1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Organizational
History
We
were
incorporated on April 14, 1975 in Oklahoma under the name U.S. Mineral &
Royalty Corp. as an oil and gas exploration, development and operating company.
In 1989, we changed our name to Habersham Energy Company. Historically, the
company was engaged in the business of acquiring and producing oil and gas
properties, but did not have any business activity from 1995 to 2002. Subsequent
to our reorganization in 2002, we changed our corporate domicile to Utah,
amended our capital structure and changed our name to Trinity Companies Inc.
In
March 2003, our name was changed to Trinity Learning Corporation. On September
29, 2006, we changed our name to TWL Corporation.
On
June
16, 2003, we completed a recapitalization of our common stock by (i) effecting
a
reverse split of our outstanding common stock on the basis of one share for
each
250 shares owned, with each resulting fractional share being rounded up to
the
nearest whole share, and (ii) subsequently effecting a forward split by dividend
to all stockholders of record, pro rata, on the basis of 250 shares for each
one
share owned. The record date for the reverse and forward splits was June 4,
2003. As a result of the recapitalization, the number of shares outstanding
13,419,774 remained unchanged. Between July and October 2003, an additional
19,090 shares of common stock were issued to shareholders, and shares owned
by
members of management were cancelled pursuant to this
recapitalization.
On
August
6, 2003, our board of directors approved a change in our fiscal year-end from
September 30 to June 30 to align it with those of the companies we had already
acquired or were at that time in the process of acquiring.
Throughout
this report, we refer to TWL Corporation, together with its subsidiaries, as
"we," "us," "our company," "Trinity Learning," or the “Company."
Recent
Developments
Private
Financing Transaction in March of 2006
On
March
31, 2006, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase
Agreement”) with certain accredited investor (the “Investor”) for the issuance
of an aggregate of $4,500,000 in face amount of 15% Senior Secured Convertible
Debentures (the “Debentures") maturing March 31, 2010, and four year warrants
(the "Warrants") to purchase an aggregate of 7,200,000 shares of common stock
of
the Company, exercisable into shares of the Company's common stock at $0.21
per
share. The Debentures accrue interest at a rate of 15% per annum.
The
Debentures are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a price
equal to $0.25 per share. The Company is obligated to pay $187,500 as the
monthly redemption amount of the Debentures on the first of every month,
beginning on March 31, 2008, which payment can be made in cash or in common
stock of the Company. The Company's obligation to repay Debentures is secured
by
all of its assets and the assets of its wholly owned subsidiary, TWL Knowledge
Group (the "Subsidiary"). In addition, the Company's Subsidiary entered into
a
Subsidiary Guarantee with the investors on March 31, 2006 pursuant to which
the
Subsidiary agreed to guarantee the Company's repayment of the Debentures to
the
investors.
The
conversion price of the debentures and the exercise price of the warrants may
be
adjusted in certain circumstances such as if we pay a stock dividend, subdivide
or combine outstanding shares of common stock into a greater or lesser number
of
shares, or take such other actions as would otherwise result in dilution of
the
investors' position.
The
investors have agreed to restrict their ability to convert their debentures
or
exercise their warrants and receive shares of our common stock such that the
number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their
affiliates after such conversion of the Debentures does not exceed 4.99% or
exercise of the Warrants does not exceed 9.99% of the then issued and
outstanding shares of common stock.
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Registration Rights Agreement, dated March 31, 2006,
we are required to register, are registering and are offering the shares of
common stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures and the Warrants in
this
Registration Statement.
As
of the
date of this Annual Report, we do not know when we will receive, if at all,
the
additional $4.0 million in financing from the Investor under the
Agreement.
Private
Financing Transaction in August of 2006
On
August
31, 2006 (the "Closing Date"), we entered into agreements with Laurus Master
Fund, Ltd., a Cayman Islands corporation ("Laurus"), pursuant to which sold
and
issued to Laurus the Following securities:
-
A
secured three-year term note (the "Secured Note") with a principal amount of
$2,500,000 (the "Secured Note Amount"), which matures on August 31, 2009 (the
“Maturity Date");
-
A
secured three-year revolving note with a principal amount of $5,000,000 (the
“Revolving Note"; the Revolving Note and the Secured Note shall be collectively
referred to as the “Notes"); and
-
1,500,000 shares (the "Shares") of preferred stock (the "Preferred Stock"),
of
the Company, which is redeemable by the Company at a price of $0.10 per share
(the “Set Price") at any time until August 31, 2011, and may be converted by
Laurus at any time into common stock, no par value per share (the “Common
Stock"), of the Company at the Set Price.
Of
the
Secured Note, net proceeds of $2,173,000 were received by us on the Closing
Date, and were deposited in a restricted account with Col Taylor Bank as
security for the total loan amount and for use by us to make acquisitions as
approved by Laurus.
The
Notes
are secured by a blanket lien on all of the Company's assets, the assets of
the
Company's subsidiaries and the cash held in the restricted account at Cole
Taylor Bank.
The
principal amount of the Secured Note carries an interest rate of prime plus
three percent (the "Secured Note Rate"), subject to adjustment, and we must
make
monthly amortizing payments of $42,500, commencing January 1, 2007, and with
said monthly amortizing payments increasing to $62,500, commencing on January
1,
2008, toward the outstanding non-restricted principal amount. Furthermore,
the
Secured Note Rate shall not at any time be less than nine percent (9.0%). The
Company may prepay the Secured Note at any time as set forth in the Secured
Note.
The
principal amount of the Revolving Note carries an interest rate of prime plus
two percent (the "Revolving Note Rate"), subject to adjustment, and we must
make
said monthly interest payments, payable in arrears, commencing September 1,
2006. Furthermore, the Revolving Note Rate shall not at any time be less than
nine percent (9.0%). The Company may prepay the May 2006 Revolving Note at
any
time without penalty.
In
consideration of the foregoing, Laurus has agreed to a “lock-up provision”
period of no less than twelve (12) months from the Closing Date.
The
Shares of Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of our common stock at
a
price of $0.10 per share, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. Laurus has
contractually agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Shares of Preferred
Stock and receive shares of the Company's Common Stock such that the number
of
shares of the Company common stock held by it after such exercise does not
exceed 4.99% of the Company's then issued and outstanding shares of common
stock.
We
also
have granted Laurus a right of first refusal with respect to any debt or equity
financings, with such restriction being in effect for no longer then 2 years
after the Closing Date.
We
are
also obligated to file a registration statement registering the resale of shares
of the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Shares. We are not
registering for resale in this Registration Statement any Common Stock issuable
upon the conversion of the Shares. If the registration statement is not filed
within 60 days of Closing Date, or declared effective within 180 day of Closing
Date, or if the registration is suspended other than as permitted, in the
registration rights agreement between the Company and Laurus, the Company is
obligated to pay Laurus certain fees and the obligations may be deemed to be
in
default.
Amendment
to March 2006 Financing
On
July
27, 2006, we entered into a Letter Agreement (the "Letter Agreement #1") with
Palisades Master Fund LP ("Palisades") pursuant to which Palisades agreed to
waive an Event of Default for the Company's failure to timely file a
registration statement with the SEC in connection with the March 2006 financing
with Palisades (the "March 2006 Financing"), and further agreed to subordinate
its security interest to the Company’s loan in the amount of $7,000,000 to
Laurus (the “Subordination”). Furthermore, Palisades agreed to modify certain
provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement and Securities Purchase
Agreement, dated March 31, 2006. As consideration for the waiver, the Company
agreed to issue Palisades 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock having a 7% coupon
which is convertible into Common Stock at $0.10 per share (the "Palisades
Preferred Stock") and lower the conversion price for the debentures dated March
31, 2006 issued to Palisades to $0.10. The Palisades Preferred Stock shall
pay
the 7% coupon semi-annually. Furthermore, at our sole option, we have the right
to redeem the Palisades Preferred Stock at $0.10 per share at any time on or
before the 5th anniversary of the Palisades Closing Date (as defined
below).
We
also
agreed to file a registration statement registering the resale of the shares
issuable upon the conversion of the Palisades Preferred Stock no later than
210
days after the Palisades Closing Date (as defined below). We further agreed
to
issue an additional 82,800,000 warrants to Palisades (the "Additional Warrants")
as consideration for the waiver, such that Palisades would have the right to
substitute the Additional Warrants for Preferred Stock of the Company under
similar terms and conditions as any Preferred Stock that would be issued to
Laurus, predicated upon the Company agreeing to a financing agreement with
Laurus on or before August 31, 2006.
On
July
31, 2006 (the "Palisades Closing Date"), the Company entered into a subsequent
Letter Agreement with Palisades (the "Letter Agreement #2") whereby Palisades
and the Company agreed to modify the Letter Agreement #1, such that Palisades
would subordinate its security interest in all of the assets of the Company
and
its subsidiaries to Laurus. As consideration for the Waiver, the Subordination
and Palisades’ agreement to surrender the 7,200,000 warrants issued in
connection with the March 2006 Financing and in lieu of the Company issuing
the
additional 82,800,000 warrants as agreed to pursuant Letter Agreement #1, the
Company agreed to issue to Palisades an additional 1,800,000 shares of Preferred
Stock with the terms as set forth above.
Appointment
of Dennis J. Cagan and Patrick R. Quinn
On
July
24, 2006 the Company’s Board of Directors approved the appointment of Dennis
Cagan to serve as the permanent President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company, and for such appointment to be effective upon the closing of the Laurus
Master Fund, Ltd. financing transaction (the "Financing Transaction") which
closed on August 31, 2006. Mr. Cagan was previously serving as interim President
and CEO of the Company. In addition, the Company entered into a fulltime
employment agreement (the "Agreement") with Mr. Cagan, dated as September 1,
2006. For more information on the terms of the Agreement, see section “Executive
Compensation.”
On
September 1, 2006 the Board of Directors appointed Patrick Quinn, the Company's
Chief Financial Officer, to also serve as the Chief Operating Officer of the
Company, and for such appointment to be effective upon the closing of the
Financing Transaction.
Appointment
of David B. Batstone
On
September 13, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the appointment of
David B. Batstone as a director of the Company. For more information on David
B.
Batstone, see section “Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters and Control
Persons; Compliance With Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.”
Special
Shareholder Meeting held on September 26, 2006
On
September 26, 2006, the Company held a Special Shareholders meeting, for the
Company’s shareholders of record as of August 11, 2006 (the “Record Date”), as
was previously disclosed by the Company in its Proxy Statement filed on Schedule
14(a) with the SEC on August 18, 2006. During the meeting, the affirmative
vote
of the Company’s shareholders holding the majority of the Company’s outstanding
shares as of the Record Date approved the following proposals:
1.
Amending the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the
Company from Trinity Learning Corporation to TWL Corporation; and
2.
Amending the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized
number of common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 750,000,000
shares.
Changes
to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company
On
September 29, 2006, the Company filed Articles of Amendment ("Articles") with
the Secretary of State of the State of Utah, effective as of equal date, to
effect a name change of the Company from Trinity Learning Corporation to TWL
Corporation and to increase the authorized common stock of the Company from
100,000,000 shares to 750,000,000 shares.
In
addition the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware, effective as of September 12, 2006, to effect
a
name change of its subsidiary Trinity Workplace Learning Corporation to TWL
Knowledge Group.
General
We
are a
publicly held global learning company, with geographic locations in the United
States, Australia and Europe, that specializes in providing technology-enabled
learning and certification solutions for corporations, organizations and
individuals in multiple global industries. Historically, we have focused our
marketing on medium to large businesses and organizations that wish to provide
workplace training and certification to their employees in a cost effective
and
efficient manner.
In
addition to internal growth through business development and expansion of sales
and marketing in existing operations, we have pursued a strategy of acquiring
and integrating other operating companies with established customer bases in
strategic markets and industry segments. Today, target acquisition candidates
typically are expected to meet one or more of these criteria:
|
·
|
core
operations in the United States
|
|
·
|
prime
customer relationships in North
America
|
|
·
|
international
sales channels through agents, partners, or sales
offices
|
|
·
|
content
that can be leveraged by the Company’s state-of-the-art production and
communication facility in Carrollton,
Texas
|
TWL
Knowledge Group, Inc.
In
April,
2005, we completed the acquisition of the key operating assets of the Primedia
Workplace Learning division (“PWPL”) of PRIMEDIA, Inc., including PWPL’ s
content libraries, trademarks, brands, intellectual property, databases and
physical assets. Also included was a 200,000 square foot state-of-the-art
workplace learning content production and delivery facility in Carrollton,
Texas, which we lease and is used to deliver integrated learning solutions
to
professionals in the homeland security, healthcare, industrial, fire and
emergency, government, law enforcement and private security markets. We operate
the acquired assets as a wholly-owned subsidiary under the name TWL Knowledge
Group, Inc. (“TWLK”).
The
content library is used by over 7,000 clients to train, educate and certify
employees in the areas of state and federal regulatory compliance, ongoing
job
certification, continuing education, risk mitigation and in-service education.
In addition to its traditional delivery capabilities such as VHS, DVD, CD-ROM,
Internet and print, the PWPL acquisition makes the Company a provider of
satellite-delivered learning content. The satellite network consists of seven
channels that are spread over three key areas: healthcare, government and
industrial. These satellite channels have long-established and well-respected
brand names in their respective industries.
The
division, subsequently renamed the TWL Knowledge Group, Inc., serves as our
primary content creation, marketing and delivery platform. With a comprehensive
video production and distribution platform, including satellite uplinks and
downlinks, plus live and archived Internet broadcasting capabilities, we have
the ability to reach customers and learners around the world from one central
facility. Currently not one customer comprises more than 4% of our total
revenues, and we have more than 2,000 active customers.
TWLK
has
three key areas of focus:
|
·
|
Healthcare
Group. The Healthcare Group (“HCG”) focuses primarily on serving
hospitals and long-term care facilities within the healthcare sector.
HCG
currently services more than 1,800 hospitals and long-term care
institutions and reaches more than 1,800,000 healthcare professionals.
HCG
provides its training primarily through our proprietary satellite
delivered networks, with more than 83% of its revenues subscription
based
with contracts ranging from one to three years. HCG offers accreditation
for 17 categories of licensed healthcare professionals, and has issued
over 2,600,000 continuing education certificates. HCG has partnership
alliances with the Joint Commission Resources and the
VHA.
|
|
·
|
Government
Services Group. The Government Services Group (“GSG”) focuses
primarily on serving the emergency responder markets. GSG currently
services more than 2,700 agencies and trains more than 300,000 emergency
responders in the fields of law enforcement, fire, emergency medical
services, and professional homeland security. Approximately 90% of
its
revenue is subscription based with contract lengths of generally
one year
in duration. GSG currently offers more than 2,000 courses through
a
variety of delivery channels to its thousands of federal, state and
local
customers.
|
|
·
|
Industrial
Services Group. The Industrial Services Group (“ISG”) offers
comprehensive training to the industrial sector and services some
of the
largest companies in the United States, including Global 1000 and
Fortune
500 clients. Training in the industrial segment is increasingly driven
by
customer mandates for improved skills as well as for regulatory
compliance. Approximately 10-15% of its revenue is subscription based
with
contracts ranging from one to three years. The remaining sales are
single-event transactions. ISG provides its library of more than
2,000
training courses to its target market primarily through VHS tapes
and CD
formats. ISG’s commitment to online offerings has positioned the group to
transition from product sales to a subscription model. ISG supplements
all
these channels with associated print
material.
|
Key
Benefits of the Combined Operations
As
a
result of the PWPL acquisition, the combination of the Company and TWLK provides
a number of key benefits:
|
·
|
Approximately
210 full-time workplace learning professionals, including content
development, instructional design, training services, marketing,
video
production, satellite communications, Internet and IT and administration.
We have an expanded accounting and finance group that should enhance
our
financial controls, cash management, SEC reporting, and Sarbanes-Oxley
compliance.
|
|
·
|
A
content library of more than 21,000 training courses for the healthcare,
industrial and security government
markets.
|
|
·
|
Delivery
capabilities through a variety of channels, including satellite,
broadband, DVDs, CD-ROM, VHS, print and instructor-led courses. We
currently broadcast content via encrypted satellite to more than
4,000
installed satellite dishes at customer sites. This diverse and powerful
delivery system should permit us to cost effectively reach virtually
any
customer in the world in a variety of secure
channels.
|
|
·
|
A
state-of-the-art 200,000 square foot office and production leased
facility
(approximately 20 minutes from Dallas-Fort Worth), built and equipped
at a
cost estimated at over $30 million in 1996, including production
studios,
satellite uplinks and downlinks. We now have an extensive information
technology infrastructure, including The Academy, which is a proprietary
database for tracking learners, courses and certifications. We believe
that because an individual’s training and certification information
resides within The Academy and is not owned by the employer, additional
revenue could be generated as employees change jobs and require
re-certification. The building also houses a replication and fulfillment
center for in-house, on-demand creation of VHS tapes, CDs and DVDs,
which
enables us to leverage content development across all customer-driven
delivery media.
|
|
·
|
A
full-time customer service center that monitors and services the
TWLK
client base, including providing professional services and customized
solutions. The support group also makes outbound customer calls to
generate sales leads as well as take incoming customer
calls.
|
The
Global Learning Market
According
to EduVentures, Inc., the global education and training market is estimated
at
approximately $2 trillion annually, with the United States currently accounting
for over 35% of the global market for education and training services. Within
the corporate training market, e-learning, fueled by increased penetration
of
computers and workplace access to the Internet, is playing an increased role
in
providing employees with training and workplace learning. DC estimates that
the
worldwide e-learning services market will exceed $23 billion by 2006 and Cortona
Consulting estimates that the global e-learning services market will reach
$50
billion by 2010.
According
to the Population Resource Center, world population exceeded 6 billion
individuals in 2001 with a growth rate of 1.3% annually. Based upon this growth
rate, there will be approximately 1 billion new entrants to the global workforce
each decade until at least the middle of this century. Furthermore, significant
changes in the make-up of the world’s population are anticipated in the near
future. It is estimated that in Europe, North America and certain other
industrialized nations, anticipated future labor shortages are expected to
be
caused by an aging workforce and will need to be met through immigration, which
would drive demand for language and other job training. Other labor shortages
are expected to be met by full-time and part-time re-entry by “retirees” into
the workforce, a trend that is already gaining momentum in the United States.
These re-entry workers often must be trained or retrained for new job skills,
particularly in computer-related skills. In addition to workplace learning,
an
aging population points toward an expanded market for lifelong learning as
longevity increases and people are healthy and active longer into their 70s
and
80s.
Other
demographic factors in the make-up of the world’s work force are expected to
have a significant impact on the world learning market. In the United States,
according to Ameristat, between 1998 and 2008, over 40 million people are
estimated to enter the US labor force, joining over 110 million workers already
in the workforce. Furthermore, over 25% of new workers are expected to be either
Hispanic or Asian, thus increasing diversity in the workplace. A more diverse
workforce presents challenges to employers with regard to language and
communication skills, compliance with laws and regulations regarding employment
practices and training in basic workplace skills.
As
the
global workplace continues to change rapidly, the economic value of a college
degree or professional certification continues to increase. In the United
States, the wage premium for a college degree holder as compared to a high
school diploma has nearly doubled since the late 1970s — a statistic that is
even more pronounced for women workers. Around the world, the value of a college
degree, particularly from an accredited U.S. higher education institution,
remains one of the most valuable workplace assets. Through distance and online
education, there is a world market for college degree programs and professional
certifications. Wage differentials based upon education can also be found in
the
workplace below the degree level. For example, in Latin America, a worker with
six years of education typically earns 50% more than a worker with no formal
education, and the wage premium increases to 120% based upon 12 years of
education.
Increased
globalization is also expected to have a significant impact on the world
learning market. As technology continues to facilitate global communication
and
business, corporations will continue to seek out new foreign markets for highly
educated, lower cost workers. For developed nations to compete with the
outsourcing of labor to developing nations, they must invest in educating and
training their workforces. Many companies already know the benefits of ongoing
education and training for their employees. The American Society for Training
and Development (“ASTD”) performed a three-year study of employee education with
575 US-based publicly-traded firms from various industries. ASTD found that
companies who invested $680 per employee more than the average company increased
their total stockholder return by six percent for the following year. A survey
performed by Chief Learning Officer Magazine and Fairfield Research Inc., a
market research company, looked into the size of the enterprise-learning market
in the US. Companies with over $500 million in annual sales spent an average
of
$3.7 million on learning and training and are estimated to have collectively
spent $11.9 billion on education in 2003.
Globalization
also presents challenges to large-scale, multinational employers in global
industries that must address their human capital requirements in a
cost-effective manner due to dispersed workforces, continual introduction of
new
technologies (including the introduction of technology to job classifications
staffed by entry-level or lower-skilled workers), global competition, language
and cultural barriers and other demographic factors. Large employers also employ
a wide range of personnel with various educational attainment levels and
differing needs for ongoing training, workplace learning and professional
development. In addition, compliance with local, national and international
regulations and standards is increasingly critical for employers of all
sizes.
Just
as
globalization is expanding the world’s workforce to new labor markets and
employers increasingly recognize the return on investment from a better educated
workforce, technology is revolutionizing access to learning, education and
training around the world through computer-based learning, high-speed network
access, distance learning, e-learning and online accredited education. Access
to
computers and the Internet continues to increase dramatically, with the highest
rates of growth over the coming decade expected to be in less developed nations.
Worldwide, the Internet population is estimated at nearly 1 billion by The
Computer Industry Almanac and is expected to grow at a rate of approximately
200
million new users per year.
The
advent of computer and Internet technology has also presented new approaches
for
teaching and training employees. Over the past two decades, educational research
has shown that individuals learn in different ways and that no one method of
teaching or training is optimal across all types of content or desired
educational outcomes. Educational research has shown that a blended learning
approach is generally more successful for the retention of new learning. Within
the overall global learning market, there are a variety of instructional methods
that can be utilized to train workers. These methods include:
|
·
|
Classroom
instruction at a school, the employer’s facility or at an off-site
facility
|
|
·
|
Computer-based
training and simulation
|
|
·
|
Distance
education, utilizing printed materials or digital
materials
|
|
·
|
Online
or e-learning, either instructor-mediated or
self-paced
|
|
·
|
Hands-on
training with machines or devices, either in the workplace or at
a remote
facility
|
Strategy
Our
goal
is to become a leader in the global learning industry and to create one of
the
first global brands that integrate products and services for workplace learning,
education and personal growth markets. Key aspects of our strategy
are:
|
·
|
Cross
Selling of Existing Content. We believe that there is significant
customer overlap among its HCG, GSC and ISG industry verticals, with
over
21,000 titles, we believe that there are significant cross- and up-selling
opportunities in the combined Company and are refocusing our sales
force
to realize these synergies.
|
|
·
|
Increase
Penetration in Key Markets. We intend to market aggressively to
expand our presence in key markets where significant opportunities
lie.
For example, HCG currently serves only 30% of the acute care market
and
less than 2% of the long-term care market. GSG currently provides
training
to less than 6% of the law enforcement market and only about 7% of
the
fire and emergency markets. In addition, the homeland security market
is
relatively new and provides substantial opportunity for
growth.
|
|
·
|
Expand
Into Key Industry Segments. We are evaluating other industry segments
where we believe that our technology and infrastructure will allow
us to
expand. Key among these is language
learning.
|
|
·
|
Continue
Focus on Cost Savings. We have implemented an extensive cost savings
initiative, which we expect to realize upon in the next several quarters.
This cost-savings initiative
includes:
|
|
-
|
Headcount
reduction in non-core areas;
|
|
-
|
Re-allocation
of internal production staff to eliminate or reduce freelancers;
and
|
|
-
|
Elimination
of duplicate overhead, such as office space and back office
employees
|
|
·
|
Increased
Capacity Utilization. TWLK's production facility has additional
unutilized capacity. We are in the process of increasing capacity
utilization by one or more of the following: subleasing unused office
space, finding additional third-party clients for video production
facilities and identifying clients to share our satellite service
capacity.
|
|
·
|
Integration.
TWLK now represents substantially all of our assets and operations.
We continue to operate our other subsidiaries in the United States
and in
international markets, with the intent of integrating operations,
sales
and marketing into TWLK. In cases where integration is not feasible
or
cost effective, we anticipate that we will either (a) continue to
operate
certain subsidiaries as we have done in the past, (b) seek partnerships
and alliances and other strategic relationships, or (c) divest or
reduce
our ownership in selective non-core assets and
operations.
|
|
·
|
Increase
Investor Awareness. We intend to apply for a NASDAQ Small-Cap or AMEX
listing as soon as it meets the listing
requirements.
|
Subsidiaries
We
currently have three wholly owned operating subsidiaries: TWL Knowledge Group,
Inc., River Murray Training, and VILPAS. Subsequent to the end of our fiscal
year ended June 30, 2006, we divested our ownership in IRCA (Proprietary)
Limited, previously a 51% subsidiary, and 51% interest in the operations of
Riverbend.
TWL
Knowledge Group
As
of
April 1, 2005, we entered into and closed an asset purchase agreement (the
"Asset Purchase Agreement") with PRIMEDIA Inc. and two PRIMEDIA affiliates
(collectively, "PRIMEDIA"), whereby PRIMEDIA sold to the Company certain assets
related to its PWPL division. The assets comprised those relating to PWPL's
HCG,
GSC, ISG, Shared Services Group, and all other assets of PWPL, including all
of
the assets of PRIMEDIA Digital Video Holdings LLC, excluding only those assets
primarily related to the operations of PWPL's Financial Services Group and/or
PWPL's Interactive Medical Network business (such acquired assets referred
to
collectively hereinafter as the "Business"). These assets are comprised of
content libraries, trademarks, brands, intellectual property, databases, and
physical assets. Included in the sale are certain video production and
distribution capabilities used to deliver integrated learning solutions to
professionals in the homeland security, healthcare, industrial, fire &
emergency, government, law enforcement and private security markets currently
served by PWPL.
In
consideration for the Business, we assumed certain liabilities of PRIMEDIA
relating to the Business, in part consisting of (i) a lease for the building
in
Carrollton, Texas where our current headquarters are located, through February
2014 for total scheduled lease payments of $20,051,302, and (ii) deferred
revenue in the amount of $4,700,000 that we assumed at purchase (the "Assumed
Liabilities"), in an aggregate amount estimated at the time of closing to be
between $26 and $28 million.
The
purchase price for the Business was subject to a working capital adjustment
whereby the purchase price for the assets would have either been reduced or
increased on a dollar-for-dollar basis to the extent that certain elements
of
the working capital deficit of the Business as of April 1, 2005 were determined
within 90 days of such date to be either, respectively, less than or greater
than $4,000,000. As of June 30, 2006, no such working capital adjustments have
been made.
In
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, SBI
USA
LCC, a California limited liability company ("SBI"), agreed to guarantee the
performance by the Company of certain leases comprising part of the Assumed
Liabilities. In consideration for such guarantee (the "Guarantee"), we entered
into an agreement with SBI dated April 1, 2005 (the "SBI Agreement") pursuant
to
which we agreed, among other things, to issue to SBI an aggregate of 4,000,000
shares of the Company's common stock (which stock will carry piggyback
registration rights) (the "SBI Shares"), to reimburse SBI for any expenses
incurred by it in connection with the granting of the Guarantee, to grant SBI
the right to appoint an observer to the Company's Board of Directors, plus
expenses, and to indemnify SBI for any liabilities that might accrue to it
pursuant to the Guarantee.
Since
closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement, we estimate that we have been able
to
better utilize our resources and reduce expenses of the Business from a combined
basis by approximately $3.5 million on an annualized basis through the following
initiatives:
|
·
|
Because
Primedia refreshed and updated the content library prior to the sale
of
PWPL, we believe that minimal investment, if any, in content is needed
over the next 12 months. Historically, Primedia has spent approximately
$1.1 million per quarter on content
development;
|
|
·
|
As
a result of our acquisition of PWPL from Primedia, corporate overhead
expenses of allocated from Primedia to PWPL should be substantially
eliminated;
|
|
·
|
We
have converted 29 temporary and/or contract employees to permanent
status
and eliminated several current job functions for an annual savings
of
approximately $1.3 million;
|
|
·
|
Because
of the office space and administrative support that we acquired as
a
result of its acquisition of the Business, we have implemented annualized
cost savings of approximately $300,000 through the elimination of
duplicate overhead, such as office space and certain financial staff
in
California;
|
|
·
|
Other
anticipated savings include:
|
|
-
|
Annual
savings of approximately $125,000 from reduced maintenance costs
related
to the purchase of a new computer system. No significant capital
expenditures are planned during the coming 12
months;
|
|
-
|
$90,000
reduction of licensing fees paid for learning management
system;
|
|
-
|
Bonus
and legal fee accruals by PWPL, which are no longer payable, of $212,000
and $100,000.
|
TouchVision
TouchVision
specializes in web-based software products that are designed to be deployed
on
external and internal websites, a network of self-service stations, or
stand-alone terminals. This hardware independence means the software can be
accessed with a wide variety of end-user devices: web browser stations, wireless
tablets and personal digital assistants (PDA's), kiosks, or computers. The
addition of TouchVision provides other Trinity Learning companies with the
potential to incorporate new software and hardware technology and delivery
platforms into their core learning products. Currently, this division is dormant
and will likely be liquidated.
River
Murray Training
River
Murray Training (“RMT”), our Australian subsidiary, provides consultancy
services for customers to establish a sustainable in-house training system,
resource development services to develop customized learning support materials;
and training services to provide a wide selection of fully accredited
training.
The
basis
of the RMT training model is partnering with companies to develop training
programs which provide two key benefits for its customers: first, training
is
made relevant to the workplace; second, active involvement of customer personnel
in training program development creates opportunities that foster the creation
of a learning environment. This in turn provides a medium through which the
customer can achieve continuous improvement.
RMT's
primary sources of revenue are from the design and delivery of consulting and
training services in the Australian agribusiness industry.
VILPAS
VILPAS
is
a learning services company headquartered in Oslo, Norway. For the past five
years, it has been engaged in developing e-learning and other educational
initiatives for corporations and organizations in Norway, Scandinavia and
Europe. FunkWeb, a subsidiary of VILPAS, is a leading provider of workplace
training and retraining for disabled persons. In conjunction with national
and
local employment programs, FunkWeb has a successful track record in providing
disabled persons with skills, certifications and job placement services
primarily related to information technologies, web-based systems, and computing.
The minority partner in FunkWeb is the Norwegian Federation of Functionally
Disabled People, a non-government organization (NGO) representing many of
Norway's associations and programs for the disabled.
FunkWeb
provides classroom-based, instructor-led instruction and also computer-based
self-paced study to functionally-disabled individuals seeking to develop new
workplace skills and certifications. Many countries in Europe and around the
world have announced public initiatives to increase participation rates in
the
labor force among disabled people.
In
aggregate, as of March 31, 2006, the Company derived the following respective
percentage of revenues by geographic region: United States – 96.5%, Australia -
1.7% and Europe – 1.8%.
Competitive
Business Conditions
The
competitive market for corporate training and workplace learning is fragmented
by geography, curricula, and targeted segments of the workforce. Although there
are many companies that provide training, we believe that we derive our
competitive advantage because of our ability to provide a suite of learning
solutions on a worldwide basis at multiple levels of the workforce ranging
from
industrial workers to executive management.
Generally,
most of our competition comes from:
|
·
|
Smaller,
specialized local training
companies;
|
|
·
|
Providers
of online and e-learning products targeted at corporate soft skills
and
technical training;
|
|
·
|
Not-for-profit
trade schools, vocational schools and universities;
and
|
|
·
|
Learning
services divisions of large, multinational computer, software and
management consulting firms.
|
We
anticipate that market resistance may come from the internal trainers in the
organizations to whom our various operating subsidiaries sell training and
certification. Traditional trainers may see outsourcing as a threat to their
job
security. We seek to overcome this by focusing our business development strategy
on senior management in operations, finance and human resources. We will also
reshape the value proposition for internal training functions from tactical
to
strategic. We believe we can enhance the role of internal training and human
capital development departments by providing a proven, integrated set of
learning tools. In this way, we can provide measurable results and increase
both
the actual effectiveness and the perceived value of internal training
departments.
Each
of
our operating subsidiaries faces local and regional competition for customer
contracts and for government and non-government funding of education and
training projects. In geographic areas where they hope to expand, they may
face
competition from established providers of their respective products and
services.
We
believe that our operating subsidiaries derive their competitive advantage
from
one or more of the following:
|
·
|
Proprietary
content, software or technology;
|
|
·
|
Strategic
relationships and alliances, including exclusive development and
marketing
relationships; and
|
|
·
|
Management's
industry and customer
relationships.
|
Intellectual
Property
Our
success and ability to compete are dependent, to a significant degree, on our
ability to develop and maintain the proprietary aspects of our technology and
operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others. We regard certain
aspects of our products and documentation as proprietary and rely on a
combination of trademark, trade secret and copyright laws and licenses and
contractual restrictions to protect our proprietary rights. These legal
protections afford only limited protection. We seek to protect the source code
for our software, documentation and other written materials under trade secret
and copyright laws. We license software pursuant to license agreements that
restrict use of the software by customers. Finally, we seek to limit disclosure
of our intellectual property by requiring employees, consultants and customers
with access to our proprietary information to execute confidentiality agreements
and by restricting access to source codes. We believe, however, that in the
market for online-learning and other technology-enabled education, training
and
certification services that require online business communications and
collaboration, factors such as the technological and creative skills of our
personnel and our ability to develop new products and enhancements to existing
products are more important than the various legal protections of our technology
to establishing and maintaining a technology leadership position.
Our
products and services, in some cases, are derived from proprietary content
developed by our operating subsidiaries. In other cases, we or our subsidiaries
are licensed to market third-party content or software, or in some cases to
modify or customize third party content to meet the needs of our clients. In
certain cases, where we have made investments to develop or co-develop certain
products or services with third-parties, we and our operating subsidiaries
may
be entitled to certain rights of ownership and copyright of intellectual
property to the extent they are delivered to customers in the format developed
by us.
Our
products are generally licensed to end-users on a "right-to-use" basis pursuant
to a license that restricts the use of the products for the customer's internal
business purposes. We also rely on "click wrap" licenses, which include a notice
informing the end-user that, by downloading the product, the end-user agrees
to
be bound by the license agreement displayed on the customer's computer screen.
Despite efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may
attempt to copy aspects of our products or to obtain and use information that
is
regarded as proprietary. Policing unauthorized use of products is difficult
and,
while we are unable to determine the extent to which piracy of our software
exists, it can be expected to be a persistent problem. In addition, the laws
of
many countries do not protect intellectual proprietary rights to as great an
extent as do the laws of the United States. Many of our subsidiaries operate
in
countries other than the United States. We are in the process of reviewing
all
intellectual property ownership and protection among all of our
recently-acquired operating subsidiaries.
Employees
As
of
September 30, 2006, we had approximately 210 full time employees located in
California, Texas, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Australia,
and Norway.
RISK
FACTORS
You
should carefully consider the following risks before making an investment in
our
company. In addition, you should keep in mind that the risks described below
are
not the only risks that we face. The risks described below are the risks that
we
currently believe are material to our business. However, additional risks not
presently known to us, or risks that we currently believe are not material,
may
also impair our business operations. You should also refer to the other
information set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, including the
discussions set forth in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" and "Description of Business," as well
as
our financial statements and the related notes.
Additional
capital is necessary to sustain and grow our
business.
For
the
foreseeable future, unless and until we attain profitable operations, we will
likely experience a net operating loss or minimal net income. Thus, we will
likely be dependent on capital raised in equity and/or debt financing for the
foreseeable future, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain
such financing on favorable terms, if at all.
We
have incurred significant losses to date and expect to continue to incur
losses.
During
the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 we incurred net losses of
approximately $21,175,861 and $15,615,043, respectively. As of June 30, 2006
we
had an accumulated deficit of approximately $59,441,879. We expect to continue
to incur losses for at least the next 6 months. Continuing losses will have
an
adverse impact on our cash flow and may impair our ability to raise additional
capital required to continue and expand our operations.
Our
auditors have issued an opinion of a substantial doubt as to the going concern
of the company which may make it more difficult for us to raise
capital.
Our
auditors have included a substantial going concern in their opinion on our
financial statements because of concerns about our ability to continue as a
going concern. These concerns arise from the fact that we have not generated
sufficient cash flows to meet our obligations and sustain our operations. If
we
are unable to continue as a going concern, you could lose your entire investment
in us. Based on our current cash balance and in light of the recent financing
agreement entered into with Laurus in August 2006, we will not be able to
sustain operations beyond the next 6 months without additional funding.
Furthermore, other than the Laurus financing, we currently have no arrangements
in place or contemplated to secure such additional funding.
If
we are unable to obtain additional funding, we may have to reduce our business
operations.
Although
we have entered into securities purchase agreements providing financing in
an
aggregate amount of $12.0 million, we will likely be required to raise
additional financing. We anticipate, based on currently proposed plans and
assumptions relating to our business, that we will require approximately $4
million to satisfy our operations and capital requirements for the next 12
months. Therefore, if our marketing campaign is not successful in promoting
sales of our products, we will be required to seek additional financing. We
will
also require additional financing to expand into other markets and further
develop our products and services. With the exception of the financing in an
aggregate amount of $12.0 million described in "Recent Developments" section
of
Prospectus Summary, we have no current arrangements with respect to any
additional financing. Consequently, there can be no assurance that any
additional financing will be available when needed, on commercially reasonable
terms or at all. The inability to obtain additional capital may reduce our
ability to continue to conduct business operations. Any additional equity
financing may involve substantial dilution to our then existing
shareholders.
Our
business strategy is based on sustaining and growing our existing
companies.
Our
growth strategy includes integrating our recent acquisition and building a
world-wide learning technology company. Acquisitions involve various inherent
risks, such as:
|
·
|
The
potential loss of key personnel of an acquired
business;
|
|
·
|
The
ability to integrate acquired businesses and to achieve identified
financial and operating synergies anticipated to result from an
acquisition; and
|
|
·
|
Unanticipated
changes in business and economic conditions affecting an acquired
business.
|
We
expect
to experience significant growth and expect such growth to continue into
the
future. This growth is expected to place a significant strain on our management,
financial, operating and technical resources. Failure to manage this growth
effectively could have a material adverse effect on the company's financial
condition or results of operations.
Expansion
will place significant demands on our marketing, sales, administrative,
operational, financial and management information systems, controls and
procedures. Accordingly, our performance and profitability will depend on the
ability of our officers and key employees to (i) manage our business and our
subsidiaries as a cohesive enterprise, (ii) manage expansion through the timely
implementation and maintenance of appropriate administrative, operational,
financial and management information systems, controls and procedures, (iii)
add
internal capacity, facilities and third-party sourcing arrangements as and
when
needed, (iv) maintain service quality controls, and (v) attract, train, retain,
motivate and manage effectively our employees. There can be no assurance that
we
will integrate and manage successfully new systems, controls and procedures
for
our business, or that our systems, controls, procedures, facilities and
personnel, even if successfully integrated, will be adequate to support our
projected future operations. Any failure to implement and maintain such systems,
controls and procedures, add internal capacity, facilities and third-party
sourcing arrangements or attract, train, retain, motivate and manage effectively
our employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
Our
business might never become profitable.
We
have
never been profitable. As of June 30, 2006 we have a substantial accumulated
deficit in the amount of $59,441,879 and we expect our cumulative net losses
and
cumulative negative cash flow to continue until we can increase our revenues
and/or reduce our costs. Long-term demand for our service will depend upon,
among other things, whether we obtain and produce high quality programming
consistent with consumers' tastes; the willingness of consumers to pay for
our
products and services; the cost and availability of our leased satellites;
our
marketing and pricing strategy; and the marketing and pricing strategy of our
competitors. If we are unable ultimately to generate sufficient revenues to
become profitable and have positive cash flow, we could default on our
commitments and may have to discontinue operations or seek a purchaser for
our
business or assets.
Failure
of our leased satellites would significantly damage our
business.
We
lease
one satellite for use in our TWLK business and currently derive approximately
30% of our revenues from satellite customers. Satellites are subject to a number
of risks including: degradation and durability of solar panels, quality of
construction; random failure of satellite components, which could result in
significant damage to or loss of a satellite; amount of fuel satellites consume;
and damage or destruction by electrostatic storms or collisions with other
objects in space, which occur only in rare cases. In the ordinary course of
operation, satellites experience failures of component parts and operational
and
performance anomalies. These failures and anomalies are expected to continue
in
the ordinary course, and it is impossible to predict if any of these future
events will have a material adverse effect on our operations. The loss of
our satellite transmission capabilities would have a significant impact on
our
business. To date we have not experienced any of the above referenced
problems.
Our
national broadcast studio, terrestrial repeater network, satellite uplink
facility or other ground facilities could be damaged by natural catastrophes
or
terrorist activities.
Our
national broadcast studios are located in our leased corporate offices in
Carrollton, Texas. An earthquake, tornado, flood, terrorist attack or other
catastrophic event could damage our national broadcast studio, terrestrial
repeater network or satellite uplink facility, interrupt our service and
harm
our business. We do not have replacement or redundant facilities that can
be
used to assume the functions of our terrestrial repeater network, national
broadcast studio or satellite uplink facility in the event of a catastrophic
event. Any damage to the satellite that transmits to our terrestrial repeater
network would likely result in degradation of our service for some subscribers
and could result in complete loss of service in certain areas. Damage to
our
national broadcast studio would restrict our programming production and require
us to obtain programming from third parties to continue our service. Damage
to
our satellite uplink facility could result in a complete loss of service
until
we could identify a suitable replacement facility and transfer our operations
to
that site. To date we have not experienced any of the above referenced
problems.
We
are controlled by current officers, directors and principal
stockholders.
Our
directors, executive officers and principal stockholders and their affiliates
beneficially own approximately 17.41% of the outstanding shares of our common
stock. So long as our directors, executive officers and principal stockholders
and their affiliates control a majority of our fully diluted equity, they will
continue to have the ability to elect our directors and determine the outcome
of
votes by our stockholders on corporate matters, including mergers, sales of
all
or substantially all of our assets, charter amendments and other matters
requiring stockholder approval. This controlling interest may have a negative
impact on the market price of our common stock by discouraging third-party
investors.
Our
growth strategy is dependent on a variety of requirements, any one of which
may
not be met.
Our
growth strategy and future profitability will be dependent on our ability to
recruit additional management, operational and sales professionals and to enter
into contracts with additional customers in global markets. There can be no
assurance that our business development, sales, or marketing efforts will result
in additional customer contracts, or that such contracts will result in
profitable operations. Further, our growth strategy includes plans to achieve
market penetration in additional industry segments. In order to remain
competitive, we must (a) continually improve and expand our workplace learning
and other curricula, (b) continually improve and expand technology and
management-information systems, and (c) retain and/or recruit qualified
personnel including instructional designers, computer software programmers,
learning consultants, sales engineers, and other operational, administrative
and
sales professionals. There can be no assurance that we will be able to meet
these requirements.
Our
business will suffer if technology-enabled learning products and services are
not widely adopted.
Our
technology-enabled solutions represent a new and emerging approach for the
workplace learning and education, and training market. Our success will depend
substantially upon the widespread adoption of e-learning products for education
and training. The early stage of development of this market makes it difficult
to predict customer demand accurately. A delay in, or failure of, this market
to
develop, whether due to technological, competitive or other reasons, would
severely limit the growth of our business and adversely affect our financial
performance.
We
face significant competition from other companies and changing
technologies.
The
education marketplace is fragmented yet highly competitive and rapidly evolving,
and is expected to continue to undergo significant and rapid technological
change. Other companies may develop products and services and technologies
superior to our services, which may result in our services becoming less
competitive. Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial,
manufacturing, marketing and technical resources, as well as having a larger
market presence than we do and represent significant long-term competition.
In
the event that such a competitor is able to significantly improve the education
marketplace, we may not be able to compete successfully in such markets. We
believe that competition will continue to increase, resulting in the market
pressure to develop and undertake similar or superior technological advances.
Such pressure could adversely affect our pricing, gross margins and our ability
to compete if we are not able to undergo similar significant and rapid
technological changes commensurate with such competition. Our future growth
depends on successful hiring and retention, particularly with respect to sales,
marketing and development personnel, and we may be unable to hire and retain
the
experienced professionals we need to succeed. However, there can be no assurance
that our assessment of the market place is correct, or that our products and
services will be accepted now or in the future.
Failure
on our part to attract and retain sufficient skilled personnel, particularly
sales and marketing personnel and product development personnel, may limit
the
rate at which we can grow, may adversely affect our quality or availability
of
our products and may result in less effective management of our business, any
of
which may harm our business and financial performance. Qualified personnel
are
in great demand throughout the learning and software development industry.
Moreover, newly hired employees generally take several months to attain full
productivity, and not all new hires satisfy performance
expectations.
The
length of the sales cycle for services may make our operating results
unpredictable and volatile.
The
period between initial contact with a potential customer and the purchase of
our
products by that customer typically ranges from six to eighteen months. Factors
that contribute to the long sales cycle include (a) the need to educate
potential customers about the benefits of our services; (b) competitive
evaluations and bidding processes managed by customers; (c) customers' internal
budgeting and corporate approval processes; and (d) the fact that large
corporations often take longer to make purchasing decisions due to the size
of
their organizations.
Our
business may suffer if we are not successful in developing, maintaining and
defending proprietary aspects of technology used in our products and
services.
Our
success and ability to compete are dependent, to a significant degree, on our
ability to develop and maintain the proprietary aspects of our technology and
operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others. Litigation may
be
necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect
trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights
of
others or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Any such
litigation, even if we prevailed, could be costly and divert resources and
could
have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial
condition. We can give no assurance that our means of protecting our proprietary
rights will be adequate, or that our competitors will not independently develop
similar technology. Any failure by us to protect our intellectual property
could
have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial
condition.
There
can
be no assurance that other parties will not claim that our current or future
products infringe their rights in the intellectual property. We expect that
developers of enterprise applications will increasingly be subject to
infringement claims as the number of products and competitors in our industry
segment grows and as the functionality of products in different segments of
the
software industry increasingly overlaps. Any such claims, with or without merit,
could be time consuming to defend, result in costly litigation, divert
management's attention and resources, cause product shipment delays or require
us to enter into marginally acceptable terms. A successful infringement claim
against us and our failure or inability to license the infringed rights or
develop license technology with comparable functionality, could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating
results.
We
integrate third-party software into some of our products. This third-party
software may not continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms.
We
believe, however, there are alternative sources for such technology. If we
are
unable to maintain licenses to the third-party software included in our
products, distribution of our products could be delayed until equivalent
software could be developed or licensed and integrated into our products. This
delay could materially adversely affect our business, operating results and
financial condition.
Laws
and regulations can affect our operations and may limit our ability to operate
in certain jurisdictions.
Providers
of educational programs to the public must comply with many laws and regulations
of federal, state and international governments. We believe that we and our
operating subsidiaries are in substantial compliance with all laws and
regulations applicable to our learning business in the various jurisdictions
in
which we and our subsidiaries operate. However, laws and regulations in the
various jurisdictions in which our subsidiaries operate that target educational
providers could affect our operations in the future and could limit the ability
of our subsidiaries to obtain authorization to operate in certain jurisdictions.
If we or various of our subsidiaries had to comply with, or was found in
violation of, a jurisdiction's current or future licensing or regulatory
requirements, we could be subject to civil or criminal sanctions, including
monetary penalties; we could also be barred from providing educational services
in that jurisdiction. In addition, laws and regulatory decisions in many areas
other than education could also adversely affect our operations. Complying
with
current or future legal requirements could have a material adverse effect on
our
operating results and stock price.
Changes
in exchange rates can unpredictably and adversely affect our consolidated
operating results.
Our
consolidated financial statements are prepared in U.S. dollars, while the
operations of our foreign subsidiaries are conducted in their respective local
currencies. Consequently, changes in exchange rates can unpredictably and
adversely affect our consolidated operating results, and could result in
exchange losses. We do not hedge against the risks associated with fluctuations
in exchange rates. Although we may use hedging techniques in the future, we
may
not be able to eliminate or reduce the effects of currency fluctuations. Thus,
exchange rate fluctuations could have a material adverse impact on our operating
results and stock price.
Our
business is also subject to other risks associated with international
operations.
Our
financial results may be adversely affected by other international risks, such
as:
|
·
|
Difficulties
in translating our courses into foreign
languages;
|
|
·
|
International
political and economic conditions;
|
|
·
|
Changes
in government regulation in various
countries;
|
|
·
|
Difficulty
in staffing foreign offices, and in training and retaining Foreign
instructors;
|
|
·
|
Adverse
tax consequences; and
|
|
·
|
Costs
associated with expansion into new
territories.

