History
of Business
Emvelco
Corp., formerly known as (“f/k/a”) Euroweb International Corp., is a Delaware
corporation and was organized on November 9, 1992. It was a development stage
company through December 1993. Emvelco Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries
are collectively referred to herein as “Emvelco” or the “Company”.
In
1997,
Emvelco entered the Internet field in Hungary and grew through various
acquisitions not only in Hungary, but also in the Czech Republic, Slovakia
and
Romania.
In
December 2004, Emvelco disposed of its 100% interest in its subsidiary in Czech
Republic and in April 2005, Emvelco sold its 100% interest in its subsidiary
in
Slovakia.
In
October 2005, the Company entered into the information technology ("IT") sector
by acquiring 100% ownership of Navigator Informatika Rt. ("Navigator"), a
Hungary-based provider of IT outsourcing, applications development and IT
consulting services.
On
December 19, 2005, the Company entered into a definitive Share Purchase
agreement with Invitel Tavkozlesi Szolgaltato Rt. (“Invitel”) for the sale of
its two Internet and telecommunication related operating subsidiaries, Euroweb
Internet Szolgaltato Rt. ("Euroweb Hungary") and Euroweb Romania S.A. ("Euroweb
Romania"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company sold and, Invitel purchased,
100% of its interest in Euroweb Hungary and Euroweb Romania. The closing
occurred on May 23, 2006 and the Company exited the internet service provider
(“ISP”) industry. The purchase price was $30.0 million.
On
June
11, 2006, the Board of Directors of Emvelco, as part of its strategy to redirect
the Company into new markets, voted to pursue an investor role in real estate
business opportunities through focusing on the financial aspects of developing
majority or minority owned affiliates, providing loans for the development
of
property, engaging in the financing segments for development of property and
the
construction of various types of facilities and investing in real estate
opportunities. The Company commenced its investments in the real estate industry
through its former wholly-owned subsidiary, Emvelco RE Corp (“ERC”), f/k/a
Euroweb RE Corp. in June 2006.
In
September 2006, ERC formed Lorraine Properties, LLC (“Lorraine”), a Nevada
limited liability company. In October 2006, ERC acquired majority ownership
in
non-operational asset holding companies as follows: 66.67% of Stanley Hills
LLC
(“Stanley”), a Nevada limited liability company and 51% of 846 AR Huntley, LLC
(“Huntley”), a California limited liability company,
On
December 31, 2006, Emvelco and its wholly owned subsidiary ERC entered into
an Agreement and Plan of Exchange (“Exchange Agreement”) with Verge Living
Corporation (“Verge”), a Nevada corporation and its sole shareholder and
unaffiliated third party, The International Holdings Group Ltd. (“TIHG”), a
corporation formed and registered in the Marshall Islands. The Exchange
Agreement closed on December 31, 2006. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement,
ERC
issued new shares to TIHG in exchange for 100% of the outstanding securities
of
Verge. After the exchange, Emvelco owned 43.33% of ERC and TIHG owned 56.67%
of
ERC. Verge became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ERC.
Based
on
the operations of ERC throughout the year and as a result of the Exchange
Agreement, the Company’s ownership structure as of December 31, 2006, which is
discussed further below, was as follows:
· |
Emvelco
directly owns 43.33% of ERC, a real estate development company, 25.1%
of
Micrologic, Inc. (“Micrologic”), a software development company
incorporated in Nevada, and 50% of an investment holding company
EA
Emerging Ventures Corp. (“EVC”), through a joint venture with Ashfield
Finance LLC (“Ashfield”).
|
· |
ERC
directly owns real estate development companies as follows: 100%
of Verge,
51% of Huntley, 66.67% of Stanley and 100% of Lorraine. Stanley is
a
related party as its minority owner is D’vora Attia, sister of Yossi
Attia, the Company’s CEO.
|
· |
ERC
directly owns 33.33% of AP Holdings Limited (“AP Holdings”), a Jersey
Company. AP Holdings is a related party, as its majority owner is
Shalom
Atia, the brother of Yossi Attia, the Company’s CEO. AP Holdings is a
non-operational holding company which owns 100% of Atia Projekt d.o.o,
a
Croatian Company (“Atia Project”), a real estate development company.
|
On
February 16, 2007, the Company completed the disposal of Navigator and exited
from the IT outsource industry, which has been classified as a discontinued
operation as of December 31, 2006. Accordingly, the Company’s principal
operations are solely for financial investment in real estate
development.
