MODERNGROOVE ENTERTAINMENT, INC.
[FORMERLY BARRINGTON LABORATORIES, INC.]
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(EXPRESSED IN US DOLLARS)
MARCH 31, 2002
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN
The consolidated interim financial statements included herein, presented in
accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and
stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit,
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading.
These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair
presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these
consolidated interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the
financial statements of the Company and Modern Groove Entertainment
International, Inc. for the year ended March 31, 2002 and notes thereto
included in the Company's 10-KSB annual report. The Company follows the same
accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.
Results of operations for the interim periods are not indicative of annual
results.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which
contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and
commitments in the normal course of business. As at March 31, 2002, the Company
has not recognized revenue to date and has accumulated operating losses of
approximately $2.8 million since inception. The Company's ability to continue
as a going concern is contingent upon the successful completion of additional
financing arrangements, the development of its interactive entertainment
products, and its ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations.
Management plans to raise equity capital to finance the operating and capital
requirements of the Company. It is management's intention to raise new equity
financing. Amounts raised will be used for further development of the
Company's products, to provide financing for marketing and promotion, to secure
additional property and equipment, and for other working capital purposes.
While the Company is expending its best efforts to achieve the above plans,
there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be
available for operations.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.
1. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS - BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS
On April 12, 2002, the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Vancouver, British
Columbia filed against ModernGroove Entertainment, Inc., a petition with the
Supreme Court of British Columbia to be adjudged bankrupt, under Canadian
Bankruptcy Code, British Columbia, Bankruptcy Division, Department of Consumer
and Corporate Affairs, designated with the Vancouver Registry as Case No.
225054VA02. They state in their Bankruptcy Petition that "Moderngroove
Entertainment, Inc., is justly and truly indebted to us in the sum of
$304,482.40 together with interest calculated form February 8, 2002 and costs."
The Canadian corporation has ceased operations in Canada. The U.S. Company
will continue to operate in its ordinary course of business as it has no debt.
The Company will prepare a plan of reorganization.
8
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Moderngroove is a Nevada corporation with business offices in Vancouver,
British Columbia. It carried on business through the British Columbia
subsidiary of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Modern Groove Entertainment
Inc., a Nevada corporation which maintained offices in Vancouver, BC.
The Company was formed in Nevada on August 6, 1998 under the name Barrington
Laboratories, Inc. On January 2, 2001, the Company acquired all the issued
and outstanding shares of Modern Groove Entertainment International, Inc.
("International"). In connection with the acquisition, the Company changed
its corporate name to Moderngroove Entertainment Inc. The acquisition was
completed by share exchange reorganization whereby we acquired all the issued
and outstanding shares of International in exchange for the issuance of 26
million shares of our common stock. Moderngroove carried on operations
through its British Columbia subsidiary, Modern Groove Entertainment Inc.
ModernGroove Entertainment, Inc. currently has no revenues from operations.
The company's original business strategy was focused on developing videogames
for next-generation videogame consoles, such as the Sony PlayStation 2.
Based on adverse market conditions and the cost to develop software programs,
the Company ran out of money and the former management did not focus on
completing its original business plan. The Company is currently assessing
various options and other business strategies.
On April 12, 2002, the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Vancouver, British
Columbia filed against ModernGroove Entertainment, Inc., a petition with the
Supreme Court of British Columbia to be adjudged bankrupt, under Canadian
Bankruptcy Code, British Columbia, Bankruptcy Division, Department of
Consumer and Corporate Affairs, designated with the Vancouver Registry as Case
No. 225054VA02. They state in their Bankruptcy Petition that "Moderngroove
Entertainment, Inc., is justly and truly indebted to us in the sum of
$304,482.40 together with interest calculated form February 8, 2002 and costs."
The Canadian corporation has ceased operations in Canada. The U.S. Company
will continue to operate in its ordinary course of business as it has no debt.
Management currently believes the Company needs to identify and complete an
acquisition, merger or other transaction that will enhance shareholder value.
The Company's acting President is investigating potential business
opportunities, as authorized by the Board of Directors. The Board has placed
no limitations on the type of business or industry to consider. Currently,
MODG has no plans, agreements, arrangements or understandings, written or
oral, with respect to any acquisition, merger or similar transaction. No
assurances can be given as to MODG's ability to identify and complete a
transaction by any given date or as to the nature of the business or
profitability of the company if a transaction is completed. A proposed
transaction could be subject to significant regulatory, business, financing
and other contingencies and might require shareholder and other approvals.
