Forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements relating to our plans, strategies, objectives, expectations and intentions and are intended to be made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “believes,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “possible,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” and “plans” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict projected results or the effect of events on our operating results is inherently uncertain. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by which, such performance or results will be achieved. Important factors that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by, forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i) our ability to identify and attract a suitable partner to consummate a business combination transaction, (ii) our ability to reach a settlement with the California Board of Equalization and  (iii) our ability to successfully defend and/or settle outstanding legal proceedings.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If we update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect thereto or with respect to other forward-looking statements.

PART I

Item 1.

Business

Our Company

The Company has operated in recent years as a direct marketer and value-added reseller of IT products and services. Our customers have historically included businesses, consumers, educational institutions and local, state and federal governments in the United States. Our customers placed orders through our web sites, PCUniverse.com and PatriotPC.us, by calling a representative , through electronic communications such as e-mail, by fax, or through our revenue sharing arrangements such as our merchant web site on Amazon.com. Our products and services have been marketed primarily through Internet marketing activities, a direct sales force, direct mail, e-mail marketing and our company web sites. On April 30, 2009, we sold substantially all of the assets comprising the web business to eMedia Management LLC.

History of the Business

We were formed as a Florida corporation in November 1995. Initially, we generated revenue through direct marketing activities such as print ads in national computer hardware publications and limited distribution of catalogs. In 1996, we launched our first web site, PCUniverse.com. In 2003, we launched PatriotPC.us. PatriotPC.us is an e-commerce site similar to PCUniverse.com in product content, but customized to service active and retired military personnel, their spouses and dependents. PatriotPC customers receive special discounts and offers and have the option of paying with their military issued “Star” card. A “Star” card is a private label credit card issued by the Army Air Force Exchange Service (“AAFES”) exclusively to military personnel and qualified recipients. From 2004 to present, we have focused our efforts on improving our e-commerce platform, improving overall operational efficiencies, expanding our product and service offerings, and recruiting personnel. In June 2006, we completed a merger (the “Share Exchange”) of PC Universe, Inc., a privately held operating Florida corporation, with The Poker TV Network, Inc. (“Poker TV”), a shell corporation incorporated in Nevada with no assets, liabilities or material operations. Poker TV (formerly known as Coyote Sports, Inc. and then known as Techsecure Partners, Inc.) was formed in Nevada on October 24, 1994. A bankruptcy action In Re: Coyote Sports, Inc., Case No. 99-22185, was filed by the corporation in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado on September 28, 1999. A Certificate of Amendment was filed with the State of Nevada on May 26, 2005 providing for a name change from Coyote Sports, Inc. to Techsecure Partners, Inc. On July 29, 2005, Techsecure Partners, Inc., filed Articles of Merger with another Nevada entity, The Poker TV Network, Inc. with the surviving entity known as The Poker TV Network, Inc. The bankruptcy action was discharged on April 3, 2006. Prior to the Share Exchange, management of Poker TV had planned to create a broadband, Internet based TV network dedicated to providing information, news, trends, updates, non-fiction entertainment, and educational programming related to the game of poker. Poker TV’s planned operations related to poker gaming were never effectuated.

In connection with the Share Exchange, each issued and outstanding share of the operating company, PC Universe, was converted into 449,390 fully paid and non-assessable shares of the surviving corporation, Poker TV. The Share Exchange was intended to constitute a tax exempt plan of reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In conjunction with the Share Exchange, Poker TV changed its name to PC Universe, Inc.

We entered into the Share Exchange to enhance our capital raising efforts and access to private equity markets and so that investors in our Company could have additional assurance of a market and potential liquidity in the Common Stock of the Company at some future date as the Common Stock of the Company is quoted on the Pink Sheets interdealer electronic quotation service. The merger transaction was arrived at pursuant to normal competitive negotiation and the parties acted independently of each other. The parties had no relationship to each other nor interlocking board members, officers or other conflicts of interest.

Since the consummation of the Share Exchange, we have raised $2.9 million in a private placements of our Common Stock to accredited investors.



3



On December 19, 2008, we entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with eMedia Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“eMedia” or the “Buyer”), whereby eMedia agreed to purchase and the Company agreed to sell substantially all of its assets (the “Assets”) comprising the web business of the Company (the “Asset Sale”). The Company’s web business includes the Company’s customized web stores for customers through Internet portals at www.pcuniverse.com and www.patriotpc.us.

Loss of Significant Customers

The Company has a history of net losses during the past three years. In addition, we reported for the year ended December 31, 2007 that we had lost two of our significant customers during the quarter ended December 31, 2007, specifically, Océ North America, Inc. and Eclypsis Corporation. Because we were unable to replace these customers, our financial results were negatively impacted.

Termination of the Financing Agreement with IBM

The Company was party to a secured line of credit of up to $4,000,000 with IBM Credit, LLC (“IBM”), which was collateralized by accounts receivable and inventory, which could be utilized as both a working capital line of credit and a flooring facility used to purchase inventory from several suppliers under certain terms and conditions. The agreement for Wholesale Financing-Flexible Payment Plan which was executed on November 1, 2007 (the “Financing Agreement”) had an annual automatic renewal which was to occur on November 1 of each fiscal year. The facility contained various restrictive covenants relating to tangible net worth, leverage, dispositions and use of collateral, other asset dispositions and merger and consolidation of the Company. At December 31, 2007, the Company was not compliant with all financial covenants contained in the Financing Agreement. At December 31, 2007, there were no amounts owed for working capital advances and $2.1 million was owed under the facility for flooring arrangements related to inventory purchases. At December 31, 2007, the total amount available for future borrowing was $543,000 at an interest rate in effect at that time of 7.25%. On March 20, 2008, the Company received a notice of default from IBM notifying us that we were out of compliance with one or more financial performance covenants and that we were in default under the Financing Agreement.

The Financing Agreement with IBM was terminated as of October 15, 2008. As of November 7, 2008, we owed IBM $578,028 in aggregate principal and interest under the Financing Agreement. Because we were unable to obtain debt or equity financing on acceptable terms we evaluated all of our options, and we took steps to downsize the business and aggressively reduced our overhead costs to compensate for the Company’s insufficient liquidity. The Company has experienced significant liquidity issues since the reduction of our line of credit and termination of our Financing Agreement with IBM due to, among other reasons, our inability to identify a replacement lender and our inability to raise adequate capital on acceptable terms. Moreover, as a result of our liquidity issues, we experienced delays in the repayment of the amounts outstanding due to IBM and the payment of trade payables to vendors and others when due. We have historically relied upon the line of credit under the Financing Agreement and a previous credit facility to fund our operations. Because of the termination of the Financing Agreement, we were required to implement significant expense reducing measures which included the termination of a number of our full-time employees during the fourth quarter of 2008. In addition, number of our full-time employees voluntarily resigned their positions during the fourth quarter, including four sales representatives and two members of management.

