|
1. | Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
|
|
The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial statements and accordingly do not include all disclosures required for annual financial statements. |
|
|
|
In the opinion of the Companyメs management, the balance sheet as of November 30, 2005 and the statements of operations, changes in stockholdersメ equity (capital deficit) and cash flows for the six-month period ended November 30, 2005 contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the information set forth therein. The results of operations for the six-month period ended November 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other periods. |
|
|
|
These statements should be read in conjunction with the May 31, 2005 annual financial statements, including the accounting policies and notes thereto appearing in the Companyメs annual report on Form 10-KSB. These financial statements follow the same significant accounting policies as those described in the notes to the Companyメs audited financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2005. |
|
|
|
2. | Nature of Business and Ability to Continue Operations |
|
|
Gilder Enterprises, Inc. was incorporated on April 25, 2002 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company was originally established to pursue mineral exploration and development business opportunities. In January 2003, the Company abandoned its mineral exploration activities. In May 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with a Singapore company whereby the Company and the Singapore company would pursue opportunities to provide high speed Internet access to hotel and other targeted properties. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company has become a 51% stockholder in Nex Connectivity Solutions Inc. (モNex Connectivityヤ) while the Singapore company controls the remaining 49% of shares of the subsidiary (Note 4). Nex Connectivity commenced revenue-generating activities in May 2004 and, to November 30, 2005, had recorded cumulative internet access service revenues of $22,106. |
|
|
|
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As at November 30, 2005, the Company had only recently completed its first full year of revenue-generating operations and had accumulated operating losses of $188,179 (to May 31, 2005 - $169,199) since its inception. Additionally, the Company has negative working capital of $86,490 at November 30, 2005. The continuation of the Company is dependent upon it achieving a profitable level of operations as well as obtaining further long-term financing. Management plans to raise equity capital to finance the operations and capital requirements of the Company. The Company has committed all of its net working capital as at November 30, 2005 to complete the development of the Companyメs business plan. It earns revenue from its Internet access network in one hotel property in Vancouver, Canada. It plans to undertake the necessary marketing efforts to secure further contracts involving the design, installation and operation of Internet access network(s) and to secure further long-term financing. While the Company is expending its best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that such activity will generate funds that will be available to sustain operations. |

3. | Due to Related Party |
|
|
On October 26, 2004, the Company entered into a loan with Angus Consulting Inc., a private company controlled by the Companys President, for a principal amount of $25,000. The loan is repayable at any time on or after October 26, 2005, unsecured and evidenced by a convertible promissory note. It bears interest at the rate of 5% per annum, with accrued interest payable on the anniversary of the loan. All outstanding amounts of the principal and accrued interest are convertible at the option of Angus Consulting Inc. into shares of the Companys common stock at any time prior to repayment at a price of $0.25 per share. As at November 30, 2005, total unpaid interest accrued in connection with this loan totaled $1,373 (May 31, 2005 - $747) and is included in amounts due to related party. |
|
|
|
Under US generally accepted accounted principles, Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 00-27 requires the value of the beneficial conversion feature associated with convertible instruments to be recorded as a discount and to be amortized over the term of the related convertible instrument using the effective interest rate method. When a company issues a convertible instrument that is convertible into common stock, the value of the beneficial conversion feature is computed by comparing the proceeds of the convertible instrument allocated to the common stock portion of the conversion option and the fair value at the commitment date of the common stock to be received by the holder upon conversion. For the above noted convertible promissory note, no beneficial conversion feature was recorded as the fair value of the common stock on the commitment date equals the proceeds of the convertible instrument. |
|
|
|
Other amounts due to the Companys president totaling $29,764 at November 30, 2005 (May 31, 2005 - $23,101) are unsecured, non-interest bearing and repayable on demand. |
|
|
|
4. | Commitments |
|
|
a) Agreement with 5G Wireless Communications Pte Ltd. (5G Wireless) |
|
|
|
