NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31,
2009
(unaudited)
A. BASIS
OF PRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION
Natural
Blue Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) has four subsidiaries: American Marketing
and Sales, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation that the Company wholly owns;
NetSymphony Corporation and QoVox Corporation, North Carolina corporations that
the Company wholly owns; and CASCommunications, Inc., a Florida corporation, of
which the Company owns 40%. The primary business of American Marketing and
Sales, Inc. (doing business as Innovative Designs) is marketing and selling food
service products and caterware. NetSymphony Corporation was incorporated on
March 29, 2007 to take advantage of software-driven network assurance products
and services, and its planning and staffing are in the formative
stage. CASCommunications, Inc. is an inactive
company. CASCommunications, Inc. did not generate any revenue in 2008
and is not expected to generate any revenue in 2009.
NetSymphony
focuses on becoming a provider of network assurance products and services.
NetSymphony’s network assurance products are designed to enable communications
network operators and service providers to quickly and automatically determine
if their network is meeting its quality and service expectations, while lowering
network operating costs. NetSymphony has developed their Maestro System that
covers the existing traditional telephone networks, networks that use the same
communication technology as the Internet, and converged networks comprised of
both of these network types. NetSymphony announced its first product sales in
the first quarter of 2008, resulting in $3,520 gross revenues during
2008. NetSymphony did not generate any revenues during the quarter
ended March 31, 2009.
QoVox
provides consulting service to NetSymphony on a work for hire basis. Any
revenues generated by QoVox or expenses incurred by NetSymphony as a result of
this arrangement will be eliminated in consolidation. On August 1,
2008, QoVox licensed the use of certain residual software it developed to
NetSymphony. During the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, QoVox did not
generate any revenues.
CASCommunications
had no recorded assets as of March 31, 2009 or December 31, 2008, and had a loss

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities:
In
January 2003 and revised December 2003, the FASB issued FIN
No. 46,
“Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities.”
This interpretation of Accounting
Research Bulletin No. 51,
“Consolidated Financial
Statements,”
requires consolidation by business enterprises of variable
interest entities, as defined, when certain conditions are met. Pursuant to FIN
No. 46, the Company continues to consolidate
CASCommunications, Inc.
Basis of
Accounting:
The
accounts of the Company are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting
whereby revenue is recognized when earned, and costs and expenses are recognized
when incurred.
Use of
Estimates:
Management
uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses.
Actual results could vary from those estimates.
Inventory:
The
Company’s inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is
determined using the first in, first out method. Unusual losses resulting from
lower of cost or market adjustments or losses on firm purchase commitments, if
any, are disclosed, and if material, separately stated from cost of goods sold
in the statement of operations.
Cash and
Cash Equivalents:
Cash and
cash equivalents consists principally of currency on hand, demand deposits at
commercial banks, and liquid investment funds having a maturity of three months
or less at the time of purchase.
Property
and Equipment:
Property
and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are determined
using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from three to
eight years.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments:
The
carrying value of cash, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses,
and notes payable are assumed to approximate fair value because of the
relatively short maturity of these instruments. However, since the Company has
been unable to pay its liabilities as they became due, significant discounts
that cannot be estimated, may be appropriate for liabilities.
Concentrations
of Credit Risk:
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk consist primarily of cash. The Company maintains its cash accounts with
several commercial banks. Cash balances are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, up to $250,000 per financial institution. At March 31,
2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had no uninsured cash
balances.

Capital
Structure:
SFAS
No. 129,
“Disclosure of
Information about Capital Structure,”
requires a summary presentation of
the pertinent rights and privileges of the various securities outstanding. The
Company’s voting common stock is comprised of 415,636,087 and 409,696,087 shares
issued and outstanding, respectively, at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008,
respectively, of which 490,000 shares were repurchased by the Company and are
being held in treasury. In April 2003, the Company amended its
certificate of incorporation with the state of New York to increase the number
of authorized shares of stock to 340,000,000 shares of common stock. In April
2005, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Datameg
Corp. NY setting forth the terms of our reincorporation from New York to
Delaware. As part of the reincorporation the Company increased its authorized
number of shares to 503,000,000, of which 10,000,000 are preferred shares and
493,000,000 are common shares. The Company also changed its par value from $0.01
to $0.0001 per share.
Revenue
Recognition:
American Market & Sales,
Inc.
The
Company recognizes revenue from product sales in accordance with Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 104, which requires recognition when persuasive evidence
of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, delivery has
occurred, and payment is reasonably assured. The Company has
determined that these criteria have been met upon shipment, and recognizes
revenue at that point. Pursuant to SFAS No. 5,
“Accounting for
Contingencies,”
the Company has examined collection history, financial
conditions of clients, and general economic conditions and determined that it is
not necessary to set an allowance for doubtful accounts, which have historically
not been significant.
NetSymphony Corporation and
QoVox Corporation
The
Company derives revenue from three primary sources: (1) system hardware
component sales revenue, (2) software license revenue, and
(3) services and maintenance and right to use revenue, which include
support, maintenance, right to use fees and consulting. Revenue on system
hardware component sales is recognized upon delivery to and acceptance by the
customer. Software license revenue recognition is substantially governed
by the provisions of Statement of Position No. 97-2
, “Software Revenue
Recognition,”
(SOP 97-2) issued by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants. The Company exercises judgment and uses estimates in
connection with the determination of the amount of software license and services
revenue to be recognized in each accounting period. For software license
arrangements that do not require significant modification or customization of
the underlying software, the Company recognizes revenue when: (1) it enters
into a legally binding arrangement with a customer for the license of software;
(2) it delivers the products or performs the services; (3) customer
payment is deemed fixed or determinable and free of contingencies or significant
uncertainties; (4) collection is probable, and (5) vendor specific
objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value exists to allocate the total fee among
all delivered and undelivered elements in the arrangement.
