BACKGROUND
Advanced Technologies Group, Ltd. (the "Company," "we," "us" and "our") was incorporated in the State of Nevada in February 2000. In January 2001, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of FX3000, Inc. (formerly Oxford Global Network, Ltd.), a Delaware corporation, the designer of the FX3000 currency trading software platform. The FX3000 software program is a financial real time quote and money management platform for use by independent foreign currency traders.
In March 2002, the Company transferred its FX3000 software program to FX Direct Dealer, LLC ("FX Direct") a joint venture company that markets the FX3000 software program. The Company received a 25% interest in the joint venture in return for the transfer. On January 26, 2009, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement effective as of December 31, 2008 (the "Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell (the "Sale") its approximate 25% membership interest (the "Membership Interest") in FX Direct to FX Direct. On March 17, 2009, the Company completed the Sale of the Membership Interest to FX Direct.
The aggregate purchase price of the Membership Interest was approximately $26,000,000, of which $9,000,000 was paid in cash at the closing of the Sale and the remaining $17,000,000 is payable in 36 equal monthly installments of $472,222.22, bearing interest at the rate of 10% per annum and evidenced by a subordinated promissory note that was issued pursuant to a Cash Subordinated Loan Agreement ("Loan Agreement").
The Company intends to seek to acquire and/or develop new technologies and other business opportunities. In this regard, effective as of July 20, 2009, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Dan Khasis, LLC ("Seller"), pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the rights to Seller's website "moveidiot.com" and the related software for a purchase price of $57,000 plus the issuance to Seller of 25,000 restricted shares of common stock. In addition, Seller may receive up to an additional 50,000 restricted shares of common stock if certain membership goals for the moveidiot.com website are met in the 12 months following the closing. Moveidiot.com is an online website which helps people and businesses expedite their move from one place to another. The Company will also consider investing in commercial real estate ventures.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company did not generate any revenues from software maintenance in the three and six month periods ended July 31, 2009 or the three and six month periods ended July 31, 2008, as the Company's software servicing and maintenance services for FX Direct were terminated in fiscal 2008 (which ended as of January 31, 2008) and there were no revenues generated by the Company from its other software products during any of these periods.
General and administrative expenses in the three and six month periods ended July 31, 2009 increased to $453,882 and $870,789, respectively, as compared to $59,660 and $119,756, respectively, in the three and six month periods ended July 31, 2008, primarily as a result of an increase in professional fees in connection with closing the Sale and in responding to a previously disclosed SEC investigation and increased compensation expenses.
Other revenues and expenses in the three and six month periods ended July 31, 2009 included $454,258 and $605,904, respectively, in interest income generated from the proceeds of the Sale. Other revenues and expenses in the three and six month periods ended July 31, 2008 included sublease income of $20,477 and $61,493, respectively.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company had net income of $376 and a net loss of ($264,885), respectively, in the three and six month periods ending July 31, 2009, as compared to net losses of ($39,172) and ($58,195), respectively, in the three and six month periods ending July 31, 2008.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At July 31, 2009, cash on hand was $6,729,672 as compared with $134,918 at January 31, 2009.
On March 17, 2009, the Company completed the Sale of its Membership Interest to FX Direct. The aggregate purchase price of the Membership Interest was approximately $26,000,000, of which $9,000,000 was paid in cash at the closing of the Sale and the remaining $17,000,000 is payable in 36 equal monthly installments of $472,222.22, bearing interest at the rate of 10% per annum and evidenced by a subordinated promissory note that was issued pursuant to a Cash Subordinated Loan Agreement ("Loan Agreement"). The Loan Agreement provides the Company with an increased interest rate in the event of late payments by the Purchaser and with the remedy of liquidation in the event of a default. The Company also received approximately $250,000 from the Purchaser in full satisfaction of amounts owed to the Company for providing certain services to the Purchaser.
The Company intends to retain the proceeds of the Sale for general working capital purposes and to engage in new business opportunities. The Company believes that the proceeds of the sale of its interest in FX Direct will be sufficient to fund its operations during fiscal 2010.
CASH FLOWS
For the six months ended July 31, 2009 net cash provided by operating activities was $6,636,211 as compared to cash used in operating activities of ($57,893) for the six months ended July 31, 2008. The substantial increase in cash provided by operating activities in the 2009 period reflected the collection of a $9,000,000 accounts receivable and $1,888,888 in notes receivable in connection with the Sale, which was partially offset by the reduction of an accounts payable of $3,314,420 in connection with the payment of accrued compensation expenses and income taxes of $677,268.
For the six months ended July 31, 2009, cash used in investing activities and financing activities was ($2,906) and ($38,551), respectively, as compared to no cash used in investing and $13,303 provided by financing activities in the six months ended July 31, 2008.
