General


We incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 7, 1996, under the name B & R Ventures, Inc.  On March 28, 1999, we acquired all of the common stock of Enjoy The Game, Inc., a Missouri corporation, and changed our name to EtG Corporation.


On December 17, 2002, we acquired AIMS Worldwide, Inc., incorporated in Nevada on October 7, 2002, as Accurate Integrated Marketing Solutions Worldwide, Inc., to act as the successor to AIMS Group, LLC which was organized in Virginia in November 2001.  As a result of this acquisition, we changed our name to AIMS Worldwide, Inc.


Our principal executive offices are at 10400 Eaton Place, #203, Fairfax, VA 22030.  Our telephone number is 703-621-3875 and our fax number is 703-621-3870.  Our URL is www.AIMSWorldwide.com


Our Business


AIMS Worldwide, Inc. (“AIMS or “AIMS™”) is an integrated marketing services company, providing clients with impactful, cost effective and measurable marketing solutions, resulting in increased sales and customer retention.  AIMS (Accurate Integrated Marketing Solutions) increases accuracy, reduces cost, and improves results of its clients’ marketing programs, by refocusing traditional mass marketing programs to a more targeted and "One-2-One" relationship with the ideal customer.


The world of marketing services is undergoing revolutionary change with the introduction and application of new digital technologies vs. sole reliance on traditional media and methods.  AIMS differentiation strategy is based on clients’ need for both traditional and new approaches.  Accordingly, our focus is on bridging the art of marketing with the science of marketing, thereby bringing clients more balanced and impactful solutions.  To further differentiate from the rest of the market, AIMS places intense focus on the Return on Marketing Investment ("ROMI™"), to develop and maintain strong our client relationships.


AIMS is further developing core competencies and accelerating growth by targeting and acquiring marketing services companies that support our strategy and create differentiation.


Going forward, our Company will consist of five operating business groups: AIMS Public Affairs Group, AIMS Public Relations Group, AIMS Local Community Marketing Group, AIMS Interactive Group, and AIMSolutions Consulting.


-

AIMS Public Affairs Group, via our IKON Public Affairs Group operating company, concentrates on bringing the best and latest information and ideas from around the United States concerning political candidates, public issues, public policy, public and government advocacy, legislation, appropriation, state and local ballot measures.  This group provides solutions to finding, disseminating, circulating, and marketing information on issues and organizations concerning local, state and national governments at the lowest possible cost.


-

AIMS Public Relations Group will concentrate on creating public relations, publicity, promotions, special events, product, and brand placement through various media, networking and promotion channels of “earned media” for its clients at the lowest possible cost.


-

AIMS Local Community Marketing Group, through its operating units BrandStand Group, Inc., Streetfighter Marketing, Inc., and Bill Main and Associates, provides marketing research, strategy, planning, consulting, and training programs that provide cost-effective local community marketing solutions and techniques to clients' marketing initiatives.


-

AIMS Interactive Group focuses its activities on using and applying digital technologies for improving program results and ROMI™ for AIMS clients.

-

AIMSolutions Consulting Group focuses on the use and application of the AIMS ROMI™ process to provide an audit of the client's existing marketing strategy and plans, marketing research, analysis and reports from which to initiate new marketing strategies, plans, and measurement tools.  AIMSolutions manages this entire process and initiative for its clients, with the goal of delivering clients an increased and measurable return on their investment.  AIMSolutions has undertaken a number of client beta-tests in the ongoing development of its integrated marketing solution process.  Beta-test clients have been in a number of applications industries, including public policy issues, political campaign marketing, consumer electronics, medical and health care, distribution services, consumer package goods, restaurant, food service, and hospitality.  The scope of these industry development activities has established a platform of knowledge, processes, and intellectual properties, and AIMSolutions is entering its going-concern, revenue-driven consulting practice.


In addition to AIMS own core competencies, the Company has developed a number of alliances who bring complementary capabilities, such as, marketing research and advertising services.  Through the combination of companies AIMS has acquired, partnerships it has developed, and the continued development of core competencies through organic growth and acquisition, AIMS will continue to build strength in these five core areas of operations.


Trademarks and Licenses


We hold common law trademarks on AIMS™, ROMI™, and One-2-One™.  AIMS™ is a unique doctrine, process, intellectual property, delivery system and corporate development method integrated into what we believe is a powerful client/customer-centric professional service model.

Subsidiaries


As part of its corporate development core competency acquisition strategy, AIMS Worldwide, Inc., owns the following subsidiaries:


Harrell Woodcock Linkletter & Vincent, Inc.


On April 15, 2005, AIMS acquired Harrell Woodcock Linkletter & Vincent, Inc., a Florida corporation (“HWL&V”).  The purchase price for the transaction was 500,000 shares of restricted common stock of AIMS in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of HWL&V in cash and stock.  Included in the transaction were letters of intent issued by HWL&V to two specialty-marketing consulting firms, which AIMS™ subsequently acquired.  Renamed "Harrell, Woodcock, & Linkletter," Company management plans for this subsidiary to be an active strategy, planning and marketing consulting group offering innovative new business and new market development services.


ATB Media, Inc.


On April 19, 2004, we acquired ATB Media, Inc. ("ATB").  ATB was formed to acquire radio broadcast properties and/or invest in companies that had previously acquired radio broadcast properties in small- and medium-sized markets and use innovative techniques and low cost, engineering-driven strategies to upgrade these properties into successful radio stations by relocating such properties to larger markets, increasing authorized power and/or authorized hours of operation.  ATB owns rights to receive income participation from one or more radio stations and other businesses.  The merger has been recorded at book value because the companies were under common control.


ATB currently owns a 40% participating interest in Radio Station KCAA in Loma Linda/San Bernardino, Calif., and owns rights to receive income participation from one or more radio stations if and when acquired.  KCAA operates in a 24-hour broadcast cycle.  On March 19, 2008, station management received approval from the FCC for a construction permit that would allow station management to expand the current facility to support daytime broadcasts at 10,000 watts.




4




On November 13, 2009, Christopher Noble and Angela Phillips, the only two secured creditors of ATB Media, Inc., filed suit in the United States District Court for the District of Idaho (the “Complaint”).  The Complaint alleges that ATB is in default under the terms of two promissory notes dated December 31, 1999, each in the amount of $500,000 in favor of Plaintiffs (the “Noble/Phillips Indebtedness”).  The prayer for relief in the Complaint requests entry of judgment in favor of Plaintiffs for unpaid principal and interest in the aggregate amount of $3,723,088.14, plus per diem interest from and after November 13, 2009 in the aggregate amount of $1,535.44, attorneys fees in the aggregate amount of $4,000 (if judgment is entered by default), and a decree for the judicial sale of the ATB Collateral.  The ATB Collateral consists of all of the assets of ATB.  The Company does not intend to contest the entry of the default judgment.  As a result, the Company expects that judgment will be entered for Plaintiffs as requested in the Complaint, and that Plaintiffs will accede to ownership of all of the assets of ATB.  The Company does not believe it has any outstanding exposure with respect to the Noble/Phillips Indebtedness (none has been alleged) and, that upon entry of the default judgment, and consummation of related foreclosure proceedings, the Noble/Phillips Indebtedness will have been satisfied, at which point ATB will recognize a gain resulting from the foreclosure sale.


Streetfighter Marketing, Inc.


On October 24, 2006, the Company entered an agreement with the shareholders of Streetfighter Marketing, Inc. (d/b/a Street Fighter Marketing), whereby the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of Streetfighter in exchange for 722,222 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock in a transaction valued at $650,000.  The agreement required the Company to enter into employment agreements with two Streetfighter employees.


Streetfigher Marketing, Inc., headquartered in Gahanna, Ohio, specializes in speaking, motivation, publishing, and training businesses how to market, promote, and increase sales on a shoestring budget.  The Streetfighter client list includes AT&T, American Express, Walt Disney, Pizza Hut, Honda, Sony, Goodyear, Marvel Comics, The City of Dallas, the State of Arkansas, the Country of India, and Sylvan Learning Centers.


