Summary of Accounting
Policies
Basis
of presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as at September 30,
2009, and the consolidated condensed statements of operations and cash flows for
the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2009,
include the accounts of Creative Vistas, Inc. (“CVAS”), Creative Vistas
Acquisition Corp. (“AC Acquisition”), AC Technical Systems Ltd. (“AC
Technical”), Cancable Holding Corp. (“Cancable Holding”), Cancable Inc.,
Cancable, Inc., Cancable XL Inc., XL Digital Services Inc. (“XL Digital”),
2141306 Ontario Inc., Iview Holding Corp. (“Iview Holding”), and Iview Digital
Video Solutions Inc. (“Iview DSI”). All material inter-company
accounts, transactions and profits have been eliminated. In the
opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary
for a fair presentation of the results for and as of the periods
shown. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States. However, certain information or footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the
results expected for 2009 or for any future period. These financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes
included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2008, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In
preparing the accompanying financial statements, we have evaluated subsequent
event through November 16, 2009, the issuance date of this Form 10Q, we have
determined that no events or transactions have occurred subsequent to September
30, 2009, which require recognition or disclosure in the financial
statements.
Reclassifications
Certain
amounts from the September 30, 2008 financial statements have been reclassified
to conform to the current year’s presentation.
Liquidity
and going concern
Our
consolidated condensed financial statements were prepared using accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a
going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of
liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred a loss of
$883,298 for the period ended September 30, 2009 and have an accumulated deficit
of $32,241,221 at September 30, 2009.
We have
outstanding term loans aggregating $15,648,024, together with common stock
options and warrants, held by Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”) and its
related entities. We do not currently have the ability to repay the notes in the
event of a demand by the holder. Furthermore, we granted a security interest to
Laurus and its related entities in substantially all of our assets and,
accordingly, in the event of any default under our agreements with Laurus and
its related entities, they could conceivably attempt to foreclose on our assets,
which could cause us to terminate our operations. As of September 30, 2009,
there were 13,392,983 shares of common stock of CVAS issuable upon the exercise
of warrants and 129,155 shares issuable upon the exercise of options which were
issued to Laurus, and its related entities, Erato Corporation, Valens Offshore
Fund, Valens U.S. Fund, LLC and PSource Structured Debt Limited. Additionally,
there were 49 shares of common stock of Cancable Holding issuable upon the
exercise of options and 20 shares of common stock of Iview Holding issuable upon
the exercise of options to Laurus and its related entities.
Over the
next twelve months the Company believes that its existing capital will be
sufficient to sustain its operations. Management plans to seek additional
capital in the future to fund operations, growth and expansion through
additional equity, debt financing or credit facilities. The Company has had
early stage discussions with investors about potential investment in the Company
at a future date. No assurance can be made that such financing would be
available, and if available it may take either the form of debt or equity. In
either case, the financing could have a negative impact on our financial
condition and our shareholders. The Company has introduced cost cutting
initiatives within the Administration, Project and Selling departments to
improve efficiency within the Company and also improve cash flow. The
Company has also increased its rates for services provided by AC Technical to
improve gross margins. This is in line with our competitors. The Company also
expects to see the benefits of its research and development efforts within the
next 12 months as it starts to introduce its own line of customized products to
the industry. These products and technologies are expected to improve gross
margins. The Company believes that it will be eligible for research and
development tax credits at year end for its research and development efforts
during the year and these are additional sources of cash flow for the Company.
For all the reasons mentioned above, we believe that we have adequate short term
borrowing capability and that we will be able to sustain our operations and
continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time although there can
be no assurance of this.
The
financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible
future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts
and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of
the Company to continue as a going concern.
Inventory
Inventory
consists of materials and supplies and is stated at the lower of cost and market
value. Cost is generally determined on the first in, first out
basis. The inventory is net of estimated obsolescence, and excess
inventory based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions.
Inventory consists principally of parts, materials and supplies.
Earnings
(loss) per share
Basic
loss per share (“LPS”) is computed using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted LPS is computed using the weighted
average number of common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during
the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of common stock
issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock
method. An adjustment to earnings per share calculation includes reversing the
changes in derivative instruments. Dilutive common share equivalents
are not considered in periods when their effect is antidilutive.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting
Standards Codification - In June, 2009, FASB established the FASB
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) as the single source of authoritative
GAAP. The ASC is a new structure which took existing accounting
pronouncements and organized them by accounting topic. Relevant authoritative
literature issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and select
SEC staff interpretations and administrative literature was also included in the
ASC. All other accounting guidance not included in the ASC is non-authoritative.
The ASC is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after
September 15, 2009. The adoption of the ASC did not have an impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
Subsequent
Events - In May, 2009, the ASC guidance for subsequent events was updated
to establish accounting and reporting standards for events that occur after the
balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available
to be issued. The update sets forth: (i) the period after the balance sheet
date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or
transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the
financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should
recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet in its
financial statements, and (iii) the disclosures that an entity should make
about events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its
financial statements. The new guidance requires the disclosure of the date
through which subsequent events have been evaluated. The Company adopted the
updated guidance in 2009. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
Fair
Value Accounting - In August 2009, the ASC guidance for fair value
measurements and disclosure was updated to further define fair value of
liabilities. This update provides clarification for circumstances in which:
(i) a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not
available, (ii) the liability has a restriction that prevents its transfer, and
(iii) the identical liability is traded as an asset in an active market in
which no adjustments to the quoted price of an asset are required. The updated
guidance is effective for the Company’s interim reporting period beginning
October 1, 2009. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of adopting
this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of
operations and cash flows.
Variable
Interest Entities - In June 2009, the ASC guidance for consolidation
accounting was updated to require an entity to perform a qualitative analysis to
determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest gives it a controlling
financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”). This analysis
identifies a primary beneficiary of a VIE as the entity that has both of the
following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE
that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and
(ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the entity
that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The updated guidance also
requires ongoing reassessments of the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The updated
guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1,
2010. The Company currently is evaluating the potential impact of adopting this
guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations
and cash flows.
There
were no other accounting standards and interpretations recently issued which are
expected to a have a material impact on the Company's financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.

