Advanced Technologies Group, Ltd.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Six Months Ended July 31, 2010 and July 31, 2009
1. ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Advanced Technologies Group, Ltd. (the Company) was incorporated in the State of
Nevada in February 2000. In January 2001, the Company purchased 100% of the
issued and outstanding shares of FX3000, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which
owned the rights to the FX3000 currency trading software platform. The FX3000
software program is a financial real time quote and money management platform
used by independent foreign currency traders.
In March 2002, the Company sold the FX3000 software program, for a 25% interest
in a joint venture with Tradition NA, a subsidiary of Compagnie Financiere
Tradition, a publicly held Swiss corporation. The Company and Tradition formed
FX Direct Dealer LLC (FXDD), a Delaware company that marketed the FX3000
software to independent foreign currency traders.
In March 2009, the Company sold its 25% interest in the joint venture to FXDD
for $26 million.
The Company's principal current business activity is the development of the
MoveIdiot.com website, which the Company acquired in July 2009. In addition, the
Company has been seeking to acquire and/or develop other new technologies and
business opportunities and will also consider investing in commercial real
estate opportunities.
In June 2010, the United States District Court of the Southern District of New
York granted an asset freeze to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
freezing most of the Company's assets. The asset freeze was granted based upon
allegations by the SEC that the Company (and certain predecessors) had
improperly sold shares of their stock between 1997 and 2006. The SEC is seeking
disgorgement of all Company profits earned from the date of the sale of the
stock to the current date. Those assets frozen by the order at July 31, 2010 are
detailed as follows:
Cash & cash equivalents $ 2,760,825
Short term investments 9,091,264
Subordinated note receivable 9,444,445
-----------
Total assets restricted $21,296,534
===========

USE OF ESTIMATES- The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make reasonable estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
the assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses at the date of the financial
statements and for the period they include. Actual results may differ from these
estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS- For the purpose of calculating changes in cash flows,
cash includes all cash balances and highly liquid short-term investments with an
original maturity of three months or less.
SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS- Short term investments include investments in a
municipal bond fund. The investments are stated at market fair value at July 31,
2010 and July 31, 2009.
BAD DEBT EXPENSE- The Company provides, through charges to income, a charge for
bad debt expense, which is based upon management's evaluation of numerous
factors in regards to the account receivable. These factors include economic
conditions, the paying performance of the account receivable, and an analysis of
the credit worthiness of the payee.
SUBORDINATED NOTE RECEIVABLE- The subordinated loan receivable from FXDD results
from the sale of the Company's interest in the joint venture. The estimated fair
value of the subordinated loan receivable from FXDD is based upon the
discounting of the future cash flows from the asset using a risk adjusted
lending rate form loans of similar in risk and duration.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT: Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC
820 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, FAIR VALUE
MEASUREMENT), issued by the FASB. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that
would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date and sets out a
fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1)
and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Inputs are broadly
defined under ASC 820 as assumptions market participants would use in pricing an
asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820
are described below:
* Level I--Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical
investments as of the reporting date. The type of investments in Level
I include listed equities and listed derivatives.
* Level II--Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active
markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the
reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models
or other valuation methodologies. Investments which are generally
included in this category include corporate bonds and loans, less
liquid and restricted equity securities and certain over-the-counter
derivatives.
9
* Level III--Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and
includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for
the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value
require significant management judgment or estimation. Investments
that are included in this category generally include general and
limited partnership interests in corporate private equity and real
estate funds, funds of hedge funds, distressed debt and non-investment
grade residual interests in securitizations and collateralized debt
obligations.
FIXED ASSETS- Office and computer equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation
expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
life of the asset. The following is a summary of the estimated useful lives used
in computing depreciation expense:
Furniture & lease improvements 7 years
Office equipment 3 years
Computer hardware 3 years
Software 3 years
|
Expenditures for major repairs and renewals that extend the useful life of the
asset are capitalized. Minor repair expenditures are charged to expense as
incurred.
LONG LIVED ASSETS- The Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when
estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its
eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount.
