Business.VN, Inc. (Formerly WorldTradeShow.com, Inc.)
(A Developmental Stage Company)
Notes To Condensed Financial Statements
January 31, 2008

 

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of Business.VN, Inc. (formerly WorldTradeShow.com, Inc.) ("Business.VN, "BVNI" or the "Company"), as of January 31, 2008, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the nine-month period ended January 31, 2008 and 2007. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. The accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting and with instructions to Form 10-QSB and, accordingly, do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes to the audited financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-KSB registration report for the period ending April 30, 2007 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The accounting policies followed for interim financial reporting are the same as those disclosed in Note 2 of the notes to the financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-KSB registration report for the year ended April 30, 2007.

 

2.  INTANGIBLES, LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND GOODWILL

Dudesmart.com

On June 23, 2000, the Company accepted a proposal to exchanged 1,200,000 shares of common stock for 100% of the outstanding common stock of Dudesmart.com, Inc., from a related entity. At the time of the transaction, the shares were valued at $.22 per share (estimated value $264,000). Dudesmart.com was the entertainment division for the Company specializing in the entertainment and gaming industry. At the date of acquisition Dudesmart.com had no fixed assets and all development fees were expensed as occurred. Therefore the Company recognized this transaction as Goodwill. The Company has changed its direction and has accordingly written the entire amount off during the year ended April 30, 2007.

Business.com.vn Marketing License Agreement

In February 2004, the Company entered into a marketing license agreement with Business.com.vn which is the owner of a website that promotes the online sale of hotel and tour packages on behalf of participating hotels and tour operators. The licensing agreement is currently expired and the company is re-negotiating a new agreement.

VNAT and VITA, Vietnam National Association of the Tourism and Vietnam Travel Association, recognize Hotels.vn as Vietnam's official Hotel Website. In Vietnam, there are over 3,500 hotels and 400 tour companies to be promoted worldwide via the internet to generate online sales throughout the Country of Vietnam.

The term of the marketing license agreement is for two years and requires the Company to pay a licensing fee of $150,000 and $300,000 for the years ending December 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively. The license fees for 2004 and 2005 are payable by August 10, 2004 and February 10, 2005, respectively.

On September 13, 2006 the company issued shares for debt for the balance owed for Business.com.vn. 1,313,901 restricted 144 shares were issued at $0.26 per share.

The Company impaired $155,439 for the year ending April 30, 2007, leaving a net balance of zero. The Company receives 50% commissions from all hotel reservations. BVNI and Hotels.vn are continuing to sign up 1 and 2 star hotels in Vietnam under 3 year contracts.

2.  INTANGIBLES, LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND GOODWILL (continued)

The majority of hotels in the Vietnam are 1 and 2 star hotels, totaling approximately 3,000. Within the 64 provinces of Vietnam there are many hotels that are not 3, 4, or 5 stars, and the majority of these Hotels do not have websites. BVNI and Hotels.vn supply these hotels with template websites so they can accept reservations online through the reservation engine. BVNI projects that it will need additional sales and marketing staff as well as more customer care employees in Vietnam.

Currently, Hotels.vn has contracts with over 250 2-5 star hotels in Vietnam. We have contracted with over 90% of the 3-5 star hotels in Vietnam - the 2 star hotel signing is ongoing. Hotels.vn has been featured on Vietnamese television during a news television program, and has received an award from the Ministry of Trade in Vietnam. The Company will penetrate the market only with more sales and marketing staff once further funding is achieved.

Business.com.vn Asset Purchase

On March 26, 2007 the Company acquired a database of 300,000 Vietnamese companies, marketing software, trademarks and intellectual property. The Company is planning to build a directory of companies from the database. BVNI will offer to companies on the database many different options to market themselves on and offline. BVNI plans to offer domain registration, website development, and online marketing expertise to help the Vietnamese companies market themselves individually and or on the BVNI web portal via advertisements and sponsorships. The directory, once completed will give all the companies on the database online exposure to the world for the very first time. Currently, the vast majority of Vietnamese companies do not have a web presence. The company plans on focusing its business plan inside and outside Vietnam. Upon initial funding, the company plans to open offices in Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi City and hire sales marketing, web designers and customer service agents. The Company issued 4,423,077 restricted shares as well as a convertible note with a face value $100,000 which became due September 28, 2007 (see Note 6). The Company recorded $1,250,000 as intangible asset. As of the date of this report, this convertible note has not been paid or converted and is incurring 8% interest from the due date.

