Romania"). On December 19, 2005, the Company entered into a share purchase
agreement to sell 100% of the Company’s interest in Euroweb Hungary and Euroweb
Romania. The closing of the sale of Euroweb Hungary and Euroweb Romania occurred

closed on December 31, 2006. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, ERC issued
shares to TIHG in exchange for 100% of the outstanding securities of Verge
Living Corporation (“Verge”). Subsequent to the exchange, Emvelco ownership in
ERC was diluted to 43.33%, while TIHG owned the remaining 56.67%. Verge became
a
wholly-owned subsidiary of ERC. ERC, via assignment from Verge directly owns
33.33% of AP Holdings Limited (“AP Holdings”), a Jersey Island non operating
holding Company. Such interest was acquired prior to any affiliation with the
Company. AP Holdings owns 100% of Atia project d.o.o, a Croatian Company (“Atia
project”), a real estate development company. AP Holdings is controlled by Mr.
Shalom Atia, the brother of the Company’s CEO.
On
February 16, 2007, the Company entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement (the
“Agreement”) to sell a 100% of Navigator Informatika Rt. (“Navigator”), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. For the period ended March 31,
2006, the operations of Navigator have been presented as discontinued operations
in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On
May
14, 2007, the Company entered into a Stock Transfer and Assignment of Contract
Rights Agreement (the "Stock Transfer Agreement") with ERC, ERC's principal
shareholder TIHG and ERC's wholly owned subsidiary Verge. Pursuant to the Stock
Transfer Agreement, the Company transferred and conveyed its 1,000 Shares
(representing a 43.33% interest) (the "Shares") in ERC to TIHG to submit to
ERC
for cancellation and return to Treasury. Pursuant to this Agreement, the Company
retains its original option to acquire Verge, which the Company Board will
examine with regards to the exercise of the option, if at all (see Note
7).

Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US
GAAP”).
Basis
of consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Emvelco, its
majority-owned subsidiaries and all variable interest entities for which the
Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated upon consolidation.
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Emvelco and the
subsidiaries it controls. Control is determined based on ownership rights or,
when applicable, whether the Company is considered the primary beneficiary
of a
variable interest entity. For the period from June 14, 2006 to December 30,
2006, ERC was a wholly owned subsidiary of Emvelco. As of March 31, 2007, after
the exchange with TIHG, there are no controlled subsidiaries of Emvelco. The
Company’s ownership interest in Micrologic is 25.1% and Micrologic is not
controlled by the Company.
Unaudited
Interim Financial Statements
The
accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principals for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB of Regulation S-B. They
do
not include all information and footnotes required by United States generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However,
except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the
information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2006 included in the Company’s Form SB-2 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The interim unaudited financial statements
should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in the
Form SB-2. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary
for a fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments,
have
been made. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2007 are
not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2007.
Variable
Interest Entities
Under
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46 (revised
December 2003) “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”), the
Company is required to consolidate variable interest entities (“VIE's”), where
it is the entity’s primary beneficiary. VIE's are entities in which equity
investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest
or
do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities
without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The
primary beneficiary is the party that has exposure to a majority of the expected
losses and/or expected residual returns of the VIE.
Based
on the
Company’s analysis at the date of acquisition, as well as all other
reconsideration events as defined under FIN 46R, management determined that
despite the various ownership interests, Emvelco was not the primary beneficiary
of ERC and all of its subsidiaries, including Lorraine, Stanley, AP Holdings,
and Huntley. Therefore, Emvelco does not consolidate ERC as of March 31, 2007.
The primary beneficiary of ERC is TIHG, an unrelated company, which owns 100.00%
of ERC, and will therefore consolidate ERC.
Use
of estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Fair
value of financial instruments
The
carrying values of cash equivalents, notes and loans receivable, accounts
payable, loans payable and accrued expenses approximate fair values.
Revenue
recognition
The
Company applies the provisions of Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”)
Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements” (“SAB 104”), which provides guidance on the recognition,
presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the
SEC. SAB 104 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue
and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies.
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, the product or service has been delivered, fees are fixed or
determinable, collection is probable and all other significant obligations
have
been fulfilled.
Revenues
from rent income are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the
lease. Rent income received prior to the due date is deferred.
Revenues
from property sales are recognized in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate,”
when the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer, when
the
consideration received can be reasonably determined and when Emvelco has
completed its obligations to perform certain supplementary development
activities, if any exist, at the time of the sale. Consideration is reasonably
determined and considered likely of collection when Emvelco has signed sales
agreements and has determined that the buyer has demonstrated a commitment
to
pay. The buyer’s commitment to pay is supported by the level of their initial
investment, Emvelco’ assessment of the buyer’s credit standing and Emvelco’
assessment of whether the buyer’s stake in the property is sufficient to
motivate the buyer to honor their obligation to it.
Revenue
from fixed price contracts is recognized on the percentage of
completion method. The percentage of
completion method is also used for condominium projects in which the Company
is
a real estate developer and all units have been sold prior to the completion
of
the preliminary stage and at least 25% of the project has been carried out.
Percentage of completion is measured by the percentage of costs incurred to
balance sheet date to estimated total costs. Selling, general,
and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Profit
incentives are included in revenues, when their realization is reasonably
assured. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted projects are made in
the
period in which such losses are first determined, in the amount of the
estimated loss of the full contract. Differences between estimates and actual
costs and revenues are recognized in the year in which such differences are
determined. The provision for warranties is provided at certain percentage
of
revenues, based on the preliminary calculations and best estimates of the
Company's management.
The
Company is currently under the initial phase as investor in real estate
development and, therefore, no revenue has been recognized from sale of
real estate.
Cost
of revenues
Cost
of
revenues includes the cost of real estate sold and rented as well as costs
directly attributable to the properties sold such as marketing, selling and
depreciation. For the periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, there were no
costs
of revenues.
Treasury
Stock
Treasury
stock is recorded at cost. Issuance of treasury shares is accounted for on
a
first-in, first-out basis. Differences between the cost of treasury shares
and
the re-issuance proceeds are charged to additional paid-in capital.
Foreign
currency translation
The
Company considers the United States Dollar (“US Dollar” or "$") to be the
functional currency of Emvelco and its subsidiaries, with the exception of
Navigator (presented as a discontinued operation) which has the Hungarian Forint
as its functional currency. The reporting currency of the Company is the US
Dollar and accordingly, all amounts included in the consolidated financial
statements have been presented or translated into US Dollars.
For
non-US subsidiaries that do not utilize the US Dollar as its functional
currency, assets and liabilities are translated to US Dollars at year-end
exchange rates, and income and expense items are translated at weighted-average
rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments are
recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” within stockholders’
equity.
Foreign
currency transaction gains and losses are included in the consolidated results
of operations for the periods presented.
Cash
and cash equivalents
Cash
and
cash equivalents include cash at bank and money market funds with maturities
of
three months or less at the date of acquisition by the Company.
Marketable
securities
The
Company determines the appropriate classification of all marketable securities
as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading at the time of purchase,
and
re-evaluates such classification as of each balance sheet date in accordance
with SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities” (“SFAS 115”). In accordance with Emerging Issues Task
Force (“EITF”) No. 03-01, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and
Its Application to Certain Investment” (“EITF 03-01”), the Company assesses
whether temporary or other-than-temporary gains or losses on its marketable
securities have occurred due to increases or declines in fair value or other
market conditions.
Other
than those classified within discontinued operations, the Company did not have
any marketable securities within continuing operations for the years ended
March
31, 2007, as the consideration received during the period.
Property
and equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. The Company
provides for depreciation of property and equipment using the straight-line
method over the following estimated useful lives:
Software |
|
|
3
years
|
|
Computer
equipment |
|
|
3-5
years
|
|
Other
furniture equipment and fixtures |
|
|
5-7
years
|
|
The
Company’s policy is to evaluate the appropriateness of the carrying value of
long-lived assets. If such evaluation were to indicate an impairment of assets,
such impairment would be recognized by a write-down of the applicable assets
to
the fair value. Based on the evaluation, no impairment was indicated in
accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets" (“SFAS 144”).
Equipment
purchased under capital leases is stated at the lower of fair value and the
present value of minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease, less
accumulated depreciation. The Company provides for depreciation of leased
equipment using the straight-line method over the shorter of estimated useful
life and the lease term. During the periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006,
the
Company did not enter into any capital leases.
Recurring
maintenance on property and equipment is expensed as incurred.
Any
gain
or loss on retirements and disposals is included in the results of operations
in
the period of the retirement or disposal. No retirements and disposals occurred
for the periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 for the Company’s continuing
operations.
Goodwill
and intangible assets
Goodwill
results from business acquisitions and represents the excess of purchase price
over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired at the acquisition
date.
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”,
goodwill is tested for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Management evaluates the recoverability of goodwill by comparing the carrying
value of the Company’s reporting units to their fair value. Fair value is
determined based on discounted future cash flows. There was no goodwill related
to the Company’s continuing operations for the periods ended March 31 2007 and
2006, respectively - other than Navigator which was presented as discontinued
operation.
Intangible
assets that have finite useful lives, whether or not acquired in a business
combination, are amortized over their estimated useful lives, and also reviewed
for impairment in accordance with SFAS 144. There were no intangible assets
related to the Company’s continuing operations for the periods ended March 31,
2007 and 2006, respectively.
Earnings
(loss) per share
Basic
earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) attributable
to
common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the effect of
dilutive potential common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and
warrants. There were no dilutive options and warrants for the periods ended
2007
and 2006. Stock options and warrants convertible into 690,125 and 779,067 shares
of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted
earnings per share since such options and warrants have an exercise price in
excess of the average market value of the Company’s common stock during the
periods.
Comprehensive
income
Comprehensive
income includes all changes in equity except those resulting from investments
by
and distributions to owners, or translation adjustment from foreign currency.
Business
segment reporting
The
Company manages its continuing operations on a geographic basis, and accordingly
had concluded that it has one operating segment, the US.
Income
taxes
Income
taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. 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 bases and operating
loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a
valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all
of
the deferred tax asset will not be realized. 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 deferred tax assets and liabilities of
a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.
The
Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The Company did
not
make any adjustment to opening retained earnings as a result of the
implementation. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized
tax benefits along with penalties in operating expenses. During the quarters
ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the Comapny did not recognize any interest and
penalties relating to income taxes. The Company did not have any accrual for
the
payment of interest and penalties at March 31, 2007.
Stock-based
compensation
Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based
Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). Under SFAS 123R, the Company is required to
measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of
equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The measured
cost is recognized in the statement of operations over the period during which
an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award.
Additionally, if an award of an equity instrument involves a performance
condition, the related compensation cost is recognized only if it is probable
that the performance condition will be achieved.
Prior
to
the adoption of SFAS 123R , the Company accounted for stock-based employee
compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”
(“APB 25”) and related interpretations, and chose to adopt the disclosure-only
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123,
“Accounting for Stock-based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), as amended by SFAS No.
148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure”
(“SFAS 148”). Under APB 25, the Company did not recognize expense related to
employee stock options because the exercise price of such options was equal
to
the quoted market price of the underlying stock at the grant date.
The
Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method, which requires
the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the first
day of the Company’s fiscal year 2006. Under
this method, compensation cost recognized during the year ended December 31,
2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior
to, but not yet vested, as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair
value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123 and
amortized on an straight-line basis over the requisite service period, and
(b)
compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January
1,
2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS 123R amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite
service period. Results for prior periods have not been restated.
As
a
result of adopting SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006, the Company’s loss from
continuing operations before income taxes and loss from continuing operations
are $270,695 higher and net income is $270,695 lower than if it continued to
account for share-based compensation under APB 25. Basic and diluted earnings
per share are $0.05 lower than if the Company continued to account for
share-based compensation under APB 25. The adoption of SFAS 123R had no
impact on cash flows.
See
further discussion on stock-based compensation plans.
The
Company estimates the fair value of each option award on the date of the grant
using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Expected volatilities are based
on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over a period
commensurate with the options’ expected term. The expected term represents the
period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding and is
calculated in accordance with SEC guidance provided in the SAB 107, using a
“simplified” method. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon
observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the Company’s stock
options.
The
Company did not grant any share-based payments during the year ended December
31, 2006. The following table shows total non-cash stock-based employee
compensation expense included in the consolidated statement of operations for
the year ended December 31, 2006:

3.
Line of Credit and Restricted Cash
On
August
28, 2006, the Company entered into a $4,000,000 Revolving Line of Credit (“line
of credit”) with a commercial bank. As security for this credit facility, the
Company deposited $4,000,000 into a certificate of deposit (“CD”) as collateral
for a two year period. The CD earns interest at a rate of 5.25% annually, and
any interest earned on the CD is restricted from withdrawal and must remain
in
the account for the entire term. The interest rate on the line of credit is
6%
annually.
On
November 21, 2006, the Company deposited an additional $4,000,000 into another
CD with the same restrictions on withdrawal. This CD matures on November 21,
2008 and the deposit bears an interest rate of 5.12% annually.
The
outstanding balance on the line of credit was $2,755,000 as of March 31,
2007.
4.
Investment in Micrologic, Inc.
Investment
in affiliates consists of equity investments in which the Company has no
influence on operations, rather are held for future dividends and profit
sharing. At March 31, 2007, the investment in affiliates was as follows:

On
October 11, 2006, the Company committed itself in the financing of Micrologic,
Inc. (“Micrologic”), a Nevada corporation, engaged in the design and production
of Electronic Design Automation (“EDA”) applications and Integrated Circuit
(“IC”) design processes; specifically, the development and production of the
NanoToolBoxTM
tools
suite, which is a smart platform designed to accelerate IC's design time and
shrink time to market factor. The agreement provides for an initial investment
by the Company of up to $1,000,000, with warrants to purchase additional equity
for additional investment. The Company owns 25.10% of Micrologic; however such
equity positions might be revised contingent upon the exercise of the warrants.
As of March 31, 2007, $150,000 was transferred as part of this commitment,
and
no warrants were issued. The Company has currently no influence neither sits
on
the board or management over the operation of Micrologic. As of March 31, 2007,
Micrologic has no material income or loss, therefore the $150,000 contributed
approximates the value of Emveloco’s interest using the equity method.
5.
Loans to Affiliate - Emvelco RE Corp
On
June
14, 2006, Emvelco issued a $10 million line of credit to ERC. Outstanding
balances bear interest at an annual rate of 12% and the line of credit has
a
maximum borrowing limit of $10 million. Initially on October 26, 2006 and then
again ratified on December 29, 2006, the Board of Directors of Emvelco approved
an increase in the borrowing limit of the line of credit to $20 million. The
Board also restricted use of the funds to real estate development.
At

Bank Loans
The
Company’s real estate investment operations require substantial
up-front expenditures for land development contracts and construction.
Accordingly, the Company requires a substantial amount of cash on hand, as
well
as funds accessible through lines of credit with banks or third parties, to
conduct its business. The Company has financed its working capital needs
on a project-by-project basis, primarily with loans from banks and debt via
the
All Inclusive Trust Deed Agreement (AITDA), and with the existing cash of the
Company.

Dispositions
Completed
sale of Euroweb Hungary and Euroweb Romania
On
December 15, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company decided to sell its
wholly-owned subsidiaries Euroweb Hungary and Euroweb Romania. On December
19,
2005, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with Invitel
Tavkozlesi Szolgaltato Rt., a Hungarian joint stock company, to sell Euroweb
Hungary and Euroweb Romania, subject to various conditions including, but not
limited to, shareholders’ approval. The closing of the sale of Euroweb Hungary
and Euroweb Romania occurred on May 23, 2006 upon the Company’s receipt of the
first part of the purchase price in the amount of $29,400,000. The remaining
part of the purchase price of $613,474 was fully paid in two installments:
$232,536 in June 2006 and $380,938 in the beginning of July 2006. The purchase
price was partly utilized for the repayment of $6,044,870 Commerzbank loan
in
order to ensure debt free status of the subsidiaries, and partly for settlement
of $2,130,466 of transaction costs.
Completed
sale of Navigator
On
February 16, 2007, the Company closed Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Sale and
Purchase Agreement”) with Marivaux Investments Limited (“MIL”) and Fleminghouse
Investments Limited (“FIL” and collectively with MIL, the “Buyers”). Pursuant to
the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Company sold 100% of the Company’s interest
in Navigator (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) for $4,034,191
consisting of $3,200,000 in cash and 622,531 shares of the Company’s common
stock, excluding estimated transaction costs and success fees. The Company
shares were valued at $1.34 per share, representing the closing price of the
Company on the NASDAQ Capital Market on February 16, 2007, the closing of the
sale. The Company intends to cancel the Emvelco common stock acquired during
the
disposition.
The
sale
of Euroweb Slovakia, Euroweb Hungary, Euroweb Romania, and Navigator all met
the
criteria for presentation as a discontinued operation under the provisions
of
SFAS 144, and therefore amounts relating to Euroweb Slovakia, Euroweb Hungary,
Euroweb Romania and Navigator have been reclassified as discontinued operations
for all periods presented.
Completed
sale of ERC
On
May 14,
2007, the Company entered into a Stock Transfer and Assignment of Contract
Rights Agreement (the "Stock Transfer Agreement") with ERC, ERC's principal
shareholder TIHG and ERC's wholly owned subsidiary Verge. Pursuant to the Stock
Transfer Agreement, the Company transferred and conveyed its 1,000 Shares
(representing a 43.33% interest) (the "Shares") in ERC to TIHG to submit to
ERC
for cancellation and return to Treasury. ERC, TIHG and Verge agreed to assign
(the "Assignment") to the Company all rights in and to that certain Investment
Agreement, dated as June 19, 2006, and all Amendments thereto (collectively,
the
"Investment Agreement") wherein ERC (from funds available to ERC pursuant to
the
line of credit provided by the Company) agreed to provide secured loans to
Verge
for the construction of a multi-use condominium and commercial property in
Las
Vegas, Nevada (the "Verge Property") and for other projects and properties
as
provided therein. The Investment Agreement was disclosed by the Company in
its
Form 8-K filed on June 23, 2006.
The
consideration payable to the Company under the Stock Transfer Agreement is
$500,000, which in TIHG's discretion, may be added to the outstanding loan
amount owing to the Company by ERC (the "Loan Amount"). As of May 14, 2007,
the
current outstanding Loan Amount owing to the Company is approximately $18
million. Under the Stock Transfer Agreement, in no event shall the Loan Amount
exceed eighty percent (80%) of the fair market value of the Verge Property.
Pursuant to the Stock Transfer Agreement, a current appraisal of the Verge
Property was presented to the Company on May 22, 2007, valuing the Verge
Property at $14,800,000.
The
effective date of the Stock Transfer Agreement is January 1, 2007 (the
"Effective Date"). All rights assigned to the Company under the Investment
Agreement will be considered to be assigned as of the Effective Date.
Accordingly, as of the Effective Date, the Company shall be the sole secured
and
primary beneficiary under the Investment Agreement.
As
of the
Effective Date, under the Investment Agreement, each loan made to Verge is
due
on demand or upon maturity on January 14, 2008. If the Company requests that
the
funds be paid on demand prior to maturity, then Verge shall be entitled to
reduce the amount requested to be prepaid by 10%. The 10% discount will be
paid
in the form of shares of common stock of the Company, which will be computed
by
dividing the dollar amount of the 10% discount by the market price of the
Company's shares of common stock. The terms of the loans require that the
Company, be paid-off the greater of (i) the principal including 12% interest
per
annum or (ii) 33% of all gross profits derived from the Verge Property. In
addition, the Company has the right to acquire the Verge Property for a purchase
price of $15,000,000 through January 1, 2015. The purchase is payable
$10,000,000 in cash and $5,000,000 in shares of common stock of the Company,
or
cash per the Company discretion.
The
Board
of Directors of the Company has approved the Stock Transfer Agreement and
ratified the transaction and is currently examining the exercise of the option.

