NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2005
(Unaudited)
(Stated in U.S. Dollars)
1. | ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | |
a) | Organization | |
Digital Ecosystems Corp. (the Company), a development stage company, was incorporated in Nevada on February 21, 2002. |
||
|
||
The Company is engaged in the business of providing consumers with clean and pure bottled and bulk drinking water through various distribution methods, and the provision of the various technologies that make water purification possible. As at September 30, 2005, the Company is evaluating whether to continue their water business and is considering pursuing other opportunities in the oil and natural gas business. |
||
|
||
The Companys Board of Directors approved a stock split during the period ended September 30, 2005. All share and per share amounts for the period ended September 30, 2005 and comparative amounts for all periods presented have been restated to reflect the forward stock split unless otherwise indicated. |
||
|
||
b) | Basis of Presentation |
|
|
||
The unaudited financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the Companys financial position and the results of its operations for the periods presented. This report on Form 10-QSB should be read in conjunction with the Companys financial statements, and notes thereto, included in the Companys Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read, or have access to, the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year, and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. Accordingly, footnote disclosure, which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the Companys Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, has been omitted. The results of operations for the six month period ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending March 31, 2006. |

1. | ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued) | |
b) |
Basis of Presentation (Continued) |
|
|
|
|
The accompanying financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of September 30, 2005, the Company had $88 in cash, negative working capital of $53,855, and accumulated net losses of $207,322 since inception. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company does not have sufficient cash on hand to fund its proposed expenditures for the next twelve months and will require additional funding. These factors raise substantial doubts that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. Its continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing or refinancing as may be required, to develop commercially viable products and processes, and ultimately to establish successful operations. The Company anticipates covering its costs by operating revenues and additional equity financing. If the Company is unable to complete its financing requirements or achieve revenue as projected, it will then modify its expenditures and plan of operations to coincide with the actual financing completed and actual operating revenues. |
||
|
|
|
The Company is not currently earning any revenues. |

INTRODUCTION
We are a development stage company in the business of developing and operating an internet based drinking water information and order service (the Water Business) at our website www.digitalecosystems.com (the Website). The Website is focused on providing consumers with current and comprehensive sources of bottled and bulk water, water information and water treatment options delivered through a website that aggregates and affiliates with national/regional, state-provincial, and large municipal bottled water companies and equipment manufacturers. Our plan of operation is to develop a comprehensive one-stop-shop source of water and water information and to become established as a significant industry distributor. We conduct our business through agreements with consultants and arms-length third parties.
Recent Corporate Developments
We have not earned revenues to date, and from inception to September 30, 2005, we have suffered cumulative losses in the amount of $207,322. We are presently evaluating whether to continue developing our Water Business and are considering pursuing other opportunities in the oil and natural gas business, in part based on our current managements experience in the natural resource industry. Mr. Gregory Leigh Lyons, who was appointed as our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, president, secretary, treasurer and as our sole director on September 15, 2005, has more than 21 years of domestic and international experience in operations, P&L management, strategic planning and positioning, acquisition, and project management with both start-up and mature organizations. Most of his career has been spent in the oil and gas exploration and production business sector.
Since the completion of our last fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005, we have experienced the following corporate developments:
1. |
We entered into a Marketing Management Services Contract (the Marketing Agreement) with Chorus Marketing (Chorus) dated October 15, 2005. Pursuant to the terms of the Marketing Agreement, we agreed to pay Chorus $5,000 per month in consideration of which Chorus agreed to act as our representative and oversee the coordination of marketing initiatives on our behalf including: brand identity, website design and development, investor information packages, copywriting, editing and proofing and news release dissemination |
3
services. We further agreed to reimburse Chorus for all disbursements reasonably incurred by Chorus for the purpose of providing the consulting services to us. The Marketing Agreement is for a term of one year and expires on October 16, 2006. | |
2. |
We entered into a loan agreement (the Loan Agreement) with Carnavon Trust Reg. (Carnavon), a domiciled discretionary trust of Lichtenstein, dated for reference October 11, 2005. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement we received a loan of $100,000 (the Loan) which we agreed to repay by October 11, 2006 with interest on the Loan payable at an annual rate of 12%. Upon maturity of the Loan, Carnavon has the option to convert the Loan amount at a price equal to the closing price of our common stock quoted on the over- the-counter bulletin board on the day preceding the day we receive the notice of conversion. |
