Dr. Dehryl Dennis resigned as a member of the board of directors of the Company to pursue other interests. Mr. Dennis’ resignation was effective as of January 31, 2014. There were no disagreements between the Company and Mr. Dennis regarding his resignation.

 

Britt Ide, joined the PCS Board of Directors in January of 2014.  Ms. Ide brings experience in engineering, law, mediation, communications, marketing, and social media.

 

 

Other Activities

 

  • In January of 2014, we renewed our D&O insurance on favorable terms for a one year period.

 

  • We continued to explore potential partnerships during FY2014, seeking opportunities and values that would strengthen PCS Edventures and advance shareholder value through improved sales and marketing, development, or operational efficiency. 

 

  • We continued to grow our long-term relationship with Edison schools’ Newton Learning Summer Adventures, now Catapult Learning, providing additional customized learning labs for their summer programs, as well as supplying them with materials authored and developed in previous years. The Edison Schools program has been the source of well over $1M in revenue since the inception of the relationship, and this first year of working with Catapult Learning generated over $300,000 in sales in Q4 FY2014.  These specialty programs, developed by PCS, range from primary stage camps in life science and biology to high school age activities in engineering, electronics, and robotics. Development, packaging, fulfillment, and support were further streamlined this year to improve efficiency and the overall customer experience.

 

  • We continued to develop our growing relationship with STEM Academy (“STEM 101”) in which PCS provides the robotics curriculum and Labs for their 6th and 8th grade programs, and are working on developing additional programs for their elementary and high school STEM solutions.

 

  • We have continued our work with T4EDU, a Saudi entity charged with managing education reform activities defined by the Saudi Ministry of Education, to bid on contracts for additional STEM consulting and development services related to the design, production and implementation of a nationwide network of science centers in Saudi Arabia, as part of the King Abdullah Education Initiative.  We announced a contract with T4EDU in September of 2013 for the development and delivery of up to $660K in STEM Outreach programs.  We announced a contract with T4EDU in January of 2014 for a $133K training contract related to Science Center programs and fulfilled the training in February of 2014.  We further expanded our statewide penetration of STEM programs into Idaho schools emphasizing our elementary STEM training program for classrooms throughout the state and partnering with the Idaho Commission for Libraries to deploy PCS STEM programs and robotics solutions into library programs around the state.

 

  • We further expanded our penetration into the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, a significant niche market for PCS afterschool products with over 5,000 sites across the United States. 

 

Our relationship with Creya Learning of India continues to evolve as they expand their network of installed sites in India.  Creya Learning licenses PCS STEM programs and installs them into private schools, charging schools a per-seat fee for each student that attends the STEM lab on a weekly basis.  At the conclusion of FY2014, Creya was still in their high selling season and did not have final numbers on the total number of schools now in their network.  These numbers will be released pending confirmation

 

In the summer of 2012, PCS launched and managed a pilot program for a new Learning Center model in partnership with Sage International Charter School in Boise.  The program successfully accomplished a number of things including the creation of a learning framework model for the future, an effective lab design and system established, annual learning and event calendar tested and established: successful holiday and retail product test marketing, and recruiting and training a strong core staff. The center was successfully used as a sales tool for generating institutional sales for PCS, a number of parent testimonials were accumulated on the benefits of the program, and a number of sales and marketing strategies and tactics were identified,  In May of 2013, PCS migrated the pilot program to a lab adjacent to its corporate offices at 345 Bobwhite Ct. Ste. 200 Boise, Idaho and began to ramp the operation for scaling.  In March of 2014 PCS secured funding for opening its second facility in Eagle, Idaho.

  • In January of 2014 PCS initiated partnership discussions with Curious Media, a world-class interactive software development company, to partner on the development of interactive educational software to support PCS robotics and engineering programs. The Discover Engineering 3D Interactive Curriculum and new and improved PCS Cortex robotics programming environment will incorporate the latest technologies available.

 

  • As of the conclusion of Q3, FY2014, Michael Brown, Director of Sales and Marketing, had doubled the size of the PCS sales team adding new direct sales representatives to the following markets: Seattle, Washington; Columbus, Ohio; and Atlanta, Georgia.   He is actively recruiting additional representatives to continue growing the sales force in major metropolitan areas around the United States. 

 

  • In January of 2014 PCS entered into a reseller agreement with Priority Education Solutions, a Vero Beach Florida sales and marketing as a PCS Edventures’ Authorized Reseller Partner. In contrast to other PCS reseller partnerships, Priority Education has a unique arrangement with PCS to assist in building a national direct sales force. Jim Hagedorn, the owner of Priority Education, is especially qualified for this mission, having a strong history of developing national sales teams in the education industry. During his ten-year stint as CEO of Educational Options – an online curriculum provider from Arlington, VA – Jim built a sales force that took the company from less than $1MM in annual sales to over $12MM. Mr. Hagedorn and Priority Education Solutions has agreed to promote PCS Edventures products as their flagship product line.

 

  • PCS applied for and was awarded Trade Adjustment Assistance funds during fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 in the amount of $75,000 to apply to the development and promotion of PCS programs to improve our competitiveness against foreign imports.  These matching funds are being used to improve and expand the PCS Robotics line of controllers, proprietary software, and curriculum solutions to take advantage of the rapidly growing robotics education market.  PCS continues to leverage these funds for development, promotion, and consulting where applicable. PCS has Trade Adjustment Assistance funds of approximately $10,000 in matching funds to use as of March 31, 2014.

 

Strategy.


 

              Our strategy is to design and develop brain-based learning educational products and services for the PreK-16 market that emphasize STEM topics and develop contemporary skills for the 21st century learner.  These skills include critical thinking, problem solving, innovation, creativity and communications.   PCS will market these products through direct sales and channel partners into various markets including domestic and International classrooms and afterschool programs.  In addition, we will deploy and market home and retail products and services through licensed, experiential- learning centers that will establish community presence and launch a subscription-based, virtual, experiential learning program.

 

Our strategy consists of:

 

  • Sales and marketing of the PCS BrickLab STEM program for elementary classrooms and afterschool programs.  The elementary opportunity is over 1MM classrooms and the BrickLab solution is demonstrated to effectively improve educators comfort level with STEM, enabling them to implement more STEM activities across their curriculum.  PCS has expanded curriculum and materials within its Bricklab line, added additional colors for girls, and created a special “Girls Can Build” program using BrickLab that will expand its appeal and reach.

  • Sales and marketing of our PCS Robotics programs consisting of the Brain, the Cortex, and our various lab configurations.  This focus will take advantage of the exploding robotics marketplace.  Our potential partnership with Curious Media would elevated the level of our software and hardware solution to new heights, and we now offer the only tablet based robotics programming environment available for K12 users.   PCS has designed a new robotics kit that we believe will give us a powerful competitive advantage based on price and features  and will be taking it to multiple channels in FY2015.
  • Using licensing and partnerships to drive the development of a global network of experiential-learning centers that will generate revenues and act as a sales and support network for PCS products and services.  Within these centers, PCS has developed a sophisticated, adaptive learning program that delivers a customized learning experience to students.  PCS began the virtualization of this program in FY2014 and will begin taking it online for testing with students in FY2015.  The ultimate goal is to expand this virtual software into a subscription service that can be scaled for high-margin, recurring revenues.
  • Expanding our sales reach through strategic partnerships that get our products in front of more educators.
  • Relentless commitment to making our products friendly and helpful for educators.  If our products make their job easier, our products will increase in popularity;
  • The continued emphasis on forward looking development of products and services, recognizing the challenges that educators will be facing in several years, and preparing our products to help them meet those challenges early.  We strive to be seen as thought leaders in the space;
  • Building PCS brand recognition and market appeal through a network of learning centers and strong commitment to customer loyalty;
  • Continuing to incorporate the latest in brain-based research to improve the effectiveness of our curriculum and content product;
  • Using the Internet and other digital technologies to bring our products and services to other areas, persons, and markets, to increase market penetration;

 

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk.


 

The Company promotes many of our products in the international market, and had established operations in Canada as a result of the acquisition of LabMentors up until its divestiture in FY2014. As a result, our statement of cash flows and operating results could be affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economies of foreign countries. Working capital necessary to continue operating our foreign subsidiary was held in local, Canadian currency, with additional funds used through the parent company being held in U.S. dollars. In accordance with SFAS 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”, all assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date and all revenues and expenditures are translated at the average rate for the period. Translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of stockholders' equity, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and the net change for the year reflected separately in the statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss). While our Canadian subsidiary provided approximately 5% of our revenue in fiscal year 2014, the sales and receivables are transacted in USD$ and thus there is not a significant exchange risk associated with those transactions.

 

Backlog.


 

Our unearned revenue was $68,467 at March 31, 2014. At the end of fiscal year 2014, the entire amount of unearned revenue is expected to be earned during fiscal years 2015 and 2016. Of the total listed in unearned revenue at March 31, 2014, $13,910 is for orders prepaid by customers, $15,319 and $39,238 are advanced royalties and license fees resulting from our agreement with Creya Learning of India  PCS, as part of the agreement with Creya Learning, will receive ongoing royalties on the tuition charged to students attending PCS based programs and royalties will be amortized as earned.  Each month, the license fees are amortized according to the length of the subscription/license.

Seasonality.


 

Our quarterly operating results fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the funding of customers, timing of product development and release, availability and timeliness of items required for assembly of the products, budget cycles, buying patterns of our customers, period ending dates, and the general health of the economy.  Our International projects and our learning center and retail product strategy are designed to offset these factors and smooth cash flow and revenue predictability over time.

