may have insufficient capital to acquire additional
businesses;

Many of
these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict, and readers are

statements. We disclaim any obligation to update or revise publicly
or otherwise any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events, new
information or future circumstances, except as required by law.
Market
& Research Corp. is currently a dormant company with no revenues or
operations. It has signed acquisition agreements with three operating
companies and as of this filing has conditionally raised $340,000 to fund the
acquisition of one of those companies subsequent to year end. The
borrowing agreement is unsecured and has a term of two years at
14%. In addition, the borrowers issued 1,700,000 shares of common
stock valued at $.20 per share. There is no certainty that the
acquisitions will be completed.
History
The
Company, which was incorporated November 10, 1994, was a manufacturer, designer,
importer and wholesaler of men's shoes. In 1999, the Company ceased
all operations and has remained in a dormant state since such
date. The Company has identified certain companies/investments and is
in the process of securing funds to acquire those companies/investments and
commence operations. There is no guarantee that the Company will
secure the necessary financing to operate or to acquire assets.
On
October 17, 2005, a majority of shareholders passed a resolution to increase the
number of authorized common shares to 250,000,000. On January 30,
2006 the holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock of the Company
passed a resolution to increase the number of authorized common shares from
250,000,000 to 1,500,000,000. The purpose of these resolutions was to
create a sufficient number of shares
of common stock to allow the Company to settle its last remaining liability and
to commence operations.

On March
28, 2006 the Company acquired all the stock of LifeHealthCare, Inc. (LHC) a
Delaware corporation by issuing 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock. LHC’s value was set at $1,200,000 based on the market value of
the Company’s shares issued. LHC focused on the dental and healthcare
marketplace. LHC had no revenue and required a significant amount of
financing in order to commence operations. The Company does not have
access to the necessary financing at this time. If financing is not
obtained, LHC will not be able to commence operations. There was no
certainty that even with financing, LHC would be able to commence operations or
obtain profitable status. Management primarily focused its attention
on the reorganization of Market & Research Corp. in order to prepare the
Company for capital raising activities.
On
December 18, 2007 the Company filed a Schedule 14 (C) with the Security and
Exchange Commission announcing the approval by a majority of shareholders of the
following:
A reverse Stock split of
150:1. As a result of the reverse split, the number of authorized and
issued shares of common stock will be reduced to 9,991,072 from
1,498,612,518.
A reduction of the authorized number of
common stock from 1,500,000,000 to 150,000,000.
An amendment to change the name of the
Company from Cable & Co. Worldwide, Inc. to Market & Research
Corp.
Each of
these steps have been approved by the board of directors and became effective
April 21, 2008, and all have been reflected in the financial statements and this
document.
On
September 12, 2008, the Company distributed all the stock of LHC in the form of
a dividend to the shareholders of the Company. As a result of the
dividend, LHC was no longer a subsidiary of the Company and became a separate
reporting company.
Recent
Transactions
The
Company has entered into three definitive Purchase Agreements each of which is
in full force and effect. On November 12, 2007, the Company entered into a Stock
Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”)
with Andrew Perlmutter and David Weiss (collectively, the “Shareholders”).
The
consummation of the stock purchase pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the
“Stock
Purchase”) is subject to certain conditions set forth in the Purchase
Agreement, including the continued accuracy of the representations and
warranties made by all parties thereto and the parties’ continuing due diligence
review. Upon the closing of the Stock Purchase, the Company will
purchase, and the Shareholders will sell, all of the shares (the “Shares”) of
InMarketing Corp., a New Jersey corporation (“InMarketing”), to the
Company. InMarketing is in the business of designing proprietary

percent (50%) of the purchase price will be paid upon the closing of the Stock
Purchase, and the remaining fifty percent (50%) will be paid to the Shareholders
pursuant to certain promissory notes issued by the Company. Upon the
closing of the Stock Purchase, the Shares will be held in escrow, until the
purchase price has been paid in full.