Bill Main and Associates


On May 16, 2007, the Company completed the purchase of Barbara Overhoff, Inc., d/b/a Bill Main and Associates, in Chico, Calif.  Total AIMS Worldwide, Inc., payment was 850,000 shares of restricted common stock and $175,000 in cash.  Bill Main and Associates is a leading strategy, planning, publishing, and consulting firm in the restaurant, food service, and hospitality industry.  A published author and noted speaker, Chairman Tucker W. “Bill” Main is a recognized authority in restaurant marketing, operations, and management.  He is a former President of the California Restaurant Association.  In addition, the Company, its management and employees worked jointly and in cooperation with BrandStand Group, Inc., in the food services, hospitality and restaurant industries seeking opportunities and client development.


Target America, Inc.


Acquired July 26, 2007, with a base in Fairfax, Va., and offices in Indianapolis and Chicago, Target America, Inc., was founded in 1995 under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia to meet the rapidly changing needs of not-for-profit, charity, and philanthropy fundraising professionals.  The Company is a constant innovator in the field of contributor and donor prospect research, developing and launching a completely online prospect screening service in 2003.  Target America continues to upgrade and develop this tool, which now includes a wide range of services from automated Internet research and Target Tiger, and internet search engine, to an integrated management system to serve not only the not-for profit community, but business, commerce database profiles, retail, and financial institutions as well.


IKON Public Affairs Group, LLC


On July 26, 2007, AIMS Worldwide, Inc., acquired 55% of IKON Public Affairs Group, LLC ("IPAG"), a limited liability company formed under the laws of Delaware.  Post-closing, IPAG, through its offices in Washington, D.C., area and Denver, continues the business previously conducted by IKON Holdings, Inc., providing consulting services in connection with political campaigns and public and government advocacy.  Management of AIMS determined, while evaluating this potential acquisition, that the primary value to be acquired was the value of the customer list and services of the two principals, including the reputation and work product and methods of those individuals.


BrandStand Group Inc.


On June 26, 2009, the Company completed the acquisition of the common stock of BrandStand Group, Inc.  Consideration of the acquisition was 1,600,000 shares of AIMS common stock, a one year note payable in the amount of $400,000 and a cash payment of $400,000, of which $50,000 had previously been placed on deposit.

BrandStand Group, Inc. is a premier provider of restaurant brand positioning, management and communication strategies, helping restaurant and food service owners and franchisees to develop and differentiate their brand, assisting them to align and deliver their brand promise and helping them in communicating their message.  BrandStand Group, Inc. clients include national and regional accounts such as Silver Diner, Burger King, Schlotzsky’s and Z-Pizza.  BrandStand researched, developed, and utilizes a scientific approach to build client retail establishment traffic, new customer trial, customer frequency and loyal customer sales and revenues.  BrandStand Group applies a scientific methodology to build client customers and revenues at the lowest possible cost.  Its use of science on a micro basis parallels the model that AIMS Worldwide developed and applies to the marketing paradigm.  It is for this micro-to-macro perspective that AIMS Worldwide acquired BrandStand Group.


Competition


Marketing and Media services in various forms are some of the most competitive segments of business, commerce and enterprise management.  With the introduction, changes, and dynamics caused by online/ interactive digital communication technologies to the traditional/offline communications mediums (broadcast, satellite cast, print, post, and telephone) the marketing landscape has become one of the most competitive in the world.


Our internal research indicates that an estimated $1 trillion plus is spent worldwide annually on the full range of marketing, marketing communications, marketing services, media, and delivery systems.  This is a massive, diverse, and fragmented service industry.  As such, globally there can be little doubt as to the competition in the marketing services space in which the leading companies, agencies, and firms are better established, positioned, branded, staffed and capitalized than our Company.


AIMS management has undertaken comprehensive industry research including evaluation of the full scope of marketing services including, but not limited to, advertising (Top 100), direct marketing (Top 20), sales promotion (Top 20), public relations (Top 20), market research (Top 25), digital marketing technologies (Top 100), and marketing support services (Top 200).  Based on our analysis, AIMS believes that traditional media and marketing services, while with far greater financial and human resources than the company, do not currently offer the integrated solutions AIMS provides.


Regulation


Our business is not regulated by any governmental agency and approval from any governmental agency is not required for us to market or sell our products.  However, some of our acquisitions may be subject to regulatory oversight.  For example, the Federal Communications Commission regulates the radio property.


Employees


AIMS Worldwide, Inc., corporate headquarters has five employees, and, including our operating subsidiaries, has a total of approximately twenty-five employees.  We plan to hire additional personnel on an as-needed basis as our operations expand.  As of March 31, 2010, we continued to have no formal employment agreements in place at the corporate level, with the exception of the employment agreement with Thomas W. Cady, who joined the Company in July 2009.


Item 2.  Properties


Our executive offices at 10400 Eaton Place, Suite 203, Fairfax, VA 22030, also serve as offices for ATB Media, Inc., AIMS Interactive, Inc., and Harrell Woodcock and Linkletter.  Our other subsidiaries which have separate offices are located as follows:  Bill Main and Associates has one office located in Chico, Calif.; BrandStand Group has one office in Lewisberry, Penn.; IKON Public Affairs Group has two main offices, one located in Arlington, Va., and the other in Denver; Streetfighter Marketing, Inc., has one office located in Gahanna, Ohio; and Target America had its base office in Fairfax, Va., and another location in Indianapolis.


The Company does not own any real property; all offices are leased.


Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.


Jose R. Trujillo v. Michael L. Foudy, AIMS Worldwide, Inc., American Institute for Full Employment, The Committee for Good Common Sense, et al., in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida, case No. 502005CA005603XXXXMB, affadavit filed December 9, 2005.


In this case, an individual in Florida named Jose Trujillo sued several corporations and individuals, including AIMS, alleging breach of contract.  AIMS management disputes that it should be a party to this suit because Mr. Foudy did not have the authority to bind the Company to any agreement.  Management expects this legal matter to be settled as no activity has occurred in more than a year.

On November 13, 2009, Christopher Noble and Angela Phillips, the only two secured creditors of ATB Media, Inc. (“ATB”), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, filed suit in the United States District Court for the District of Idaho (the “Complaint”).  The Complaint alleges that ATB is in default under the terms of two promissory notes dated December 31, 1999, each in the amount of $500,000 in favor of Plaintiffs (the “Noble/Phillips Indebtedness”).  The prayer for relief in the Complaint requests entry of judgment in favor of Plaintiffs for unpaid principal and interest in the aggregate amount of $3,723,088.14, plus per diem interest from and after November 13, 2009 in the aggregate amount of $1,535.44, attorneys fees in the aggregate amount of $4,000 (if judgment is entered by default), and a decree for the judicial sale of the ATB Collateral.  The ATB Collateral consists of all of the assets of ATB.  The Company does not intend to contest the entry of the default judgment.  As a result, the Company expects that judgment will be entered for Plaintiffs as requested in the Complaint, and that Plaintiffs will accede to ownership of all of the assets of ATB.  The Company does not believe it has any outstanding exposure with respect to the Noble/Phillips Indebtedness (none has been alleged) and, that upon entry of the default judgment, and consummation of related foreclosure proceedings, the Noble/Phillips Indebtedness will have been satisfied, at which point ATB will recognize a gain resulting from the foreclosure sale.

Item 7.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.


The management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements appearing at the end of this report.


Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008


We generated corporate-wide revenue of $5,721,503 in 2009 and revenue of $13,963,060 in 2008.  None of the revenue generated in 2009 or 2008 was from related party transactions.


General and administrative operating expenses including cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2009, were $7,169,588 compared to $14,850,934 in 2008.


