NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended September 30, 2009


 
1.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company has two operations, the first is providing handling, storage and transportation of overseas containers for international shipping lines as well as domestic retailers through its 50.1% owned subsidiary Conforce 1 Container Terminals Inc.  The second, is the development and testing of a polymer based composite shipping container flooring product trademarked under the name EKO-FLOR through its 100% owned subsidiary Conforce Containers Corporation.  The composite flooring product has been designed to provide an environmentally friendly product to increase container versatility while reducing shipping costs.

The Company was incorporated on May 18, 2004 in the state of Delaware as Now Marketing Corp. and was renamed on May 25, 2005 to Conforce International Inc.

 
2.
GOING CONCERN

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") applicable to a 'going concern', which assume that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. For the six months ended September 30, 2009 the Company had net cash outflows from operations of $129,333 and will require additional funding which, if not raised, may result in the curtailment of activities. The Company has incurred a net loss of $273,411 for the six months ended September 30, 2009 and has an accumulated deficit of $943,227 as at September 30, 2009. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern depends on its ability to generate positive cash flow from operations or secure additional debt or equity financing.

Management regularly reviews and considers the current and forecast activities of the Company in order to satisfy itself as to the viability of operations. These ongoing reviews include consideration of current orders and future business opportunities, current development and production activities, customer and supplier exposure and forecast cash requirements and balances. Based on these evaluations management concluded that the Company is able to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months.

There can be no assurances that the Company's activities will be successful or sufficient and as a result there is doubt regarding the "going concern" assumption and, accordingly, the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the "going concern" assumption were not appropriate. If the "going concern" assumption were not appropriate for these consolidated financial statements, then adjustments to the carrying values of the assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses and the balance sheet classifications, which could be material, would be necessary.

 
3.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
 
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and are presented in US dollars, unless otherwise noted. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying financial information reflects all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of results for interim periods. Operating results for the six months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010. The accounting policies used in the preparation of these interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes to the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2009.   These interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies as the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2009, except for the adoption of the FAS 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51” which, according to the standard, has been adopted prospectively.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51 ", ("FAS No. 160"). FAS No. 160 requires (i) that non-controlling (minority) interests be reported as a component of shareholders' equity, (ii) that net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest be separately identified in the consolidated statement of operations, (iii) that changes in a parent's ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling interest be accounted for as equity transactions, (iv) that any retained non-controlling equity investment upon the deconsolidation of a subsidiary be initially measured at fair value, and (v) that sufficient disclosures are provided that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. FAS No. 160 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2008 and should be applied prospectively. The presentation and disclosure requirements of the statement shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. We adopted FAS No. 160 on April 1, 2009.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations,” which replaces SFAS No 141. The standard retains the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions, but requires a number of changes, including changes in the way assets and liabilities are recognized in the purchase accounting. It also changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, requires the capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value, and requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. SFAS No. 141R is effective for the Corporation beginning April 1, 2009 and will apply prospectively to business combinations completed on or after that date.
 
In April 2008, the FASB issued guidance that amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this standard did not have material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance concerning interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments requiring publicly traded companies to provide disclosure about the fair value of financial instruments whenever interim summarized financial information is reported. Previously, disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments were only required on an annual basis. Disclosure shall include the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments and shall describe changes in method(s) and significant assumptions, if any, during the period. This guidance was effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, and, as such, the Company has adopted this disclosure. See note 9.
 
In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance regarding the disclosure of subsequent events. This guidance made no changes to current accounting but added required disclosures regarding the date through which the Company has evaluated subsequent events and whether that evaluation date is the date of financial statement issuance or the date the financial statements were available to be issued. This guidance was effective, and was adopted by the Company, for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.
 
In June 2009, the FASB approved the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP to be launched on July 1, 2009. The codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. All existing accounting standard documents will be superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the Codification will be considered not authoritative. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Adoption by the Company is not expected to lead to any material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operation or cash flows.

