General


We incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 7, 1996 under the name B & R Ventures, Inc.  On March 28, 1999, we acquired all of the common stock of Enjoy The Game, Inc., a Missouri corporation, and changed our name to EtG Corporation.  At that time we began operating as a media and merchandising company to promote the positive aspects of athletic competition.  EtG Corporation conducted its operations through its subsidiary, Enjoy the Game, Inc., which had been incorporated in the state of Missouri on May 28, 1998.  Enjoy the Game, Inc. failed to achieve profitable operations and on November 15, 2002, we sold the Subsidiary back to its president.


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


On April 19, 2004, we acquired ATB Media, Inc. ATB was formed to acquire radio broadcast properties and/or invest in companies that had previously acquired radio broadcast properties in small and medium-sized markets and to use innovative techniques and low cost, engineering-driven strategies to upgrade these properties into successful radio stations by relocating such properties to larger markets, increasing authorized power and/or authorized hours of operation. ATB owns rights to receive income participation from one or more radio stations and other businesses. Due to the profit participation agreements, the Company determined that the current fair value of these advances and investments has increased to an amount in excess of $5,400,000, however merger has been recorded at book value because the companies were under common control.


Our shareholders and officers Michael Foudy, Gerald Garcia and Denison Smith are control shareholders of and are each owed substantial amounts by ATB. The assets of ATB secure portions of the ATB debt to Foudy and Smith. As part of the Merger Agreement, we are to arrange repayment/refinance/assumption of up to $5,000,000 (Five Million Dollars) in loan obligations of the Company, including obligations owed to Foudy, Garcia and Smith.


Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, we issued 1,926,891 shares of Common Stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of the ATB Common Stock. In addition, we will issue an additional 500,000 shares of its Common Stock to former ATB shareholders upon the upgrade of KCAA radio in Loma Linda, California to 24 hour per day operations so long as such upgrade occurs within 12 months of Closing Date, and an additional 1,500,000 shares of our Common Stock to former ATB shareholders upon KCAA receiving FCC approval of a power upgrade to at least 10,000 watts daytime so long as such FCC approval is received within 36 months of Closing Date. The shares of our Common Stock will be issued in reliance on an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The availability of Section 4(2) is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain criteria thereunder.


Our principal executive offices are at 10400 Eaton Place, Suite 450, Fairfax, VA 22030.  Our telephone number is (703) 621-3875.

Our Business


AIMS™ was organized to provide accurate integrated marketing solutions to businesses, institutions and organizations.  Our corporate development model is to accelerate growth through carefully targeted acquisition of an array of media and marketing communications companies.  


We improve the aim, reduce the cost to reach and focus the marketing proposition down to creating a “one-to-one” relationship with the ideal customer.  Thus, our company has been formed: Accurate Integrated Marketing Solutions (“AIMS”™). This “one-to-one” relationship will be built using traditional as well as new media channels to drive the customer toward a measurable personal online interactive relationship.  In the AIMS™ paradigm marketing client efforts are judged on a standard based on Return On Marketing Investment (“ROMI”™).  We believe this method is a solution to the paradox of declining mass market audiences coupled with increasing advertising costs, which fails to integrate emerging technologies.


We are a small media property and integrated marketing communications consultancy company. The main focus is to provide marketing communications and media distribution services to large and mid-sized businesses.  It is the Company's intention to provide these services by organic new client consultancy services and by external development of acquiring existing marketing communications and media distribution and property firms rather than hiring a creative, marketing and sales staff and building the business internally.  


It is our intention to structure the Company into six divisions or groups; Marketing Consulting, Advertising Services, Strategy and Planning, Media, Public Affairs and Public Relations.  To this end we have entered strategic partnerships and acquired certain subsidiaries in order to achieve our desired organization.


AIMS Marketing Consulting Group consists of AIMS Worldwide, Inc., the parent of the divisions will oversee and control the remaining five groups.  In addition this Group will be the main conduit for new clients.


AIMS Advertising Services Group and strategic partner, Brad W. Baker Advertising Services, will focus on full service advertising, creative design, advertising production, direct response and strategic media planning for its clients.


AIMS Strategy and Planning Group has teamed with Harrell Woodcock Linkletter and strategic partners, Street Fighter Marketing, Inc., Bill Main & Associates, Inc. and Target America, Inc.  This group will provide marketing research, strategy, planning, consulting and training programs that provide cost effective methods and techniques to clients in advertising their services and products, plus effective selling and telemarketing skills.


