PART I


Item 1.

  Business.  


Explanatory Note


We do not currently have sufficient capital to engage in any of the present or proposed business activities described below. The costs to operate our business are approximately $100,000 per month. In order for us to cover our monthly operating expenses, we must generate revenues of approximately $300,000 per month. Accordingly, in the absence of revenues, we must secure $100,000 in equity or debt capital each month to cover our overhead expenses. In order to remain in business for one year without any revenues, we must secure $1.2 million in equity or debt capital. If we are unsuccessful in securing sufficient capital or revenues, we will be unable to resume any business activities. We have not obtained any commitments for additional capital, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any additional capital on terms not unfavorable to us, if at all.


To the extent not superseded by the disclosure in this Annual Report, the disclosure under captions “Risk Factors” and “Forward Looking Statements,” in the registrant’s prospectus dated August 7, 2008 filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act of 1933 is hereby incorporated by reference.

In this Annual Report, “Cleartronic,” “we,” “us,” “our” and “the Company” refer to Cleartronic, Inc., a Florida corporation, and our wholly owned subsidiary, unless the context otherwise requires.

Overview


From March 2005 to October 2007, we were primarily engaged in providing telecommunications services to our customers employing Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology. In October 2007, we sold substantially all of our assets utilized in that business.


We are now a provider of Internet Protocol, or IP, unified group communication solutions. The products used in our solutions include our own proprietary products as well as products from other software and hardware vendors. An integral component of our unified group communication solution is WAVE™ software developed by Twisted Pair Solutions, Inc. of Seattle, WA.


We have designed and customized standards based audio and voice collaboration solutions for prospective customers as part of a unified group communication system. We have considered all aspects of a potential customer’s information technology resources and existing telecommunications network in creating a design best suited for that customer. Substantially all of our designs for unified group communication solutions have required the integration of WAVE software as a core component. We have designed, built and installed eight unified group communication solutions as of the filing date of this Annual Report, all of which utilize WAVE software.


Revenues have been generated from the design, construction and installation of the systems. We have also generated revenues from maintenance and support contracts once a unified group communication solution has been installed and tested.


We have also sold our proprietary line of IP Gateways which we have branded the AudioMate 360 Series. These units are currently being sold directly to end-users and by Value Added Resellers (“VARs”) to their end-user customers.  As of the date of this filing, we have approximately 70 active VARs, and we have sold our gateways to more than 500 end-users in the United States and seventeen foreign countries.


In May 2008, we changed our corporate name from GlobalTel IP, Inc. to Cleartronic, Inc. All of our operations are conducted through our wholly owned subsidiary, VoiceInterop, Inc., a Florida corporation.

Need for Unified Group Communications


Although public safety personnel regularly use cellular phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and other commercial wireless devices and services, we believe that these devices are currently not sufficiently suited for public safety mission critical communications during critical incidents. As an example, hundreds of firefighters and police officers rushed to rescue victims from the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. As police and firefighters swarmed the building searching for survivors, incident commanders outside were hearing warnings from helicopters circling the scene from above that the towers were beginning to glow and were dangerously close to collapse. Radio communications were a lifeline for the hundreds of police officers who received the word to evacuate the building—all but 60 police officers escaped with their lives. Tragically, hundreds of New York firefighters did not receive that warning because they were using a different radio communications system. Unaware of the impending collapse, at least 121 firefighters, most within striking distance of safety, died. A report from the University of New Hampshire based ATLAS Project stated, “From numerous interviews gathered as part of a fire department inquiry into the events of September 11th, it would appear that non-interoperability was at least partially responsible for the loss of 343 firefighters at the World Trade Center.”


We believe that public safety officials should not depend solely on commercial communication systems that can be overloaded and that may be unreliable during critical incidents when public demand can overwhelm the systems. Public safety officials have unique and demanding communications requirements. Optimal public safety radio communication systems require:


·

Dedicated channels and priority access that is available at all times to handle unexpected emergencies.


·

Reliable one-to-many broadcast capability, which is not generally available in cellular systems.


·

Highly reliable and redundant networks that are engineered and maintained to withstand natural disasters and other emergencies.


·

The best possible coverage within a given geographic area, with a minimum of dead zones.


·

Unique equipment designed for quick response in emergency situations—dialing, waiting for call connection, and busy signals are unacceptable during critical events when seconds can mean the difference between life and death.


We believe that the WAVE software when properly used can add value, redundancy and alternative methods of communicating for radios and radio systems and the personnel who use them.


Twisted Pair Solutions, Inc.’s WAVE Software


Twisted Pair Solutions’ WAVE software has been designed to enable and manage real-time, secure group communications over the IP network, linking people and devices. WAVE connects people who are using disparate and often incompatible communications technologies, such as two-way radios, personal computers, cell phones, and IP phones, into a single, interoperable and manageable communications system via IP communications technology.


WAVE technology consists of software building blocks and development tools designed to convert all forms of communication to IP packets, use a network to carry those packets between endpoints, and build distributed intelligence and management capabilities at the network edge to connect the endpoints together. The technology converts communications from individual users’ devices into group-level IP packets that can be forwarded to other devices and users. Once brought into a WAVE domain, these interoperable communication sessions are subject to management and security controls, and may be bridged, recorded, joined into conferences, or routed to devices outside of the system.




3



WAVE supports both voice and data media types. In addition, status, presence and adaptive transport network management provide for rich collaboration among group communications participants. The result is that groups of people can talk and share real-time data, with full control, regardless of the devices or systems used. With audio data converted into IP packets and streamed across a network, a new set of devices can directly link together and participate simply and easily in critical communications.


We have been advised by Twisted Pair Solutions that claims based upon the WAVE technology are the subject of a patent application filed by or on behalf of it with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. There can be no assurance that any patent will be issued as a result of the application or, if issued, that it will be meaningful. Furthermore the validity of issued patents is frequently challenged by others. One or more patent applications may have been filed by others previous to the Twisted Pair Solutions’ filing, which encompass the same or similar claims.


We have no right to sell, license or otherwise utilize WAVE other than through our written agreements with Twisted Pair Solutions as described below.


Our Agreements with Twisted Pair Solutions, Inc.


Reseller Agreement


In May 2006, we entered into a reseller agreement with Twisted Pair Solutions. Subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement, Twisted Pair Solutions appointed us as a nonexclusive authorized worldwide reseller of its products. We have the right to purchase products from Twisted Pair Solutions and to resell the products to end users.