As of
November 5, 2007, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the
“Aspen Purchase
Agreement”) with Frank H. Schaller, Robert E. Hall, Paul K.
Cowhig III, Matthew A. Lambert, and Sherrie L. Smith (collectively, the “Aspen
Shareholders”). Although the agreement to purchase Aspen
expired on February 1, 2008, a majority of the Aspen Shareholders have agreed to
remain bound to the same terms to be purchased with no specified termination
date.
The stock
purchase pursuant to the former Aspen Purchase Agreement (the “Aspen Stock Purchase”
was subject to certain conditions set forth in the Aspen Purchase Agreement,
including the continued accuracy of the representations and warranties made by
all parties thereto and the parties’ continuing due diligence
review. Upon the closing of the Aspen Stock Purchase, the Company had
agreed to purchase, and the Aspen Shareholders had agreed to sell, all of the
shares (the “Aspen
Shares”) of Quantum Research Services, Inc., d/b/a Aspen Media and Market
Research, Ltd., a Colorado corporation (“Aspen”), to the
Company. Aspen is in the business of providing market research
services, including: (i) research field services; (ii) circulation –
subscription renewal and acquisitions; (iii) sales lead qualification program
and specialized services; (iv) relational database creation and list
consolidation; and (v) print-to-electronic file conversion.
The
Company had previously agreed to purchase the Aspen Shares for
$2,041,976. Fifty percent (50%) of the purchase price for the Aspen
Shares would have been paid upon the closing of the Aspen Stock Purchase, and
the remaining fifty percent (50%) would have been paid to the Aspen Shareholders
pursuant to the terms of certain promissory notes (the “Notes”) issued by the
Company. At closing, the Notes shall be secured by the Company’s
pledge of the Aspen Shares between the Company and the Aspen
Shareholders.
On April
30, 2008, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale of Assets Agreement (the
“Purchase
Agreement”) with Precision Opinion, Inc., a Nevada Corporation (“Precision”), and
James Medick, Michael France, and Edward Wilson, being all of the shareholders
of Precision (collectively, the “Shareholders”).
The
consummation of the purchase by the Company of substantially all of Precision’s
assets, properties and contractual rights (the “Assets”) pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase”) is
subject to certain conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including the
continued accuracy of the representations and warranties made by all parties
thereto and the parties’ continuing due diligence review. Upon the closing of
the Asset Purchase, the Company will purchase, and Precision will sell, all of
the assets of Precision to the Company. Precision operates a market research and
opinion polling business based in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The
Company will purchase the Assets for the sum of: (i) Five Hundred Sixty-Eight
Thousand Three Hundred and Ten Dollars ($568,310) (the “Initial Payment”);
plus (ii) the
amount (if any) equal to the additional loans made by the Shareholders to
Precision, plus accrued interest on any such loans at the rate of eight percent
(8%) per annum, on terms previously and mutually agreed to in writing or by
email correspondence by James Medick and Gary Stein, President of the Company,
between the date of the Purchase Agreement and the closing of the Asset
Purchase; plus
(iii) the Earn Out Amount.
Subsequent
to closing, the Company shall pay to Precision an additional amount (the “Earn Out Amount”)
equal to five times the EBITDA of the Precision Opinion division of the Company
for the calendar year 2009 less the Initial Payment and the amount of any loans
made to Precision as set forth above. The Earn Out Amount shall be paid one-half
in cash and one-half in common shares of the Company’s stock, valued at the