ATB Media, Inc., interest expense booked in 2009 is $172,949 to nonrelated party debt holders and $61,342 to related party debt holders but recognized a gain of $71,992 from renegotiation of principal and interest debt to a related party.  ATB Media, Inc., interest expense booked in 2008 is $176,050 to nonrelated party debt holders and $61,510 to related party debt holders.  It is anticipated that once the judgment is rendered (See Item #1, Subsidiaries, ATB Media, Inc.) and other debt is reduced via negotiation with remaining debt holders ATB will recognize a significant Gain on Settlement of Debt(s).


For the year ending December 31, 2009, we had an operating loss of $1,448,085 compared to $1,274,507 in 2008.


The EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) results for the Company in 2009 are ($972,018) as compared to ($464,160) in 2008.


2009 results breakdown per market segment as follows:


AIMS Public Affairs Group


AIMS Worldwide, Inc., Public Affairs Group consists of IKON Public Affairs Group, LLC.  This segment generated $3,372,576 in revenue during 2009 and net income of ($799,199).  This segment generated $11,488,888 in revenue during 2008 and net income of ($97,448).


The year-over-year decline in results is due to IKON’s bifurcation business model that leads to swings in revenue between election and non-election years, making our financial performance cyclical.  Therefore, it is best analyzed by examining a two-year cycle.


IKON Public Affairs Group ("IPAG") is a public issues, public policy, government affairs, lobbying, and political campaign firm that brings the best and latest information and ideas from around the United States concerning political candidates, public issues, public policy, public and government advocacy, legislation, appropriation, state and local ballot measures.  This group provides solutions to finding, disseminating, circulating, and marketing information on issues and organizations concerning local, state and national governments at the lowest possible cost.  Also, it is a political consulting firm that seeks to aid its clients in winning elections – whether the election of candidates to office or the passage of initiative and referenda in the states.  Uniquely, IKON does both and has a track record of success with both.




8




In the 2008 Presidential election year, IPAG created a new product – Campaign Media Buying Services – which proved to be a significant source of new revenues.  In the second quarter of 2008 and in preparation for the national campaign season IPAG undertook political issue, political referendum, and political interest group (527s) research.  IPAG developed a unique media arbitrage strategy whereby advanced political issue media, primarily television broadcast, could be purchased, inventoried, and resold on behalf of interested clients.  IPAG intends to continue its CMBS practice in 2010 and anticipates generating significant revenue from this initiative.


With respect to IPAG’s public affairs practice, 2009 continued to show solid foundation; the election of President Obama, with his extensive agenda of proposed legislation, budget, and appropriations in areas including healthcare, environment, education, and energy, fueled revenue initiatives and sustained its annual book of business.


In addition, 2009, by contrast, was a non-election year.  Despite the national economic downturn, IKON's lobbying practice remained strong fueled because of the legislative debate over healthcare reform.  IKON's revenue of approximately $3.2 million, while substantially and predictably smaller than 2008 revenue, was quite strong for our lobbying practice. In view of overall economic conditions, IKON also took significant steps in 2009 to reduce expenses.

In 2009 the segment generated $1,277,201 in revenue and ($288,866) in net income.  This segment generated $839,216 in revenue during 2008 and net income of ($8,864).  $917,649 of that revenue and ($100,618) of net income were attributed to BrandStand's operations which were added to the group no June 27, 2009.


BrandStand Marketing Group (BSG) reported Costs of Sales for the period June 27, 2009, to December 31, 2009 to be 67% of revenue, yielding a gross margin of 33%.  G&A Expense totaled $402,688 for the period.  G&A expense was approximately $100,000 above desired levels due to charges related to the AIMS transaction.  G&A also was impacted because of added investment for management and business development in the joint effort with Bill Main and Associates.


AIMS Worldwide completed the acquisition of 100% of the stock of BrandStand Marketing Group (BSG) on June 26, 2009.  The seller, Timothy Cusick, remained as Founder & CEO after the transaction and all staff was retained.  Chris Petersen was named President and began a planned, five-month transition period on July 6, 2009.  The company initiated business development growth activities in August with the objectives of current client retention and new client development.  As of December 31, 2009, 100% of BrandStand clients were successfully renewed for 2010 annual engagement.  The company relocated to new office space in the Harrisburg, Penn., area in October 2009.


On December 1, 2009, Chris Petersen assumed day-to-day management responsibility for the company at the completion of the planned transition phase.  Timothy Cusick continued as Founder & CEO, focused on client strategy.


Street Fighter Marketing, Inc. had significant sales declines in 2009 versus the previous year in both speaking revenues and consulting revenues.  Gross profit totaled nearly half of the previous year.  In 2009 many clients cut back on events and conventions and use of professional speakers.


Also Sylvan Learning, which had been our biggest project at that time, terminated its contract. This reduced expected sales by half.


A bright spot in 2009 was a significant increase in book sales as a result of a keynote speech at Focus Brands.


Despite these 2009 setbacks, Streetfighter management anticipates growth in 2010; the firm has begun a new project with Focus Brands.  Bookings for speaking are slow, but other projects are expected in 2010.


In 2009, because of the national economic factors in general and the impact on the food services industry in particular, Bill Main and Associates management continued its practice of downsizing its operations and implemented cost reduction programs.  In addition, management and employees worked jointly and in cooperation with BrandStand Group, Inc., in the food services, hospitality, and restaurant industries seeking opportunities and client development.

AIMS Interactive Group


AIMS Worldwide, Inc., Interactive Group consists of AIMS Interactive, Inc., and Target America, Inc.  This segment generated $889,841 in revenue during 2009 and net income of $18,466.  This segment generated $1,405,419 in revenue during 2008 and net income of $74,367.


Simplex Healthcare, LA College, Medx Publishing, B2 Insights, and Detroit Trading purchased the Company’s lead management solution, Lead Optimizer.  This software-as-a-solution (SAAS) program captures, scrubs, validates, verifies, scores, and assigns web leads to sales agents and clients for conversion and re-marketing programs.  The Company also has built lead conversion and customer retention models for clients that drive down clients’ cost per acquisition and increase the lifetime value of their customers.


Since the Company charges clients on a per transaction basis, its cost structure is also based on a per transaction basis.  The Lead Optimizer solution carries a 50% cost of good sold, including software, support, and data charges.  This rate should drop as the Company signs up more customers and realizes economies of scale.


Target America, Inc, after ending 2008 with the highest sales totals in the company’s history, suffered through a downturn in 2009 because of the national economy and its effect on the nonprofit segment.


In the rapidly changing needs of fundraising professionals, Target America products have been reliable solutions in the nonprofit world.  Nonprofit organizations were beginning to see a decline in giving by the end of 2008, which carried into 2009, severely impacting Target America’s results.


Target America saw growth in the area of healthcare philanthropy in 2008, and renewals in this segment of the business had positive results in 2009, a time when other segments decreased significantly.


AIMSolutions Consulting Group


AIMS Worldwide, Inc., AIMSolutions Consulting Group consists of AIMSolutions Consulting and ATB Media, Inc.  In 2009 this segment generated $222,467 in revenue and ($140,422) in net income.  In 2008 we generated $229,897 in revenue from AIMSolutions clients and a gross profit of $153,418 for this product category.


In 2009, AIMSolutions launched new client engagements through its beta marketing program that allows customers to experience the potential ROI prior to committing a portion of its marketing budget to the Company.  Additionally, the Company launched a performance-based marketing solution for organic search, email marketing, and per inquiry direct response television solutions to drive lower cost per acquisition for seven beta customers.  Many of these clients expect to convert into long-term clients in 2010.  Sample beta customers included Luuvee, Young Money, ActiveCare, Kleinert’s, Simplex Healthcare, Social Security Foundation, Consumer’s Choice Awards, and Fearless Concversation.  For these beta customers, AIMSolutions created a performance-based revenue model to help build a foundation of customers who share a need to drive customers in digital areas.