We have agreed to provide all necessary implementation services and support, including but not limited to the tools, expertise, and resources required for design, installation, integration, and/or upgrades, for all products sold by us as a reseller through either our own internal resources or contracting with Twisted Pair Solutions’ approved subcontractor partners. We do not now have and there can be no assurance that we will ever have the resources to perform the required implementation services and support.


We have further agreed to maintain trained sales representatives and sales and integration engineers in the number determined by Twisted Pair Solutions. We do not now have and there can be no assurance that we will ever have the resources to maintain such representatives and engineers.


For each product we resell, we are responsible for either the sale of the appropriate annual renewal and update subscription or submittal to Twisted Pair Solutions of written waiver of software updates signed by the end user. In the event an end user purchases or renews the update subscription directly from Twisted Pair Solutions, we will not receive any compensation associated with the sale.


Twisted Pair Solutions has granted to us a non-exclusive, limited license during the term of the agreement to use both Twisted Pair Solutions’ name and any stylized form or logo used by Twisted Pair Solutions and the applicable product trademarks solely in connection with our distribution, advertising and promotion of the products. The exclusive ownership of the trademarks has been retained by Twisted Pair Solutions.


The prices we pay for the products will be set by Twisted Pair Solutions. Twisted Pair Solutions may change prices, discount schedules, and any other similar terms on sixty days notice to us. Subject to Twisted Pair Solutions’ ability to impose maximum resale price limitations, we are free to determine our resale prices. There can be no assurance that the prices we are required to pay to Twisted Pair Solutions or the maximum resale price limitations will not significantly adversely affect our ability to make sales or operate profitably.


Other than with respect to patents, each party’s liability to the other party under the agreement is limited to the total payment made by us to Twisted Pair Solutions in the most recent full calendar year. In the event that any claims are successfully made against us with respect to Twisted Pair Solutions’ products, it is likely that our exposure will be substantially greater than Twisted Pair Solution’s obligation to us.




4


The agreement may be terminated by Twisted Pair Solutions or us at any time without cause upon thirty days prior written notice to the other party. If Twisted Pair Solutions were to terminate the agreement, we would not be entitled to purchase or resell any of its products under the agreement.


Application Service Provider License Agreement


In August 2006, we entered into an application service provider license agreement with Twisted Pair Solutions. Subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement, Twisted Pair Solutions granted to us a nonexclusive and nontransferable right to install, store, operate and use certain WAVE components and market and license access to those components within North America, Central America and South America directly to end users solely as a part of a hosted service operated and maintained by us. The Company ceased to market its hosted service in July 2011 and the application service provider agreement with Twisted Pair Solutions, Inc. expired in August 2011.

 

Sale of Unified Group Communication Solutions


We offer to design and customize, standards based audio and voice collaboration solutions for prospective customers that will result in a unified group communication system. We intend to consider aspects of a potential customer’s information technology resources and existing telecommunications network in creating a design best suited for that customer. We anticipate that substantially all of our designs for unified group communication solutions will require the integration of WAVE software as a core component. We have designed, built and installed eight  unified group communication solutions as of the date of this Annual Report, all of which utilize WAVE software.


Revenue from installations can be generated from the amount we charge to design, build, install and support a system. We also intend to generate revenues from a maintenance contract once a unified group communication solution is installed and tested. There can be no assurance that we will realize any meaningful levels of revenues from the design and building of unified group communication solutions in the future, if at all.


Prior to and subsequent to sales we have made to three airport authorities, we have had discussions with approximately 15 other airport authorities as well as airlines in the United States and abroad to design, build and install voice interoperability solutions. Those discussions have not resulted in any sales.


We have developed an Internet Protocol gateway which we call the AudioMate 360. The AudioMate 360 has been designed to provide an Internet Protocol gateway to users of unified group communications. The AudioMate 360 is available in different configurations which enable it to be used with various types of communications equipment.


Although other devices are available that perform the same or similar functions, we believe that our price for the AudioMate 360 is substantially lower than the prices others are presently charging for similar devices. If we are unable to provide the AudioMate 360 to our prospective customers at substantially lower prices than others are charging for similar gateways, our business will be materially adversely affected.


Sales and Marketing


We have marketed our unified group communication solutions and AudioMate 360 IP gateways through  our Director of Sales and Marketing. The majority of our sales leads have come through our strategic partners and our website.


If we are able to continue our business activities, we intend to continue to develop a network of channel partners and VARs. As of September 30, 2011, we had ten channel partners in our network of over 75 VARs. These existing and potential channel partners and VARs range in size from single-site, regional firms with specialized products and services to multi-national firms that provide a full range of IT products and services.



5



We have also received sales prospects from our website. We intend to use search engine optimization to increase the number of inquiries that we receive from our website and if we become adequately funded, we intend to hire additional direct sales people.


Competition

The unified group communications industry is extremely competitive. Over the past year, the number of companies entering our industry has increased dramatically. Competitive pricing pressures can negatively impact profit margins, if any. Competitors include Cisco Systems, Inc., Tyco Electronics Ltd., Catalyst Communications Technologies, Inc., Telex, Inc., Federal Signal Corporation and Mutual-Link, Inc. as well as Twisted Pair Solutions and its other resellers and licensees.

These and other potential competitors are generally large and well capitalized and have substantially more experience than we do in our industry.

We expect to face intense competition from traditional telephone companies, wireless companies, cable companies and alternative voice communication providers. We may also face intense competition from cable companies which have added or are planning to add VoIP services to their existing product lines.

The traditional wireline and wireless telephone service providers and cable companies are substantially larger and better capitalized than we are and have the advantage of a large existing customer base. Because substantially all of our prospective customers are already purchasing communications services from one or more of these providers, our success may be dependent upon, among other things, our ability to attract target customers away from their existing providers. These potential competitors could focus their substantial financial resources to develop competing technology that may be more attractive to potential customers than what we offer.

Our competitors’ financial resources may allow them to offer services at prices below cost or without charge in order to maintain and gain market share or otherwise improve their competitive positions. Our competitors also could use their greater financial resources to offer more attractive service packages that include on-site installation and more robust customer service. In addition, because of the other services our competitors provide, they may choose to offer unified group communication services as part of a bundle that includes other products, such as VoIP telephone service, video, high speed Internet access and wireless telephone service, which we do not and cannot offer. This bundle may enable our competitors to offer unified group communication service at price levels with which we may not be able to compete or to offer functionality that integrates that service with their other offerings, both of which may be more desirable to consumers. Any of these competitive factors could make it difficult or impossible for us to attract and retain customers, cause us to lower our prices in order to compete and reduce our market share and revenues.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to increase our revenues or achieve profitability.