TERM LOAN
 
In November 2008, the company entered into a loan agreement in the amount of CAD $ 250,000 under the Canada Small Business Financing Act for the purchase of machinery and equipment to be used in the manufacturing of the composite flooring.  The loan is secured with a first charge on the equipment purchased and a CAD $62,500 personal guarantee provided by the CEO.

The term of the loan is ten years with interest at a floating rate of prime + 3%.  The minimum blended loan and re- payments for the next 5 years and thereafter, assuming, the floating interest rate remains constant at 5.25% are as follows:

Due to shareholder
  $ 621,399     $ 527,957  
Due to related party
    130,755       39,676  
 
    752,154       567,633  
Less: discount to fair value
    (133,255 )     (122,125 )
    $ 618,899     $ 445,508  

The amounts due to shareholder and amounts due to related party are unsecured, non-interest bearing with no specific terms of repayment.  The amounts due to related parties arise from cash advances from the shareholder and other related parties made to the Company for the purchase of machinery and equipment, primarily relating to the development of the composite flooring product and to fund ongoing operating activities.

The loans have been advanced at different increments depending on the needs of the Company and repayment is not expected to occur until 2012.  Given the long term nature of these loans, each time an amount is advanced by a related party, a fair value calculation has been recorded with the discount on the loan being charged to contributed surplus.   The discount to fair value assumes repayment will be made on March 31, 2012 with imputed interest charged at rates between 6.25% and 10%.   Imputed interest for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2009 was $12,021 (2008: $ 7,655) and $22,427 (2008:  $ 14,502) respectively.

The Company rents three pieces of equipment on a month to month basis from a company owned by a relative of the CEO.  Rent expense for the three and six month periods ending September 30, 2009 was $18,759 (2008: $5,790) and $35,003 (2008: $5,790) respectively.  The rental rate paid by the Company to the related party is felt by management to be at market rates.

The CEO is the 49.9 % noncontrolling shareholder of Conforce 1 Container Terminals, Inc.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt instruments including related party loans payable. The carrying values of financial instruments, other than debt instruments, are representative of their fair values due to their short-term maturities. The carrying values of the Company’s long-term debt instruments excluding related party loans are considered to approximate their fair values because the interest rates of these instruments are variable or comparable to current rates offered to the Company.
 
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company has determined that there were no assets or liabilities that fall into the “Level 1” category, which values assets at the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company has determined that there were no assets or liabilities that fall into the “Level 2” category, which values assets and liabilities from observable inputs other than quoted market prices. The Company’s related party loans fall into “Level 3” category, which values assets and liabilities from inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources.  The fair value of the Company’s related party loans have been determined by discounting the loans based on inputs from the Company’s other debt instruments and expensing the imputed interest over a range of periods up to fiscal 2012.  The fair value of the Company’s related party loans totalled $618,899 as of September 30, 2009 and $445,508 as of March 31, 2009.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Safe Harbor Act Disclaimer for Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this document may contain words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” "expects," "intends," “may,” “projects,” “plans,” “targets” and other similar language and are considered forward-looking statements. These statements are based on management’s current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the success of its container terminal operations, its newly developed container and trailer flooring products, as well as certain other composite based flooring products in various stages of development. These forward-looking statements are subject to important assumptions, risks and uncertainties which are difficult to predict and therefore the actual results may be materially different from those discussed.

PLAN OF OPERATIONS
 
In calendar 2010, the Company’s primary focus will be on the commercialization of EKO-FLOR. As a result of projected orders of cs-4 and xts and ms-1 panels, the reliance on revenues from the container terminal will decrease. Accordingly, the Company intends to pursue opportunities as they relate to the aforementioned three EKO-FLOR products (as more fully described below). While the container terminal is expected to continue to provide revenues and moderate earnings, if any at all, growth in the terminal operations is not expected.  Furthermore, should volume commitments for its EKO-FLOR products be secured, the Company will consider its options as they relate to the divestiture of the container operations. Management believes that the terminal operations, although once relevant, may detract from the Company’s focus on its projected EKO-FLOR manufacturing initiatives. As a result of the global economic downturn, year to date terminal revenue, was lower by 52% for the six month period ended September 30, 2009 to $524,731 compared with $1,100,819 for the same period in 2008.

