RECENT DEVELOPMENTS


As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on February 10, 2009, Michael W. Woods, a member of the Board of Directors and the Chief Financial Officer of SearchPath Industrial, Inc. (the “Company”) tendered his resignation from the Board of Directors, and his position as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective immediately.  Mr. Woods and the Company decided to part ways until the Company could afford a Chief Financial Officer of his caliber, and not as a result of any disagreement between the Company and Mr. Woods.  On February 10, 2009, the remaining Directors unanimously appointed Thomas K. Johnston as the Company’s interim Chief Financial Officer, effective as of such date. Mr. Johnston, 49, is the Company’s founder and has been a Director and our Chief Executive Officer and President since July 19, 2005.

SearchPath International, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements

1.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

SearchPath International, Inc. (the Company) is a franchisor of search and recruitment franchises.  The franchisor and franchises’ primary focus is full time permanent placement of managerial, sales, professional and executive level positions in all industries and locations.  The Company sold five franchises and eight franchises during the six months ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.


Basis of Presentation

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company on the same basis as our annual financial statements.


Interim Financial Statements

The interim financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for presentation of financial statements for the interim periods in accordance with GAAP and with the instructions to Form 10-Q in Article 10 of Regulation S-X.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentrations of Credit Risks

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company invests its cash balances through high-credit quality financial institutions. From time to time, the Company maintains bank account levels in excess of FDIC insurance limits. If the financial institutions in which the Company has its accounts has financial difficulties, the Company’s cash balances could be at risk.

Revenue Recognition

Franchise agreements have terms ranging from five to ten years.  These agreements also include extension terms of five years, depending on contract terms and if certain conditions are met.  The Company provides the use of the SearchPath trademarks, training, pre-opening assistance and operational assistance in exchange for franchise fees, royalty fees ranging from 3% to 7% of placement revenue, and advertising fees of .75% of placement revenue.

The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of franchises upon substantial performance by the Company of all material conditions relating to the initial fee.  Royalty and advertising fees are recognized as revenue when the franchisee recognizes the placement.  Placement fees are recognized when the placement is made by the Company.

Net Loss per Share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the Company’s weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution to basic earnings per share that could occur upon conversion or exercise of securities, options or other such items to common shares using the treasury stock method, based upon the company’s weighted average fair value of the common shares during the period. For each period presented, basic and diluted loss per share amounts are identical as the effect of potential common shares is antidilutive.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with insignificant interest rate risk and original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents balances at certain financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by federal agencies. Management does not believe that as a result of this concentration, it is subject to any unusual financial risk beyond the normal risk associated with commercial banking relationships.  At December 31, 2008, the Company did not have any investments that would be considered cash equivalents.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable are generally due within 30 days and are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.  Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due.  The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligations to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and industry as a whole.  The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible.

Notes Receivable

Notes receivable are stated at fair value, net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts.  The fair value of the notes receivable is estimated by discounting future cash flows using the mid-term applicable federal rate at December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, respectively, unless the note includes a reasonably stated rate in the terms.  The Company determines its allowance based on payment history, length of time outstanding and previous history with the franchisee.  The Company writes off notes when they become uncollectible.  At December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, the allowance for uncollectible notes receivable totaled $132,020 and $180,200, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Depreciation of property and equipment is provided by use of the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the assets:
 
 
Furniture and equipment

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 describes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Therefore, FIN 48 will be effective for us beginning October 1, 2007. The cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 had no effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” which provides a definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those years. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are applied prospectively and had no effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value. Under SFAS No. 159, the decision to measure items at fair value is made at specified election dates on an irrevocable instrument-by-instrument basis. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. This standard had no effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R (revised 2007), “Business Combinations,” replacing SFAS No. 141. SFAS No. 141R changes or clarifies the acquisition method of accounting for acquired contingencies, transaction costs, step acquisitions, restructuring costs and other major areas affecting how the acquirer recognizes and measures the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. In addition, this pronouncement amends previous interpretations of intangible asset accounting by requiring the capitalization of in-process research and development and proscribing impacts to current income tax expense (rather than a reduction to goodwill) for changes in deferred tax benefits related to a business combination. Statement No. 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Generally, the effect of Statement No. 141R on the Company’s financial position or results of operations will depend on future acquisitions.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB 51.” Statement No. 160 requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. Statement No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has not yet determined the effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations of complying with the provisions of Statement No. 160.