Evaluation of Restructuring Options

In light of these recent developments in the Company, we were required to reevaluate our options under the assumption that we would not be able to sustain our business in the ordinary course. Prior to execution of the Purchase Agreement with eMedia Management, LLC, we considered and explored several options including a merger opportunity, selling all or some portion of our assets, seeking protection under the federal bankruptcy laws, and ceasing some or all of our operations. The members of management who participated in strategic discussions were the Company’s two co-chief executive officers, Mr. Thomas M. Livia and Mr. Gary Stern.

The Company’s management and the independent committee of the Board weighed the following factors in their analysis of the restructuring options: (i) the ability to repay the creditors of the Company, including IBM, in an orderly and timely manner; (ii) the ability of the restructuring option to provide cash liquidity at a low cost, while conserving the Company’s remaining business operations; (iii) preservation of stockholder value; and (iv) the ability to retain some goodwill in the Company, the integrity of the accounts and retention of value of the PC Universe, Inc. brand.



4



From April 2008 through November 2008, the Company consulted with two financial advisory firms each of which provided strategic financing and merger & acquisition advisory services, including Allen, Goddard, McGowan, Pak & Partners, LLC and the Noble Financial Group.

The Company solicited a number of companies in the technology reseller industry, including Staples and PC Connection, regarding the Company’s interest in a partnership. The Company’s expression of interest in Staples and PC Connection did not lead to substantive discussions.

On October 7, 2008, the Company and Beacon Enterprise Solutions Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Beacon”), entered into a non-binding letter of intent (“Letter of Intent”) whereby Beacon proposed to purchase the assets of and assume certain liabilities of the Company’s business. The proposed transaction was subject to negotiation of definitive agreements, due diligence, and necessary corporate and regulatory approvals, as well as certain other closing conditions. Under the terms of the Letter of Intent, the purchase price for the Company’s assets and liabilities were expected to be paid by Beacon’s issuance of up to 3,160,000 shares of its common stock.  The Company disclosed the Letter of Intent in an Item 8.01 Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 9, 2008.

The proposed transaction with Beacon was conditioned upon the Company receiving cash financing which would enable it to discharge all or a portion of its obligations to IBM. The Company did not receive the financing following discussions with a number of banks and factoring finance companies. When it became apparent that the Company would not be able to meet the financing requirement by repaying IBM, the Company provided written notice to Beacon on November 18, 2008 terminating the Letter of Intent.

Additionally, during the second and third fiscal quarters of 2008, the Company entered into preliminary discussions to be acquired by another public company in the homeland security industry and a private company in the computer technology reseller industry.  These discussions did not lead to term sheets or definitive agreements between the parties.

During the third quarter of 2008, the Company had preliminary discussions with a Florida bank concerning a factoring arrangement intended to replace the IBM credit facility.  The costs of borrowing and the required personal guarantees from the executive officers under the proposed factoring arrangement were determined to be unacceptable to the Company.  Additionally, the factoring facility would not have provided sufficient liquidity to repay the Company’s existing creditors.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company considered the possibility of a corporate liquidation or reorganization bankruptcy filing as an alternative to the Asset Sale.  The Company determined that the potential costs and expenses of a bankruptcy would significantly reduce the size of the assets available for potential distribution to the Company’s creditors and shareholders. A Chapter 11 reorganization was not a viable alternative because without the necessary credit facility to replace IBM to fund inventory purchases, the Company would not be able to sustain operations following a reorganization.  Management of the Company and an independent committee of the Board believed the Asset Sale provided the Company with enough immediate liquidity to pursue its credit facility workout and settlement with IBM, satisfy additional obligations to vendors and preserve some shareholder value.

Independent Committee Analysis

The Asset Sale transaction was considered by an independent committee of the Board and determined to be fair and in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders. The members of the independent committee include Randall N. Paulfus, Bruce Martin, Victor Grillo and Dean J. Rosenbach. The members of the independent committee were selected based upon the members’ status as non-employee and non-affiliate members of the Board. The Company did not retain the services of an independent evaluation firm to evaluate the fairness of the Asset Sale to our stockholders.

The Company began discussions with eMedia following the termination of its Letter of Intent with Beacon.  At the time, the Company was unable to procure alternative financing on reasonable terms as a replacement to the IBM credit facility, and at that time, the Company’s only two alternatives were bankruptcy and the proposed transaction with eMedia.

The independent committee determined that because the Company would be able to discharge all of its obligations to its financing lender IBM through the consummation of the Purchase Agreement with eMedia, the Company could discharge the majority of its debt obligations and improve the Company’s overall balance sheet.  The independent committee determined that the Asset Sale was a preferable alternative to bankruptcy as the potential costs and expenses of a bankruptcy would significantly reduce the size of the assets available for distribution to the Company’s creditors and stockholders without providing any liquidity for repayment of creditors.

Following consummation of the Asset Sale, the Company will have nominal operations and limited assets which will consist of accounts receivable and minimal cash. Following the Asset Sale, management of the Company anticipates that it will seek an operating company candidate for potential merger or share exchange or other reorganization of the Company.

The consulting agreements between eMedia and Messrs. Livia and Stern were determined by the independent committee to be fair to the Company.  The consulting agreements represent temporary transitional arrangements with eMedia to ensure that eMedia management is properly trained in the management of existing customer accounts and to preserve some value in the PC Universe, Inc. brand.  The independent committee believes that, at least until the Company identifies an appropriate business combination partner, the co-chief executive officers will be able to adequately fulfill their existing obligations to both the Company and to eMedia under the consulting agreements.

Employees

As of December 31, 2008, we employed 2 part-time employees located at in home offices in Boca Raton, Florida offices. Our employee workforce is currently comprised of 2 General and Administrative employees. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We believe that we have a good relationship with our employees.

Available Information

Properties

We currently lease office space and a warehouse facility located at 504 NW 77th Street, Boca Raton, FL 33487 of approximately 11,600 sq. ft. for a term expiring October 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2008, the lease agreement provides that we may lease the facility for an additional 34 months, with no renewal options, at a monthly rate of $12,521. We believe the existing facilities are in good or excellent condition.  In April 2009, the landlord initiated legal proceedings against the Company for approximately $183,000. See the section entitled “Legal Proceedings.”

Item 3.

Legal Proceedings

During August, 2007, we filed an action against three of our former employees and a Florida corporation established by such employees in the Circuit Court of the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida for certain claims including breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, misappropriation, tortious interference with business relationships, civil conspiracy and violations of the Florida Uniform Trade Secrets Act

and also requested a permanent injunction enjoining the employees from their continued alleged wrongful conduct. We asserted in the complaint that certain former employees conspired to resign from the Company and then began to directly compete with us in the same territories and for the same customers by incorporating, selling products and recruiting employees for a direct competitor of ours. On September 6, 2007, the defendants filed a counterclaim against us alleging that we breached the employment contracts of two of the defendants and tortiously interferred with certain of the defendants business relationships. We intend to vigorously defend against the counterclaims. Management is unable to determine the outcome of the lawsuit at this time, or estimate the probability of prevailing in connection with the request for an injunction or on the merits of these claims.

