NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2009
(UNAUDITED)
1.
Business

M. Line Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on September 24, 1997, under the name Gourmet Gifts, Inc. (“Gourmet Gifts”). On December 11, 2001, Gourmet Gifts acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Elite Machine Tool Company (“Elite”). Immediately prior to the merger, the Company had 100,000,000 shares of stock authorized, of which 6,768,000 shares were outstanding. Pursuant to the merger, all of the outstanding shares of Elite, aggregating 21,262 shares, were exchanged for shares of common stock of Gourmet Gifts on a 1 to 1,274 basis or into 27,072,000 (net of 600,000 shares subsequently cancelled) shares of common stock leaving a total of 33,240,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding after the merger. Immediately after the merger, the officers and directors of Gourmet Gifts resigned and the executive officers and directors of Elite the company elected and appointed to such positions, thereby effecting a change of control.

Due to the change in voting control and change in senior management in Gourmet Gift as a result of the merger, the transaction was recorded as a “reverse-merger” whereby Elite was considered to be the acquirer for accounting purposes. At the closing of the reverse merger, Elite became a wholly-owned subsidiary and the company changed its corporate name to Gateway International Holdings, Inc., effective January 28, 2002. After the merger, through Elite, the Company became engaged in the acquisition, refurbishment, distribution and sales of pre-owned Computer Numerically Controlled (“CNC”) machine tools to manufacturing customers across the United States of America. This was the Company’s sole business until the acquisition of the additional businesses described below.

Gateway International Holdings, Inc. changed its corporate name to M Line Holdings, Inc. effective March 25, 2009.

The Company and its subsidiaries are engaged in the following businesses which represent is business segments:

 
Acquiring, refurbishing and selling new and used CNC machine-tool equipment (Machine Sales segment).
 
Manufacturing precision metal component parts for the defense, automotive, aerospace and medical industries through its Eran Engineering, Inc. (“Eran”) subsidiary (Precision Manufacturing segment).

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of M Line Holdings, Inc. are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the three month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. All accounts and intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes which are part of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009.

Net Income (Loss) per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution to basic EPS that could occur upon conversion or exercise of securities, options or other such items to common shares using the treasury stock method, based upon the weighted average fair value of our common shares during the period. There were no potentially dilutive securities as of September 30, 2009 and June 30, 2009, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”, which replaces FAS No. 141. SFAS No. 141(R) (ASC 805) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any controlling interest; recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is to be applied prospectively to business combinations. The company is evaluating this statement for the impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements, however, the Company will be required to expense cost related to any acquisition after June 30, 2009

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51” (ASC 810-10-65-1). This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest (minority interest) in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Upon its adoption, effective for us in the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009, noncontrolling interests will be classified as equity in the Company’s balance sheet and income and comprehensive income attributed to the noncontrolling interest will be included in the Company’s income and comprehensive income, respectively. The provisions of this standard must be applied prospectively upon adoption except for the presentation and disclosure requirements. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 160 to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of SFAS No. 133” (ASC 810-10-65-1). SFAS No. 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133 for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS No. 161 requires qualitative disclosure about objectives and strategies for using derivative and hedging instruments, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of the instruments and gains and losses on such instruments, as well as disclosures about credit-risk features in derivative agreements. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 
7

 

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (ASC 105). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (the GAAP hierarchy). SFAS will become effective 60 days following the Security and Exchange Commission’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 162 to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, "Subsequent Events" (“SFAS 165”) (ASC 855). SFAS 165 sets forth 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, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS 165 will be effective for interim or annual period ending after June 15, 2009 and will be applied prospectively. The Company will adopt the requirements of this pronouncement for the year ended June 30, 2009. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of SFAS 165 will have an impact on its consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position.