9
The Company has a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of
the Company, its current business and its prospects can be based, each of
which must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and problems
frequently encountered by all companies in the early stages of development,
and particularly by such companies entering new and rapidly developing
markets. The Company's prospects must be considered in light of the risks,
uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies
in their early stages of development. Such risks include, without imitation,
the lack of broad acceptance of the company's products and the inability of
the Company to generate revenues, the company's inability to anticipate and
adapt to a developing market, the failure of the company's infrastructure,
changes in laws that adversely affect the company's business, the ability
of the Company to manage its operations, including the amount and timing of
capital expenditures and other costs relating to the expansion of the
company's operations, the introduction and development of different or more
extensive communities by direct and indirect competitors of the Company,
including those with greater financial, technical and marketing resources,
the inability of the Company to attract, retain and motivate qualified
personnel and general economic conditions.
Going Concern - As at March 31, 2002, the Company has not recognized revenue
to date and has accumulated operating losses of approximately $2,993,100 since
inception. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent
upon the successful completion of additional financing arrangements and its
ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations. Management plans to
raise equity capital to finance the operating and capital requirements of the
Company. There is no assurance that any such activity initiated by the Company
will generate funds that will be available for operations. These conditions
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.
The Company had no dilutive common stock equivalents such as stock options or
warrants as of March 31, 2002.
Results of Operations
---------------------
The following is a limited discussion of the results of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 2002 as the company is currently inactive. As
a developmental stage Company, the Company has yet to generate any revenues.
In addition, the Company does not expect to generate any revenues in the
foreseeable future. During the first three months ended, March 31, 2002,
the Company had no revenues nor expenses, this compares to no revenues and
$573,666 in expenses for the same period last year. The Company has an
accumulated net loss of $2,993,100 since its inception on September 20, 1999.
As stated, during the First Quarter of this calendar year the Company has
been inactive. Miscellaneous expenses to keep the Company active were
covered by the acting President of the Company, who does not expect
reimbursement for said expenses. The Company does not have any material
commitments for capital expenditures.
10
Plan of Operation
-----------------
Without any operating business or material assets, the Company will remain
inactive until such time as management identifies strategic opportunities,
finds additional funding, completes an acquisition of, or merger with an
operating company. No assurances can be given as to Company's ability to
identify and complete a transaction by any given date or as to the nature of
the business or profitability of the company if a transaction is completed.
A proposed transaction could be subject to significant regulatory, business,
financing and other contingencies and might require shareholder and other
approvals.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
At March 31, 2002, the Company had no working capital. It is currently
solely dependent on its acting president who advanced the Company funding
during its software development stage.
The Company believes that any available cash or available borrowings which
may be available or obtained through credit facility or from individuals, may
not be sufficient to meet operating needs and capital expenditure requirements
in the immediate future.
Going forward, significant cash flow will be needed to pay the restructuring
costs to implement any proposed business plan and to fund losses until the
Company can become profitable. While there is no assurance that funding will
be available to execute any proposed plan, the Company is continuing to seek
financing to support its turnaround efforts.
The Company's independent public accountants have included a "going concern"
emphasis paragraph in their audit report accompanying the December 31, 2001,
financial statements. The paragraph states that the Company's recurring
losses and its inability to secure working capital financing raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and cautions
that the financial statements do not include adjustments that might result
from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Existing cash flow is not expected to be sufficient to cover liquidity
requirements after March 31, 2002, and the Company is currently does not have
adequate funds to operate its business. There can be no assurance that any
long-term restructuring alternative can be successfully initiated or
implemented during this calendar year.
11
Market For Company's Common Stock
---------------------------------
Until September 14, 1999, there was no public trading market for the
Company's stock. On that day the Company's common stock was cleared for
trading on the OTC Bulletin Board system under the symbol BRRT. At the
Company's annual shareholder meeting on December 18, 2000, the shareholders
approved a name change for the Company to Moderngroove Entertainment, Inc.,
and the Company subsequently changed its name and trading symbol to: MODG.
A limited market exists for the trading of the Company's common stock.
Dividend Policy
---------------
The Company has never paid or declared any dividend on its Common Stock
and does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Forward-Looking Statements
--------------------------
This Form 10-QSB includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than
statements of historical facts, included or incorporated by reference in
this Form 10-QSB which address activities, events or developments which the
Company expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including
such things as future capital expenditures (including the amount and nature
thereof), finding suitable merger or acquisition candidates, expansion and
growth of the Company's business and operations, and other such matters are
forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain assumptions
and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and its
perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future
developments as well as other factors it believes are appropriate in the
circumstances. However, whether actual results or developments will conform
with the Company's expectations and predictions is subject to a number of
risks and uncertainties, general economic market and business conditions;
the business opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to and
pursued by the Company; changes in laws or regulation; and other factors,
most of which are beyond the control of the Company.
Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-QSB
are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance
that the actual results or developments anticipated by the Company will be
realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the
expected consequence to or effects on the Company or its business or
operations. The Company assumes no obligations to update any such forward-
looking statements.
