and Basis of Presentation
New World Brands, Inc.
(
New
World Brands
,
the Company
,
NWB
,
we
,
us
or
our
) is a Delaware corporation
that is engaged in the telecommunications business through its three operating
divisions. One is NWB Networks, which includes TELES USA. This division is
focused on the telecommunications hardware business and delivers voice over
internet equipment, support, and solutions as the exclusive reseller of the
TELES AG line of products in North America. The other division is NWB Telecom,
which acts as a long distance wholesale termination provider. It primarily
offers international routes to domestic carriers for the termination of voice
over internet phone service. A third operating division was organized at the
end of the third quarter of 2009 and has been named NWB Retail. The Company
operates two legal entities in Mexico as subsidiaries.
Significant
Accounting Policies
Revenue
Recognition
NWB Networks
: Revenue is recognized when goods are shipped to or
picked up by the customer from our facilities. Services and support revenue is
recognized on a ratable basis over the service period as services and support
are provided to the customer. Sales of equipment and software requiring the
installation of equipment and or software are recognized when the customer has
accepted that the installation is completed and acknowledges such through a
formal process.
NWB Telecom
: Revenue is
recognized when services are rendered to the customer.
NWB Retail
: Revenue is
recognized when services are rendered to the customer.
Reserves
and Allowances
Bad Debt:
The Company maintains a reserve for bad debt based
on historical activity and economic conditions specific to each division. We
have increased our reserve when compared to the same period a year ago
primarily to account for increased risk of non-payment due to the currently
poor general economic conditions.
Disputes:
The Company maintains a reserve against invoices
booked on the NWB Telecom revenue for possible customer disputes on the bill
for telecommunications services that we provide our customers. We allow a 30
day period for customers to dispute our bill to them and the reserve we
maintain is based on historical rates of disputes that we have encountered per
30 day period. This amount is independent of any reserve that we maintain
associated with a reserve for bad debts.
Inventory:
We maintain a reserve for obsolescence of inventory
based on the nature of the equipment and our ability to upgrade it to current
status.

Consolidation :
New World Brands has added two foreign
subsidiaries in Mexico that are virtually wholly owned by the company. These subsidiaries commenced operations in
the month of July 2009 and maintain their books using US GAAP for
reporting and consolidation purposes of the companys quarterly and annual
reports. Intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidation.
The
unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with
instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include information or
notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of
operations, changes in stockholders equity and cash flows in conformity with
US GAAP. However, all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of
management, are necessary to make the consolidated financial statements not
misleading have been included. These interim condensed consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2009. The results of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the full year or any other interim period.
In
preparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP, management is
required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and income and expenses during the
reporting period.
Recently
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
ASU No. 2010-09,
Subsequent Events Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure
Requirements (ASU 2010-09)
ASU
2010-09 amends ASC Subtopic 855-10, Subsequent Events Overall (ASC 855-10)
and requires an SEC filer to evaluate subsequent events through the date that
the financial statements are issued but removed the requirement to disclose
this date in the notes to the entitys financial statements. The amendments are
effective upon issuance of the final update and accordingly, the Company has
adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-09 during the quarter ended March 31,
2010. The adoption of these provisions did not have a significant impact on the
Companys consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2009-16,
Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) - Accounting for Transfers of
Financial Assets. (ASU 2009-16)
ASU 2009-16
amends prior accounting guidance to enhance reporting about transfers of
financial assets, including securitizations, and where companies have
continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets.
ASU 2009-16 eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity
and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets.
ASU 2009-16 also requires additional disclosures about all continuing
involvements with transferred financial assets including information about
gains and losses resulting from transfers during the period. The provisions of
ASU 2009-16 became effective on January 1, 2010 and did not have a
significant impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2009-13,
Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (A
Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) (ASU 2009-13)
ASU
2009-13 requires the use of the relative selling price method when allocating
revenue in these types of arrangements. This method allows a vendor to use
its best estimate of selling price if neither vendor specific objective
evidence nor third party evidence of selling price exists when evaluating
multiple deliverable arrangements. This standard update is effective January 1,
2011 and may be adopted prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or
materially modified after the date of adoption or retrospectively for all
revenue arrangements for all periods presented. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact that this standard update will have on its consolidated financial
statements
ASU No. 2009-14,
Software (Topic 985) Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software
Elements (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) (ASU 2009-14)
ASU
2009-14 requires tangible products that contain software and non-software
elements that work together to deliver the products essential functionality to
be evaluated under the accounting standard regarding multiple deliverable
arrangements. This standard update is effective January 1, 2011 and may be
adopted prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially
modified after the date of adoption or retrospectively for all revenue
arrangements for all periods presented. The Company does not expect that
this standard update will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial
statements.