Description
of Our Subsidiaries and Investments
On August
14, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors conditionally approved the spinoff of
LHC to the shareholders of the Company as of the record date of September 3,
2008. As a result of the dividend, LHC was no longer a subsidiary of
the Company and became a separate reporting company.
Employees
As of
January 13, 2010, the Company employed no employees.
The
Company cannot be assured of being able to attract qualified employees in the
future.
Risk
Factors
We
have a limited operating history and a history of substantial operating losses
and we may not be able to continue our business.
We have a
history of substantial operating losses. For the year ended September
30, 2009, our net loss was $2,071,380. We have
historically experienced cash flow difficulties primarily because our expenses
have exceeded our revenues. We expect to incur additional operating
losses for the immediate near future. These factors, among others,
raise significant doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue from our
operations to pay expenses or we are unable to obtain additional financing on
commercially reasonable terms, our business, financial condition and results of
operations will be materially and adversely affected.
- 4
-
We
will need additional financing in order to continue our operations which we may
not be able to raise.
We will
require additional capital to finance our future operations. We can
provide no assurance that we will obtain additional financing sufficient to meet
our future needs on commercially reasonable terms or otherwise. If we
are unable to obtain the necessary financing, our business, operating results
and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.
We
have no employees and our success is dependent on our ability to retain and
attract consultants to operate our business and there is no assurance that we
can do so.
As
discussed above, as of September 30, 2009, we have no employees and utilize the
services of consultants. They are not otherwise prohibited from
terminating their consulting relationship with the Company. The loss
of the knowledge and management and industry expertise of any of these key
consultants could have a material adverse impact on our future
prospects. Once we are sufficiently capitalized, we will need to
recruit new executive managers and hire employees to help us execute our
business strategy and help manage the growth of our business. Our
business could suffer if we were unable to attract and retain additional highly
skilled personnel or if we were to lose any key personnel and not be able to
find appropriate replacements in a timely manner.
Litigation
concerning intellectual property could adversely affect our
business.
We rely
on a combination of trade secrets, trademark law, contractual provisions,
confidentiality agreements and certain technology and security measures to
protect our trademarks, license, proprietary technology and
know-how. However, we can provide no assurance that competitors will
not infringe upon our rights in our intellectual property or that competitors
will not similarly make claims against us for infringement. If we are
required to be involved in litigation involving intellectual property rights,
our business, operating results and financial condition will be materially and
adversely affected.
It is
possible that third parties might claim infringement by us with respect to past,
current or future technologies. We expect that participants in our
markets will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of
services and competitors in our industry grows. Any claims, whether
meritorious or not, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation and
could cause service upgrade delays or require us to enter into royalty or
licensing agreements. These royalty or licensing agreements might not
be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
The
large number of shares eligible for public sale could cause our stock price to
decline.
The
market price of our common stock could decline as a result of the resale of the
shares of common stock. These sales also might make it more difficult
for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and price that we deem
appropriate.
There
are a significant number of estimates associated with the preparation of our
financial statements.
In
order to prepare the financial statements for our Company, management must make
numerous estimates. Some of the estimates include estimated lives of
fixed assets, various estimates needed to determine
the recoverability of goodwill or intangible assets as well as other
computations used to prepare the financial statements. These
estimates can have a material effect on the financial
statements.
- 5
-
Our
stock price can be extremely volatile.
Our
common stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. There can be no assurance that
an active public market will continue for the common stock, or that the market
price for the common stock will not decline below its current price. Such price
may be influenced by many factors, including, but not limited to, investor
perception of us and our industry and general economic and market conditions.
The trading price of the common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in
response to announcements of our business developments or our competitors,
quarterly variations in operating results, and other events or factors. In
addition, stock markets have experienced extreme price volatility in recent
years. This volatility has had a substantial effect on the market prices of
companies, at times for reasons unrelated to their operating performance. Such
broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the price of our common
stock.
Trading on the OTC Bulletin Board
may be sporadic because it is not a stock exchange, and stockholders may have
difficulty reselling their shares.
Our
common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Trading in stock quoted on the
OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in
trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our
operations or business prospects. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a
stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often
more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on the Nasdaq
SmallCap.
If
we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed
from the OTC Bulletin Board which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to
sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in
the secondary market.
Companies
trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, such as us, must be reporting issuers under
Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be
current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation
privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board. If we fail to remain current on our
reporting requirements, shares of our common stock could be removed from the OTC
Bulletin Board. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be
severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell
our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the
secondary market.
Our
common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC and the trading
market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock
cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.
The
Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the
definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity
security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an
exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For
any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require that a
broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks and
the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written
agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the
penny stock to be purchased.
- 6
-
In order
to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or
dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of
the person and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny
stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and
experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of
transactions in penny stocks.
The
broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a
disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock
market, which, in highlight form sets forth the basis on which the broker or
dealer made the suitability determination and that the broker or dealer received
a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the
transaction.
Generally,
brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the
“penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of
our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our
stock.
Disclosure
also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public
offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the
broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the
securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of
fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent
disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and
information on the limited market in penny stocks.
We
do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock.
We have
not declared cash dividends on our common stock since our incorporation and we
have no present intention of paying cash dividends on our common
stock. MANY OF THESE
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES ARE OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL AND ARE DIFFICULT FOR US TO
FORECAST. ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED
IN THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.
The
Company’s principal executive offices are located at 315 Post Road West, 2nd Flr
Westport, CT 06880 at no cost. As the Company has no employees, the
office is primarily for mail and phone calls, there is an estimate of $8,750 per
year for the value for the space included in the financial
statements.
Subsequent
to year end the company entered into a new five (5) year lease agreement through
November 2014, at a monthly rental rate of $6,525 in years one and two, and
$7,250 in years three through five, for its principal corporate executive
offices.

