Item 1.         Business

Overview

We were incorporated on March 13, 2006 in the State of Colorado.  On April 1, 2006, in a share for share exchange, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of V2K Window Fashions, Inc., a company incorporated in Colorado on July 24, 1996, and V2K Manufacturing, Inc., a company incorporated in Colorado on September 21, 1994.  On July 1, 2006, we transferred the software and our software development team into a separate entity named V2K Technology, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary and a Colorado corporation.  On April 6, 2007, we organized Marketing Source International LLC, a Colorado limited liability company.

Through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, V2K Window Fashions, Inc. and V2K Technology, Inc., we sell and support franchises in the residential and commercial window fashion industry, and develop and license proprietary software that allows users to decorate windows for both residential and commercial customers.  As of the date of this filing, V2K Manufacturing, Inc. and Marketing Source International LLC have no operations.

Our current emphasis is in window fashions and accessories.  Our subsidiary, V2K Window Fashions, Inc. (“V2K Window Fashions”) sells and supports franchises in the window fashion industry.  We began selling franchises in March 1997.  Our first franchisee started operations in August 1997.  After selling several franchises, we halted our franchise sales activity while we refined our business plan and secured outside financing.  We began aggressively developing the franchise business model in November 2001, at which point we had 9 franchises.  As of September 30, 2009, we had 134 franchises, operating in thirty-five states, three Canadian provinces and Aruba.

Using our proprietary software developed at V2K Technology, Inc. (“V2K Technology”), our franchisees sell window fashions of all kinds to both commercial and residential customers.  “Soft” window fashions, such as drapes and curtains, and  “hard” goods, such as blinds, cellular shades, and shutters, are sourced to third party vendors.  All items are shipped directly from the manufacturer or vendor to the franchisee.

We intend to become the dominant company in the window décor and accessory market.  We plan to accomplish this goal by:

·     
introducing our three-dimensional software technology into the industry’s sales channel and supply chain;
·     
growing the business aggressively through the franchise business model and corporate license agreements; and
·     
controlling the industry’s distribution channel.

Our long-term vision is to capture the majority of the home décor arena using our scalable, three-dimensional, graphic technology, by allowing our sources of distribution to bring unique general economies of scale to flooring, wall coverings, art, and accessory furnishings, among others.  In addition, we have license opportunities in related fields, such as the casement window industry, paint industry, and other industries in the building and design trade.

Our corporate offices, which include V2K International and all our subsidiaries, are located at 7853 E. Arapahoe Court, Suite 3100, Centennial, Colorado 80112, and our telephone number is (303) 202-1120.
 
Our Software

We have developed software that enables the user to decorate interiors of homes and other buildings on a computer screen.  By using the same type of graphics engine utilized by computer games, the user “sees” a three-dimensional image of a room, drawn to scale, on the computer screen.  Window coverings and accessories can be placed in the room, allowing the user to see the end result of the decorating effort.  Moreover, our software prices the items and prints the necessary purchase orders.

5

As our current emphasis is in window fashions, the software has been customized to enable the user to:

·     
design virtually any window covering style to scale on a computer or digital TV screen;
·     
adjust or redraw the window covering;
·     
calculate the price of the window covering immediately; and
·     
print a customer sales order for the window covering, as well as purchase orders for the vendors, production orders for the workroom, and installation instructions for the installer.

We believe that our software is unique and provides users with two distinct advantages:

·     
Customers can see what the window coverings will look like on their windows before they buy.  A sales agent can stay with the customer, showing the customer exactly what the window treatment will look like, to scale, and how much it will cost, until the customer finds a satisfactory style and a price.
·     
The time-consuming calculation and paperwork commonly associated with the window covering business has been eliminated.  With one keystroke and no additional data entry, the sales agent can create the purchase orders for the vendors and the production order for the workroom.

We plan to develop a web-based version of the software that will allow customers to design their own window coverings on the Internet.  We also plan to expand the existing software to provide a variety of interior and exterior design functions.  We have not established any timetables for these plans.

Current Application of Software

Franchisees go into the homes or businesses of prospective customers equipped with a laptop computer.  In their vehicles are samples of fabrics that we offer.  After measuring the windows and entering the data into the computer, the franchisee can then put the whole room, including the ceiling, floor, windows, and walls to scale in the computer.  A window library resides in the software containing almost any shape or style of window that exists.  The franchisee may then enter the colors and texture of the walls, floor and ceiling, as well as show the room under a variety of lighting conditions.

The franchisee then begins to decorate the window electronically on the screen in the desired style specified by the customer.  The software contains a fabric library that the franchisee can retrieve to show on the window treatment.  While the windows are being decorated on the screen, the software computes the sales price of the treatment, gross margin, and percent of profit to the franchisee.  The customer can know immediately the sales price of each window treatment and the order as a whole.  The franchisee can see the margins and percent of profit and adjust the sales price down if necessary in order to get the sale.

Once the customer sees a design and price that is acceptable, the franchisee can bring in an actual sample of the fabric for the customer to see and touch.  The software generates a sales order for the customer to sign.  The franchisee generally collects 50% of the total purchase price as a deposit.  V2K offers 3-, 6- and 12-month, no-payment, deferred interest consumer financing plans through a national financial institution.  We do not guarantee any financing of the franchisees.

With an order in hand, the franchisee can send the order to us electronically.  One of our product specialists then reviews the order to make sure it conforms to the product being sold, and verifies the pricing.  Upon approval by a product specialist, the order is then broken down by vendor and the materials are ordered.  Alternatively, the franchisee can place the order with vendors directly.  The vendors then process the order and ship the finished products directly to the franchisee.  Upon receipt of the finished goods, the franchisee arranges for third party installation at the customer’s home or office.

The Interior Decorating Market

The U.S. market for interior décor, including window fashions, is fragmented in terms of competition and established distribution channels.  For example, according to a market research report, Window Treatments and

Wallcoverings, by Catalina Research, published January 1, 2004, soft product window fashion sales were distributed as follows:
·     
discount or mass merchandising department stores – 27%
·     
conventional and national chain department stores – 10.8%
·     
window treatment stores – 15.3%
·     
warehouse clubs – 9.5%
·     
electronic, mail order and direct selling retailers – 6.4%
·     
other home furnishing stores – 6.3%
·     
home centers, other building material dealers – 6.2%
·     
specialty floor covering retailers – 4.5%
·     
family clothing stores – 4.3%
·     
general merchandisers – 2.6%
·     
paint and wallpaper stores – 2.1%
·     
furniture stores – 1.5%
·     
hardware stores – 0.9%
·     
piece goods stores – 0.8%
·     
other retailers – 1.8%

This fragmentation has limited the implementation of technology as a competitive component in the window fashion industry.  The industry is not automated at the point of sale and industry participants have, up to now, relied on antiquated manual systems for selling and administrating window fashions, resulting in quality control errors and higher operating margins.

Typically, a sales agent, decorator, or designer goes to a potential customer’s home and attempts to sketch or draw a treatment in which the customer is interested.  In the case of “hard” treatments involving non-fabric items, the agent uses a yellow pad and calculator to provide the customer an approximate price.  This is a long and tedious process.  If the customer objects to the price or wants to explore other alternatives, a different treatment is selected and the pricing process begins anew.  In the case of “soft” treatments involving the use of fabric, the agent will most likely have to meet with the manager of a workroom in order to calculate yardage, width cuts, repeats, and a variety of other variables, before he or she can get back to the customer with a price.  This process may take as many as 3 to 5 days.  If the customer objects to the price, the agent must either discount the price or start the entire process over again.  Once the customer decides on a treatment, the agent will literally spend hours writing purchase orders for the vendors, and in the case of soft treatments, production orders for the workroom.  It is inevitable that mistakes are made along the way.

Franchise and Licensing Operations

We do not sell window fashions directly to the customer.  Instead, we have chosen to grow our business by selling franchise and license agreements.

We started selling franchises in March 1997.  As of September 30, 2009, we had 134 franchises, operating in 35 states, the Canadian provinces of Alberta, British Columbia and Nova Scotia, and Aruba.

We sell franchise units based on a minimum territory size of 30,000 households.  Franchisees may purchase one or more additional areas of primary responsibility if they are not in default under their franchise agreements, if the additional areas are available, and if we approve.  Additional areas may have more or less than 30,000 households.  We will determine the fee for each additional area at the time of purchase, but it will be less than the initial franchise fee.  As of the date of this report, the current fee for each additional area is $1.05 per household, but we may change this fee at any time.

We also make available a Small Market Franchise, based on a territory size of up to 15,000 households, in sparsely populated areas where a territory of 30,000 households would be difficult to cover because of the distances involved.

We currently charge a franchise fee of $59,900 ($39,900 for a Small Market Franchise) for which the franchisee receives the following:
·     
a laptop computer, portable printer, and carrying case
·     
V2K’s software, including a price management program
·     
non-proprietary software
·     
samples of fabric, hard products and decorative hardware
·     
starter set of printed materials, including business cards, stationery, and promotional materials
·     
training manual, policy and procedure manual and marketing kit and
·     
the exclusive right to advertise in a designated area.

We also provide basic training for up to two persons for each franchise.  We reimburse the franchisee for travel expenses for one person (up to $300) and pay lodging expenses for one person to attend the training as part of the franchise fee.  The franchisee is liable for meals, travel, and lodging expenses for any additional person(s).

