MORRIS BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT COMPANY

 

NOTES TO AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

SEPTMEBER 30, 2011

 

NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION 

 

On April 1, 1998, Morris Business Development Company (the Company or MBDC) was incorporated in California as Electronic Media Central Corporation (EMC) (formerly a division of Internet Infinity, Inc. (III)). The Company is engaged in providing services for the development and growth of both American public and private stock companies. The Company is also engaged in providing services for duplication, replication and packaging of DVDs and CDs. 

 

As of May 12, 2006 the Company filed Form N-54A with the United States Securities Exchange Commission to become a business development company by certifying that it is a closed-end company (mutual fund) organized and operated for the purpose of making investments in securities described in Section 55 (a)(1) through (3) of the Investment Company Act of 1940; and that it will make available significant managerial assistance to American companies with respect to issuers of such securities to the extent required by the act. 

 

On March 29, 2007 the Company registered a name change to Morris Business Development Company with the California Secretary of State. 

 

The Company has commenced the development of new management consulting services to assist American client companies in complying with the reporting requirements to the government and in communicating with shareholders, customers and the public and the accessing of needed growth capital. The Company has received 2.5 million shares from its first client for financial consulting work completed in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. 

 

In June, 2009 the Company entered into an agreement with Howell Capital Holdings, LLC operating as “More American Jobs” to help American companies prepare to access both government and private financial support. In addition, the Company will also commence a new participation relationship this month with Avalon Funding Corporation, an asset based lender focusing on accounts receivable and purchase order funding. 

 

On April 7, 2010 the Company entered into a Material Definitive Agreement with Video Army, LLC, and a California limited partnership to operate a (‘NEWCO”) business named “Internet Video / Morris BDC, LLC”, a California Limited Partnership and/or other registered DBAs. The business will provide financial and internet related services primarily for both private and thinly traded public stock American based companies. 

 

NOTE 2SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING   

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Statements 

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange commission (the “SEC”) as applicable to smaller reporting companies, and generally accepted accounting principles for interim accounting reporting. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally presented in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10. The results of the three month period ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending March 31, 2012. 

 

7
 

 

Cash and cash equivalents 

 

The Company considers all liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase that are readily convertible into cash to be cash equivalents. 

 

Use of estimates 

 

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

 

Fair value of financial instruments 

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASC (Accounting Standards Codification) 820-10 (SFAS No. 157), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" for financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. FASB ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. FASB ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required by the standard that the Company uses to measure fair value: 

 

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  

 

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.  

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.  

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments as of September 30, 2011, reflect    

Cash: Level One measurement based on bank reporting.   
Loans from Officers and related parties: Level 2 based on promissory notes.  

 

8
 

 

Income taxes 

 

The Company utilizes FASB ACS 740, “Income Taxes”, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. 

 

Stock Split 

 

Effective May 30, 2008, a ten-for-one stock split was affected. All per share amounts and share numbers presented herein have been retroactively restated for this adjustment. 

 

Advertising and Marketing Costs 

 

The Company expenses costs of advertising and marketing as incurred. Advertising and marketing expense for the years ended September 30, 2011 were insignificant. 

 

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share 

 

Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, for the period presented. Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilative convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. 

 

The Company has no potentially dilutive securities outstanding as of September 30, 2011. 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

 

In May, 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855, Subsequent Events, which established general standards of accounting and disclosure for events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. In accordance with ASC 855, the Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were filed. 

 

In June, 2009, the FASB issued their final SFAS, No. 168, “FASB Accounting Standards Codification ( “ASC”) and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. This was reflected in the codification as FASB ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. “ASC” is the single source of authoritative US generally accepted accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities. It is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. It will not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 

 

9
 

 

Marketable Securities 

 

The Company’s investments in securities are classified as available-for-sale and, as such, are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices. Securities classified as available-for-sale may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, liquidity needs, and for other purposes. 

 

Unrealized holding gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholder’s equity. Realized and unrealized gains and losses for securities classified as available-for-sale are included in the statement of operations and comprehensive gain, respectively. On September 30, 2011 and 2010, marketable securities have been recorded at $12,250 based upon the fair value of the marketable securities.

Realized and unrealized gains and losses for securities classified as available-for-sale are included in the statement of operations and comprehensive gain, respectively. On June 30, 2010, marketable securities have been recorded at $12,500 based upon the fair value of the marketable securities. 

 

NOTE 3UNCERTAINTY OF ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN  

 

The Company's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has accumulated deficit of $908,731 at September 30, 2011, and its total liabilities exceeds its total assets by $64,728. 

 

In view of the matters described above, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing and to succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. 

 

Management has taken the following steps to revise its operating and financial requirements, which it believes are sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is actively pursuing the new business development company activities and additional funding from strategic partners, which would enhance stockholders’ investment. Management believes that the above actions will allow the Company to continue operations through the next fiscal year.

