refer to the Registrant and its subsidiaries. Information regarding
the Company, Creative Management Group, Inc. and the principal terms of the
Reorganization are set forth below.
The
Reorganization
The
Reorganization. On May 27, 2008, the Company entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization Agreement” with its
controlling shareholder, Creative Management Group, Inc., a privately held
Delaware corporation (“Creative Management Group”). Upon the closing
under the Reorganization Agreement on May 27, 2008, (open to filing date) the
eighty shareholders of Creative Management Group delivered all of their equity
interests in Creative Management Group to the Company in exchange for shares of
common stock in the Company owned by Creative Management Group, as a result of
which Creative Management Group became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
(the “Reorganization”).
Pursuant
to the Reorganization Agreement, at closing, the shareholders of Creative
Management Group received one share of the Company’s common stock previously
owned by Creative Management Group for each issued and outstanding common
share owned of Creative Management Group. As a result, at closing, the
22,135,148 shares of the Company that were issued and previously owned by
Creative Management Group, are now owned directly by its
shareholders. The 22,135,148 of Creative Management
Group previously owned by its shareholders are now owned by the Company,
thereby making Creative Management Group a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company. The Company did not issue any new shares as part of the
Reorganization.
Upon
completion of the closing under the Reorganization Agreement, the Company has a
total of 42,400,000 shares issued and outstanding of which 20,264,852, or
approximately 47.79% are held by persons who were previously shareholders of the
Registrant, 22,135,148 shares, or approximately 52.21% are held by persons who
were previously shareholders of Creative Management Group.
Neither
the Company nor Creative Management Group had any options or warrants to
purchase shares of capital stock outstanding immediately prior to or following
the Reorganization. The Company intends to establish an option pool of up
to 5,000,000 common shares as soon as possible after the closing for
the purpose of having shares available for the granting of options to Company
officers, directors, employees and to independent contractors who provide
services to the Company.
All the
shares of the Company’s common stock issued in connection with the
Reorganization were registered under
Section 12(b) or (g) of The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 when the Registrant
filed Form 10-SB/A on June 28, 2006. All shares issued
in connection with the Reorganization were issued from a "Control Shareholder",
which is a shareholder that is now or
has been within the last 90 days a director or officer of the Company,
or now owns or controls or within the last 90 days has owned or controlled
10% or more of the Company's outstanding voting securities and is therefore
subject to the restriction in accordance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act of
1934.
Changes Resulting from the
Reorganization. Creative
Management Group is a business that delivers innovative, value-added
marketing communications and strategic consulting services to its clients.
Creative Management Group strives to be a premier marketing communications
and consulting company whose strategic, creative and innovative
solutions achieve superior results for clients and
shareholders. Following completion of the Reorganization, the Company
intends to carry on the business of Creative Management Group as its line
of business. The Company has located its executive offices at 5601 Biscayne
Boulevard, Miami, Florida 33137, USA and its telephone number is 1 (305)
751-0588 which is the executive office of Creative Management
Group.
Changes to the Board of
Directors. In conjunction with the anticipated closing under
the terms of the Reorganization Agreement and the February 20, 2008 acquisition
of shares in the Registrant by Creative Management Group, Alan Morell, James J.
Ennis and Michael Vandetty were appointed to the board of directors and Alan
Morell was appointed as Chairman of the board of directors.
All of
the Company’s directors will hold this office until the next annual meeting of
the stockholders or until the election and qualification of their successors.
The Company’s officers are elected by the board of directors and serve at the
discretion of the board of directors.
Description
of the Business
Background
The
Company was formed in July of 2004 as Pebble Beach Enterprises, Inc. in the
state of Nevada. From the date of incorporation until August of 2004, it was a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Fresh Veg Broker.com, Inc., a Nevada
corporation. In August of 2004, the company was spun off from Fresh
Veg. The Company until this Reorganization was a real estate
investment company with three areas of operation: a) real estate acquisition and
re-sale; b) real estate development and re-sale; and c) real estate consulting
and joint ventures.
Due to
our inability to execute our real estate business plan and expand our business
over the past three years, on February 20, 2008 in anticipation of this
Reorganization, a majority of the existing shares of the Company were sold by
the shareholders who were actively involved in the Company’s prior real estate
business, and as a result, we had a change of direction and a change of control
of our Company.
The
following table sets forth as of February 20, 2008, prior to the Reorganization,
information with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Company’s Common
Stock by each person who owned at that time beneficially 5% or more of such
stock. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a
security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of
the security or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security.