During January 2008, we were notified by California’s Board of Equalization of the board’s intent to audit our business operations relating to sales of our products in California back to January 1, 2005.  The State of California taxing authorities completed their audit and have sent a Notice of Determination that the Company owes the California Board of Equalization $654,128 as of April 23, 2009.  As of December 31, 2008 we have accrued as General and Administrative expenses, $654,128 in back sales tax, interest and penalty the Board has levied against the Company.  The Company still has the appeal process open to appeal the audit findings.

During February 2009, we were notified by US Bank Corp of legal actions against us for certain non-payment of capital leases.  US Bank Corp has initiated legal proceedings against the Company in the State of Minnesota District Court County of Lyon Fifth Judicial Districe for amounts plus interest of approximately $68,000.

During April 2009, our landlord, Boca Industrial Park, Ltd., initiated legal proceedings against the Company in The Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida, for non-payment of past due and future rent under the Company’s lease agreement totaling approximately $183,000.

The Company has operated in recent years as a direct marketer and value-added reseller of IT products and services. Our customers have historically included businesses, consumers, educational institutions and local, state and federal governments in the United States. Our customers placed orders through our web sites, PCUniverse.com and PatriotPC.us, by calling a representative via our toll-free 800-PCUniverse number, through electronic communications such as e-mail, by fax, or through our revenue sharing arrangements such as our merchant web site on Amazon.com. Our products and services have been marketed primarily through Internet marketing activities, a direct sales force, direct mail, e-mail marketing and our company web sites.

The Company was party to a secured line of credit of up to $4,000,000 with IBM Credit, LLC (“IBM”), which was collateralized by accounts receivable and inventory, which could be utilized as both a working capital line of credit and a flooring facility used to purchase inventory from several suppliers under certain terms and conditions. The agreement for Wholesale Financing-Flexible Payment Plan which was executed on November 1, 2007 (the “Financing Agreement”) had an annual automatic renewal which was to occur on November 1 of each fiscal year. The facility contained various restrictive covenants relating to tangible net worth, leverage, dispositions and use of collateral, other asset dispositions and merger and consolidation of the Company. At December 31, 2007, the Company was not compliant with all financial covenants contained in the Financing Agreement. At



10



December 31, 2007, there were no amounts owed for working capital advances and $2.1 million was owed under the facility for flooring arrangements related to inventory purchases. At December 31, 2007, the total amount available for future borrowing was $543,000 at an interest rate in effect at that time of 7.25%. On March 20, 2008, the Company received a notice of default from IBM notifying us that we were out of compliance with one or more financial performance covenants and that we were in default under the Financing Agreement.

The Financing Agreement with IBM was terminated as of October 15, 2008. As of November 7, 2008, we owed IBM $578,028 in aggregate principal and interest under the Financing Agreement, this balance was paid off as of December 31, 2008. Because we were unable to obtain debt or equity financing on acceptable terms we evaluated all of our options, and we took steps to downsize the business and aggressively reduced our overhead costs to compensate for the Company’s insufficient liquidity. The Company has experienced significant liquidity issues since the reduction of our line of credit and termination of our Financing Agreement with IBM due to, among other reasons, our inability to identify a replacement lender and our inability to raise adequate capital on acceptable terms. Moreover, as a result of our liquidity issues, we experienced delays in the repayment of the amounts outstanding due to IBM and the payment of trade payables to vendors and others when due. We have historically relied upon the line of credit under the Financing Agreement and a previous credit facility to fund our operations. Because of the termination of the Financing Agreement, we were required to implement significant expense reducing measures which included the termination of a number of our full-time employees during the fourth quarter of 2008. In addition, a number of our full-time employees voluntarily resigned their positions during the fourth quarter, including four sales representatives and two members of management.

On December 19, 2008, we entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with eMedia Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“eMedia” or the “Buyer”), whereby eMedia agreed to purchase and the Company agreed to sell substantially all of its assets (the “Assets”) comprising the web business of the Company (the “Asset Sale”). The Company’s web business includes the Company’s customized web stores for customers through Internet portals at www.pcuniverse.com and www.patriotpc.us.

During January 2008, we were notified by California’s Board of Equalization of its intent to audit our business back to January 1, 2005 stating that we have an obligation to collect sales tax on sales of our products to California customers which we have not done in the past.  At this time, we are not certain of the impact that the sales tax audit and potential related fines and penalties will have on our business. We have accrued approximately $654,000 in relation to the California sales tax audit.

While we currently operate as a going concern, certain significant factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue to operate as a going concern. We have incurred significant losses since inception.  These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue to operate as a going concern.

Management’s Plans to Address Operating Conditions

We have concluded, on April 30, 2009, the Asset Sale to eMedia reported in our Schedule 14C.    On December 19, 2008, we entered into an asset Purchase Agreement with eMedia, whereby eMedia agreed to purchase and the Company agreed to sell substantially all of its assets comprising the web business of the Company. The Company’s web business includes the Company’s customized web stores for customers through Internet portals at www.pcuniverse.com and www.patriotpc.us.  

Our current operations only include the winding down of business activities and contracts, and sale of remaining assets of the Company.  Following completion of the Asset Sale, the Company may be considered a “shell company” as that term is defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Excahnge Act of 1934, as amended, (i.e., a company which has (i) no or nominal operations, and (ii) either (x) no or nominal assets; (y) assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents, or (z) assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets).

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our  financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and requires management to make use of certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We base our



11



estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and revisions to estimates are included in the results from the period in which the actual amounts become known.

We believe that following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in our preparation of our financial statements, and therefore should be read in conjunction with our summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 2 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Our critical accounting policies are as follows:

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue on product sales when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, prices are fixed and determinable, and ability to collect is probable. We consider the point of delivery of the product to be when the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer.

The majority of our net sales relate to physical products. These sales are recognized on a gross basis with the selling price to the customer recorded as net sale and the acquisition cost of the product recorded as cost of sales. We offer limited return rights on our product sales. At the point of sale, we provide for an allowance for revenue. Pursuant to EITF 99-19 “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent,” when we set prices, have inventory risk and have credit risk, revenues are recorded as gross. Third-party extended warranties, third-party software maintenance products and third-party services sold by us (for which we are not the primary obligor) are recognized gross in revenues and cost of sales when we set prices and have inventory risk and credit risk. If any of those criteria are not present, revenue and cost of sales are recorded net. When the sale is recorded, we have no further obligations to fulfill. We recognize revenue only when all criteria of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (“SAB 104”), “Revenue Recognition” have been met.