On May 25, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with 5G Wireless, a Singapore incorporated company of which one of the Companys directors, is the president and a director. The Company entered into the agreement to pursue a business opportunity of providing high- speed Internet access to hotel and other targeted properties. Nex Connectivity, a Canadian company was incorporated to undertake initial business operations, with the Company and 5G Wireless owning 51% and 49% interests in Nex Connectivity respectively. |

Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements |
(Unaudited - Stated in US Dollars) |
|
4. | Commitments (continued) |
The Company has agreed pursuant to a shareholders agreement with 5G Wireless to provide management services and advance up to $40,000 to Nex Connectivity as a loan in order to fund its start-up operations and its initial Internet access network installation. 5G Wireless has agreed to provide (i) certain network hardware and software valued at $10,000 (ii) the technical expertise and support of its employees, and (iii) a license of certain software developed by 5G Wireless for the management of the Internet access networks. 5G Wireless and its President have each provided a guarantee of repayment of the loan advances to be made under the shareholders agreement. These guarantees are in turn supported by corresponding general security agreements. To November 30, 2005, the Company had advanced $14,889 (May 31, 2005 - $21,000) to Nex Connectivity as a loan pursuant to the shareholders agreement. Such amount has been eliminated on consolidation. As required by the shareholders' agreement, 5G Wireless provided the hardware and software equipment as well as the license of the software to Nex Connectivity in the first quarter of the 2004 fiscal year. As at November 30, 2005, the acquisition of the assets was recorded at its fair value of $10,000 with the corresponding charges to loans payable. These loans payable are non-interest bearing and are repayable from net profits of Nex Connectivity available to be distributed upon the approval of the Board of Directors of Nex Connectivity or when 5G Wireless ceases to be a shareholder of Nex Connectivity. |
|
|
|
b) Management Services Agreement |
|
|
|
The Company entered into a Management Services Agreement (the Service Agreement) with a company controlled by the Companys President. Under the terms of the Service Agreement, the Company agreed to pay a fee of $900 per month for a two-year term ending June 30, 2004, in consideration for management and administrative services. On April 1, 2004, without material amendment to the terms of the agreement, the Service Agreement was extended to March 31, 2006. |
|
|
|
During the six-month period ended November 30, 2005, the Company accrued $5,400 in fees owing under this Service Agreement and a total of $27,000 was outstanding and accrued as at November 30, 2005 (May 31, 2005 - $21,600). |

OVERVIEW
We are a development stage company. We have an operating subsidiary, Nex Connectivity Solutions Inc. (Nex Connectivity Solutions), which is a Canadian federal corporation incorporated on March 25, 2003. Through Nex Connectivity Solutions we are engaged in the business of installing and operating computer networks that enable business travelers at hotel properties to have high-speed access to the Internet (Internet access networks). We own a majority 51% interest in Nex Connectivity Solutions. Our joint venture partner, 5G Wireless Communications Pte. Ltd. (5G Wireless), a Singapore company, owns the remaining 49% interest in Nex Connectivity Solutions. Nex Connectivity Solutions was incorporated in order that we could carry out a joint venture with 5G Wireless for the design, building, owning and operation of specialized Internet access networks, initially serving the needs of business travelers.
Our business plan is to earn revenues from Internet access fees paid by hotel guests at hotels where we have installed Internet access networks. We anticipate that revenues will be shared between ourselves and the hotel property owners based upon negotiated revenue sharing agreements. We also anticipate that we will pay the up-front cost of the installation of any additional Internet access networks, without contribution from the hotel property owner.
In early 2004, Nex Connectivity Solutions secured its initial contract for the installation and operation of a high-speed Internet access network at the Empire Landmark Hotel, a hotel property in Vancouver, British Columbia,
4
Canada. The installation of the Internet access network was completed in May 2004. Nex Connectivity Solutions plans to use this initial contract to build an Internet access network operations business in the Vancouver area. If Nex Connectivity Solutions is successful in securing additional contracts for Internet access network operations in the Vancouver area, then our business plan is to expand the business into new geographical areas and into new target markets, such as convention centers and institutions. There is no assurance that revenues from the initial contract will be sufficient to pursue further Internet access network installations. Also, our present cash reserves and working capital are not sufficient to enable us to maintain our plan of operation without additional financing, of which there is no assurance.
