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
6
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.
7
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:

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.

The
franchisee must reimburse us for any liability and costs incurred by us by

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.
18
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:

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.
21
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.

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
22
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.

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.

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.

The term
of office of each director ends at the next annual meeting of our shareholders
or when such director’s successor is elected and qualifies. The term
of office of each officer ends at the next annual meeting of our board of
directors, expected to take place immediately after the next annual meeting of
shareholders, or when such officer’s successor is elected and
qualifies. Our last annual meeting of shareholders was held on March
18, 2009 in Lakewood, Colorado. We have not made any changes to the
procedures by which shareholders may recommend nominees to our board of
directors.
Victor J. Yosha has been our
president and chief executive officer and a director since the inception of V2K
Window Fashions in July 1996. From 1994 to 1999, Mr. Yosha served
initially as a consultant to, and later as the chief executive officer of,
Pictures and Prices Corporation, a private corporation owned and controlled by
Robert and Lynda Leo. Pictures and Prices Corporation developed and
distributed proprietary software technology for the window fashion
industry. From 1988 to 1994, Mr. Yosha and was president and chairman
of Seattle Office Systems, Inc., a company which he co-founded to sell and
service office equipment. Seattle Office Systems eventually grew to
80 employees with revenues in excess of $6,000,000 annually and was sold to a
company now known as Danka Business Systems PLC. In 1970, Mr. Yosha
co-founded American Office Equipment Company, Denver, Colorado, which sold and
serviced office equipment. He was president of that company until
1987. That company eventually grew to 300 employees with annual
revenues in excess of $25,000,000 and was one of the largest distributors of
Minolta Copier products in the world.
Gordon E. Beckstead has been
our chairman of the board of directors since May 2001, and our interim chief
financial officer since December 2009. He has been a business
consultant since December 1984, providing financing and management
advice. From June 1984 to December 1986, Mr. Beckstead was the
chairman of ATE, Inc., a long distance reseller based in Las Vegas, Nevada, with
operations in Nevada, Idaho, Washington, and California. In addition,
he was a director of Citizens National Bank of Boise, Idaho, from April 1981 to
December 1986. From 1977 to 1984, Mr. Beckstead was a partner in an
accounting firm which he founded. Prior to 1977 he was a partner in
the international accounting firm then known as Deloitte Haskins &
Sells. He received a bachelor’s degree from Utah State University in
1959.
Samuel Smith has been our
executive vice president and chief operating officer since February
2008. From March 2006 to February 2008 he was our vice
president. From November 2001 to March 2006, he was our chief
financial officer. Mr. Smith came to us in November 2001 from the
Horizons Real Estate Group, where he concentrated on brokering commercial loans,
strategic planning, and website development. From 1997 to 2000, Mr.
Smith owned and operated a small business consulting firm that specialized in
writing business plans and financing proposals for start-up
entities. Mr. Smith received his bachelor’s degrees in economics and
political science from Middlebury College in 1988, and an MBA from the Johnson
Graduate School of Management at Cornell University in 1996.
R. J. Wittenbrink has been
our secretary and general counsel since our inception and a director since April
1997. Mr. Wittenbrink has been practicing law in the Denver, Colorado
area since 1963. During the last 25 years, he has concentrated both
as an attorney and principal in the formation and operation of small business
and real estate development. Mr. Wittenbrink received a bachelor’s
degree from St. Louis University in 1959 and a juris doctor law degree from the
University of Denver in 1963.
26
Carlyle Griffin has been a
director since October 2006. Since his “retirement” in 1999, Mr.
Griffin has started his own consulting firm and remains active in the business
community. During a thirty-one year career at IBM he held numerous
marketing and marketing management positions, and managed a multi-state area for
IBM Credit Corporation. Mr. Griffin received his Bachelor of Science
degree in Business Management from Penn State University in 1966, and an MBA
from Penn Sate University in 1968.
Douglas A. Miller, C.P.A.,
has been a director since January 2008. He graduated from the
University of Colorado at Denver with a degree in Accounting in
1974. After working several years in private industry as an
accountant and controller in the areas of manufacturing and real estate, he
joined the firm of Swanson,
Miller, and Associates, PC of Lakewood, Colorado, and has been a partner
there since 1981. He practices in the areas of tax return
preparation, tax planning and compliance, estate planning, advisory services for
business and individual owners, litigation support, retirement plan
administration and financial statement review and analysis. Mr.
Miller is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and
the Colorado Society of Certified Public Accountants.
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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

NOTE
1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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.

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.

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.

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.

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,

enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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
$38,223 and $83,057 was recognized in the years ended September 30, 2009 and
2008 which includes: (i) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted
prior to, but not yet vested as of October 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair
value; and (ii) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted
subsequent to October 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair value. Results from
prior periods have not been restated.

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

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:

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.

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.

(see Note 1-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Organization) to a
third party. The company accepted a promissory note in the amount of $13,827,
bearing interest at 8%, with twenty-four monthly payments of $625 commencing in
February 2008. All financial statement reporting for Manufacturing for the 12
month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 is included in these
consolidated financial statements. The sale of the assets resulted in a net loss
of $7,874. Manufacturing has not been classified as a discontinued operation in
these consolidated financial statements as it continues as a legal entity and
wholly owned subsidiary of the company, and has been included in the segment
reporting footnote (see Note 10). Manufacturing has no operations as of
September 30, 2009.

During
the year ended September 30, 2008 the Company consolidated and restructured
$731,453 in amounts previously loaned to the Company by three officers and

stock at any time at the option of the holder. For each dollar that was loaned,
the Company issued two redeemable common stock purchase warrants. Each warrant
is exercisable to purchase one share of common stock (see Note 6).

14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In
October 2009, a commercial bank called the Company’s line of credit (see Note
5), and the $240,000 balance was converted to a promissory note. The
promissory note calls for payments of $1,250 per month plus interest at the
Prime Rate, as set by the bank, commencing October 31, 2009. The note
matures on March 15, 2009, at which point any unpaid principal and accrued
interest is due. The note is collateralized with a first priority
security interest in the assets of Windows, and up to $105,000 each, is
personally guaranteed by three officers of the Company.
In
November 2009, the Company entered into a mutual termination and release with
its landlord, and was released entirely from its lease obligations. The
termination and release is reflected in the accompanying financial statements
(see Notes 7 and 13).
In November 2009, the Company entered
into a month to month sub-lease agreement at a new location.
In
December 2009, Windows (see Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
- Organization) sent settlement offer letters to its trade account
creditors.
In
December 2009, the Company reverse split its common stock 1:125, without
amending its articles of incorporation to reduce the number of authorized
shares. 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 (see Note 1 – Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies - Basis of Presentation).
