ETERNAL IMAGE, INC. (A DELAWARE CORPORATION)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2010

(Unaudited)



Nature of Operations


Eternal Image was incorporated January 31, 2006 in the State of Delaware. Eternal Image, Inc. ("Eternal Image") ("The Company") and is one of the first manufacturers of branded, licensed funerary products for humans and pets and has established it as its one reportable segment.  Eternal Image secures license agreements with appropriate brand licensors and develops funerary products (such as caskets, urns, and vaults) using the brand logo and images prominently in the design of the product.


Once a license is secured, Eternal Image works with designers and engineers to create product drawings and prototypes. The prototypes are then approved by the brand license holder. Once approval has been received by the brand licensor, Eternal Image then sends the specifications for that product to its third party manufacturers/suppliers for quotation before a manufacturer/supplier is chosen to commence production. Eternal Image utilizes a distribution network that in turn supplies funeral homes throughout the United States.


From inception until December 31, 2006 the Company was in the development stage and had accumulated a deficit of $5,150,801.  In January, 2007 the Company had achieved planned operations and began generating revenue from sales.  For year-ending December 31, 2009, the Company had posted a positive gross-profit figure for the first time.  


1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:


Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation


These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with (i) accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; and (ii) the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.


Unaudited Financial Statements


The accompanying financial statements of Eternal Image, Inc. (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements have been condensed or omitted.  The results for the periods indicated are unaudited, but reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normally recurring adjustments) which management considers necessary for a fair presentation of operating results.


The operating results for the three-month period ending March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2010. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.



Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements


The company does not anticipate the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

2.  Going Concern


The Company has suffered losses from operations that may raise doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As of March 31, 2010, the Company has both negative working capital and a stockholders' deficiency. The Company may raise capital through the sale of its equity securities, through debt securities, or through borrowings from financial institutions.  Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that additional financing which is necessary for the Company to continue its business will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ETERNAL IMAGE, INC. (A DELAWARE CORPORATION)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2010

(Unaudited)



 

The Company has no financial or non-financial covenants or agreements on any of its debt instruments.


4.  Risks and Uncertainties


The Company is subject to risk and uncertainty common to start-up companies including, but not limited to, successful development, promotion, and sale of products, protection of proprietary technology, and expansion of market coverage.


As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred significant losses from operations and negative operating cash flows, which have been financed primarily by proceeds from stock and debt issuance. As a result the Company had accumulated deficits of approximately $21,491,509 and $16,903,809 at March 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively.


Management plans to provide for additional working capital and funds for the continued development and promotion of its products through public sale of the Company's common stock, debt securities or borrowing from financial institutions.  Management is also attempting to expand its number of third party manufacturers/suppliers to help get better product prices which could increase cash flow during early stages of sales growth. No assurance can be given that the Company will successfully expand its number of third party manufacturers/suppliers.


5.  Subsequent Events


The company has evaluated subsequent events from the period March 31, 2010, the date of these financial statements, through May 21, 2010, which represents the date these financial statements are being filed with the Commission.


Pursuant to the requirements of FASB ASC topic 855, there were no events or transactions occurring during this subsequent event reporting period that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION


The following should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company included elsewhere herein.

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


When used in this report, the words “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “continue,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plans”, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements regarding events, conditions and financial trends which may affect our future plans of operations, business strategy, operating results and financial position.  Forward looking statements in this report include without limitation statements relating to trends affecting our financial condition or results of operations, our business and growth strategies and our financing plans.

 

Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties and actual results may differ materially from those included within the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.  Such factors include, among other things, general economic conditions; cyclical factors affecting our industry; lack of growth in our industry; our ability to comply with government regulations; a failure to manage our business effectively; our ability to sell products at profitable yet competitive prices; and other risks and factors set forth from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the result of any revision of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.