We defer revenue for the TechPoints program, a customer loyalty program. TechPoints must be redeemed to be converted to an award of a particular product on our web sites. TechPoints cannot be redeemed for cash but may be used as a discount off a customer’s future purchase. Currently, TechPoints expire one year after issuance, but the expiration period is subject to change. We use EITF 00-22, “Accounting for “Points” and Certain Other Time-Based or Volume-Based Sales Incentive Offers, and Offers for Free Products or Services to be Delivered in the Future.” At December 31, 2008, the Company had no deferred revenue for TechPoints.   At December 31, 2007, we included $35,138 in deferred revenue.

Additionally, we offer limited return rights within 30 days on our product sales. We have demonstrated the ability to make reasonable and reliable estimates of product returns based on significant historical experience. If actual credits were to deviate significantly from our estimates, our results of operations could be adversely affected. We had no allowances for sales returns, net of cost at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Valuation of Current Assets, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Estimation of Market Inventory Obsolescence

We use significant judgment and estimates in the preparation of our financial statements that affect the carrying value of our assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates.

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based on estimates of future collect-ability of our accounts receivable. We regularly analyze our accounts receivable in evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In determining the necessary allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, we analyze our historical bad debt experience, the creditworthiness of our customers and the aging of our accounts receivable. The amounts of accounts receivable that ultimately become uncollectible could vary materially from our estimates.

We maintain a valuation allowance for potentially uncollectible amounts due from our vendors that arise from product returns, standard vendor price protection programs, cooperative advertisement reimbursements and vendor rebate programs. Amounts received from vendors may vary from amounts recorded based on the difference between the current market price of a product returned and its acquisition price, the denial of price protection, cooperative reimbursement, or vendor rebates due to noncompliance with specific attributes of the vendor programs. We regularly review our vendor receivables and provide a valuation allowance based on historical collections and the comparison of amounts recorded versus subsequently received.



12



We record inventory at lower of FIFO cost or market. We estimate the amount of unmarketable inventory based on the difference between the cost of the inventory and the market value, which is based on assumptions of market demand, current market conditions, most recent actual sales prices, and age and condition of products.

Impairment of Fixed Assets

We review our long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and intangibles, for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be fully recoverable. If our analysis indicates that a possible impairment exists, based on our estimate of undiscounted future cash flows, we are required to estimate the fair value of the asset. An impairment charge is recorded for the excess of the asset carrying value over its fair value, if any. The fair value is determined either by a third party appraisal or estimated discounted future cash flows. At December 31, 2008, our review resulted in an impairment charge of $247,342 related to the Company’s web sites.

Accounting for Income Taxes

We are required to estimate income taxes in states in which we are registered and/or have a physical presence. This process involves estimating actual tax exposure while assessing temporary differences resulting in differing treatment for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. We considered future taxable income in assessing the need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. In the event that actual results differ from those estimates or that those estimates are adjusted in future periods, we may need to record a valuation allowance, which would reduce deferred tax assets and the results of operations in the period the change is made.

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007

Net Sales and Services. Net sales and services decreased 40.2% to $20.7 million in 2008 compared to $34.6 million in 2007, due to an decrease in the volume of goods being sold, the loss of major customers Océ North America and Eclipsis Corporation and the ceasing of operations in December 2008.

Gross Profit. Gross profits decreased to $1.9 million in 2008 compared to $4.0 million in 2007. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 8.9% in 2008, compared to 11.7% in 2007. The decrease in gross profit percentage resulted from adjusting pricing and margin for Internet sales. Gross profit margins as a percent of sales will continue to vary due to changes in vendor programs, product and customer mix, pricing strategies and economic conditions. The use of our line of credit to fund the expansion of accounts receivable and inventory incurred interest expense of $3,000 and $15,000 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The interest rate of the working capital lines was tied to the prime rate.

Selling and Advertising Expenses. Selling and Advertising expenses, which primarily consisted of salesperson and marketing salaries, decreased to $1.4 million in 2008 from $2.3 million in 2007 primarily due to reduced commissions and sales and marketing salaries, and increased as a percentage of net sales to 6.8% in 2008 compared to 6.6% in 2007.

Gain on Sale of Assets and Impairment Expense. In 2008, the Company had a gain on sale of assets of $202,000 due to it’s transaction with eMedia. The remaining gain was due to minor assets being sold throughout the year.  The Company recorded an impairment expense in 2008 of $247,000 after an analysis of the future revenues related to the web sites.  

Gain on Salary Forgiveness. In August 2008, the Cmopany issued 266,666 shares to two officers in settlement of $83,250 of salary accrued through July 31, 2008.  The shares were valued at their fair value of $16,000 resulting in a gain of $67,250.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and Administrative expenses, which primarily consist of administration and officer expenses, and professional fees, remained the same at $3.0 million for 2008 and 2007, and increased as a percentage of net sales to 14.4% in 2008 compared 8.6% in 2007. The increase in percentage terms in general and administrative expenses was due to the following:

·

Accruing for the California sales tax audit, interest and penalties of $654,000 during 2008 as compared to the prior year.



13



·

Accruing for vacating of the leased premises which increased rent expense by approximately $141,000 during 2008 as compared to the prior year.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $27,000 in 2008, compared to $49,000 in 2007. The interest expense was due to interest owed on the outstanding $500,000 note payable and capital leases.  The note payable was extinguished during 2007.

Miscellaneous Income. Other income increased to $81,000 in 2008, compared to $50,000 in 2007 and consisted primarily of customer deposits that were abandoned.

Income Tax Provision. The income tax provision for 2008 was nil, compared to an income tax benefit of $45,000 during 2007. The effective tax rates expressed as a percent of income were 0% and 0% for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Net Loss. As a result of the foregoing the, net loss for fiscal year 2008 was $2.6 million, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $1.3 million, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share, for fiscal year 2007.

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our results of operations. However, there can be no assurance that inflation will not have such an effect in future periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our total assets were $418,000 at December 31, 2008, of which all were current assets. As of December 31, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $60,000 and had a working capital deficit of $1,297,000 compared to working capital of approximately $346,000 at December 31, 2007. The decrease in working capital from December 31, 2007 was primarily a result of ceasing operations, accruing $665,000 for the California sales tax audit and the net operating loss the company experienced during the year ended December 31, 2008.

We measure liquidity as the sum of total cash. At December 31, 2008, our liquidity was $60,000.

During the past four  years, we have experienced net losses. We have fluctuations in operating cash flows that are not correlated with any certainty. In the years we have had net losses, operating cash flows have been both positive and negative.  We anticipate our operating cash flows to continue to be negative while we wind down operations.

Our current operations, only include the winding down of business activities and contracts, and sale of remaining assets of the Company.

Capital expenditures in 2008 totaled $271,000. This includes improvements to our web properties, computer and software purchases and improvements to our information technology systems. In 2009, we anticipate no further spending for capital expenditures.