The
common stock was suspended from trading on the Nasdaq National Market because
the Company had no assets. Since its stock was delisted, the common
stock has been traded on the “pink sheets” and since January 2009 it has been

Each of
these steps has been approved by the board of directors and became effective
April 21, 2008, and all have been reflected in the financial statements and this
document.
On August
14, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors conditionally approved the spinoff of
LHC to the shareholders of the Company as of the record date of September 3,
2008. On September 12, 2008, the Company distributed all the stock of
LHC in the form of a dividend to the shareholders of the Company. As
a result of the dividend, LHC was no longer a subsidiary of the Company and
became a separate reporting company.
Results
of Operations
Fiscal
2009 Compared to Fiscal 2008
Revenues
The
Company had no revenues or operations in either 2009 or 2008.
Cost
of Sales
The
Company had no cost of sales or operations in either 2009 or 2008.
Impairment
Losses
The
Company recognized $0 impairment loss during the year ended September 30, 2009
and $77,500 and $1,200,000 during the same period in fiscal 2008. The
2008 loss of $77,500 was attributed to the CE designation the Company holds on
the emergency dental kit. The impairment was due to the inability of
the
Company to be able to demonstrate an ability to generate revenues related to
this asset. The 2008 loss of $1,200,000 was attributable to the spin
off of the wholly owned subsidiary LifeHealthCare, Inc.

Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses
The
Company recognized $690,680 in administrative expenses and professional expenses
of $1,380,700 in 2009. The Company recognized $738,233 in general and
administrative expenses and professional fees of $3,905,778 in
2008. The expenditures for general and administrative expenses were
primarily related to efforts to revive the Company. The general and
administrative expense for 2009 were less than 2008 general and administrative
expenses due primarily to an additional directors fees expensed in
2008. The decrease from 2008 to 2009 was due to fewer shares issued
for services and lower stock prices at the time of issuance of stock for
consulting services.
Provision
for Income Taxes
The
Company had no income current tax expense and has taken a full valuation
allowance on deferred taxes in 2009 and 2008.
Net
Loss
The
Company recognized net losses of $5,921,511 during fiscal 2008 as compared to
$2,071,380 during the current year for an overall decrease in net loss of
$3,850,131. The decrease was due primarily to the impairment losses and the
issuance of stock for consulting services in 2008.
Financial
Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have
incurred cumulative losses since inception, and the report from our registered
independent public accounting firm on our audited financial statements at
September 30, 2009 contains a going concern statement. We will continue to incur
losses during the foreseeable future and have yet to achieve revenues sufficient
to offset direct expenses and corporate overhead. We do not have any present
commitments for capital expenditures. We cannot guarantee that we will be
successful in our efforts to initiate operations.
We do not
have adequate working capital for the near term. We will continue to be reliant
on loans from our officers to provide working capital. If our officers are
unable to continue to loan us working capital, or we do not raise working
capital through other efforts, we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in
obtaining capital upon terms acceptable to us, if at all. Our failure to secure
necessary capital when needed could have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition and results of operations in future periods.
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, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
- 11
-
Intangible
Assets
Intangible
assets, excluding goodwill, are stated on the basis of cost and are amortized on
a straight-line basis over estimated lives of three to ten
years. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but
are evaluated for impairment annually unless circumstances dictate
otherwise. Management periodically reviews intangible assets for
impairment based on an assessment of undiscounted future cash flows, which are
compared to the carrying value of the intangible assets. Should these
cash flows not equate to or exceed the carrying value of the intangible, a
discounted cash flow model is used to determine the extent of any impairment
charge required. As noted above, the Company reviewed the CE
Designation costs for impairment as of September 30, 2008 and determined that it
was fully impaired.
Income
Taxes
The
income tax (provision) benefit is computed on the basis of the various tax
jurisdictions' income or loss before income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect
the tax effects of differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax
purposes. The Company uses judgment and assumptions to determine if valuation
allowances for deferred income tax assets are required if realization is not
likely by considering future market growth, forecasted operations, future
taxable income, and the amounts of earnings in the tax jurisdictions in which it
operates.
The
Company considers income taxes in each of the tax jurisdictions in which it
operates in order to determine its effective income tax rate. Current income tax
exposure is identified and temporary differences resulting from differing
treatments of items for tax and financial reporting purposes are assessed. These
differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in
the Company's balance sheets. Additionally, the Company evaluates the
recoverability of deferred income tax assets from future taxable income and
establishes valuation allowances if recovery is deemed not more likely than not.
Accordingly, income taxes in the statements of operations are impacted by
changes in the valuation allowance. Significant management estimates and
judgment are required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against
net deferred tax assets. The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions by
recording a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax
positions taken, or expected to be taken, in its tax returns.
The
Company has not filed any federal, state or local tax returns for over ten
years. The Company expects to file all its delinquent tax returns
within the next year.
The
Company does not ordinarily hold market risk sensitive instruments for trading
purposes. The Company does, however, recognize market risk from interest rate
and foreign currency exchange exposure.
Interest
Rate Risk
The
Company does not have any interest rate sensitive assets or
obligations.

