Overview and Recent History
Data Storage Consulting Services, Inc. sells data storage protection and consulting services to small and medium businesses. We currently operate exclusively in Colorado. We market and sell our products and services to directly to business end users. We have a limited history of operations.
On March 7, 2008, we closed our registered public offering. We sold a total of 404,000 common shares at a price of $.25 per share, for a total of $101,000.
Our headquarters are located at 13990 Braun Road, Golden, CO 80401. Our phone number at our headquarters is (303)883-9334. Our fiscal year end is December 31st.
To date, since inception on December 12, 2006, we have had no revenues and only losses, and we anticipate this continuing for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, until such time that we are profitable, if at all, we will be dependent upon debt and equity financing which may not be available to us. Our auditors are currently of the opinion, and have formally indicated that for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, that they doubt our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our continued net losses.
Plan of Operation
We did not have revenues and only losses since inception on December 12, 2006.
Accordingly, our only source of capital has been the gross proceeds of $101,000
from our registered public offering which closed on March 7, 2008.
As a development stage company in the early phase of developing its business
- selling data storage protection and consulting services to small and medium
businesses -- our primary efforts have been devoted to developing our business
and raising capital. We have limited capital resources and have experienced net
losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception and expect these
conditions to continue for the foreseeable future. As of June 30, 2009, the
Company had $0 in cash and other current assets. We estimate that we will
require a minimum of approximately $36,000 for operating expenses over the next
12 months. Since we do not have any cash and cash assets as of June 30, 2009
and we do not anticipate having revenues for the foreseeable future, we will be
required to raise additional funds to meet our short goals. There can be no
assurance that such funds, if available at all, can be obtained on terms
reasonable to us. We cannot predict if and when we will become profitable and
less dependent upon outside financing sources.
If we are unsuccessful in our attempts to raise sufficient capital, we may have to cease operations, seek joint venture partners, a merger or acquisition candidate, or postpone our plans to initiate or complete our business plan. In that case, you may lose your entire investment in our company.
Our plan for the next 12 months is to operate at a profit or at break even. Our plan is to attract sufficient additional product sales and services within our present organizational structure and resources to become profitable in our operations.
Currently, we are conducting business in only one location in the Denver Metropolitan area. We have no plans to expand into other locations or areas. We believe that we can achieve profitability as we are presently organized with sufficient business.
Proposed Milestones
At the present time, we are operating from one location in the Denver Metropolitan area. Our plan is to make our operation profitable by the end of our next fiscal year. We estimate that we must generate approximately $3,000 in sales per month to be profitable.
We believe that we can be profitable or at break even by the end of the first quarter of the next fiscal year, assuming sufficient sales of which there is no assurance. Based upon our current plans, we have adjusted our operating expenses so that cash generated from operations and from working capital financing, if any, is expected to be sufficient for the foreseeable future to fund our operations at our currently forecasted levels. To try to operate at a break-even level based upon our current level of anticipated business activity, we believe that we must generate approximately $36,000 in revenue per year. However, if our forecasts are inaccurate, we will need to raise additional funds. On the other hand, we may choose to scale back our operations to operate at break-even with a smaller level of business activity, while adjusting our overhead to meet the revenue from current operations. In addition, we expect that we will need to raise additional funds if we decide to pursue more rapid expansion, the development of new or enhanced services and products, appropriate responses to competitive pressures, or the acquisition of complementary businesses or technologies, or if we must respond to unanticipated events that require us to make additional investments. We cannot assure that additional financing will be available when needed on favorable terms, or at all.
We expect to incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses and not generating sufficient revenues. We expect approximately $36,000 in operating costs over the next twelve months. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues or other funds in the future to cover these operating costs. Failure to generate sufficient revenues or additional financing when needed could cause us to go out of business
No commitments to provide additional funds have been made by management or current shareholders. There is no assurance that additional funds will be made available to us on terms that will be acceptable, or at all, if and when needed. We expect to continue to generate and increase sales, but there can be no assurance we will generate sales sufficient to continue operations or to expand.
We also are planning to rely on the possibility of referrals from clients and will strive to satisfy our clients. We believe that referrals will be an effective form of advertising because of the quality of service that we bring to clients. We believe that satisfied clients will bring more and repeat clients.