Expansion for Conforce is expected to come primarily from sales of EKO-FLOR cs-4 and xts in calendar 2010 and 2011, where the Company believes that notwithstanding the recent global economic slowdown, significant growth potential exists with the introduction of composite flooring to the transportation industry. Should the container industry in 2011 collectively produce one half of its 2007 new build volume of 3.9 million twenty foot equivalent containers (TEU), the Company would still experience significant growth assuming it is able to secure projected orders of approximately 60,000 TEU or approximately 3% of total new build volume. In advance of production orders for cs-4, the Company projects that it will receive orders for xts trailer panels in second quarter of calendar 2010 for production commencing in or around October 2010. Notwithstanding management’s projections and expectations, there are no assurances that these orders will be received.
 
EKO-FLOR cs-4:     The Company expects that trials with two major shipping lines will be completed in or around September 2010. Once  trials are completed and depending on the outcome of such trials, the Company intends to secure EKO-FLOR cs-4 orders for production commencing in or around April 2011. Provided that a combination of volume commitments, letters of intent, supply agreements or other similar written expressions of interest are secured and that such commitments are in-line with Conforce expectations of approximately 60,000 TEU for year one production, then the Company will begin the process of formalizing the details of a financial offering to adequately capitalize the establishment of a company owned facility in Asia. The Company projects that the amount required will be between $8 and $10 million dollars.  Currently, there is no such financing in place, nor are there any preliminary or final term sheets or agreements in place in support of such financing.  At such time as the Company receives volume indications and commitments as described above, then various funding options such as private placements, public offerings, debt financings, or a combination thereof, will be considered. However, there are no guarantees that the Company will be able to obtain such funding under reasonable terms, if at all.
 
EKO-FLOR ms-1:  EKO-FLOR ms-1 is a variation of the cs-4 container flooring panel designed for use as load bearing shelving panels in special application military containers.   Although the initial one-year term of the contract in connection with the sale of ms-1 to the Company’s US military sub-contractor ended in January 2010, Conforce expects that should the US Military require additional product, the Company would receive ms-1 orders under similar terms and conditions as stated in the original agreement between Conforce and its military sub-contractor.

EKO-FLOR xts:  Based on customer evaluations of EKO-FLOR xts, a modified variation of the cs-4 container panel, the Company expects to receive, in the near term, a combination of volume commitments, letters of intent, supply agreements or other similar written expressions of interest. As such, the Company is reviewing its options as they relate to the establishment of a manufacturing facility in the United States. The Company projects that the amount required will be between $4 and $5 million dollars. Currently, there is no such financing in place, nor are there any preliminary or final term sheets or agreements in place in support of such financing.  As per the process described in the cs-4 section above, the Company, at such time as it receives volume indications and commitments as described above, will consider various funding options such as private placements, public offerings, debt financings, or a combination thereof. However, there are no guarantees that the Company will be able to obtain such funding under reasonable terms, if at all. 

 
14

 

The Company intends to apply for listing on the OTC Bulletin Board at such time as its Forms 10 and 211 reach the no-comment stage by the appropriate regulatory agencies, however, there is no guarantee that the Company’s application for listing will be accepted.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company intends to raise, either through a Public Offering of its securities, a Private Placement, the use of Debt financing instruments, or combination thereof, the capital required for the establishment and operation of multi-line EKO-FLOR manufacturing facilities in both Asia and the United States, which combined, are currently estimated to be approximately $19 million.  The company will make the decision in terms of the establishment of these production facilities at such time as volume commitments, letters of intent, supply agreements or other similar written expressions of interest are secured with shipping lines, leasing companies, trailer owners / operators, and container and trailer manufacturers.