Bank
Indebtedness
During
the period ended June 30, 2008, the Company established credit facilities with a
Canadian chartered bank to provide for borrowings by its subsidiaries, AC
Technical and Cancable Inc. The credit facility for AC Technical and
Cancable was $500,000 and $3,500,000 respectively. Revolving credit loans bear
interest at the bank’s domestic prime rate plus 1.5% for Canadian dollar
amounts. Interest is payable monthly. The facilities are secured by
an assignment of book debts, inventory, certain other assets and life insurance.
As at September 30, 2009, the interest rate of the Canadian dollar amount was
3.75%. At September 30, 2009, the borrowings outstanding under both facilities
were $2,307,548. The Company banking facility agreements contain
financial covenants pertaining to maintenance of the tangible net worth and debt
service coverage ratio. In the event of default, the bank could at its
discretion cancel the facilities and demand immediate repayment of all
outstanding amounts. Both credit facilities were due in March 2009 and the
Company is currently negotiating the renewal of these banking
facilities.
In
January 2006, concurrently with the closing of the acquisition of Cancable Inc.,
the Company entered into a series of agreements with Laurus whereby Cancable
issued to Laurus a secured term note (the “Cancable Note”) in the amount of
$6,865,000 and Cancable Holding issued to Laurus a related option to purchase up
to 49 shares of common stock of Cancable Holding (up to 49% of the outstanding
shares of Cancable Holding) at a price of $0.01 per share (the “Option”). The
loan is secured by all of the assets of the Company and its
subsidiaries.
The
Cancable Note bears interest at the prime rate plus 1.75% with a minimum rate of
7%. Interest accrued on the term note but was not payable until February 1,
2006. Interest is calculated on the basis of a 360 day
year. The minimum monthly payment on the term note is $81,726
commencing from October 1, 2006. The Company is not obligated, except
upon an event of default, to pay more than 25% of the original principal amount
prior to December 31, 2011.
In
February 2006, the Company and its subsidiaries, Iview Holding and Iview DSI
entered into a series of agreements with Laurus pursuant to a refinancing
transaction whereby the Company issued to Laurus a secured term note (the
“Company Note”) in the amount of $8,250,000, Iview DSI issued to Laurus a
secured term note (the “Iview Note”) in the amount of $2,000,000, the Company
issued to Laurus a related warrant to purchase up to 2,411,003 shares of common
stock of the Company (up to 7.5% of the outstanding shares of the Company) at a
price of $0.01 per share (the “Warrant”) and Iview Holding issued to Laurus a
related option to purchase up to 20 shares of common stock of Iview Holding (up
to 20% of the outstanding shares of Iview Holding) at a price of $0.01 per share
(the “Option”). The loans are secured by all of the assets of the Company and
its subsidiaries. Simultaneously with the closing of this refinancing
transaction, the Company paid off the entire outstanding principal amount and
all obligations due to Laurus under a Secured Convertible Term Note, a Secured
Convertible Minimum Borrowing Note and a Secured Revolving Note, all dated
September 30, 2004 (collectively, the “2004 Notes”) and such 2004 Notes were
subsequently cancelled.
The
options held by Laurus to acquire 49% of Cancable Holding and 20% of Iview
Holding are accounted for as noncontrolling interests. Because the
options have not been exercised and Cancable Holding and Iview Holding have
incurred losses, no noncontrolling interests have been recognized at September
30, 2009.
The
Company Note bears interest at the prime rate plus 2% with a minimum rate of 7%.
Interest accrued on the term note but was not payable until April 1,
2006. Interest is calculated on the basis of a 360 day
year. The minimum monthly payment on the term note is $137,500
commencing March 1, 2007 to February 1, 2010, with a balance of $4,950,000
payable on the maturity date. Through September 30, 2009, the Company has issued
warrants to purchase up to 2,592,000 shares of common stock of the Company at
prices from $0.16 to $2.84 per share to defer until maturity the principal
repayments that were due from March 1, 2007 to September 1, 2009.
The Iview
Note bears interest at the prime rate plus 2% with a minimum rate of 7%.
Interest accrued on the term note but was not payable until April 1,
2006. Interest is calculated on the basis of a 360 day
year. The minimum monthly payment on the term note is $8,333
commencing March 1, 2007 to February 1, 2011, with the balance
of $1,600,000 payable on the maturity date. The Company is not
obligated, except upon an event of default, to pay more than 25% of the original
principal amount prior to December 31, 2011.
In June
2008, the Company and its subsidiary,
Cancable Inc., entered
into a financing transaction whereby the Company issued to Valens Offshore SPV
II, Corp. (“Valens Offshore”) and Valens U.S. SPV I, LLC (“Valens U.S.”) secured
term notes in the amount of $1,700,000 and $800,000, respectively (collectively,
the “Company Second Notes”). Valens Offshore and Valens U.S. are entities
related to Laurus. The Company also issued to Valens Offshore and
Valens U.S. warrants to purchase up to 1,333,333 and 627,451 shares,
respectively, of common stock of the Company at a price of $0.01 per share. The
loans are secured by all of the assets of the Company and all its
subsidiaries.
Interest
on the term note for the period ended September 30, 2009 was $1,096,632 (2008:
$1,052,523).

