NEW WORLD BRANDS, INC. AND SUBSID
IARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A LIQUIDITY
New World Brands financial position has continued to decline in the third quarter of 2010. The companys decision to discontinue its carrier business has reduced the losses, reduced the revenue and the volume of cash through the company. The cash balance of the company continues to trend downward to about half the balance as at June 30, 2010 and approximately 89% less than at December 31, 2009. The current ratio has dropped to 0.32:1.0 and the majority of the current assets are represented by TELES inventory. We cannot meet our current obligations with the current available assets. We are past due and/or in default on meeting short term obligations and do not have any immediate sources of obtaining capital. Our status as a going concern is at risk unless we improve our sales, identify new sources of capital, and/or restructure our debts and obligations. We have significantly reduced our costs of operations and our cash-flow breakeven in our fiscal fourth quarter will be lower than that of our fiscal third quarter (which has already declined by approximately 67% over the previous year). We are in the process of restructuring much of our short term debt with TELES AG and, if successful, the impact may have a significant impact on our asset/liability ratio and improve our current assets to liabilities position. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in any of our present negotiations with TELES or otherwise.
NOTE B ORGANIZATION, CAPITALIZATION, AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Basis of Presentation
New World Brands, Inc. (
New World Brands
,
the Company
,
NWB
,
we
,
us
or
our
) is a Delaware corporation that is engaged in the telecommunications business. Recently, the Company has maintained three operating divisions: NWB Networks, which is focused on the telecommunications hardware business and delivers voice over internet equipment, support, and solutions as a reseller of the TELES AG line of products in North America; NWB Telecom, which acted as a long distance wholesale termination provider and primarily offers international routes to domestic carriers for the termination of voice over internet phone service; and NWB Retail, organized in the third quarter of 2009. In August, 2010, the Company made the decision to close the Telecom and Retail divisions and focus its resources on the Networks division.
The Company also operates two legal entities in Mexico as subsidiaries to support our operations.
Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
NWB Networks
: Revenue is recognized when goods are shipped to or picked up by the customer from our facilities. Services and support revenue is recognized on a ratable basis over the service period as services and support are provided to the customer. Sales of equipment and software requiring the installation of equipment and or software are recognized when the customer has accepted that the installation is completed and acknowledges such through a formal process.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications of amounts previously reported have been made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements in order to maintain consistency and comparability between periods presented.
Reserves and Allowances
Bad Debt:
The Company maintains a reserve for bad debt based on historical activity and economic conditions specific to each division. We have increased our reserve when compared to the same period a year ago primarily to account for increased risk of non-payment due to the current poor general economic conditions. The reserve for bad debt was approximately $815,000 and $145,000 at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
Disputes:
The Company maintains a reserve against invoices booked on the NWB Telecom revenue for possible customer disputes on the bill for telecommunications services that we provide our customers. We allow a 30 day period for customers to dispute our bill to them and the reserve we maintain is based on historical rates of disputes that we have encountered per 30 day period. This amount is independent of any reserve that we maintain associated with a reserve for bad debts.
Inventory:
We maintain a reserve for obsolescence of inventory based on the nature of the equipment and our ability to upgrade it to current status. The age of the inventory and return policy of the vendor is taken into consideration in determining the reserve.
Consolidation:
New World Brands has two foreign subsidiaries in Mexico that are controlled by the Company. These subsidiaries commenced operations in the month of July 2009 and maintain their books using US GAAP for reporting and consolidation purposes of the companys quarterly and annual reports while also keeping an adjusted record under Mexican GAAP for local tax filing. Intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidation.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include information or notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders equity and cash flows in conformity with US GAAP. However, all normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to make the consolidated financial statements not misleading have been included. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other interim period.
In preparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and income and expenses during the reporting period.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (
FASB
) issued Accounting Standards Update (
ASU
) 2010-19, Multiple Foreign Currency Exchange Rates (Topic 830). The amendments in this Update are effective for reported balances in an entitys financial statements that differ from their underlying U.S. dollar denominated values occurring in the first interim or annual period ending on or after March 15, 2010. The amendments are to be applied retrospectively. The Company adopted these amendments in 2010 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the disclosures in the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-18, Receivables (Topic 310): Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan is Part of a Pool That Is Accounted for as a Single Asset. The amendments in this Update are effective for modifications of loans accounted for within pools under Subtopic 310-30 occurring in the first interim or annual period ending on or after July 15, 2010. The amendments are to be applied prospectively. Early application is permitted. The Company adopted these amendments in the third quarter of 2010 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the disclosures in the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-17, Revenue RecognitionMilestone Method, which provides guidance on defining the milestone and determining when the use of the milestone method of revenue recognition for research and development transactions is appropriate. It provides criteria for evaluating if the milestone is substantive and clarifies that a vendor can recognize consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a milestone as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved, if the milestone meets all the criteria to be considered substantive. ASU 2010-17 is effective for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 with prospective application. Early adoption is permitted with specific provisions. The Company adopted these amendments in the third quarter of 2010 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the disclosures in the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives. ASU 2010-11 clarifies that the only form of an embedded credit derivative that is exempt from embedded derivative bifurcation requirements are those that relate to the subordination of one financial instrument to another. As a result, entities that have contracts containing an embedded credit derivative feature in a form other than such subordination may need to separately account for the embedded credit derivative feature. The Company adopted these amendments in the third quarter of 2010 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the disclosures in the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14, Software (Topic 985) Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). ASU 2009-14 requires tangible products that contain software and non-software elements that work together to deliver the products essential functionality to be evaluated under the accounting standard regarding multiple deliverable arrangements. This standard update may be adopted prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after the date of adoption or retrospectively for all revenue arrangements for all periods presented. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13 (Topic 605-25), Revenue Recognition; Multiple-Element Arrangements. These amendments provide clarification on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the arrangement should be separated, and the consideration allocated. An entity is required to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of deliverables in the absence of vendor-specific objective evidence or third-party evidence of selling price. These amendments also eliminate the use of the residual method and require an entity to allocate revenue using the relative selling price method. The amendments significantly expand the disclosure requirements for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. These provisions are to be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with earlier application permitted. The Company adopted these amendments in the third quarter of 2010 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the disclosures in the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosure about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses, which will require additional disclosures about the credit quality of loans, lease receivables and other long-term receivables and the related allowance for credit losses. Certain additional disclosures in this new accounting guidance will be effective for the Company on December 31, 2010 with certain other additional disclosures that will be effective on March 31, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new accounting guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-13, Compensation Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades. ASU 2010-13 provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entitys equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in ASU 2010-13 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010 and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
Financial Instruments and Fair Values
The fair value of a financial instrument represents the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based upon relevant market information about the financial instrument.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other assets approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The fair values of all other financial instruments, including debt, approximate their book values as the instruments are short-term in nature or contain market rates of interest.

