IT&E INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.                                      DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

IT&E International Group, Inc. was organized under the name Clinical Trials Assistance Corporation (“Clinical Trials”) by the filing of Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on April 22, 2002. On June 14, 2004, Clinical Trials acquired IT&E International Corporation and amended its Articles of Incorporation to change the corporate name from Clinical Trials to IT&E International Group. On March 2, 2006, with the written consent of holders of the majority of our shares of common stock, we reincorporated into Delaware and filed a Certificate of Incorporation to change our corporate name to IT&E International Group, Inc. IT&E International Group, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries are referred to throughout this report as “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company.”

 

We are a life sciences organization focused on providing our clients with services and solutions in the drug development process, clinical research and regulatory compliance. We serve a variety of clients, including those in private industry, public institutions, research facilities and the government. In November 2005, we acquired the assets of Millennix Inc. (“Millennix”), a contract research organization (“CRO”) that provides comprehensive clinical research services of Phase I through Phase IV clinical trials. Our Millennix division also assists its clients with strategic and regulatory planning, as well as protocol development, investigator qualification and recruitment, study implementation and management, and data management. By focusing on specialized practice areas in regulatory compliance, clinical research, and international development of global health and advanced technology research, we are able to offer solutions with one common goal in mind: to improve the human condition by delivering solutions to the life sciences community.

 

2.                                      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the latest Form 10-KSB for IT&E International Group, Inc. These financial statements are unaudited but reflect all adjustments that, in our opinion, are necessary to fairly present our financial position and results of operations. All adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature unless otherwise noted. These financial statements, including the notes, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and in accordance with the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

 

3.                                      NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

 

The Company adopted the provisions of, and accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with, SFAS No. 123 ( R ), “Share-Based Payment,” and related pronouncements (“SFAS 123(R)”), during the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company elected the modified-prospective method, under which prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors based on the fair value of the award using an option-pricing model and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. SFAS 123 (R) supersedes the Company’s previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” (“APB 25”) for periods beginning in fiscal year 2006. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) providing supplemental implementation guidance for SFAS 123 (R). The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123 (R).As a result of the Company’s adoption of SFAS 123 (R), the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of approximately $110,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. No stock-based compensation expense was recorded nor was it calculated on a pro-forma basis for the three months ended March 31, 2005 as the stock option plan was not adopted by the Company until April 29, 2005.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123 (R), the Company accounted for stock-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB 25 as allowed under  SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). Under the intrinsic value method, no stock-based compensation expense for employee stock options had been recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations because the exercise price of its stock options granted to employees generally equaled the fair market value of the underlying stock at the time of grant.

 

Stock-based compensation expense recognized during a period is based on the value of the portion of stock-based awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2006, included compensation expense for stock-based awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of December 31, 2005, based on the fair value on the grant date estimated in accordance with the pro forma provisions of SFAS 123, and compensation with the provisions of SFAS 123 (R).Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest; it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures. Prior to fiscal 2006, the Company accounted for forfeitures as they occurred for the purposes of pro forma information under SFAS 123.

 

The Company currently uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of the stock options granted under the employee stock option plan. The Company estimates the expected term of options granted (3.17 years) by taking the average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the option, as illustrated in SAB 107. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock (85%) by using its historical volatility that the Company believes is the best representative of its future volatility in accordance with SAB 107. The Company bases its risk-free interest rate that it uses in its option-pricing models (4.3%) on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with remaining terms similar  to the expected term on its equity awards. The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future and therefore used an expected dividend yield of zero in its option-pricing mode. The options granted have a contractual term of ten years.

6.                                      STOCK OPTION PLAN

 

On April 29, 2005, we adopted the “2005 Equity Incentive Plan” (the “Plan”) to provide a means by which we can retain and maximize the services of employees, directors and consultants. An aggregate of 7,500,000 shares of our common stock were initially reserved for issuance pursuant to awards from the Plan. Options granted under the Plan generally expire no later than ten years from the date of grant (five years for a 10% stockholder). Options generally vest over a period of four years. The Plan was approved by our shareholders on September 26, 2005. On December 1, 2005, our stockholders approved an amendment to the Plan to increase the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan to 25,000,000. On April 25, 2006, our stockholders approved an amendment to the Plan to increase the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan to 50,000,000.