In 2008 the revenues for this consulting group were generated mainly through contracts with Times Grill Restaurant Group, an operator and a franchisee with three units in Jacksonville, Fla., two units in Baton Rouge, La., one unit in Mandeville, La., and one unit in Pensacola, Fla., and with BestLine International research, a synthetic micro lubricant consumer products company in New York state.


ATB Media, Inc. generated $-0- revenue during 2009 and 2008.  Net income at December 31, 2009, for ATB Media was ($173,067).  Net income at December 31, 2008, for ATB Media was ($238,288).


The activity associated with ATB Media is related to our interest in KCAA-AM Radio Station in Loma Linda/San Bernardino, Calif.  ATB Media owns 40% participating interest in the station. AIMS and Broadcast Management Systems ("BMS") of Houston, the majority interest owner of the radio station, agreed to sell ATB Media and its associated holdings in KCAA-AM, but has not been successful in securing a buyer.

On November 13, 2009, Christopher Noble and Angela Phillips, the only two secured creditors of ATB Media, Inc. (“ATB”), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, filed suit in the United States District Court for the District of Idaho (the “Complaint”).  The Complaint alleges that ATB is in default under the terms of two promissory notes dated December 31, 1999, each in the amount of $500,000 in favor of Plaintiffs (the “Noble/Phillips Indebtedness”).  The prayer for relief in the Complaint requests entry of judgment in favor of Plaintiffs for unpaid principal and interest in the aggregate amount of $3,723,088.14, plus per diem interest from and after November 13, 2009 in the aggregate amount of $1,535.44, attorneys fees in the aggregate amount of $4,000 (if judgment is entered by default), and a decree for the judicial sale of the ATB Collateral.  The ATB Collateral consists of all of the assets of ATB.  The Company does not intend to contest the entry of the default judgment.  As a result, the Company expects that judgment will be entered for Plaintiffs as requested in the Complaint, and that Plaintiffs will accede to ownership of all of the assets of ATB.  The Company does not believe it has any outstanding exposure with respect to the Noble/Phillips Indebtedness (none has been alleged) and, that upon entry of the default judgment, and consummation of related foreclosure proceedings, the Noble/Phillips Indebtedness will have been satisfied, at which point ATB will recognize a gain resulting from the foreclosure sale.


The Company has also held discussions with the principal holders of additional indebtedness of ATB.  These discussions have led to an agreement in principal calling for a cash payment in the aggregate amount of $500,000 and issuance of Company common stock in an amount calculated to return the remainder of the indebtedness in the approximate amount of $2,352,979 to these holders at an exchange rate of $1.00 for $1.00 of Company stock.  The payment of the $500,000, and the value for the Company’s common stock to be issued, are each deferred until such time as the Company is able to achieve a substantial share issuance, which, as of this date, has not yet been firmly established.


Lastly, on December 31, 2009, ATB and related party debtholder Gerald Garcia, Jr., entered into a Debt Modification and Compromise Agreement pursuant to which Mr. Garcia cancelled ATB’s outstanding obligation owed to him in the amount of $71,992.


Most of the expense posted to ATB Media, Inc., during the past two years has been interest on the debt associated with the acquisition.


Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates


General


The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes requires us to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  We have based our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.


An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the financial statements.  We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.  The following descriptions of critical accounting policies, judgments, and estimates should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and other disclosures included in this report.


Provisions for Doubtful Accounts and Authorized Credits


We are exposed to losses due to uncollectible accounts receivable.  Provisions for these items represent our estimate of actual losses based on our historical experience and are made at the time the related revenue is recognized.  The provision for doubtful accounts is recorded as a charge to operating expense.  Historically, we have had no losses.  However, unexpected or significant future changes in trends could result in a material impact to future statements of income and cash flows.


Legal Contingencies


In connection with certain pending litigation and other claims, we have estimated the range of probable loss and provided for such losses through charges to our income statement.  These estimates have been based on our assessment of the facts and circumstances at each balance sheet date and are subject to change based upon new information and future events.




11




From time to time, we are involved in disputes that arise in the ordinary course of business, and we do not expect this trend to change in the future.  We are currently involved in one legal proceeding as discussed in “Item 3: Legal Proceedings.”  We believe that we have meritorious defenses to the claims against us.  However, even if successful, our defense against certain actions will be costly and could divert our management’s time.  If the plaintiffs were to prevail on certain claims, we might be forced to pay significant damages and licensing fees, modify our business practices or even be prohibited from conducting a significant part of our business.  Any such results could materially harm our business and could result in a material adverse impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of all or any of our segments.


Accounting for Income Taxes


We are required to recognize a provision for income taxes based upon the taxable income and temporary differences for each of the tax jurisdictions in which we operate.  This process requires a calculation of taxes payable and an analysis of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of our assets and liabilities, including various accruals, allowances, depreciation and amortization.  The tax effect of these temporary differences and the estimated tax benefit from our tax net operating losses are reported as deferred tax assets and liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet.  We also assess the likelihood that our net deferred tax assets will be realized from future taxable income.  To the extent we believe that it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax asset will not be realized, we establish a valuation allowance.  To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or change the allowance in a period, we reflect the change with a corresponding increase or decrease in our tax provision in our income statement.  Historically, these provisions have adequately provided for our actual income tax liabilities.  However, unexpected or significant future changes in trends could result in a material impact to future statements of income and cash flows.


Asset Impairments


We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  An asset is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the future net cash flow the asset is expected to generate.  If an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair market value.  We assess the recoverability of our long-lived and intangible assets by determining whether the unamortized balances can be recovered through undiscounted future net cash flows of the related assets.  The amount of impairment, if any, is measured based on projected discounted future net cash flows.  Impairment estimates have been based on our assessment of the facts and circumstances at each balance sheet date and are subject to change based upon new information and future events.


Liquidity and Capital Resources.


Risk Factors


We have incurred losses since inception and may incur future losses.


We incurred operating losses of $1,567,814 in 2009.  We do not expect to have consistent profitable operations until 2010 and we cannot assure that we will ever achieve or attain profitability.  If we cannot achieve operating profitability, we will not be able to meet our working capital requirements, which would have a material adverse effect on our business and impair our ability to continue as a going concern.


We will encounter risks and difficulties frequently encountered by early-stage companies.


Some of these risks include the need to:


-

attract new AIMSolutions marketing clients and maintain current client relationships,

-

offer competitive pricing,

-

maintain and expand our network of advertising space through which we deliver the advertising component of our AIMSolutions,

-

achieve marketing solution campaign results that meet our clients’ objectives,

-

identify, attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel,

-

successfully implement our organic and acquisition business model,

-

manage our expanding operations, and

-

maintain our reputation and build trust with our clients.

-

locate, negotiate, and assimilate core competency acquisitions

-

attract and package the appropriate corporate finance and investment capital to underwrite our core competency acquisition corporate development.

AIMSolutions


Because AIMSolutions (our consulting service offered at the corporate level) client contracts generally can be cancelled by the client with little or no notice or penalty in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the professional consulting service contract, the termination of one or more large contracts could result in an immediate decline in our revenues.


Harrell, Woodcock, and Linkletter


Although Harrell, Woodcock, and Linkletter has no current on-going operation, we may ultimately get no return on our investment due to lack of acquisitions even though the Company has acquired in this core competency platform Bill Main and Associates and Street Fighter Marketing.


We must introduce new products and services to grow our business.


Our success depends on our ability to develop and introduce new services that address our clients’ changing demands.  Any new products or services that we develop will have a high degree of risk and need to meet the requirements of our current and prospective clients and may not achieve significant market acceptance.  The introduction of new products and services by our competitors, and the emergence of new industry standards, could render our existing products and services obsolete and unmarketable or require unanticipated investments in research and development.  If revenues generated from the use of our technologies do not cover these development costs, our operating results could be adversely affected.


Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights could diminish the value of our services, weaken our competitive position, and reduce our revenues.