NOTE E NOTES PAYABLE
P&S Credit Line
The current balance outstanding has been maintained at $1,050,000. This balance is unchanged from the previous quarter. There is no longer a requirement for maintenance of covenants as per the latest amendment to the agreement. However, the company is no longer in compliance with other terms of the loan agreement as per the most recent loan documents and amendments to such. The most recent interest rate paid on this loan was 5.25% per the September 2010 interest charge. This loan is paid interest only during its term with the entire balance due upon maturity in May of 2012. The company is delinquent in its interest payments, and unpaid interest on this loan at September 30, 2010 of approximately $23,000 is due. P & S has not issued any official notice of default to the Company. The total due to P & S Spirit including interest is $1,073,000.
Subsequent to quarter end the company paid P & S Spirit the past due interest payments of approximately $23,000. The company continues negotiating the restructure of this debt. However, there is no guarantee that such negotiations will be resolved successfully.
The principals of P&S Spirit LLC include Dr. Selvin Passen, who had been a director and is currently a shareholder of the Company, as well as its former Chief Executive Officer and director
TELES Loan Agreement
On February 21, 2008, the Company and TELES entered into a Term Loan and Security Agreement, effective February 15, 2008 (the
TELES Loan Agreement
, and the loan thereunder, the
TELES Loan
), providing the Company a loan of up to the principal amount of $1,000,000 (the
Commitment
) pursuant to which, from time to time prior to February 1, 2009 or the earlier termination in full of the Commitment, the Company could obtain advances from TELES up to the amount of the outstanding Commitment. Amounts borrowed may not be borrowed again, notwithstanding any payments thereunder. The outstanding balance of the TELES Loan will be due and payable on or before February 1, 2012. The outstanding principal amount of the TELES Loan is payable in 12 approximately equal quarterly installments commencing May 1, 2009. The Company executed on a portion of this agreement in December of 2008 by offsetting $600,000 of trade payables due to TELES towards the loan facility. On January 19, 2009 the company drew an amount of $400,000 paid in cash by TELES AG within the context of the TELES Loan Agreement bringing the total draw to the maximum amount of $1,000,000 as per the loan agreement. TELES AG and New World Brands also agreed at that time to a reduction in the interest rate of the loan from 7% as per the original agreement to a rate of 5% commencing on the draw of the first funds pursuant to this loan agreement.
The Company maintains its balance on the TELES loan unchanged from the prior quarter. The interest rate on this loan is a fixed rate of 5%. The Company is currently delinquent on its interest payment obligations loan to TELES. We are in the process of negotiating revised terms and conditions in connection with the TELES loan and the current accounts payables due to TELES AG. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in such efforts.
SSB and P&S loans
Effective June 19, 2009, New World Brands, Inc. entered into a Loan Agreement with Sigram Schindler Beteiligungsgesellschaft GmbH (
SSB
), pursuant to which SSB agreed to loan the Company up to $250,000 at an interest rate of 18% per annum with an original maturity date of December 31, 2009 (
SSB Loan
). The Company received $125,000 under the SSB Loan from SSB on June 19, 2009.
Effective June 19, 2009, the Company entered in to a Loan Agreement with P&S Spirit Investments, a general partnership (P
&S
) of which Dr. Selvin Passen, MD, is Manager (
P&S Loan
). The P&S Loan contemplates a loan to the Company by P&S of up to $250,000 with an initial maturity date of December 31, 2009 and payable with interest at 18% per annum. The Company has $99,000 outstanding as of September 30, 2010 with respect to the P&S Loan, with the reduction in amount being the result of offsets from other agreements. The P&S general partnership included individuals and/or investments by individuals who were both related parties to the Company and/or officers and/or directors or employees of the Company and/or relatives thereof. In addition to being a Director of P&S, Dr. Passen is a former Director of the Company.
These loans are all currently still outstanding, and while the lenders once agreed to extend them beyond their original maturity date, and have not called the notes as of November 15, 2010, the Company is now in default on the payments due on these loans, as well as on the principle, and there is no guarantee that any of the lenders will not call the notes or pursue legal action in an attempt to recover their loaned funds, (as Noah Kamrat did see Part II, Item 1, Legal Matters, below). The notes are considered due on demand and have been classified as current liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Amendments to loan covenants
Amendments to both the P&S credit line and the TELES Loan were agreed to by all parties effective June 29, 2009 that temporarily waived the covenants relating to certain financial ratios in these agreements. Agreement has been reached to extend the P&S waiver to December 31, 2011.
Other loans
We have a total of approximately $6,000 of principal remaining in a loan on one company-owned vehicle. The balance is for a Toyota pick-up truck that carries a term of 3 years and an interest rate of 0%, and is due to expire in the first quarter of 2011.
Total maturities of all notes payable as of September 30, 2010 were as follows:

NOTE H INCOME TAXES
We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740,
Accounting for Income Taxes,
which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. 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. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets amounts expected to be realized. US income taxes are not provided on undistributed earnings, which are expected to be permanently reinvested by the foreign subsidiary, unless the earnings can be repatriated in a tax-free or cash-flow neutral manner.
The Company adopted the policy of recognizing interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax positions as income tax expense. Tax years 2006-2009 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.
The following schedule provides an analysis of our position in connection with relevant and material consolidated income tax provisions for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

As of September 30th, 2010, the Company had U.S. net operating losses of approximately $12.2 million that can be carried forward for up to twenty years and deducted against future taxable income. The net operating loss carryforwards expire in various years through 2030. The company also has a U.S. capital loss carryforward of approximately $4.6 million that can be carried forward for five years and deducted against future capital gain income. The capital loss carryforward expires in 2012.
As of September 30th, 2010, the Company also had Mexican net operating losses of approximately $265,000 that can be carried forward for up to ten years and deducted against future taxable income.
In assessing the ability to realize a portion of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the
scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in making the assessment. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of September 30th, 2010 was $7.2 million. The decrease in the valuation allowance was approximately $0.7 million for the quarter ended September 30th, 2010, which was primarily due to operational losses for the year.
NOTE I AEROPOINTE ACQUISITION
In connection with the terms of the agreement between New World Brands Inc and Aeropointe Partners Inc., the company has issued shares to Aeropointe and to its former principals. On Feb 25, 2010, shares in the amount of 8,821,791 were issued from New World Brands common stock to Aeropointe Partners Inc. These shares were offset against a liability that was on the books of New World Brands as at December 31, 2009 in the amount of $55,868 which has now been eliminated and offset to equity.
The total purchase price was $301,820, of which consideration valued at$55,868 is payable on January 15, 2010, in the form of 8,821,791 shares of common stock. The net purchase price amount of $245,952 was paid in the form of 38,836,583 shares of common stock issued effective September 1, 2009. The seller had agreed to contribute capital as consideration for issuance of the common stock, in the amount of $100,000, which was paid to the Company in October 2009. The consideration has been reported as part of accounts receivable. The company acquired intangible assets valued at $38,405 at the date of acquisition, and satisfied accounts payable to the seller of $163,416. The New World Brands common stock issued to the seller was valued based upon the average price of NWB stock for the ninety day period prior to the effective date of the acquisition at a price of $0.006333 per share. The difference between the issue price in the acquisition and the par value of the shares issued, $84,511, was recorded as a reduction in additional paid in capital in the third quarter of 2009. The balance of the intangible asset booked was written off in the second quarter of 2010 based on a valuation of future benefit of the asset. It was determined that it no longer had future benefit. As of September 30, 2010 there are no assets reflecting the intangible value of this acquisition.
On March 22, 2010, 10,717,124 were issued to each of Steven Bell and Shawn Lane from New World Brands common stock based on the terms of the agreement for the issuance of performance shares when certain performance thresholds as outlined in the Aeropointe Acquisition agreement were met. The thresholds were not met and the shares were issued in error. The Company later rescinded and cancelled the shares on June 15, 2010.
NOTE J RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
We currently lease approximately 2,000 square feet of office space in McKinney, Texas(which is presently unoccupied) from a company controlled by our former CEO [R. Steven Bell] and former COO [Shawn Lane] pursuant to a $2,500 monthly lease expiring in December of 2010. The rate was evaluated at a market or below rate at the time but given the decline in the real estate market, the rent may exceed current market value. The Company employed a cleaning company owned by Mr Bell to provide janitorial services to our offices at a cost of approximately $400 per month. The Company also entered into an equipment reseller agreement with a business, Solutioneering, which lists Mr. Bell and Mr. Lane among its officers. As of September 30, 2010, there have been no transactions with this company.
Currently the company is in negotiations with the landlord, Mr. Bell and Mr. Lane, to settle the rent due on the remaining lease term. The outcome is uncertain so the full amount of the commitment is included in the future commitments for operating leases.
NOTE K COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
R. Steven Bell Litigation
Concurrent with the termination of Mr. Bell from his positions as CEO and President of the Company, the Company was compelled to file a lawsuit in the District Court of Collin County, Texas against Mr. Bell coupled with a request for the institution of a temporary restraining order (
TRO
). The lawsuit contains causes of action against Mr. Bell including breach of fiduciary duty, trespass, conversion, breach of computer security and other violations related to actions the Company alleges Mr. Bell took while CEO and President of the Company and subsequent to his termination. Pursuant to a court order under the TRO, the Company has since taken possession of its files and other property. The action against Mr. Bell has been abated while the matter is assigned to binding arbitration.