 

Principal Products or Services and Their Markets.


 

The primary goal of the products and services we develop is to bring engaging, effective learning experiences to K12 students, experiences that can help them be successful in the 21st century workplace.   We do this through the delivery of innovative programs in our Edventures!

Here is a briefing of our current Strategic Business Units (SBU) and their markets:

 

Edventures! Lab Business Unit

 

              PCS plans to utilize its IP and former experience as an owner/operator of experiential learning centers to  establish a network of hands-on learning centers in the United States.  Students will study robotics, engineering, applied sciences, and other engaging and exciting subjects in an advanced afterschool program. These centers will provide a valuable service to parents, students, and schools and will also serve as product “showrooms” to facilitate the sale of PCS programs and services into the surrounding school districts.  Additional revenue streams from virtual subscription services, retail point of sale, and direct school sales are also anticipated. The first Edventures! Lab is operating as an R&D facility attached to the Boise corporate offices at this time and our second facility will be opening in Eagle, Idaho in June of 2014.

 

K6 Strategic Business Unit

 

With over 50,000 public elementary schools alone, the elementary classroom in the United States represents one of the largest markets in the education industry. We are expanding our sales channels to reach elementary teachers and district leaders in the U.S. We are gaining great traction and believe we will continue to thrive throughout the years. PCS K-6 programs for the elementary classroom consist of professional development and classroom resources that promote student centered learning, inquiry, and STEM topics.  K-6 products include ThinkBug, PCS BrickLabTM, PCS Academy of Engineering, PCS Academy of Robotics™ and Digital Media Labs.

 

Technical Education Strategic Business Unit

 

              Targeting the domestic technical education marketplace, which has an estimated 22,081 programs in the U.S, the Tech Ed SBU offers STEM products that meet the needs of technology teachers servicing grades 7-12 providing pre-engineering, computer science, and robotics solutions. With most educators and districts realizing the need for STEM education improvement, the Tech Ed SBU has a great product line to meet the market’s needs. A primary focus for the Tech Ed SBU is the exploding marketplace for robotics.  Markets for educational robotic kits at $27.5 million in 2007 are anticipated to reach $1.69 billion by 2014.  Tech Ed products include the PCS Academy of EngineeringTM,  PCSAcademy of Robotics™, and PCS Digital Media Labs.

 

Afterschool Strategic Business Unit

 

              Targeting the domestic afterschool marketplace, the PCS Afterschool SBU offers products that were specifically designed for the unique needs of the afterschool enrichment environment.  The market for afterschool programs in the United States is significant with specific market segments such as the Boys and Girls Clubs (4,000 sites) and the $1B 21st Century Community Learning Centers program. It continues to be one of our more successful markets and we believe that this trend will continue.  Afterschool products include the PCS BrickLabTM, Discover STEM Lab, the PCS Academy of Robotics ™ afterschool version, MINDS-i packages with PCS robotics and the PCS Digital Media Labs.

 

 

International Strategic Business Unit

 

              Internationally, PCS programs have a great deal of appeal  from the perspective of STEM education needs, and also as a catalyst for developing student-centered learning environments that emphasize 21st century skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, communications, and collaboration skills. PCS continues to explore opportunities in foreign markets. PCS takes great pride in being able to adapt its products to meet the diverse and unique needs of the international market place.

Marketing and Other Agreements. 


 

(i) In June 2011, we entered into a licensing agreement with Kindle Education, now Creya Learning, for the country of India and have provided support, curriculum, and training for their experiential learning programs. 

 

(ii) In April 2012, we entered into a distribution agreement with STEMfinity, an online source for a variety of STEM products. STEMfinity has proven to be a reliable source of orders with sales over $35,000 during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013 and with sales of $209K during FY2014.  We have a close relationship with STEMfinity and anticipate these sales numbers to continue to grow.

 

(iii) In January of 2014 we entered into a reseller agreement with Priority Education Solutions of Vero Beach, FL who has four sales staff directed by Jim Hagadorn, focusing on the Florida region with plans to expand with additional staff into additional geography.

 

Distribution Methods of the Products or Services.


 

All products are drop shipped from the manufacturer or shipped through a preferred provider from our warehouse to the specified customer.

 

 

Status of any Publicly Announced New Product or Service.


 

PCS continues to strengthen and develop the core line of STEM products and services. During the course of FY2014:

             

PCS developed three new summer camp programs for Catapult (formerly Newton Learning).

 

PCS is in partnership discussion with Curious Media to collaboratively develop new educational software for its Discover Engineering kit and for its Discover Robotics kit.   The new software brings cutting edge, tablet-based blended learning applications to the education market

 

PCS developed and delivered a training academy program to Saudi Arabian science educators.

 

PCS developed and fulfilled a number of STEM outreach education modules to Tatweer for Education, a Saudi Arabian entity charged with executing Saudi Ministry of Education initiatives.

 

 

Competitive Business Conditions and the Small Business Issuer's Competitive Position in the Industry

and Methods of Competition.


 

The education industry is highly competitive, fragmented, and is rapidly evolving around the STEM disciplines. We expect the industry to continue to undergo significant and rapid technology change.  The Nationwide economic difficulties continue to cause budget deficits, teacher layoffs, and program reductions, which may impede industry growth. 

 

Competitors in the STEM marketplace include a variety of publishers, technical education companies and non-profit solution providers including VEX, Pitsco, LabVolt, Pasco, LEGO® Education, McGraw Hill and Project Lead the Way. These companies along with new entrants into the market may develop products and services and technologies superior to our products that may result in our products and services becoming less competitive. Many of the companies that are established or are entering the market have substantially greater financial, manufacturing, marketing, technical resources and established historical channels than we have and represent significant long-term competition. To the extent that these companies may offer comparable products and services at lower prices or higher quality and more cost effective, our business could be adversely affected.

Potential Competitive Advantages.


 

We believe that we have and continue to develop certain additional competitive advantages that we will attempt to maximize in developing and implementing our business strategy.

 

Experiential learning centers - We believe the establishment of a network of experiential learning centers, based on our curriculum, products and expertise in afterschool programs, will yield us a significant competitive advantage through improved presence in key markets for both sales and support.  The establishment of these centers, in addition to providing revenues from operations, creates a dynamic showroom that can be used for sales demonstrations, product training and support activities, and promotional events within the targeted community.

 

              Professional development - Our BrickLab professional development institute conducted from 2008-2010 resulted in the successful deployment of this product into hundreds of Idaho elementary classrooms and the production of University authored research now available for educators and administrators through the American Association of Engineering Education (ASEE).  This research documents the effectiveness of the Bricklab Institute in improving teacher attitudes and their comfort level in conducting STEM activities in the elementary classroom. The network of active teachers also provides PCS with a strong community of program advocates from which PCS can leverage and expand the program.  Since elementary teachers are typically more comfortable with language arts than STEM topics, the BrickLab Institute provides a proven solution to a prevalent problem for elementary principals across the country.

 

              Robotics programs - Our PCS Robotics programs are specifically designed to accommodate needs in the education marketplace that were identified through years of experience with K12 robotics.  The result is less expensive, more flexible robotics solution that has the ability to integrate into every robotic educator’s classroom.  Specific examples of this flexibility include a multi-level programming environment that naturally evolves in complexity to match the needs of the student, an open physical architecture that provides hooks for all major manipulative manufacturers including fischertechnik®,  LEGO®, K’NEX®, MINDS-i, VEX, erector, and even industry standard Radio Control (R/C) components.  The open physical architecture of our microcontroller and its basis on the highly popular Arduino platform provides educators and robotic enthusiasts a highly flexible solution.  With the release of our new Cortex v. 5.0, PCS will be the only K12 education company offering a tablet based programming environment for robotics.  We hope to maintain this competitive advantage through constant innovation of new and better enhancements to our programs.

 

Learning frameworks - Our unique learning framework is designed for managing and facilitating non-formal education provides us with in-house capabilities unavailable through other channels.  Initially designed over a decade ago, the PCS Merit System is a non-formal learning framework that provides flexibility, adaptability, and a variety of unique characteristics that create a highly effective pedagogical model unavailable elsewhere.

 

Forward looking processes - Our forward looking educational development processes include mapping our curriculum and products against future trends such as the upcoming Next Generation Science Standards, the Common Core, and the NAEP’s mandated technology and engineering literacy assessment to be implemented nationwide in the US in 2014.

 

Our use of the Internet as a delivery and support mechanism for the programs - By leveraging our expertise in experiential learning and our potential software partnership with Curious Media, PCS believes it can achieve the following significant advantages: (1) a high level of program control and protection; (2) the building of a significant data model regarding program usage; (3) a direct channel to our users who are migrating towards digital e-reading devices; and 4) a long term strategy that includes a high-margin subscription model for access to our digital educational services.   Each of these advantages provides tangible long-term benefits to the Company.

 

Organic expansion of program offerings - After implementing and proving a successful program model, PCS believes it can leverage its high level of customer satisfaction to expand current and additional programs designed to integrate seamlessly into the already deployed sites. This creates a long-term growth strategy that includes new and residual sales to an ever-growing list of customers.

 

The flexibility of products and staff to align STEM solutions to multiple types of users - Our in-house intellectual capital has experience in a variety of educational environments and has demonstrated an ability to create highly effective solutions for specific niche markets.  This extensive experience of almost 25 years in STEM education provides PCS with an advantage over competitors with less experience in STEM education.

