Summary
of Accounting Policies
Basis
of presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as at September
30,
2007, and the consolidated condensed statements of operations and cash flows
for
the periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2007, include the accounts of Creative
Vistas, Inc. (“CVAS”), Creative Vistas Acquisition Corp. (“AC Acquisition”), AC
Technical Systems Ltd. (“AC Technical”), Cancable Holding (“Cancable Holding”),
Cancable Inc., Iview Holding Corp. (“Iview Holding”), and Iview Digital
Solutions Inc. (“Iview DSI”). Intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, these condensed
consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results
for and as of the periods shown. The accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. However, certain information or
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed
or
omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results expected for 2007 or for any future period. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year
ended December 31, 2006, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Liquidity
and going concern
Our
consolidated condensed financial statements were prepared using accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to
a
going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation
of
liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred a loss of $72,864
for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and have an accumulated deficit
of
$11,936,526
at
September 30, 2007.
We
have
outstanding term loans aggregating $16,075,157, together with common stock
options and warrants, held by Laurus. We do not currently have the ability
to
repay the notes in the event of a demand by the holder. Furthermore, we granted
a security interest to Laurus in substantially all of our assets and,
accordingly, in the event of any default under our agreements with Laurus,
they
could conceivably attempt to foreclose on our assets, which could cause us
to
terminate our operations.
Over
the
next twelve months the Company believes that its existing capital will be
sufficient to sustain its operations. Management plans to seek additional
capital in the future to fund operations, growth and expansion through
additional equity, debt financing or credit facilities. The Company has had
early stage discussions with investors about potential investment in the Company
at a future date. No assurance can be made that such financing would be
available, and if available it may take either the form of debt or equity.
In
either case, the financing could have a negative impact on our financial
condition and our shareholders. The Company has introduced cost cutting
initiatives within the Administration, Project and Selling departments to
improve efficiency within the Company and also improve cash flow. The Company
has also increased its rates for service provided by AC Technical by 20 percent
to improve gross margins. This is in line with our competitors. The Company
also
expects to see the benefits of its research and development efforts within
the
next 12 months as it starts to introduce its own line of customized products
to
the industry. These products and technologies are expected to improve gross
margins. The Company believes that it will be eligible for research and
development tax credits at year end for its research and development efforts
during the year and these are additional sources of cash flow for the Company.
The Company is also negotiating longer credit terms with its suppliers from
45
days to 60 to 75 days. For all the reasons mentioned above, we believe that
we
have adequate short term borrowing capability and that we will be able to
sustain our operations and continue as a going concern for a reasonable period
of time although there can be no assurance of this.
The
financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible
future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts
and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability
of
the Company to continue as a going concern.
Earnings
(loss) per share
The
Company applies Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings
Per Share (FAS 128). Basic loss per share (“LPS”) is computed using the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted LPS
is
computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive potential
common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares
consist of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants
using the treasury stock method. An adjustment to earnings per share calculation
includes reversing the changes in derivative instruments.
Reclassifications
Certain
amounts in the financial statements at September 30, 2006 have been reclassified
to conform to the current year presentation.
2.

Financing Costs, Net

financing costs, net are associated with the Company’s term notes from Laurus
Master Fund, Ltd., a Cayman Islands company. For the period ended September
30,