On

consideration for Mr. Toro agreeing to relinquish and release all rights and
claims under the employment agreement, including the payment of his annual
salary, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Toro a one-time settlement fee of
$750,000. Mr. Toro submitted his resignation as Chief Executive Officer and

Mr.
Schnapp received 82,781 Emvelco shares of common stock of which 58,968 were

Mr. Schnapp resigned as President and Director in August 2006. Mr. Schnapp

amortization (“EBITDA”) of ERC, which such bonus is payable in shares of common
stock of the Company; provided, however, the special bonus is only payable
in
the event that Mr. Attia remains continuously employed by ERC, and Mr. Attia
shall not have sold shares of common stock of the Company on or before the
payment date of the special bonus, unless such shares were received in
connection with the exercise of an option that was scheduled to expire within
one year of the date of exercise.
In
addition, on August 14, 2006, the Company amended the agreement to provide
that
Mr. Attia shall serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company for a term
of two years commencing August 14, 2006 and granting annual compensation of

price 10 days prior to the commencement of each employment year. Mr. Attia
will
receive 111,458 Emvelco shares of common stock for his first year service.
Mr.
Attia also agreed to not directly or indirectly compete with the business of
the
Company or ERC during his employment and for a period of two years following
termination of employment. No shares were issued to Mr. Attia in
2006.
On

(b)

Agreements
In
2007,
the Company entered into a one year agreement for office space. The rent expense
related to such leases is $19,200 in 2007 and $0 in 2006,
respectively.
(c)
Legal
Proceedings
Except
as
set forth below, there are no known significant legal procedures that have
been
filed and are outstanding against the Company.
On
April
26, 2006, a lawsuit was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the "Court")
by
a stockholder of the Company against the Company, each of the Company's
Directors and CORCYRA d.o.o., a stockholder of the Company that beneficially
owned 39.81% of the Company's outstanding common stock at the date of the
lawsuit. The Complaint is entitled Laurence Paskowitz v. Csaba Toro et al.,
C.A.
No. 2110-N and was brought individually, and as a class action on behalf of
certain of the Company's common stockholders, excluding defendants and their
affiliates. The plaintiff alleged that the proposed sale of 100% of the
Company's interest in the Company's two Internet and telecom related operating
subsidiaries (the "Subsidiaries") constitutes a sale of substantially all of
the
Company's assets and required approval by a majority of the voting power of
the
Company's outstanding common stock under Section 271 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law. The plaintiff also alleged the defendants breached their
fiduciary duties in connection with the sale of the Subsidiaries, as well as
the
disclosures contained in the proxy statement filed on April 24, 2006. The
plaintiff applied for a temporary restraining order seeking to enjoin the
special meeting on May 15, 2006.
The
Company denies any and all allegations of wrongdoing; however, in the interests
of conserving resources, on April 28, 2006, the parties to the litigation
entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) providing for, subject to
confirmatory discovery by plaintiff, the negotiation of a formal stipulation
of
a settlement of the litigation. Pursuant to the MOU, the Board of Directors
of
the Company agreed to: (i) increase the vote required to approve the sale of
100% of the Company's interest in the Subsidiaries, (ii) revise the disclosure
within the Proxy Statement to eliminate the bonus of up to US $400,000, which
the Compensation Committee of the Company had the option to pay to select
members of management, as the Board of Directors had previously elected to
terminate the ability to pay such bonus and (iii) provide supplemental
disclosure as contained in the Supplemental Proxy Statement to be mailed to
stockholders and filed with the SEC on May 3, 2006.
The
parties entered into a stipulation of settlement on April 3, 2007. The
settlement will provide for dismissal of the litigation with prejudice and
is
subject to Court approval. As part of the settlement, the Company has agreed
to
attorneys' fees and expenses to plaintiff's counsel in the amount of $150,000.
Pursuant to the stipulation of settlement, the Company sent out notices to
the
members of the class on May 3, 2007. A fairness hearing will take place on
June
8, 2007.
The
Company filed a Complaint in the Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles,
against an attorney. The case was filed on February 14, 2007, and service of
process has been done. In the Complaint the Company is seeking judgment against
it this attorney in the amount of approximately $250,000, plus interest, costs
and fees. Defendant has not yet appeared in the action. The Company believes
that it has a meritorious claim for the return of monies deposited with
defendant in a trust capacity, and, from the documents in the Company’s
possession, there is no reason to doubt the validity of the claim. However,
management does not have any information on the collectibility of any judgment
that might be entered in Court. During April 2007 defendant returned
approximately $70,000 and the Company has granted him a 15-day extension to
file
his defense.
(d)
Navigator Acquisition
The
Company entered into a registration rights agreement dated July 21, 2005,
whereby it agreed to file a registration statement registering the 441,566
shares of Company common stock issued in connection with the Navigator
acquisition within 75 days of the closing of the transaction. The Company also
agreed to have such registration statement declared effective within 150 days
from the filing thereof. In the event that Company failed to meet its
obligations to register the shares, it may have been required to pay a penalty
equal to 1% of the value of the shares per month. The Company obtained a written
waiver from the seller stating that the seller would not raise any claims in
connection with the filing of registration statement through May 30, 2006.
The
Company since received another waiver extending the registration deadline
through May 30, 2007 without penalty. No provision was made, as Management
received a verbal waiver until the end of 2007, which will be formalized in
writing.
(e)
Indemnities Provided Upon Sale of Subsidiaries
On
April
15, 2005, the Company sold Euroweb Slovakia. According to the securities
purchase contract (the “Contract”); the Company will indemnify the buyer for all
damages incurred by the buyer as the result of seller’s breach of certain
representations, warranties, or obligations as set in the Contract up to an
aggregate amount of $540,000. The buyer shall not be entitled to make any claim
under the Contract after the fourth anniversary of the date of the Contract.
No
claims have been made to-date. At March 31, 2007 the Company accrued $35,000
as
the estimated fair value of this indemnity.
On
May
23, 2006, the Company sold Euroweb Hungary and Euroweb Romania. According to
the
share purchase agreement (the “SPA”), the Company will indemnify the buyer for
all damages incurred by the buyer as the result of seller’s breach of certain
representations, warranties or obligations as provided for in the SPA. The
Company shall not incur any liability with respect to any claim for breach
of
representation and warranty or indemnity, and any such claim shall be wholly
barred and unenforceable unless notice of such claim is served upon Emvelco
by
buyer no later than 60 days after the buyer’s approval of Euroweb Hungary and
Euroweb Romania’s statutory financial reports for the fiscal year 2006, but in
any event no later than June 1, 2007. In the case of Clause 8.1.6 (Taxes) or
Clause 9.2.4 of SPA, the time period is five years from the last day of the
calendar year in which the closing date occurs. No claims have been made to
date. At March 31, 2007, the Company has accrued $201,020 as the estimated
fair
value of this indemnity.
9.
Stockholders’ Equity
The
Company entered into a two-year employment agreement with Moshe Schnapp as
President and Director of the Company beginning on April 15, 2005, which
provided for annual compensation in the amount of $250,000 to be paid in the
form of the Company shares of common stock. The number of shares to be received
by Mr. Schnapp was calculated based on the average closing price 10 days prior
to the commencement of each employment year. On August 14, 2006, Moshe Schnapp
resigned as President of the Company. In January 2006, the Company issued 58,968
shares of common stock out of the total 82,781 covering the service period
from
April 15, 2005 to December 31, 2005. In July 2006, the Company issued the
remaining 46,007 shares of common stock for services from January 1, 2006
through July 31, 2006. Mr. Schnapp waived his rights to any further
compensation.
Effective
August 14, 2006, the Company entered into a two-year employment agreement with
Yossi Attia as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, which provided for
annual compensation in the amount of $250,000 to be paid in the form of Company
shares of common stock. The number of shares to be received by Mr. Attia was
calculated based on the average closing price 10 days prior to the commencement
of each employment year. Mr. Attia will receive 111,458 Emvelco shares of common
stock for his first year service. No shares have been issued in connection
with
his services in 2006.
Through
its share repurchase program and Navigator sale, the Company acquired 1,190,130
shares of its common stock at a cost of $1,981,585 as of March 31,
2007.
On
May
31, 2007, the Company, ERC and Mr. Attia entered into a MOU, which resulted
in
the termination of Mr. Attia’s employment with ERC, cancelling the Amendment of
August 14, 2006 and effective January 1, 2007 assuming all of the terms of
employment of Mr. Attia with the Company instead of ERC. The negation of the
Amendment effectively cancels Mr. Attia’s rights to share compensation from
January 1, 2007, and will instead entitle Mr. Attia to a pro-ration number
of
shares from August 14, 2006 until December 31, 2006. The Company made the
provision for Mr. Attia’s shareholder equity entitlement in its financial
statements.
There
were no options or warrants exercised in the periods ended March 31,
2007.
Pursuant
to the Sale and Purchase Agreement of Navigator, the Company got on closing
(2/16/2007) 622,531 shares of the Company’s common stock as partial
consideration. The Company shares were valued at $1.34 per share, representing
the closing price of the Company on the NASDAQ Capital Market on February 16,
2007, the closing of the sale. The Company intends to cancel the Emvelco common
stock acquired during the disposition in the amount of $834,192.
Through
its share repurchase program and the sale of Navigator, the Company acquired
1,190,130 shares of its common stock at a cost of $1,981,585 as of March 31,
2007.
10.
Stock Option Plan and Employee Options
a)
Stock
option plans
In
2004,
the Board of Directors established the “2004 Incentive Plan” (“the Plan”), with
an aggregate of 800,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance under
the
Plan. The Plan was approved by the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders in
May 2004. In 2005, the Plan was adjusted to increase the number of shares of
common stock issuable under such plan from 800,000 shares to 1,200,000 shares.
The adjustment was approved at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders in
June 2005. The Plan provides that incentive and nonqualified options may be
granted to key employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company
for
the purpose of providing an incentive to those persons. The Plan may be
administered by either the Board of Directors or a committee of two directors
appointed by the Board of Directors (the "Committee"). The Board of Directors
or
Committee determines, among other things, the persons to whom stock options
are
granted, the number of shares subject to each option, the date or dates upon
which each option
may be exercised and the exercise price per share.
Options
granted under the Plan are generally exercisable for a period of up to ten
years
from the date of grant. Incentive options granted to stockholders that hold
in excess of 10% of the total combined voting power or value of all classes
of
stock of the Company must have an exercise price of not less than 110% of the
fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of the grant.
The
Company
will not grant a nonqualified option with an exercise price less than 85% of
the
fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant.
The
Company has granted the following options under the Plan:
On
April
26, 2004, the Company granted 125,000 options to its Chief Executive Officer,
an
aggregate of 195,000 options to five employees and an aggregate of 45,000
options to two consultants of the Company (which do not qualify as employees).
The stock options granted to the Chief Executive Officer vest at the rate of
31,250 options on November 1, 2004, October 1, 2005, October 1, 2006 and October
1, 2007. The stock options granted to the other employees and consultants vest
at the rate of 80,000 options on November 1, 2004, October 1, 2005 and October
1, 2006. The exercise price of the options ($4.78) was equal to the market
price
on the date of grant. The options granted to the Chief
Executive Officer
were
forfeited/ cancelled in August 2006 due to the termination of his employment.
Of
the 195,000 options originally granted to employees, 60,000 options were
forfeited or cancelled during 2005, while the remaining 135,000 options were
forfeited or cancelled in August 2006 due to termination of the five employee
contracts. 15,000
options granted to one of the consultants were also forfeited or cancelled
in
April 2006 due to the termination of the consultant’s contract.
Through
December 31, 2005, the Company did not recognize compensation expense under
APB
25 for the options granted to the Chief Executive Officer and the five employees
as the options had a zero intrinsic value at the date of grant. The adoption
of
SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006 resulted in a compensation charge of $21,241 for
the year ended December 31, 2006.
In
accordance with SFAS 123, as amended by SFAS 123R, and EITF Issue No. 96-18,
“Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for
Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”, the Company
computed total compensation charges of $162,000 for the grants made to the
two
consultants. Such compensation charges are recognized over the vesting period
of
three years. Compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 was
$9,921 (2005: $50,884).
On
March
22, 2005, the Company granted an aggregate of 200,000 options to two of the
Company’s Directors. These stock options vest at the rate of 50,000 options on
each September 22 of 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. The exercise
price
of the options ($3.40) was equal to the market price on the date the options
were granted. Through December 31, 2005, the Company did not recognize
compensation expense under APB 25 as the options had a zero intrinsic value
at
the date of grant. The adoption of SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006 resulted in
a
compensation charge of $128,284 for the year ended December 31, 2006. One of
the
directors was elected as Chief Executive Officer commencing on August 14, 2006,
and is not entitled to participate in the plan.
On
June
2, 2005, the Company granted 100,000 options to a director of the Company,
which
vest at the rate of 25,000 options on December 2 of 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008,
respectively. Through December 31, 2005, the Company did not recognize
compensation expense under APB 25 as the options had a zero intrinsic value
at
the date of grant. The adoption of SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006 resulted in
a
compensation charge of $89,346 for the year ended December 31, 2006. On November
13, 2006, the Director filed his resignation. His options were vested
unexercised in February 2007.
On
October 13, 2003, the Company granted two Directors 100,000 options each, at
an
exercise price (equal to the market price on that day) of $4.21 per share,
with
25,000 options vesting on each April 13, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. There were
100,000 options outstanding as of December 31, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 123R
on January 1, 2006 resulted in a compensation charge of $31,824 during the
year
ended December 31, 2006.