On
May
14, 2007, the Company entered into a Stock Transfer and Assignment of Contract
Rights Agreement (the “Stock Transfer Agreement”) with ERC, ERC’s principal
shareholder TIHG, and ERC’s wholly owned subsidiary Verge. Pursuant to the
Agreement, the Company transferred and conveyed its 1,000 Shares (representing
a
43.33% interest) (the “Shares”) in ERC to TIHG to submit to ERC for cancellation
and return to Treasury. ERC, TIHG and Verge agreed to assign (the “Assignment”)
to the Company all rights in and to that certain Investment Agreement, dated
as
June 19, 2006, and all Amendments thereto (collectively, the “Investment
Agreement”) wherein ERC (from funds available to ERC from the Company) agreed to
provide secured loans to Verge for the construction of a multi-use condominium
and commercial property in Las Vegas, Nevada (the “Verge Property”) and for
other projects and properties as provided therein.
The
consideration payable to the Company under the Stock Transfer Agreement is
$500,000, which in TIHG’s discretion, may be added to the outstanding loan
amount owing to the Company by ERC pursuant to the secured line of credit
agreement (the "Line of Credit") with ERC, entered into on June 14, 2006,
pursuant to which the Company agreed to loan ERC up to $10.0 million. In
December 2006, the Board of Directors and Audit Committee of the Company
approved an increase of the Line of Credit up to $20.0 million. ERC can use
this
line for the various different projects they are engaged in. The loans are
payable on demand and accrue interest at 12% per annum.
As
of
December 31, 2006, the outstanding Line of Credit owing to the Company is
approximately $12 million. Under the Stock Transfer Agreement, in no event
shall
the Line of Credit exceed eighty percent (80%) of the fair market value of
the
Verge Property. As a condition precedent to the Stock Transfer Agreement, a
current appraisal of the Verge Property shall be presented and delivered to
the
Company within two weeks of the date of the Stock Transfer
Agreement.
The
effective date of the Stock Transfer Agreement is January 1, 2007 (the
“Effective Date”). All rights assigned to the Company under the Investment
Agreement will be considered to be assigned as of the Effective Date.
Accordingly, as of the Effective Date, the Company shall be the sole secured
and
primary beneficiary under the Investment Agreement, and the Company shall have
no ownership interest in ERC.
As
of the
Effective Date, under the Investment Agreement, each loan made to Verge is
due
on demand or upon maturity on January 14, 2008. If the Company requests that
the
funds be paid on demand prior to maturity, then Verge shall be entitled to
reduce the amount requested to be prepaid by 10%. The 10% discount will be
paid
in the form of shares of common stock of the Company, which will be computed
by
dividing the dollar amount of the 10% discount by the market price of the
Company's shares of common stock. The terms of the loans require that the
Company, be paid-off the greater of (i) the principal including 12% interest
per
annum or (ii) 33% of all gross profits derived from the Verge Property. In
addition, the Company has the right to acquire the Verge Property for a purchase
price of $15,000,000 through January 1, 2015. The purchase is payable in
$10,000,000 in cash and $5,000,000 in shares of common stock of the
Company.
Currently,
the Company does not have operations in Hungary. The Company’s headquarters are
now located in Beverly Hills, California.

Strategy
REAL
ESTATE DEVELOPMENT IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
In
June
2006, the Company commenced its financial investments in the real estate
industry through the acquisition of ERC. ERC was a shell corporation with no
operations seeking opportunities in the real estate industry. Based on the
parameters set by the Board of Directors, ERC’s opportunities are limited as
follows:
· |
any
investment in the real estate opportunity (the "Proposed RE Investment"),
including loans, shall not exceed a planned period of three years;
|
· |
the
expected return on investment on the Proposed real estate Investment
must
be a minimum of 15% per year;
|
· |
the
Proposed RE Investment shall not be leveraged in excess of more than
$1.50
for each $1.00 invested in equity; and
|
· |
each
Proposed RE Investment shall have a clear exit strategy (i.e. purchase,
development and sale) and no Proposed RE Investment will be intended
to
acquire income producing real estate.
|
On
June
14, 2006, the Company entered into a secured line of credit agreement (the
"Line
of Credit") with ERC, pursuant to which the Company agreed to loan ERC up to
$10.0 million. In December 2006, the Board of Directors and Audit Committee
of
the Company approved an increase of the Line of Credit up to $20.0 million.