Options
On
June
30, 2006, the Company granted 2,317,000 options to purchase a maximum of
2,317,000 shares of common stock to employees. The options allow the holders
to
buy the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.63 per share and expire on June
30, 2011.
The
Company’s Stock Option Plan is intended to provide incentives for key employees,
directors, consultants and other individuals providing services to the Company
by encouraging their ownership of the common stock of the Company and to aid
the
Company in retaining such key employees, directors, consultants and other
individuals upon whose efforts the Company’s success and future growth depends
and in attracting other such employees, directors, consultants and
individuals.
The
Plan
is administered by the Board of Directors, or its Compensation Committee. Under
the Plan, options on a total of 4,000,000 shares of common stock may be issued.
Shares of common stock covered by options which have terminated or expired
prior
to exercise are available for further options under the Plan. The maximum
aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan as
“incentive stock options” is 3,500,000 shares. No options may be granted under
the Plan after June 30, 2011; provided, however, that the Board of Directors
may
at any time prior to that date amends the Plan.
Options
under the Plan may be granted to key employees of the Company, including
officers or directors of the Company, and to consultants and other individuals
providing services to the Company. Options may be granted to eligible
individuals whether or not they hold or have held options previously granted
under the Plan or otherwise granted or assumed by the Company. In selecting
individuals for options, the Committee may take into consideration any factors
it may deem relevant, including its estimate of the individual’s present and
potential contributions to the success of the Company.
The
Committee may, in its discretion, prescribe the terms and conditions of the
options to be granted under the Plan, which terms and conditions need not be
the
same in each case, subject to the following:
a.
Option
Price. The price at which each share of common stock covered by an option
granted under the Plan may be purchased may not be less than the market value
per share of the common stock on the date of grant of the option. The date
of
the grant of an option shall be the date specified by the Committee in its
grant
of the option, which date will normally be the date the Committee determines
to
make such grant.
b.
Option
Period. The period for exercise of an option shall in no event be more than
five
years from the date of grant. Options may, in the discretion of the Committee,
be made exercisable in installments during the option period.
c.
Exercise
of Options. For the purpose of assisting an Optionee to exercise an option,
the
Company may make loans to the Optionee or guarantee loans made by third parties
to the Optionee, on such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors may
authorize. In no event shall any option be exercisable more than five years
from
the date of grant thereof.
d.
Lock-Up
Period. Without the consent of the Company, an Optionee may not sell more than
fifty percent of the shares issued under the Plan for a period of two years
from
the date that the Optionee exercises the option. The Committee may impose such
other terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, on
the
grant or exercise of options, as it deems advisable.
The
fair
value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option valuation model, using the assumptions noted in the
following table. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility
of
the Company’s stock, and other factors. The Company uses historical data to
estimate employee termination within the valuation model. Because the Company
has not previously granted options to employees, for purposes of the valuation
model, the Company has assumed that the life of the options will be equal to
one-half of the combined vesting period and contractual life (i.e., that
employees will exercise the options at the midpoint between the vesting and
expiry date of the options). The risk-free rates used to value the options
are
based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of
grant.
At
September 30, 2007 options to purchase 2,313,000 shares of common stock were
outstanding. These options vest ratably in annual installments, over the four
year period from the date of grant. As of September 30, 2007, there was $444,435
of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based
compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to
be
recognized over the four year vesting period. 579,250 options were vested as
of
September 30, 2007. The cost recognized for the period end September 30, 2007
was $158,825 which was recorded as general and administration
expenses.
In
valuing the options issued on June 30, 2006 the following assumptions were
used

Warrants
We
use
the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value warrants issued to
non-employees, based on the market price of our common stock at the time the
warrants are issued. All outstanding warrants may be exercised by the holder
at
any time. During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, in connection with financing
arrangements, the Company issued warrants to purchase 108,000 shares of common
stock. The fair value of the warrants of $39,519 was measured using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: risk free
interest rate of 4.25%, expected dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 45%, share
price of $0.90 and expected life of 4 years. During the quarter ended September
30, 2007, in connection with financing arrangements, the Company issued warrants
to purchase 324,000 shares of common stock. The fair value of the warrants
of
$206,940 was measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the
following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 4.54 to 4.93%, expected
dividend yield of 0%, volatility of 45%, share price of $1.15 to $2.28 and
expected life of 4 years. For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, in
connection with financing arrangements, the Company issued warrants to purchase
324,000 shares of common stock. The fair value of the warrants of $324,071
was
measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following
assumptions: risk free interest rate of 4.54 to 4.93%, expected dividend yield
of 0%, volatility of 45%, share price of $1.15 to $2.28 and expected life of
4
years.

Management's
Discussion And Analysis or Plan of Operation
(Unaudited)
The
following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related
notes thereto. The following discussion contains certain forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ
materially from those discussed therein. Factors that could cause or contribute
to such differences include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties
related to the need for additional funds, the rapid growth of the operations
and
our ability to operate profitably a number of new projects. Except as required
by law, we do not intend to publicly release the results of any revisions to
those forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect any future events
or circumstances.
Results
of Operations
Comparison
of Three Months Period Ended September 30, 2007
to
Period Ended September 30, 2006
For
purposes of this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation”, we
compared the first three month period ended September 30, 2007, to the
comparable period in 2006.
Sales
:
Sales
for the three months period ended 2007 increased 22.3% to $11,153,000
substantially from $9,120,734 for the three months period ended 2006. The
increase in revenue was mainly due to the increase in service revenue of
Cancable Segment to $8,968,200 for the three months period ended 2007 from
$7,372,800 for the same period in 2006.
(a)
Cancable Segment - The Company acquired Cancable through its wholly owned
subsidiary on January 1, 2006. It is incorporated under the laws of Ontario
and
its principal business activity is the provisioning the deployment and servicing
of broadband technologies in both residential and commercial markets. The
Cancable service offering, network deployment, IT integration, and support
services, enable the cable television and telecommunications industries to
deliver a high quality broadband experience to their customers. Total revenue
for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was $8,968,200 compared to $7,372,800
in
the same period of fiscal 2006. Rogers Cable Inc. is Cancable’s largest customer
and the revenue from this customer for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 as
approximately $6,860,000 or 76.5% of its total revenue compared to $5,807,400
or
78.8% of its total revenue for the same period in fiscal 2006. (b) AC Technical
segment - Contract revenue increased to $1,681,100 for the second quarter or
15.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $1,262,400
in
the same period of fiscal 2006. The increase was mainly due to an increase
in
the number of subcontracts for the provision of services to government
contracts. Service revenue generated increased 19.0% to $458,900 for the third
quarter of fiscal 2007 from $385,500 for the same period of fiscal 2006. Service
revenue primarily represents the cumulative effect of the growth in contracts
and number of customers over the past few years. We have experienced a
significant increase in the number of inquiries for systems from the government
and retail sector. This increased interest in security products and services
may
result in our achieving increased revenues in future periods if we are
successful in attracting new customers or obtaining additional projects from
existing customers. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to
attract new customers.
Cost
of Goods Sold
:
Cost of
goods sold as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended September
30,
2007 was $7,895,900 or 70.8% of revenues compared to $6,028,200 or 66.1% of
revenues for the three months period ended September 30, 2006. (a) Cancable
segment - Cost of sales of this segment was $6,556,900 for the three months
period ended September 30, 2007, which is comprised principally of labor
expenses $5,061,100, vehicle expenses $548,600 and material cost $739,200.