AIMS Media Group includes the Company’s subsidiaries AIMS Interactive, Inc., f/k/a Prime Time Cable, Inc., a private cable TV delivery system in Florida and ATB Media which owns a 40% controlling interest in Radio Station KCAA in Loma Linda/San Bernadino, California, and minority interest in Group One Broadcasting, Inc., a Scottsdale, Arizona operator of the Talk One Radio Network.


AIMS Public Affairs Group and strategic partner Ikon Holdings, Inc. will concentrate on bringing the best and latest information and ideas from around the United States concerning candidates, public issues, legislation, state and local ballot measures.  This group will provide solutions to finding information on issues and organizations concerning local, state and national governments. We believe our national networking strategy will allow us to collect and deliver information to clients on a minute-by-minute basis.


AIMS Public Relations Group and strategic partner Sping O’Brien, Inc. will concentrate on creating public relations, publicity and special events through various media, networking, and promotions for its clients.


Trademarks


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

AIMS™ is an audio-logical-acronym for Accurate Integrated Marketing Solutions.

AIMS™ is a marketing system that is designed to vertically integrate horizontal services into a focused “one-to-one” marketing program/campaign.  One-2-One is also a trademark/service mark owned by AIMS.  We believe this system can meet and exceed a client company’s goals and objectives to expand their top line revenues, market and Customer Relationship Management (“CRM”™) at lower cost than legacy advertising and marketing communications programs.

AIMS has four signed letters of intent to acquire two marketing services companies, a digital marketing company, and a media property company.  There is no assurance any of the contemplated acquisitions will be consummated or if, when consummated, the operations will be successful.


Competition


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




5





Our internal research indicates that an estimated worldwide $3/4 trillion dollars is spent annually on the full range of marketing, marketing communications, marketing services and delivery systems this is a massive, diverse and fragmented service industry.  As such, globally there can be little doubt as to the competition in the marketing services space in which the leading companies, agencies and firms are better established, positioned, branded, staffed and capitalized than our Company.  


AIMS™ management has undertaken comprehensive industry research including evaluation of the full scope of marketing services including, but not limited to, advertising (Top 100), direct marketing (Top 20), sales promotion (Top 20), public relations (Top 20), market research (Top 25) and marketing support services (Top 200).  Based on our analysis, AIMS™ believes that traditional media and marketing services do not offer the integrated solutions we provide.


Regulation


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


Employees


We presently have 4 employees.  We plan to hire additional personnel on an as needed basis as our operations expend.  At the date of this report we do not have any formal employment agreements in place.

Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2004 and 2003


We generated revenue from continuing operations of $652,434 in 2004 compared to revenues of $280,958 in 2003.   Revenue totalling $131,463 representing approximately 20% of total revenue in 2004, was generated by sales to related parties.  Other revenue of $520,971 was from unrelated clients in 2004 compared to $10,000 in 2003.  The majority of our revenue was received from one client, an unrelated party.


Costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $3,639,203 compared to $953,496 in 2003.  Costs and expenses in 2004 were significantly higher than the previous year due to production costs associated with a major client and accrued salaries, increased costs of public reporting obligations and acquisition costs.  Stock issued to employees and for services was expensed at $1,336,600 in 2004 compared to $130,000 in 2003.  General and administrative expenses were $2,177,750 for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to $762,605 for the same period in 2003.  Related parties general and administrative expenses were $184,847 in 2004 compared to $60,891 for the same period in 2003.  For the year ended December 31, 2004, we had an operating loss of $2,986,769 compared to $672,538 in 2003.  Interest expense of $102,659 and related party expense of $27,319 totaled $129,978 for the year ended December 31, 2004 compared to $4,514 interest expense for the same period in 2003.  Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $3,116,747 compared to a net loss of $677,052 in 2003.


Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2003 and 2002


We generated revenue from continuing operations of  $280,958 in 2003 compared to revenues of $41,118 in 2002.  The majority of revenue was generated by sales to related parties.  Related party sales in 2003 to ATB Media and Newsnet, companies controlled by Michael Foudy, our Chairman and Director, totaled $270,958 and represented 96% of all sales.   The Company recorded $191,276 in revenue from the For Our Grandchildren Social Security Education Project, ("Education Project") under a cost plus fee arrangement, representing 61 percent of total revenue in 2003.  Total related party sales in 2002 were $31,718 representing 77% of all sales.  Of these sales, $16,000 in sales derived from accounts with NewsNet and $11,000 in sales were to ATB Media.  The remaining $4,718 in related party revenue was from the For Our Grandchildren Social Security Education Project, (“Education Project”).  We also received $11,374 in expense reimbursements from the Education Project.  Other revenue of $9,400 in 2002 was from sales to an unrelated client.

Costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $953,496. These 2003 expenses are significantly higher than those incurred during fiscal 2002. The increase is largely due to an impairment loss of $125,000 and general and administrative expenses of $828,496. Costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2002 were $134,045.  These 2002 expenses consisted of $40,734 in payments to related parties and $93,311 in other expenses.  Related party expenses were largely attributable to rent paid to the Education Project and to offices support expenses paid to our co-tenant.   The remaining expenses consisted mainly of general and administrative expenses.  These expenses were primarily due to auditing costs, legal expenses and consulting fees relating to the merger between AIMS and ETG.  As a result of the forgoing factors, we realized a net loss of $677,052 for 2003 and $92,927 for fiscal 2002.


Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates


General


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


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


Provisions for Doubtful Accounts and Authorized Credits


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


Legal Contingencies


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


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

Accounting for Income Taxes


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


Asset Impairments


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


Liquidity and Capital Resources


At December 31, 2004, total current assets were $960,543 consisting of $923,518 in cash, $1,839 in prepaid expense, $5,816 in other current assets, $4,370 in equipment and $25,000 advance to merger candidate.  Total current liabilities at December 31, 2004 were $4,881,154.  Our liabilities consist of accounts payable of $162,520, accounts payable to related parties of $196,202, accrued salaries in the amount of $1,123,380, notes payable to related parties of $975,969, accrued interest payable to related parties of $543,120, notes payable non-related parties of $1,224,493, accrued interest payable to non-related parties of $538,439 and other current liabilities of $117,03.


Subsequent to the date of this report, the accrued salaries were settled for 1,800,000 shares of our common stock.  Our non-related parties debt of $1,224,493 and interest of $538,439 are obligation of our subsidiary, ATB and are in default.  We are currently re-negotiating certain debt in order to reduce our liabilities.


At December 31, 2003, total current assets were $407,662 consisting of $252,080 in cash, $84,206 in accounts receivable, $65,319 due from ATB Media, a merger candidate, and $6,057 in security deposits.  Total current liabilities at December 31, 2003 were $233,349, consisting entirely of accounts payable.


We are still a relatively new company and have not yet fully implemented our business plan.  Due to our lack of profitable operations, our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  We do not have any long-term capital commitments and we believe that our immediate needs can be met with a combination of cash on hand and through ongoing operations.  However, we will require additional capital to fully implement our business plan.  We are currently negotiating to acquire other media providers and estimate that we will have to raise approximately $10,000,000 during the coming year for operating expenses and acquisition costs.  We will also have ongoing legal and auditing expenses as well as office and lease expenses.  If we cannot generate sufficient capital through ongoing operations, we will likely sell common stock, seek advances from officers or explore other debt financing strategies.


Management of AIMS Worldwide, Inc., is currently seeking capital to purchase its first group of four to five profitable operating organizations.  In accordance with the AIMS Five Year Plan, the target companies are currently financially healthy operating entities that, once acquired, will help fulfill AIMS' unique mission of organically growing a viable network of affiliated marketing and media subsidiaries.



11






Also, in accordance with management timetables, the unique nature of AIMS concept makes the capital seeking process somewhat different than one pursued for single, traditional marketing and media companies, which do not offer a wide range or products as those planned by AIMS; as of spring 2005 company principals have received enthusiastic responses from individuals representing potential capital sources.


Risk Factors


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


We have incurred net losses of approximately $3,116,747.  We do not expect to have consistent profitable operations until late 2005 and we cannot assure that we will ever achieve or attain profitability.  If we cannot achieve operating profitability, we will not be able to meet our working capital requirements, which would have a material adverse effect on our business and impair our ability to continue as a going concern.


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


Some of these risks include the need to:


*  attract new advertiser clients and maintain current advertiser relationships;

*  offer competitive pricing;

*  maintain and expand our network of advertising space through which we deliver advertising    programs;

*  achieve advertising campaign results that meet our clients’ objectives;

*  identify, attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel;

*  successfully implement our business model;

*  manage our expanding operations; and

*  maintain our reputation and build trust with our clients.


Because our advertiser client contracts generally can be cancelled by the client with little or no notice or penalty, the termination of one or more large contracts could result in an immediate decline in our revenues.

 

We derive substantially all of our revenues from marketing services under short-term contracts, most of which are cancelable upon 90 days or less notice. In addition, these contracts generally do not contain penalty provisions for cancellation before the end of the contract term. The non-renewal, re-negotiation, cancellation or deferral of large contracts, or a number of contracts that in the aggregate account for a significant amount of revenues, could cause an immediate and significant decline in our revenues and harm our business.