To the
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Market
& Research Corp.
Westport,
CT
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of Market & Research Corp (the
“Company”) as of September 30, 2009 and 2008 and the related statements of
operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years ended September
30, 2009 and 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no
such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Market &
Research Corp. at September 30, 2009 and 2008 and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the
financial statements, Market & Research Corp. has suffered recurring losses
due to lack of operations, current liabilities exceed current assets and an
accumulated deficit. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard
to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
these uncertainties.

ORGANIZATION
AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
|
The
Company, which was incorporated November 10, 1994, was a manufacturer, designer,
importer and wholesaler of men's shoes. Beginning in 1999, the
Company ceased all operations and has remained in a dormant state since such
date. Recently, the company began taking steps to commence
operations. The company has identified certain investments and is in
the process of securing funds to acquire those investments and commence
operations. There is no guarantee that the company will secure the
necessary financing to acquire or operate the assets. Management has primarily
focused its attention on the reorganization of Market & Research Corp. in
order to prepare the Company for capital raising activities. Neither
the parent company nor the subsidiary has devoted its attentions to financial
planning, raising capital, research and development or any other activities that
would be associated with the start up of operations. As such, neither
company qualifies for classification for development stage
accounting.
NOTE

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
The
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America and incorporate the following
significant accounting policies:
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company considers, when applicable, the fair value of the cash equivalents,
receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate carrying value
based on the short term nature of the instruments.
Intangible
Assets
Intangible
assets, excluding goodwill, are stated on the basis of cost and are amortized on
a straight-line basis over estimated life of ten years. Intangible
assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are evaluated for impairment
annually unless circumstances dictate otherwise. Management
periodically reviews intangible assets for impairment based on an assessment of
undiscounted future cash flows, which are compared to the carrying value of the
intangible assets. Should these cash flows not equate to or exceed
the carrying value of the intangible, a discounted cash flow model is used to
determine the extent of any impairment charge required. For the years
ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 the amortization expense on intangible assets
amounted to $0 and $7,500, respectively. The patent costs relate to a
patent application. The patent has not been granted. When
the patent is granted, the amount will be amortized. If the
application is denied, the amount will be written off. During the
year ended September 30, 2008, management determined that the CE Designation was
fully impaired and as such was written off.
F-6
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company applies the provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation”,
which requires companies to measure all employee stock-based compensation awards
using a fair value method and recognize compensation cost in its financial
statements. The Company recognizes the fair value of stock-based
compensation awards as selling, general and administrative expense in the
consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the vesting
period. The Company
recorded $1,705,850and $4,447,306 for the years ended September 30, 2009 and
2008 for the issuance of stock.
Income
Taxes
Income
tax expense is based on pretax income. Deferred income taxes are computed
using the asset-liability method in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, and
are provided on all temporary differences between the financial basis and the
tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. The Company accounts
for any uncertain tax positions, including issues related to the recognition and
measurement of those tax positions, in accordance with the tax position guidance
in ASC 740. During the year ended September 30, 2009, the Company
recognized no adjustments for uncertain tax benefits.
Net
Income (Loss) Per Share
Net
Income (Loss) per common share is based on the Net Income (Loss) divided by
weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted
earnings per share are computed using weighted average number of common shares
plus dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period using the
treasury stock method. As the Company has a loss for the periods
ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 the potentially dilutive shares are
anti-dilutive and are thus not added into the earnings per share
calculation.
Capital
Structure and Security Rights
Common
Stock - The Company was initially authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of
common stock, par value $.01 per share. All common shares are equal to each
other with respect to voting, and dividend rights, and are equal to each other
with respect to liquidations rights. On October 17, 2005, a majority
of shareholders passed a resolution to increase the number of authorized common
shares to 250,000,000. On January 30, 2006 the holders of a majority
of the outstanding common stock of the Company passed a resolution to increase
the number of authorized common shares from 250,000,000 to
1,500,000,000. The purpose of these resolutions was to create a
sufficient number of shares of common stock to allow the Company to settle its
last remaining liability and to commence operations.
On
December 18, 2007 the Company filed a Schedule 14 (C) with the Security and
Exchange Commission announcing the approval by a majority of shareholders of the
following:
A reverse Stock split of
150:1. As a result of the reverse split, the number of authorized and