A person is deemed to own beneficially any security as to which such person has
the right to acquire sole or shared voting or investment power within 60 days
through the conversion or exercise of any convertible security, warrant, option
or other right. More than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of
the same securities. The percentage of beneficial ownership by any person as of
a particular date is calculated by dividing the number of shares beneficially
owned by such person, which includes the number of shares as to which such
person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days, by
the sum of the number of shares outstanding as of such date plus the number of
shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment
power within 60 days. Consequently, the denominator used for calculating such
percentage may be different for each beneficial owner. Except as otherwise
indicated below and under applicable community property laws, we believe that
the beneficial owners of our common stock listed below have sole voting and
investment power with respect to the shares shown.

On
February 20, 2008, in anticipation of this Reorganization, Alan Morell, Michael
Vandetty and James J. Ennis were elected to the Board of
Directors. Alan Morell was elected Chairman and appointed as its
President and CEO, Michael Vandetty was appointed as Secretary and James J.
Ennis was appointed as Treasurer.
On
February 20, 2008, in anticipation of this Reorganization, the shareholders
approved the Articles of Amendment to the Company to change our name from Pebble
Beach Enterprises, Inc. to our current name CMG Holdings, Inc., authorizing
issuing 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value and authorizing
issuing 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value.
On May
27, 2008, the Company entered into a “Reorganization Agreement” with its
controlling shareholder, Creative Management Group. Creative
Management Group is a business that delivers innovative, value-added marketing
communications and strategic consulting services to its clients.
Under the
terms of the Reorganization Agreement, we agreed to acquire all of the issued
and outstanding shares of Creative Management Group in exchange whereby Creative
Management Group would distribute to its approximate eighty shareholders all its
shares in our Company totaling 22,135,148 common stock. In
conjunction with closing under the Reorganization Agreement we also agreed to
convert all note holders of Creative Management Group. Closing under
the Reorganization Agreement was completed on May 27, 2008 and upon completion
of the Closing, Creative Management Group became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company.
The
Company now plans to carry on the business of Creative Management Group as its
line of business. All references to “CMG Holdings”, “CMG”, the
“Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” for periods prior to the closing of the
Reorganization refer to the Registrant, and for periods subsequent to the

FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This
Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements. The Company’s
representatives may also make forward-looking statements orally from time to
time. Statements in this document that are not historical facts, including
statements about the Company’s beliefs and expectations, recent business and
economic trends, potential acquisitions, estimates of amounts for deferred
acquisition consideration, constitute forward-looking statements. These
statements are based on current plans, estimates and projections, and are
subject to change based on a number of factors, including those outlined in this
section. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and
the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any of them in light of
new information or future events, if any.
Forward-looking
statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of important
factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in
any forward-looking statements. Such risk factors include, but are not limited
to, the following:
|
•
|
risks
associated with effects of national and regional economic
conditions;
|
|
•
|
the
Company’s ability to attract new clients and retain existing
clients;
|
|
•
|
the
financial success of the Company’s
clients;
|
|
•
|
the
Company’s ability to retain and attract key
employees;
|
|
•
|
the
successful completion and integration of acquisitions which complement and
expand the Company’s business
capabilities;
|
|
•
|
foreign
currency fluctuations; and
|
The
Company’s business strategy includes ongoing efforts to engage in material
acquisitions of ownership interests in entities in the marketing communications
services industry. The Company intends to finance these acquisitions by using
available cash from operations, and through incurrence of bridge or other debt
financing, either of which may increase the Company’s leverage ratios, or by
issuing equity, which may have a dilutive impact on existing shareholders
proportionate ownership. At any given time, the Company may be
engaged in a number of discussions that may result in one or more material
acquisitions. These opportunities require confidentiality and may involve
negotiations that require quick responses by the Company. Although
there is uncertainty that any of these discussions will result in definitive
agreements or the completion of any transactions, the announcement of any such
transaction may lead to increased volatility in the trading price of the
Company’s securities.
Investors
should carefully consider these risk factors and the additional risk factors
outlined in more detail in this Current Report on Form 8-K under the caption
“Risk Factors” and in the Company’s other SEC filings.
Our
Business
CMG
Holdings, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada in July 2004 under the name of Pebble
Beach Enterprises, Inc. The Company has operated under the CMG
Holdings, Inc. name since February 2008.
