PROSPECTUS

GEOSPATIAL HOLDINGS, INC.

17,239,577 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

This prospectus relates to the resale by the selling security holders identified in this prospectus of up to 17,239,577 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”). All of these shares, when sold, will be sold by these selling security holders. The selling security holders may sell these shares from time to time in the open market at prevailing prices or in individually negotiated transactions, through agents designated from time to time or through underwriters or dealers. We will not control or determine the price at which the selling security holders decide to sell their shares. There are no minimum purchase requirements. The selling security holders and any participating broker-dealers may be deemed “underwriters” of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock which they are offering within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, the “Securities Act”), and any commissions or discounts given to any such broker-dealer may be regarded as underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The selling security holders have informed us that they do not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute their Common Stock. Brokers or dealers effecting transactions in shares of the Company’s Common Stock should confirm the registration of these securities under the securities laws of the states in which transactions occur or the existence of our exemption from registration.

The Company is not selling any shares of Common Stock in this offering and therefore will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Company’s Common Stock hereunder. The Company will pay the expenses of this offering. We will use our best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the resale registration statement from the effective date through and until all securities registered under the registration statement have been sold or are otherwise able to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

Since April 28, 2008, our Common Stock has been listed on the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s (“FINRA”) OTC Bulletin Board (“OTC BB”) under symbol “GSPH”. Before that time, our shares had been quoted on the OTC BB under the listing symbol “KKRI” and had only been traded on a very limited and sporadic basis. The last reported sales price per share of the Company’s Common Stock as reported on the OTC BB on June 14, 2010 was $0.98.

Our business and investment in these securities involves significant risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 3.

No underwriter or person has been engaged to facilitate the sale of shares of Common Stock in this offering.

We may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time by filing amendments or supplements as required. You should read the entire prospectus and any amendments or supplements carefully before you make your investment decision.

NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THESE SECURITIES OR DETERMINED IF THIS PROSPECTUS IS TRUTHFUL OR COMPLETE. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The following summary highlights selected information contained in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in the securities. Before making an investment decision, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the “risk factors” section, the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements. As used throughout this prospectus, the terms “the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Geospatial Holdings, Inc., and its subsidiaries.

About Our Company

Geospatial Holdings Inc. (formerly known as Kayenta Kreations, Inc.), through its wholly owned subsidiaries Geospatial Mapping Systems, Inc. (“GMSI”) Geospatial Pipeline Services, LLC and Utility Services and Consulting Corporation, is an emerging pipeline management service company dedicated to offering technically advanced solutions for managing pipeline infrastructure assets, data management and excavating and exposing underground utilities of all types. By tailoring our technology’s specifications to meet the specific needs of our customers and by building a diverse team of engineers, system specialists and project managers, we aim to establish a presence in various sales regions across the United States, Canada and Australia. Despite a highly competitive business atmosphere we believe we are well positioned to compete effectively by emphasizing the quality and proprietary nature of our technologies and services.

We have entered into an exclusive and perpetual agreement to license the patent pending Smart ProbeTM technology from Reduct NV, a Belgian company (“Reduct”) and the developer of the technology (as amended from time to time, the “Original Reduct License Agreement”). The Original Reduct License Agreement grants the Company exclusive control over the rights to the Smart Probe TM technology throughout North America, South America and Australia. Subsequently, the Company, Reduct, and Delta Networks Ltd., SA (“Delta”), a Luxembourg company and the owner of substantially all of the capital stock of Reduct, entered into the Amended and Restated License and Distribution Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Amended Reduct License Agreement” and together with the Original Reduct License Agreement, the “Exclusive License Agreement”), which, upon its effectiveness, will supersede and replace the Original Reduct License Agreement.

The Amended Reduct License Agreement became effective upon the Company’s second installment payment of $2,450,000 for the purchase of Smart ProbeTM equipment on April 30, 2010 which, together with the Company’s first installment payment of $2,500,000 in March, 2010, fulfils the Company’s obligation to make the $4,950,000 Advance Payment previously due by April 30, 2010.

Through Exclusive License Agreements we are the exclusive licensee of the proprietary DuctRunner Smart ProbeTM (“Smart ProbeTM”) technology throughout North America, South America and Australia. By making use of our Smart ProbeTM technology, which provides state-of-the-art pipeline mapping and data integration capabilities, we can provide decision makers already in the field with precise and immediately viewable data, allowing them to make better and more informed choices.

From our inception through the year ended December 31, 2007, our operations and capital requirements had primarily been funded through sale of the Company’s Common Stock and advances from our Chief Executive Officer. During the year ended December 31, 2008, we began to generate revenues from our planned operations, and ceased to be a development stage company. In the future, we expect to continue to finance our operations through the sale of our Common Stock and through the use of existing assets, as well as through funds provided by operations.

About the Merger

On March 25, 2008, Kayenta Kreations, Inc., now Geospatial Holdings, Inc. (“Parent”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with GMSI, which provided, upon the satisfaction of

 

 

1


Table of Contents

certain conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, that the two companies would merge and GMSI would become the surviving corporation of the merger (the “Merger”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on April 25, 2008, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of GMSI common stock and the GMSI shareholders now own a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock. As a result of the Merger, GMSI became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary and operating unit.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company agreed to effect a 2.8 to 1 forward stock split of its Common Stock, resulting in 3,685,618 outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Forward Split”). The Forward Split was effected on April 25, 2008. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), the issued and outstanding shares of GMSI (the “GMSI Shares”) were converted into an aggregate of 20,074,188 shares of the Company’s Common Stock via each GMSI Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than GMSI Shares held in its treasury) on the basis of one share of the Company’s Common Stock for each GMSI Share without any action on the part of the holders thereof (the “Merger Consideration”), and the Company now owns 100% of the outstanding shares of GMSI.

All outstanding options to purchase GMSI Shares, warrants or similar outstanding GMSI securities were likewise converted to like securities of the Company. In addition, each GMSI Share converted into the Merger Consideration was no longer outstanding and was automatically canceled and retired and ceased to exist. Such shares were surrendered and became owned of record and beneficially by the Company.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the former GMSI shareholders acquired approximately 84.49 percent of the 23,759,806 issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock. In addition, the Merger Agreement contains a covenant that the Company will not effectuate any reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock for a period of two years from the Effective Time without the consent of Thomas G. Kimble. The Merger Agreement also provides for the filing of this prospectus and registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) covering the resale of all shares of Common Stock held by the selling security holders.

In connection with the Merger, Mark A. Smith was appointed to serve as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Subsequently, the Company added Thomas R. Oxenreiter as Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and a Director. Additionally, Brenda White, the former sole member of the Board of Directors of the Company, resigned. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company’s stockholders have approved an employee benefit stock option plan.

About this Offering

This prospectus relates to the resale by the selling security holders identified in this prospectus of up to 17,239,577 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The selling security holders may sell their shares of Common Stock from time to time at prevailing market prices. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock by the selling security holders. As of June 14, 2010, 41,459,373 shares of the Company’s Common Stock are outstanding.

RISK FACTORS

The following summarizes material risks relating to our business that you should carefully consider. The risks described below are not the only risks that we face. If any of the following risks actually occur, they would likely harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

RISK FACTORS RELATED TO THE BUSINESS

Our business is at an early stage of growth and we may not be able to develop the customer base necessary for success.

Our business is still at an early stage of growth. We are still in the early stages of hiring and training our sales force and work force, and identifying and building customer relationships for the services that we expect to offer. We may not be able to achieve our development goals in an efficient manner, or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations in the future.

We have a limited operating history.

The Company currently has a limited operating history. The Company will have to carry out its business plan and generate significant revenues to achieve and sustain profitability in the future. Achieving and maintaining profitability is dependent upon certain factors which are outside of the Company’s control, including changes in business conditions, competition, and changes in applicable regulations.

If we fail to achieve effectiveness of the Amended Reduct License Agreement and if we fail to satisfy our obligations thereunder, we may lose the rights to the key technology on which our business depends.

Our business depends largely on patent pending Smart Probe™ technology that we license from Reduct, the developer of the technology. Currently, we are the exclusive licensee of the Smart Probe™ technology in North America, South America, and Australia pursuant to the Original Reduct License Agreement. We have failed to satisfy certain payment and other obligations under the Original Reduct License Agreement.

On December 15, 2009, we entered into the Amended Reduct License Agreement which became effective and superseded the Original Reduct License Agreement upon the Company’s second installment payment of $2,450,000 for the purchase of SmartProbe equipment on April 30, 2010. The Company made its first installment payment of $2,500,000 toward the Advance Payment in March, 2010.

In addition, now that the Amended Reduct License Agreement has become effective, we are obligated to make various payments and minimum purchases under the Amended Reduct License Agreement in order to satisfy our obligations thereunder. Under the Amended Reduct License Agreement, the Company must make a license payment of $3,000,000 by December 15, 2010. In addition, the Company must make minimum purchases totaling $6,000,000, $11,750,000, and $6,612,500 in 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively. If the Amended Reduct License Agreement is renewed, this minimum purchase requirement will increase by 15% annually over the prior year beginning in 2013. If we fail to make any of these payments or if Reduct believes that we have failed to meet any of our other obligations under the Amended Reduct License Agreement, Reduct could seek to limit or terminate our license rights, which could lead to costly and time-consuming litigation and potentially, a loss of our exclusive license rights. During the period of any such litigation, our ability to carry out the development of client relationships and provide pipeline management services could be significantly and adversely affected.

Our independent auditor has expressed doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our Company has incurred net losses since inception. Our operations and capital requirements have been funded by sales of our common stock and advances from our chief executive officer. At December 31, 2009, our

Table of Contents

current liabilities exceed our current assets by $3,862,583. Those factors as well as our commitments under the Original Reduct License Agreement and the Amended Reduct License Agreement create uncertainty about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We may not be able to protect our proprietary technology from infringement.

Our business development will depend on a combination of patents, licensing agreements and unpatented proprietary know-how and trade secrets to establish and protect our intellectual property rights. To the extent that we license intellectual property from third parties, we will also have to rely in part on their measures to protect our intellectual property rights. However, these measures may not afford complete protection of our intellectual property, and it is possible that third parties may copy or otherwise obtain and use our proprietary information and technology without authorization or otherwise infringe on our intellectual property rights because of acts or omissions of the licensee. We cannot assure you that any of our competitors will not independently develop equivalent or superior know-how, trade secrets or proprietary processes. If we are unable to maintain the proprietary nature of our technologies, our expected profit margins could be reduced as competitors imitating our products could compete aggressively against us in the pricing of certain products and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

In addition, several of our business markets and customers are expected to be located outside of the United States. The laws protecting intellectual property in some countries may not provide adequate protection to prevent our competitors from misappropriating our intellectual property.

We may have difficulty meeting our future capital requirements.

Since our inception, the Company’s activities have largely consisted of organizational and financing activities. We will need to obtain significant capital resources from sources including equity/debt financings in order to profitably grow our business. Additional financing through strategic collaborations, public or private equity financings or other financing sources may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. Additional equity financing could result in significant dilution to our shareholders. Further, if additional funds are obtained through arrangements with collaborative partners, these arrangements may require us to relinquish some of our rights with respect to our technologies. If sufficient capital is not available we may be required to reduce our workforce, reduce the scope of our marketing efforts, and/or customer service, any of which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or business prospects.

We must adapt to technological advances in the pipeline services industry.

We compete in an industry that has seen the development of increasingly advanced technology to deliver state-of-the-art pipeline management service solutions to a variety of end-users. Our success may depend on our ability to adapt to technological changes in the industry. If we are unable to adapt to technological change, timely develop and introduce new products, or enhance existing products in response to changing market conditions or customer requirements or demands, our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. We cannot assure you that we will be able to replace outdated technologies, replace them as quickly as our competitors or develop and market new and better products in the future.

We may be subject to litigation that will be costly to defend or pursue and uncertain in its outcome.

Our business may bring us into conflict with our licensor or others with whom we have contractual or other business relationships, or with our competitors or others whose interests differ from ours. If we are unable to resolve these conflicts on terms that are satisfactory to all parties, we may become involved in litigation brought by or against us. This litigation could be expensive and may require a significant amount of management’s time and attention, at the expense of other aspects of our business. The outcome of litigation is always uncertain, and

 

4


Table of Contents

in some cases could include judgments against us that require us to pay damages, enjoin us from certain activities, or otherwise affect our legal or contractual rights, which could have a significant adverse effect on our business.

Loss of key individuals could disrupt our operations and harm our business.

Our success depends, in part, on the efforts of certain key individuals, including the members of our senior management team. The loss of the services of any of our key employees could disrupt our operations and have a material adverse effect on our business.

Changes and fluctuations in government spending priorities could materially affect our future revenue and growth prospects.

Our primary customers, which comprise a substantial portion of our revenue and backlog, include agencies of the U.S. federal government and state and local governments and agencies that depend on funding or partial funding provided by the U.S. federal government. Consequently, any significant changes and fluctuations in the government’s spending priorities as a result of policy changes or economic downturns may directly affect our future revenue streams. Legislatures may appropriate funds for a given project on a year by year basis, even though the project may take more than one year to perform. As a result, at the beginning of a project, the related contract may only be partially funded, and additional funding is committed only as appropriations are made in each subsequent year. These appropriations, and the timing of payment of appropriated amounts, may be influenced by, among other things, the state of the economy, competing political priorities, curtailments in the use of government contracting firms, rising raw material costs, delays associated with a lack of a sufficient number of government staff to oversee contracts, budget constraints, the timing and amount of tax receipts, and the overall level of government expenditures. Additionally, reduced spending by the U.S. government may create competitive pressure within our industry which could result in lower revenues and margins in the future.

Unpredictable economic cycles or uncertain demand for our pipeline data management capabilities and related services could cause our revenues to fluctuate or contribute to delays or the inability of customers to pay our fees.

Demand for our pipeline data management and other services are affected by the general level of economic activity in the markets in which we operate, both in the U.S. and internationally. Our customers, particularly our private sector customers, and the markets in which we compete to provide services are likely to experience periods of economic decline from time to time. Adverse economic conditions may decrease our customers’ willingness to make capital expenditures or otherwise reduce their spending to purchase services, which could result in diminished revenues and margins for our business. In addition, adverse economic conditions could alter the overall mix of services that our customers seek to purchase, and increased competition during a period of economic decline could result in us accepting contractual terms that are less favorable to us than we might be able to negotiate under other circumstances. Changes in our mix of services or a less favorable contracting environment may cause our revenues and margins to decline. Moreover, our customers may experience difficult business climates from time to time and could delay or fail to pay our fees as a result.

Our ability to recruit, train and retain professional personnel of the highest quality is a competitive necessity. Our future inability to do so would adversely affect our competitiveness.

Our contract obligations in our pipeline data management markets are performed by our staff of well qualified engineers, technical professionals and management personnel. A shortage of qualified technical professionals currently exists in the engineering industry in the U.S. Our future growth potential requires the effective recruiting, training and retention of these employees. Our inability to retain these well qualified personnel and recruit additional well qualified personnel would adversely affect our business performance and limit our ability to perform new contracts.

Table of Contents

If we are unable to accurately estimate and control our contract costs, then we may incur losses on our contracts, which could decrease our operating margins and significantly reduce or eliminate our profits.

It is important for us to control our contract costs so that we can maintain positive operating margins. Under our fixed price contracts, we receive a fixed price regardless of what our actual costs will be. Consequently, we realize a profit on fixed price contracts only if we control our costs and prevent cost overruns on those contracts. Under our time-and-materials contracts, we are paid for labor and equipment at negotiated hourly billing rates and for other expenses. Profitability on our contracts is driven by billable headcount and our ability to manage costs. Under each type of contract, if we are unable to control costs, we may incur losses on our contracts, which could decrease our operating margins and significantly reduce or eliminate our profits.

Due to the nature of the work we perform to complete pipeline data management contracts, we are subject to potential liability claims and contract disputes.

Our pipeline data management contracts often involve projects where design, construction, system failures or accidents could result in substantially large or punitive damages for which we could have liability. Our operations can involve professional judgments regarding the planning, design, development, construction, operations and management of facilities and public infrastructure projects. Although we are adopting a range of insurance, risk management safety and risk avoidance programs designed to reduce potential liabilities, there can be no assurance that such programs will protect us fully from all risks and liabilities.

We may also experience a delay or withholding of payments for services due to performance disputes. If we are unable to resolve these disputes and collect these payments, we would incur profit reductions and reduced cash flows.

If we miss a required performance standard, fail to timely complete, or otherwise fail to adequately perform on a project, then we may incur a loss on that project, which may reduce or eliminate our overall profitability.

We may commit to a client that we will complete a project by a scheduled date. We may also commit that a project, when completed, will achieve specified performance standards. If the project is not completed by the scheduled date or fails to meet required performance standards, we may either incur significant additional costs or be held responsible for the costs incurred by the client to rectify damages due to late completion or failure to achieve the required performance standards. The uncertainty of the timing of a project can present difficulties in planning the amount of personnel needed for the project. If the project is delayed or canceled, we may bear the cost of an underutilized workforce that was dedicated to fulfilling the project. In addition, performance of projects can be affected by a number of factors beyond our control, including unavoidable delays from weather conditions, changes in the project scope of services requested by the clients or labor or other disruptions. In some cases, should we fail to meet required performance standards, we may also be subject to agreed upon financial damages, which are determined by the contract. To the extent that these events occur, the total costs of the project could exceed our estimates or, in some cases, we could incur a loss on a project, which may reduce or eliminate our overall profitability.

We are subject to procurement laws and regulations associated with our government contracts. If we do not comply with these laws and regulations, we may be prohibited from completing our existing government contracts or suspended from government contracting and subcontracting for some period of time.

Our compliance with the laws and regulations relating to the procurement, administration and performance of our government contracts is dependent upon our ability to ensure that we properly design and execute compliant procedures. Our termination from any larger government contracts or suspension from future government contracts for any reason would result in material declines in expected revenue. Because U.S. federal laws permit government agencies to terminate a contract for convenience, the U.S. federal government may terminate or decide not to renew our contracts with little or no prior notice.

Table of Contents

We are subject to routine U.S. federal, state and local government audits related to our government contracts. If audit findings are unfavorable, we could experience a reduction in our profitability.

Our government contracts are subject to audit. These audits may result in the determination that certain costs claimed as reimbursable are not allowable or have not been properly allocated to government contracts according to federal government regulations. We are subject to audits for several years after payments for services have been received. Based on these audits, government entities may adjust or seek reimbursement for previously-paid amounts.

Our potential involvement in partnerships, ventures and the use of subcontractors may expose us to additional legal and market reputation damages.

Our methods of delivery may include the use of partnerships, subcontractors, joint ventures and other ventures. If our partners or subcontractors fail to satisfactorily perform their obligations as a result of financial or other difficulties, we may be unable to adequately perform or deliver our contracted services. Under these circumstances, we may be required to make additional investments and provide additional services to ensure the adequate performance and delivery of the contracted services. Additionally, we may be exposed to claims for damages that are a result of a partner’s or subcontractor’s performance. We could also suffer contract termination and damage to our reputation as a result of a partner’s or subcontractor’s performance.

We are engaged in highly competitive markets that pose challenges to continued revenue growth.

Our business is characterized by competition for contracts within the government and private sectors in which service contracts are often awarded through competitive bidding processes. We compete with a large number of other service providers who offer the principal services that we offer. In this competitive environment, we must provide technical proficiency, quality of service and experience to ensure future contract awards and revenue and profit growth.

We use the percentage-of-completion method of accounting for many of our projects. This method may result in volatility in stated revenues and profits.

Our revenues and profits for many of our contracts are recognized ratably as those contracts are performed. This rate is based primarily on the proportion of labor costs incurred to date to total labor costs projected to be incurred for the entire project. This method of accounting requires us to calculate revenues and profit to be recognized in each reporting period for each project based on our predictions of future outcomes, including our estimates of the total cost to complete the project, project schedule and completion date, the percentage of the project that is completed and the amounts of any probable unapproved change orders. Our failure to accurately estimate these often subjective factors could result in reduced profits or losses for certain contracts.

RISK FACTORS RELATED TO COMMON STOCK

An additional number of the Company’s Shares of common stock are likely to become freely tradable.

Approximately 5,090,019 shares of the Company’s common stock are currently freely tradable on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board where the Company’s common stock trades. 17,239,577 shares of the Company’s common stock are registered under this registration statement which the Company intends to cause it to be effective. Of the remaining outstanding shares, as of the date of this prospectus and registration statement, some or all of such shares may be eligible for resale under Rule 144.

Additional shares of the Company’s common stock may be eligible to be sold pursuant to Section 144 of the Securities Act depending on (i) certain conditions relating to the Company or the shares themselves, including whether, among other things, (A) the Company is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act

Table of Contents

of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), (i) the Company has filed all required Exchange Act reports and material during the preceding twelve months, and (ii) at least one year has elapsed from the time the Company filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) “Form 10 information” reflecting that it is not a shell company and (B) certain conditions relating to the investors who hold such shares, including, among other things, (i) the period for which such investors held such shares and (ii) such investor’s relationship with the Company.

We cannot predict the effect, if any, that the ability to sell additional shares of the Company’s common stock to the public will have on the prevailing market price of the Company’s common stock from time to time. Nevertheless, if a significant number of shares of the Company’s common stock are sold in the public market, or if people believe that such sales may occur, the prevailing market price of our common stock could decline and could impair our future ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities.

There is the possibility of future dilution.

There is the possibility that the Company may still require further capital investment. The Company’s Board of Directors will evaluate the need for and oversee the sourcing of future capital for the Company. There is the possibility that such additional sources of financing may result in dilution in the value of the Company’s common stock.

The directors and officers of the Company may have certain personal interests that may affect the Company.

A small group of directors, executive officers, principal shareholders and affiliated entities will beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately 45% of the Company’s outstanding voting securities. As a result, if some or all of them acted together, they would have the ability to exert substantial influence over and/or control the election of the Board of Directors and the outcome of issues requiring approval by the Company’s shareholders. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company that may be favored by other shareholders. This could prevent transactions in which shareholders might otherwise recover a premium for their shares over current market prices.

The market price of the Company’s shares of common stock may fluctuate significantly.

The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control, such as:

 

   

the announcement of new products or product enhancements by us or our competitors;

 

   

developments concerning intellectual property rights and regulatory approvals;

 

   

variations in our and our competitors’ results of operations;

 

   

changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts, if our common stock is covered by analysts;

 

   

developments in the pipeline management services industry;

 

   

the results of product liability or intellectual property lawsuits;

 

   

future issuances of common stock or other securities;

 

   

the addition or departure of key personnel;

 

   

announcements by us or our competitors of acquisitions, investments or strategic alliances; and

 

   

general market conditions and other factors, including factors unrelated to our operating performance.

Further, the stock market in general has recently experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. Continued market fluctuations could result in extreme volatility in the price of our common stock, which could cause a decline in the value of our common stock. Price volatility of our common stock might be worse if the trading volume of our common stock is low. We have not paid, and do not expect to pay, any cash dividends on our common stock as any earnings generated from future operations will be used to finance our operations and as a result, investors will not realize any income from an investment in our common stock until and unless their shares are sold at a profit.

Trading of our common stock is limited and trading restrictions imposed on us by regulatory authorities may further reduce our trading, making it difficult for our shareholders to sell their shares.

Trading of our common stock is currently conducted on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board. The liquidity of our common stock is limited by, among other things, the number of shares that can be bought and sold at a given price, and may also be adversely affected by delays in the timing of transactions and the reduction of coverage by security analysts and the media, if at all. Currently, there are approximately 200 holders of record of our common stock. These factors may result in lower prices for our common stock than might otherwise be obtained and could also result in a larger spread between the bid and ask prices for our common stock. In addition, without a large float, our common stock is less liquid than the stock of companies with broader public ownership and, as a result, the trading prices of our common stock may be more volatile. In the absence of an active public trading market, an investor may be unable to liquidate his investment in our common stock. Trading of a relatively small volume of our common stock may have a greater impact on the trading price of our stock than would be the case if our public float were larger. We cannot predict the prices at which our common stock will trade in the future.

Because our common stock may be a “penny stock,” it may be more difficult for investors to sell shares of our common stock, and the market price of our common stock may be adversely affected.

Our common stock may be a “penny stock” if, among other things, the stock price is below $5.00 per share, it is not listed on a national securities exchange or approved for quotation on the American Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market or any other national stock exchange or it has not met certain net tangible asset or average revenue requirements. Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks must provide purchasers of these stocks with a standardized risk-disclosure document prepared by the Commission. A broker must also give a purchaser, orally or in writing, bid and offer quotations and information regarding broker and salesperson compensation, make a written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser, and obtain the purchaser’s written agreement to purchase the penny stock. Broker-dealers must also provide customers who hold penny stock in their accounts with such broker-dealer a monthly statement containing price and market information relating to the penny stock. If a penny stock is sold to an investor in violation of the penny stock rules, the investor may be able to cancel its purchase and get its money back.

If applicable, the penny stock rules may make it difficult for investors to sell their shares of our common stock. Because of the rules and restrictions applicable to a penny stock, there is less trading in penny stocks and the market price of our common stock may be adversely affected. Also, many brokers choose not to participate in penny stock transactions. Accordingly, investors may not always be able to resell their shares of our common stock publicly at times and prices that they feel are appropriate.

Failure to maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. In addition, current and potential shareholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which could have a material adverse effect on the price of our common stock.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports. A failure to provide effective internal controls may present opportunities for fraud and erroneous reporting of financial reports and

operating results. We are required to document and test our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. Beginning with our annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, our independent registered public accounting firm must perform an audit of our internal control over financial reporting. During the course of our testing, we may identify deficiencies and weaknesses which we may not be able to remediate in time to meet the deadline imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for compliance with the requirements of Section 404. In addition, if we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal control structure, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Disclosing significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls, failing to remediate these deficiencies or weaknesses in a timely fashion or failing to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment may cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a material adverse effect on the price of our common stock.

Compliance with changing regulations concerning corporate governance and public disclosure may result in additional expenses.

There have been changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, new regulations promulgated by the Commission and rules promulgated by the American Stock Exchange, the other national securities exchanges and the NASDAQ. These new or changed laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies, which could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. As a result, our efforts to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards are likely to continue to result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. Our board members, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer could face an increased risk of personal liability in connection with the performance of their duties. As a result, we may have difficulty attracting and retaining qualified board members and executive officers, which could harm our business. If our efforts to comply with new or changed laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies, we could be subject to liability under applicable laws or our reputation may be harmed.

The statements set forth under the captions “Business,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations,” and “Risk Factors,” and other statements included elsewhere in this prospectus and registration statement, which are not historical, constitute “Forward Looking Statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding the expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies for the future. When used in this report, the terms “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect” and “intend” and words or phrases of similar import, as they relate to our business or our subsidiaries or our management, are intended to identify Forward-Looking Statements. We intend that all Forward-Looking Statements be subject to the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These Forward-Looking Statements are only predictions and reflect our views as of the date they are made with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-Looking Statements are subject to many risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Our business involves various risks, including, but not limited to, our ability to implement our business strategies as planned in a timely manner or at all; our lack of operating history; our ability to protect our proprietary technologies; our ability to obtain financing sufficient to meet our capital needs; and our inability to use historical financial data to evaluate our financial performance. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 3.

USE OF PROCEEDS

All shares of our Common Stock offered by this prospectus are being registered for the account of the selling security holders. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of our Common Stock by the selling security holders.

DIVIDEND POLICY

The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its common equity in the last two fiscal years, and does not plan to do so as any earnings generated from future operations will be used to finance our operations. The only restrictions that limit the ability to pay dividends on common equity are those restrictions imposed by law. Under Nevada corporate law, no dividends or other distributions may be made which would render the Company insolvent or reduce assets to less than the sum of its liabilities plus the amount needed to satisfy any outstanding liquidation preferences.

MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK

The selling security holders may sell all or a portion of their shares on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board (“OTC BB”) at prices prevailing at the time of sale, or related to the market price at the time of sale, or they may otherwise sell their shares at negotiated prices. We cannot determine what the actual offering price will be at the time of sale.

Shares of our common stock had previously been quoted on the OTC BB under the listing symbol “KKRI” and had only been traded on a very limited and sporadic basis. As of April 28, 2008, our listing symbol has been changed to “GSPH” in conjunction with our name change. The last reported sales price per share of the Company’s common stock as reported on the OTC BB on June 14, 2010 was $0.98.

The following sets forth high and low bid price quotations for each calendar quarter during the last two fiscal years that trading occurred or quotations were available.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) together with our financial statements and the related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this prospectus and registration statement.

Some of the information contained in this MD&A or set forth elsewhere in this prospectus and registration statement, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business and related financing, includes Forward-Looking Statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See “FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS” above. In addition, you should read the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus and registration statement for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the Forward-Looking Statements contained in the following discussion and analysis.

Overview

We are an emerging pipeline management service company that is focused on developing and producing innovative technologies and services which offer technically advanced solutions for managing pipeline infrastructure assets. Our strategy is to combine innovative pipeline data acquisition with professional data management and technically superior pipeline field services to build strong client relationships in the pipeline service industry. We believe that our multi-disciplined team, consisting of construction professionals, engineers and Geographic Information System (“GIS”) and IT specialists, project managers, estimators and field technicians can be mobilized quickly and efficiently for any project. Our field service professionals are available to provide economic data collection and mapping solutions to municipalities, utilities, engineering companies, contractors, pipeline operators, government agencies, industrial concerns and military facilities worldwide.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2010, we had current assets of $5,022,664, and current liabilities of $4,682,687.

Our business depends largely on patent pending SmartProbe technology that we license from Reduct, the developer of the technology. Currently, we are the exclusive licensee of the SmartProbe technology in North America, South America, and Australia pursuant to the Amended Reduct License Agreement that we entered into on December 15, 2009, which became effective on April 30, 2010.

The Amended Reduct License Agreement became effective upon the Company’s second installment payment of $2,450,000 for the purchase of SmartProbe equipment on April 30, 2010 which, together with the Company’s first installment payment of $2,500,000 in March, 2010, fulfils the Company’s obligation to make the $4,950,000 Advance Payment previously due by April 30, 2010.

