PART
I.
Item
1. Business.
Overview
Defentect
Group, Inc., formerly known as Splinternet Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is the
parent company of Splinternet Communications, Inc., originally a provider of
Internet Telephony services, which entered the radiation detection market in
2007, and Vidiation, Inc., a security sales and marketing company which was
acquired on April 30, 2008.
The
Company develops and markets technologies for the security and threat management
industry. Our products react to the detection of chemical,
biological, radiological or nuclear (“CBRNE”) threats and notify responders and
key administrators immediately. The Company’s unique response technology can be
easily integrated with other manufacturers’ sensors, and serve many different
markets.
The
Company’s product suite is currently installed in several locations around the
United States, including hospitals, self storage facilities and other high risk
facilities.
Although
revenues still come from the Internet Telephony business, the Company has been
primarily engaged in the security and threat management business since
2008. We continue to seek new markets for our core
technologies.
History
The
Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 22, 2006 under the
name Splinternet Holdings, Inc. On April 3, 2006, the Company conducted a share
for share exchange of securities with Splinternet Communications, Inc. whereby
214,002 shares of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share of Splinternet
Communications, Inc. were exchanged for 53,500,500 shares of the common stock,
par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Company (the “Share
Exchange”), as a result of which Splinternet Communications, Inc. became a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
On April
30, 2008, the Company consummated the transaction contemplated by an Agreement
and Plan of Merger (the “Vidiation Merger Agreement”) dated February 7, 2008
among the Company, Vidiation, Inc., a Delaware corporation and Splinternet
Merger Sub I, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company formed for the
purpose of such transaction) (the “Merger Sub”) pursuant to which the Merger Sub
has merged into Vidiation, Inc. resulting in Vidiation, Inc. becoming a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon closing, the
Company issued an aggregate of 4,788,179 shares of common stock to the
shareholders of Vidiation, Inc. in exchange for the cancellation of the then
outstanding shares of common stock of Vidiation, Inc.
Splinternet
Communications, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Connecticut on January 12,
2000. Since inception, we have been a developer of products, services, and
marketing strategies centered around opportunities in Internet
communications. From 2000 through 2007 our approach was to develop
products and services that would capitalize on the shift in telecommunications
technologies from traditional telephony to Internet telephony. During this
period the Company experienced disappointing revenue growth in this market.
Because of this, during 2007 we shifted our focus into the development of a new
radiation detection device which launched us into the radiation detection
market. In 2008 our research and development was focused
on developing an Internet Protocol (IP) based management, monitoring
and messaging system which interfaced with our radiation detection devices and
other third-party sensors. In 2009 we successfully completed several pilot
programs which utilized our management, monitoring and messaging
system and sensors.
Vidiation,
Inc. was a radiation detection sales and marketing company incorporated in
the State of Delaware on December 10, 2007, which acquired certain assets from
Vidiation LLC. Vidiation LLC was a radiation detection technology
development company which had extensive sales and marketing experience in the
surveillance and security market space and was actively engaged in that
space. The progress Vidiation, Inc. had been making in that business was
desired by the Company and precipitated the above-referenced
transaction.
Pursuant
to a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation filed with the
State of Delaware and effective as of March 23, 2010, (i) the number of
authorized shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company
increased from 90,000,000 to 250,000,000 (the “Capitalization Amendment”), and
(ii) the Company’s name changed from “Splinternet Holdings, Inc.” to “Defentect
Group, Inc.” (the “Corporate Name Change”). The Capitalization
Amendment and Corporate Name Change were approved by the Board of Directors
along with requisite stockholder consent. As a result of the
Corporate Name Change, our stock symbol changed to DFTC with the opening of
trading on April 5, 2010 on the OTCBB.
The
holding company does not conduct any business or own any assets other than all
of the issued and outstanding shares of Splinternet Communications, Inc. and
Vidiation, Inc. References herein to “we”, “us” or “our” refer to the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, unless explicitly stated to the
contrary.
Our
corporate address is 535 Connecticut Avenue, 2
nd
floor,
Norwalk, Connecticut 06854. Our telephone number is (203)
354-9164.
Our
Business
Security
and Threat Management
In 2007,
we developed a device and process to both detect and report the detection of
radiation, specifically gamma rays characteristic of the materials most likely
to be used in creating radiation dispersion devices. We have
initiated the process of patenting the detection and reporting
process. The Company believed that there was a large market for such
a product. We believed that our system was significantly more
effective than existing systems in the market at the time. We documented the
results in two private laboratories. The Company began production and
sale during the second quarter of 2008. We intended to
outsource the manufacture of the hardware so as to reduce the investment
required to a minimum. We have and will continue to engage third
parties to market the product. The Company believes that its largest
customers will be the government, health care, shipping, transportation,
security and related industries.
During
2008, we developed Internet Protocol (IP) based management, monitoring and
messaging system that interfaced with our radiation detection devices,
third-party radiation detection sensors and other third-party threat-event
sensors. The management and messaging software utilized our existing
communications infrastructure, to provide administrative, configuration and
messaging services. This enabled our customers to add a variety of devices to
their existing security systems and achieve timely situational awareness and
response.
Splinternet
Communications, Inc. is the primary operating unit, doing business as Defentect
and utilizing the sales and marketing resources of Vidiation, Inc.
Working
with a network of independent representatives and integrators in the IP Video
Surveillance industry, Defentect has focused IP Radiation Detection (IPRD) sales
and marketing resources in segments where the awareness of public safety and
environmental concerns surrounding radiological materials is increasing and
personnel are being trained to respond. The market segments are:
Hospitals & Research
Centers
– The use of IPRD systems help hospitals to enhance security and
safety in areas where radioactive materials may be present. Some areas of
concern are; potential abuse of radiological materials used in the hospital,
monitoring of hospital public entrances in case of the influx of people after a
radiological event in the community and the prevention of improper disposal of
contaminated hospital waste.
Waste Transfer Stations &
Landfills
– In this segment radiation levels can range from just above
background, which is found in nature, to highly radioactive. High radiation can
occur from the improper disposal of waste which has been contaminated such as
protective shoe covers and clothing, wiping rags, mops, filters, reactor water
treatment residues, equipment and tools, luminous dials, medical tubes, swabs,
injection needles, syringes and laboratory animal carcasses and tissues. In this
market the use of IPRD systems helps to prevent radioactive contaminated waste
from entering the facility and into landfills.
Municipalitie
s
– The use of IPRD
systems are needed in public facilities and transportation hubs, along with
financial, law and commerce centers as defined by the needs of local public
safety officials.
Public Self-Storage
–
Responding to a memorandum distributed by the FBI highlighting the risk of
terrorists’ use of storage facilities as the place to amass radiological
materials and construct a “dirty bomb,” Defentect has developed an industry
specific IPRD offering for the public self-storage industry.
Acquisition
of Vidiation, Inc
.
As
mentioned above, on April 30, 2008 and pursuant to the Vidiation Merger
Agreement, we acquired Vidiation, Inc. resulting in Vidiation, Inc. becoming a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Vidiation, Inc. had signed
numerous reseller agreements, established relationships with key corporations in
the radiation detection industry and negotiated pilot programs to test the
Splinternet Defentect technology at the time of the
acquisition. These were measurable outputs that Vidiation, Inc. had
achieved as a sales and marketing firm in the radiation technology industry at
the time of the acquisition. The combination of these outputs with
its policies, procedures, management and systems, combined to allow the
Vidiation, Inc. to meet the definition of a business and therefore was subject
to SFAS 141, Business Combinations accounting.
Prior to
the acquisition, and in February, March and April 2008, the Company made loans
to Vidiation, Inc. in the principal amount of $165,000 which loans are due on
demand and accrue interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum to the date of payment in
full. Such obligation has been guaranteed by Frank O’Connor and Vidiation
LLC. Such loans made by the Company to Vidiation, Inc. are referred
to as the “Vidiation Loans”.
On April
30, 2008, and in connection with the closing under the Vidiation Merger
Agreement, the parties executed a supplemental closing agreement whereby, among
other things, (i) the parties acknowledged that the Vidiation Loans shall not be
extinguished as a result of the transaction consummated under the Vidiation
Merger Agreement, and (ii) Vidiation, Inc. and Frank O’Connor reaffirmed and
acknowledged their continuing obligation under the Vidiation Loans. In addition,
both Vidiation, Inc. and Frank O’Connor agreed to indemnify the Company with
respect to any of the then existing liabilities of Vidiation, Inc.
The
acquisition is intended to accelerate revenue growth in the Company’s security
and threat management business by increasing sales coverage through the addition
of sales people from Vidiation, Inc. with knowledge of the marketplace and
existing client relationships, increasing the Company’s presence in targeted
markets and providing greater coverage in several key industries. The
acquisition is also intended to achieve cost synergies in general and
administrative expenses.
Our
Services
Our
business, in the past, consisted of reselling excess telecommunications capacity
to areas where our presence can more cheaply and efficiently route the call. For
example, we may buy minutes from a local telephone or Internet telephony carrier
in a particular country and re-sell those minutes to a traditional international
long distance carrier, as purchasing the minutes from us is often cheaper (if
possible at all) for the long distance carrier than procuring those same minutes
directly from the local carrier. This opportunity is enabled by the usual
circumstance that traditional long distance carriers charge for the duration of
each call and include the cost of carrying the traffic across international
borders. In contrast, Internet capacity is usually charged at a monthly rate,
rather than by the minute, for a fixed capacity, and local calls are frequently
relatively inexpensive. As a result, the cost of an Internet call terminated to
a local phone is less than the cost of an international call to the same phone.
We look for those routes that are underserved or where there is excess capacity
and the minutes can be purchased inexpensively.
During
the quarter ended June 30, 2007, we began purchasing long distance minutes at
wholesale prices from phone companies and then reselling them at a markup to our
customers. The Company will continue doing business in this
market.
Regulatory
Environment
The
security and threat management industry is subject to federal, state, and
international governmental regulation. Unknown matters, new laws and
regulations, or stricter interpretations of existing laws or regulations may
materially affect our proposed entry into this business or operations in the
future and/or could increase the cost of compliance. Our products
will have to comply with various domestic and international standards that are
used by regulatory and accreditation bodies for approving such services and
products. The failure of the Company to obtain accreditation for its
products and services may adversely affect us and the market perception of the
effectiveness of our proposed products. In the future, changes in
these standards and accreditation requirements may also result in the Company
having to incur substantial costs to adapt its offerings and
procedures. Additionally, changes affecting security and threat