ASU No. 2009-17,
Consolidations (Topic 810) - Improvements to Financial Reporting by
Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities. (ASU 2009-17)
ASU 2009-17
amends prior guidance to change how a company determines when an entity that is
insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar
rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is
required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entitys
purpose and design and a companys ability to direct the activities of the
entity that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance.
ASU 2009-17 requires additional disclosures about the reporting entitys
involvement with variable-interest entities and any significant changes in risk
exposure due to that involvement as well as its affect on the entitys
financial statements. The provisions of ASU 2009-17 became effective on January 1,
2010 and did not have a significant impact on the Companys consolidated financial
statements.
ASU
2010-13, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Effect of
Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency
of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades. (ASU 2010-13)
ASU
2010-13 provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee
share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of
a market in which a substantial portion of the entitys equity securities
trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market,
performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such
an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in
ASU 2010-13 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those
fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010 and are not expected
to have a significant impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Financial Instruments and Fair Values
The fair value of a financial instrument represents
the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction
between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value
estimates are made at a specific point in time, based upon relevant market
information about the financial instrument.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents,
trade receivables and other assets approximates fair value due to the
short-term maturities of these instruments.
The fair values of all other financial instruments,
including debt, approximate their book values as the instruments are short-term
in nature or contain market rates of interest.

NOTE F INCOME TAXES
We account for
income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740,
Accounting
for Income Taxes,
which
requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future
tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated
financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax
rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to
reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce
deferred tax assets amounts expected to be
realized. U.S. income taxes are not provided on
undistributed earnings, which are expected to be permanently reinvested by the
foreign subsidiary, unless the earnings can be repatriated in a tax-free or cash-flow
neutral manner.
The Company
adopted the policy of recognizing interest and penalties, if any, related to
unrecognized tax positions as income tax expense. Tax years 2007-2009 remain
subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.
The attached
schedule provides an analysis of the material tax positions that NWB took on
its consolidated income tax provision for the quarter ended March 31
st
, 2010.

