Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the shares of common stock offered
hereby also include an indeterminate number of additional shares of common stock as may from time to time
become issuable by reason of stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations or other similar
transactions.
|
|
(2)
|
|
Up to 1,625,744 shares of common stock are issuable by the Company in its discretion in payment of
principal and/or interest otherwise payable in cash related to outstanding 11% Secured Convertible
Debentures due January 15, 2013 (the Debentures) in a total amount of $3,655,000 issued to accredited
investors in January, 2008. The principal amount of the Debentures is convertible by the Debenture holders
(the Holders) at a fixed conversion price of $0.75 per share. Monthly interest payments are applicable
from February, 2008 and monthly principal amortization commences August 1, 2008 on a schedule which
requires that 5.56% of the original principal be paid monthly until final maturity. Principal and interest
may be paid either in cash or in shares of common stock (at the companys election) provided there is an
effective registration statement covering the shares to be issued or that the shares are eligible to be
sold under Rule 144. Shares of common stock applied in payment of interest are to be issued to the Holders
at a 15% discount to the closing bid price of the common stock for the average of the lowest five (5)
trading days during the previous twenty (20) days immediately preceding the payment date. The number of
shares required to be issued to pay interest would be reduced over time as the principal amount outstanding
is amortized. If we issue registered shares in lieu of cash to make a payment of principal, the shares are
issued at a conversion rate equal to 80% of the average daily closing price for our common shares for the
five (5) consecutive trading days preceding the principal and interest payment date. The registration fee
is based on the estimated number of shares required to discharge principal installments for a period of six
months at an assumed market price of $0.75 per share which is the highest price the company may use for
principal payments. The amount of shares being registered does not cover requirements of a more extended
period or correspond to the number of shares that would be required if all Debentures were converted. The
shares are not being registered for the purpose of an elective conversion by the Holder, however, because
recent amendments to Rule 144 will allow sales after a six months holding period to be made subject to Rule
144 requirements. Additionally, the Companys right to make payment in shares during the term of the
Debentures is limited by a 4.99% conversion cap. The Company may require the Purchaser to convert the
remaining principal amount outstanding on its Debenture to the extent the shares have been registered or
are eligible for sale under Rule 144 if the fair market value of our common stock for at least the
immediately preceding ten consecutive trading days is not less than 175% of the fixed conversion price.
This feature would result in full conversion if the average volume during a ten (10) day period is at least
100,000 shares per day, 50% conversion if volume is at least 75,000 shares per day, and 25% conversion if
the average volume during such ten (10) day period is at least 50,000 shares per day.
|
|
(3)
|
|
A total of 2,536,667 shares are issuable pursuant to the exercise of common stock warrants issued to
accredited investors in January, 2008 who acquired Debentures described in note 2 above. The common stock
warrants are exercisable at $1.00 per share and expire on January 15, 2013. The registration fee is based
on the exercise price of the common stock warrants pursuant to Rule 457(g).
|
|
(4)
|
|
Up to 100,000 shares are issuable pursuant to the exercise of a three year common stock warrant issued in
an asset purchase transaction completed by the Company in January 2008. The common stock warrants are
exercisable at $1.20 per share. The registration fee is based on the exercise price of the common stock
warrants pursuant to Rule 457(g).
|
The Registrant hereby amends this Registration Statement on such date or dates as may be
necessary to delay its effective date until the Registrant shall file a further amendment which
specifically states that this Registration Statement shall thereafter become effective in
accordance with
Section 8(a)
of the Securities Act of 1933 or until the Registration Statement
shall become effective on such date as the Commission, acting pursuant to Section
8(a)
, may
determine.

selling stockholders. However, we may receive up to $2,556,667 in proceeds from the exercise of
warrants to purchase certain of the shares of common stock offered hereby by the selling security

We are registering the offer and sale of these shares pursuant to a registration rights
agreement with the selling stockholders. This offering is not being underwritten. The shares
offered under this prospectus are being registered to permit the selling stockholders to sell the
shares from time to time in the public market at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may sell the shares through
ordinary brokerage transactions or through any other means described in the section titled Plan of
Distribution. The registration of these common shares does not necessarily mean that any of the
shares will be offered or sold by the selling stockholders.
Our common stock is traded on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol MVE. On May 1,
2008, the last reported sale price of our common stock was $0.2499 per share.

that would be required in order for the Company to pay all monthly
installments of principal and interest by means of share issuances
or the number of shares required if all debentures were converted
to common stock.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
We urge you to carefully read this entire prospectus, including the financial statements and
the information that is incorporated by reference into this prospectus. You should carefully
consider the information discussed under Risk Factors before you decide to purchase any of our
securities. All references to we, us or the Company mean Smart Move, Inc. and its wholly
owned subsidiaries.
Overview and History
Smart Move, Inc. is a Delaware Corporation. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms
our, we, us, and Smart Move refer to Smart Move, Inc. Our predecessor company, A Smart
Move, L.L.C. was organized as a Colorado limited liability company on August 11, 2004, and began
business operations in June 2005. Smart Move, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on December 5,
2005 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of A Smart Move, L.L.C. On December 6, 2006, when we commenced
our initial public offering, A Smart Move L.L.C. merged into Smart Move, Inc. The purpose of the
merger was to reorganize A Smart Move as a Delaware corporation. As a result of the merger, all
issued and outstanding shares of limited liability company membership interest in A Smart Move
L.L.C. automatically converted into two shares of Smart Move, Inc. common stock. All previously
issued and outstanding options, warrants and notes of A Smart Move, L.L.C. that previously had been
exercisable to purchase or convertible into a share of membership interest of A Smart Move, L.L.C.,
became exercisable or convertible into two s hares of Smart Move, Inc. common stock at half the
originally stated exercise or strike price.
Our Services
Smart Move is a moving services and asset management company. We use our proprietary
SmartVault
tm
shipping containers to provide an alternative method of moving
household goods which eliminates the underlying cause of common problems experienced during moves.
Smart Moves service model: (i) does not require customers to rent or drive trucks to the
destination; (ii) provides ease of customer use of our standardized moving containers and our
content loading processes; and (iii) provides scheduling convenience and time saving that avoids
the crisis management scenarios typically associated with consumers moving experiences. Key
elements of our strategy include:
|
|
|
lower competitive pricing;
|
|
|
|
|
superior security;
|
|
|
|
|
scheduling flexibility and expedited service;
|
|
|
|
|
more customer options; and
|
|
|
|
|
full replacement value insurance coverage for customers shipped goods of $10,000 per
vault.
|
Our business model and processes allow us to operate on a cost-efficient basis with a small
labor force and without a need for the substantial investment of capital in transportation
facilities that is typically required of national moving van service providers and their local
agents. We do not own or operate any trucks or trucking equipment, other than one vehicle in
Denver, Colorado, used in our local storage opportunity. Instead, we contract with third party
trucking companies for the transportation services we require and focus our efforts on providing a
specialized moving container and strategic asset tracking and management services associated with
our use of these assets. UPS Freight acts as our primary local cartage provider and takes
responsibility for loading, unloading and transporting our SmartVaults
tm
in
connection with our customer moves. Instead of contracting with large national van lines for our
transport needs, we have elected to take advantage of the recurring excess load capacity of UPS
Freight and other trucking logistics industry companies to ship our
SmartVaults
tm
for long distance moves. These trucking logistics companies
regularly ship a wide range of commercial products on a basis that generally involves
time-sensitive delivery requirements. Consequently, they can ship our
SmartVaults
tm
far more efficiently than moving vans and are willing to provide
this service to us on a cost-effective basis because they are able to utilize their available
excess load capacity more effectively by aligning our requirements to transport uniform size
containers with their need to utilize available excess freight load capacity.