Risks
related to our business in Australia and Europe.
We
derive
1% of our revenues from our operations in Australia, and 1% of our revenues
from
our operations in Europe. Accordingly, our results of operations and prospects
are subject, to some extent, to the economic, political and legal developments
in Australia and Europe.
While
Australia’s and Europe’s economies have experienced growth in the past several
years, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors
of
the economy. The Australian and European Union government has implemented
various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of
resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall economy of Australia
and
Europe, but may also have a negative effect on us. Furthermore, trends,
developments and enforcement of conflicts between the United States and the
European Union as monitored by the World Trade Organization may have significant
ramifications on our operations in countries who are members of the European
Union. For example, our operating results and financial condition may be
adversely affected by the government’s potential control over capital and
technological investments or changes in tax regulations. In the future, the
Australian and European government may play a significant role in regulating
education marketplace development by imposing various policies. It could also
exercise significant control over Australia’s and Europe’s economic growth
through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign
currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing
preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.
Fluctuation
of the Australian dollar or the Euro may indirectly affect our financial
condition by affecting the volume of cross-border money
flow.
The
value
of the Australian Dollar and the Euro fluctuates and is subject to changes
in
political and economic conditions in Australia and Europe. The conversion of
the
Australian Dollar or the Euro into foreign currencies, including United States
dollars, is further subject to rates as set by the Australian National bank
or
its European Union equivalent, the foreign exchange market rates and current
exchange rates of a basket of currencies on the world financial markets. As
of
October 3, 2006, the exchange rate between the Australian Dollar and the United
States dollar was 1.34 Australian Dollars to every one United States dollar,
and
the exchange rate between the Euro and the United States dollar was 0.78 Euros
to every one United States dollar. Accordingly, fluctuation of the Australian
Dollar or the Euro may indirectly affect our financial condition by affecting
the volume of cross-border money flow.
We
may have difficulty establishing adequate management, legal and financial
controls in Australia and Europe.
Australia
and certain countries in the European Union where the Company operates
historically have adopted the Western style management and financial reporting
concepts and practices, as well as in modern banking, computer and other control
systems. However, if these conditions or practices change, we may have
difficulty in hiring, training and retaining a sufficient number of qualified
employees to work in Australia, Norway, and/or Europe. As a result of this
risk,
we may experience difficulty in establishing management, legal and financial
controls, collecting financial data and preparing financial statements, books
of
account and corporate records and instituting business practices that meet
newly
adopted standards. To date we have not experienced any of the above referenced
problems.
We
are authorized to issue “blank check” preferred stock which, if issued without
stockholders’ approval, may adversely affect the rights of holders of our common
stock.
Our
certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares
of "blank check" preferred stock with such designations, rights and preferences
as may be determined from time to time by our Board of Directors, of which
we
have currently designated and issued 4,300,000 shares. Accordingly, our Board
of
Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock
with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which would
adversely affect the voting power or other rights of our stockholders. In the
event of issuance, the preferred stock could be utilized, under certain
circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change
in
control, which could have the effect of discouraging bids for the Company and
thereby prevent stockholders from receiving the maximum value for their shares.
We have no present intention to issue any shares of its preferred stock in
order
to discourage or delay a change of control. However, there can be no assurance
that preferred stock will not be issued at some time in the future.
The
availability of a large number of authorized but unissued shares of common
stock
may, upon their issuance, lead to dilution of existing
stockholders.
We
are
authorized to issue 750,000,000 shares of common stock, of which as of October
9, 2006, 43,415,513 shares were issued and outstanding. In connection with
the
financing arrangement that we entered into in March and August of 2006, we
also
have outstanding senior secured convertible debentures that may be converted
into up to 45,000,000 shares of common stock at a fixed conversion price of
$0.10, outstanding Series A convertible preferred stock that may be converted
into up to 43,000,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to
28,354,157 shares of common stock. Assuming conversion and exercise of these
instruments, we will be left with more than 585,000,000 authorized shares of
common stock that remain unissued. These shares may be issued by our Board
of
Directors without further stockholder approval. The issuance of large numbers
of
shares, possibly at below market prices, is likely to result in substantial
dilution to the interests of other stockholders. In addition, issuances of
large
numbers of shares may adversely affect the market price of our common
stock.
RISKS
RELATING TO OUR CURRENT FINANCING AGREEMENTS:
There
are a large number of shares underlying our convertible debenture due March
31,
2010, warrants that may be available for future sale and outstanding Series
A
convertible preferred stock and the sale of these shares may depress the market
price of our common stock.
As
of
October 9, 2006, we had 43,415,513 shares of common stock issued and
outstanding. In connection with the financing arrangements that we entered
into
in March and August of 2006, we also have outstanding senior secured convertible
notes that may be converted into up to 45,000,000 shares of common stock at
a
fixed conversion price of $0.10, outstanding warrants to purchase 28,354,157
shares of common stock, and outstanding Series A convertible preferred stock
that may be converted into up to 43,000,000 shares of common stock. Upon
effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms
a
part, all including up to 45,000,000 shares issuable upon conversion of the
notes and upon exercise of our warrants, may be sold without restriction. The
sale of these shares may adversely affect the market price of our common
stock.
If
we are required for any reason to repay our outstanding secured convertible
debentures, we would be required to deplete our working capital, if available,
or raise additional funds. Our failure to repay the secured convertible
debentures, if required, could result in legal action against us, which could
require the sale of substantial assets.
On
March
31, 2006, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement for the sale of an
aggregate of $4,500,000 in principal amount of secured convertible debentures.
The secured convertible notes are due and payable, with 15% interest, four
years
from the date of issuance, unless sooner converted into shares of our common
stock. In addition, any event of default such as our failure to repay the
principal or interest when due, our failure to issue shares of common stock
upon
conversion by the holder, or our failure to timely file a registration statement
or have such registration statement declared effective, could require the early
repayment of the secured convertible debentures, including a default interest
rate of 18% on the outstanding principal balance of the debentures if the
default is not cured with the specified grace period. At the present moment,
we
do not anticipate that the full amount of the secured convertible notes will
be
converted into shares of our common stock, in accordance with the terms of
the
secured convertible debentures, as the fixed conversion price of the convertible
debentures is $0.25 and exceeds our current market price as quoted on the OTC
Bulletin Board. However, if we are required to repay the secured convertible
debentures, we would be required to use our limited working capital and raise
additional funds. If we were unable to repay the debentures when required,
the
debenture holders could commence legal action against us and foreclose on all
of
our assets to recover the amounts due. Any such action would require us to
curtail or cease operations.
Beginning
March 31, 2008, we must repay 1/24th of the
face amount
of our debentures on a monthly basis, and having the ability to make this
payment in cash or in stock based upon a 20% discount from the market price
at
the time of repayment, the repayment in shares of the principal and interest
on
the debentures may result in substantial dilution to the interests of our other
holders of common stock and the sale of these shares may depress the market
price of our common stock and cause dilution to our existing
stockholders.
As
of
October 9, 2006, we had 43,415,513 shares of common stock issued and
outstanding. In connection with the financing arrangement that we entered into
with Palisades in March 2006 and pursuant to the Letter Agreement #1, we also
have outstanding secured convertible debentures that may be converted into
an
estimated 45,000,000 shares of common stock at the fixed conversion price of
$0.10 per share. In addition, beginning March 31, 2008, we must repay 1/24th
of
the face amount of our debentures on a monthly basis, and we may have the
ability to make this payment in cash or in stock based upon a 20% discount
from
the market price at the time of repayment, the repayment in shares of the
principal and interest on the debentures may result in substantial dilution
to
the interests of our other holders of common stock and the sale of these shares
may depress the market price of our common stock and cause dilution to our
existing stockholders. However, our ability to repay the debentures and any
interest on the debentures is limited to the existence of an effective
Registration Statement pursuant to which Palisades would be permitted to utilize
this Registration Statement to resell all of the shares issuable pursuant to
the
financing documents entered into with Palisades.
The
variable repayment price feature of our convertible debentures could require
us
to issue a substantially greater number of shares, which will cause dilution
to
our existing stockholders. If we elect to repay the debentures and interest
in
shares, the number of shares we will be required to issue upon repayment of
the
debentures will increase if the market price of our stock
decreases.
Using
the
closing bid price of $0.09 of our common stock on October 3, 2006, assuming
full
repayment of the principal and interest of the $4,500,000 in principal amount
of
convertible debentures in shares of our common stock, and based upon a 20%
discount from the market price at the time of repayment of our debentures and
10% discount from the market price at the time of the interest payment, we
would
be required to issue 62,500,000 shares of common stock for the repayment of
debentures, 8,680,556 share for the repayment of interest, for an aggregate
total of 71,180,556 or 163.95% of the 43,415,513 shares of common stock issued
and outstanding on October 9, 2006; however, due to the floating repayment
rates, we do not know the exact number of shares that we could issue upon
repayment of the principal and interest on the debentures.
The
following is an example of the amount of shares of our common stock issuable
upon repayment of 1/24th of the $4,500,000 principal amount of convertible
debentures or $187,500 on a monthly basis, plus accrued interest at 15% per
annum over four years, based on market prices assumed to be 25%, 50% and 75%
below the closing bid price on October 3, 2006 of $0.09:

Based
upon 43,415,513 shares of common stock outstanding as of October 9, 2006. The
convertible debentures contain provisions that limit the stockownership of
the
holder of those debentures to 4.99%. Nevertheless, the percentages set forth
in
the table reflect the percentage of shares that may be issued to the holder
in
the aggregate.
As
illustrated, the number of shares of common stock issuable in connection with
the conversion of the repayment of the debentures will increase if the market
price of our stock declines, which will cause dilution to our existing
stockholders.
The
large number of shares issuable upon conversion of the repayment of the
convertible debentures may result in a change of
control.
As
there
is no limit on the number of shares that may be issued upon conversion of the
repayment amounts of the convertible debentures, these issuances may result
in
the holder of the debentures controlling us. It may be able to exert substantial
influence over all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders, including
the election and removal of directors, amendments to our articles of
incorporation and by-laws, and the approval of a merger, consolidation or sale
of all or substantially all of our assets. In addition, this concentration
of
ownership could inhibit the management of our business and affairs and have
the
effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control or impeding
a
merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination which our
shareholder, may view favorably.
The
lower the stock price, the greater the number of shares could be issued pursuant
to the conversion of the repayment amounts under the convertible
debentures.
The
number of shares that could be issued upon conversion of the repayment amounts
scheduled under the convertible debentures is determined by the market price
of
our common stock prevailing at the time of each conversion. The lower the market
price is, the greater the number of shares that will be issuable under the
agreement. Upon issuance of the shares, to the extent that holder of those
shares will and may attempt to sell the shares into the market, these sales
may
further reduce the market price of our common stock. This in turn will increase
the number of shares issuable under the agreement. This may lead to an
escalation of lower market prices and ever greater numbers of shares to be
issued. A larger number of shares issuable at a discount to a continuously
declining stock price will expose our stockholders to greater dilution and
a
reduction of the value of their investment.
The
issuance of our stock upon conversion of the convertible debentures could
encourage short sales by third parties, which could contribute to the future
decline of our stock price.
The
convertible debentures have the potential to cause significant downward pressure
on the price of our common stock. This is particularly the case if the shares
issued upon conversion and placed into the market exceed the market's ability
to
absorb the increased number of shares of stock. Such an event could place
further downward pressure on the price of our common stock. The opportunity
exists for short sellers and others to contribute to the future decline of
our
stock price. If there are significant short sales of our stock, the price
decline that would result from this activity will cause the share price to
decline more so, which, in turn, may cause long holders of the stock to sell
their shares thereby contributing to sales of stock in the market. If there
is
an imbalance on the sell side of the market for the stock, our stock price
will
decline.
We
are obligated to pay liquidated damages as a result of our failure to have
this
registration statement declared effective prior to July 31, 2006, and the
payment of liquidated damages will either result in depleting our working
capital or issuance of shares of common stock which would cause dilution tour
existing shareholders.
Pursuant
to the terms of our registration rights agreement entered into in connection
with our securities purchase agreement dated March 31, 2005, if we do not have
a
registration statement registering the shares underlying the senior secured
convertible debentures and warrants declared effective on or before July 31,
2006, we are obligated to pay liquidated damages in the amount of 1.5% per
month
of the face amount of the issued and outstanding senior secured convertible
debentures outstanding, which equals $67,500, until the registration statement
is declared effective, subject to an overall limit of up to 15 months of partial
liquidated damages. Palisades subsequently waived all liquidated damages and
defaults related to our failure to have the registration statement declared
effective by that date pursuant to the Letter Agreement entered into with
Palisades dated July 27, 2006, provided that the registration statement is
declared effective by September 27, 2006 (subject to a possible 30 day extension
if the Securities and Exchange Commission issues comments on the registration
statement). These liquidated damages must be paid in cash. If we have to pay
the
liquidated damages, we would be required to use our limited working capital
and
potentially raise additional funds.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK:
There
is a limited market for our common stock which may make it more difficult for
you to dispose of your stock.
Our
common stock has been quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol
"TWLP.OB” since October 13, 2006, prior to that point it was quoted on the OTC
Bulletin Board under the symbol "TTYL.OB”. There is a limited trading market for
our common stock. For example, approximately more than one-third of the trading
days during November of 2005 saw no trading in our stock at all. During that
same period, the largest number of shares traded in one day was 435,000.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the liquidity of any markets that
may develop for our common stock, the ability of holders of our common stock
to
sell our common stock, or the prices at which holders may be able to sell our
common stock.
Our
historic stock price has been volatile and the future market price for our
common stock may continue to be volatile. Further, the limited market for our
shares will make our price more volatile. This may make it difficult for you
to
sell our common stock for a positive return on your
investment.
The
public market for our common stock has historically been very volatile. Since
the day out stock began being quoted on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board
on
November 21, 2001 and through June 30, 2006, the market price for our common
stock has ranged from $2.10 to $0.10. Any future market price for our shares
may
continue to be very volatile. This price volatility may make it more difficult
for you to sell shares when you want at prices you find attractive. We do not
know of any one particular factor that has caused volatility in our stock price.
However, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume
fluctuations that often are unrelated or disproportionate to the operating
performance of companies. Broad market factors and the investing public’s
negative perception of our business may reduce our stock price, regardless
of
our operating performance. Market fluctuations and volatility, as well as
general economic, market and political conditions, could reduce our market
price. As a result, this may make it difficult or impossible for you to sell
our
common stock for a positive return on your investment.
Our
common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC and the trading
market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock
cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our
stock.
Our
common stock is currently listed for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board which
is
generally considered to be a less efficient market than markets such as NASDAQ
or other national exchanges, and which may cause difficulty in conducting trades
and difficulty in obtaining future financing. Further, our securities are
subject to the "penny stock rules" adopted pursuant to Section 15 (g) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act. The penny stock
rules apply to non-NASDAQ companies whose common stock trades at less than
$5.00
per share or which have tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000
if the company has been operating for three or more years). Such 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. Penny stocks sold in violation of
the
applicable rules may entitle the buyer of the stock to rescind the sale and
receive a full refund from the broker.
Many
brokers have decided not to trade "penny stock" 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. In the event that we remain
subject to the "penny stock rules" for any significant period, there may develop
an adverse impact on the market, if any, for our securities. Because our
securities are subject to the "penny stock rules," investors will find it more
difficult to dispose of our securities. Further, for companies whose securities
are traded in the OTC Bulletin Board, it is more difficult: (i) to obtain
accurate quotations, (ii) to obtain coverage for significant news events because
major wire services, such as the Dow Jones News Service, generally do not
publish press releases about such companies, and (iii) to obtain needed
capital.
We
have not paid cash dividends in the past and do not expect to pay cash dividends
in the future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our
stock.
We
have
never paid cash dividends on our stock and do not anticipate paying cash
dividends on our stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of cash dividends
on our stock will depend on our earnings, financial condition and other business
and economic factors affecting us at such time as the board of directors may
consider relevant. If we do not pay cash dividends, our stock may be less
valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price
appreciates.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
This
prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold
from time to time by the selling stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds
from the sale of shares of common stock in this offering. We will, however,
receive proceeds from the exercise, if any, from warrants to purchase 37,217,684
and options to purchase 10,628,000 shares of common stock,
respectively.

