SWORDFISH FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

September 30, 2013

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

           REFERENCE TO THE COMPANY

 

References to “we”, “us”, “our”, “Swordfish” or the “Company” in these notes to the consolidated financial statements refer to Swordfish Financial, Inc., a Minnesota corporation, and its subsidiaries.

 

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Swordfish Financial, Inc., (a Texas corporation), acquired 80% of the outstanding common stock of Nature Vision, Inc. pursuant to a stock acquisition/merger agreement on August 14, 2009. Based on a review of these factors, the August 2009 stock acquisition agreement with Swordfish Financial, Inc., the merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition (i.e. Nature Vision, Inc. was considered as the acquired company and Swordfish Financial, Inc., was considered as the acquiring company). As a result, Nature Vision, Inc.’s assets and liabilities as of August 14, 2009, the date of the Merger closing, have been incorporated into Swordfish’s balance sheet based on the fair values of the net assets acquired. Further, the Company’s operating results (post-Merger) include Swordfish Financial, Inc., operating results prior to the date of closing and the results of the combined entity following the closing of the Merger. Swordfish Financial, Inc. Also as a result of the merger the Company changed its name from Nature Vision to Swordfish Financial, Inc.

 

Until approximately June 2009, the Company operated as an outdoor recreation products company which designed and marketed primarily outdoor recreation products for the sport fishing and sport hunting markets throughout the United States and Canada. Effective approximately in September 2009, the Company changed its operations to concentrating on diversified financial asset recovery for high net worth individuals and companies with orphaned or dormant assets held in financial institutions around the world.

 

Effective in approximately December 2012, the Company changed its business focus to the pursuit of the acquisition of Internet media companies which provide services to home entertainment and cable business.

 

The Company believes that the Internet’s direct connection to homes has provided the opportunity to build out an infrastructure that is uniquely suited to deliver high quality, high definition (HD), standard definition (SD) and creatively produced TV and Radio networks with programming at a dramatically reduced price to the network creators, TV and movie producers and of course subscribers. We believe that these programs could benefit the growing community who have recognized the sincere demand for quality, entertaining, and family friendly and clean moral lifestyle.

 

Management believes that acquisitions in this “space” could compete with the major cable systems by providing alternative programming that the cable community does not provide and does not desire to provide, especially when combined with the top networks that the cable community does provide. Such acquisitions could function as an addition to the present cable system in homes or as a standalone subscription service.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying condensed balance sheet at June 30, 2013 and the condensed statements of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are unaudited. The unaudited interim condensed balance sheet and condensed statements of operations and cash flows have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. Accordingly they do not include all of the footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for the year end financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and its cash flows for the three months ended June, 2013 and 2012 have been included.

 

The results of the Company’s operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Business Operations

 

Effective December 2012, the Company changed its business focus to the pursuit of the acquisition of Internet media companies which provide services to home entertainment and cable business.

 

The Company believes that the Internet’s direct connection to homes has provided the opportunity to build out an infrastructure that is uniquely suited to deliver high quality, high definition (HD), standard definition (SD) and creatively produced TV and Radio networks with programming at a dramatically reduced price to the network creators, TV and movie producers and of course subscribers. We believe that these programs could benefit the growing community who have recognized the sincere demand for quality, entertaining, and family friendly and clean moral lifestyle.

 

Management believes that acquisitions in this “space” could compete with the major cable systems by providing alternative programming that the cable community does not provide and does not desire to provide, especially when combined with the top networks that the cable community does provide. Such acquisitions could function as an addition to the present cable system in homes or as a standalone subscription service.

 

Letter of Intent With iPoint Television

 

Effective February 13, 2013, the Company entered into a Letter of Intent to acquire iPoint Television, LLC (“iPoint”). The Letter of Intent sets forth the framework pursuant to which the Company, iPoint and certain of its members will enter into a Share Exchange Agreement pursuant to which it is contemplated that the Company will exchange shares of common and preferred stock providing the members of iPoint majority voting control over the Company for over 90% of the outstanding ownership interests of iPoint. The result of the transaction will be that the members of iPoint (or certain of such members) will become the Company’s majority shareholders and iPoint will become a majority owned subsidiary of the Company. The parties plan to enter into a definitive Share Exchange Agreement, provided that the closing of the acquisition is subject to certain closing conditions, including conditions typical of acquisitions of this type and size. iPoint Television, also known as iPoint TV, is a Smart media and entertainment company, which holds development licenses from Apple, Android, Google, Roku, Kindle and most every smart device. iPoint is a full service Internet Protocol television (IPTV), media entertainment company which develops applications for mobile and TV smart devices. As of the date of this writing, the Company has suspended its planned acquisition of I-Point, TV

 

GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We incurred net losses of $473,886 and $1,550,619, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and had an accumulated deficit of $11,186,254 as of September 30, 2013.

  

We have managed our liquidity during the first two quarter of 2013 through cost reduction initiatives and the proceeds from the sale of common stock and issuances of convertible notes. The Company is in default on notes payable and outstanding judgments totaling $1,691,421 and $1,048,877 respectively, and expects to repay the notes payable, judgments and accrued interest plus all of its other liabilities from the proceeds derived from the operations of acquired companies, sell of stock, or a combination of both. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s abilities to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. 

 

LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

 

Net loss per common share was based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods when computing the basic net loss per share. When dilutive, stock options and warrants are included as equivalents using the treasury stock market method when computing the diluted net loss per share. As of the date of this filing, the company has convertible debt which is convertible into approximately, 47,991,970 shares of common stock, additionally, There were no additional dilutive options and warrants, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively.     