 

13

 

PCS believes the contiguous nature of its products creates a system that provides a competitive advantage over other companies who may have single product offerings or products with no systemic approach or plan.  This system begins at the PreK level and extends through college.  School districts seeking a systemic approach to STEM education will find the PCS approach comprehensive.

 

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and the Names of Principal Suppliers.


 

We currently do not manufacture the products that accompany our curriculum and are dependent on vendors for our supply of these products.  We believe that efficient purchasing is a key factor in maintaining our competitiveness.  The following is a list of vendors for our key products:  I.B.A., MINDS-i, Fischertechnik, K’NEX, Q-Smart Robot Technologies, Gratnells, Office Value and Ingram Micro.

 

Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers.


 

In general, the PCS customer base is growing rapidly which will reduce dependence on what are emerging to be our major customers, however the following three are important to recognize: 1)  Catapult Learning, formerly Edison Schools’ Newton Learning, is a significant customer, placing orders of $250K or more annually.  In FY2014 Catapult orders were $340K;   2) STEMfinity, a PCS reseller, has been growing steadily with orders of $35K in FY2013, and orders of $198K in FY2014; and 3) Tatweer Holding Company (THC) is a Riyadh based, government-owned company dedicated to education development in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.  PCS conducted $106K in business with THC in FY2013; signed contracts for $793K in FY2014, and invoiced $168K to THC for FY2014 with additional materials related to these contracts invoicing in FY2015.

 

Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements or Labor Contracts, including Duration.


 

We seek to protect our technology, documentation, and other written materials under trade secret and copyright laws, which afford only limited protection. Generally, we enter into confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements with our key vendors and suppliers. At the present time, we have not applied for any patents, nor do we have any patents pending. We anticipate that our products will not be the type for which patent protection will be sought. However, we may file for patent protection on certain aspects of our proprietary technology in the future.

 

PCS holds registered trademarks and common law rights on numerous trademarks used in its business.  It also has filed trademark registration applications that are outstanding.

 

Although we believe that our products have been independently developed and that we do not infringe on any third party rights, third parties may, in the future, assert infringement claims against us. We may be required to modify our products, trademarks, and/or technology or to obtain licenses to permit our continued use of those rights. We may not be able to do so in a timely manner or upon reasonable terms and conditions and as such failure to do so could irreparably harm the Company and/or our operating results.

 

We currently have curriculum royalty agreements with GibsonTech. The agreement with Gibson Tech, which was renewed in FY2012, is for cash royalty payments based on sales of our PCS Academy of Electronics™ product.  An agreement with Jackie DeLuna, that was for cash royalty payments based on sales of our Digital Photography lab product(s) expired March 31, 2012.

 

Need for any Government Approval of Principal Products or Services.


 

None, not applicable.

Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on the Business.


 

 Exchange Act.

 

We are subject to the following regulations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and applicable securities laws, rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  Compliance with these requirements of the Exchange Act also substantially increases our legal and accounting costs.

 

Smaller Reporting Company.

 

We are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 of the Exchange Act, and subject to the disclosure requirements of Regulation S-K of the SEC, as a “smaller reporting company.”  That designation will relieve us of some of the informational requirements of Regulation S-K.

 

Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

 

We are also subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  The Sarbanes-Oxley Act created a strong and independent accounting oversight board to oversee the conduct of auditors of public companies and strengthens auditor independence.  It also requires steps to enhance the direct responsibility of senior members of management for financial reporting and for the quality of financial disclosures made by public companies; establishes clear statutory rules to limit, and to expose to public view, possible conflicts of interest affecting securities analysts; creates guidelines for audit committee members’ appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of public companies’ auditors; management assessment of our internal controls; prohibits certain insider trading during pension fund blackout periods; requires companies and auditors to evaluate internal controls and procedures; and establishes a federal crime of securities fraud, among other provisions. Compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act substantially increases our legal and accounting costs.

 

Reporting Obligations.

 

Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act requires all companies with securities registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act to comply with the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding proxy solicitations, as outlined in Regulation 14A.  Matters submitted to stockholders of our Company at a special or annual meeting thereof or pursuant to a written consent will require our Company to provide our stockholders with the information outlined in Schedules 14A or 14C of Regulation 14; preliminary copies of this information must be submitted to the SEC at least 10 days prior to the date that definitive copies of this information are forwarded to our stockholders.

 

We will also be required to file annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q with the SEC on a regular basis, and will be required to timely disclose certain material events (e.g., changes in corporate control; acquisitions or dispositions of a significant amount of assets other than in the ordinary course of business; and bankruptcy) in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Cost and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws.


 

None, not applicable.

 

 

 

 

Number of Total Employees and Number of Full Time Employees.


 

We employ approximately thirteen full-time employees. Premiere Science Inc does not currently have any active operations and does not employ any employees at this time. We will hire part-time and additional full-time employees on an “as-needed” basis. We have not experienced a shortage of qualified employees.  None of our employees are a party to a collective bargaining unit and we believe that our relationship with our employees is good.

Item 1A - Risk Factors.


 

Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide this information; however, you should be aware that an investment in the Company is highly speculative and subject to numerous risks.  You should consider the following most notable risk factors together with all the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock.  This list is not to be considered all inclusive.

 

Risks Related to our Business.

 

Ability to Raise Capital

 

              We have a history of significant operating losses and may not be able to achieve sustained profitability if we are unable to increase revenue from our new products and marketing efforts.  To achieve sustained profitability, we will need to implement changes to existing business processes and improve our cost cutting efforts in addition to driving revenue growth.  This history of operating losses could impede our future ability to raise capital.

 

Potential Loss of Intellectual Property

 

The Company has pledged its Intellectual Property as collateral for notes payable as discussed in Note 8.   Risk of loss of the underlying IP exists should the Company default on these notes.

 

Education Funding

 

The education market is heavily dependent on support from federal, state and local governments.  These government agencies have realized budget cuts and the government appropriations process is often slow and unpredictable.  Funding difficulties can negatively impact our ability to increase revenue.

 

International Expertise

 

Our attempt to enter international markets introduces political and cultural risk.  As a small company, we do not have extensive experience in international business arrangements and will need to rely on certain outside expertise which can be costly.

 

Item 1B-Unresolved Staff Comments.


 

None.

 

Item 2. Property.

 

Location. 


 

The Company leases its Principal executive offices in Boise, Idaho. On December 31, 2013 the Company signed an amendment to an existing contract to lease 5,412 square feet for $6,765/ month for 12 months ending December 31, 2014.

The Company leases additional warehouse space in Boise, Idaho. This warehouse space consists of approximately 2,880 square feet. Rent obligations are approximately $1,400/month under a non-cancelable operating lease that expired June 30, 2012. The lease was extended effective July 1, 2012, at a rate of $1,325/month for 24 months.

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans. 


 

              On August 27, 2009, the Board of Directors adopted and the shareholder’s approved the PCS Edventures!.com, Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (“2009 Plan”). The 2009 Plan was designed to replace the existing 2004 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan (“2004 Plan”). The 2009 Plan provides for the grant of various types of equity instruments, including grants of restricted and unrestricted PCS common stock as well as options and other types of awards. The 2009 Plan was implemented to align the interests of the Company’s employees with those of the shareholders and to motivate, attract, and retain its employees and provide an incentive for outstanding performance.

Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) Registration Exemption Relied Upon

 

              Unless otherwise exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), we issued these securities to persons who were either “accredited investors” or “sophisticated investors” as those terms are respectively defined in Rules 501 and 506 of the SEC; and each person had prior access to all material information about us.  We believe that the offer and sale of these securities was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Sections 4(2) and 4(6) thereof, and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Exchange Commission.  Section 18 of the Securities Act preempts state registration requirements for sales to these classes of persons, save for compliance with state notice and fee requirements, as may be applicable.  Shares issued under the 2009 Plan have been registered on Form S-8 of the SEC; however, in many instances, shares issued or granted under the 2009 Plan were issued as “restricted securities” under Board of Director resolutions as indicated above.

 

Use of Proceeds of Registered Securities

 

              There were no proceeds received during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, from the sale of registered securities.

Plan of Operation.

 

 

In fiscal year 2015, PCS will expand its commitment to the research and development of PreK-12, brain-based learning programs in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) that embed 21st century thinking skills and new technologies through the deployment of Edventures Lab programs starting in Boise, Idaho with a second site opening in Eagle, Idaho in June of 2014 and the deployment of its new tablet-based interactive software for engineering and robotics   The PCS strategic plan focuses on three initiatives which work together to create a long term plan for rapid growth:

 

1) Domestic STEM program sales into the K12 STEM marketplace consisting of afterschool and in-school customers.

2) Consumer and retail STEM offerings through the Edventures Lab program.

4) Specialized consulting and educational services that provide K-12 STEM educational solutions for the international market 

 

 

Fiscal year 2014 saw progress on all three of these initiatives as we expanded our domestic sales presence, created partnerships to strengthen our product offerings, closed significant International contracts in Saudi Arabia, and expanded our Edventures Lab program. 