ERC
can use this line for the various different projects they are engaged in. The
loans are payable on demand and accrue interest at 12% per annum. At December
31, 2006, the balance on the secured Line of Credit was $11.3 million.
On
June
19, 2006, ERC entered into the Investment Agreement with Verge, f/k/a The
Aquitania Corp. and AO Bonanza Las Vegas, Inc., pursuant to which ERC, within
its sole discretion, agreed to provide secured loans to Verge, as part of the
Line of Credit described above, which is not to exceed the amount of $10.0
million. Verge is developing the Verge Property in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada,
where it intends to build approximately 296 condominiums plus commercial space.
Verge obtained entitlements to the Verge Property, and has advised that it
expects to break ground and commence sales during 2007. Each loan provided
to
Verge is due on demand or upon maturity on January 14, 2008. All loans are
secured by a first deed of trust, assignment of rents and security agreement
with respect to the property, along with American Land Title Association
(“ALTA”) title policy issued by a title company.
In
October 2006, as part of developing the Company’s financial real estate
development business, ERC acquired a majority ownership in two real estate
companies, Huntley and Stanley, which are planning for the development of two
to
three unit residences. In September, ERC also formed Lorraine, which are lots
designated for an apartment or condominium complex containing 14 multi-family
units. ERC is also developing single family homes in Los Angeles known as the
Harper, Edinburgh and Laurel projects.
On
December 31, 2006, Emvelco and its wholly-owned subsidiary ERC entered into
an
Exchange Agreement with Verge and its sole shareholder, TIHG an unaffiliated
third party. The Exchange Agreement closed on December 31, 2006. Pursuant to
the
Exchange Agreement, ERC issued new shares to TIHG in exchange for 100% of the
outstanding securities of Verge. After the exchange, Emvelco owned 43.33% of
ERC
and TIHG owned and control 56.67% of ERC. Verge became a wholly-owned subsidiary
of ERC.
On
May
14, 2007, pursuant to the Stock Transfer Agreement, the Company transferred
and
conveyed its 1,000 Shares (representing a 43.33% interest) in ERC to TIHG to
submit to ERC for cancellation and return to Treasury. ERC, TIHG and Verge
agreed to assign to the Company all rights in and to the Investment
Agreement.
The
consideration payable to the Company under the Stock Transfer Agreement is
$500,000, which in TIHG’s discretion, may be added to the outstanding loan
amount owing to the Company by ERC pursuant to the secured line of credit
agreement (the "Line of Credit") with ERC, entered into on June 14, 2006,

On
August
30, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement by and between the Company
and
Ashfield Finance LLC (“Ashfield”), a Delaware limited liability company to form,
develop and initially fund EVC, a Nevada Corporation. The agreement was

of
the date of this filing.
(b)
Micrologic, Inc.
On
October 11, 2006, as the first transaction in connection with the agreement
with
Ashfield (where Ashfield and EVC accepted no consideration) (see above), the
Company entered into a Term Sheet that will be formally documented in a contract
with associated exhibits, License Agreement and Warrants by and between the
Company and Dr. Danny Rittman - a third party, in connection with the formation
and initial funding of Micrologic, Inc. (“Micrologic”), a Nevada corporation,
for the design and production of EDA applications and Integrated Circuit ("IC")
design processes; specifically, the development and production of the
NanoToolBoxTM
tools
suite which shortens the time to market factor. NanoToolBoxTM
is a
smart platform that is designed to accelerate IC's design time and shrink time
to market factor. The Term Sheet provides for an initial investment by the
Company of up to $1.0 million, with warrants to purchase additional equity
for
additional investment. Initially, the Company owns 25.1% and Dr. Rittman owns
74.9% of Micrologic, Inc. but such equity positions would be revised depending
upon the exercise of the warrants as follows: (1) Warrant A - the Company shall
be granted a two year option to acquire an additional 10% of Micrologic for
$1.0
million (2) Warrant B - the Company shall be granted a three year option to
acquire an additional 15% of Micrologic for $3.0 million. The consideration
of
warrants A and B can be paid at the discretion of the Company, 50% in cash
and
50% in the Company’s shares. As of December 31, 2006, $50,000 was transferred by
the Company as part of this commitment and no warrants were purchased.