Multiple
Element Arrangements:
The
Company typically enters into arrangements with customers that include perpetual
software licenses, system hardware, maintenance, and right to use fees. Software
licenses are sold on a per copy basis. Per copy licenses give customers the
right to use a single copy of licensed software for exclusive use on the
Company’s system hardware. Assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are
met, license revenue is recognized upon delivery using the residual method in
accordance with SOP No. 98-9,
“Modification of SOP 97-2: Software
Revenue Recognition.”
Under the residual method, the Company allocates
and defers revenue for the undelivered elements, based on VSOE of fair value,
and recognizes the difference between the total arrangement fee and the amount
deferred for the undelivered elements as revenue. The determination of fair
value of each undelivered element in multiple element arrangements is based on
the price charged when the same element is sold separately. If sufficient
evidence of fair value cannot be determined for any undelivered item, all
revenue from the arrangement is deferred until VSOE of fair value can be
established or until all elements of the arrangement have been delivered. If the
only undelivered element is maintenance and technical support for which the
Company cannot establish VSOE, the Company will recognize the entire arrangement
fees ratably over the maintenance and support term.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
Revenue
Recognition (
cont’d
):
System
hardware is hardware that is installed at a customer site for the purpose of
utilizing the licensed software and as such, does not qualify as a separately
deliverable element. The timing of revenue recognition from the sale of system
hardware is therefore dependent upon the recognition of revenue for the related
software licenses.
Maintenance
and right to use fees includes updates (unspecified product upgrades and
enhancements) on a when and if available basis, telephone support and bug fixes
or patches and maintenance of the systems hardware, which would include
repairs or replacement as necessary. VSOE of fair value for maintenance and
right to use fees is based upon stated annual renewal rates. Maintenance and
right to use fees revenue is recognized ratably over the maintenance and right
to use term.
Revenue
Recognition Criteria:
The
Company defines revenue recognition criteria as follows:
Persuasive Evidence of an
Arrangement Exists.
It is the Company’s customary practice to have
a purchase order prior to recognizing revenue on an
arrangement.
Delivery has Occurred.
The Company’s software and systems hardware are physically delivered and
installed at its customer’s site. The Company considers delivery complete when
the software and system hardware products have been installed and the testing
phase completed. The Company defers all the revenue until the testing phase
has been completed and the Company receives customer acceptance.
The Vendor’s Fee is Fixed or
Determinable.
The Company’s prices and services are indicated in invoices
and service agreements. Customary payment terms are generally within
30 days after the invoice date.
Collection is Reasonably
Assured.
Due to a lack of customer history upon which a judgment could be
made as to the collectibility of a particular receivable, revenue is currently
recognized upon shipment assuming all other conditions of the sale have been
met.
Reclassifications:
Some of
the prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to current period
presentation.
Cost of
Revenue:
Cost of
revenue includes costs related to user license, systems hardware and maintenance
and right to use fees revenue. Cost of user license revenue includes material,
packaging, shipping and other production costs and third party royalties. Cost
of systems hardware includes the cost of goods sold and installation costs. Cost
of maintenance and right to use fees and consulting fees include related
personnel costs, and hardware repair costs. Third party consultant fees are also
included in cost of services.
Advertising:
Advertising
costs are charged to operations as incurred. For the quarters ended March 31,
2009 and 2008, there were only minimal advertising costs charged to
operations.
Research
and Development:
The
Company expenses research and development costs as incurred.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)
Software
Development Costs:
Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 86,
“Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed,”
requires
capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the
establishment of technological feasibility and readiness of general release. The
Company also licenses from a third party the use of certain software that it
utilizes in its products. These computer software license fees are
expensed as incurred.
Income
Taxes:
The
Company, a C-Corporation, accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109,
“Accounting for Income
Taxes.”
Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of
assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws
that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation
allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the
amount expected to be realized. The principal differences are net operating
losses, startup costs and the use of accelerated depreciation methods to
calculate depreciation expense for income tax purposes.
Stock-Based
Compensation:
The
Company follows guidance provided in SFAS No. 123R
, “Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation,”
which requires companies to recognize expense for
stock-based awards granted to employees or outside consultants based on their
estimated fair value on the grant date.
Comprehensive
Income:
SFAS
No. 130,
“Reporting
Comprehensive Income,”
establishes standards for reporting comprehensive
income and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in
equity during a period from transactions and other events from non-owner
sources. Entities that do not have items of other comprehensive income in any
period presented are not required to report comprehensive income. Accordingly
the Company has not made any such disclosure in the statements presented
herein.
Earnings
Per Common Share:
The
Company reports basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) according to the
provisions of SFAS No. 128,
“Earnings Per Share.”
SFAS
No. 128 requires the presentation of basic EPS and, for companies with
complex capital structures, diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is
computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders,
adjusted by any convertible preferred dividends; the after-tax amount of
interest recognized in the period associated with any convertible debt; and any
other changes in income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion of
those potential common shares, by the weighted number of common shares and
common share equivalents (unless their effect is antidilutive)
outstanding. The Company also considers the potential effects of the
exercise of options and warrants outstanding during the reporting
period. Due to the Company’s continuing net losses, potentially
dilutive securities have historically had an antidilutive effect on
EPS. Accordingly, basic and diluted EPS are the same.

Segment
Information:
SFAS
No. 131,
“Disclosure
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,”
requires public
enterprises to report certain information about operating segments, including
products and services, geographic areas of operations, and major customers.
American Marketing and Sales, Inc. (AMS), is considered a separately reportable
business segment that meets the ‘Single Industry Dominance’ test, which
eliminates the segment disclosure requirements if the segment accounts for 90%
or more of the combined revenue, reported profit, and assets. Thus,
the revenues, profits, and assets reported in the consolidated financial
statements are primarily those of AMS.