Overview


We are in the business of manufacturing (through third party manufacturers/suppliers) and marketing of branded, licensed funerary products (such as funeral caskets, urns and covers) for humans and pets. We started our operational phase and began selling product and having revenues in the first quarter of 2007. Prior to this, we were in the development stage trying to creating our own market within the funerary products industry.   Management believes that we have no direct competition in this market. We have secured license agreements with appropriate brand licensors and develop funerary products using the brand logo and images prominently in the design of the funerary product. Currently, we have license agreements with such brand name entities as Major League Baseball, Precious Moments, the Vatican Observatory Foundation, Star Trek, The Collegiate Licensing Company (colleges and universities), American Kennel Club, and Cat Fanciers’ Association.  The long term plans of the Company are to pursue and secure other license arrangements with reputable, household brand names that will be a good fit with our products.


We are in the process of forming a new division that will handle the manufacturing and sales of gift-related funeral items such as candles, prayer cards, and registry books.


Currently, we produce (through third party manufacturers/suppliers) and market five logo designed products: caskets, urns, vault covers (Major League Baseball and Star Trek), garden memorial stones (American Kennel Club and Cat Fanciers’ Association), and cemetery medallions* (Major League Baseball, Star Trek, Precious Moments and Collegiate Licensing Company.) (*A medallion is a solid bronze medallion that is affixed to a headstone.)


We have a two fold marketing strategy.  Our primary targets are funeral homes, directors, distributors and funeral home conglomerates to which we sell our products.  We reach these targets through the use of independent sales representatives. Our second target is the American public, who we attempt to expose to our products through channel appropriate advertising such as in “Catholic Digest”, “Baseball Digest”, “Dog Fancy Magazine” and public relations positioning efforts.



8






To date, our revenues have been insufficient to fund our operations, and we anticipate this continuing for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, we have been dependent upon debt and equity financing and will continue to be so.


Recent Developments


On February 16, 2010, we entered into a two year, binding Letter of Understanding (“LOU”) with Mathews International Corporation, a publicly held designer, manufacturer and distributor of memorialization products.  The LOU requires Matthews to make certain minimum purchases from the Company during its term. See our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 25, 2010. Also, on February 19, 2010, we entered into a five year sublicensing agreement which grants the Company a sublicense to design, manufacture, and distribute Vatican Observatory collection funerary products. See our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 22, 2010


Plan of Operation


We did not have revenues during our fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2006, and only began having revenues in the quarter ended March 31, 2007.  Prior to us having revenues, our only sources of capital were through the private sale of our securities and loans including loans from officers and directors. Since our reverse merger in February 2006 through December 31, 2009, we have received $2,170,168 in gross proceeds from the sale of our common stock. For the quarter ending March 31, 2010, we received an additional $82,027 in gross proceeds from the sale of our common stock.


As a company in the early stage of developing a new business—the manufacturing and marketing of designer funerary products such as funeral caskets and urns—our primary efforts have been devoted to developing our new business and raising capital. Accordingly, we have limited capital resources and have experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations since the time of our reverse merger in February 2006 and expect these conditions to continue for the foreseeable future.  As of March 31, 2010, the Company had approximately $504,429 in cash and other current assets. Management believes that cash and other current assets on hand as of March 31, 2010, are not sufficient to fund operations for the next 12 months and will likely be sufficient for only three months.  Accordingly, we will be required to raise additional funds to meet our short and long-term planned goals. There can be no assurance that such funds, if available at all, can be obtained on terms reasonable to us. In this regard, we have obtained and will continue to attempt to obtain raise funds through the private sale of our securities and (short and long term) loans for inventory purchases, new product development, expansion, advertising and marketing. We cannot predict if and when we will become profitable and less dependent upon outside financing sources.