In addition to the franchise fee, we require franchisees to pay a non-refundable continuing royalty based on a percentage of the franchise’s annual gross sales in each franchise year, according to the following schedule:
·     
first $200,000 of gross sales – 8%
·     
next $100,000 of gross sales – 7%
·     
amount over $300,000 of gross sales – 4%

The first franchise year commences on the first day of the first full month following the franchisee’s satisfactory completion of basic training or on any other date we may designate.  Each subsequent one-year period is another franchise year.

The monthly minimum royalty fee in the first franchise year is $250/month, $500/month in the second franchise year, and $1,000/month in each franchise year thereafter.  In the case of a Small Market Franchise, the monthly minimum royalty fee is $125/month in the first year, $250/month in the second year, and $500/month in each year thereafter.

In addition, we require franchisees to pay us the following:

2 The Minimum National/Regional/Local Advertising Fund Fees are $62.50 per month in the first year, $125 per month in the second year, and $250 per month thereafter (including all months in any renewal terms); except if the franchisee qualifies for, and pays, the Small Market Franchise fee, the Minimum National/Regional/Local Advertising Fund Fees are $31.25 per month in the first year, $62.50 per month in the second year, and $125 per month thereafter (including all months in any renewal terms).  We may require franchises to participate in a regional advertising cooperative, in which case all or part of this fee will be paid to the cooperative.  To date, participation has not been required.  If a cooperative were to be established, the cooperative would determine the amount of the fee.
 
3 Upon 30 days written notice, we may provide a showroom in the franchises’ metropolitan or regional area for the franchisee to show the products and services provided by the franchise.  In that case, the franchisees will be billed for its pro-rata rental fee, not to exceed $150 per month.

Franchisees place most orders for products with us.  We in turn place them with our vendors.  Finished products are shipped  and billed to our franchisees.  Royalty payment terms with our franchisees are net 20 days.  We believe that this arrangement results in quality control of the products being sold to the customer and provides us with a way to monitor our franchisees’ operations.

We believe the advantages to our franchisees are the following:
·     
Start-up costs are $40,170 - $82,300.
·     
The franchisee does not have to have any industry-specific knowledge or prior experience.
·     
We provide the franchisee with extensive training and support.
·     
The franchisee has no inventory to purchase or maintain, nominal receivables, and minimal general and administrative expenses.
·     
The franchisee receives a complete business start up package.
·     
Our software product allows franchisees to set themselves apart from the way others in the industry do business.  To the best of our knowledge and information there is no software product currently on the market that is comparable with that of V2K.
·     
Our software product provides franchisees with a marketing advantage.  Customers can determine what a treatment will look like on their windows before they purchase.
·     
Our software product provides franchisees with a sales and closing advantage.  Our franchisees can stay with a customer until that customer is satisfied.  Our franchisees do not have to check back with a workroom to calculate pricing.
·     
Our software product enables franchisees to administrate the sale of window treatments more efficiently and accurately than others in the industry.

We also propose to sell domestic and international license agreements for the use of our software to a limited number of major retailers who have shown interest in our system.  It is envisioned that our license agreements will include a one-time license fee and a monthly royalty or user fee.

Manufacturing and Sourcing

Franchisees submit most purchase orders to us.  We place the orders for the products with a number of third party vendors, including soft product manufacturers with whom we have development strategic alliances.

For the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, approximately 77% and 69%, respectively, of materials and supplies were acquired from three major vendors (Lafayette Venetian Blind, Inc., Krohn’s Coverings, Inc., and DSC Window Fashions, Inc.), with the largest vendor, Lafayette Venetian Blind, Inc., representing 46% and 38%, respectively of the total for each year.  The related accounts payable to the largest vendor was approximately $208,078 as of September 30, 2009 and $291,131 as of September 30, 2008.  We believe that if we were to lose any of these vendors, we could replace the vendor(s) with others who provide the same materials and supplies.  However, we could incur disruption of processing orders from franchisees while transitioning from one vendor to another and this could negatively impact our business.

Research and Development

We incurred research and development expenses of $158,538 and $317,891 for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Competition

We assess our competitive conditions as follows:
·     
We compete against other companies that offer franchise opportunities.  There are numerous franchise and business opportunities offered by others in all industries.
·     
We compete against other companies in the window fashion industry and others offering window fashions.  As described above, the market for window fashions is fragmented.  We compete with many different types of retailers that sell many or most of the items sold by us, including department stores, mass merchandisers, mail order, specialty retail stores, and other retailers.  In some cases these competitors have substantially greater financial and other resources than us, including, in some cases, more profitable retail economics or better name recognition.

Budget Blinds appears to be our closest competitor, in the sense that it is engaged in the window covering industry, and offers franchises.  Also, a few other smaller companies offer custom window treatment franchise systems.

We are aware of three other companies that offer a software product having some of the functions of our proprietary software:

DreamDraper® by Evan Marsh Designs, Inc. is an application that a designer can use to create a visual two-dimensional representation.  DreamDraper® comes with hundreds of static two-dimensional line drawing graphics of windows and window treatments.  The designer can go to the catalog of two-dimensional line drawing pieces and manually create a representation of the window and window treatments utilizing the Microsoft PowerPoint application.  DreamDraper® has no integrated pricing component.  However, it did come out with a quick quote system recently, but the two systems are independent of each other.
·     
Minutes Matter is very similar to DreamDraper® in that it is used by designers to create a representation of windows and window treatments.  Minutes Matter does not rely on Microsoft PowerPoint, but has its own design environment.  It has a catalog of hundreds of static two-dimensional line drawing pieces that the user chooses from and then manually assembles the window and window treatments.  Minute Matters does not have a pricing component.
·     
Solatech, Inc. has introduced a software product similar in some ways to V2K’s.  Solatech is a two-dimensional photo rendering software that has very limited soft goods capability, with no scaling or visuals that represent what the product selection will look like in the customer’s home.

We cannot assure you that additional competitors will not enter our line of business.  Increased competition by existing or future competitors, resulting in our having to reduce prices in an effort to gain or retain market share, could result in reductions in our sales and profitability, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Government Regulation

To offer and sell franchises, we must comply with the rules and regulations of the Federal Trade Commission, as well as the laws of the states in which offers and sales are made.  The Federal Trade Commission franchise rule requires that we furnish potential franchisees with written disclosures containing information about the franchised business, the franchise relationship, and us.  We have made these disclosures by following the Uniform Franchise Offering Circular Guidelines prepared by state franchise law officials.  We must provide a potential franchisee with the written disclosures upon the earlier of (1) the first personal meeting with the prospective purchaser; (2) ten business days before signing any binding agreement; or (3) ten business days before any payment to us.

12

The Federal Trade Commission does not review or approve any disclosures, advertising, or agreements.  However, 15 states have franchise investment laws that require us to provide pre-sale disclosures.  Of the 15 states, 13 treat the sale of a franchise like the sale of a security and generally prohibit the offer or sale of a franchise within their state until a franchise offering circular has been filed with, and registered by, the designated state agency.  We estimate that the registration renewal fees to maintain compliance with such state laws costs us approximately $7,500 per year.

Trademarks and Copyrights

In November 2005, our subsidiary, V2K Window Fashions, filed an “actual use” application for the new principal trademark/service mark “V2K WINDOW DÉCOR & MORE and Design” (Ser. No. 76/649642). The trademark application process has been completed, and according to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the registration will be issued in “due course.”

Our subsidiary, V2K Window Fashions, has registered our “V2K” logo with the United States Patent and Trademark office.  The registration date is April 9, 2002, and our registration number is 2,559,601, for Computer Software and Business Services.  We also registered the logo for Retail Store Services and Design for Others of Window Coverings and Treatments on March 29, 2005, registration number 2,935,943.

Our subsidiary, V2K Technology, claims a copyright in the Décor Creator software.

Employees

We had 12 full-time and 1 part-time employees as of September 30, 2009.  None of our employees is covered by a collective bargaining agreement.


Item 1A.         Risk Factors

We have incurred losses and cannot assure you of profitability.  With the exception of net income of $69,195 for the year ended December 31, 2003, we have incurred net losses, including a loss of $868,687 for our most recently completed fiscal year.  As of September 30, 2009, our accumulated deficit was $4,160,121.  To date, we have not generated revenues sufficient to fund our business and pay our ongoing expenses.  There can be no assurance that we will be profitable in the future.

We are dependent upon outside financing.  We rely upon external sources of financing to fund future growth and the implementation of our business plan.  Since our inception in July 1996, we have financed our operations through internally generated revenues, the sale of our stock and by borrowing from third parties and affiliates of our Company.  We will likely need to borrow from third parties and affiliates to provide sufficient capital to maintain current operations.  We do not know whether future financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.  Any additional financing may result in dilution to our shareholders.  Our failure to obtain external financing may have a material adverse effect on our ability to operate the business.

Our current business plan is dependent upon our ability to sell franchises and to have successful franchisees.  Our growth is dependent upon our continued ability to sell franchises.  Our existing franchise base of approximately 134 is too small to produce enough royalty revenue to support our operations.  To be successful, we need to be able to identify suitable franchise candidates, provide them with adequate training, and manage competently the infrastructure to support the franchises.  In addition, our franchisees must be successful in their business operations.  If they are not successful, it will adversely impact our sales of franchises and we will not generate sufficient royalty income needed to operate.

We use franchise broker networks and Internet advertising to generate leads to identify suitable franchise candidates.  If prospective candidates indicate a sufficient amount of interest, we encourage them to travel to our offices for a “discovery day” and reimburse them for $300 of airfare and one night of lodging.  After our franchisees attend a two-week basic training program, which includes instruction pertaining to operating our proprietary
 
 
13

 
software, product knowledge and design, business management and sales and marketing, we provide them with a 90-day “quick start” marketing program.  We also follow-up on the progress each new franchisee.

