THE
TRADESHOW MARKETING COMPANY INC
NOTES
TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(February
29, 2008 and May 31, 2007)
NOTE
1. GENERAL ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
The
Tradeshow Marketing Company, Inc. (the Company) was organized in the state of
Nevada on December 3, 2003. The Company was formed to
market specialty products via tradeshows, infomercials, specialty
product shops and kiosks in malls.
The
Company operates on a May 31 fiscal year end.
These
statements have been adjusted to reflect the restatement of the Company’s May
31, 2007 and 2006 audited financial statements.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES AND USE OF ESTIMATES
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of The Tradeshow
Marketing Company, Inc. and subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and are
unaudited. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and
footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the
results for the interim periods presented have been made. The results for
the nine month period ended February 29, 2008, may not be indicative of the
results for the entire year. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal
year ended May 31, 2007.
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 these
estimates.
The
relevant accounting policies and procedures are listed below.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
Cash and
cash equivalents consist of cash and deposits in transit.
Dividends
The
Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No
dividends have been paid during the periods shown.
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenue and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Translation of
Currency
The
company’s headquarters were in Canada through May 31, 2006 and maintained its
financial records in $CDN. For the sake of reporting the Balance Sheet, amounts
were converted to United States dollars using the exchange rate at the end of
each period. Income statement amounts were converted using an average rate for
the period resulting in a translation gain or loss for each period
shown.
On June
1, 2006 the Company relocated its headquarters to Phoenix, Arizona and
established its accounts in U.S. Banks and adopted the U.S. Dollar as its
functional currency. The company has eliminated its accumulated adjustment for
foreign currency translation to contributed capital.
Inventory
The
company inventories finished products it has purchased for resale. Inventory is
carried at the lower of cost of market.
Revenue Recognition and
Accounts Receivable
All the
sales for the As Seen on TV segment of the Company are on a point of sale/cash
and carry basis. The Company does not carry receivables for any sales. All sales
are final. Revenue is recognized when a sale is made. No warranties are
expressed or offered on any goods except that of the manufacturer, which they
support directly.
Revenue
from Franchise sales, if any, will be recognized in accordance with Financial
Accounting Standard 45 “Accounting for Franchise Fee Revenue” It requires that
franchise fee revenue from individual and area franchise sales be recognized
only when all material services or conditions relating to the sale have been
substantially performed or satisfied by the franchisor. To date, there have not
been any franchise sales.
Income
Taxes
The
provision for income taxes is the total of the current taxes payable and the net
of the change in the deferred income taxes. Provision is made for the deferred
income taxes where differences exist between the period in which transactions
affect current taxable income and the period in which they enter into the
determination of net income in the financial statements.
Equipment
Equipment
is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line
method over the assets useful lives, which are 5 to 7 years. Maintenance and
repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Earnings
per Share (EPS)
Basic
loss per share of common stock was computed by dividing the net loss by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
period.
Diluted
loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of
common stock and dilutive securities outstanding during the period.
Dilutive securities are options and warrants that are freely exercisable into
common stock at less than the prevailing market price. Dilutive securities are
not
included
in the weighted average number of shares when inclusion would increase the
earnings per share or decrease the loss per share. As of May 31, 2007 and
February 29, 2008, the Company does not have any dilutive
securities.
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
In
December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin
No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting
standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years
beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company has not determined the
affect of the adoption of SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated financial
statements.
In
December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business
Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”). SFAS 141(R) will change the accounting for
business combinations. Under SFAS No. 141(R), an acquiring entity will be
required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a
transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS
No. 141(R) will change the accounting treatment and disclosure for certain
specific items in a business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) applies
prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or
after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. SFAS 141(R) will impact the Company in the event of any
future acquisition.
In March
2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial
Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS 156”). SFAS 156
requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each
time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a
servicing contract in specific situations. Additionally, the servicing asset or
servicing liability shall be initially measured at fair value, if practicable.
SFAS 156 permits an entity to choose either the amortization method or fair
value measurement method for subsequent measurement of the servicing asset or
servicing liability. SFAS 156 is effective for our fiscal year ending May 31,
2008. The adoption of SFAS 156 is not expected to have a material affect on our
financial position or results of operations.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 (“SFAS 157”).
The Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS 157 is
not expected to have a material affect on our financial position or results of
operations.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”), which
permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain
other items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity is
required to report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value
option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. This
statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement. SFAS 159 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The
Company has not determined the impact of SFAS 159 on its financial
position.
In
March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 13
3
” (“SFAS
161”), which establishes, among other things, the disclosure requirements for
derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 161 requires
qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives,
quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on
derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent
features in derivative agreements. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal periods
and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We are
currently evaluating the impact SFAS 161 will have on our financial
statement disclosures.

season. Typically, the Company experiences the highest sales volume for products
that are demonstrated via infomercials, during those periods when the
infomercials are advertised on television. No one particular product represents
a material portion of our revenues for the entire fiscal year. Rather, annual
gross sales are derived from numerous products, with eight to ten feature
products, on average, being the biggest sellers.
For the
period ended February 29, 2008 the bulk of our sales revenue has come from our
retail stores. The sales from our stores are experiencing moderate
growth. Internet sales have declined as Management has focused their
capital resources on the franchise sales division, as opposed to marketing the
Company’s website sales. Our business model contemplates the sale of franchises
and increased revenues as a means to generate revenues, as needed, for our
retail store operations.
Acquisition
of Productive Assets
On August
31, 2005, Tradeshow acquired the assets and sub-leases of two retail stores in
the Arrowhead and Paradise Valley Malls in Phoenix, Arizona. Following the
acquisition, the Company changed the name of the two stores to “Sandstrom OnTV”.
The Company’s Sandstrom OnTV stores feature a unique and diverse mix of
innovative consumer products, which includes the same merchandise that the
Company demonstrates and sells at tradeshow venues.
On
December 23, 2005 the company announced the launch of its first eCommerce
website for ON TV products. The site, located at www.ontvco.com, offers direct
access to classic and the most popular ON TV Items. The site is managed by the
companies Chief Technical Officer and orders are fulfilled thru the Paradise
Valley retail store in Phoenix Arizona.
The
acquisition of the two retail stores was an acquisition of productive assets, as
the Company purchased the assets of, and assumed the sub-leases for, both
retail businesses. The Company also received the rights to use the “As Seen On
TV” trade name for the stores, but has decided to use the name Sandstrom OnTV”
instead. The Company acquired $35,000 dollars of stock and equipment in the
acquisition. The assets acquired included an inventory of “as seen on TV”
like products valued at the time of the transaction at $25,000 (based on the
products wholesale prices; the retail value is approximately double that
figure), and store fixtures, such as shelving, displays casing video
surveillance equipment, computers, a cash register and a credit card machine,
the value of which was deemed to be $10,000.
The
approximate square footage of each store is 530 sq feet.
The
Company has two operating subleases for retail outlets located in the Arrowhead
and Paradise Valley Malls, Arizona with aggregate monthly payment of $8,045 or
$96,450 per year. The leases on Paradise Valley store and the Arrowhead store
expire in December 2008. The numbers shown below assume that the Company will be
able to renew its lease or sublease and continue to operate these facilities at
the current rate:

Revenue
For the
three months ended February 29, 2008, revenues decreased by $15,720 compared to
the three months ended February 28, 2007. The decrease in sales is attributable
to a decline in website sales as a result of Management’s decision not to focus
marketing efforts on their website sales, instead focusing on our franchise
sales division.
Cost of Sales & Gross
Profit
For the
three months ended February 29, 2008, cost of sales increased by $33,285
compared to the three months ended February 28, 2007. This increase is due to
stock and freight charges required to support the increase in sales in the
stores and a related increase in wages and salaries incurred due to the staffing
of the stores.
Expenses
There was
an increase of $303,096 in general and administrative expenses for the third
quarter of 2008 compared to the third quarter of 2007. Additional staff was
hired for the Arizona stores, and also employees were given incentives in the
form of sales bonuses resulting in increased wages and employee
benefits. There was a decrease of $26,060 in Professional fees
primarily due to additional consulting fees connected with legal accounting
and franchise development fees incurred during the third quarter of fiscal year
2007. There were no similar expenses incurred during the third quarter of fiscal
year 2008.
Net
Loss
Our net
loss for the third quarter of fiscal year May 31, 2008 was $422,356 compared to
a net loss of $96,315 for the third quarter of fiscal year May 31, 2007.
The loss is reflective of the increase in professional and consulting fees
incurred during the first two quarters of fiscal year 2008 as well employee
wages and benefits, which were deemed necessary by management in order to
focus our sales and marketing
efforts.