INVENTORY
AMS
produces caterware for the food service industry via an intense heat injection
molding process using Polystyrene/Polypropylene recycled resins. The
raw materials and finished goods are produced and held by two third-party
manufacturing plants, from where they are shipped to customers across the
nation. AMS does not enter into long-term contracts and generally
experiences a high inventory turnover ratio while maintaining minimal quantities
on-hand in the warehouses. QoVox’s and NetSymphony’s inventory
consists of various components of its network assurance telecommunications
system held for specific sale-on-approval contracts. Inventory at

promissory note with former counsel, whereby the Company was required to
pay the principal sum of $155,000 in past-due fees and other costs, plus
6% interest. The Company was current on its payments through
November 2008, but did not make the full December 15, 2008 payment
pursuant to the payment schedule, and is currently in
default. The Company has made $87,500 in principal payments,
and the remaining $67,500 principal is payable as follows:
·
$10,000
on or before December 15, 2008, ($7,500 unpaid)
·
$10,000

On
July 1, 2008, the Company’s QoVox subsidiary entered into a promissory
note with one of its consultants for $230,605, which represents past-due
fees previously included in accounts payable. Payment terms
stated therein require monthly installments of $1,000 paid to the
consultant the last day of each month commencing July 31, 2008 through
December 31, 2008; $2,000 per month January through September 2009; and
$3,000 per month thereafter until the remaining balance is
paid. The Company made $3,000 in principal payments during
2008, and $1,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2008, resulting in
payable balances of $226,605 and $227,605 at March 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. The Company is currently in default, so the
principal balance has been reflected as a current liability in accordance
with the promissory note terms. Interest at 8% resulted
in accrued interest of $13,703 and $9,171 at March 31, 2009 and December
31, 2008, respectively, which is included in accounts payable and accrued
expenses. Interest expense of $4,532 and $0 was recorded during

As
part of the purchase of American Marketing and Sales, Inc., (AMS), the

AMS and payable to the former stockholders of AMS. The note provides for
increases to principal for loans made by AMS to the company or its
subsidiaries up to $500,000. To raise the cap on additional loans up to $1
million from AMS, the Company entered into a stock pledge agreement with
the former stockholders, pledging its stock in NetSymphony. At
the time of the pledge agreement, NetSymphony assets were valued at $0.
The note accrues interest at 6% and the entire note balance, including
accrued interest, is due and payable on December 7,

F. STOCK
SUBSCRIPTION RECEIVABLE, LONG-TERM
On March
5, 2004, the Company entered into a stock subscription agreement with a foreign
investor to purchase 2,941,176 shares of the Company’s common stock at a
purchase price of $0.17 per share. On April 1, 2004, the investor made an
initial subscription payment of $80,000 and the Company issued and delivered the
full 2,941,176 shares of restricted Common Stock to the investor with the
understanding that the investor was sending the Company the $420,000 balance and
a stock subscription receivable was duly recorded on the Company’s books in the
amount of $420,000. On April 14, 2004, the investor notified the Company of
the investor’s intent not to invest further in the Company. The Company offered
to issue a new stock certificate in the amount of 470,588 shares to accommodate
the $80,000 initial subscription payment in exchange for the investor’s return
of the stock certificate issued and delivered to the investor on April 1, 2004
for the full share amount of 2,941,176 shares
.
The investor
refused the Company’s exchange offer and has continued to refuse to return the
stock certificate for 2,941,176 shares.
The
Company is convinced of the merits of its claim against the investor and intends
to institute a legal action to vindicate that claim in 2009. The Company has
retained Massachusetts litigation counsel. Given the uncertainties inherent in
litigation, the Company took a charge of $105,000 (25%) against the receivable
in the fourth quarter of 2006, another charge of $105,056 in the fourth quarter
of 2007, and a third charge of $105,000 during the fourth quarter of 2008,
resulting in a $105,000 balance at March 31, 2008 and December 31,
2008.

At March 31, 2009, the Company had 35,400,000 options
and warrants outstanding, and 10,000,000 contingent shares held in escrow (Note
H). Exercising the warrants and options and issuing the contingent
shares would have an antidilutive effect for existing
shareholders. These shares are not included in the calculation of
diluted loss per share, resulting in basic and diluted loss per share being
equal.
H. JUDGMENTS
PAYABLE
In July
2003, the Company signed a promissory note with a professional for fees and the
interest on unpaid fees due that professional through September 30, 2003 in the
amount of $247,007. The note was due on August 15, 2003 and had a stated an
interest rate of 18% per annum, which had been accrued since the note’s
inception. No significant payments had been made on the note, and on
September 25, 2007, the note holder filed suit, seeking to have a judgment
rendered against the Company for all amounts claimed due. On June 23, 2008, the
court entered judgment for the full principal and interest on the promissory
note. On August 15, 2008, the parties entered into a settlement
agreement requiring the Company to pay the plaintiff in full settlement of this
case, the sum of $555,000 pursuant to the following schedule:

The
principal and interest on the settlement date totaling $469,449 were
reclassified from accounts and notes payable to judgments payable, and an
additional $85,551 was accrued to record the full settlement
amount. After making an initial payment of $100,000, the Company
defaulted on the January 2009 payment. Although the Company made an additional
$20,000 payment in February 2009, negotiations ensued and the Company and
plaintiff entered into a second settlement agreement wherein plaintiff will
accept 10 million Company common shares as payment of the judgment if certain
events are concluded on or before June 1, 2009 (Note K). The shares
were issued to an escrow account on March 25, 2009. If the
aforementioned events fail to occur, the second settlement is void and the 10
million shares in escrow will be returned to the Company for
cancellation.

J. GOING
CONCERN, OPERATING LOSS
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company
has sustained substantial costs in implementing its action plan. In addition,
the Company used substantial amounts of working capital in funding these costs.
At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, current liabilities exceeded current
assets by $5,481,740 and $1,221,831, respectively. The Company is seeking to
raise additional capital and develop partnerships and cooperative agreements. In
view of these matters, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern
is dependent upon the Company’s ability to achieve its business objectives and
the success of its future operations.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Material
Definitive Agreements:
Blue
Earth Solutions, Inc.:
On March
18, 2009, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and an Assignment
and Assumption Agreement (related to a purchase money promissory note) incident
to its proposed sale of its wholly owned subsidiary American Marketing &
Sales, Inc. (AMS), to Blue Earth Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation
("Buyer"). The sale is subject to the consent of a majority of the Company’s
shareholders and is expected to conclude in mid-June 2009.