Currently, we do not have sufficient financial resources to implement or complete our business plan.  We anticipate that we will need a minimum of $1,500,000 to satisfy our cash requirements over the next 12 months. Since we did not obtain sufficient funding or revenues during the quarter ending March 31, 2010, our minimum of $1,500,000 in anticipated cash requirements for the next 12 months remains virtually the same as the estimate contained in our Annual Reports (Form 10-K) for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009. We cannot be assured that revenue from operations, if any, will be sufficient to fund our activities during the next 12 months. Accordingly, if there is a shortfall of funds, we will have to seek alternate sources of capital, including private placements, a public offering, and/or loans from officers and/or third party lenders.  We can offer no assurance that we will be able to raise additional funds if needed, on acceptable terms to us on a timely basis or otherwise. If we are unsuccessful in our attempts to raise sufficient capital, we may have to cease operations, seek joint venture partners or postpone our plans to initiate or complete our business plan. In that case, you may lose your entire investment in our company. If the funds become available, we intend to apply, over the next 12 months as follows:


Funding next wave of production orders for the next 12 months. Estimated Cost: $830,000

Commence and establish marketing, advertising and promotion programs to increase brand equity and awareness. Estimated cost:  $150,000.



9





Salaries, including for present employees and possible new hiring of additional management personnel and appropriate operating and sales staff. Estimated cost: $250,000.

Partial (or full) repayment of loans. Estimated cost: $120,000.

Secure additional strategic licenses to support our long term growth strategy. Estimated Cost: $150,000


These are only estimates and no assurance can be given regarding either statement as to timing or actual eventuality. If more than the minimum amounts indicated above are raised, we anticipate spending increased amounts on establishing and expanding our distribution network, marketing, advertising and promotions.


Results of Operations


The Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009


The following summarizes changes in our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. Net Loss decreased $3,095,870 or 1108% to ($279,393) in the three months ended March 31, 2010 from ($3,375,623) in the three months ended March 31, 2009.  This decrease in loss was primarily related to less stock issued for debt conversions.

Sales.   Sales decreased by $74,049 or approximately 59%, from $126,015 in the three months ended March 31, 2009 to $51,966 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This decrease was due to the following factors:


  

·

Q1 2009 marked the first quarter that Eternal Image had caskets available to sell.  There was an influx of orders in Q1 2009 as distributors stocked up on casket models


Cost of Goods Sold.  Cost of goods sold decreased by $63,504 or approximately 66%, from approximately $96,785 in the three months ended March 31, 2009 to $33,281 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This decrease was directly related to lower sales volume and the sale of items already paid for that are in inventory.


Gross Profit.  Gross profit was $18,685, or approximately 36% of our sales for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to gross profit of $29,230 or 23% for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Operating Expenses . Operating expenses decreased by $253,595 or approximately 57%, from $445,822 in the three months ended March 31, 2009 to $192,227 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The primary reasons for this decrease were less staff on hand and less professional fees paid out.


Administrative Expenses. Administrative expenses decreased by $26,436, or approximately 68%, from $38,663 in the three months ended March 31, 2009 to $12,227 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The principal reason for the increase was there was less staff on hand, and the three officers of the Company continue to forego any salary.


Other Income (Expense).  Other Income (Expense) decreased $2,853,179 or 96% to $(105,852) in the three months ended March 31, 2010 from ($2,959,031) in three months ended March 31, 2009.  This decrease is primarily due to the fact that the Company did not convert as much debt into equity as the previous reporting period.  


Net Loss.  Net Loss decreased $3,095,870 or 1108% to ($279,393) in the three months ended March 31, 2010 from ($3,375,623) in the three months ended March 31, 2009.  This decrease in loss was primarily related to less stock issued for debt conversions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


Since our reverse merger in February 2006 through December 31, 2009, we have received $2,170,168 in gross proceeds from the sale of our common stock. For the quarter ending March 31, 2010, we received an additional $82,027 in gross proceeds from the sale of our common stock.


As of March 31, 2010, we had $504,429 of cash and other current assets on hand. Also, as of that date, we had accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1,371,016 including $231,680 in guaranteed minimum royalty and license payments. In addition, as of March 31, 2010, we had a total notes payable principal balance of $417,559.  To date, we have not been in default under the terms, provisions and/or covenants of said loans.