Line of Credit and Notes Payable

Pacific Western Bank Credit Agreement

On August 21, 2006, the Company entered into credit agreement with Pacific Western Bank (“PWB”). The credit agreement provides for borrowings of up to $1,500,000 through a line of credit which is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and personal guarantees by two of the executive officers, Joseph Gledhill and Larry Consalvi. On November 15, 2007, the credit agreement was amended to reduce the amount available under the line of credit to $1,000,000 and to convert $500,000 of outstanding principal into a term loan. On September 29, 2008, the credit agreement was renewed through September 21, 2009, and Timothy Consalvi replaced Larry Consalvi as a guarantor.

Pacific Western Bank has subsequently renewed the credit line through November 21, 2009. The Company is making arrangements to repay the line of credit to Pacific Western Bank.

The line of credit has a stated interest rate equal to the lender's referenced prime rate plus 1.5%, or 9.75% and 6.5% per annum at June 30, 2009 and September 30,  2009, respectively. Interest is payable monthly with the outstanding principal balance due on November, 2009. The amount available for borrowings is determined based on a monthly basis based on 80% of eligible accounts receivable, as defined. The Company also has an irrevocable letter of credit outstanding of $100,000. The proceeds are used for general working capital needs.

The term loan provides for borrowings of up to $500,000. The loan has a stated interest rate equal to the lender's referenced prime rate plus 1.5%, or 9.75% and 6.5% per annum at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Principal and interest payments are payable monthly.

Gateway International Holdings, Inc., Lawrence Consalvi, Timothy Consalvi and Joe Gledhill, Court of the State of California, County of Orange, Case No. 30-2008-00110905.  Plaintiffs filed this action on August 21, 2008.  A Dismissal with Prejudice was filed with the Court on or about April 24, 2009.

 
10

 

The Complaint, which had causes of action for securities fraud, breach of fiduciary duties, fraud and deceit, and rescission, alleged that the defendants intentionally misrepresented, or failed to disclose, certain facts regarding the company prior to the plaintiffs purchasing Gateway International Holdings, Inc. (now M Line Holdings, Inc.) common stock.  The Complaint sought total monetary damages of approximately $188,415, plus interest, and punitive damages.  We filed an Answer to the Complaint on October 17, 2008, denying the allegations of the Complaint, denying that plaintiffs are entitled to any relief whatsoever and asserting various affirmative defenses.  On January 22, 2009, the parties signed a Settlement Agreement, whereby a party unrelated to the lawsuit, Money Line Capital, Inc., our largest shareholder, agreed to purchase the plaintiffs’ shares of our common stock for the purchase price, or $289,000.  This settlement closed on April 22, 2009.  Of the $289,000 settlement money, $189,000 was paid to plaintiffs and we received $100,000 in exchange for the cancellation of a promissory note for $100,000 owed to us by one of the plaintiffs.  Per the settlement agreement, a Dismissal with Prejudice was filed by the plaintiffs with the Court on or about April 24, 2009, for the purpose of dismissing this lawsuit.

2.           Voicu Belteu v. Mori Seiki Co., Ltd.; Mori Seiki U.S.A., Inc.; All American CNC Sales, Inc. dba Elite Machine Tool Company; Ellison Manufacturing Tech., Superior Court for the State of California, County of Orange, Case No. 30-2008-00103710. Plaintiff filed this action on March 7, 2008.

The Complaint, which has causes of action for strict products liability and negligence, alleges that a CNC machine manufactured by Mori Seiki and sold through our subsidiary, All American CNC Sales, Inc. dba Elite Machine Tool Company, was defective and injured the plaintiff.  The Complaint seeks damages in excess of $6,300,000 for medical expenses, future medical expenses, lost wages, future lost wages and general damages.  All American CNC Sales filed its Answer and Cross-complaint on July 1, 2008 against several individuals and entities involved in the machine purchase and sales transaction, seeking indemnity and contribution.