2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Our
major
facilities are located in Carrollton, Texas. Premises are located on 14.79
acres
of property and consist of a two story structure and parking for approximately
650 vehicles. The building is approximately seven years old and consists of
205,750 rentable square feet which we lease from an unaffiliated third party
on
a ten year lease with nine years remaining. The facility is used for production,
warehouse and office space. The lease payment is approximately $176,000 per
month. The premises are suitable for their intended uses.
ITEM
3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The
Company has agreed in connection with its purchase of the Primedia Workplace
Learning assets to assume the defense of certain litigation, entitled ARGUS
1
SYSTEMS CORPORATION V. PRIMEDIA WORKPLACE LEARNING L.P., ET AL., No.
04-CV-138918, District Court of Fort Bend County, Texas (the "Argus Claim"),
regarding claims made by Argus 1 Systems Corporation ("Plaintiff") resulting
from that certain Memorandum of Understanding, dated May 22, 2003, ("MOU")
by
and between Plaintiff and PRIMEDIA Workplace Learning LP, a Delaware limited
partnership ("PWPL"). Plaintiff has alleged various contracts and tort claims
and seeks among other things license fees, attorney fees and actual and punitive
damages related to the sale of proprietary content to the Department of Homeland
Security. The Primedia Workplace purchase agreement provides that the Company
shall generally be responsible for paying that portion of any Recovery (as
defined therein) relating to license fees, royalty fees, or other damages
arising from any sales other conduct after the purchase of the Workplace assets
and be responsible for the payment of all on-going license or royalty fees
relating to periods thereafter. In addition, some of the cost and recoveries
may
be split on a 50/50 basis. The Company has not yet been named as a party to
the
litigation, has not engaged legal counsel for the matter, and has conducted
no
discovery. The Company is unable to estimate the likelihood of an unfavorable
outcome or the amount or range of any potential loss its potential liability
or
legal exposure for the litigation.
In
addition, the Company is a defendant in a number of lawsuits brought by its
trade creditors. However, the Company believes that subsequent to its successful
funding, such litigations will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company. Also, the Company has the amounts in dispute accrued for in accounts
payable with an additional accrual of approximately $200,000 for potential
legal
fees recorded in accrued expenses (see Note 6).
ITEM
4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY
HOLDERS
On
September 26, 2006, the Company held a Special Shareholders meeting, for the
Company’s shareholders of record as of August 11, 2006 (the “Record Date”), as
was previously disclosed by the Company in its Proxy Statement filed on Schedule
14(a) with the SEC on August 18, 2006. During the meeting, the affirmative
vote