Micrologic will enter into a License Agreement with Dr. Danny Rittman, which
grants Micrologic the right to technology invented, owned and registered by
Dr.
Rittman. Parties agreed that this investment will be handled directly between
Micrologic and Emvelco without the involvement of EVC or Ashfield, however,
the
Company has no influence over the operation of Micrologic. The Company and
Dr.
Rittman are working on finalizing these agreements, which have not been signed
as of the date of this report.
(C)
AP
Holdings Limited - A Jersey Corporation (“AP Holdings”)
As
a
result of the Exchange Transaction entered into on December 31, 2006, ERC,
through Verge, acquired a 33.33% equity investment in AP Holdings Limited,
a
Jersey Company for $3.0 million which was paid in cash at closing. AP Holdings,
a non-operational holding Company owns 100% of Atia Projekt d.oo. (“Atia
Project”), a Croatian company engaged in real estate development. The Company
has no influence over the operation of AP Holdings. The majority owner (66.67%)
of AP Holdings is Shalom Atia, the brother of the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer. During the accounting related to the Exchange Transaction, it was
determined that there is no accounting value associated with this investment
and
therefore, the fair value of AP Holdings is its cost as of December 31, 2006.
The
Company may invest in other unidentified industries that the Company deems
profitable. If the opportunity presents itself, the Company will consider
implementing its consolidation strategy with its subsidiaries and any other
business that it enters. However, the Company does not presently have any plans,
proposals or arrangements to redeploy its remaining capital funds or engage
in
any specific acquisitions. The Company has not yet identified any additional
specific industries in which to invest.
History
of Acquisitions and Dispositions - ISP and IT industry
Over
the
past nine years, Emvelco participated in the ISP market in Central Europe
through various acquisitions of companies in that geographic area. In 2005,
the
scope of the Company’s business activity was changed by the decision to sell the
Company’s operations in the ISP market and furthermore by the acquisition of
Navigator, a company active in the IT services industry. In 2007, the Board
also
approved the exit from IT service industry, and completed the exit with the
sale
of Navigator. Currently, the Company has no operations in Hungary. A history
of
the Company’s acquisitions and disposals within the ISP and IT industry are
presented below.
Hungary
On
January 2, 1997, the Emvelco acquired all of the outstanding stock of three
Hungarian ISPs for a total purchase price of approximately $1,785,000,
consisting of 28,800 shares of common stock of the Company and $1,425,000 in
cash (collectively, the “1997 Acquisitions”). The 1997 Acquisitions included the
following:
· |
Eunet
(Hungary Ltd.) for a cost of $1,000,000 in cash, and the assumption
of
$128,000 in liabilities;
|
· |
E-Net
Hungary Telecommunications and Multimedia for a cost of $200,000
in cash
and $150,000 in stock (12,000 shares);
and
|
· |
MS
Telecom Rt. for a cost of $225,000 in cash and $210,000 in stock
(16,800
shares).
|
Subsequent
to completion of these acquisitions, all three Hungarian companies were combined
and merged into a new Hungarian entity, Euroweb Hungary. On November 22, 1998,
the Company sold 51% of the outstanding shares of Euroweb Hungary to Pantel
Rt.
(“Pantel”) for $2,200,000 in cash and an agreement to increase the share capital
of Euroweb Hungary by $300,000 without changing the ownership ratio. In February
2004, the Company acquired the 51% of Euroweb Hungary that it had sold to
Pantel. The consideration paid by the Company for the 51% interest comprised
$2,105,000 in cash and a guarantee that Euroweb Hungary will purchase at least
$3,000,000 worth of services from Pantel in each of the three years ending
December 31, 2006. The purchase commitment was fulfilled by Euroweb
Hungary.