3. |
We entered into a consulting agreement with Beneficial Designs, Inc. (BDI) dated October 1, 2005 (the Consulting Agreement), pursuant to which BDI agreed to provide Digital Ecosystems with certain marketing and investor relations services in consideration of which we are to pay $10,000 per month to BDI. We further agreed to reimburse BDI for all disbursements reasonably incurred by BDI for the purpose of providing the consulting services to Digital Ecosystems. The Consulting Agreement commenced October 1, 2005 and terminates on October 31, 2006. The Consulting Agreement may be terminated by either party on 30 days written notice with the exception that during the first 90 day probationary period of the Consulting Agreement we may at our option terminate the Consulting Agreement. |
4. |
Effective September 16, 2005, we completed a ten-for-one split of our issued and outstanding common stock. As a result of the stock split, our authorized capital has increased from 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share, of which 2,870,000 shares were issued and outstanding, to 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share, of which 28,700,000 are issued and outstanding. As a result of the stock split, the symbol under which our shares trade on the OTC Bulletin Board has been changed from DECS to DGEO, effective September 16, 2005. |
5. |
On September 15, 2005, Mr. Gregory Leigh Lyons acquired 250,000 (pre-split) shares of our common stock from Ms. Valentina Tuss for consideration of $20,000 paid from personal funds. At the same time, Ms. Tuss surrendered for cancellation 6,250,000 (pre-split) shares held by her. As a result of the share transfer and share cancellation by Ms. Tuss, Mr. Lyons holds 8.7% of the outstanding shares of our common stock and is our largest shareholder. |
The purchase of the shares by Mr. Lyons and the cancellation of the shares by Ms. Tuss were completed under a share transfer and cancellation agreement dated September 1, 2005 (the Share Transfer and Cancellation Agreement). Under the terms of the Share Transfer and Cancellation Agreement, on September 15, 2005 Ms. Tuss resigned as president, chief executive officer and a director of Digital Ecosystems and Mr. Geoffrey O. Last resigned as our chief financial officer, secretary, treasurer and as a director. Following the resignations of Mr. Last and Ms. Tuss, Mr. Lyons was appointed as our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, president, secretary, treasurer and as our sole director. | |

On September 15, 2005, we entered into a loan agreement with Enerex Capital Corp. (the lender), whereby the lender agreed to loan us $8,424 ($10,000 CDN). The loan bears no interest and is repayable within 60 days. |

Water Business
Our Water Business is intended to serve customers through a website that directs regional sales to the local area affiliate and coordinates sales and distribution. We intend to aggregate contacts in the water industry to provide the most comprehensive catalog of water products and bring them to communities in North America with plans to expand globally. The products we intend to offer cover a range from:
(a) | Bottled water applications; |
|
(b) | Information and reports on the water industry; and |
|
(c) | A community based website whereby people can educate themselves about water and the water industry. |
Our objective is to provide the consumer and researcher with current information about bottled water. By offering a comprehensive one-stop-shop source of water and water information, we hope to become established as a significant industry distributor. The opportunity exists now because the convergence of widespread consumer access to the internet and inexpensive and robust web technology has made it feasible to offer information at low cost.
Subject to our determination as to whether to continue developing our Water Business, our business plan is to use the Website to earn revenues from the following sources:
(a) | Reselling private label reselling agreements; |
|
(b) | Establishing additional affiliations to capture advertising revenue; and |
|
(c) | Sale of products and all e-commerce transactions originating from the Website. |
We have not earned any revenues to date. Subject to our determination as to whether to continue developing our Water Business we plan to use the Website to earn revenues from advertising, sales of products and all e-commerce transactions originating from the Website. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we complete the marketing, promotion and development of the Website.
PLAN OF OPERATION
We have not earned any revenues to date, and from inception to September 30, 2005, we have suffered cumulative losses in the amount of $207,322. We are presently evaluating whether to continue developing our Water Business and considering pursuing other opportunities in the oil and natural gas business.
Subject to our determination as to whether to continue developing our Water Business and our ability to obtain additional financing, the following are the highlights our milestones and objectives for developing and marketing our Website over the next twelve months:

8. Implement marketing and advertising campaign. | $12,000 | 9 - 12 months |
TOTAL | $30,000 | - |
We anticipate that we will spend approximately $207,000 over the next twelve months on the following expenses:
Category | Planned Expenditures over the Next Twelve
Months (US$) |
Professional Fees | $15,000 |
Office Expenses | $12,000 |
Consulting Fees | $180,000 |
TOTAL | $207,000 |
We presently do not have sufficient cash on hand to fund our proposed expenditures for the next twelve months, and will require additional financing to pursue our stated plan of operation. As a result, we have not made any significant progress in pursuing our plan of operation since the completion of our fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. Further marketing and development work on our Website, also will require additional funding in the event that our current cash on hand is insufficient for any additional work proposed.