We are a
marketing, sports, entertainment and management services

Our
marketing and communications services for our clients is specific to their
unique needs and our solutions vary from project-based activities to long-term,
fully-integrated campaigns on behalf of our clients in a single region or
operating globally across all major world markets. It is our intention to create
a holding company to provide resources, support and ensure that our operating
divisions best meet our clients’ needs. The company sets company-wide financial
objectives and corporate strategy, directs collaborative inter-agency programs,
establishes financial management and operational controls, guides personnel
policy, conducts investor relations and initiates, manages and approves mergers
and acquisitions. In addition, we provide limited centralized
functional services that offer operational efficiencies, including
accounting and finance, market information retrieval and analysis, legal
services, real estate expertise, travel services, recruitment aid, employee
benefits and executive compensation management. To keep our Company
well-positioned, we support our initiatives to expand high-growth
capabilities and build its offerings in key developing markets. When
appropriate, we also develop relationships with companies that are building
leading-edge marketing tools that complement our operating subsidiary and the
programs they are developing for clients. In addition, we look for opportunities
within our Company to modernize operations through mergers, strategic alliances
and the development of internal programs that encourage intra-company
collaboration.
We have
taken several strategic steps to position us as a premier marketing and
communications company servicing clients in domestic and international markets.
We operate in a marketing landscape that has vastly changed over the last few
years and continues to fragment as clients are presented with complex strategies
to improve brand awareness and increase market share. To achieve our objectives
of providing strategic solutions for our clients, we have invested in talent and
have concentrated in high-growth areas to align our capabilities to meet the
market demands of our clients. In order to grow with our clients, we
have accelerated our investment in professional talent, training and technology
throughout our Company. Our market strategy and offerings can improve our
organic revenue growth and operating income margin, with our ultimate objective
to be fully competitive with our industry peer groups. To increase
our revenues and improve our operating margins, we will concentrate on
controlling our staff expenses in non-revenue producing capacities, controlling
real estate expenses such as office rent, reducing the complexity of our
organization and divesting of underperforming business
sectors.
Our
revenues are generated through the execution of marketing and communications
programs derived primarily across the sectors of event management, talent
management and commercial rights as well as various media, planning and
execution of other sports entertainment and management programs. Majority of our
contracts with our clients are negotiated individually. The terms of the
engagement with our clients and the basis in which we earn fees and commissions
will vary significantly. Contracts with our client are multifaceted arrangements
that may include incentive compensation provisions and may include vendor
credits. Our largest clients are multinational corporations where they may
arrange for our services to be provided via local, regional and global and we
provide services across various sectors and across multiple
divisions.
Revenues
are determined on a fee based compensation basis and a commission basis for
services for planning, creation, implementation and executions of marketing and
communications programs specific to the sectors of talent management, event
management, and commercial rights. Our fees are calculated to reflect our
expertise based on monthly rates as well as mark-up percentages and the relative
overhead expenses to execute services provided to our clients. Clients may seek
to include incentive compensation components for successful execution as part of
the total compensation. Commissions earned are based on services
provided and are usually calculated on a percentage over the total revenues
generated for our clients. Our revenues can also be generated when
clients pay gross rates before we pay reduced rates; the difference is
commissions earned which is either retained in total or shared with the client
depending on the nature of the services agreement. To reduce risks from
non-payments from our clients, we typically pay company generated expenses only
after we have received funds from our clients.
Our
generated revenues are dependent upon the marketing and communications
requirements of our corporate clients and depend on the terms of the client
contract. The revenues for services performed can be recognized as proportional
performance, monthly basis and execution of the completed contracts. Revenues
recognized on a completed contract basis and as customary in the industry, our
contracts generally provide for termination by either party on relatively short
notice, usually 90 days.
In the
competitive, highly fragmented marketing and communications industry, the
Company competes for business with large global holding companies such as
International Management Group, Interpublic Group of Companies, Inc., MDC
Parnters, Inc. WPP Group plc, and Havas Advertising. These global holding
companies generally have greater resources than those available us, and such
resources may enable them to aggressively compete with the Company’s marketing
communications businesses. We also face competition from numerous independent
agencies that operate in multiple markets. We must compete with these other
companies to maintain existing client relationships and to obtain new clients
and assignments. We compete at this level by providing clients with marketing
ideas and strategies that are focused on increasing clients’ revenues and
profits.
Industry
Trends
Historically,
event management, talent management, and commercial rights have been primary
service provided by global holding companies in the marketing
communications industry. However, as clients aim to establish one-to-one
relationships with customers and more accurately measure the effectiveness of
their marketing expenditures, specialized and digital communications services
are consuming a growing portion of marketing dollars. This is increasing the
demand for a broader range of marketing communications services.