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Forward-looking statements are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky. These risks and uncertainties include international, national and local general economic and market conditions; demographic changes; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth; our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; raw material costs and availability; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; and other risks that might be detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 

 

Although the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects. 

 

Overview 

 

We focus on the development of opportunities to invest in eligible portfolio companies providing early stage capital, strategic guidance and operational support. 

 

Our principal objective is consulting income and long-term capital appreciation. We may invest in debt securities of these companies, or may acquire an equity interest in the form of common or preferred stock, warrants or options to acquire stock or the right to convert the debt securities into stock. We may invest alone, or as part of a larger investment group. Consistent with our status as a BDC and the purposes of the regulatory framework for BDC’s under the 1940 Act, we will provide managerial assistance, potentially in the form of a consulting agreement or in the form of a board of director’s seat, to the developing companies in which we invest. 

 

In addition, we may acquire either a minority or controlling interest in mature companies in a roll-up strategy. It is anticipated that any acquisitions will be primarily in exchange for our common stock, or a combination of cash and stock. The principal objective of acquisitions pursuant to a roll-up strategy would be to consolidate an industry and either sell the acquired entities as a larger unit, or take the unit public through an initial public offering, spin-off to our shareholders, or reverse merger into a publicly traded shell corporation. 

 

We shall operate as an internally managed investment company until such time as we are ready to select either an independent or affiliated external management company. Our operations will be governed by an Investment Advisory Management Agreement to be entered into between us and a new investment advisory limited liability company which may be and probably will be formed and wholly-owned by our Chairman, George Morris. We have not elected to but plan to attempt to qualify without a guarantee of success or timing, to be taxed as a regulated investment company as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.

Our common stock trades on the over the counter bulletin board under the symbol “MBDE.” 

 

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern by our Board of Directors. Because we have historically incurred operating losses, and expect those losses to continue in the future, our Certified Public Accountants included an explanatory paragraph in their report raising substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. 

 

Regulation as a BDC 

 

Although the 1940 Act exempts a BDC from registration under that Act, it contains significant limitations on the operations of BDC’s. Among other things, the 1940 Act contains prohibitions and restrictions relating to transactions between a BDC and its affiliates, principal underwriters and affiliates of its affiliates or underwriters, and it requires that a majority of the BDC’s directors be persons other than “interested persons,” as defined under the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act also prohibits a BDC from changing the nature of its business so as to cease to be, or to withdraw its election as, a BDC unless so authorized by the vote of the holders of a majority of its outstanding voting securities. BDC’s are not required to maintain fundamental investment policies relating to diversification and concentration of investments within a single industry. 

 

Generally, a BDC must be primarily engaged in the business of furnishing capital and providing managerial expertise to companies that do not have ready access to capital through conventional financial channels. Such portfolio companies are termed “eligible portfolio companies.” More specifically, in order to qualify as a BDC, a company must (1) be a domestic company; (2) have registered a class of its equity securities or have filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (3) operate for the purpose of investing in the securities of certain types of portfolio companies, namely immature or emerging companies and businesses suffering or just recovering from financial distress; (4) extend significant managerial assistance to such portfolio companies; and (5) have a majority of “disinterested” directors (as defined in the 1940 Act). 

 

An eligible portfolio company (“EPC”) is, generally, a U.S. company that is not an investment company and that (1) does not have a class of securities registered on an exchange or included in the Federal Reserve Board’s over-the-counter margin list; or (2) is actively controlled by a BDC and has an affiliate of a BDC on its board of directors; or (3) meets such other criteria as may be established by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Control under the 1940 Act is generally presumed to exist where a BDC owns 25% of the outstanding voting securities of the company. 

 

The 1940 Act prohibits or restricts companies subject to the 1940 Act from investing in certain types of companies, such as brokerage firms, insurance companies, investment banking firms and investment companies. Moreover, the 1940 Act limits the type of assets that BDC’s may acquire to “qualifying assets” and certain assets necessary for its operations (such as office furniture, equipment and facilities) if, at the time of acquisition, less than 70% of the value of the BDC’s assets consist of qualifying assets. Qualifying assets include: (1) securities of companies that were eligible portfolio companies at the time the BDC acquired their securities; (2) securities of bankrupt or insolvent companies that were eligible at the time of the BDC’s initial acquisition of their securities but are no longer eligible, provided that the BDC has maintained a substantial portion of its initial investment in those companies; (3) securities received in exchange for or distributed in or with respect to any of the foregoing; and (4) cash items, government securities and high-quality short-term debt. The 1940 Act also places restrictions on the nature of the transactions in which, and the persons from whom, securities can be purchased in order for the securities to be considered qualifying assets. These restrictions include limiting purchases to transactions not involving a public offering and acquiring securities from either the portfolio company or its officers, directors, or affiliates. 

 

13
 

 

A BDC is permitted to invest in the securities of public companies and other investments that are not qualifying assets, but those kinds of investments may not exceed 30% of the BDC’s total asset value at the time of the investment. 

