Quarterly Report
Some of the statements under "Business," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenues, projected costs, prospects, and the plans and objectives of management and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed, implied or inferred by these forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "could," "would," "expects," "plans," "intends," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential" or "continue" or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we do not know whether we can achieve positive future results, levels of activity, performance, or goals. Actual events or results may differ materially. We undertake no obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this Annual Report to conform those statements to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by applicable law.
General
Aprecia Inc. ("we," "Aprecia," or the "Company") was formed to become a leading edge provider of applied artificial intelligence solutions for thoroughbred and lottery applications. We developed MonitorPlus, an analysis tool designed to help the thoroughbred racing and lottery industry by providing alerts when potential wagering fraud or money laundering is detected. We have marketed our products through a partner/distributor primarily to regulatory bodies. Our success was largely dependent on the market acceptance of MonitorPlus, efficient utilization of our infrastructure, successful ongoing development of advanced process technologies and generation of sufficient return on research and development investments.
The Company is currently inactive.
Going Concern
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit at September 30, 2009, a net loss and net cash used in operating activities for the interim period then ended, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
While the Company is attempting to commence operations and generate sufficient revenues, the Company's cash position may not be sufficient enough to support the Company's daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to generate sufficient revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company's ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues.
Our Management continues to meet operating deficits primarily through short-term borrowings and is attempting to utilize other debt and dilutive and non-dilutive equity financing alternatives to sustain operations. Whether such financing will be available as needed and the ultimate form of such financing is uncertain and the effects of this uncertainty could ultimately lead to bankruptcy.
Accordingly, as of the date of this Report, we are attempting to sell the Company; however, we can offer no assurances that we will be successful, or, if we are successful, what the terms of such sale will be.
Revenue
We have not generated revenues from planned principal operations and we are currently inactive. We originally had planned on becoming involved in the business of identifying money laundering in various sporting venues, but have since dropped such plans and are now seeking to sell the Company or obtain additional financings. However, there is no assurance that we will achieve either goal.
Net Loss
Our net loss was $41,199 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared
to $58,681 for the three months ended September 30, 2008.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses were $8,473 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $35,083 for the three months ended September 30, 2008.
Other (Income) Expenses
Other (income) expenses were $40,726 inclusive of $1,166 change in the fair value of derivative warrant liability, and $39,560 interest expenses relating to its convertible debentures and notes payable for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $23,598 of interest expenses relating to its convertible debentures and notes payable for the three months ended September 30, 2008.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
Research and Development
None.
Financing Activities
7% Convertible Debentures
In March 2006, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of March 10, 2006, with four investors relating to the issuance and sale, in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), of 7% Convertible Debentures in the principal amount of $500,000. The debentures are collateralized by all of the now owned and hereafter acquired rights, title and interest of the Company's assets. The debentures mature 24 months from the closing. The debentures are convertible at the option of the holder into our common stock at the rate of $0.12 per share. Expenses incurred in connection with the private offering of the debentures were $185,000. Such expenses are carried as deferred finance costs and are being amortized over the term of the debt.
On December 15, 2008, the Allonge No. 1 to three (3) of the Convertible Debentures were made by and between the Company and the debenture holders. Except as amended hereby, the terms of the Note remain as originally stated. The Principal Amounts as stated on the face of certain Debentures were increased in aggregate to $515,466. Interest on the increased portion of the Principal Amounts shall accrue from the date of this Allonge.
Accrued interest on the convertible debentures as of September 30, 2009, was $195,547.
Notes Payable
In May 2007, we sold two (2) $93,500 each, or in aggregate, $187,000 principal of 7% secured promissory notes (the "Notes") and 500,000 Common Stock purchase warrants (the "Warrants") (collectively, the "Securities") for an aggregate purchase price of $170,000. The Notes were due September 2007, and are secured by the Company's assets. The Warrants have an exercise price of $0.18 per share and a term of five years. In connection with the sale of the Securities, we issued as broker's fees: (i) 83,111 common stock purchase warrants ($0.18 exercise price, five year term) and (ii) a promissory note in the amount of $14,963. In addition, we incurred legal fees of approximately $30,500 in connection with the sale of the Securities. The Company is currently accruing interest at the default rate of 18% per annum.
Allonge No. 1
On December 15, 2008, the Allonge No. 1 to one of the Notes was made by and between the Company and the note holder. Except as amended hereby, the terms of the Note remain as originally stated.