The Company does not currently have any outstanding lines or letters of credit.  Conforce does have a business development loan through a government sponsored program in the amount of $250,000 payable over 10 years (due January 2019).  The loan was made through the small business development loan program (SBL) and is limited in its use to the purchases of equipment.  Funds from the loan have been used to finance a portion of the production equipment in the Company’s new development and production facility in Concord, Ontario and such equipment has been used as collateral for the loan.  Under the rules governing SBL’s, in the event the Company defaults on the loan, the Company is only responsible for repayment of an amount equal to 25% of the total funds advanced, of which 10% has already been provided by the Company by way of down payment on the loan.

The Company does not have any agreements in place to finance its operations for the next 12 months, although it is attempting to secure funds, in the amount of approximately $500,000, by way of non-interest bearing, non-callable loans from certain minority founding shareholders. It is anticipated that these shareholders will attempt to raise capital for the aforementioned related party loans through the sale of a portion of their Conforce common stock holdings by way of private transactions with accredited investors.  Proceeds from the sale will be loaned to Conforce, in whole or in part, net of applicable taxes and fees if applicable, at the sole discretion of such minority founding shareholders. Proceeds from these transactions will be used to fund any and all costs associated with the sale, production and development of EKO-FLOR products.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
FOR THE THREE MONTH INTERIM PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 COMPARED WITH THE THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 20, 2008.

For the three months ended September 30, 2009 the Company had gross revenues of $553,338 compared with gross revenues of $478,787 for the three months ended September 30, 2008.    The $74,551 increase in revenues was a result of $287,636 in sales of composite products, offset with a decline of $213,085 in container servicing revenue.   Composite product revenue was generated from the partial fulfillment of an order for EKO-FLOR ms-1 military shelving.  Container service revenue decreased due to the global downturn during the period and the resultant decrease in demand for transportation and container handling services.


For the three months ended September 30, 2009, cost of revenues was $389,226 compared with $250,060 for the three months ended September 30, 2008.  The increased cost of revenues is attributable to the manufacturing of the EKO-FLOR ms-1 composite product which was entirely outsourced to a contract manufacturer.   The cost of container services revenues was $128,096 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with $250,060 for the same period in 2008.  This decline is attributable to the decline in revenues.  Gross margins for container services were 51.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with 47.8% in the same period in 2008.

 
15

 

General and administrative expenses consist of labour and salaries, rent, professional fees, utilities and office supplies.  General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $132,098 compared with $121,969 for the three months ended September 30, 2008.  The increase in general and administrative cost is primarily attributable to additional rent and costs associated with the promotion and administration of the EKO-FLOR products.  This additional costs was offset with reduced labour costs required for the container services business.

Research and development costs consist of materials, supplies and consultants for the development of the EKO-FLOR product.  Research and development costs for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was nil compared with $18,136 for the three months ended September 30, 2008.  The decrease in research and development is due to the efforts and resources directed to the manufacturing and control of the manufacturing for the first commercial production of the EKO-FLOR ms-1.

Interest on the term loan is the interest applicable to the Small Business loan entered into during January 2009.  Interest is charged at a rate of prime + 3%.

Stock based compensation consists of common shares issued to senior employees involved in the EKO-FLOR operation, either as compensation in lieu of cash or in addition to the cash compensation under employment agreements.  The common shares issued under these arrangements have been made available by a founding shareholder and are not additional share issuances.  Stock based compensation for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $32,255 compared with nil for the three months ended September 30, 2008.

The related party loans payable are unsecured and interest free and have a fair value calculated using an imputed interest rate of between 6.25% and 10% depending on the timing of the advance.  The imputed interest rate is calculated at Prime + 4%.  Interest on related party loans payable was $12,021 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with $7,655 for the three months ended September 30, 2008.  The increase in interest on related party loans is a result of the increase in shareholder loans between the two respective reporting periods and the imputed interest.

FOR THE SIX MONTH INTERIM PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 COMPARED WITH THE SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 20, 2008.