TroyGould, P.C. Lawsuit
On or about October 15, 2010, the Company was served with a complaint filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Los Angeles, California by the law firm of TroyGould, P.C. The lawsuit alleged breach of contract and demand on account payable for payment of past due legal fees and expenses in the amount of $46,885.
CRG West
CRG West, a Los Angeles-based company
from which NWB had been leasing space for equipment, has claimed $24,000 from
NWB in allegedly overdue rent payments and holdover fees. The claims were first
made by email in May 2009, for a smaller amount, and then progressed to a
collection agency. NWB has retained an LA-based attorney, Gerard Casale, to
defend its interests and argue what NWB believes is a valid defense in this
matter. CRG and their agency did not file suit on this matter in a court of law
and the matter was settled in principal by execution of a settlement agreement
between the parties, pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay $7,500 to CRG
in return for a full satisfaction of all claims by CRG against the Company. We
believe we have a settlement in principle with CRG and await completion and
closing of same.
Shawn Lane
On August 2, 2010, Shawn Lane, former
Chief Operating Officer, filed suit in the Circuit Court for the State of
Texas, Case # 296- 3160-2010 against the Company alleging breach of contract,
unjust enrichment and damages in the amount of $147,000. This claim has been
resolved pursuant to a written settlement agreement with a release of all
claims, pending completion of the settlement terms and conditions. Mr. Lane
has since claimed that the Company has failed to perform under the settlement
agreement and the Company is presently investigating such allegations and
further the nature and extent of the representations made by Mr. Lane to the
Company in the inducement of the settlement in addition to the economic benefit
actually received by Mr. Lane.
Cynthia Scoble
Cynthia
Scoble, the Company’s former controller issued letters to the Company on June 7
and July 12, 2010, demanding in excess of $20,763 in employment related claims.
To our knowledge, Ms. Scoble has not yet filed a claim in Court on this matter,
and there is no guarantee that such a case will not be filed.
American Express Demand
On
or about September 9, 2010, American Express issued a letter to the Company
demanding immediate payment of over $82,000 in credit card bills past due. The
Company made an initial payment against such amount outstanding and has since
been in negotiations with American Express regarding the balance.
Shehryar Wahid
The
company resolved a dispute with its current CEO and President, Shehryar Wahid,
and entered into a settlement agreement on August 31, 2010 to satisfy a claim
of back wages on the resignation of Mr. Wahid as the company’s CFO. The dispute
with Mr. Wahid was resolved with the commitment to exchange certain equipment
in the amount of $115,000 in consideration of mutual release of claims and
other good and valuable consideration.
Various Wage Claims
Several
former employees in Texas have filed and may file a Wage Claims for unpaid
wages with the Texas Workforce Commission and the Company intends to review
each claim with legal counsel.
Tax Matters
The
Company has received notice from the Internal Revenue Service (“
IRS
”)
regarding a failure to file 2006 payroll tax returns. In 2006 Qualmax merged
with New World Brands and the post transaction combined entity filed tax
remittances under separate tax identification numbers for each of the
pre-transaction entities. The Company believes that this matter should be
resolved with the IRS without further incident.
The Company has also received a notice
of delinquency from the California Franchise Tax Board in connection with what
is alleged as a failure to file tax returns in 2006.The Company is in the
process of responding to the request and believes that no further incident
shall result from this notice.
Piecom Tech Litigation
Effective July 1, 2007 we sold our
subsidiary, IP Gear Ltd., to TELES (“
TELES Agreement
”). A
material aspect of the TELES Agreement included a commitment of the Company to
indemnify, hold harmless and defend TELES and IP Gear, Ltd. against any
liabilities arising from the Piecom Tech litigation (herein). As a part
of the consideration for such an obligation, the Company is entitled to the
proceeds, if any, of the Piecom Tech litigation.
The matter has now been referred from
the Mediator to the Court and neither party has furthered the prosecution of
the case. At present, management does not believe this matter poses any
significant financial risk to the Company.
NOTE
L SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS
The company moved its corporate offices
from Texas to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida in October of 2010. The premises in Ft.
Lauderdale are leased from a company that is in part owned by a shareholder and
former director of the company, Dr Selvin Passen. The lease rate is well below
market rates and for a short term so as to allow the company to make a more
deliberate decision on its premises needs.
New World Brands entered into an
agreement to sell the rights to the proceeds of a receivable to an investor and
former Director of the company, Dr Selvin Passen on November 3, 2010 for a
present value discounted amount of cash, which was paid to the Company in the
first week of November 2010. The funds provided necessary liquidity for the
company while it reorganized itself.
The
company made a number of months of interest payments to P & S Spirit
towards delinquent balances due. Payments totaling approximately $23,000 were
made in early November to satisfy obligations through September 30, 2010.
Former legal counsel Yigal Kahana
submitted a demand for back wages and breach of contract subsequent to quarter
end in the middle of October 2010. At present, the company is engaged in
discussion to address this matter.