The containerized service business model we developed was driven by our desire to scale
rapidly without having to incur costly investment in trucking and transportation infrastructure
facilities. We determined that the Companys growth potential would depend upon Smart Moves
ability to outsource the necessary trucking and warehouse infrastructure for long distance moves
from major third party providers. In implementing our business plan and model, we discovered that
our need to strategically deploy the infrastructure resources of major third party trucking and
moving logistics companies on a regular basis matched a recurring need of those same companies to
increase the utilization levels of their equipment and facilities. Through careful planning we have
been able to identify cost reducing synergies between our ongoing requirements for transportation
and temporary warehousing services for our SmartVault
TM
containers with the recurring
need of trucking equipment and facilities owners and operators to utilize excess carrying and
storage capacity. We have also identified specific strategies and asset management and tracking
technologies to meet the needs of individual customers and alliance partners, as well as general
opportunities to expand future business though direct participation in
1
household goods
transportation brokerage activities. We believe our business model will allows us to plan
effectively to meet peak seasonal and other forecast demands for our services and the flexibility
to define value propositions that meet varying requirements of new service opportunities and
markets.
New Services and Products
Corporate
Relocations.
In December 2007, we announced a letter of intent to acquire rights to
conduct corporate relocation management programs conducted under the Star
Alliance
SM
trade name which we expect to generate opportunities through
relationships with the real estate brokerage community, third party relocation companies and HR
departments of major corporations. These activities commenced in February 2008 and will be
supported by a national call center offering personalized move counseling and customized relocation
services
Technology Solutions.
In January of 2007, we formed a new, wholly owned subsidiary, Rapid ID,
Inc., to develop an asset tracking solution that combines Smart Moves GPS mapping capability with
existing bundled cell phone technology components. The objective of this initiative, which is
still in an early development stage, is to design, market and deliver an integrated hardware and
software package that provides a high level of value-added technology applications for asset
tracking at an affordable cost.
Recent Financing Transactions and other Developments Relating to the Offering and this Prospectus
Sale of Secured Convertible Debentures
On January 15, 2008, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with
Professional Offshore Opportunity Fund, Ltd and other accredited investors. The Company executed
and agreed to deliver to the Purchaser (a) the Companys 11% Secured Convertible Debentures
(Debenture:) in the aggregate principal amount of $3,655,000 having a fixed conversion price
(subject to further adjustment for certain dilutive issuances) of $0.75 per share (the Debenture)
and (b) a five-year warrant (Warrant) to purchase an aggregate 2,436,667 shares of the Companys
common stock, par value $0.0001 issuable upon exercise of the Warrant at an exercise price of
$1.00. The Debenture was issued to the Purchaser at an original issue discount of 15%. The
Debenture issued to the Purchaser matures 24 months after the date of its issuance and accrues
interest at 11% per annum from the date of issuance.
Subject to certain deferral rights of the holder, the Debenture is payable in monthly
installments of principal and interest. The holders of the debentures may convert unpaid principal
on the debentures into common shares at a fixed conversion price of $0.75 per share or an adjusted
price in the event of any dilutive issuance by the Company. Based on the fixed conversion price of
$0.75 per share, and an aggregate Debenture face value of $3,655,000, the Debenture is convertible
into 4,873,334 shares of common stock, and the five-year Warrant may be exercised to acquire
2,436,667 shares of common stock. The Company may elect to pay principal and interest in cash at
115% of the amount due or in shares that have been registered (or are eligible to be sold without
registration pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act) in lieu of cash at a
conversion rate equal to 80% of the average daily closing price for our common shares for the five
(5) consecutive trading days preceding the principal and interest payment
date. Provided that a registration statement covering the conversion shares is then in effect
or the shares may be sold without registration under Rule 144, if the market price of the shares of
our common stock for 10 consecutive trading days is at least 175% of the conversion price then in
effect and the average daily volume during such period is between 25,000 and 100,000 shares per
day, the Company may send notice to the Investors requiring them to convert between 25% and 100% of
their debentures that remain outstanding at that time which are then registered or eligible for
sale under Rule 144 or Rule 144(b)(i).
The
Company agreed to file this registration statement to register the
2,436,667 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrant and 1,625,744 shares we may issue to the purchasers of
Debentures as payment of principal and interest pursuant to
provisions of the Debentures allowing periodic discretionary share
issuances by the Company to be used to pay principal or interest in
lieu of cash payments. We if the registration statement had not been
filed by the specified date or if the registration statement having
been filed is not declared effective by the SEC within 60 days
thereafter or if certain other specified events occur, the Company is
required to pay as partial liquidated damages to the holders of the
securities, in registered shares of common stock or in cash, at the
Companys option, a sum equal to two percent of the holders
initial investment in the Debenture per month, not to exceed ten
percent of the holders initial investment. Prior to the effective date of the resale registration
statement to be filed on behalf of the Purchaser, all monthly payments are to be paid in cash at
120% of the principal amount due.
2
The Warrant contains conditional cashless exercise provisions in the event the underlying
shares are not timely registered with the SEC. The Companys right to require conversion of shares
the Company elects to use as payment of principal and interest, and the Purchasers conversion
rights are subject to a 4.99% issuance limitation or conversion cap except under limited
conditions and circumstances.
The conversion price applicable to the Debenture and Warrant sold under the Securities
Purchase Agreement dated January 15, 2008 does not float or vary with the price of our publicly
traded stock. The agreement allows the Purchaser to convert the outstanding principal of the
Debenture into shares of the Companys common stock only at a Fixed Conversion Price of $0.75 per
share, unless the Company, in its discretion, determines to issue shares or convertible securities
at a lower issue price, conversion price or exercise price than $0.75 per share in a New
Transaction, after January 15, 2008. New Transaction means any financing transaction consummated
by the Company with parties other than the Holder of the Debenture involving issuance of common stock or other
securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, but excludes issuances pursuant to our
Employee Stock Ownership Plans and transactions relating to acquisitions or other strategic
operational agreements with the Company.
Other than standard adjustment provisions relating to capital events or additional offerings
undertaken by the Company at lower prices, the conversion price is not repriceable, including in
the event of a decline in market price. The conversion price and exercise price are not floating
or variable but subject only to normal capital adjustment factors and determinations within the
Companys exclusive control. The investors contractually agreed to a cap on their actual share
ownership percentage acquired so as not to exceed 4.99%.