Several
principal shareholders, who are the former owners of all American Marketing
shares, currently hold 15 million Company common shares in escrow from their
sale of AMS to the Company in December 2007. These principal shareholders also
hold a purchase money note ("Note") secured by all of the assets of AMS
concerning an election to return the 15 million Company common shares in favor
of full payment of the purchase money note. As of December 31, 2008, the
principal and interest due on the Note was approximately $5.4 Million consisting
of a Note face amount of $4 Million and additional loans and accrued interest of
approximately $1,418,000.
Among
other terms, the Company (or its shareholders of record) shall receive 1 million
(restricted with piggy-back registration rights) common shares of the Buyer’s
shares in exchange for the transfer of AMS shares to the Buyer. The Company
shall deliver to the principal shareholders from escrow 15 million Company
common shares in exchange for (1) a complete release of the Company and its
directors and officers from further liability upon the Note and otherwise, (2)
the principal shareholders’ written consent to the assumption of the Note by
Blue Earth, (3) Blue Earths’ written assumption of the Note, and (4) the
principal shareholders’ and the Buyer’s agreement to extend the term of the Note
for one year.
During
the term of the extended Note, certain principal shareholders shall have the
right to convert the principal and interest then due into the Buyer’s
(restricted with piggy-back registration rights) common shares at the price of
$6 per share. For their assumption of the additional loans from AMS
on the Note, the Buyer shall be issued 50 Million unregistered Company common
shares at the closing. The principal shareholders shall release their
security interest in NetSymphony Corporation stock and return the stock
certificate to the Company. In consideration of their aforementioned
acts and consents, the Buyer shall deliver to the principal shareholders 400,000
(restricted with piggy-back registration rights) shares of the Buyer’s common
stock.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (CONT’D)
Natural
Blue Resources, Inc.:
On April
14, 2009, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement to acquire Natural
Blue Resources, Inc. (“NBR”), a Nevada corporation. The acquisition is subject
to the consent of a majority of the Company’s shareholders and to the consent of
NBR’s shareholders and is expected to conclude in mid-June 2009. The purchase of
NBR will be made pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement resulting in a change of
control. The Share Exchange Agreement contains, among other things,
representations and warranties of the aforementioned parties and covenants of
the Company and NBR. Among other terms, shareholders of NBR shall transfer all
of NBR's issued and outstanding shares of capital stock ("Shares") to the
Company and such Shares shall be converted into and exchanged for shares of the
Company's common stock, equaling upon completion of this share exchange ninety
percent (90%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company. To
effect this Agreement, the Company’s current shareholders must consent to a 100
to 1 reverse stock split reducing the Company’s outstanding shares to
approximately 4.9 million common shares pre-closing and to approximately 49
million shares after the share exchange.
L. OTHER
ASSETS
During
the quarter, the Company purchased $26,000 in municipal bonds that yield 5.5%
interest and mature on July 1, 2010. The Company has not determined
yet whether it will hold the bonds to maturity, and has therefore classified
them as available-for-sale securities. No material fluctuation in
fair market value was noted on the bonds, so no unrealized holding gains or
losses have been recorded in other accumulated comprehensive
income.
During
the quarter, the Company also purchased $200,000 in long-term certificates of
deposits (CD’s). One $100,000 CD yields interest of 1.85% and matures
on July 27, 2010, while the other CD yields interest of 2.1% and matures on
October 25, 2010.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Results
of Operations
Overview
PLAN OF
OPERATION
THE GREEN
LINE
American
Marketing and Sales, Inc., located in Leominster, Massachusetts, has
successfully developed and introduced an extensive line of environment-friendly,
injection-molded Green Line food-packaging/caterware products and has received
orders or commitments to purchase the new Green Line of products from U.S.
Foodservice, Madison Square Garden, Whole Foods, Le Pain Quotidien restaurants,
Finagle A Bagel, the U.S. House of Representatives purchasing office in
Washington, D.C., and several schools and colleges including the University of
Massachusetts. The new Green Line products consist of 25 items including various
sizes of trays, party platters, and serving bowls with lids. These
non-toxic products qualify for the Green label inasmuch as they are manufactured
from FDA-approved polypropylene and polystyrene resins that contain up to 40
percent recycled plastic content. American Marketing and Sales, Inc. is one of
the first manufacturers in the industry to introduce injection-molded caterware
and food service products worthy of the prestigious “Recycled” logo
mark. On March 11, 2008, American Marketing and Sales, Inc. entered
into a binding term sheet to acquire one-third of the outstanding shares and 50%
of the voting rights in one of American Marketing and Sales, Inc.’s primary
manufacturers, JAM Plastics, also located in Leominster. As of April
16, 2009, the agreement had not yet closed and no stock had been
exchanged.
During
the first quarter of 2008, American Marketing and Sales introduced additional
new products manufactured with 40% recycled resins. The new product line
consists of fifteen items of office products including desk top organizers,
letter trays, legal letter trays, pencil holders, paper clip and card holders,
magazine holders, and telephone and draw organizers. Current and targeted
customers include Walmart, Target, BJ’S, Sam’s Club, Staples, Office Max,
Office Depot, W.B. Mason, and numerous mail order
catalogs.
Green
Line food caterware and office products are marketed through a dedicated web
site entitled Green Planet Plastics (greenplanetplastic.com). Green Line
products are made with recycled material as part of American Marketing’s efforts
to take earth-friendly steps toward product awareness.
SERVICE
ASSURANCE SYSTEMS PRODUCTS AND SERVICES FOR NETWORK OPERATORS IN THE
TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY
The
Company is a holding company, but through its subsidiary, NetSymphony
Corporation, is a technology company focused on providing service assurance
systems products and services for network operators in the telecommunications
industry. Our target customers are telecom operators and cable operators
worldwide. We focus specifically on voice services over traditional circuit
switched and managed IP networks.