In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” Statement No. 161 establishes guidelines to report how derivative and hedging activities affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Statement No. 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company has not yet determined the effect, if any, that Statement No. 161 will have on the Company’s disclosures regarding derivatives and hedging activities.

Summary of Our Business

SPI was incorporated in the State of Delaware on June 30, 2005.  The Company is a franchisor of talent acquisition services.  As of February 23, 2009, the Company has signed on 69 franchises.  Talent acquisition services are a relatively new concept in the human capital industry that include any and all services related to the identification, qualification, acquisition and retention of human capital.  The Company was created by the owner and founder of Pathfinder Search Partners of Cleveland, Inc. (“Pathfinder”).  Pathfinder, an Ohio corporation incorporated in 1998 as Sales Consultants of Shaker Heights, Inc., is an executive recruiting firm focusing on the permanent placement of personnel services.  Pathfinder is currently a franchisee of SearchPath International, and does business under the name “SearchPath of Cleveland Uptown”.

Upon establishing our Corporate headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio in 2005, SPI began offering and selling franchises to expand its presence in the U.S.  The Company platform focuses on a “client-centric” set of service offerings that strives to be highly responsive to the ever-changing demands of today’s human capital market. This client focused mindset allows us to tailor each and every project to the specific needs and business line of our clients.

Our organization was founded and is led by driven, focused, highly successful recruiting and franchising professionals that bring dynamic, innovative ideas and proven track records of success to the SPI platform. Our goal is to continually introduce new concepts that help franchisees focus on long-term client and candidate retention, which drives revenue and keeps us competitive with our industry counterparts.

 
Page 13

 

In conjunction with the evolution of the franchisor model, three primary sources of revenues are generated by the Company.  The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of franchises upon substantial performance by the Company of all material conditions relating to the initial fee.  Royalty and advertising fees are recognized as revenue when the franchisee recognizes the placement.  Placement fees are recognized when the placement is made by the Company.

Currently, the revenues generated from royalty and advertising fees are not sufficient to fund the operations of the Company.  Therefore, the Company is highly focused on franchise sales to increase its franchisee base and achieve critical mass to fund operations of the Company.  In conjunction with the franchise sales efforts, the Company is also focused on Corporate fees to fund the operations of the Company.

 The Company will continue our aggressive pursuit of new franchises through its current resources.  Additionally, the Company intends to engage independent franchise brokers and employ additional Corporate staff to help facilitate rapid franchise growth.  Incentive plans have been offered to our existing franchise owners to support the franchise sales efforts.  The Company is also exploring new financing partners to provide a wide variety of financing options to the franchisee that will increase the number of qualified franchisee candidates and increase cash received by the Company at the time of close for franchise sales.

As we continue to move forward, our primary focus is to increase royalty and advertising revenues from existing franchisees.  As of December 2008, we have revamped our training and coaching programs which will commence in January 2009 to assist in increasing placement activities of our existing franchisees and foster organic growth within the Company.

The Company has increased and will continue to focus on Corporate revenue generating activities through the addition of a variably-compensated full-time, committed resource to focus on Corporate placement activities including talent acquisition, business development and create a national accounts program in the future.  Additionally, we intend to combine current execution expertise at SPI Corporate with the existing centralized research program to create a new revenue generating unit within the Company in 2009.  For a fixed or variably-based fee, this unit will assist all SPI franchisee offices with candidate identification and assist in placements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity consist of cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations and borrowing from various sources primarily private investors and vendor payment deferrals. No additional net proceeds from convertible debentures were received in the December quarter; however we are actively pursuing this avenue. At December 31, 2008, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $8,461 and we had a working capital deficit of $1,295,163.