Manufacturing and Suppliers


We have outsourced the manufacturing of our hardware products. This outsourcing has allowed us to:

 

 

 

avoid costly capital expenditures for the establishment of manufacturing operations;

 

 

 

focus on the design, development, sales and support of our hardware products; and

 



6



 

 

leverage the scale, expertise and purchasing power of specialized contract manufacturers.

 

Currently, we have arrangements for the production of our gateways with a contract manufacturer in Florida. Our reliance on contract manufacturers involves a number of potential risks, including the absence of adequate capacity, ownership of certain elements of electronic designs, and reduced control over delivery schedules. Our contract manufacturers can provide us with a range of operational and manufacturing services, including component procurement and performing final testing and assembly of our products. We intend to depend on our contract manufacturers to procure components and to maintain adequate manufacturing capacity.


We have also relied on a small number of suppliers for several key components utilized in the assembly of our products. For example, our contract manufacturer has purchased a key component that is essential to the production of our gateways from a single source supplier. We have not identified any alternative suppliers for that component. Our contract manufacturer has maintained relatively low inventories and acquired components only as needed. As a result, our ability to efficiently respond to customer orders, if any, may be constrained by, among other things, the then-current availability or terms and pricing of necessary components. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain a sufficient quantity of these components in a timely manner to meet the demands of our customers or that prices of these components will not increase. Any delays or any disruption of the supply of these components could also materially and adversely affect our operating results.


Intellectual Property  


If we are able to resume our business activities, our business will be dependent on our intellectual property, some of which we have developed for our software and hardware applications. We do not have any patents, trademarks or trade secret confidentiality agreements. For projects that are in development, we intend to rely on intellectual property rights afforded by trademark and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality procedures and licensing arrangements, to establish and protect our rights to our technology and other intellectual property. There is no assurance that these procedures and arrangements will be adequate in protecting our intellectual property.

We have filed a patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office in connection with various configurations of our AudioMate 360 Internet Protocol gateway. We may file similar patent applications in additional countries. The claims in the patent application relate to various aspects of the AudioMate 360.  On October 28, 2011, the United States Patent Office notified the Company that thirty four claims of the Company’s patent application for Multi Ad Hoc Interoperable Communicating Networks have been allowed. There can be no assurance that any of the allowed claims are meaningful.  Furthermore, the validity of issued patents is frequently challenged by others. One or more patent applications may have been filed by others previous to our filing, which encompass the same or similar claims.

Because of our limited resources, we may be unable to protect a patent or to challenge others who may infringe upon a patent. Because many holders of patents in our industry have substantially greater resources than we do and patent litigation is very expensive, we may not have the resources necessary to successfully challenge the validity of patents held by others or withstand claims of infringement or challenges to any patent we may obtain. Even if we prevail, the cost and management distraction of litigation could have a material adverse affect on us.

Because Internet Protocol gateways and their related manufacturing processes are covered by a large number of patents and patent applications, infringement actions may be instituted against us if we use or are suspected of using technology, processes or other subject matter that is claimed under patents of others. An adverse outcome in any future patent dispute could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, require disputed rights to be licensed or require us to cease using the infringed technology.

If trade secrets and other means of protection upon which we may rely may not adequately protect us, our intellectual property may become available to others. Although we may rely on trade secrets, copyright law, employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements and other protective measures to protect some of our intellectual property, these measures may not provide meaningful protection to us.

The laws of many foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States, if at all.

Overview    

 

10


From inception on November 15, 1999 through February 28, 2005, we were a development stage company or inactive, generated no revenue and incurred cumulative net losses of $488,642. In February 2005, we acquired certain VoIP assets from Interactive Media Technologies, Inc. (“IMT”) under an Asset Purchase Agreement. These assets enabled us to begin generating revenue by providing VoIP services to customers. Due to increased competition and additional government regulation and taxation it became increasingly difficult to earn a profit marketing VoIP services and in August and October 2007 we sold certain equipment and software used to operate the VoIP business, the proceeds of which were used to reduce our liabilities. These assets were not then being utilized by us. Following the asset sale we decided to concentrate on marketing unified group communications services to public and private enterprises, market our Audiomate 360 series of IP gateways and to continue to develop an application service provider solution for voice interoperability.


We have provided Internet Protocol, or IP, unified group communication solutions for enterprises. The products used in our solutions include our own proprietary products as well as products from other software and hardware vendors. An integral component of our unified group communication solution is WAVE™ software developed by Twisted Pair Solutions, Inc. of Seattle, WA.


We have designed and customized standards based audio and voice collaboration solutions for prospective customers that will result in a for unified group communication systems. We consider all aspects of a potential customer’s information technology resources and existing telecommunications network in creating a design best suited for that customer. Substantially all of our designs for unified group communication solutions require the integration of WAVE software as a core component. We have designed, built and installed eleven unified group communication solutions as of the date of this filing all of which utilize WAVE software.


We have marketed our products and services primarily through a consultant who serves as Director  of Sales and Marketing. We intend to develop a network of channel partners and distributors which when and if established we believe will increase the revenue we receive from the sale of our products and services.


We outsource the manufacturing of our products to a contract manufacturer. Our outsourced manufacturing model allows us to scale our business without the significant capital investment and on-going expenses required to establish and maintain a manufacturing operation. Our AM360 gateways are manufactured by a contract manufacturer located in Pompano Beach, Florida. Our contract manufacturer provides us with a range of operational and manufacturing services, including component procurement, final testing and assembly of our products. We work closely with our contract manufacturer to manage the cost of components, since our total manufacturing costs are directly tied to component costs. We do not provide forecasts to our contract manufacturer, and we order products from our contract manufacturers on an as needed basis. We do not maintain a large finished goods inventory which limits our ability to fill customers' orders should they demand product quickly.


Our plans to continue our business and make investments in certain areas as described below are contingent upon substantial amounts of capital becoming available to us. We do not now have any such capital and there can be no assurance that we can obtain any capital on terms not unfavorable to us, if at all.


We are headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida and all of our personnel work at this location.


Critical Accounting Policies


Our significant accounting policies and recently issued accounting pronouncements are described in Notes 1 and 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We believe the following represent our critical accounting policies:  

Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are made when accounting for revenue (as discussed below under “Revenue Recognition”), depreciation, amortization, bad debt reserves, income taxes and certain other contingencies. We are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to vary from estimates. We review all significant estimates affecting the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis and record the effects of any adjustments when necessary.

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenues Unified group communication solutions consist of three elements to be provided to customer: software licenses and equipment purchased from third-party vendors, proprietary hardware that is manufactured on contract to required specifications and installation and integration of the hardware and software into the cohesive communication source.


