IA GLOBAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1. BUSINESS

 

THE COMPANY AND OUR BUSINESS

 

IA Global, Inc. (“IA Global” or the “Company”) is a global services company. The Company has historically had a strong presence in the Pacific Rim region and a dedicated focus on leveraging its existing business with complementary opportunities through a merger and acquisition strategy. The Company’s mission is to identify and invest in business opportunities, apply its skills and resources to nurture and enhance the performance of those businesses across key business metrics, and to deliver accelerating shareholder value.

 

The Company plans to acquire or invest in growth and commodity businesses in the service, technology and energy sectors, including oil & gas, solar, and other energy markets at discounted prices. We expect to focus on growth opportunities with businesses that require improvements in management, financial processes and liquidity to be successful. We expect to focus on sectors that would benefit from the infrastructure and business processes of IA Global. In addition, the Company expects to leverage our Asian presence with US-based companies and investors seeking to expand their Asian presence. 

 

In the Philippines, IA Global is the 100% owner of Asia Premier Executive Suites Inc. and Shift Resources Inc., companies that have now been merged into a single company named Global Hotline Philippines Inc.

 

On December 18, 2009, the Company received an investment of 200 million Yen, or approximately $2.2 million at current exchange rates, from the Inter Asset Japan LBO No. 1 Fund. The Company has tentatively allocated $2.0 million of the investment to establish a venture capital fund in South Korea, and it expects to use the remaining $0.2 million for working capital purposes. The Company’s $2.0 million will be part of a larger, Korean government-backed venture fund that is expected to raise approximately $30 million in its first round of financing by early 2010. TOZAI Holdings Inc. (“TOZAI”), a company traded on the Korean Kosdaq stock market under the symbol “037700” with successful experience in investing in high-technology ventures in Korea, is facilitating the Korean government licensing and funding.

 

The venture fund is expected to facilitate high-tech manufacturing of solar, LCD, and touch panels in Korea. This is the Company’s first step toward strengthening its position in global technical, financial, energy, and commodity markets. TOZAI and the Company intend to partner to build a solid foundation that utilizes the low-cost, highly skilled technology base in Korea to capture emerging business opportunities worldwide. 

 

Until recently, the Company also operated in Japan through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Hotline, Inc. (“GHI” or “Global Hotline”). In May 2009, a dispute arose between GHI and one of its lenders, H Capital, Inc. The dispute resulted in H Capital claiming ownership of IA Global’s shares in GHI, which had been pledged as collateral for certain loans borrowed by the subsidiary. Although the Company continues to assert its ownership of GHI, on December 8, 2009, the Company reached the decision to deconsolidate the operations of Global Hotline, effective as of July 1, 2009. As a result, the Company accounted for Global Hotline as a discontinued operation for periods ending after July 1, 2009. Our reported net profit (loss) improved by $10.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and our stockholders’ deficit as of December 31, 2009 decreased by $10.1 million as a result of recording the deferred gain from the forfeiture of Global Hotline operations that was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2009. These events and their impact on our financial statements are discussed in more detail in other portions of this report, including Note 3.

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of IA Global and our subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The financial statements for the periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 are unaudited and include all adjustments necessary to a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods then ended. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of the Company’s operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of the Company’s operations for a full fiscal year. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 3, 2009.

 

In this Form 10-Q, the phrase “at current exchange rates” refers to the exchange rate in effect as of the date of the applicable event or transaction.

 

GOING CONCERN

 

These consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States on a “going concern” basis, which presumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.

 

The Company has incurred operating losses for the year ended March 31, 2009, the transition period for the three months ended March 31, 2008, and for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, as well having an accumulated deficit of approximately $58,900,000 and $59,600,000, and a working capital deficit of approximately $108,000 and $11,018,000, each as of December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2009, respectively.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the continued development of our business and investments, obtaining additional financing to develop such business, and the success of the Company’s business plan. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. These consolidated unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue its business.

 

On December 8, 2009, the Company reached the decision to deconsolidate the operations of Global Hotline, effective as of July 1, 2009. As a result, the Company accounted for Global Hotline as a discontinued operation for periods ending after July 1, 2009. Our reported net profit (loss) improved by $10.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and our stockholders’ deficit as of December 31, 2009 decreased by $10.1 million as a result of recording the deferred gain from the forfeiture of Global Hotline operations that was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2009. These events and their impact on our financial statements are discussed in more detail in other portions of this report, including Note 3.

 

RECLASSIFICATIONS

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the Company’s financial statements for prior periods to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or retained earnings.

 

Included in such reclassification is the presentation of Global Hotline as a discontinued operation as of March 31, 2009 and for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

 

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

 

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. Inter-company items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

7



CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company classifies highly liquid temporary investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased as cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. Balances at US banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to US$250,000. Balances in Japanese banks are generally insured by the Deposit Insurance Corporation of Japan up to 10,000,000 Yen per depositor per bank or approximately US$111,000 as of December 31, 2009. Balances in Philippine banks are generally insured by the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation up to 750,000 Pesos per depositor per bank or approximately $16,000 as of December 31, 2009.

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2009, the Company’s cash in bank deposit accounts did not exceed federally insured limits with regards to certain accounts in the United States. During the three months ended December 31, 2009 the Company’s cash in bank deposit accounts did not exceed Japanese statutory limits with regards to certain accounts in Japan. During the three months ended December 31, 2009 the Company’s cash in bank deposit accounts did not exceed Philippine statutory limits with regards to certain accounts in the Philippines. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk for cash on deposit.

 

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS - Accounts receivable consists primarily of amounts due to the Company from normal business activities. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect the expected non-collection of accounts receivable based on past collection history and specific risks identified within the portfolio. If the financial condition of the customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, or if payments from customers are significantly delayed, additional allowances might be required.

 

EQUIPMENT - Equipment consists of machinery, equipment and software, which are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of machinery and equipment is computed by the accelerated or straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the relevant asset, generally 2-5 years. Software developed or obtained for internal use is amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, generally 2-3 years.

 

INTANGIBLE ASSETS / INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY - The Company is amortizing the intellectual property and other intangible assets acquired in connection with its acquisition of Global Hotline Philippines, Inc. over 60 months on a straight-line basis, which corresponds with the period of time for which management was able to project future revenues, either under the parties’ agreement or through ongoing business activities following the closing of the transaction.

 

LONG-LIVED ASSETS - The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets under certain circumstances are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value. Assets to be disposed of and assets not expected to provide any future service potential to the Company are recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value (less the projected cost associated with selling the asset). To the extent carrying values exceed fair values, an impairment loss is recognized in operating results.

 

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The Company has adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements”, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Topic 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, Topic 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

 

All cash and cash equivalents include money market securities and commercial paper that are considered to be highly liquid and easily tradable as of December 31, 2009. These securities are valued using inputs observable in active markets for identical securities and are therefore classified as Level 1 within our fair value hierarchy.

 

8



The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, prepayments and other current assets, accounts payable, taxes payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company’s loan payable approximates the fair value of such instrument based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangement at December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2009.

 

In addition, Topic 820 expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect the fair value options for any of its qualifying financial instruments.

 

REVENUE RECOGNITION - Global Hotline Philippines’ revenue is derived from other products and services. Revenue is considered realized when the services have been provided to the customer, the work has been accepted by the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. Furthermore, if an actual measurement of revenue cannot be determined, we defer all revenue recognition until such time that an actual measurement can be determined. If during the course of a contract management determines that losses are expected to be incurred, such costs are charged to operations in the period such losses are determined. Revenues are deferred when cash has been received from the customer but the revenue has not been earned. The Company recorded deferred revenue of US$0 as of December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2009, respectively.

 

ADVERTISING COSTS - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. There were minimal advertising costs incurred for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

 

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - Foreign entities whose functional currency is the local currency translate net assets at the end of period rates and income and expense accounts at average exchange rates for the periods ended. Adjustments resulting from these translations are reflected in the consolidated balance sheet under other comprehensive income and the statement of operations under other income (expense).

 

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION - We account for the grant of stock options and restricted stock awards in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation.”   ASC 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation.

 

When stock options are granted, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model and the weighted assumptions noted in the following table.

The Company recorded $368,590 and $353,620 of compensation expense, net of related tax effects, relative to stock options for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 in accordance with SFAS 123R. Net loss per share (basic and diluted) associated with this expense was approximately ($0.00).

 

As of December 31, 2009, there is approximately $100,000 of total unrecognized costs related to employee granted stock options that are not vested. These costs are expected to be recognized over a period of approximately three years.

 

In addition to options granted to employees, the Company grants options and warrants to non-employees for services. The Company did not issue any shares of common stock to non-employees during the nine months ended December 31, 2009. The Company issued 21,429 shares of common stock to non-employees at an average exercise price of $.280 per share during the nine months ended December 31, 2008. There are 273,929 stock options outstanding that are held by non-employees as of September 30, 2009, which carry an average exercise price of $.342 per share.

