NOTE 4 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

On June 23, 2014, at a Board of Directors meeting, the Company approved the discontinuation of all activities of the Consulting segment. Accordingly, based on management’s intent at June 30, 2014, the Company discontinued the Consulting segment.

 

As a result the Company’s activities for the Consulting segment at June 30, 2014 are now limited to winding down our consulting business activities, realizing the value of the Consulting segment’s remaining assets and making tax and regulatory filings related to the Consulting segment.  Management’s goal is to liquidate all of the Consulting segment’s remaining assets as soon as practical while seeking to maximize stockholder value.  It is currently anticipated that all of the operations of the Consulting segment will be concluded in the third quarter of 2014, and that all significant obligations to pay or make provisions to satisfy all of its expenses and liabilities.  The Company intends to retain a sufficient amount of assets to ensure it is able to pay or satisfy all of the Consulting segment’s remaining expenses and liabilities.  Payroll and related costs and other expenses are currently anticipated to be incurred at least through September 30, 2014, in order to complete all required regulatory filings and audits. Accordingly, our estimate of expenses anticipated to be incurred from July 1, 2014, to September 30, 2014, have been accrued as of June 30, 2014, in our financial statements. 

     

        In conjunction with the discontinuance of operations, the Company recognized that all assets carrying amounts are already at their fair values less estimated cost to sell.