While we currently operate as a going concern, certain significant factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue to operate as a going concern. We have incurred significant losses since inception.  These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue to operate as a going concern.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities: Net cash flow used by operating activities was $135,000 during 2008 primarily due to our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2008. Additionally, accounts receivable experienced a significant reduction in 2008 due to a ceasing of operations and collecting from previous customers who were given payment terms.  At the end 2008, we no longer extend credit to any customers and remaining customer balances have been given to at a collections agency.

Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $626,000 during 2007 primarily due to a pay-down of our accounts payable due to increased collections of our accounts receivable balance from additional accounting staff to work on collections. Additionally, accounts receivable experienced a significant reduction in 2007 due to a large payment for the large product sale at the end of 2006 and improved collections on SMB accounts.



14




Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $304,000 in 2008. We purchased approximately $271,000 of fixed assets and cash of approximately $575,000 was provided primarily from the sale of certain assets to eMedia.  These assets included our investment in web properties, computer and software programs and improvements to our information technology systems.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $599,000 in 2007. Cash was used for the capital expenditures and expenditures were higher in 2007 due to increased investment in web properties, computer and software programs and improvements to our information technology systems.

Financing Activities. Net cash used by financing activities was $2,149,000 in 2008, which primarily was comprised by the termination and payoff of our revolving line of credit.  The Company did raise net cash of $232,000 in August 2008 through private placements with accredited investors.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased to $1,087,000 in 2007, which increase was due to the private placement of equity financing and reduced for principal payments on a note payable. In 2006 and 2005, net cash provided by financing activities was $543,000 and $964,000, respectively and was due to increased borrowing on our line of credit.

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

On March 27, 2009, the audit committee and the board of directors of  the Company approved the dismissal of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Reznick Group, P.C. (“Reznick”).  On that date, the audit committee and the board approved and ratified the engagement of Salberg & Company, P.A. (“Salberg”) to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.  During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent period prior to the Company’s engagement of Salberg, the Company did not consult with Salberg regarding any of the matters or reportable events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

During each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007 and the subsequent period from January 1, 2008 through the Company’s notice to Reznick of its dismissal on March 27, 2009: (i) there were no disagreements between the Company and Reznick on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope of procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Reznick, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with it’s reports; and (ii) there were no “reportable events” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).  In addition, Reznick’s reports on the Company’s financial statements for 2006 and 2007 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that Reznick’s report on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007 contained an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as a result of non-compliance with the financial covenants under the Company’s line of credit and the resulting impact on the Company’s ability to continue to finance inventory purchases and provide working capital.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Corporate Governance Committee, each of which is briefly described below. The Board of Directors does not have a standing Nominating Committee, but the Corporate Governance Committee fulfills the function of the Nominating Committee.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in maintaining the integrity of our financial statements, and of our financial reporting processes and systems of internal audit controls, and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee reviews the scope of independent audits and assesses the results. The Audit Committee meets with management to consider the adequacy of the internal control over, and the objectivity of, financial reporting. The Audit Committee also meets with the independent auditors and with appropriate financial personnel concerning these matters. The Audit Committee selects, determines the compensation of, appoints and oversees our independent auditors. The independent auditors periodically meet with the Audit Committee and always have unrestricted access to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee currently consists of Messrs. Paulfus, Rosenbach and Grillo all of whom have been determined by our Board of Directors to be “independent” as defined under the standards of independence adopted by the Board of Directors and as defined under the standards of independence set forth in the Marketplace Rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market, although these independent director standards do not directly apply to us because we do not have any securities that are listed



18



on NASDAQ. Mr. Paulfus currently serves as Chairman of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee met four times in 2008. Mr. Paulfus qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined under Item 407 of SEC Regulation S-K.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee administers incentive compensation plans, including stock option plans, and advises the Board of Directors regarding employee benefit plans. The Compensation Committee establishes the compensation structure of our senior executives, approves the compensation of our senior executives, and makes recommendations regarding the compensation of our Co-Chief Executive Officers and our other executive officers. The Compensation Committee advises and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors on all matters concerning director compensation. The Compensation Committee may not delegate any of its authority regarding the consideration and determination of executive and director compensation. The Compensation Committee, which was established in September 2007, currently consists of Messrs. Rosenbach, Grillo, Paulfus and Martin, all of whom have been determined by our Board of Directors to be “independent” as defined under the standards of independence adopted by the Board of Directors and as defined under the standards of independence set forth in the Marketplace Rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market, although these independent director standards do not directly apply to us because we do not have any securities that are listed on NASDAQ. Mr. Rosenbach currently serves as chairman of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee met two times in 2008.

Corporate Governance Committee

The Corporate Governance Committee evaluates and recommends candidates for election to our Board of Directors, reviews the performance and contribution of directors, recommends membership for standing committees, reviews director independence, and adopts and reviews Company corporate governance guidelines and codes of conduct. The Corporate Governance Committee, which was established in September 2007, currently consists of Messrs. Rosenbach, Grillo, Paulfus and Martin, all of whom have been determined by our Board of Directors to be “independent” as defined under the standards of independence adopted by the Board of Directors and as defined under the standards of independence set forth in the Marketplace Rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market, although these independent director standards do not directly apply to us because we do not have any securities that are listed on NASDAQ. Mr. Grillo currently serves as chairman of the Corporate Governance Committee.

INDEPENDENCE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Our independent directors are Messrs. Rosenbach, Grillo, Paulfus and Martin. The Board of Directors has determined that these directors are independent directors based on certain independence criterion adopted by the Board of Directors during 2008 and the independence standards contained in the Marketplace Rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market, although these independent director standards do not directly apply to us because we do not have any securities that are listed on NASDAQ. In making its determination, the Board of Directors considered the lack of relationships or transactions between the Company and these independent directors.

CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS

We have established a Code of Ethics that applies to our co-chief executive officers and senior financial officers including our principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, if any, or persons performing similar functions.  The Company will provide to any person without charge, upon request, a copy of such code of ethics.  Requests may be made by directing a written request to the Co-Chief Executive Officer at 9605 Parkview Avenue, Boca Raton, FL 33428.

2007 Stock Incentive Plan

The 2007 Plan was approved by our Board of Directors on July 12, 2007 and by our stockholders at our 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on September 12, 2007. The purpose of the 2007 Plan is to provide an additional incentive in the form of stock options (both incentive and nonqualified stock options), restricted stock and restricted stock units to selected persons providing services to the Company and/or any 50% or greater owned subsidiary of the Company. Awards under the 2007 Plan may be granted singly, in combination, or in tandem. Subject to anti-dilution adjustments as provided in the 2007 Plan a total of 4,000,000 shares of common stock was reserved for distribution pursuant to the 2007 Plan.

Awards under the 2007 Plan may be granted to employees, directors, consultants or independent contractors. However, only employees of the Company and its subsidiaries will be eligible to receive options that are designated as incentive stock options.