3.  PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

As of January 31, 2008 the Company has a federal net operating loss carry forwards of $8,064,165 that can be utilized to reduce future taxable income. The net operating loss carry forward will expire through 2027 if not utilized. Utilization of the net operating loss and tax credit carry forward may be subject to substantial annual limitations due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards before utilization. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset because of uncertainty regarding realize ability.

 

4.  MAJOR CUSTOMER AND SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company currently operates solely in one industry segment: the marketing and support of its hotel reservations system in Vietnam. No one customer accounted for approximately 5% of gross revenues for the period ending October 31, 2007 and 2006. The Company has no operations or assets located outside of the United States. The Company's commission's revenue is concentrated in the Vietnam Hotel reservations system, creating a risk of concentration associated with the revenue of a single service and limited customer base. The loss of this single market could cause severe damage to the Company's financial future.

6.  MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS

Partnership with DotVN

In May 2003, the Company announced a partnership with Dot.vn, Inc. the official online Vietnamese domain name registration company. The Company is considered a re-seller of domain names, BVNI will receive a commission for each domain name set up via the Companies web portal.

The Company is working closely with Dot.vn to market and distribute these domains on its BVNI business web portal. The revenue from the partnership agreement is anticipated to allow the Company to start receiving commissions. The Company has not received commissions from the DotVN partnership to date.

7.  BASIC AND FULLY DILUTED LOSS PER COMMON SHARE:

Effective November 30, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share ("SFAS 128") which replaced the presentation of "primary" and "fully-diluted" earnings (loss) per common share required under previously promulgated accounting standards with the presentation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings (loss) per common share. Basic earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share is similar to that of basic earnings (loss) per common share, except that the numerator and denominator are adjusted to reflect the decrease in earnings per share or the increase in loss per share that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such as stock options and convertible notes, were exercised or converted into common stock.

8.  AGREEMENTS

On September 11, 2007, Business.vn entered into a Consulting Agreement (the "Agreement") with IR.VN, LLC ("Consultant"), for the provision of investor relation services. The Agreement, with a one year term, provides for compensation of $60,000 cash per year plus 250,000 common shares of the Company's stock, and also grants Consultant an option to purchase an additional 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a purchase price of $0.50 per share for three years.

9.  GOING CONCERN

To date the Company has had limited revenues due to the early stage of its efforts to transition into the marketing of its internet resources. Consequently, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations. These factors, as well as the risks associated with raising capital through the issuance of equity and/or debt securities creates uncertainty as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to increase revenues, issue debt and/or equity securities for cash or as payment for outstanding obligations.

The Company's operating results have fluctuated in the past and may in the future fluctuate significantly, depending upon a variety of factors, including the timely deployment and expansion of new network, the incurrence of related capital costs, variability and length of the sales cycle associated with the Company's product and service offerings, the receipt of new value-added network services and consumer services subscriptions and the introduction of new services by BVNI and its competitors.

Additional factors that may contribute to variability of operating results include but are not limited to: the pricing and mix of services offered by the Company; customer retention rate; market acceptance of new and enhanced versions of the Company's services; changes in pricing policies by the Company's competitors; the Company's ability to obtain sufficient supplies of sole or limited-source components; user demand for services; the ability to manage potential growth and expansion; the ability to identify, acquire and integrate successfully suitable acquisition candidates; and charges related to acquisitions. In response to competitive pressures, the Company may take certain pricing or marketing actions that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. In the event that the Company's operating results in any future period fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, the trading price of the Company's common stock would likely decline.

PLAN OF OPERATION

We have a development strategy for the implementation of the business plan, which will require $2,200,000 to complete. We have historically financed our operations through working capital provided by loans from management and controlling shareholder, Hi-Tek. For the time being the Company anticipates that current operations will continue to be funded by shareholder loans or debt from majority shareholder, Hi-Tek, until revenue from operations can sustain the cash flow requirements of the Company. For 2007 we have a commitment from our majority shareholders to fund our operations for that calendar year. Additionally, we may pursue additional private placement financing through close associates or friends and family members of management and our controlling shareholders. There can be no assurances that additional capital will be available on terms favorable to us or at all, or that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flow in order to sustain operations. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of additional equity or debt securities, the issuance of such securities could result in additional dilution to our stockholders. In the event that we experience the need for additional capital, and are not able to generate capital from financing sources or from future operations, management may be required to modify, suspend or discontinue our operations and business plan.