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

 

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


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

 

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



12





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

 

Our future success is substantially dependent on the continued service of our senior management and other key employees, particularly Gerald Garcia, our chief executive officer, Michael Foudy, our board chairman, Joe Vincent, our vice chairman and secretary and Patrick Summers, our chief financial officer. We do not have key-person insurance on any of our employees. We may be unable to retain existing management, technical, sales and client support personnel that are critical to our success, resulting in harm to key client relationships, loss of key information, expertise or know-how and unanticipated recruitment and training costs. The loss of the services of our senior management or other key employees could make it more difficult to successfully operate our business and pursue our business goals.

 

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

 

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


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

*    ineffectiveness or incompatibility of acquired technologies or services;

*    diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns;

*    unavailability of favorable financing for future acquisitions;

*    potential loss of key employees of acquired businesses;

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

*    responsibility for liabilities of acquired businesses; and

*    increased fixed costs.

 

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

 

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

Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.


Our chairman and director, Michael Foudy, is  a member of the management committee of the For Our Grandchildren Social Security Education Project.  (“Education Project”).  We had an agreement to provide marketing and communications services for the Education Project through December 31, 2004. The Company recorded $491,521 and $191,276 in revenue  in 2004 and 2003 respectively from the For Our Grandchildren Social Security Education Project, ("Education Project") under a cost plus fee arrangement, representing 61 percent of total revenue in 2003 and 75 percent of total revenue in 2004.


We accrued stock-based compensation totaling $1,123,380 as of December 31, 2004 for services performed by our officers during 2004.  In January 2005, we issued those officers a total of 1.8 million shares of common stock valued $1,123,380 in satisfaction of our liability.

 

In 2004, we acquired a company under common control, ATB Media, Inc. (“ATB”.)  ATB was formed in 1997 in Delaware to participate in the acquisition and operation of radio and television stations.  Through December 2004, ATB had advanced $1,010,573 to entities acquiring certain of these radio stations.  In addition, ATB had acquired a $201,659 interest in Group One Broadcasting, Inc. Because of uncertainty in recovering these investments, management has written them off.

The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of AIMS’ financial statements that are not reported above were $ 0 for fiscal year ended 2004, and $175 for fiscal year ended 2003 and consisted of review of the merger agreement.


Tax Fees


There were no fees for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning for the fiscal years 2004 and 2003.


All Other Fees


There were no other aggregate fees billed in either of the last two fiscal years for products and services provided by the principal accountant, other than the services reported above.


We do not have an audit committee currently serving and as a result our board of directors performs the duties of an audit committee.  Our board of directors will evaluate and approve in advance, the scope and cost of the engagement of an auditor before the auditor renders audit and non-audit services.  We do not rely on pre-approval policies and procedures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of:

AIMS Worldwide, Inc.:


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of AIMS Worldwide, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.


We conducted our audit in accordance with 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AIMS Worldwide, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two year period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying  financial statements have been prepared assuming that AIMS Worldwide, Inc. will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses and working capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not contain any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


As described in Note 2, 75 percent and 96 percent respectively, of the Company’s net sales in the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 are concentrated in one customer.  A reduction in the level of net sales to or the loss of this customer could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.


In 2003, the Company emerged from the development stage.

AIMS WORLDWIDE, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


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


Organization

Description of Operations

AIMS Worldwide, Inc. provides integrated marketing and media services to businesses.  We have recently commenced operations.  


Background

We were incorporated in Nevada on October 7, 2002 to act as the successor to AIMS Group, LLC (the “LLC”).  Effective October 7, 2002, the LLC reorganized and the existing members exchanged 100 percent of their memberships in the LLC for an aggregate of 10,000,000 common shares of our company.  This transaction was a reorganization of companies under common control, and accordingly, it was accounted for at historical cost.


Effective December 17, 2002, Accurate Integrated Marketing Solutions Worldwide, Inc. (“AIMSWI”) merged with ETG Corporation (“ETG”) which was incorporated in the state of Nevada on March 13, 1996.  Subsequent to the merger, ETG changed its name to AIMS Worldwide, Inc.  In 1999, ETG filed a Form SB-2 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the registration of up to 200,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.00 per share.  ETG closed the offering in April 2000 and realized approximately $158,250 in proceeds from the public offering, net of related offering costs.  


Basis of Presentation

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


We have incurred significant operating losses since our inception and we have a net working capital deficiency at December 31, 2004.  We are currently seeking equity capital in order to proceed with our business plan.  While we have been successful in the past in raising equity capital, the unique nature of our business concept has limited our ability to acquire additional equity capital.  We believe that we are not a viable candidate for commercial bank debt financing due to our lack of operating history and our lack of tangible assets.   There is no assurance that we will meet the objectives of our business plan or that we will be successful in obtaining additional financing. Because there is no guarantee that we will succeed in accomplishing our objectives, substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern.    