Revenue
The
company generated revenues of $285,061 from operations during the first nine
months of the fiscal year ended May 31, 2008 compared to $344,686 for the same
period in the previous fiscal year. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to
a lack of sales over the internet as management determined not to focus
marketing efforts on the internet sales, but instead focused on marketing the
franchise division.
Cost of Sales & Gross
Profit
For the
nine months ended February 29, 2008, cost of sales decreased by $8,875 compared
to the nine months ended February 28, 2007.The decrease is related to the
decrease in sales.
For the
nine months ended February 29, 2008 gross profit decreased by $50,750 compared
to the nine months ended February 28, 2007. This decrease is primarily related
to the decrease in sales, and an increase in the stock and freight
charges.
Expenses
There was
an increase of $712,761 in general and administrative expenses for the first
nine months of the fiscal year ending May 31, 2008 compared to the
first nine months of the fiscal year ending May 31, 2007. This increase
primarily is due to the opening of the franchise sales division Sandstrom OnTV
as the Company incurred an increase in wages and salaries, promotional expenses,
and professional fees associated with the opening of the franchise sales
division.
Net Loss
Our net
loss for the first nine months of the fiscal year ended May 31, 2008 was
$1,019,330 compared to a net loss of $239,045 for the first nine months of the
fiscal year ended May 31, 2007. The increase in the net loss is primarily due to
the opening of the franchise sales division, Sandstrom OnTv, and the expenses
incurred in relation to the opening of the same, with out any offsetting income
as there have not been any franchise sale to date. The costs incurred have been
in relation to set up fees such as training manuals, legal fees associated with
preparing the Uniform Franchise Offering Circular, as well as wages and salaries
and other operating expenses.
Dividends
There are
no restrictions in the Company’s articles of incorporation or bylaws that
prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do
prohibit the Company from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the
distribution of the dividend:
|
1.
|
The
Company would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual
course of business; or
|
|
|
|
|
2.
|
The
Company total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities
plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders
who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the
distribution.
|
The
Company has not declared any dividends and does not plan to declare any
dividends in the foreseeable future.
Need for Additional
Capital
We cannot
guarantee that we will be successful in our business operations. The Company’s
business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business
enterprise. See Risk Factors below.
The
Company has no assurance that future financing will be available to us on
acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, the
Company may not be unable to continue, develop or expand operations. Equity
financing could result in additional dilution to existing
shareholders.
Liquidity and Financial Condition
The
Company had cash on hand of $42,750 as of February 29, 2008. The Company
has not attained profitable operations and is dependent upon obtaining
additional financing. For these reasons our auditors have stated in their report
that they have substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going
concern.
The
financial statements accompanying this quarterly report contemplate the
Company’s continuation as a going concern. However, the Company has sustained
substantial losses. Additional funding will be necessary to continue
development and marketing of our products. The Company intends to arrange for
the sale of additional shares of our common stock to obtain additional operating
capital for at least the next twelve months. Additionally, the Board of
Directors has determined that it is in the best interest of the Company to spin
off the Sandstrom OnTV subsidiary, and through the spin-off hopes to recover the
amounts previously advanced to the subsidiary.
Off- Balance Sheet Arrangements
The
Company has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are
reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial
condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of
operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are
material to stockholders.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our
financial statements are based on accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America, many of which require management to make
significant estimates and assumptions. We believe that the following are some of
the more critical judgment areas in the application of our accounting policies
that currently affect our financial condition and results of
operation.
Revenue
recognition
.
We
recognize revenue at the point of sale at our retail stores, at our tradeshows
and over the Internet. We do not carry any accounts receivable and all sales are
final. No warranties are expressed or offered on any goods except that of the
manufacturer, which they support directly.
Merchandise
inventories
.
We
record inventory at lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market value.
We reduce the carrying value of our inventory for estimated obsolescence or
unmarketable inventory by an amount equal to the excess of the cost of inventory
over the estimated market value based upon
assumptions
about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less
favorable than those projected by management, additional reserves may be
required.
Income
taxes
. The provision for income taxes is the total of the current taxes
payable and the net of the change in the deferred income taxes. Provision is
made for the deferred income taxes where differences exist between the period in
which transactions affect current taxable income and the period in which they
enter into the determination of net income in the financial
statements.