On June 17, 2009, certain key executives, employees, and directors of the Company voluntarily cancelled stock option grants to purchase an aggregate of 5,439,583 shares of common stock. The grants were previously issued on various dates and prices above $.13 per share.

 

On June 17, 2009, the Company awarded stock option grants totaling 5,439,583 shares to certain key executives, employees, and directors. The grants were priced at $.05 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on June 16, 2009, the date before the scheduled compensation committee meeting at which such grants were approved. In accordance with the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, the grants are vested immediately and expire on June 16, 2019. The stock options were granted to provide a proper incentive for employees, officers and directors and to reduce the cost of the stock option grants over the subsequent three years. The Company expensed $345,846 during the nine months ended December 31, 2009 related to this transaction.

 

On August 24, 2009, the Company awarded Mr. Scott, our Chief Financial Officer, an option to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The award was granted at the fair market price of $0.05 per share based on the adjusted closing price of the Company’s common stock on August 20, 2009, the last trading day before the board of directors approved the grant. In accordance with the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, the stock option vests quarterly over three years and expires on August 23, 2019.

 

On September 4, 2009, the Company awarded to each of Messrs. Hoekstra, Senda, Henry, Garnreiter and LeClaire (all directors of the Company) an option to purchase 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The awards were granted at the fair market price of $0.04 per share based on the adjusted closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the award. In accordance with the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, the stock options vest quarterly over three years and expire on September 3, 2019.

 

On November 5, 2009, the compensation committee awarded Mr. Hoekstra an option to purchase 1,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The award was granted at the fair market price of $0.04 per share based on the adjusted closing price of the Company’s common stock on November 4, 2009, the last trading day before the compensation committee approved the award. The stock option vests quarterly over three years beginning on September 4, 2009 and expires on September 3, 2019.

 

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME - The Company has adopted ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income.” This statement establishes rules for the reporting of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income consists of net loss to common shareholders and foreign currency transaction adjustments and is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Stockholders’ Equity.

 

INCOME TAXES - Income tax provision (benefit) is based on reported income (loss) before income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the effect of temporary differences between asset and liability amounts that are recognized for financial reporting purposes and the amounts that are recognized for income tax purposes. These deferred taxes are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws in the countries and locations where the Company (or its applicable subsidiary) operates. The Company recognizes refundable and deferred assets to the extent that management has determined their realization.

 

NET LOSS PER SHARE - Under the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the income of the Company, subject to anti-dilution limitations. The common stock equivalents have not been included as they are anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2009, there were options outstanding for the purchase of 10,092,012 common shares, warrants for the purchase of 11,482,064 common shares, 3,554,546 shares of common stock issued as collateral for loans, which could potentially dilute future earnings per share. As of December 31, 2008, there were options outstanding for the purchase of 12,060,812 common shares, warrants for 36,962,243 common shares and shares issued as collateral for loans of 3,554,546 shares of common stock which could potentially dilute future earnings per share.

 

DIVIDEND POLICY - The Company has never paid any cash dividends and intends, for the foreseeable future, to retain any future earnings for the development of our business. Our future dividend policy will be determined by the board of directors on the basis of various factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and investment opportunities.

 

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 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.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

Recent accounting pronouncements applicable to the Company are summarized below.

 

 

EITF Issue No. 07-5 (ASC 815), “Determining Whether an Instrument (or embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (EITF 07-5) was issued in June 2008 to clarify how to determine whether certain instruments or features were indexed to an entity’s own stock under EITF Issue No. 01-6 (ASC 815), “The Meaning of “Indexed to a Company’s Own Stock” (EITF 01-6) (ASC 815),. EITF 07-5(ASC 815), applies to any freestanding financial instrument (or embedded feature) that has all of the characteristics of a derivative as defined in FAS 133, for purposes of determining whether that instrument (or embedded feature) qualifies for the first part of the paragraph 11(a) scope exception. It is also applicable to any freestanding financial instrument (e.g., gross physically settled warrants) that is potentially settled in an entity’s own stock, regardless of whether it has all of the characteristics of a derivative as defined in FAS 133 (ASC 815), for purposes of determining whether to apply EITF 00-19 (ASC 815). EITF 07-5(ASC 815) does not apply to share-based payment awards within the scope of FAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment (FAS 123(R) (ASC 718)). However, an equity-linked financial instrument issued to investors to establish a market-based measure of the fair value of employee stock options is not within the scope of FAS 123(R) and therefore is subject to EITF 07-5(ASC 815).

 

 

In January 2009, the FASB issued FSP EITF 99-20-1 (ASC 325), to amend the impairment guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-20 (ASC 325) in order to achieve more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) has occurred. This FSP amended EITF 99-20 (ASC 325) to more closely align the OTTI guidance therein to the guidance in Statement No. 115 (ASC 320, 10-35-31). Retrospective application to a prior interim or annual period is prohibited. The guidance in this FSP was considered in the assessment of OTTI for various securities at December 31, 2008.

 

 

On June 5, 2003, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted final rules under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”), as amended by SEC Release No. 33-9072 on October 13, 2009. Commencing with its annual report for the year ending March 31, 2011, the Company will be required to include a report of management on its internal control over financial reporting. The internal control report must include a statement of:

 

◦   Management’s responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over its financial reporting;

◦   Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of year- end; and

◦   The framework used by management to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Furthermore, it is required to file the auditor’s attestation report separately on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting on whether it believes that the Company has maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting. 

 

 

In June 2009, the FASB approved the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP to be launched on July 1, 2009. The Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. All existing accounting standard documents will be superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the Codification will be considered non-authoritative. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. 

 

 

In August 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-04 “Accounting for Redeemable Equity Instruments - Amendment to Section 480-10-S99” which represents an update to section 480-10-S99, distinguishing liabilities from equity, per EITF Topic D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

11



 

In August 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-05 “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures Topic 820 – Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value”, which provides amendments to subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall, for the fair value measurement of liabilities. This update provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following techniques: 1. A valuation technique that uses: a. The quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset b. Quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets. 2. Another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of topic 820; two examples would be an income approach, such as a present value technique, or a market approach, such as a technique that is based on the amount at the measurement date that the reporting entity would pay to transfer the identical liability or would receive to enter into the identical liability. The amendments in this update also clarify that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. The amendments in this update also clarify that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

 

In September 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-08 “Earnings Per Share – Amendments to Section 260-10-S99”,which represents technical corrections to topic 260-10-S99, Earnings per share, based on EITF Topic D-53, Computation of Earnings Per Share for a Period that includes a Redemption or an Induced Conversion of a Portion of a Class of Preferred Stock and EITF Topic D-42, The Effect of the Calculation of Earnings per Share for the Redemption or Induced Conversion of Preferred Stock. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

 

In September 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-09 “Accounting for Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures and Accounting for Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”. This update represents a correction to Section 323-10-S99-4, Accounting by an Investor for Stock-Based Compensation Granted to Employees of an Equity Method Investee. Additionally, it adds observer comment Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees to the Codification. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

 

In September 2009, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-12 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic 820 – Investment in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Assets Value Per Share (or Its Equivalent)”, which provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures-Overall, for the fair value measurement of investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share (or its equivalent). The amendments in this update permit, as a practical expedient, a reporting entity to measure the fair value of an investment that is within the scope of the amendments in this update on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent) if the net asset value of the investment (or its equivalent) is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles of Topic 946 as of the reporting entity’s measurement date, including measurement of all or substantially all of the underlying investments of the investee in accordance with Topic 820. The amendments in this update also require disclosures by major category of investment about the attributes of investments within the scope of the amendments in this update, such as the nature of any restrictions on the investor’s ability to redeem its investments at the measurement date, any unfunded commitments (for example, a contractual commitment by the investor to invest a specified amount of additional capital at a future date to fund investments that will be made by the investee), and the investment strategies of the investees. The major category of investment is required to be determined on the basis of the nature and risks of the investment in a manner consistent with the guidance for major security types in U.S. GAAP on investments in debt and equity securities in paragraph 320-10-50-1B. The disclosures are required for all investments within the scope of the amendments in this update regardless of whether the fair value of the investment is measured using the practical expedient. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

12



 

In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance for amendments to FASB Emerging Issues Task Force on EITF Issue No. 09-1 “Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of a Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing” (Subtopic 470-20) “Subtopic”. This accounting standards update establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for arrangements under which own-share lending arrangements issued in contemplation of convertible debt issuance. This Statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2009. Earlier adoption is not permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard setting organizations and various regulatory agencies. Due to the tentative and preliminary nature of those proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to our consolidated financial statements. 

 

NOTE 3. DECONSOLIDATED AND RETURNED ASSETS, ACQUISITIONS, INVESTMENTS

 

Business Process Outsourcing (“BPO”)

 

DECONSOLIDATION OF GLOBAL HOTLINE, INC.