With respect to options granted under the 2007 Plan, the exercise price of options designated as incentive stock options must be at least 100% (110% in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a ten percent stockholder within the meaning of Section 422(b)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) of the fair market value of the common stock subject to the award, determined as of the date of grant. The exercise price of nonqualified options will be set by the Board committee administering the 2007 plan. Restricted stock awards and awards of restricted stock units are awarded subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions established by the administrator. In general, awards that do not require exercise may be made in exchange for such lawful consideration, including services, as determined by the administrator.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


Board of Directors and Shareholders

PC Universe, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of PC Universe, Inc. as of December 31, 2008, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.


We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit  includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PC Universe, Inc. as of December 31, 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, during 2008 the Company had net losses and cash used in operations and its only line of credit which was financing its operations was terminated. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had no financing arrangements to provide cash for operations.  On December 19, 2008, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with eMedia Management LLC (eMedia), whereby eMedia agreed to purchase and the Company agreed to sell substantially all of its assets comprising the web business of the Company.  The Company ceased all other operations other than activities to wind down the business.  The transaction with eMedia closed on April 30, 2009.  These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans as to these matters are also described in Note 1.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


Board of Directors and Shareholders

PC Universe, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of PC Universe, Inc. as of December 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.


We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PC Universe, Inc. as of December 31, 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  


As discussed in Note 2, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty In Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 on January 1, 2007.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1, the Company was not in compliance with the financial covenants under its line of credit with IBM Credit, LLC at December 31, 2007. A default of the covenants could result in a termination of the credit agreement. The default and its impact on the Company’s ability to continue finance its inventory purchases and provide working capital raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN


Description of Business


PC Universe, Inc. was formed under the laws of the State of Nevada and in June 2006, merged with PC Universe, Inc. (the old Company), a Florida corporation. The corporation was a direct marketer of multi brand computers and related technology and services primarily through the Internet throughout the United States.


On December 19, 2008 the Company executed an  asset purchase agreement with eMedia Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (eMedia), whereby the Company  sold its web-based business and related assets including the Company’s customized web stores for customers through Internet portals at www.pcuniverse.com and www.patriotpc.us. along with certain  liabilities that  were assumed. The Company ceased all other operations other than activities to wind down the business.  In accordance with the requirements in SFAS 141 "Business Combinations" the Company designated an effective date of the sale as December 19, 2008 since all consideration between the seller and buyer had been exchanged, effective control was transferred pursuant to a written agreement, and that written agreement was approved by the Board of Directors and stockholders of the Company and by the manager and the members of the buyer.  The sale price was $500,000 cash plus the assumption of certain liabilities. The sale legally closed on April 30, 2009.   The following table summarizes the gain on sale:

Going Concern and Management’s Plans


The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. During 2008 the Company had net losses and cash used in operations and its only line of credit with IBM which was financing its operations was terminated (See Note 3).  As of December 31, 2008, the Company had no financing arrangements to provide cash for operations.  On December 19, 2008, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with eMedia, whereby eMedia agreed to purchase and the Company agreed to sell substantially all of its assets comprising the web business of the Company including the Company’s customized web stores for customers through Internet portals at www.pcuniverse.com and www.patriotpc.us. The Company ceased all other operations other than activities to wind down the business. The transaction with eMedia Management closed on April 30, 2009.

These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible effects on recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from its inability to continue as a going concern.


Management's  plans to cease operations started on December 19, 2008 and continued into early 2009 by disposing of all remaining assets of the company and settling with remaining creditors.  Management intends on merging the inactive Company with another operating company (See Note 10).

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents represent highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase.


Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts


Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical collection experience. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Past due balances over 90 days are reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers.


As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, accounts receivable in the amount of $0 and $1,262,870 were pledged as collateral in connection with the line of credit (see Note 3).


Inventories and Vendor Concentrations


Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or market. Inventories consist entirely of finished goods which are primarily computers and related software and equipment.


The Company decreases the value of inventory for estimated obsolescence equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon an aging analysis of the inventory on hand, specifically known inventory-related risks, and assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If future demand or actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.  During 2008  the Company charged $252,397 to cost of sales and services as obsolete inventory.


The Company bought a significant portion of its products from 4 suppliers. Purchases from Tech Data, Ingram Micro, Synnex and SED represented 33.1%, 27.1%, 10.7% and 2.7%, respectively, of total product purchases in 2008.  Purchases from Tech Data, Ingram Micro, Synnex and SED represented 40.2%, 16.7%, 9.5% and 7.6%, respectively, of total product purchases in 2007. No other vendor supplied more than 10.0% of total product purchases in 2008 or 2007. Although there are a limited number of manufacturers, the Company believes that other suppliers could provide similar products if its relationship with any of these suppliers were interrupted.


Property and Equipment


Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of three to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lease term or estimated useful life. Depreciation expense on equipment obtained under capital lease obligations is included with depreciation expense for similar types of equipment. Improvements or major renewals that extend the useful lives of the respective assets are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation expense, which is included in general and administrative expenses, amounted to $227,641 and $224,655 during 2008 and 2007, respectively.

During 2008 the Company either terminated capital leases or sold fixed assets resulting in a net gain of $30,316 which is included in the gain on sale of assets in the accompanying statement of operations.  In December 2008, the company sold fixed assets with a book value of $400,517 ($767,448 of fixed assets with accumulated depreciation of $366,931) as part of its asset sale to eMedia (see Note 1).  Subsequent to year ended December 31, 2008, the remaining assets as presented in the above table consisting of leasehold improvements, office furniture and equipment, and warehouse equipment were abandoned.


Web Site Development Costs


The Company capitalized eligible costs associated with software developed or obtained for internal use in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) No. 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use”, and with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 00-02, “Accounting for Web Site Development Costs”. Accordingly, the Company expensed all costs that relate to the planning and post implementation phases. Costs incurred in the development phase are capitalized and amortized over the product’s estimated useful life, generally three years. Costs associated with minor enhancements and maintenance for the Company’s website are expensed as incurred.   In 2008, the company charged $247,342 as impairment expense against the web site development costs.


Long Lived Assets


Management evaluates the recoverability of the Company’s identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets,” which generally requires the assessment of these assets for recoverability when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists. Events and circumstances considered by the Company in determining whether the carrying value of identifiable intangible assets and other long-lived assets may not be recoverable include, but are not limited to: significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results; significant changes in the use of the assets; significant negative industry or economic trends; and changes in the Company’s business strategy. In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of these assets. If impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets’ carrying values and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair market value of the assets.


Deferred Rent


The Company recognized rent expense, including the effects of lease incentives or abatements, on a straight-line basis over the term of each lease.

Income Taxes


Prior to June 1, 2006 the Company had elected to be treated as an S corporation under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code and therefore was not subject to income taxes. Taxable income or loss was passed through and reported by the individual shareholders. Subsequent to the reverse merger in 2006 the Company was reorganized as a C corporation under which income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method in accordance with SFAS 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on the deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.