The Company's existence is dependent on management's ability to develop profitable operations and resolve the Company's liquidity problems. In order to improve the Company's liquidity, management is actively pursuing additional equity and debt financing through discussions with investment bankers and private investors. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to raise additional financing. If successful in completing this financing, we may not be able to do so on terms that are not excessively dilutive to our existing stockholders or less costly than existing sources of financing. Failure to secure additional financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms if and when needed in the future will have a material adverse effect on our financial performance, balance sheet and stock price and require us to implement cost reduction initiatives and curtail operations.

Cash Flows From Operations
Our cash flows from operations include cash received from placement fees, recurring royalties and advertising fees, and franchise fees received.  Cash used in operations include monthly operating expenses, the largest being salaries expense well exceeding over 50% of total operating expenses.  Cash used in operations decreased $5,733 to $22,286 from the prior period.  This decrease is primarily due to an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses which are to be paid in the first calendar quarter 2009.

Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities is used for operations as well as equipment costs and software.  Cash from investing activities is collections on promissory notes for franchise fees that were financed up front by the Company offset by the issuance of new promissory notes.  Cash flows used in investing activities decreased from $175,603 to $40,245 primarily due to collections of notes receivable.

Financing Activities
Cash flows from financing activities include cash proceeds from stock issuance and convertible note offerings and other cash received and used to pay operating expenses.  In December 2008, cash flow from financing activities decreased $149,987 to $12,766 from the prior period.  This substantial decrease is due to $72,000 less in convertible debt, no current year proceeds from long-term debt, and repayments made on long-term debt.

Income

In 2008, Franchise Fee Revenues decreased by $74,268 to $168,000, a 31% reduction compared to the comparable period in 2007. The change is attributable to the decrease in sales by three franchises.  Eight franchises were sold in 2007 compared to only five being sold in this period in 2008.

Royalties and Advertising Fee Income decreased $25,415 due to an economic shift with many industries going on hiring freezes thus reducing the opportunity for placements.  In addition, one franchise who had contributed substantially to royalties during the 2007 period had left by the 2008 period.  However several seasoned franchisees have recently joined the Company and we believe that we will continue to see an increase in this number.

Other Income decreased by $237,285 to 81,834.  Other income consists primarily of internal placements by the CEO.  This decrease is due to his redirection on the franchise side of the business versus personal recruiting production.


Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues decreased by $158,946 to $95,814.  This decrease is relatively proportional the decrease in placement fees due to the CEO focusing on franchise development and a portion of the decrease is due to less external franchise sales referrals, less commissions were paid because there were fewer placements made.


Operating Expenses

Compensation expense decreased approximately 25% to $332,337.  One individual was terminated in November and two in December, thus decreasing the overall compensation expense.

Other general and administrative expenses increased $31,126 to $80,569 a 63% increase, the largest increase is in expenses related to taking the company public.

Professional fees saw an increase of $18,194 to $86,348 due to the expenses incurred with a public offering.

Facilities expense saw only a 15% increase to $58,976, primarily due to a small increase in office rental fees which is based on a sliding scale.

Marketing & meetings/ conferences expenses increased $475 to $11,148, a 4% increase.


Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $23,875 to $54,454, a 78% increase due to an increase in Convertible Notes balance during this time period.

Revenue Recognition
Franchise agreements have terms ranging from five to ten years.  These agreements also include extension terms of five years, depending on contract terms and if certain conditions are met.  The Company provides the use of the SearchPath trademarks, training, pre-opening assistance and operational assistance in exchange for franchise fees, royalty fees ranging from 3% to 7% of placement revenue, and advertising fees of .75% of placement revenue.

The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of franchises upon substantial performance by the Company of all material conditions relating to the initial fee.  Royalty and advertising fees are recognized as revenue when the franchisee recognizes the placement.  Placement fees are recognized when the placement is made by the Company.


Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are generally due within 30 days and are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.  Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due.  The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligations to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and industry as a whole.  The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible.


Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of deferred taxes.  Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.


Notes Receivable
Notes receivable are stated at fair value, net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts.  The fair value of the notes receivable is estimated by discounting future cash flows using the mid-term applicable federal rate at date of financials.  The Company determines its allowance based on payment history, length of time outstanding and previous history with the franchisee.  The Company writes off notes when they become uncollectible



Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.  The Company has no interests in or relationships with any special purpose entities or variable interest entities.