 

The exercise price of incentive stock options must be equal to at least the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, and the exercise price of non-statutory stock options may be no less than 85% of the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of any option granted to a 10% stockholder may not be less than 110% of the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

 

The stock option activity is summarized below:

Exercise prices of outstanding options at March 31, 2006 ranged from approximately $0.16 to $0.25 per share. The weighted-average remaining contractual life of the options outstanding at March 31, 2006 was 9.56 years.

 

At March 31, 2006, 6,584,211 shares remained available for future issuance or grant under the Plan.

 

7.                                      TAXES ON INCOME

 

Inasmuch as the Company had losses in the quarter ended March 31, 2006, there was no accrual of income taxes as the Company has established a full valuation allowance against any future benefit for these losses.

On February 7, 2006, David Sinutko filed the action titled Sinutko v. IT&E International, Case No. 861011 in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Diego, Central Division against us. Mr. Sinutko alleges he owns and operates POI, Inc., (collectively, “Sinutko”), and that under a letter agreement POI had with us, Sinutko is owed in excess of $550,000 (plus attorneys fees and costs) from us as a commission for alleged services provided to us related to our recent private placement (the “Private Placement”) of senior secured convertible promissory notes (each a “Senior Note”). We believe Sinutko’s claims are without merit and subject to defenses, and we intend to vigorously defend ourselves; however, we do not know if we will ultimately prevail or if the outcome will harm our business, financial condition, or results of operation.

 

We are involved in various other legal actions arising in the normal course of business. We believe that the outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operation.

 

Two payments of $700,000 each may become payable contingent on the achievement of certain earnout milestones as set forth in the agreement for the purchase of substantially all of the assets of Millennix on November 9, 2005.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

The information discussed below is derived from the Financial Statements included in this Form 10-QSB for the three months ended March 31, 2006, and should be read in conjunction therewith. Our results of operations for a particular quarter may not be indicative of results expected during subsequent quarters or for the entire year.

 

Company Overview

 

We are a life sciences service organization focused on providing our clients with project-based consulting services in the areas of FDA regulatory compliance, data management, biometrics and clinical validation throughout the clinical trial lifecycle. Our services range from recruitment of patients for clinical trials and providing skilled personnel to assist with managing clinical trials, to providing enterprise software solutions and training to manage data to ensure FDA compliance. We also provide validation services for new pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities. We serve a variety of clients, including those in the private industry, public institutions, research facilities and the government. We are managed in two reportable segments.

 

We are in the process of seeking other businesses to acquire so that we can expand our operations. For example, as noted below, in November 2005, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Millennix Inc. (“Millennix”), a contract research organization (“CRO”) based in the State of New York. We believe the CRO industry offers many opportunities to integrate our regulatory compliance and validation expertise into clients that use outsourced services performed by CRO’s. We view the opportunity to build our business through the acquisition of established CRO’s will allow us to more efficiently  provide a multitude of services than would be possible if we were to build such services internally. We will continue to move ahead on the execution of our strategic plan to enable us to obtain and maintain a strong position within the CRO industry.

 

These acquisitions could result in us needing to incur additional debt or sell or issue additional equity to fund the transactions. Analysis of new business opportunities and evaluation of new business strategies will be undertaken by or under the supervision of our Board of Directors. In analyzing prospective acquisition opportunities, management will consider, to the extent applicable, the available technical, financial and managerial resources of any given business venture. We will also consider the nature of present and expected competition; potential advances in research and development or exploration; the potential for growth and expansion; the likelihood of sustaining a profit within given time frames; the perceived public recognition or acceptance of products, services, trade or service marks; name identification; and other relevant factors.