The Company also negotiated a conversion feature allowing the Company to require the Purchaser
to convert the remaining principal amount outstanding on its Debenture in the event shares have
been registered or are eligible for sale under Rule 144 if the fair market value of the common
stock for at least the immediately preceding ten consecutive trading days is not less than 175% of
the conversion price. This feature would result in full conversion if the average volume during
such ten (10) day period is at least 100,000 shares per day, 50% conversion if volume is at least
75,000 shares per day, and 25% conversion if the average volume during such ten (10) day period is
at least 50,000 shares per day.
|
|
|
The fixed exercise price at which the Debentures are convertible is $0.75 per share,
which is the price that was $0.07 cents above the closing bid price ($0.68) on the date of
the transaction.
|
|
|
|
|
The Warrant issued to the Purchaser is exercisable at $1.00 per share ($0.32 higher
than market price on the date of the transaction). Given the fact that the Warrant is
currently under water by a fairly significant amount the Purchaser bears substantial
market risk from the outset.
|
|
|
|
|
The Purchaser agreed with the Company that neither the Purchaser nor any of its
affiliates would engage, directly or indirectly, in any hedging or short sale transactions
in the securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any short sales)
involving the Companys securities during the period from the date of the transaction
until one (1) year after the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the
Company covering the common stock underlying the Securities.
|
|
|
|
|
The Company may, in its sole discretion, pay the principal and accrued interest on the
Debenture in the form of shares of common stock, but it is not required and may not be
compelled to do so. Additionally, the Companys right to make payment in shares and the
Purchasers conversion rights are subject to a 4.99% issuance limitation or conversion
cap applicable except under specifically defined and limited conditions (e.g. within 45
days of maturity).

Acquisition of Certain Assets of Star Alliance in Exchange for Restricted Stock and Warrants
On
December 28, 2007, we entered into a letter of intent with Star Relocation Alliance, Inc.
(Star Alliance), pursuant to which Star Alliance and we outlined terms for the proposed
acquisition by Smart Move, Inc. of certain business assets of Star Alliance used in relocation and
other move management programs offered to the real estate brokerage community, third party
relocation companies and HR departments of major corporations. The transaction closed on January
31, 2008 at which time we agreed to issue restricted shares of our Common Stock, par value $0.0001
per share to Star Relocation Network Alliance, Inc. consisting of 80,000 fully paid and
non-assessable shares at the closing of the purchase; up to 100,000 shares of Common Stock issuable
under a 3 year common stock purchase warrant at an exercise price of $1.20; and potentially, an
additional 20,000 to 45,000 shares of fully paid and non-assessable shares Common Stock as an
earnable purchase price component for such assets provided top line revenues achieved in fiscal
2008 as a result of deploying the acquired assets are above specified thresholds.
The foregoing does not purport to be a complete summary of the terms of the transaction or
other financing transactions as described in the Periodic Reports on Form 10-QSB or the Current
Reports on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission we incorporate by Reference.
3
Plan to Request Shareholder Approval for Share Issuances Aggregating Above 20% of Outstanding
Securities
Our
certificate of incorporation, as amended, authorizes the issuance of
100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0001 par value, which we
believe is a sufficient number of currently authorized shares.
The Listing Standards of the American Stock Exchange, however, require shareholder approval
for any sale, issuance, or potential issuance of stock at a price that is below the greater of the
book or market value, where the amount of stock being issued equals or exceeds 20% of the
outstanding common stock. The Company has taken care to insure that any convertible securities sold
in its previous private placement transactions reported in its Periodic Reports and Current Reports
filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, were issued at a conversion price or
exercise price not less than the greater of book or market value of underlying securities. The
Company has also not issued any securities having variable or floating conversion or exercise
prices linked to the market price of the Companys publicly traded shares of common stock.
The terms of the aggregate $3,655,000 11% Secured Convertible Debentures described above which
we issued in January 2008, provide for a fixed conversion price of $0.75 per share ($0.07 cents
above the closing bid price ($0.68) on the date of the transaction). The conversion price
applicable to the Convertible Debentures is subject only to standard adjustment provisions relating
to capital restructuring events or a reduction in the conversion price upon the Companys own
election to undertake additional offerings at lower prices. The conversion price is not subject to
re-pricing simply because of a decline in market price.
Under the terms of the Convertible Debentures, the Company may, in its sole discretion, choose
to pay the principal and accrued interest amounts due during a 24 month amortization period
applicable to the $3,655,000 total principal amount of the Convertible Debentures in the form of
common shares. The payment terms allow the company, in lieu of paying principal and interest in
cash, to issue a number of shares based on 85% of the current market price of common stock when a
payment is due in order to satisfy its monthly principal and interest obligations under the
debentures. The issuance of these shares to the purchaser in lieu of cash payment of principal
and interest would not cause any adjustment to the fixed conversion price to occur that would allow
the Purchaser subsequently to convert at a lower conversion price. Our repeated monthly elections
to use shares as the currency used to pay principal and interest, however, could have a similar
dilutive effect. In the event of a month-to-month decline in the market price of our stock,
progressively more shares being issued to the Purchaser to satisfy the same cash obligation.
Section 713 of the AMEX Company Guide requires shareholder approval for the sale, issuance, or
potential issuance of common stock (or securities convertible into, or exercisable for, common
stock) representing 20% or more of an issuers common stock or voting power outstanding before such
issuance at a price below the greater of the common stocks book
or market value. In our Proxy Statement for the 2008 Annual Meeting
of Stockholders filed on April 29, 2008, we have solicited shareholder approval of the issuance of shares of common
stock upon conversion of, or in lieu of cash payments on the Debenture and upon exercise of the
Warrant to the extent such issuance would equal or exceed 20% of the Companys outstanding common
stock.
As of
May 1, 2008 the trading price of our common stock closed at
$0.2499 on the American
Stock Exchange. No assurance can be given that the Company will issue shares in lieu of
cash payments at prices above the market price of $0.68 on the date of issuance of the Debentures.
Furthermore, no assurance can be given that the Company would not determine that its financing
needs required an offering of shares at a price below the market price at the date of issuance and
thus by its own actions trigger a downward adjustment of the conversion price under the Convertible
Debentures.
RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision.
If any of the following circumstances occur, our business, financial condition or results of
operations could be materially adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our common
stock could decline and you may lose part or all of your investment. Unless otherwise indicated,
all references in this prospectus to Smart Move, we, us and our refer to Smart Move, Inc.
Our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern.
Our financial statements as of December 31, 2007 have been prepared on the assumption that we
are a going concern and that we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in
the normal course of business; however, certain events and conditions cast substantial doubt on
this assumption. We have incurred net losses since our inception and we anticipate that we will
continue to operate in a deficit position for the foreseeable future. We have estimated that we
will need additional capital of $2,500,000 during 2008 in order to fund our operations, make our
scheduled debt payments and implement our business plan during
4
the next twelve months. This amount
of capital could be less or more depending upon the volume of sales and the timing of the sales
volume during the year. Due to our historical inability to generate revenue to cover all operating
costs, and the difficulty of predicting future revenue, we will require additional financing in
order to conduct our normal operating activities and cover our monthly
expenses. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the additional financing we
require, or be able to obtain such additional financing on terms acceptable to our Company. These
circumstances raise substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern.
Because of our loss from operations, and our need for additional financing in order to fund
2008 obligations our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have a history of operating losses and may again incur losses in the future as we expand.