Stock Based
Compensation:
The Company accounts for its stock based compensation based
upon provisions in SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation
. In this statement stock based compensation is divided into
two general categories, based upon who the stock receiver is, namely:
employees/directors and non-employees/directors. The employees/directors
category is further divided based upon the particular stock issuance plan,
namely compensatory and non-compensatory. The employee/directors
non-compensatory securities are recorded at the sales price when the stock is
sold. The compensatory stock is calculated and recorded at the securities’ fair
value at the time the stock is given. SFAS 123 also provides that stock
compensation paid to non-employees be recorded with a value which is based upon
the fair value of the services rendered or the value of the stock given,
whichever is more reliable. The Company has selected to utilize the fair value
of the stock issued as the measure of the value of services
obtained.
Risk Factors
An
investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should
carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this
Quarterly Report before investing in our common stock. If any of the following
risks occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be
seriously harmed. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any
of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Our accountants believe there is
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The
Company incurred losses in the approximate amount of $2,016,000 for the period
from inception to February 29, 2008. Net loss from operations for the nine
months ended February 29, 2008 was $1,019,330.
The
Company will require additional financing if the costs of our operations are
greater than anticipated. We will also require additional financing to sustain
our business operations if we are not successful in earning revenues. We
currently do not have any arrangements for financing and we may not be able to
obtain financing when required. The Company’s future is dependent upon our
ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the
development of our business. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to
a number of factors. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or
conditions of additional financing unavailable to the Company.
Since
this is a new business, we face a high risk of business failure due to our
inability to predict the success of our business
The Company faces a high risk of
business failure because of the unique difficulties and uncertainties inherent
in new ventures.
Potential
investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by commencing
a new business venture and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The
likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses,
difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the
business the Company plans to undertake.
Our stock is a “penny stock”, with
the result that trading of our common stock in any secondary market may be
impeded.
The SEC
has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with
transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with
a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national
securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price
and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is
provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a
broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a
standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, that: (a)
contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny
stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a
description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights
and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such
duties or other requirements of Securities' laws; (c) contains a brief, clear,
narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny
stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d)
contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e)
defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of
trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such
form, including language, type, size and format, as the Commission shall require
by rule or regulation. The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting
any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with: (a) bid and offer
quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and
its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid
and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and
liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statements
showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In
addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny
stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a
special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for
the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt
of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving
penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading
activity in the secondary market for our stock as it is subject to these penny
stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling those
securities.
FORWARD
LOOKING STATEMENTS
The statements contained in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB that are not historical fact are forward-looking
statements (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995), within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. The forward-looking statements contained herein are based on
current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties.
These statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology
such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” or “anticipates,” or the
negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by
discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company
wishes to caution the reader that these forward-looking statements that are not
historical facts are only predictions. No assurances can be given that the
future results indicated, whether expressed or implied, will be achieved.
While sometimes presented with numerical specificity, these projections and
other forward-looking statements are based upon a variety of assumptions
relating to the business of the Company, which, although considered reasonable
by the Company, may not be realized. Because of the number and range of
assumptions underlying the Company’s projections and forward-looking statements,
many of which are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies that
are beyond the reasonable control of the Company, some of
the assumptions inevitably will not
materialize, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur subsequent to
the date of this report. These forward-looking statements are based on
current expectations and the Company assumes no obligation to update this
information. Therefore, the actual experience of the Company and the
results achieved during the period covered by any particular projections or
forward-looking statements may differ substantially from those projected.
Consequently, the inclusion of projections and other forward-looking statements
should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person
that these estimates and projections will be realized, and actual results may
vary materially. There can be no assurance that any of these expectations
will be realized or that any of the forward-looking statements contained herein
will prove to be accurate.
Seasonality
The
Company's sales are quite seasonal, increasing with the shopping trends
associated with the retail industry of sales peaking during the holiday season.
In the past year, a substantial portion of our total revenues and all or most of
our earnings came in the first quarter ending February 28. The results of
operations for this quarterly period are not necessarily indicative of the
results for the full fiscal year.
ITEM
3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
An
evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report was carried out
under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including
our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer
and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that those disclosure controls and
procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance that information
required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and
forms. In addition, there has been no change in our internal control over
financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during the period covered by this
report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
It should
be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can
provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in
part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events.
Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be
no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under
all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