On
June
9, 2004, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Elender, an
ISP
located in Hungary that provides Internet access to the corporate and
institutional (public) sector and, amongst others, 2,300 schools in Hungary.
Consideration paid in the amount of $9,350,005 consisted of $6,500,000 in cash
and 677,201 of the Company’s shares of common stock, valued at $2,508,353
excluding registration cost, and $391,897 in transaction costs (consisting
primarily of professional fees incurred related to attorneys, accountants and
valuation advisors).
Under
the
terms of this agreement, the Company placed 248,111 unregistered shares of
newly
issued stock (in the name of the Company) with an escrow agent as security
for
approximately $1.5 million loans payable to former shareholders of Elender.
The
shares will be returned to the Company from escrow once the outstanding loans
have been fully repaid. However, if there is a default on the outstanding loan,
then the shares will be issued to the other party and the Company is then
obliged to register the shares. As of December 31, 2005, the Company repaid
all
of the loans that were outstanding. In January 2006, the Company acquired and
subsequently cancelled the shares that were put into escrow.
On
October 7, 2005, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Navigator, a Hungary-based provider of IT outsourcing, applications development
and IT consulting services. Consideration paid in the amount of $10,760,772
consisted of $8,500,000 in cash and 441,566 shares of the Company’s common stock
valued at $1,752,134 excluding registration cost, and $508,638 in transaction
costs (consisting primarily of professional fees incurred related to attorneys,
accountants and valuation advisors).
On
December 19, 2005, Emvelco entered into a share purchase agreement with Invitel
for the sale of Euroweb Hungary and Euroweb Romania. The purchase price for
the
subsidiaries specified in the share purchase agreement was approximately $30
million. As part of the closing, approximately $6 million of the cash proceeds
paid by Emvelco were paid to Euroweb Hungary in exchange for the 85% ownership
of Navigator currently held by Euroweb Hungary. This cash was used by Euroweb
Hungary for the repayment of an approximately $6 million bank loan obtained
for
the acquisition of Navigator. The closing of the sale of Euroweb Hungary and
Euroweb Romania occurred on May 23, 2006.
On
February 16, 2007, the Company completed the disposal of Navigator. The purchase
price paid to the Company is $3,200,000 in cash and the transfer to the Company
of 622,531 shares of the Company. On May 3, 2007 the Company surrendered 622,531
stock certificates together with stock powers to American Stock Transfer &
Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent for cancellation and return to
Treasury.
Romania
On
May
19, 2000, the Company purchased all of the Internet related assets of Sumitkom
Rokura, S.R.L., an ISP in Romania, for $1,561,125 in cash. The acquisition
was
accounted for as an asset purchase with a value of $1,150,000 being assigned
to
the customer lists acquired.
On
June
14, 2000, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock
of
Mediator S.A., an ISP in Romania for $2,040,000 in cash and the assumption

million. As part of the closing, approximately $6 million of the cash proceeds
paid by Emvelco were paid to Euroweb Hungary in exchange for the 85% ownership
of Navigator currently held by Euroweb Hungary. This cash was used by Euroweb
Hungary for the repayment of an approximately $6 million bank loan obtained
for
the acquisition of Navigator. The closing of the sale of Euroweb Hungary and
Euroweb Romania occurred on May 23, 2006.

Czech.
Slovakia
On
July
15, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock

shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $499,929 issued on September 23,
1999; the balance was paid in cash. The acquisition of 70% of Global Network
Services a.s.c. was effective as of October 1, 1999.
On
April
21, 2000, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Isternet
SR, s.r.o., an ISP in the Slovak Republic, for $1,029,299 in cash. Goodwill
arising on this purchase was $945,200. This acquisition was effective May 1,
2000.
On
May
22, 2000, the Company acquired the remaining 30% of R-Net (the initial 70%
being
acquired in 1999) for $355,810 in cash. Goodwill arising on this purchase was
$357,565.