We generated our first revenues in June 2005. We have sustained losses since our inception. We
had an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2007. We also had negative cash flows from operating
activities since inception. The Company has historically funded its operations through sale of
equity and debt securities. You must consider our prospects in light of the risks, expenses and
challenges of attempting to introduce a new service in a mature and established market.
We cannot predict effectiveness of our third party marketing alliances.
As an early stage company, Smart Move has little historical information to assist management
in identifying the factors and trends that may influence the companys future results and as Smart
Move expands its sales channels it depends significantly on large national alliance partners in
connection with the timing, as well as the effectiveness of a number of the companys important
strategic joint marketing initiatives. Moreover, the company is offering a service that is a new
value proposition in a mature industry, and it is difficult to predict the extent and timeframe of
acceptance of our innovations.
Our business plan is unproven, and our financial results will suffer if consumers do not adopt our
moving solution.
Due to our limited operating history, it is too early to determine if our target consumers
which include a wide spectrum of customers seeking various moving services, will adopt our moving
solution in the numbers and as readily as we expect. If consumers do not react favorably to our
solution, or if it takes us longer to develop customers than we have planned, our revenues and our
financial operating results will suffer.
We depend on the third-party manufacturer for our SmartVaults moving containers.
Our business model is built around the use of our SmartVault, which has been designed and is
manufactured for us by a third party. Smart Move owns a proprietary mold that Orbis Corporation
(formerly LINPAC Material Handling Inc. which was acquired by Orbis) can only use exclusively to
manufacture the SmartVaults for the Company. At certain times in the past, we have experienced
delivery delays and incurred unexpected price increases on the finished SmartVaults. In some
instances, these production delays have required us to delay our planned expansion to new markets,
and with the slower expansion of our business, our early operating results have suffered. A
material change in our relationship with the manufacturer of SmartVaults or our inability to
future meet the purchase commitments could also harm our business and the trading value of our
securities and our operating results. Additionally, any determination to replace our existing
manufacturer could result in delays and additional expenses.
Our containers are subject to price increases by the manufacturer, and any significant increase in
price would negatively impact our operating margins.
If we order additional containers in the future, our container manufacturer may increase the
per unit price of our container due to an increase in the costs to the manufacturer of plastic or
other materials used in the manufacturing of the containers. Depending on the competitive
environment at the time, we may be unable to increase the price of our service to offset the
operating effect of the increase in the cost of our containers. Consequently, a significant
increase in the price of our containers could negatively impact
our operating results.
Risks related to our current financial condition
|
|
|
Our capital requirements have been and will continue to be
significant, and we have an immediate and long-term need of capital to
continue to operate.
|
|
|
|
|
Currently, we are incurring losses from operations, have limited
capital resources, and do not have access to a line of credit or other
debt facility.
|
5
|
|
|
Our Management is pursuing various funding alternatives, including
additional private placement of debt, commercial loans and finance
leases, but no definitive arrangements are in place to ensure we will
have capital to sustain operations.
|
|
|
|
|
If we raise additional capital through the issuance of debt
securities, the interests of our shareholders will continue to be
subordinated to the interests of our debt holders and any cash
interest payments would reduce the amount of cash available to operate
and grow our business. Additionally, we will be subject to all of the
risks associated with incurring indebtedness, including the risks that
interest rates may fluctuate and that our cash flow may be
insufficient to pay principal and interest on any such indebtedness.
|
|
|
|
|
If we raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities,
including additional convertible notes and warrants in the future, the
ownership of our shareholders would be diluted.
|
|
|
|
|
Our assets serve as collateral for various loan and note obligations.
If we are unable to maintain compliance with loan covenants or procure
waivers when required or in the event we fail to pay loans and notes
according to their terms, there can be no assurance that our lenders
will not declare an event of default and demand immediate payment or
seek to attach our assets.
|
|
|
|
|
Should any of our large trade creditors demand immediate payment for
services or materials we require to conduct business, we would have to
raise the needed funds to satisfy the obligations, possibly on
unsatisfactory terms or, failing that, we would have to consider
entering into arrangements with creditors or other debt reorganization
measures that could have a negative impact to our shareholders.
|
A disruption in the service of our third-party carriers could result in significant loss of revenue
and increased capital expense.
We depend on several third-party cartage companies to provide the long-haul transport services
we require. We currently rely on UPS Freight to handle the majority of our local pick-ups and
deliveries. With the exception of UPS Freight, which handles a majority of our long distance hauls
as well as local pickup and delivery, we do not have written agreements with these third party
cartage companies, and our arrangements with these service providers may be terminated at anytime.
Although we have a contract with UPS Freight, we can not ensure that UPS Freight will be able
consistently to make pickups and deliveries for our customers in the time and manner we may request
or require in the future. If our arrangement with UPS Freight is terminated, we will attempt to
contract with alternative cartage companies to provide the services we currently outsource from UPS
Freight. Any material changes in our primary carrier relationships and/or our local pick-up and
delivery arrangements would disrupt our business operations. Our agreement with UPS Freight may be
terminated by either party to the agreement upon 90 days written notice to the other party. If
there is a material interruption in our ability to utilize third-party carriers and cartage
providers for the services we require, we may be required to purchase or lease our own trucks and
warehouse facilities in order to meet our requirements. In the event we are required to pursue new
sources for these services or to purchase and maintain equipment and facilities we currently
outsource, our results of operations could suffer due to delay in procuring acceptable alternative
shipping arrangements and our access to available capital resources may be severely limited.
Since we rely on third party carriers for our deliveries, higher prices for fuel have resulted in
significant fuel surcharges in the past. Our operating margins and results of operation will
fluctuate during periods of fuel price volatility. If those surcharges continue or increase, it
will require us to raise prices at the
risk of losing sales or reduce our operating margins.
We generally contract to provide our services on a fixed price basis. Our freight charges are
fixed and not subject to fluctuation. However, we are required to pay fuel surcharges based upon
the price of fuel to the cartage companies that transport our containers. The market price for fuel
can be very volatile and can be affected by a number of economic and political factors. In
addition, changes in federal or state regulations could impact the price and availability of fuel
as well as increase the amount we pay in fuel taxes. Since we did not anticipate the extent of this
surcharge increase, the additional cost (need current data) resulted in an erosion of our gross
margins and adversely affected our operating results. We consider the amount of the fuel surcharges
in effect at the time that we provide a bid for services to a potential customer. However, after a
customer contracts with us we are subject to the risk that the fuel surcharge applicable to such
move will increase. If those surcharges continue to increase in the future, we will be required to
either raise our prices at the risk of losing sales or continue to suffer lower margins on our
moves. In either case, our ability to achieve our expansion goals and break-even operations will be
materially impaired, and our operating margins and results will fluctuate during periods of fuel
price volatility.
We have incurred substantial debt to finance our operations; our lenders could foreclose on our
assets and force us out of business in the event of our default on this debt.
As of December 31, 2007, we had approximately $11.6 million outstanding in long-term debt and
equipment financing. If we are unable to make timely payment of principal and interest on our debt,
or if we default on any of the covenants or other requirements
6
of our loan instruments, our lenders
will be able to foreclose on the assets by which their loans are secured. The foreclosure on our
containers or other material assets could result in a cessation of business and/or bankruptcy. The
Company did not make certain scheduled interest payment for the quarter ended December 31, 2007,
due in arrears under its August 2007 and 2005 Notes (the Notes), and as a result, the Company
will be obligated to pay a default interest rate of 18% per annum on all outstanding principal
amounts relating to these Notes, until such time as the amount of the scheduled interest payments
under the terms of the Notes is paid current.