Plaintiff and All American CNC Sales have both responded to discovery requests and are engaged in  the meet and confer process to resolve outstanding discovery issues.  Several depositions have been taken and we anticipate more going forward.  The Court has set a trial date for March 22, 2010.  Management believes we have meritorious defenses to plaintiff’s claims and plan to vigorously defend against the lawsuit and pursue Mori Seiki, and possibly other entities or individuals, for any damages we incur.  However, there can be no assurance as to the outcome of the lawsuit.  No provision has been made in our financial statements as we believe that the responsibility for liability, if any, is with the manufacturer.

3.           James M. Cassidy v. Gateway International Holdings, Inc., American Arbitration Association, Case No. 73-194-32755-08.  We were served with a Demand for Arbitration and Statement of Claim, which was filed on September 16, 2008. 

The Statement of Claim alleges that claimant is an attorney who performed services for us pursuant to an agreement dated April 2, 2007 between us and the claimant.  The Statement of Claim alleges that we breached the agreement and seeks compensatory damages in the amount of $195,000 plus interest, attorneys’ fees and costs.  We deny the allegations of the Statement of Claim and will vigorously defend against these allegations.  An arbitrator has not yet been selected, and a trial date has not yet been scheduled. 

The company has a provision in the sum of $5,000.00 at September 30, 2009. No further provision is necessary as we feel that the litigation has no merit.

The Complaint does not specify the damages sought. However, the parties have reached a settlement in the principal sum of $40,000 to be documented in due course. Meanwhile a default was entered against the Company, which management believes was in error because a settlement was already reached by the principal parties involved.

Management intends to finalize the settlement and dispose of the claim in due course.

We are considering settling  this case at this time. Therefore, no provision has been made in the financial statement for this sum as of September 30, 2009.

Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could occur.  If an unfavorable ruling were to occur in any of the above matters, there could be a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

ITEM 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q of M Line Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as Gateway International Holdings, Inc., and referred to herein as “MLH”, “we,” “us” or “Company”) for the three months ended September 30, 2009, contains forward-looking statements, principally in this Section and “Business.” Generally, you can identify these statements because they use words like “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” and similar terms. These statements reflect only our current expectations. Although we do not make forward-looking statements unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy and actual results may differ materially from those we anticipated due to a number of uncertainties, many of which are unforeseen, including, among others, the risks we face as described in this filing. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which apply only as of the date of this quarterly report. These forward-looking statements are within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. To the extent that such statements are not recitations of historical fact, such statements constitute forward-looking statements that, by definition, involve risks and uncertainties. In any forward-looking statement where we express an expectation or belief as to future results or events, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the statement of expectation of belief will be accomplished.

We believe it is important to communicate our expectations to our investors. There may be events in the future, however, that we are unable to predict accurately or over which we have no control. The risk factors listed in this filing, as well as any cautionary language in our annual report on Form 10-K, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated, include, but are not limited to: our ability to successfully develop new products; the ability to obtain financing for product development; changes in product strategies; general economic, financial and business conditions; changes in and compliance with governmental healthcare and other regulations; changes in tax laws; and the availability of key management and other personnel.

Overview

Our business comprises of two segments, our Machine Sales Group and our Precision Manufacturing Group.

Our Machine Sales Group is in the business of acquiring and selling computer numerically controlled (“CNC”) machines, and related tools, to manufacturing customers. We specialize in the purchase, refurbishment and sales of used CNC machines. We also serve as a manufacturer sales representative firm selling new CNC machines we purchase from third party manufacturers into certain geographic territories.

 
16

 

Our Precision Manufacturing Group is a manufacturer of precision components used in equipment and machinery in the commercial aviation, medical, aerospace and defense industries. Sales within this segment are highly concentrated within one customer, Panasonic Avionics Corporation (“Panasonic”). The loss of all or a substantial portion of sales to this customer would cause us to lose a substantial portion of our sales within this segment and on a consolidated basis, and have a corresponding negative impact on our operating profit margin due to operation leverage this customer provides. This could lead to sales volumes not being high enough to cover our current cost structure or provide adequate operating cash flows. Panasonic has been a customer of ours for approximately 15 years and we believe our relationship is good.