7, 2005, the Company granted 100,000 warrants to a consulting company as
compensation for investor relations services at exercise prices as follows:
40,000 warrants at $3.50 per share, 20,000 warrants at $4.25 per share, 20,000
warrants at $4.75 per share and 20,000 warrants at $5 per share. The warrants
have a term of five years and tranches vest proportionately at a rate of a
total
8,333 warrants per month over a one year period. The warrants are being expensed
over the performance period of one year. In February 2006, the Company
terminated its contract with the consultant company providing investor relation
services. The warrants granted under the contract were reduced
time-proportionally to 83,330, based on the time in service by the consultant
company.

Treasury Stock
In
June
2006, the Company's Board of Directors approved a program to repurchase, from
time to time, at management's discretion, up to 700,000 shares of the Company's
common stock in the open market or in private transactions commencing on June
20, 2006 and continuing through December 15, 2006 at prevailing market prices.
Repurchases will be made under the program using our own cash resources and
will
be in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and
other applicable laws, rules and regulations. The Shemano Group is acting as
agent for our stock repurchase program. As of March 31, 2007, the Company
acquired 1,190,130 shares of its common stock at a cost of
$1,981,585.
Pursuant

purchased.
Pursuant
to the Sale and Purchase Agreement of Navigator, the Company got on closing
(2/16/2007) 622,531 shares of the Company’s common stock as partial
consideration. The Company shares were valued at $1.34 per share, representing
the closing price of the Company on the NASDAQ Capital Market on February 16,
2007, the closing of the sale. The Company intends to cancel the Emvelco common
stock acquired during the disposition in the amount of $834,192.