For the six months ended September 30, 2009 the Company had gross revenues of $1,106,380 compared with gross revenues of $1,100,819 for the six months ended September 30, 2008.    The slight increase of $5,561 is a result of the $581,649 in sales of composite products, offset with a decline of $576,088 in container servicing revenue.   Composite product revenue was generated from the partial fulfillment of an order for EKO-FLOR ms-1 military shelving.  Container service revenue decreased due to the global downturn during the period and the resultant decrease in demand for transportation and container handling services.

For the six months ended September 30, 2009, cost of revenues was $837,610 compared with $565,960 for the six months ended September 30, 2008.  The increased cost of revenues is attributable to the manufacturing of the EKO-FLOR ms-1 composite product which was entirely outsourced to a contract manufacturer.   The cost of container services revenues was $240,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2009 compared with $565,960 for the same period in 2008.  This decline is attributable to the decline in revenues.  Gross margins for container services were 54.3% for the six months ended September 30, 2009 compared with 48.6% in the same period in 2008.  Gross margins for the EKO-FLOR products was negative 2.7% due to this being the first commercial production and entirely outsourced.
 
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2009 were $287,235 compared with $440,417 for the six months ended September 30, 2008.  The decrease in general and administrative cost is primarily attributable to the decline container services businesses.  Specifically labour costs decreased substantially as a result of adjusting to the reduced volume.

 
16

 

Research and development costs for the six months ended September 30, 2009 was nil compared with $32,422 for the six months ended September 30, 2008.  The decrease in research and development costs is due to the efforts and resources directed to the manufacturing and control of the manufacturing for the first commercial production of the EKO-FLOR ms-1.

Stock based compensation for the six months ended September 30, 2009 was $62,585 compared with nil for the three months ended September 30, 2008. This increase in stock based compensation is attributable to the granting of common stock by a founding shareholder to senior individuals responsible for the development and sales of the EKO-FLOR composite products.

Interest on related party loans payable was $22,427 for the six months ended September 30, 2009 compared with $14,502 for the six months ended September 30, 2008.  The increase in interest on related party loans is a result of additional advances from shareholders of $79,621.
 
 
  OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
 
The Company has not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future affect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources and would be considered material to investors.

LIABILITIES

The Company had accounts payable of $300,752 at September 30, 2009 compared with $400,016 for the year ended March 31, 2009, a decrease of $99,264.  This is primarily attributable to the drawing down of materials purchased for the EKO-FLOR manufacturing that remained unpaid as at March 31, 2009 and the timing of invoices for manufacturing runs for the EKO-FLOR production..

At September 30, 2009, the Company has related party loans payable to Marino Kulas, CEO of $621,399 and other related parties in the amount of $130,755 for a total of $752,152 compared with $567,633 for the year ended March 31, 2009.   The related party loans payable are interest free with no fixed terms of repayment and are not expected to be repaid until 2012. These loans have been advanced in various increments depending on the needs of the Company.  Given the long term nature of these loans, each time an amount is advanced by a related party, a fair value calculation has been recorded with the discount on the loan being charged to contributed surplus.   The discount to fair value assumes repayment will be made on March 31, 2012 with imputed interest charged at rates between 6.25% and 10% and the imputed interest for the six months ended September 30, 2009 was $22,427 compared with $14,502 for the same period in 2008.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not applicable as Conforce is a smaller reporting company.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

As of the end of the reporting period covered by this report, September 30, 2009, our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(e).

The Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation, that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of the material weakness in internal control discussed below.
 
Identification of a Material Weakness
 
Management has identified a lack of accounting knowledge from the service providers contracted to perform various accounting duties or offer guidance and direction in the proper accounting and disclosure of transactions.  This lack of knowledge resulted in a number of errors in the previously reported financial statements.   Specific areas of concern that were noted include the incorrect recording of transactions, a lack of timely reconciliations and an absence of supporting schedules.

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. However, subsequent to September 30, 2009, Management has engaged the services of a chartered accountant for a new internal financial controller function, and is considering further strengthening the finance and accounting group with the addition of Chief Financial Officer and qualified support staff.