Recent market developments would indicate that the market is maturing and becoming more competitive. In Gilders chosen initial geographic market, Vancouver, Canada, substantially all of the downtown hotel properties have implemented some form of Internet access for their guests. While this has the effect of significantly limiting the available downtown hotel property market for the Company, there has been some replacement of suppliers as hotel properties have upgraded from dial-up to broadband access. We believe our broadband Internet access services compare favorably with that of our competitors and Gilder plans to target certain of the hotel properties that are in the position of upgrading in order to compete for such contracts. Further, we believe other attractive hotel prospects may be available in nearby suburban markets, which we are now researching. In the quarter ended November 30, 2005, Gilder expanded its Empire Landmark Hotel Internet access network installation and now serves approximately double the number of guest rooms as were originally installed. The final system commissioning necessary for full revenue operations was completed in the last week of November. Accordingly, revenues for the period do not reflect guest utilization in the additional rooms being served. Under the terms of the contract extension agreed with the Empire Landmark Hotel, guest usage fees remain the same and a onetime network-servicing fee computed on a per floor basis was paid by the Hotel to Gilder.
Technology has also been advancing and there have been several promising developments that could impact future network design and installation, with the ultimate potential effect of reducing the time and capital costs required to complete an installation. These developments include newly available OEM commercial hardware that multiplexes (i.e. permits multiple uses of) existing wiring, and allows Internet access to be delivered over existing 120 volt power lines, telephone and/or TV cables. We are investigating these newly available commercial OEM products for potential adaptation into our Internet access service system.
Gilder has not been as successful as originally planned at building a significant Internet access network business involving multiple locations and contracts. To November 30, 2005, it had secured only one contract in over two years of operations. Subsequent to November 30, 2005, recognizing that Gilder’s future prospects here are less attractive than originally thought, management has begun to investigate other business opportunities for the Company. The Company has not entered into any definitive agreement with respect to any other business opportunity to date and there is no assurance that any definitive agreement will be entered into. The Company will continue its original plan of operations, as discussed above, pending the entering into of any definitive agreement with respect to a new business opportunity.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues
All of our revenues to date are attributable to our Internet access network installed at the Empire Landmark Hotel in Vancouver, British Columbia, which became operational in May 2004. We earned revenues of $5,263 during the quarter ended November 30, 2005 as compared to $4,578 for the same period in fiscal 2004. During the six months ended November 30, 2005 we earned revenues of $9,446 ($6,028 for the six months ended November 30, 2004). There is no assurance that initial revenues will be indicative of future revenues from the Internet access network installed at the Empire Landmark Hotel.

Operating Costs and Expenses
We incurred operating expenses of $13,133 in the quarter ended November 30, 2005 as compared to $29,468 for the same period in fiscal 2004. We incurred operating expenses of $26,918 during the six months ended November 30, 2005 as compared to $48,086 for the six months ended November 30, 2004.
Professional fees were $5,879 in the quarter ended November 30, 2005 as compared to $22,801 for the same period in fiscal 2004. We incurred professional fees of $10,897 during the six months ended November 30, 2005 compared to $34,985 for the six months ended November 30, 2004. In fiscal 2004, these fees were primarily attributable to costs incurred in filing a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which was declared effective in November 2004. We will continue to incur professional fees as Gilder is now a reporting issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Operations and technical support expenses were $3,031 during the three months ended November 30, 2005 as compared to $3,389 for the same period in fiscal 2004. We incurred operations and technical support expenses of $6,232 during the six months ended November 30, 2005 as compared to $5,893 for the six months ended November 30, 2004. These expenses were incurred in connection with the operation of the Internet access network at the Empire Landmark Hotel. We anticipate that these expense levels will be maintained during the current fiscal year. These expenses will increase in the event that we are able to establish additional Internet access networks.