 

We will analyze all relevant factors and make a determination based on a composite of available information, without reliance on any single factor. The period within which we will decide to participate in a given business venture cannot be predicted and will depend on certain factors, including the time involved in identifying businesses, the time required for us to complete our analysis of such businesses, the time required to raise the funds required for the transaction, if necessary, the time required to prepare appropriate documentation and other circumstances.

 

Our industry continues to be dependent on the research and development efforts of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies as major clients, and we believe this dependence will continue. Our client list includes many of the top-tier pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, our contracts with Boston Scientific, AmGen, Genetech and Schering-Plough resulted in approximately 27.0%, 7.2%, 9.7% and 12.5% of our service revenues, respectively. The loss of business from any of our major clients could have a material adverse effect on us.

 

Though the overall outlook for our continued financial growth remains positive, our results of operations are subject to volatility due to a variety of factors. The cancellation or delay of contracts and cost overruns could have short-term adverse affects on the financial statements. Fluctuations in the ability to maintain large client contracts or to enter into new contracts could hinder our long-term growth. In addition, our aggregate backlog, consisting of signed contracts and letters of intent, is not necessarily a meaningful indicator of future results. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that we will be able to realize the service revenues included in our backlog.

The Reincorporation and Conversion of the Senior Secured Promissory Notes into Series D Convertible Preferred Stock

 

On March 2, 2006, we effected our reincorporation from the State of Nevada into the State of Delaware (the “Reincorporation”). The Reincorporation was accomplished as follows: (i) we formed a new Delaware corporation, which was a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours (“IT&E Delaware”), (ii) we merged with and into IT&E Delaware pursuant to a Reincorporation agreement, and (iii) following the merger, IT&E Delaware was the surviving and successor entity and IT&E Delaware’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws became our governing documents. Pursuant to IT&E Delaware’s certificate of incorporation, we now have 650,000,000 shares of authorized common stock and 10,000,000 shares of authorized preferred stock, with rights, preferences and privileges as may be determined by our Board of Directors from time to time. Pursuant to the Reincorporation agreement, each outstanding share of our common stock was automatically converted into one (1) share of common stock of IT&E Delaware. Effective upon the Reincorporation, our name changed from “IT&E International Group” to “IT&E International Group, Inc.”

 

In addition, in connection with the Reincorporation, we filed a Certificate of Designations thereby duly authorizing and creating our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, at which time the Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes we issued to certain investors in a private placement in November 2005 were automatically converted into 11,500 shares of such Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2006 and 2005

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2006, we generated service revenues of $4,638,976, as compared to $4,446,580 for the three months ended March 31, 2005, an increase of 4.1%. Included in the quarterly revenue amount was $1,271,015 earned from our recently acquired CRO business. Excluding the increase related to the acquisition of the new CRO business, revenue decreased 18.9%. In the fourth quarter of 2005, several of our larger clients did not renew our services for additional work which we have yet to replace which will result in a continued reduction in our revenues. Though we anticipate our contract service work returning to levels achieved in 2005, there is no assurance when we will be able to obtain such new contracts, if ever. We also incur out-of-pocket costs in excess of contract amounts. These out-of-pocket costs are generally reimbursable by our clients. We include out-of-pocket costs as reimbursement revenues and reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses in the statements of operations. The timing of these costs and revenues vary throughout the year depending on the projects being serviced. Reimbursement revenue and out-of-pocket expenses were approximately $319,752 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and $98,346 for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

 

Cost of revenues are primarily personnel-related and consists of compensation, related payroll taxes and fringe benefits for our project-related staff, as well as for externally contracted personnel. The cost of revenues, including out-of-pocket costs for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $3,822,652, including $562,500 attributable to Millennix, as compared to $3,112,957 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Gross profit margins were 22.9% including Millennix and 11.6% excluding Millennix for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 31.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2005. Fluctuations in client requests for services impact our profit margins. Though the majority of our contractors are either hourly or outside contractors that are used for certain short-term projects, we have a group of contractors that we have chosen to make full-time employees due to their technical expertise and their ability to manage projects. When these contractors are not fully utilized by our clients due to client fluctuations, which is standard in the industry, their costs directly impact our profit margins since costs are being incurred without corresponding revenue.