issued shares of common stock will be reduced to 9,991,072 from
1,498,612,518.
A reduction of the authorized number of
common stock from 1,500,000,000 to 150,000,000.
An amendment to change the name of the
Company from Cable & Co. Worldwide, Inc. to Market & Research
Corp.
Each of
these steps has been approved by the board of directors and became effective
April 21, 2008, and all have been reflected in the financial statements and this
document.
F-7
On August
14, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors conditionally approved the spinoff of
LHC to the shareholders of the Company as of the record date of September 3,
2008. On September 12, 2008, the Company distributed all the stock of
LHC in the form of a dividend to the shareholders of the Company. As
a result of the dividend, LHC was no longer a subsidiary of the Company and
became a separate reporting company. LHC’s financial results are
included in these financial statements up to and including September 12,
2008. All intercompany transactions have been
eliminated.
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
In
June 2009 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles”. ASC 105 establishes the Codification as the sole source of
authoritative accounting principles to be applied in the preparation of
financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The adoption of this
statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or
results of operations.
In
October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-13,
“Revenue Recognition - Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements”. The
guidance in ASU 2009-13 amends the criteria for separating consideration in
multiple-deliverable arrangements and expands required disclosures related to a
company’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. ASU 2009-13 is
effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15,
2010. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption will
have on its financial position or results of operations.
In
June 2009 the Company adopted ASC 855, “Subsequent Events”, which
establishes the general standards of accounting for and disclosures required for
events occurring after the balance sheet date but before financial statements
are issued or are available to be issued. Under ASC 855 the effects of all
subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed
at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the
process of preparing financial statements, are required to be recognized in the
financial statements. Subsequent events that provide evidence about
conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after
the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are
available to be issued should not be recognized in the financial statements but
may need to be disclosed to prevent the financial statements from being
misleading. The adoption did not have a material impact on the subsequent
events that we report, either through recognition or disclosure, in our
financial statement.
In
November 2008 the Company adopted ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures”, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring
fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This
statement does not require any new fair value measurements; rather, it applies
under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value
measurements. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have a material impact on
the Company’s financial position or results of
operations.
In
December 2007 the FASB issued ASC 805, “Business Combinations”. Under
ASC 805, an entity is required to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities
assumed, contractual contingencies, and contingent consideration at their fair
value on the acquisition date. It further requires that acquisition-related
costs are recognized separately from the acquisition and expensed as incurred,
restructuring costs generally expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition
date, and changes in accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowances and
acquired income tax uncertainties after the measurement period impact income tax
expense. The adoption of ASC 805 will change the accounting treatment
for business combinations on a prospective basis beginning in the first quarter
of fiscal year 2010.
In
December 2007 the FASB issued ASC 810, “Consolidation”. ASC 810
changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be
recharacterized as non-controlling interests and classified as a component of
equity. ASC 810 is effective for us on a prospective basis for business
combinations with an acquisition date beginning in the first quarter of fiscal
year 2010. As of September 30, 2009, the Company did not have any minority
interests; therefore the adoption of this statement is not expected to have an
impact on the Company’s financial statements.
F-8
In
April 2008 the FASB issued guidance which was primarily codified into ASC
350 “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other”. The guidance amends the factors
that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to
determine the useful life of intangible assets. The intent of the guidance
is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible
asset under the accounting standards and the period of the expected cash flows
used to measure the fair value of the asset. The Company will adopt in the
first quarter of fiscal 2010 and will apply the guidance prospectively to
intangible assets acquired after adoption.
Other
accounting standards that have been issued or proposed that do not require
adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the
financial statements upon adoption.
Reclassifications
Certain
amounts from prior years have been reclassified to conform to the 2009
presentation.
NOTE
3.
|
GOING
CONCERN
|
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses, has
accumulated deficit of approximately, $27,000,000, current assets exceed current
liabilities and is dependent upon financing to continue
operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. It is
management's plan to continue to implement their strategy to commence
operations. With the commencement of operations, management believes they will
generate sufficient funds to support operations. Officers will
continue to support operations as needed for any shortfalls in cash
flows.
NOTE