There are no financial or non-financial covenants with regard to any of the debt instruments. Furthermore, the notes are simple promissory bearing interest ranging from 5% - 20% with accrued interest and principal payable at the end of the term of each note, except that the Shatter note requires monthly payments of  interest and principal of $1,836 and calls for 5% per annum. Each holder of a note with a term that has expired or is expiring in the near future has agreed to an extension under the same terms.  Ms. Shatter and Mr. Popravsky, Sr. are officers and directors of the Company, and Mr. Parliament is a former officer of the Company.  The notes are as follows:

We believe that the available cash resources on March 31, 2010, are not likely to be sufficient to meet anticipated working capital requirements for at least the next three months.  We intend to seek additional funding (debt or equity) for pursuing our business plan, expansion of existing operations or other purposes, or to the extent that our operations do not generate sufficient levels of profitability and cash flow. Should we seek to raise additional capital, there can be no assurances that such capital can be raised on satisfactory terms, on a timely basis, or at all. In the event that we are unable to raise the additional capital (or a significant portion of it) that we require, we will not be able to execute our business plan which may result in the termination of our operations.


Our future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including the expansion of our business operations.


Currently, because we are a relatively new business with limited credit history, we generally pay for our purchases “up front” (in most cases) and are not granted extended credit terms at this time. This will continue until we have established a satisfactory credit history. We cannot estimate, with any certainty, how long this may take, or if it will occur at all. In this regard, recently, our major supplier has agreed (orally) to allow us to pay for our product supplies “net 30 days”. This has enabled us to utilize these funds for other purposes and improves our liquidity.  Our inability to obtain credit from other such providers has a significant impact upon our liquidity and our ability to utilize funds for other purposes. Similarly, if and when we hire additional personnel, including management and sales personnel, the cost related to such hiring’s will have a significant impact on our liquidity and deployment of funds.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


At March 31, 2010, we did not have any transactions, obligations or relationships that could be considered off-balance sheet arrangements.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including the recoverability of tangible and intangible assets, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported



12





amounts of expenses during the periods covered. A summary of accounting policies that have been applied to the historical financial statements can be found in the notes to our consolidated financial statements.


We evaluate our estimates on an on-going basis. The most significant estimates relate to intangible assets, deferred financing and issuance costs, and the fair value of financial instruments. We base our estimates on historical company and industry experience and on various other assumptions that we believe 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. Our actual results may differ materially from those estimates.


The following is a brief discussion of our critical accounting policies and methods, and the judgments and estimates used by us in their application.


Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, determined on a average cost basis.


Stock-based Compensation – Under the provision SFAS 123, employee stock awards under the company’s compensation plan are expensed based on fair value.


ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.


ITEM 4T - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


As of March 31, 2010, management performed, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer (who is the same person), an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the report we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management including our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on the evaluation and the identification of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.  The aforementioned material weaknesses were first identified on or about April 13, 2009, by the Company's Chief Financial Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of December 31, 2008 and communicated the matters to our management.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

  

·

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;



13





·

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of our company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

·

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, the Company assessed the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2010. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on the results of this assessment and on those criteria, the Company concluded that a material weakness exists in the internal controls as of December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010.

 

A material weakness in the Company’s internal controls existed in that there was a limited financial background and lack of appropriate experience and knowledge of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements amongst all of the executive officers and the board of directors.  There also was a lack of oversight and supervision within the Accounting Department.  This material weakness may affect management’s ability to effectively review and analyze elements of the financial statement closing process and prepare financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  In making this assessment, our management used the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). As a result of the material weaknesses described above, our management concluded that as of April 13, 2009, we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.

 

Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


We are in the process of implementing remediation efforts with respect to the material weaknesses noted above as follows:


(i) in May, 2009, we hired an accountant with U.S. GAAP experience to assist us in recording and the valuation of these types of transactions; and to manage our accounting department.

 

We believe the foregoing efforts will enable us to improve our internal control over financial reporting. Management is committed to continuing efforts aimed at improving the design adequacy and operational effectiveness of its system of internal controls. The remediation efforts noted above will be subject to our internal control assessment, testing and evaluation process.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