In addition, now that the Amended Reduct License Agreement has become effective, we are obligated to make various payments and minimum purchases under the Amended Reduct License Agreement in order to satisfy our obligations thereunder. Under the Amended Reduct License Agreement, the Company must make a license payment of $3,000,000 by December 15, 2010. In addition, the Company must make minimum purchases totaling $6,000,000, $11,750,000, and $6,612,500 in 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively. If the Amended Reduct License Agreement is renewed, this minimum purchase requirement will increase by 15% annually over the prior year beginning in 2013. If we fail to make any of these payments or if Reduct believes that we have failed to meet any of our other obligations under the Amended Reduct License Agreement, Reduct could seek to limit or terminate our license rights, which could lead to costly and time-consuming litigation and potentially, a loss of our exclusive license rights. During the period of any such litigation, our ability to carry out the development of client relationships and provide pipeline management services could be significantly and adversely affected.

Our Company has incurred net losses since inception. Our operations and capital requirements have been funded by sales of our common stock and advances from our chief executive officer. At December 31, 2009 current liabilities exceeded current assets by $3,862,583. Those factors as well as our commitments under the Amended Reduct License Agreement raise doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Management is continuing efforts to secure funds through financing and operations. The Company retained Convertible Capital as its financial advisor, and in March 2010, entered into a Strategic Advisory Agreement with Ridge Global, LLC (“Ridge”) and Pace Global Energy Services, LLC, (“Pace”) pursuant to which Pace and Ridge agreed to provide strategic advisory services to the Company, including assisting the Company and Convertible Capital in raising capital and assisting the Company in its business development efforts. The Company closed financing through sales of convertible preferred stock and common stock in the aggregate amount of $6.2 million in 2009, including conversion of $2.0 million of indebtedness to our chief executive officer into common stock, and conversion of approximately $105,000 of other debt into common stock, and common stock issued for services totaling approximately $215,000. In March and April, 2010, the Company completed a sale of common stock with an aggregate sale price of approximately $9.7 million, including the conversion of $1.0 million of indebtedness to our chief executive officer into common stock. The proceeds of the stock offering will be used to fund general working capital needs.

Furthermore, the Company is expanding into new marketing and sales channels. The Company has entered into the utility locating market, has entered into a joint marketing agreement with a strategic partner, and is exploring relationships with additional strategic partners to increase capital from operations. The Company has begun to market probes to third-parties to meet our minimum purchase requirements under the Amended Reduct License Agreement moving forward. The Company is also investigating diversifying operations by identifying potential acquisitions of technology to supplement the Reduct Smart Probe™ technology.

We believe that our actions and planned actions will enable us to finance our operations beyond December 31, 2010.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010

Sales were $917,966 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $70,193 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Cost of sales was $719,837 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $107,057 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Our sales and cost of sales increased in 2010 due to improved economic conditions and the commencement of our utility locating business. We expect sales and cost of sales to fluctuate as our business reaches maturity.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses include all costs that are not directly associated with our revenue-generating activities. SG&A expenses include payroll costs for sales, administrative, and technical personnel, sales and marketing costs, corporate costs, and facilities costs. SG&A expenses were $1,547,123 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $914,512 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in SG&A costs for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009 was due to increased expenses resulting from the expansion of our sales and administrative staff and facilities in 2010, and increased professional fees due to increased legal, financial advisory, government relations, and investor relations fees. In addition, we incurred a fee of $100,000 associated with an extension of payments due under the Amended Reduct License Agreement. These increases in SG&A expenses were partially offset by a reduction in marketing costs associated with an advertising campaign in 2009.

Other income and expenses include interest income, interest expense, and non-business income and expenses. Other income and expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was a net expense of $42,422, which included interest income of $7,950, and interest expense of $50,372. Other income and expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was a net expense of $37,715, which included interest income of $7,448,

 

14


Table of Contents

interest expense of $46,446, and other income of $1,283. The increase in interest expense in 2010 is due to interest on capital leases, partially offset by a reduction in interest on notes payable to stockholders, due to the conversion of notes payable to stockholders to common stock.

We had no net benefit from income taxes, as our deferred tax benefit was completely offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of realization of the benefit.

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2009

Sales were $825,669 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $1,567,575 for the year ended December 31, 2008. Cost of sales was $929,722 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $673,397 for the year ended December 31, 2008. Our sales declined due to economic conditions in 2009. Cost of sales increased in 2009 as our fixed costs of sales increased due to expansion of our operations. We expect sales and cost of sales to fluctuate as our business reaches maturity.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses include all costs that are not directly associated with our revenue-generating activities. SG&A expenses include payroll costs for sales, administrative, and technical personnel, sales and marketing costs, corporate costs, and facilities costs. SG&A expenses were $7,510,950 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $5,338,285 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase was primarily due to expenses of $3.1 million incurred in connection with the adoption of the Amended Reduct License Agreement in 2009. In 2008, the Company incurred expenses of $1.2 million related to amendments to the Original Reduct License Agreement. SG&A expenses also increased in 2009 due to the expansion of our sales and administrative staff and marketing costs associated with a marketing campaign in 2009. These increases in expenses were partially offset by decreases in legal, accounting, and other expenses due to expenses incurred in 2008 related to the acquisition of Kayenta Kreations, Inc., legal, accounting and other expenses related to other potential acquisitions, and legal expenses related to the filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for a portion of our shares. In addition, we incurred expense in 2008 related to Amendment No. 3 to the original Reduct License Agreement. SG&A expenses were $1,214,087 and $3,175,895 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, compared to $1,009,713 and $3,235,349 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. The increase in SG&A costs for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were primarily due to legal, accounting and other expenses incurred in 2008 related to the acquisition of Kayenta and the subsequent filing of a Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for a portion of our shares. This decrease in expense was partially offset by increased expenses resulting from the expansion of our sales and administrative staff and facilities in 2009, and marketing costs associated with an advertising campaign in 2009.

Other income and expenses include interest income, interest expense, non-business income and expenses, and gains or losses on foreign currency exchange. Other income and expense was net expense of $182,973 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to a net expense of $74,895 for the year ended December 31, 2008. Included in other income and expense during the year ended December 31, 2009 was interest income of $30,374, interest expense of $214,680, and other income of $1,333. During the year ended December 31, 2008, other income and expense included interest income of $21,244, interest expense of $59,788, other income of $171, and a loss on foreign currency exchange of $36,522. The increase in interest expense in 2009 is due to the increase in notes payable to stockholders and capital lease liabilities. The decrease in losses on foreign currency exchange from 2008 to 2009 is because the Company had no liabilities to be settled in foreign currency in 2009.

We had no net benefit from income taxes, as our deferred tax benefit was completely offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of realization of the benefit.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2010.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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. Estimates and assumptions which, in our opinion, are significant to the underlying amounts included in the financial statements and for which it would be reasonably possible that future events or information could change those estimates include:

Impairment Assessment of Intangible Assets. Intangible assets consist of exclusive license rights to the patent pending DuctRunner Smart Probe technology. We licensed the technology under the Exclusive License and Distribution Agreement dated August 3, 2006 (the “Original Reduct License Agreement”). On December 15, 2009, we entered into the Amended Reduct License Agreement, which restructured the payment obligations and other terms of the Original Reduct License Agreement. The Amended Reduct License Agreement became effective on April 30, 2010. The Amended Reduct License Agreement provides us with exclusive control rights to the DuctRunner Smart Probe technology throughout the continents of North America, South America, and Australia. We recorded an intangible asset of $1,367,000 upon use of the license under the Original Reduct License Agreement. In addition to the license fees, we are required to make minimum purchases of Smart Probes. If we are unable to satisfy minimum purchase requirements required pursuant to the Amended Reduct License Agreement, Reduct may terminate the license agreement, and our investment in the license rights would be impaired.

Under the Original Reduct License Agreement, the license rights had an indefinite useful life. Accordingly, the license rights were not amortized under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Upon the execution of the Amended Reduct License Agreement on December 15, 2009, we determined that the license rights have a finite life. We estimate the useful life of the license rights under the Amended Reduct License Agreement to be twelve years. Accordingly, we are amortizing the investment in the license rights over a twelve-year period beginning January 1, 2010. We test the carrying value of the license rights annually for impairment, and review their useful life. Should the license rights be determined to be impaired, the value of the asset will be written down, and a loss recognized in the period in which the asset’s recorded value exceeds its fair value. In our test for impairment, we determine the fair value of the license rights based on a five-year projection of future cash flows, which is updated annually based on management’s projections.

Estimated Costs to Complete Fixed-Price Contracts. We record revenues for fixed-price contracts under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, whereby revenues are recognized ratably as those contracts are completed. This rate is based primarily on the proportion of contract costs incurred to date to total contract costs projected to be incurred for the entire project, or the proportion of measurable output completed to date to total output anticipated for the entire project. We review our estimates of costs to complete each contract quarterly, and make adjustments if necessary. At March 31, 2010, we do not believe that material changes to contract cost estimates at completion for any of our open contracts are reasonably likely to occur.

Realization of Deferred Income Tax Assets. We provide a net deferred tax asset or liability equal to the expected future tax benefit or expense of temporary reporting differences between financial reporting and tax accounting methods and any available operating loss or tax credit carryovers. At March 31, 2010, we had a deferred tax asset resulting principally from our net operating loss deduction carryforward available for tax purposes in future years. This deferred tax asset is completely offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of realization. We evaluate the necessity of the valuation allowance quarterly.

QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk—Interest rate risk refers to fluctuations in the value of a security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. We do not have significant short-term investments. Accordingly, we believe that we do not have a material interest rate exposure.

Foreign Currency Risk—Our functional currency is the United States dollar. Some of our business transactions are denominated in foreign currencies. At the date a foreign currency transaction is recognized, each asset, liability, revenue, expense, gain, or loss arising from the transaction is measured and recorded in United States dollars using the exchange rate in effect at that time. At each balance sheet date, balances that will be settled in foreign currencies are adjusted to reflect the current exchange rate. Any gain or loss resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates is included in net income in the period in which the exchange rate changes.

Under the Original Reduct License Agreement, most of our transactions with Reduct were denominated in Euros. Under the Amended Reduct License Agreement, most future transactions with Reduct will be denominated in United States dollars. At March 31, 2010, other than the existing obligations under the Original Reduct License Agreement, which were superseded by the Amended Reduct License Agreement upon its effectiveness on April 30, 2010, we had no liabilities denominated in Euros.