Subsequent events
On
May
14, 2007, the Company entered into a Stock Transfer Agreement with ERC, ERC's
principal shareholder TIHG and ERC's wholly owned subsidiary Verge. Pursuant
to
the Stock Transfer Agreement, the Company transferred and conveyed its 1,000
Shares (representing a 43.33% interest) (the "Shares") in ERC to TIHG to submit
to ERC for cancellation and return to Treasury. ERC, TIHG and Verge agreed
to
assign (the "Assignment") to the Company all rights in and to the Investment
Agreement, wherein ERC (from funds available to ERC pursuant to the line of
credit provided by Company) agreed to provide secured loans to Verge for the
construction of a multi-use condominium and commercial property in Las Vegas,
Nevada (the "Verge Property") and for other projects and properties as provided
therein. The Investment Agreement was disclosed by the Company in its Form
8-K
filed on June 23, 2006.
The
consideration payable to the Company under the Stock Transfer Agreement is
$500,000, which in TIHG's discretion, may be added to the outstanding loan
amount owing to the Company by ERC (the "Loan Amount"). As of May 14, 2007,
the
current outstanding Loan Amount owing to the Company is approximately $12
million. Under the Stock Transfer Agreement, in no event shall the Loan Amount
exceed eighty percent (80%) of the fair market value of the Verge Property.
Pursuant to the Stock Transfer Agreement, a current appraisal of the Verge
Property was presented to the Company on May 22, 2007, valuing the Verge
Property at $14,800,000.
The
effective date of the Stock Transfer Agreement is January 1, 2007 (the
"Effective Date"). All rights assigned to the Company under the Investment
Agreement will be considered to be assigned as of the Effective Date.
Accordingly, as of the Effective Date, the Company shall be the sole secured
and
primary beneficiary under the Investment Agreement.
As
of the
Effective Date, under the Investment Agreement, each loan made to Verge is
due
on demand or upon maturity on January 14, 2008. If the Company requests that
the
funds be paid on demand prior to maturity, then Verge shall be entitled to
reduce the amount requested to be prepaid by 10%. The 10% discount will be
paid
in the form of shares of common stock of the Company, which will be computed
by
dividing the dollar amount of the 10% discount by the market price of the
Company's shares of common stock. The terms of the loans require that the
Company, be paid-off the greater of (i) the principal including 12% interest
per
annum or (ii) 33% of all gross profits derived from the Verge Property. In
addition, the Company has the right to acquire the Verge Property for a purchase
price of $15,000,000 through January 1, 2015. The purchase is payable in
$10,000,000 in cash and $5,000,000 in shares of common stock of the Company.
The
Board
of Directors of the Company has approved the Agreement and ratified the
transaction.
On
May
31, 2007 the Company, ERC and Mr. Attia entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding, pursuant to which, the August 14, 2006 amendment to Mr. Attia’s
employment agreement was terminated, and effective as of January 1, 2007, all
of
ERC’s rights and obligations under Mr. Attia’s employment agreement were
transferred to the Company, or cash per the Company discretion.
ITEM
2. Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
Overview
Emvelco
operates in the US. For the period from June 11, 2006 through December 30,
2006,
Emvelco RE Corp (“ERC”) was a wholly owned subsidiary of Emvelco. On December
31, 2006, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with TIHG, whereby
TIHG
became the primary beneficiary of ERC. Thus, the Company is not required to
consolidate ERC, but rather report the Company’s interest in ERC by using the
equity method. On May 14, 2007, the Company entered into a Stock Transfer and
Assignment of Contract Rights Agreement (the "Agreement") with ERC, ERC's
principal shareholder TIHG and ERC's wholly owned subsidiary Verge. Pursuant
to
the Agreement, the Company transferred and conveyed its 1,000 Shares
(representing a 43.33% interest) (the "Shares") in ERC to TIHG to submit to
ERC
for cancellation and return to Treasury. ERC, TIHG and Verge agreed to assign
(the "Assignment") to the Company all rights in and to that certain Investment
Agreement, dated as June 19, 2006, and all Amendments thereto (collectively,
the
"Investment Agreement") wherein ERC (from funds available to ERC from the
Company) agreed to provide secured loans to Verge for the construction of a
multi-use condominium and commercial property in Las Vegas, Nevada (the "Verge
Property").
The
Company’s position is based on a detailed analysis conducted by management of
FASB Interpretation No. 46R: Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an
interpretation of ARB No. 51 (“FIN 46R”), the accounting pronouncements
governing consolidation.
Under
its
FIN 46R analysis, the Company determined that ERC is a variable interest entity.
This in turn required a determination as to which enterprise is the primary
beneficiary. The Company determined that TIHG, rather than Emvelco, is the
primary beneficiary. The Company performed an analysis of the calculated
expected losses of ERC. Of these amounts 56.67% was allocated to TIHG. Because
Emvelco is not the primary beneficiary of ERC, Emvelco should not consolidate
ERC under FIN 46R, but should report the 43.33% interest in ERC using the equity
method. Accordingly, TIHG should consolidate ERC.
As
a
result of the Company’s analysis set forth above, the Company determined that,
under FIN 46R, the Company will not consolidate ERC for the year ended December
31, 2006.
On
May
14, 2007, the Company entered into a Stock Transfer and Assignment of Contract
Rights Agreement (the "Stock Transfer Agreement") with ERC, ERC's principal
shareholder TIHG and ERC's wholly owned subsidiary Verge. Pursuant to the Stock
Transfer Agreement, the Company transferred and conveyed its 1,000 Shares
(representing a 43.33% interest) (the "Shares") in ERC to TIHG to submit to
ERC
for cancellation and return to Treasury. ERC, TIHG and Verge agreed to assign
(the "Assignment") to the Company all rights in and to that certain Investment
Agreement, dated as June 19, 2006, and all Amendments thereto (collectively,
the
"Investment Agreement") wherein ERC (from funds available to ERC pursuant to
a
line of credit provided by the Company) agreed to provide secured loans to
Verge
for the construction of a multi-use condominium and commercial property in
Las
Vegas, Nevada (the "Verge Property").
On
December 15, 2005, our Board of Directors decided to sell 100% of Euroweb
Internet Szolgaltato Rt. ("Euroweb Hungary") and Euroweb Romania S.A. ("Euroweb
Romania"). On December 19, 2005, the Company entered into a share purchase
agreement with third party - Invitel Tavkozlesi Szolgaltato Rt. ("Invitel"),
a
Hungarian joint stock company, to sell 100% of the Company’s interest in Euroweb
Hungary and Euroweb Romania. The closing of the sale of Euroweb Hungary and
Euroweb Romania occurred on May 23, 2006 upon our receipt of the first part
of
the purchase price of $29,400,000. The remaining part of the purchase price
of
$613,474 was fully paid in two installments: $232,536 in June and $380,938
in
the beginning of July 2006. The purchase price was partly utilized for the
repayment of $6,044,870 Commerzbank loan in order to ensure debt free status
of
the subsidiaries, and partly for settlement of $2,130,466 of transaction
costs.
On
February 16, 2007, the Company completed the sale of Navigator for $3,200,000
in
cash and the transfer to the Company of 622,531 shares of the Company. The
closing of the sale of Navigator occurred on February 16, 2007. On May 3, 2007
the Company surrendered said 622,531 stock certificates together with stock
powers to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company the Company’s transfer
agent for return to Treasury and cancellation.
The
sale
of Euroweb Slovakia, Euroweb Hungary, Euroweb Romania and Navigator met the
criteria for presentation as discontinued operations under the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (“SFAS 144”). Therefore,
Euroweb Slovakia, Euroweb Hungary, Euroweb Romania and Navigator are
reclassified as discontinued operations in the financial statements of the
Company in 2006.
The
Company operates in financial investment in real estate development for
subsequent sales, investment and financing activities, directly or through
affiliates currently in the USA.
In
June
2006, the Company commenced operations in financial investments in the real
estate industry through ERC and its subsidiaries. ERC has commenced developments
in the real estate industry, which must satisfy the parameters set by the Board
of Directors as follows:
|
·
|
Any
investment in the real estate opportunity (the “Proposed RE Investment”),
including loans, shall not exceed a planned period of three
years;
|
|
·
|
The
expected return on investment on the Proposed RE Investment will
be at
minimum 15% per year;
|
|
·
|
The
Proposed RE Investment will not be leveraged in excess of more than
$1.50
for each $1.00 invested in equity;
and
|
|
·
|
Each
Proposed RE Investment will have a clear exit strategy (i.e. purchase,
development and sale) and no Proposed RE Investment intent will be
to
acquire income producing real
estate.
|
On
May 14,
2007, the Company entered into a Stock Transfer and Assignment of Contract
Rights Agreement (the "Stock Transfer Agreement") with ERC, ERC's principal
shareholder TIHG and ERC's wholly owned subsidiary Verge. Pursuant to the Stock
Transfer Agreement, the Company transferred and conveyed its 1,000 Shares
(representing a 43.33% interest) (the "Shares") in ERC to TIHG to submit to
ERC
for cancellation and return to Treasury. ERC, TIHG and Verge agreed to assign
(the "Assignment") to the Company all rights in and to that certain Investment
Agreement, dated as June 19, 2006, and all Amendments thereto (collectively,
the
"Investment Agreement") wherein ERC (from funds available to ERC pursuant to
the
line of credit provided the Company) agreed to provide secured loans to Verge
for the construction of a multi-use condominium and commercial property in
Las
Vegas, Nevada (the "Verge Property") and for other projects and properties
as
provided therein.
The
consideration payable to the Company under the Stock Transfer Agreement is
$500,000, which in TIHG's discretion, may be added to the outstanding loan
amount owing to the Company by ERC (the "Loan Amount"). As of May 14, 2007,
the
current outstanding Loan Amount owing to the Company is approximately $12
million. Under the Stock Transfer Agreement, in no event shall the Loan Amount
exceed eighty percent (80%) of the fair market value of the Verge Property.
Pursuant to the Stock Transfer Agreement, a current appraisal of the Verge
Property was presented to the Company on May 22, 2007, valuing the Verge
Property at $14,800,000. The effective date of the Stock Transfer Agreement
is
January 1, 2007 (the "Effective Date"). All rights assigned to the Company
under
the Investment Agreement will be considered to be assigned as of the Effective
Date. Accordingly, as of the Effective Date, the Company shall be the sole
secured and primary beneficiary under the Investment Agreement.
As
of the
Effective Date, under the Investment Agreement, each loan made to Verge is
due
on demand or upon maturity on January 14, 2008. If the Company requests that
the
funds be paid on demand prior to maturity, then Verge shall be entitled to
reduce the amount requested to be prepaid by 10%. The 10% discount will be
paid
in the form of shares of common stock of the Company, which will be computed
by
dividing the dollar amount of the 10% discount by the market price of the
Company's shares of common stock. The terms of the loans require that the
Company, be paid-off the greater of (i) the principal including 12% interest
per
annum or (ii) 33% of all gross profits derived from the Verge Property. In
addition, the Company has the right to acquire the Verge Property for a purchase
price of $15,000,000 through January 1, 2015. The purchase is payable in
$10,000,000 in cash and $5,000,000 in shares of common stock of the Company
or
all cash per the Company’s discretion.
In
June
2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a program to repurchase, from
time to time, at management's discretion, up to 700,000 shares of Euroweb's
common stock in the open market or in private transactions commencing on June
20, 2006 and continuing through December 15, 2006 at prevailing market prices.
Repurchases will be made under the program using our own cash resources and
will
be in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and
other applicable laws, rules and regulations. The Shemano Group act as agent
for
our stock repurchase program. As of March 31, 2007, the Company held 1,190,130
treasury shares at a cost of $1,981,585.
Pursuant
to the unanimous consent of the Board of Directors in September 2006, the number
of shares that may be purchased under the Repurchase Program was increased
from
700,000 to 1,500,000 shares of common stock and the Repurchase Program was
extended until October 1, 2007 or until the increased amount of shares is
purchased.
Acquisitions
and disposals
(a)
On
December 31, 2006, the Company and its subsidiary ERC entered into an Agreement
and Plan of Exchange with Verge and its sole shareholder, TIHG. Pursuant to
the
Exchange Agreement, ERC issued shares to TIHG in exchange for 100% of the
outstanding securities of Verge. After the exchange, the Company owned 43.33%
of
ERC, TIHG owned 56.67% and Verge became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ERC.
In
accordance with FAS141, Business
Combinations,
the
transaction was valued based on the fair value of Verge, the acquired company,
which was supported by a current appraisal at the time of the transaction.
(b)
Disposal of Euroweb Hungary, Euroweb Romania, Navigator and ERC
On
May
23, 2006, the closing of the sale of Euroweb Hungary and Euroweb Romania
occurred upon our receipt of the first part of the purchase price of
$29,400,000. The remaining part of the purchase price of $613,474 was fully
paid
in two installments: $232,536 in June and $380,938 in the beginning of July
2006. The purchase price was partly utilized for the repayment of $6,044,870
Commerzbank loan in order to ensure debt free status of the subsidiaries, and
partly for settlement of $2,130,466 of transaction costs.
On
February 16, 2007, the Company completed the sale of Navigator for $3,200,000
in
cash and the transfer to the Company of 622,531 shares of the Company for
cancellation. The closing of the sale of Navigator occurred on February 16,
2007. On May 3, 2007 the Company surrendered said 622,531 stock certificates
together with stock powers to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company the
Company’s transfer agent for cancellation and return to Treasury.
On
May
14, 2007, pursuant to the Stock Transfer Agreement, the Company transferred
and
conveyed its 1,000 Shares (representing a 43.33% interest) in ERC to TIHG to
submit to ERC for cancellation and return to Treasury. ERC, TIHG and Verge
agreed to assign to the Company all rights in and to the Investment
Agreement.
Plan
of operation
The
Company’s plan of operation for the next 12 months will include the following
components:
We
plan
to finance and invest in development of ERC existing projects (Stanley, Huntley,
Harper, Lorraine and Verge), including obtaining financing of Verge Living
for
the purpose of commencing or continuing the projects in 2007, potentially as
a
mezzanine lender with equity rider. Our plan is to proceed with financial
investment in real estate developments in the US. This phase of development
will
include the following elements:
(a)
Attempting to take a financing role in raising bond or debt financing through
Verge and AP Holdings if possible. Any cash receipt from financing will be
utilized partly by the Company’s financial investment in real estate
developments in the US. In connection with Verge and AP Holdings’ financing, the
Company anticipates spending approximately $500,000 on professional fees over
the next 12 months in order to pursue these attempts.
(b)
Verge
Project - Verge is pursuing construction loan and mezzanine financing for the
Verge Property. The Company is seeking to participate in financing of a
construction loan though a commercial bank and/or private investors potentially
as mezzanine lender with equity rider, as well as considering the possible
exercise of the Company’s option to purchase the Verge Property, and timing
thereof.
(c)
The
Company completed the sale of the Company’s ownership interest in ERC, pursuant
to which all rights in and to the Investment Agreement were assigned to the
Company. The Board of Directors wishes to maintain cash liquidity, and,
therefore has instructed management to limit the line of credit provided to
Verge as a percentage of the fair value of the Verge Property.
(d)
The
Company anticipates spending approximately $200,000 on professional fees over
the next 12 months on the filing of a registration statement on Form SB-2 under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
(e)
Subject to obtaining adequate financing, the Company anticipate that it will
be
spending approximately $5,000,000 over the next 12 month period pursuing its
stated plan of investment operation. The Company’s present cash reserves are not
sufficient for it to carry out its plan of operation without substantial
additional financing. The Company is currently attempting to arrange for
financing through mezzanine arrangements that would enable it to proceed with
its plan of investment operation.
(f)
The
Company will continue treasury share repurchase program. Based on the stock
price as of March 31, 2007, approximately $2 million cash is needed for the
completion of the program. The repurhase program however is contingent on the
financial ability of the Company as well as available shares and share prices
on
the open market.
(g)
The
Company’s investment in Micrologic is expected to mature during 2007. The
outstanding amount of commitment is $850,000. Micrologic believes it will have
developed products in 2007 of which there is no guarantee. The Company owns
25.1% of Micrologic along with an option to acquire additional 24.9%. Upon
actual sales or final tools development, if any, the Company will revaluate
its
option. If the Company elects to exercise its option, consolidation of
Micrologic may add elements of income or losses which we can not quantify as
of
now.
The
Company’s actual expenditures and business plan may differ from the one stated
above. Its board of directors may decide not to pursue this plan as a whole
or
part of it. In addition, the Company may modify the plan based on available
financing.
The
US
real estate market trends are toward a soft market in the last year. Management
believe that the “softer market” is due to the Federal Reserve Bank Policy of
raising interest rates (in order to depress inflation trends). Rising interest
rates make financing more expensive, and more difficult to get. The Company
anticipates that it will be spending approximately $5,000,000 over the next
12
month period pursuing its stated plan of investment operation. The Company
believes that its liquidity will be enough for implementing its plan, and the
Company anticipates that subject to actual pre-sales, it will obtain financing
to complete its projects in the short-term as well as in the long-term. If
actual sales will not be adequate, the Company will not continue spending its
existing cash, and therefore anticipates that it can avoid liquidity
problems.
The
Company’s primary source of liquidity comes from divesting its ISP business in
Central Eastern Europe, which was concluded on May 2006, when it completed
the
disposal of Euroweb Hungary and Euroweb Romania to Invitel. In February 2007,
the Company closed the disposal of Navigator, which added approximately $3.2
million net of cash to its internal source of liquidity.
Our
external source of liquidity is based on a project by project basis. The Company
intends to obtain financial investment in land and construction loans from
commercial lenders for its development activities.
The
residential real estate markets in Southern California, Nevada and Croatia
are
more active during spring and summer. It is the Company’s desire complete its
financial development during the summer, to increase the potential for a fast
sale. In some jurisdictions, such as Nevada, regulations allow selling of units
off-plans. The Company anticipates that these seasonal factors should not affect
the Company’s financial condition or results of operation, though they may
moderately affect the liquidity position of the Company.
Critical
Accounting Estimates
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
are
based upon our consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
of
America ("US GAAP"). This preparation requires management to make estimates
and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. US GAAP
provides the framework from which to make these estimates, assumptions and
disclosures. We choose accounting policies within US GAAP that management
believes are appropriate to accurately and fairly report our operating results
and financial position in a consistent manner. Management regularly assesses
these policies in light of current and forecasted economic conditions. Although
we believe that our estimates, assumptions and judgments are reasonable, they
are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ
significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments or
conditions for a number of reasons. Our accounting policies are stated in Note
2
to the 2006 Consolidated Financial Statements. We identified the following
accounting policies as critical to understanding the results of operations
and
representative of the more significant judgments and estimates used in the
preparation of the consolidated financial statements: impairment of goodwill,
allowance for doubtful accounts, acquisition related assets and liabilities,
accounting of income taxes and analysis of FIN46R as well as FASB 67.