In June 2006, the FASB ratified the consensus reached on Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 06-03, “How Sales Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (that is, Gross Versus Net Presentation).” The EITF reached a consensus that the presentation of taxes on either a gross or net basis is an accounting policy decision that requires disclosure. EITF 06-03 is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2006. Amounts collected from customers, which under common trade practices are referred to as sales taxes, are and have been recorded on a net basis. We have no intention of modifying this accounting policy. Therefore, the adoption of EITF 06-03 did not have any effect on our financial statements.


Revenue Recognition


Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, prices are fixed or determinable, and ability to collect is probable. The Company considers the point of delivery to be when the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer. The Company’s shipping terms dictate that passage of title occurs upon receipt of products by the customer.


The majority of the Company’s revenue is from sales of tangible products and is recognized on a gross basis. Sales are reported net of sales, use or other transaction taxes that are collected from the customers and remitted to taxing authorities. Sales are reported net of returns and allowances in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 48 "Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists." The Company has demonstrated the ability to make reasonable and reliable estimates of product returns based on historical experience. Additionally, we offer limited return rights within 30 days on our product sales. We have demonstrated the ability to make reasonable and reliable estimates of product returns based on significant historical experience. If actual credits were to deviate significantly from our estimates, our results of operations could be adversely affected.  The Company has recorded no allowances for sales returns at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In accordance with EITF 00-10, "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs", shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recorded as sales and the related freight costs as a cost of sales.

The Company recognizes revenue on a gross basis for drop-shipments from its distributors and vendors, in accordance with EITF No. 99-19 "Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent". The Company has full latitude in establishing price with the customer, selecting its distributors and vendors, and is obligated to compensate the distributors and vendors for regardless of whether the customer accepts the product and the Company bears credit risk; therefore, these revenues are recognized on a gross basis with the selling price to the customer recorded as sales and the acquisition cost of the product recorded as cost of sales.


Third party services and extended warranties that are sold (for which the Company is not the primary obligor) are recognized on a net basis in accordance EITF No. 99-19. The Company does not take title to the products or assume any maintenance or return obligations in these transactions; title is passed directly from the supplier to its customer. Accordingly, such revenue is recognized in sales either at the time of sale or over the contract period, based on the nature of the contract, at the net amount to be retained, with no cost of goods sold.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2008 and 2007


The Company is involved in revenue sharing arrangements with its online partners where the consumer purchases products using sites hosted by the online partner. Revenue is effectively allocated to each partner based on the percentage of sales at each site. The allocated revenue is shared according to merchant partner agreements.  Revenue was recorded at gross amounts and merchant partner payments are recorded in cost of sales, pursuant to the provisions of EITF No. 99-19.

Technical services revenue is recognized upon completion and invoiced after performance.

We defer revenue for the TechPoints program, a customer loyalty program. TechPoints must be redeemed to be converted to an award of a particular product on our web sites. TechPoints cannot be redeemed for cash but may be used as a discount off a customer’s future purchase. Currently, TechPoints expire one year after issuance, but the expiration period is subject to change.  At December 31, 2008, the Company had no deferred revenue for TechPoints.   At December 31, 2007, we included $35,138 in deferred revenue. The Company accounts for its customer loyalty program (“TechPoints”) in accordance with EITF 00-22, “Accounting for ’Points’ and Certain Other Time-Based or Volume-Based Sales Incentive Offers, and Offers for Free Products or Services to Be Delivered in the Future.” Generally, this program offers customers a percentage dollar discount on future merchandise purchases within stated redemption periods based upon specified levels of merchandise in a current transaction.

The Company accounts for cash received from customers as prepayments for future products or services as deferred revenue. The Company recognizes revenue associated with those cash receipts in accordance with the above policies.

During 2008, in accordance with EITF 01-9, $197,090 of cooperative advertising costs were charged against revenues.

Cost of Sales and Services

Components of cost of sales and services include the purchase price of products and services, interest costs of $2,571 related to inventory purchases, inbound and outbound shipping charges, revenue sharing payments and direct payroll costs

Selling and Advertising Expense

Components of selling and advertising expenses include marketing costs, advertising costs, salesperson and marketing payroll, commission expense, credit card fees and internet charges. The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Total advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 amounted to $102,338 and $144,585, respectively.

The Company receives cooperative advertising expense reimbursements from vendors who support its marketing and advertising activities. Cooperative reimbursements from vendors are recorded in the period the related advertising expenditure is incurred. The Company classifies vendor consideration as either a reduction of advertising expense or as a reduction of cost of sales and services in accordance with EITF No. 02-16, “Accounting for Consideration Received from a Vendor by a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products).” Most vendor consideration received for cooperative advertising is considered a reduction of cost of sales. Advertising expense is offset by cooperative advertising funds when the reimbursement represents specific, incremental and identifiable costs. The following table presents the gross amounts that are netted together in its advertising expense line item.

General and Administrative Expense


Components of general and administrative expenses include finance and operations payroll, executive compensation, rent, professional fees, payroll taxes and benefits, utilities, depreciation expense and non income related taxes and fees.


Stock Based Compensation


The Company’s stock incentive plans provide for the grant of options to acquire shares of common stock to certain employees, non-employee directors, consultants and others. Each option granted has an exercise price of 100% of the market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. The options generally have a contractual life of 10 years and generally vest and become exercisable in 20% increments over five years.


On June 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), ”Share-Based Payments.”, requiring measurement and recognition of expense for all share-based payment awards to employees and directors based on estimated fair values.


Stock-based compensation expense is recorded in cost of sales and services, selling and advertising or general and administrative expenses depending on the classification of the related employee’s payroll cost. Total stock-based compensation expense for stock options recognized in the statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $20,561 and $62,095, respectively.

Concentrations of Credit Risk and Other Concentrations


The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Management believes the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.


The Company maintained an affiliate partner program with Amazon.com, in which, Amazon.com facilitated the order process and batched orders and payment together.  No end user purchased more than 10% of the Company’s overall revenues but revenue attributed to the Amazon.com relationship was 33.6% in 2008 and 26.3% in 2007.


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.  Significant estimates as of December 31, 2008 includes the allowance for doubtful accounts, the deferred taxes and valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and estimates of liabilities related to legal actions and sales tax assessments against the Company.


Risks and Uncertainties


The Company is subject to all of the risks inherent in a company that operates in the intensely competitive Internet industry, providing products that are relatively new and constantly evolving. These risks include, but are not limited to, market acceptance of the Company’s products and services, risks associated with acquisitions and expansion, and reliance on third-party vendors and distributor’s products. The Company’s operating results may be materially affected by the foregoing factors.


Financial Instruments


SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires disclosures of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amounts reported in the financial statements approximate the fair value. The estimated fair value of the line of credit approximates the carrying value, as this instrument requires interest payments at a market rate of interest.

Segment Reporting


The Company operated in one business segment as a direct marketer of multi brand computers and related technology and services primarily through the Internet throughout the United States of America.