We will need to raise substantial additional capital to fund our operations, and we do not have any
existing commitments for additional capital.
Currently, we are incurring losses from operations, have limited capital resources, and do not
have access to a line of credit or other debt facility. We have had losses and negative cash flow
from operations since inception in August 2004, which may impact our access to additional capital
we will require to execute our business plan. If we raise additional capital through the issuance
of debt securities, the interests of our shareholders will be subordinated to the interests of our
debt holders and any interest payments will reduce the amount of cash available to operate and grow
our business. If we raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, the ownership
of our shareholders would be diluted. Additionally, we do not know whether any financing, if
obtained, will be adequate to meet our capital needs and to support our growth.
We may need additional financing, including additional indebtedness, to fund our business plan and
we do not have commitments for additional financing.
Our level of indebtedness will have several significant effects on our future operations,
including the following:
|
|
|
we may be required to use a portion of our cash flow from operations
for the payment of any principal or interest due on our outstanding
indebtedness;
|
|
|
|
|
our outstanding indebtedness and leverage will increase the impact of
negative changes in general economic and industry conditions as well
as competitive pressures; and
|
|
|
|
|
the level of our outstanding debt may affect our ability to obtain
additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures or
general corporate purposes.
|
If any of the foregoing events occur, we may be prevented from expanding into additional
markets.
General economic conditions, industry cycles, financial, business and other factors affecting our
operations, many of which are beyond our control, may affect our future performance.
General economic conditions, industry cycles, financial and other factors may affect our
operations and our ability to make principal and interest payments on our indebtedness and raising
additional capital. If we cannot generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future to
service our debt, we may, among other things, be required to take one or more of the following
actions:
|
|
|
seek additional financing in the debt or equity markets;
|
|
|
|
|
refinance or restructure all or a portion of our indebtedness;
|
|
|
|
|
sell selected assets; and
|
|
|
|
|
reduce or delay planned capital expenditures.
|
The measures listed above might not be adequate to enable us to continue operations or to
service our indebtedness. In addition, we might not be able to procure financing, refinancing or to
make a sale of assets on economically favorable terms, which may prevent our future expansion and
growth in new markets and, thus, negatively affect our business and financial condition and/or
cause us to cease operation.
We expect our business will be highly seasonal, which can cause dramatic fluctuations in our cash
flow and could require us to incur additional debt or raise additional capital.
We expect that a significant portion of our revenue (as much as 50%, based on our experience
to date and certain industry data) will be generated in the four months of June through September.
We expect that this seasonality will result in dramatic fluctuations in our operating results from
quarter to quarter. Most of our operating expenses, including general and administrative costs and
debt service, are fixed and do not vary with the volume of our business. As a result, in the slower
months it may be difficult to manage cash flow to meet our operating needs. If we fail to manage
cash flow in anticipation of these quarterly fluctuations, or if
7
the fluctuations vary
significantly from our expectations, we may be required to incur additional debt, which will impair
our profitability, or raise additional equity capital, which will be dilutive to our shareholders.
We could be held liable for damages under environmental laws or be required to clean up
contamination caused by hazardous materials transported or stored in our containers.
We require our customers to agree in writing not to store or ship hazardous materials in our
containers. However, we do not inspect the containers to make sure they do not contain hazardous
materials. If hazardous materials are stored in our containers and leak or otherwise cause a
dangerous situation, we could be held liable for damages, be required to clean up the leak and
suffer adverse publicity. We do not intend to carry insurance covering these occurrences. To date,
no environmental-related claims have been asserted against us. However, a significant hazardous
materials event could negatively impact our results of operations, disrupt our business, cause
adverse publicity and subject us to significant liability and increase the risk of litigation, all
which could harm our business and the trading price of our securities.
As a result of our limited operating history, we may not be able to estimate correctly our future
operating expenses, which could lead to cash shortfalls.
We have a limited operating history, and, as a result, our historical financial data may be of
limited value in estimating future operating revenues and expenses. Our budgeted expense levels are
based in part
on our expectations concerning future revenues. However, the amount of these future revenues
depends on the choices and demand of individuals, which are difficult to forecast accurately.
We have limited operating history, we have not been through a recession cycle, and may not be able
to estimate our future revenue or the effect of a decline in the economy will have on our business
operations.
We have limited operating history, and as such we have not been through an economic business
decline, and as such may not be able to adequately predict the effects this will have on our sales
and costs. Our budgeted revenues are based on our expectations and new relationships with van
lines, and internet marketing programs. The effect of an economic downturn on these expectations is
uncertain to us.
We currently have limited human resources, and the effective management of our anticipated growth
will depend on our ability to attract and retain skilled personnel.
We expect that expansion of our business may place a strain on our limited managerial,
operational and financial resources. We will be required to expand significantly, train and manage
our work force in order to manage the growth of our operations. Our future success will depend in
large part on our ability to attract, train and retain additional skilled management, logistics and
sales personnel. We may not be successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel on a
timely basis, on competitive terms or at all. If we are unable to attract and retain skilled
personnel, our operating results could be harmed, we may fail to meet our reporting and contractual
obligations and existing and potential shareholders may lose confidence in our business, all of
which would harm our business and the trading price of our securities.
We are dependent on our management team and the loss of any of these individuals would harm our
business.
Our success is dependent, in large part, upon the continued services of Chris Sapyta, our
Chief Executive Officer, and Edward Johnson, our Chief Financial Officer, and the rest of the
senior management team. There is no guarantee that any of the members of our management team will
remain employed by us. While we have employment agreements with Messrs. Sapyta and Johnson, their
continued services cannot be assured. The loss of our senior executives, particularly, Messrs.
Sapyta and Johnson, would harm our business.
We encounter substantial competition from other moving companies, many of whom have greater
resources than Smart Move.
The U.S. household moving and service industry is serviced by approximately 10,000 providers.
In this highly fragmented industry, the 20 largest providers control approximately 35% of the
revenue. Many of our competitors are larger than we are and have longer operating histories. As a
result, we expect that many of our competitors will have greater financial and human resources and
more established sales and marketing capabilities than we have. Existing or future competitors with
greater resources could readily duplicate certain of our services and/or business model.
8
We do not have any patent protected technologies that would preclude or inhibit competitors from
entering our market.
We consider the design of our containers to be proprietary and have negotiated exclusive
ownership rights to the design of the containers from the manufacturer. The container design,
however, is not currently patented. Since the container design is not patented, we rely on a
combination of specific contracts and confidentiality agreements to protect our design. Despite our
efforts to protect our design, it would be relatively easy for our competitors to copy certain
aspects of our design or independently develop similar containers. Accordingly, our container
design may not provide an effective barrier to entry against our competitors.
Our ability to capture a meaningful share of our target market and achieve a profitable level of
operations is dependent upon our ability to establish and maintain our brand name.