Office and administrative services expenses were $3,085 in the quarter ended November 30, 2005 as compared to $2,140 for the same period in fiscal 2004. We incurred office and administrative services expenses of $7,512 during the six months ended November 30, 2005 as compared to $4,931 for the six months ended November 30, 2004. Office and administration services expenses were attributable primarily to management services provided by Angus Management, a private company controlled by Mr. Joseph Bowes, our president and a director. We pay Angus Management a fee of $900 per month plus out-of-pocket expenses for management and administration services.
Depreciation expense was $1,138 during the three months ended November 30, 2005 as compared to $1,138 for the same period in fiscal 2004. Depreciation expense was $2,277 during the six months ended November 30, 2005 as compared to $2,277 for the same period in 2004.
Our corporate marketing efforts to date have mainly been direct sales activities involving Gilder management contacting hotel property managers and owners directly to discuss our Internet access network services and capabilities. We anticipate continuing with similar marketing efforts for the balance of the year. Accordingly, the majority of our marketing expenses are attributable to management compensation costs, which are included in the Statement of Operations under office and administrative services.
We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase substantially over the next twelve months due to the fact that we plan to expand our business operations by undertaking marketing efforts in order to secure additional Internet access networks installation contract with hotel property owners. We may also incur additional operating expenses if we determine to pursue the negotiation of a definitive agreement with respect to a new business opportunity.
Our net loss for the quarter ended November 30, 2005 decreased to $8,633 as compared to $25,013 for the same period in fiscal 2004 mainly as a consequence of better revenue performance and lower professional fees. For the same reasons, our net loss for the six months ended November 30, 2005 decreased to $18,980 compared to $42,181 for the six months ended November 30, 2004. Our net losses are attributable primarily to our operating expenses. We anticipate incurring continuing operating losses in the foreseeable future as we carry out our business plan and incur increased operating expenses. The amount and the extent of our operating losses will depend on our success in implementing our business strategy.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
Cash and Working Capital
We had cash of $4,219 and a working capital deficit of $86,490 as of November 30, 2005, compared to cash of $8,982 and working capital deficit of $67,768 as of May 31, 2005.
Our working capital deficit has increased due to the fact that our operating expenses have continued to exceed our revenues from our one Internet access network. Our present cash reserves and working capital are not sufficient to enable us to maintain our plan of operations over the next twelve months without additional financing. We anticipate that we will require approximately $215,000 in additional financing over the next twelve-month period in order to enable us to cover our working capital deficit and to provide necessary further funding to pursue our plan of operations, as discussed below under Plan of Operations. If we do not achieve any additional financing, we anticipate that we will be able to maintain current operations for approximately three months based on current cash and working capital.
If we do not achieve this additional financing, or if the additional financing that we achieve is less than required, then we will scale back our operations according to the funds available to us, as discussed below under Plan of Operations.
Cash Flows
We used cash in the amount of $10,033 in our operations during the six months ended November 30, 2005, as compared to $29,872 for the six months ended November 30, 2004. We also used cash in the amount of $2,019 to purchase network equipment during the six months ended November 30, 2005. We financed cash used in operations and for the equipment purchases in part by using cash raised in financing activities in the amount of $7,289 during the six months ended November 30, 2005. This amount represented an increase to amounts due to a related party which increased from $48,848 as at May 31, 2005 to $56,137 as at November 30, 2005. In October 2004, we obtained a loan in the principal amount of $25,000 as a convertible loan from Angus Consulting, a private company controlled by Mr. Bowes. This convertible loan bears interest at the rate of 5% per annum and is due and payable upon demand at any time after October 26, 2005. All outstanding amounts of the principal and accrued interest under the convertible loan are convertible at the option of Angus Consulting into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time prior to repayment at a price of $0.25 per share. There is no assurance that Angus Consulting will loan any additional funds to us. This amount is presently outstanding in the amount of $26,373 as at November 30, 2005 and includes $1,373 of accrued interest.