Note Payable to
Related Parties
In
September 2004, the Company issued two promissory notes with an aggregate
principal amount of $3,300,000. On September 30, 2004, the Company repaid
an aggregate of $1,800,000 of the principal balance. The outstanding principal
bears interest at 3% per annum with no fixed terms of repayment and payable on
demand. However, pursuant to the Laurus Financing, these notes have been
subordinated to the Company’s obligations to Laurus. The notes each with an
amount of $750,000 are due to The Burns Trust (the president is one of the
beneficiaries of the trust) and the Navaratnam Trust (the chairman is one of the
beneficiaries of the trust), respectively. During the period ended June 30,
2006, the above two notes payable have been transferred to Malar Trust Inc. (the
Company’s chairman is the shareholder of Malar Trust Inc.).
Interest
expense recognized for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 was
$38,610 (2008 - $37,442).

During
the period ended March 31, 2009, the Company issued 166,835 common shares for
legal fees with the fair market value of $45,056. During the period ended June

Options
The
Company’s Stock Option Plan is intended to provide incentives for key employees,
directors, consultants and other individuals providing services to the Company
by encouraging their ownership of the common stock of the Company and to aid the
Company in retaining such key employees, directors, consultants and other
individuals upon whose efforts the Company’s success and future growth depends
and in attracting other such employees, directors, consultants and
individuals.
The Plan
is administered by the Board of Directors, or its Compensation
Committee. Under the Plan, options on a total of 4,000,000 shares of
common stock may be issued. Shares of common stock covered by options
which have terminated or expired prior to exercise are available for further
options under the Plan. The maximum aggregate number of
shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan as “incentive stock options”
is 3,500,000 shares. No options may be granted under the Plan after
June 30, 2011; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may at any time
prior to that date amends the Plan.
Options
under the Plan may be granted to key employees of the Company, including
officers or directors of the Company, and to consultants and other individuals
providing services to the Company. Options may be granted to eligible
individuals whether or not they hold or have held options previously granted
under the Plan or otherwise granted or assumed by the Company. In
selecting individuals for options, the Committee may take into consideration any
factors it may deem relevant, including its estimate of the individual’s present
and potential contributions to the success of the Company.
The
Committee may, in its discretion, prescribe the terms and conditions of the
options to be granted under the Plan, which terms and conditions need not be the
same in each case, subject to the following:
a.
|
Option
Price. The price at which each share of common stock covered by
an option granted under the Plan may be purchased may not be less than the
market value per share of the common stock on the date of grant of the
option. The date of grant of an option shall be the date
specified by the Committee in its grant of the option, which date will
normally be the date the Committee determines to make such
grant.
|
b.
|
Option
Period. The period for exercise of an option shall in no event
be more than five years from the date of grant. Options may, in
the discretion of the Committee, be made exercisable in installments
during the option period.
|
c.
|
Exercise
of Options. For the purpose of assisting an Optionee to
exercise an option, the Company may make loans to the Optionee or
guarantee loans made by third parties to the Optionee, on such terms and
conditions as the Board of Directors may authorize. In no event shall any
option be exercisable more than five years from the date of grant
thereof.
|
d.
|
Lock-Up
Period. Without the consent of the Company, an Optionee may not
sell more than fifty percent of the shares issued under the Plan for a
period of two years from the date that the Optionee exercises the option.
The Committee may impose such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent
with the terms of the Plan, on the grant or exercise of options, as it
deems advisable.
|
The fair
value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option valuation model, using the assumptions noted in the
following table. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of
the Company’s stock, and other factors. The Company uses historical data to
estimate employee termination within the valuation model. Because the Company
has not previously granted options to employees, for purposes of the valuation
model, the Company has assumed that the life of the options will be equal to
one-half of the combined vesting period and contractual life (i.e. that
employees will exercise the options at the midpoint between the vesting and
expiry date of the options). The risk-free rates used to value the options are
based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of
grant.
During
2009, the Company granted to employees options to purchase 370,000 shares of
common stock, at prices ranging from $0.26 to $0.63 per share; the options
expire in 2013.
At
September 30, 2009 options to purchase 2,133,000 shares of common stock were
outstanding. These options vest ratably in annual installments, over
the four year period from the date of grant. As of September 30,
2009, there was $121,969 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to
non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. That
cost is expected to be recognized over the four year vesting period. At
September 30, 2009, 1,190,750 options were vested. The cost recognized for the
nine month period ended September 30, 2009 was $10,813 (2008:$304,059) which was
recorded as general and administrative expenses.
In
valuing the options issued, the following assumptions were used;