As of December 31, 2003, we no longer classify ourselves as a development stage enterprise in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 7, Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises (“SFAS No. 7”).  


Cash and cash equivalents

For financial accounting purposes and the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.  We had $300,000 on cash equivalents as of December 31, 2004.




27





Use of estimates

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


Accounts Receivable

After reviewing and assessing our accounts receivable for collectibility, we have determined that all receivables are collectible.


Intangibles

Our software technology license is stated at cost and the license is amortized over its term of three years.  Our software technology license is amortized using the straight-line method.


Income Taxes

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


Earnings/(loss) per share

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


At December 31, 2004, there was no variance between basic and diluted loss per share as the exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase common stock would be potentially anti-dilutive.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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


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


Revenue Recognition

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


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


A substantial portion of our 2004 service revenue was derived from a cost-plus service contract with a related entity.   In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 99-19 “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent,” we recognize the net amount of revenue retained under the contract because we have earned a management fee.



28





Stock-based Compensation

We account for stock-based employee compensation issued under compensatory plans using the intrinsic value method, which calculates compensation expense based on the difference, if any, on the date of the grant, between the fair value of our stock and the option exercise price. Generally accepted accounting principles require companies who choose to account for stock option grants using the intrinsic value method to also determine the fair value of option grants using an option-pricing model, such as the Black-Scholes model, and to disclose the impact of fair value accounting in a note to the financial statements. In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123.” We did not elect to voluntarily change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock based employee compensation and record such amounts as charges to operating expense.   


We account for stock-based consulting compensation under the fair value based method which calculates compensation expense based on the fair value of the options expected to vest on the date the option is granted.


However, the FASB revised Statement No. 123 in 2004.  Statement No. 123, as revised, requires recognition of the cost of employee services provided in exchange for stock options and similar equity instruments based on the fair value of the instrument at the date of grant. Statement 123, as originally issued, is effective until the provisions of Statement 123(R) are fully adopted. Statement 123(R) is effective the first interim reporting period after December 15, 2005. The Company will adopt this guidance as of June 15, 2005 and begin recognizing compensation expense related to stock options should any be issued. The requirements of SFAS No. 123 will also be applied to stock options granted subsequent to December 15, 2005.


Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

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


Note 2: Related Party Transactions


We accrued stock-based compensation totaling $1,123,380 as of December 31, 2004 for services performed by our officers during 2004.  In January 2005, we issued those officers a total of 1.8 million shares of common stock valued $1,123,380 in satisfaction of our liability.

 

In 2004, we exchanged equity interests with ATB Media, Inc. (“ATB”.)  ATB was formed in 1997 in Delaware to participate in the acquisition and operation of radio and television stations.  We accounted for this transaction at historical cost because prior to the acquisition, ATB was an entity under common control.  We issued 1,936,891 shares of our common stock for all of the outstanding common stock of ATB, which had net liabilities of $3,783,983.


Through December 2004, ATB had advanced $1,010,573 to entities acquiring certain of these radio stations.  In addition, ATB had acquired interests in other entities totaling $201,659. Because of uncertainty in recovering these investments, management has written them off.

Note 5: Income Taxes


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


A reconciliation of U.S. statutory federal income tax rate to the effective rate follows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 follows:

The benefit for income taxes from operations consisted of the following components at December 31, 2004: current tax benefit of $1,464,000 resulting from a net loss before income taxes, and deferred tax expense of $1,464,000 resulting from the valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax asset resulting from net operating losses.

The benefit for income taxes from operations consisted of the following components at December 31, 2003: current tax benefit of $281,000 resulting from a net loss before income taxes, and deferred tax expense of $281,000 resulting from the valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax asset resulting from net operating losses.


The change in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2004 was $1,183,000. The change in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $262,000. Net operating loss carryforwards at December 31, 2004 will expire in 2024. The valuation allowance will be evaluated at the end of each year, considering positive and negative evidence about whether the asset will be realized.


At that time, the allowance will either be increased or reduced; reduction could result in the complete elimination of the allowance if positive evidence indicates that the value of the deferred tax asset is no longer impaired and the allowance is no longer required.

Common stock

We issued 388,150 restricted shares of our common stock to employees and consultants in exchange for services in 2004.  The value of these awards totalled $238,631.  The compensation expense was measured based on the quoted market price of the stock on the date of issuance.