The
shares quoted are subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9
of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act"), commonly
referred to as the "penny stock" rule. Section 15(g) sets forth certain
requirements for transactions in penny stocks and Rule 15(g) 9(d) (1)
incorporates the definition of penny stock as that used in Rule 3a51-1 of the
Exchange Act.
The
Commission generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has
a
market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Rule
3a51-1 provides that any equity security is considered to be a penny stock
unless that security is: registered and traded on a national securities exchange
meeting specified criteria set by the Commission; authorized for quotation
on
The NASDAQ Stock Market; issued by a registered investment company; excluded
from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share) or the
registrant’s net tangible assets; or exempted from the definition by the
Commission. Trading in the shares is subject to additional sales practice
requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than
established customers and accredited investors, generally persons with assets
in
excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together
with their spouse.
For
transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special
suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and must have
received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the
purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless
exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction, of
a
risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock market. A broker-dealer
also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the
registered representative, and current quotations for the securities. Finally,
the monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for
the
penny stocks held in the account and information on the limited market in penny
stocks. Consequently, these rules may restrict the ability of broker dealers
to
trade and/or maintain a market in the company’s common stock and may affect the
ability of shareholders to sell their shares.
Holders
As
of
November 1, 2005, we had approximately 601 shareholders of record.
Dividends
We
have
not declared any dividends to date. We have no present intention of paying
any
cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future, as we intend
to
use earnings, if any, to generate growth. The payment by us of dividends, if
any, in the future, rests within the discretion of our Board of Directors and
will depend, among other things, upon our earnings, our capital requirements
and
our financial condition, as well as other relevant factors. There are no
material restrictions in our certificate of incorporation or bylaws that
restrict us from declaring dividends.