Warrants
The
Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value warrants issued to
non-employees, based on the market price of our common stock at the time the
warrants are issued. All outstanding warrants may be exercised by the holder at
any time. During the period ended September 30, 2009, in
connection with financing, the Company issued warrants to purchase 864,000
shares of common stock. The fair market value of the warrants of
$155,993 was measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the
following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 1.41% to 2.19%, expected
dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 140%, exercise prices of $0.16 to $0.27 and
the life of the warrants 4 years.
As of
September 30, 2009, we had the following common stocks warrants
outstanding:

Results
of Operations
Comparison
of Three Months Period Ended September 30, 2009
to
Period Ended September 30, 2008
For
purposes of this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation”, we
compared the three month period ended September 30, 2009, to the comparable
period in 2008.
Sales
: Sales
for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 totaled $11,322,400,
compared to $13,994,600 for the same period in 2008, representing a decrease of
19.1%. The decrease in revenue was mainly due to the decline in
service revenue of Cancable Segment to $8,889,600 for the three month period
ended September 30, 2009 from $11,805,300 for the same period in
2008.
(a)
Cancable Segment – This segment includes Cancable Inc., Cancable, Inc., XL
Digital and 2141306 Ontario Inc. (collectively, the “Cancable
Group”). The principal activity is provisioning the deployment and
servicing of broadband technologies in both residential and commercial
markets. The Cancable Group’s service offering, network deployment,
IT integration, and support services, enable the cable television and
telecommunications industries to deliver a high quality broadband experience to
their customers. The total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal
2009 from the Cancable segment was $8,889,600 as compared to $11,805,300 for the
same period of 2008. The decline in revenue was primarily due to the decrease in
revenue generated from our customer Rogers Cable Inc. Rogers Cable Inc. is
Cancable Group’s largest customer and the revenue from this customer for the
three month period ended September 30, 2009 was $5,371,300 or 60.4% of total
Cancable revenue compared to $7,338,600 or 62.2% for the same period of fiscal
2008. Total revenue generated in the United States for the third quarter of
fiscal 2009 was $1,702,800 compared to $2,242,500 for the same period in fiscal
2008. The decrease in revenue was mainly due to the exchange rate fluctuations
as well as the weakened economy. (b) AC Technical segment - Total revenue of AC
Technical segment was $2,401,900 for the three month period ended September 30,
2009 compared to $2,047,900 for the same period of fiscal
2008. Contract revenue was $2,010,400 for the third
quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to $1,648,500 for the same period of fiscal
2008. The service revenue was $391,500 for the three months ended
September 30, 2009, compared to $399,400 for the same period of fiscal
2008.
Direct Expenses (excluding

: Direct expenses as a percentage of revenue for
the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $8,187,500 or 72.3% of revenues
compared to $11,252,800 or 80.4% of revenues for same period in 2008. The direct
expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 were higher which
was driven predominantly by the initial training and set up cost of developing
the Company’s business in the United States. (a) Cancable segment – Direct
expenses of this segment were $6,920,200 for the three months ended September
30, 2009 which is comprised principally of labor expenses of $5,390,900, vehicle

segment – Direct expenses of this segment were $1,246,100. The material cost was
$873,200 or 36.4% of the AC Technical revenue for the three months ended
September 30, 2009 compared to $626,200 or 30.6% of revenues in the
corresponding period of fiscal 2008. The increase in percentage of material
costs was attributable to some contracts having more material needs. On the
other hand, the labor and subcontractor cost decreased to $347,000 or 14.4% of
AC Technical revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to
$428,900 or 20.9% of AC Technical revenues for the same period of fiscal
2008. The decrease in labor and subcontractor cost was mainly due to
a decline in revenue.