The Company's revenue recognition policies are in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 605-10 “Revenue Recognition”.  (ASC 605-10). Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the contract price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. No right of return privileges are granted to customers after shipment. The Company recognizes revenue for the elements separately as the sales of the equipment and software, installation and integration, and support services represent separate earnings processes that are generally specified under separate agreements.


Revenue from the resale of equipment utilized in unified group communication solutions is recognized when shipped. For software licenses, the Company does not provide any services that are considered essential to the functionality of the software, and therefore revenue is recognized upon delivery of the software, provided (1) there is evidence of an arrangement, (2) collection of the fee is considered probable and (3) the fee is fixed and determinable.


The Company also provides support to customers under separate contracts varying from one to five years. The Company’s obligations under its service contracts vary by the length of the contract. In all cases the Company is the primary obligor to provide first level support to the client. If the contract has less than one year of service and support remaining on the contract it is classified as a current liability, if longer it is classified as a non-current liability.

 

Installation and integration services are recognized upon completion.

 Inventory.   Inventory consists of components held for assembly and finished goods held for resale or to be utilized for installation in projects. Inventory is valued at lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis.

 

Stock-Based Compensation. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 718-10 “Compensation” (ASC 718-10) using the modified retrospective transition method. ASC718-10 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service periods. The Company has estimated the fair value of each award as of the date of grant or assumption using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which was developed for use in estimating the value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and that are freely transferable. The Black-Scholes option pricing model considers, among other factors, the expected life of the award and the expected volatility of the Company's stock price. In March 2005, the SEC issued SAB No. 107, Share-Based Payment ("SAB 107") which provides guidance regarding the interaction of ASC 718-10 and certain SEC rules and regulations. The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of ASC 718-10.

 

Basis of Presentation


Revenue.   We have derived our revenue from sales of our unified group communication solutions, AudioMate 360 sales and related support and services. Our typical solution sale included a combination of third party hardware, WAVE software and installation and integration services. Channel partners buy our products directly from us. Prices to a given channel partner for hardware and software products depend on that channel partner’s volume, as well as our own strategic considerations.



12


Support and services revenue has primarily consisted of post-contractual support and maintenance contracts. Post-contractual support includes software updates which grant rights to unspecified software license upgrades and maintenance releases issued during the support period. Post-contractual support also includes both Internet and phone-based technical support. Post-contractual support revenue is recognized ratably over the contractual service period.

 

Cost of revenue.   Cost of product revenue consisted primarily of hardware costs, royalties and license fees for third-party software included in our systems, salary and related overhead costs of operations personnel and freight. The majority of these costs vary with the unit volumes of product sold. Cost of support and services revenue consists of salary and related overhead costs of personnel engaged in support and services, and hence is substantially fixed in the near term.

 

Research and development expenses.   Research and development expenses primarily included personnel costs, outside engineering costs, professional services, prototype costs, test equipment, software usage fees and facilities expenses. Research and development expenses are recognized when incurred. We have devoted substantial resources to the development of additional functionality for existing products and the development of new products and related software applications. We intend to continue to make significant investments in our research and development efforts because we believe they are essential to maintaining and improving our competitive position. Accordingly, we expect research and development expenses to continue to increase in absolute dollars.

 

Selling expenses.   Selling  expenses primarily include personnel costs, sales commissions, travel, marketing promotional and lead generation programs, advertising, trade shows, professional services fees and facilities expenses. We plan to continue to invest in development of our distribution channels by increasing the size of our field sales force and the number of our channel partners to enable us to expand our business. In conjunction with channel partner growth, we plan to increase the investment in our training and support of channel partners to enable them to more effectively sell our products. We also plan to continue investing in our domestic and international marketing activities to help build brand awareness and create sales leads for our channel partners. We expect that sales and marketing expenses will increase in absolute dollars and remain one of our largest operating expense categories.

 

Administrative expenses.   Administrative expenses relate to our executive, finance, human resources, legal and information technology organizations. Our general and administrative expenses have primarily included consultant expenses, professional fees for legal, accounting, tax, compliance and information systems, travel, recruiting expense,  and facilities expenses. In addition, as if we are able to continue and then we expand our business, we expect to increase our  administrative expenses.

 

Other income (expenses).   Other income (expenses) has primarily consisted of interest and finance charges paid, dividend expense and other miscellaneous income (expenses).

 

Income tax provision.   We recognize income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a tax rate change on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount considered more likely than not to be realized. Changes in estimates of future taxable income can materially change the amount of such valuation allowances.

 

Results of Continuing Operations – Comparison of the Fiscal Years Ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010  

 

Revenues

 

13


Revenues increased from $296,366 during 2010 to $542,941 during 2011.  This increase was due to increased sales of unified communication projects.

 

Cost of Revenue and Gross Margin

 

Cost of revenues increased from $136,489 in 2010 to $274,094 in 2011.Gross margins decreased to approximately 50% or to $268,847 from 54% or $159,877 for the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The primary reason for the decrease in gross margin was the increased sales of third party hardware and software as opposed to proprietary hardware and software, which generate higher gross margins.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses increased approximately 19% in 2011 to $1,358,266 compared to $1,140,619 during 2010. Operating expenses include selling expenses, administrative expenses, research and development costs and depreciation. This increase was primarily due to a 75% increase in selling expenses.

 

Selling expenses increased from $247,442 in 2010 to $433,437 in 2011 primarily due to the increased use of third party consultants and increased travel expenses.

 

Administrative expenses increased approximately 4% from $648,364 in 2010 to $674,747 in 2011 primarily due to increased management and financial consulting expenses partially offset by lower rent expense.  

 

Research and development expenses increased to $237,013 in 2011 from $219,384 in 2010 due  to increased development expense related to the  expansion the AM-360 family of IP gateway devices and to expenses related to developing a demand response energy solution for the consumer market.

 

Depreciation expenses decreased approximately 48% primarily due to certain non-core assets reaching the end of their depreciation period.

 

Interest and Other Expense

 

Interest and other expense was $114,617 and $64,801 for 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The increase was primarily due to accrual of cumulative dividends  of approximately $66,000 on outstanding Series A Preferred stock issued during the year. Interest expense declined to $23,779 for 2011 from $58,207 in 2010 due to a decline in the amortization of notes payable discount to $937 in 2011 from $37,513 in 2010. In addition, finance charges increased to $24,865 during the year ended September 30, 2011from $6,594  in the prior year due to increased use of a factoring company.


