NOTE C:  CONTINGENCIES


The Internal Revenue Service is auditing IKON Holdings, Inc, the corporation from which AIMS acquired the 55% interest in IKON Public Affairs Group, LLC.  The examination is not complete, and no expense to AIMS is expected as a result of the examination.


NOTE D:  INCOME TAXES


The Company records its income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."  The Company incurred net operating losses during the periods shown on the condensed consolidated financial statements resulting in a deferred tax asset, which was fully allowed for, therefore the net benefit and expense result in $-0- income taxes.

Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement with FG Investment Holdings, LLC


As of June 30, 2008, the Company is continuing in its efforts to secure financing to complete core competency acquisitions in the marketing and communications platform, and to fund its organic growth plan.  The Company is placed in the position of seeking this financing by reason of the failure of Liberty Growth Fund LP to perform its obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement entered into by and between the Company and Liberty in 2007.


On July 8, 2008, the Company entered into a Series B Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement, (the “Agreement”), with FG Investment Holdings, LLC.  Under the Agreement, FG Investment Holdings, LLC purchased 93,750 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for $150,000.00, and received a warrant to purchase 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a price per share of $0.352.  In addition, FG Investment has the right to purchase 1,406,250 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for $2,250,000 (the “Second Round Financing”) conditional on the Company meeting certain conditions.  Upon closing of the Second Round Financing, FG will receive a warrant to purchase 21,875,000 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.50 per share.  The Agreement also provides for a Third Round Financing in the amount of $2,100,000 (net) in exchange for 1,312,500 of Series B Preferred Stock which also requires the Company to meet certain conditions.  The Company will pay a fee to FG Investment Holdings, LLC in the amount of $450,000 simultaneously with the consummation of the Third Closing.


The Agreement requires the Company to register the shares of common stock underlying the Series B Preferred Stock and warrants with the Securities and Exchange Commission upon demand by FG Investment Holdings, LLC.


The Agreement also requires the Company to appoint a director selected by FG Investment Holdings, LLC, to the Board of Directors of the Company.


In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios ("EITF 98-5"), the Company recognized an imbedded beneficial conversion feature present in the convertible preferred stock.  The Company recognized and measured an aggregate of $2,500,000, which is equal to the intrinsic value of the imbedded beneficial conversion feature, to additional paid-in capital and a return to the convertible preferred stock holders.  Since the preferred shares were convertible at the date of issuance, the return to the preferred shareholders attributed to the beneficial conversion feature has been recognized in full at the date the convertible preferred stock was issued.

ITEM 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Forward Looking Statements


This report contains certain forward-looking statements as defined by the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  AIMS™ Worldwide, Inc., cautions readers that expressions of future goals and similar expressions reflecting something other than historical fact are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  Words such as “May,” “Will,” “Expect,” “Believe,” “Anticipate,” “Intend,” and comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements.  These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated or discussed in this report.  Factors that may affect our results include, but are not limited to, market acceptance of our products and technologies, our ability to secure financing, potential competition from other companies with greater technical and marketing resources, and other factors described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


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., 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.


Our principal executive offices are at 10400 Eaton Place, Suite #203, Fairfax, VA 22030.  Our telephone number is 703/621-3875 and our fax number is 703/621-3870.  Our URL is www.aimsworldwide.com


Our Business

Our Company structure consists of seven major business units ("MBUs"):  AIMSolutions Consulting, Advertising Services, Strategy and Planning, Public Affairs, Public Relations, Digital Marketing and Media Properties.  To this end we have entered into strategic partnerships, acquired certain subsidiaries, and are in the process of acquiring additional core competency companies to achieve our desired organization.

AIMSolutions during the past five years has been a research and development consulting practice refining its accurate integrated marketing solutions scientific processes to “go to market” and sell the marketing solution product to fee-paid clients.  AIMSolutions has undertaken a number of client beta-tests in the on-going development of its vertically integrated marketing solution process.  Beta-test clients have been in a number of applications industries including but not limited to public policy issues, political campaign marketing, consumer electronics, medical and health care, distribution services, consumer package goods, restaurant, food service, and hospitality, etc.  The scope of these industry development activities has established a platform of knowledge, processes, and intellectual properties, sufficient as a proof-of-concept to introduce AIMSolutions.  Based on the aforementioned, management believes that we have completed our research and development stage, and AIMSolutions is entering its going-concern revenue-driven consulting practice.


Trademarks and Licenses


We hold common law trademarks on AIMS™ and ROMI™, and One-2-One™.  AIMS™ is a unique doctrine, process, intellectual property, delivery system and corporate development method integrated into what we believe is a powerful client/customer centric professional service model.

Subsidiaries

ATB Media, Inc.


On April 19, 2004, we acquired ATB Media, Inc. ("ATB").  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.