Investment
in Real Estate and Commercial Leasing Assets. Real estate held for
sale
and construction in progress is stated at the lower of cost or fair
value
less costs to sell and includes acreage, development, construction
and
carrying costs and other related costs through the development stage.
Commercial leasing assets, which are held for use, are stated at
cost.
When events or circumstances indicate than an asset’s carrying amount may
not be recoverable, an impairment test is performed in accordance
with the
provisions of SFAS 144. For properties held for sale, if estimated
fair
value less costs to sell is less than the related carrying amount,
then a
reduction of the assets carrying value to fair value less costs to
sell is
required. For properties held for use, if the projected undiscounted
cash
flow from the asset is less than the related carrying amount, then
a
reduction of the carrying amount of the asset to fair value is required.
Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair value of
the
asset. Generally, we determine fair value using valuation techniques
such
as discounted expected future cash
flows.
|
Our
expected future cash flows are affected by many factors including:
a)
The
economic condition of the Las Vegas, Nevada and Los Angeles, California
market;
b)
The
performance of the real estate industry in the markets where our properties
are
located;
c)
Our
financial condition, which may influence our ability to develop our real estate;
and
d)
Governmental regulations.
Because
any one of these factors could substantially affect our estimate of future
cash
flows, this is a critical accounting policy because these estimates could result
in us either recording or not recording an impairment loss based on different
assumptions. Impairment losses are generally substantial charges. We are
currently in the beginning state of development of real estates, therefore
no
impairment is required. Any impairment charge would more likely than not have
a
material effect on our results of operations.
The
estimate of our future revenues is also important because it is the basis of
our
development plans and also a factor in our ability to obtain the financing
necessary to complete our development plans. If our estimates of future cash
flows from our properties differ from expectations, then our financial and
liquidity position may be compromised, which could result in our default under
certain debt instruments or result in our suspending some or all of our
development activities.
|
·
|
Allocation
of Overhead Costs. We periodically capitalize a portion of our overhead
costs and also allocate a portion of these overhead costs to cost
of sales
based on the activities of our employees that are directly engaged
in
these activities. In order to accomplish this procedure, we periodically
evaluate our “corporate” personnel activities to see what, if any, time is
associated with activities that would normally be capitalized or
considered part of cost of sales. After determining the appropriate
aggregate allocation rates, we apply these factors to our overhead
costs
to determine the appropriate allocations. This is a critical accounting
policy because it affects our net results of operations for that
portion
which is capitalized. In accordance with paragraph 7 of SFAS No.
67, we
only capitalize direct and indirect project costs associated with
the
acquisition, development and construction of a real estate project.
Indirect costs include allocated costs associated with certain pooled
resources (such as office supplies, telephone and postage) which
are used
to support our development projects, as well as general and administrative
functions. Allocations of pooled resources are based only on those
employees directly responsible for development (i.e. project manager
and
subordinates). We charge to expense indirect costs that do not clearly
relate to a real estate project such as salaries and allocated expenses
related to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer.