material cost was $788,900 or 36.9% of the AC Technical revenue for the three
months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $485,400 or 28.4% of revenues in
the
same period of fiscal 2006.
The
increase in balance was mainly due to the increase in revenue. On the other
hand, the labor and subcontractor cost decreased to $504,500 or 23.6% of AC
Technical revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and $312,000
or
18.3% of AC Technical revenues for fiscal 2006. The increase in labor and
subcontractor cost was mainly due to the increase in revenue.

months ended September 30, 2007 from $973,200 for the same period of fiscal
2006. Service revenue primarily represents the cumulative effect of the growth
in contracts and number of customers over the past few years. We have
experienced a significant increase in the number of inquiries for systems from
the government and retail sector. This increased interest in security products
and services may result in our achieving increased revenues in future periods
if
we are successful in attracting new customers or obtaining additional projects
from existing customers. There is no assurance that the Company will be able
to
attract new customers.

additional borrowings from Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. from the refinancing
transaction in 2006. The current year balance was mainly represents the
repayment of capital leases and term notes in the amount of $1,703,600.
Our
capital requirements have grown since our inception with the growth of our
operations and staffing. We expect our capital requirements to continue to
increase in the future as we seek to expand our operations. On September 30,
2004, we obtained additional funding through a series of agreements entered
with
Laurus. In 2006, the Company through its wholly owned subsidiary
acquired
all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock and any other equity
interests of Cancable Inc. Simultaneously, Cancable entered into a series of
agreements with Laurus whereby Cancable issued to Laurus a secured term note
(the “Cancable Note”) in the amount of $6,865,000. Also, the Company has
completed the refinancing transaction in February 2006;
the
Company issued to Laurus a secured term note (the “Company Note”) in the amount
of $8,250,000, Iview DSI issued to Laurus a secured term note (the “Iview Note”)
in the amount of $2,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of this refinancing
transaction, the Company paid off the entire outstanding principal amount and
all obligations due to Laurus under the Secured Convertible Term Note dated
September 30, 2004, the Secured Convertible Minimum Borrowing Note dated
September 30, 2004 and the Secured Revolving Note dated September 30, 2004
(collectively, the “2004 Notes”) and such 2004 Notes were subsequently
cancelled.
Over
the
next twelve months we believe that our existing capital will be sufficient
to
sustain our operations. Management plans to seek additional capital in the
future to fund operations, growth and expansion through additional equity,
debt
financing or credit facilities. We have had early stage discussions with
investors about potential investment in our firm at a future date. No assurance
can be made that such financing would be available, and if available it may
take
either the form of debt or equity. In either case, the financing could have
a
negative impact on our financial condition and our shareholders.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 155 -
“Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB
Statements No. 133 and 140.”
This
Statement amends FASB Statements No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities, and No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. This Statement resolves
issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of
Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial
Assets.”
This
Statement:
a.
|
Permits
fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that
contains
an embedded derivative that otherwise would require
bifurcation.
|
b.
|
Clarifies
which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject
to
the requirements of Statement 133.
|
c.
|
Establishes
a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets
to
identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are
hybrid
financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring
bifurcation.
|
d.
|
Clarifies
that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are
not
embedded derivatives.
|
e.
|
Amends
Statement 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose
entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains
to a
beneficial interest other than another derivative financial
instrument.
|
This
Statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after
the beginning of our first fiscal year that begins after September 15,
2006.
The
fair
value election provided for in paragraph 4(c) of this Statement may also be
applied upon adoption of this Statement for hybrid financial instruments that
had been bifurcated under paragraph 12 of Statement 133 prior to the adoption
of
this Statement. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of our fiscal
year, provided we have not yet issued financial statements, including financial
statements for any interim period, for that fiscal year. Provisions of this
Statement may be applied to instruments that we hold at the date of adoption
on
an instrument-by-instrument basis.
The
Company is currently reviewing the effects of adoption of this statement but
it
is not expected to have a material impact on our financial
statements.
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 156 -
“Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No.
140.”
This
Statement amends FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the
accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities.
This Statement:
1.
Requires
an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it
undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a
servicing contract in certain situations.
2.
Requires
all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be
initially measured at fair value, if practicable.
3.
Permits
an entity to choose either the amortization method or the fair value measurement
method for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing
liabilities.
4.
At
its
initial adoption, permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale
securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights,
without calling into question the treatment of other available-for-sale
securities under Statement 115, provided that the available-for-sale securities
are identified in some manner as offsetting the entity’s exposure to changes in
fair value of servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a service elects
to
subsequently measure at fair value.
5.
Requires
separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently
measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional
disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing
liabilities.
Adoption
of this Statement is required as of the beginning of the first fiscal year
that
begins after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected
to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This
standard establishes a standard definition for fair value, establishes a
framework under generally accepted accounting principles for measuring fair
value and expands disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This
standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007.
Adoption
of this statement is not expected to have any material effect on our financial
position or results of operations
.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard No. 158,
“Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement
Plans, an amendment of FASB Statement Nos. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R
)
,”
or
FAS
158. This Statement requires an employer that is a business entity and sponsors
one or more single-employer defined benefit plans to (a) recognize the funded
status of a benefit plan—measured as the difference between plan assets at fair
value (with limited exceptions) and the benefit obligation—in its statement of
financial position; (b) recognize, as a component of other comprehensive income,
net of tax, the gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise
during the period but are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit
cost pursuant to FAS 87,
Employers’
Accounting for Pensions
,
or FAS
106,
Employers’
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
;
(c)
measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of the
employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position (with limited
exceptions); and (d) disclose in the notes to financial statements additional
information about certain effects on net periodic benefit cost for the next
fiscal year that arise from delayed recognition of the gains or losses, prior
service costs or credits, and transition assets or obligations. An employer
with
publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded
status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required
disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006.
This statement is not expected to have a significant effect on our financial
statements.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued
Financial
Accounting Standard No. 159
The
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 115