All
of
the Company’s Slovakian operations were then merged into one company under the
name of Euroweb Slovakia. On April 15, 2005, Emvelco sold 100% of its interest
in its wholly-owned subsidiary Euroweb Slovakia to DanubiaTel a.s. The purchase
price was $2,700,000.
Euroweb
Hungary, Euroweb Slovakia, Euroweb Czech, Euroweb Romania and Navigator are
classified as discontinued operations in the Company’s financial statements for
all periods presented.
History
of Acquisitions and Dispositions - Financial Investment in Real Estate
Industry
On
June
11, 2006, the Company commenced operations in the financial aspects of the
real
estate industry through the acquisition of a non-operational, wholly-owned
subsidiary, ERC, which was acquired for a stock purchase price totally $1,000.
The primary activity of ERC includes development and subsequent sale of real
estate, as well as investment in the form of loans provided to, or ownership
acquired in, property development companies, directly or via majority or
minority owned affiliates.
In
the
third quarter of 2006, ERC acquired the following non-operational asset holding
companies: 51% in Huntley for a purchase price of $510, 66.67% of Stanley for
a
purchase price $667 and 100% of Lorraine for a capital contribution of
$1,000.
On
December 31, 2006, Emvelco and its wholly-owned subsidiary ERC entered into
an
Exchange Agreement with Verge and its sole shareholder, TIHG. The Exchange
Agreement closed on December 31, 2006. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement,
ERC
issued 1,308 new shares to TIHG in exchange for 100% of the outstanding
securities of Verge, resulting in TIHG having voting control over ERC.
Subsequent to the exchange, Emvelco owned 43.33% of ERC, while TIHG owned the
remaining 56.67%. Verge became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ERC.
On
May
14, 2007, pursuant to the Stock Transfer Agreement, the Company transferred
and
conveyed its 1,000 Shares (representing a 43.33% interest) in ERC to TIHG to
submit to ERC for cancellation and return to Treasury. ERC, TIHG and Verge
agreed to assign to the Company all rights in and to the Investment
Agreement.
Products
and Services
Upon
completion of the sale of Navigator in February 2007, which is presented as
discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company no
longer operates within the IT outsourcing industry.
Since
June 2006, the Company is engaged in the financial aspects of acquisition,
development, management, rental and sale of commercial, multi-family and
residential real estate properties located primarily the United States of
America (“US”). The Company is also engaged in investment and financing
activities, as well as conducting real estate operations on its own properties.
Currently, all of the real estate properties are in the initial phase of
development, and therefore no sales of property have occurred.
Organization
Project
management
The
Company employs five full-time
professionals including management, in
its
Beverly Hills, California headquarters. Headquarter personnel are responsible
for project management, bid-management and operations service management
activities. Their main tasks involve creating business and interaction with
subsidiaries and vendors. Post the Exchange Agreement with TIHG, the Company
currently employs one full time employee.
Employees
As
of
March 31, 2007, the Company employed a total of 5 full-time
employees.
Government
Regulations
The
Company’s subsidiary or affiliate operations are subject to building,
environmental and other codes, ordinances, zoning, building design and
regulations of various federal, state, and local governing authorities to comply
with building permit, as well as on-going-inspections, including local
regulations which impose restrictive zoning and density requirements in order
to
limit the number of homes that can eventually be built within the boundaries
of
a particular property or locality. We must satisfy valuation standards and
site,
material and construction requirements of those authorities. More stringent
requirements could be imposed in the future on homebuilders and developers,
thereby increasing the cost of compliance.
In
addition, the Company is subject to various licensing, registration and filing
requirements in connection with the construction, advertisement and sale of
homes in its communities. Although these laws have increased our overall costs,
they have not had a material effect on the Company.
Competition
The
real
estate development business is highly competitive and fragmented. We compete
with numerous real estate developers of varying sizes, ranging from local to
national in scope, some of which have greater sales and financial resources
than
we have.