INCOME TAXES- The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles which requires an asset and liability approach to
financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets
and liabilities are computed annually for differences between financial
statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in
taxable income or deductible expenses in the future based on enacted tax laws
and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to
affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to
reduce deferred tax assets and liabilities to the amount expected to be
realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period
adjusted for the change during the period in deferred tax assets and
liabilities.
The Company follows the accounting requirements associated with uncertainty in
income taxes using the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
ASC 740, INCOME TAXES. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be
recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the
positions will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. It also
provides guidance for derecognition, classification, interest and penalties,
accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As of July 31, 2010,
the Company has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition
or disclosure in the financial statements. All tax returns from fiscal years
2006 to 2009 are subject to IRS audit.
10
2. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic net loss per share has been computed based on the weighted average of
common shares outstanding during the years. Diluted net loss per share gives the
effect of outstanding preferred stock which is convertible into common stock.
The calculation for net income (loss) per share is as follows.
31-Jul-10 31-Jul-09
----------- -----------
Net income (loss) $ 47,132 $16,890,818
=========== ===========
Basic shares outstanding (weighted average) 18,486,535 18,270,604
Preferred stock convertible into common shares 2,372,036 2,372,036
----------- -----------
Fully diluted shares outstanding (weighted average) 20,858,571 20,642,640
=========== ===========
Basic income (loss) per share $ 0.00 $ 0.93
Fully diluted income (loss) per share $ 0.00 $ 0.82
|
3. PREFERRED STOCK
CLASS A PREFERRED STOCK: Class A preferred stock has a stated value of $3 per
share. Holders of the Class A preferred stock are entitled to receive a common
stock dividend of 13% of the outstanding Class A shares on an annual basis based
on a value of $3 per share. The Class A preferred stock is convertible into
common stock at a conversion ratio of one preferred share for one common share.
CLASS B PREFERRED STOCK: Class B preferred stock has a stated value of $3 per
share. Holders of the Class B preferred stock are entitled to receive a common
stock dividend of 6% of the outstanding Class B shares on an annual basis based
on a value of $3 per share. The Class B preferred stock is convertible into
common stock at a conversion ratio of one preferred share for one common share.
11
4. INCOME TAXES
Provision for income taxes is comprised of the following:
31-Jul-10 31-Jul-09
----------- -----------
Net income (loss) before provision for income taxes $ 67,094 $23,333,057
=========== ===========
Current tax expense:
Federal $ 11,774 $ 1,012,004
State 10,783 367,100
----------- -----------
Total $ 22,557 $ 1,379,104
Add deferred tax payable (benefit):
Long term capital gain (installment payable over 3 years) 0 5,063,135
----------- -----------
Provision for income taxes $ 22,557 $ 6,442,239
=========== ===========
|
A reconciliation of provision for income taxes at the statutory rate to
provision for income taxes at the Company's effective tax rate is as follows:
Statutory U.S. federal rate 34% 15%
Statutory state and local income tax 13% 13%
----------- -----------
Effective rate 47% 28%
=========== ===========
|
For financial statement purposes, the gain on the sale of the FXDD interest is
included in fiscal year 2010. For tax return purposes, the gain on the FXDD sale
is being recorded as an installment sale and therefore the tax liability on the
gain is recognized as the proceeds from the sale over the next three years is
recognized.
5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company has executed employment contracts with the chief executive officer
and the president of the Company in April 2002. Under the terms of the
contracts, the two officers are to be paid $250,000 per year each through April
2011.
In purchasing MoveIdiot.com, as discussed more fully in Note 7, the Company has
agreed to issue an additional 50,000 restricted shares of its common stock to
MoveIdiot.com in the event certain revenue targets are met.
12
6. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company has substantially all of its assets in cash and the subordinated
note receivable from FXDD. These assets are currently frozen as per the court
order discussed in Note 1.
In the event the court decides that the Company disgorge all of its profits
accrued to it since fiscal year 2001, the Company's financial solvency would be
adversely affected impairing the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.