SAB
108 -
‘Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying
Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements’
In
September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108),
Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying
Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. SAB 108 provides guidance
on
the consideration of the effects of prior year unadjusted errors in quantifying
current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment.
Adoption
of this statement is not expected to have any material effect on our financial
position or results of operations
.
FIN
48 -
‘Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes’
In
June
2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, an interpretation of SFAS No. 109. FIN 48
prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure,
present and disclose uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken
on a
tax return. Under FIN 48, we shall initially recognize tax positions in the
financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be
sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. We shall initially and
subsequently measure such tax positions as the largest amount of tax benefit
that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement
with
the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and all relevant
facts. FIN 48 also revises disclosure requirements to include an annual tabular
roll-forward of unrecognized tax benefits. We will adopt this interpretation
as
required in 2007 and will apply its provisions to all tax positions upon initial
adoption with any cumulative effect adjustment recognized as an adjustment
to
retained earnings.
Adoption
of this statement is not expected to have any material effect on our financial
position or results of operations.
EITF
00-19-2, "Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements".
In
December 2006, the FASB issued Staff Position FSP EITF 00-19-2, "Accounting
for
Registration Payment Arrangements". This statement is effective for existing
registration payment arrangements as of January 1, 2007, with earlier
application permitted in previously-unissued financial statements. As discussed
in Note 8 and as permitted by the FSP, we adopted the provisions of this FSP
in
our fourth quarter of 2006, resulting in re-classification of certain of our
outstanding warrants from derivative instrument liabilities to
equity.

DISCUSSION
OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Critical
accounting estimates are those that management deems to be most important to
the
portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, and that require
management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, due to the need to
make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.
We
have identified six critical accounting estimates: accounts receivable
allowances, goodwill, revenue, inventory, accounting for income taxes and
financial instruments. See our Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
2006,
for a discussion of our critical accounting estimates.

the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and
forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosures.
We
have
carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation
of
the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the des
ign
and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon their evaluation
and subject to the foregoing
,
the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that such controls
and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this
report, in all material respects, to ensure that required information will
be
disclosed on a timely basis in our reports filed under the Exchange
Act.
In
designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management
recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control
objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply their judgment
in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of
possible
controls and procedures.
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during the quarter ended September 30, 2006, that have materially affected,
or
are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial
reporting.