 

As has been previously disclosed, the Company pledged its shares of Global Hotline as collateral for certain loans borrowed from H Capital, an unlicensed Japanese lender, by such subsidiary. On May 26, 2009, Global Hotline and IA Global received notices from H Capital demanding repayment of the loans. On May 27, 2009, Global Hotline and SG Telecom did not repay the loans as requested by H Capital. On June 9, 2009, H Capital submitted documents claiming ownership of the Company’s 600 shares of Global Hotline. Global Hotline’s management previously provided the Company’s stock certificates to H Capital in March 2009.

 

Although the Company has engaged Japanese corporate counsel to challenge the validity of the loans and H Capital’s claims with respect to the Company’s ownership of Global Hotline, these events have resulted in IA Global losing control over the day-to-day management and operations of Global Hotline. In addition, we no longer have access to the financial records of Global Hotline that are necessary to periodically report our financial position and results of operations as a consolidated subsidiary of IA Global.

 

On December 8, 2009, the Company deconsolidated the operations of Global Hotline, effective as of July 1, 2009. As a result, the Company accounted for Global Hotline as a discontinued operation for periods ending after July 1, 2009. Our reported net profit (loss) improved by $10.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and our stockholders’ deficit as of December 31, 2009 decreased by $10.1 million as a result of recording the deferred gain from the forfeiture of Global Hotline operations that was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2009.

 

Set forth below are unaudited pro forma financial statements reflecting management’s decision to deconsolidate the operations of Global Hotline. These pro forma financial statements may not be indicative of how future financial statements will appear, regardless of the outcome of the Company’s dispute with H Capital. The Company will continue to pursue its civil claim against H Capital, and we are also exploring alternative structures through which we can pursue IA Global’s interest in the Japanese BPO business.

GLOBAL HOTLINES PHILIPPINES INC. (Unaudited)

 

In the Philippines, IA Global is the 100% owner of Asia Premier Executive Suites Inc. (“Asia Premier”) and Shift Resources Inc. (“Shift”), companies that have been merged into a single organization and operate as Global Hotline Philippines Inc. (“Global Hotline Philippines”).

 

On May 27, 2008, the Company acquired 100% of Asia Premier. Asia Premier provides flexible in-bound and out-bound call center, lead generation, and co-location service solutions to international companies. Asia Premier facilities are equipped with fully redundant, world-class Internet and network facilities, are capable of handling 300 or more seats, have a 24-hour back-up to ensure clients have seamless service, consistent high-quality bandwidth and technical support 365 days a year.

 

The transaction was structured as a share exchange in which IA Global issued 1,250,000 shares of its common stock at $.24 per share, the average closing price during the negotiations, totaling $300,000; plus three notes payable totaling $268,000, of which $262,000 was paid as of June 30, 2009. The transaction was valued at $618,000.

 

On April 10, 2008, the Company acquired 100% of Shift. Shift provides a range of in-bound and out-bound call centers, lead generation and customer service solutions for international companies across multiple time zones.

 

The transaction was structured as a share exchange in which the Company issued 826,086 shares of its common stock at $.23 per share, the average closing price during the negotiations, totaling $190,000 plus a payment of $35,000 at closing. The transaction was valued at $225,000.

 

Asia Premier and Shift were acquired because they have contracts that we expected to be renewed in an industry sector that was expected to grow. The purchase price resulted in identifiable intangible assets. Their results are included in the financial statements of IA Global for all periods since acquisition. There were no contingent payments earned, options or commitments in the acquisition agreement. There was no purchased research and development assets acquired or written off with the acquisition.

 

As of December 31, 2009, Global Hotline Philippines operates one call center in the Philippines and employs 34 full-time. In addition, it signed a long term Business Processing and Marketing Services Agreement with HTMT Global Solutions Limited (“HTMT”) on January 9, 2009. Global Hotline Philippines will also use HTMT’s infrastructure, certifications, and extensive call center facilities to deliver services to Global Hotline Philippines’ growing client base.

 

PROPOSED INVESTMENT IN KOREAN VENTURE FUND

 

On December 18, 2009, the Company received an investment of 200 million Yen, or approximately $2.2 million at current exchange rates, from the Inter Asset Japan LBO No. 1 Fund. The Company has tentatively allocated $2.0 million of the investment to establish a venture capital fund in South Korea, and it expects to use the remaining $0.2 million for working capital purposes. The Company’s $2.0 million will be part of a larger, Korean government-backed venture fund that is expected to raise approximately $30 million in its first round of financing by early 2010. TOZAI Holdings Inc. (“TOZAI”), a company traded on the Korean Kosdaq stock market under the symbol “037700” with successful experience in investing in high-technology ventures in Korea, is facilitating the Korean government licensing and funding.

 

The $2.0 million was paid into an escrow account until the venture capital fund is formed in early 2010. The Company has agreed to issue to Inter Asset Japan LBO No. 1 Fund 55,559,633 shares of its common stock at $.04 per share in exchange for the investment described above.

 

The venture fund is expected to facilitate high-tech manufacturing of solar, LCD, and touch panels in Korea. This is the Company’s first step toward strengthening its position in global technical, financial, energy, and commodity markets. TOZAI and the Company intend to partner to build a solid foundation that utilizes the low-cost, highly skilled technology base in Korea to capture emerging business opportunities worldwide.

 

SOLD EQUITY INVESTMENT IN SLATE CONSULTING CO. LTD.

 

In Japan, the Company had an equity investment in Slate Consulting Co Ltd (“Slate”), a Japanese executive search firm with operations in Tokyo and a call center in Manila, Philippines.

 

17



For the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded a loss and gain on our investment in Slate of $16,298 and $48,445, respectively, that decreased and increased our investment in Slate, respectively.

 

On December 16, 2009, the Company sold its 20.25% interest in Slate to Ray Pedersen, Chief Executive Officer of Slate. The Company, in return for this equity investment, received the return of 1 million shares of IA Global shares valued at $.03 per share, the closing price on December 18, 2009, and a commitment for approximately $55,000 in cash to be paid installments by July 2010. As of February 16, 2010, Slate has paid $5,000.The Company reported an impairment loss as a result of the sale of approximately $1,285,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2009. The $55,000 due from Slate was recorded as other current assets as of December 31, 2009. The Company’s sold its 20.5% share in Slate because it had a diminished value, after weighing several indicators such as the lack of control, decline in current business environment due to negative economic changes in the country and world, continued lack of producing meaningful profitable operations even after the implementation of new business strategies.

On April 1, 2009, the Company agreed to issue preferred stock (“IAO Preferred Stock”), at $1,000 per share, to ArqueMax Ventures LLC (“AMV”) for $317,000 in the Amendment to Share Exchange Agreement.

 

At AMV’s sole discretion, AMV may either (1) convert some or all of its IAO Preferred Stock into 12,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pro rata at $0.025 per share; or (2) exchange IAO Preferred Stock for 971,458 Taicom Stock owned by the Company pro rata.

18



The Company valued the conversion feature of such Preferred Stock to be $317,000 and recorded a deemed dividend as a result.

 

On January 11, 2010, AMV requested that the $317,000 of IAO Preferred Stock be converted into 12,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The parties are negotiating over the Agreement.

 

JUNE 8, 2009 SERVICES AGREEMENT

 

On June 8, 2009, the Company entered into a Services Agreement with AMV. Pursuant to this agreement, AMV agreed to provide aggregate funds in cash of $300,000 in exchange for IA Global Convertible Senior Debentures (“Debentures”) that carry a 12% interest rate and were due December 8, 2009. The Debentures were convertible into 10,000,000 shares of IAO Common Stock at $0.030 per share immediately upon issuance. In the event Company was not able to repay the principal amount plus accrued interest by December 8, 2009, AMV had the right to convert such Debentures into (1) the proportionate number of shares of the Company’s common stock, or (2) exchange 940,121 shares of Taicom Preferred Class B stock owned by the Company on a pro rata basis. The $300,000 in funding was to be paid in five independent tranches.

 

On July 17, 2009 and September 28, 2009, AMV notified us that we were in default under the June 8, 2009 Services Agreement and as a result did not fund the $60,000 due on each of June 30, 2009, July 15, 2009 and July 31, 2009. However, the Company asserted that AMV was late in providing funding as required under the agreement.

 

The Company recorded interest expense of $120,000 attributed to the valuation of the beneficial conversion feature on the Debentures.

 

On October 30, 2009, the Company agreed to issue 4,000,000 shares of its common stock to AMV based on the $120,000 in aggregate funds provided by AMV under the agreement.

 

On November 16, 2009, but effective August 4, 2009, AMV claimed ownership of our shares in Taicom. This resulted in a loss on investment of approximately $2,861,000. The parties continue to negotiate over the April 1, 2009 and June 8, 2009 Amendment to Share Exchange and June 8, 2009 Services Agreements.

The financing arrangement entered into by IA Global and Ascendiant is commonly referred to as an “equity line of credit” or an “equity drawdown facility.”