Reclassification


Certain reclassifications of the 2007 amounts have been made to conform to the fiscal year 2008 presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on shareholders’ equity or net loss as previously reported.


Pronouncements Implemented


In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 (“SFAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but rather eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB FSP 157-2 which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. These nonfinancial items include assets and liabilities such as reporting units measured at fair value in a goodwill impairment test and nonfinancial assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. We currently do not have any financial assets and liabilities requiring fair value measurement. Therefore, the partial adoption of SFAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 (“SFAS 159”), “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. Under SFAS 159, companies may elect to measure certain financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The standard requires that unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected be reported in earnings. SFAS 159 was effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. We currently do not have any instruments eligible for election of the fair value option. Therefore, the adoption of SFAS 159 in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 did not impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


In June 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Staff Position EITF 03-06-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (FSP EITF 03-06-1). FSP EITF 03-06-1 provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method in Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. The Company’s unvested share-based payment awards are not eligible to receive dividends; therefore EITF 03-06-1 will not have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.


In October 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active (FSP 157-3). FSP 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which the Company adopted as of April 1, 2008, in cases where a market is not active.  The Company has considered the guidance provided by FSP 157-3 in its determination of estimated fair values as of September 30, 2008, and the impact was not material.


Pronouncements Not Yet Implemented


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations.” SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, non-controlling interest in the acquiree and goodwill acquired, and expands disclosures about business combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) requires the acquirer to recognize changes in valuation

allowances on acquired deferred tax assets to be recognized in operations. These changes in deferred tax benefits were previously recognized through a corresponding reduction to goodwill. With the exception of the provisions regarding acquired deferred taxes, which are applicable to all business combinations, SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51.” SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require:


·

The ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated balance sheet within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity;

·

The amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income;

·

Changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently;

·

When a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained non-controlling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value;

·

Entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners.

SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is not permitted. SFAS No. 160 shall be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it is initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements. The presentation and disclosure requirements shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. We  do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 160 to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.


In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” SFAS No. 161 enhances the current disclosure framework in SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” by requiring entities to provide detailed disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.


NOTE 3 – LINE OF CREDIT


The Company had a secured line of credit of up to $4.0 million with IBM Credit, LLC. The line of credit bore a per annum interest rate at the Prime Rate, as defined in the agreement, plus 0.00%. The line of credit was secured by accounts receivable and inventory.


The agreement with IBM Credit contained financial covenants pertaining to the maintenance of tangible net worth and debt to equity ratio and a 45 to 90 day financial reporting requirement. At December 31, 2007, the Company did not meet the tangible net worth and the net income as a percent of sales covenants. On March 20, 2008, the Company received notice from IBM Credit that the Company was out of compliance with one or more of the financial performance covenants set forth in the IBM Credit Agreement and was in default. IBM stated in the notice of default that it has not determined whether action will be taken as a result of this default; however, the Financing Agreement provides that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, IBM, in addition to

any other rights and remedies contained in the Financing Agreement, is entitled to (i) exercise any or all rights it has as a secured party under applicable law; (ii) cease making financial accommodations or extending any additional credit to the Company; and (iii) may, at any time at IBM’s election, without notice or demand to the Company, declare the Company’s obligations under the Financing Agreement to be immediately due and payable.


On August 29, 2008, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement and Notice of Continuing Default (the “Forbearance Agreement”) with IBM. Under the Forbearance Agreement, IBM had agreed to forbear from exercising certain remedies available under the Financing Agreement for events of default provided that we comply with the terms and conditions as set forth in the Forbearance Agreement.  Our failure to comply with any of the foregoing covenants within the time frames set forth above would constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Financing Agreement and a default under the Forbearance Agreement. In addition, the Forbearance Agreement further provides that effective August 29, 2008, the credit line under the Financing Agreement was reduced to $950,000.


On October 15, 2008 the credit line, the Forbearance Agreement and the Financing Agreement terminated. On such date, all of our obligations under the Financing Agreement were immediately due and payable in their entirety, even if they were not yet due under their terms.


As of December 31, 2008, all obligations to IBM were paid in their entirety.


NOTE 4 –COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


Leases


The Company leases office space and office equipment under non-cancelable operating lease agreements with various renewal options.

Florida for certain claims including breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, misappropriation, tortious interference with business relationships, civil conspiracy and violations of the Florida Uniform Trade Secrets Act and also requested a permanent injunction enjoining the employees from their continued alleged wrongful conduct. We asserted in the complaint that certain former employees conspired to resign from the Company and then began to directly compete with us in the same territories and for the same customers by incorporating, selling products and recruiting employees for a direct competitor of ours. On September 6, 2007, the defendants filed a counterclaim against us alleging that we breached the employment contracts of two of the defendants and tortiously interferred with certain of the defendants business relationships. We intend to vigorously defend against the counterclaims. Management is unable to determine the outcome of the lawsuit at this time, or estimate the probability of prevailing in connection with the request for an injunction or on the merits of these claims.


California Sales Tax Audit

Stock Options

In 2007, the Company adopted a Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to which the Company’s Board of Directors may grant stock options to key employees, non-employee directors, consultants and others. The Plan authorized grants of options to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of authorized but un-issued common stock. Stock options are granted with an exercise price not less than the stock’s fair market value at the date of grant. All stock options granted have terms not to exceed ten years. The number of shares granted, vesting period, and price per share are determined by the Board of Directors. Stock options generally vest over one to five years per vesting schedule. At December 31, 2008, there were 2,614,000 shares available for future grant under the Plan.

Included in the Plan are options granted to our Board of Directors.  In 2007, the Company has granted options to purchase 75,000 shares to its Board of Directors.  In 2008, the Company granted options to purchase 25,000 shares to one new member of the Board of Directors.

The Company values stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and recognizes this value as an expense over the vesting period. Option valuation models require the company to make subjective assumptions. Changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate. The expected dividend yield is based on expected annual dividends and the market value of the company’s stock. The expected stock volatility assumption is based on historical volatility of the company’s stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury Strip rate posted at the grant date for the expected term of the option. The expected term represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.  

Forfeiture rate is the estimated percentage of options granted that are expected to be forfeited or cancelled on an annual basis before becoming fully vested. The Company estimates the forfeiture rate based on past turnover data.

NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES


Prior to June 1, 2006 the Company had elected to be treated as an S corporation under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code and therefore was not subject to income taxes. Taxable income or loss was passed through and reported by the individual shareholders. Subsequent to the merger the company was reorganized as a C corporation under which income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method in accordance with SFAS 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on the deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and income tax purposes. The Company has recognized a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets because the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that sufficient taxable income will not be generated during the carry-forward period available under the tax law to utilize part or all of the deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance for deferred taxes increased $1,124,922 during the year ended December 31, 2008. Significant components of the Company’s net deferred tax assets were as follows:
