Competitive Companies, Inc
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these consolidated interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2010 and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K annual report. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.
The comparative financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2010 include the former wholly owned subsidiaries of Competitive Companies, Inc., DiscoverNet, Inc. and DiscoverNet of Wisconsin, LLC, which were previously acquired on April 2, 2009. On May 5, 2009, DiscoverNet, Inc. and DiscoverNet of Wisconsin, LLC filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code., and were subsequently converted to Chapter 7 before the bankruptcies were closed on October 21, 2010, and all matters relating to these entities were fully discharged.
Results of operations for the interim period are not indicative of annual results.
The Company is in the telecommunications industry with operations in San Antonio, Texas and Wisconsin. The Company’s Wisconsin operations consist of providing Dial-up, Wireless and DSL Internet services to businesses and residents within various markets throughout Wisconsin, the United States and Puerto Rico. The Company is focused on serving a wide array of customers as a general broadband internet service provider with a concentrated focus on fixed wireless for its broadband delivery.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.
Note 2 – Going Concern
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred continuous losses from operations, have an accumulated deficit of $5,181,690 and a working capital deficit of $714,672 at March 31, 2011, and have reported negative cash flows from operations over the last five years. In addition, we do not currently have the cash resources to meet our operating commitments for the next twelve months, and we expect to have ongoing requirements for capital investment to implement our business plan. Finally, our ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently encountered by entrance into established markets and the competitive environment in which we operate.
Since inception, our operations have primarily been funded through private equity financing, and we expect to continue to seek additional funding through private or public equity and debt financing.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient cash from operations to meet our cash needs and/or to raise funds to finance ongoing operations and repay debt. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to raise additional debt or equity capital and/or that our cash generated by our operations will be adequate to meet our needs. These factors, among others, indicate that we may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
Competitive Companies, Inc

In addition, the Company recognized and measured the embedded beneficial conversion feature present in the convertible debts by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of the feature to additional paid-in-capital. The intrinsic value of the feature was calculated on the commitment date using the effective conversion price of the convertible debt. This intrinsic value is limited to the portion of the proceeds allocated to the convertible debt.
The aforementioned accounting treatment resulted in a total debt discount equal to $160,438. The discount is amortized from the dates of issuance until the stated redemption date of the debts, consisting of various periods between six and nine months.
Five of the convertible notes, totaling $180,000 that created the beneficial conversion feature carry default provisions that place a (”maximum share amount”) on the note holders. The maximum share amount that can be owned as a result of the conversions to common stock by the note holders is 4.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of CCI. In the event that the lenders’ holdings exceed that threshold, the borrower shall pay to the note holder, within fifteen (15) business days an amount equal to 150% of the sum of (a) the then outstanding principal amount of the note, plus (b) accrued and unpaid interest, and (c) accrued and unpaid default interest.
Another convertible note in the amount of $5,000 resulted in a $753 beneficial conversion feature that is being amortized over the six month term of the convertible promissory note.
According to the terms of the Convertible Promissory Notes, the number of shares that would be received upon conversion was 36,290,844 shares at March 31, 2011.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded financial expenses in the amount of $35,427 attributed to the amortization of the aforementioned debt discount.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company issued 6,055,743 shares pursuant to the debt conversion in settlement of $29,000 of outstanding principal and $1,000 of accrued interest. The note was converted in accordance with the conversion terms, therefore no gain or loss has been recognized.
The Company recorded interest expense in the amount of $43,402 and $10,419 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively related to convertible debts.

Note 7 – Subsequent Events
Common Stock
On April 28, 2011, the Company issued 500,000 shares of restricted common stock to a law firm for legal services rendered. The total fair value of the common stock was $3,500 based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.
On May 2, 2011, CCI issued 4,000,000 shares of its $.001 par value common stock pursuant to a convertible debenture conversion request in the amount of $10,000, which consisted of $10,000 of principal. The note was converted in accordance with the conversion terms, therefore no gain or loss has been recognized.
Convertible Debt
On May 3, 2011 the Company received $35,000 in exchange for an unsecured convertible promissory note that carries an 8% interest rate and matures on October 13, 2011. The principal is convertible into shares of common stock at the discretion of the note holder at a price equal to fifty percent (50%) of the average of the three lowest trading bid prices of the Company’s common stock for the ten (10) trading days prior to the conversion date, or $0.0001 per share, whichever is greater.

Business
CCI is a Nevada corporation that acts as a holding company for its operating subsidiaries, as follows: (a) Competitive Communications, Inc. (“Competitive Communications”), which is an approved and regulated local and long distance telephone company, (b) CCI Residential Services Inc. (“CCI Residential”), which is a non-regulated telephone company providing local and long distance telephone, high-speed Internet, and cable television service to large apartment complexes, (c) DiscoverNet, Inc. (“DiscoverNet”), a company that provided web hosting, dial-up, wireless and DSL Internet services prior to being discharged in bankruptcy on October 21, 2010, (d) DiscoverNet of Wisconsin, LLC (“DiscoverNet, LLC”), a dormant entity that was discharged in bankruptcy on October 21, 2010, (e) Innovation Capital Management, Inc. (“ICM, Inc.”), a company that focuses on raising capital and developing joint ventures and acquisitions, and (f) Innovation Capital Management, LLC (“ICM, LLC”), a company that maintains management office operations, and (g) Wisconsin Wireless, LLC (“WW”), a company that provides web hosting, dial-up, wireless and DSL Internet services to businesses and residents within various markets throughout Wisconsin, the United States and Puerto Rico.
The telecommunications products and services provided by the Company and its subsidiaries include local telephone services, domestic and international long distance services, enhanced voice, data and Internet services, and cable TV service primarily to rural residential users and retail businesses. It is our intention in the future to provide bundled services to our customers as well as expand to customers beyond apartment complexes by providing additional services and options other than our current products.
Overview of Current Operations
Our headquarters are located in San Antonio, Texas, and we have an office in Eau Claire, Wisconsin where we provide web hosting, dial-up, wireless and DSL internet services to customers throughout rural areas in Wisconsin.
On April 2, 2009, we entered into an acquisition agreement and plan of merger whereby the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding interest of four private companies under common control by the Chief Executive Officer of CCI. Pursuant to the share exchange agreement, CCI acquired 100% of the combined equity of DiscoverNet, Inc., ICM, Inc., ICM, LLC and DiscoverNet, LLC. DiscoverNet, Inc. and DiscoverNet, LLC were subsequently discharged in bankruptcy under Chapter 7 on October 21, 2010.
Management continues to seek out mergers that will complement our business model and help us grow.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, we incurred net losses of $121,611 and $569,078, respectively. Our accumulated deficit at the end of March 31, 2011 was $5,181,690. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months.
Result of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
The following income and operating expenses tables summarize selected items from the statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the year ended March 31, 2010.

Revenues
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $41,109 compared to revenues of $55,027 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This resulted in a decrease in revenues of $13,918, or 25%.
Revenues decreased as satellite internet and other high speed internet services have caused our market share to diminish in rural service areas.
Due to this change in the environment of our traditional business operations, we have begun to pursue and investigate alternative revenue sources.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $16,406, a decrease of $45,914, or 74%, from $62,320 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. We were able to reduce cost of sales significantly in 2011 with the discontinuation of our entities discharged in bankruptcy during the 4th quarter of 2010, and are continuing to eliminate underutilized circuits. We have made continued efforts to continually manage and reduce costs, where applicable.
Gross profit as a percentage of revenue
Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased from (13%) for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to 60% for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased due to our ability to reduce cost of sales on more than a pro rata basis with our reduction in revenues due to the discharge of unprofitable entities in bankruptcy during the fourth quarter of 2010. Our fixed costs supporting the infrastructure of our cable services were reduced. Overall our gross profit has improved as a result of being able to better manage our cost of sales in relation to our decrease in revenues.

During the three months ended March 31, 2011 the Company received a total of $51,500 from a total of seven private lenders in exchange for unsecured convertible promissory notes at various dates from January 3, 2011 through March 30, 2011. The convertible promissory notes carry a 12.5% interest rate and mature 179 days from the origination date at various dates between July 2, 2011 and September 26, 2011. The principal is convertible into shares of common stock at the discretion of the note holder at a price equal to eighty percent (80%) of the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the twenty two (22) trading days prior to the conversion date, or 110% of the average closing price as of the Closing Date of the Note, whichever is greater.
On January 11, 2011 the Company received $25,000 in exchange for an unsecured convertible promissory note that carries an 8% interest rate and matures on October 13, 2011. The principal is convertible into shares of common stock at the discretion of the note holder at a price equal to fifty eight percent (50%) of the average of the three lowest trading bid prices of the Company’s common stock for the ten (10) trading days prior to the conversion date, or $0.0001 per share, whichever is greater.
Satisfaction of our cash obligations for the next 12 months.
As of March 31, 2011, our cash balance was $28,417. Our plan for satisfying our cash requirements for the next twelve months is through sales-generated income, sale of shares of our common stock, third party financing, and/or traditional bank financing. We anticipate sales-generated income during that same period of time, but do not anticipate generating sufficient revenue to meet our working capital requirements. Consequently, we intend to attempt to find sources of additional capital in the future to fund growth and expansion through additional equity or debt financing or credit facilities.
Going concern.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred continuous losses from operations, have an accumulated deficit of $5,181,690 and a working capital deficit of $714,672 at March 31, 2011, and have reported negative cash flows from operations over the last five years. In addition, we do not currently have the cash resources to meet our operating commitments for the next twelve months. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, and complications frequently encountered by entrance into established markets and the competitive nature of the industry in which we operate.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient cash from operations to meet our cash needs and/or to raise funds to finance ongoing operations and repay debt. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to raise additional debt or equity capital and/or that our cash generated by our operations will be adequate to meet our needs. These factors, among others, indicate that we may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
Summary of product and research and development that we will perform for the term of our plan.
We are not anticipating significant research and development expenditures in the near future.
Expected purchase or sale of plant and significant equipment.
We do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any plant or significant equipment as such items are not required by us at this time.
Significant changes in the number of employees.
As of March 31, 2011, we had seven full-time employees. Currently, there are no organized labor agreements or union agreements between us and our employees.
Assuming we are able to pursue additional revenue through acquisitions and/or strategic alliances with other companies we anticipate an increase of personnel and may need to hire additional employees. In the interim, we intend to use the services of independent consultants and contractors to perform various professional services when appropriate. We believe the use of third-party service providers may enhance our ability to control general and administrative expenses and operate efficiently.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of supplementary pro forma information for business combinations.” This update changes the disclosure of pro forma information for business combinations. These changes clarify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. Also, the existing supplemental pro forma disclosures were expanded to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. These changes become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2011. The Company’s adoption of this update did not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, “Intangible –Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts.” This update requires an entity to perform all steps in the test for a reporting unit whose carrying value is zero or negative if it is more likely than not (more than 50%) that a goodwill impairment exists based on qualitative factors, resulting in the elimination of an entity’s ability to assert that such a reporting unit’s goodwill is not impaired and additional testing is not necessary despite the existence of qualitative factors that indicate otherwise. These changes become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2011. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-18 regarding improving comparability by eliminating diversity in practice about the treatment of modifications of loans accounted for within pools under Subtopic 310-30 – Receivable – Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (“Subtopic 310-30”). Furthermore, the amendments clarify guidance about maintaining the integrity of a pool as the unit of accounting for acquired loans with credit deterioration. Loans accounted for individually under Subtopic 310-30 continue to be subject to the troubled debt restructuring accounting provisions within Subtopic 310-40, Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors. The amendments in this Update are effective for modifications of loans accounted for within pools under Subtopic 310-30 occurring in the first interim or annual period ending on or after July 15, 2010. The amendments are to be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
This item in not applicable as we are currently considered a smaller reporting company.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, William Gray, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the evaluation, Mr. Gray concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in timely alerting him to material information relating to us (including our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our periodic SEC filings and ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief financial officer, or person performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, for the following reasons:
|
●
|
The Company does not have an independent board of directors or audit committee or adequate segregation of duties.
|
|
●
|
All of our financial reporting is generated by our financial consultant.
|
|
●
|
We do not have an independent body to oversee our internal controls over financial reporting and lack segregation of duties due to the limited nature and resources of the Company.
|
We plan to rectify these weaknesses by implementing an independent board of directors and hiring additional accounting personnel once we have additional resources to do so.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
None
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Risks Relating to Our Business and Marketplace
We have incurred losses since inception and expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future. In addition, our poor financial condition raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $121,611 and $569,078, respectively. As of March 31, 2011, we had $28,417 in cash available to finance our operations and a working capital deficit of $714,672. Capital requirements have been and will continue to be significant, and our cash requirements have exceeded cash flow from operations since inception. We are in need of additional capital to continue our operations and have been dependent on the proceeds of private placements of securities and recent loans from an officer to satisfy working capital requirements. We will continue to be dependent upon the proceeds of future private or public offerings to fund development of products, short-term working capital requirements, marketing activities and to continue implementing the current business strategy. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the necessary capital to continue operations.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise funds to finance ongoing operations; however, we may not be able to raise sufficient funds to do so. Our independent auditors have indicated that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months. Because of these factors, an investor cannot determine if and when we will become profitable and therefore runs the risk of losing their investment.
If we are unable to obtain additional funding, our business operations will be harmed and if we do obtain additional financing our then existing stockholders may suffer substantial dilution.
We will require additional funds to expand our operations and believe the current cash on hand and the other sources of liquidity will not be sufficient to fund our operations through fiscal 2011. We anticipate that we will require approximately $500,000 to $1,000,000 to fund our continued operations for fiscal 2011, depending on revenue from operations. Additional capital will be required to effectively support the operations and to otherwise implement our overall business strategy. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. The inability to obtain additional capital will restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will likely be required to curtail our marketing and development plans and possibly cease our operations. Any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to our then existing stockholders.
We may acquire assets or other businesses in the future.
We may consider acquisitions of assets or other businesses. Any acquisition involves a number of risks that could cause the acquired business to fail to meet our expectations and adversely affect our prospects for profitability. For example:
|
●
|
The acquired assets or business may not achieve expected results;
|
|
●
|
We may incur substantial unanticipated costs, delays or other operational or financial problems when integrating the acquired assets;
|
|
●
|
We may not be able to retain key personnel of an acquired business;
|
|
●
|
Our management’s attention may be diverted; and
|
|
●
|
Our management may not be able to manage the acquired assets or combined entity effectively or to make acquisitions and grow our business internally at the same time.
|
If these problems arise we may not realize the expected benefits of an acquisition.
Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for us to continue as a going concern.
As a result of our accumulated deficit and deficiency in working capital at March 31, 2011 and other factors, our independent auditors have indicated that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments as a result of this uncertainty. The going concern qualification may adversely impact our ability to raise the capital necessary for the continuation of operations.
Our limited resources may prevent us from retaining key employees or inhibit our ability to hire and train a sufficient number of qualified management, professional, technical and regulatory personnel.
Our success may also depend on our ability to attract and retain other qualified management and personnel familiar with the telecommunications industry. Currently, we have a limited number of personnel that are required to perform various roles and duties as a result of our limited financial resources. We intend to use the services of independent consultants and contractors to perform various professional services, when appropriate, to help conserve our capital. If and when we determine to hire additional personnel, we will compete for such persons with other companies and other organizations, some of which have substantially greater capital resources than we do. We cannot give you any assurance that we will be successful in recruiting or retaining personnel of the requisite caliber or in adequate numbers to enable us to conduct our business.
Competition from companies with already established marketing links and brand recognition to our potential customers may adversely affect our ability to introduce and market our products.
The telecommunications industry is highly competitive. Many of our current and potential competitors have financial, personnel and other resources, including brand name recognition, substantially greater than ours, as well as other competitive advantages over us. Certain competitors may be able to secure product from vendors on more favorable terms, devote greater resources to marketing and promotional campaigns, and adopt more aggressive pricing than we will. There can be no assurance we will be able to compete successfully against these competitors, which ultimately may have a materially adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and potential products in the future.
We may not be able to provide our products and services if we do not connect or continue to connect with the traditional carriers, our primary competitors.
As a competitive carrier, we must coordinate with traditional carriers so that we can provide local service to customers on a timely and competitive basis. The Telecommunications Act created incentives for regional Bell operating companies to cooperate with competitive carriers and permit access to their facilities by denying such companies the ability to provide in-region long distance services until they have satisfied statutory conditions designed to open their local markets to competition. The regional Bell operating companies in our markets are not yet permitted by the FCC to offer long distance services. These companies may not be accommodating once they are permitted to offer long distance service. Currently, AT&T is permitted to offer both local and long distance services in some of our mutual service areas, but we have not yet noticed any impact on our markets.
Many competitive carriers, including us, have experienced difficulties in working with traditional carriers with respect to initiating, connecting, and implementing the systems used by these competitive carriers to order and receive network and wholesale services and locating equipment in the offices of the traditional carriers.
If we cannot obtain the cooperation of a regional Bell operating company in a region, whether or not we have been authorized to offer long distance services, our ability to offer local services in such regions on a timely and cost-effective basis will be harmed.
Risks Relating to our Common Stock
If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
Companies trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, such as us, must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board. More specifically, FINRA has enacted Rule 6530, which determines eligibility of issuers quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board by requiring an issuer to be current in its filings with the Commission. Pursuant to Rule 6530(e), if we file our reports late with the Commission three times in a two-year period, or our securities are removed from the OTC Bulletin Board for failure to timely file twice in a two-year period then we will be ineligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board for one year. We have had one late filing and have once been removed from the OTC Bulletin Board in the last two years. Therefore, we must not have two more late filings or have our securities removed from the OTC Bulletin Board, within the two year period, otherwise we will be in jeopardy of being dequoted from the OTC Bulletin Board for a one year period. If our common stock is removed from the OTC Bulletin Board, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities and the ability of stockholders to trade their securities in the secondary market.
Our internal controls may be inadequate, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. It includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
We have a limited number of personnel that are required to perform various roles and duties. Furthermore, we have one individual, our CEO, who is responsible for monitoring and ensuring compliance with our internal control procedures. As a result, our internal controls may be inadequate or ineffective, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public. Investors relying upon this misinformation may make an uninformed investment decision.
Because our common stock is deemed a low-priced “penny stock,” an investment in our common stock should be considered high risk and subject to marketability restrictions.
Since our common stock is a “penny stock,” as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act, it will be more difficult for investors to liquidate their investment of our common stock. Until the trading price of the common stock rises above $5.00 per share, if ever, trading in the common stock is subject to the penny stock rules of the Securities Exchange Act specified in Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10. Those rules require broker-dealers, before effecting transactions in any penny stock, to:
|
●
|
Deliver to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosure document;
|
|
●
|
Disclose certain price information about the stock;
|
|
●
|
Disclose the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any associated person of the broker-dealer;
|
|
●
|
Send monthly statements to customers with market and price information about the penny stock; and
|
|
●
|
In some circumstances, approve the purchaser’s account under certain standards and deliver written statements to the customer with information specified in the rules.
|
Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell the common stock and may affect the ability of holders to sell their common stock in the secondary market and the price at which such holders can sell any such securities. These additional procedures could also limit our ability to raise additional capital in the future.
FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that, in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