As
of March 31, 2010, the Company had U.S. net operating losses of approximately
$11.2 million that can be carried forward for up to twenty years and deducted
against future taxable income. The net
operating loss carryforwards expire in various years through 2030. The company also has a U.S. capital loss
carryforward of approximately $4.6 million that can be carried forward for five
years and deducted against future capital gain income. The capital loss carryforward expires in
2012.
As
of March 31, 2010, the Company also had Mexican net operating losses of
approximately $247,000 that can be carried forward for up to ten years and
deducted against future taxable income.
In
assessing the ability to realize a portion of the deferred tax assets,
management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or
all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax
assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the
periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal
of deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in making the
assessment. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of March 31,
2010 was $7.3 million. The increase in
the valuation allowance was approximately $1.4 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2010, primarily due to operational losses for the year.
NOTE G Aeropointe
Acquisition
In
connection with the terms of the agreement between New World Brands Inc and Aeropoint
Partners Inc., the company has issued shares to Aeropointe and to its former
principals. On Feb 25, 2010, shares in the amount of 8,821,791 were issued from
New World Brands common stock to Aeropointe Partners Inc. On March 22,
2010, 10,717,124 were issued to each of Steven Bell and Shawn Lane from New
World Brands common stock. These shares were offset against a liability that
was on the books of New World Brands as at December 31, 2009 in the amount
if 55,868 which has now been eliminated and offset to equity. Please find below the original note to the
financials statements regarding this acquisition in the third quarter of 2009.
The total purchase price was $301,820, of which consideration valued
at$55,868 is payable on January 15, 2010, in the form of 8,821,791 shares
of common stock. The net purchase price
amount of $245,952 was paid in the form of 38,836,583 shares of common stock
issued effective September 1, 2009.
The seller has agreed to contribute capital as consideration for
issuance of the common stock, in the amount of $100,000, which was paid in October 2009. The consideration has been reported as part
of accounts receivable. The company acquired intangible assets valued at
$38,405 at the date of acquisition, and satisfied accounts payable to the
seller of $163,416. The New World Brands
common stock issued to the seller was valued based upon the average price of
NWB stock for the ninety day period prior to the effective date of the
acquisition at a price of $0.006333 per share. The difference between the issue
price in the acquisition and the par value of the shares issued, $84,511, was
recorded as a reduction in additional paid in capital in the 3rd quarter 2009.
NOTE H COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Credit
Facility with Pacific Continental Bank
The
Company entered into an agreement for the use of various credit services with
Pacific Continental Bank in February 2007. The conditions of this
agreement require the deposit of $60,000 with the bank as security for the
services as of December 31, 2009. The deposit is in the companys money
market account with the bank and is reported on the balance sheet as part of
cash and cash equivalents.
Piecom
Tech Litigation
Effective July 1,
2007 we sold our subsidiary, IP Gear Ltd., to TELES (
TELES Agreement
). A
material aspect of the TELES Agreement included a commitment of the Company to
indemnify, hold harmless and defend TELES and IP Gear, Ltd. against any
liabilities arising from the Piecom Tech litigation (herein). As a part
of the consideration for such an obligation, the Company is entitled to the
proceeds, if any, of the Piecom Tech litigation.
IP Gear was named
as a defendant in a lawsuit styled Piecom Tech. Israel Ltd. v. IP Gear Ltd.,
Case No, 26-05166-07-5, in the Herzliyah, Israel Regional Court. Piecom Tech.
had been a vendor to IP Gear, Ltd and was contracted to provide outsourced
contract manufacturing services. There is currently a deposit held by Piecom of
$214,000 towards the production of equipment not yet delivered and an amount in
escrow of $32,000 pending resolution of this matter. Release of the escrow
funds of $32,000 depends upon the outcome of pending litigation between Piecom
and IP Gear, Ltd. Neither of these amounts is represented on the balance sheet
of the Company. On preliminary motions, argued in May of 2008, the Court
ruled in favor of IP Gear, Ltd. A mediation hearing occurred in August of
2008 but the matter was not resolved. The next mediation hearing was scheduled
for December, 2009 but the plaintiff did not appear. The matter has now been
referred back from the Mediator to the Court. At present, management does not
believe this matter poses any significant financial risk to the Company.
CRG
West
CRG West, a Los
Angeles-based company from which NWB had been leasing space for equipment, has
claimed $24,000.00 from NWB in allegedly overdue rent payments and holdover
fees. The claims were first made by email in May 2009, for a smaller
amount, and then progressed to a collection agency. NWB has retained an LA
based attorney, Gerard Casale, to defend its interests and argue what NWB
believes is a valid defense in this matter, which is currently in settlement
negotiations. CRG and their agency have not filed suit on this matter in a
court of law.

Additional
Disputes
In addition to the
matters discussed above, the Company is involved in various disputes that arise
in the ordinary course of business.
NOTE I
Liquidity
New
World Brands liquidity position has continued to worsen in the most recent
quarter. We have seen our net cash and total current assets reduce during the
first quarter of 2010 while our accounts payable and our total current
liabilities have grown. Our ratio of
current assets to current liabilities is slightly lower than it had been at the
end of 2009(0.73 vs 0.80). Our gross
profit for the current quarter is an improvement over the same quarter a year
ago and we have seen some of the benefits of our cost reduction program from
2009. However, the result is still reduced liquidity and available capital as
at March 31, 2010.
The
companys recurring costs of operating has declined to achieve cashflow breakeven
with a lower sales figure but we have not yet reached that level. We are also
working to complete the restructuring of a majority of our debt and current
liabilities to provide the timing for those payments to be more synchronous
with our expectation of cash inflows.
NOTE J SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
As
of May 21, short term loans to P & and SSB have not been called
by our lenders and remain outstanding.