7. PURCHASE OF MOVEIDIOT.COM
In July 2009, the Company purchased the intellectual rights to MoveIdiot.com for
$57,000 and 25,000 restricted shares of common stock. The Company used the
market price of the Company's common stock at the date of the purchase to value
the shares given in the transaction. The transaction value at the time of
purchase was $60,250. MoveIdiot.com enables individuals and businesses to keep
track of their property on-line. Users will be able to manage their possessions
on-line and print automatically generated labels that are sealable to be used in
the event of moving from one location to another. Management impaired the
$60,250 value of the transaction to expense at the date of the purchase of
MoveIdiot.com after concluding that future cash flows from the purchase could
not be assured.
As part of the purchase, the Company agreed to issue an additional 50,000
restricted shares of common stock to the sellers of MoveIdiot.com if certain
profitability levels are met. Management has concluded that the profitability
levels will not be met at the date of purchase and therefore assigned no value
to their contingent shares at the date of purchase.
8. SALE OF THE INVESTMENT IN FX DIRECT DEALER
In March 2009, the Company sold its 25% interest in the joint venture to FXDD
for $26 million. The Company received a subordinated note from FXDD for $17
million and $9 million in cash. The subordinated note receivable is unsecured
and subordinated to the claims of the general creditors of FXDD. The note
carries an interest rate of 10% and the principal is payable in 36 equal monthly
installments for the next three years, with interest. The subordinated loan
agreement provides the Company with an increased interest rate in the event of
late payments by the Purchaser and with the remedy of liquidation in the event
of a default. The initial payment of the $9 million was received in March 2009
and the monthly payments on the subordinated note began in April 2009. As a
result of the sale, the Company realized a gain of $23,597,942.
9. COMPANY INVESTMENTS
The following table summarizes the valuation of the Company's investments, that
are currently restricted by the court order discussed in Note 1, by the above
FASB ASC 820 fair value hierarchy levels as of July 31, 2010.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In August 2010, the United States District Court of the Southern District of New
York amended their order discussed in Note 1. Accordingly, the Company will be
allowed to deposit $370,000 in escrow with the Company's attorney. The Company
can then withdraw from escrow $130,000 at any time after the amendment, $40,000
per month in August, September and October 2010 and $120,000 in November 2010.

BACKGROUND
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada in February 2000. In
January 2001, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of
FX3000, Inc. (formerly Oxford Global Network, Ltd.), a Delaware corporation, the
designer of the FX3000 currency trading software platform. The FX3000 software
program is a financial real time quote and money management platform for use by
independent foreign currency traders.
In March 2002, the Company transferred its FX3000 software program to FX
Direct Dealer, LLC ("FX Direct") a joint venture company that markets the FX3000
software program. The Company received a 25% interest in the joint venture in
return for the transfer. On January 26, 2009, the Company entered into a
purchase and sale agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which the
Company agreed to sell (the "Sale") its approximate 25% membership interest (the
"Membership Interest") in FX Direct to FX Direct. The Agreement provided that it
was effective as of December 31, 2008, as a result of which the Company was not
entitled to receive any allocations of profit, loss or distributions from FX on
account of its Membership Interest after such date. On March 17, 2009, the
Company completed the Sale of the Membership Interest to FX Direct.
15
The aggregate purchase price of the Membership Interest was approximately
$26,000,000, of which $9,000,000 was paid in cash at the closing of the Sale and
the remaining $17,000,000 (of which approximately $7.5 million had been paid as
of July 31, 2010) is payable in 36 equal monthly installments of $472,222.22,
bearing interest at the rate of 10% per annum and evidenced by a subordinated
promissory note that was issued pursuant to a Cash Subordinated Loan Agreement
("Loan Agreement").
The Company intends to seek to acquire and/or develop new technologies and
other business opportunities. In this regard, effective as of July 20, 2009, the
Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Dan Khasis, LLC
("Seller"), pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the rights to Seller's
website "moveidiot.com" and the related software for a purchase price of $57,000
plus the issuance to Seller of 25,000 restricted shares of Common Stock. In
addition, Seller may receive up to an additional 50,000 restricted shares of
Common Stock if certain membership goals for the moveidiot.com website are met
in the 12 months following the closing. MoveIdiot.com is an online website which
helps people and businesses expedite their move from place to another. The
Company will also consider investing in commercial real estate ventures.