Funds projected by management are to be used as follows: online and offline marketing programs, marketing Hotels.vn, building an e-commerce business directory and hire further sales and marketing staff and offices in Vietnam. The Company plans to obtain the necessary joint ventures, licenses, alliances and affiliates to market the web portal. BVNI plans to hire sales and marketing staff in Vietnam to complete agreements already in place. The Company also plans on hiring people, obtaining more agreements and alliances in and outside Vietnam.

BVNI and Hotels.vn are continuing to sign up 1 and 2 star hotels in Vietnam. The majority of hotels in the Vietnam are 1 and 2 star hotels, totaling approximately 3,000. Within the 64 provinces of Vietnam there are many hotels that are not 3, 4, or 5 stars, and the majority of these Hotels do not have websites. BVNI and Hotels.vn supply these hotels with template websites so they can accept reservations online through the reservation engine. BVNI projects that it will need additional sales and marketing staff as well as more customer care employees in Vietnam.

Currently, the Company has over 250 hotels listed on Hotels.vn, including over 90% of the 3-5 star hotels in Vietnam. The 2 star hotel signing is ongoing. Hotels.vn has been featured on Vietnamese television during a news television program, and has received an award from the Ministry of Trade in Vietnam. Hotels.vn was awarded the number one e-commerce travel tourism website and was ranked 13th overall in the Country of Vietnam in 2005. We expect to penetrate the hotel market with further funding for marketing in and out of Vietnam.

BVNI has begun redesigning the new Business.vn website and launched its new corporate website on Oct 31, 2007. The company has begun to evaluate the 300,000 Vietnamese business database and has started a new business plan. The Company is receiving two to three software quotations to build out the search engine business directory. A final decision will be made at the end of the next quarter. BVNI will continue to market Hotels.vn. Our target alliances and affiliates will be companies working in travel tourism in Asia and Latin America, including American and European travel and tourism Companies. Users are now able to make reservations for hotels via www.Hotels.vn.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS RELATED TO AN INVESTMENT IN BUSINESS.VN, INC. STOCK

Some of the statements in this report or incorporated by reference are forward-looking, including, without limitation, the statements under the caption "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation". Forward-looking statements include those that contain words like "may," "will," "could," "should," "project," "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "plan," "estimate," "forecast," "potential," "intend," "maintain," "continue" and variations of these words or comparable words. In addition, all of the non-historical information herein is forward-looking, including any statement or implication about a future time, result or other circumstance. Forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ substantially from the results that the forward-looking statements suggest for various reasons. These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this report. We do not undertake to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new Information, future events or otherwise. (Note: The statutory safe harbors of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act will not be available to us until such time as we become a reporting company)

The forward-looking statements included herein are based on, among other items, assumptions that we will be able to meet our operating cash and any debt service requirements, that we will be able to successfully resolve disputes and other business matters as anticipated, that competitive and technological conditions within the medical device and electronic component industries will not affect us materially or adversely, that we will retain key personnel, that our forecasts will reasonably anticipate market demand for our products, and that there will be no significant unanticipated cost increases or other material adverse change in our operations or business. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following:

·

the impact of competitive products and their pricing;

·

potential effects of inflation;

·

lack of earnings visibility;

·

dependence upon certain customers or markets;

·

dependence upon suppliers;

·

difficulties in integrating any acquired businesses and realizing cost savings or productivity gains;

·

dependence on key personnel;

·

difficulties regarding hiring and retaining qualified personnel in a competitive labor market; and

·

Risks of doing business in international markets.

Other factors that could cause results to vary materially from current expectations are referred to elsewhere in this report.

- 14 -

Assumptions regarding the foregoing involve judgments that are difficult to make and future circumstances that are difficult to accurately predict. Forecasting and other management decisions are subjective in many respects and thus susceptible to interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments, the impact of which may cause us to alter our internal forecasts, and which may in turn affect expectations or future results. We do not undertake to publicly announce the changes that may occur in our expectations. Readers are cautioned against giving undue weight to any of the forward-looking statements. The inclusion of forward-looking information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives or plans will be achieved. We are setting out some of the more specific risk factors below in full for the convenience of the readers:

The market price of our stock has fluctuated pursuant to the acquisition and our preparations for developing and marketing our products, and can be affected by economic and political uncertainties. Declines in the market price of our stock could adversely affect our ability to retain personnel with higher-priced stock incentives, to acquire businesses or assets in exchange for stock and/or to conduct future financing activities with the sale of stock.