14



ATB currently owns a 40% participating interest in Radio Station KCAA in Loma Linda/San Bernardino, California and owns rights to receive income participation from one or more radio stations if and when acquired.  KCAA operates in a 24-hour broadcast cycle.  On March 19, 2008, station management received approval from the FCC for a construction permit that would allow station management to expand the current facility to support daytime broadcasts at 10,000 watts.


ATB holds a minority interest in Group One Broadcasting, Inc. that was organized to, among other reasons, meet the needs and demands for quality radio programming.  Group One Broadcasting, Inc. is the operator of the Talk One Radio Network in Scottsdale, Arizona.


AIMS™ and Broadcast Management Systems in Houston, the majority interest and operating owner of KCAA-AM Radio Station in Loma Lind/San Bernardino, California, have agreed to list the station for sale now that a 10,000 watt approval has been received from the FCC and anticipate selling the station in 2008 or early 2009.  On July 30, 2008, BSM management signed a listing agreement with CMS Station Brokerage of Pittsburgh, Penn., on a non-exclusive basis, and signed a similar agreement with EnVest Media of Richmond, Va., on September 2, 2008.  However, there are no guarantees that or assurances that market conditions will be conducive to providing a suitable and acceptable purchaser.


Streetfighter Marketing, Inc.

Target America, Inc.


Acquired July 26, 2007, with a base in Fairfax, Virginia, and offices in Indianapolis and Chicago, Target America, Inc. was founded in 1995 under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia to meet the rapidly changing needs of not-for-profit charity and philanthropy fundraising professionals.  The company is a constant innovator in the field of contributor and donor prospect research, developing and launching a completely online prospect screening service in 2003.  Target America continues to upgrade and develop this tool, which now includes a wide range of services from automated Internet research and Target Tiger™, and internet search engine, to an integrated management system to serve not only the not-for profit community, but business, commerce database profiles, retail, and financial institutions as well.


IKON Public Affairs Group, LLC


On July 26, 2007, AIMS Worldwide, Inc., acquired 55% of IKON Public Affairs Group, LLC, a limited liability company formed under the of Delaware laws.  Post-closing, IPAG, through its offices in Washington, D.C., and Denver, continues the business previously conducted by IKON Holdings, Inc., providing consulting services in connection with political campaigns and issue advocacy.  Management of AIMS determined, while evaluating this potential acquisition, that the primary value to be acquired was the value of the customer list and services of the two principals, including the reputation and work product and methods of those individuals.  In fall 2008 IKON Holdings, Inc., and AIMS Worldwide, Inc., (parties related to IKON Public Affairs Group, LLC) formed a media buying and selling cooperative, managed by IKON Public Affairs Group, LLC.


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 digital 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 and revolutionary tapestries in the world.



15



Our internal research indicates that an estimated worldwide $1 trillion plus is spent annually on the full range of marketing, marketing communications, marketing services, media, 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, while with far greater financial and human resources than the company, do not currently offer the integrated solutions AIMS™ provides.


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 property.


Employees


AIMS Worldwide, Inc., corporate headquarters has five employees, and, including our operating subsidiaries, has a total of approximately twenty-five employees.  We plan to hire additional personnel on an as-needed basis as our operations expand.  As of September 30, 2008, we continued to have no formal employment agreements in place at the corporate level.


Description of Property


Our executive offices are located at 10400 Eaton Place, Suite 203, in Fairfax, Virginia, 22030.  Our subsidiaries which have separate offices are located as follows:  Bill Main and Associates has one office located in Chico, California; IKON Public Affairs Group has two main offices, one located in Arlington, Virginia, and the other in Denver; Streetfighter Marketing, Inc., has one office located in Gahanna, Ohio; and Target America has its base office in Fairfax, Virginia.


Three Month Periods Ended September 30, 2008 and 2007


The Company is reporting its largest revenue quarter in its history.  We had $7,546,166 in revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared with $987,202 in revenue for the same three month period of 2007 (a 664% increase), substantially due to the recently formed media buying and selling project managed by IKON Public Affairs Group, LLC.  Cost of sales was $5,622,816, leaving a gross profit of $1,923,350 for the three month period of 2008 compared with cost of sales of $198,765 and a gross profit of $788,437 for the same three month period of 2007.


Our general and administrative expenses were $2,203,220 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to general and administrative expense of $1,858,769 for the same period in 2007.  Our operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2008, was $279,870 compared to $1,070,332 for the same period in 2007.  The primary reason for the decrease is attributed to the media activities noted above as well as reduced general and administrative expenses.


Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 2008 and 2007


Because of the significant third quarter 2008 revenue increase, the Company had $10,243,669 in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 (the largest 1st-3rd quarter revenue in its history), compared with $1,122,753 in revenue for the same nine month period of 2007.  Cost of sales was $5,708,340, leaving a gross profit of $4,535,329 for the first nine month period of 2008 compared with cost of sales of $235,740 and a gross profit of $887,013 for the same nine month period of 2007.