INTANGIBLE
ASSETS
|
Amortization
expense for intangible assets was $0 and $7,500 for the years ended September
30, 2009 and 2008 respectively. We account for goodwill and other
intangible assets in accordance with SFAS No. 142, which requires that goodwill
and other intangible assets that have indefinite lives not be amortized but
instead be tested at least annually for impairment, or more frequently when
events or a change in circumstances indicate that the asset might be
impaired. At September 30, 2008 management determined that the CE
Designation was fully impaired and the Company expensed $75,000.

INCOME
TAXES
|
The
Company last filed its income tax returns for the year 1999. It has
not filed tax returns for any period since 1999. The ability of the
Company to utilize all or part of its operating tax loss caryforwards or its
charitable contribution carryforwards to reduce any tax obligation in the future
has not been determined. In addition, at this time, the Company has
no operations and no possibility of producing taxable income to utilize any such
operating tax loss carryforward or charitable contribution
carryforward. For both reasons,
F-9
no tax
asset has been recorded since the Company believes at this time it is more
likely than not that that the amounts will not be realized. No
provision for income taxes has been recorded due to the net operating loss
carryforward of approximately $9,760,000 as of September 30, 2009 that will be
offset against further taxable income. No tax benefit has been
reported in the financial statements. Under the Internal Revenue
Code, generally, expiration of net operating loss carryforwards are twenty-years
from when such losses were derived. Additionally, limits may be
imposed on the use of such losses based on certain factors, including, but not
limited to, a change in stockholders.