We have based such forward-looking statements on our current expectations,
assumptions, estimates and projections, and therefore there can be no assurance
that any forward-looking statement contained herein, or otherwise made by the
Company, will prove to be accurate. The Company assumes no obligation to update
the forward-looking statements.
The Company has been in the telecom
hardware and carrier business for over three years which is a relatively
limited operating history compared to others in the same business and operates
in a rapidly changing industry environment. Its ability to predict results or
the actual effects of future plans or strategies, based on historical results
or trends or otherwise, is inherently uncertain. While we believe that these
forward-looking statements are reasonable, they are merely predictions or
illustrations of potential outcomes, and they involve known and unknown risks
and uncertainties, many beyond our control, that are likely to cause actual
results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from those
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could
have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects of the
Company on a condensed basis include those factors discussed under Item 1A
“Risk Factors” and Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Conditions and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed on April 15, 2010. These factors that could have a material adverse
effect on the Company include, but are not limited to, the following:
·
|
The
continuation of the downturn in the economy and therefore the market for, or
supply of, our core products and services, could reduce our revenue and gross
profit margin by placing downward pressure on prices and sales volume, and we
may not accurately anticipate changing supply and demand conditions;
|
·
|
We
have a limited backlog, or “pipeline,” of product and services orders, and we
do not control the manufacturing of the core products we distribute and sell,
exposing our future revenues and profits to fluctuations and risks of supply
interruptions or rapid declines in demand;
|
·
|
We
have recurring quarterly and annual losses and continuing negative cash flow,
which may continue, which have required us to reduce costs
relative to gross margins;
|
·
|
The
company is dependent upon the sale of technology equipment, the TALKBox® , to
governmental agencies for some of its revenue, and this source of revenue is
subject to actions associated with public policy decisions that lie outside
of our control and ability to project including certain factors such as the
budgetary approval process and sudden changes in governmental priorities;
|
·
|
We
may not be able to raise necessary additional capital, and may not be able to
reduce costs sufficiently to reverse our negative cash flow, absent
additional capital;
|
·
|
If
we are successful in raising additional capital, it will likely dilute
current shareholders’ ownership;
|
·
|
Reductions
in staffing and the impact that they may have on controls, processes, and
procedures may negatively impact our ability to best manage our business
within the guidelines of an SEC regulated public company;
|
·
|
We
may not be able to effectively contain corporate overhead and other costs,
including the costs of operating a public company, relative to our profits
and cash; and
|
|
|
·
|
Changes
in laws or regulations, or regulatory practices, and the costs of complying
with them, in the United States and internationally, may increase our costs
or may prohibit continued operations or entry into some areas of business.
|
·
|
We
are unable to pay all of our currently due debts with the Company’s current
assets, and may not be able to renegotiate with all creditors and contracted
parties, which presents a significant risk of the Company being drained
further of already sparse resources by claims and/or litigation, and the
efforts that will most likely be required to avert or settle claims being
made on the Company’s current obligations.

Overview
of Business
A detailed review of the Company’s
business is provided in Item 1, “Description of Business” in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K, filed on April 15, 2009, which is incorporated herein
by reference.
In the third quarter of 2009 the Company
completed the setup of a Mexican business location, at Paseo de La Presa de la
Olla, Guanajuato, GTO, Mexico 36000, in order to better meet the challenges of
expanding business in Central and South America. To promote and expand its
Mexican business interests, the Company completed the certification and
organization of two fully-consolidated Mexican corporations, Wahid y Asociados,
SA de CV, and NWB Technologies de Mexico S de RL de CV, located at the above
Guanajuato address, which completed the process of receiving appropriate
business licensing in Leon, Mexico effective July 7, 2009.
Our Mexican operations have not met our
planned expectations, and as a result are in the process of being scaled down.
The Company’s Mexican employees associated with the carrier division are being
terminated pursuant to and in full accordance with Mexican law, and the related
Mexican lease shall expire according to our agreement.
On October 5, 2009, New World
Brands, Inc. executed an asset purchase agreement, with an effective date
of September 1, 2009, in which the Company agreed to acquire certain
assets of Aeropointe Partners Inc., a Texas Corporation. As part of the
acquisition, the Company agreed to integrate five of Aeropointe’s staff members
including officers and employees including R. Steven Bell, the CEO of
Aeropointe, and Shawn Lane, the President of Aeropointe. Please see the
Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 9,
2009.
In the second quarter of 2010, the
Company transitioned its headquarters from Eugene, Oregon to McKinney, Texas
and since the end of the third quarter has moved to its present location in Ft.
Lauderdale, Florida.
On August 9, 2010,, the Company’s Board
of Directors authorized by written resolution to terminate the Company’s
Telecom carrier division. The Company has also ceased all Retail calling card
operations. The Company is now solely focused on the sale of hardware products
and support services. The Mexican subsidiaries and Aeropointe acquisition are
being reported as part of NWB’s carrier division, NWB Telecom, which will be
closed as described herein. The Mexican subsidiaries included a network
operations center for our carrier division. The company may choose to retask
its carrier staff in Mexico to the support of the hardware division.
The Company has undergone sudden
and material management changes in the period of August 31, 2010 through
October 19, 2010. On August 31, 2010, Shehryar Wahid resigned as CFO and board
member to the Company. On September 17, 2010, Dr. Selvin Passen resigned as a
member of the Company’s Board of Directors and Nitin Amersey was elected to the
Company’s Board of Directors. Mr. Amersey was appointed Chairman of the
Company’s Board of Directors on September 22, 2010 and David Kamrat resigned as
Chairman on such date. Also on September 22, 2010, R. Steven Bell was
terminated by the Company as its CEO and President. The Company appointed
Jeffrey Burke as interim CEO and President on September 22, 2010 and Mr. Burke
was appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors on October 1, 2010. Mr.
Burke thereafter resigned as CEO and President on October 14, 2010 and Shehryar
Wahid was appointed CEO and President on October 19, 2010. Also on October
19, 2010, R. Steven Bell resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors.
Presently, the Company’s Board of
Directors consists of, Jeffrey Burke, David Kamrat and Nitin Amersey
[Chairman]. The Company’s current officers are Shehryar Wahid as CEO,
President and Scott B. Dubs as Acting Chief Financial Officer.
The company has
recently made the decision to take an impairment write-down for its fixed
assets associated with its now discontinued carrier division. A detailed
analysis of the assets is being conducted and at this time the company has
chosen to take to conservative view and take a writedown on those assets
primarily associated with the now discontinued carrier business to only those
that are in our direct possession. There had been assets located in many
collocation facilities in other countries as part of our carrier network and we
may not be able to recover all of the equipment. The intention of the company
is to consolidate and liquidate those carrier assets in its possession to
address debt obligations.