Trends Affecting Our Business

The recent tightening of the capital markets may hurt our ability to sell used CNC machines. Historically, as capital markets tighten, companies that purchase large machines on credit, such as CNC machines, have more difficulty in obtaining credit and, therefore, are unable to purchase machines that they may be able to purchase in better financial times. Any impact on our customers’ ability to purchase machines could negatively impact our business.

The primary components sold by our Precision Manufacturing segment during the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and, 2008, were parts sold to Panasonic, a leading provider of in-flight entertainment systems for commercial aircraft. The decline in economic activity has an adverse effect on our business. This has had an effect on Panasonic’s orders to us, and, therefore, there has been an adverse effect on our business. In addition, any further decrease may have an impact with the Machine Tools Group, as many of our customers that buy machines from us do business with airline manufacturers.

Critical Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made by management are, among others, realization of inventories, collectability of accounts receivable, litigation, impairment of goodwill, and long-lived assets other than goodwill. We regularly evaluate our estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. To the extent actual results differ from these estimates; our future results of operations may be affected.
 
Inventories

Within our Precision Manufacturing segment, we seek to purchase and maintain raw materials at sufficient levels to meet lead times based on forecasted demand. We generally manufacture parts based on purchase orders. Within our Machine Tools segment, we purchase machines held for resale based upon management’s judgment of current market conditions and demand for both new and used machines. If forecasted demand exceeds actual demand, we may need to provide an allowance for excess or obsolete quantities on hand. We also review our inventories for changes demand patterns and in the market prices of machines held in inventory and provide reserves as deemed necessary. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory reserves for CNC machines and parts may be required. We state our inventories at the lower of cost, using the first-in, first-out method on an average costs basis, or market.

      302,725       886,375       (583,650 )     -66 %

Sales

Sales in the fiscal 2009 period decreased 8% compared to the comparable period in fiscal 2008. The change is attributable to a decrease in sales  in the Precision Manufacturing  Group. Sales declined by 57% in the Precision Manufacturing Group.  Sales in the Machine Sales Group are not comparable to that of the prior period as all sales in the prior period were from a  discontinued subsidiary.

Gross Margin

Gross profit decreased by 66% compared to the comparable period in fiscal 2008. The gross profit for the Machine Sales Group is not comparable to that of the prior period as all gross profit for this period was from the discontinued subsidiary.  The decrease within the Precision Manufacturing Group resulted from lower customer demand for product in the 2009 period.
 
Selling, General & Administrative
 
Selling, general and administrative costs increased by $443,917 compared to the comparable period in fiscal 2008. The changes are due to increases in personnel costs and insurance. Personnel costs increased by approximately $97,000 or 32% primarily attributable to a higher head count, and insurance by approximately $26,000 or 23%, due to a cost increase during the fiscal 2009 period. In addition, the prior periods lower costs were attributable to a sum of $233,000 being contributed by the discontinued subsidiary.

 
18

 

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization expense for intangible assets remained the same of $10,445 compared to the comparable period in fiscal 2009.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by $20,062 compared to the comparable period in fiscal 2009. The change is attributable to lower average debt balances and decreases in the interest rates on our debt obligations.

Gain on Sale of Assets

During the fiscal 2009 period, there was no gain or loss as no assets were sold during the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our principal sources of liquidity consist of cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations and borrowing from various sources, including Pacific Western Bank. At September 30, 2009, our cash and cash equivalents and working capital decreased by $23,450 and $556,830, respectively to June 30, 2009 amounts.

The term loan provides for borrowings of up to $500,000. The loan bears interest at the lender's referenced prime rate plus 1.5% with principal and interest payments due monthly.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth our cash flows for the three months ended September 30:

    $ (23,450 )   $ 446,027     $ 469,477  

Operating Activities

Operating cash flows during the fiscal 2009 and 2008 fiscal periods reflect our results of operations, offset by net cash provided by operating assets and liabilities and non-cash items (depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation). During the 2009 period, non-cash expenses included in our net income and in operating activities totaled $111,429 compared to $134,871 in the 2008 period.