COMMITMENTS,
CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER MATTERS
|
Litigation
The
Company has been inactive for over eight years. Based on searches
performed in various jurisdictions that the Company previously operated in, no
asserted or pending litigations were discovered. Inquiries of former
officers and directors revealed no known litigation, either pending, suspended
or possible. There can be no assurance that there are no potential or
possible litigations in the jurisdictions searched or other jurisdictions not
searched. Based on currently available information, we believe that
there are no pending claims that will have a material adverse effect on the
Company’s future operating results or financial position.
Commitments
The
Company has entered into three definitive Purchase Agreements each of which is
in full force and effect. On November 12, 2007, the Company entered into a Stock
Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”)
with Andrew Perlmutter and David Weiss (collectively, the “Shareholders”).
The
consummation of the stock purchase pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the
“Stock
Purchase”) is subject to certain conditions set forth in the Purchase
Agreement, including the continued accuracy of the representations and
warranties made by all parties thereto and the parties’ continuing due diligence
review. Upon the closing of the Stock Purchase, the Company will
purchase, and the Shareholders will sell, all of the shares (the “Shares”) of
InMarketing Corp., a New Jersey corporation (“InMarketing”), to the
Company. InMarketing is in the business of designing proprietary
software that provides a unique database-driven program to help companies build
employee incentive programs.
The
Company has agreed to purchase the Shares for $6,121,185. Fifty
percent (50%) of the purchase price will be paid upon the closing of the Stock
Purchase, and the remaining fifty percent (50%) will be paid to the Shareholders
pursuant to certain promissory notes issued by the Company. Upon the
closing of the Stock Purchase, the Shares will be held in escrow, until the
purchase price has been paid in full.
As of
November 5, 2007, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the
“Aspen Purchase
Agreement”) with Frank H. Schaller, Robert E. Hall, Paul K.
Cowhig III, Matthew A. Lambert, and Sherrie L. Smith (collectively, the “Aspen
Shareholders”). Although the agreement to purchase Aspen
expired on February 1, 2008, a majority of the Aspen Shareholders have agreed to
remain bound to the same terms to be purchased with no specified termination
date
The stock
purchase pursuant to the former Aspen Purchase Agreement (the “Aspen Stock Purchase”
was subject to certain conditions set forth in the Aspen Purchase Agreement,
including the continued accuracy of the representations and warranties made by
all parties thereto and the parties’ continuing due diligence
review. Upon the closing of the Aspen Stock Purchase, the Company had
agreed to purchase, and the Aspen Shareholders had agreed to sell, all of the
shares (the “Aspen
Shares”) of Quantum Research Services, Inc., d/b/a Aspen Media and Market
Research, Ltd., a Colorado corporation (“Aspen”), to the
Company. Aspen is in the business of providing market research
services, including: (i) research field services; (ii) circulation –
subscription renewal and acquisitions; (iii) sales lead qualification program
and specialized services; (iv) relational database creation and list
consolidation; and (v) print-to-electronic file conversion.
The
Company had previously agreed to purchase the Aspen Shares for
$2,041,976. Fifty percent (50%) of the purchase price for the Aspen
Shares would have been paid upon the closing of the Aspen Stock Purchase, and
the remaining fifty percent (50%) would have been paid to the Aspen Shareholders
pursuant to the terms of certain promissory notes (the “Notes”) issued by the
Company. At closing, the Notes
shall be secured by the Company’s pledge of the Aspen Shares between the Company
and the Aspen Shareholders.

“Purchase
Agreement”) with Precision Opinion, Inc., a Nevada Corporation (“Precision”), and
James Medick, Michael France, and Edward Wilson, being all of the shareholders
of Precision (collectively, the “Shareholders”).
The
consummation of the purchase by the Company of substantially all of Precision’s
assets, properties and contractual rights (the “Assets”) pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase”) is

Thousand Three Hundred and Ten Dollars ($568,310) (the “Initial Payment”);
plus (ii) the
amount (if any) equal to the additional loans made by the Shareholders to
Precision, plus accrued interest on any such loans at the rate of eight percent
(8%) per annum, on terms previously and mutually agreed to in writing or by
email correspondence by James Medick and Gary Stein, President of the Company,
between the date of the Purchase Agreement and the closing of the Asset
Purchase; plus
(iii) the Earn Out Amount.
Subsequent
to the closing, the Company shall pay to Precision an additional amount (the
“Earn out
Amount”) equal to five times the EBITDA of the Precision Opinion division
of the Company for the calendar year 2009 less the Initial Payment and the
amount of any loans made to Precision as set forth above. The Earn out Amount
shall be paid one-half in cash and one-half in common shares of the Company’s
stock, valued at the average of the bid price for the first ten business days in

into an employment agreement with James Medick and certain other ancillary
documents related to the Asset Purchase.

Applicable
The
Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure
(1) that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it
files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the
time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules
and forms, and (2) that this information is accumulated and communicated to
management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and
procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter
how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of
achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was
required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of
possible controls and procedures.
As of
the date of this annual report, under the supervision and review of
the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its
disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this
report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure
controls and procedures are effective in alerting them in a timely manner to
material information regarding the Company that is required to be included in
its periodic reports to the SEC.
In
addition, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls
since the Company’s evaluation. The Company can provide no assurance,
however, that its system of disclosure controls and procedures will always
achieve its stated goals under all future conditions, no matter how
remote.