The Principal Amount as stated on the face of the Note shall be increased by $21,250 to $114,750. Interest on the increased portion of the Principal Amount shall accrue from the date of this Allonge. The amendment to the Principal Amount due and owing on the Note described herein notwithstanding, Lender does not waive interest that may have accrued at a default rate of interest and liquidated damages, if any, that may have accrued on the Note through the date of this Allonge, which default interest and liquidated damages, if any, remain outstanding and payable.
Allonge No. 2
On December 29, 2008, the Allonge No. 2 to one of the Notes was made by and between the Company and the note holder, however the note holder never transferred the funds to the Company, which invalidated the Allonge No. 2.
Allonge No. 3
On September 23, 2009, the Allonge No. 3 to one of the Notes was made by and between the Company and the note holder. Except as amended hereby, the terms of the Note remain as originally stated.
The Principal Amount as stated on the face of the Note shall be increased by $10,000 to $124,750. Interest on the increased portion of the Principal Amount shall accrue from the date of this Allonge. The amendment to the Principal Amount due and owing on the Note described herein notwithstanding, Lender does not waive interest that may have accrued at a default rate of interest and liquidated damages, if any, that may have accrued on the Note through the date of this Allonge, which default interest and liquidated damages, if any, remain outstanding and payable.
The notes are currently in default and the Company is accruing interest at the default rate of 18% per annum.
Accrued interest on the Notes as of September 30, 2009, was $89,531.
Loans Payable - Stockholder
In November 2007, a stockholder loaned the Company $28,000. Such loan bears interest at the rate of 6% per annum and is due November 2008. Interest accrued and owed on this loan amounts to $210.
This same stockholder loaned the Company an additional $11,000 on February 12, 2008 expiring one year from the date of issuance. Such loan bears interest at the rate of 6% per annum and is currently past due.
In June 2008, a stockholder loaned the Company $25,000. The loan bears interest at 6% per annum and is due June 2009.
Accrued interest on the loans payable - stockholder as of September 30, 2009 was $5,671.
Access to capital markets has historically been important to us. Depending on market conditions, we may issue registered or unregistered securities to raise capital to fund a portion of our operations. However, as of the date of this Report, we are attempting to sell the Company but can offer no assurances that we will be successful, or, if we are successful, what the terms of such sale will be.
Employees
As of September 30, 2009, we had no full-time employees.
Related Party Transactions
In September 2007, we agreed to provide our former CEO, Mr. Sobkowski, with a full release from all non-compete and non-solicitation clauses in his agreements, either written and oral, and either explicit and implied, in exchange for full settlement of any outstanding debts owed to him that are unpaid. In addition, we granted him a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right and license to use the MonitorPlus software source code, and all derivative works thereof, in return for agreement to render reasonable assistance in the winding-down of the Company's original business plans. That winding-down continues as of the date of this Report.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05
In June 2011, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 "Comprehensive Income" ("ASU 2011-05"), which was the result of a joint project with the IASB and amends the guidance in ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, by eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income (OCI) in the statement of stockholders' equity. Instead, the new guidance now gives entities the option to present all non-owner changes in stockholders' equity either as a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or as two separate but consecutive statements. Regardless of whether an entity chooses to present comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements, the amendments require entities to present all reclassification adjustments from OCI to net income on the face of the statement of comprehensive income.
The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively and are effective for public entity for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.
FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08
In September 2011, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No.
2011-08 "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Testing Goodwill for Impairment" ("ASU
2011-08"). This Update is to simplify how public and nonpublic entities test
goodwill for impairment. The amendments permit an entity to first assess
qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the
fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for
determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment
test described in Topic 350. Under the amendments in this Update, an entity is
not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity
determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its
carrying amount.
The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after
December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted.
FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-10
In December 2011, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-10 "Property, Plant and Equipment: Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate-a Scope Clarification" ("ASU 2011-09"). This Update is to resolve the diversity in practice as to how financial statements have been reflecting circumstances when parent company reporting entities cease to have controlling financial interests in subsidiaries that are in substance real estate, where the situation arises as a result of default on nonrecourse debt of the subsidiaries.
The amended guidance is effective for annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2012 for public entities. Early adoption is permitted.
FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11
In December 2011, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 "Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2011-11"). This Update requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The objective of this disclosure is to facilitate comparison between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S. GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of IFRS.
The amended guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods.
FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12
In December 2011, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12 "Comprehensive Income: Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05" ("ASU 2011-12"). This Update is a deferral of the effective date pertaining to reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income in ASU 2011-05. FASB is to going to reassess the costs and benefits of those provisions in ASU 2011-05 related to reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. Due to the time required to properly make such a reassessment and to evaluate alternative presentation formats, the FASB decided that it is necessary to reinstate the requirements for the presentation of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income that were in place before the issuance of Update 2011-05.
All other requirements in Update 2011-05 are not affected by this Update, including the requirement to report comprehensive income either in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. Public entities should apply these requirements for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.
Other Recently Issued, but not yet Effective Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires our Management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. Estimates and judgments are based on historical experience, forecasted future events and various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and judgments may vary under different assumptions or conditions. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. Management believes the accounting policies below are critical in the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments.
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to the possibility of losses from various contingencies. Considerable judgment is necessary to estimate the probability and amount of any loss from such contingencies. An accrual is made when it is probable that a liability has been incurred or an asset been impaired and the amount of loss can re reasonably estimated. The Company accrues a liability and charges operations for the estimated costs of adjudication or settlement of asserted and unasserted claims existing as of the balance sheet date.
Research and Development
None.
Equity Instruments Issued to Parties Other Than Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under guidance of Subtopic 505-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("Subtopic 505-50").
Pursuant to Section 505-50-30, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.
The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using the Cox, Ross & Rubenstein Binomial Lattice Model or Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:
· Expected term of share options and similar instruments: Pursuant to Paragraph 718-10-50-2 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and holder's expected exercise behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments. Pursuant to paragraph 718-50-S99-1, it may be appropriate to use the simplified method, if (i) A company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term due to the limited period of time its equity shares have been publicly traded; (ii) A company significantly changes the terms of its share option grants or the types of employees that receive share option grants such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term; or (iii) A company has or expects to have significant structural changes in its business such that its historical exercise data may no longer provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate expected term of share options and similar instruments as the company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.
· Expected volatility of the entity's shares and the method used to estimate it. An entity that uses a method that employs different volatilities during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected volatilities used and the weighted-average expected volatility. A thinly-traded or nonpublic entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for it to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index that it has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index. The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected term of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility. If shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.
· Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends. An entity that uses a method that employs different dividend rates during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected dividends used and the weighted-average expected dividends. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company's current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.
· Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk-free rates used. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.
Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-25-7, if fully vested, nonforfeitable equity instruments are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (no specific performance is required by the grantee to retain those equity instruments), then, because of the elimination of any obligation on the part of the counterparty to earn the equity instruments, a measurement date has been reached. A grantor shall recognize the equity instruments when they are issued (in most cases, when the agreement is entered into). Whether the corresponding cost is an immediate expense or a prepaid asset (or whether the debit should be characterized as contra-equity under the requirements of paragraph 505-50-45-1) depends on the specific facts and circumstances. Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-45-1, a grantor may conclude that an asset (other than a note or a receivable) has been received in return for fully vested, nonforfeitable equity instruments that are issued at the date the grantor and grantee enter into an agreement for goods or services (and no specific performance is required by the grantee in order to retain those equity instruments). Such an asset shall not be displayed as contra-equity by the grantor of the equity instruments. The transferability (or lack thereof) of the equity instruments shall not affect the balance sheet display of the asset. This guidance is limited to transactions in which equity instruments are transferred to other than employees in exchange for goods or services. Section 505-50-30 provides guidance on the determination of the measurement date for transactions that are within the scope of this Subtopic.
Pursuant to ASC paragraphs 505-50-25-8 and 505-50-25-9, an entity may grant fully vested, nonforfeitable equity instruments that are exercisable by the grantee only after a specified period of time if the terms of the agreement provide for earlier exercisability if the grantee achieves specified performance conditions. Any measured cost of the transaction shall be recognized in the same period(s) and in the same manner as if the entity had paid cash for the goods or services or used cash rebates as a sales discount instead of paying with, or using, the equity instruments. A recognized asset, expense, or sales discount shall not be reversed if a stock option that the counterparty has the right to exercise expires unexercised.
Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-30-S99-1, if the Company receives a right to receive future services in exchange for unvested, forfeitable equity instruments, those equity instruments are treated as unissued for accounting purposes until the future services are received (that is, the instruments are not considered issued until they vest). Consequently, there would be no recognition at the measurement date and no entry should be recorded.