management practices, including new understandings of the hazards of radiation
exposure and amended regulations, may impact how the Company’s services are used
by its customers and may, in some circumstances, cause the Company to alter its
products and delivery of its services.
The use
of the Internet and private IP networks to provide voice, video and other forms
of real-time, two-way communications services have existed for some time.
Although the provisioning of such services is currently permitted by United
States law and largely unregulated within the United States, several foreign
governments have adopted laws and/or regulations that could restrict or prohibit
the provisioning of voice communications services over the Internet or private
IP networks. More aggressive domestic or international regulation of the
Internet in general, and Internet telephony providers and services specifically,
may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating
results and future prospects, particularly if increased numbers of governments
impose regulations restricting the use and sale of IP telephony
services.
In
addition to regulations addressing Internet telephony and broadband services,
other regulatory issues relating to the Internet in general could affect our
ability to provide our services. Congress has adopted legislation that regulates
certain aspects of the Internet, including online content, user privacy,
taxation, liability for third-party activities and jurisdiction. In addition, a
number of initiatives pending in Congress and state legislatures would prohibit
or restrict advertising or sale of certain products and services on the
Internet, which may have the effect of raising the cost of doing business on the
Internet generally.
Federal,
state, local and foreign governmental organizations are also considering tax and
other legislative and regulatory proposals that would place additional burdens
on the Internet. We cannot predict whether new taxes will be imposed
on our services, and depending on the type of taxes imposed, whether and how our
services would be affected thereafter. Increased regulation of the Internet may
decrease its growth and hinder technological development, which may negatively
impact the cost of doing business via the Internet or otherwise materially
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Research
and Development
In 2007
we shifted our focus to the development of a radiation detection device that we
believed would broaden our scope to take advantage of opportunities in related
technologies.
During
2008, we developed an Internet Protocol (IP) based management, monitoring and
messaging system that interfaced with our radiation detection devices,
third-party radiation detection sensors and other third-party threat-event
sensors. The software is managed over the Web, utilizing our existing network
infrastructure to provide administrative access to the system. This enabled our
customers to add a wide range of devices to their existing security systems for
unmanned detection and automated response to variety of threats.
In 2009,
we undertook a major effort to enhance our proprietary software in response to
customer comments and assessments. We determined that the Defentect Management,
Monitoring and Messaging (DM3) System was an asset deserving of full commercial
development and the bulk of our research and development efforts were related to
our software and defining a standard protocol other sensors could use to gain
the benefit of our DM3 system.
Research
and development expenses include costs directly attributable to the conduct of
research and development projects primarily related to the development of new
product design and improving the efficiency and capabilities of our existing
products and processes. Such costs include services provided
primarily by outside contractors. All costs associated with research
and development are expensed as incurred. During the years ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008, the amounts spent on research and development
activities were $134,488 and $237,126, respectively.
Intellectual
Property
With
regard to the Company’s DM3 system patents will be material to our
operations. We have initiated the process of patenting our detection
and reporting process. No assurance can be given that such patent
application will be granted.
Development
or ownership of intellectual property is not necessary for the services we seek
to provide in the telecommunications industry. Consequently, we do
not own or license any telecommunications- related intellectual
property. The hardware necessary for our services is not proprietary
to the Company and much of the software utilized is open source software. We
have written proprietary software which functions as the user and administrative
interface to our sensors. This software is a component of our overall system and
is also sold on its own to users who want to add functionality to systems that
do not use our sensors. We have also contracted with non-employees to develop
special purpose tools and system enhancements.
Competition
With
regard to the security and threat management business, we will compete on the
basis of advanced technologies, competent implementation of these technologies,
the quality, reliability and price of our services and our prompt and responsive
performance. In much of the world, radiation detection activities are
conducted by a combination of private entities and governmental
agencies. In the United States, most of our competitors are larger,
have substantial resources, and have been particularly active in recent years in
soliciting business. We will also face substantial competitive
pressures from a number of smaller competitors.
Employees
As of
December 31, 2009, we employed four full-time employees through our
subsidiaries. We use contract labor for most of our technical and
professional needs.
We
provide equity-based compensation programs to reward and motivate employees and
significant contractors. We believe that relations with our employees and
contractors are good.
We cannot
be assured of being able to attract quality employees in the future. The future
success of our business will be largely contingent on our ability to attract and
retain personnel for the management team. There is no assurance that we can find
suitable management personnel or will have the financial resources to attract or
retain such people, if found.
Item 1A. Risk
Factors
There
are numerous and varied risks, known and unknown, that may prevent us from
achieving our goals, including those described below. The risks described below
are not the only ones we will face. Additional risks not presently known to us
or that the Company currently deems immaterial may also impair our financial
performance and business operations. If any of these risks actually occurs, our
business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially
adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our Common Stock could
decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Before making any
investment decision, you should also review and consider the other information
set forth in this report.
BUSINESS
AND FINANCIAL RISKS
THE
ONGOING ECONOMIC SLOWDOWN MAY HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE IMPACT ON OUR BUSINESS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION THAT WE CURRENTLY CANNOT PREDICT.
The
ongoing global economic slowdown has caused turmoil and upheaval characterized
by extreme volatility and declines in prices of securities, diminished liquidity
and credit availability, inability to access capital markets, the bankruptcy,
failure, collapse or sale of financial institutions and an unprecedented level
of intervention from the United States federal government and other governments.
Unemployment has risen while businesses and consumer confidence have declined
and there are fears of a prolonged recession. While the ultimate
outcome of these events cannot be predicted, they could materially adversely
affect our business and financial condition, including our ability to raise any
equity or debt financing in the future.
OUR
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM HAVE ISSUED A GOING CONCERN
OPINION.
Our
auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion that
accompanies our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2009, indicating that our recurring losses from operations,
stockholders’ deficiency, and working capital deficiency raise substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.
WE WILL
NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING IN ORDER TO CONTINUE OUR OPERATIONS WHICH WE MAY NOT
BE ABLE TO RAISE.
We will
require additional capital to finance our future operations. We can
provide no assurance that we will obtain additional financing sufficient to meet
our future needs on commercially reasonable terms or otherwise. If we
are unable to obtain the necessary financing, our business, operating results
and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.
OUR
PERFORMANCE DEPENDS ON MARKET ACCEPTANCE OF OUR PRODUCTS AND WE CANNOT BE SURE
THAT OUR PRODUCTS ARE COMMERCIALLY VIABLE.
We expect
to derive a substantial portion of our future revenues from the sales of
radiation detection equipment and services that is only now entering the initial
marketing phase. Although we believe our products and technologies will be
commercially viable, these are new products. If markets for our
products fail to develop further, develop more slowly than expected or are
subject to substantial competition, our business, financial condition and
results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.
RAPIDLY
CHANGING TECHNOLOGY AND SUBSTANTIAL COMPETITION MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR
BUSINESS.
Our
business is subject to rapid changes in technology. We can provide no
assurances that research and development by competitors will not render our
technology obsolete or uncompetitive. We compete with a number of
companies that have technologies and products similar to those offered by us and
have greater resources, including more extensive research and development,
marketing and capital than we do. If our technology is rendered
obsolete or we are unable to compete effectively, our business, operating
results and financial condition will be materially and adversely
affected.
DEFECTS
IN OUR PRODUCTS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.
Complex
technologies such as the technologies developed by us may contain defects when
introduced and also when updates and new products are released. Our introduction
of technology with defects or quality problems may result in adverse publicity,
product returns, reduced orders, uncollectible or delayed accounts receivable,
product redevelopment costs, loss of or delay in market acceptance of our
products or claims by customers or others against us. Such problems or claims
may have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
WE HAVE
HAD LIMITED REVENUES THUS FAR.
To date,
we have had limited revenues. Because we are subject to all risks inherent in a
business venture, it is not possible to predict whether we will ever be
profitable. Our revenues for our fiscal year 2009 and 2008 were primarily from a
single customer (BuenaVox LLC). Even if we succeed with our current
business plan, we may never become profitable, as we will continue to incur
operating and capital expenditures for items such as salary, inventory, data
processing equipment, shipping and other ongoing business
activities.
Accordingly,
it is not possible to predict whether or not our current and proposed activities
will be sufficiently profitable. Purchasers of our shares should bear in mind
that, in light of the risks and contingencies involved, no assurance can be
given that we will ever generate enough revenue to offset expenses or to
generate a return on invested capital. There is no guarantee of our successful,
profitable operation. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability can be
expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition,
results of operations and future business prospects.
WE MAY
EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT FLUCTUATIONS IN OUR OPERATING RESULTS AND RATE OF GROWTH
AND MAY NOT BE PROFITABLE IN THE FUTURE.
Our
results of operations may fluctuate significantly due to a variety of factors,
many of which are outside of our control and difficult to predict. The following
are some of the factors that may affect us from period to period and may affect
our long-term financial performance:
|
·
|
our
ability to retain and increase revenues associated with customers and
satisfy customers’ demands;
|
|
·
|
our
ability to be profitable in the
future;
|
|
·
|
our
investments in longer-term growth
opportunities;
|
|
·
|
our
ability to expand our marketing network, and to enter into, maintain,
renew and amend strategic alliance arrangements on favorable
terms;
|
|
·
|
changes
to service offerings and pricing by us or our
competitors;
|
|
·
|
fluctuations
caused by marketing efforts and competitors’ marketing and pricing
strategies;
|
|
·
|
changes
in the terms, including pricing, of our agreements with our
telecommunications providers;
|
|
·
|
the
effects of commercial agreements and strategic alliances and our ability
to successfully integrate them into our
business;
|
|
·
|
technical
difficulties, system downtime or
interruptions;
|
|
·
|
the
effects of litigation and the timing of resolutions of
disputes;
|
|
·
|
the
amount and timing of operating costs and capital
expenditures;
|
|