The mass market audience is giving way to life-style segments, social
events/networks, and online/mobile communities, each segment requiring a
different message and/or different, often non-traditional, channels of
communication. Global marketers now seek innovative ideas wherever they can find
them, providing new opportunities for small to mid-sized communications
companies.
Clients
The
Company serves clients in virtually every industry and in many cases the same
clients in various locations. Representation of a client rarely means that the
company handles marketing communications for all brands or product lines of the
client in every geographical location. We have written contracts with
many of our clients. As is customary in the industry, these contracts provide
for termination by either party on relatively short notice. See “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis — Executive Overview” for a further discussion of our
arrangements with our clients.
Employees
As of May
27, 2008, the company and its subsidiaries have 5 employees.
See
Management’s Discussion and Analysis for a discussion of the effect of cost of
services sold on the company’s historical results of operations. Because of the
personal service character of the marketing communications businesses, the
quality of personnel is of crucial importance to the company’s continuing
success. MDA considers its relations with employees to be
satisfactory.
Effect
of Environmental Laws
The
company believes it is substantially in compliance with all regulations
concerning the discharge of materials into the environment, and such regulations
have not had a material effect on the capital expenditures or operations of the
company..

Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
For all
periods following closing under the Reorganization Agreement, the Company
intends to prepare consolidated financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiaries, which will be prepared in accordance with the generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States. During the preparation of the
financial statements the Company will be required to make estimates and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an
ongoing basis, the Company will evaluate its estimates and judgments, including
those related to sales, returns, pricing concessions, bad debts, inventories,
investments, fixed assets, intangible assets, income taxes and other
contingencies. The Company intends to base its estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable
under current conditions. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions
In
response to the SEC’s Release No. 33-8040, “Cautionary Advice Regarding
Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policy,” the Registrant identified the most
critical accounting principals upon which its financial status depends. The
Registrant determined that those critical accounting principles are related to
the use of estimates, inventory valuation, revenue recognition, income tax and
impairment of intangibles and other long-lived assets. The Company presents
these accounting policies in the relevant sections in this management’s
discussion and analysis, including the Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
discussed below.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
following summary of accounting policies has been prepared to assist in better
understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the related
management discussion and analysis. Readers are encouraged to consider this
information together with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and
the related notes to the consolidated financial statements as included in the
Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for a more complete understanding of
accounting policies discussed below.
Estimates
The
preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or “GAAP”,
requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and
assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities including
goodwill, intangible assets, valuation allowances for receivables and deferred
income tax assets, stock-based compensation, and the reporting of variable
interest entities at the date of the financial statements. The statements are
evaluated on an ongoing basis and estimates are based on historical experience,
current conditions and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under
the circumstances. Actual results can differ from those estimates, and it is
possible that the differences could be material.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with the SEC Staff
Accounting Bulletin 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB 104”), and accordingly,
revenue is generally recognized when services are earned or upon delivery of the
products when ownership and risk of loss has transferred to the customer, the
selling price is fixed or determinable and collection of the resulting
receivable is reasonably assured.
The
Company earns revenue from agency arrangements in the form of retainer fees or
commissions; from short-term project arrangements in the form of fixed
fees or fees for services; and from incentives or bonuses. Non-refundable
retainer fees are generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of
the specific customer contract. Commission revenue is earned and recognized upon
the placement of advertisements in various media when the Company has no further
performance obligations. Fixed fees for services are recognized upon completion
of the earnings process and acceptance by the client. Per diem fees are
recognized upon the performance of the Company’s services. In addition, for
certain service transactions, which require delivery of a number of service
acts, the Company uses the Proportional Performance model, which generally
results in revenue being recognized based on the straight-line method due to the
acts being non-similar and there being insufficient evidence of fair value for
each service provided. Fees billed to clients in excess of fees recognized as
revenue are classified as advance billings.
A small
portion of the Company’s contractual arrangements with clients includes
performance incentive provisions, which allow the Company to earn additional
revenues as a result of its performance relative to both quantitative and
qualitative goals. The Company recognizes the incentive portion of revenue under
these arrangements when specific quantitative goals are achieved, or when the
Company’s clients determine performance against qualitative goals has been
achieved. In all circumstances, revenue is only recognized when collection is
reasonably assured.