We believe that continuing to build awareness of our brand name is critical to achieving
widespread acceptance of our business. Brand recognition is a key differentiating factor among
providers of moving services. In order to maintain and build brand awareness, we must succeed in
our marketing efforts. If we fail to successfully promote and maintain our brand, incur significant
expenses in promoting our brand and fail to generate a corresponding increase in revenue as a
result of our branding efforts, or encounter legal obstacles which prevent our continued use of our
brand name, our business and the value of your shares could be materially adversely affected. In
addition, our brand may be used by third parties unaffiliated with our Company, which, in turn, may
also harm our business and our ability to expand and achieve a profitable level of operations.
We may be unable to protect our trademark or other proprietary intellectual property rights.
We have filed trademark applications, and received federal registrations on certain service
marks or trademarks with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to protect the mark
SmartVault for our containers and SmartMove, Design , GoSmartMove, Changing the Way the World
Moves, and SmartMove Changing the Way the World Moves for our containers and services.. Our future
success may depend upon the protection of our brand names, SmartMove and GoSmartMove (collectively
SmartMove brand). If we are unable to protect our rights in the SmartMove brand, a key element of
our strategy of promoting SmartMove as a brand could be disrupted and our business could be
adversely affected. We may not be able to detect all unauthorized uses of our trademark or take all
appropriate steps to enforce our intellectual property rights. In addition, the validity,
enforceability and scope of protection of our trademark and related intellectual property is
uncertain and still evolving. The laws of other countries in which we may market our goods and
services in the future are uncertain and may afford little or no effective protection of our
intellectual property. The unauthorized reproduction or other misappropriation of our proprietary
technology could enable third parties to benefit from our technology and our SmartMove brand name
without paying us for them which could result in a substantial decrease of our competitive
advantage in those markets and our ability to conduct profitable activities in such markets.
We are aware of several companies that conduct business which incorporate the terms Smart
and Move in their respective names and, in some cases, those companies have registered such names
as a trademark in the state where they conduct business. In states where the corporate name or
trademark for Smart Move may be held by third parties, we may have to conduct business under the
trade name GoSmartMove. Such states include California, Texas, Illinois and New Jersey. Because
of the potential conflicting uses by others of the words Smart Move, we may not be able to fully
protect our brand from use by others. In addition, we are at risk that third parties will claim
that our use of the name SmartMove may infringe on their intellectual property rights. If that were
to occur, we could be required to defend against infringement claims, which will be extremely
costly and time consuming, both in terms of money and human resources. Further, if we were to be
found to have infringed upon or violated the rights of a third party, we could also be liable for
monetary damages and subject to an injunction requiring us to cease doing business under the
SmartMove name. To date, no such infringement claims have been asserted against us. However, if
that were to occur, and we were unsuccessful in defending against them, we would have to incur the
expense and likely business disruption associated with a re-branding of our services.
Notwithstanding our efforts to develop and protect our intellectual property rights, including
our trademarks and domain names, all or some of our intellectual property may be unenforceable or
limited. As a result, we may not be able to maintain our current trademarks or domain name if they
are subject to challenge. We believe that any successful challenge to our use of a trademark or our
domain name could substantially diminish our ability to conduct business in a particular market or
jurisdiction and, thus, decrease our revenues and result in possible losses to our business.
On March 3, 2006, SmartBox Moving & Storage LLC (SmartBox) filed a Notice of Opposition
before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board of the US Patent and Trademark Office (Board)
requesting that the Board deny registration of our SmartVault application Serial No. 78/560,422
based on SmartBoxs claimed rights in SMARTBOX and SMARTBOX A B & DESIGN (U.S. Reg. No.
2,864,385). We filed our Answer denying the allegations of any likelihood of confusion and
fraud. We also counterclaimed to cancel SmartBoxs SMARTBOX A B & Design registration because the
SMARTBOX, among other reasons, the term is merely descriptive of the goods. SmartBox filed its
answer and affirmative defenses to our counterclaim on June 30, 2006. On November 6, 2006, the
parties to these proceedings settled this matter. Under the terms of this settlement, the parties
agree, among other things, not to use each others respective corporate names as well as certain
similar marks. The settlement does not involve any monetary penalty payable by either party to the
other and the parties could, if mutually agreeable, enter into any future business relationship.

We may face liability from intellectual property litigation that could be costly to prosecute or
defend and distract managements attention with no assurance of success.
We cannot be certain that our services, product, content and brand names do not or will not
infringe valid patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights held by third parties.
Several companies in the industry may have names similar to ours, including the phrase smart move
or a variation thereof. Further, in order to protect or enforce our intellectual property rights,
we may initiate litigation against third parties. In addition, we may become subject to inference,
cancellation, or opposition proceedings conducted in trademark offices or the courts to determine
the priority of rights in our marks. The defense of intellectual property rights, interference,
cancellation, or opposition proceedings, and other legal and administrative proceedings, would be
costly and divert our technical and management personnel from their normal responsibilities.
Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with
intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could
be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation which disclosure could substantially
diminish our competitive advantages, thus, resulting in decrease revenues and possible losses.
We operate in a regulated industry. Increased costs of compliance with, liability for violation of,
or changes in, existing or future regulations could result in increased regulatory compliance costs
or decreased revenues and, thus, adversely affecting our business and operations.
There are regulations specifically relating to the moving industry, including testing and
specifications of equipment and product handling requirements. In addition, the moving industry is
increasingly subject to regulatory and legislative changes, such as stringent environmental,
occupational safety and health regulations or limits on vehicle weight and size, security and
ergonomics. When and to the extent that we conduct operations outside the United States, we are
subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which generally prohibits U.S. companies and their
intermediaries from bribing foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining favorable
treatment. Such matters could disrupt or impede the timing of our deliveries and we may fail to
meet the needs of our customers. The cost of complying with these regulatory measures, or any
future measures, could have a materially adverse effect on our business or results of operations.
Violations of regulations can subject the Company to fines and penalties and significant and
repeated violations could result in governmental action to curtail or suspend our operations.
Our proposed future international operations would subject us to risks associated with trade
restrictions, political, economic and social instability and currency exchange rate fluctuations.
As we expand to international markets, we will be subject to the risks of doing business
abroad, which may include:
|
|
|
unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;
|
|
|
|
|
export and import restrictions, tariffs and other trade barriers;
|
|
|
|
|
difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;
|
|
|
|
|
longer payment cycles and problems in collecting accounts receivable;
|
|
|
|
|
potential adverse tax consequences;
|
|
|
|
|
currency exchange rate fluctuations;
|
|
|
|
|
increased risks of piracy and limits on our ability to enforce our intellectual property rights;
|
|
|
|
|
limits on repatriation of funds; and
|
|
|
|
|
political risks that may limit or disrupt international sales.
|
A foreign country in which we may propose to operate in the future may impose trade or foreign
exchange restrictions or increased tariffs, which could adversely affect our operations. Political,
economic and social instability in foreign countries, including terrorism, may impact our ability
to conduct business in those countries, may cause our financial condition and operations to suffer
as a result of a decrease in revenues or exchange rate volatility. As we continue to focus on
expanding our international operations, these and other risks associated with international
operations may increase.
Any limitations or interruptions in our proposed foreign operations could have a negative
impact on our business. We plan to transact substantially all of our foreign business in US
dollars, but we may not be successful in avoiding doing business in foreign currencies. We have no
plans to engage in hedging of any foreign currency transactions and therefore would be subject to
the risk of changes in currency exchange rates.