We are affected by economic conditions and consumer trends.  Our success will depend upon a number of factors relating to consumer spending, including future economic conditions affecting disposable consumer income, such as employment, business conditions, interest rates, and taxation.  If existing economic conditions deteriorate, consumer spending may decline, thereby adversely affecting our business and results of operations.

We must be able to anticipate and respond to changing merchandise trends and consumer demands in a timely manner.  If we should miscalculate consumers’ purchasing habits and tastes, we will not be able to compete against other window covering businesses.

We face competition from existing and potential competitors.  We face substantial competition in the overall window covering industry, as well as competition from others offering franchises and business opportunities.  Due to our small size, it can be assumed that most if not all of our competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other competitive resources.  Many of our competitors and potential competitors have greater name recognition and more extensive customer bases that could be leveraged, for example, to position themselves as being more experienced, having better products, and being more knowledgeable than us.  To compete, we may be forced to offer lower prices and narrow our marketing focus, resulting in reduced revenues.

Our success and ability to compete depends upon our ability to secure and protect our technology.  Our success depends on our ability to protect our technology.  In the event that a third party misappropriates or infringes on our intellectual property, our business would be seriously harmed.  Third parties may independently discover or invent competing technologies or reverse engineer our software.  We expect that if we should successfully market franchises and licenses to use our software, competitors may attempt to duplicate our technology.

The loss of our officers and directors or our failure to attract and retain additional personnel could adversely affect our business.  Our success depends largely upon the efforts, abilities, and decision-making of our executive officers and directors.  Although we believe that we maintain a core group sufficient for us to effectively conduct our operations, the loss of any of our key personnel could, to varying degrees, have an adverse effect on our operations and system development.  We currently maintain “key-man” life insurance on Victor Yosha, our president/chief executive officer, however, there is no contract in place assuring his services for any length of time.  The loss of Mr. Yosha would have a material adverse affect on us.  We do not have assurance that the services of any member of our management will remain available to us for any period of time, or that we will be able to enter into employment contracts with any of our management, or that any of our plans to reduce dependency upon key personnel will be successfully implemented.

The knowledge and expertise of our officers and directors are critical to our operations.  There is no guarantee that we will be able to retain our current officers and directors, or be able to hire suitable replacements in the event that some or all of our current management leave our company.  In the event that we should lose key members of our staff, or if we are unable to find suitable replacements, we may not be able to maintain our business and might have to cease operations, in which case you might lose all of your investment.

We use outside suppliers to fulfill the orders placed with us by our franchisees.  Orders placed with us by our franchisees are filled by outside suppliers, with our three largest vendors constituting approximately 77% of materials and supplies for the year ended September 30, 2009.  We have chosen to limit the number of suppliers that we use in order to obtain better pricing terms from them and to insure the quality of the products delivered to our franchisees’ customers.  We believe that if we were to lose any of these vendors, we could replace the vendor(s) with others who provide the same materials and supplies.  However, we could incur disruption of processing orders from franchisees while transitioning from one vendor to another and this could negatively impact our business.

A limited number of shareholders collectively own a majority of our common stock and may act, or prevent certain types of corporate actions, to the detriment of other shareholders.  As of September 30, 2009, our directors, officers, and more than 10% shareholders owned beneficially 60% of our common stock.  Accordingly, these shareholders may, if they act together, exercise significant influence over all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of a majority of the directors and the determination of significant corporate actions.  
 
 
14

 
This concentration could also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control that could otherwise be beneficial to our shareholders.

Outstanding warrants may negatively impact our ability to obtain future financing.  We have outstanding warrants to purchase 8,000 shares of common stock at $37.50 through January 5, 2010, outstanding warrants to purchase 5,852 shares of common stock at $18.75 through September 30, 2010 and outstanding warrants to purchase 5,852 shares of common stock at $31.25 through September 30, 2011.  As long as these warrants remain unexercised and outstanding, the terms under which we may be able to obtain additional capital financing may be adversely affected.

We have a substantial number of shares that may become freely tradable and could therefore result in a reduced market price.  As of November 30, 2009, we had an aggregate of 298,379 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, with 33,565 registered shares, currently owned by existing shareholders, freely tradable.  In addition, we registered the resale of 8,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants.  The sale of a significant number of these shares in the public market may adversely affect prevailing market prices of our shares.

Our common stock is subject to penny stock regulation that may affect the liquidity for our common stock.  Our common stock is subject to regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) relating to the market for penny stocks.  These regulations generally require that a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith be delivered to purchasers of penny stocks and impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.  The regulations applicable to penny stocks may severely affect the market liquidity for our common stock, as some brokers refrain from trades involving penny stocks to avoid the additional work to comply with these requirements.  As a result, your ability to sell your securities in the secondary market could be limited.

Future equity transactions, including exercise of options or warrants, could result in dilution.  From time to time, we intend to sell restricted stock, warrants, and convertible debt to investors in private placements.  Because the stock will be restricted, the stock will likely be sold at a greater discount to market prices compared to a public stock offering, and the exercise price of the warrants is likely to be at or even lower than market prices.  These transactions will cause dilution to existing shareholders.  Also, from time to time, options will be issued to officers, directors, or employees, with exercise prices equal to the then prevailing market price.  As of September 30, 2009, 226,160 options that had been granted to officers, directors, employees and consultants were outstanding.  Exercise of in-the-money options and warrants will result in dilution to existing shareholders.  The amount of dilution will depend on the spread between the market and exercise price, and the number of shares involved.

Trading in our common stock may be limited thereby making it more difficult for investors to resell their shares of our common stock.  Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.  The OTC Bulletin Board is not an exchange and, because trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on an exchange or NASDAQ, you may have difficulty reselling any of the shares that you purchase from the selling shareholders.

History and Overview

V2K International, Inc. (“International”) was incorporated as a Colorado corporation on March 13, 2006.  Through our wholly owned subsidiaries, V2K Window Fashions, Inc., V2K Technology, Inc., V2K Manufacturing,
 
17

 
Inc., and Marketing Source International, LLC, we sell and support franchises in the residential and commercial window fashion industry, and develop and license proprietary software that allows users to decorate windows for both residential and commercial customers.

In April 2006, in a share for share exchange, we acquired all issued and outstanding shares of V2K Window Fashion’s preferred and common stock in exchange for shares of common stock in V2K International on a 1 for 35 basis and 1 for 10 basis, respectively.

In August 2006, V2K Window Fashions opened its first company-owned franchise location, incorporated as Window Fashions Franchise LLC. In July 2007, V2K Window Fashions sold 100% of its ownership interest in Window Fashions Franchise LLC to a third party.  Window Fashions Franchise LLC had been a wholly owned subsidiary of V2K Window Fashions.

In April 2006, V2K Window Fashions transferred legal ownership of V2K Manufacturing and the related equity interest to V2K International.  V2K Window Fashions had acquired V2K Manufacturing in January 2004.  In October 2007, we sold the inventory and fixed assets of V2K Manufacturing to a third party.

In July 2006, in order to further protect the intellectual property associated with the software and to facilitate future licensing agreements, the software and software development team formerly held by V2K Window Fashions were spun-off to form V2K Technology.  V2K Technology became a wholly owned subsidiary of V2K International and licenses a customized window fashions franchise software to V2K Window Fashions.

In April 2007, we organized Marketing Source International LLC, a Colorado limited liability company.

As of the date of this filing, V2K Window Fashions is our primary operating subsidiary, making franchising our primary operations. V2K Window Fashions was incorporated in July 1996 to offer licenses to use the “Pictures and Prices” software, which had been developed by an affiliated company, Pictures and Prices Corporation.  The assets of Pictures and Prices Corporation were later transferred to us in 1999.  We packaged the software license with our training manuals, policies, procedures, and knowledge and began selling franchises in March 1997.  After obtaining a core group of franchises in 1998, we focused our efforts on building our infrastructure to provide support to our franchises, refining our business model, and developing our business plan.
 
Since our inception through September 30, 2009, in order to fund the development of our software and to develop our franchising operations, we have obtained approximately $4,304,990 from: debt subsequently converted to equity ($842,000), including amounts contributed by our officers and directors ($667,000); the sale of stock ($1,514,633); and current outstanding loans ($1,281,357).  We believe that our real value lies in our software.  However, that value is not reflected in our financial statements due to accounting policies (discussed below) pertaining to research and development costs.  We believe that our software has now been developed to the point where it can be used for a variety of niches within the home décor industry.

Critical Accounting Policies

Franchise Operations - Overview.  Franchisees are required to pay the Company an initial franchise fee, royalty fees aggregating between 4% and 8% of gross sales and an advertising contribution fee of 2% of gross sales. In addition, most materials and goods sold by franchisees are processed through the Company using approved vendors and suppliers.

As of September 30, 2009, we supported 134 independently owned franchises located in 35 states, three Canadian provinces and Aruba.  A summary of franchise activity is as follows:

   
September 30, 2009
   
September 30, 2008
 
Franchises in operation - beginning of period
    170       182  
Franchises sold during the period
    2       19  
Franchises cancelled, terminated or repurchased during the period
    (38 )     (31 )
Franchises in operation - end of period
    134       170  

Franchise Operations - Reacquired Franchise Rights.  We occasionally reacquire the rights to a franchise territory. When this occurs we contract with the franchisee to reacquire the territory for a specified amount that can consist of cash, a note payable, and/or forgiveness of debt. While these territories provide benefits to the Company, they lack physical substance, thus, under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 350 (Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”), we record reacquired franchise rights as intangible assets at fair value. Fair value is established as the total amount of consideration that changed hands, not to exceed the estimated resale amount of the territory less all related costs of sales. We have concluded that reacquired territories have indeterminate lives, so the resulting intangible assets are not amortized.  When reacquired territories are resold, the intangible assets are offset against the cost of the sale, and the related carrying value is reduced.  We assess impairment of intangible assets on an annual basis. If any impairment is found, the carrying amount of the asset is written down to the fair value. In the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, we reacquired franchise rights from zero and two franchisees, respectively.