 

Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Ascendiant will not be obligated to purchase shares of IA Global’s common stock unless and until certain conditions are met, including but not limited to (i) approval of the transaction by the NYSE AMEX, which has not been received as of February 16, 2010, and (ii) the Company makes its best efforts to file by November 13, 2009 and the SEC declares effective by January 27, 2010 a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) registering Ascendiant’s resale of any shares purchased by it under the equity drawdown facility. The customary terms and conditions associated with Ascendiant’s registration rights are set forth in a Registration Rights Agreement that was also entered into by the parties on September 29, 2009.

 

If and when the SEC declares the Registration Statement effective, IA Global will have the right to sell and issue to Ascendiant, and Ascendiant will be obligated to purchase from IA Global, up to $5,000,000 worth of shares of the Company’s common stock over a 24-month period beginning on such date (the “Commitment Period”). IA Global will be entitled to sell such shares from time to time during the Commitment Period by delivering a draw down notice to Ascendiant. In such draw down notices, IA Global will be required to specify the dollar amount of shares that it intends to sell to Ascendiant, which will be spread over a nine-trading-day pricing period. For each draw, IA Global will be required to deliver the shares sold to Ascendiant in three installments (following the third, sixth and ninth trading days in the pricing period, respectively). Ascendiant is entitled to liquidated damages in connection with certain delays in the delivery of its shares.

 

The Securities Purchase Agreement also provides for the following terms and conditions:

The Securities Purchase Agreement also contains certain representations and warranties of IA Global and Ascendiant, including customary investment-related representations provided by Ascendiant, as well as acknowledgements by Ascendiant that it has reviewed certain disclosures of the Company (including the periodic reports that the Company has filed with the SEC) and that the Company’s issuance of the shares has not been registered with the SEC or qualified under any state securities laws.

NOTE 12. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

LEGAL PROCEEDING – GLOBAL HOTLINE

 

As has been previously disclosed, the Company pledged its shares of Global Hotline as collateral for certain loans borrowed from H Capital, an unlicensed Japanese lender, for such subsidiary. On May 26, 2009, Global Hotline and IA Global received notices from H Capital demanding repayment of the loans. On May 27, 2009, Global Hotline and SG Telecom did not repay the loans as requested by H Capital. On June 2, 2009, H Capital submitted documents claiming ownership of the Company’s 600 shares of Global Hotline. Global Hotline’s management previously provided the Company’s stock certificates to H Capital in March 2009.

 

Although the Company has engaged Japanese corporate counsel to challenge the validity of the loans and H Capital’s claims with respect to the Company’s ownership of Global Hotline, these events have resulted in IA Global losing control over the day-to-day management and operations of Global Hotline. In addition, we no longer have access to the financial records of Global Hotline that are necessary to periodically report our financial position and results of operations as a consolidated subsidiary of IA Global.

 

On December 8, 2009, the Company deconsolidated the operations of Global Hotline, effective as of July 1, 2009. As a result, the Company accounted for Global Hotline as a discontinued operation for periods ending after July 1, 2009. Our reported net profit (loss) improved by $10.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and our stockholders’ deficit as of December 31, 2009 decreased by $10.1 million as a result of recording the deferred gain from the forfeiture of Global Hotline operations that was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2009.

 

The Company’s decision to deconsolidate Global Hotline is not a relinquishment of their claim of ownership of Global Hotline. The Company has engaged Japanese legal counsel and intends to vigorously pursue their legal right with regards to ownership. Management, based on their consultation with Japanese legal counsel, is unable to determine the outcome of this dispute H Capital.

 

Concurrent with Company’s deconsolidation of Global Hotline, management has determined that any obligations that may arise from Global Hotline, that existed prior, or subsequent, to their decision to deconsolidate, is not an obligation of the Company.

 

27



Prior to December 8, 2009 Global Hotline had significant liabilities to Japanese banks in excess of approximately $12,000,000. These loans were unsecured and personally guaranteed by either the CEO or CFO of Global Hotline. In addition to theses bank loans, Global Hotline had payroll, social insurance and other tax liabilities of approximately 800,000,000 Yen, or approximately $9.0 million at current exchange rates, as of September 30, 2009.

 

The status of Global Hotlines bank loans and tax liabilities is unknown subsequent to December 8, 2009. In addition, the status of other trade debt, or any debt or obligation of Global Hotline is unknown subsequent to December 8, 2009. In addition to debt, Global Hotline has obligation under various operating leases, the status of which is unknown subsequent to December 8, 2009.

 

Global Hotline has revenue contracts requiring performance for their various vendors. The status of performance, or any liability for non-performance, is unknown subsequent to December 8, 2009.

 

With regards to the above referenced liabilities, or potential liabilities of Global Hotline, management of the Company along with their Japanese legal counsel, has determined that the Company has no legal obligation for these liabilities or potential liabilities. Assertions against the Company for Global Hotline liabilities, or potential liabilities, might be sustained. The Company intends to defend themselves against any assertions related to liabilities, or potential liabilities, resulting from Global Hotline prior to, or subsequent to, December 8, 2009. The Company has not accrued for any liabilities related to Global Hotline as of September 30, 2009.

 

LEGAL PROCEEDING – AMV

 

On April 1, 2009, the Company agreed to issue preferred stock (“IAO Preferred Stock”), at $1,000 per share, to ArqueMax Ventures LLC (“AMV”) for $317,000 in the Amendment to Share Exchange Agreement. On January 11, 2010, AMV requested that the $317,000 of IAO Preferred Stock be converted into 12,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

At AMV’s sole discretion, AMV may either (1) convert some or all of its IAO Preferred Stock into 12,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pro rata at $0.025 per share; or (2) exchange IAO Preferred Stock for 971,458 Taicom Stock owned by the Company pro rata. The conversion of IAO Preferred Stock intoTaicom Stock is automatically triggered in the case of certain events, including delisting from NYSE AMEX, bankruptcy or insolvency. On July 17, 2009 and September 28, 2009, AMV notified us that we were in default under the June 8, 2009 Services Agreement (“Agreement”) and as a result did not fund the $60,000 due June 30, 2009, July 15, 2009 and July 31, 2009. However, AMV was late in funding as required by the Agreement. On October 30, 2009, the Company agreed to issue 4,000,000 shares based on the $120,000 in funded under this Agreement.

 

On November 16, 2009, but effective August 4, 2009, AMV claimed ownership of our shares in Taicom. This resulted in a loss on investment of approximately $2,861,000. The parties continue to negotiate over the April 1, 2009 and June 8, 2009 Amendment to Share Exchange and June 8, 2009 Services Agreements.

INTRODUCTION

 

During the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, we had approximately in $.1 million and $.5 million in revenues, respectively. During the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, we had approximately $.6 million and $0 million in revenues, respectively. During the nine months ended December 31, 2009, we had an approximate $.6million net profit as compared to a $3.9 million net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2008. During the years ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, we had approximately $20.2 million and $7.1 million in net losses, respectively.

 

On December 8, 2009, the Company deconsolidated the operations of Global Hotline, effective as of July 1, 2009. As a result, the Company accounted for Global Hotline as a discontinued operation for periods ending after July 1, 2009. Our reported net profit (loss) improved by $10.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and our stockholders’ deficit as of December 31, 2009 decreased by $10.1 million as a result of recording the deferred gain from the forfeiture of Global Hotline operations that was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2009.

 

Certain recent developments relating to our recent efforts to generate additional liquidity, including through sales of our common stock, are described in more detail in the notes to the financial statements included in this report.

 

DECONSOLIDATION OF GLOBAL HOTLINE, INC.

 

As has been previously disclosed, the Company pledged its shares of Global Hotline as collateral for certain loans borrowed from H Capital, an unlicensed Japanese lender, by such subsidiary. On May 26, 2009, Global Hotline and IA Global received notices from H Capital demanding repayment of the loans. On May 27, 2009, Global Hotline and SG Telecom did not repay the loans as requested by H Capital. On June 9, 2009, H Capital submitted documents claiming ownership of the Company’s 600 shares of Global Hotline. Global Hotline’s management previously provided the Company’s stock certificates to H Capital in March 2009.

 

Although the Company has engaged Japanese corporate counsel to challenge the validity of the loans and H Capital’s claims with respect to the Company’s ownership of Global Hotline, these events have resulted in IA Global losing control over the day-to-day management and operations of Global Hotline. In addition, we no longer have access to the financial records of Global Hotline that are necessary to periodically report our financial position and results of operations as a consolidated subsidiary of IA Global.

 

On December 8, 2009, the Company deconsolidated the operations of Global Hotline, effective as of July 1, 2009. As a result, the Company accounted for Global Hotline as a discontinued operation for periods ending after July 1, 2009. Our reported net profit (loss) improved by $10.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and our stockholders’ deficit as of December 31, 2009 decreased by $10.1 million as a result of recording the deferred gain from the forfeiture of Global Hotline operations that was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2009.