|
changes
in governmental regulation and taxation
policies; and
|
|
·
|
changes
in, or the effect of, accounting rules, on our operating
results.

OUR
HISTORICAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MAKE EVALUATION OF OUR BUSINESS BY POTENTIAL
INVESTORS AND OTHERS DIFFICULT.
We
commenced our business operations in January 2000 and began generating
revenue in 2001. However, since we recently refocused our business strategy to
include security and threat management software, our historical financial
statements, which primarily reflect our Internet telephony retail sales, are of
limited usefulness in evaluating our potential future financial
position.
WE MAY
NOT SUCCESSFULLY ENHANCE EXISTING OR DEVELOP NEW PRODUCTS AND SERVICES IN A
COST-EFFECTIVE MANNER TO MEET CUSTOMER DEMAND IN THE RAPIDLY EVOLVING MARKETS IN
WHICH WE ARE ENGAGED.
The
markets in which we are engaged are characterized by rapidly changing
technology, evolving industry standards, changes in customer needs and frequent
new service and product introductions. Our future success will depend, in part,
on our ability to use leading technologies effectively, to continue to develop
our technical expertise, to enhance our existing services and to develop new
services that meet changing customer needs on a timely and cost-effective basis.
We may not be able to adapt quickly enough to changing technology, customer
requirements and industry standards. If we fail to use new technologies
effectively, to develop our technical expertise and new services, or to enhance
existing services on a timely basis, either internally or through arrangements
with third parties, our product and service offerings may fail to meet customer
needs, which would adversely affect our revenues and prospects for
growth.
We have
spent and will continue to spend signification resources enhancing, developing,
implementing and launching our security and threat management products and
services. We believe threat detection products and services represent a
significant growth opportunity. However, losses are expected to result in the
early stages until a sufficient number of customers are added whose recurring
revenues, net of recurring costs, more than offset sales, marketing and other
expenses incurred to add additional customers.
To the
extent we pursue commercial agreements, acquisitions and/or strategic alliances
to facilitate new product or service activities, the agreements, acquisitions
and/or alliances may not be successful. If any of this were to occur, it could
damage our reputation, limit our growth, negatively affect our operating results
and harm our business.
RELIANCE
UPON THIRD-PARTY SUPPLIERS FOR COMPONENTS MAY PLACE US AT RISK OF INTERRUPTION
OF SUPPLY OR INCREASE IN COSTS.
We rely
on third-party suppliers for the hardware and software necessary for our
services and we do not have any long-term supply agreements. Although we believe
we can secure other suppliers, we expect that the deterioration or cessation of
any relationship would have a material adverse effect, at least temporarily,
until the new relationships are satisfactorily in place.
We also
run the risk of supplier price increases and component shortages. Competition
for materials in short supply can be intense, and we may not be able to compete
effectively against other purchasers who have higher volume requirements or more
established relationships. Even if suppliers have adequate supplies of
components, they may be unreliable in meeting delivery schedules, experience
their own financial difficulties, provide components of inadequate quality or
provide them at prices which reduce our profit. Any problems with our
third-party suppliers can be expected to have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition, business, results of operations and continued growth
prospects.
WE FACE
SIGNIFICANT COMPETITION.
We
compete on the basis of advanced technologies, competent execution of these
technologies, the quality, reliability and price of our services and our prompt
and responsive performance. For example, in much of the world,
radiation detection activities are conducted by a combination of private
entities and governmental agencies. In the United States, most of our
competitors are larger, have substantial resources, and have been particularly
active in recent years in soliciting business. We will also face
substantial competitive pressures from a number of smaller
competitors.
THE
RADIATION DETECTION INDUSTRY IS SUBJECT TO EXTENSIVE DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS, WHICH COULD INCREASE OUR COSTS, CAUSE US TO INCUR
LIABILITIES AND ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The
radiation detection industry is subject to federal, state, and international
governmental regulation. Unknown matters, new laws and regulations, or stricter
interpretations of existing laws or regulations may materially affect our
proposed entry into this business or operations in the future and/or could
increase the cost of compliance. Our products will have to comply
with various domestic and international standards that are used by regulatory
and accreditation bodies for approving such services and
products. The failure of the Company to obtain accreditation for its
products and services may adversely affect us and the market perception of the
effectiveness of our proposed products. In the future, changes in
these standards and accreditation requirements may also result in the Company
having to incur substantial costs to adapt its offerings and
procedures. Additionally, changes affecting radiation detection
practices, including new understandings of the hazards of radiation exposure and
amended regulations, may impact how the Company’s services are used by its
customers and may, in some circumstances, cause the Company to alter its
products and delivery of its services.
OUR
INABILITY TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY IN THE RADIATION DETECTION
INDUSTRY COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS.
With
regard to our radiation detection device, patents will be material to our
operations. We have initiated the process of patenting our detection
and reporting process. No assurance can be given that such patent
application will be granted. Our success will depend in part on our
ability to develop patentable products and obtain and enforce patent protection
for our products both in the United States and in other
countries. Patents may not be issued for any pending or future
patent applications owned by or licensed to us, and the claims allowed under any
issued patents may not be sufficiently broad to protect our
technology. Any issued patents owned by or licensed to us may be
challenged, invalidated or circumvented, and the rights under these patents may
not provide us with competitive advantages. In addition, competitors
may design around our technology or develop competing
technologies. Intellectual property rights may also be unavailable or
limited in some foreign countries, which could make it easier for competitors to
capture increased market position. We could incur substantial costs
to defend ourselves in suits brought against us or in suits in which we may
assert our patent rights against others. An unfavorable outcome of any such
litigation could materially adversely affect our business and results of
operations.
THERE IS
NO ASSURANCE THAT WE CAN SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENT JOINT VENTURES OR FIND PARTNERS
FOR OUR BUSINESS.
With
regard to our radiation detection business, we intend to acquire or joint
venture with security companies that sell or install security systems to various
markets. These markets include and are not limited to hospitals and waste
management. The success of out business plan is predicated on us finding
appropriate partners and introducing the Company’s radiation detection products
to their operations.
There is
no assurance that we will be able to access such companies or to complete their
acquisition or negotiate joint ventures.
ONGOING
SUCCESS AND OUR ABILITY TO COMPETE DEPEND UPON HIRING AND RETENTION OF KEY
PERSONNEL.
Success
will
be dependent
to a significant degree upon the involvement of current management. These
individuals have critical industry experience and relationships upon which we
rely. The loss of services of any of our key personnel could divert time and
resources, delay the development of our business and negatively affect our
ability to sell our services or execute our business. In addition, we will need
to attract and retain additional talented individuals in order to carry out our
business objectives. The competition for such persons is intense and there are
no assurances that these individuals will be available. Such problems might be
expected to have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results
of current operations and future business prospects.
WE ARE
SUBJECT TO CONTROL BY OFFICERS AND MANAGEMENT AND THERE COULD BE CONFLICTS OF
INTEREST WITH MANAGEMENT WHICH MAY BE ADVERSE TO YOUR
INTERESTS.
Officers
and Directors of Defentect Group, Inc. beneficially own 45.7% of the voting
shares of the Company as of March 24, 2010. As a result, management will possess
meaningful influence and control over the Company, and will be able to control
and direct the Company’s affairs, including the election of directors and
approval of significant corporate transactions.
A
conflict of interest may arise between our management's personal pecuniary
interest and its fiduciary duty to our stockholders. Conflicts of interest
create the risk that management may have an incentive to act adversely to the
interests of other investors. Such influence may not necessarily be consistent
with the interests of our other stockholders.
DIRECTOR
AND OFFICER LIABILITY IS LIMITED.
As
permitted by Delaware law, the certificate of incorporation of the Company
limits the personal liability of directors to the fullest extent permitted by
the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law. As a result of our
charter provision and Delaware law, stockholders may have limited rights to
recover against directors for breach of fiduciary duty. In addition, the
certificate of incorporation of the Company provides that it shall indemnify its
directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law.
RISKS
RELATING TO THE OUR COMMON STOCK
WE HAVE
HAD IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL.
The
Company has significant intangible assets related to
goodwill. In determining the recoverability of goodwill, assumptions
are made regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine
the fair value of the assets. After completing the impairment testing of
goodwill
the
Company concluded an impairment charge of $2,831,790 should be taken at December
31, 2009 in connection with the recorded goodwill arising from its acquisition
made in 2008, This impairment charge was the result of projected revenue related
to the acquisition not being achieved and future sales contracts not being
projected.
THE PRICE
OF OUR COMMON STOCK IS HIGHLY VOLATILE.
The price
of our common stock is highly volatile. Fluctuations in the market price of our
common stock may be a result of any number of factors or a combination of
factors including, but not limited to:
|
·
|
the
number of shares in the market and the number of shares we may be required
to issue in the future compared to market demand for our
shares;
|
|
·
|
our
performance and meeting expectations of performance, including the
development and commercialization of our current and proposed products and
services;
|
|
·
|
market
conditions for Internet and media companies in the small capitalization
sector; and
|
|
·
|
general
economic and market conditions.
|
PENNY
STOCK REGULATIONS MAY IMPOSE CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON MARKETABILITY OF THE
COMPANY’S SECURITIES.
Our
common stock relies on the OTC Bulletin Board for the quotations and is subject
to rules pertaining to “penny stocks”. The SEC has adopted regulations which
generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market
price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less
than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our shares currently have a
market price of less than $5.00 per share. As a result, the Company’s Common
Stock is subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on
broker/dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established
clients and “accredited investors”. For transactions covered by these rules, the
broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of
such securities and have received the purchaser's written consent to the
transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a
penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the
transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the SEC relating to the
penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also disclose the commission payable
to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations
for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the
broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control
over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent
price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the
limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may
restrict the ability of broker/dealers to sell shares of the Company’s Common
Stock and may affect the ability of investors to sell such shares of Common
Stock in the secondary market and the price at which such investors can sell any
of such shares.
Investors
should be aware that, according to the SEC, the market for penny stocks has
suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns
include
:
|
·
|
control
of the market for the security by one or a few broker/dealers that are
often related to the promoter or
issuer;
|
|
·
|
manipulation
of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false
and misleading press releases;
|
|
·
|
“boiler
room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic
price projections by inexperienced sales
persons;
|
|
·
|
excessive
and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling
broker/dealers; and
|
|
·
|
the
wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker/dealers
after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the
inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor
losses.
|
Section
15(g) of the Exchange Act and Rule 15g-2 of the Securities and Exchange
Commission require broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential
investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a
manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before making any
transaction in a penny stock for the investor’s account. You are urged to obtain
and read this disclosure carefully before purchasing any of our
shares.
Rule
15g-9 of the Securities and Exchange Commission requires broker/dealers in penny
stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in these stocks
before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the
broker/dealer to:
|
·
|
get
information about the investor’s financial situation, investment
experience and investment goals;
|
|
·
|
reasonably
determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks
are suitable for the investor and that the investor can evaluate the risks
of penny stock transactions;
|
|
·
|
provide
the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the
broker/dealer made his or her determination;
and
|
|
·
|
receive
a signed and dated copy of the statement from the investor, confirming
that it accurately reflects the investors’ financial situation, investment
experience and investment goals.
|
Compliance
with these requirements may make it harder for our stockholders to resell their
shares.
IF WE
RAISE ADDITIONAL FUNDS THROUGH THE ISSUANCE OF EQUITY SECURITIES, OR DETERMINE
IN THE FUTURE TO REGISTER ADDITIONAL COMMON STOCK, YOUR PERCENTAGE OWNERSHIP
WILL BE REDUCED, YOU WILL EXPERIENCE DILUTION WHICH COULD SUBSTANTIALLY DIMINISH
THE VALUE OF YOUR STOCK AND SUCH ISSUANCE MAY CONVEY RIGHTS, PREFERENCES OR
PRIVILEGES SENIOR TO YOUR RIGHTS WHICH COULD SUBSTANTIALLY DIMINISH YOUR RIGHTS
AND THE VALUE OF YOUR STOCK.
The
Company may issue additional shares of Common Stock for various reasons and may
grant stock options to employees, officers, directors and third parties. If the
Company determines to register for sale to the public additional shares of
Common Stock or other debt or equity securities in any future financing or
business combination, a material amount of dilution can be expected to cause the
market price of the Common Stock to decline. One of the factors which generally
affects the market price of publicly traded equity securities is the number of
shares outstanding in relationship to assets, net worth, earnings or anticipated
earnings. Furthermore, the public perception of future dilution can have the
same effect even if actual dilution does not occur.
SINCE WE
DO NOT INTEND TO DECLARE DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, THE RETURN ON YOUR
INVESTMENT WILL DEPEND UPON APPRECIATION OF THE MARKET PRICE OF YOUR
SHARES.
We have
never paid any dividends on our common stock. Our board of directors does not
intend to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future, but intends to retain
all earnings, if any, for use in our business operations. As a result, the
return on your investment in us will depend upon any appreciation in the market
price of our common stock. The holders of common stock are entitled to receive
dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors out of funds
legally available for dividend payments. The payment of dividends, if any, in
the future is within the discretion of our board of directors and will depend
upon our earnings, capital requirements and financial condition, and other
relevant factors.