 

Late in the fourth quarter of 2005, we began to encounter larger than normal client fluctuations and our service renewals declined and have continued to decline into the first quarter of 2006. This trend has caused management to re-evaluate how we are staffing the current work, as well to determine how to utilize our full-time contractors that cannot be deployed at a client.

 

General and administrative expenses consist of compensation, related payroll taxes and fringe benefits for our administrative staff, outside professional costs, facility costs and other costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, general and administrative expenses were $1,462,957 compared to $814,189 for the same period in 2005. The increase in general and administrative expenses was due primarily to the increased costs associated with being a

public company, including legal and accounting fees, public relations costs and additional insurance costs; costs associated with the search for acquisition targets and funding sources, costs associated with outsourcing information technology, human resource, financial advisory services and the acquisition of Millennix. Due to the increase in the number of contracts being serviced by our Millennix division, in February 2006 we entered into a new lease that will provide for the additional space required to accommodate the increase in personnel at our Millennix division. The monthly rent for space occupied by our Millennix division will more than double due to the substantially increased square footage being leased; however, due to lease concessions, the net difference in cash outflow for 2006 as compared to the current lease will not be material. Payments under this lease will be substantially more in future years. The lease is effective May 1, 2006.

 

Sales and marketing expenses consist of compensation, related payroll taxes and fringe benefits for sales and marketing personnel, along with their out-of-pocket costs, as well other costs such as advertising and trade shows. Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2006 were $345,777 as compared to $230,682 for the same period in 2005. The increase was due primarily to the addition of Millennix’s sales and marketing expenses.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $110,334 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 as compared to $17,148 for the three months ended March 31, 2005. This increase was primarily due to  the amortization of the intangible assets acquired with Millennix.

 

Officer compensation increased to $257,770 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 as compared to $185,462 for the same period in 2005. This increase was primarily due to the addition of an officer of Millennix.

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

We earned $64,041 of interest income in the three months ended March 31, 2006 from our interest bearing investments. We did not earn any interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2005.

 

Interest expense decreased to $9,389 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $50,721 for the same period in 2005. This decrease is mainly due to the repayment of the promissory note held by Laurus Master Fund Ltd. in November 2005. We expect interest expense to decrease in 2006, as the only material debts outstanding are the notes payable to employees that were assumed as a part of the Millennix asset acquisition.

 

We had no loan fee amortization in the first quarter of 2006 as compared to loan amortization costs of $72,281 for the same period in 2005 due to the payment of the promissory note held Laurus Master Fund Ltd. in November 2005.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At March 31, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of $6,655,127, an increase of $5,830,823 from the $824,304 balance at March 31, 2005. In addition, at March 31, 2006, we had positive working capital of $6,042,103 as compared to $849,109 in working capital at March 31, 2005. The increase is primarily due to the sale of $11,500,000 in senior secured convertible promissory notes in November 2005. Such notes were subsequently converted into 11,500 shares of our Series D Preferred Stock.

 

ComVest Investment Partners II LLC (“ComVest”) in the connection with the private placement of our senior secured convertible promissory notes and warrants to purchase our common stock, acquired a right to purchase additional shares of our Series D Preferred Stock at a purchase price of up to $5,000,000 and warrants to purchase up to an additional 35,714,275 shares of common stock that expired on May 9, 2006 (the “ComVest Option”). On May 8, 2006, the expiration of ComVest Option was extended and now expires on November 9, 2006. In exchange for such extension of the expiration date, the number of warrants to purchase our common stock that ComVest is entitled to acquire pursuant to the ComVest Option was reduced to up to 32,149,829 shares.