The
following discussion and analysis provides information that management believes

consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein,
and with our prior filings with the Securities Exchange Commission (the

).
Disclosure
Regarding Forward-Looking Statements - Cautionary Statement
We caution readers that
this Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements,
written, oral or otherwise, are based on the Companys current expectations or
beliefs rather than historical facts concerning future events, and they are
indicated by words or phrases such as (but not limited to) anticipate, could,
may, might, potential, predict, should, estimate, expect, project,
believe, think, intend, plan, envision, continue, intend, target,
contemplate, budgeted, or will and similar words or phrases or comparable
terminology. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. The
Company cautions that these statements are further qualified by important
economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors that could cause
the Companys business, strategy, or actual results or events to differ materially,
or otherwise, from those in the forward-looking statements. We have based such
forward-looking statements on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates
and projections, and therefore there can be no assurance that any
forward-looking statement contained herein, or otherwise made by the Company,
will prove to be accurate. The Company assumes no obligation to update the
forward-looking statements.
The Company has been in
the telecom hardware and carrier business for over three years which is a
relatively limited operating history compared to others in the same business
and operates in a rapidly changing industry environment. Its ability to predict
results or the actual effects of future plans or strategies, based on
historical results or trends or otherwise, is inherently uncertain. While we
believe that these forward-looking statements are reasonable, they are merely
predictions or illustrations of potential outcomes, and they involve known and
unknown risks and uncertainties, many beyond our control, that are likely to
cause actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different
from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors
that could have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects
of the Company on a condensed basis include those factors discussed under Item
1A Risk Factors and Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Conditions and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed on April 15, 2010. These factors that could have a material adverse
effect on the Company include, but are not limited to, the following:
·
The continuation of the downturn in the
economy and therefore the market for, or supply of, our core products and
services, could reduce our revenue and gross profit margin by placing downward
pressure on prices and sales volume, and we may not accurately anticipate
changing supply and demand conditions;
·
We have a limited backlog, or pipeline,
of product and services orders, and we do not control the manufacturing of the
core products we distribute and sell, exposing our future revenues and profits
to fluctuations and risks of supply interruptions or rapid declines in demand;
·
We have recurring quarterly and annual
losses and continuing negative cash flow, which may continue, potentially
requiring us to either raise additional capital or reduce costs relative to
gross margins;
·
The company is dependent upon the sale of
technology equipment, the TALKBox
®
, to governmental agencies for some of
its revenue, and this source of revenue is subject to actions associated with
public policy decisions that lie outside of our control and ability to project
including certain factors such as the budgetary approval process and sudden
changes in governmental priorities;
·
We may not be able to raise necessary
additional capital, and may not be able to reduce costs sufficiently to reverse
our negative cash flow, absent additional capital;
·
If we are successful in raising
additional capital, it will likely dilute current shareholders ownership;
16
Table of Contents
·
We may not be able to effectively contain
corporate overhead and other costs, including the costs of operating a public
company, relative to our profits and cash; and
·
Changes in laws or regulations, or
regulatory practices, and the costs of complying with them, in the United
States and internationally, may increase our costs or may prohibit continued
operations or entry into some areas of business.
Overview
of Business
A detailed review of the
Companys business is provided in Item 1, Description of Business in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on April 15, 2009, which is
incorporated herein by reference.
In the third quarter of 2009 the Company completed the
setup of a Mexican business location, at Paseo de La Presa de la Olla,
Guanajuato, GTO, Mexico 36000, in order to better meet the challenges of
expanding business in Central and South America. To promote and expand its
Mexican business interests, the Company completed the certification and
organization of two fully-consolidated Mexican corporations, Wahid y Asociados,
SA de CV, and NWB Technologies de Mexico S de RL de CV, located at the above
Guanajuato address, which completed the process of getting licensed to do
business in Leon, Mexico effective July 7, 2009.
On October 5, 2009, New World Brands, Inc.
executed an asset purchase agreement, with an effective date of September 1,
2009, in which the Company agreed to acquire certain assets of Aeropointe
Partners Inc., a Texas Corporation. As part of the acquisition, the Company
agreed to integrate five of Aeropointes staff members including officers and
employees. Mr. R. Steven Bell, the CEO of Aeropointe, has been integrated
into the Company in the position of President and Mr. Shawn Lane, the
President of Aeropointe, has become the COO of the Company. For further
information on this asset purchase agreement, see the Companys Current Report
on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 9, 2009. Pursuant to that
asset purchase agreement, the company acquired Aeropointes rights to a
contract that New World Brands was the other party to, as well as the right to
assume the staff and the location of Aeropointe operations. The consideration
received by Aeropointe was 47,658,374 shares of New World Brands common stock,
valued for that transaction at $0.006333 per share. Of those 47,658,374
shares, 38,836,584 were issued effective September 1, 2009, and 8,821,791
were issued during the first quarter of 2010, on March 22, 2010.
On March 22,
2010, the Company issued 648,385 employee stock warrants which the Board had
authorized in July of 2009.
On March 22,
2010, the Company also issued 21,434,248 shares: 10,717,124 each to R. Steven
Bell and Shawn K. Lane, pursuant to information regarding the terms of the
Aeropointe agreement. Subsequent information showed the issuance to have been
in error, and the shares were not distributed to those shareholders and are
being returned to the transfer agent to be cancelled.
In the first quarter of 2010, the Company also began
transitioning its headquarters from Eugene, Oregon to a new location, in
McKinney, Texas.
The
Mexican subsidiaries
and Aeropointe acquisition are being reported as part of NWBs carrier
division, NWB Telecom. The Mexican subsidiaries include a network operations
center for our carrier division, and facilitate communication with NWBs
Spanish-speaking carrier customers.
During
the first quarter of 2010, New World Brands refined its processes of operations
for the retail division. The platform for services and the terminating routes
were finalized and tested. We also modified the services being done in Mexico
and moved additional technical activities there. The company also made the
decision to reduce the emphasis on US technology development and determined
that it could be better delivered by other means such as shifting activities to
Mexico as stated and working with partners. In the respect, new world brands
upgraded and improved the durability of its TALKBox
®
product using
the services of Raytheon Corp. The company built and delivered its first
production TALKBox
®
during this quarter to a county government in
the state of Mississippi. We are continuing to pursue further sales in the
state as part of the first step in marketing the emergency communications
product.