 

Set forth below are unaudited pro forma financial statements reflecting management’s decision to deconsolidate the operations of Global Hotline. These pro forma financial statements may not be indicative of how future financial statements will appear, regardless of the outcome of the Company’s dispute with H Capital. The Company will continue to pursue its civil claim against H Capital, and we are also exploring alternative structures through which we can pursue IA Global’s interest in the Japanese BPO business.

THE COMPANY AND OUR BUSINESS

 

We are a global services company. The Company has historically had a strong presence in the Pacific Rim region and a dedicated focus on leveraging its existing business with complementary opportunities through a merger and acquisition strategy. The Company’s mission is to identify and invest in business opportunities, apply its skills and resources to nurture and enhance the performance of those businesses across key business metrics, and to deliver accelerating shareholder value.

In addition, the Company expects to leverage our Asian presence with US-based companies and investors seeking to expand their Asian presence.

Each entity will need to obtain additional financing in order to continue our current operations, service our debt repayments and acquire businesses. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure funding, or that if such funding is available, whether the terms or conditions would be acceptable to us.

 

Volatility and disruption of financial markets could affect our access to credit. The current difficult economic market environment is causing contraction in the availability of credit in the marketplace. This could potentially reduce or eliminate the sources of liquidity for the Company.

 

If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing, we may need to restructure our operations, divest all or a portion of our business or file for bankruptcy.

 

Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through sales of our equity securities in our initial public offering and from several private placements, loans and capital contributions, primarily from related parties. Net cash proceeds from these items have totaled approximately $23.9 million as of December 31, 2009, with approximately $8.8 million raised in the initial public offering, $11.6 million raised in private placements and $4.0 million raised in the conversion of debt, offset by $0.7 million used for the share repurchase program. In addition, we have issued equity for non-cash items totaling $32.3 million, including $7.0 million from the ASFL equity investment, $4.1 million from the Taicom equity investment, $1.4 million each from the GPlus and Slate equity investments, $.3 and $.2 million related to the Asia Premier and Shift acquisition, respectively, $7.2 million issued for services, $3.6 million related to a beneficial conversion feature, $4.0 million from debenture conversions, and $3.1 million related to the GHI acquisition. Additional funding was obtained from notes payable and long term debt of approximately $.6 million.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

The application of GAAP involves the exercise of varying degrees of judgment. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that of our significant accounting policies (see summary of significant accounting policies more fully described in Note 2 to the financial statements set forth in this report), the following policies involve a higher degree of judgment and/or complexity:

 

INCOME TAXES

 

We are subject to income taxes in both the U.S. and foreign (Japan and Philippines) jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. We recorded a valuation for the deferred tax assets from our net operating losses carried forward in the US due to IA Global, Inc. not demonstrating any consistent profitable operations. In the event that the actual results differ from these estimates or we adjust these estimates in future periods, we may need to adjust the recorded valuation.

 

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Effective January 1, 2006, we began recording compensation expense associated with stock-based awards and other forms of equity compensation in accordance with the accounting guidance as interpreted by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. We adopted the modified prospective transition method provided for under the accounting guidance and consequently has not retroactively adjusted results from prior periods. Under this transition method, compensation cost associated with stock-based awards recognized in 2006 includes 1) quarterly amortization related to the remaining unvested portion of stock-based awards granted prior to December 15, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the accounting guidance; and 2) quarterly amortization related to stock-based awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of the accounting guidance. In addition, we record expense over the vesting period in connection with stock options granted. The compensation expense for stock-based awards includes an estimate for forfeitures and is recognized over the expected term of the award on a straight line basis.

 

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

 

The following factors, in addition to the other information contained in this report, should be considered carefully in evaluating us and our prospects. This report (including without limitation the following factors that may affect operating results) contains forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act) regarding us and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions or variations of such words are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements in this report. Additionally, statements concerning future matters such as the development of new products, enhancements or technologies, projections of revenues and profitability, possible changes in legislation and other statements regarding matters that are not historical are forward-looking statements.

 

THE COMPANY COULD BE EXPOSED TO LEGAL CLAIMS, AND THE OUTCOME OF ANY DISPUTES RESULTING FROM SUCH CLAIMS COULD ADVERSED AFFECT THE COMPANY’S FINANCIAL CONDITION OR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

LEGAL PROCEEDING – GLOBAL HOTLINE

 

As has been previously disclosed, the Company pledged its shares of Global Hotline as collateral for certain loans borrowed from H Capital, an unlicensed Japanese lender, for such subsidiary. On May 26, 2009, Global Hotline and IA Global received notices from H Capital demanding repayment of the loans. On May 27, 2009, Global Hotline and SG Telecom did not repay the loans as requested by H Capital. On June 2, 2009, H Capital submitted documents claiming ownership of the Company’s 600 shares of Global Hotline. Global Hotline’s management previously provided the Company’s stock certificates to H Capital in March 2009.

 

Although the Company has engaged Japanese corporate counsel to challenge the validity of the loans and H Capital’s claims with respect to the Company’s ownership of Global Hotline, these events have resulted in IA Global losing control over the day-to-day management and operations of Global Hotline. In addition, we no longer have access to the financial records of Global Hotline that are necessary to periodically report our financial position and results of operations as a consolidated subsidiary of IA Global.

 

41



On December 8, 2009, the Company deconsolidated the operations of Global Hotline, effective as of July 1, 2009. As a result, the Company accounted for Global Hotline as a discontinued operation for periods ending after July 1, 2009. Our reported net profit (loss) will improve by $10.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and our stockholders’ deficit as of December 31, 2009 will decrease by $10.1 million as a result of recording the deferred gain from the forfeiture of Global Hotline operations that was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2009.

 

The Company’s decision to deconsolidate Global Hotline is not a relinquishment of their claim of ownership of Global Hotline. The Company has engaged Japanese legal counsel and intends to vigorously pursue their legal right with regards to ownership. Management, based on their consultation with Japanese legal counsel, is unable to determine the outcome of this dispute H Capital.

 

Concurrent with Company’s deconsolidation of Global Hotline, management has determined that any obligations that may arise from Global Hotline, that existed prior, or subsequent, to their decision to deconsolidate, is not an obligation of the Company.

 

Prior to December 8, 2009 Global Hotline had significant liabilities to Japanese banks in excess of approximately $12,000,000. These loans were unsecured and personally guaranteed by either the CEO or CFO of Global Hotline. In addition to theses bank loans, Global Hotline had payroll, social insurance and other tax liabilities at of approximately 800,000,000 Yen, or approximately $9.0 million at current exchange rates, as of September 30, 2009.

 

The status of Global Hotlines bank loans and tax liabilities is unknown subsequent to December 8, 2009. In addition, the status of other trade debt, or any debt or obligation of Global Hotline is unknown subsequent to December 8, 2009. In addition to debt, Global Hotline has obligation under various operating leases, the status of which is unknown subsequent to December 8, 2009.

 

Global Hotline has revenue contracts requiring performance for their various vendors. The status of performance, or any liability for non-performance, is unknown subsequent to December 8, 2009.

 

With regards to the above referenced liabilities, or potential liabilities of Global Hotline, management of the Company along with their Japanese legal counsel, has determined that the Company has no legal obligation for these liabilities or potential liabilities. Assertions against the Company for Global Hotline liabilities, or potential liabilities, might be sustained. The Company intends to defend themselves against any assertions related to liabilities, or potential liabilities, resulting from Global Hotline prior to, or subsequent to, December 8, 2009. The Company has not accrued for any liabilities related to Global Hotline as of September 30, 2009.

 

LEGAL PROCEEDING – AMV

 

On April 1, 2009, the Company agreed to issue preferred stock (“IAO Preferred Stock”), at $1,000 per share, to AMV for $317,000 in the Amendment to Share Exchange Agreement. On January 11, 2010, AMV requested that the $317,000 of IAO Preferred Stock be converted into 12,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

At AMV’s sole discretion, AMV may either (1) convert some or all of its IAO Preferred Stock into 12,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pro rata at $0.025 per share; or (2) exchange IAO Preferred Stock for 971,458 Taicom Stock owned by the Company pro rata. The conversion of IAO Preferred Stock intoTaicom Stock is automatically triggered in the case of certain events, including delisting from NYSE AMEX, bankruptcy or insolvency. On July 17, 2009 and September 28, 2009, AMV notified us that we were in default under the June 8, 2009 Services Agreement (“Agreement”) and as a result did not fund the $60,000 due June 30, 2009, July 15, 2009 and July 31, 2009. However, AMV was late in funding as required by the Agreement. On October 30, 2009, the Company agreed to issue 4,000,000 shares based on the $120,000 in funded under this Agreement.

 

On November 16, 2009, but effective August 4, 2009, AMV claimed ownership of our shares in Taicom. This resulted in a loss on investment of approximately $2,861,000. The parties continue to negotiate over the April 1, 2009 and June 8, 2009 Amendment to Share Exchange and June 8, 2009 Services Agreements.