 

We intend to use our cash in 2006 for our general working capital needs, improvements to our infrastructure and computer systems as we prepare for our growth, and to continue our acquisition strategy. Because the level of service revenue in the first quarter of 2006 was less than our service revenue earned in 2005, we used additional cash for general working capital needs, payment of on-going transaction costs associated with the private placement of our stock in November 2005 as well as an initial deposit related to the new Millennix division lease of $137,000. Although we anticipate our services revenue increasing in future periods, there can be no assurance that such increases will occur or that such additional revenues will be sustained or sufficient to fund our operations. Management is actively monitoring costs so as to minimize the impact on cash and to allow us to retain a majority of our cash to fund acquisitions and to invest in capital projects that will allow us to manage the growth that is expected to result from our acquisition strategy.

 

10



 

We have identified a number of capital projects that are planned to be completed during 2006. We are currently evaluating and plan to implement an integrated time and project tracking accounting system. This system will provide management with much improved tools to follow the progress of projects, assist with the utilization of staff, and improve our capability to track costs in order to more accurately submit our client proposals and improve profit margins. The cost of purchasing and implementing this system is being determined. We anticipate that the total cost will be no greater than $250,000.

 

Following the relocation of the Millennix division operations, we intend to upgrade the Millennix division computer system and to purchase various other furniture and fixtures related to the new facility, at a total cost not to exceed $200,000. We intend to finance as much of these purchases as possible, depending on the terms and conditions offered.

 

As we search for additional acquisition opportunities to enhance the services we provide, we will be utilizing both our cash and our stock as a currency in order to structure the acquisitions. There is no way of knowing at this time how any such transaction will evolve. Depending on the opportunity, we may seek to obtain other debt or equity financing in order to grow and increase the value of our business.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

Revenue Recognition, Accounts Receivable, and Unbilled Receivables

 

Revenues are derived primarily from FDA validation and compliance outsourcing services, consulting, and systems integration, though with our acquisition of the assets of Millennix in November, we also began earning revenues from providing clinical research services. Revenues are primarily recognized on a time-and-materials or percentage-of-completion basis. Before revenues are recognized, the following four criteria must be met: (a) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (b) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (c) the fee is fixed and determinable; and (d) collectibility is reasonably assured. We determine if the fee is fixed and determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured based on our judgment regarding the nature of the fee charged for services rendered and products delivered and the collectibility of those fees. Arrangements range in length from less than one year to several years.

 

Revenues from time-and-materials arrangements are generally recognized based upon contracted hourly billing rates as the work progresses. Revenues from fixed fee arrangements are generally recognized on a rate per hour or percentage-of-completion basis. Revenues recognized on fixed price consulting contracts are subject to revisions as the contract progresses to completion. If we do not accurately estimate the resources required or the scope of the work to be performed, do not complete our projects within the planned periods of time, or do not satisfy our obligations under the contracts, then profit may be significantly and negatively affected or losses may need to be recognized. Revisions in our contract estimates are reflected in the period in which the determination is made that facts and circumstances dictate a change of estimate. Provisions for estimated losses on individual contracts are made in the period in which the loss first becomes known.

 

IT&E International’s contracts are primarily performed on a time and materials basis, while the Millennix contracts are primarily fixed fee contracts.

 

We comply with EITF 00 21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” which addresses how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services, and/or rights to use assets. Revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables are divided into separate units of accounting if the deliverables in the arrangement meet the following criteria: (1) the delivered item has value to the client on a stand-alone basis; (2) there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of undelivered items; and (3) delivery of any undelivered item is probable. Arrangement consideration is allocated among the separate units of accounting based on their relative fair values, with the amount allocated to the delivered item being limited to the amount that is not contingent on the delivery of additional items or meeting other specified performance conditions. During 2004 and 2005 our contracts were primarily time and material contracts devoted to a specific deliverable rather than to multiple deliverables.

 

11



 

The contracts acquired from Millennix typically required upfront payments of 10-15% of the projected amount of the contract, resulting in the recognition of deferred revenue that gets allocated to revenue over the period of the contract. At March 31, 2006 and 2005 the deferred revenue balance was approximately $1,414,831 and 1,066,044 respectively.