ITEM
6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF
OPERATION
Some
of
the statements contained in this Form 10-KSB that are not historical facts
are
"forward-looking statements" which can be identified by the use of terminology
such as "estimates," "projects," "plans," "believes," "expects," "anticipates,"
"intends," or the negative or other variations, or by discussions of strategy
that involve risks and uncertainties. We urge you to be cautious of the
forward-looking statements, that such statements, which are contained in this
Form 10-KSB, reflect our current beliefs with respect to future events and
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors affecting
our
operations, market growth, services, products and licenses. No assurances can
be
given regarding the achievement of future results, as actual results may differ
materially as a result of the risks we face, and actual events may differ from
the assumptions underlying the statements that have been made regarding
anticipated events. Factors that may cause actual results, our performance
or
achievements, or industry results, to differ materially from those contemplated
by such forward-looking statements include without limitation:
|
1.
|
Our
ability to attract and retain management, and to integrate and maintain
technical information and management information
systems;
|
|
2.
|
Our
ability to generate customer demand for our
products;
|
|
3.
|
The
intensity of competition; and
|
|
4.
|
General
economic conditions.
|
Seasonality
The
Company's operations are seasonal in nature. Operating results have historically
been stronger in the second half of the year with generally strongest results
generated in the fourth quarter of the year. This seasonality causes, and will
likely continue to cause, a variation in the Company's quarterly operating
results. Such variations have an effect on the timing of the Company's cash
flows and the reported quarterly results.
All
written and oral forward-looking statements made in connection with this Form
10-KSB, attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly
qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. Given the
uncertainties that surround such statements, you are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
Overview
In
the
first quarter of fiscal year 2005, we announced that we had modified our
strategy to focus our management and financial resources on new acquisition
targets and operations in North America, with a secondary focus on Western
Europe. During the remainder of fiscal 2005 management focused its efforts
on
identifying and analyzing various merger and acquisition candidates in the
United States. These efforts culminated with the announcement on April 1, 2005
of an asset purchase agreement whereby we acquired substantially all of the
assets of Primedia Workplace Learning from Primedia, Inc.
Our
financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America generally applicable to a going concern, which
contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the
normal course of business. Currently, we do not have significant cash, nor
do we
have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs
and to allow us to continue as a going concern. Except as noted below we do
not
currently possess a financial institution source of financing and we cannot
be
certain that our existing sources of cash will be adequate to meet our liquidity
requirements.
On
August
31, 2006, we entered into agreements with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., a Cayman
Islands corporation (“Laurus”), pursuant to which we sold debt and issued our
preferred stock to Laurus in a private offering pursuant to exemption from
registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The
securities being sold and issued to Laurus include the following:
1.
A
secured three-year term note (the “Secured Note”) with a principal amount of
$2,500,000 (the “Secured Note Amount”), which matures on August 31, 2009 (the
“Maturity Date”);
2.
A
secured three-year revolving note with a principal amount of $5,000,000 (the
“Revolving Note”; the Revolving Note and the Secured Note shall be collectively
referred to as the “Notes”);
3.
1,500,000 shares (the “Shares”) of preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”),
which is redeemable by us at a price of $0.10 per share (the “Set Price”) at any
time until August 31, 2011, and may be converted by Laurus at any time into
our
common stock, no par value per share (the “Common Stock”), at the Set
Price.
To
meet
our present and future liquidity requirements, we will continue to seek
additional funding through private placements, conversion of outstanding loans
and payables into common stock, development of the business of our
newly-acquired subsidiaries, collections on accounts receivable, and through
additional acquisitions that have sufficient cash flow to fund subsidiary
operations. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining
more debt and/or equity financing in the future or that our results of
operations will materially improve in either the short- or the long-term. If
we
fail to obtain such financing and improve our results of operations, we will
be
unable to meet our obligations as they become due. That would raise substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Results
of Operations
Fiscal
Year Ended June 30, 2006 As Compared To the Fiscal Year Ended June 30,
2005
Our
sales
revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 were $25,840,468 as compared
to
$11,176,974 for fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. This significant increase
in
revenues is due primarily to twelve months of operations for TWL Knowledge
Group, Inc. $24,930,881 compared to three months of operational results for
fiscal year 2005 $8,168,297.
Costs
of
sales, which consist of labor and hardware costs, and other incidental expenses,
were $7,036,893 for the fiscal year 2006 as compared to $2,910,244 for the
fiscal year 2005, resulting in gross profit of $18,803,575 for the fiscal year
2006 as compared to $8,266,730 for the fiscal year 2005. These increases in
both
costs and gross profit were due to and associated with increased revenues from
the full year operations of TWL Knowledge Group, Inc.
Operating
expenses for fiscal year 2006 were $34,042,741 as compared to $16,802,125 for
fiscal year 2005. Salaries and benefits increased $10,706,790 from $7,497,629
for fiscal year 2005 to $18,204,419 for fiscal year 2006. Professional fees
increased $1,719,795 from $1,495,874 for fiscal year 2005 to $3,215,669 for
fiscal year 2006. Selling, general and administrative expense was $8,579,360
for
fiscal 2006 as compared to $4,837,038 for fiscal year 2005. Depreciation and
amortization increased $1,259,629 from $2,783,664 for fiscal year 2005 to
$4,043,293 for fiscal year 2006. The increases are due largely to full year
operations of TWL Knowledge Group, Inc
Other
expense of $5,936,695 for the year ended June 30, 2006 was $1,198,868 less
than
the year ended June 30, 2005. Increased net interest expense $4,366,810, loss
due to conversion of debt $1,614,064 and financing costs of $460,614 offset
by
the change in fair value of derivative valuation of $180,286 and gain on
forfeiture of warrants due to financing of $280,328 accounted for most of the
other expenses during fiscal year 2006. During the fiscal year 2005, other
expenses were primarily made up of net interest expense $2,445,410, equity
losses and impairment of investment in associated companies $4,192,460, debt
conversion expenses $231,579 and impairment of intangible assets
$234,280.
We
reported net loss available for common stockholders of $21,175,861 or $0.52
per
share for the fiscal year 2006 as compared with $15,615,043 or $0.49 per share
for the fiscal year 2005.
The
following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the combined
results of operations of the Company and twelve months of operations of
TouchVision, RMT, and VILPAS and three months of operations of TWL Knowledge
Group, Inc. The Company’s investments in Riverbend and IRCA are accounted for an
equity basis. Accordingly, Riverbend’s and IRCA’s business operating results are
not included in the Company's combined unaudited pro forma financial information
for the twelve month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. In October
2005, The Company and IRCA completed a Settlement Agreement whereby we mutually
rescinded the original acquisition agreement, resulting in no ownership
positions for IRCA in our company and vice versa (see “Subsequent Events – IRCA
Settlement Agreement”).
We
operate as a single business segment and have one product offering which is
training and education; however, our consolidated subsidiaries are organized
geographically into reporting segments consisting of the United States Division,
the European Division, the Australia Division and the South Africa Division.
Our
United States division comprises our corporate operations and subsidiaries
domiciled in the United States of America. The European division comprises
subsidiaries domiciled in Europe; the Australia Division comprises subsidiaries
domiciled in Australia. The South Africa division comprises non-consolidated
subsidiaries domiciled in South Africa accounted for using the equity method
of
accounting and includes a two person office owned by them in
Australia.

The
following describes underlying trends in the businesses of each of our three
subsidiaries that operate as a single business segment and have one product
offering which is training and education.
VILPAS.
During 2005, the Norwegian government refined its mandates with regard to
functionally disabled workers, with funding modified to target not only training
of the handicapped but also at subsidizing direct employment of handicapped
and
challenged individuals. FunkWeb, a majority owned subsidiary of VILPAS, revised
some of its programs and market strategies to be able to participate in
government programs aimed directly at increasing employment among functionally
disabled workers. Subsequent to June 30, 2005 the Norwegian government modified
its approach to handicapped workers back, toward increased funding for these
initiatives. There is little or no seasonality to the business of VILPAS. The
majority of operating costs are fixed costs, with some variable costs incurred
related to cost of instructors, which costs may vary depending upon enrollment.
Management has commenced identifying potential business partners and potential
merger and acquisition targets in Norway and Scandinavia with the goal of
strengthening and expanding the longer-term business operations of VILPAS and
Funkweb. Such partnerships or acquisitions could dilute the Company’s ownership
positions from current levels.
RMT.
During fiscal year 2005 there has been a continued general reduction in
Australian government subsidies for corporate training. As a result, RMT and
other Registered Training Organizations must rely on competitive advantages
to
retain clients and to attract new customers. Accordingly, during 2005 a
significant portion of RMT financial and management resources were allocated
for
the purpose of developing new products and services to expand its reach beyond
the Australian viticulture industry. The efforts have resulted in the
development of FMRMT's eLearning site ( www.r-m-t-online.com) which offers
a
range of Certificate IV and Diploma qualifications using a facilitated, online
blend of learning. Training course and products available through this new
medium include: Training and Assessment courses for careers in training,
Frontline Management Training, Small Business Management Training, Retail
Management courses, HR Management courses, and Viniculture/ Horticulture
Management credentials. There is little or no seasonality to RMT's
business.
New
investment for courseware increased during fiscal year 2005. Variable costs
for
RMT primarily include one-time and ongoing expenses for outsourced course
development and, at times, instructors. Presently, RMT sells its products and
services in Australia in local currency (Australian Dollars) and there is little
or no effect from currency exchange. In the future, if RMT is successful in
selling in markets outside of Australia, foreign exchange factors may impact
the
ability of RMT to market and compete in a profitable manner.
TouchVision.
TouchVision has begun to expand its business into developing new software and
consulting services for the hospital and healthcare market, while continuing
to
supply industry sectors it has focused on in the past. We believe investments
in
technology infrastructure by hospitals and healthcare providers will be stable
in the coming fiscal years. There is little or no seasonality to the business
of
TouchVision. In addition to sales through its existing sales force, TouchVision
is in the process of exploring distribution or licensing arrangements with
outside companies selling to the healthcare industry. Depending on sales channel
mix, some sales through outside agents may result in lower retained revenues
but, due to corresponding lower fixed costs, these sales may nonetheless have
a
positive impact on the bottom line. Following the acquisition of assets from
Primedia, Inc. the Company commenced exploring opportunities to achieve
operating efficiencies through the integration of certain financial, technical,
and customer support aspects of the TouchVision business into the operations
of
TWL Knowledge Group, Inc. These efforts are continuing. Currently this division
is dormant. It is anticipated that it will be liquidated.

VILPAS.
During 2005, the Norwegian government refined its mandates with regard to
functionally disabled workers, with funding modified to target not only training
of the handicapped but also at subsidizing direct employment of handicapped
and
challenged individuals. FunkWeb, a majority owned subsidiary of VILPAS, revised
some of its programs and market strategies to be able to participate in
government programs aimed directly at increasing employment among functionally
disabled workers. Subsequent to June 30, 2005 the Norwegian government modified
its approach to handicapped workers back, toward increased funding for these
initiatives. There is little or no seasonality to the business of VILPAS. The
majority of operating costs are fixed costs, with some variable costs incurred

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Operating
Activities
Our
expenses are currently greater than our revenues. We have a history of losses,
and our accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2006 was $59,441,879, as compared
to
$38,266,018 as of June 30, 2005.
At
June
30, 2006, we had a cash balance of $181,339. Net cash used by operating
activities during the fiscal year 2006 was $4,699,033, attributable primarily
to
our loss from continuing operations of $21,175,861. Net cash provided by
investing activities was $5,087,527. Net cash used by financing activities
was
$952,728 for fiscal year 2006.
Accounts
receivable decreased to $2,680,555 at June 30, 2006. This decrease is due to
increased collection efforts of the receivables owed to TWL Knowledge Group,
Inc.
Accounts
payable increased to $6,830,088 at June 30, 2006. Accrued expenses increased
to
$4,697,277 at June 30, 2006. These increases are attributable to expenses
incurred by our operating subsidiaries, including TWL Knowledge Group, Inc.,
and
our corporate office expenditures during the year.
As
a
professional services organization we are not capital intensive. Capital
expenditures historically have been for computer-aided instruction, accounting
and project management information systems, and general-purpose computer
equipment to accommodate our growth.
We
continued to seek equity and debt financing in fiscal 2006 to support our growth
and to finance recent and proposed acquisitions.
On
March
2, 2006, Jack Rutherford purchased 625,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company
at $0.16 per share or $100,000. In addition we issued 625,000 warrants
exercisable at $0.20 per share to Mr. Rutherford in consideration of the
purchase. We further issued 250,000 warrants exercisable at $0.15 per share
to
Mr. Rutherford in consideration for a loan made in the amount of $100,000 by
Mr.
Rutherford to the Company on March 1, 2006. The issuance of these securities
was
made in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction not
involving any public offering. No advertising or general solicitation was
employed in offering the securities, and the issuance of the securities was
made
to an existing shareholder of our company.
On
March
3, 2006, William T. Merrill purchased 156,250 shares of Common Stock of the
Company at $0.16 per share or $25,000. In addition we issued 156,250 warrants
exercisable at $0.20 per share to Mr. Merrill in consideration of the purchase.
The issuance of these securities was made in reliance on Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act as a transaction not involving any public offering. No
advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering the securities,
and
the issuance of the securities was made to an existing shareholder of our
company.
On
March
3, 2006, David Spada purchased 156,250 shares of Common Stock of the Company
at
$0.16 per share or $25,000. In addition we issued 156,250 warrants exercisable
at $0.20 per share to Mr. Spada in consideration of the purchase. The issuance
of these securities was made in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act
as a transaction not involving any public offering. No advertising or general
solicitation was employed in offering the securities, and the issuance of the
securities was made to an existing shareholder of our company.
On
March
31, 2006, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the
"Securities Agreement") with certain accredited investors for the issuance
of up
to an aggregate of $8,500,000 in face amount of 15% Senior Secured Convertible
Debentures (the “Debentures”) maturing March 31, 2010, and four year warrants
(the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 13,600,000 share of common stock of
the Company. The Debentures accrue interest at a rate of 15% per annum and
we
issued to Palisades Master Fund LP a face amount of $4,500,000 in Debentures
and
warrants to purchase an aggregate of 7,800,000 shares of common stock pursuant
to the first closing which occurred on March 31, 2006. The Company claims an
exemption from the registration requirements of the Act for the private
placement of these securities pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and/or
Regulation D promulgated thereunder since, among other things, the transaction
did not involve a public offering, the investors were accredited investors
and/or qualified institutional buyers, the investors had access to information
about the company and their investment, the investors took the securities for
investment and not resale, and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict
the transfer of the securities.
On
August
31, 2006, TWL Corporation Learning Corporation (the “Company”) entered into
agreements with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., a Cayman Islands corporation
(“Laurus”), pursuant to which the Company sold debt and issued preferred stock
of the Company to Laurus in a private offering pursuant to exemption from
registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The
securities being sold and issued to Laurus include the following:
1.
A
secured three-year term note (the “Secured Note”) with a principal amount of
$2,500,000 (the “Secured Note Amount”), which matures on August 31, 2009 (the
“Maturity Date”);
2.
A
secured three-year revolving note with a principal amount of $5,000,000 (the
“Revolving Note”; the Revolving Note and the Secured Note shall be collectively
referred to as the “Notes”);
3.
1,500,000 shares (the “Shares”) of preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”), of
the Company, which is redeemable by the Company at a price of $0.10 per share
(the “Set Price”) at any time until August 31, 2011, and may be converted by
Laurus at any time into common stock, no par value per share (the “Common
Stock”), of the Company at the Set Price.
Of
the
Secured Notes, net proceeds of $2,173,000 were received by the Company on the
Closing Date. Any proceeds of the Revolving Note will be deposited in a
restricted account with Cole Taylor Bank as security for the total loan amount
and for use by us to make acquisitions as approved by Laurus. We also agreed
to
pay, out of the Loan proceeds, the sum of $270,000 to Laurus Capital Management,
LLC, the manager of Laurus, the sum of $60,000 to Laurus as reimbursement for
Laurus’ legal fees, due diligence fees and expenses incurred in connection with
the transaction, and $2,000 to Loeb & Loeb LLP as escrow agent
fees.
During
Fiscal Year 2005 our financing activities were as follows:
On
August
31, 2004, we entered into a series of agreements with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd.
(“Laurus”) whereby we issued to Laurus (i) a secured convertible term note
(“Note”) in the principal amount of $5.5 million and (ii) a five-year warrant
(“Warrant”) to purchase up to 1,600,000 shares of our common stock at a price of
$0.81 per share. Of the Note proceeds, the outstanding principal balance of
$500,000 was repaid to Oceanus, $233,000 was used for operations, $4,491,000
was
deposited in a restricted account as security for the total loan amount and
for
use by us to make acquisitions as approved by Laurus. Restricted funds may
also
be released for operations at a rate of 25% of the dollar volume of our stock
for a twenty day period. The principal amount of the Note carries an interest
rate of prime plus two percent, subject to adjustment, and we must make monthly
payments of at least $22,000, commencing November 1, 2004, toward the
outstanding non-restricted principal amount. The principal amount of the Note
and accrued interest thereon is convertible into shares of our common stock
at a
price of $0.72 per share, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. We have granted
Laurus a right of first refusal with respect to any debt or equity financings
and Laurus has the right to loan to us up to an additional $2.2 million, within
270 days of closing, on the same terms and conditions as contained in the Laurus
agreements pertaining to the Note and Warrant.
On
July
13, 2005, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”)
with Instream Investment Partners, LLC, as administrative agent, and certain
lenders (the “Lenders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the
Lenders loaned to the Company $3,500,000. The Company may borrow up to an
additional $1,000,000 under the Credit Agreement until January 13, 2006. The
loan matures on January 13, 2007, with interest payable monthly at the rate
of
12% per annum. The obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement are
secured by a security interest in substantially all existing and hereafter
acquired assets of the Company. TouchVision, Inc. and TWL Knowledge Group,
Inc.,
subsidiaries of the Company, each have guaranteed the obligations of the Company
under the Credit Agreement, and have granted the Lenders a security interest
in
substantially all of their respective existing and hereafter acquired assets.
The Company also granted to the Lenders warrants (the “Warrants”) to acquire up
to an aggregate of 5.25% of the outstanding common stock of the Company on
a
fully-diluted basis, and entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with
respect to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Copies
of
the Credit Agreement, the form of Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement
(collectively, the “Agreements”) were filed in a Report on Form 8K and are
incorporated herein by reference. A portion of the proceeds of the Credit
Agreement was used by the Company to repay all amounts outstanding under the
Secured Convertible Term Note and Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Laurus
Agreements”) dated August 31, 2004 with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”). In
connection therewith, Laurus converted a portion of the note into 1,198,124
shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.24 per share.
In
connection with the execution of the Credit Agreement, the Company issued
Warrants to the Lenders, which Warrants are exercisable for a period of five
years and permit the holders the right to acquire up to an aggregate of 5.25%
of
the outstanding common stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis at a price
per share equal to $0.266, subject to adjustment as provided in the Warrants.
The Company believes that the issuance of the Warrants is exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section
4(2)
thereof. A copy of the form of Warrant is filed as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and
is
incorporated herein by reference. As noted above, on July 13, 2005, in
connection with the payoff of amounts outstanding under the Laurus Agreements,
Laurus converted a portion of the note into 1,198,124 shares of common stock
at
a conversion price of $0.24 per share. The Company believes that the issuance
of
common stock upon conversion of the note is exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 4(2)
thereof.
To
meet
our present and future liquidity requirements, we are continuing to seek
additional funding through private placements, conversion of outstanding loans
and payables into common stock, development of the businesses of our
newly-acquired subsidiaries, collections on accounts receivable, and through
additional acquisitions that have sufficient cash flow to fund subsidiary
operations. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining
more debt and/or equity financing in the future or that our results of
operations will materially improve in either the short- or the long-term. If
we
fail to obtain such financing and improve our results of operations, we will
be
unable to meet our obligations as they become due. That would raise substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our
financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America generally applicable to a going concern, which
contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the
normal course of business. Currently, we do not have significant cash. To
sustain operations our material assets are pledged as security for the Instream
credit facility. We do not have an established source of revenues sufficient
to
cover our operating costs that will allow us to continue as a going concern.
We
do not currently possess a financial institution source of financing and we
cannot be certain that our existing sources of cash will be adequate to meet
our
liquidity requirements. Based upon our cash balance at June 30, 2006, we will
not be able to sustain operations for more than 6
month(s) without additional sources of
financing.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
We
do not
have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have
a
current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of
operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Audit
Committee
TWL
Corporation (formerly Trinity Learning Corporation)
Lafayette,
California
We
have
audited the accompanying balance sheet of TWL Corporation
(formerly Trinity Learning Corporation) as of June 30, 2006, and the related
statements of operations, stockholders’
equity and
comprehensive loss and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2006 and
2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB (United
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free
of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor
were we engaged to perform, audits of its internal control over financial
reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In
our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of TWL Corporation
(formerly Trinity Learning Corporation) as of June 30, 2006, and the results
of
their operations and their cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2006 and
2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United
States of America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will
continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 15 to the financial
statements, the Company has a working capital deficit and has suffered recurring
operating losses, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue
as a going concern. Management’s
plans in
regard to these matters are also described in Note 15. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of
these uncertainties.
As
discussed in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements, there were
errors
in reporting the Company’s accounting for warrants associated with debt
financing, errors in the classification of short and long term convertible
debt,
errors in reporting the non-conversion of contingently redeemable stock,
and
errors in reporting the Company’s accrued liabilities in the balance sheet and
the statements of operations that were discovered by
management. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have
been restated to correct the errors.