cost was decreased to $229,520 or 2.0% of revenue for the three months ended
September 30, 2009, compared to $269,300 or 1.9% for the same period in 2008.
Most of the project cost was related to the AC Technical segment. The
balance mainly includes the salaries and benefits of indirect staff amounting to
$146,900 in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to $156,600 for the same
period of fiscal 2008. The decrease was mostly due to the decrease in
the number of indirect staff. Automobile and travel expenses decreased to
$55,800 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $78,500 for
the same period of fiscal 2008. There was no material fluctuation in the

salesperson headcount. The advertising and promotion and trade show
expenses were $17,600 in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared to $23,600
for the same period of fiscal 2008 with no material fluctuation.

revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to $2,745,500 or 19.6%

decrease in general and administration expenses primarily reflected a focused
cost reduction program across the Company. The higher amount in 2008 was
attributable to additional staff hired for the expansion of new business
development in the United States.

on of its business by XL Digital for the twelve month period after the
completion of the acquisition times 2.5. The consideration was to be paid in
notes, warrants to acquire stock of the Company and cash (including the $300,000
described above), with the total balance due on January 5,
2009. Based on the Company’s subsequent purchase price calculation,
the Company disagrees with the Seller regarding the calculation of the purchase
price, including the $300,000 cash already paid and the Company is in the
process of negotiating with the seller.
Net Cash Provided From
Financing Activities
. Net cash used in financing activities
was $1,029,200 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to net cash
provided of $2,376,200 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The current
year’s balance mainly represents the repayment of capital leases, bank
indebtedness and term notes. Last year’s balance represents net
proceeds received from new banking facilities set up with a Canadian financial
institution in the amount of $2,267,300 and the Company’s issuance of a term
note to LV Administrative Services, Inc. in the amount of $2,500,000 with total
financing cost of $167,380. The net proceeds from this term note were
$2,332,620. The balance was offset with the repayment of term notes
and capital leases in the amount of $2,225,500.
Our
capital requirements have grown since our inception with the growth of our
operations and staffing. We expect our capital requirements to continue to
increase in the future as we seek to expand our operations. On September 30,
2004, we obtained funding through a series of agreements with
Laurus. In 2006, through our wholly owned subsidiary, we acquired all
of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock and any other equity
interests of Cancable. Simultaneously, Cancable entered into a series
of agreements with Laurus whereby Cancable issued to Laurus a secured term note
(the “Cancable Note”) in the amount of $6,865,000. We completed a
refinancing transaction with Laurus in February 2006; we issued to Laurus a
secured term note (the “Company Note”) in the amount of $8,250,000 and Iview DSI
issued to Laurus a secured term note (the “Iview Note”) in the amount of
$2,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of this refinancing transaction, we
paid off the entire outstanding principal amount and all obligations due to
Laurus under the Secured Convertible Term Note dated September 30, 2004, the
Secured Convertible Minimum Borrowing Note dated September 30, 2004 and the
Secured Revolving Note dated September 30, 2004 (collectively, the “2004 Notes”)
and such 2004 Notes were subsequently cancelled.
In September 2008, the
Company and its subsidiary,
Cancable Inc., entered
into a financing transaction whereby the Company issued to Valens Offshore SPV
II, Corp. (“Valens Offshore”) and Valens U.S. SPV I, LLC (“Valens U.S.”) secured
term notes in the amount of $1,700,000 and $800,000, respectively
(collectively, the “Company Second Notes”). Valens Offshore and Valens U.S. are
entities related to Laurus. The Company also issued to Valens Offshore and
Valens U.S. warrants to purchase up to 1,333,333 and 627,451 shares of common
stock, respectively, of the Company with an exercise price of $0.01 per share.
The loans are secured by all of the assets of the Company and all its
subsidiaries.
Over the
next twelve months we believe that our existing capital will be sufficient to
sustain our operations. Management plans to seek additional capital in the
future to fund operations, growth and expansion through additional equity, debt
financing or credit facilities. We have had early stage discussions with
investors about potential investment in our firm at a future date. No assurance
can be made that such financing would be available, and if available it may take
either the form of debt or equity. In either case, the financing could have a
negative impact on our financial condition and our shareholders.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting
Standards Codification - In June, 2009, FASB established the FASB
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) as the single source of authoritative
GAAP. The ASC is a new structure which took existing accounting
pronouncements and organized them by accounting topic. Relevant authoritative
literature issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and select
SEC staff interpretations and administrative literature was also included in the
ASC. All other accounting guidance not included in the ASC is non-authoritative.
The ASC is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after
September 15, 2009. The adoption of the ASC did not have an impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
Subsequent
Events - In May, 2009, the ASC guidance for subsequent events was updated
to establish accounting and reporting standards for events that occur after the
balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available
to be issued. The update sets forth: (i) the period after the balance sheet
date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or
transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the
financial statements, (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should
recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet in its
financial statements, and (iii) the disclosures that an entity should make
about events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its
financial statements. The new guidance requires the disclosure of the date
through which subsequent events have been evaluated. The Company adopted the
updated guidance in 2009. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
Fair
Value Accounting - In August 2009, the ASC guidance for fair value
measurements and disclosure was updated to further define fair value of
liabilities. This update provides clarification for circumstances in which:
(i) a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not
available, (ii) the liability has a restriction that prevents its transfer, and
(iii) the identical liability is traded as an asset in an active market in
which no adjustments to the quoted price of an asset are required. The updated
guidance is effective for the Company’s interim reporting period beginning
October 1, 2009. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of adopting
this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of
operations and cash flows.
Variable
Interest Entities - In June 2009, the ASC guidance for consolidation
accounting was updated to require an entity to perform a qualitative analysis to
determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest gives it a controlling
financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”). This analysis
identifies a primary beneficiary of a VIE as the entity that has both of the
following characteristics: (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE
that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and
(ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the entity
that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The updated guidance also
requires ongoing reassessments of the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The updated
guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1,
2010. The Company currently is evaluating the potential impact of adopting this
guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations
and cash flows.
There
were no other accounting standards and interpretations recently issued which are
expected to a have a material impact on the Company's financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.