Our success depends in large part on our proprietary rights.  In addition, we believe that our service marks and trademarks are key to identifying and differentiating our products and services from those of our competitors.  We rely on a combination of copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality procedures and licensing arrangements to establish and protect our proprietary rights.  These steps taken by us to protect our intellectual property may not prevent misappropriation of our technology or deter independent third-party development of similar technologies.


Our intellectual property currently includes AIMS (Accurate Integrated Marketing Solutions) “One-2-One”, referring to one to one marketing relationship in that the trade expression provides a stepped-up marketing power to the number 2, strengthening our clients’ relationship with their customers, end-users, households and communities.


Also included is our trademark “ROMI”, our trade expression providing out clients with a measurable, accountable return on their marketing dollars which are invested in building sales and revenues.


If we do not retain our senior management and key employees, we may not be able to achieve our business objectives.


Our future success is substantially dependent on the continued service of our senior management and other key employees, particularly Gerald Garcia, Jr., our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Thomas W. Cady, our President and Chief Operating Officer, and Patrick J. Summers, our Chief Financial Officer and Recording Secretary.  We may be unable to retain existing management, technical, sales and client support personnel that are critical to our success, resulting in harm to key client relationships, loss of key information, expertise or know-how and unanticipated recruitment and training costs.  The loss of the services of our senior management or other key employees could make it more difficult to successfully operate our business and pursue our business goals.


We expect to pursue acquisitions or other investments, which may require significant resources and may be unsuccessful.


Part of our business strategy is to acquire or make investments in other businesses, or acquire products and technologies, to complement our current business.  Any future acquisition or investment may require us to use significant amounts of cash, issue potentially dilutive equity securities, or incur debt.  We may not be able to identify, negotiate, or finance any future acquisition successfully.  Even if we do succeed in acquiring a business, product, or technology, we have limited experience in integrating an acquisition into our business.  Acquisitions involve several risks, any of which could disrupt our business and reduce the likelihood that we will receive the expected benefits of the acquisition, including:


-

difficulties in integrating the operations, technologies, services and personnel of acquired businesses,

-

ineffectiveness or incompatibility of acquired technologies or services,

-

diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns,

-

unavailability of favorable financing for future acquisitions,

-

potential loss of key employees of acquired businesses,

-

inability to maintain the key business relationships and the reputations of acquired businesses,



13





-

responsibility for liabilities of acquired businesses, and

-

increased fixed costs.


We may need additional financing in the future, which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all.


We may need additional funds to finance our operations, as well as to enhance our services, fund our expansion, respond to competitive pressures or acquire complementary businesses or technologies.  However, our business may not generate the cash needed to finance such requirements.  If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our existing shareholders would be reduced, and these securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our common stock.  If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, our ability to enhance our services, fund our expansion, respond to competitive pressures or take advantage of business opportunities would be significantly limited, and we might need to significantly restrict our operations.

Item 9A(T).  Controls and Procedures


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2008, and these weaknesses continue to December 31, 2009.  The evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer.  Disclosure controls and procedures mean our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Our quarterly evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures includes an evaluation of some components of our internal control over financial reporting, and internal control over financial reporting is also separately evaluated on an annual basis for purposes of providing the management report that is set forth below.


The evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures included a review of their objectives and design, our implementation of the controls, and the effect of the controls on the information generated for use in this Form 10-KSB.  In the course of the controls evaluation, we sought to identify any past instances of data errors, control problems, or acts of fraud and sought to confirm that appropriate corrective actions, including process improvements, were being undertaken.  This evaluation is performed on a quarterly basis so that the conclusions of management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concerning the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures can be reported in our periodic reports.


Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded, based on the evaluation of the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures by our management, that as of December 31, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting below.


Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting


Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act.  Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:


14






a)

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


b)

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


c)

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


Because of their inherent limitations, any system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.


Our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on the framework defined in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).


Material Weaknesses


The following, as reported on our December 31, 2008, SEC Form 10-K, remains as of December 31 2009:


Based on our evaluation under COSO, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2008, due to control deficiencies in three areas that we believe should be considered material weaknesses.  A material weakness is defined within the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's Auditing Standard No. 5 as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.


1)

The company did not sufficiently segregate duties over incompatible functions.


The company’s inability to sufficiently segregate duties is due to a lack of accounting staff.  Further, management has increased the frequency of independent reconciliations of significant accounts, which mitigates the lack of segregation of duties until the accounting department is fully staffed.


Also, during 2008, the CFO has also been the Controller for the subsidiaries, which has increased the level of control over the accounting function.  However, this also increased the concentration of risk that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected due to the lack of segregation of duties.


2)

In conjunction with the lack of segregation of duties, the company did not institute specific anti-fraud controls.


While management found no evidence of fraudulent activity, the chief accounting officer has access to both accounting records and corporate assets, principally the operating bank account.  Management believes this exposure to fraudulent activity is not material either to the operations of the company or to the financial reporting; however, management has instituted Key Controls specifically designed to prevent and detect—on a timely basis—any potential loss due to fraudulent activity.


Further, the nature of the autonomous subsidiaries is such that the subsidiaries’ management may fail to report accurately and timely significant transactions.


15





The CEO and CFO have been working with the subsidiaries more closely and continue to integrate a review and approval process to mitigate the possibility that transactions may go unreported.


3)

The subsidiaries accounting staff lack the depth of accounting education and knowledge to properly apply Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.


As stated above, the CFO’s duties have increased in respect to the direct supervision of the subsidiaries’ accounting staff, which management believes is sufficient to mitigate the lack of expertise to properly apply GAAP.  This Key Control will be strengthened when the accounting function is fully staffed.


Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures


Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.  The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.


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 Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of:


AIMS Worldwide, Inc., and Subsidiaries

10400 Eaton Place, Suite 203

Fairfax, Virginia 22030


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AIMS Worldwide, Inc. (a Nevada Incorporation) as of December 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the periods ending December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 (as restated).  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.


We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIMS Worldwide and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods ending December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 (as restated), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


As discussed in Note 13 to the financial statements, the Company has reclassified goodwill to intangible assets subject to amortization and recognized impairment.  Accordingly, the 2008 financial statements have been restated and an adjustment has been made to retained earnings as of January 1, 2009.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in the footnotes, conditions exist that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

AIMS WORLDWIDE, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


Note 1:  Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Organization


Description of Operations


AIMS Worldwide (AIMS™) is a vertically integrated marketing communications consultancy providing organizations with its AIMSolutions branded focused marketing solutions at the lowest possible cost.  AIMS™ (Accurate Integrated Marketing Solutions) increases the accuracy of the strategic direction of its client's marketing program, improves results and reduces the cost, by refocusing "mass marketing" to a more strategic "One-2-One™" relationship with the ideal customer. To further differentiate from the rest of the market, AIMS™ places intense focus on the Return on Marketing Investment, or "ROMI™."  The Company's goal is to provide clients with a measurable return by first conducting an audit of the client's existing marketing strategy in order to deliver an increased return on their investment.  AIMS™ is accelerating its growth by targeting and acquiring a group of core competency media and marketing communications services companies.


We commenced operations in 2002.  In 2005 we acquired certain assets of a company to acquire, design, construct and manage private cable and Internet systems.  The acquired subsidiary company provides cable and Internet services to more than 3,000 households and resort rooms in premier master planned communities and major resorts in greater Orlando, Fla.  Also in 2005, we acquired a company in the marketing development service industry.  In 2006 we acquired Streetfighter Marketing, Inc., a strategy and planning organization in Gahanna, Ohio.  In 2007 we acquired a food service consulting company d/b/a Bill Main and Associates, Target America, Inc., a digital marketing firm based in Fairfax, Va., and 55% of IKON Public Affairs Group, LLC, a public affairs organization based in Arlington, Va., and Denver.  Also, in 2007 we sold Prime Time Broadband, the company that resulted from the purchase of the cable operation assets.  We are headquartered in Fairfax, Va.  In June 2009 we acquires BrandStand Group, Inc., a food service industry consulting company based in Lewisberry, Penn.