 

During fiscal year 2015 we will continue to build upon these successes through pursuing additional contracts overseas, expanding our domestic sales force further, and preparing for scaling additional Edventures Lab sites.    The PCS Edventures Lab concept is a key strategic addition to our plan as they will serve the following purposes: 1) R&D test bed for product improvement and refinement; 2) Revenue generation through afterschool and summer course fees, a revenue stream that will be more predictable and consistent compared to the seasonal revenues associated with education budgets; 3) The centers will serve as showrooms for PCS products in strategic locations and key districts around the country.  We believe this will provide PCS with significant competitive advantages over other solution providers since administrators and educators can visit local centers for support, training, and demonstrations of our products in action; 4) Revenues from experiential retail.  We believe e-commerce sales of kits associated with STEM learning targeting the families of students attending the courses will provide a boost in Q3 revenues to offset low education sales traditionally anticipated during this time frame; and 5) the Edventures Lab sites will establish the basis for expanding a subscription-based, digital learning network into targeted communities that will eventually span the United States.

 

To capitalize on the expansion of the Edventures Lab, we are actively pursuing funding vehicles such as private equity and licensing arrangements.  Our plan to refine operations in our first center in Boise was successful and we are deploying a second program in Eagle Idaho opening in June of  2014.  A third site, our first licensee, is under development at this time.  The establishment of this initial network of centers will establish the groundwork required for scaling in FY2015 and beyond.  We believe the strategic deployment of Edventures Labs to be a viable and sound approach based on our initial trial programs.

 

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.

 

 

Operating Results - Overview. 

 

Fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 resulted in a net loss from continuing operations of ($930,635) as compared to the net loss from continuing operations during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 of ($542,051). This is an increase in of $388,589 or approximately 72%, from the net loss for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013. The Basic Loss per Share for fiscal year 2014 and 2013 was ($0.02) and ($0.01), respectively.  Details of changes in revenues and expenses can be found below. 

 

22

 

Operating Results From Discontinued Operations.

 

 

On November 30, 2005, PCS entered into an agreement with 511092 N.B. LTD., a Canadian corporation, (LabMentors) to exchange PCS common stock for common stock of 511092 N.B. LTD. as disclosed in the 8-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 9, 2005 and amended on February 15, 2006.  As a result of the definitive Share Exchange Agreement, 511092 N.B. LTD. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  In December 2005, the name of this subsidiary was formally changed to PCS LabMentors, Ltd. The Company divested the wholly owned subsidiary, PCS LabMentors, Ltd in August of 2013.

 

During fiscal year 2014, all PCS LabMentors, Ltd results of operations were separated and classified as Discontinued. Revenues for discontinued operations for the period April 1, 2013 through August 31, 2013 were $46,901 compared to twelve-month period ended March 31, 2013, revenues of $159,082. Cost of sales for discontinued operations for the period April 1, 2013 through August 31, 2013 was $20,022 compared to twelve-month period ended March 31, 2013, cost of sales of $78,113.  Operating and other expense for discontinued operations for the period April 1, 2013 through August 31, 2013 were $57,459 compared to twelve-month period ended March 31, 2013, operating and other expense of $201,383.

 

Operating Results Revenues.

 

 

Consolidated revenues, excluding revenues from discontinued operations, for the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2014, were $1,855,711 a decrease of $920,262 or 33%, as compared to $2,775,973 for the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to two events: 1)  a large order we received from a single customer for implementation of robotics labs into a number of after-school sites in FY2013 was not repeated in FY2014; 2 A large contract fulfillment with T4EDU in Saudi Arabia will be invoice and recognized in fiscal year 2015 due to delay in shipment; the contract was being negotiated at the end of FY and will recognized in early 2015.  Although overall revenues were down due to these two events, tracking domestic revenues year over year show steady growth in direct domestic sales, channel partners, Edventures Lab revenues, and International projects. 

 

Operating Results Cost of Goods Sold/Cost of Sales.

 

 

Consolidated Cost of Sales, excluding cost of sales from discontinued operations, for the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2014, decreased $378,121 or 29% to $911,808 as compared to $1,289,929 for the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2013.  The FY2014 as a percent of revenue to cost of goods sold was $49%.  The change was mainly due to fulfilling the orders associated with the additional revenues generated during the fiscal year. Included in PCS’ cost of goods sold are variable costs including sales commissions, shipping expenses and product royalty payments. In addition, LabMentors has minimal variable costs. Cost of goods sold for FY2014 as a percent of revenues was consistent with FY2013 at 46%.

 

Operating Results Operating Expenses.

 

 

Operating expenses excluding assets from discontinued operations, for the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2014, decreased by ($101,666)  or 6%  to $1,696,898 as compared to $1,798,655 for the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2013. The table below identifies the year over year changes:

3)       Contract Labor increased due to use of specialized contractors working on a project basis in the Learning Center, Domestic and International product development, and administration.

 

4)       Marketing Expense increased with an increase in public and media relations, lead generation campaigns, and tradeshow attendance expense and related travel.

 

5)       Bad debt increased with allowance for the entire note receivable from the sale of Labmentors.

 

6)       Board Compensation decreased by the resignation of two board member’s forfeited restricted stock units.

 

 

Operating Results – Other Income/Expenses.

___________________________________________________________________________________________

 

              Total other income (expense) for fiscal years 2014 and 2013 was ($177,549) and ($229,439) respectively; a change of 23%.  The change was primarily due to  no derivatives valuations during the fiscal year.

 

Liquidity.

 

 

As of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, we had $27,860 in cash, with total current assets of $777,327 and total current liabilities of $1,484,959. We have an accumulated deficit of ($38,170,186), and shareholder’s equity of ($1,219,954).

 

The Company has a working capital deficit of $707,632 at March 31, 2014. The working capital deficit for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 was $615,541. The Company has a current ratio at March 31 of 0.52 and 0.45 for fiscal years 2014 and 2013, respectively.  This increase in liquidity was due primarily to the fiscal year 2014 ending inventory included a very large order that shipped the first week of FY2015, extension of notes payable of $303,745 for two years, and accounts receivable contained a large receivable that paid the first week of FY2015.

 

Critical Accounting Policies.

 

 

Estimates.

 

 

Our discussion herein and analysis thereof is based upon our financial statements in Item 7 below, which have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of the United States (GAAP). The preparation of these statements requires management to make estimates and best judgments that affect the reported amounts. See Note 4 contained in Item 7 for additional discussions of these and other accounting policies and disclosures required by GAAP.

 

24

 

Concentration of Credit Risks and Significant Customers.

 

 

The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

 

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist primarily of trade receivables. In the normal course of business, the Company provides credit terms to its customers. Accordingly, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for possible losses which when realized have been within the range of management's expectations. The Company does not require collateral from its customers.

 

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, the Company had sales to two major customers that accounted for 28% and 13% of total consolidated revenue as of March 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

The same two customers also accounts for 86% and 31% of total account receivable as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 respectively.  See Note 4 to the financial statements for additional information.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

 

 

The Company includes fair value information in the notes to financial statements when the fair value of its financial instruments is different from the book value.  When the book value approximates fair value, no additional disclosure is made.

 

Foreign Currency Translation.

 

 

The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The Company’s financial statements include translations for the LabMentors subsidiary, which are maintained in Canadian dollars. All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date and all revenues and expenditures are translated at the average rate for the period. Translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of stockholders' equity, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and the net change for the year reflected separately in the statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss).

 

In accordance with the financial accounting standard pertaining to the “Statement of Cash Flows,” the cash flows of the Company are translated using the weighted average exchange rates during the respective period. As a result, amounts in the statement of cash flows related to changes in assets and liabilities will not necessarily agree with the changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet that were translated at the exchange rate at the end of the period.

 

Educational Software.

 

 

The Company's inventory consists partially of internally developed education computer programs and exercises to be accessed on the Internet. In accordance with the financial accounting standard pertaining to internally developed software, the costs associated with research and initial feasibility of the programs and exercises are expensed as incurred. Once economic feasibility has been determined, the costs to develop the programs and exercises are capitalized until they are ready for sale and access and are reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalized program and exercise inventory are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the program or exercise, generally 24 to 48 months.

 

Intellectual Property.

 

 

The Company’s intellectual property consists of capitalized costs associated with the development of the Internet software and delivery platform developed by the Company to enable access to the various educational programs and exercises developed by the Company. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as discussed previously regarding inventory, the initial costs associated with researching the delivery platform and methods were expensed until economic feasibility and acceptance were determined. Thereafter, costs incurred to develop the Internet online delivery platform and related environments were capitalized until ready for sale. Costs incurred thereafter to maintain the delivery and access platform are expensed as incurred. These capitalized costs were amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the Company’s delivery and access platform that was determined to be 60 months. As of March 31, 2012 Intellectual Property was fully amortized.

 

 

25

 

Property and Equipment.

 

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are being depreciated for financial accounting purposes on the straight-line method over their respective estimated useful lives ranging from three to seven years. Upon retirement or other disposition of these assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gains or losses are reflected in the results of operations. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations. Renewals and betterments are capitalized.

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets.

 

 

We recorded our acquisition of LabMentors in accordance with the financial accounting standards issued by the FASB.  We allocate the cost of acquired companies to the tangible and identified intangible assets and liabilities acquired with the remaining amount being recorded as goodwill. Certain intangible assets, such as acquired technology, are amortized (see Intellectual Property above).

 

The most recent acquisition did not have significant tangible assets, and, as a result, the majority of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill, which increases the potential for impairment charges that we may incur in the future.