Our general and administrative expenses were $5,658,110 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to general and administrative expense of $3,041,779 for the same period in 2007.  Our operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, was $1,122,781 compared to $2,154,766 for the same period in 2007.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


At September 30, 2008, we had total current assets of $6,112,403 consisting of $899,420 in cash, $5,169,026 in accounts receivable, $6,443 of inventory and $37,514 in prepaid expenses.  Equipment, net of accumulated depreciation was $185,029, and other assets included $3,908,755 in Goodwill and $1,630,298 in net intangible assets which includes non-compete employment agreements, the Street Fighter, Bill Main, IKON, and Target America brand and copyrights, and letters of intent.



16



Our liabilities at September 30, 2008, totaled $11,732,654 and consisted of $6,513,274 in accounts payable, $31,311 in deferred revenue, $975,971 in notes payable to related parties, $891,250 in accrued interest payable to related parties, $2,239,617 in notes payable and $1,079,403 in accrued interest.


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 acquisition costs, growth capital, and other expenses.  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.


Company management is currently seeking capital to purchase another group of profitable operating organizations which are currently being identified.  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.


ITEM 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.


Not required by smaller reporting companies.


ITEM 4T.  Controls and Procedures.


(a)

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).  Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).  Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2008.  As reported in section 8A(T) Controls and Procedures on Form 10KSB for the Year ended December 31, 2007, our disclosure controls and procedures were determined to be not effective due to material weaknesses related to a lack of segregation of duties and specific anti-fraud controls in the corporate office.  At June 31, 2008, the company had not added additional personnel required to offset this deficiency but has instituted procedures such as additional reconciliation of key accounts to mitigate the potential effect of this deficiency.


This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management’s report in this quarterly report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.  The company instituted a whistle-blower policy and procedure as required by Section 301 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act on March 10, 2008.  In addition, during the second quarter, management compiled specific procedures for the Chairman of the Audit Committee to independently investigate and resolve any issues or concerns raised.  Management determined that the identified material weakness specific to procedures for the Chairman of the Audit Committee has been fully remediated.  There were no other changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting, known to the chief executive officer or the chief financial officer that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.


PART II - Other Information


ITEM 1.  Legal Proceedings


Jose R. Trujillo v. Michael L. Foudy, AIMS Worldwide, Inc., American Institute for Full Employment, The Committee for Good Common Sense, et al., in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida, case No. 502005CA005603XXXXMB, affidavit filed December 9, 2005.


In this case, an individual in Florida named Jose Trujillo sued several corporations and individuals, including AIMS™, alleging breach of contract.  AIMS management disputes that it should be a party to this suit because Mr. Foudy did not have the authority to bind the Company to any agreement.  Subsequent to September 30, 2008, management advised its counsel to file for summary judgment and expects this legal matter to be settled by year-end 2008.

ITEM 1A.  Risk Factors


The Company's business is subject to numerous risk factors, including the following:


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


We incurred operating losses of $2,962,239 in 2007.  We do not expect to have consistent profitable operations until 2009 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 AIMSolutions marketing clients and maintain current client relationships,


-

offer competitive pricing,


-

maintain and expand our network of advertising space through which we deliver the advertising component of our AIMSolutions,


-

achieve marketing solution campaign results that meet our clients’ objectives,


-

identify, attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel,


-

successfully implement our organic and acquisition business model,


-

manage our expanding operations,


-

maintain our reputation and build trust with our clients,


-

locate, negotiate, and assimilate core competency acquisitions, and


-

attract and package the appropriate corporate finance and investment capital to underwrite our core competency acquisition corporate development.


AIMSolutions


Because AIMSolutions (our consulting service offered at the corporate level) client contracts generally can be cancelled by the client with little or no notice or penalty in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the professional consulting service contract, the termination of one or more large contracts could result in an immediate decline in our revenues.  


Harrell, Woodcock, and Linkletter


Although Harrell, Woodcock, and Linkletter has no current on-going operation, we may ultimately get no return on our investment due to lack of acquisitions even though the Company has acquired in this core competency platform Bill Main and Associates and Street Fighter Marketing.


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 have a high degree of risk and 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 do not cover these development costs, our operating results could be adversely affected.



18



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.


Our intellectual property currently includes AIMS™ (Accurate Integrated Marketing Solutions) “One-2-One”, referring to one to one marketing relationship in that the trade expression provides a stepped-up marketing power to the number 2, strengthening our clients’ relationship with their customers, end-users, households and communities.


Also included is our trademark “ROMI™”, our trade expression providing out clients with a measurable, accountable return on their marketing dollars which are invested in building sales and revenues.


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, Jr., our Chief Executive Officer, B. Joseph Vincent, our Chairman, and Patrick J. Summers, our Chief Financial Officer and Recording Secretary.  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 many 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.