While the revenue numbers
for the Company overall have largely recovered from recession, gross profit has
not. This is largely due to the sales of telephony equipment at a lower margin
to retain competitiveness and to the negative gross profit of the NWB Retail
division, which is currently establishing itself in the retail international
telephony market.
The discussion below of
gross profit on a per-business line or divisional basis provides additional
information regarding each lines performance.
NWB
Networks division revenue and gross profit
.
NWB Networks, our VoIP
and other telephony product distribution and resale business, focuses on the
distribution, resale and support of TELES products, and, on a more limited
basis, continues to act as a niche reseller of certain additional manufacturers

Our relationship with TELES AG, including our
geographic exclusivity, has provided an opportunity for the Company to sell
these products at an attractive margin and to build a support and service
network for end-users and VARs. As our relationship with TELES has matured,
other advantageous developments have included greater input by NWB into TELES
product development. The Company, while maintaining its own geographic
exclusivity for the distribution of TELES equipment, may sell TELES equipment
anywhere in the world without restriction. We see the opportunity to sell TELES
equipment in other segments and markets being reflected in the much improved
results for the first quarter of 2010.
The Company has been
selling TELES equipment as an exclusive distributor since July, 2007, with the
TELES line having grown to become our dominant hardware product line. The table
below shows the portion of NWB Networks divisional revenue, gross profit and
gross profit margin attributable to sales of TELES products, in comparison to sales
of all other products in the NWB Networks division, during the years of 2010,
2009 and 2008 on a quarterly and
year-end basis.
The method of accounting
for shipping in the cost of goods sold (
COGS
) for
the NWB Networks division changed in Fiscal Year 2009. Previously, TELES and
non-TELES sales were accounted for as separate divisions within the company,
with all costs for NWB Networks specifically allocated to one product line or
the other. The two product lines of the NWB Networks division have been
combined for accounting purposes, with all costs, including the shipping costs,
a part of COGS, accounted for in aggregate. For all 2010 and 2009 numbers in
the tables below, the shipping cost portion of COGS is divided between TELES
and non-TELES

products proportionately
to the revenue derived from each product line. The values for 2008 are
accounted using the method in use at that time, with shipping costs allocated
specifically to the cost of goods sold for either TELES or non-TELES products.