Our
dedication to customer satisfaction is evidenced by our consumer and value-based
brand approach to product development, and we believe that this dedication
distinguishes us in the homebuilding industry and will contribute to our
long-term competitive advantage. The real estate industry in the United States,
however, is highly competitive. In each of our market areas, there are numerous
real estate developers with which we compete. We also compete with the resale
of
existing house inventory. Any provider of housing units, for-sale or to rent,
including apartment builders, may be considered a competitor. Conversion of
apartments to condominiums further provides certain segments of the population
an alternative to traditional housing, as well as manufactured housing. We
compete primarily on the basis of price, reputation, design, location and
quality of our homes. The real estate industry is affected by a number of
economic and other factors including: (1) significant national and world events,
which impact consumer confidence; (2) changes in the costs of building
materials and labor; (3) changes in interest rates; (4) changes in
other costs associated with home ownership, such as property taxes and energy
costs; (5) various demographic factors; (6) changes in federal income
tax laws; (7) changes in government mortgage financing programs, and
(8) availability of sufficient mortgage capacity. In addition to these
factors, our business and operations could be affected by shifts in demand
for
new homes.
Risk
Factors
In
addition to the other information contained in this Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB, the following risk factors should be considered carefully in
evaluating our business. Our business, financial condition, or results of
operations or future prospects could be materially adversely affected by
operating results, and could cause our actual results to differ materially
from
our plans, projections, or other forward-looking statements included in “Item 6.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations” below and elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-KSB.
We
have incurred a loss from continuing operations for the prior periods and we
will again incur net losses if we are unable to generate sufficient revenue
and
control costs.
We
incurred a loss from continuing operations of $2,279,285 for the year ended
December 31, 2006 and $1,703,466 for the year ended December 31, 2005. We may
not achieve profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. If
revenues grow more slowly than we anticipate, or if operating expenses exceed
our expectations or cannot be adjusted accordingly, we will continue to incur
losses. Our future performance is dependent upon the successful development
and
marketing of our services and products and additional acquisition about which
there is no assurance. Any future success that we might enjoy will depend upon
many factors, including factors out of our control or which cannot be predicted
at this time. These factors may include changes in or increased levels of
competition, including the entry of additional competitors and increased success
by existing competitors, changes in general economic conditions, increases
in
operating costs, including costs of supplies, personnel and equipment, reduced
margins caused by competitive pressures and other factors. These conditions
may
have a materially adverse effect upon us or may force us to reduce or curtail
operations.
Our
common stock may be delisted by the Nasdaq Capital
Market
On
April
19, 2007, the Company received a Nasdaq Staff Determination (the
“Determination”) indicating that the Company has failed to comply with the
requirement for continued listing set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14)
requiring the Company to file its Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
2006 with the Securities and Exchange Commission and that its securities are,
therefore, subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company
requested and received a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel
(the “Panel”) to review the Determination. The Panel hearing will take place on
May 31, 2007.
On
May
17, 2007, the Company received a Nasdaq Additional Staff Determination (the
“Additional Determination”) indicating that the Company has failed to comply
with the requirement for continued listing set forth in Marketplace Rule
4310(c)(14) requiring the Company to file its Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended
March 31, 2007 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and that
that this failure serves as an additional basis for why its securities are
subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company will review
the
Additional Determination at its Panel hearing. There can be no assurance that
the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued
listing.
We
are vulnerable to concentration risks because our operations are currently
almost exclusive to the Las Vegas, Nevada and Los Angeles, California real
estate market.
Our
real
estate activities are entirely located in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Because
of
our geographic concentration and limited number of projects, our operations
are
more vulnerable to local economic downturns and adverse project-specific risks
than those of larger, more diversified companies. Our European investment via
AP
Holdings is limited to dividends or profit sharing. Accordingly, the performance
of the Nevada and California economy has a significant impact on our revenues
and consequently the underlying values of our properties.
Aggressive
attempts by certain parties to restrict growth in the area of our holdings
may
in the future have a negative effect on our development and sales
activities.
Although
the efforts of certain special interest groups have not experienced, but may
be
experienced in the future, which negatively impact our development and sales
activities; we will protect and defend our rights to the development
entitlements of our properties.
If
we are unable to generate sufficient cash from operations, we may find it
necessary to curtail our development activities.