We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund additional expenditures. The risky nature of this enterprise and lack of tangible assets places debt financing beyond the credit-worthiness required by most banks or typical investors of corporate debt until such time as we generate revenues from our Website operations. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing.
Revenues
We have not earned any revenues to date and we do not anticipate earning revenues in the near future. We are a development stage company and presently have only nominal operations and assets.

Net Increase (Decrease) in Cash During Period | $(3,926) | $24,660 |
The decreases in our working capital surplus at September 30, 2005 from our year ended March 31, 2005, and the increases in our cash used during the periods ended on September 30, 2005, from the comparable periods of the preceding fiscal year are primarily a result of the increase in our professional fees related to the professional fees paid in connection with preparing and filing our Registration Statement on Form SB-2 and the amendments thereto and from the fact that we had no revenue or sources of financing during the period ended September 30, 2005.
Future Financings
From inception to September 30, 2005, we have suffered cumulative losses in the amount of $207,322. We are presently evaluating whether to continue developing our Water Business and considering pursuing other opportunities in the oil and natural gas business. We expect to continue to incur substantial losses as we continue the development of our business.
Since our inception, we have funded operations through common stock issuances, related party loans, and the support of creditors in order to meet our strategic objectives. Our management believes that sufficient funding will be available to meet our business objectives and working capital needs and are currently evaluating several financing options. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient funds to continue the development of and, if successful, to earn revenues from the operation of, our Website. As a result of the foregoing, our independent auditors believe there exists a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no 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.
7
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We have identified certain accounting policies, described below, that are the most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations.
Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with United States 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 as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results in future periods could be different from these estimates made.
Start-Up and Development Costs
Since inception, certain expenditures have been incurred primarily for product development, business development, market development and financing purposes. While these expenditures are intended to benefit future periods, we follow the accounting policy of expensing as incurred those expenditures not identified with specific projects or financing activities.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income (loss) and its components in financial statements. Comprehensive loss, as defined, includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. To date, we have not had any significant transactions that are required to be reported in other comprehensive income (loss).
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this prospectus before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed. The trading price of our common stock, when and if we trade at a later date, could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
We Have Yet To Attain Profitable Operations And Because We Will Need Additional Financing To Fund The Development Of Our Website, Our Accountants Believe There Is Substantial Doubt About Our Ability To Continue As A Going Concern.
We have incurred a net loss of $207,322 for the period from inception to September 30, 2005, and have earned no revenues to date. Our future is dependent upon future profitable operations from the development of our Website. These factors raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern. We have cash in the amount of $88 as of September 30, 2005. Our total expenditures over the next twelve months are anticipated to be approximately $207,000, the majority of which is due to consulting fees and expenditures related to general, legal, accounting and administrative expenses as a result of our becoming a reporting issuer under the Exchange Act. We presently do not have sufficient cash on hand to fund our proposed expenditures for the next twelve months and will require additional financing. Further marketing and development work on our Website will also require additional funding in the event that our cash on hand is insufficient for any additional work proposed.
8
Our financial statements included with this Quarterly Report have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. If we are not able to earn revenues, then we may not be able to continue as a going concern and our financial condition and business prospects will be adversely affected. These factors raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern and adversely affect our ability to obtain additional financing.
Our Short Operating History Makes our Business Difficult To Evaluate, Accordingly, We Have A Limited Operating History Upon Which To Base An Evaluation Of Our Business And Prospects.
We have a limited operating history upon which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects. Our business and prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets such as electronic commerce. These risks include: the initial completion of a developed product, the demand for the companys product, the companys ability to adapt to rapid technological change, the level of product and price competition, the companys success in setting up and expanding distribution channels and whether the company can develop and market new products and control costs.
To address these risks, we must successfully implement our business plan and marketing strategies. We may not successfully implement all or any of our business strategies or successfully address the risks and uncertainties that we encounter.
We Have No Revenues, Accordingly, There Is No Assurance That We Will Be Able To Generate Revenues From Sales Commissions And Advertising Or That The Revenues Generated Will Exceed The Operating Costs Of Our Business.
Our business and marketing strategy contemplates that we will earn a substantial portion of our revenues from sales commissions and advertising. We have no history of earning revenues and there is no assurance that we will be able to generate revenues from sales commissions and advertising or that the revenues generated will exceed the operating costs of our business. Customers may not accept our Website as an acceptable source of water supply services.
Operating Results Are Difficult To Predict, With The Result That We May Not Achieve Profitability And Our Business May Fail.