The majority of our TELES
equipment sales during the first quarter of 2010 have been of TELESs mobile
fixed wireless application gateways, marketed under the iGate and vGate brands.
TELES mobile gateways provide a consolidated mobile, public switched telephone
network (PSTN) and VoIP gateway solution to carriers and corporate network
customers seeking to connect their private branch exchange (PBX) to mobile and VoIP
services, and can be added to integrated services digital network (ISDN) and
internet protocol (IP) environments for least cost routing and other advanced
call routing and rerouting applications. Demand for the iGate and vGate brands
did slow along with the demand for TELES equipment in general in the last two
quarters of 2008 and first two quarters of 2009 due in part to the broad
decline in economic conditions, but has substantially recovered by the first
quarter of 2010, when sales for this equipment were more than double what they
were in the first quarter of 2009.
All products purchased
from TELES AG are per contract quoted in the base currency used by TELES, the
Euro. New World Brands sells all goods to its customers in U.S. Dollars. As a
result, we have a certain exposure to currency risk to the extent the relative
value of the U.S. Dollar drops compared to the Euro. Increases in our exposure
to currency risk due to the growth of our Euro-denominated inventory has been
partially offset by payment agreements between NWB and TELES designed to
mitigate risk. However, the dollar has gained value against the Euro during the
first quarter of 2010, with the exchange rate shifting from $1.43 Dollars to
the Euro as of December 31, 2009 to $1.35 Dollars to the Euro as of March 31,
2010.
We derive a significant amount of our revenue from a
relatively small number of customers. If we were to lose one or more of these
customers, and the business were not replaced, it could have an adverse impact
on our results of operations and financial condition. Each of three customers
accounted for 10% or more revenues for NWB Networks, of which one of those
customers accounted for at least 10% the revenue for the Company as a whole
during the three month period ending March 31, 2010, as outlined in the
table below.

NWB
Telecoms business model includes a portion of cost that is fixed cost and a
portion of cost that is variable with the amount of traffic we terminate. When
we are able to terminate a large volume of traffic, the increase in gross
margin results from the portion of cost that is fixed regardless of volume, and
we benefit as in the third quarter of 2008. When the volume drops, the variable
profit declines but the fixed costs remain and we suffer a significant
reduction in gross profit, as is seen in the last quarter of 2008 and the first
two quarters of 2009. The NWB Telecom division has been lowering its fixed
costs during the first quarter of 2010 and has maintained profitability for its
third consecutive quarter.
The
Company faces challenges in successfully establishing international routes.
These include technical difficulties with the sophistication of the solution we
intend to implement, the increased reliance on a limited number of vendors and
customers, and a decrease in revenue and gross margin following a period of
substantial time and investment dedicated to new routes. Management is
addressing these issues by reselling more routes developed by other
telecommunications firms alongside those routes that we develop ourselves and
through a concerted effort to broaden our customer base.
During the first quarter
of 2010, NWB Telecom had two significant vendors each accounting for over 10%
of total vendor expenses for the Company. There were no vendors accounting for
more than 10% of the division but not for the Company as a whole. The following
table illustrates, for the first quarter of 2010, the revenue generated by the
resale of minutes purchased from these significant vendors, as well as the
related gross profit, in comparison to the associated revenue and gross profits
of all other NWB Telecom vendors, and all other Company vendors as a whole,
during the period.