The
Company follows EITF No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus
Net as an Agent” (“EITF 99-19). This Issue summarized the EITF’s views on when
revenue should be recorded at the gross amount billed because revenue has been
earned from the sale of goods or services, or the net amount retained because a
fee or commission has been earned. The Company’s business at times acts as an
agent and records revenue equal to the net amount retained, when the fee or
commission is earned. The Company also follows EITF No. 01-14 for reimbursements
received for out-of-pocket expenses. This issue summarized the EITF’s views that
reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses incurred should be
characterized in the income statement as revenue. Accordingly, the Company has
included in revenue such reimbursed expenses.
Acquisitions,
Goodwill and Other Intangibles
A fair
value approach is used in testing goodwill for impairment under SFAS 142 to
determine if an other than temporary impairment has occurred. One approach
utilized to determine fair values is a discounted cash flow methodology. When
available and as appropriate, comparative market multiples are used. Numerous
estimates and assumptions necessarily have to be made when completing a
discounted cash flow valuation, including estimates and assumptions regarding
interest rates, appropriate discount rates and capital structure. Additionally,
estimates must be made regarding revenue growth, operating margins, tax rates,
working capital requirements and capital expenditures. Estimates and assumptions
also need to be made when determining the appropriate comparative market
multiples to be used. Actual results of operations, cash flows and other factors
used in a discounted cash flow valuation will likely differ from the estimates
used and it is possible that differences and changes could be
material.
The
Company expects to make selective acquisitions of marketing communications
businesses. In making acquisitions, the price paid is determined by various
factors, including service offerings, competitive position, reputation and
geographic coverage, as well as prior experience and judgment. Due to the nature
of advertising, marketing and corporate communications services companies; the
companies acquired frequently have significant identifiable intangible assets,
which primarily consist of customer relationships. The Company has determined
that certain intangibles (trademarks) have an indefinite life, as there are no
legal, regulatory, contractual, or economic factors that limit the useful
life.
A summary
of the Company’s deferred acquisition consideration obligations, sometimes
referred to as earnouts, and obligations under put rights of subsidiaries’
minority shareholders to purchase additional interests in certain subsidiary and
affiliate companies is set forth in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources”
section of this report. The deferred acquisition consideration obligations and
obligations to purchase additional interests in certain subsidiary and affiliate
companies are primarily based on future performance. Contingent purchase price
obligations are accrued, in accordance with GAAP, when the contingency is
resolved and payment is determinable.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
Trade
receivables are stated less allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance
represents estimated uncollectible receivables usually due to customers’
potential insolvency. The allowance includes amounts for certain customers where
risk of default has been specifically identified.
Income
Tax Valuation Allowance
The
Company records a valuation allowance against deferred income tax assets when
management believes it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the
deferred income tax assets will not be realized. Management considers factors
such as the reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future
taxable income, the character of the income tax asset, tax planning strategies,
changes in tax laws and other factors. A change to these factors could impact
the estimated valuation allowance and income tax expense.
Stock-based
Compensation
The fair
value method is applied to all awards granted, modified or settled on or after
January 1, 2008. Under the fair value method, compensation cost is measured at
fair value at the date of grant and is expensed over the service period that is
the award’s vesting period. When awards are exercised, share capital is credited
by the sum of the consideration paid together with the related portion
previously credited to additional paid-in capital when compensation costs were
charged against income or acquisition consideration. Stock-based awards that are
settled in cash or may be settled in cash at the option of employees are
recorded as liabilities. The measurement of the liability and compensation cost
for these awards is based on the fair value of the award, and is recorded into
operating income over the service period, that is the vesting period of the
award. Changes in the Company’s payment obligation are revalued each period and
recorded as compensation cost over the service period in operating
income.
Effective
February 20, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 123(R) and has opted to use the
modified prospective application transition method. Under this method the
Company will not restate its prior financial statements. Instead, the Company
will apply SFAS 123(R) for new awards granted or modified after the adoption of
SFAS 123(R), any portion of awards that were granted after December 15, 1994 and
have not vested as of February 20, 2008, and any outstanding liability
awards.
Variable
Interest Entities.
The
Company evaluates its various investments in entities to determine whether the
investee is a variable interest entity and if so whether the company is the
primary beneficiary. Such evaluation requires management to make estimates and
judgments regarding the sufficiency of the equity at risk in the investee and
the expected losses of the investee and may impact whether the investee is
accounted for on a consolidated basis.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The
following recent pronouncements were issued by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”): In June 2006, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements
in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. This
Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006,
with earlier application permitted. The adoption of this interpretation did not
have a material effect on its financial statements.