Franchise Operations - Repossessed Franchises.  We have the right to repossess (cancel) franchises. When this occurs we cancel a franchise agreement and take the franchise territory back from the franchisee. We cancel franchises for failure to abide by the terms and conditions of franchise agreements, and for failure to meet minimum performance standards pursuant to franchise agreements. Occasionally, franchises voluntarily surrender their territories. No consideration is exchanged in these situations, and none of the franchise fee is refunded, thus under ASC Topic 952 (SFAS No. 45, “Accounting for Franchise Fee Revenue”), no fair value is assigned to these transactions. In the years ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, we repossessed 38 and 29 franchises, respectively.

Revenue Recognition.  Initial franchise fees are recognized as revenue upon the commencement of operations by the franchisee, which is when we have performed substantially all initial services required by the franchise agreement.  Unearned income represents franchise fees received for which we have not yet performed all of our initial obligations under the franchise agreement.  Such obligations, consisting mostly of training, are generally fulfilled within 60 days of receipt of the initial franchise fee.  Royalties and advertising fees are recognized as earned.

Effective June 15, 2009, we amended the terms of our vendor agreements, which resulted in a change in  our revenue recognition policy with regard to sales of materials and supplies.  The following is a discussion of our revenue recognition policy before and after June 15, 2009.
 
Prior to June 15, 2009 our franchisees placed all orders for materials and supplies with us.  We reviewed each proposed purchase order to determine whether the products could be made as requested, made any necessary changes, and then placed the corresponding orders with its vendors. Accordingly, we determined all product specifications. While the products were shipped directly to the franchisees by the vendors, we received title to the
 
 
19

 
shipped items and had the physical risk of loss upon shipment.  We were liable to the vendors for payment and collected the amounts due for the goods from the franchisees.  We negotiated all pricing with the vendors and had the ability to establish rebate programs with vendors, mark-ups or any other method of creating margin.  In addition, we were responsible to the franchisees for goods shipped by the vendors that did not meet specifications.  We had discretion in supplier selection.  Thus, we acted as a principal as defined in the ASC Topic 605 (Emerging Issues Task Force, Issue 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent”).  Revenue from materials and supplies sales was recorded upon shipment to the franchisee by the vendor and represented approximately 77% of total revenue for the year ended September 30, 2009, and 73% of total revenue for the year ended September 30, 2008.
 
As of June 15, 2009, our franchisees no longer place all orders for materials and supplies with us, and are billed directly by our vendors.  We only review orders submitted to us for our supported vendors, to determine whether the products can be made as requested, make any necessary changes, and then places the corresponding orders with the supported vendors. Accordingly, we determine product specifications for supported vendors only.  The products are shipped directly to the franchisees by the vendors, and the franchisee receives title to the shipped items and has the physical risk of loss upon shipment.  The franchisee is billed directly by the vendor and is now liable to the vendor for payment. We still negotiate all pricing with our supported vendors, and have the ability to establish rebate programs with these vendors.  We are no longer responsible to our franchisees for goods shipped by the supported vendors that did not meet specifications, but do maintain discretion in supplier selection.  Thus, we no longer act as a principal as defined in the ASC Topic 605 (Emerging Issues Task Force, Issue 99-19), and therefore no longer report revenues from sales of materials and supplies.  This change has no material impact our net income, but does reduce the sales of materials and supplies and cost of those materials and supplies by the same amount. The amount of reduced gross sales and cost of these sales from June 15 to September 30, 2009 was approximately $756,000.
 
Intangible Asset Impairment.  Intangible assets consist of reacquired franchise rights from the repurchase of franchise territories. We have determined that reacquired franchise rights have indefinite lives and are not subject to amortization.  Intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may be impaired. As of September 30, 2009, impairment of $73,409 has been recorded.

Use of Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  At this time, our operations are such that there are two primary areas of estimates and assumptions that could potentially have a material impact to the financial statements if significantly miscalculated.  These areas are the allowance for doubtful accounts and share-based compensation.

The potential risk of these estimates can be material to the financial statements, because the receivables are the largest assets on the balance sheet.  If we were to incur adjustments for write-offs that were not covered under the allowance it would be posted through operating expenses, and the offset would reduce the related receivables balance on the balance sheet.  Based on the average receivable balances for the last 24 months, if the estimate was significantly miscalculated it could have a negative impact of $50,000 to $100,000 to the financial statements.  We believe based on our knowledge and ongoing review that the risk of miscalculating to this level is low, barring any unforeseen economic downturn.

Share-based Compensation.  Share-based compensation involves calculating the value of stock options granted under our stock option plan, following calculation methods prescribed by ASC Topics 505 and 718 (SFAS 123R).  We use the Black-Scholes stock option pricing model, which requires assumptions for expected option life, a risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, and volatility.  Expected option life represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, the risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury market, and volatility is derived from trading prices of the stock of a peer company.  For the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, share-based compensation was $37,833 and $83,057, respectively.  Share-based compensation is included in selling, general and administrative expenses as an operating expense and therefore has a significant impact on results of operations.
 

 
20

Variable Interest Entities.  The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC Topic 810 (Interpretation 46 (revised 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”) and requires the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity to consolidate that entity.  The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is the party that absorbs a majority of the variable interest entity’s expected losses, receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, or both, because of ownership, contractual or other financial interests in the entity.

The primary entities in which we possess a variable interest are franchise entities, which operate our franchised window fashions retail operations.  We do not possess any ownership interests in franchise entities. We do not generally provide financial support to the franchisees.  Management has reviewed the franchise entities and determined that, other than the former 100% owned franchise, we are not the primary beneficiary of the entities, and therefore, these entities have not been consolidated

Results of Operations

At this point in our development, our results of operations are impacted primarily by the sales of franchises, as our existing franchise base is too small to generate enough royalty revenue and gross profit margin from sales of materials and supplies to support our operations.  While revenues from sales of material and supplies comprise 77% and 73% of total revenues for the years ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively, the margin on these sales averages approximately 4-6%.  We limit our mark-up to our franchisees so that they can be competitive in quoting prices to customers and also operate profitably.

Year Ended September 30, 2009 as Compared to Year Ended September 30, 2008.  Our sales of franchises revenues decreased by $947,927(90%) primarily due to selling only 2 franchises for the year ended September 30, 2009, as compared to 19 for the year ended September 30, 2008.  Our margin on sales of franchises was 41% for 2009, as compared to 39% for 2008.  The most significant component of cost of franchise sales is the selling commission.  If we obtain the sale of a franchise through the assistance of a broker, we pay a commission equal to 40% of the franchise purchase price, with an additional 7.2% commission paid to our in-house sales personnel.  If we obtain the sale of a franchise without the assistance of a broker, we pay a 12% commission to our in-house sales personnel.  Approximately 85% of our sales of franchises are generated through brokers.  Other components of cost of franchise sales are the costs of training that we provide (such as lodging and travel expenses), equipment provided to the franchisee (laptop computer, printer and carrying case), books of fabric samples, and starter sets of marketing materials.  The increase in margin on the sale of franchise units in 2009 was primarily the result of a reduction in cost of the items we provided to new franchisees during the 2009 fiscal year.

In 2008, royalty fees and sales of materials and supplies decreased by $119,998 (19%) and $2,618,775 (57%), respectively.  We believe that the decrease was due to the general slowdown in the economy, especially with respect to the downturn in the housing market, and our efforts to eliminate under-performing franchises from the system.  In addition, our change in policy with respect to revenue recognition from the sales of materials and supplies played a significant part in the 57% decrease from the prior year.  (See Critical Accounting Policies – Revenue Recognition above.)

While our revenues decreased by $3,686,700 (59%), our operating expenses decreased by $3,772,635 (52%), resulting in the operating loss of $868,531 in fiscal 2009, as compared to $954,466 in 2008.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $583,934 (30%) in fiscal 2009, primarily due to a reduction in stock compensation expense and personnel.  Research and development costs were $158,538 in 2009, compared to $317,891 in 2008.

Interest expense increased by $69,743 (124%) in 2009, primarily due to an increase in the amounts borrowed from related parties.

During 2009, we recognized a gain on liability extinguishment of $104,684 as a result of entering into a mutual termination and release agreement with our landlord, which released us from all of our lease obligations.

As a result of the above, our net loss for the year ended September 30, 2009 was $868,687, as compared to a net loss of $986,279 for the year ended September 30, 2008, a decrease in the net loss of $117,592.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

We have incurred negative operating cash flows, operating losses, and negative working capital.  We have relied upon sales of our common stock and borrowing in the form of bridge loans and convertible debentures to address our liquidity needs.  To a lesser extent, we have also used bank financing.

At September 30, 2009.  At September 30, 2009, we had a working capital deficit of $1,911,271 as compared to a deficiency of $1,151,926 at September 30, 2008.  While our current assets decreased by $724,015, our current liabilities increased by $35,330.  The most significant decrease in current assets was with respect to accounts receivable, which decreased by $505,913.  The decrease in accounts receivable was due in large part to the change in our revenue recognition policy with respect to sales of materials and supplies.