 

42



WE WILL NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING TO SUPPORT OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY (WHICH INCLUDES ACQUIRING OR INVESTING IN NEW BUSINESSES) AND ONGOING OPERATIONS

 

Each entity within our business will need to obtain additional financing in order to continue our current operations, service our debt repayments and acquire businesses. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure funding, or that if such funding is available, the terms or conditions would be acceptable to us. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing, we may need to restructure our operations, divest all or a portion of our business or file for bankruptcy by GHI and/or IA Global.

 

Our recent efforts to generate additional liquidity, including through sales of our common stock, are described in more detail in the financial statement notes set forth in this report.

 

If we raise additional capital through borrowing or other debt financing, we will incur substantial interest expense. Sales of additional equity securities will dilute on a pro rata basis the percentage ownership of all holders of common stock. When we raise more equity capital in the future, it will result in substantial dilution to our current stockholders.

 

OUR LEVEL OF INDEBTEDNESS AND THE TERMS OF OUR FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Our level of indebtedness and the terms of our financing arrangements could result in or contribute to:

 

 

a bankruptcy filing by IA Global;

 

a default under the loan agreements;

 

a collateral call by a lender, including the loss of our Global Hotline subsidiary;

 

lawsuits with lenders;

 

our inability to obtain additional financing to support capital expansion plans and for working capital and other purposes on acceptable terms or at all;

 

a diversion of substantial cash flow from our operations and expansion plans in order to service our debt obligations; and/or

 

a competitive disadvantage compared to less leveraged competitors and competitors that have better access to capital resources.

Our ability to make scheduled payments on our debt and other fixed obligations will depend on our future operating performance and cash flows, which in turn will depend on prevailing economic and political conditions and financial, competitive, regulatory, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

 

Our ability to renegotiate the terms of our loans will depend on our negotiations with our Japanese banks and H Capital.

 

We are principally dependent upon our operating cash flows to fund our operations and to make scheduled payments on debt and other fixed obligations. We cannot assure you that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flows from our operations to pay our debt and other fixed obligations as they become due, and if we fail to do so our business could be harmed. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing or renegotiate the terms of our loans, we may need to restructure our operations, divest all or a portion of our business, provide the Global Hotline business in a collateral call or file for bankruptcy.

 

43



WE ARE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH CERTAIN NYSE AMEX REQUIREMENTS FOR CONTINUED LISTING

 

On December 23, 2009, the Company received notice that the NYSE AMEX Stock Exchange (“NYSE AMEX”) has determined to proceed with an application to the Securities and Exchange Commission to remove the Company’s common stock from listing and registration on NYSE AMEX. This determination, which the Company has appealed, was made in light of the Company’s failure to comply with certain standards for continued listing on NYSE AMEX set forth in Part 10 of the NYSE AMEX Company Guide. Specifically, the Company is not in compliance with (i) Section 1003(a)(i) of the Company Guide, since its total shareholders’ equity is less than $2 million and the Company has reported losses from continuing operations and net losses in two out of the three most recent fiscal years; (ii) Section 1003(a)(ii) of the Company Guide, since its total shareholders’ equity is less than $4 million and the Company has reported losses from continuing operations and net losses in three out of the four most recent fiscal years; (iii) Section 1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide, since its total shareholders’ equity is less than $6 million and the Company has reported losses from continuing operations and net losses in the five most recent fiscal years; and (iv) Section 1003(a)(iv) of the Company Guide, since the Company sustained losses so substantial in relation to its overall operations or its existing financial resources or its financial condition has become so impaired that is appears questionable, in the opinion of the NYSE AMEX, that the Company will be able to continue operations and/or meet its obligations as they mature.

 

In order to maintain its listing on NYSE AMEX, the Company submitted a plan on October 26, 2009, which was subsequently amended on November 5, 2009, that addressed how it intended to regain compliance with Section 1003(a)(iv) of the Company Guide by March 25, 2010 and Section 1003(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) of the Company Guide by March 25, 2011. The Company would be subject to periodic review by NYSE AMEX staff during the extension period.

 

In the notice received by the Company on December 23, 2009, NYSE AMEX indicated that it believes that the Company’s financial condition, low selling price and lack of definitive documentation do not support the Company’s plan to regain compliance by March 25, 2011. On December 30, 2009, the Company appealed the NYSE AMEX staff’s determination and an oral hearing was held on February 17, 2010 to present our plan and discuss the Company’s progress towards achieving the goals set forth in the plan, including the Company’s intent to regain compliance with NYSE AMEX rules by March 25, 2011. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade on NYSE AMEX while the Company’s appeal is pending.

 

The Company also received a deficiency letter from NYSE AMEX on July 10, 2009. In this letter, NYSE AMEX staff determined that the Company’s securities had been selling for a low price per share for a substantial period of time and, pursuant to Section 1003(f)(v) of the Company Guide, the Company’s continued listing was predicated on it effecting a reverse stock split of its common stock by January 11, 2010. In response to the deficiency letter and in accordance with guidance provided by NYSE AMEX’s staff, the Company asked its stockholders to give the board of directors discretion to effect a reverse stock split within a prescribed range of ratios. Such proposal was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2009 Annual Meeting on December 18, 2009. This reverse stock split is expected to be considered after the completion of the appeal process.

 

Pursuant to Section 1003(c)(i) of the Company Guide, NYSE AMEX will consider delisting a security where an issuer has disposed of its principal operating assets. On December 8, 2009, the Company deconsolidated the operations of Global Hotline, effective as of July 1, 2009. As a result, the Company accounted for Global Hotline as a discontinued operation for periods ending after July 1, 2009. Our reported net profit (loss) improved by $10.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and our stockholders’ deficit as of December 31, 2009 decreased by $10.1 million as a result of recording the deferred gain from the forfeiture of Global Hotline operations that was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2009.

 

There is no guarantee that the Company will be successful at maintaining its NYSE AMEX listing. If our securities are delisted from NYSE AMEX, we believe they will be quoted for trading on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”), which may depress demand for our shares and limit market liquidity due to the reluctance or inability of certain investors to buy stocks on the OTCBB. Consequently, an investor may find it more difficult to trade our securities, which may adversely affect the ability to resell securities purchased from the selling stockholders.

 

WE ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER THE JUNE 8, 2009 SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH ARQUEMAX VENTURES, LLC

 

On April 1, 2009, the Company agreed to issue preferred stock (“IAO Preferred Stock”), at $1,000 per share, to AMV for $317,000 in the Amendment to Share Exchange Agreement. On January 11, 2010, AMV requested that the $317,000 of IAO Preferred Stock be converted into 12,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

44



At AMV’s sole discretion, AMV may either (1) convert some or all of its IAO Preferred Stock into 12,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pro rata at $0.025 per share; or (2) exchange IAO Preferred Stock for 971,458 Taicom Stock owned by the Company pro rata. The conversion of IAO Preferred Stock intoTaicom Stock is automatically triggered in the case of certain events, including delisting from NYSE AMEX, bankruptcy or insolvency. On July 17, 2009 and September 28, 2009, AMV notified us that we were in default under the June 8, 2009 Services Agreement (“Agreement”) and as a result did not fund the $60,000 due June 30, 2009, July 15, 2009 and July 31, 2009. However, AMV was late in funding as required by the Agreement. On October 30, 2009, the Company agreed to issue 4,000,000 shares based on the $120,000 in funded under this Agreement.

 

On November 16, 2009, but effective August 4, 2009, AMV claimed ownership of our shares in Taicom. This resulted in a loss on investment of approximately $2,861,000. The parties continue to negotiate over the April 1, 2009 and June 8, 2009 Amendment to Share Exchange and June 8, 2009 Services Agreements.

 

DECLINING GENERAL ECONOMIC, BUSINESS, OR INDUSTRY CONDITIONS MAY CAUSE REDUCED REVENUES AND PROFITABILITY

 

Recently, concerns over inflation, energy costs, geopolitical issues, the availability and cost of credit, the U.S. mortgage market and a declining real estate market in the U.S. have contributed to increased volatility and diminished expectations for the global economy and expectations of slower global economic growth going forward. These factors, combined with volatile oil prices, declining business and consumer confidence and increased unemployment, have precipitated an a recession. If the economic climate in the U.S. or abroad does not improve from its current condition or continues to deteriorate, our customers or potential customers could reduce or delay their purchases of our products, which would adversely impact our revenues and our ability to manage inventory levels, collect customer receivables and ultimately our profitability.

 

Volatility and disruption of financial markets could affect our access to credit. The current difficult economic market environment has caused contraction in the availability of credit in the marketplace. This could potentially reduce or eliminate sources of liquidity for the Company.

 

OUR CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDER GROUP HAS SUBSTANTIAL INFLUENCE OVER OUR COMPANY

 

As of December 31, 2010, IAJ LBO Fund, PBAA Fund Limited, Terra Firma, Inter Asset Japan Co Ltd (“IAJ”), IA Turkey and Hiroki Isobe, (collectively, the “Controlling Shareholders”) collectively hold approximately 49.8% of our common stock. These Controlling Shareholders have stated in a Schedule 13D that they may be deemed to constitute a “group” for the purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. Hiroki Isobe controls each of our Controlling Shareholders.