We have completed a placement of debt that included a beneficial conversion feature. That feature
will have the effect of reducing our reported operating results during the term of the debt.
In July 2006 we issued $5,000,000 in units of secured convertible debentures and warrants. The
terms of these convertible debentures included conversion features allowing the holders to convert
their debt into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of (a) $3.75 or
(b) 75% of the per share offering price in our IPO if the Unit offering price had been less than
$5.00, but in no event less than $2.50. Certain of those conversion features that allowed for the
reduction in conversion price upon the occurrence of stated events constitute a beneficial
conversion feature for accounting purposes. In August of 2007, September 2007 and November of 2007
we issued convertible notes that also had a beneficial conversion feature. The accounting
treatment related to the beneficial conversion feature will have an adverse impact on our results
of operations for the term of the notes which mature in July 2011, August 2010, September 2010 and
November 2008. This accounting will result in an increase in interest expense in all reporting
periods during the term of the debt.
Changes in accounting rules governing the recognition of stock-based compensation expense could
adversely affect our financial operations by reducing our income or increasing our losses.
Our financial results will be affected by changes in the accounting rules governing the
recognition of stock-based compensation expense. Prior to January 1, 2006, we measured compensation
expense for our employee stock options under the intrinsic value method of accounting prescribed by
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Because we
have granted all options at the estimated fair value on the date of grant, no compensation expense
has been recognized through December 31, 2005. On January 1, 2006 we adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Share-Based Payment,
which addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123(R) eliminates the
ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for and recognized in the
statement of operations based on their fair value.
We incur increased costs as a result of being a public company.
As a public company, we incur significant accounting, legal and other expenses that a private
company conducting the same operations would not incur. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX), which
became law in July 2002, and related rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and
the American Stock Exchange regulate corporate governance practices of public companies. We expect
these expenses will continue to increase in the future. In particular, we are required to include
managements report on internal controls as part of our annual report for the year ending December
31, 2008 pursuant to Section 404 of SOX. We are in the process of evaluating our internal control
systems in order to (i) allow management to report on, and our independent auditors to attest to,
our internal controls, as required by these laws, rules and regulations, (ii) provide reasonable
assurance that our public disclosure will be accurate and complete, and (iii) comply with the other
provisions of Section 404 of SOX. We cannot be certain as to the timing of the completion of our
evaluation, testing and remediation actions or the impact these may have on our operations. If we
are not able to implement the requirements relating to internal controls and all other provisions
of Section 404 in a timely fashion or achieve adequate compliance with these requirements or other
requirements of SOX, we might become subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory
authorities such as the SEC or the securities exchange on which we may be trading at that time,
which action may be injurious to our reputation and affect our financial condition and decrease the
value and liquidity of our securities, including our common stock. We expect that SOX and these
other laws, rules and regulations will increase legal and financial compliance costs and will make
our corporate governance activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly. We presently
estimate that these compliance costs will be at least $600,000 during each fiscal year of our
existence as a public company. This estimate is subject to future revisions and adjustments as
circumstances may warrant. We also expect that these new requirements will make it more difficult
and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance.
We are subject to impairment of our long-lived assets that could affect future net income.
We have made a significant investment in long-lived assets. During the ownership of an asset,
an asset impairment charge against the Companys earnings may result from the occurrence of
unexpected adverse changes that impact the Companys estimates of expected cash flows generated
from the use of our assets. The Companys ability to recover its purchase investment in assets is
subject to market risks, including any changes in market conditions that may make the use of our
assets less cost-effective relative to available alternatives. Our ability to deploy assets
successfully depends significantly on having the use of the asset accepted by our customers for the
moving services they require. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, we periodically
assess the value of long-lived assets in light of current circumstances to determine whether
impairment has occurred. If an impairment should occur, we would reduce the carrying amount to our
fair market value and record an amount of that reduction as a non-cash charge to income, which
could adversely affect our net income reported in that quarter in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. For the year ended December 31, 2007 we recorded impairments on our
fixed assets of $1,539,563 comprised of $75,094 of the full net book value of 333 analog GPS units
that are no longer in use and have no known salvage value, $589,469 of the retired and recycled
portion of our inventory of the older prototype SmartVault-Version I units that were damaged, and
$875,000 of impairment on the Version I vaults used for storage. During the fourth quarter of 2007,
the Company performed a strategic review of the Version I vaults
11
used in the local storage
opportunity. Due to the limited financial capital necessary to develop and capture revenue,
management assessed the recoverability of these Version I vaults and determined the impairment.
This impairment reflects the amount by which the carrying value of Version I vaults exceed their
estimated fair values determined by their estimated future discounted cash flows. We cannot
definitively determine the extent of impairments that may occur in the future, and if impairments
do occur, what the timing might be or the extent to which any impairment might have a material
adverse effect on our financial results.
If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately
report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential shareholders
could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which would harm our business and the trading
price of our stock.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and
effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide financial reports or prevent fraud, our business
reputation and operating results could be harmed. Inferior internal controls could also cause
investors to lose confidence in our
reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our
stock. In connection with their evaluation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as
of the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters during 2007 our management determined that
our controls did not operate effectively on a continuous basis throughout the reporting period.
Managements evaluation of the Companys disclosure controls and the procedures implemented during
2007 as discussed in our previous reports, management has determined that controls did not operate
effectively on a continuous basis throughout the fourth fiscal quarter.
Certain Risks Relating to Section 713 of the AMEX Rules
To
the extent that the Company seeks to obtain shareholder approval for any share
issuances under Section 713 of the AMEX rules, but does not
obtain the required shareholder approval that
may be required, the Company might not be able to issue the underlying shares to the extent they
would represent 20% or more of the outstanding common stock due to restrictions relating to Section
713. If the Company is unable to issue shares of common stock to pay the principal and interest
becoming due on the Debentures issued in January 2008, the holders would have the right,
under such circumstances, to require the Company to pay in cash the remaining balance and accrued
interest, with respect to which shares cannot be issued, as they become due. There is no assurance
that the Company would have sufficient cash at such time to make such a payment. The Company does
not currently have sufficient cash to pay these obligations as they become due. Without the
ability to pay the Debentures with cash or convert them into common stock, the Company
will default on its obligations under the Debentures and would no longer be able to maintain its
operations.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of shares by the selling stockholders covered
by this prospectus. We may, however, receive up to $2,556,667 aggregate gross proceeds from the
exercise of the warrants to purchase certain of the shares of common stock offered hereby by the
selling stockholders, and we will receive a cash equivalent benefit to the extent we are able to
and elect to pay principal and interest becoming due on convertible debentures by issuance of
shares of our common stock in lieu of cash that would otherwise be payable to discharge those
obligations as they accrue. Any proceeds we receive from the exercise of the warrants will be
used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
We are registering 1,625,744 shares we may issue to the purchasers of Secured Convertible
Debentures (Debentures) as payment of principal and interest pursuant to provisions of the
Debentures allowing periodic discretionary share issuances by the Company to be used to pay
principal or interest in lieu of cash payments. These shares are being registered for the limited
purpose of share issuances to pay principal and interest as permitted under the Companys
agreements with holders of the Debentures. The amount of shares being registered does not cover
the number of shares that would be required in order for the Company to pay all monthly
installments of principal and interest by means of share issuances or the number of shares required
if all debentures were converted to common stock. Additionally, we are registering 2,436,667
shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of common stock warrants exercisable at $1.00 per
share expiring on January 15, 2013, issued to the purchasers of the Debentures; and 100,000 shares
of common stock issuable upon exercise of $1.20 warrants expiring on January 31, 2011, issued on
January 31, 2008 connection with an acquisition of certain assets for use in conducting
transportation brokerage activities. For additional information regarding the issuance of the
Secured Convertible Debentures, see Prospectus Summary above. We are registering the shares of
common stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time
to time. Except as otherwise noted, the selling stockholders have not had any material relationship
with us within the past three years. Except as set forth below, to our knowledge, none of the
selling stockholders is registered with or is an affiliate of a person or entity registered with
the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock by the
selling stockholders. However, we may receive up to $2,556,667 in proceeds from the exercise of
warrants to purchase certain of the shares of common stock offered hereby by the selling security
holders.