14

Loss from Disposition of Assets

 

In 2010, we realized a loss on impairment of certain equipment of approximately $39,863 and a loss of $1,610 from the sale of non-core assets. In 2011, there were no such losses.  

 

Net Loss

 

Net losses were $1,204,036 and $1,087,016 for 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

Trends and Uncertainties  

 

We have chosen to concentrate on developing the business of providing unified group communication solutions to public and private enterprises and marketing our AudioMate 360 series of Internet Protocol gateways. Our ability to grow our unified communications business and market our AudioMate 360 gateways are critical to our future financial position and operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash and cash equivalents increased  by $16,840 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 to $39,188. Net cash used in operating activities for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 was $770,479 as compared to $777,305 for the prior fiscal year due primarily to a decrease in depreciation expense. We funded our operating activities during the most recent fiscal year through financing activities that generated net proceeds of approximately $790,000.

 

At September 30, 2011, our total liabilities were approximately $804,364, which included $41,656 in deferred revenue and $283,499 in notes payable from stockholders.

Based on our initial unified communication installations and the development of our AudioMate 360 series of IP gateways, we have developed a business plan. The business plan calls for us to continue to market and sell unified communications hardware and software directly to enterprise customers. In addition, we intend to market our AudioMate 360 series of IP gateways both directly to clients and through strategic partners and VARs. Our strategic partners and VARs have introduced us to customers in the past, and we will continue to rely on them to introduce us to additional customers. We have also received sales prospects from our website. We intend to use search engine optimization to increase the number of inquires that we receive from our website, and if we have sufficient available funds, we intend to hire direct sales people. Our business plan further calls for us to seek additional strategic partners such as consulting firms, equipment manufacturers and communications companies.

We believe that in order to fund our business plan, we will need approximately $1.5 million in new equity or debt capital. In the past, in addition to revenues and deferred revenues, we have obtained funds from the private sale of our debt and equity securities. We have also had discussions with several securities broker-dealers with respect to a private or public offering of our securities. Although none of such discussions has resulted in any funding, we intend to continue to have such discussions in the future. We also intend to continue to seek private financing from certain of our existing stockholders and others.

Our current operating expenses are approximately $100,000 per month. In order for us to cover our monthly operating expenses, we must generate approximately $300,000 per month in revenue. Accordingly, in the absence of sufficient revenues, we must $100,000 in equity or debt capital each month to cover our overhead expenses. In order to remain in business for one year without any revenues, we must secure $1.2 million in equity or debt capital. If we are unsuccessful in securing sufficient capital or revenues, we will be unable to resume our business activities.

 

15

On September 30, 2011, we had current assets of $93,842 and current liabilities of $670,494. Our independent certified public accountants have stated in their report on our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year end that there is a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In the absence of significant revenue and profits, we will be completely dependent on additional debt and equity financing. There can be no assurance that any funds will be available to us, or if available, that they will be sufficient to fund our capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such additional funding that may be available can be obtained on terms not unfavorable to us. If we are unable to raise needed funds on acceptable terms, we will not be able to execute our business plan, develop or enhance existing services, take advantage of future opportunities, if any, or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements. If we do not obtain sufficient capital, we will not be able to continue operations.

Recent Developments

 

In November 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with a private investor in connection with the issuance of a 8% convertible note in the amount of $60,000. The note matures August 17, 2012 and is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a variable conversion price (58% multiplied by the market price).

 

In December 2011, the Company issued a promissory note to a stockholder for $45,000. The note bears interest at 10%, which is payable quarterly and matures on December 31, 2012.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions  

 

There are no off-balance sheet transactions.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

 

Our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes begin on Page F-1 of this Annual Report.

 

Item 9.   Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

There have been no changes in or disagreements with our independent auditors.

Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures.  

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered in this report, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2011.  This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer (CEO) and principal financial officer (CFO), who concluded, that because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below that, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2011.  A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies in internal controls over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under that Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 


16


Our management is also responsible for establishing internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.


Our internal controls over financial reporting are intended to be designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal controls over financial reporting are expected to include those policies and procedures that management believes are necessary that:


(i)     pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;


(ii)    provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and


(iii)   provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.


As of September 30, 2011, management assessed the effectiveness of the our internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR) based on the criteria set forth in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

 

Based on that assessment, management concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2011 and that material weaknesses in ICFR existed as more fully described below.

 

As defined by Auditing Standard No. 5, “An Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting that is Integrated with an Audit of Financial Statements and Related Independence Rule and Conforming Amendments,” established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB"), a material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies that result in a more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses as of September 30, 2011:

 

(1)     Lack of an independent audit committee or audit committee financial expert.  Although our board of directors serves as the audit committee it has no independent directors. Further, we have not identified an audit committee financial expert on our board of directors.  These factors are counter to corporate governance practices as defined by the various stock exchanges and may lead to less supervision over management.

 

(2)     Inadequate staffing and supervision within our bookkeeping operations. We have only a single consultant  involved in bookkeeping functions. This prevents us from segregating duties within our internal control system. The inadequate segregation of duties is a weakness because it could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters or could lead to a failure to perform timely and effective reviews which may result in a failure to detect errors in spreadsheets, calculations, or assumptions used to compile the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                              

Our management determined that these deficiencies constituted material weaknesses.





17


Due to our small size and a lack of personnel resources, we are not able to, and do not intend to, immediately take any action to remediate these material weaknesses. However, we will implement further controls as circumstances permit. Notwithstanding the assessment that our ICFR was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as identified herein, we believe that our consolidated financial statements contained in this Annual Report fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the years covered thereby in all material respects.

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Item 9B.  Other Information.

 

Between June and August 2011, the Company borrowed $90,000 from a shareholder and issued a promissory note for $90,000. The note bears interest at 10% per annum and matures on December 31, 2012.

 

On September 30, 2011, the Company issued a promissory note to a shareholder for $50,000 and received $50,000 in cash. The note bears interest at 15% per annum and matures on December 31, 2011.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Cleartronic, Inc. and Subsidiary


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Cleartronic, Inc. and Subsidiary as of September 30, 2011 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. The consolidated financial statements of Cleartronic, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2010 were audited by other auditors, whose report dated December 31, 2010, expressed an unqualified opinion and included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

We conducted our audit 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amount and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 Cleartronic, Inc. and Subsidiary as of September 30, 2011 and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the year 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 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $1,204,036 for the year ended September 30, 2011. The Company also had a working capital deficit of $576,652 and a stockholders’ deficit of $698,321 at September 30, 2011. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

To the Board of Directors

Cleartonic, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Boca Raton, FL


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Cleartronic, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.