Through
our wholly owned subsidiary, NetSymphony Corporation subcontracting with QoVox
Corporation and 3
rd
party consultants, we design, develop and sell an active voice quality test
system, capable of monitoring and providing analytical/statistical data that
characterizes the connectivity and measurement of voice quality across
communications networks. QoVox will continue its focus on PSTN testing
interfaces and NetSymphony will be developing Internet Protocol (IP) based
testing interfaces that are software based. We are working on tools and
techniques for network wide fault identification, isolation and
troubleshooting.
Communication
service providers, such as telecom operators and cable operators, are challenged
to deliver high quality voice services, at the lowest cost, over managed IP
infrastructures and inter-working with traditional circuit switched networks. To
do this effectively, service providers must monitor and measure their voice
service offering, proactively detect problems and resolve them quickly and cost
effectively, ideally before their customers experience any problem or service
degradation. Additionally, if customers do report service problems, operators
must be able to effectively identify the cause and fix the problem. QoVox
provides the systems (products) and services to address these
challenges.
VoIP
Market
VoIP is
one of the fastest growing segments in the telecommunications sector. Yankee
Group and IDC, leading market research firms, estimate the growth of VoIP
subscribers. Yankee Group estimated VoIP subscribers would grow from one million
at the end of 2004 to 18 million by 2008. IDC reported the number of VoIP
subscribers in the U.S. will jump from three million in 2005 to 27 million in
2009.
VoIP
service providers include local and long distance telephone companies, such as,
AT&T, Verizon, Qwest, Sprint, MCI and others; cable
multi service operators (MSO's) such as Cablevision, Comcast, Cox, Rogers, Time
Warner Cable and others; and emerging service providers, such as Vonage and
others.
Business
Challenge Driving Demand for New Tools and Services
Enterprise
and residential customers expect and demand that their voice services are high
quality and are offered at the lowest possible cost. To meet these expectations,
communication service providers must save significant capital costs and
operating expenses through deploying and operating next generation networks.
These next generation networks utilize packet switching technology that is
different from the traditional circuit switched networks. Some service operators
expect to save between 40% to 50% of their capital and operating
expenditures.
Service
providers are deploying and operating these next generation networks today,
often inter-working with traditional circuit switched networks. Service
providers need tools and services, like those QoVox offers, to report
statistically and analytically the performance of their service and to isolate,
diagnose and fix problems. Many service providers who have limited experience in
managing these emerging networking technologies are focused today on deployment
and need help to report on the service performance and to identify and
troubleshoot problems. To deploy and operate these networks and services,
service providers must buy tools and develop new expertise to deploy, operate
and manage these new networks and services. This is the business opportunity
that NetSymphony targets.
We
believe the NetSymphony systems and services enable service providers to
proactively depict their voice services and to detect and pinpoint network
problems. These problems may be repaired effectively; thus, minimizing the
number and extent of incidences of customers experiencing loss of service or
poor voice quality.
Business
Objectives
We strive
to be among the global leaders in developing and selling systems and services
for service assurance of next generation networks and services.
Our goal
is to be the leading supplier of active voice quality test systems. Thus, we
have an immediate business focus on expanding our relationships with our
customer base through value-added services while developing a new platform to
increase revenue through systems sales. There are three important elements to
achieve this:
·
|
Develop
a new platform with extensive correlation and analytic capabilities to
detect and isolate problems in our customer’s
networks,
|
·
|
Invest
heavily in Internet Protocol (IP) measurement technology,
and
|
·
|
Convert
our current trials into service
engagements.
|
We plan
to leverage our existing Time-division multiplexing (TDM) and Analog solutions
and combine them with new IP based solutions to provide the market with the most
complete service assurance platform for converged / next-generation networks.
TDM is a method of putting multiple data streams in a single signal by
separating the signal into many segments, each having a very short
duration. While investing heavily in our new platform, we will
continue to grow customer relationships and accelerate revenue generation
through offering professional services. Services overcome the obstacles of
lengthy sales cycles while more rapidly solving customer problems.
Current
Situation
NetSymphony’s
Maestro System
,
consisting of hardware and software, actively makes calls between various points
across communication networks and correlates and reports the results of these
call campaigns on a centralized server. We can operate the system on behalf of
our customers, or our customer can operate the system.
Although
we commenced sales of the
Maestro System
in the first
quarter of 2008, only $3,520 of revenues were recognized during 2008, and $0
thus far during 2009.
NetSymphony
and QoVox have their offices in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Business
Strategy and Direction
NetSymphony
intends to:
·
|
Develop
and sell systems products and
services;
|
·
|
Continue
to target telecom operators and cable
operators;
|
·
|
Develop
its business first in the U.S. and Canada. Africa, Mid-East and European
markets will also be addressed in
2009.
|
·
|
Continue
providing solutions for the challenges related to deploying and operating
voice services, especially in the areas of quality and security.
NetSymphony plans to extend its capability into fault isolation and
troubleshooting. Additionally, NetSymphony plans to make contributions for
other emerging technologies, such as video over
IP.
|
NetSymphony
will pursue the following strategy to achieve our business
objectives:
·
|
Develop
the industry’s premier service assurance system that enables customers to
assess, monitor and troubleshoot IP based
services;
|
·
|
Develop
and offer the
services
to characterize network and service health and to isolate and
diagnose performance and security
problems;
|
·
|
Create
a
consultative sales and
support
organization in both our direct and channel sales
initiatives; and
|
·
|
Partner
with
selected system
integrators
to facilitate the easy installation and customization
of NetSymphony systems into the customers’ operating environment and
workflow. In addition, system integrators are expected to be a source of
leads, referrals and support for our sales
efforts.
|
Product
Development
NetSymphony
has products and services that help service providers deploy and manage voice
services. To date, the majority of product development activity has been
centered on analog and TDM probe hardware. This investment was necessary to
establish the company in the test and measurement market.