DISCUSSION
OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Critical
accounting estimates are those that management deems to be most important to the
portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and that require
management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, due to the need to
make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. We
have identified six critical accounting estimates: accounts receivable
allowances, goodwill, revenue, inventory, accounting for income taxes and
financial instruments. See our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008
for a discussion of our critical accounting estimates.
CAUTIONARY
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
quarterly report contains forward-looking statements about our company that are
not historical facts but, rather, are statements about future expectations. When
used in this document, the words “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,”
“intends,” “should” and similar expressions as they relate to us, or to our
management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. However,
forward-looking statements in this document are based on management’s current
views and assumptions and may be influenced by factors that could cause actual
results, performance or events to be materially different from those
projected. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous
risks and uncertainties. Important factors, some of which are beyond
our control, could cause actual results, performance or events to differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include
impact of general economic conditions in North America, changes in laws and
regulations, fluctuation in interest rates and access to capital
markets.
Our
actual results or performance could differ materially from those expressed in,
or implied by, these forward-looking statements and, accordingly, we cannot
predict whether any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking statements
will transpire or occur, or if any of them do, what impact they will have on our
results of operations and financial condition.
For
further information about these and other risks, uncertainties and factors,
please review the disclosure included in our December 31, 2008 Annual Report on
Form 10-K under the caption “Risk Factors.”
You
should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except as
otherwise required by federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to
publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or risk factors,
whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or
any other reason after the date of this quarterly report.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and
Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures
that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and
forms of the SEC. This information is accumulated to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. As of September 30, 2009,
the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
assessed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such
terms are defined under rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this assessment, our
management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective
as of the end period covered by this annual report.
Management’s
assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008
was included in Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2009.
Changes in Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting
There has not been any change in our
internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our fiscal
quarter ended September 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
