ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto.
Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements and information relating to us that are based on the beliefs of our management as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. When used in this report, the words "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "estimate," “intend”, “plan” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management's current view of us concerning future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including among many others: a general economic downturn; a downturn in the securities markets; federal or state laws or regulations having an adverse effect on proposed transactions that we desire to effect; Securities and Exchange Commission regulations which affect trading in the securities of "penny stocks,"; and other risks and uncertainties. Should any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in this report as anticipated, estimated or expected. The accompanying information contained in this report on Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, the information set forth under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation" identifies important additional factors that could materially adversely affect actual results and performance. You are urged to carefully consider these factors. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statement.
Overview and Plan of Operation
A brief history and recent developments
Gateway Certifications, Inc. (“Gateway” or the “Company”) was incorporated on August 30, 2006 and became a reporting public company in July 2007. We are headquartered in New York City. Our principal executive offices are located at 250 West 57th Street, Suite 917, New York, NY 10107, and our telephone number is (212) 586-6103. Our website address is www.gcertifications.com.
In company with federal agencies and private organizations, Gateway recognizes the historical lack of access that women, minorities and other qualifying individuals have had to the resources needed to develop their small businesses.
How we generate revenue
The Company was formed to provide certification services to women-owned, minority-owned and other qualified businesses (collectively referred to as “Minority Businesses”) that seek Minority Business Enterprises certification (MBE), Women’s Business Enterprise certification (WBE), Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) certification, 8(a) and or SDB designation and various State, City and private sector certifications (collectively referred to as “Certifications Programs”).
Once successfully certified in one or more Certification Programs, the Company then assists Minority Businesses to leverage and utilize their certification status to procure and secure business relationships and available opportunities for the delivery or provision of their goods and/or services to public and private corporations, federal, state and local agencies. We connect Minority Businesses with opportunities based on their business, capacity, expertise and strategic goals.
Although federal, state, city and local government agencies and public and private corporations do not and can not guarantee any specific amount of business a certified Minority Business, once certified, Minority Businesses achieve preferential access to bid for contracts for goods or services that are related to their respective business concerns.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2007
Our certification and supplier diversity consulting income during the three months ended March 31, 2008 resulted in revenues of $1,000 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007 where we had $2,000 in revenues. This was a decrease of $1,000, or 50%. The decrease in certification and supplier diversity consulting income was due to the fact that we were not successful in converting our pipeline of certification and supplier diversity consulting into contracts for the period.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $10,332. This was an increase of $8,436, or 445%, as compared to general and administrative expenses of $1,896 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we incurred significant professional services fees in the amount of $4,500, filing fees, dues and subscription costs of $444,
advertising and promotional expenses of $820, computer and internet expenses of $322, rent expenses of $3,580, office expenses of $152, telephone expenses of $331, depreciation expenses of $96, and other miscellaneous operating expenses amounting to $87.
Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $96. This is an increase of $0, or 0%, as compared to depreciation expense of $96 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
We had net loss of $9,632 (or basic and diluted loss per share of $0.0012) for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to net income of $68 (or basic and diluted loss per share of $0.0000) for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in net loss was primarily due to the increase in general and administrative expenses, discussed above, that arose from an increase in operating activities and expenses associated with our registration statement filed on Form SB-2.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had total assets of $14,428 as of March 31, 2008. This consisted of total current assets of $12,941, a decrease of $5,078, or 29%, as compared to current assets of $18,019 for the year ended December 31, 2007. Other assets as of March 31, 2008 included property and equipment of $1,287 net of $608 of accumulated depreciation. Based on the amount of cash on our balance sheet and our anticipated revenues, we believe that we have sufficient funds to operate beyond the next quarter without further financing.
We had working capital of $5,785 as of March 31, 2008.
We had total liabilities of $8,443 as of March 31, 2008, which consisted solely of current liabilities. This was an increase of $4,458, or 112%, as compared to total liabilities of $3,985 for the period ended December 31, 2007.
We had an accumulated deficit of $44,065 as of March 31, 2008. This was an increase of $9,632, or 28%, as compared to an accumulated deficit of $34,433 for the period ended December 31, 2007.
We had net cash used in operating activities of $5,078 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, which consisted of net loss of $9,632, depreciation of $96, unearned revenue of $2,000, franchise taxes payable of $450, rent payable of $1,193, commission payable of $300, and professional fees payable of $1,415. The net cash used in operating activities of $5,078 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 represented an increase of $3,113, or 160%, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1,965 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
We had $0 in net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as compared to $36,700 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, which consisted solely of proceeds from sale of common stock.
We have no specific commitments for any future capital expenditures. However, we will continue to incur normal operating expenses and routine fees and expenses incident to our reporting duties as a public company. Our cash requirements for the next twelve months are relatively modest, principally rent and other office expense and accounting expenses and other expenses relating to making filings required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").
We will only be able to pay our future debts and meet operating expenses by conducting profitable operations or otherwise generating positive cash flow. As a practical matter, we are unlikely to generate positive cash flow by any means other than successful and profitable operations. Management and the shareholders are not obligated to provide any further funding. Any of our shareholders and management members who advance money to us to cover operating expenses will expect to be reimbursed. We have no intention of borrowing money to reimburse or pay salaries to any of our officers, directors or shareholders or their affiliates. Other than as presented in our registration statement on Form SB-2, there currently are no plans to sell additional securities to raise capital, although sales of securities may be necessary to obtain needed funds.
Should the Company lack available funding, severe consequences could occur, including among others:
·
failure to make timely filings with the SEC as required by the Exchange Act, which also probably would result in suspension of trading or quotation in our stock and could result in fines and penalties to us under the Exchange Act;
·
curtailing or eliminating our ability to continue operations; or
·
inability to pay legal and accounting fees and other operating expenses.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is subject to certain market risks, including changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. The Company does not undertake any specific actions to limit those exposures.
ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”), has concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and (ii) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.
During the course of their review of our financial statements, our auditors identified material adjustments relating to commissions payable and rent expenses that related to but that were not adequately accrued for at the end of the current period that were later paid for in the subsequent period. The consolidated financial statements in this 10-Q filing have been adjusted to include these changes. Management has had discussions with its auditors in an effort to remediate these adjustments and is working on plans to properly accrue for commission’s payable and rent expenses for the period they relate. We believe these plans when finalized will enable us to avoid these types of adjustments in the future and will continue our efforts to improve our control processes and procedures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting for that period.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no legal proceedings which are pending or have been threatened against us or any of our officers, directors or control persons of which management is aware.
ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide information required by this Item.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Except as may have previously been disclosed on our registration statement on Form SB-2, a current report on Form 8-K or a quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not sold any of our securities in a private placement transaction or otherwise during the past three years.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