NetSymphony
will add the IP networking technology to the Company’s solution portfolio and
become the premier service assurance provider. To achieve this goal, additional
investment will be in the following areas:
·
|
Server
Software: In complex networks the most pressing need is to be able to
correlate and analyze measurement information along with network elements
statistics to pinpoint where problems are occurring. We will be developing
this capability in 2009.
|
·
|
IP
Measurement Technology: NetSymphony now has as employees IP measurement
experts that have developed products that should be very successful
commercially. This team will introduce IP measurement solutions in 2009
that will be the most advanced in the
industry.
|
·
|
Leverage
Existing Products: The value of the current NetSymphony system will be
integrated into the new server platform and operate in conjunction with
the new IP probes and software agents. This will greatly enhance the value
of existing technology.
|
Our
products are deployed throughout the service provider’s network. Our products
check that calls can be connected properly across these networks and measure the
voice quality between various points in the network.
Services
Offering
At
present, NetSymphony operates a Network Operations Center in Raleigh, NC, for a
small number of network operators.
NetSymphony
plans to aggressively convert our existing sales opportunities to services
offerings in 2009. Customers are still wary of large capital budget outlays
causing an extended sales cycle that can extend over 18 months. Our customers
have immediate problems and the current NetSymphony solutions can solve many of
their issues. Therefore, we are working with our trial partners to move to a
services engagement that is based on their expense budget and can be done
quickly. We will offer Assessment Testing, Service Assurance Monitoring and
Consulting as professional services.
Marketing
and Sales
NetSymphony
plans to develop a joint global sales and support channel, comprised
of:
·
|
Direct
sales representatives, sales engineers and support
specialists;
|
·
|
High
end distributors that offer system integration in this market;
and
|
·
|
A
small number of operational support system vendors, equipment
manufacturers and system integrators who will provide referrals or resell
the NetSymphony products and
services.
|
In the
next three years, NetSymphony expects to fully develop sales and support
channels in:
·
|
The
U.S. and Canada, covering Tier 1 and Tier 2 wireline and mobile telecom
operators and the Top 25 cable
operators;
|
·
|
Western
and eastern Europe; and
|
·
|
Japan,
China, Korea and India.
|
NetSymphony
plans to actively participate in international and regional industry forums and
standardization bodies to build and earn a reputation as an innovative industry
leader.
NetSymphony
plans to organize and host regional Industry Leadership Forums, bringing
together industry leaders
Competition
There are
a number of competitors in the VoIP Monitoring business. These companies can be
segmented into Enterprise and Service Provider markets.
Enterprise
focused competitors feature lower cost solutions that are not designed to scale
to requirements of service providers. Vendors such as Attachmate (formerly
NetIQ),Viola Networks and Packet Island fall into the Enterprise
segment.
The
Service Provider segment is comprised of traditional Service Assurance vendors
such as Spirent, JDSU and Agilent. These companies come from a physical layer
test background and are attempting to gain market share in the IP services
market that involves significant investment.
There are
3 key areas of competitive differentiation for QoVox:
1.
|
Software-Based
Approach. Competitors are very hardware-based in their solutions, which
limits the flexibility of instrumenting networks for service assurance and
causes their price points to be very high. NetSymphony’s solutions will be
software-based to overcome these
challenges.
|
2.
|
Active
& Passive Analysis. Most competitors rely on providing measurements
through active testing (generating real calls on a network) or passive
monitoring (analyzing customers’ calls as they occur). Customers realize
there are merits to both methods and NetSymphony will provide passive
analysis in addition to its existing active
capabilities.
|
3.
|
Media
& Signaling. Competitors such as Agilent rely on Signaling analysis to
verify user status in VoIP. Other vendors such as JDSU and Sprint focus on
analyzing the media streams (actual calls) to verify the quality. In
reality, to measure the user experience and to isolate problems when they
occur both media and signaling need to be measured. NetSymphony is
currently adding signaling capabilities to its media stream
technology.
|
CasCommunications
We own
40% of CasCommunications, an inactive development stage entity. We do not expect
CasCommunications to generate any revenue in 2009. The Company is
exploring options.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Absent
the sale of American Marketing and the change of control with Natural Blue
Resources, Inc., current cash on hand and projected cash on hand is not adequate
to execute our plan of operation for NetSymphony’s or QoVox's operations.
American Marketing is unlikely to make additional loans to support their
operation. Given the losses incurred to date and the lack of substantial revenue
generated, we have little or no access to conventional debt
markets. Funding to support both short and midterm requirements for
product development and launch may be done through additional sale of shares and
potentially, to a lesser extent, from working capital that might be generated
from customer revenue in the future. Until the Company’s products generate
significant revenue from a customer, future cash flows cannot be meaningfully
projected.
There can
be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable
terms or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we would need to
curtail or reduce some or all of our operations, and some or all of
NetSymphony’s or QoVox's operations.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are
based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities
and equity and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. These estimates have a material impact on our
financial statements.
Revenue
Recognition
American
Marketing & Sales, Inc.
American
Marketing and Sales, Inc. recognizes revenue from product sales in accordance
with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, which requires recognition when
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or
determinable, delivery has occurred, and payment is reasonably
assured. The Company has determined that these criteria have been met
upon shipment, and recognizes revenue at that point.
Pursuant
to SFAS No. 5,
“Accounting for
Contingencies,”
American Marketing and Sales, Inc. has examined
collection history, financial conditions of clients, and general economic
conditions and determined that it is not necessary to set an allowance for
doubtful accounts, which have historically not been significant.
NetSymphony
Corporation & QoVox Corporation
NetSymphony
Corporation and QoVox Corporation derive revenue from three primary sources: (1)
system hardware component sales revenue, (2) software license revenue and (3)
services and maintenance and right to use revenue, which include support,
maintenance, right to use fees and consulting. Revenue on system hardware
component sales is recognized upon delivery to, and acceptance by, the customer.
Software license revenue recognition is substantially governed by the provisions
of Statement of Position No. 97-2
, “Software Revenue
Recognition,”
(SOP 97-2) issued by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants. The Company exercises judgment and uses estimates in
connection with the determination of the amount of software license and services
revenue to be recognized in each accounting period. For software license
arrangements that do not require significant modification or customization of
the underlying software, the Company recognizes revenue when: (1) it enters into
a legally binding arrangement with a customer for the license of software; (2)
it delivers the products or perform the services; (3) customer payment is deemed
fixed or determinable and free of contingencies or significant uncertainties (4)
collection is probable and (5) vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair
value exists to allocate the total fee among all delivered and undelivered
elements in the arrangement.