Effective
in Future Periods
In
September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. This
statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is
effective for all fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim
periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new statement on our
financial statements.
In
February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). This statement permits entities
to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value. This statement expands the use of fair value measurement and applies to
entities that elect the fair value option. The fair value option established by
this Statement permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair
value at specified election dates. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of
an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company
is currently evaluating the impact of this new statement on our financial
statements.
In
December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 141R “Business Combination” (“SFAS 141R”).
This revised statement retains some fundamental concepts of the current
standard, including the acquisition method of accounting (known as the “purchase
method” in Statement 141) for all business combinations but SFAS 141R broadens
the definitions of both businesses and business combinations, resulting in the
acquisition method applying to more events and transactions. This statement also
requires the acquirer to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as
well as the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of
their fair values. SFAS 141R will require both acquisition-related costs and
restructuring costs to be recognized separately from the acquisition and be
expensed as incurred. In addition, acquirers will record contingent
consideration at fair value on the acquisition date as either a liability or
equity. Subsequent changes in fair value will be recognized in the income
statement for any contingent consideration recorded as a liability. SFAS 141R is
to be applied prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early application is prohibited. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new statement on its
financial statements.
In
December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements” (SFAS 160”). This statement amends ARB No. 51
Consolidated Financial Statements, to now require the classification of
noncontrolling (minority) interests and dispositions of noncontrolling interests
as equity within the consolidated financial statements. The income statement
will now be required to show net income/loss with and without adjustments for
noncontrolling interests. SFAS 160 is to be applied prospectively for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and
interim periods within those years. However, this statement requires companies
to apply the presentation and disclosure requirements retrospectively to
comparative financial statements. Early application is prohibited. The Company
is currently evaluating the impact of this new statement on its financial
statements.
Risk
Factors
The
following factors could adversely affect the Company’s revenues, results of
operations or financial condition. See also “Statement Regarding Forward-Looking
Disclosure.”
Risks
Related To Our Company
Competition
for clients in highly competitive industries.
The
Company operates in a highly competitive environment in an industry
characterized by numerous firms of varying sizes, with no single firm or group
of firms having a dominant position in the marketplace. Competitive factors
include creative reputation, management, personal relationships, quality and
reliability of service and expertise in particular niche areas of the
marketplace. In addition, because a firm’s principal asset is its people,
barriers to entry are minimal, and relatively small firms are, on occasion, able
to take all or some portion of a client’s business from a larger
competitor.
While
many of the Company’s client relationships are long-standing, companies put
their marketing services businesses up for competitive review from time to
time, including at times when clients enter into strategic transactions. To the
extent that the Company fails to maintain existing clients or attract new
clients, the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results may
be affected in a materially adverse manner.
Revenues
are susceptible to declines as a result of general adverse economic
developments.
The
marketing communications services industry is cyclical and is subject to the
negative effects of economic downturns. The Company’s marketing services
operations are also exposed to the risk of clients changing their business plans
and/or reducing their marketing budgets. As a result, if the U.S., Canadian and
European economies continue to weaken, our businesses, financial condition and
operating results are likely to be negatively affected.
The
benefits it expects from this acquisition or acquisitions made in the future may
not be realized
The
Company’s business strategy includes ongoing efforts to engage in material
acquisitions of ownership interests in entities in the marketing communications
services industry. The Company intends to finance these acquisitions by using
available cash from operations and through incurrence of debt or bridge
financing, either of which may increase its leverage ratios, or by issuing
equity, which may have a dilutive impact on its existing shareholders. At any
given time the Company may be engaged in a number of discussions that may result
in one or more material acquisitions. These opportunities require
confidentiality and may involve negotiations that require quick responses by the
Company. Although there is uncertainty that any of these discussions will result
in definitive agreements or the completion of any transactions, the announcement
of any such transaction may lead to increased volatility in the trading price of
its securities.
The
success of acquisitions or strategic investments depends on the effective
integration of newly acquired businesses into the Company’s current operations.
Such integration is subject to risks and uncertainties, including realization of
anticipated synergies and cost savings, the ability to retain and attract
personnel and clients, the diversion of management’s attention from other
business concerns, and undisclosed or potential legal liabilities of the
acquired company. The Company may not realize the strategic and financial
benefits that it expects from any of its past acquisitions, or any future
acquisitions.
Business
could be adversely affected if it loses key clients.
The
Company’s loss of one or more clients could materially affect the results
of the Company as a whole. Management is very important to the
ongoing results of the Company because, as in any service business, the success
of the Company is dependent upon the leadership of key executives and management
personnel. If key executives were to leave our operating units, the
relationships that the Company has with its clients could be adversely
affected.