The increase in operating assets and liabilities for the 2009 and 2008 periods were $86,153 and $813,102, respectively. During the 2009 period, the increase was primarily attributable to collections of accounts receivable which resulted in a decrease of $69,774 from the June 30, 2009 balance.

 
19

 

The changes in operating assets for the 2008 period were primarily attributable a $573,431 reduction in accounts receivable. The reduction in accounts receivable was primarily attributable to a decline in sales in the 2008 period as a result of the relocation of our Precision Manufacturing facility.

Investing Activities

We made capital expenditures of $0 and $0 during the first three months of the fiscal 2009 and 2008 periods, respectively.

Financing Activities

During the first three months of the fiscal 2009 and 2008 periods, we repaid (net of borrowings) $106,416 and $195,676, respectively of outstanding debt and capital lease obligations. During the 2009 period, we repaid $0 on our line of credit in the 2009 period, as compared to $5,500 of net borrowings during the 2008 period.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3.             Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

As a smaller reporting company we are not required to provide the information required by this Item. However, we opted to include the following information.

The only financial instruments we hold are cash and cash equivalents. We also have a floating interest rate credit agreement with Pacific Western Bank. Changes in market interest rates will impact our interest costs.

We are currently billed by the majority of our vendors in U.S. dollars and we currently bill the majority of our customers in U.S. dollars. However, our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency rates or changes in economic conditions.

ITEM 4T.          Controls and Procedures.

(a)  Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, as of September 30, 2009, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission's rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of September 30, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses identified and described in Item 4T.

(b) Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and includes those policies and procedures that:

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and any disposition of our assets;
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2009. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, Management has identified the following two material weaknesses that have caused management to conclude that, as of September 30, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial reporting, were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:

1.            We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control.  Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible.  However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals.  Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

2.           We have not documented our internal controls.  We have limited policies and procedures that cover the recording and reporting of financial transactions.  Although providing this report in this Annual Report is optional for us at this time, written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  We will be required to provide written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting beginning with our fiscal year ending June 30, 2009.  Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

3.           Prior to Spring/Summer 2008, we did not have adequate internal controls, or policies and procedures, with respect to our travel and expense reports.  As a result, it was discovered that certain expense reimbursements were paid to our officers and directors even though complete expense reimbursement paperwork had not been submitted with adequate documentation surrounding the nature of the expense.  These expenses reimbursements were paid based on the incomplete paperwork.   To the extent these expenses could not subsequently be substantiated we requested reimbursement from that officer and director.

To address these material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Accordingly, we believe that the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

This Quarterly Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only our management’s report in this Quarterly Report.

(c) Remediation of Material Weaknesses
 
Being aware of these material weaknesses our management will be vigilant about ensuring they do not affect our reporting obligations and will seek to remedy these issues when it is financially feasible to do so.

(d) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter.

ITEM 1.                 Legal Proceedings.

 1.           Onofrio Saputo and Christopher Frisco v. Gateway International Holdings, Inc., Lawrence Consalvi, Timothy Consalvi and Joe Gledhill, Court of the State of California, County of Orange, Case No. 30-2008-00110905.  Plaintiffs filed this action on August 21, 2008.  A Dismissal with Prejudice was filed with the Court on or about April 24, 2009.