Multiple
Element Arrangements
The
Company typically enters into arrangements with customers that include perpetual
software licenses, system hardware, maintenance and right to use fees. Software
licenses are sold on a per copy basis. Per copy licenses give customers the
right to use a single copy of licensed software for exclusive use on the
Company’s system hardware. Assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are
met, license revenue is recognized upon delivery using the residual method in
accordance with SOP No. 98-9,
“Modification of SOP 97-2: Software
Revenue Recognition.”
Under the residual method, the Company allocates
and defers revenue for the undelivered elements, based on VSOE of fair value,
and recognizes the difference between the total arrangement fee and the amount
deferred for the undelivered elements as revenue. The determination of fair
value of each undelivered element in multiple element arrangements is based on
the price charged when the same element is sold separately. If sufficient
evidence of fair value cannot be determined for any undelivered item, all
revenue from the arrangement is deferred until VSOE of fair value can be
established or until all elements of the arrangement have been delivered. If the
only undelivered element is maintenance and technical support for which the
Company cannot establish VSOE, the Company will recognize the entire arrangement
fees ratably over the maintenance and support term.
System
hardware is hardware that is installed at a customer site for the purpose of
utilizing the licensed software and as such, does not qualify as a separately
deliverable element. The timing of revenue recognition from the sale of system
hardware is therefore dependent upon the recognition of revenue for the related
software licenses.
Maintenance
and right to use fees include updates (unspecified product upgrades and
enhancements) on a when and if available basis, telephone support and bug fixes
or patches and maintenance of the systems hardware, which would include repairs
or replacement as necessary. VSOE of fair value for maintenance and right to use
fees is based upon stated annual renewal rates. Maintenance and right to use
fees revenue is recognized ratably over the maintenance and right to use
term.
Revenue
Recognition Criteria
The
Company defines revenue recognition criteria as follows:
·
|
Persuasive Evidence of an
Arrangement Exists.
It is the Company’s customary practice to have
a purchase order prior to recognizing revenue on an
arrangement.
|
·
|
Delivery has Occurred.
The Company’s software and systems hardware are physically
delivered and installed at its customer’s site. The Company considers
delivery complete when the software and system hardware products have been
installed and the testing phase completed. The Company defers all the
revenue until the testing phase has been completed and the Company
receives customer acceptance.
|
·
|
The Vendor’s Fee is Fixed or
Determinable.
The Company’s invoices or service agreements identify
the price for services to be rendered, and customary payment terms are
generally within 30 days after the invoice
date.
|
·
|
Collection is Reasonably
Assured.
Due to a lack of customer history upon which a judgment
could be made as to the collectability of a particular receivable, revenue
is currently recognized upon receipt of payment assuming all other
conditions of the sale have been
met.
|
Cost
of Revenue
Cost of
revenue includes costs related to user license, systems hardware and maintenance
and right to use fees revenue. Cost of user license revenue includes material,
packaging, shipping and other production costs and third party royalties. Cost
of systems hardware includes the cost of goods sold and installation costs. Cost
of maintenance and right to use fees and consulting fees include related
personnel costs, and hardware repair costs. Third party consultant fees are also
included in cost of services.
Inventory
The
Company’s inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is
determined using the first in, first out method. Unusual losses resulting from
lower of cost or market adjustments or losses on firm purchase commitments, if
any, are disclosed, and if material, separately stated from cost of goods sold
in the statement of operations.
Commitments
and Contingencies
Commitments
and contingencies are evaluated on an individual basis to determine the impact
on current and future liabilities and assets. We make a determination as to
whether such a liability or loss is reasonably possible, and we either estimate
the amount of possible loss or liability or range of loss or liability. In rare
cases, we are not able to determine the amount of such loss or liability or even
a range of amounts in a way that would not be misleading. We may be unable to
calculate a liability or loss if substantiated information is unavailable or the
amount of the loss or liability depends significantly on future
events.
In
addition to evaluating estimates relating to the items discussed above, we also
consider other estimates, including but not limited to, those related to
software development costs, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. We base
our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we
believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the
basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets, liabilities and
equity that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results and
outcomes could differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Software
Development Costs
Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 86,
“Accounting for the Costs of
Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed,”
requires
capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the
establishment of technological feasibility and readiness of general release. In
2004, certain costs were incurred subsequent to the establishment of
technological feasibility and prior to the readiness of general release. These
expenses were immaterial in nature and in total and therefore not
capitalized. We also license from a third party the use of certain
software that we utilize in our products. These computer software
license fees are expensed as incurred.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
carrying value of cash, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses
and notes payable approximate fair value because of the relatively short
maturity of these instruments.
Stock
Based Compensation
The
Company follows guidance provided in SFAS No. 123(R),
“Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation,”
which requires companies to recognize expense for stock
based awards issued to employees or outside consultants based on their estimated
fair value on the grant date. We have elected to use the
Black-Scholes Pricing Model to value these awards.
Income
Taxes
The
Company, a “C” corporation, accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109,
“Accounting for Income
Taxes.”
Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of
assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws
that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation
allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the
amount expected to be realized. The principal differences are net operating
losses, startup costs and the use of accelerated depreciation methods to
calculate depreciation expense for income tax purposes.
Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities
In
January 2003 and revised December 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46
, “Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities.”
This interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin
No. 51
, “Consolidated
Financial Statements,”
requires consolidation by business enterprises of
variable interest entities, as defined, when certain conditions are met.