Basis of Presentation


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AIMS Worldwide, Inc. and its subsidiaries.  All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.  When we refer to “we,” “our,” or “us” in this document, we mean AIMS Worldwide, Inc. and its subsidiaries.


We have incurred significant operating losses since our inception and we have a net working capital deficiency at December 31, 2009.  However, in the past we have raised sufficient capital to fund our on-going obligations through private debt and equity financing.  We are currently seeking additional capital in order to proceed with our business plan.  While we have been successful in the past in raising equity capital, the unique nature of our business concept has limited our ability to acquire additional financing.  We believe that we are not a viable candidate for commercial bank debt financing due to our lack of operating history and our lack of tangible assets.  There is no assurance that we will meet the objectives of our business plan or that we will be successful in obtaining additional financing.  Because there is no guarantee that we will succeed in accomplishing our objectives, substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern.  These financial statements do not contain any adjustments that may be required should we be unable to continue as an on-going concern.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principals requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities; disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements; and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.



F-8





Reclassifications


Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current-year presentation.


Cash and cash equivalents


For financial accounting purposes and the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.  We had $272,064 in cash equivalents as of December 31, 2009.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


Our financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, and accounts payable and accrued expenses.  The carrying values of cash, receivables, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of their short maturities.


The carrying value of the term loans and demand note payable approximates fair value since the interest rate associated with the debt approximates the current market interest rate.


Accounts Receivable


A reserve for uncollectible accounts has been established in an amount of $43,035.43 at December 31, 2009.  We review receivable accounts quarterly and adjust reserves as appropriate.


Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from customers located in the United States.  The Company considers accounts more than 90 days old to be past due although special exceptions are made for certain clients at the discretion of only top management.  The Company uses the allowance method for recognizing bad debts.  When an account is deemed uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance.  The Company generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable.  As of December 31, 2009, management believes the allowance for uncollectible accounts is fairly stated.


Inventory

Inventory, which consists of books and other materials for sale by Bill Main and Associates, is stated at the lower of cost or market, with costs determined using the average-cost method.  The Company conducts a physical inventory annually and routinely reviews the inventory for any impairment either because of obsolescence or because the inventory exceeds by a material amount the forecasts for company requirements.  The Company records a provision for obsolete or excess inventory whenever impairment has been identified.


Prepaid Expenses


Prepaid expenses consist primarily of pre-payments of insurance, rent, maintenance, and trade deposits which will be reflected as an expense during the periods benefited.


Property and Equipment


Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally ranging from three to seven years.  The recoverability of property and equipment is evaluated whenever indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount.  No impairment charges have been recorded for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.


Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets


We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”  An asset is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the future net cash flow the asset is expected to generate.  If an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair market value.  We assess the recoverability of our long-lived and intangible assets by determining whether the unamortized balances can be recovered through undiscounted future net cash flows of the related assets.  The amount of impairment, if any, is measured based on projected discounted future net cash flows.



F-9





Intangible assets


We have acquired intangible assets in conjunction with acquisitions.  These assets have been originally stated at cost, subsequently reduced by amortization and impairment, if required.  We have letters of intent related to the HWL acquisition that are being amortized over their four year expected life.  In 2006, we acquired the Street Fighter brand, trademark, copyrights, published materials, and intellectual property as part of the Streetfighter acquisition that are being amortized over their expected ten year economic life.  In 2007, we acquired non-compete restrictions, trademarks and trade secrets, software systems as part of the Bill Main and Target America acquisitions that will be amortized over their expected lives, and we acquired Goodwill as part of the IKON and Target America acquisitions.


Revenue Recognition


Our revenue policies meet the criteria for realizing and earning revenues set forth in SEC Staff Bulletin (“SAB”) 101 because, when applicable, we recognize revenue and earnings only when (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (3) our vendor’s price is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.


Revenue for service fees is recognized at the time the service is performed.  Revenue for product sales is recognized at the time the product is delivered.  Advertising revenue is earned as the advertisements are aired or published.  Revenue from speaking engagements is recognized when the speech is delivered.


In the second quarter of 2008 and in preparation for the national campaign season IKON Public Affairs Group, LLC ("IPAG"), undertook political issue, political referendum, and political interest group (527s) research.  IPAG developed a unique media arbitrage strategy whereby advanced political issue media could be purchased, inventoried, and resold on behalf of interested clients.  In the third quarter 2008 IPAG conducted campaign media buying and selling by entering into a business services relationship with RD Marketing, LLC, in Fort Collins, Colorado, whereby IPAG applied its strategic research and received capital with which we purchased and inventoried media product.  Subsequently, we sold the inventory.  Once the national election campaigns were completed RD Marketing received its original capital plus a small return from the campaign media buying activities and associated IPAG services.


Concentration of Credit Risk and Financial Instruments


SFAS No. 105, "Disclosure of Information About Financial Statements with Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with Concentrations of High Risk," required disclosure of significant concentrations of credit risk regardless of the degree of such risk.  Financial instruments with significant credit risk include cash.  The Company deposits its cash with high quality financial institutions in amounts less than the federal insurance limit of $250,000 in order to limit credit risk.  As of December 31, 2008, the Company's bank deposits did not exceed the insured limit.


Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily accounts receivable.  Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Company’s customer base.


Share-based Payment Arrangements


Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-based payment, which requires that compensation related to all stock-based awards, including stock options and restricted common stock, be recognized in the financial statements based on their estimated grant-date fair value.  The Company previously recorded stock compensation pursuant to the intrinsic value method under APB Opinion No. 25, whereby compensation was recorded related to performance share and unrestricted share awards and no compensation was recognized for most stock option awards. The Company is using the modified prospective application method of adopting SFAS No. 123R, whereby the estimated fair value of unvested stock awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 will be recognized as compensation expense in periods subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the same valuation method used in our prior pro forma disclosures.  The Company has estimated expected forfeitures, as required by SFAS No. 123R, and is recognizing compensation expense only for those awards expected to vest.  Compensation expense is amortized over the estimated service period, which is the shorter of the award’s time vesting period or the derived service period as implied by any accelerated vesting provisions when the common stock price reaches specified levels.  All compensation must be recognized by the time the award vests.  The cumulative effect of initially adopting SFAS No. 123R was immaterial.



F-10




Advertising Expenses


All advertising expenditures will be expensed as incurred.  Advertising expenses for 2009 and 2008 were $18,723 and $25,546, respectively.


Income Taxes


We report income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires the liability method in accounting for income taxes.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from the difference between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount on the financial statements.  Deferred tax amounts are determined by using the tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes will actually be paid or refunds received, as provided under currently enacted law.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.  Income tax expense or benefit is the tax payable or refundable, respectively, for the period plus or minus the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and liabilities.


Earnings/(loss) Per Share


Basic net income per share is computed by dividing the net income available to common shareholders (the numerator) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period.  The computation of diluted earnings is similar to basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.


At December 31, 2009, there was no variance between basic and diluted loss per share as the exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase common stock would be potentially anti-dilutive.


Reclassifications


Certain reclassifications have been made in prior year's financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year.


New Accounting Standards


Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – Overall (“ASC 105-10”). ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification is non-authoritative. The FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right. ASUs will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. References made to FASB guidance throughout this document have been updated for the Codification.


Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall (“ASC 820-10”) with respect to its financial assets and liabilities. In February 2008, the FASB issued updated guidance related to fair value measurements, which is included in the Codification in ASC 820-10-55, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall – Implementation Guidance and Illustrations. The updated guidance provided a one year deferral of the effective date of ASC 820-10 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at fair value at least annually. Therefore, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820-10 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities effective January 1, 2009, and such adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

 

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10-65, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall – Transition and Open Effective Date Information (“ASC 820-10-65”). ASC 820-10-65 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with ASC 820-10 when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased. ASC 820-10-65 also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. The adoption of ASC 820-10-65 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.