 

A BDC must make significant managerial assistance available to the issuers of eligible portfolio securities in which it invests. Making available significant managerial assistance means, among other things, any arrangement whereby the BDC, through its directors, officers or employees, offers to provide, and, if accepted does provide, significant guidance and counsel concerning the management, operations or business objectives and policies of a portfolio company. The portfolio company does not have to accept the BDC’s offer of managerial assistance, and if they do accept may be required to pay prevailing market rates for the services. 

 

We do not currently have any subsidiaries or EPC’s, however we do hold shares of “LPPI” granted to us for consulting services. We are actively seeking quality eligible portfolio companies in which to make an investment and provide managerial assistance.

Results of Operations 

  

Introduction 

  

During the three months ended September 30, 2006, we elected to become subject to certain sections of the Investment Company Act of 1940 by becoming a Business Development Company. Our consulting services continued to be our sole source of revenues for the quarter. 

  

Revenues and Income (Loss) from Operations 

 

Our revenue, cost of revenue, total operating expenses and income (loss) from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

Income (loss) from operations  $(3,451)  $(1,876)   (45.6)%  $(1,575)

 

Our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2011declinedto $0 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010 of $6,290and from $3,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. This reduction in revenues was a result of the lack of results from the unintentional low activity of our business development consulting services. 

 

Our revenues for the current quarter remained at zero with a reduction from a year earlier and our total operating expenses decreased by 57.7% to $3,451 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $8,166 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and $8,718 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. 

 

As a result of the above, our loss from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $3,451, compared to a loss of $1,876 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, and a loss of $6,318 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. 

  

Non-Operating Income (Expense) and Net Income (Loss) 

 

Our other income, interest expense, and net income (loss) for the three months ended September 30,2011, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

On September 20, 2009, the board of directors authorized George Morris, the chairman, director and officer of the Company, to convert up to $415,000 of the outstanding debt of the company to him into 6,916,667 shares of common stock at the price of $0.06 per share. The Company recorded the right of converting the debt into shares amounting to $415,000 as an expense in the accompanying financial statements as of September 30, 2009. Since George Morris did not convert his debt as of September 30, 2011, at the Board at a meeting of August 19, 2011, the independent Board of Director members again authorized and encouraged George Morris to convert at the current market price of $0.03 to reduce the debt of the Company. The decision to reduce the debt is based on the plan to seek more capital through a equity or debt raise for operations. The current principal balance of George Morris and his affiliate Apple Realty would convert into 11,348,133 shares at $0.03 per share. George Morris agreed to convert all or a majority of debt based on his tax accountant advice. 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

  

Introduction 

  

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we had a negative cash flow from operating activities of $5,913 and $5,125 cash flow from financing activities. We anticipate these numbers will improve. 

 

Our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, total current assets, total current liabilities, and total liabilities as of September 30, 2011, compared to September 30, 2010 and March 31, 2011, are as follows:

  

   September 30,   September 30,   March 31, 
   2011   2010   2011 
Cash  $627   $871   $1,415 
Accounts receivable            
Marketable Securities   12,500         12,500 
Total assets   12,627    13,371    13,913 
Total liabilities   77,855    74,442    70,330 

   

Cash Requirements 

  

Our cash requirements are expected to remain stable over the next 12 months. Our cash is utilized primarily for professional fees associated with being a public, reporting company and with the acquisition of eligible portfolio companies. 

 

Sources and Uses of Cash 

 

Operations and Financing 

 

During the six months ended September 30, 2011, we generated negative cash flow of $788. This was a result of net cash used by operating activities of $(5,913), offset by net cash provided in financing activities of $5,125. We anticipate that we will continue to operate at a small net loss and generate a small positive cash flow from the operations of our business services and consulting and loans from officers.

Critical Accounting Policies 

 

Our accounting policies are fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements. The following describes the general application of accounting principles that impact our consolidated financial statements. 

 

Our results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debt, inventories, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. 

 

We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. 

 

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk  

Since we have very few assets and only one operating division there is no quantitative information, as of September 30, 2011, about market risk that has any impact on our present business. Once we begin making investments in additional eligible portfolio companies we anticipate there will be market risk sensitive instruments and we will disclose the applicable market risk information at that time. 

 

Our primary financial instruments are cash in banks and money market instruments. We do not believe that these instruments are subject to material potential near-term losses in future earnings from reasonably possible near-term changes in market rates or prices. We do not have derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. We are not currently exposed to any material currency exchange risk. 

 

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures  

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective and are designed to provide reasonable assurances of achieving their objectives. Further, the Company’s officers concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures are also effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to its management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  

 

There were no significant changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting. 

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION 

 

ITEM 1. Legal proceedings 

In the ordinary course of business, we may be from time to time involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and it is possible that the resolution of such matters might have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and/or results of operations. However, in the opinion of our management, matters currently pending or threatened against us are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