Ability
to generate new business from new and existing clients may be
limited.
To
increase revenues, the Company needs to obtain additional clients or
generate demand for additional services from existing clients.
The company’s ability to generate demand for its services from
new clients and additional demand from existing clients is subject
to clients’ requirements, pre-existing vendor relationships, financial
condition, strategic plans and internal resources, as well as the quality of the
Company’s employees, services and reputation and the breadth of its services. To
the extent the Company cannot generate new business from new and existing
clients due to these limitations, it will limit the Company’s ability to grow
its business and to increase its revenues.
Business
could be adversely affected if it loses or fails to attract key
employees.
Employees,
including creative, research, media, account and their skills and relationships
with clients, are among the Company’s most important assets. An important aspect
of the Company’s competitiveness is its ability to retain key employee and
management personnel. Compensation for these key employees is an essential
factor in attracting and retaining them, and the Company may not offer a level
of compensation sufficient to attract and retain these key employees. If the
Company fails to hire and retain a sufficient number of these key employees, it
may not be able to compete effectively.
Business
exposed to the risk of client media account defaults.
The
Company often incurs expenses on behalf of its clients in order to secure a
variety of opportunities in exchange for which it receives a
fee. While the Company takes precautions against default on payment for
these services (such as advance billing of clients) and have historically had a
very low incidence of default, the Company is still exposed to the risk of
significant uncollectible receivables from our clients.
The
results of operations are subject to currency fluctuation risks.
Although
the Company’s financial results are reported in U.S. dollars, a portion of its
revenues and operating costs may be denominated in currencies other
than the US dollar. As a result, fluctuations in the exchange rate between the
U.S. dollar and other currencies, may affect the Company’s financial results and
competitive position.
Subject
to regulations that could restrict its activities or negatively impact its
revenues.
Marketing
communications businesses are subject to government regulation, both domestic
and foreign. There has been an increasing tendency in the United States on the
part of advertisers to resort to litigation and self-regulatory bodies to
challenge comparative advertising on the grounds that the advertising is false
and deceptive. Moreover, there has recently been an expansion of specific rules,
prohibitions, media restrictions, labeling disclosures and warning requirements
with respect to advertising for certain products. Representatives within
government bodies, both domestic and foreign, continue to initiate proposals to
ban the advertising of specific products and to impose taxes on or deny
deductions for advertising which, if successful, may have an adverse effect on
advertising expenditures and consequently the Company’s revenues.
Risks
Relating to the Reorganization
The Company’s directors and executive
officers beneficially own a substantial percentage of the Company’s outstanding
common stock, which gives them control over certain major decisions on which the
Company’s stockholders may vote, which may discourage an acquisition of the
Company.
As a
result of the Reorganization, Alan Morell, the Company’s chairman-of-the-board
and chief executive officer owns, in the aggregate, approximately 23.84% of the
Company’s outstanding common stock and the Company’s directors and executive
officers as a group collectively own approximately 32.09% of the Company’s
outstanding shares. The interests of the Company’s management may differ from
the interests of other stockholders. As a result, the Company’s executive
management will have the right and ability to control virtually all corporate
actions requiring stockholder approval, irrespective of how the Company’s other
stockholders may vote, including the following actions:
●
electing or defeating the election of directors;
●
amending or preventing amendment of the Company’s certificate of incorporation
or bylaws;
●
effecting or preventing a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction;
and
●
controlling the outcome of any other matter submitted to the stockholders for
vote.
The
Company’s management’s stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from
seeking to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock or otherwise attempting
to obtain control of the Company, which in turn could reduce the Company’s stock
price or prevent the Company’s stockholders from realizing a premium over the
Company’s stock price.
Public company compliance may make it
more difficult to attract and retain officers and directors.
The
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC
have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. As
a public entity, the Company expects these new rules and regulations to increase
compliance costs in 2008 and beyond and to make certain activities more time
consuming and costly. As a public entity, the Company also expects that these
new rules and regulations may make it more difficult and expensive for the
Company to obtain director and officer liability insurance in the future and it
may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur
substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result,
it may be more difficult for the Company to attract and retain qualified persons
to serve as directors or as executive officers.
Risks
Relating to the Common Stock
The Company’s stock price may be
volatile.