 

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from an inability of clients to make required payments. This allowance is based on current accounts receivable, historical collection experience, current economic trends, and changes in the client payment terms. Management reviews the outstanding receivables on a monthly basis to determine collectibility and to determine if proper reserves are established for uncollectible accounts. Receivables that are deemed to not be collectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

Unbilled receivables represent revenues recognized for services performed that were not billed at the balance sheet date. The majority of these amounts are billed in the subsequent month. As of March 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had unbilled revenues included in current assets of approximately $473,905 and $335,853, respectively.

 

Credit Risks

 

Financial instruments that subject us to concentrations of credit risks consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and billed and unbilled accounts receivable. Our clients are primarily involved in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries. The healthcare and life sciences industries may be affected by economic factors, which may impact accounts receivable. At March 31, 2006, approximately 48% of the outstanding trade receivables are due from 4 clients who also accounted for approximately 56% of total sales. At March 31, 2005, approximately 43% of the outstanding trade receivables were due from 4 clients who also accounted for 43% of total sales. However, because a significant majority of our accounts receivable exposure is to large, well established firms, management believes that concentrations of credit risk with respect to our billed and unbilled accounts receivable are mitigated, to some degree, due to the size and nature of our clients.

 

Goodwill

 

The Company accounts for goodwill as an indefinite life intangible asset in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”  As such, the standard requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at least annually, and any such impairment will be recorded as a charge to operations. At March 31, 2006 the Company had no impairment in the carrying value of its goodwill.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

On April 29, 2005, we adopted the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to provide a means by which we can retain and maximize the services of employees, directors and consultants. An aggregate of 7,500,000 shares of our common stock may be issued pursuant to awards from the Plan. The Plan was approved by our stockholders on September 26, 2005. On December 1, 2005, our stockholders approved an amendment to the Plan to increase the number of shares available for issuance to 25,000,000. On April 25, 2006, our stockholders approved an amendment to the Plan to increase the number of shares available for issuance to 50,000,000.

 

Beginning in 2006, the Company has recorded any stock-based compensation using the “modified prospective” method as permitted under SFAS 123R. The “modified prospective” recognized compensation cost beginning on January 1, 2006 for all share-based payments granted after January 1, 2006 and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards outstanding as of January 1, 2006.

 

For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the fair value of the options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions for the three months ended March 31, 2006: weighted-average risk-free interest rates of 4.3%, dividend yields of 0%, expected volatility of 85%, and a weighted-average expected life of 3.7 years. The Company had no stock-based compensation in the three months ended March 31, 2005.

 

12



 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred income taxes are provided under the liability method. The liability method requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the tax rate expected to be in effect when the taxes will actually be paid or refunds received. In estimating future tax consequences, we generally consider all expected future events other than the enactment of changes in tax law or rates. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded.

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

Net loss per basic share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Net loss per diluted share is computed using the weighted average common shares and potential common shares outstanding. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, and warrants to purchase 82,142,832 shares of common stock, were “in-the-money” at March 31, 2006, but were not included in the computation of earnings per diluted shares because the effect would be antidilutive. There were no vested “in-the-money” stock options at March 31, 2006 or March 31, 2005.

 

Employees

 

At March 31, 2006, we had 115 employees. Additionally, we utilize the services of approximately 38 outside consultants who work as independent contractors.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Form 10-QSB includes “forward-looking statements.”  All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-QSB which address activities, events or developments which we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future, including such things as future capital expenditures (including the amount and nature thereof), finding suitable merger or acquisition candidates, expansion and growth of our business and operations, and other such matters are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances.

 

However, whether actual results or developments will conform with our expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, general economic market and business conditions; the business opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to and pursued by us; changes in laws or regulation; and other factors, most of which are beyond our control.

 

Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of predictive, future-tense or forward-looking terminology, such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “estimates,” “plans,” “may,” “will,” or similar terms. These statements appear in a number of places in this Form 10-QSB and include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company, our directors or our officers with respect to, among other things: (i) trends affecting our financial condition or results of operations for our limited history; and (ii) our business and growth strategies. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve significant risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Factors that could adversely affect actual results and performance include, among others, our limited operating history, potential fluctuations in quarterly operating results and expenses, government regulation, technological change and competition.