 

We account for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with the financial accounting standards issued by the FASB pertaining to “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Under this standard, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized to expense and must be reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment might have occurred. These events could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, a decline in operating performance, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business, or other factors.  Specifically, goodwill impairment is determined using a two-step process.  The first step used to identify potential impairment is the comparison of the fair value of the item with its carrying amount, including goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. We operate as one company, and, therefore, compare our book value to market value, which management must determine upon review based on similar transactions. If our fair value exceeds our book value, our goodwill is considered not impaired and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the book value exceeds the fair value, the goodwill is considered to be impaired and management must measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. For the measurement step, if the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds the estimated fair value of the goodwill, an impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The fair value estimate requires that future cash flows relating to the acquisition, in this case, be forecasted. These forecasts require management to make assumptions on the future sale of current and future products and services, future market conditions, technological advances, future growth rates, and discount rates utilized. Any loss recognized cannot exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill. After an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of goodwill is its new accounting basis. The Company’s evaluation of goodwill and intangible assets completed at March 31, 2012, resulted in a full impairment.  This impairment was recorded as an operating expense of $202,688 with respect to the goodwill.  As of March 31, 2012, amortizable intangible assets were comprised of educational software being amortized over the estimated useful life of the program or exercise, generally 24 to 48 months.  The Company recognized $92,468 of impairment of intangible assets pertaining to the education software acquired with and subsequently developed at LabMentors.  Due to the impairment at March 31, 2012, the entire balance of intangible assets was amortized. No additions occurred during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014.

 

Despite the goodwill and intangible asset impairments described, the Company’s Lab Mentors subsidiary had continuing operations and continued to produce revenue until it’s sale in fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 

 

 

26

 

Options/Warrants and Shares Issued for Services.

 

 

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the accounting standard pertaining to “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation,” which establishes accounting for stock-based payment transactions for employee services and goods and services received from non-employees. The Company is required to recognize expense of options or similar equity instruments issued to employees using the fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based payments.  This standard covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. Application of this pronouncement requires significant judgment regarding the assumptions used in the selected option pricing model, including stock price volatility and employee exercise behavior. Most of these inputs are either highly dependent on the current economic environment at the date of grant or forward-looking over the expected term of the award.

 

The Company accounts for shares issued to employees and others based upon the prior day closing price of our common stock as of grant date.

 

Acquisitions.

 

 

Our strategy is to investigate companies and/or assets for acquisition that continue to increase our product depth, market penetration, and synergies within the Company.   The Company has made no acquisitions over the last three years.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.

 

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2014.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

 

To the Board of Directors

PCS Edventures!.com, Inc. and Subsidiary

Boise, Idaho

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PCS Edventures!.com, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PCS Edventures!.com, Inc. and Subsidiary as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods described above in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered reoccurring losses and negative cash flow from operations, both of which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

PCS EDVENTURES!.COM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2014 and 2013
 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

 

The consolidated financial statements presented are those of PCS Edventures!.com, Inc., an Idaho corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiary, PCS LabMentors, Ltd., a Canadian company (collectively, “the Company”). On July 31, 2013, the Company signed a Memorandum of Understanding with a Canadian company owned by Joseph Khoury (“JAK”) proposing a purchase agreement in which JAK shall purchase LabMentors from PCS for USD $150,000. This sale was finalized during the period ending September 30, 2013. (see NOTE 18)

 

On August 3, 1994, PCS Education Systems, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of Idaho to develop and operate stand-alone learning labs.

 

In October 1994, PCS exchanged common stock on a one-for-one basis for common stock of PCS Schools, Inc. As a result of this exchange, PCS Schools, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of PCS.  In the late 1990s, the Company divested the stand-alone learning labs to focus more on a hands-on module coupled with web-based technology for use in the classroom.

 

On March 27, 2000, PCS changed its name from PCS Education Systems, Inc. to PCS Edventures!.com, Inc.

 

On November 30, 2005, PCS entered into an agreement with 511092 N.B. LTD., a Canadian corporation, (LabMentors) to exchange PCS common stock for common stock of 511092 N.B. LTD. as disclosed in the 8-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 9, 2005 and amended on February 15, 2006.  As a result of the definitive Share Exchange Agreement, 511092 N.B. LTD. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  In December 2005, the name of this subsidiary was formally changed to PCS LabMentors, Ltd. The Company divested the wholly owned subsidiary in August of 2013.

 

On January 31, 2013, PCS Edventures!.com, Inc. formed a subsidiary called Premiere Science Inc. incorporated and registered in the State of Idaho. The subsidiary is 100% wholly owned by PCS Edventures!.com,Inc. and was formed to use as an additional sales and marketing tool to gain other business opportunities. There were no operations for the subsidiary during the fiscal years  ended March 31, 2013 and  March 31, 2014.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN 

 

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The established sources of revenues are not sufficient to cover the Company’s operating costs. The Company has accumulated significant losses and payables and generated negative cash flows. The combination of these items raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with respect to alleviating this adverse position are as follows:    

 

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, PCS continued its transition to more effective marketing and sales strategies including focused targeting of afterschool markets and building a personal sales force to penetrate the classroom market.  PCS doubled its field sales force in Q3 and Q4 and plans to continue this expansion in FY2015.  PCS also recognizes that its experience in operating learning centers creates a unique opportunity to supplement the current PCS business model through opening learning centers through licensing arrangements that will facilitate fast growth.  This approach combines PCS expertise in experiential learning with its considerable store of intellectual property comprised of learning frameworks, content, proprietary hardware, and software developed over the past two decades while increasing the throughput of our existing direct sales efforts.  This marketing approach will incorporate the large body of PCS intellectual property into an afterschool program that families will pay tuition to attend.

 

The business plan proposes the continued promotion and growth of the PCS Learning Center to further demonstrate proof of the concept, and the opening of a second learning center in the Boise market in FY2015. The premise of the business plan is two-fold: 1) learning center revenues will be more consistent and predictable for the Company to plan and manage cash and growth; and 2) an established network of learning centers will serve as highly effective “showrooms” for sales of PCS products and services into neighboring districts.   Also of note, close partnerships with schools provide an opportunity to test and improve PCS products on a regular basis.

 

34  

 

Also related to the learning center business, PCS signed a license and royalty agreement with Creya Learning of India (CL). CL will use PCS content and support services to implement experiential learning curriculums into Indian schools and to build out a network of experiential learning centers in India that will function as premier afterschool locations as well as product showrooms.  PCS, as part of the agreement, will receive ongoing royalties on the tuition charged to students attending PCS based programs.  Also, in Q3, FY2014, PCS was awarded a $660K base contract for the development of STEM outreach programs by Tatweer Holding Company (THC) of Saudi Arabia and in Q4, PCS was awarded a $133K STEM training contract by THC.  PCS continues to pursue additional international opportunities to offset the continued challenges to the domestic economy and to take advantage of global market needs for PCS type products and services.

 

Product development in FY2014 has focused on continued improvements and refinements to PCS products and curriculum, primarily engineering with its new 3D interactive curriculum and with PCS Robotics related materials as we pursue an aggressive upgrade strategy with our hardware and software.  Executive management continues in its conviction that the K12 educational robotics market represents a viable market opportunity for PCS. 

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, revenue was $707,147 up 54% from the same quarter last year, the Company had a net loss of ($202,467), compared to a loss of ($260,247) in the same quarter last year which was a significant improvement. Revenue for the twelve months ended March 31, 2014, were $1,855,711, a decrease of 33% compared to the same period in the prior year.  Net loss for the twelve month period ended March 31, 2014 was ($961,215). Net loss for the same period of the prior year, after the derivative charge of $78,408 for the change in fair value of the derivatives related to a portion of our debt (see Note 8 and 9) was ($671,565).  Cash flow from operations for the twelve months ended was $(1,122,778).

 

While the efforts put in by management and the entire employee team are beginning to be realized, as illustrated by the improved results during the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2014, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to successfully accomplish the plans described to raise capital as needed, to continue to monitor and reduce overhead costs, and to attain profitable operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern

NOTE 4 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

 

a. Accounting Method

 

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a March 31 year-end.

 

 

35

 

b. Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

c. Concentration of Credit Risks and Significant Customers

 

The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables. In the normal course of business, the Company provides credit terms to its customers. Accordingly, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for possible losses which when realized have been within the range of management's expectations. The Company does not require collateral from its customers. The Company has established an allowance for doubtful accounts of $4,063 and $2,669 for the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

During one of the last two fiscal years ending March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, the following major customers exceeded 10% of revenue:

Catapult Learning

  280,341   87%     26,724   22%  
                 

 

 

d. Foreign Currency Translation

 

The functional currency of our subsidiary is considered the local currency. Our PCS LabMentors' subsidiary has a functional currency in Canadian dollars (CAD). The subsidiary’s financial statements have been translated into US dollars in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles regarding foreign currency translation.   All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date and all revenues and expenditures are translated at the average rate for the period. Translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of stockholders' equity, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and the net change for the year are reflected separately in the statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss). Through this, all of the Company’s financial documents are stated within the functional currency of the parent company, which is the United States dollar (USD).

 

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles regarding the presentation of the Statement of Cash Flows, the cash flows of the subsidiary are translated using the weighted average exchange rates during the respective period. As a result, amounts in the statement of cash flows related to changes in assets and liabilities will not necessarily agree with the changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet that was translated at the exchange rate at the end of the period.

e. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted guidance which defines fair value, establishes a framework for using fair value to measure financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Beginning on January 1, 2009, the Company also applied the guidance to non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, which includes goodwill and intangible assets. The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

The following schedule summarizes the valuation of financial instruments at fair value on a non-recurring basis in the balance sheets as of March 31, 2014. The derivative liability ended on January 14, 2013 when the promissory note was repaid in full.

The following table presents assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value as of March 31, 2013 on a non-recurring basis:

*The derivative liability ended on January 14, 2013 when the promissory note was repaid in full.

 

The standard issued by the FASB concerning the fair value option for financial assets and liabilities became effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The standard establishes a fair value option that permits entities to choose to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value options have been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. For the periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 there were no applicable items on which the fair value option was elected.

 

f. Revenue Recognition 

 

PCS recognizes revenue for its two revenue streams: Product (Learning Labs) and Licensing in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards pertaining to revenue recognition of single unit and/or multiple deliverables.

 

The Company recognizes product revenue in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards, which is codified under FASB ASC Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition,” under which revenue is recognized when it is realizable and when earned.

 

Licensing Revenue is in relation to the sales of the learning labs. This revenue is based on a contractual term of one year, which begins when the physical lab is shipped to the customer. Should the customer terminate the licensing prior to the expiration of the contract, PCS does not have an obligation to refund any portion of the fees. As such, revenue is amortized and recorded over the life of the contractual license, in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards.

 

 

37  

 

g. Business Combinations

 

There were no business combinations during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

h. Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements consolidate the accounts of the parent company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated through consolidation.

 

i. Provision for Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. 

 

The Company recorded net deferred tax assets to the extent we believe these assets will more likely than not be realized.  In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, and results of recent operations.  In the event we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

 

We record uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process whereby (1) we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position and (2) those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related taxing authority.  The Company has no uncertain tax positions to disclose. 

 

Net deferred tax assets and liabilities consist of the following components as of March 31, 2014 and 2013:

At March 31, 2014 the Company had a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $12,039,451 that may be offset against future taxable income.  No tax benefit has been reported in the March 31, 2014 consolidated financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

 

Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forward for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, the net operating loss carry-forward may be limited as to use in future years.

 

The Company and its subsidiary file income tax returns in the United States, Canada, the State of Idaho and the State of California. The statute of limitations on a Federal tax return is the due date of the tax return plus three years.  In the case of NOLs, the year in which the NOL was generated remains open up to the amount of the NOL until the statute of limitations expires on the year it was used.  PCS Edventures first filed a tax return in 1994. Therefore no statutes have closed.  The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits to report in the current period.

 

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.

 

Canadian tax laws allow a company to recoup a significant amount of research and development costs. As a result, the Company has continued to conduct its research and development within Fredericton, New Brunswick and continue to apply for such tax incentives. In addition, income taxes are/will be prepared in accordance with Revenue Canada guidelines so as to maximize additional incentives, when available.

 

j. Basic Loss Per Share

 

The computation of basic loss per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards. Diluted loss per share is equal to basic loss per share as the result of the anti-dilutive nature of the stock equivalents.

k. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, to improve the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. Other comprehensive income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period. Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments in the ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information that this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under U.S. GAAP. The new amendments will require an organization to:

 

-      Present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income - but only if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period; and

 

-     Cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP for other reclassification items (that are not required under U.S. GAAP) to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is initially transferred to a balance sheet account (e.g., inventory for pension-related amounts) instead of directly to income or expense.

 

 

39

 

The amendments apply to all public and private companies that report items of other comprehensive income. Public companies are required to comply with these amendments for all reporting periods (interim and annual). The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, for public companies. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-02 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which clarifies which instruments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements originally established by ASU 2011-11. The new ASU addresses preparer concerns that the scope of the disclosure requirements under ASU 2011-11 was overly broad and imposed unintended costs that were not commensurate with estimated benefits to financial statement users. In choosing to narrow the scope of the offsetting disclosures, the Board determined that it could make them more operable and cost effective for preparers while still giving financial statement users sufficient information to analyze the most significant presentation differences between financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and those prepared under IFRSs. Like ASU 2011-11, the amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning on, or after January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-01 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

l. Educational Software

 

Educational software was purchased by the Company as a part of its acquisition of 511092 N.B. LTD. In addition, the Company has internally developed education computer programs and student exercises to be accessed on the Internet. In accordance with financial accounting standards pertaining to internally developed software, the costs associated with research and initial feasibility of the programs and student exercises are expensed as incurred. Once economic feasibility has been determined, the costs to develop the programs and student exercises are capitalized until the software is ready for sale. At that point, the development costs are reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalized programs and student exercise inventory items are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the program or exercise, generally 24 to 48 months. 

 

The Company evaluates its purchased intangibles for possible impairment on an ongoing basis. When impairment indicators exist, the Company will perform an assessment to determine if the intangible asset has been impaired and to what extent. The assessment of purchased intangibles impairment is conducted by first estimating the undiscounted future cash flows to be generated from the use and eventual disposition of the purchased intangibles and comparing this amount with the carrying value of these assets. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amounts, impairment exists and future cash flows are discounted at an appropriate rate and compared to the carrying amounts of the purchased intangibles to determine the amount of the impairment.

 

During fiscal year ending March 31, 2012, the Company reassessed the acquired assets and recognized $92,468 of impairment of intangible assets pertaining to the education software acquired with and subsequently developed at LabMentors. No additions or changes occurred during fiscal year ending March 31, 2013.  No additions or changes occurred during fiscal year ending March 31, 2014. 

 

m. Intellectual Property

 

The Company's intellectual property consists of capitalized costs associated with the development of the Internet software and delivery platform developed by the Company to enable access to the various educational programs and exercises developed by the Company. In accordance with generally accepted accounting standards as discussed previously regarding inventory, the initial costs associated with researching the delivery platform and methods were expensed until economic feasibility and acceptance were determined. Thereafter, costs incurred to develop the Internet online delivery platform and related environments were capitalized until ready for sale. Costs incurred thereafter to maintain the delivery and access platform are expensed as incurred. These capitalized costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the Company’s delivery and access platform, which has been determined to be 60 months.

 

 

40

 

n. Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are being depreciated for financial accounting purposes on the straight-line method over their respective estimated useful lives ranging from three to seven years. Upon retirement or other disposition of these assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gains or losses are reflected in the results of operations.

 

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expense. Renewals and betterments are capitalized.

 

o. Finished Goods Inventory

 

Finished goods inventory is composed of items produced in-house, as well as items from outside suppliers. These items include, but are not limited to, K’NEX manipulatives, fischertechnik® manipulatives, Eduwise manipulatives, LEGO® manipulatives, digital media equipment, furniture units, curriculum, blocks, PCS Academy of Science TM science kits, poster packs, and other miscellaneous items used in our various labs.  Our inventory is carried at the lower of cost or market and valued using the average cost method for each item. In addition, we have established a reserve for obsolete and slow moving items.

 

p. Stock Options and Stock Grants

 

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company accounts for stock issued for employee benefits and goods and services received from non-employees in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards. The Company is required to recognize expense of options or similar equity instruments including restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. Application of this standard requires significant judgment regarding the assumptions used in the selected option-pricing model, including stock price volatility and employee exercise behavior.

 

Most of these inputs are either highly dependent on the current economic environment at the date of grant or forward-looking over the expected term of the award.

 

The Company accounts for shares issued to employees and others based upon the closing price of our common stock at the grant date.

 

The Company has granted options and warrants to purchase PCS Edventures!.com common stock.  These instruments have been valued using the Black-Scholes model and are fully detailed in Note 13.

 

q. Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow risks or market-risks that may affect the fair values of its financial instruments. The Company utilizes various types of financing to fund our business needs, including preferred stock with warrants attached and other instruments not indexed to our stock. The Company is required to record its derivative instruments at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in earnings in accordance with ASC 815. The Company utilized multinomial lattice models that value the derivative liability within the notes based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model.

The Company has agreed to make quarterly interest payments to each of the note holders during the term of the extension.

A payment of $20,000 was made against the principal on the note on April 1, 2013. Subsequently the note was extended and made part of the $95,000 convertible promissory note issued on May 24, 2013 as describe in the 8-K filed on May 24, 2013.  The $95,000 convertible promissory note is for 36 month, due on or before May 24, 2016 and bears and interest rate of 8% per annum. A total discount of $21,923 was calculated on May 24, 2013, with $5,108 amortized in the current year. The note is convertible into common stock at a rate of $0.0325 per share.

The notes were due on June 29, 2011, and are secured by that portion or percentage of the Borrower’s Intellectual Property which the principal amount of the note bears to the fair market value of all Intellectual Property of the Borrower.  “Intellectual Property” of the Borrower is defined to mean all trademarks, registered or unregistered, marks, logos, business names, proprietary computer software, curriculum, copyrighted material, registered or unregistered, trade names, patents and patent applications, and all general intangibles relating to the foregoing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Intellectual Property shall not include any license, property or contract right the granting of a security in which would be prohibited by law or contract.  The warrants expire 36 months from date of agreements. The Company recognized a discount on the debt issued, which was composed of an embedded beneficial conversion feature and attached warrants.  The Company measured the beneficial conversion feature by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of the feature to additional paid-in-capital.  The intrinsic value of the feature was calculated on the commitment date using the effective conversion price of the notes.  This intrinsic value is limited to the portion of the proceeds allocated to the notes, and was calculated as $58,000.  The warrants attached to the notes were valued using the Black Scholes Valuation Model, resulting in a fair value of $63,479, the balance of which was fully amortized as of June 30, 2011. 

 

The Company extended the due date on the convertible notes payable dated March 31, 2011 in the aggregate amount of $215,000.