The
market price of the Company’s common stock is likely to be highly volatile and
could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which
are beyond the Company’s control, including the following:
● technological
innovations or new products and services by the Company or its
competitors;
● additions
or departures of key personnel;
● limited
“public float” following the Reorganization , in the hands of a small number of
persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative
pricing pressure on the market price for the common stock;
● the
Company’s ability to execute its business plan;
● operating
results that fall below expectations;
● loss
of any strategic relationship;
● industry
developments;
● economic
and other external factors; and
● period-to-period
fluctuations in the Company’s financial results.
In
addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant
price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of
particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and
adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock.
There
is currently no liquid trading market for the Company’s common stock and the
Company cannot ensure that one will ever develop or be sustained.
The
Company’s common stock is currently approved for quotation on the OTC Bulletin
Board trading under the symbol CMGO.OB. However, there is limited
trading activity and not currently a liquid trading market. There is no
assurance as to when or whether a liquid trading market will develop, and if
such a market does develop, there is no assurance that it will be maintained.
Furthermore, for companies whose securities are quoted on the
Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board maintained by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “OTCBB”), it is more difficult (1) to obtain
accurate quotations, (2) to obtain coverage for significant news events because
major wire services generally do not publish press releases about such
companies, and (3) to obtain needed capital. As a result, purchasers of
the Company’s common stock may have difficulty selling their shares in the
public market, and the market price may be subject to significant
volatility.
Offers or
availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of the Company’s common
stock may cause the price of the Company’s common stock to decline or could
affect the Company’s ability to raise additional working
capital.
If the
Company’s current stockholders seek to sell substantial amounts of common stock
in the public market either upon expiration of any required holding period under
Rule 144 or pursuant to an effective registration statement, it could create a
circumstance commonly referred to as “overhang,” in anticipation of which the
market price of the Company’s common stock could fall
substantially. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales
have occurred or are occurring, also could make it more difficult for the
Company to raise additional financing in the future through sale of securities
at a time and price that the Company deems acceptable.
The Company’s common stock is
currently deemed to be “penny stock”, which makes it more difficult for
investors to sell their shares.
The
Company’s common stock is currently subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted
under section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules apply to
companies whose common stock is not listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market or other
national securities exchange and trades at less than $5.00 per share or that
have tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has
been operating for three or more years). These rules require, among other
things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than “established
customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of
investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in
the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under
certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks
because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the
number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is
limited. If the Company remains subject to the penny stock rules for any
significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for
the Company’s securities. If the Company’s securities are subject to the penny
stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of the Company’s
securities.
The elimination of monetary liability
against the Company’s directors, officers and employees under Nevada law and the existence of
indemnification rights to the Company’s directors, officers and employees may
result in substantial expenditures by the Company and may discourage lawsuits
against the Company’s directors, officers and employees.
The
Company’s certificate of incorporation does not contain any specific provisions
that eliminate the liability of directors for monetary damages to the Company
and the Company’s stockholders; however, the Company is prepared to give such
indemnification to its directors and officers to the extent provided by
Nevada law. The Company may also have contractual indemnification obligations
under its employment agreements with its executive officers. The foregoing
indemnification obligations could result in the Company incurring substantial
expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors
and officers, which the Company may be unable to recoup. These provisions and
resultant costs may also discourage the Company from bringing a lawsuit against
directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties and may similarly
discourage the filing of derivative litigation by the Company’s stockholders
against the Company’s directors and officers even though such actions, if
successful, might otherwise benefit the Company and its
stockholders

Indemnification
of Directors and Officers
Section
145 of the Nevada General Corporation Law provides, in general, that a
corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, such as the
Company, may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding
(other than a derivative action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason
of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise, against expenses
(including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action,
suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such
person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. In the case of a
derivative action, a Nevada corporation may indemnify any such person against
expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such
person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if
such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no
indemnification will be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person will have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless
and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Nevada or any
other court in which such action was brought determines such person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses.

SECTION 5 -
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Item
5.06 Change in Shell Company Status.
The
Company through its legal counsel believes that it is not and has never been a
“shell corporation,” as that term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act
and Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. A shell company is a company with
nominal or no operations and nominal or no asserts (or assets consisting solely
of cash and cash equivalents). As the Company had operations from
inception to the date of its registration to the date of the Reorganization, and
in accordance with the SEC issued final ruling on December 6, 2007, in footnote
172, which states that a start-up company does not necessarily fit the
definition of a “shell company”. The Company takes the position that
it has been a start-up company since its registration statement became effective
to the date of the Reorganization.
