Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Three Months Ended March 31, 2002 and 2001
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization - Shopss.com, Inc., a Utah corporation, changed its name to
AccessTel, Inc. effective February 16, 2001, in conjunction with the
acquisition of AccessTel, Inc., a Delaware corporation, in a reverse merger
transaction effective December 18, 2000. Litigation to rescind this
transaction was subsequently commenced on May 1, 2001, and a receiver was
appointed on May 3, 2001 to manage the business affairs of the Company.
AccessTel, Inc., formerly Shopss.com, Inc., is referred to herein as the
"Company".
Basis of Presentation - The financial statements as of December 31, 2001 and
for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 include the assets and
liabilities of Shopss.com, Inc.'s operations and exclude the assets and
liabilities of AccessTel, Inc.'s operations due to the rescission litigation.
The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared based on the
information available to current management, but due to the commencement of
litigation and the appointment of a receiver, such information may not be
complete or accurate. Information provided herein is given to the best
knowledge of the receiver, and where it is indicated herein that "management
believes" or similar references to management's knowledge, this information is
provided to best knowledge of the receiver, and not management. A copy of
this document has been provided to members of management, and the receiver has
used his best efforts to have this document reviewed by them and, if
appropriate, amended and updated.
Comments - The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited, but in
the opinion of management of the Company, contain all adjustments, which
include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the
financial position at March 31, 2002, the results of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, and the cash flows for the three months
ended March 31, 2002 and 2001. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2001 is
derived from the Company's audited financial statements.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements that have been presented in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to interim
financial statements, although management of the Company believes that the
disclosures contained in these financial statements are adequate to make the
information presented therein not misleading. For further information, refer
to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, as filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2002 are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the
full fiscal year ending December 31, 2002.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
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.
Going Concern - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has
suffered recurring losses, has no operations and has a deficiency in working
capital and shareholders' equity at March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company's
independent certified public accountants have included a modification
paragraph in their report on the Company's financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2001 with respect to this matter.
Net Loss Per Common Share - Basic loss per common share is calculated by
dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. Diluted loss per common share reflects the potential
dilution that would occur if all dilutive stock options and warrants were
exercised. These potentially dilutive securities were anti-dilutive for all
periods presented, and accordingly, basic and diluted loss per common share is
the same for all periods presented.
2. Litigation
Effective December 18, 2000, the Company entered into a Share Exchange
Agreement by and among Shopss.com, Inc., AccessTel, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, and the shareholders of AccessTel, Inc., pursuant to which the
Company acquired all of the shares of AccessTel, Inc. in exchange for
36,100,540 shares of common stock, which represented 80% of the issued and
outstanding of common stock of the Company after giving effect to the
transaction. At the closing of this transaction, the existing officers and
directors resigned, and new officers and directors were appointed.
On May 1, 2001, Reed & Wangsgard, L.C. (formerly Droz, Reed & Wangsgard, L.C.)
filed suit in the Third Judicial District Court of Salt Lake County, State of
Utah (the "Court"), Civil No. 010903821 (the "Action"), to assert claims, on
behalf of its clients, prior management of the Company, against AccessTel,
Inc., a Delaware corporation, and the original shareholders of AccessTel, Inc.
The Complaint demands rescission of the Share Exchange Agreement, and alleges
that the Company was induced to enter into the Share Exchange Agreement
through a series of false representations made by AccessTel, Inc. and its
shareholders. The Complaint also includes alternative causes of actions for
fraud, conversion, injunctive relief, and the issuance of a Writ of Replevin.
On May 3, 2001, pursuant to the motion of Reed & Wangsgard, L.C., the
Honorable Raymond Uno, Judge of the Court, issued an Order appointing Leonard
W. Burningham, Esq., a member of the Utah State Bar, as receiver for the
Company. Pursuant to such Order, the receiver is authorized to prepare and
file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
On May 16, 2001, pursuant to the motion of Reed & Wangsgard, L.C., the
Honorable L.A. Dever, Judge of the Court, issued a Temporary Restraining Order
prohibiting the transfer of any shares of common stock issued by AccessTel,
Inc. and/or Shopss.com, Inc. which were issued in the name of any defendant
(other than the transfer agent) or held for the benefit of any such defendant.