2. Properties.
Our
principal executive offices are located in approximately 1,760 square feet of
office space located at 535 Connecticut Avenue, 2
nd
floor,
Norwalk, Connecticut 06854. We have leased this space for a period of
three years with the lease expiring March 31, 2009. On February 27, 2008, the
Company has renewed the lease for another three years and three months and
receives three free months of rent under the new lease. The new monthly rent is
$3,632 for the first year, $3,741 for the second, $3,853 for the final year and
$3,968 for the last three months, plus a monthly electricity charge of $293.50
per month for the duration of the lease. The Company has an option to
renew the lease for an additional three year period.
Vidiation,
Inc. leases an office at 108 South Wynstone Park Drive, Suite 114, North
Barrington, IL 60010. We have leased this space for a period of three years
starting December 1, 2007. The office is approximately 230 square feet. The
lease expires on November 30, 2010 and costs approximately $10,500.00 per year.
Vidiation, Inc. has no option to renew the lease and expects to continue leasing
the office space after the lease ends.
The
Company believes the facilities occupied are adequate for the purposes for which
they are currently used and are well maintained.
Item
3. Legal Proceedings.
Except as
set forth below, we are not a party to any pending legal proceeding, nor is our
property the subject of a pending legal proceeding, that is not in the ordinary
course of business or otherwise material to the financial condition of our
business. None of our directors, officers or affiliates is involved in a
proceeding adverse to our business or has a material interest adverse to our
business.
On April
28, 2009, The Idler Company, Inc. (“Idler”) commenced an action against the
Company, Vidiation, Inc., Vidiation, LLC, Frank O’Connor and James C. Ackerly in
the United States District Court, District of Connecticut pertaining to the
purchase by Idler of shares of Vidiation, LLC for $100,000 in
2007. Such action alleges various securities law violations, breach
of contract, rescission, fraud and unjust enrichment. We
intend to vigorously defend
this matter. However, we cannot predict or estimate the timing or ultimate
outcome of this matter.

Equity
Compensation Plan Information
On April
22, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 2008 Stock Incentive
Plan (the “2008 Stock Plan”). The purpose of the 2008 Stock Plan is
to provide officers, other employees and directors of, and consultants to, us an
incentive to (a) enter into and remain in our service or that of our
subsidiaries or to provide services to us or our subsidiaries, (b) enhance
our long term performance and that of our subsidiaries, and (c) acquire a
proprietary interest in us. Under the 2008 Stock Plan, we will have
the right to issue stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock,
restricted stock units, performance shares or performance units, and stock or
stock-based awards. The number of shares subject to the 2008 Stock Plan may not
exceed 6,000,000 shares in total. The 2008 Stock Plan is administered
by a committee of the Board of Directors (or if there is no committee, the Board
of Directors itself). In 2008, the Board of Directors granted
1,265,000 nonqualified stock options to employees and consultants, 360,000 of
which have been forfeited as of December 31, 2009. No options were granted in
2009 under the 2008 Stock Plan. In addition, through December 31,
2009, 2,135,537 shares of common stock have been awarded under the 2008 Stock
Plan, all of which were awarded in 2009.
In
addition to the foregoing, during 2009, 3,563,824 shares of common stock and
650,000 warrants were granted outside of the 2008 Stock Plan pursuant to
individual compensation arrangements.
The following equity compensation plan

Recent
Sales of Unregistered Securities
The
information set forth below describes our issuance of securities without
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, during the year ended
December 31, 2009, that were not previously disclosed in a Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q, or in a Current Report on Form 8-K:
In
connection with the appointment of Ambassador L. Paul Bremer, III to serve as a
member of the Company’s Board of Directors, effective October 10, 2008, the
Board has agreed to issue to Ambassador Bremer, or his designee, 1,000,000
shares of our common stock which will vest quarterly over two years with
acceleration of vesting when authorized by the Board of Directors in
acknowledgement of extraordinary circumstances or success. As a
result, unless accelerated, 125,000 shares will be issued to Ambassador Bremer
quarterly and the Company will record non-cash compensation expense for the fair
value of shares issued. Through December 31, 2009, a total of 625,000
shares have been issued. Of such amount, 500,000 were issued in 2009.
The issuance of these shares of common stock are exempt from registration
requirements pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.
During
the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company issued to Frank O’Connor for services
rendered 400,000 shares of common stock and 400,000 warrants which are
exercisable into shares of common stock at $0.10 per share and expire in two
years. The issuance of these securities were exempt from registration
requirements pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
During
the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company issued 1,163,824 shares of common stock
to six other persons and entities for certain services rendered. The
issuance of these securities were exempt from registration requirements pursuant
to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
In April,
2009 the Company issued a private placement for up to 5,000,000 of common stock
with warrants attached. The cost per share was $0.125 per share. For every share
of common stock sold, the Company issued the purchaser one warrant for common
stock. The warrant life is two years with a strike price of $0.10 per
shares. In April, 2009 the Company sold 560,000 common shares and
560,000 two-year warrants with a strike price of $0.10 per share. In August 2009
the Company sold 160,000 common shares and 160,000 two-year warrants with a
strike price of $01.00 per share.