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.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amount and disclosures in the consolidated 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 Cleartronic, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of 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 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $1,087,016 of $415,162 for the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company also had a working capital deficiency of $6,483,574 and a stockholders’ deficit of $ 343,463 at September 30, 2010. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CLEARTRONIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2011 and 2010


NOTE 1 -

ORGANIZATION, AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


ORGANIZATION


Cleartronic, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Florida on November 15, 1999 originally formed as a website developer under the name Menu Sites, Inc., which operations ceased in 2002.


In 2005, the Company became a provider of Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services and re-seller of international pre-paid telecommunication services and was renamed GlobalTel IP, Inc.


In November 2007, the Company formed, as Florida corporations, two wholly owned subsidiaries: Gulf Telco, Inc. and VoiceInterop, Inc.


In May 2008, the Company changed its name to Cleartronic, Inc.


In August 2008, the Company ceased re-selling international pre-paid telecommunication services, sold certain of its VoIP assets and discontinued all business in its subsidiary Gulf Telco. The Company began to transition its remaining VoIP business into managed unified group communication operations and the development of VoIP related products in its subsidiary VoiceInterop, Inc.


The Company now designs, builds and installs unified group communication solutions, including unique hardware and customized software, for public and private enterprises and markets those services and products under the VoiceInterop brand name. VoiceInterop is the Company's operating subsidiary. The Company is currently developing a demand response energy management solution targeting the consumer market.


PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION


The consolidated financial statements and accompany notes have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cleartronic, Inc. and its subsidiary, VoiceInterop, Inc. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.


USE OF ESTIMATES


In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and operations for the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results.


CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS


For financial statement purposes, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company did not own any cash equivalents at September 30, 2011 and 2010.


ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE


The Company provides an allowance for uncollectible accounts based upon a periodic review and analysis of outstanding accounts receivable balances. Uncollectible receivables are charged to the allowance when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts previously written off are used to credit the allowance account in the periods in which the recoveries are made.


The Company has an Accounts Receivable Purchase and Security Agreement with Bridgeport Capital Resources of Birmingham, AL. Under the terms of the agreement the Company sells certain acceptable accounts receivable to Bridgeport Capital at a discount to the receivable face value. Discounts can range between 2.25 and 6.25 percent depending on the length of time the receivable remains outstanding.


The Company provided no allowance for doubtful accounts for the year ended September 30, 2011 and $1,000 for the year ended September 30, 2010.

 

 

 

 

F-7

 


LONG-LIVED ASSETS


The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful life of long-lived assets. If and when such factors, events or circumstances indicate possible impairment to long lived-assets the Company makes an estimate of undiscounted cash flows over the remaining lives of the respective assets in measuring recoverability from future operations. There was no impairment of assets for the year ended September 30, 2011. For the year ended September 30, 2010, the Company wrote off $39,863 in impairment of equipment.


CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK


The Company maintains cash balances at one banking institution. Beginning December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2012, deposits held in noninterest-bearing transaction accounts are fully insured, regardless of the amount in the account, at all FDIC-insured institutions.


RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS


The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred.  For the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had $237,013 and $219,384, respectively, in research and development costs.


COMPREHENSIVE INCOME


The Company had no comprehensive income during the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.


REVENUE RECOGNITION AND DEFERRED REVENUES


Unified group communication solutions consist of three elements to be provided to customers: software licenses and equipment purchased from third-party vendors,



proprietary hardware that is manufactured on contract to required specifications and installation and integration of the hardware and software into the cohesive communication source.


The Company's revenue recognition policies are in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 605-10 “Revenue Recognition” (ASC 605-10). Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the contract price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. No right of return privileges are granted to customers after shipment. The Company recognizes revenue for the elements separately as the sales of the equipment and software, installation and integration, and support services represent separate earnings processes that are generally specified under separate agreements.


Revenue from the resale of equipment utilized in unified group communication solutions is recognized when shipped. For software licenses, the Company does not provide any services that are considered essential to the functionality of the software, and therefore revenue is recognized upon delivery of the software, provided (1) there is evidence of an arrangement, (2) collection of the fee is considered probable and (3) the fee is fixed and determinable.


The Company also provides support to customers under separate contracts varying from one to five years. The Company’s obligations under its service contracts vary by the length of the contract. In all cases the Company is the primary obligor to provide first level support to the client. If the contract has less than one year of service and support remaining on the contract, it is classified as a current liability; if longer, it is classified as a non-current liability.


Installation and integration services are recognized upon completion.

EARNINGS PER SHARE


In accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC 260 “Earning per Share”, basic income (loss) per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods reported. Diluted earnings per share include the weighted average effect of all dilutive securities outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted per share loss is the same as basic per share loss when there is a loss from continuing operations. Accordingly, for purposes of dilutive earnings per share, the Company excluded the effect of warrants and options as of September 30, 2011 and 2010 for 34,538,487 and 22,471,265 shares, respectively.


FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


The Company adopted ASC topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820), formerly SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements,” effective January 1, 2009. ASC 820 defines “fair value” as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There was no impact relating to the adoption of ASC 820 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASC 820 also describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:


 

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.

 

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

 

 

Level 3: Inputs that are generally unobservable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

Financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenue. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term nature. The fair value of long-term debt is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities. The carrying amounts approximate fair value. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.


INVENTORY


Inventory consists of components held for assembly and finished goods held for resale or to be utilized for installation in projects. Inventory is valued at lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company’s policy is to record a reserve for technological obsolescence or slow-moving inventory items. No reserve was made for inventory balances as of September 30, 2011 and 2010.


PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT


Property and equipment are recorded at cost. For financial statement purposes depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the asset.


Expenditures for replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not extend the lives of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are retired, sold or otherwise disposed of, their costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and resulting gains or losses are recognized.



 

F-9

 


INCOME TAXES


The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires that the Company recognizes income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.


Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a tax rate change on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records valuation allowance to reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount considered more likely than not to be realized. Changes in estimates of future taxable income can materially change the amount of such valuation allowances.


STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION


Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 718-10 “Compensation” (ASC 718-10) using the modified retrospective transition method. ASC 718-10 (formerly SFAS 123R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service periods. The Company has estimated the fair value of each award as of the date of grant or assumption using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which was developed for use in estimating the value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and that are freely transferable. The Black-Scholes option pricing model considers, among other factors, the expected life of the award and the expected volatility of the Company's stock price. In March 2005, the SEC issued SAB No. 107, Share-Based Payment ("SAB 107") which provides guidance regarding the interaction of ASC 718-10 and certain SEC rules and regulations. The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of ASC 718-10.