WE NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO ACHIEVE OUR GOALS, BUT WE DO NOT HAVE ANY COMMITMENTS TO OBTAIN SUCH CAPITAL AND CAN NOT GIVE ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO OBTAIN CAPITAL AS AND WHEN REQUIRED.

FUTURE REVENUE GROWTH DEPENDS ON OUR ABILITY TO IMPROVE THE EFFECTIVENESS AND BREADTH OF OUR SALES ORGANIZATION.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PROTECT OUR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS AND MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT COSTS ATTEMPTING TO DO SO. Our success and ability to compete are dependent to a significant degree on our proprietary technology. We rely on a combination of copyright, trade secret and trademark

THE MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK IS LIMITED. Our common stock is thinly-traded and any recently reported sales price may not be a true market-based valuation of our common stock. There can be no assurance that an active market for our common stock will develop. In addition, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to operating performance.

OUR COMMON STOCK IS CONSIDERED A "PENNY STOCK" AND, AS SUCH, THE MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK MAY BE FURTHER LIMITED BY CERTAIN SEC RULES. As long as the price of our common stock remains below $5.00 per share, the stock is likely to be subject to certain "penny stock" rules promulgated by the SEC. Those rules impose certain sales practice requirements on brokers who sell penny stock to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000). For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, the broker must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. Furthermore, the penny stock rules generally require, among other things, that brokers engaged in secondary trading of penny stocks provide customers with written disclosure documents, monthly statements of the market value of penny stocks, disclosure of the bid and ask prices, disclosure of the compensation to the brokerage firm, and disclosure of the sales person working for the brokerage firm. These rules and regulations adversely affect the ability of brokers to sell our common stock and limit the liquidity of our securities.

THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK IS VOLATILE AND COULD DECLINE SUBSTANTIALLY. The trading price of our common stock is volatile and is likely to continue to be volatile. Our stock price could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of issues, including broad market factors that may have a material adverse impact on our stock price, regardless of our actual performance. The factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

·

Periodic variations in the actual or anticipated financial results of our business or that of our competitors;

 

·

Downward revisions in estimates of our future operating results or of the future operating results of our competitors;

 

·

Material announcements by us or our competitors;

 

·

Adverse changes in general market conditions or economic trends or in conditions or trends in the market in which we operate.

- 15 -

WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO ISSUE ADDITIONAL EQUITY SECURITIES, WHICH WOULD LEAD TO DILUTION OF OUR ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK. The issuance of additional equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities would result in dilution of our existing stockholders' equity interests in us. Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue, without vote or action of stockholders, preferred stock in one or more series, and has the ability to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of any such series. Any such series of preferred stock could contain dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices, liquidation preferences or other rights superior to the rights of holders of our common stock. If we issue convertible preferred stock, a subsequent conversion may dilute the current common stockholders' interest. In addition, as of January 31, 2006, we were authorized to issue, without stockholder approval, up to 16,751,136 shares of common stock. Of that amount, 140,398 shares of our common stock were issuable upon the exercise of vested options.

WE DO NOT INTEND TO PAY CASH DIVIDENDS. AS A RESULT, STOCKHOLDERS WILL BENEFIT FROM AN INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK ONLY IF IT APPRECIATES IN VALUE. We have never paid a cash dividend on our common stock, and we do not plan to pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance our operations and further expansion and growth of our business, including acquisitions. As a result, the success of an investment in our common stock will depend upon any future appreciation in its value. We cannot guarantee that our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which stockholders have purchased their shares.

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that as of January 31, 2008 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them to the material information relating to the Company required to be included in the Company's periodic filings with the SEC, subject to the various limitations on effectiveness set forth below under the heading, "LIMITATIONS ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INTERNAL CONTROLS," such that the information relating to the Company, required to be disclosed in SEC reports (i)is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls over financial reporting

Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

(c) Limitations on Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, and/or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