F-11





Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASC 825-10-65, Financial Instruments – Overall – Transition and Open Effective Date Information (“ASC 825-10-65”). ASC 825-10-65 amends ASC 825-10 to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements as well as in annual financial statements and also amends ASC 270-10 to require those disclosures in all interim financial statements. The adoption of ASC 825-10-65 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.


In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”, which is included in ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events. ASC Topic 855 established principles and requirements for evaluating and reporting subsequent events and distinguishes which subsequent events should be recognized in the financial statements versus which subsequent events should be disclosed in the financial statements. ASC Topic 855 also required disclosure of the date through which subsequent events are evaluated by management.  ASC Topic 855 was effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009 and applies prospectively.  Because ASC Topic 855 impacted the disclosure requirements, and not the accounting treatment for subsequent events, the adoption of ASC Topic 855 did not impact our results of operations or financial condition.  .

 

Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB ASU No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) (“ASU 2009-05”). ASU 2009-05 provided amendments to ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall, for the fair value measurement of liabilities. ASU 2009-05 provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using certain techniques. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of a liability. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. Adoption of ASU 2009-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

 

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, (amendments to FASB ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition) (“ASU 2009-13”) and ASU 2009-14, Certain Arrangements That Include Software Elements, (amendments to FASB ASC Topic 985, Software) (“ASU 2009-14”). ASU 2009-13 requires entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling price hierarchy. The amendments eliminate the residual method of revenue allocation and require revenue to be allocated using the relative selling price method. ASU 2009-14 removes tangible products from the scope of software revenue guidance and provides guidance on determining whether software deliverables in an arrangement that includes a tangible product are covered by the scope of the software revenue guidance. ASU 2009-13 and ASU 2009-14 should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of ASU 2009-13 or ASU 2009-14 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.


Note 2:  Dispositions and Reclassifications


There were no dispositions or reclassifications although we have regrouped our Marketing Segments.


Note 3:  Acquisition of Subsidiaries and Investments


On June 26, 2009, the Company entered into agreements whereby it acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of BrandStand Group, Inc. (“BGI”).  The acquisition was completed in two transactions.


In the first transaction, the Company entered a stock purchase agreement for the acquisition of 32% of Brandstand’s outstanding stock in exchange for a promissory note in the amount of $400,000.  The note yields 8% interest per annum and payments are due quarterly in the amount of $105,049.50 with the first payment due September 26, 2009 and quarterly thereafter with the balance due on or before June 26, 2010 (the “Note”).  The note is secured by a pledge and security agreement under which the Company pledged 100% of the issued and outstanding shares in BGI (the “Pledge Agreement”).  James P. Gregory and Thomas W. Cady each received 100,000 shares of AIMS common stock in exchange for acting a co-makers with respect to financing an interim step in the transaction in which Gregory and Cady purchased 32% of the BGI stock from Timothy C. Cusick in exchange for their promissory note in the same amount and bearing the same terms and conditions as the Note, followed by a sale of the BGI Shares to the Company in exchange for the Note and Pledge Agreement.




F-12




In the second transaction, the Company contributed $350,000 in cash, and 1,600,000 shares of AIMS common stock to its newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary, AIMS MS 1 Corporation (“AIMS MS 1”), a Pennsylvania corporation.  The Company and AIMS MS 1 entered into an acquisition agreement and an agreement and plan of merger with BGI, pursuant to which AIMS MS 1 merged with BGI, with BGI the surviving corporation.  Timothy C Cusick, owner of the remaining 68% of the outstanding shares in BGI exchanged these shares for 1,500,000 shares of AIMS common stock and $350,000.00 in cash.  The Company exchanged its 32% of the shares in BGI and 100% of its shares in AIMS MS 1 for 1,000 shares of BGI. Post-closing, the Company owns 1,000 shares of BGI common stock.  These shares constitute 100% of the issued and outstanding shares in BGI.  100,000 shares of AIMS common stock was retained by BGI to use as incentive compensation to key employees.


In addition to the Note described above, AIMS borrowed $350,000 to finance the transaction.  AIMS borrowed $350,000 at 18% interest per annum payable interest only on a quarterly basis beginning September 26, 2009 with the full balance due on June 26, 2010 (the “Loans”).  An origination fee and cost reimbursement in the amount of $35,000 is due at maturity (unless extended in which case it is due on the extended maturity date).  The lenders received a warrant to purchase 350,000 shares of AIMS common stock at $0.352 per share over a five year period.  The Company has the right to extend the maturity date for six months.  If it elects to do so the lenders will receive an additional warrant to purchase 175,000 shares of AIMS common stock at $0.352 and an additional origination fee and cost reimbursement in the amount of $17,500 due and payable on the extended maturity date.  James P. Gregory received 100,000 shares of AIMS common stock in exchange for his guaranty of a portion of the Loans, Thomas W. Cady received 50,000 shares of AIMS common stock for providing a portion of the loans, and Chris Petersen received 25,000 shares of AIMS common stock for providing a portion of the loans.


Timothy C. Cusick continued in the employ of BGI post-closing on a full-time basis through November 30, 2009, as the chief executive officer and a director.  Thereafter, Mr. Cusick will provide part-time services to BGI.  Mr. Cusick’s employment agreement with BGI precludes him from competing with BGI for a period of five years.


BrandStand is a branding, marketing and customer-generating service to the restaurant and retail industry. BrandStand clients include national and regional accounts such as Silver Diner, Burger King, Schlotzsky’s and Z-Pizza.


Note 4:  Related Party Transactions


During 2009 the Company received additional capital from the following related parties:  Christine Garcia $83,500; Charles Brunie, $200,000; and Thomas W. Cady, $62,500


During January 2009 the Company was loaned $125,000 from FG Investments, LLC, at an annual interest rate of 18% and warrants for 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $.352 (35.2 cents) per share.  The Agreement was amended in July 2009 when the Company received an additional $6,250.  The Agreement was amended again in November 2009 when the Company received an additional $9,000.  In January 2010 the Company agreed to a Third Amendment when FG Investments, LLC, loaned the Company an additional $6,618; in this amendment the Company agreed to an origination fee of $7,623 and warrants to purchase 152,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $.352  (35.2 cents) per share.


In August 2009 the Company renegotiated certain previously existing terms with FG Investments, LLC / James P. Gregory; those terms include issuing a total of 82,344 Series B Preferred shares and warrants for 1,406,250 Series B Preferred shares ; however, those shares have not been issued/documented as per agreement with both parties as the Company is awaiting the anticipated cancellation of the Liberty Growth Fund interest in the Company due to possible lack of fulfillment of the agreement by Liberty.


In December 2009 the Company signed a Promissory note to FG Investments, LLC, in exchange for $120,000 at an annual interest rate of 18%. In addition, the Lender received warrants for 120,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $.352 (35.2 cents) per share, and will receive an origination fee of $12,000 at maturity.


In 2009 we expensed $50 to the spouse of an officer for services.  We expensed $171,248 for legal services provided by a company partially owned by a shareholder; half if the balance was paid in common stock converted at $.65 (65 cents) per share.  We negotiated debt to another law firm, owned by a shareholder, from $55,250 to $10,000, issuing 150,000 common shares as part of the settlement.

Note 8:  Income Taxes


Because we underwent an ownership change in 2002, as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, our tax net operating loss carryforwards generated prior to the ownership change will be subject to an annual limitation, which could reduce or defer the utilization of those losses.


A reconciliation of U.S. statutory federal income tax rate to the effective rate follows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2009 follows:

The benefit for income taxes from operations consisted of the following components at December 31, 2009: current tax benefit of $6,049,000 resulting from a net loss before income taxes, and deferred tax expense of $6,049,000 resulting from the valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax asset resulting from net operating losses.