 

ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

NOTE 2 – TERM NOTES PAYABLE

 

Term notes payable consisted of the following at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

 

		September 30,  2013				December 31,  2012

The Company is in default on all of the notes payable.

NOTE 3 – CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES

 

As of the quarter ended June 30, 2013, The Company has outstanding four (4) Security Purchase Agreements with accredited investors for the sale of convertible promissory notes bearing interest at 8.0% per annum. Pursuant to the convertible promissory notes the investor may convert the amount paid towards the Securities Purchase Agreements into common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to 50% of the average of the 3 lowest volume weighted average trading prices during the 10 day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date. Trading price means the closing bid price on the OTC Market Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board Pink Sheets.  

 

The conversion rights embedded in the 8% Notes are accounted for as a derivative financial instruments because of the down round feature of the conversion price. The beneficial conversion feature was valued at the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes-Merton options pricing model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rates ranging from .11%, contractual expected life of nine (9) months, expected volatility of 236%, calculated using the historical closing price of the Company’s common stock, and dividend yield of zero, resulting in fair value at date of issuance of $151,337, for all four notes combined.

The Board of Directors authorized to fix the designations, rights, preferences, powers and limitations of each series of the Preferred Stock.

  

NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. This Topic defines fair value, establishes a measurement framework and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

The Company measures financial assets in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

 

Level 1 – Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, or interest in open-end mutual funds that allow a company to sell its ownership interest back at net asset value (“NAV”) on a daily basis. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets, liabilities or funds

 

Level 2 – Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer, or broker markets, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or quoted prices in markets that are not active

 

Level 3 – Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, such as options pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.

 

The availability of observable inputs can vary from instrument to instrument and in certain cases the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement of an instrument requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to the instrument.

 

Recurring Fair Value Measurement Valuation Techniques

 

The fair value for certain financial instruments is derived using pricing models and other valuation techniques that involve significant management judgment. The price transparency of financial instruments is a key determinant of the degree of judgment involved in determining the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. Financial instruments for which actively quoted prices or pricing parameters are available will generally have a higher degree of price transparency than financial instruments that are thinly traded or not quoted. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, the criteria used to determine whether the market for a financial instrument is active or inactive is based on the particular asset or liability. As a result, the valuation of these financial instruments included significant management judgment in determining the relevance and reliability of market information available. 

Level 3 Assets and Liabilities

  

Level 3 liabilities include instruments whose value is determined using pricing models and for which the determination of fair values requires significant management judgment or estimation. As of June 30, 2013 instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis categorized as Level 3 represented approximately 1.38% of the Company’s total liabilities.

 

Fair values of liabilities measured on a recurring basis at as follows:

 

Liabilities		Fair value				Level 1				Level 2				Level 3
Derivative financial instruments – September 30, 2013		$	182,771											$	182,771

 

NOTE 7 – NOTES PAYABLE - Affiliate

 

Former Member of Board of Directors

 

The Company has borrowed $1,250,000 for a former member of the Board of Directors. The two of the notes totaling $1,200,000 are unsecured. The third note totaling $50,000 is secured by a second is lien on the Company’s assets. The notes are default and the Company has included approximately $343,999 of accrued interest in accrued expenses.

Forward Looking Statements

 

Some of the statements made in this Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the reform act. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of the terminology such as may, will, expect, anticipate, intend, believe, estimate, should or continue or the negatives of these terms or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. To the extent that this report contains forward-looking statements regarding the financial condition, operating results, business prospects or any other aspect of our business, you should be aware that our actual financial condition, operating results and business performance may differ materially from that projected or estimated by us in the forward-looking statements. We have attempted to identify, in context, some of the factors that we currently believe may cause actual future experience and results to differ from their current expectations. These differences may be caused by a variety of factors including, but not limited to, adverse economic conditions, intense competition, including entry of new competitors, inability to obtain sufficient financing to support our operations, progress in research and development activities, variations in costs, fluctuations in foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar in countries where we source products, adverse federal, state and local government regulation, unexpected costs, lower sales and net income (or higher net losses, than forecasted), price increases for equipment, inability to raise prices, failure to obtain new customers, the possible fluctuation and volatility of our operating results and financial condition, inability to carry out marketing and sales plans, loss of key executives and other specific risks that may be alluded to in this report.

 

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report, which have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, and in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. As discussed in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, our recurring net losses and inability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations and sustain our operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also discussed in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including information with respect to our plans, intentions and strategies for our businesses. Our actual results may differ materially from those estimated or projected in any of these forward-looking statements.

 

Overview

 

Despite the cost reduction initiatives, the Company will be unable to pay its obligations in the normal course of business or service its debt in a timely manner throughout 2013 without raising additional debt and/or equity capital.

 

The Company is currently evaluating strategic alternatives that include the following: (i) raising of capital, or (ii) issuance of debt instruments.

Results of Operations

 

Plan of Operations

 

Effective in approximately December 2012, the Company changed its business focus to the pursuit of the acquisition of Internet media companies which provide services to home entertainment and cable business.

 

The Company believes that the Internet’s direct connection to homes has provided the opportunity to build out an infrastructure that is uniquely suited to deliver high quality, high definition (HD), standard definition (SD) and creatively produced TV and Radio networks with programming at a dramatically reduced price to the network creators, TV and movie producers and of course subscribers. We believe that these programs could benefit the growing community who have recognized the sincere demand for quality, entertaining, and family friendly and clean moral lifestyle.

 

Management believes that acquisitions in this “space” could compete with the major cable systems by providing alternative programming that the cable community does not provide and does not desire to provide, especially when combined with the top networks that the cable community does provide. Such acquisitions could function as an addition to the present cable system in homes or as a standalone subscription service.