In consideration for the first note extension, the Company issued an additional 430,000 restricted Rule 144 common stock warrants. The restricted Rule 144 common stock warrants allow for the purchase of one share of restricted Rule 144 common stock at $0.15 per restricted Rule 144 common stock warrant. The warrants expire 36 months from the date of the original warrant agreement.  The fair market value of these warrants was calculated using the Black Scholes Valuation Model, resulting in an expense of $61,995 during the quarter ended June 30, 2011.  On February 10, 2012, the notes were extended to August 25, 2013, with repayments to be made quarterly beginning in May, 2012, in the amount of $40,000 per quarter, with the remaining balance due in August 2013. No additional warrants were issued in connection with subsequent extensions. 

 

On August 1, 2012, the Company issued amendments to the convertible note agreements in the aggregated amount of $215,000 and extended the due date with the repayments in the amount of $40,000 per quarter to begin April, 2013, and the final payments due in August, 2014, with any remaining balance due at that time. In consideration for extending the due date of the promissory notes, the expiration dates on the warrants issued on March 31, 2011 and June 27, 2011, were amended and extended an additional three years, making the new expiration dates August 1, 2017.  At the Lender’s sole option, Lenders may elect to receive payment of their respective note and all accrued interest in restricted common stock of the Borrower at the price per share of said common stock at same rate as the warrants. Subsequently and effective June 7, 2013, we executed an amendment to the loan transaction.  The amended transaction involved the extension of the Promissory Note from April 30, 2013 to April 30, 2016, with the creditors waiving any default under the previous note.

              The Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow risks or market-risks that may affect the fair values of its financial instruments. The Company utilizes various types of financing to fund our business needs, including convertible debts with conversion features and other instruments not indexed to our stock. The convertible notes include fluctuating conversion rates. The Company uses a lattice model for valuation of the derivative. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in income in accordance with ASC 815. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether net cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within the 12 months of the balance sheet date.

 

           As discussed in Note 8 under convertible notes, the Company issued convertible notes payable that provide for the issuance of convertible notes with variable conversion provisions. The conversion terms of the convertible notes are variable based on certain factors, such as the future price of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock to be issued is based on the future price of the Company’s common stock. As of March 31, 2013, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of promissory notes and warrants could exceed the Company’s maximum number of authorized common shares. Due to the fact that the number of shares of common stock issuable is not able to be determined definitively, the equity environment is tainted and all additional convertible debentures and warrants are included in the value of the derivative. Pursuant to ASC 815-15 Derivatives, the fair values of the variable conversion option and warrants and shares to be issued were recorded as derivative liabilities on the issuance date.  The fair values of the Company’s derivative liabilities were estimated at the issuance date and are revalued at each subsequent reporting date, using a lattice model. The derivative ended due to the final payment of the convertible promissory note on January 14, 2013, in which the Company had no derivative liabilities at March 31, 2013. The change in fair value of the derivative liabilities for the twelve months ended March 31, 2013 resulted in a loss of ($78,408), respectively, which was reported as other income/(expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

              The following presents the derivative liability value by instrument type at March 31, 2014 and 2013:

              Key inputs and assumptions used to value the convertible debentures and warrants issued during the twelve months ended March 31, 2013:

 

  • The projected volatility curve for each valuation period was based on the historical volatility of the Company.
  • The stock price would fluctuate with the Company projected volatility.
  • An event of default for the convertible note would occur 5% of the time, increasing 1.00% per month to a maximum of 10%.
  • Alternative financing for the convertible note would be initially available to redeem the note 0% of the time and increase monthly by 1% to a maximum of 10%.
  • The monthly trading volume would average $200,000 in the period and would increase at 5% per month.
  • The Holder would automatically convert the notes at the greater of two times the conversion price or stock price if the registration was effective and the Company was not in default.
  • The Holder would exercise the warrant at maturity if the stock price was above the exercise price.
  • The Holder would exercise the warrant at target prices starting at the greater of two times the exercise price or the stock price; and lowering such target as the warrants approached maturity.
  • The Holder would automatically convert all of the shares at a stock price of price equal to the target price.
  • The Holder would convert on a monthly basis in amounts not to exceed the average quarters trading volume based on historical performance, assuming the volume would increase by 5% each month.

NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

 

a. Operating Lease Obligation

 

The Company leases its main office under a non-cancelable lease agreement accounted for as an operating lease. The lease expired in May 2012. This lease was extended for 13 months beginning June 1, 2012. Rent expense for the corporate offices was $21,196 and 26,041 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and $99,318 and $107,717 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, under this lease arrangement. On December 31, 2013 the Company signed an amendment to the existing contract to reduce the leased square feet to 5,412 for $6,765/ month for 12 months ending December 31, 2014.

 

The Company leases additional warehouse space in Boise, Idaho. This warehouse space consists of approximately 2,880 square feet.  The lease expired in June 2012.  This lease was extended for 24 months, beginning July 1, 2012.  Rent expense for the warehouse was $3,975 and $3,975 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and $15,901 and $16,200 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Effective October 2010 LabMentors entered into a five year office lease.  This lease was cancelled effective July 1, 2012, which resulted in a penalty for early termination of the lease equal to three months’ rent.  The Company was able to obtain a new, fully furnished office at the National Research Council facility effective July 1, 2012.  The new lease is a three year commitment to be paid in Canadian dollars each month.  Lease payments are $395 per month CAD, before 13% tax, for the first nine months, then increases annually over the three-year term with payments for the final three months of the term being $558 per month CAD, before tax.  The move was initiated as part of cost savings efforts being implemented within LabMentors and reduces the monthly lease payments.  PCS lease obligation ended on August 31, 2013 as conditions of the sale.  Rent expense, converted to USD, for LabMentors was $0 and $1,188 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and $3,258 and $8,598 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

(i) The following litigation involving PCSEdventures!.com is pending: Anthony Maher v. PCSEdventures!.com, et al., filed on or about November 26, 2013, in the District Court of the Fourth Judicial District in the State of Idaho, County of Ada.  Maher served PCSEdventures!.com on January 15, 2014.  In his Complaint, Maher alleges causes of action for breach of an employment contract and fraud, arising from the contract under which he was employed by PCSEdventures!.com.  He alleges damages in the approximate amount of $425,000.  Attorneys for PCSEdventures!.com have filed a Notice of Appearance in the matter; no other pleadings have been filed.  By stipulation, the parties have agreed to suspend the litigation to formally mediate the matter.   Mediation is set for July 9, 2014, in Boise, Idaho; Hon. Ron Shilling will mediate the case.

 

c. Contingencies

 

During the year ended March 31, 2012, the Company worked with the State of California and a private consulting firm specializing in California State sales and use tax in relation to a review of sales and use tax for our California customers during the period April 1, 2002 through June 30, 2011.  During this period, there was an estimated $0.6 million in reportable sales in which the Company did not file or collect sales and use tax, as required by California State law. The review determined that approximately $60,000 in prior period sales and use tax, including interest and late fees, was due to the California State Board of Equalization (“BOE”) as of June 30, 2011. Of this amount the Company was successful in collecting approximately $41,000 from prior customers. A check in the amount of $41,473 was mailed to the BOE on August 31, 2011 and applied against the liability leaving a balance of $7,146 in sales and use tax and $13,316 in interest. The Company was able to work with the BOE to have all penalties allotted, relieved from the account. The estimated recognized loss due to the inability to collect from customers was decreased to adjust the reported loss during fiscal year 2011 from $30,000 to approximately $7,100 during the quarter ending September 30, 2011.  The Company was able to establish a payment plan with the Board of Equalization to begin payments starting February 20, 2012 in the amount of $3,542 per month until the remaining balance is paid in full.  The final payment was paid in July 2012.

NOTE 11 - EDUCATIONAL SOFTWARE 

 

 

Educational software was purchased by the Company as a part of its acquisition of 511092 N.B. LTD. and consists of internally developed education computer programs and student exercises to be accessed on the Internet. In accordance with financial accounting standards pertaining to internally developed software, the costs associated with research and initial feasibility of the programs and student exercises are expensed as incurred. Once economic feasibility has been determined, the costs to develop the programs and student exercises are capitalized until the software is ready for sale. At that point, the development costs are reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalized programs and student exercise inventory items are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the program or exercise, generally 24 to 48 months.

NOTE 13 - DILUTIVE INSTRUMENTS

 

 

Stock Options and Warrants

 

The Company is required to recognize expense of options or similar equity instruments issued to employees using the fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based payments in compliance with the financial accounting standard pertaining to share-based payments. This standard covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. Application of this pronouncement requires significant judgment regarding the assumptions used in the selected option pricing model, including stock price volatility and employee exercise behavior. Most of these inputs are either highly dependent on the current economic environment at the date of grant or forward-looking over the expected term of the award.

NOTE 15 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE 

 

 

The Company’s concentration of credit risk consists primarily of trade receivables. In the normal course of business, the Company provides credit terms to its customers, which generally range from net 30 to 45 days. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for possible losses, which, when realized, have been within the range of management's expectations. The allowance is based on the higher of the prior three-year historical uncollectable accounts as a percentage of sales or specifically identified aging accounts over 90 days.  Total bad debt allowance as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, was $4,063 and $2,669, respectively.  The bad debt expense for the year ending March 31, 2014 was ($52,134) predominantly due to allowance of the long-term Note receivable generated from the Labmentor sale.