Pursuant to FIN No. 46, the Company continues to consolidate CASCommunications,
Inc.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
For the
quarter ended March 31 2009, the Company incurred a net loss from operations of
$320,636 compared with a loss from operation of $319,517 for the quarter ended
March 31, 2008. We recognized an overall net income of $388,571 for
the quarter ended March 31, 2009, as compared to an overall net loss of $404,873
for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Cash on hand was $1,054,261 as
of March 31, 2009 compared with $398,978 as of December 31, 2008. Our
gross revenues increased from $1,926,142 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 to
$2,179,085, which is attributable to continued and growing profitability of
American Marketing and Sales on an entity level, which continues to expand its
customer base as to its Green Line caterware and office
products. Gross margin decreased from $465,674 for the quarter ended
March 31, 2008 to $169,784 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. This
is due primarily to a current quarter increase in cost of goods sold
attributable to the higher cost of manufacturing GreenLine products from
recycled materials. On the expense side, the Company has diligently
pruned its expenses and settled many outstanding
liabilities. NetSymphony and QoVox continue to struggle with product
development, particularly in the current financial climate. All
potential customers have delayed trials of the NetSymphony’s Maestro VoIP
testing system and it is not expected that serious trials by any potential
customer will begin earlier than the third quarter of 2009.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The
Company’s management, consisting of James Murphy, our Chief Executive Officer,
evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of March 31, 2009. Based upon
this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that, as of March 31,
2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in providing
reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports
that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified
in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
As a
result of our December 31, 2008 audit, we have learned that our disclosure
controls and procedures have failed to properly account for the provisions of
SFAS 5
“Contingencies.”
These issues were not detected to allow timely decisions regarding their
accounting and disclosure. Corrective action will be taken in the
future to properly evaluate and disclose Company’s liabilities as required by
SFAS 5. The Company will ensure that each liability is reviewed
under SFAS 5, which will be accomplished by hiring a CFO and implementing
further training of current personnel. Additional written policy
guidance will also be adopted.
Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our Chief
Executive Officer is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the Company. Internal control over financial
reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. Our management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2009 based
on criteria established in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework” issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based
on this assessment, the Company’s management concluded that, as of March 31,
2009, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not
effective.
As a
result of our December 31, 2008 audit, we learned that our internal controls
over financial reporting failed to properly account for the provisions of SFAS
5,
“Contingencies.”
Corrective action will be taken in the future to properly evaluate and disclose
Company’s liabilities as required by SFAS 5. The Company will
ensure that each liability is reviewed under SFAS 5, which will be accomplished
by hiring a CFO and implementing further training of current
personnel. Additional written policy guidance will also be
adopted.
There was
no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule
13a-15(f) or Rule 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended) during our last fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2009 and our year ended
December 31, 2008 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
On March
14, 2007, QoVox was sued in the General District Court of Justice for $7,200 by
Joseph L. Turgeon, a past consultant, concerning consulting fees alleged to be
owed from March 2004. On March 26, 2009, Mr. Turgeon obtained a writ of
execution in the amount of $9,224.
In July
2003, the Company signed a promissory note with a professional for fees and the
interest on unpaid fees due that professional through September 30, 2003 in the
amount of $247,007. The note was due on August 15, 2003 and was guaranteed
personally by the Company’s Chairman. The note stated an interest rate of 18%
per annum, which had been accrued since the note’s inception. No
significant payments had been made on the note, and on September 25, 2007, the
note holder filed suit, seeking to have a judgment rendered against the Company
for all amounts claimed due. On June 23, 2008, the court entered an order for
judgment for the full principal and interest on the promissory
note. On August 15, 2008, the parties entered into a settlement
agreement before entry of a final judgment requiring the Company to pay the
plaintiff in full settlement of this case, the sum of $555,000. After making an
initial payment of $100,000 under the settlement, the Company defaulted and on
February 18, 2009, the court entered final judgment for plaintiff in the amount
of $457,927. Additional negotiations ensued and the Company and plaintiff
entered into a second settlement agreement wherein plaintiff will accept (in
escrow) 10 million Company common shares as payment of the judgment if the sale
of American Marketing and the change of control of the Company are concluded on
or before June 1, 2009. If not, the second settlement is void and the
10 million shares in escrow are to be returned.

DATAMEG
CORPORATION
2150
South 1300 East, Suite 500
Salt
Lake City, UT 84106
May 18,
2009
Dear
Shareholder:
The Board
of Directors of Datameg Corporation (the "Company") has approved entry into two
material transactions and the Company has entered into those transactions.
First, the Company, as the seller, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and
purchase money promissory note Assignment and Assumption Agreement incident to
its proposed sale of its wholly owned subsidiary American Marketing & Sales,
Inc. (“American Marketing”), a Massachusetts corporation to Blue Earth
Solutions, Inc. (“Blue Earth”), a Nevada corporation. Second, the Company
entered into a Share Exchange Agreement to acquire Natural Blue Resources, Inc.
(“NBR”), a Nevada corporation.
The
Board's action to sell American Marketing is subject to the consent by a
majority of the Company's shares because American Marketing represents a
majority of the Company’s assets.
The
Board’s action to acquire NBR is subject to the consent by a majority interest
of the Company’s shareholders because the transaction calls for a 1 for
100 reverse stock split and a change of control. The shareholders of
NBR are to transfer all of NBR's issued and outstanding shares of capital stock
("Shares") to the Company and such Shares are to be converted into and exchanged
for shares of the Company's common stock, equaling upon completion of this share
exchange ninety percent (90%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the
Company. A majority in interest of the Company current shareholders must consent
to the 1 for 100 reverse stock split reducing the Company’s outstanding shares
to approximately 4.9 million common shares pre-closing and to approximately 49
million shares after the closing of the Share Exchange. Subject to the closing
of the acquisition of NBR, the Board is also seeking the consent by a majority
of the Company’s shares to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to change the
name of the Company to Natural Blue Resources, Inc.
The Board
of Directors considers the sale of American Marketing and acquisition of NBR to
be necessary for the Company to adequately pursue shareholder value. We urge you
to read the accompanying written consent solicitation carefully, as it contains
a detailed explanation of the proposed transactions and amendments and the
reasons for the proposed transactions and amendments. The Board of Directors
believes the proposed sale of American Marketing and acquisition of NBR to be in
the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.
Please
complete, date and sign the enclosed written consent solicitation and return it
promptly in the enclosed envelope on or before June 18, 2009 to ensure that your
vote is counted with respect to the proposed amendments to the Company's
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.
Sincerely,
/s/ James
Murphy