In the next 12 months, we do not intend to spend any material funds on research and development and do not intend to purchase any large equipment.
Results of Operations
The Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2008
The revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 were both $0.
The Operating Expenses, which are composed entirely of general and administrative expenses, for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, were $6,251 and $40,625, respectively. The higher expenses in 2008 were attributable to the payment of the professional fees and costs related to the Company's 2008 registered public offering.
Similarly, our Net Loss for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, were $6,251 and $40,625, respectively.
The Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2008
The revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 were both $0.
The Operating Expenses, which are composed entirely of general and administrative expenses, for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, were $7,841 and $48,993, respectively. The higher expenses in 2008 were attributable to the payment of the professional fees and costs related to the Company's 2008 registered public offering.
Similarly, our Net Loss for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, were $7,841 and $48,993, respectively.
Generally, the major components of general and administrative expenses to date were payments to independent contractors, professional fees, and prepaid expenses. While our general and administrative expenses will continue to be our largest expense item until and if we become fully operational, we believe that this expense will stabilize in the coming fiscal year as we reduce independent contractors, professional fees, and prepaid expenses.
Also, in general, we believe that overhead cost in current operations should remain fairly constant as (if) revenues develop. Each dollar of revenue will have minimal offsetting overhead cost. We believe that if we can develop sufficient revenues, we could be profitable by the end of the first quarter of fiscal year 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2009, we had cash or cash equivalents of $0.00.
Net cash used for operating activities was $16 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $17,242 for the period ended June 30, 2008.
We will attempt to maintain overhead costs in current operations as we develop revenues.
Presently, we believe that we can attract sufficient additional product sales and services within our present organizational structure and resources to become profitable in our operations. Additional resources will be needed to expand into additional locations, which we have no plans to do at this time.
We believe that the principal source of our liquidity will be our operations. Our variation in revenues is based upon the level of our sales activity and will account for the difference between a profit and a loss. Also business activity is closely tied to the economy of Denver and the U.S. economy. A slow down in interior design work will have a negative impact to our business. In any case, we try to operate with minimal overhead. Our primary activity will be to seek to expand the interior design projects and, consequently, our sales. If we succeed in expanding our client base and generating sufficient sales, we will become profitable. We cannot guarantee that this will ever occur. Our plan is to build our company in any manner which will be successful.
Since we had no available cash resources on June 30, 2009 and we do not anticipate sufficient revenues in the foreseeable future, we intend to seek additional funding (debt or equity) from outside sources (and possibly from our officers and directors) for pursuing our business plan, to the extent that our operations do not generate sufficient levels of profitability and cash flow. Should we seek to raise additional capital, there can be no assurances that such capital can be raised on satisfactory terms, on a timely basis, or at all. In the event that we are unable to raise the additional capital (or a significant portion of it) that we require, we will not be able to execute our business plan which may result in the termination of our operations.
Our future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including the expansion of our business operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At June 30, 2009, we did not have any transactions, obligations or relationships that could be considered off-balance sheet arrangements.
Significant Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventories, valuation of intangible assets and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The accounting policies that we follow are set forth in Note 1 to our financial statements as included in this document. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123R "Share Based Payment." This statement is a revision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123R addresses all forms of share based payment ("SBP") awards including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. Under SFAS No. 123R, SBP awards result in a cost that will be measured at fair value on the awards' grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest. This statement is effective for public entities that file as issuers, as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. We adopted this pronouncement during the first quarter of 2005.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets
- An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. The amendments made by SFAS No. 153 are
based on the principle that exchanges of non-monetary assets should be measured
based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments
eliminate the narrow exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive
assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of non-monetary
assets that do not have "commercial substance." SFAS No. 153 is effective for
non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June
15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 on its effective date did not have a
material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2005, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143", which specifies the accounting treatment for obligations associated with the sale or disposal of an asset when there are legal requirements attendant to such a disposition. We adopted this pronouncement in 2005, as required, but there was no impact as there are no legal obligations associated with the future sale or disposal of any assets.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and SFAS Statement No. 3". SFAS No. 154 changes the requirements for the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle by requiring retrospective application to prior periods' financial statements of the change in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 154 to have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.