|
Revenue
Recognition. In accordance with SFAS No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real
Estate,” we recognize revenues from property sales when the risks and
rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer, when the consideration
received can be reasonably determined and when we have completed
our
obligations to perform certain supplementary development activities,
if
any exist, at the time of the sale. Consideration is reasonably determined
and considered likely of collection when we have signed sales agreements
and have determined that the buyer has demonstrated a commitment
to pay.
The buyer’s commitment to pay is supported by the level of their initial
investment, our assessment of the buyer’s credit standing and our
assessment of whether the buyer’s stake in the property is sufficient to
motivate the buyer to honor its obligation to us. This is a critical
accounting policy because for certain sales, we use our judgment
to
determine the buyer’s commitment to pay us and thus determine when it is
proper to recognize revenues.
|
We
recognize our rental income based on the terms of our signed leases with tenants
on a straight-line basis. We recognize sales commissions and management and
development fees when earned, as lots or acreages are sold or when the services
are performed.
|
·
|
Accounting
for Income Taxes: We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities
for the
expected future tax consequences of transactions and events. Under
this
method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based
on the
difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets
and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which
the
differences are expected to reverse. If necessary, deferred tax assets
are
reduced by a valuation allowance to an amount that is determined
to be
more likely than not recoverable. We must make significant estimates
and
assumptions about future taxable income and future tax consequences
when
determining the amount of the valuation allowance. In addition, tax
reserves are based on significant estimates and assumptions as to
the
relative filing positions and potential audit and litigation exposures
related thereto. To the extent the Company establishes a valuation
allowance or increases this allowance in a period, the impact will
be
included in the tax provision in the statement of operations.

Commitments
and contingencies
Effective
July 1, 2006, the Company entered into a five-year employment agreement with
Yossi Attia as the President of ERC which commenced on July 1, 2006 and provides
for annual compensation of $240,000 and an annual bonus of not less than
$120,000 per year, as well as an annual car allowance for the same period.
Mr.
Attia will be entitled to a special bonus equal to 10% of the earnings before
interest, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) of ERC, which such bonus is
payable in shares of common stock of the Company; provided, however, the special
bonus is only payable in the event that Mr. Attia remains continuously employed
by ERC and Mr. Attia shall not have sold shares of common stock of the Company
on or before the payment date of the Special Bonus unless such shares were
received in connection with the exercise of an option that was scheduled to
expire within one year of the date of exercise. In addition, on August 14,
2006,
the Company amended the Agreement to provide that Mr. Attia shall serve as
the
Chief Executive Officer of the Company for a term of two years commencing August
14, 2006 and granting annual compensation of $250,000 to be paid in the form
of
Company shares of common stock. The number of shares to be received by Mr.
Attia
was calculated based on the average closing price 10 days prior to the
commencement of each employment year. Mr. Attia will receive 111,458 shares
of
the Company’s common stock for his first year service. No shares have been
issued to date. The financial statements accrued the liability toward Mr. Attia
employment agreements.
On
May
31, 2007 the Company, ERC and Mr. Attia entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding, pursuant to which, the August 14, 2006 amendment to Mr. Attia’s
employment agreement was terminated, and effective as of January 1, 2007, ERC’s
rights and obligations under Mr. Attia’s employment agreement were transferred
to the Company.
According
to the Term Sheet that will be formally documented in an Agreement with
associated exhibits, License Agreement and Warrants by and between the Company
and Dr. Danny Rittman in connection with the formation and initial funding
of
Micrologic for the design and production of EDA applications and Integrated
Circuit ("IC") design processes. The Term Sheet provides for an initial
investment by the Company of up to $1,000,000, with warrants to purchase
additional equity for additional investment. Initially, the Company owns 25.1%
and Dr. Rittman owns 74.9% of Micrologic, Inc. but such equity positions would
be revised depending upon the exercise of the warrants as follows: (1) Warrant
A
- the Company shall be granted a two year option to acquire an additional 10%
of
Micrologic for $1 million (2) Warrant B - the Company shall be granted a three
year option to acquire an additional 15% of Micrologic for $3 million. The
consideration of warrants A and B can be paid at the discretion of the Company,
50% in cash and 50% in the Company’s shares. No warrants have been issued. The
outstanding amount of the Company’s investment in Micrologic is $150,000 as of
March 31, 2007.

Results
of Operations
Three
Months Period Ended March 31, 2007 Compared

Due
to
the new financial investment in real estate activity, which commenced in June
2006 and the discontinued operation presentation of Euroweb Hungary, Euroweb
Romania, Euroweb Slovakia and Navigator, the consolidated statements of
operations for the periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are not comparable.
The
financial figures for 2007 only include the corporate expenses of the Company’s
legal entity registered in the State of Delaware, as the Company commenced
its
financial investment in real estate related activity with related revenues
and
costs in June 2006.

An
amount
of $618,405 increase in interest income is attributable to the fact that the
Company has realized over $21 million net cash on the sale of Euroweb Hungary
and Euroweb Romania, which was partly invested into money market funds and
certificate of deposits. The increase in interest expense of $56,851 was due
to
the line of credit outstanding during the three months ended March 31,
2007.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The
Company currently anticipates that its available cash resources will be
sufficient to meet its presently anticipated working capital requirements for
at
least the next 12 months
As
of
March 31, 2007, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were
approximately $0.7 million, a decrease of approximately $2.1 million from the
end of fiscal year 2006. Due to cash consumption of investments in the three
month period ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, cash flow provided by (used in)
operation did not offset the cash used in financing and investing activities
neither in the three months ended March 31, 2007 nor in the three months ended
March 31, 2006.
Cash
flow
provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2007
was
$63,123 and $1,249,255 cash used in operating activities in the months ended
March 31, 2006. The $1,312,378 change is due to disposal of operations of some
units incurring losses.
Cash
flow
used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and
2006
was $1.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The $1.2 million increase
was
due to the Loan advances to ERC for $5.4 million offset by the cash received
from the sale of subsidiaries.
Cash
used
in financing activities was $398 thousand for the three months ended March
31,
2007 and $123 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This increase
is due to the repayment of bank loans and payments to acquire treasury
stock.
The
Company currently anticipates that its available cash resources will be
sufficient to meet its presently anticipated working capital and capital
expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months.
In
the
event the Company makes future acquisitions or investments, the excess cash
on
hand, additional bank loans or fund raising may be used to finance such future
acquisitions. The Company may consider the sale of non-strategic assets.
Inflation
and Foreign Currency
The
Company maintains its books in local currency: Hungarian Forint for Navigator
and US Dollars for the Parent Company registered in the State of Delaware.
The
Company’s operations are primarily in the United States through its wholly owned
subsidiary. All the Company’s customers were in Hungary. As a result,
fluctuations in currency exchange rates may significantly affect the Company's
sales, profitability and financial position when the foreign currencies,
primarily the Hungarian Forint, of its international operations are translated
into U.S. dollars for financial reporting. In additional, we are also subject
to
currency fluctuation risk with respect to certain foreign currency denominated
receivables and payables. Although the Company cannot predict the extent to
which currency fluctuations may or will affect the Company's business and
financial position, there is a risk that such fluctuations will have an adverse
impact on the Company's sales, profits and financial position. Because differing
portions of our revenues and costs are denominated in foreign currency,
movements could impact our margins by, for example, decreasing our foreign
revenues when the dollar strengthens and not correspondingly decreasing our
expenses. The Company does not currently hedge its currency exposure. In the
future, we may engage in hedging transactions to mitigate foreign exchange
risk.
The
translation of the Company’s subsidiaries forint denominated balance sheets into
U.S. dollars, as of March 31, 2006, has been affected by the weakening of the
Hungarian forint against the U.S. dollar from 213.58 as of December 31, 2005,
to
219.20 as of March 31, 2006, an approximate 3% depreciation in value. The
average Hungarian forint/U.S. dollar exchange rates used for the translation
of
the subsidiaries forint denominated statements of operations into U.S. dollars,
for the three months ended March 31, 2006 were 213.52.
Effect
of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In
September 2006, the SEC issued SAB No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior
Year Misstatements when Qualifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial
Statements” (“SAB 108”) which provides interpretive guidance on the
consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current
year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 is
effective for companies with fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006 and
is
required to be adopted by the Company in fiscal 2007. However, early application
is encouraged in any report for an interim period of the first fiscal year
ending after November 15, 2006, filed after the publication of this guidance.
Management is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of SAB
108.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS
157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures
about
fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting
pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having
previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is
the
relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require
any
new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods
within those fiscal years. This Statement is required to be adopted by the
Company on July 1, 2008. Management is currently assessing the impact of the
adoption of this Statement.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure
many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement
provides entities the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings
caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having
to
apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is effective as of
the
beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.
Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this Statement.
Forward-Looking
Statements
When
used
in this Form, in other filings by the Company with the SEC, in the Company’s
press releases or other public or stockholder communications, or in oral
statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer of the
Company, the words or phrases “would be,” “will allow,” “intends to,” “will
likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,”
“estimate,” “project,” or similar expressions are intended to identify
“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
The
Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date made, are based on certain
assumptions and expectations which may or may not be valid or actually occur,
and which involve various risks and uncertainties, including but not limited
to
the risks set forth above. See “Risk Factors.” In addition, sales and other
revenues may not commence and/or continue as anticipated due to delays or
otherwise. As a result, the Company’s actual results for future periods could
differ materially from those anticipated or projected.
Unless
otherwise required by applicable law, the Company does not undertake, and
specifically disclaims any obligation, to update any forward-looking statements
to reflect occurrences, developments, unanticipated events or circumstances
after the date of such statement.
Item
3. Controls and Procedures
As
of
March 31, 2007, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with
the
participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer
and the Audit Committee members, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that
evaluation, the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer
concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective
as of March 31, 2007. There have been no significant changes in the Company's
internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal
controls in the quarter ended March 31, 2007 that materially affected or are
reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal
controls.
Based
on
disagreements with former auditors - Internal controls was not sufficient due
to
late filing and other factors which did not allow to filing this report on
time.
On
April
19, 2007, the Company received a Nasdaq Staff Determination (the
"Determination") indicating that the Company has failed to comply with the
requirement for continued listing set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14)
requiring the Company to file its Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
2006 with the Securities and Exchange Commission and that its securities are,
therefore, subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company
requested and received a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel
(the "Panel") to review the Determination.
On
May
17, 2007, the Company received a Nasdaq Additional Staff Determination (the
“Additional Determination”) indicating that the Company has failed to comply
with the requirement for continued listing set forth in Marketplace Rule
4310(c)(14) requiring the Company to file its Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended
March 31, 2007 with the Securities and Exchange Commission and that that this
failure serves as an additional basis for why its securities are subject to
delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company reviewed the Additional
Determination at its Panel hearing, which took place on May 31, 2007. There
can
be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued
listing.

1. LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
From
time

consider to be a part of the ordinary course of our business. We are not
involved currently in legal proceedings other than detailed below that could
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business,
prospects, financial condition or results of operations. We may become involved
in material legal proceedings in the future.
On
April
26, 2006, a lawsuit was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the "Court")
by
a stockholder of the Company against the Company, each of the Company's
Directors and CORCYRA d.o.o., a stockholder of the Company that beneficially
owned 39.81% of the Company's outstanding common stock at the date of the
lawsuit. The Complaint is entitled Laurence Paskowitz v. Csaba Toro et al.,
C.A.
No. 2110-N and was brought individually, and as a class action on behalf of
certain of the Company's common stockholders, excluding defendants and their
affiliates. The plaintiff alleged that the proposed sale of 100% of the
Company's interest in the Company's two Internet and telecom related operating
subsidiaries (the "Subsidiaries") constitutes a sale of substantially all of
the
Company's assets and required approval by a majority of the voting power of
the
Company's outstanding common stock under Section 271 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law. The plaintiff also alleged the defendants breached their
fiduciary duties in connection with the sale of the Subsidiaries, as well as
the
disclosures contained in the proxy statement filed on April 24, 2006. The
plaintiff applied for a temporary restraining order seeking to enjoin the
special meeting on May 15, 2006.
The
Company denies any and all allegations of wrongdoing; however, in the interests
of conserving resources, on April 28, 2006, the parties to the litigation
entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) providing for, subject to
confirmatory discovery by plaintiff, the negotiation of a formal stipulation
of
a settlement of the litigation. Pursuant to the MOU, the Board of Directors
of
the Company agreed to: (i) increase the vote required to approve the sale of
100% of the Company's interest in the Subsidiaries, (ii) revise the disclosure
within the Proxy Statement to eliminate the bonus of up to US $400,000, which
the Compensation Committee of the Company had the option to pay to select
members of management, as the Board of Directors had previously elected to
terminate the ability to pay such bonus and (iii) provide supplemental
disclosure as contained in the Supplemental Proxy Statement to be mailed to
stockholders and filed with the SEC on May 3, 2006.
The
parties entered into a stipulation of settlement on April 3, 2007. The
settlement will provide for dismissal of the litigation with prejudice and
is
subject to Court approval. As part of the settlement, the Company has agreed
to
attorneys' fees and expenses to plaintiff's counsel in the amount of $151,000.
Pursuant to the stipulation of settlement, the Company sent out notices to
the
members of the class on May 3, 2007. A fairness hearing will take place on
June
8, 2007.
The
Company filed a Complaint in the Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles,
against an attorney. The case was filed on February 14, 2007, and service of
process has been done. In the Complaint the Company is seeking judgment against
it this attorney in the amount of approximately $250,000, plus interest, costs
and fees. Defendant has not yet appeared in the action. The Company believes
that it has a meritorious claim for the return of monies deposited with
defendant in a trust capacity, and, from the documents in the Company’s
possession, there is no reason to doubt the validity of the claim. However,
management does not have any information on the collectibility of any judgment
that might be entered in Court. During April 2007 defendant returned
approximately $70,000 net, and the Company has granted him a 15-day extension
to
file his defense.
ITEM
2. CHANGES
IN SECURITIES
In
June
2006, the Company's Board of Directors approved a program to repurchase (the
“Repurchase Program”), from time to time, at management's discretion, up to
700,000 shares of the Company's common stock in the open market or in private
transactions commencing on June 20, 2006 and continuing through December 15,
2006 at prevailing market prices. Repurchases will be made under the program
using our own cash resources and will be in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and other applicable laws, rules and
regulations. The Shemano Group is acting as agent for our stock repurchase
program. As of March 31, 2007, the Company acquired 1,190,130 shares of its
common stock at a cost of $1,981,585.
Pursuant
to the unanimous consent of the Board of Directors in September 2006, the number
of shares that may be purchased under the Repurchase Program was increased
from
700,000 to 1,500,000 shares of common stock and the Repurchase Program was
extended until October 1, 2007, or until the increased amount of shares is
purchased.
Pursuant
to the Sale and Purchase Agreement of Navigator, the Company received at closing
(2/16/2007) 622,531 shares of the Company’s common stock as partial
consideration. The Company shares were valued at $1.34 per share, representing
the closing price of the Company on the NASDAQ Capital Market on February 16,
2007, the closing of the sale. The Company intends to cancel the Emvelco common
stock acquired during the disposition in the amount of $834,192.

DELOITTE
RESIGNATION -
DELOITTE
RESIGNATION -
On
April
25, 2007 (the "Resignation Date"), Deloitte Kft. (the "Former Auditor") advised
the Company that it has resigned as the Company's independent auditor. The
Former Auditor performed the audit for the one year period ended December 31,
2005, which report for the one year ended December 31, 2005 did not contain
any
adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified as to audit
scope or accounting principles. During the Company's two most recent fiscal
years and during any subsequent interim period prior to the Resignation Date,
there were no disagreements with the Former Auditor, with respect to accounting
or auditing issues of the type discussed in Item 304(a)(iv) of Regulation S-B.
Prior
to
the Resignation Date, the Former Auditor advised the Company that it had raised
certain issues relating to the accounting of ERC. The Former Auditor believes
that this communication is a disclosable event pursuant to Item 304(a)(v).
The
issues raised by the Former Auditor related to the recording of the cost of
real
estate purchased by Verge (a wholly owned subsidiary of ERC), the production
of
records relating to loans made to VLC and the valuation of land in connection
with Lorraine LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of ERC). Management of the Company
disagrees with the aforementioned statements and believes that it has adequately
explained each of the above inquires made by the Former Auditor. Further, prior
to being advised of the above issues, the Company maintained that ERC and its
subsidiaries do not need to be consolidated in the Company's financial
statements, which such position was subsequently confirmed by a detailed
analysis by management and an independent third party consultant of the
accounting pronouncements governing consolidation.
The
Company provided the Former Auditor with a copy of this disclosure. The Former
Auditor advised the Company that it intended to furnish a letter to the Company,
addressed to the SEC, stating that it agreed with the statements made herein
or
the reasons why it disagreed. The letter from the Former Auditor was filed
as an
exhibit to Form 8-K/A filed May 14, 2007.
Appointment
of New Auditors - Robison, Hill & Co. ("RHC") -
On
April
26, 2007, the Company engaged Robison, Hill & Co. ("RHC") as its independent
registered public accounting firm for the Company's fiscal year ended December
31, 2006. The decision to engage RHC as the Company's independent registered
public accounting firm was approved by the Company's Board of Directors.
During
the two most recent fiscal years and through April 26, 2007, the Company has
not
consulted with RHC regarding either:
1.
the
application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either
completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered
on
the Company's financial statements, and neither a written report was provided
to
the Company nor oral advice was provided that RHC concluded was an important
factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting,
auditing or financial reporting issue; or
2.
any
matter that was either subject of disagreement or event, as defined in Item
304(a)(1)(iv)(A) of Regulation S-B and the related instruction to Item 304
of
Regulation S-B, or a reportable event, as that term is explained in Item
304(a)(1)(iv)(A) of Regulation S-B.