On June 22, 2010, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") filed
a civil enforcement action (the "Civil Action") in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, its Chief
Executive Officer and President alleging violations of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended in connection with certain securities offerings conducted by
the Company and its predecessors between 1997 and 2006 and seeking preliminary
and permanent injunctive relief, disgorgement and civil monetary penalties. The
SEC also sought provisional relief in the form of an order (the "Asset Freeze
Order") freezing the defendants' assets and prohibiting destruction, concealment
or altering of records pending final disposition of the action, which was
subsequently granted by the Court. In August 2010, the Asset Freeze Order was
amended to permit the Company to deposit $370,000 in escrow with the Company's
attorneys. The Company is permitted to withdraw from escrow $130,000 at any time
after the amendment, $40,000 per month in August, September and October 2010 and
$120,000 in November 2010.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company did not generate any revenues in the three months and six
months ended July 31, 2010 or the three and six months ended July 31, 2009, as
the Company's software servicing and maintenance services for FX Direct were
terminated in fiscal 2008 (which ended as of January 31, 2008) and the Company's
Moveidiot.com website commenced operations in January 2010 and did not generate
any revenues in the six months ended July 31, 2010
General and administrative expenses in the three and six months ended July
31, 2010 were $443,222 and 862,344, respectively, as compared to $453,882 and
$870,789, respectively, in the three and six months ended July 31, 2009, as an
increase in salaries and benefits and consulting fees in the three and six
months ended July 31, 2010 was offset by a decrease in website development costs
as the Company completed the initial development of its MoveIdiot.com website
during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009.
16
Other revenues and expenses in the three and six month periods ended July
31, 2010 included interest income of $261,452 and $558,079, respectively,
related to the Company's cash balances and note receivable from FX Direct and a
gain of $264,639 and $371,359, respectively, on short term investments. Other
revenues and expenses in the three and six months ended July 31, 2009 included a
gain on the sale of the Company's interest in FX Direct of $0 and $23,597,942,
respectively and interest income of $454,258 and $605,904, respectively.
The Company had a provision for income taxes of ($24,071) and
($19,962),respectively, in three and six months ended July 31, 2010 as compared
to a provision for tax income taxes of ($0) and ($6,442,239),respectively, in
the three and six months ended July 31, 2009.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company had net income of $58,798 and
$47,132, respectively, in the three and six months ended July 31, 2010 as
compared to net income of $376 and $16,890,818, respectively, in the three and
six months ended July 31, 2009.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At July 31, 2010, all of the Company's cash and investments were subject to
the Asset Freeze Order. In August 2010, the Asset Freeze Order was amended to
permit the Company to deposit $370,000 in escrow with the Company's attorneys.
The Company is permitted to withdraw from escrow $130,000 at any time after the
amendment, $40,000 per month in August, September and October 2010 and $120,000
in November 2010.
On March 17, 2009, the Company completed the Sale of its Membership
Interest to FX Direct. The aggregate purchase price of the Membership Interest
was approximately $26,000,000, of which $9,000,000 was paid in cash at the
closing of the Sale and the remaining $17,000,000 (of which approximately $7.5
million had been paid as of July 31, 2010) is payable in 36 equal monthly
installments of $472,222.22, bearing interest at the rate of 10% per annum and
evidenced by a subordinated promissory note that was issued pursuant to a Cash
Subordinated Loan Agreement ("Loan Agreement"). The Loan Agreement provides the
Company with an increased interest rate in the event of late payments by the
Purchaser and with the remedy of liquidation in the event of a default. The
Company also received approximately $250,000 from the Purchaser in full
satisfaction of amounts owed to the Company for providing certain services to
the Purchaser.