The
Company has sold TELES equipment as an exclusive distributor since July, 2007,
with the TELES line having become our dominant hardware product line. The
Company’s exclusivity was ended in July of 2010, after the end of the second
quarter of 2010, and the Company is no longer an exclusive distributor of TELES
equipment. The Company does remain an authorized TELES distributor. The table
below shows the portion of NWB Networks divisional revenue, gross profit and
gross profit margin attributable to sales of TELES products, in comparison to
sales of all other products in the NWB Networks division, during the years of
2010, 2009 and 2008 on a quarterly and year-end basis.
The method of accounting for shipping in
the cost of goods sold (“
COGS
”) for the NWB Networks division
changed in Fiscal Year 2009. Previously, TELES and non-TELES sales were
accounted for as separate divisions within the company, with all costs for NWB
Networks specifically allocated to one product line or the other. The two
product lines of the NWB Networks division have been combined for accounting
purposes, with all costs, including the shipping costs, a part of COGS,
accounted for in aggregate. For all 2010 and 2009 numbers in the tables below,
the shipping cost portion of COGS is divided between TELES and non-TELES
products proportionately to the revenue derived from each product line. The
values for 2008 are accounted using the method in use at that time, with
shipping costs allocated specifically to the cost of goods sold for either
TELES or non-TELES products.

The majority of our TELES equipment
sales during the third quarter of 2010 consisted of TELES’s mobile fixed
wireless application gateways which were marketed under the iGate and vGate
names. TELES mobile gateways provide a consolidated mobile, public switched
telephone network (PSTN) and VoIP gateway solution to carriers and corporate
network customers seeking to connect their private branch exchange (PBX) to
mobile and VoIP services, and can be added to integrated services digital
network (ISDN) and Internet protocol (IP) environments for least cost routing
and other advanced call routing and rerouting applications. Demand for the
iGate and vGate products slowed along with the demand for TELES equipment in
general in the last two quarters of 2008 and first two quarters of 2009 due in
part to the broad decline in economic conditions, then substantially recovered
by the first quarter of 2010, when sales for this equipment were more than
double what they were in the first quarter of 2009. In the second quarter of
2010 sales declined by 5.9% from the second quarter of 2009. Sales in the third
quarter of 2010 dropped off substantially as a result of many issues relating
to staffing, resource limitation and market focus.
All purchases are invoiced in Euro
currency. As a result, we have a certain exposure to currency risk to the
extent the relative value of the US dollar (“
USD
”) drops compared
to the Euro. Increases in our exposure to currency risk due to the growth of
our Euro-denominated inventory has been partially offset by payment agreements
between NWB and TELES designed to mitigate such risk. The dollar has declined
against the Euro during the third quarter of 2010, with the exchange rate
shifting from $1.26 USD to the Euro at the beginning of the third quarter of
2010 to $1.36 USD to the Euro as of September 30, 2010 and there is no
assurance the currency ratios will not materially negatively affect us going
forward.
All products presently purchased from
TELES AG have been purchased in the past within the context of the “
TELES
Partner Agreement
.” TELES AG issued a letter to the Company on
July 2, 2010 indicating a unilateral change in the terms of the TELES Partner
Agreement. The primary impact of the changes is that we will no
longer have geographic exclusivity to the TELES brand and products for the
majority of North America. The letter also addresses the balance of the
accounts payable due to TELES AG, by New World Brands. We are at present in
negotiations on this matter.
Each of three customers accounted for
10% or more revenues for continuing operations, or NWB Networks, of which two
of those customers accounted for at least 10% the combined revenue of
continuing and discontinued operations for the Company as a whole during the
three month period ending September 30, 2010, as outlined in the table below.
Furthermore, our top ten customers accounted for the vast majority of NWB
Networks revenues during the three month period ending September 30, 2010.

NWB Networks had no significant vendors
accounting for more than 10% of total Company expenditures and four accounting
for more than 10% of expenditures for NWB Networks in the third quarter of
2010. None of these significant vendors were involved in selling products to
NWB Networks for resale.

On August 9, 2010, the Company’s Board
of Directors authorized the termination of the Company’s telecommunications
carrier division. The revenues presented in this section reflect the
past performance of the Company’s Telecom division and transactions taking
place as the business was wound down, but the Company’s future reports are not
expected at this time to include the Telecom carrier division component.
Revenue and cost of goods for the NWB Telecom division (wholesale VoIP

NWB Telecom’s business model included a
portion of cost that is fixed cost and a portion of cost that was variable with
the amount of traffic we terminated. When we were able to terminate a large
volume of traffic, an increase in gross margin resulted from the portion of
cost that is fixed regardless of volume. When the volume dropped, the variable
profit declined but the fixed costs remained, and we suffered a significant
reduction in gross profit.
From time to time we prepaid certain
vendors for a portion of future services. In the event that our vendor
was unable to supply the termination services for which we prepaid, we are
unlikely to be able to recover all, if any, of such prepayments. As we
received the termination services for which we have prepaid, and now that we
will no longer be receiving such services, we are applying our related prepaid
expenses to the cost of goods sold for the now discontinued NWB Telecom
division.
The NWB Retail division was organized in
the fourth quarter of 2009. An initial project was unable to generate returns
to offset the costs of starting it up. The company recently made the decision
to not expand this activity to normal operations and wound down the division. Management
believes that the Company must focus its resources in the near term on the
sales of hardware through our NWB Networks division.