We do
not rely upon or maintain any long term supply or termination service
contracts, and all of our vendor agreements are terminable at will by either
party without notice. In addition, our suppliers rely upon short term contracts
or arrangements with other local service providers, including tier 1 service
providers, to supply termination routes; these contracts or arrangements may
also be terminated upon short notice. Therefore, our VoIP service business is
subject to supply disruptions that are not within our control and that could
have a material adverse effect upon the NWB Telecom divisions financial
results.
In addition,
critical issues concerning the commercial use of the Internet, including
security, cost, ease of use and access, intellectual property ownership, and
other legal liability issues, remain unresolved and could materially and
adversely affect both the growth of Internet usage generally and our business
in particular. Finally, we will not be able to increase our VoIP service
traffic if Internet infrastructure does not continue to expand to more
locations worldwide, particularly into emerging markets and developing nations.
The risk of negative impact on our gross profit due to supply interruptions is
increased by our recent reliance on a small number of vendors offering
relatively high-margin VoIP termination services in foreign countries.
These vendors are under
no enforceable obligation to sell us service of any kind, and we are under no
obligation to buy, other than on a daily or weekly basis. Furthermore, we can
have no assurance that these vendors will continue to be able to offer services
for sale at the gross margins currently earned. Loss of a significant vendor,
or of the high-margin services we currently purchase, would result in an
attendant loss of associated gross profits, without a corresponding immediate
decrease in related sales, general and administrative costs, thereby negatively
impacting our overall profitability in the near term.
From time to time we
prepay certain vendors for a portion of future services. In the event
that our vendor is unable to supply the termination services for which we have
prepaid, we are unlikely to be able to recover all, if any, of such
prepayments. As we receive the termination services for which we have
prepaid, of if we lose the ability to receive those services, we apply our
related prepaid expenses to the cost of goods sold for the NWB Telecom
division, thereby directly impacting our gross profits for the division.
We derive a significant
amount of our revenue from a relatively small number of customers. If we were
to lose one or more of these customers, and the business were not replaced, it
could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial
condition. Each of four customers accounted for 10% or more revenues for NWB
Telecom, of which two of those customers each accounted for at least 10% the
revenue for the Company as a whole during the three month period ending March 31,
2010, as outlined in the table below.

Furthermore, our top ten
customers accounted for the vast majority of NWB Telecom revenues during the
three month period ending March 31, 2010. Although we continue to do
business with these clients, and have no reason to believe we will cease doing
business with any of them in the foreseeable future, the loss of any large
client could adversely impact our results of operations if the revenue stream
were not replaced by other sales.
These customers are under
no enforceable obligation to continue to purchase services from us in any
particular quality or quantity, and we are under no obligation to sell, other
than on a daily or weekly basis. The market for the type of service we provide
to these customers is extremely price-competitive, and we can have no assurance
that if we are able to continue to provide services to these customers, we will
continue to earn our current level of gross profits. Loss of these significant
customers would result in an attendant loss of associated gross profits,
without a corresponding immediate decrease in related sales, general, and
administrative costs, therefore negatively impacting our overall profitability
in the near term.
NWB
Retail division revenue, gross profit and gross profit margin
.
The NWB Retail division
became active in the international long distance telephone card market in the
fourth quarter of 2009. An initial project was unable to generate returns to
offset the costs of starting it up. Management believes that it has identified
all issues preventing this project from being economically feasible. Several
new telephone cards have been launched and are operating successfully as of the
date of this filing. The purpose of the calling cards is to provide our own captive
retail traffic from consumers that we could supply to our NWB Telecom division
in order to maintain a portion of its revenue coming from a stable and reliable
source.

During the first quarter
of 2010, NWB Retail had nine customers comprising all sales. Six of these
customers were part of a single operation purchasing three quarters of all
traffic sold as measured by revenue. One other customer was responsible for
18.63% of NWB Retails revenues generated. None of these customers accounted
for more than 10% of Company revenue for the period.
One NWB Retail vendor was
responsible for 16.02% of all expenses for the Company and nearly all of the
expenses for the division. The resale of minutes from this vendor accounted for
all revenue generated by the NWB Retail division in the first quarter of
2010. Management has addressed the
reliance on a single vendor by bringing traffic in house to the NWB Telecom
division. In recognition of the potential challenges to the profitability of
the division if one or more NWB Retail customers were unable or unwilling to
continue a business relationship with the Company, an emphasis is being placed
on diversifying our customer base.
Summary:
company-wide and divisional revenue, gross profit and gross profit margin, on a
quarterly and year-end basis, for 2008 year to date
.
The following tables
duplicate information presented elsewhere in this Item 2, but we believe that
the following presentation of that information in a summary format may be
helpful to shareholders and potential investors. Reference is made to similar
tables showing quarterly and year end results of operations for the year ending
December 31, 2009, in the Companys Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15,
2010, under Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Conditions and Results of Operations. The following presentation is not
intended to substitute for any other portion of this Item 2.