The Company's use of the proceeds of the Sale is subject to the resolution
of the Civil Court Action. The Company believes that the proceeds of the Sale to
which the Company has been granted access pursuant to the modification of the
Asset Freeze Order in August 2010 will be sufficient to fund its working capital
requirements during the balance of the fiscal year. Thereafter, the Company will
require additional funds to continue its operations, of which there can be no
assurance.

CASH FLOWS
For the six months ended July 31, 2010, net cash used in operating
activities was ($2,747,762) as compared to net cash provided by operating
activities of $2,189,552 in the six months ended July 31, 2009. The substantial
decrease in net cash provided by operating activities in the six months ended
July 31, 2010 resulted from the decrease in net income and the use of cash to
satisfy the Asset Freeze Order.
For the six months ended July 31, 2010, net cash used in investing
activities was ($379,948), representing cash provided by the FX Direct
subordinated note receivable that was offset by cash used in investments in
short-term marketable securities, as compared to cash provided by investing
activities of $4,443,743 in the six months ended July 31, 2009, which consisted
of the initial proceeds of the FX Direct Sale and collections on the
subordinated note receivable.
For the six months ended July 31, 2010, there was no net cash used in
financing activities as compared to net cash used in financing activities of
($38,551) in the Fiscal 2009 period, representing repayment of shareholder
advances.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
At July 31, 2010, the Company had no outstanding loan facilities.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer
evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based
on that evaluation, such principal executive officer and principal
financial officer concluded that, the Company's disclosure control and
procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this
report because of the material weakness described below.
As indicated in the Company's Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 17,
2009, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company in consultation with the
Board of Directors and Donohue Associates, L.L.C., its independent
registered public accounting firm determined that it was necessary to amend
and restate the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended
January 31, 2009 included in the Form 10-K as well as the Company's
quarterly reports for the periods ended April 30, 2009 and July 31, 2009
with respect to the timing of the sale of the Company's approximately 25%
joint venture interest (the "Membership Interest") in FX Direct.
The Company's management assessed the effect of the restatement on the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over
financial reporting, and determined that a material weakness existed with
respect to our reporting of complex and non-routine transactions.
18
A "material weakness" is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim
financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting
exists as we have limited staff that does not allow us to maintain
effective processes and controls over the accounting for and reporting of
complex and non-routine transactions.
During fiscal 2010, the Company hired a part-time accountant to prepare the
Company's financial statements under the supervision of the Company's chief
financial officer. In addition, to address the material weakness, the
Company intends to engage outside experts to provide counsel and guidance
in areas where it cannot economically maintain the required expertise
internally (e.g., with the appropriate classifications and treatments of
complex and non-routine transactions).
However, at present, due to its limited scope of operations, the Company
only has two full time employees, only one of whom, our chief financial
officer, is involved in overseeing our financial reporting process. We have
determined that this deficiency caused by the limited staffing constitutes
a material weakness in the area of segregation of duties and adequacy of
personnel.
(b) CHANGE IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.
No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during
our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial
reporting.
(c) OTHER.
We believe that a controls system, no matter how well designed and
operated, can not provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the
controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute
assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a
company have been detected. Therefore, 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. Our disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to provide such reasonable assurances
of achieving our desired control objectives, and, for the reasons described
above, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have
concluded, as of July 31, 2010, that our disclosure controls and procedures
were not effective.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On June 22, 2010, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") filed
a civil enforcement action in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York against the Company, its Chief Executive Officer and
President alleging violations of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended in
connection with certain securities offerings conducted by the Company and its
predecessors between 1997 and 2006 and seeking preliminary and permanent
injunctive relief, disgorgement and civil monetary penalties. The SEC also
sought provisional relief in the form of an order freezing the defendants'
assets and prohibiting destruction, concealment or altering of records pending
final disposition of the action, which was subsequently granted by the Court. In
August 2010, the Court order was amended to permit the Company to deposit
$370,000 in escrow with the Company's attorneys. The Company is permitted to
withdraw from escrow $130,000 at any time after the amendment, $40,000 per month
in August, September and October 2010 and $120,000 in November 2010.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Company involves a high degree of risk. In addition to
the other information set forth in this Report, you should carefully consider
the factors discussed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on