 

IAJ could cause a change of control of our board of directors if in combination with another large shareholder elects candidates of their choice to the board at a shareholder meeting, and approve or disapprove any matter requiring stockholder approval, regardless of how our other shareholders may vote. Further, under Delaware law, IAJ could have a significant influence over our affairs, if in combination with another large shareholder, including the power to cause, delay or prevent a change in control or sale of the Company, which in turn could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

THE SALE OF A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF OUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK COULD DEPRESS THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK

 

Sales or issuances of a large number of shares of common stock (including pursuant to the equity line of credit transaction that we recently entered into with Ascendiant Capital Group, LLC, which is described in more detail elsewhere in this prospectus) in the public market or the perception that sales may occur could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. As of February 16, 2010, there were 303.1 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Significant shares of common stock are held by our principal shareholders, other Company insiders and other large shareholders. As “affiliates” (as defined under Rule 144 of the Securities Act (“Rule 144”)) of the Company, our principal shareholders, other Company insiders and other large shareholders may only sell their shares of common stock in the public market pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with Rule 144.

THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE VOLATILE

 

The market price of our common stock has been and is likely in the future to be volatile. Our common stock price may fluctuate in response to factors such as:

 

 

A bankruptcy filing by IA Global,

 

Announcements by us regarding liquidity, significant acquisitions, equity investments and divestitures, strategic relationships, addition or loss of significant customers and contracts, capital expenditure commitments, loan, note payable and agreement defaults, loss of our subsidiaries and impairment of assets and our NYSE AMEX listing,

 

Issuance of convertible or equity securities for general or merger and acquisition purposes,

 

Issuance or repayment of debt, accounts payable or convertible debt for general or merger and acquisition purposes,

 

Alleged manipulation of our stock price,

 

Sale of a significant number of our common stock by shareholders,

 

General market and economic conditions,

 

Quarterly variations in our operating results,

 

Defending significant litigation,

 

Investor relation activities,

 

Announcements of technological innovations,

 

New product introductions by us or our competitors,

 

Competitive activities,

 

Additions or departures of key personnel,

 

Issuance of loans to customers or related or affiliated parties, and

 

Foreign exchange gains and losses.

These broad market and industry factors may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT WITH ASCENDIANT CAPITAL GROUP, LLC

 

If the price or the trading volume of our common stock does not reach certain levels, we will be unable to draw down all or substantially all of our $5,000,000 equity line of credit with Ascendiant Capital Group, LLC, which may force us to significantly curtail the scope of our operations or alter our business plan.

 

The maximum draw down amount every 11 trading days under our equity line of credit facility is the lesser of $250,000 or 15% of the total trading volume of our common stock for the 10-trading-day period prior to the draw down multiplied by the volume-weighted average price of our common stock for such period. If our stock price and trading volume remain at current levels, we will not be able to draw down all $5,000,000 available under the equity line of credit and we may be forced to curtail the scope of our operations or alter our business plan if other financing is not available to us.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

 

We were exposed to foreign currency risks due to our operations in Japan and the Philippines and our proposed investment in Korea. We do not trade in hedging instruments or “other than trading” instruments and we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risks.

 

INTEREST RATE RISK

 

We are not exposed to interest rate risks. The Company does not trade in hedging instruments or “other than trading” instruments and is exposed to interest rate risks. We believe that the impact of a 10% increase or decline in interest rates would not be material to our financial condition and results of operations.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2009. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that (1) information to be disclosed in reports we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms promulgated under the Exchange Act and (2) information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the principal executive officer and principal financial officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

For information regarding factors that could affect our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, see the risk factors discussed under the heading “Factors That May Affect Future Results” included in Part I, Item 2 (Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, the following represent material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.

 

LOSS OF OPERATIONAL CONTROL OF GLOBAL HOTLINE, INC. AND RELATED DECONSOLIDATION

 

As has been previously disclosed, the Company pledged its shares of Global Hotline as collateral for certain loans borrowed from H Capital, an unlicensed Japanese lender, by such subsidiary. On May 26, 2009, Global Hotline and IA Global received notices from H Capital demanding repayment of the loans. On May 27, 2009, Global Hotline and SG Telecom did not repay the loans as requested by H Capital. On June 9, 2009, H Capital submitted documents claiming ownership of the Company’s 600 shares of Global Hotline. Global Hotline’s management previously provided the Company’s stock certificates to H Capital in March 2009.

 

Although the Company has engaged Japanese corporate counsel to challenge the validity of the loans and H Capital’s claims with respect to the Company’s ownership of Global Hotline, these events have resulted in IA Global losing control over the day-to-day management and operations of Global Hotline. In addition, we no longer have access to the financial records of Global Hotline that are necessary to periodically report our financial position and results of operations as a consolidated subsidiary of IA Global.

 

On December 8, 2009, the Company deconsolidated the operations of Global Hotline, effective as of July 1, 2009. As a result, the Company accounted for Global Hotline as a discontinued operation for periods ending after July 1, 2009. Our reported net profit (loss) improved by $10.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and our stockholders’ deficit as of December 31, 2009 decreased by $10.1 million as a result of recording the deferred gain from the forfeiture of Global Hotline operations that was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2009.

 

47



The Company is pursuing its civil claim against H Capital, and we are also exploring alternative structures through which we can pursue IA Global’s interest in the Japanese BPO business. If the Company is unsuccessful in such efforts, however, it could result in the ultimate loss of the Company’s primary operating subsidiary and a majority of its total assets, and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s overall financial condition and results of operations.

 

POTENTIAL REGULATION UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940

 

Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”), companies that engage primarily in investing or trading in investment securities – or primarily engage in some other business but nevertheless hold investment securities that account for a certain percentage (generally, 40-45%) of their total assets – are considered “investment companies” required to register as such an comply with various regulatory obligations under the Investment Company Act. Shares of majority-owned subsidiaries are not considered “investment securities” for purposes of the Investment Company Act.

 

The Company has structured its business and operations in the past, and intends to continue to structure its business and operations in the future, in a manner that makes it exempt from registration and regulation under the Investment Company Act. If, however, the Company is unsuccessful in maintaining or regaining control over Global Hotline (its primary operating subsidiary), there is a risk that its asset portfolio and nature of operations could at least temporarily be consistent with that of an investment company. According, the Company could be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act in the future. In such event, the Company would be required to register as an investment company and could be expected to incur significant registration and compliance costs. The Company has obtained no formal determination from the SEC as to the status of the Company under the Investment Company Act and, consequently, any violation of the Investment Company Act could subject the Company to material adverse consequences.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2009, the Company made the following sales (or agreed to make future sales) of equity securities pursuant to the exemption from registration provided under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act:

 

PRIVATE PLACEMENTS WITH INTER ASSET JAPAN LBO NO. 1 FUND

 

On August 2, 2009, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (“Agreement 1”) with Inter Asset Japan LBO No 1 Fund, an existing shareholder of the Company (the “Shareholder”). Under the terms of the Agreement 1, the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Shareholder 1,500,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $60,000, or $0.04 per share (the “Purchase Price”). The Company issued and sold the Shares to the Shareholder in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements set forth in the Securities Act provided under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act.

 

Agreement 1 contains certain representations and warranties of the Shareholder and the Company, including customary investment-related representations provided by the Shareholder, as well as acknowledgements by the Shareholder that it has reviewed certain disclosures of the Company (including the periodic reports that the Company has filed with the SEC) and that the Company’s issuance of the Shares has not been registered with the SEC or qualified under any state securities laws. The Company provided customary representations regarding, among other things, its organization, capital structure, subsidiaries, disclosure reports, absence of certain legal or governmental proceedings, financial statements, tax matters, insurance matters, real property and other assets, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

 

Agreement 1 also grants the Shareholder registration rights that it may exercise at its option and provides the Shareholder with a right of first offer if the Company proposes to issue securities in the future (subject to certain customary exceptions). Finally, the Shareholder has the right to demand that the Company redeem all or any portion of the Shares at any time on or after October 31, 2009, for a redemption price equal to the greater of the Purchase Price or the listed market price for the Company’s common stock as of the redemption date.

 

On August 17, 2009, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (“Agreement 2”) with the Shareholder. Under the terms of Agreement 2, the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Shareholder 5,000,000 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000, or $0.04 per share.

 

48



Also under the terms of the Agreement, the Shareholder has committed to purchase, and the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Shareholder, additional shares of the Company’s common stock in accordance with the following schedule:

 

 

2,500,000 shares at a purchase price of US$.04 per share, or an aggregate price of US$100,000 on or before September 4, 2009.

 

 

1,250,000 shares at a purchase price of US$.04 per share, or an aggregate price of US$50,000 on or before September 18, 2009.

 

 

50,000,000 shares at a purchase price of US$.04 per share, or an aggregate price of US$2,000,000 on or before November 10, 2009.