Management has concluded that the Company must in the near term focus on hardware sales through its NWB Networks division exclusively and expects results for the hardware division to improve by doing so. The emphasis of the company will be to deliver on customer expectations pre- and post-sales through better trained and equipped sales and support staff as well as engineers. Key measures such as customer acquisition rates, customer retention, and customer satisfaction will be tracked to evaluate our performance on this critical success factor for New World Brands in the future. We also no longer feel that solely providing equipment is enough to address our customers needs. The company intends to move to a solution-building approach to make the equipment perform for our customers and thus extend beyond our current offering of hardware sales only.
Summary: Company-wide and divisional revenue, gross profit and gross profit margin, on a quarterly and year-end basis, from fiscal year 2008 through year to date.
The following tables duplicate information presented elsewhere in this Item 2, but we believe that the following presentation of that information in a summary format may be helpful to shareholders and potential investors. Reference is made to similar tables showing quarterly and year end results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2009, in the Companys Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2010, under Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations. The following presentation is not intended to substitute for any other portion of this Item 2.

The increase in total expenses in the second quarter is primarily related to the write off or reserving for bad debts associated with accounts receivable. Total company expenses aside from those stated above have decreased significantly as reflected in the third quarter expenses and the expectation is that they will do so again in the last quarter of 2010 based on the complete implementation of cost savings measures already in place.
Interest
(Continuing and Discontinued Operations).
The increase in interest expense is primarily due to the short term high rate note payable agreements we engaged in during the third quarter of 2009. These notes are still outstanding and unpaid at this time.

Depreciation and amortization (Continuing and Discontinued Operations).
Amortization and depreciation for the Company increased in the first three quarters of 2010 have dropped compared to the prior year as the Companys reduced purchasing of assets is starting to reflect reduced capital investment over the last few quarters. Our U.S.-based operations currently invest very limited amounts in software technology, and as a result, our current amortization is negligible and not expected to increase in the near term.

Net loss (Continuing and Discontinued Operations).
The above factors contributed to a net loss for the Company for the three month period ended September 30, 2010. The key factors in the amount of our losses in 2009 and the first three quarters of 2010 can be attributed to a great degree to a significant loss of revenue over the prior period coupled with a reduction in gross margin on the revenue that was earned. The company has had costs associated with winding down the carrier operations in the current quarter.
The Companys net losses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, 2009, and 2008 were as follows:

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
New World Brands financial position has
continued to decline in the third quarter of 2010. The company’s decision to
discontinue its carrier business has reduced losses, reduced revenue and the
volume of cash through the company. The cash balance of the company continues
to trend downward to about half the balance as at June 30, 2010 and
approximately 89% less than at December 31, 2009. The current ratio has
dropped to 0.32:1.0 and the majority of the current assets are represented by

The company has experienced a declining
trend in terms of its liquidity position as defined by its ability to meet
short term obligations as shown in the graph above. The current
quarter is weakest of the three periods shown above from the perspective of
liquidity. We are certainly aware of the need to have sufficient cash to meet
our short term obligations and our operating expenses.
We cannot meet our current obligations
with the current available assets. We are past due and/or in default on
meeting short term obligations and do not have any immediate sources of
obtaining capital. Our status as a going concern is at risk unless we improve
our sales, identify new sources of capital, and/or restructure our debts and
obligations We have significantly reduced our costs of operations and our
cash-flow breakeven in our fiscal fourth quarter will be lower than that of our
fiscal third quarter (which has already declined by approximately 67% over the
previous year). We are in the process of restructuring much of our short term
debt with TELES AG and, if successful, the impact may have a significant
impact on our asset/liability ratio and improve our current assets to
liabilities position. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in any
of our present negotiations with TELES or otherwise.

Capital
expenditures.
The company has not made any capital
expenditures in the current quarter and with the discontinuing of the carrier
business the need for significant capital investment as in the past no longer
exists. The continuing hardware business has much less need for capital
expenditure and we do not anticipate the need for much investment to support
the operations in the near future.