revenues for 2009 were $733,886 which is a decrease from $818,214 in 2008. The
decrease is due to lower than expected sales of termination services in 2009.
The Company’s strategy has been to limit our purchase of long distance minutes
to calling areas with higher margins. During 2009 there were fewer of these
calling areas than there were on 2008. The decrease in termination services was
offset by an increase in sales of the Company’s radiation detection products as
compared to the same period in 2008.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses
In 2009,
total selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,211,414, which is a
decrease from $1,632,237 in 2007. This decrease is primarily due to the Company
implementing cost saving measures in an effort to conserve cash. Some
of the cost saving measures implemented included, but are not limited to
employee attrition and reducing the Company’s use of outside consultants.
Additionally, during 2009 the Company’s stock price was lower as compared to
2008 which caused our stock compensation expense to decrease.
Impairment
of goodwill
The
Company performed its annual impairment test of goodwill and determined that the
recorded goodwill arising from its acquisition of Vidiation, Inc. in 2008 was
not fully recoverable since projected revenue related to the acquisition had not
been achieved and future sales contracts have not been projected. Consequently,
the Company concluded an impairment charge of $2,831,790 should be taken at
December 31, 2009.
Research
and development expenses
Research
and development decreased to $134,488 in 2009 from $237,126 in
2008. The decrease was the result of the development of the Company
radiation detection sensors being completed and the reduced use of
consultants.
Interest
Income
The
Company had $5,389 interest income in 2009. The Company recorded
$23,990 in interest income in 2008. The decrease is due to lower
average balances available for investing in 2009 versus 2008 which is offset by
interest earned on the Company’s Promissory Note.
Interest
Expense
The
Company recorded $42,249 in interest expense in 2008. The Company recorded
$3,973 in interest expense in 2007. The increase is due to the accrual of
interest expense on additional loans made to the Company by the CEO in 2009 as
compared to the same period in 2008.
Provision
for Income Taxes
Up to
this date, the Company has not had taxable income as it has incurred losses for
tax purposes. The tax asset generated by the tax losses and any temporary
differences has been fully reserved.
Net
Loss
The
Company had a loss of $4,180,276 in 2009 compared to a loss of $1,785,832 in
2008. The increase in the loss was due primarily to the Company’s
determination that the entire goodwill balance of $2,831,790 was unrecoverable
and impaired therefore written off to operation on December 31, 2009.
During 2009 the Company
implementing cost saving measures in an effort to conserve cash. Some
of the cost saving measures implemented included, but are not limited to
employee attrition and reducing the Company’s use of outside consultants. During
2009 the Company’s stock price was lower as compared to 2008 which caused our
stock compensation expense to decrease. These cost saving measures contributed
to decreasing the Company’s net loss by $420,823 in 2009.
Financial
Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of
December 31, 2009, we had approximately $24,000 in cash, $104,000 in accounts
receivable and $78,000 in notes and interest receivable and approximately
$1,246,000 in liabilities. The Company has primarily supplied its cash needs
through loans from Mr. Ackerly (the Company’s President and Chief Executive
Officer) and stock offerings. The Company’s need to obtain capital from outside
investors is expected to continue until we are able to achieve profitable
operations, if ever. There is no assurance that management will be successful in
fulfilling all or any element of its plans. The failure to achieve these plans
will have a material adverse effect on our Company’s financial position, results
of operations and ability to continue as a going concern. As noted in our
auditor’s report dated April 15, 2010, there is substantial doubt about our
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Although Mr.
Ackerly has loaned the Company funds to support its operations, there is no
guarantee that he will be able to continue to do so.
Net cash
used by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $690,073
which was primarily the result of the net loss of $4,180,276 and is off set by
goodwill impairment of $2,831,790 and the increase in deferred revenue and
non-cash stock compensation expenses. This compared to net cash used
by operating activities of $1,283,298 for the year ended December 31, 2008 which
was primarily the result of the net loss of $1,785,832. For the year
ended December 31, 2008, net cash provided by financing activities was $184,648
compared to a source of $708,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The
$184,648 was due to collection of a note, sale of equity, and loans from an
officer off set by loans made to Vidiation, Inc. prior to its acquisition by the
Company. The change in 2009 is primarily due to loans from an officer
and the sale of equity. We have recently experienced cash flow difficulties
primarily because our expenses have exceeded our revenues. We expect to incur
additional operating losses for the immediate near future. These factors, among
others, raise significant doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue from our operations to
pay expenses or we are unable to obtain additional financing on commercially
reasonable terms, our business, financial condition and results of operations
will be materially and adversely affected.

Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We do not
have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a
current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of
operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
following is a discussion of the accounting policies the Company believes are
critical to its operations:
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to
the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably
assured.
The
Company recognizes revenue when termination services have been performed. The
Company does not offer prepays for termination services. For the
Company’s radiation detection products which require an acceptance period during
which the customer may cancel their contract or purchase order without penalty,
the Company defers the revenue recognition until the end of that acceptance
period. The Company offers a one year warranty on its radiation detection
products and provides for estimated future warranty costs at the time revenue is
recognized. As of this filing date, no warranty obligation has been
recorded.
The
Company has recognized revenue for purchased hardware (for resale) when the
products have been shipped and all of the conditions above have been
met. In the past these suppliers have offered a warranty of one year.
The Company generally warrants these same hardware products for one year after
sale and provides for estimated future warranty costs at the time revenue is
recognized. Consequently, our warranty liability is limited to the cost of the
logistics involved in accepting returns and shipping replacements. As
of the filing date, no warranty obligation has been recorded for hardware
purchased for resale.
Research and Development
Costs
During
2008, we developed an Internet Protocol (IP) based management, monitoring and
messaging system which interfaces with our radiation detection devices,
third-party radiation detection sensors and other third-party threat-event
sensors. The software is managed over the Web, utilizing our existing network
infrastructure to provide administrative access to the system. This enables our
customers to add a wide range of devices to their existing security systems for
unmanned detection and automated response to a variety of threats.
In 2009,
we undertook a major effort to enhance our proprietary software in response to
customer comments and assessments. We determined that the Defentect Management,
Monitoring and Messaging (DM3) System was an asset deserving of full commercial
development and the bulk of our research and development efforts were
related to our software and defining a standard protocol other sensors could use
to gain the benefit of our DM3 system.
The
Company will continue to enhance the DM3 software with planned new features and
improvements. In addition we will continue to seek customer comments and
assessments. The Company can not ensure all customer comments and assessments
will be incorporated into future DM3 releases.
Research
and development expenses include costs directly attributable to the conduct of
research and development projects primarily related to the development of new
product design and improving the efficiency and capabilities of existing
products and processes. Such costs include services provided primarily by
outside contractors. All costs associated with research and development is
expensed as incurred. The Company incurred research and development costs of
$134,488 and $237,126 in the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
respectively.
Impairment of
Goodwill
Goodwill
represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of net
assets acquired. The process of determining goodwill requires judgment. The
Company had recorded Goodwill as a result of its acquisition of Vidiation,
Inc. Vidiation, Inc. had signed numerous reseller agreements,
established relationships with key corporations in the radiation detection
industry and negotiated pilot programs to test the Defentect technology at the
time of the acquisition. These were measurable outputs that
Vidiation, Inc. had achieved as a sales and marketing firm in the radiation
technology industry at the time of the acquisition. The combination
of these outputs with its policies, procedures, management and systems, combined
to allow the Vidiation, Inc. to meet the definition of a business and therefore
was subject to Business Combination accounting. As a result, after
allocating the purchase price to tangible and intangible assets, the difference
was determined to be Goodwill. Evaluating goodwill for impairment
involves the fair value of the reporting units. Inherent in such fair value
determinations are certain judgments and estimates, including the interpretation
of current economic indicators and market valuations, and the strategic plans
with regard to the Company’s operations. To the extent additional information
arises or the strategies change, it is possible the conclusion regarding
goodwill impairment could change, which could have a material effect on the
financial position and results of operations. For these reasons, the Company
believes the accounting estimates related to goodwill impairment is a critical
accounting estimate.
The
Company has significant intangible assets related to goodwill. In determining
the recoverability of goodwill, assumptions are made regarding estimated future
cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the assets. After
completing the impairment testing of goodwill, the Company concluded an
impairment charge should be taken at December 31, 2009 in connection with the
recorded goodwill arising from its acquisition made in 2008 since the projected
revenue related to the acquisition had not been achieved and future revenue
sales contracts have not been projected.
Segment
Disclosure
Effective
January 1, 2010 management determined that it would cease the separate reporting
of two separate businesses and focus the entire organization on the development
and sale of software and services. All of the company's products are based
on the same basic software system. In support of the Company’s new focus,
the Company changed its name to Defentect Group, Inc. The software will be
sold and marketed through its subsidiary Vidiation, Inc. As a result of
this change in operations, the Company will report its operations as one segment
effective January 1, 2010.
Income
Taxes
Effective
January 1, 2007, we adopted the accounting standard on accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes This standard provides detailed guidance
for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain
tax positions recognized in the financial statements. Tax positions must meet a
“more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold at the effective date to be
recognized upon adoption and in subsequent periods.
Upon adoption, we had no unrecognized tax benefits. During the year
ended December 31, 2009, we recognized no adjustments for uncertain tax
benefits.
We
recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in
selling, general and administrative expenses. No interest and penalties related
to uncertain tax positions were accrued at December 31, 2009.
Income
taxes are computed using the asset and liability method of accounting. Under the
asset and liability method, a deferred tax asset or liability is recognized for
estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and
carryforwards. The measurement of deferred income tax assets is adjusted by a
valuation allowance, if necessary, to recognize future tax benefits only to the
extent, based on available evidence; it is more likely than not such benefits
will be realized. Our deferred tax assets were fully reserved at December 31,
2009 and 2008.
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a
smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this
item.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Defentect
Group, Inc.
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Defentect Group, Inc. and
subsidiaries, formerly known as Splinternet Holdings, Inc and subsidiaries, as
of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Defentect Group, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their
operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, the Company
has recurring losses from operations and a working capital deficiency at
December 31, 2009. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are
also discussed in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these
uncertainties.
We were
not engaged to examine management’s assertion of the effectiveness of Defentect
Group, Inc. and subsidiaries internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2009, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal
Control over Financial Reporting and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion
there on.