(formerly
Trinity Learning Corporation)
Notes
to
Consolidated Financial Statements
June

Note
1 - Accounting Policies (Restated)
Overview
TWL
Corporation (the “Company”), formerly known as Trinity Learning Corporation, is
creating a global learning company by acquiring operating subsidiaries that
specialize in educational and training content, delivery, and services for
particular industries or that target a particular segment of the workforce.
Trinity Learning believes that there are product and service synergies between
and among our various subsidiaries that position us to create a global learning
company that can provide integrated learning services to corporations,
organizations, educational institutions, and individual learners, using a
variety of delivery technologies, platforms and methods to meet the growing
need
for global learning solutions. Trinity Learning believes that it will be one
of
the first companies to be able to serve major multinational employers at
multiple levels of their organizations and assist these customers to meet the
challenges of a major turnover in the world’s workforce over the coming decade.
Factors such as demographics, technology, and globalization will require
enterprises, organizations and governments around the world to invest in human
capital to remain competitive.
On
August
6, 2003, our board of directors approved a change in our fiscal year-end from
September 30 to June 30 to align with those of the companies we had already
acquired or were at that time in the process of acquiring. Future operating
results may not be comparable to historical operating results due to our
September 1, 2003 acquisitions of TouchVision, Inc. (“TouchVision”); River
Murray Training Pty Ltd (“RMT”); and 51% of the issued and outstanding shares of
Ayrshire Trading Limited (“Ayrshire”), as well as our December 1, 2003
acquisition of Danlas Limited (“Danlas”) and March 1, 2004 acquisition of
Trinity Learning AS (“VILPAS”), formerly known as Virtual Learning Partners, AS.
Ayrshire owns 95% of the issued and outstanding shares of Riverbend Group
Holdings (Pty.) Ltd. (“Riverbend”). These companies are collectively referred to
as Riverbend. Danlas owns 51% of IRCA (Proprietary) Limited (“IRCA”). These
companies are collectively referred to as IRCA.
On
September 1, 2003, we completed the acquisition of 51% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Ayrshire that owns 95% of Riverbend, a South African
company that provides learning services to corporations and individuals in
South
Africa. We also acquired the option to purchase the remaining 49% of Ayrshire.
In consideration for the Ayrshire shares, we issued a convertible
non-interest-bearing promissory note in the amount of $20,000, which amount
is
convertible from time to time but no later than December 30, 2006 into a maximum
of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock. The value of shares issuable upon
conversion (based upon a $0.50 per share value) in excess of the note amount
has
been classified as contingently redeemable equity. Of these shares, up to
400,000 may be withheld in satisfaction for any breach of warranties by the
former shareholders of Ayrshire. The determination of purchase price was based
on, among other things, annual revenue for the two preceding years relative
to
comparable market based values for publicly traded companies. The Ayrshire
shares are subject to escrow, and pledge agreements will be re-conveyed to
the
former shareholders in the event of a default by us of certain terms and
conditions of the acquisition agreements, including, among other things, a
voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding involving us or the failure
by us
to list our shares of common stock on a major stock exchange by December 30,
2006. The results of operations for Ayrshire, using the equity method, have
been
included in the Company’s financial statements since the date of acquisition. As
of June 30, 2004, no shares had been issued in exchange for the convertible
promissory note.
Effective
April 1, 2005, the Company entered into and closed an asset purchase agreement
(the "Asset Purchase Agreement") with PRIMEDIA Inc. and two PRIMEDIA affiliates
(collectively,"PRIMEDIA"), whereby PRIMEDIA sold to the Company certain assets
related to its PRIMEDIA's Workplace Learning division ("PWPL"). The assets
comprised those relating to PWPL's Healthcare Group, Government Services Group,
Industrial Services Group, Shared Services Group, and all other assets of PWPL,
including all of the assets of PRIMEDIA Digital Video Holdings LLC, excluding
only those assets primarily related to the operations of PWPL's Financial
Services Group and/or PWPL's Interactive Medical Network business (such acquired
assets referred to collectively hereinafter as the "Business"). These assets
are
comprised of content libraries, trademarks, brands, intellectual property,
databases, and physical assets. Included in the sale are certain video
production and distribution capabilities used to deliver integrated learning
solutions to professionals in the homeland security, healthcare, industrial,
fire & emergency, government, law enforcement and private security markets
currently served by PWPL.
In
October 2005, the parties entered into a Settlement Agreement with provisions
as
follows: (a) Musca, TLC and Danlas agreed to cancel the definitive agreement,
and Danlas, IRCA and IRCA Investments agreed to cancel the sale of shares
agreement; (b) all rights and obligations of the parties contained in the sale
of shares and definitive agreements, which have not been exercised and/or
fulfilled, shall expire; (c) any transfer of shares that may have been effected
as envisaged in the sale of shares agreement and the definitive agreement,
is
void ab initio, and the parties agree to co-operate to the extent necessary
to
restore their positions as shareholders as they were before the conclusion
of
the sale of shares agreement, the definitive agreement and related agreements;
(d) IRCA and IRCA Investments abandon all claims which either of them may have
against Trinity International in terms of, arising from, or in connection with
the expansion contribution; (e) Trinity Learning cedes all of its rights under
terms of the interest free loan to Musca; (f) all options to purchase stock
of
Trinity Learning granted or to have been granted to employees, directors or
officers of IRCA shall be rescinded; (g) IRCA, IRCA Investments and Musca shall
indemnify Trinity Learning and hold it harmless against any loss which the
Company may suffer as a result of any of the managers of these entities and/or
Titan Aviation exercising their respective rights to acquire shares in the
share
capital of Trinity Learning. Further, the parties agreed that they shall
take the necessary steps to release the bank guarantee, and to arrange for
the
repayment to Trinity Learning of the amount of $250,000 deposited by TLC with
Standard Bank Limited (plus accrued interest). Such funds have been
released and transferred to Trinity Learning. Finally, the parties agreed
that all disputes which exist between them in terms of, arising from, or in
connection with the definitive agreement, the sale of shares agreement and/or
the relationship between the parties are fully and finally settled with effect
from the effective date, and all obligations which each of them may owe to
any
other of them and all claims (arising out of contract and statute), which each
of them may have against any other of them (irrespective of whether that claim
would ordinarily arise in terms of the laws of the RSA or any other
jurisdiction), in terms of, arising from, or in connection with the definitive
agreement, the sale of shares agreement and all agreement contained in
appendices thereto and/or the relationship between the parties generally from
the commencement of such relationship until and including the signature date
shall have been settled.

Effective
September 29, 2006, the Company filed Articles of Amendment (the “Articles”)
with the Secretary of State of the State of Utah to effect a name change of
the
Company from Trinity Learning Corporation to TWL Corporation. The Articles
were
further amended to increase the authorized common stock of the Company from
100,000,000 shares to 750,000,000 shares.
In
addition, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware, effective as of September 12, 2006, to effect
the name change of its subsidiary Trinity Workplace Learning Corporation to
TWL
Knowledge Group, Inc.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America necessarily
requires it to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at
the balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of revenues and costs during
the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On
an
ongoing basis, the Company reviews its estimates based on information that
is
currently available. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company
to
revise its estimates. Significant estimates include revenue recognition policy,
valuation and allocation of the purchase consideration of the assets and
liabilities and assets acquired in business combinations and equity investments
in associated companies, our determination of fair value of common stock issued
in business combinations and equity investments in associated companies, and
the
annual valuation and review for impairment of assets acquired and of long-lived
assets.
Principles
of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
Our
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our
controlled subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions are
eliminated in consolidation.
Our
51%
ownership in IRCA and our 51% ownership in Ayrshire, which owns 95% of
Riverbend, have been accounted for in the financial statements included with
this report using the equity method of accounting. Emerging Issues Task Force
Issue 96-16, “Investor’s Accounting for an Investee When the Investor Has a
Majority Voting Interest but the Minority Shareholders Have Certain Approval
or
Voting or Veto Rights” (EITF 96-16) provides guidance as to the distinction
between protective rights of the minority shareholder which do not overcome
the
presumption of consolidation and substantive participating rights of the
minority shareholder. Substantive participating rights that allow the minority
shareholder to participate in establishing operating and capital decisions
in
the ordinary course of business, overcome the presumption that the investor
should consolidate the investee.

In
the Riverbend transaction, Section 20.2.11.3 of the Definitive Agreement
(“the Agreement”) between Trinity, the majority owner in Ayrshire, and
Great Owl Limited (“Great Owl”), the minority owner in Ayrshire, prevents
Ayrshire and its subsidiaries from approving, canceling or effecting
“material changes to the annual budget or any modification thereof” or
“incur (ring) unbudgeted capital expenditure of US$150,000 per item
or
US$500,000 per annum.” Also, pursuant to Section 18.3 of the Agreement,
Trinity and Great Owl are “each entitled to appoint an equal number of
directors to the board of directors” of Ayrshire. These substantive
participating rights of the minority shareholder preclude consolidation
of
this investment and will remain in effect until Trinity owns 100%
of
Ayrshire.