The most significant increase in current liabilities was the result of borrowing from related parties.  Note payable – related parties increased by $309,904 in 2009.  This was partially offset by decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses ($256,356), note payable other ($1,259), capital lease obligations ($3,481), line of credit ($10,000) and deferred rent ($28,786).

Unearned income, which represents franchise fees received for which we are performing our initial obligations under the franchise agreement, increased by $25,308 from September 30, 2008.  Our primary obligation under the franchise agreement is providing training for two persons for each franchise.  We reimburse the franchisee for travel (up to $300) and pay lodging expenses for one person to attend the training as part of the franchise fee.  At the training, the franchisee receives equipment (a laptop computer, portable printer and carrying case), software (both V2K’s software and non-proprietary software such as Microsoft Office and QuickBooks), manuals (training, as well as policy and procedure), and an electronic marketing kit.  Samples of fabric and hard products and a starter set of printed materials (business cards, stationery and promotional materials) are shipped to the franchisee when training occurs.  Accordingly, since we perform substantially all initial obligations required by the franchise agreement once training is completed, we recognize initial franchise fees as revenues at that time.

For the year ended September 30, 2009, we used cash of $85,978 for operating activities, as compared to $1,009,007 for the year ended September 30, 2008.  Financing activities provided cash of $103,103 in 2009, exclusively through proceeds from notes payable to related parties.  In comparison, financing activities in 2008 provided cash of $771,816, primarily through proceeds from notes payable to related parties and proceeds from a line of credit in the amounts of $731,453 and $150,000, respectively.

Going Concern

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern.  As described above, we have suffered recurring losses, have a working capital deficit of $1,911,271 as of September 30, 2009, and an accumulated deficit of $4,160,121 at September 30, 2009, thereby raising substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

Contractual Obligations

As of September 30, 2009, we had the following contractual obligations:

Plan of Operations
 
Although we reduced our operating expenses by approximately $3,700,000 in fiscal 2009 and by approximately $2,200,000 in fiscal 2008, comparable declines in revenues over the last two years have resulted in

the continued need to borrow from third parties and affiliates to provide sufficient capital to maintain current operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for revenue recognition with multiple deliverables. This authoritative guidance impacts the determination of when the individual deliverables included in a multiple-element arrangement may be treated as separate units of accounting. Additionally, this guidance modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables by no longer permitting the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration. We will adopt this authoritative guidance prospectively commencing in its first quarter of fiscal 2010. The implementation is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for the accounting for certain revenue arrangements that include software elements. This authoritative guidance amends the scope of pre-existing software revenue guidance by removing from the guidance non-software components of tangible products and certain software components of tangible products. We will adopt this authoritative guidance prospectively commencing in its first quarter of fiscal 2010. The implementation is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on variable interest entities, which becomes effective the first annual reporting period after November 15, 2009 and will be effective for us in fiscal 2011. This authoritative guidance requires revised evaluations of whether entities represent variable interest entities, ongoing assessments of control over such entities, and additional disclosures for variable interests. We are evaluating the potential impact of the implementation of this authoritative guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on accounting for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies, which amends the provisions related to the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination under previously issued guidance. The authoritative guidance requires that such contingencies be recognized at fair value on the acquisition date if fair value can be reasonably estimated during the allocation period. This authoritative guidance will be effective for us in fiscal 2010. We expect that this authoritative guidance will have minimal impact on our consolidated financial statements, but the nature and magnitude of the specific effects will depend upon the nature, term and size of the acquired contingencies.

In December 2008, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on employer’s disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. We will comply with this authoritative guidance in fiscal 2010.
 
In December 2007, the FASB revised the authoritative guidance on business combinations, including the measurement of acquirer shares issued in consideration for a business combination, the recognition of contingent consideration, the accounting for preacquisition gain and loss contingencies, the recognition of capitalized in-process research and development, the accounting for acquisition-related restructuring cost accruals, the treatment of acquisition-related transaction costs, and the recognition of changes in the acquirer’s income tax valuation allowance. This authoritative guidance will be effective for us in fiscal 2010, with early adoption prohibited. We expect that this authoritative guidance will have an impact on our consolidated financial statements, but the nature and magnitude of the specific effects will depend upon the nature, terms and size of any acquisitions we may consummate after the effective date.

In December 2007, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on noncontrolling interests, which changes the accounting for noncontrolling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements, including the requirements to classify noncontrolling interests as a component of consolidated stockholders’ equity, and the elimination of “minority interest” accounting in results of operations with earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests reported as part of consolidated earnings. Additionally, this authoritative guidance revises the accounting for both increases and decreases in a parent’s controlling ownership interest. This authoritative guidance will be effective for us in
 
23

 
fiscal 2010, with early adoption prohibited. We are evaluating the potential impact of the implementation of this authoritative guidance on our financial position or results of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 7A.       Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not required.

Item 8.          Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

See the pages beginning with F-1.

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

On October 28, 2008, we appointed Cordovano and Honeck, LLP (“Cordovano”) as our registered independent public accountant for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008.  On October 28, 2008, we dismissed Gordon, Hughes & Banks, LLP (“GH&B”) as our registered independent public accountant.  The decisions to appoint Cordovano and dismiss GH&B were approved by our Board of Directors on October 28, 2008.

During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and through the subsequent interim period up through the date of dismissal (October 28, 2008), there were no disagreements with GH&B on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of GH&B, would have caused GH&B to make reference thereto in its report on our financial statements for such years.  Further, there were no reportable events as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurring within our two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period up through the date of dismissal (October 28, 2008).

During our two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period up through the date of engagement of Cordovano (October 28, 2008), neither we nor anyone on our behalf consulted Cordovano regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, or any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.  Further, Cordovano did not provide us with written or oral advice that was an important factor that we considered in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues.

We provided a copy of the foregoing disclosures to GH&B prior to the date of the filing of our report on Form 8-K and requested that GH&B furnish us with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agreed with the statements in this disclosure.  A copy of the letter furnished in response to that request was filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the Form 8-K filed November 3, 2008.

Item 9A.       Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange
 
 
24

 
Act, requires us to carry out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2009, being the date of our most recently completed fiscal year end.  This evaluation was implemented under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.  Based on this evaluation, these officers have concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our board of directors and audit committee are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of our consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer completed their assessments of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 15d-(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2009, and therefore, are able to assert that, as of September 30, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).  It should be noted that a control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can only provide reasonable assurance, not absolute assurance, that the objectives of the control system are met.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the period covered by this annual report, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

No other directorships are held by each director in any company with a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any company registered as an investment company, under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Audit Committee

Douglas A. Miller and Carlyle Griffin serve on the Audit Committee of our board of directors.  Douglas A. Miller is considered our audit committee financial expert and is independent.

Conflicts of Interest

One of our two non-officer directors, Carlyle Griffin, is associated with other firms involved in a range of business activities.  Consequently, there are potential inherent conflicts of interest in his acting as a director of our company.  While this director is engaged in other business activities, we anticipate that such activities will not interfere in any significant fashion with the affairs of our business, in terms of having adequate time to devote to the business of the company.  Mr. Griffin devotes less than 10% of his working time in his role as a director.  All of our officers devote 100% of their working time to V2K.

Our officers and directors are now and may in the future become shareholders, officers or directors of other companies, which may be formed for the purpose of engaging in business activities similar to us.  Accordingly, additional direct conflicts of interest may arise in the future with respect to such individuals acting on behalf of us or other entities.  Moreover, additional conflicts of interest may arise with respect to opportunities which come to the attention of such individuals in the performance of their duties or otherwise.  Currently, we do not have a right of first refusal pertaining to opportunities that come to their attention and may relate to our business operations.

Our officers and directors are, so long as they are our officers or directors, subject to the restriction that all opportunities contemplated by our plan of operation which come to their attention, either in the performance of their duties or in any other manner, will be considered opportunities of, and be made available to us and the companies that they are affiliated with on an equal basis.  A breach of this requirement will be a breach of the fiduciary duties of the officer or director.  If we or the companies with which the officers and directors are affiliated both desire to take advantage of an opportunity, then said officers and directors would abstain from negotiating and voting upon the opportunity.  However, all directors may still individually take advantage of opportunities if we should decline to do so.  Except as set forth above, we have not adopted any other conflict of interest policy with respect to such transactions.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.

27

 
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
 

Since we do not have a class of equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, we are not subject to the requirements of Section 16 of that Act.

Item 11.           Executive Compensation

The following table sets forth information about the remuneration of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer (“Named Officers”) for services rendered during the years ended September 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007.  None of our other executive officers had total compensation of $100,000 or more.  Certain columns as required by the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission have been omitted as no information was required to be disclosed under those columns.

Mr. Kukuchka resigned as our Chief Financial Officer in December 2009.

Mr. Yosha was originally granted options to purchase 52,000 shares by V2K Window Fashions in July 2004.  Upon the reorganization of V2K Window Fashions into V2K International in April 2006, these options were replaced with options to purchase common stock of V2K International on comparable terms.  At the time of the replacement, options to purchase 20,000 shares had vested, options to purchase 16,000 shares vested in July 2006, and options to purchase 16,000 shares vested in July 2007.

On August 9, 2007, we designated options to purchase 667 shares at $6.25 per share, that had previously been granted and reserved for anticipated growth, to Mr. Yosha.  286 of these options had already vested, 95 vested on July 9, 2008, 96 vested on July 9, 2009, and the remaining 190 vest one-half each annually beginning July 9, 2010.  These options are exercisable until July 9, 2014.
 