 

The Shareholder’s obligation to purchase the foregoing shares by the date specified is conditioned upon the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Agreement 2 being accurate as of the date of such closing.

 

Finally, the Shareholder had the option, but not the obligation, to purchase, on or before December 31, 2009, an additional 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of US$.04 per share, or an aggregate price of $2,000,000.

 

On November 4, 2009, the Company entered into an Amendment (“Amendment 1”) to Stock Purchase Agreement with the Shareholder. Under the terms of Amendment 1, the Shareholder agreed to not acquire in excess of 19.9% of the Company’s outstanding stock prior to the Annual Stockholder Meeting held on December 18, 2009.

 

On January 26, 2010, the Company received a $250,000 funding commitment under an Amendment to the Stock Purchase Agreement (“Amendment 2”) with the Shareholder. Under the terms of the Amended Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Investor 6,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $250,000, or $0.04 per share.

 

The Shareholder has the option, but not the obligation, to purchase, on or before March 31, 2010, an additional 50,000,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of US$.04 per share, or an aggregate price of US$2,000,000.

 

Finally, the Shareholder has the option, but not the obligation, to purchase, on or before April 30, 2010, an additional 50,000,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of US$.04 per share, or an aggregate price of US$2,000,000, as long as $500,000 has been funded by February 28, 2010.

 

The Company issued and sold the shares of common stock to the Shareholder in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements set forth in the Securities Act provided under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act.

 

Agreement 2 contains certain representations and warranties of the Shareholder and the Company, including customary investment-related representations provided by the Shareholder, as well as acknowledgements by the Shareholder that it has reviewed certain disclosures of the Company (including the periodic reports that the Company has filed with the SEC) and that the Company’s issuance of the shares has not been registered with the SEC or qualified under any state securities laws. The Company provided customary representations regarding, among other things, its organization, capital structure, subsidiaries, disclosure reports, absence of certain legal or governmental proceedings, financial statements, tax matters, insurance matters, real property and other assets, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

 

Agreement 2 also grants the Shareholder registration rights that it may exercise at its option and provides the Shareholder with a right of first offer if the Company proposes to issue securities in the future (subject to certain customary exceptions).

 

Under the terms of its August 2, 2009 and the August 17, 2009 Stock Purchase Agreements with the Investor, as of December 31, 2009, the Company has agreed to issue and sell to the Investor, 71,719,633 shares at a purchase price of $.04 per share, or an aggregate price of $2,868,785. Further, approximately $868,785 of the funds can be used for working capital and the remaining $2,000,000 can be used for investments.

 

49



Under the terms of its August 2, 2009 and the August 17, 2009 Stock Purchase Agreements with the Investor, as of February 16, 2010, the Company has agreed to issue and sell to the Investor, 75,453,383 shares at a purchase price of $.04 per share, or an aggregate price of $3,018,135. Further, approximately $1,018,135 of the funds can be used for working capital and the remaining $2,000,000 can be used for investments.

 

EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT TRANSACTION WITH ASCENDIANT CAPITAL GROUP, LLC

 

On September 29, 2009, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Ascendiant Capital Group, LLC (“Ascendiant”), pursuant to which Ascendiant agreed to purchase up to $5,000,000 worth of shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time over a 24-month period, provided that certain conditions are met. The financing arrangement entered into by IA Global and Ascendiant is commonly referred to as an “equity line of credit” or an “equity drawdown facility.”

 

Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Ascendiant will not be obligated to purchase shares of IA Global’s common stock unless and until certain conditions are met, including but not limited to (i) approval of the transaction by the NYSE AMEX, which has not been received as of February 16, 2010, and (ii) the Company makes its best efforts to file by November 13, 2009 and the SEC declares effective by January 27, 2010 a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) registering Ascendiant’s resale of any shares purchased by it under the equity drawdown facility. The customary terms and conditions associated with Ascendiant’s registration rights are set forth in a Registration Rights Agreement that was also entered into by the parties on September 29, 2009.

 

If and when the SEC declares the Registration Statement effective, IA Global will have the right to sell and issue to Ascendiant, and Ascendiant will be obligated to purchase from IA Global, up to $5,000,000 worth of shares of the Company’s common stock over a 24-month period beginning on such date (the “Commitment Period”). IA Global will be entitled to sell such shares from time to time during the Commitment Period by delivering a draw down notice to Ascendiant. In such draw down notices, IA Global will be required to specify the dollar amount of shares that it intends to sell to Ascendiant, which will be spread over a nine-trading-day pricing period. For each draw, IA Global will be required to deliver the shares sold to Ascendiant in three installments (following the third, sixth and ninth trading days in the pricing period, respectively). Ascendiant is entitled to liquidated damages in connection with certain delays in the delivery of its shares.

 

The Securities Purchase Agreement also provides for the following terms and conditions:

 

 

Purchase Price - 90% of IA Global’s volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”).

 

 

Threshold Price - IA Global may specify a price below which it will not sell shares during the applicable nine-trading-day pricing period. If the purchase price falls below the threshold price on any day(s) during the pricing period, such day(s) will be removed from the pricing period (and Ascendiant’s investment amount will be reduced by 1/9 for each such day).

 

 

Maximum Draw - 15% of IA Global’s total trading volume for the 10-trading-day period immediately preceding the applicable draw down, times the average VWAP during such period (but in no event more than $250,000).

 

 

Minimum Draw - None.

 

 

Minimum Time Between Draw Down Pricing Periods - Two trading days.

 

 

Minimum Use of Facility - IA Global is obligated to sell at least $1,000,000 worth of shares of its common stock to Ascendiant during the Commitment Period.

 

 

Commitment Fees - Upon NYSE AMEX approval, IA Global will be obligated to issue 2,371,917 shares of its common stock to Ascendiant ($125,000 worth of shares based on the Company’s closing bid price on the trading day immediately prior to the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement). If and when the SEC declares the Registration Statement effective, IA Global will be obligated to issue another $125,000 worth of shares of its common stock in four installments over a period of 90 days following the effectiveness date.

 

50



 

Other Fees and Expenses – On October 21, 2009, the Company issued 400,000 shares of common stock valued at $10,000 under the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan as compensation to Ascendiant’s legal counsel for the legal fees and expenses it incurred in connection with negotiating and documenting the equity line of credit. Pursuant to separate agreements, IA Global has also agreed to pay an aggregate of 3.0% in finder’s fees (to be paid in connection with each draw down).

 

 

Indemnification - Ascendiant is entitled to customary indemnification from IA Global for any losses or liabilities it suffers as a result of any breach by IA Global of any provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement, or as a result of any lawsuit brought by any stockholder of IA Global (except stockholders who are officers, directors or principal stockholders of IA Global).

 

 

Conditions to Ascendiant’s Obligation to Purchase Shares - Trading in IA Global’s common stock must not be suspended by the SEC or the NYSE AMEX (or other applicable trading market); IA Global must not have experienced a material adverse effect; all liquidated damages and other amounts owing to Ascendiant must be paid in full; the Registration Statement must be effective with respect to Ascendiant’s resale of all shares purchased under the equity drawdown facility; there must be a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of IA Global common stock; and the issuance must not cause Ascendiant to own more than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of IA Global common stock, or more than 19.9% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding on September 29, 2009 to have been issued under the equity drawdown facility (without shareholder approval).

 

 

Termination - The Securities Purchase Agreement will terminate if IA Global’s common stock is not listed on one of several specified trading markets (which include the NYSE AMEX, OTC Bulletin Board and Pink Sheets, among others); if IA Global files for protection from its creditors; or if the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC by June 29, 2010. IA Global may terminate the Securities Purchase Agreement if Ascendiant fails to fund a draw down within 10 trading days after the end of the applicable settlement period, or if the SEC provides comments on the Registration Statement requiring certain changes in the transaction structure and/or documents.

 

The Securities Purchase Agreement also contains certain representations and warranties of IA Global and Ascendiant, including customary investment-related representations provided by Ascendiant, as well as acknowledgements by Ascendiant that it has reviewed certain disclosures of the Company (including the periodic reports that the Company has filed with the SEC) and that the Company’s issuance of the shares has not been registered with the SEC or qualified under any state securities laws. IA Global provided customary representations regarding, among other things, its organization, capital structure, subsidiaries, disclosure reports, absence of certain legal or governmental proceedings, financial statements, tax matters, insurance matters, real property and other assets, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. IA Global’s representations and warranties are qualified in their entirety (to the extent applicable) by the Company’s disclosures in the reports it files with the SEC. IA Global also delivered confidential disclosure schedules qualifying certain of its representations and warranties in connection with executing and delivering the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

The shares to be issued by IA Global to Ascendiant under the Securities Purchase Agreement will be issued in private placements in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements set forth in the Securities Act provided for in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and the rules promulgated by the SEC thereunder.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

Reference is also made to our dispute with H Capital regarding IA Global’s and GHI’s obligations to such entity under certain loan agreements.