The substantial decrease
in total expenses for the comparative three month periods is due primarily to
decreases in bad debt write-offs, trade show and travel, legal and litigation,
payroll, and accounting services.
Total company expenses here
remained static over the last two quarters but normal recurring expenses such
as payroll have declined while one time items such as legal are up.
Interest
.
The fluctuations in
interest paid in 2008 were a function of changes in interest rates and
principal owed during the year. The reduction in interest paid in the first two
quarters of 2009 is the result of a lowering of the interest rate. Due to an
increase in interest rates, the amount of interest paid increased from the
third quarter of 2009 through the first quarter of 2010.

Depreciation
and amortization.
Amortization and
depreciation for the Company increased in the first three quarters of 2009
reflecting increased capital investment during prior periods in switching,
routing, and tracking equipment and technology utilized by our NWB Telecom VoIP
service business. Our U.S.-based operations have since invested a very limited
amount in software technology, and as a result, our current amortization is
negligible and not expected to increase in the near term.

Net
loss.
The above factors
contributed to a net loss for the Company for the three month period ended
March 31, 2010. The key factors in the amount of our losses in 2009 and
the first quarter of 2010 can be attributed to a great degree to a significant
loss of revenue over the prior period coupled with a reduction in gross margin
on the revenue that was earned. While we made good progress in reducing our
costs of running the business, it was not enough to reduce the net loss for
this quarter. We have additional expenses related to the moving of our offices
to Texas and some one-time reorganization costs.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
New World Brands liquidity
position has continued to worsen in the most recent quarter. We have seen our
net cash and total current assets reduce during the first quarter of 2010 while
our accounts payable and our total current liabilities have grown. Our ratio of current assets to current
liabilities is slightly lower than it had been at the end of 2009(0.73 vs
0.80).
It has eroded our cash position to its lowest levels
in three years and decreased our ratio of current assets to current liabilities
to the point where we have more current debt than we have current assets. Both
of these are important measures of our continue operations. The table below
illustrates the changing position of cash, current assets and our liquidity
ratios.

We are certainly aware of the need to have sufficient
cash to meet our short term obligations and our operating expenses.
The company had embarked
on a cost reduction program to cut selling, general and administrative
(SG&A) expenses. The intent has been to reduce the breakeven gross margin
requirements and by extension a reduced level of sales to cover all expenses of
the company and still be profitable. Our revenue results are improved over the
same quarter a year ago but have not yet reached the level necessary to reach
breakeven on cash flow basis or profitable. While we have had success in
eliminating a number of SG &A costs and our recurring operating
expenses are lower in the current quarter than they have been in the past, the
total SG& A is up due to some one-time costs associated with moving our
head offices and legal fees related to specific transactions.
We are also working to
complete the restructuring of a majority of our debt and current liabilities to
provide the timing for those payments to be more synchronous with our
expectation of cash inflows.

expenditures.
In the first quarter of 2010, we have continued to add
only at a nominal rate to our existing infrastructure, similar to the fourth
quarter of 2009. The Companys operating assets are currently adequate for our
existing volumes and projected growth.
The switching equipment will allow us to terminate
more long distance calls at a lower rate per call. We are working integrally
with TELES AG to use this as an opportunity to improve the performance of the
TELES equipment that the NWB Networks division stocks and sells. This area is
one where the synergy of our divisions is evident in the needs of one area
benefitting the product in the other.
New World Brands has maintained this investment in telecom infrastructure as we
feel that the results will allow us to be ableto grow faster as the economy
recovers from the most recent recession and we will able to do at a lower cost
than a year ago.