 

Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-QSB are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by us will be realized or,

 

13



 

even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequence to or effects on us or our business or operations. We assume no obligations to update any such forward-looking statements.

 

ITEM 3. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 as of the end of the period covered by this report.

 

Disclosure controls are controls and procedures designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-QSB, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our quarterly evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures includes an evaluation of some components of our internal control over financial reporting.

 

The evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures included a review of the controls’ objectives and design, our implementation of the controls and the effect of the controls on the information generated for use in this Form 10-QSB. During the course of our evaluation of our controls, we advised the audit committee of our board of directors that we had identified certain issues that on an accumulated basis rose to the level of a “material weakness” in our disclosure controls and related internal controls. A “material weakness” is a significant deficiency, or combination of 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. A “significant deficiency” is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects our ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected.

 

Specifically, we identified the following items that each individually constitute a significant deficiency and collectively constitute a material weakness:

 

                                          Insufficient numbers of personnel having appropriate knowledge, experience and training in the application of GAAP at the divisional level, and insufficient personnel at our headquarters to provide effective oversight, review of financial transactions and reporting responsibilities of an SEC registrant;

 

                                          Inadequate controls within the general ledger system to provide a reliable audit trail without adequate compensating controls due to a lack of segregation of duties within the accounting department;

 

                                          Ineffective or inadequate accounting policies to ensure the proper and consistent application of GAAP throughout the organization;

 

                                          Ineffective or inadequate controls over the timing of the recognition of revenue at the divisional level; and

 

                                          Inadequate integration of the financial reporting with respect to the newly acquired division.

 

Due to the foregoing items and potential impact on the financial statements and disclosures and the importance of the annual and interim financial closing and reporting process, in the aggregate, there is more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual financial statements would not have been prevented or detected. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2006.

 

14



 

To address the material weakness described above, we have already hired additional personnel into our accounting and finance department and presently intend to take the following remedial actions:

 

                                          Provide for greater segregation of duties within the accounting and finance department;

 

                                          Obtain more robust accounting software to enable us to more effectively provide a reliable audit trail; and

 

                                          Disseminate critical accounting policies to the accounting staff and senior managers.

 

As we continue to evaluate and review our remediation process, we may modify our present intentions and conclude that additional or different actions are would better serve the remediation of our material weakness. We expect that the remediation of our material weakness as described above will be implemented during 2006. The material weakness will not be completely remediated until the applicable remedial measures operate for a period of time, such procedures are tested and management has concluded that the procedures are operating effectively.

 

Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no significant changes made in our internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2006 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. However, we do intend to take remedial action related to our material weakness described above which may result in a significant change to our internal controls over financial reporting in the future.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

 

On February 7, 2006, David Sinutko filed the action titled Sinutko v. IT&E International, Case No. 861011 in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Diego, Central Division against us. Mr. Sinutko alleges he owns and operates POI, Inc., (collectively, “Sinutko”), and that under a letter agreement POI, Inc. had with us, Sinutko is owed in excess of $550,000 (plus attorneys fees and costs) from us as a commission for alleged services provided to us related to our recent private placement of senior secured convertible promissory notes. We believe Sinutko’s claims are without merit and subject to defenses, and we intend to vigorously defend ourselves; however, we do not know if we will ultimately prevail or if the outcome will harm our business, financial condition, or results of operation.

 

Additionally, we are involved in various other legal actions arising in the normal course of our business. We believe that the outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operation.

 

ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

On March 2, 2006, our previously issued senior secured convertible promissory notes automatically converted into 11,500 shares of our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. Each share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is initially convertible at the option of the holder into 14,285.71 shares of our common stock.

 

The offers and sales of these securities were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder as transactions by the Company not involving a public offering. The recipients of the securities in each such transaction represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof and appropriate legends were affixed to share certificates issued in such transactions. All recipients had adequate access to information about the Company.