Our future financial results are uncertain due to a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. These factors include:
(1) | Our ability to successfully market our Website and the Water Business; |
|
(2) | Our ability to generate revenue through the Website and the Water Business; |
|
(3) | The timing, cost and availability of services on Websites comparable to ours and other non-web services; |
|
(4) | The amount and timing of costs relating to expansion of our operations; |
|
(5) | The announcement or introduction of competing websites and products of competitors; and |
|
(6) | General economic conditions and economic conditions specific to the internet and electronic commerce. |
|
(7) | Our ability to transition the business from the Water Business to the Oil and Gas Business, should we determine to pursue that strategy. |
9
These factors could negatively impact on our financial results, with the result that we may not achieve profitability and our business may fail.
We Will Require Additional Financing And May Not Be Able To Continue Operations If Additional Financing Is Not Obtained.
As of September 30, 2005, we had cash in the amount of $88. Our total expenditures over the next twelve months are anticipated to be approximately $207,000 the majority of which is due to consulting fees and general, legal, accounting and administrative expenses associated with our becoming a reporting issuer under the Exchange Act. Further marketing and development work on our Website will require additional funding in the event that our current cash on hand is insufficient for any additional work proposed. After the twelve month period, we will require additional financing for any operational expenses and to pursue our plan of operation. We have no agreements for additional financing and there can be no assurance that additional funding will be available to us on acceptable terms in order to enable us to complete our plan of operation.
Recognition Of The Website Is Essential To Growth Of The Water Business, If We Are Unsuccessful In Building Strong Recognition Of The Website, Then We May Not Be Able To Achieve Revenues.
We believe that the successful marketing, development and promotion of the Website is critical to our success in attracting customers. Furthermore, we believe that the importance of customer awareness will increase as low barriers to entry encourage the proliferation of websites. If we are unsuccessful in building strong recognition of the Website, then we may not be able to achieve revenues. Our Website is intended to be marketed through various techniques including: search engine placement, opt-in newsletters, links, cross branding and banner ads. Supplier candidates are expected to be identified for each geographic region we have targeted. Candidates for supply or representation agreements are expected to be bottled water companies. Alliances are intended to be formed with local companies in the bottled industry in each area. A similar process is intended to be followed in each region as we expand. The marketing and promotion efforts contemplated by us may not be successful in creating business awareness of the Website or in enabling us to achieve revenues.
We Will Rely On Our Internet Service Provider For The Operation Of Our Business, If The Quality Of Products And Services Provided By Our Internet Service Provider Falls Below A Satisfactory Standard, Our Business Could Be Harmed.
Our current state of technology involves utilizing commercially available licensed technology to operate our web portal, through Kekko Enterprises Inc., the host and monitor of our Website and our internet service provider. The hosting is run through a server called Hayasa Networks at www.hayasa.com. The server is co-located in Kelowna, British Columbia and connected to large local providers including SHAW BigPipe, TELUS Business Internet services and other smaller local providers in the area.
We depend on our internet service provider for the following:
(1) |
we do not own a gateway onto the internet, but instead rely on an internet service provider to connect the Website to the internet; and | |
(2) |
the Website depends on operating system, database, and server software that has been developed, produced by third parties. |
10
We are not substantially dependent on any third party. We have no formal agreements with our internet service provider and do not anticipate any difficulty in locating another internet service provider in the event we experience any disruption in service. However, if we are unable to locate another internet service provider within a sufficient amount of time, or if the quality of products and services provided by such third parties falls below a satisfactory standard, our business could be harmed. A disruption in service, whether due to internal technical or external factors, could result in customer dissatisfaction and loss of credibility. Also, our loss of or inability to maintain or obtain upgrades to certain licensed technology could result in delays in developing our systems until equivalent technology could be identified or developed, and integrated.
We Depend On Recruiting And Retaining Qualified Personnel And The Inability To Do So Would Seriously Harm Our Business.
Our success is dependent in part on the services of certain key management personnel, including G. Leigh Lyons, our sole director and officer. We presently do not have any formal or written agreements with our key management personnel providing services to us. The experience of our management is an important factor contributing to our success and growth and the loss of our management could have a material adverse effect on our company. Our future success also depends on our attracting, retaining and motivating highly skilled personnel and we may be unable to retain our key personnel or attract, assimilate or retain other highly qualified personnel in the future.
We may also experience difficulty in hiring and retaining highly skilled consultants with appropriate qualifications. Because of the technical nature of our products and services and the market in which we compete, our success depends on the continued services of our current executive officers and our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel in the information technology industry. Competition for qualified personnel in the information technology industry is intense. Even if we invest significant resources to recruit, train and retain qualified personnel, we may not be successful in our efforts.
A Disruption In Our Hosting Services, Whether Due To Internal Technical Or External Factors, Could Result In Customer Dissatisfaction And Loss Of Credibility.