to consolidated financial statements
NOTE
1.
ORGANIZATION
AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES OF THE GROUP
Defentect
Group, Inc., formerly known as Splinternet Holdings, Inc., (the “Company”) is
the parent company of Splinternet Communications, Inc., an Internet telephony
company which entered into the radiation detection market with its radiation
detection device in 2007, as well as Vidiation, Inc., a radiation detection
sales and marketing company which was acquired on April 30, 2008.
The
Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 22,
2006. On April 3, 2006, The Company conducted a share for share
exchange of securities with Splinternet Communications, Inc. whereby 214,002
shares of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share of Splinternet
Communications, Inc. were exchanged for 53,500,500 shares of the common stock,
par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Company (the “Share
Exchange”), as a result of which Splinternet Communications, Inc. became a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The
Company does not conduct any business or own any assets other than all of the
issued and outstanding shares of Splinternet Communications, Inc.
Splinternet
Communications, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Connecticut on January 12,
2000. Splinternet Communications, Inc. is a developer of Internet telephony
technology and services which enable customers to make phone calls utilizing the
Internet as an alternative to the traditional Public Switched Telephone Network
(“PSTN”).
On April
30, 2008, the Company acquired Vidiation, Inc. pursuant to which at closing
Splinternet Merger Sub I, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company formed
in 2008 for the purpose of such transaction) merged into Vidiation, Inc., as a
result of which Vidiation, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
The Company issued an aggregate of 4,788,179 shares of common stock of the
Company to the shareholders of Vidiation, Inc. in exchange for the cancellation
of the then outstanding shares of common stock of Vidiation, Inc. As a result,
the former stockholders of Vidiation, Inc. owned 7.8% of the total issued and
outstanding shares of common stock of the Company as of the date of
acquisition.
Vidiation,
Inc. was a radiation detection sales and marketing company incorporated in the
State of Delaware on December 10, 2007, which acquired certain assets from
Vidiation LLC. Vidiation LLC was a radiation detection technology
development company which had extensive sales and marketing experience in the
surveillance and security market space and was actively engaged in that
space. The progress Vidiation, Inc. had been making in that business was
desired by the Company and precipitated the above-referenced
transaction.
The
acquisition of Vidiation, Inc. was intended to accelerate revenue growth in the
Company’s security and threat management business by increasing sales coverage
through the addition of sales people from Vidiation, Inc. with knowledge of the
marketplace and existing client relationships, increasing the Company’s presence
in targeted markets and providing greater coverage in several key industries.
The acquisition is also intended to achieve cost synergies in general and
administrative expenses.
NOTE

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Going Concern
These
financial statements have been presented on the basis that the Company is a
going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction
of liabilities in the normal course of business. During fiscal year 2006, the
Company commenced sales of its products and began generating revenues. However,
as of December 31, 2009, the Company has negative working capital of $879,335,
an accumulated deficit of $7,919,759 and for the year ended December 31, 2009
incurred a net loss of $4,180,276, all of which raise substantial doubt about
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of
the CEO to support the operations through loans is not
determinable.
Managements’
plans for the Company include more aggressive marketing, raising additional
capital and other strategies designed to optimize shareholder value. However, no
assurance can be made that management will be successful in fulfilling all
components of its plan. The failure to achieve these plans will have a material
adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and
ability to continue as a going concern.
Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Splinternet Communications, Inc. and
Vidiation, Inc. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
For
purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid
debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to
be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash in bank deposit
accounts which, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not
experienced any losses on these accounts.
Concentrations
of Credit and Market Risks
For the
year ended 2009 the Company conducted a major portion of its business with one
customer who accounted for 88% of total revenues. Sales to this customer
amounted to approximately $716,000. At December 31, 2009, the same customer owed
23% of the accounts receivable balance of $104,290. For 2008 this customer
accounted for 86% of total revenue.
Cash
The
Company currently does not maintain a substantial amount of cash and cash
equivalents with financial which exceeds federally insured limits. The Company
maintains its cash with high quality financial institutions, which the Company
believes limits risk.
Accounts
Receivable
Trade
accounts receivables are recorded at the invoice amount and do not bear
interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of
the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts
receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off
experience. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly.
Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed
individually for collectibility. Account balances are charged off against the
allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and potential for
recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet
exposure related to its customers.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
All
current assets are carried at their cost and current liabilities are recorded at
their contract amount, which approximates fair value because of their short term
nature. The carrying value of short-term financing arrangements and notes
receivable approximates fair value because interest rates over the relative term
of these instruments approximate current market interest rates.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful life of five or seven
years. Maintenance and repairs that do not improve efficiency or
extend economic life are charged to expense as incurred.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to
the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably
assured.
The
Company recognizes revenue when termination services have been performed. The
Company does not offer prepays for termination services. For the Company’s
radiation detection products which require an acceptance period during which the
customer may cancel their contact or purchase order without penalty, the Company
defers the revenue recognition until the end of that acceptance period. The
Company offers a one year warranty on its radiation detection products and
provides for estimated future warranty costs at the time revenue is
recognized.
The
Company has recognized revenue for purchased hardware (for resale) when the
products have been shipped and all of the conditions above have been
met. In the past these suppliers have offered a warranty of one year.
The Company generally warrants these same hardware products for one year after
sale and provides for estimated future warranty costs at the time revenue is
recognized. Consequently, our warranty liability is limited to the cost of the
logistics involved in accepting returns and shipping
replacements. No warranty cost or liability has been recorded
as of December 31, 2009 and no warranty expense for the years ended December 31,
2009 and 2008.
Research
and Development Costs
Research
and development expenses include costs directly attributable to the conduct of
research and development projects primarily related to the development of new
product design and improving the efficiency and capabilities of existing
products and processes. Such costs include services provided
primarily by outside contractors. All costs associated with research
and development are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill
Goodwill
with an indefinite life must be tested for impairment on an annual basis. The
Company performs this annual impairment test at fiscal year end for
goodwill.
The
Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount on
an annual basis to determine if there is potential goodwill impairment. If the
fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment
loss is recorded to the extent that the fair value of the goodwill within the
reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Fair values for goodwill is
determined based on discounted cash flows or market multiples as
appropriate.
The
Company’s goodwill represents the excess acquisition cost over the fair of the
tangible and identified intangible net assets of the Vidiation, Inc. acquired in
2008.
Vidiation,
Inc. had signed numerous reseller agreements, established relationships with key
corporations in the radiation detection industry and negotiated pilot programs
to test the Defentect technology at the time of the
acquisition. These were measurable outputs that Vidiation, Inc. had
achieved as a sales and marketing firm in the radiation technology industry at
the time of the acquisition. The combination of these outputs with
its policies, procedures, management and systems, combined to allow the
Vidiation, Inc. to meet the definition of a business and therefore was subject
to Business Combination accounting. As a result, after allocating the
purchase price to tangible and intangible assets, the difference was determined
to be Goodwill. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company
applied what it believes to be the most appropriate valuation methodology for
the reporting unit. Management determined that goodwill was not fully
recoverable as of December 31, 2009 since the projected revenue related to the
acquisition had not been achieved and future revenue sales contracts have not
been projected.
Income
Taxes
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the accounting
standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. This standard
provides detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement
and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in the financial
statements. Tax positions must meet a “more-likely-than-not” recognition
threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the
adoption and in subsequent periods. Upon adoption, the Company had no
unrecognized tax benefits. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company
recognized no adjustments for uncertain tax benefits.
The
Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax
positions in selling, general and administrative expenses. No interest and
penalties related to uncertain tax positions were accrued at December 31,
2009.
The
Company accounts for its income taxes using by recognizing deferred tax
liabilities and assets for expected future tax consequences of events that have
been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this
method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the
difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the
differences are expected to reverse.
Income
taxes are computed using the asset and liability method of accounting. Under the
asset and liability method, a deferred tax asset or liability is recognized for
estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and
carryforwards. The measurement of deferred income tax assets is adjusted by a
valuation allowance, if necessary, to recognize future tax benefits only to the
extent, based on available evidence; it is more likely than not such benefits
will be realized. The Company’s deferred tax assets were fully reserved at
December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
The tax
years 2006 through 2008 remain open to examination in the major taxing
jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The Company expects no material
changes to unrecognized tax positions within the next twelve
months.
Net
Loss per Share
Basic net
loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding. Warrants to purchase 650,000 and stock
options to purchase 1,205,000 shares of common stock are not included in diluted
net loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2009 because they would be
antidilutive. No potential dilutive securities were outstanding for the year
ended December 31, 2008.
Stock-Based
Compensation
We
recognize stock-based compensation expense net of an estimated forfeiture rate
and recognize compensation cost for only those shares expected to vest on a
straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.
The
Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the most appropriate
method for determining the estimated fair value for stock-based awards. The
Black-Scholes model requires the use of highly subjective and complex
assumptions which determine the fair value of stock-based awards, including the
option’s expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock. The
value of the portion of the post adoption award that is ultimately expected to
vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service (vesting) period
on a straight-line basis in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and the
expense has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forefeitures are estimated
at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual
forfeitures differ from those estimates.
In
connection with the appointment of Ambassador L. Paul Bremer, III to serve as a
member of the Company’s Board of Directors, effective October 10, 2008, the
Board has agreed to issue to Ambassador Bremer, or his designee, 125,000 shares
of our common stock quarterly over two years with acceleration of vesting when
authorized by the Board of Directors in acknowledgement of extraordinary
circumstances or success. As a result, unless accelerated, 125,000 shares will
be issued to Ambassador Bremer on each applicable vesting date (determined to be
December 31, March 31, June 30 and September 30). The issuance of
these shares of common stock will be exempt from registration requirements
pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Stockholders
equity
The
Company is currently authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of common stock, par
value $.001 per share and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
Defentect