ADVERTISING COSTS


Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company had advertising costs of $4,144 during the year ended September 30, 2011 and $3,649 during the year ended September 30, 2010.


NOTE 2 -

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an update to the fair value measurement guidance to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments in the update change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendment is not intended to result in a change in the application of the requirements in the Fair Value Measurements Topic in the ASC. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is permitted. The Company is expecting to adopt this guidance in the fiscal year 2012. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.


In June 2011, the FASB issued new guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. This guidance eliminates the current option to report Other Comprehensive Income ("OCI") and its components in the statement of changes in equity. Under this guidance, an entity can elect to present items of net income and OCI in one continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. In addition, the guidance requires entities to show the effects of items reclassified from OCI to net income on the face of the financial statements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012 and interim and annual periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted, but full retrospective application is required. The FASB has issued a proposal that would defer the requirement to separately present within net income reclassification adjustments of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The proposed deferral is intended to be temporary until the FASB has time to reconsider these changes. The other provisions of the guidance will become effective as originally planned by the FASB. The Company is expecting to adopt this guidance in the fiscal year 2012. The adoption of this guidance will not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.




 

F-10

 



In September 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance on goodwill impairment testing. Under the revised guidance, entities testing goodwill for impairment have the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit. Because the qualitative assessment is optional, entities may bypass it for any reporting unit in any period and begin their impairment analysis with the quantitative calculation in step 1. Entities may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. In the qualitative assessment, entities would determine whether it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount. If entities determine, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, the two-step impairment test would be required. However, if it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, further testing of goodwill for impairment would not be performed. The guidance does not change how goodwill is calculated or assigned to reporting units, nor does it revise the requirement to test goodwill annually for impairment. In addition, the guidance does not amend the requirement to test goodwill for impairment between annual tests if events or circumstances warrant, however, it does revise the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider. The amended guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 -

GOING CONCERN


During the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and since inception, the Company has experienced cash flow problems. From time-to-time, the Company has experienced difficulties meeting its obligations as they became due. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred net losses from operations of approximately $1,204,000 for the year ended September 30, 2011 and had working capital deficit of approximately $577,000 for the year ended September 30, 2010. The Company also had an accumulated deficit of $7,687,610 and a stockholders’ deficit of $698,321 at September 30, 2011.These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.


In fiscal year 2007, the Company began its transition from the business of providing VoIP services directly to agents and resellers to the management of VoIP communication services and to design and install unified group communication solutions for public and private enterprises. In fiscal year 2008, the Company completed initial design for an IP gateway device (AM360) and began manufacturing and assembly and marketing. The Company has marketed and sold these devices for the past three years and intends to expand the capabilities of the devices to allow them to be sold into a larger market sectors. The Company has completed development of an Application Service Provider or “Hosted” solution for voice interoperability that is available to customers as a subscription service. The Company discontinued two pilot programs for this service and has discontinued efforts to market this subscription service. The Company is currently developing a demand response energy management solution targeting the consumer market. The development of this solution will require substantial increases in research and development expenses and will require the Company to rely on equity and debt financing to supplement cash flow from operations. Management believes its new business strategy and anticipated increases in revenue and gross margins will enable it to alleviate some its liquidity and profitability issues. However, as part of its revised business strategy, and in recognition of current economic conditions, the Company plans to raise additional debt or equity capital and is discussing debt and equity finance options with private individuals and allied groups.


The Company anticipates that it will have to continue to rely on periodic infusions of equity capital and/or substantial credit facilities to meet its financial obligations.


The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue its existence.

Depreciation expense totaled $13,069 and $25,429 for the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.


NOTE 5 -

DEFERRED TAX ASSETS


The Company calculates its deferred tax assets based upon its consolidated net operating loss (NOL) carryovers available to offset future taxable income, net of other tax credit(s) or tax deferred liabilities, if any. No deferred tax assets for the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 have been recorded since any available deferred tax assets are fully offset by increases in its valuation allowances. The Company increased its valuation allowance based on its history of consolidated net losses.


Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes plus any available consolidated, net deferred tax credits.  Significant components of the Company’s net deferred income tax assets (liabilities) are:

A valuation allowance is required if it is more likely than not that some or the entire portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. For income tax purposes, the Company has approximately $7,207,000 in consolidated net operating loss carry forwards, subject to limitations, that expire in the years 2014 through 2030. The valuation allowance increased $470,000 in 2011 due to an increase in the consolidated NOL carryover of $1.2 million.

 

In May 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FIN 48-1 “Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48” (FSP FIN 48-1). Now codified FASB ASC 740-10-25-9 provides guidance on how to determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. FSP FIN 48-1 is effective retroactively to January 1, 2007. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operation.

In the year ended September 30, 2011, the Company issued two promissory notes totaling $140,000 to two individual stockholders of the Company. The first note in the amount of $50,000 bears interest at 15%, is payable quarterly, and matures on December 31, 2011.  The second note in the amount of $90,000 bears interest at 10%, is payable quarterly, and matures on December 31, 2012.


In the year ended September 30, 2010, the Company issued three promissory notes totaling $40,000 to three individual stockholders of the Company.

Section 6.2     Completion by Landlord.

The Premises shall be deemed ready for occupancy on the date Landlord’s Work is substantially.  The same shall be deemed substantially completed notwithstanding the fact that minor or insubstantial details of construction, mechanical adjustment or decoration remain to be performed, the non-completion of which does not materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises.  Landlord shall give Tenant at least ten (10) days notice of the date on which Landlord estimates Landlord’s Work will be substantially completed, and Tenant shall occupy the Premises promptly thereafter.


Section 6.3 Delay by Tenant.   If substantial completion of Landlord’s Work is delayed due to: (a) any act or omission of Tenant or any of its employees, agents or contractors (including, but limited to, (i) any delays due to changes in or additions to Landlord’s Work, or (ii) any delays by Tenant in the submission of plans, drawings, specifications, or other information or in approving any working drawings or estimates, or in giving any authorization or approvals);  or (b) any additional time needed for the completion of Landlord’s Work by the inclusion in Landlord’s Work of any special or unusual work, then the Premises shall be deemed ready for occupancy on the date it would have been ready, but for such delay, and Rent shall commence as of such earlier date.  Any changes to floor plans after execution of the Lease shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, and furthermore, Tenant shall pay for any extra costs that may be incurred by Landlord which are caused by changes so requested by Tenant .


Section 6.4     Acceptance of Premises .

Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has not made any representations or warranties with respect to the condition of the Premises.  The taking of possession of the Premises by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence that the Premises were in good and satisfactory condition at the time such possession was taken, except for the minor insubstantial details of which Tenant gives Landlord notice within 30 days after the Commencement Date.  If Landlord shall give Tenant permission to enter into possession of the Premises prior to the Commencement Date, such possession or occupancy shall be deemed to be upon all terms, covenants, conditions, and provisions of this Lease, including the execution of an Estoppel certificate.

At any time or from time to time after any such termination of this Lease, Landlord may relet the Premises or any part thereof, in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for such term or terms and on such conditions as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may determine, and may collect and receive the rents therefore.  Landlord shall in no way be responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Premises or any part thereof or for any failure to collect any rent due upon such reletting.  


Section 15.4     Survival of Obligations .

No termination, pursuant to this ARTICLE XV, shall relieve Tenant of its liability and obligations under this Lease, and such liability and obligations shall survive any such termination.


Section 15.5     Holdover .   Should Tenant hold over and remain in possession of the Premises at the expiration of any Term hereby created, Tenant shall, by virtue of this Section, become a Tenant at sufferance and shall pay Landlord 200% of the Rent per month of the last monthly installment of Rent above provided to be paid.  Said monthly tenancy shall be subject to all the conditions and covenants of this Lease as though the same had been a tenancy at sufferance instead of a tenancy as provided herein, and Tenant shall give to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any intention to vacate the Premises, and shall be entitled to ten business (10) days prior notice of any intention of Landlord to evict Tenant from the Premises in the event Landlord desires possession of the Premises; however, that said Tenant at sufferance shall not be entitled to ten business (10) days notice in the event the said Rent is not paid in advance without demand, the ten business (10) days written notice otherwise required being hereby expressly waived.




ARTICLE XVI


DAMAGES/REMEDIES


Section 16.1     Damages.

In the event this Lease is terminated under the provisions or any provisions of law by reason of default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as damages, at the election of Landlord either:


(a)

The present value of the entire amount of the Rent which would have become due and payable during the remainder of the Term of this Lease, in which event Tenant agrees to pay the same at once, together with all Rent theretofore due, at Landlord’s address as provided herein; provided however, that such payment shall not constitute a penalty or forfeiture or liquidated damages, but shall merely constitute payment in advance of the Rent for the remainder of said Term.  Such present value shall be determined utilizing a discount rate of six (6%).  The acceptance of such payment by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of any failure of Tenant thereafter occurring to comply with any term, provision, condition or covenant of this Lease.  IF Landlord elects the remedy given in this Section 16.1 (a), then same shall be Landlord’s sole remedy for such default; or

 

(b)

Sums equal to the Rent which would have been payable by Tenant had this Lease not been so terminated, payable upon the due dates therefore following such termination through the expiration of this Lease.




16



If Landlord at its option shall relet the Premises during said period, Landlord shall credit Tenant with the net rents received by Landlord from such reletting, such net rents to be determined by first deducting from the gross rents, as and when received by Landlord, the expenses incurred or paid by Landlord in terminating this Lease and in securing possession thereof, as well as the expenses of reletting, including, without limitation, the alteration and preparation of the Premises for new tenants, brokers’ commissions, reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other expenses properly chargeable against the Premises and the rental therefrom.  It is hereby understood that any such reletting may be for a period shorter or longer than the remaining Term of this Lease but in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess of such net rents over the sum payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, nor shall Tenant be entitled in any suit for the collection of damages pursuant hereto to a credit in respect of any net rents from a reletting, except to the extent that such rents are actually received by Landlord.


Section 16.2     Remedies .    Lawsuits for the recovery of such damages, or any installments thereof, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone suit until the date when the Term of this Lease would have expired, nor limit or preclude recovery by Landlord against Tenant of any sums or damages which, in addition to the damages particularly provided above, Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any default hereunder on the part of Tenant.  All remedies of Landlord provided for herein, or otherwise at law or in equity, shall be cumulative and concurrent.



ARTICLE XVII


EMINENT DOMAIN


Section 17.1     Taking.

If the whole of the building or the Premises, or, if more than 20% of the Building or the Property, shall be taken by condemnation or in any other manner for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, which materially affects Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of vesting of title as a result of such taking, and the Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be prorated and adjusted as of such date.


Section 17.2     Award.

Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award or payment in connection with any taking without deduction there from, except to the extent that Tenant shall be entitled to compensation based upon damages sustained to Tenant’s Property.  Tenant shall not be precluded from taking its own action against the condemning authority.



Section 17.3     Temporary Taking .      If the temporary use or occupancy of all or any part of the Premises shall be taken by condemnation or in any other manner for any public or quasi-public use or purpose during the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall be entitled, except as hereinafter set forth, to receive that portion of the award or payment for such taking which represents compensation for the use and occupancy of the Premises, for the taking of Tenant’s Property and for moving expenses, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive that portion which represents reimbursement for the cost of restoration of the Premises.  This Lease shall be and remain unaffected by such taking and Tenant shall continue to pay the Rent in full when due.  If the period of temporary use or occupancy shall extend beyond the expiration date of this Lease, that part of the award which represents compensation for the use and occupancy of the Premises (or a part thereof) shall be divided between Landlord and Tenant so that Tenant shall receive so much thereof as represents the period up to and including such expiration date and Landlord shall receive so much as represents the period after such expiration date.  All monies received by Landlord as, or as part of, an award for temporary use and occupancy for a period beyond the date through which the Rent has been paid by Tenant, shall be held and applied by Landlord as a credit against the Rent becoming due hereunder.



17



Section 17.4     Partial Taking .

In the event of any taking of less than the whole of the Premises, the Building and/or the Property, which does not result in termination of this Lease: (a) subject to the prior rights of a Superior Mortgagee, Landlord, at its expense, shall proceed with reasonable diligence to repair the remaining parts of the Building and the Premises (other than those parts of the Premises which are Tenant’s Property) to substantially their former condition to the extent that the same is feasible (subject to reasonable changes which Landlord shall deem desirable), so as to constitute a complete and tenantable Building and Premises; and (b) Tenant, at its expense, shall proceed with reasonable diligence to repair the remaining parts of the Premises which are deemed Tenant’s property pursuant hereto, to substantially their former condition to the extent feasible, subject to reasonable changes which Tenant shall deem desirable.  Such work by Tenant shall be deemed alterations as described in Section 11.1 hereinabove.  In the event of any partial taking, Tenant shall be entitled to a reduction in Rent for the remainder of the Lease Term following such partial taking based upon the percentage of space taken relative to the original Premises leased.