On May 27, 2001, pursuant to the motion of Reed & Wangsgard, L.C., the
Honorable L.A. Dever, Judge of the Court, issued a Preliminary Injunction
enjoining Atlas Stock Transfer Company from registering the transfer of, or
reissuing, any shares of common stock issued by the Company and/or Shopss.com,
Inc. which were issued in the name of any defendant (other than Atlas Stock
Transfer Company) or are held for the benefit of any defendant to the suit.
On January 17, 2002 Reed & Wangsgard, L.C. received written confirmation from
an agent of the Board of Directors of AccessTel, Inc., a Utah corporation,
that said Board of Directors have come to a unanimous decision to settle the
claim for rescission of the Share Exchange Agreement by rescinding the Share
Exchange Agreement. However, the Board of Directors of AccessTel, Inc., a
Utah corporation, failed and/or refused to follow through with their agreement
to rescind the Share Exchange Agreement. As a result, Reed & Wangsgard, L.C.
filed a Motion to Enforce Settlement with respect to the agreement to rescind
the Share Exchange Agreement. Although the Motion to Enforce Settlement has
not been scheduled to be heard, AccessTel, Inc. has not timely filed a
response to that motion.
During February 2002, pursuant to the motion of counsel for AccessTel, Inc., a
Delaware corporation, and the original shareholders of AccessTel, Inc., the
Honorable L.A. Dever, Judge of the Court, issued an order limiting the Court's
jurisdiction over certain of the Defendants. As a result, the court continued
to have jurisdiction over the corporate defends and through it, plaintiffs may
assert claims arising from the allegedly wrongful conduct of current
management.
The parties to the lawsuit are currently involved in settlement negotiations.
Although it is currently anticipated that this lawsuit will be settled, which
is expected to include rescission of the Share Exchange Agreement, there can
be no assurances in this regard. It is anticipated that once the lawsuit is
settled and the Share Exchange Agreement is rescinded, the Company will seek
to acquire a new business opportunity, which may require related debt or
equity financing, although there can be no assurances that the Company will be
successful in this regard.
3. Transactions with Shareholder
During the three months ended March 31, 2002, a shareholder made advances to
or on behalf of the Company aggregating $9,711, pursuant to a line of credit
with interest at 1% below the prime rate. Related interest expense recorded
during the three months ended March 31, 2002 was $576. These advances have
been used to fund general and administrative expenses, consisting primarily of
legal and accounting fees. There can be no assurances that the shareholder
will continue to make such advances to or on behalf of the Company. The
Company also incurred fees to the shareholder for services rendered of $28,500
for the three months ended March 31, 2002.
4. Stockholders' Deficiency
On January 16, 2001, the Board of Directors of the Company unanimously adopted
and a majority of the shareholders approved a stock option plan that provides
for the issuance of up to 20,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
On January 24, 2001, the Board of Directors of the Company unanimously adopted
and a majority of the shareholders approved an amendment to the Articles of
Incorporation to increase the total authorized number of shares of capital
stock from 50,000,000 to 120,000,000, of which 100,000,000 shares are common
stock and 20,000,000 shares are preferred stock.
On February 16, 2001, the Company filed Articles of Amendment to its Articles
of Incorporation with the State of Utah to change the name of the Company from
Shopss.com, Inc. to AccessTel, Inc., and to increase the Company's equity
capitalization to 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 20,000,000 shares of
preferred stock.
5. New Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142"), which is effective January 1, 2002. SFAS
No. 142 requires, among other things, the discontinuance of goodwill
amortization. In addition, SFAS No. 142 includes provisions for the
reclassification of certain existing recognized intangibles as goodwill,
reassessment of the useful lives of the existing recognized intangibles,
reclassification of certain intangibles out of previously reported goodwill
and the identification of reporting units for purposes of assessing potential
future impairments of goodwill. SFAS No. 142 also requires the Company to
complete a transitional goodwill impairment test six months from the date of
adoption. The Company is reviewing the requirements for adopting and the
implications of adopting SFAS No. 142. The Company does not believe that the
adoption of SFAS No. 142 will have a material effect on the Company's
financial statement presentation or disclosures.
In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS No. 143"), which
is effective January 1, 2003. The Company is reviewing the requirements for
adopting and the implications of adopting SFAS No. 143. The Company does not
believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 143 will have a material effect on the
Company's financial statement presentation or disclosures.
In October 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets"
("SFAS No. 144"), which is effective January 1, 2002. The Company is
reviewing the requirements for adopting and the implications of adopting SFAS
No. 144. The Company does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 144 will
have a material effect on the Company's financial statement presentation or
disclosures.