There were no grants of plan-based awards to either of the Named Officers during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009.

Mr. Kukuchka resigned as our Chief Financial Officer in December 2009.
 
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, there were no exercises of stock options by the Named Officers.
 
Compensation of Directors

Each of our non-employee directors receives reimbursement for expenses of attendance for each scheduled meeting that requires physical attendance.  We did not compensate any of our directors during the last completed fiscal year.

Employment Agreements

We do not have employment agreements with any of our executive officers.  We do not have any contract, agreement, plan or arrangement, whether written or unwritten, that provides for payment(s) to a named executive officer at, following, or in connection with any termination, including without limitation resignation, severance, retirement or a constructive termination of a named executive officer, or a change in control of our company or a change in the named executive officer's responsibilities.
 
Stock Option Plan

Our shareholders adopted the 2006 Stock Option Plan on March 31, 2006 that permits the granting of options to purchase up to 240,000 shares.  Options may be granted to officers, directors, employees, and consultants on a case-by-case basis.  This Plan will remain in effect until it is terminated by the board of directors or, if so appointed by the board, a committee of two or more disinterested directors administering the Plan, except that no incentive stock option will be granted after March 31, 2016.

The 2006 Stock Option Plan is intended to (i) encourage ownership of shares by our employees and directors of and certain consultants to the company; (ii) induce them to work for the benefit of the company; and (iii) provide additional incentive for such persons to promote the success of the company.
 
29

The board of directors or committee may amend, suspend or discontinue the Plan at any time or from time to time; provided that no action of the board will cause incentive stock options granted under this Plan not to comply with Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code unless the board specifically declares such action to be made for that purpose and provided further that without the approval of our shareholders, no such action may: (i) materially increase the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued under options granted pursuant to the Plan, (ii) materially increase the benefits accruing to Plan participants, or (iii) materially modify eligibility requirements for the participants.  Moreover, no such action may alter or impair any option previously granted under the Plan without the consent of the holder of such option.

The Plan contains provisions for proportionate adjustment of the number of shares for outstanding options and the option price per share in the event of stock dividends, recapitalizations, stock splits or combinations.

Each option granted under the Plan will be evidenced by a written option agreement between us and the optionee.  The option price of any incentive stock option or non-qualified option may be not less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant of the option; provided, however, that any incentive stock option granted to a person owning more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of the common stock will have an option price of not less than 110% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant.  “Fair Market Value” per share as of a particular date is defined in the Plan as the closing price of our common stock as reported on a national securities exchange or the last transaction price on the reporting system or, if none, the average of the closing bid and asked prices of our common stock in the over-the-counter market or, if such quotations are unavailable, the value determined by the board in its discretion in good faith.

The exercise period of incentive stock options or non-qualified options granted under the Plan may not exceed ten years from the date of grant thereof.  Incentive stock options granted to a person owning more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of our common stock will be for no more than five years.

To exercise an option, the optionee must pay the full exercise price in cash, by check or such other legal consideration as may be approved by the Committee.  Such other consideration may consist of shares of common stock having a fair market value equal to the option price, cashless exercise, a personal recourse note, or in a combination of cash, shares, cashless exercise and a note, subject to approval of the Committee.

An option may not be exercised unless the optionee then is an employee, consultant, officer, or director of our company or its subsidiaries, and unless the optionee has remained continuously as an employee, consultant, officer, or director of our company since the date of grant of the option.  If the optionee ceases to be an employee, consultant, officer, or director of our company or its subsidiaries other than by reason of death, disability, or for cause, all options granted to such optionee, fully vested to such optionee but not yet exercised, will terminate three months after the date the optionee ceases to be an employee, consultant, officer or director of our company.

If the employee is terminated “for cause” (as that term is defined in the Plan), such employee’s options will terminate immediately on the date the optionee ceases employment or association.

If an optionee dies while an employee, consultant, officer or director of our company, or if the optionee’s employment, consultant, officer, or director status terminates by reason of disability, all options theretofore granted to such optionee, whether or not otherwise exercisable, unless earlier terminated in accordance with their terms, may be exercised at any time within one year after the date of death or disability of said optionee, by the optionee or by the optionee’s estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise such options by bequest or inheritance or otherwise by reason of the death or disability of the optionee.

As of September 30, 2009, 226,160 options were outstanding under the Plan.

Item 13.        Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

None of our present directors, officers or principal shareholders, nor any family member of the foregoing, nor, to the best of our information and belief, any of our former directors, officers or principal shareholders, nor any family member of such former directors, officers or principal shareholders, has or had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or in any proposed transaction which has materially affected or will materially affect us.

Bridge Loans.  At September 30, 2008 and 2007, we owed Messrs. Beckstead, Yosha and Wittenbrink $453,413, $408,681 and $77,360, respectively, for loans made to us.  For the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, we did not pay interest to Messrs. Beckstead, Yosha and Wittenbrink..

On September 30, 2008, we consolidated and restructured amounts loaned to us by Messrs. Beckstead, Wittenbrink, and Yosha from January 2008 through September 2008.  The amounts had been loaned primarily as demand notes with interest at 12% per annum.

The new notes are secured by the assets of V2K Technology and mature June 30, 2009, subject to a three-month extension at our option. Interest is paid semi-annually and accrues at the rate of 12% per annum.  The notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at any time at the option of the holder at 90% of the volume-weighted average price for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion, subject to a floor price of $18.75.

32

For each dollar that has been loaned, we issued two redeemable common stock purchase warrants, one of which is exercisable at $18.75 per share for two years and one of which is exercisable at $31.25 for three years.  Each warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of common stock.

Accordingly, we issued new notes and warrants as follows:

Lender
Amount of new note
Number of $18.75 warrants
Number of $31.25 warrants
Gordon E. Beckstead
$360,413
2,883
2,883
R.J. Wittenbrink
$52,359
419

Victor J. Yosha
$318,681
2,550
2,550

Bank Guarantees.  In August 2007, we established a line of credit with a commercial bank in the amount of $250,000.  The line of credit is collateralized with a security interest in the personal property of V2K Window Fashions.  In addition, Messrs. Beckstead, Wittenbrink and Yosha have personally guaranteed 125% of the amount.  At September 30, 2009 and 2008, we had drawn $240,000 and $250,000, respectively, against the line of credit.

Future Transactions.  All future affiliated transactions will be made or entered into on terms that are no less favorable to us than those that can be obtained from any unaffiliated third party.  A majority of the independent, disinterested members of our board of directors will approve future affiliated transactions.

Director Independence

As of the date of this report, our common stock is not listed on an exchange. As such, we are not
currently subject to corporate governance standards of listed companies, which require, among other things, that the majority of the board of directors be independent.  Since we are not currently subject to corporate governance standards relating to the independence of our directors, we choose to define an “independent” director in accordance with the NASDAQ Global Market’s requirements for independent directors (NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200). The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not an employee of the company and has not engaged in various types of business dealings with the company.

Douglas A. Miller and Carlyle Griffin are considered independent directors under the above definition.  We do not list that definition on our Internet website.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Director and Shareholders
V2K International, Inc.
Lakewood, Colorado


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of V2K International, Inc. as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.  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 audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 audits 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 purpose 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 amounts and disclosures in the 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 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 V2K International, Inc. as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses, has a working capital deficit at September 30, 2009, and has an accumulated deficit of $4,160,121 as of September 30, 2009.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION
 
V2K International, Inc. (“International”) was incorporated as a Colorado corporation on March 13, 2006. The Company, through its subsidiary companies, V2K Window Fashions, Inc., V2K Technology, Inc., V2K Manufacturing, Inc. and Marketing Source International, LLC, sells and supports franchises in the residential and commercial window fashion industry, and develops and licenses software that allows users to decorate windows for both residential and commercial customers.
 
International and subsidiaries are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Company”.

In April 2006, International, in a share for share exchange, acquired all issued and outstanding shares of Window’s preferred and common stock.  Shares of Window’s preferred and common stocks were exchanged for shares of common stock in International on a 1 for 35 basis and 1 for 10 basis, respectively. Windows sells and supports franchises in the residential and commercial window fashion industry.  Franchisees sell and install window treatments for retail and commercial clients using software licensed from Technology, training manuals, policies, procedures and knowledge.  Franchisees are located throughout the United States, in three Canadian provinces and in Aruba.
 
In April 2006, Windows transferred legal ownership of Manufacturing and the related equity interest to International.  Windows had acquired Manufacturing in January 2004.
 
In July 2006, in order to further protect the intellectual property associated with the software and to facilitate future licensing agreements, the software and software development team formerly held by Windows were spun-off to form V2K Technology, Inc. Technology is a wholly owned subsidiary of International, and licenses a customized window fashions franchise software to Windows.

In April 2007, the Company formed MSI to generate revenues by acting as a product development resource and sales agent for overseas window covering manufacturers. MSI is a wholly owned subsidiary of International.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
In December of 2009, the Company reverse split its common stock 1:125, without amending its articles of incorporation to reduce the number of authorized shares (see Note 14). The number of shares of common stock, warrants and stock options, and their respective prices, have been retroactively adjusted in these financial statements to reflect the reverse stock split.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.  The Company has incurred net losses since inception, and as of September 30, 2009, had an accumulated deficit of $4,160,121.  These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

FRANCHISE OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
 
Reacquired Franchise Rights

The Company occasionally reacquires the rights to a franchise territory. When this occurs the Company contracts with the franchisee to reacquire the territory for a specified amount that can consist of cash, a note payable, and/or forgiveness of debt. While these territories provide benefits to the Company, they lack physical substance, thus, under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350 (Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”), the Company records reacquired franchise rights as intangible assets at fair value. Fair value is established as the total amount of consideration that changed hands, not to exceed the estimated resale amount of the territory less all related costs of sales. The Company has concluded that reacquired territories have indeterminate lives, so the resulting intangible assets are not amortized. When reacquired territories are resold, the intangible assets are offset against the cost of the sale, and the related carrying value is reduced. The Company assesses impairment of intangible assets on an annual basis. If any impairment is found, the carrying amount of the asset is written down to the fair value.  In the twelve months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 the Company reacquired franchise rights from zero and two franchisees, respectively.