The Complaint, which had causes of action for securities fraud, breach of fiduciary duties, fraud and deceit, and rescission, alleged that the defendants intentionally misrepresented, or failed to disclose, certain facts regarding the company prior to the plaintiffs purchasing Gateway International Holdings, Inc. (now M Line Holdings, Inc.) common stock.  The Complaint sought total monetary damages of approximately $188,415, plus interest, and punitive damages.  We filed an Answer to the Complaint on October 17, 2008, denying the allegations of the Complaint, denying that plaintiffs are entitled to any relief whatsoever and asserting various affirmative defenses.  On January 22, 2009, the parties signed a Settlement Agreement, whereby a party unrelated to the lawsuit, Money Line Capital, Inc., our largest shareholder, agreed to purchase the plaintiffs’ shares of our common stock for the purchase price, or $289,000.  This settlement closed on April 22, 2009.  Of the $289,000 settlement money, $189,000 was paid to plaintiffs and we received $100,000 in exchange for the cancellation of a promissory note for $100,000 owed to us by one of the plaintiffs.  Per the settlement agreement, a Dismissal with Prejudice was filed by the plaintiffs with the Court on or about April 24, 2009, for the purpose of dismissing this lawsuit.

Plaintiff filed this action on March 7, 2008.

The Complaint, which has causes of action for strict products liability and negligence, alleges that a CNC machine manufactured by Mori Seiki and sold through our subsidiary, All American CNC Sales, Inc. dba Elite Machine Tool Company, was defective and injured the plaintiff.  The Complaint seeks damages in excess of $6,300,000 for medical expenses, future medical expenses, lost wages, future lost wages and general damages.  All American CNC Sales filed its Answer and Cross-complaint on July 1, 2008 against several individuals and entities involved in the machine purchase and sales transaction, seeking indemnity and contribution.

Plaintiff and All American CNC Sales have both responded to discovery requests and are engaged in  the meet and confer process to resolve outstanding discovery issues.  Several depositions have been taken and we anticipate more going forward.  The Court has set a trial date for March 22, 2010.  Management believes we have meritorious defenses to plaintiff’s claims and plan to vigorously defend against the lawsuit and pursue Mori Seiki, and possibly other entities or individuals, for any damages we incur.  However, there can be no assurance as to the outcome of the lawsuit.

3.          James M. Cassidy v. Gateway International Holdings, Inc., American Arbitration Association, Case No. 73-194-32755-08.  We were served with a Demand for Arbitration and Statement of Claim, which was filed on September 16, 2008. 

The Statement of Claim alleges that claimant is an attorney who performed services for us pursuant to an agreement dated April 2, 2007 between us and the claimant.  The Statement of Claim alleges that we breached the agreement and seeks compensatory damages in the amount of $195,000 plus interest, attorneys’ fees and costs.  We deny the allegations of the Statement of Claim and will vigorously defend against these allegations.  An arbitrator has not yet been selected, and a trial date has not yet been scheduled.

Meanwhile a default was entered against us, which management believes was in error because a settlement was already reached by the principal parties involved.

 
25

 

Management intends to finalize the settlement and dispose of the claim in due course.

Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could occur.  If an unfavorable ruling were to occur in any of the above matters, there could be a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Money Line Capital Letter of Intent

On June 30, 2009, we entered into a binding Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) with Money Line Capital, Inc., a California corporation (“MLCI”), and our largest shareholder.  Under the LOI the parties agreed to complete a transaction whereby all the MLCI shareholders will exchange their shares of MLCI stock for shares of our stock.  The parties agreed to negotiate in good faith to close the transaction on or before January 29, 2010.  The LOI is predicated on us being current in our reporting obligations under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and being publicly-traded at the time of the closing; and MLCI having its financial statements (and its subsidiaries, as applicable) audited for the period ended June 30, 2009, as well as completing a valuation by a qualified third-party company.

On November 5, 2009, we agreed with MLCI to amend the LOI to reset the anticipated closing date of the transaction from January 29, 2010 to April 30, 2010, as well as some other preliminary dates in the LOI.  We agreed to reset the anticipated closing date of the transaction in order to allow MLCI time to complete the audit of its financial statements, and certain of its subsidiaries, for the period ended June 30, 2009, as well the review of the financial statements for the interim quarters.