 

NOTE 16 – OTHER ASSETS

 

 

During the year ended March 31, 2009, the Company contracted for the production of a plastic mold (a covering for the third generation proprietary electronic controller, “The Brain”). The Brain is incorporated into AOR product line.  The cost of the mold was $28,426. The cost is amortized on a per unit basis with a total estimated 10,000 units. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had amortized 2,805 units.  Due to usage of the mold being slower than anticipated an additional amortization charge of $4,592 was recorded during the year ended March 31, 2012 to better approximate straight-line depreciation. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, the Company continued to use the straight-line method to depreciate the mold. As a cost savings measure the Company outsourced some of its manufacturing to a company in China for the controller case, “The Brain”, in which a new mold was created. The cost of the mold was $7,088 USD. Use of this mold began in December 2012, in which at that time amortization began using the straight-line method. Amortization of the mold is included in cost of sales for AOR. The Company recorded a charge of $3,849 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 for the amortization of both molds. The Company recorded a charge of $4,439 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 for the amortization of both molds.

           Item 9(A). Controls and Procedures.

 

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures”, as the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) defines such term. We have designed these controls and procedures to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. We have also designed our disclosure controls to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in this case, our Controller, as appropriate, to allow them to make timely decisions regarding our required disclosures.

 

Our management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of March 31, 2014. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer, as principal executive officer and Vice President/Controller, acting as principle financial officer, concluded that our Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, including the accumulation and communication of disclosures to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Vice President/Controller, acting as principle financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure were not effective as of this date to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms. The Company’s year-end closing process did not adequately ensure that all transactions were accounted for in accordance with GAAP and that required adjustments were made to the financial statements to prevent them from being materially misstated. Management acknowledges that as a smaller reporting entity, it is difficult to have adequate accounting staff to perform appropriate additional reviews of the financial statements. In addition, three personnel positions turned over in the finance area just prior to year-end and training new personnel has taken time.  

 

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 Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act).  Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Vice President/Controller, acting as principle financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or 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.  Due to 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, have been detected. Management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer, the principal executive officer and Vice President/Controller, acting as principle financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2014. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. As a result of its review, management identified a material weakness in the internal control over financial reporting. This material weakness was evidenced through the Company’s year-end closing process, which did not adequately ensure that all transactions were accounted for in accordance with GAAP and that required adjustments were made to the financial statements to prevent them from being materially misstated. Based on this evaluation, our management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and Vice President/Controller, acting as principle financial officer, concluded, as of March 31, 2014, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. Management acknowledges that as a smaller reporting entity, it is difficult to have adequate accounting staff to perform appropriate additional reviews of the financial statements. In addition, three personnel positions turned over in the finance area just prior to year-end and training new personnel has taken time.

 

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 rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

Audit Committee Financial Expert.

 

 

We chartered an audit committee in 2001 for the purpose of engaging an accounting firm, which is currently M&K CPAs, PLLC, for the annual audit and quarterly reviews. The audit committee currently consists of Board members Murali Ranganathan and Dehryl A Dennis. Mr. Ranganathan is considered an audit committee financial expert based on his previous work experience and the definition contained in Reg. 228.401 Instructions to paragraph (e)(1) of Item 401 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The audit committee continued to implement its Charter regarding the scope and responsibilities for the audit committee adopted in fiscal year 2005 and revised in fiscal year 2010. The audit committee meets with M&K CPAs, PLLC via telephone on a quarterly basis and meets separately with management to review quarterly financial results and discuss any issues. The audit committee facilitated a teleconference meeting with the Board of Directors and M&K CPAs, PLLC during the Company’s Annual Meeting.  In addition, the audit committee discusses auditing issues as needed during regularly scheduled board meetings, which are documented in the Company’s minutes.

 

Compensation of Directors. 

 

 

Effective October 1, 2009, the Board resolved and adopted the annual fees to be paid to outside Directors of the Board to be $30,000 annually and paid in the form of Restricted Stock Units, or other form authorized under the PCS 2009 Equity Incentive Plan as the Board determines. Effective September 1, 2012, the Board resolved and adopted the annual fees to be paid to outside Directors of the Board be reduced to $15,000 annually and paid in the form of Restricted Stock Units, or other form authorized under the PCS 2009 Equity Incentive Plan as the Board determines.   Restricted Stock Units are subject to forfeiture as described in the 2009 Plan. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $20,000 of director fees accrued. The CEO is excluded from receiving additional compensation as a Board member beginning the second fiscal quarter of 2006 by unanimous consent of the Board.

(i) Don Farley resigned effective August 1, 2013 announced on the 8-K dated July 29th, 2013.  Restricted Stock Unit agreements for non-management directors call for payment of current year director fees via issuance of restricted stock units over a vesting period of not less than twelve months, and require continued service for twelve months and reelection at the next annual shareholder meeting.  Therefore Don Farley’s restricted stock units for fiscal year 2014 were forfeited  upon resignation.

 

 

Employment Agreements

 

 

We had written employment agreements with the following two employees:

 

Brett A. Newbold, Chief Operating Officer - The contract with Mr. Newbold provides for a six-month Employment Agreement whereby he is to be paid $5,000 in cash and an additional 5,000 shares per month in restricted stock awards.  The Employment Agreement cannot be terminated by PCS during the six-month period without cause.  Mr. Newbold received 100,000 shares of restricted stock as a signing bonus.  He was also granted options to purchase 150,000 shares of PCS common stock under the PCS 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, with an exercise price of $0.04 per share based on the market value of the stock on the date of the grant.  Mr. Newbold is also eligible for standard benefits provided to all employees. This agreement was terminated upon Mr. Newbold’s departure in February 2013.

 

Anthony A. Maher, Former Chief Executive Officer and Former Director of the Company - Mr. Maher, an employee of the Company, resigned as an Officer and a Director of the Company last summer and was given an Employment Contract that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 12, 2011 on a Form 8-K Current Report dated October 10, 2011.  Mr. Maher had been assisting the Company in the business development and finance areas.  January 16, 2012, Anthony A. Maher returned from medical leave.  An Amended Employment Agreement was executed effective January 1, 2012, rescinding effective December 31, 2011, the prior Employment Agreement dated August 26, 2011.  Under this Agreement, Mr. Maher receives a monthly salary of $7,500 plus standard insurance benefits available to all employees and is an at will employee of the Company. He will report to the CEO and CFO and his role will be advisory. This agreement was terminated upon Mr. Maher’s departure.

 

 

Stock Option Plans and Other Incentive Compensation Plans.

 

 

On August 27, 2009, the Board of Directors adopted and the shareholder’s approved the PCS Edventures!.com, Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (“2009 Plan”). The 2009 Plan was designed to replace the existing 2004 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan (“2004 Plan”). The 2009 Plan provides for the grant of various types of equity instruments, including grants of restricted and unrestricted PCS common stock as well as options and other types of awards. The 2009 Plan was implemented to align the interests of the Company’s employees with those if the shareholders and to motivate, attract, and retain its employees and provide an incentive for outstanding performance. An 8K was filed on November 19, 2009 registering the Plan. On April 4, 2012, the Board adopted and the shareholders approved an Amendment to an increase in the number of shares of common stock available for grants, incentive or other purposes under the Company’s 2009 Equity Incentive Plan from 4,000,000 shares to 8,000,000 shares.

Director Independence.

 

 

We believe that all members of our Board of Directors with the exception of our Chief Executive Officer, Robert O. Grover, are independent based on the following definition of NASDAQ, which is quoted below from Rule 5605(a)(2):   “Independent Director” means a person other than an Executive Officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship, which, in the opinion of the Company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. For purposes of this rule, “Family Member” means a person’s spouse, parents, children and siblings, whether by blood, marriage or adoption, or anyone residing in such person’s home. The following persons shall not be considered independent:

 

(A) a director who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by the Company;

 

(B) a director who accepted or who has a Family Member who accepted any compensation from the Company in excess of  $120,000 during any period of twelve consecutive months within the three years preceding the determination of independence, other than the following:

 

(i)                compensation for board or board committee service;

 

(ii)               compensation paid to a Family Member who is an employee (other than an Executive Officer) of the Company; or

 

(iii)              benefits under a tax-qualified retirement plan, or non-discretionary compensation.

 

Provided, however, that in addition to the requirements contained in this paragraph (B), audit committee members are also subject to additional, more stringent requirements under Rule 5605(c)(2).

 

(C) a director who is a Family Member of an individual who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by the Company as an Executive Officer;

 

(D) a director who is, or has a Family Member who is, a partner in, or a controlling Shareholder or an Executive Officer of, any organization to which the Company made, or from which the Company received, payments for property or services in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenues for that year, or $200,000, whichever is more, other than the following:

 

(i)                payments arising solely from investments in the Company’s securities; or

 

(ii)               payments under non-discretionary charitable contribution matching programs.

 

 

64

 

(E) a director of the Company who is, or has a Family Member who is, employed as an Executive Officer of another entity where at any time during the past three years any of the Executive Officers of the Company serve on the compensation committee of such other entity; or

 

(F) a director who is, or has a Family Member who is, a current partner of the Company’s outside auditor, or was a partner or employee of the Company’s outside auditor who worked on the Company’s audit at any time during any of the past three years.

 

(G) in the case of an investment company, in lieu of paragraphs (A)-(F), a director who is an “interested person” of the Company as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the board of directors or any board committee.

 

Our Board of Directors has adopted this definition of an “independent director” even though we are not required to have independent directors.