Future Financings
We anticipate that if we pursue any additional financing, the financing would be an equity financing achieved through the sale of our common stock. We do not have any arrangement in place for any debt or equity financing. If we are successful in completing an equity financing, existing shareholders will experience dilution of their interest in our company. In the event we are not successful in obtaining such financing when necessary, we may not be able to proceed with our business plan.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Significant Contingencies
Our financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. Our independent auditors have made reference to there being substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in their report of independent registered public accounting firm on our audited financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2005. As discussed in the notes to our audited financial statements, we had only recently completed our first full year of revenue-generating operations and had accumulated operating losses of $188,179 from our inception to November 30, 2005. Our continuation is dependent upon our achieving a profitable level of operations as well as obtaining further long-term financing. These factors raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
We anticipate that we will expend approximately $125,000 over the next twelve months pursuing our plan of operations as outlined below, subject to our achieving the necessary financing. These anticipated expenditures are broken down as follows:
Estimated Expenditures Required
During the Next Twelve Months
Operating expenditures | |||
Operations and technical support | $ | 18,000 | |
Marketing, general and administrative | 43,000 | ||
Total operating expenditures | 61,000 | ||
Capital expenditures (Note 1) | 64,000 | ||
Total | $ | 125,000 |
Note: (1) Capital expenditures include $59,000 for the network operations center and three hotel installations, and $5,000 for office equipment.
Our plan of operations for the next twelve months is set forth below, subject to our obtaining the requisite financing:
|
We plan to attempt to secure additional installation contracts with additional hotel property owners for the installations of our Internet access networks. Our objective is to complete two to three additional new Internet access network installations during the next twelve months. In the next twelve months, it is also planned that we will incur development costs for expanding the functionality of the management information systems employed in our network operations centers in order to increase the sophistication of the billing options that we are able to offer to hotel property and other clients. We anticipate that we will incur costs of up to $59,000 for these additional network installations, additional network operations center equipment and the billing software development work during this period. | |
| ||
|
As our business expands, we plan to locate our network operations center at the facilities of a third- party, computer equipment hosting service provider. We anticipate leasing third-party hosted network operations center facilities, at a cost of approximately $400 per month, after the completion our third network installation. | |
| ||
|
As our operations requirements expand, and likely after the completion of our second network installation, we anticipate leasing packaged office premises of approximately 300 square feet for our operations and technical support staff at a cost of approximately $400 per month. | |
8
|
Staffing costs are expected to be the largest operations and technical support expense and are estimated at approximately $12,500 for the next twelve months as we continue our strategy of staffing these activities on a permanent part-time basis. | |
We may also incur additional operating expenses if we determine to pursue the negotiation of a definitive agreement with respect to a new business opportunity. We will require additional financing to fund these expenses.
If we do not achieve the necessary additional financing, or if the additional financing that we achieve is less than required, then we will scale back the business expansion anticipated in our Plan of Operations according to the funds available to us. Specifically, based upon our cash position at the time, we would scale back our planned operations based upon a combination of some or all of the following actions: not install any additional Internet access networks, not establish a network operations center, not lease any premises, and not purchase any office equipment.
Further, we cannot be certain that future revenues from our existing Internet access network will meet our expectations. Also, we cannot be certain that future expenditures to sustain the existing Internet access network will not be significantly higher than we have anticipated. If revenues are less than anticipated or if expenses are greater than anticipated, then we will have to reduce our operating expenditures in respect of existing operations.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of November 30, 2005, being the date of our most recently completed fiscal quarter. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Joseph G. Bowes.

During our most recently completed fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2005, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
The term internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the registrant's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the registrant's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