Company incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 22, 2006 conducted a
share for share exchange of securities with Splinternet Communications, Inc. on
April 3, 2006 whereby 214,002 shares of the common stock, par value $0.001 per
share, of Splinternet Communications, Inc. were exchanged for 53,500,500 shares
of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Splinternet Holdings, Inc.
(the “Share Exchange”), as a result of which Splinternet Communications, Inc.
became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
On
November 6, 2007 two existing shareholders of the Company (Atheneum Capital and
The Mountain View Trust) exercised all of their warrants to purchase 3,214,500
shares of common stock. The board of directors agreed to modify the
warrant agreements to allow the signing of notes in lieu of payment in
cash. Each of the two shareholders signed a one year interest bearing
note totaling $77,188 in full payment of the exercise price. The
interest rate is 7% and interest only is paid quarterly. The
principal and all accrued but unpaid interest was due on November 6,
2008. In November 2008, Atheneum Capital paid its note in
full. The Mountain View Trust continues to pay the interest on the
note quarterly. Management is pursuing its options in collecting the
note. Management believes the note is fully recoverable.
In
December 2008 the Company issued a private placement for up to 5,000,000 of
common stock with warrants attached. The cost per share was $0.20 per
share. For every two shares of common stock sold, the company issues
the purchaser one warrant for common stock. The warrant life was two
years with a strike price of $0.40 per share. The Company then sold
312,500 common shares and 156,250 two year warrants with a strike price of $0.40
per common share in connection with the private placement.
In April,
2009 the Company issued a private placement for up to 5,000,000 of common stock
with warrants attached. The cost per share was $0.125 per share. For every share
of common stock sold, the Company issued the purchaser one warrant for common
stock. The warrant life is two years with a strike price of $0.10 per
shares. In April, 2009 the Company sold 560,000 common shares and
560,000 two-year warrants with a strike price of $0.10 per share. In August 2009
the Company sold 160,000 common shares and 160,000 two-year warrants with a
strike price of $01.00 per share.
The
Company has assessed whether the warrants should be classified as either a
liability or equity and has determined them to be equity.
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
The
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued authoritative guidance on
the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") and the hierarchy of
generally accepted accounting principles, codified in ASC 105, Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles. The codification was effective for interim or
annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, and impacted the Company's
financial statement disclosures beginning with the year ending December 31, 2009
as all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be
referenced in accordance with the Codification.
The FASB
has issued authoritative guidance on Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements. The new codification code is ASC 810, Consolidation. This
statement changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented when
non-controlling interests are present. It requires consolidated net income to be
reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and
the non-controlling interest. The implementation of this pronouncement did not
have a significant impact on the financial statements of the
Company.
The FASB
has issued authoritative guidance on Business Combinations. The new codification
code is ASC 805, Business Combinations. This statement retains the fundamental
requirements that the acquisition method of accounting be used, and applies to
all business entities, including mutual entities that previously used the
pooling of interest method of accounting for some business combinations. The
implementation of this pronouncement did not have a significant impact on the
financial statements the Company.
The FASB
has issued authoritative guidance on subsequent events, which
was primarily codified into Topic 855, Subsequent Events, in the ASC.
The guidance established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of
events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements
are issued or are available to be issued. The adoption of ASC 855 did not have a
material effect on the Company's financial statements and related
disclosures.
Reclassifications
Certain
amounts from 2008 may have been reclassified to conform to the 2009
presentation.

3. ACQUISITION
On April
30, 2008, the Company acquired Vidiation, Inc. pursuant to which at closing
Splinternet Merger Sub I, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company formed
in 2008 for the purpose of such transaction) merged into Vidiation, Inc., as a
result of which Vidiation, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
The Company issued an aggregate of 4,788,179 shares of common stock of the
Company to the shareholders of Vidiation, Inc. in exchange for the cancellation
of the then outstanding shares of common stock of Vidiation, Inc. As a result,
the former shareholders of Vidiation, Inc. owned 7.8% of the total issued and
outstanding shares of common stock of the Company as of the date of
acquisition.
Vidiation,
Inc. is a radiation detection sales and marketing company incorporated in the
State of Delaware on December 10, 2007, which acquired certain assets from
Vidiation LLC. Vidiation LLC was a radiation detection technology
marketing company which had extensive sales and marketing experience in the
surveillance and security market space and was actively engaged in that
space. The success Vidiation, Inc. had made was desired by the Company and
precipitated the above-referenced transaction.
The costs
of the acquisition were allocated on the basis of the estimated fair values of
the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The acquisition was accounted for
using the purchase method whereby intangible assets identified in “business
combinations” connection with the acquisition.
The stock
portion of the acquisition consists of 4,788,179 shares at a price per share of
$.545, which was the average closing price of a share of the Company common
stock for the average of the 5 consecutive trading days before and after the
public announcement by the Company of the contemplated purchase of Vidiation,
Inc.
The
following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price based on the
preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed
at the date of acquisition:

The
unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not necessarily
represent what would have occurred if the acquisition had taken place on the
dates presented and is not necessarily representative of the Company’s future
consolidated results.
We
account for goodwill in accordance with the accounting guidance which requires
that goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite lives not be
amortized but instead be tested at least annually for impairment, or more
frequently when events or a change in circumstances indicate that the asset
might be impaired. A two-step test is used to identify the potential
impairment and to measure the amount of impairment, if any. The first
step is to compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount,
including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its
carrying amount, goodwill is considered not impaired, otherwise goodwill is
impaired and the loss is measured by performing step two. Under step
two, the impairment loss is measured by comparing the implied fair value of the
reporting unit with the carrying amount of goodwill. At December 31, 2009,
management determined that the entire goodwill balance of $2,831,790 was
impaired since the projected revenue related to the acquisition had not been
achieved and future sales revenue contracts not being projected and was
therefore written off to operations.

Realization
of deferred tax assets, including those related to net operating loss
carryforwards, are dependent upon future earnings, if any, of which the timing
and amount are uncertain. Accordingly, the net deferred tax assets have been
fully offset by a valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2009 and
2008. Based upon the Company’s current operating results, management
has concluded that it is not more likely than not that such assets will be
realized.

8. STOCK OPTION PLAN
2008
Stock Option Plan
On April
22, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the Company’s. 2008
Stock Incentive Plan (the “2008 Stock Plan”). Under the 2008 Stock Plan,
officers, other employees and directors of, and consultants to, the Company or
its subsidiaries may be awarded stock options, stock appreciation rights and
other stock awards. The number of shares subject to the 2008 Stock Plan may not
exceed 6,000,000 shares in total. Adoption of the 2008 Stock Plan is subject to
the approval by the Company’s shareholders within twelve months of the adoption
by the Board of Directors. The 2008 Stock Plan provides for the grant of (i)
options that are intended to qualify as incentive stock options ("Incentive
Stock Options") within the meaning of Section 422 or 424 of the Internal Revenue
Code to key employees and (ii) options not so intended to qualify ("Nonqualified
Stock Options") to officers, employees of or consultants to the Company or any
non employee director. On April 22 and 30, 2008, the Board of Directors granted
1,265,000 nonqualified stock options to employees and consultants. The Stock
Option Plan is administered by a committee of the Board of Directors (or if
there is no committee, the Board of Directors itself). The committee shall
determine the terms of the options granted, including the exercise price, the
number of shares subject to the option and the terms and conditions of
exercise. During the three months ended December 31, 2008, 360,000
stock options were forfeited when the individuals stopped working for the
Company. During year ended December 31, 2009, the Board granted
2,135,537 shares and 300,000 options to employees and consultants to the
Company.
The
exercise price of Incentive Stock Options granted under the plan must be at
least equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant. The
maximum term for each Incentive Stock Option granted is five years. Options
shall be exercisable at such times and in such installments as the committee
shall provide in the terms of each individual option. The maximum number of
shares for which options may be granted to any individual in any fiscal year is
2,000,000. The Stock Option Plan also provides for the granting of stock
appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards,
performance awards, qualified performance awards and stock awards. The Board of
Directors has not granted any of these other types of awards.
For the
year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 the share-based compensation expense was
approximately $189,252 and $91,259, respectively.
The
Company recognizes stock-based compensation costs on a straight-line basis over
the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting
term.

As of
December 31, 2009, there was approximately $182,000 of unrecognized compensation
cost related to non-vested stock option awards, which is expected to be
recognized over a remaining weighted-average vesting period of
1.33 years.
The fair
value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was
approximately $52,363 and $1,031,000.
The fair
value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black
Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions
used for grants during 2008: risk-free interest rate of 2.4% and 2.96% based on
the U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant; expected dividend
yields of 0 percent as the Company has not, and does not intend to, declare
dividends; and expected lives of 5 years based upon the length of the
grant. The expected volatility used was 83% based on an average of volatility
calculations from several public companies in the same industry. Options have
vesting periods of 3 years with one third vesting on each anniversary date and
they have contractual lives of 5 years.
The fair
value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black
Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions
used for the grant during 2009: risk-free interest rate of 2.0% based on the
U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant; expected dividend yields of
0 percent as the Company has not, and does not intend to, declare
dividends; and expected lives of 5 years based upon the length of the
grant. The expected volatility used was 114% based on an average of volatility
calculations from the Company and several public companies in the same
industry. The options were fully vested when granted.
The
Company measures the fair value of the equity instruments issued to
non-employees using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the
earlier of the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to
earn the equity instruments is reached, or the date at which the counterparty’s
performance is complete.
The
Company issued under the 2008 Stock Plan 2,135,537 common shares to consultants
and employees during the year at various prices for the performance of services
to the Company. The value of the shares issued were expensed at the
time of issuance. In addition the Company issued outside of the Plan
3,563,824 shares at various process during the year and 650,000 warrants
(400,000 at $0.10 that expire November 23, 2011 and 250,000 at $0.40 that expire
June 10, 2011) to employees and consultants outside. The
Company recorded share based compensation expense of $499,827 for the year ended
December 31, 2009 related to these issuances. Of the shares issued 949,177 were
for settlements of accrued compensation from 2008. The fair value of
each warrant grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes
option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for
grants during 2009: risk-free interest rate of 2.2% and 2.2% based on the
U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant; expected dividend yields of
0 percent as the Company has not, and does not intend to, declare
dividends; and expected lives of 2 years based upon the length of the
grant. The expected volatility used was 142% and 148% based on an average of
volatility of the Company’s stock. These warrants have no vesting
period.

Proceedings
On April

Company, Vidiation, Inc., Vidiation, LLC, Frank O’Connor and James C. Ackerly in
the United States District Court, District of Connecticut pertaining to the
purchase by Idler of shares of Vidiation, LLC for $100,000 in
2007. Such action alleges various securities law violations, breach
of contract, rescission, fraud and unjust enrichment. We
intend to vigorously defend this matter. However, we
cannot predict or estimate the timing or ultimate outcome of this
matter.