·

In
the IRCA transaction, Section 20.1.19.3 of the Sale of Shares Agreement
(“SOS Agreement”) between Danlas Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Trinity, and IRCA Investments (Pty.) Ltd. (“IRCA Investments”), the
minority shareholder in IRCA, prevents IRCA and its subsidiaries
from
approving, canceling or effecting “material changes to the annual budget
or any modification thereof, or to its strategic plans or marketing
strategy or incur(ring) unbudgeted capital expenditure in excess
of
R200,000 (two hundred thousand Rand) per item or R800,000 (eight
hundred
thousand Rand) in total per annum.” Also, pursuant to Section 19 of the
SOS Agreement, Danlas and IRCA Investments are “each entitled to appoint
equal number of directors to the board of directors” of IRCA. These
substantive participating rights of the minority shareholder will
remain
in effect until Danlas owns 60% of
IRCA.
|
The
operating results and cash flows from operations as a result of the settlement
agreement are included only for the months prior to divestiture of IRCA in
October 2005 (see Note 2 – Divestiture of IRCA).
Purchase
Accounting
The
Company accounts for its investments in its subsidiaries using the purchase
method of accounting. Intangible assets are recognized apart from goodwill
if
they are contractual in nature or separately identifiable. Acquisitions are
measured on the fair value of consideration exchanged and, if the consideration
given is not cash, measurement is based on the fair value of the consideration
given or the fair value of the assets acquired, whichever is more reliably
measurable. The excess of cost of an acquired entity over the net amounts
assigned to identifiable acquired assets and liabilities assumed is recognized
as goodwill. The valuation and allocation process relies on significant
assumptions made by management, in particular, the value of the shares issued
to
affect the purchase prior to the Company having established a trading market
for
its stock.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company applies the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104,
REVENUE RECOGNITION IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (“SAB104”), which provides guidance
on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial
statements filed with the SEC. The SAB 104 outlines the basic criteria that
much
be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to
revenue recognition policies. We earn our revenues primarily from
service-related contracts, including operations and maintenance services and
a
variety of technical assistance services. Revenue is generally recognized on
a
straight-line basis, unless evidence suggests that the revenue is earned or
obligations are fulfilled in a different pattern over the contractual term
of
the arrangement or the expected period, during which those specified services
will be performed, whichever is longer. Four basic criteria must be met before
revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
(2)
delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and
determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company
determines whether criteria (3) and (4) are met based on judgments regarding
the
nature of the fee charged for services rendered and products delivered and
the
collectibility of those fees. Advance payments are recorded on the Consolidated
Balance Sheet as deferred revenue. The Company also earns revenue from the
sale
of hardware containing software, and accounts for this revenue in accordance
with SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition in accordance with EITF 03-5. To
date, such revenues have not been significant.. Sale of books, DVD’s and printed
products are recognized as revenue upon shipment, net of an allowance for
returns. In compliance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 00-10,
“Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs,” distribution costs
charged to customers are recognized as revenue when the related product is
shipped.
The
Company’s revenue can be classified into three main categories – Subscription
Revenue, Single Event Revenue, and Production Revenue.
TWL
Corporation and Subsidiaries
(formerly
Trinity Learning Corporation)
Notes
to
Consolidated Financial Statements
June

2006
1.
Subscription revenue is approximately 60% of the Company’s total revenue and is
generated from contracts with customers who receive products or services for
a
specified time period. Revenue is recognized evenly over the term of the
contract, unless pricing is tiered (must be stated in the contract).
Subscription products include satellite subscriptions, monthly videotape
subscriptions, monthly CD-ROM subscriptions, Internet subscriptions, and
Training-On-Demand subscriptions (tape library).
2.
Single
Event revenue is approximately 30% of total revenue and involves the
distribution of products (videotapes, CD-ROM’s, etc.) to customers. Revenue
recognition is determined by delivery date, so only revenue for products that
have been delivered is recognized in the current period.
3.
Production Revenue is approximately 10% of total revenue and is generated from
live events or specialized production work performed for a customer. The revenue
is recognized upon completion of the live event or production work, and
subsequently invoiced (unless the customer requested an invoice in
advance).
Concentrations
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk,
consist principally of trade receivables. Concentrations of credit risk with
respect to trade receivables are limited due to the large number of clients
that
comprise our customer base and their dispersion across different business and
geographic areas. We estimate and maintain an allowance for potentially
uncollectible accounts and such estimates have historically been within
management’s expectations. Our cash balances, restricted cash and short-term
investments are maintained in accounts held by major banks and financial
institutions located primarily in the United States, Norway, South Africa and
Australia. No single customer accounts for revenues or receivables greater
than
10% of Company totals.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
We
consider all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months
or less to be cash equivalents.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts
payable approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these
instruments. The carrying value of notes payable approximates fair value because
negotiated terms and conditions are consistent with current market rates.
Determination of the fair value of notes payable to related parties cannot
be
estimated because of the favorable conditions given to the Company by these
parties not otherwise available from third parties. It is not practicable to
estimate the fair value of notes payable issued for acquisitions and equity
investments because they were issued at a substantial conversion premium and
contain no stated payment terms. The carrying value of equity investments
approximates fair value. We evaluate such assets on a regular basis by looking
at cash flows, market conditions and current and anticipated future performance.
In June 2006 and June 2005, we incurred an impairment charge of $0 and
$2,083,806, respectively.
Accounts
Receivable
Accounts
receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade
terms. Management regularly evaluates the need for an allowance for
uncollectible accounts by taking into consideration factors such as the type
of
client; governmental agencies or private sector; trends in actual and forecasted
credit quality of the client, including delinquency and late payment history;
and current economic conditions that may affect a client’s ability to pay.
Management has determined that allowance for bad debt will be based on a
percentage of aged receivables. Allowance for bad debt at June 30, 2006
was $595,885 of which $379,151 has been reserved for all subsidiary outstanding
receivable balances, with the exception of TWL Knowledge Group,
Inc.
Program
Inventory and other Intangible Assets
Program
inventory consists of capitalized costs incurred by TWL to develop the
programming for its various networks (Technical, Industrial, HSTN, LETN, etc).
The amounts capitalized primarily consist external costs (e.g., producers,
talent, crew) and internal production department costs. Program inventory is
amortized over the life of the program, assessed by TWL based on the history
of
the network and how long the program is expected to be aired, ranging from
2 to
5 years. The Company evaluates asset impairment for reasonableness as part
of
the monthly variance analysis review. Net amortization expense for the years
ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $2,991,189 and $915,364,
respectively.

Notes

Consolidated Financial Statements
June
30,
2006
At
June
30, 2006, the Company did not have any intangible assets with indefinite
lives.
Property
and Equipment (Restated)
Property
and equipment, net are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation of property and equipment, including the amortization
of leasehold improvements, is provided at rates based on the estimated useful
lives or lease terms, if shorter, using primarily the straight-line method.
Improvements are capitalized while maintenance and repairs are expensed as
incurred. Whenever significant events or changes occur, such as those affecting
general market conditions or pertaining to a specific industry or an asset
category, the Company reviews the property and equipment for impairment. When
such factors, events or circumstances indicate that property and equipment
should be evaluated for possible impairment, the Company used an estimate of
cash flows (undisclosed and without interest charges) over the remaining lives
of the assets to measure recoverability. If the estimated cash flows are less
than the carrying value of the asset, the loss is measured as the amount by
which the carrying value of the asset exceeds fair value. Depreciation expense
for the period ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 is $1,052,104 and $2,783,664
respectively.
Deferred
Financing Costs
Deferred
financing costs are being amortized under the straight-line method over the
terms of the related indebtedness, which approximates the effective interest
method. Deferred financing costs were $0 and $142,920 for the years ended June
30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Inventory
The
Company uses the weighted average FIFO method for inventory. The Company’s
inventory consists of saleable videotapes, CD ROM’s, and DVD’s, printed product
(supporting materials for the videotapes and CD ROM’s such as manuals, training
guides, program guides, etc.), and Calibre products (high quality inventory
such
as gun bags, police batons, etc.). In addition, inventory is divided into the
three main divisions at the Company – Industrial, Government, and
Healthcare.
Fair
Value of Common Stock (Restated)
Contingently
redeemable equity represents the value of shares of our common stock issuable
upon the conversion of notes payable in excess of the face value of these notes
issued in the acquisition of VILPAS and the acquisition of equity interest
in
each of the Riverbend and IRCA transactions. The stock arrangements are
dependent on the satisfaction of certain conditions by us, most notably the
listing of our common stock an a major stock exchange in the United States
of
America, for whom there are financial requirements for listing. The valuation
and allocation process relies on significant assumptions made by management,
in
particular, the value of the shares issued to affect the purchase prior to
the
Company having established a trading market for its stock. When it becomes
probable that redemption will occur, the Company will record changes in fair
value in the Statement of Operations. As discussed in Note 2, “Acquisitions and
Divestitures,” in October 2005 the Company divested themselves from their
operations in South Africa. As a result, contingently redeemable equity of
$3,010,000 related to this subsidiary was cancelled and posted to the statement
of stockholders’ equity.
Allocation
of Purchase Consideration in Business Combinations
The
Company accounts for its investments in its subsidiaries using the purchase
method of accounting. The excess of the consideration paid for subsidiaries
over
the fair value of acquired tangible assets less the fair value of acquired
liabilities is assigned to intangible assets and goodwill. The Company obtains
an independent third party valuation to ascertain the amount to allocate to
identifiable intangible assets, and the useful lives of those assets. The
Company amortizes identifiable intangible assets over their useful life unless
that life is determined to be indefinite. The useful life of an intangible
asset
that is being amortized is evaluated each reporting period as to whether events
and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization.
Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment on an annual basis.
The
implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating fair value to all
assets and liabilities acquired; the excess of the price paid over the amounts
assigned to assets and liabilities acquired is the implied fair value of
goodwill.

Allocation
of Purchase Consideration for Equity Investments in Associated
Companies
The
excess of the consideration paid for equity investments in associated companies
over our pro rata share of the investee’s net assets is allocated to intangibles
and goodwill similar to a purchase business combination. The Company obtains
an
independent third party valuation to ascertain the amount to allocate to
identifiable intangible assets and the useful lives of those assets. The Company
amortizes identifiable intangible assets over their useful life unless that
life
is determined to be indefinite. In each of the Riverbend and the IRCA
transactions, the Company received an option, exercisable under certain
conditions, to acquire the additional 49% of each of those companies. Using
the
Black Scholes option valuation model, a value was assigned to each of the
intangible assets associated with those options. The useful life of an
intangible asset that is being amortized is evaluated each reporting period
as
to whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period
of amortization. The value of the Equity Investments in Associated
Companies is tested for impairment on an annual basis. At June 30, 2004, based
on actual performance and forecasts for future performance, the value of the
IRCA investment after application of current year losses and amortization of
intangible assets, was written down to $0 and impairment expense of $884,963
was
recorded in the statement of operations. At June 30, 2005 the Company reassessed
the value of its investments in RMT, Vilpas and TouchVision and determined
it
was appropriate to write down its investment in these entities to $0. For more
information see Note 5 of the Footnotes.
Software
Development Costs
Software
development costs related to software that the company licenses to customers
are
charged to expense as incurred until technological feasibility is attained.
Technological feasibility is attained when the Company’s software has completed
system testing and has been determined viable for its intended use. The time
between the attainment of technological feasibility and completion of software
development has been short with immaterial amounts of development costs incurred
during this period. Accordingly, software costs have not been capitalized other
than product development costs acquired through technology business combinations
and technology purchases.
Derivative
Financial Instruments
The
Company's derivative financial instruments consist of embedded derivatives
related to the Instream note entered into in July 2005 and the Palisades note
entered into in March 2006, since the notes are not conventional convertible
debt. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires
that
the Company record the derivatives and related warrants at their fair values
as
of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent
balance sheet date.
In
addition, under the provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-19, "Accounting for
Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a
Company's Own Stock," as a result of entering into the convertible debt, the
Company is required to classify all other non-employee stock options as warrants
and derivative liabilities and mark them to market at each reporting
date.
The
Company had no beneficial conversion features during the year ended June 30,
2006. Options and warrants were valued using the Black-Sholes model. The
following assumptions were used in valuing the derivative and warrant
liabilities as of June 30,

change in fair value of these instruments will be recorded as non-operating,
non-cash income or expense at each reporting date. If the fair value of the
derivative is higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, we will record a
non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the derivative is lower
at
the subsequent balance sheet date, we will record non-operating, non-cash
income. The derivative and warrant liabilities are recorded as liabilities
in
the consolidated balance sheet.

Convertible
Debt (Restated)
The
Company records its convertible debt net of the debt discount. From time to
time, the Company has debt with conversion options that provide for a rate
of
conversion that is below market value. This feature is normally characterized
as
a beneficial conversion feature ("BCF"), which is recorded by the Company
pursuant to EITF Issue No. 98-5 ("EITF 98-05"), "Accounting for Convertible
Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable
Conversion Ratios," and EITF Issue No. 00-27, "Application of EITF Issue No.
98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments."
If
a BCF
exists, the Company records it as a debt discount. Debt discounts are amortized
to interest expense over the life of the debt on a straight-line basis, which
approximates the effective interest method. The convertible debt held by the
Company at June 30, 2006 did not contain beneficial conversion
features.
Issuance
of Shares for Non-Cash Consideration
The
Company accounts for the issuance of equity instruments to acquire goods and/or
services based on the fair value of the goods and services or the fair value
of
the equity instrument at the time of issuance, whichever is more reliably
determinable. The majority of equity instruments have been valued at the market
value of the shares on the date issued.
The
Company's accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and
vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of EITF Issue
No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than
Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services"
and
EITF Issue No. 00-18, "Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving
Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees." The measurement date for
the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier
of
(i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor
is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor's performance
is
complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair
value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting
agreement. In accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-18, an asset acquired in
exchange for the issuance of fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments
should not be presented or classified as an offset to equity on the grantor's
balance sheet once the equity instrument is granted for accounting
purposes.
Earnings
(Loss) per Share (Restated)
Basic
earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss)
available for common stockholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share
(“DEPS”) is computed giving effect to all potential dilutive shares including
shares held in escrow, common stock issuable upon the conversion of notes
payable or the exercise of stock options and warrants. DEPS is computed by
dividing net income (loss) available for common stockholders by the
weighted-average common shares and dilutive potential common shares that were
outstanding during the period. Shares from release of escrow shares, the
conversion of notes payable or the exercise of options and warrants of
10,628,000 and 37,217,684, respectively, were not included in the computation
of
DEPS, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive for the fiscal
year
ended June 30, 2006 and fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.
Basic
and
diluted net loss per common share for the fiscal periods ended June 30, 2006