The benefit for income taxes from operations consisted of the following components at December 31, 2008: current tax benefit of $5,236,000 resulting from a net loss before income taxes, and deferred tax expense of $5,236,000 resulting from the valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax asset resulting from net operating losses.


The change in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2008, was $484,000.  The change in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2009, was $813,000.  Net operating loss carryforwards at December 31, 2009, will expire in 2029.  The valuation allowance will be evaluated at the end of each year, considering positive and negative evidence about whether the asset will be realized.  At that time, the allowance will either be increased or reduced; reduction could result in the complete elimination of the allowance if positive evidence indicates that the value of the deferred tax asset is no longer impaired and the allowance is no longer required.

FG Investment Holdings, LLC


On July 8, 2008, the Company entered into a Series B Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement, (the “Agreement”), with FG Investment Holdings, LLC.  Under the Agreement, FG Investment Holdings, LLC will purchase up to a total of 2,812,500 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock at a price of $4,500,000.  The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock of the Company in the ratio of 5 shares of common for each share of Series B Preferred Stock.

Concurrent with entering the Agreement, the parties closed on the First Round Financing.


Liberty Growth Fund, LP


On July 26, 2007, the Company entered into a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Liberty Growth Fund LP.  Under the Agreement, Liberty could purchase up to a total of 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock at a price of $8,000,000.  The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock of the Company in the ratio of five (5) shares of common for each share of Series A Preferred Stock.  Liberty also received warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock as follows: 21,875,000 shares at $.50, callable by the Company with certain cancellable restrictions; 4,000,000 shares at $.50; 6,000,000 shares at $1.00 and 6,000,000 shares at $2.00.


As a condition of the Agreement, the Company issued Lerota, LLC, who acted as an assigned consultant by Liberty to the transaction between the Company and Liberty, a cashless warrant for 3,143,750 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.01 per share in addition to cash fees of $350,000 for the first round and $450,000 for the second round.  The warrant is vested and expires July 26, 2012.  The quoted market price of the stock was $0.58 per share.  The Company valued the warrants at an average of $0.57 per share, in accordance with SFAS 123(R) using a risk-free interest rate of 4.3%, a dividend yield of 0.0%, a calculated volatility factor of 188% and an expected life of five years.  The calculated value of $1,800,000 was recorded as offering costs and charged to additional paid in capital in the financial statements.

F-22




If the Company failed to acquire the Second Round Acquisition Target prior to the Second Round closing date, then the Company was to issue an additional 500,000 shares of Preferred Stock to Liberty as a penalty.  However, given the pending litigation explained below the Company has not yet issued the shares.


If, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, the Company’s pro forma EBITDA target was not met, then the Company was to issue an additional 1,600,000 shares of Preferred Stock to Liberty as a an additional penalty.  However, given the pending litigation explained below the Company has not yet issued the shares.


Further, should the Company be subject to penalties, the Company was also to issue additional warrants to purchase common stock to Lerota, LLC in the amount of 187,500 shares of Common Stock at $.01 for the Acquisition penalty and 825,000 shares of Common Stock for the EDITDA penalty.


The Agreement required the Company to register the shares of common stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form SB-2 or S-3 and to appoint Mr. Philip A. Seifert, a principal of Liberty Growth Fund LP, to the Board of Directors of the Company.


Concurrent with entering the Preferred Stock Agreement and related agreements, including an Escrow Agreement whereby Liberty required that the escrow agent be Cardinal Trust and Investment, the parties closed on the First Round Financing.  The Company substantially used the funds to complete its acquisition of 55% of IKON Public Affairs Group, LLC, and 100% of Target America, Inc.


In an 8-K filing in August 2007 and subsequently in its Sept. 30, 2007, Form 10-QSB, the Company disclosed that on July 26, 2007 (the “Closing Date”) it sold 2,187,500 convertible preferred shares (the “Purchased Securities”) to Liberty Growth Fund L.P (“Liberty”).  The closing of the transaction was administered by Cardinal Trust and Investment, a Division of Cardinal Bank (“Cardinal”), acting as Escrow Agent pursuant to a written escrow agreement dated July 19, 2007 (the “Escrow Agreement”).  The Company, Liberty and Cardinal were all parties to the Escrow Agreement.


Also on July 26, 2007, pursuant to previously disclosed pre-existing agreements, the Company concurrently closed and acquired 55% of IKON Public Affairs Group, LLC, and 100% of Target America, Inc.


In discussions with Cardinal officials and representatives of Liberty after the Closing Date, the Company was advised that Liberty did not provide the funds required to complete the purchase transaction, and that Lerota LLC, which received a fee for its services in the transaction, returned the cash fee in its entirety to Cardinal.


On August 9, 2007, Cardinal filed suit in the Fairfax County Circuit Court (Civil Action No. 2007-9626), naming Philip August Seifert and Liberty Growth Fund LP as defendants, seeking recovery of funds disbursed by Cardinal together with interest and costs.  AIMS Worldwide, Inc., is not a party to the litigation.  Mr. Seifert, General Managing Partner of Liberty, died in November 2007.


Since the Closing Date, the Company continued to perform its obligations under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement and related agreements with Liberty.  Because of Liberty’s actions and the untimely death of Mr. Seifert, the Company has initiated efforts to secure replacement financing.  Although there was no assurance that alternative financing could be timely obtained on reasonable terms or at all, on February 15, 2008, the Company received a proposed term sheet from FG Investments, LLC, and a subsequent investment.


As of December 31, 2007, the Company had not incurred any liabilities under the Stock Purchase Agreement with Liberty for penalties or liquidated damages.  The Agreement required the Company to file a registration statement within 45 days of closing the Liberty transaction registering the preferred shares and underlying warrants issued in the first tranche.  However, given the pending litigation between Cardinal and Liberty and the demonstrated inability of Liberty to perform its obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company, with no assurance that its costs and expenses associated with complying with the terms of the second tranche would be met, elected not to proceed with the registration.


In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios ("EITF 98-5"), the Company recognized an imbedded beneficial conversion feature present in the convertible preferred stock.  The Company recognized and measured an aggregate of $2,500,000, which is equal to the intrinsic value of the imbedded beneficial conversion feature, to additional paid-in capital and a return to the convertible preferred stock holders.  Since the preferred shares were convertible at the date of issuance, the return to the preferred shareholders attributed to the beneficial conversion feature has been recognized in full at the date the convertible preferred stock was issued.

In 2008, options to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock for a period of five years were given to each of four officers or directors of the Company.  In addition, options scheduled to expire in 2009 were extended to expire in 2010.  The options, totaling 800,000 shares each year can be exercised at a price that is 125% of the market price at the time the options are exercised.  The exercise price of these options will continue to remain above the market price of these shares, introducing a complexity such that it is not possible to estimate the fair value of these options using option pricing models.  Accordingly, under SFAS 123R, (paragraph 25) the intrinsic model will be applied to these options.  Compensation cost reported each accounting period is based on the change in the intrinsic value.  Total compensation cost under the intrinsic model is the excess of the fair value of the stock over the option price.  No compensation expense was reported for these options in 2008 or 2007.

In 2007 and again in 2008, options to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock for a period of five years were given to each of three current and former directors at the Company.  The options, totaling 1,500,000 shares each year can be exercised at a price that is 110% of the market price at the time the options are exercised.  The exercise price of these options will continue to remain above the market price of these shares, introducing a complexity such that it is not possible to estimate the fair value of these options using option pricing models.  Accordingly, under SFAS 123R, (paragraph 25) the intrinsic model will be applied to these options.  Compensation cost reported each accounting period is based on the change in the intrinsic value.  Total compensation cost under the intrinsic model is the excess of the fair value of the stock over the option price.  No compensation expense was reported for these options in 2008 or 2009.