The company believes that the approach
and decisions that have been made in the last fiscal quarter has resulted in
management which is now committed to reducing costs and refocusing our
resources to the area that we best feel we have the opportunity to succeed
which is hardware sales.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report and pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), the Corporations management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness and design of the Corporations disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Corporations Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Corporations disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report, in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting the information required to be disclosed by the Corporation in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
R. Steven Bell Litigation
Concurrent with the termination of Mr. Bell from his positions as CEO and President of the Company, the Company was compelled to file a lawsuit in the District Court of Collin County, Texas against Mr. Bell coupled with a request for the institution of a temporary restraining order (
TRO
). The lawsuit contains causes of action against Mr. Bell including breach of fiduciary duty, trespass, conversion, breach of computer security and other violations related to actions the Company alleges Mr. Bell took while CEO and President of the Company
and subsequent to his termination
. Pursuant to a court order under the TRO, the Company has since taken possession of its files and other property. The action against Mr. Bell has been abated while the matter is assigned to binding arbitration.
TroyGould, P.C. Lawsuit
On or about October 15, 2010, the Company was served with a complaint filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Los Angeles, California by the law firm of Troy Gould, P.C. The lawsuit alleged breach of contract and demand on account payable for payment of past due legal fees and expenses in the amount of $46,885.
CRG West
CRG West, a Los Angeles-based company from which NWB had been leasing space for equipment, has claimed $24,000 from NWB in allegedly overdue rent payments and holdover fees. The claims were first made by email in May 2009, for a smaller amount, and then progressed to a collection agency. NWB has retained an LA-based attorney, Gerard Casale, to defend its interests and argue what NWB believes is a valid defense in this matter. CRG and their agency did not file suit on this matter in a court of law and the matter was settled in principal by execution of a settlement agreement between the parties, pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay $7,500 to CRG in return for a full satisfaction of all claims by CRG against the Company. We believe we have a settlement in principle with CRG and await completion and closing of same.
Shawn Lane
On August 2, 2010, Shawn Lane, former Chief Operating Officer, filed suit in the Circuit Court for the State of Texas, Case # 296- 3160-2010 against the Company alleging breach of contract, unjust enrichment and damages in the amount of $147,000. This claim has been resolved pursuant to a written settlement agreement with a release of all claims, pending completion of the settlement terms and conditions. Mr. Lane has since claimed that the Company has failed to perform under the settlement agreement and the Company is presently investigating such allegations and further the nature and extent of the representations made by Mr. Lane to the Company in the inducement of the settlement in addition to the economic benefit actually received by Mr. Lane.
Cynthia Scoble
Cynthia Scoble, the Companys former controller issued letters to the Company on June 7 and July 12, 2010, demanding in excess of $20,763 in employment related claims. To our knowledge, Ms. Scoble has not yet filed a claim in Court on this matter, and there is no guarantee that such a case will not be filed.
American Express
Demand
On
or about September 9, 2010, American Express issued a letter to the Company
demanding immediate payment of over $82,000 in credit card bills past due. The
Company made an initial payment against such amount outstanding and has since
been in negotiations with American Express regarding the balance.
Shehryar Wahid
The
company resolved a dispute with its current CEO and President, Shehryar Wahid,
and entered into a settlement agreement on August 31, 2010 to satisfy a claim
of back wages on the resignation of Mr. Wahid as the company’s CFO. The dispute
with Mr. Wahid was resolved with the commitment to exchange certain equipment
in the amount of $115,000 in consideration of mutual release of claims and
other good and valuable consideration.
Various Wage Claims
Several
former employees in Texas have filed and may file a Wage Claims for unpaid
wages with the Texas Workforce Commission and the Company intends to review
each claim with legal counsel.
Tax Matters
The
Company has received notice from the Internal Revenue Service (“
IRS
”)
regarding a failure to file 2006 payroll tax returns. In 2006 Qualmax merged
with New World Brands and the post transaction combined entity filed tax
remittances under separate tax identification numbers for each of the
pre-transaction entities. The Company believes that this matter should be
resolved with the IRS without further incident.
The Company has also received a notice
of delinquency from the California Franchise Tax Board in connection with what
is alleged as a failure to file tax returns in 2006.The Company is in the
process of responding to the request and believes that no further incident
shall result from this notice.
Piecom Tech Litigation
Effective July 1, 2007 we sold our
subsidiary, IP Gear Ltd., to TELES (“
TELES Agreement
”). A
material aspect of the TELES Agreement included a commitment of the Company to
indemnify, hold harmless and defend TELES and IP Gear, Ltd. against any
liabilities arising from the Piecom Tech litigation (herein). As a part
of the consideration for such an obligation, the Company is entitled to the
proceeds, if any, of the Piecom Tech litigation.
The matter has now been referred from
the Mediator to the Court and neither party has furthered the prosecution of
the case. At present, management does not believe this matter poses any
significant financial risk to the Company.
ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS
Factors that could have a material
adverse effect on the operations and future prospects of the Company include
those factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the
SEC on April 15, 2010, under Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” and other factors
set forth in this Report, including without limitation under Part I, Item
2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis—Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements,” and in our other SEC filings.
The Company may prove unable to file an
FCC form 499A for past periods of its telecommunications carrier activities
given that the Company has ceased its related telecommunications carrier
activities. As such, there is a risk that it will prove impossible
to receive the requisite forms from our past customers, many of whom are out of
business, so as to enable a 499A filing for the years 2007-2008. The Company
believes that it owes no past due amounts with respect to the traffic carried
through its former carrier division, but may not be able to demonstrate that to
a sufficient degree to completely avoid incurring fines or penalties for
failure to file past due Form 499s.
The continued cutbacks in staffing
levels may result in a circumstance where no assurance can be given as to the
future effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures due to the
concentration of key activities among a few individuals and the limited scope
that may arise for the effective implementation of the Company’s current system
of financial and disclosure controls. Moreover, recent material and sudden
changes in management of the Company have added to our risks in the challenge
for new management to gain efficient access to information, controls and data
critical to our success.
The company has recently made the
decision to take an impairment write-down for its fixed assets associated with
its now discontinued carrier division. A detailed analysis of the assets is
being conducted and at this time the company has chosen to take to conservative
view and take a write-down on those assets primarily associated with the now
discontinued carrier business that are not in our direct possession. There had been
assets located in many collocation facilities in other countries as part of our
carrier network and we may not be able to recover some or all of the equipment.
The intention of the company is to consolidate and liquidate those carrier
assets in its possession to address debt obligations and regain some financial
flexibility.