Item
9A (T). Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The
Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that the
information the Company must disclose in its filings with the SEC is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis. The Company’s
management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief
Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness
of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended)
as of December 31, 2009. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, the
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the
material weakness noted below.
Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The
Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate
system of internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over
financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of
records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of
the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the
company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial
reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can
provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement
preparation and presentation. Further, because of changes in conditions,
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over
time.
Management
of the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness, as of December 31,
2009, of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the
Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO Framework”). Based on its
evaluation under the COSO Framework, management has concluded that the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December
31, 2009.
Identification
of a Material Weakness
A
material weakness is a significant deficiency, or a combination of significant
deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material
misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
or detected.
At the
end of fiscal year 2009, we decided to change the focus of our business
activities as described elsewhere in this document. As a result, the
goodwill associated with the acquisition of Vidiation, Inc. in 2008 was
impaired. Due to an oversight in our policies and procedures for the review of
the testing of goodwill impairment, we temporarily overlooked important issues
related to the testing of goodwill impairment. Although this oversight was
discovered before filing of any reports, it did create a reasonable possibility
that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements might
not be prevented or detected on a timely basis in the future. Accordingly, we
determined that this control deficiency constituted a material
weakness.
During
the preparation of our annual report on Form 10-K, the underlying circumstances
of this material weakness were fully communicated to and considered by our
independent registered public accounting firm to ensure that the appropriate
accounting treatment was recorded in the financial statements included in this
Form 10-K.
We have
developed the following remediation plan to address this material weakness and
we are proceeding expeditiously with measures to enhance our internal control
over financial reporting:
·
|
Our
Board of Directors will monitor the accounting policies adopted by the
company and will direct additional measures as deemed
appropriate.
|
Accordingly,
our management believes that the accounting included in this Form 10-K fairly
presents in all material respects our financial position, results of operations
and cash flows for the periods presented.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent
registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent
registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that
permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual
report.

Set forth
below are brief accounts of the business experience during the past five years
of each director and executive officer of the Company and each significant
employee of the Company.
James C. Ackerly
has been
President, Secretary, Treasurer and a Director of the Company since its
inception in January 2000. Since 1995, Mr. Ackerly has provided technology
consulting and design services to AMR Corp., The Sabre Group, AT&T and
others while working as an independent consultant. He currently serves on the
board of directors of Cronus Technologies, Inc. Mr. Ackerly earned an A.B. in
Physics from Williams College and an M.B.A. from Harvard Graduate School of
Business Administration.
Ambassador L. Paul Bremer
has
been a Director and Chairman of the Board of the Company since October 2008.
Recognized as one of the world’s leading experts on crisis management,
counterterrorism and homeland security, Ambassador Bremer has a unique blend of
experience in government and the private sector. His service as an American
diplomat spanned eight Presidents. During that time, he was Special Assistant or
Executive Assistant to six Secretaries of State. His overseas assignments
included service at the Embassies in Afghanistan, Malawi and Norway. President
Reagan named him as Ambassador to the Netherlands in 1983 where he served for
three years. In May 2003, President Bush appointed Ambassador Bremer
Presidential Envoy to Iraq where he remained until June
2004. Ambassador Bremer’s mission to Iraq marked his return to
government after a 14 year career in business. Prior to his assignment to Iraq,
Ambassador Bremer had been Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Marsh Crisis
Consulting Company. From 1989 to 200, he was Managing Director of Kissinger
Associates, a strategic consulting firm headed by former Secretary of State,
Henry Kissinger. During this period, Ambassador Bremer served as a director of a
number of American and international corporations and on the Board of several
not-for-profit organizations. In September 1999, the Speaker of the House of
Representatives appointed him Chairman of the bipartisan National Commission on
Terrorism. In June 2002, President Bush appointed Ambassador Bremer to the
President’s Homeland Security Advisory Council.
John T. Grippo
has served as
Chief Financial Officer of the Company since 2006. Mr. Grippo has been the
president of his own financial management practice, John Grippo, Inc. since
1999. His firm provides services as a Chief Financial Officer to small to
mid-sized public and private companies and also provides other related
accounting and consulting services. Prior to that, Mr. Grippo served for
ten years as a full time Chief Financial Officer to companies in housewares,
electric vehicles and financial services industries. He worked for five
years as an auditor with Arthur Andersen, LLP, followed by seven years in
various accounting positions in the financial services industry.
Edmund L. Resor
has been a
Vice President and a Director of the Company since January 2000. Since 1990, Mr.
Resor has been the Principal of Edmund Resor & Associates, a consulting
business which provides advice in establishing information technology businesses
in developing countries. Since 2000, Mr. Resor has also been Senior Consultant
and a Principal of NextGen Strategies, a global strategy consulting firm
specializing in converging telecommunications, Internet and computer markets. In
addition, since 1992, he has been Vice President of International Operations and
a founding partner of Somali Telecom Group, which has built a nationwide rural
telephone service in Somalia. Mr. Resor earned a B.A. in Anthropology from Yale
University and a Master’s Degree in Public and Private Management from the Yale
School of Management.
None of
the directors and officers is related to any other director or officer of the
Company.
No
officer or director has, during the past five years, been involved in (a) any
bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a
general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or
within two years prior to that time, (b) any conviction in a criminal proceeding
or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations
and other minor offenses), (c) any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently
reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction,
permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting
his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities or (d)
a finding by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the
Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a
federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been
reversed, suspended, or vacated.
Due to
the early stage nature of our business, we do not have an audit committee, nor
have our board of directors deemed it necessary to have an audit committee
financial expert. Insofar that we are not a listed security, we are not required
to have an audit committee. Within the next 12 months, however, we
expect to have several committees in place, including a compensation, budget and
audit committee. At such time, we intend to have a member of the
Board of Directors that meets the qualifications for an audit committee
financial expert.
Directors
are elected to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until
their successors have been elected and have qualified. Officers are
appointed to serve until the meeting of the Board of Directors following the
next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors have been elected
and qualified.
Section
16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Insofar
that we do not have a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of
the Exchange Act, our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more
than ten percent of the Company’s Common Stock, are not required to file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership and reports
of changes of ownership of Common Stock of the Company.
Code
of Ethics
The Board
of Directors has adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to the Company’s principal
executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or
controller, or persons performing similar functions, which is designed to
promote honest and ethical conduct; full, fair, accurate, timely and
understandable disclosure; and compliance with applicable laws, rules and
regulations. A copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided to
any person without charge upon written request to the Company at its executive
offices, 535 Connecticut Avenue, 2
nd
floor,
Norwalk, Connecticut 06854.

Director
Compensation
Our
directors do not receive fixed compensation for their services as
directors. Directors are reimbursed for their reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their duties.
However,
in connection with the appointment of Ambassador L. Paul Bremer, III to serve as
a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, effective October 10, 2008, the
Board has agreed to issue to Ambassador Bremer, or his designee, 1,000,000
shares of our common stock of which 125,000 shares will vest quarterly over two
years with acceleration of vesting when authorized by the Board of Directors in
acknowledgement of extraordinary circumstances or success. As a result, unless
accelerated, 125,000 shares will be issued to Ambassador Bremer quarterly and
the Company will record a non-cash stock compensation expense for the fair value
of shares issued. Through December 31, 2009, 625,000 shares of common stock have
been issued to Ambassador Bremer pursuant to these arrangements, 500,000 of
which were issued in 2009.
The
following table provides certain summary information concerning the compensation
paid to non-employee directors during fiscal 2009. All compensation
paid to Mr. Ackerly is set forth in the Summary Compensation Table.

13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director
Independence.
Other
than the compensation paid to Mr. Ackerly as described above under “Executive
Compensation” and otherwise as described below, since January 1, 2009, there has
not been, nor is there currently proposed, any transaction or series of similar
transactions to which we were or will be a party: (i) in which the amount
involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our
total assets at year-end for the last three completed fiscal years; and (ii) in
which any director, executive officer, shareholder who beneficially owns 5% or
more of our common stock or any member of their immediate family had or will
have a direct or indirect material interest.
During
the year ended December 31, 2009, James C. Ackerly made loans to the Company in
the aggregate principal amount of $618,000. The loans are demand
loans that are secured by all of the assets of the Company and accrue interest
at 8%.
Subsequent
to the 2009 year end and through the date of this report, Mr. Ackerly has made
additional loans to the Company in the aggregate principal amount of
$25,000. Such loans are demand loans accruing interest at 8% and are
secured as described above.
Director
Independence
Our board
of directors currently consists of three members. They are James C.
Ackerly, Ambassador L. Paul Bremer and Edmund L. Resor. Mr. Ackerly
is the Company’s President, Secretary and Treasurer, Ambassador Bremer is the
Company’s Chairman of the Board and Mr. Resor is a Vice
President. None of our directors are independent
directors. We have determined their independence using the general
independence criteria set forth in the Nasdaq
Marketplace Rules.

Principal
Accountant Fees and Services.
The firm
of McGladrey & Pullen (“M&P”) acts as our independent registered
public accounting firm. As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form
8-K filed on November 15, 2007, certain of the partners of Goldstein Golub
Kessler LLP (“GGK”) became partners of M&P. As a result, GGK resigned as
auditors of the Company effective November 15, 2007, and M&P was appointed
as our independent registered public accounting firm in connection with the
Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2007. The following is a summary of fees paid to our
independent registered public accounting firm for services
rendered.
Audit
Fees
Audit
fees billed to the Company by M&P for its audit of the Company’s financial
statements included in this Form 10-K, for its review of the financial
statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and its
review of financial statement included in the Company’s filing on Form 8-K/A
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for 2009 and 2008 totaled
$38,500 and $63,000, respectively.
Audit-Related
There
were no audit- related fees billed to the Company by M&P for the years ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008.
Tax
Fees
There
were no tax fees billed to the Company by M&P for its tax returns for the
years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
Other
No other
fees were billed to the Company by M&P for all other non-audit or tax
services rendered to the Company for the years ended December 31, 2009 and
2008.
Audit
Committee Pre-Approval Policies
As of
this filing date, the Company has no Audit Committee. Therefore it