Substantially all of our communications software and hardware and computer hardware is expected to be hosted at a remote facility in Vancouver, British Columbia. The hosts systems are vulnerable to damage from earthquake, fire, floods, power loss, telecommunications failures, break-ins and similar events. Despite the hosts implementation of network security measures, its servers may also be vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins, attempts by third parties deliberately to exceed the capacity of the hosts systems and similar disruptive problems. A disruption in service, whether due to internal technical or external factors, could result in customer dissatisfaction and loss of credibility. We do not have property and business interruption insurance to compensate for losses that may occur resulting from such problems.
We May Not Be Able To Protect Our Proprietary Rights, And Our Inability Or Failure To Do So Could Result In Loss Of Competitive And Commercial Advantages That We Hold.
Our performance and ability to compete are dependent to a significant degree on our ability to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights. Presently our intellectual property consists of our domain name www.digitalecosystems.com and our trade name Digital Ecosystems.
We may not be able to protect our proprietary rights, and our inability or failure to do so could result in loss of competitive and commercial advantages that we hold. Additionally, we may choose to
11
litigate to protect our intellectual property rights, which could result in a significant cost of resources and money. We cannot assure success in any such litigation that we might undertake.
Because We Are Significantly Smaller And Less Established Than A Majority Of Our Competitors, We May Lack The Financial Resources Necessary To Compete Effectively And Sustain Profitability.
We operate in competitive, fragmented industries and compete for clients with a variety of larger and smaller companies that offer similar products and services. Many of these competitors are more established, offer more products, services and features, have a greater number of clients, locations, and employees, and also have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, public relations, name recognition, and other resources than we have. While our objective is to continue to develop our Website, we currently or potentially compete with a variety of competitors involved in providing services via the internet. These competitors include:
(1) |
http://www.culligan.com | |
(2) |
http://www.pentawater.com | |
(3) |
http://www.waternet.com | |
(4) |
http://www.lakotawater.com | |
(5) |
http://www.purewaterinc.com | |
(6) |
http://www.bottledwaterweb.com | |
(7) |
http://www.allwater.com |
There are a number of web based water sites that offer similar content and services to us. They are, however, usually concerned with either contextual education such as current events related to the water industry, and or they sell only one particular product. We intend to aggregate a considerable line of products both in the bottled water sector and in the preparation of clean water with filters, reverse osmosis or desalination products.
Increased competition may result in the reduction in advertising fees, the reduction of use of the Website and the inability of our company to generate acceptance of the Website. Each of these factors would likely result in increased operating costs and the inability to generate revenues, any one of which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Many of our current and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, marketing, customer support, technical and other resources than us. As a result, such competitors may be able to attract potential users away from the Website, and they may be able to respond more quickly to changes in customer preferences or to devote greater resources to the development and promotion of their websites than we can.
Is A Penny Stock, Stockholders Will Be More Limited In Their Ability To Sell Their Stock.
The shares of our common stock constitute penny stocks under the Exchange Act. The shares will remain classified as a penny stock for the foreseeable future. The classification as a penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker/dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his or her investment. Any broker/dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares will be subject to rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Exchange Act. Rather than having to comply with these rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell a penny stock.
The "penny stock" rules adopted by the SEC under the Exchange Act subjects the sale of the shares of our common stock to certain regulations which impose sales practice requirements on broker/dealers. For example, brokers/dealers selling such securities must, prior to effecting the
12
transaction, provide their customers with a document that discloses the risks of investing in such securities.
Legal remedies, which may be available to you as an investor in "penny stocks", are as follows:
(a) |
if "penny stock" is sold to you in violation of your rights listed above, or other federal or states securities laws, you may be able to cancel your purchase and get your money back. |
(b) |
if the stocks are sold in a fraudulent manner, you may be able to sue the persons and firms that caused the fraud for damages. |
(c) |
if you have signed an arbitration agreement, however, you may have to pursue your claim through arbitration. |
If the person purchasing the securities is someone other than an accredited investor or an established customer of the broker/dealer, the broker/dealer must also approve the potential customer's account by obtaining information concerning the customer's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. The broker/dealer must also make a determination whether the transaction is suitable for the customer and whether the customer has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be reasonably expected to be capable of evaluating the risk of transactions in such securities. Accordingly, the SEC's rules may limit the number of potential purchasers of the shares of our common stock.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation Of Disclosure Controls And Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are, as of the date covered by this Quarterly Report, effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.
Changes In Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
In connection with the evaluation of our internal controls during our last fiscal quarter, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has determined that there have been no changes to our internal controls over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