Commodity Price Risk—Based on the nature of our business, we have no direct exposure to commodity price risk.

On March 25, 2008, Parent, a Nevada corporation, Kayenta Subsidiary Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Merger Subsidiary”), Thomas Kimble, an individual stockholder of Parent and a selling security holder (the “Parent Stockholder”) and GMSI, a Delaware corporation entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) which provided, upon the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, that the Merger Subsidiary would merge with and into GMSI and GMSI would become the surviving corporation of the Merger. Those conditions were satisfied and the Merger occurred on April 25, 2008.

Material Terms and Conditions of the Merger Agreement

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Parent agreed to effect a 2.8 to 1 forward stock split of its common stock, resulting in 3,685,618 outstanding Parent Shares. The Forward Split was effected on April 25, 2008. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and at the effective time of the Merger, the issued and outstanding shares of GMSI were converted into an aggregate of 20,074,188 shares of the Company’s Common Stock via each GMSI Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than GMSI Shares held in its treasury) on the basis of one Parent Share for each GMSI Share without any action on the part of the holders thereof, and Parent now owns 100% of the outstanding shares of GMSI.

All outstanding options to purchase GMSI Shares, warrants or similar outstanding GMSI securities were likewise converted to like securities of Parent. In addition, each GMSI Share converted into the Merger Consideration was no longer outstanding and was automatically canceled and retired and ceased to exist. Such shares were surrendered and became owned of record and beneficially by Parent. In connection with the Merger, Parent changed its name from Kayenta Kreations, Inc. to Geospatial Holdings, Inc. As of April 28, 2008, the Company has changed its listing symbol on the OTC BB from “KKRI” to “GSPH”.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the GMSI shareholders owned 84.49 percent of the 23,759,806 issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock following the Merger. In addition, the Merger Agreement contains a covenant that the Company will not effectuate any reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock for a period of two years from the Effective Time without the consent of the Parent Stockholder. The Merger Agreement also provides that the Company will file this prospectus and registration statement with the Commission covering the resale of all shares of the selling security holders.

Changes Resulting from the Merger

As a result of the Merger, GMSI became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary and the Company ceased being a shell company as that term is defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. The Company intends to carry on GMSI’s business.

Accounting Treatment

The Merger is being accounted for as a “reverse merger,” because as a result of the Merger the shareholders of GMSI now own a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock. GMSI is deemed to be the acquiror in the Merger for accounting purposes. As a result of the Merger, there was a change in control of the Registrant. However, Registrant will continue to be a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act (“Regulation S-K”).

Election to Board of Directors; Appointment of Officers

In connection with the Merger, Mark A. Smith was appointed to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Linda M. Ward was appointed to serve as the Company’s Executive Vice President of Business Development. Subsequently the Company also added David

Vosbein as President and a Director and Thomas R. Oxenreiter as Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and a Director. On March 2, 2010, Thomas J. Ridge and Timothy F. Sutherland were appointed as Directors. On April 16, 2010, Mr. Vosbein resigned as President and Director. Additionally, Brenda White, the sole member of the Board of Directors of Parent, resigned. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company’s stockholders have approved an employee benefit stock option plan.

Company Overview

The Registrant (formerly known as Kayenta Kreations, Inc.) was incorporated on December 26, 1995 in the state of Nevada. Geospatial Mapping Systems, Inc. (“GMSI”) was incorporated on May 26, 2006 in the State of Delaware. On April 25, 2008, the Registrant merged with GMSI to form Geospatial Holdings, Inc. (“we” or the “Company”). Upon completion of the merger, the Company adopted the business of GMSI, and GMSI became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary and operating unit.

On May 5, 2008, the Company created Geospatial Pipeline Services, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary that operates in the business of pipeline field services. On October 16, 2009, we acquired Utility Services and Consulting Corporation, a newly-formed company that operates in the business of locating underground utility conduits.

General Development of the Business

We are an emerging pipeline management service company that is focused on developing and producing innovative technologies and services which offer technically advanced solutions for managing pipeline infrastructure assets. Our strategy is to combine innovative pipeline data acquisition and mapping technology with professional data management and technically superior pipeline field services to build strong client relationships in the pipeline service industry. We believe that by building a multi-disciplined team, consisting of construction professionals, engineers and Geographic Information System (“GIS”) and IT specialists, project managers, estimators and field technicians, we can mobilize quickly and efficiently for any project. Our field service professionals are available to provide economic data collection and mapping solutions to municipalities, utilities, engineering companies, contractors, pipeline operators, government agencies, industrial concerns and military facilities worldwide.

We believe that owners and operators of the world’s pipeline infrastructure are faced with competitive pressures and regulatory constraints which are requiring them to manage their pipeline assets in a more efficient and responsible manner. We expect to provide innovative, proprietary technologies and services which offer technically enhanced solutions to municipalities, utilities, and oil and gas pipeline operators in the United States and abroad for managing pipeline infrastructure assets.

We are the exclusive licensee of the proprietary Smart Probe™ technology throughout North America, South America and Australia and, as a result, we believe we are uniquely positioned to emerge as a global leader in the use of technology to gather, manage and evaluate pipeline infrastructure data. In addition to our Smart Probe™ technology, our professional field services personnel provide related pipeline services such as our “non-destructive excavation” technologies which allow us to excavate and expose underground utilities of all types without the potential danger of damaging the pipeline or surrounding utilities, pipeline video inspection, pipeline cleaning and post inspection pipeline evaluation. We intend to leverage our exclusive technology and our customer service in order to grow into a global leader in pipeline data acquisition and management.

Proprietary Technology

Our Smart Probe™ technology provides accurate X, Y and Z axes centerline mapping of pipeline infrastructure and seamlessly integrates open format data into three dimensional GIS or Computer Aided Design (“CAD”) databases. GIS is a collection of computer hardware, software, and geographic data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information.

Table of Contents

Using the Smart Probe™ technology, our mapping surveys measure and map pipelines in three dimensions and produce a precise depiction of its plan view and profile. Multiple gyroscopic inertial measurement units (“IMUs”) within the Smart Probe™ measure 800 angular and linear velocity changes per second in the X, Y and Z axes as the unit moves through the pipeline. Our Smart Probe™ can map most pipelines with a high degree of positional accuracy by establishing reference points with known geographical coordinates and Global Positioning System (“GPS”) data at the start and end of the run, and on very long runs at known intervals between the two. In addition to the unique technological mapping advances of this technology, the Smart Probe™ can function un-tethered to any communication cable because all data will be stored within the unit. This feature provides for greater flexibility in data imaging because there are no depth limitations associated with the Smart Probe TM . Data acquired and stored within the unit can be uploaded onto a laptop computer or PC and immediately viewed and evaluated in the field. At this stage, digital “plan and profile” sectional drawings of the pipeline surveyed can be produced, overlaid onto an existing plan view of the site and printed immediately in the field. Alternatively, this digital data can be transferred via the internet to any location in the world where it can be evaluated by associated decision makers or stored and entered into the appropriate GIS/CAD database by the program administrator for future reference and use.

License and Distribution Agreements

In August 2006, GMSI entered into an exclusive and perpetual agreement to license the patent pending Smart Probe™ technology from Reduct NV, a Belgian company (“Reduct”) and the developer of the technology (as amended from time to time, the “Original Reduct License Agreement”). The Original Reduct License Agreement granted the Company exclusive control over the rights to the Smart Probe™ technology throughout North America, South America and Australia.

On December 15, 2009, the Company, Reduct, and Delta Networks Ltd., SA (“Delta”), a Luxembourg company and the owner of substantially all of the capital stock of Reduct, entered into the Amended and Restated License and Distribution Agreement (as amended, the “Amended Reduct License Agreement”), which, upon its effectiveness, supersedes and replaces the Original Reduct License Agreement.

The Amended Reduct License Agreement became effective upon the Company’s second installment payment of $2,450,000 for the purchase of SmartProbe equipment on April 30, 2010 which, together with the Company’s first installment payment of $2,500,000 in March, 2010, fulfils the Company’s obligation to make the $4,950,000 Advance Payment previously due by April 30, 2010. The Amended Reduct License Agreement has an initial term of three years, and is renewable at the discretion of the Company for successive three-year terms. The Amended Reduct License Agreement restructures the payment and minimum purchase requirements that exist under the Original Reduct License Agreement. Under the Amended Reduct License Agreement, the Company must make a license payment of $3,000,000 by December 15, 2010. In addition, the Company must make minimum quarterly payments totaling $6,000,000, $11,750,000, and $6,612,500 in 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively. If the Amended Reduct License Agreement is renewed, this minimum purchase requirement will increase by 15% annually over the prior year beginning in 2013.

Pursuant to the Amended Reduct License Agreement, the Company granted to Delta warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.50 per share until December 31, 2012, and warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.425 per share until December 31, 2013.

Sales and Marketing Efforts

We intend to establish Regional Technical Sales Managers (“RTSMs”) in various sales regions across the United States, Canada and Australia. Each RTSM will report to the Company’s Executive Vice President of Business Development and be responsible for developing and implementing a sales program which meets our specific targets. As business is developed in each sales region, we expect field technicians to be assigned to work

 

20


Table of Contents

under each RTSM to assist the RTSM in performing pipeline mapping services. The Company will attempt to establish strong strategic partnerships to market the company’s technologies in Mexico, the Caribbean and the balance of Latin America.

To assist the RTSMs in developing their sales regions, we are developing an extensive data base of approximately 30,000 potential customers, which includes municipalities, engineers, GIS consultants, pipeline operators and contractors. We expect to use this potential customer list in order to introduce and promote interest in the relevant markets for our Smart Probe™ proprietary technology. We will engage in direct-sale marketing efforts, whereby we will require that each of our RTSMs establish relationships and schedule group meetings with GIS and utilities managers, engineering companies, major utility companies and major utility contractors within each of their respective sales regions in order to demonstrate the Smart Probe™ technology and its associated benefits. We also will demonstrate the use and functionality of the Smart Probe™ at numerous national and regional trade shows sponsored by related industry groups. In addition, the Company expects each RTSM to generate sales leads through electronic mail marketing.