The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial
ownership of the shares of common stock by each of the selling stockholders. The second column
lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling stockholder, based on
its his, her or its ownership of our common stock or other securities, as of March 28, 2008,
assuming conversion of all convertible securities and exercise of all warrants held by the selling
stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on conversions or exercise.
The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the
selling stockholders.
Because the number of shares we may issue to satisfy monthly principal and interest under the
Debenture during an approximate 24 Months will vary, the number of shares that will actually be
issued may be more
or less than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the
sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant
12
to this prospectus and further assumes that there is no adjustment to the conversion or
exercise prices of the various convertible debentures or warrants.
Under the terms of the Secured Convertible Debentures and related warrant, a selling
stockholder generally may not convert the Secured Convertible Debentures or exercise the related
warrant to the extent such conversion or exercise would cause such selling stockholder, together
with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed
4.99% of our then outstanding shares of common stock following such conversion or exercise. The
number of shares in the second column does not reflect this limitation. The selling stockholders
may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See Plan of Distribution.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Each selling stockholder of the common stock and any of their pledgees, assignees and
successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on
the American Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the
shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A
selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
|
|
|
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits
purchasers;
|
|
|
|
|
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but
may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the
transaction;
|
|
|
|
|
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its
account;
|
|
|
|
|
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
|
|
|
|
|
privately negotiated transactions;
|
|
|
|
|
broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of
such shares at a stipulated price per share;
|
|
|
|
|
a combination of any such methods of sale; or
|
|
|
|
|
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
|
The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to
participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling
stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the
purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this
prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission
in compliance with NASDR Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown
in compliance with NASDR IM-2440.
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the
shares may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection
with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any
profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions
or discounts under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Each selling stockholder has informed us
that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with
any person to distribute the common stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees,
commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).
We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration
of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims,
damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Because selling stockholders may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities
covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. There is no
underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares
by the selling stockholders.
We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the
shares may be resold by the selling stockholders without registration and without regard to any
volume limitations by reason of Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act of
15
1933, as amended, or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold
pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any other
rule of similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers
or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the
resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the
applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available
and is complied with.
Under
applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, any person
engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making
activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in
Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders
will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and
regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales
of shares of the common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies
of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to
deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including
by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended).
Legal Matters
The
validity of the issuance of the shares offered under this prospectus has been passed upon
for the Company by Messner & Reeves, LLC, Denver, Colorado. The Attorneys of Messner & Reeves,
LLC do not have a substantial interest in the Company as of the date of this prospectus.
EXPERTS
Independent Registered Public Accountants
The
financial statements as of December 31, 2007 and for the years ended December 31, 2007 and
2006 incorporated by reference in this Prospectus have been so incorporated in reliance on the
report of Anton Collins Mitchell LLP (ACM), an independent registered public accounting firm (the report
on the financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph regarding the Companys ability to
continue as a going concern), incorporated herein by reference, given on the authority of said firm
as experts in auditing and accounting.
Pursuant
to the authority granted by its charter, the audit committee of the Companys Board of Directors adopted
a resolution on April 30, 2008 to dismiss ACM as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm. The
committees decision was ratified by a further resolution of the Board of Directors which acknowledged that the
Company has great respect for ACMs work and professionalism,
but had concluded that GHP Horwath, P.C. (GHP)
could provide audit services of the same high quality, in a manner that is more cost effective and better aligned
with the Companys current requirements.
ACM
conducted the Companys audits as of and for the years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. ACMs
reports on those audits did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except for the addition in ACMs report on its
audit for the year ended December 31, 2007 of an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about the Companys
ability to continue as a going concern.
At
the Companys request, ACM furnished a letter to the Securities the Securities and Exchange Commission
confirming that ACM agrees with the Companys statement that during the audited years ended December 31, 2007
and December 31, 2006 and the subsequent interim period through the dismissal date, there were no disagreements
between the Company and ACM on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure,
or auditing scope or procedures, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of ACM, would have caused ACM to make
reference to the nature of the disagreement in its reports on the Companys financial statements. A report on
Form 8-K filed by the Company on May 1, 2008, which is also filed as an Exhibit herewith, provides additional
details and includes as an Exhibit, a copy of ACMs letter dated April 30, 2008 furnished to the Securities
and Exchange Commission providing the requested confirmation.
The
audit committee of our Board of Directors has engaged GHP Horwath, P.C. of Denver, Colorado as its
independent registered public accounting firm to provide the requisite audit services required by the
Company. This firm commenced its engagement effective at the close of business on April 30, 2008 as requested
and approved by the audit committee of our Board of Directors.
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended may be permitted to our directors, officers and persons controlling us, we have been
advised that it is the Securities and Exchange Commissions opinion that such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and is, therefore,
unenforceable.
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145
of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which we refer to as the ''DGCL,
provides, in general, that a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, as
we are, may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than a derivative action by or
16
in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise, against expenses
(including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such
person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe such persons conduct was unlawful. In the case of a derivative
action, a Delaware corporation may indemnify any such person against expenses (including attorneys
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement
of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no
indemnification will be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person will
have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court in which such action was brought determines
such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses.
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors,
officers, employees and agents to the extent and in the manner permitted by the provisions of the
DGCL, as amended from time to time, subject to any permissible expansion or limitation of such
indemnification, as may be set forth in any stockholders or directors resolution or by contract.
In addition, our director and officer indemnification agreements with each of our directors and
officers provide, among other things, for the indemnification to the fullest extent permitted or
required by Delaware law, provided that no indemnitee will be entitled to indemnification in
connection with any claim initiated by the indemnitee against us or our directors or officers
unless we join or consent to the initiation of the claim, or the purchase and sale of securities by
the indemnitee in violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.
Any repeal or modification of these provisions approved by our stockholders will be
prospective only and will not adversely affect any limitation on the liability of any of our
directors or officers existing as of the time of such repeal or modification.
We are also permitted to apply for insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or
other agent for liability arising out of his actions, whether or not the DGCL would permit
indemnification.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in
the registration statement;