Repossessed Franchises

The Company has the right to repossess (cancel) franchises. When this occurs the Company cancels a franchise agreement and takes the franchise territory back from the franchisee. The Company cancels franchises for failure to abide by the terms and conditions of franchise agreements, and for failure to meet minimum performance standards pursuant to franchise agreements. Occasionally, franchisees voluntarily surrender their territories. No consideration is exchanged in these situations, and none of the franchise fee is refunded, thus under ASC Topic 952 (SFAS No. 45, “Accounting for Franchise Fee Revenue”), no fair value is assigned to these transactions.  In the twelve months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company repossessed 38 and 29 franchises, respectively.

REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
 
Initial franchise fees are recognized upon the commencement of operations by the franchisee, which is when the Company has performed substantially all initial services required by the franchise agreement. Unearned income represents franchise fees received for which the Company has not completed its initial obligations under the franchise agreement. Such obligations, consisting mostly of training, are generally fulfilled within 60 days of receipt of the initial franchise fee. Royalties and advertising fees are recognized as earned.
 
Effective June 15, 2009, the Company amended the terms of its vendor agreements, which resulted in the company changing its revenue recognition policy with regard to sales of materials and supplies. The following is a discussion of the Company’s revenue recognition policy before and after June 15, 2009.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
REVENUE RECOGNITION (CONTINUED)
 
Prior to June 15, 2009 the Company’s franchisees placed all orders for materials and supplies with the Company. The Company reviewed each proposed purchase order to determine whether the products could be made as requested, made any necessary changes, and then placed the corresponding orders with its vendors. Accordingly, the Company determined all product specifications. While the products were shipped directly to the franchisees by the vendors, the Company received title to the shipped items and had the physical risk of loss upon shipment.  The Company was liable to the vendors for payment and collected the amounts due for the goods from the franchisees. The Company negotiated all pricing with the vendors and had the ability to establish rebate programs with vendors, mark-ups or any other method of creating margin. In addition, the Company was responsible to the franchisees for goods shipped by the vendors that did not meet specifications. The Company had discretion in supplier selection. Thus, the Company acted as a principal as defined in ASC Topic 605 (Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”), Issue 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent”). Revenue from materials and supplies sales was recorded upon shipment to the franchisee by the vendor and represented approximately 77% of total revenue for the year ended September 30, 2009, and 73% of total revenue for the year ended September 30, 2008.
 
As of June 15, 2009, the Company’s franchisees no longer place all orders for materials and supplies with the Company, and are billed directly by the Company’s vendors. The Company only reviews orders submitted to it for its supported vendors, to determine whether the products can be made as requested, make any necessary changes, and then places the corresponding orders with the supported vendors. Accordingly, the Company determines product specifications for supported vendors only.  The products are shipped directly to the franchisees by the vendors, and the franchisee receives title to the shipped items and has the physical risk of loss upon shipment.  The franchisee is billed directly by the vendor and is now liable to the vendor for payment. The Company still negotiates all pricing with its supported vendors, and has the ability to establish rebate programs with these vendors. The Company is no longer responsible to its franchisees for goods shipped by the supported vendors that did not meet specifications, but does maintain discretion in supplier selection. Thus, the Company no longer acts as a principal as defined in ASC Topic 605 (EITF, Issue 99-19), and therefore no longer reports revenues from sales of materials and supplies. This change has no material impact on the net income of the Company, but does reduce the sales of materials and supplies and cost of those materials and supplies by the same amount. The amount of reduced gross sales and cost of these sales from June 15 – September 30, 2009 was approximately $756,000.
 
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
 
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation of equipment is provided by use of the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets of three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the lease. Expenditures for replacements, renewals and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
 
INTANGIBLE ASSET IMPAIRMENT
 
Intangible assets consist of reacquired franchise rights from the repurchase of franchise territories. The Company has determined that reacquired franchise rights have indefinite lives and are not subject to amortization.  Intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may be impaired. As of September 30, 2009,  impairment of $73,409 has been recorded.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
 
The Company has adopted ASC Topic 360 (SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”), which requires that long-lived assets to be held and used be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company will assess the recoverability of the carrying cost of long-lived assets based on a review of projected undiscounted cash flows related to the asset held for use.  If assets are determined to be impaired, then the asset will be written down to its fair value based on the present value of the discounted cash flows of the related asset or other relevant measures. As of September 30, 2009, impairment of $73,409 has been recorded.

ADVERTISING COSTS
 
 
The Company expenses all costs of advertising as incurred. Total advertising expense for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $74,058 and $123,282, respectively. Advertising expense does not include expenditures on behalf of franchisees from the National/Regional/Local Advertising Fund (see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Cash Equivalents).
 
INCOME TAXES
 
 
The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 740 (SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”), which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
 
Temporary differences between the time of reporting certain items for financial and tax reporting purposes consist primarily of depreciation of equipment and allowance for uncollectible receivables.
 
USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 985 (SFAS 86, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed”), which requires capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility. Based on the Company’s product development process, technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model. Since the Company does not incur any costs between the completion of the working model and the point at which the product is ready for general release, all research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Research and development expenses for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $158,538 and $317,891, respectively.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

ASC Topic 810 (Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation 46 (revised 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”) requires the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity to consolidate that entity.  The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is the party that absorbs a majority of the variable interest entity’s expected losses, receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, or both, because of ownership, contractual or other financial interests in the entity.

The primary entities which the Company evaluates for variable interest are franchise entities, which operate the franchised window fashion businesses.  The Company does not possess any ownership interests in franchise entities. The Company does not generally provide financial support to the franchises.  Management has reviewed the franchise entities and determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the entities, and therefore, these entities have not been consolidated.

INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities only when such conversion, exercise or issuance would have a dilutive effect on income per share. The dilutive effect of convertible securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the “as if converted method.” The dilutive effect of outstanding options and warrants and their equivalents is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method.

For the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, 282,294 and 281,939 outstanding options and warrants, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share as the effect of the assumed exercise and conversions would be anti-dilutive.

SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

Effective October 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions to ASC Topics 505 and 718 (SFAS 123(R)), using the modified-prospective transition method.  Under that transition method, employee compensation cost of $37,833 and $83,057 was recognized in the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Results from prior periods have not been restated. The Company has elected to use the simplified method of calculating the expected term of the stock options to compute fair value under the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 
CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers as cash equivalents all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. At September 30, 2009 and 2008, there were no cash equivalents.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The Company maintains an allowance for potential losses based on its estimate of uncollectible accounts. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its franchisees and has not required collateral or other forms of security for product sales or franchisee fees. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts increased by $33,803 from September 30, 2008 to September 30, 2009.

SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEES AND COSTS

All amounts billed to a customer in a sales transaction related to shipping and handling represent revenues earned and are reported as revenue, and the costs incurred by the Company for shipping and handling are reported as an expense in cost of materials and supplies.

FAIR VALUE

The carrying amount reported on the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

The carrying amounts of notes receivable approximate fair value as the effective rates for those instruments are comparable to market rates at year end.

Based upon the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of long-term debt approximates its carrying value.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash, trade accounts receivable and notes receivable.

The Company maintains cash accounts at a single financial institution. At September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had no deposits in excess of the federally insured amount. The Company periodically evaluates the credit worthiness of financial institutions, and maintains cash accounts only in large high quality financial institutions, thereby minimizing exposure for deposits in excess of federally insured amounts. The Company believes that credit risk associated with cash is minimal.

The Company has recorded trade accounts receivable from business operations. The Company periodically evaluates the collectibility of trade receivables and has provided an allowance for potentially uncollectible accounts.

The Company has recorded notes receivable from business operations.  The Company periodically evaluates the collectibility of its notes receivable and has provided an allowance for potentially uncollectible notes.

For the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, approximately 77% and 69%, respectively, of materials and supplies were acquired from three major vendors, the largest vendor’s activity representing 46% and 38%, respectively, of the total. The related accounts payable to the largest vendor was approximately $208,078 as of September 30, 2009, and $291,131 as of September 30, 2008.

SEGMENT REPORTING
 
ASC Topic 280 (SFAS 131, “Disclosures about Segment Reporting of an Enterprise and Related Information”), establishes standards for the way public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosure about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company and its subsidiaries operate in five industry segments, as disclosed in Note 10.

RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for revenue recognition with multiple deliverables. This authoritative guidance impacts the determination of when the individual deliverables included in a multiple-element arrangement may be treated as separate units of accounting. Additionally, this guidance modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables by no longer permitting the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration. The Company will adopt this authoritative guidance prospectively commencing in its first quarter of fiscal 2010. The implementation is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for the accounting for certain revenue arrangements that include software elements. This authoritative guidance amends the scope of pre-existing software revenue guidance by removing from the guidance non-software components of tangible products and certain software components of tangible products. The Company will adopt this authoritative guidance prospectively commencing in its first quarter of fiscal 2010. The implementation is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on variable interest entities, which becomes effective the first annual reporting period after November 15, 2009 and will be effective for the Company in fiscal 2011. This authoritative guidance requires revised evaluations of whether entities represent variable interest entities, ongoing assessments of control over such entities, and additional disclosures for variable interests. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of the implementation of this authoritative guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”), which officially commenced July 1, 2009, to become the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities.  Rules and interpretive releases of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants. All other accounting literature excluded from the Codification will be considered non-authoritative.  The Codification is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company has adopted this new standard.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)

In April 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on accounting for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies, which amends the provisions related to the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination under previously issued guidance. The authoritative guidance requires that such contingencies be recognized at fair value on the acquisition date if fair value can be reasonably estimated during the allocation period. This authoritative guidance will be effective for the Company in fiscal 2010. The Company expects that this authoritative guidance will have minimal impact on its consolidated financial statements, but the nature and magnitude of the specific effects will depend upon the nature, term and size of the acquired contingencies.

In December 2008, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on employer’s disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. The Company will comply with this authoritative guidance in fiscal 2010.

In December 2007, the FASB revised the authoritative guidance on business combinations, including the measurement of acquirer shares issued in consideration for a business combination, the recognition of contingent consideration, the accounting for preacquisition gain and loss contingencies, the recognition of capitalized in-process research and development, the accounting for acquisition-related restructuring cost accruals, the treatment of acquisition-related transaction costs, and the recognition of changes in the acquirer’s income tax valuation allowance. This authoritative guidance will be effective for the Company in fiscal 2010, with early adoption prohibited. The Company expects that this authoritative guidance will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements, but the nature and magnitude of the specific effects will depend upon the nature, terms and size of the acquisitions it consummates after the effective date.

In December 2007, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on noncontrolling interests, which changes the accounting for noncontrolling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements, including the requirements to classify noncontrolling interests as a component of consolidated stockholders’ equity, and the elimination of “minority interest” accounting in results of operations with earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests reported as part of consolidated earnings. Additionally, this authoritative guidance revises the accounting for both increases and decreases in a parent’s controlling ownership interest. This authoritative guidance will be effective for the Company in fiscal 2010, with early adoption prohibited. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of the implementation of this authoritative guidance on its financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 4 – NOTE PAYABLE – OTHER

In October 2008, the Company entered into an agreement amending the payment schedule of the promissory note carried on the consolidated financial statements as “note payable-other.” The amendment abated the October, November and December 2008 payments for 90 days, with the next payment being due January 1, 2009. The interest continued to accrue during the abatement period and was due and payable in addition to the monthly payment on January 1, 2009. All other terms and conditions of the note remained in full force and effect.
 
Note payable – other at September 30, 2009 and 2008 consists of the currently deferred portion of the Company’s monthly rent obligation under an office lease entered into effective September 15, 2002. Under the terms of the lease, the landlord has deferred a portion of the monthly rent aggregating $140,000 over the period September 15, 2002 to August 15, 2007. The deferred portion is evidenced by a non-interest bearing promissory note. The Company accretes the deferred portion of the monthly rent utilizing an imputed interest rate of 5.75%. The balance at September 30, 2009 and 2008 of $32,746 and $34,005, respectively, represents the accretion of the note. The note decreased $1,259 during the year ended September 30, 2009.  The note decreased by $105,995 during the year ended September 30, 2008.
 
Future minimum payments under the terms of the note are as follows:
 
Year ending September 30, 2009
$       32,746
 
NOTE 5 – LINE OF CREDIT
 
In August 2007, the Company opened a line of credit with a commercial bank in the amount of $250,000. The line of credit is collateralized with a first priority security interest in the personal property of Windows ($715,957 carrying value of collateral at September 30, 2009), and up to 125% of the amount is personally guaranteed by officers of the Company (see Note 14). Interest on the outstanding principal balance accrues at the Prime Rate, as set by the bank, and is payable monthly.
 
At September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had drawn $240,000 and $250,000, respectively against the line of credit.
 
 
NOTE 6 – NOTES PAYABLE – RELATED PARTIES
 
In June of 2009, three officers and directors of the Company loaned it $208,001 in the form of demand promissory notes. The demand notes carry interest at 12% per annum.
 
On September 30, 2008 the Company consolidated and restructured $731,453 in amounts previously loaned to the Company by three officers and directors.  The amounts had been loaned to the Company primarily as demand notes with interest at 12% per annum. The new notes are secured by the assets of V2K Technology, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and mature nine months from date of issuance, subject to a three-month extension at the option of the Company.  Interest is paid semi-annually and accrues at the rate of 12% per annum.  The notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at the option of the holder at 90% of the volume weighted average price for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion, subject to a floor price of $18.75.

NOTE 6 – NOTES PAYABLE – RELATED PARTIES (CONTINUED)
 
Also, for each dollar that was loaned, the Company issued two redeemable common stock purchase warrants, one exercisable at $18.75 per share for two years the other exercisable at $31.25 per share for three years. Each warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of common stock. The calculated value of these warrants issued was $8,946 which was recorded as interest expense in these consolidated financial statements. The calculation was determined using methods prescribed by SFAS 123, and using the Black-Scholes warrant pricing model with the following assumptions: expected option life of 1.0 and 1.5 years, risk-free interest rate of 2.0% and 2.28%, and volatility of 85% and 93%. No beneficial conversion on these warrants exists because the quoted market rate of the stock was below the “floor” conversion rate on September 30, 2009.
 
Notes payable to related parties increased by $309,904 during the year ended September 30, 2009.
 
 
NOTE 7 – DEFERRED RENT
 
In July 2007, the Company entered into a non-cancelable lease for office facilities. The lease agreement contained a tenant improvement allowance of $108,570, of which the Company had capitalized $91,990 as leasehold improvements. The unused amount of $16,580 was used as rent reduction for February and March 2008, in the amounts of $14,024 and $2,556, respectively. The Company recognized a deferred rent liability for the utilized tenant improvement allowances within other long-term liabilities and amortized these amounts over the term of the lease as a reduction of rent expense. The lease also contained a rent escalation clause. The Company recorded rental expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.  Total deferred rent at September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $0 and $163,346, respectively.
 
In November 2009, the Company entered into a mutual termination and release with its landlord, and was released entirely from its lease obligations, which resulted in a gain on liability extinguishment of $104,684. The termination and release is reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
 
Rent expense for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $130,501 and $147,948, respectively.
 
 
NOTE 8 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

STOCK OPTION PLAN (CONTINUED)
 
As September 30, 2009, there was $17,216 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested options granted under the plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over the next 9 months.

In the year ended September 30, 2009, 800 new options were issued under the Plan.
 
The calculated value of stock options granted under the Plan, following calculation methods prescribed by ASC Topics 505 and 718 (SFAS 123), uses the Black-Scholes stock option pricing model with the following assumptions:

NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES
 
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740 (SFAS 109), which requires use of the liability method. ASC Topic 740 (SFAS 109), provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences.
 
 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the currently effective tax rates applied to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be settled or realized. The reconciliation of enacted rates the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 is as follows:

   
2009
   
2008
 
             
    Federal
    34%       34%

    Net operating loss carryforward
    -       -  
    Increase in valuation allowance
    (38% )     (38% )
      -       -  

 
At September 30, 2009, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $3,535,000 that may be offset against future taxable income subject to limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. This carryforward is subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service and, if allowed, may be offset against taxable income through 2028.  A portion of the net operating loss carryovers begin expiring in 2019.

NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
 
 
Deferred tax assets are as follows:

   
2009
   
2008
 
Deferred tax asset due to net operating loss
  $ 1,343,000     $ 1,036,000  
Valuation allowance
    (1,343,000 )     (1,036,000 )
      -       -  
 
 
The deferred tax asset relates principally to the net operating loss carryforward. A valuation allowance was established at September 30, 2009 and 2008 to eliminate the deferred tax benefit that existed at that time since it is uncertain if the tax benefit will be realized. The deferred tax asset (and the related valuation allowance) increased by $307,000 and $337,000 for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

 
The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 740 (FASB Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, an interpretation of SFAS No. 109). As a result of the implementation of ASC Topic 740 (FIN 48), the Company had no changes in the carrying value of its tax assets or liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits.

NOTE 10 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

 
The Company and its subsidiaries (see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Organization), operate in five industry segments. Parent Holding (International) provides the corporate vehicle for raising capital for the subsidiaries and fulfills the Company’s existence as a public reporting company; Windows sells and supports franchises in the residential and commercial window fashion industry; Technology develops and licenses proprietary software that allows users to decorate windows for both residential and commercial customers; Manufacturing and MSI do not have operations as of September 30, 2009.

 
Identified assets by industry are those assets that are used in our operations in each industry.  The Company’s assets are principally cash, accounts receivable and equipment.

 
The Company has adopted ASC Topic 280 (SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”), which requires the presentation of descriptive information about reportable segments which is consistent with that made available to the management of the Company to assess performance.

 
Windows derives its revenues from sales of franchises, royalty and sales of materials and supplies to franchisees.  Manufacturing received its income from the sale of labor on soft product window treatments to Window’s franchisees, but has no operations as of September 30, 2009. MSI received its revenues by acting as a product development resource and sales agent for overseas window covering manufacturers, but has no operations as of September 30, 2009.

During the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, inter-segment revenues were $124,792 and $407,771, respectively.  The accounting policies applied by each segment are the same as those used by the Company in general. Inter-segment revenues are appropriately eliminated in consolidation.

 
There have been no material changes in the amount of assets of any operating segment since the last annual report.