Fundraising

In an effort to raise capital, the Company has retained Convertible Capital as its financial advisor. Subsequent to December 31, 2009, the Company sold shares of its common stock for an aggregate sale price of approximately $9.7 million, including the conversion of $1,000,000 of indebtedness to our chief executive officer. The proceeds of these fundraising efforts will be used to fund general working capital needs.

Strategic Alliances

On March 2, 2010, the Company entered into a Strategic Advisory Agreement with Ridge Global, LLC (“Ridge”) and Pace Global Energy Services, LLC (“Pace”) pursuant to which Pace and Ridge agreed to provide strategic advisory services to the Company, including assisting the Company and Convertible Capital in raising capital and assisting the Company in its business development efforts. As part of this strategic alliance, Thomas J. Ridge, president and CEO of Ridge, as well as the first Secretary of Homeland Security and former governor of Pennsylvania, and Timothy Sutherland, Chairman and CEO of Pace, agreed to join the Company’s Board of Directors.

Ability to Develop and Protect Patents and Other Intellectual Property

Our success, competitive position, and future revenues, if any, depend in part on our ability, and that of the licensors of our major technology, to obtain and successfully leverage intellectual property rights covering our technology, know-how, methods, processes, and to protect our trade secrets, to prevent others from using our intellectual property, and to operate without infringing the intellectual property of third parties. United States and international patent applications filed by Reduct covering the Smart Probe™ technology are currently pending. The Company has filed three additional United States and international patent applications which are currently pending. Our patent strategy includes obtaining patents, where possible, on methods of manufacture, compositions of matter and methods of use. We also rely on know-how, continuing technological innovation, licensing and partnership opportunities to develop and maintain our competitive position. Lastly, we monitor third parties for activities that may infringe on our intellectual property, as well as the progression of third party patent applications that may cover our products or methods and thus, potentially, interfere with the development of our business.

Customers

To date, we have successfully completed over 50 projects for a varied group of clients including contractors, municipalities, utilities, telecoms, and engineering companies.

Government Contracts

Some of our contracts are with federal and state government entities. These contracts may be subject to various procurement laws and regulations. If we do not comply with these laws and regulations, we may be prohibited from completing our existing government contracts or suspended from government contracting and subcontracting for some period of time. In addition, through our government contracts, we are subject to routine U.S. federal, state and local government audits. If audit findings are unfavorable, we could experience a reduction in our profitability. We are subject to audits for several years after payments for services have been received. Based on these audits, government entities may adjust or seek reimbursement for previously paid amounts.

Competition

Our business is highly competitive with respect to pipeline asset management services. While we believe that our proprietary technologies provide advantages to our clients, we will compete with numerous public and private engineering firms that provide some or all of the services that we provide. Our competitors range from large national and international firms, such as Parsons Brinkerhoff Inc., CH2M Hill Companies, PBS&J, Tetra Tech, Dycom Industries, Inc., Consolidated Utility Services, Inc., URS Corporation and CDM, to a vast number of smaller, more localized firms.

In the energy (oil and gas) industry there are several large, established pipeline service companies that have various types of smart pigging technologies such as GE Pipeline Systems, Tuboscope, Rosen, TD Williams and Enduro. While a few of these companies have pipeline mapping capabilities, they are mainly focused on pipeline condition assessment which requires larger, more sophisticated and more expensive pigging equipment than is required by our Smart Probe™ technology.

The competitive conditions in our business relate to the nature of the contracts being pursued. Public sector contracts, consisting mostly of contracts with federal and state governmental entities, are generally awarded through a competitive process, subject to the contractor’s qualifications and experience. Our business employs cost estimating, scheduling and other techniques for the preparation of these competitive proposals. Private sector contractors compete primarily on the basis of qualifications, quality of performance, available technologies and price of services. Most private and public sector contracts for professional services are awarded on a negotiated basis.

We believe that the principal competitive factors (in the order of importance) in the areas of services we offer are: (i) quality of available technologies, (ii) quality of service, (iii) reputation, (iv) experience, (v) technical proficiency, (vi) local geographic presence, and (vii) cost of service. We believe that we are well-positioned to compete effectively by emphasizing the quality and proprietary nature of our technologies and the quality of services that we offer. We are also dependent upon the availability of staff and our ability to recruit qualified employees. A shortage of qualified technical professionals currently exists in the engineering industry in the United States.

Seasonality

It is possible that our contract revenue and income from operations may be slightly lower for our first fiscal quarter than for the remaining quarters due to the effect of winter weather conditions, particularly in the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest regions of the United States. Our GIS/data management activities should not be as directly impacted by seasonal weather conditions.

Personnel

We believe that our success will greatly depend on our ability to identify, attract and retain capable employees. As of December 31, 2009, we had 60 employees. We believe that our relations with these employees

 

22


Table of Contents

are good. None of our employees are represented by a labor union or otherwise represented under a collective bargaining agreement.

Environmental Compliance

As our services are applicable to a large number of pipeline industry segments, we will be working, in many cases, in and around environmentally-sensitive areas, and with pipeline materials that may require specific environmental training and strict environmental procedures and guidelines. Failure to comply with these federal, state, or local environmental regulations could result in substantial penalties or fines.

The enactment of various federal, state, and local environmental regulations, and variations in federal, state, and local funding for environmental compliance and enforcement of these regulations may have an effect on the capital expenditures of our clients, and thus may affect our ability to generate revenue.

Description of Property

Our headquarters office is located in Sarver, Pennsylvania. This building, which we lease from the Company’s Chairman/CEO, has approximately 3,200 square feet of office space and is used by our corporate and engineering/operations staff. Monthly rent under this lease is $6,500 per month. The lease expired on April 30, 2009, and continues on a month-to-month basis.

We lease a building of approximately 2,800 square feet in Albuquerque, New Mexico for the sales and operations staff of our Utility Services and Consulting Corporation subsidiary. Monthly rent under this lease is $1,870 per month through October 31, 2010, and $1,980 per month thereafter. The lease expires on October 31, 2011.

We believe that the Company’s existing facilities are adequate to meet its business needs for the foreseeable future.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings. No such action is contemplated by the Company nor, to the best of its knowledge, has any action been threatened against the Company.

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTANTS

Effective upon the consummation of the Merger, Pritchett Siler & Hardy, P.C. (“Pritchett, Siler & Hardy”) was dismissed as the principal accountant engaged to audit the financial statements of the Registrant. Pritchett, Siler & Hardy performed the audits of the Registrant’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005. During those periods and the subsequent interim periods prior to their dismissal, there were no disagreements with Pritchett, Siler & Hardy on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Pritchett, Siler & Hardy’s satisfaction, would have caused Pritchett, Siler & Hardy to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with Pritchett, Siler & Hardy’s reports, nor were there any “reportable events,” as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The audit reports of Pritchett, Siler & Hardy for the Registrant’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 did not contain an adverse opinion, or a disclaimer of opinion, or qualification or modification as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

The Company had requested Pritchett, Siler & Hardy to furnish it with a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made above by the Company. A copy of such letter, dated April 25, 2008, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 1, 2008.

Effective April 17, 2008, GMSI engaged Goff Backa Alfera & Co., LLC, (“Goff Backa Alfera”) as its principal accountants to audit GMSI’s financial statements. Prior to its engagement, neither GMSI nor Parent had consulted with Goff Backa Alfera with respect to: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements; or (iii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K). Upon the consummation of the Merger, Goff Backa Alfera continued as the auditor of the Registrant.

The Board of Directors of the Company approved the change in accountants described herein.

There are not and have not been any disagreements between the Company and its accountants on any matter of accounting principles or financial statement disclosure.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS

AND MANAGEMENT

The following tables set forth information, as of June 14, 2010, regarding beneficial ownership of our Common Stock to the extent known to us, by:

(i) each person who is known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our Common Stock;

(ii) each Director;

(iii) our Chief Executive Officer and our two most highly compensated officers other than our Chief Executive Officer who served in such capacities in 2009 (collectively, the “Named Executive Officers”); and

(iv) all of our Directors and Named Executive Officers collectively.

Unless otherwise noted, we believe that each person named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our Common Stock that he or she beneficially owns.

For purposes of these tables, a person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities that can be acquired by such person within 60 days from the date hereof upon exercise of options, warrants and convertible securities. Each beneficial owner’s percentage ownership is determined by assuming that options, warrants and convertible securities that are held by such person (but not those held by any other person) and that are exercisable within 60 days from the date hereof have been exercised.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

Common Stock

We are authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share.

Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote per share on all matters. Our bylaws provide that the persons receiving the greatest number of votes shall be elected as the directors. Stockholders do not have preemptive rights to purchase shares in any future issuance of our common stock. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, and after payment of creditors and preferred stockholders, if any, our assets will be divided pro-rata on a share-for-share basis among the holders of the shares of common stock.

Dividends, if any, will be contingent upon the Company’s revenues and earnings, if any, and the capital requirements and financial conditions of the Company. The payment of dividends, if any, will be within the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company presently intends to retain all earnings, if any, for use in its business operations and accordingly, the Board of Directors does not anticipate declaring any dividends.

In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive, ratably, the net assets available to stockholders after payment of all creditors. All of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. To the extent that additional shares of our common stock are issued, the relative interests of existing stockholders will be diluted.

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $.001 par value. Any voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions, relative rights and distinguishing designation of shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock are determined by the Board of Directors at issuance. On December 11, 2009 the Company filed a Certificate of Designations, Powers, Preferences and Rights of the Series A Preferred Stock of Geospatial Holdings, Inc. (the “Certificate of Designations”) with the state of Nevada. The Certificate of Designations designated 1,575,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”) with a $0.001 par value for issuance by the Company.

Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted.

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted at the option of the holder at any time or from time to time prior to the close of business on the business day before any date fixed for conversion of such share, as provided in the Certificate of the Designations. In addition, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is automatically converted upon the earliest to occur of: (i) immediately prior to the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in which shares of Common Stock are approved for listing on a national securities market, covering the offer and sale of Common Stock for the account of the Company in which the aggregate public offering price (before deduction of underwriters’ discounts and commissions) equals or exceeds $35,000,000 and the public offering price per share of which equals or exceeds $3, before deduction of underwriters’ discounts and commissions (ii) the Company’s receipt of the written consent of the holders of not less than 66 2/ 3% of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the conversion of all then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock; and (iii) June 7, 2010.

The holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are also entitled to a liquidation preference which entitles such holder to an amount per share upon liquidation equal to the original issue price of $1.00 and to antidilution protection.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling security holders and any of their pledges, donees, transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of the Company’s Common Stock on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board, at fixed or negotiated prices or in any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. The selling security holders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

   

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits investors;

 

   

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

   

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

   

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

   

privately negotiated transactions;

 

   

to cover short sales made after the date that the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the Commission;

 

   

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

 

   

broker-dealers may agree with the selling security holder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

   

a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

   

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling security holders may also sell shares in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including under Rule 144 thereunder, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling security holders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling security holders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling security holders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

The selling security holders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of Common Stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling security holders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling security holders under this prospectus.

In connection with the sale of our Common Stock or interests therein, the selling security holders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling security holders may also sell shares of our Common Stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling security holders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

Upon the Company being notified in writing by a selling security holder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of Common Stock through a block trade, special offering,

In addition, upon the Company being notified in writing by a selling security holder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell shares of Common Stock, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.

The selling security holders also may transfer the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

The selling security holders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of securities will be paid by the selling security holders and/or the purchasers. Each selling security holder has represented and warranted to the company that it acquired the securities subject to this registration statement in the ordinary course of such selling security holder’s business and, at the time of its purchase of such securities, such selling security holder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any such securities.

The Company has advised each selling security holder that it may not use shares registered on the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part to cover short sales of Common Stock made prior to the date on which the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, shall have been declared effective by the Commission. If a selling security holder uses this prospectus for any sale of the Common Stock, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling security holders will be responsible for complying with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and the rules and regulations thereunder promulgated, including, without limitation, Regulation M, as applicable to such selling security holders in connection with resales of their respective shares under the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

The Company is required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, but the company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the selling security holders without registration and without regard to any limitations by reason of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Common Stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling security holders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the Common Stock by the selling security holders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling security holders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2010

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared by Geospatial Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and regulations contained in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2010 should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been included, and all adjustments, unless otherwise discussed in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, are of a normal and recurring nature. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.

The use of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, Geospatial Mapping Systems, Inc., Utility Services and Consulting Corporation, and Geospatial Pipeline Services, LLC. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Note 9 – Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect per share amounts that would have resulted if dilutive potential Common Stock had been converted to Common Stock. The following reconciles amounts reported in the financial statements:

    Three Months Ended

   ($ 0.04   ($ 0.04
                

At March 31, 2010, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock were convertible into 1,968,750 shares of the Company’s common stock. The effect of the potential conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock was not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2010 because the effect of their conversion would be antidilutive.

The effect of the potential conversion of the Smith Convertible Note to 31,134 shares of common stock was not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2009 because the effect of its conversion would be antidilutive.

The effects of options to purchase 12,225,000 shares of common stock, and warrants to purchase 9,866,272 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2010 because the effect of their conversion would be antidilutive.

Note 10 – Subsequent Events

On April 30, 2010, the Company paid Reduct an advance payment on equipment of $2,450,000. Upon this payment, the Amended Reduct License Agreement became effective.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Geospatial Holdings, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Geospatial Holdings, Inc. (a Nevada corporation) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Geospatial Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses since inception. Operations and capital requirements since inception have been funded by sales of stock and advances from its chief executive officer, and current liabilities exceed current assets by $3,862,583. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2009 and 2008

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

This summary of significant accounting policies of Geospatial Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) is presented to assist in the understanding of the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of the financial statements. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Nature of Operations

The Company utilizes innovative proprietary technologies to acquire and manage data related to underground assets. The Company’s services include pipeline data acquisition, utility locating, professional data management, and pipeline field services. The Company is located in Sarver, Pennsylvania, and provides services throughout the United States. The Company also provides services on a limited basis in Canada.

Consolidation

The Company’s financial statements include wholly-owned subsidiaries Geospatial Mapping Systems, Inc. (“GMSI”), Utility Services and Consulting Corporation, and Geospatial Pipeline Services, LLC. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

On April 25, 2008, Kayenta Kreations, Inc. (“Kayenta”) acquired all the outstanding common stock of GMSI pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated March 25, 2008. Upon consummation of the Merger Agreement, GMSI became a fully-owned subsidiary of Kayenta, which was subsequent renamed “Geospatial Holdings, Inc.” Because GMSI’s stockholders owned a majority of the company upon consummation of the Merger Agreement, GMSI was deemed to be the acquiring entity. Accordingly, all historical financial information prior to the consummation of the Merger Agreement contained in these financial statements is that of GMSI.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Estimates and assumptions which, in the opinion of management, are significant to the underlying amounts included in the financial statements and for which it would be reasonably possible that future events or information could change those estimates include:

 

   

Impairment assessment of intangible assets;

 

   

Estimated useful lives of property and equipment;

 

   

Estimated costs to complete fixed-price contracts;

 

   

Realization of deferred income tax assets.

These estimates are discussed further throughout these Notes to Financial Statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

December 31, 2009 and 2008

 

Accounting Method

The Company’s financial statements are prepared on the accrual method of accounting.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts from the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Foreign Currency

The Company’s functional currency is the United States dollar. The Company transacts business in foreign currencies. At the date a foreign currency transaction is recognized, each asset, liability, revenue, expense, gain, or loss arising from the transaction is measured and recorded in United States dollars using the exchange rate in effect at that time. At each balance sheet date, balances that will be settled in foreign currencies are adjusted to reflect the current exchange rate. Any gain or loss resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates is included in net income in the period in which the exchange rate changes.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are presented in the statement of financial position net of estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company records an allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts in an amount approximating anticipated losses. Individual uncollectible accounts are written off against the allowance when collection of the individual accounts appears doubtful. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $10,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes, and accelerated methods for tax purposes, based on estimated useful lives ranging from three to ten years. Depreciation expense was $183,896 and $150,926 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that materially extend the useful lives of assets are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

The Company leases vehicles, field equipment, and office equipment under leases with terms of two to three years. Each lease is analyzed using the criteria in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 840, Leases , to determine whether the lease is a capital or operating lease. Capital leases are recorded at the inception of the lease as property and equipment, and a capital lease liability of the same amount, at the lesser of the fair value of the leased asset or the present value of the minimum lease payments. Assets recorded under capital lease agreements are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation of assets recorded under capital leases is included with depreciation expense related to owned assets. At December 31, 2009, assets under capital leases and the related accumulated depreciation amounted to $930,946 and $23,734, respectively. The company had no assets under capital lease at December 31, 2008.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of exclusive license rights to the patent pending DuctRunner Smart Probe™ technology. The Company licenses the technology from Reduct NV (“Reduct”), a Belgian company, the developer of the technology, under an Exclusive License and Distribution Agreement dated August 3, 2006 (as amended, the “Original Reduct License Agreement”). The Original Reduct License Agreement provides the Company with exclusive control rights to the DuctRunner Smart Probe™ technology throughout the continents of North America, South America, and Australia. The Company recorded total license fees of $1,367,000 upon use of the license. During 2009 and 2008, the Company incurred expense of approximately $3,100,000 and $1,206,000, respectively, in connection with maintenance of the license.

On December 15, 2009, the Company, Reduct, and Delta Networks Ltd., SA, (“Delta”) a Luxembourg company, the owner of substantially all of the capital stock of Reduct, entered into an Amended and Restated License and Distribution Agreement (the “Amended Reduct License Agreement”). The Amended License Agreement becomes effective upon an advance payment for purchase of Smart Probe™ equipment totaling $4,950,000 due January 31, 2010, and supersedes the Original Reduct License Agreement. The Amended Reduct License Agreement has an initial term of three years, and is renewable at the discretion of the Company for successive three-year terms. The Amended Reduct License Agreement restructures the payment and minimum purchase requirements that existed under the Original Reduct License Agreement.

In addition to the license fees, the Company is obligated to make minimum purchases of Smart Probes™. The minimum purchase requirements of the Amended Reduct License Agreement are set forth in Note 9.

Under the Original Reduct License Agreement, the license rights had an indefinite useful life. Accordingly, the rights were not amortized under FASB ASC 350, Intangible Assets—Goodwill and Other . Upon the execution of the Amended Reduct License Agreement, the Company determined that the license rights have an estimated useful life of twelve years. Accordingly, the license rights will be amortized over a twelve-year period beginning January 1, 2010. The useful life of the license rights is reviewed annually and the carrying value of the license rights is tested annually for impairment. Should the license rights be determined to be impaired, the value of the asset will be written down and a loss recognized in the period in which the asset’s recorded value exceeds its fair value.

Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures—Overall, establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

In accordance with FASB ASC 820, the Company is required to adjust the carrying value or provide valuation allowance for its license fee intangible assets using fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis. These assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis. However, they are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence that impairment may exist.

The following table summarizes the assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of the measurement date, December 31, 2009, by level within the fair value hierarchy:

Intangible asset—license fees

   $ 1,367,000    $ —      $ —      $ 1,367,000

The license fee intangible asset is subject to impairment testing on an annual basis, or sooner if circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. The valuation uses assumptions such as interest and discount rates, growth projections, and other assumptions of future business conditions. These valuation methods require a significant degree of management judgment concerning the use of internal and external data. In the event that these methods indicate that fair value is less than carrying value, the asset would be recorded at fair value as determined by the valuation models. As such, the Company classifies license fee intangible assets subject to nonrecurring fair value adjustments in the hierarchy of disclosure inputs as Level 3.

Revenue Recognition

The Company records revenue when all of the following criteria are met:

 

   

Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

 

   

Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;

 

   

The price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and

 

   

Collectibility is reasonably assured.

Substantially all of the Company’s contracts for services are rendered under the following types of contracts:

Fixed-price contracts are contracts in which the Company’s clients are billed at defined milestones for an agreed amount negotiated in advance for a specified scope of work. Revenues for fixed-price contracts are recognized under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, whereby revenues are recognized ratably as those contracts are performed. This rate is based primarily on the proportion of contract costs incurred to date to total contract costs projected to be incurred for the entire project, or the proportion of measurable output completed to date to total output anticipated for the entire project.

Units of delivery contracts are contracts in which the Company’s clients are billed an agreed amount for each unit of service that is delivered to the client. Revenues for units of delivery contracts are recognized as each unit of service is completed.

Time-and-materials contracts are contracts in which the Company and the client negotiate billing rates, typically hourly, and bill based on the actual time expended, plus other direct costs incurred in connection with the contract. Revenues for time-and-materials contracts are recognized as the services are rendered.

Advance customer payments are recorded as deferred revenue until such time as they are recognized as revenue.

Revenues are recorded net of sales taxes collected.

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $160,554 and $4,623, respectively.

Deferred Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the Company to provide a net deferred tax asset or liability equal to the expected future tax benefit or expense of temporary reporting differences between book and tax accounting methods and any available operating loss or tax credit carryovers.

Deferred income taxes arise from the Company’s use of different accounting methods for financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes. The tax basis of certain start-up costs exceeds their basis for financial reporting purposes. The excess will be deductible for tax purposes as the start-up costs are amortized over 180 months. The basis for financial reporting purposes of certain license rights exceeds the tax basis of those license rights by the cumulative amortization for tax purposes. The excess will reverse if and when the license rights are written down due to impairment. The Company uses different methods of depreciation for tax and financial reporting purposes, resulting in different tax bases. This difference will reverse over the estimated useful lives of the Company’s property, plant and equipment. The tax basis of accounts receivable exceeds its basis for financial reporting purposes by the allowance for doubtful accounts. Amounts in the allowance for doubtful accounts will be deductible for tax purposes when specific accounts are deemed to be uncollectible. The tax basis of certain accruals exceeds its basis for financial reporting purposes. The excess will be deductible when the accrued amounts are paid. The tax basis of certain accrued expenses denominated in foreign currency exceeds its basis for financial reporting purposes by the amount of unrealized foreign currency losses. These losses will be deductible for tax purposes as the losses are realized when the accrued amounts are paid. The Company uses the completed contracts method of accounting for fixed-price contracts for tax purposes, and the percentage-of-completion method of accounting for fixed-price contracts for financial reporting purposes. The amount of revenue recorded for financial reporting purposes on contracts uncompleted at year end will be taxable, and the costs associated with those contracts will be deductible, when the contracts are completed. The Company has a net operating loss carryover from prior periods that is available to offset future taxable income.

The Company currently has a deferred tax asset resulting from the above differences in accounting methods for financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes. This deferred tax asset is completely offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of realization.

Stock-Based Payments

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation. The Company records compensation expense for employee stock options at the fair value of the stock options at the grant date, amortized over the vesting period. The Company records expense for stock options, warrants, and similar grants issued to non-employees at their fair value at the grant date, or the fair value of the consideration received, whichever is more readily available.

Segment Reporting

The Company operates one segment. Accordingly, no segment reporting is presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company adopted FASB ASC 740-10-25, Income Taxes—Overall—Recognition, on January 1, 2008. FASB ASC 740-10-25 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. FASB ASC 740-10-25 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing tax returns to determine whether the tax positions have met a “more-likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits related to tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are not permitted to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The adoption of FASB ASC 10-25 had a minimal impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations, which significantly changes the accounting for business combinations. Under FASB ASC 805, an acquiring entity is required to recognize, with limited exceptions, all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value. FASB ASC 805 changes the accounting treatment for certain specific acquisition related items including, among other items: expensing acquisition related costs as incurred; valuing noncontrolling interests at fair value at the acquisition date; and expensing restructuring costs associated with an acquired business. FASB ASC 805 also includes a substantial number of new disclosure requirements. As the provisions of FASB ASC 805 are applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition occurs after January 1, 2009, the full impact to the Company, while expected to be material, will be dependent upon any individual transactions consummated.

On September 30, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the Financial Accounting Standards Board to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Rules and interpretive releases of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements of Financial Accounting Standards, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates. Accounting Standards Updates will not be authoritative in their own right as they will only serve to update the Codification. These changes and the Codification itself do not change GAAP. Other than the manner in which accounting guidance is referenced, the adoption of these changes had no impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 2—Capital Stock

The Company has authorized 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters. Stockholders do not have preemptive rights to purchase shares in any future issuance of common stock. Upon the Company’s liquidation, common stockholders are entitled to a pro-rata share of assets, if any, after payment of creditors and preferred stockholders.

The Company has authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. All powers and rights of the shares of preferred stock are determined by the Company’s Board of Directors at issuance.

On December 11, 2009, the Company filed a Certificate of Designations, Powers, Preferences and Rights of the Series A Preferred Stock of Geospatial Holdings, Inc. (the “Certificate of Designations”) with the State of

 

F-12

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

December 31, 2009 and 2008

 

Nevada. The Certificate of Designations designated 1,575,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for issuance by the Company. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible to shares of common stock in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations. Each holder of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted. The holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to a liquidation preference equal to the original issue price, and a dividend preference over the holders of common stock.

Note 3—Merger

On April 25, 2008, Kayenta acquired all the outstanding common stock of GMSI pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

Prior to the closing of the Merger Agreement, Kayenta shareholders approved a 2.8 for 1 forward stock split, resulting in 3,685,618 shares of Kayenta common stock outstanding at the closing of the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Kayenta issued one share of Kayenta’s common stock in exchange for each outstanding share of GMSI’s common stock, resulting in 20,074,188 shares of Kayenta common stock, for a total aggregate number of shares of Kayenta common stock of 23,759,806 outstanding upon consummation of the merger. Upon completion of the merger, GMSI became a fully-owned subsidiary of Kayenta, which was subsequently renamed “Geospatial Holdings, Inc.,” and GMSI’s shareholders obtained majority ownership of the shares of common stock of Geospatial Holdings, Inc. After the merger, GMSI’s former stockholders owned approximately 84.5% of the common stock of the Company, and Kayenta’s stockholders owned approximately 15.5% of the common stock of the Company.

In accordance with Accounting and Financial Reporting Interpretations and Guidance issued by the staff of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the merger was accounted for as a recapitalization. Accordingly, all consideration paid and costs incurred pursuant to the merger were charged to expense, and no goodwill or other intangible asset was recorded. All historical financial information prior to the consummation of the Merger Agreement is that of GMSI. Kayenta’s results of operations have been included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations since the completion of the merger on April 25, 2008.

Prior to the merger, Kayenta was a public shell company as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The acquisition was undertaken to provide the Company a public shell.

Note 12—Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect per share amounts that would have resulted if dilutive potential common stock had been converted to common stock. The following reconciles amounts reported in the financial statements:

During 2009, the Company issued 1,575,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. At December 31, 2009, each share of Series A Preferred Stock was convertible into one share of common stock. Upon the occurrence of certain events, the conversion ratio of Series A Preferred Stock to common stock may change. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2009 because the effect of their conversion would be antidilutive.

The effect of the potential conversion of the Smith Convertible Note to 1,013,637 shares of common stock was not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2009 because the effect of its conversion would be antidilutive.

The effects of options to purchase 12,195,000 and 11,670,000 shares of common stock, and warrants to purchase 5,716,272 and 3,837,545 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, because the effect of their conversion would be antidilutive.

Note 13—Stock-Based Payments

On December 1, 2007, the Company adopted the 2007 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), under which the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) may award grants of options to purchase up to 15,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to eligible employees, directors, and consultants, subject to exercise prices and vesting requirements determined by the Committee. The Board of Directors has reserved 15,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for issuance under the Plan. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company granted options to purchase 675,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to eligible employees at prices ranging from $0.41 to $1.50 per share. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company granted options to purchase 1,870,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to eligible employees at prices ranging from $0.80 to $1.75 per share.

Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, management has determined that the stock options granted in 2009 and 2008 had no value. Accordingly, no compensation cost or other expense was recorded for the stock options. The current value of a share of the Company’s common stock used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model was determined by an independent valuation. The value per share as determined by the valuation was $0.27 and $0.16 per share as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

On June 6, 2007, the Company entered into an Agreement (the “2007 Agreement”) with Reduct to extend and amend the Original Reduct License Agreement.

On January 24, 2008, the Company granted warrants to purchase 87,545 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.55 per share to contractors. The warrants expire on January 24, 2018.

On December 18, 2008, pursuant to Amendment No. 3 to the Original Reduct License Agreement, the Company granted Delta warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at the lesser of $3.00 per share, or 85% of the price per share of any of the Company’s common stock or preferred stock sold in any subsequent offering. On December 21, 2009, pursuant to the Amended Reduct License Agreement, the exercise price on the warrants was changed to $0.43 per share. The warrants expire on December 31, 2013.

Pursuant to the Vosbein Employment Agreement, the Company granted warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.23 for ten years to Mr. Vosbein. Warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock vested immediately upon the grant, and with the balance vesting over twelve months.

Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, management has determined that the warrants to purchase the Company’s Common Stock granted to non-employees in 2009 and 2008 have no value. Accordingly, no expense was recorded upon the grants of the warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock. The current value of a share of the Company’s common stock used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model was determined by an independent appraisal.

During 2009, the Company issued 115,025 shares of the Company’s common stock as payment for services. The Company recorded expense of $115,025, the fair value of the services received.

Note 14—Going Concern

Since its inception, the Company has incurred net losses. In addition, the Company’s operations and capital requirements have been funded since its inception by sales of its common stock and advances from its chief executive officer. At December 31, 2009, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $3,862,583. Those factors, as well as the Company’s commitments under the Amended Reduct License Agreement (as discussed in Note 9) create an uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s management is developing a plan to secure financing sufficient for the Company’s operating and capital requirements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

We indemnify our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by Nevada law for the costs and liabilities of acting or failing to act in an official capacity. We also have insurance in the aggregate amount of $5 million for our directors and officers against all of the costs of such indemnification or against liabilities arising from acts or omissions of the insured person in cases where we may not have power to indemnify the person against such liabilities. Although we anticipate that the insurance policy will be issued shortly after the Effective Time, there can be no assurance that the insurance policy will be issued, or of the amount of coverage.

Insofar as indemnification by us for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable.

At the present time, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer, employee or other agent of ours in which indemnification would be required or permitted. We are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding which may result in a claim for such indemnification.

Item 17. Undertakings.

The registrant undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement; and notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) To include any additional or changed material information to the plan of distribution.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

Each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