Significant
capital resources will be required to fund our development expenditures. Our
performance continues to be dependent on future cash flows from real estate
sales and rental income from our financial real estate developments, and there
can be no assurance that we will generate sufficient cash flow or otherwise
obtain sufficient funds to meet the expected development plans for our
properties.
Our
results of operations and financial condition are greatly affected by the
performance of the real estate industry.
Our
real
estate activities are subject to numerous factors beyond our control, including
local real estate market conditions (both where our properties are located
and
in areas where our potential customers reside), substantial existing and
potential competition, general national, regional and local economic conditions,
fluctuations in interest rates and mortgage availability and changes in
demographic conditions. Real estate markets have historically been subject
to
strong periodic cycles driven by numerous factors beyond the control of market
participants.
Real
estate investments often cannot easily be converted into cash and market values
may be adversely affected by these economic circumstances, market fundamentals,
competition and demographic conditions. Because of the effect these factors
have
on real estate values, it is difficult to predict with certainty the level
of
future sales or sales prices that will be realized for individual
assets.
Our
real estate operations are also dependent upon the availability and cost of
mortgage financing for potential customers, to the extent they finance their
purchases, and for buyers of the potential customers’ existing
residences.
Unfavorable
changes in market and economic conditions could hurt occupancy or rental rates.
The market and economic conditions may significantly affect rental rates.
Occupancy and rental rates in our market, in turn, may significantly affect
our
profitability and our ability to satisfy our financial obligations. The risks
that may affect conditions in our market include the following:
·
the economic climate, which may be
adversely impacted by industry slowdowns and other factors;
·
local conditions, such as oversupply of
office space and the demand for office space;
·
the inability or unwillingness of tenants
to pay their current rent or rent increases; and
·
competition from other available office
buildings and changes in market rental rates.
Our
operations are subject to an intensive regulatory approval process, which may
influence the cost of developments.
Before
we
can develop a property, we must obtain a variety of approvals from local and
state governments with respect to such matters as zoning, density, parking,
subdivision, site planning and environmental issues. Certain of these approvals
are discretionary by nature. Because certain government agencies and special
interest groups may expressed concerns about our development plans in or near
Los Angeles or Las Vegas, our ability to develop these properties and realize
future income from our properties could be delayed, reduced, prevented or made
more expensive.
Certain
special interest groups may opposed our plans and have taken various actions
to
partially or completely restrict development in some areas, including areas
where some of our most valuable properties are located.
We
have
actively opposed these actions. We currently do not believe unfavorable rulings
would have a significant long-term adverse effect on the overall value of our
property holdings. However, because of the regulatory environment that has
existed in the Las Vegas and Los Angeles and the intensive opposition of certain
interest groups, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove
correct.
Our
operations are subject to governmental environmental regulation, which can
change at any time and generally would result in an increase to our costs.
Real
estate development is subject to state and federal regulations and to possible
interruption or termination because of environmental considerations, including,
without limitation, air and water quality and protection of endangered species
and their habitats. We are making, and will continue to make, expenditures
with
respect to our real estate development for the protection of the environment.
Emphasis on environmental matters will result in additional costs in the
future.
The
real estate business is very competitive and many of our competitors are larger
and financially stronger than we are which may affect our sales activities
and
margins
The
real
estate business is highly competitive. We compete with a large number of
companies and individuals, and many of them have significantly greater financial
and other resources than we have. Our competitors include local developers
who
are committed primarily to particular markets and also national developers
who
acquire properties throughout the U.S.
Our
operations are subject to natural risks. Our performance may be adversely
affected by weather conditions that delay development or damage
property.
The
U.S.
military intervention in Iraq, the terrorist attacks in the U.S. on September
11, 2001 and the potential for additional future terrorist acts have created
economic, political and social uncertainties that could materially and adversely
affect our business. It is possible that further acts of terrorism may be
directed against the U.S. domestically or abroad, and such acts of terrorism
could be directed against properties and personnel of companies such as ours.
Moreover, while our property and business interruption insurance covers damages
to insured property directly caused by terrorism, this insurance does not cover
damages and losses caused by war. Terrorism and war developments may materially
and adversely affect our business and profitability and the prices of our common
stock in ways that we cannot predict at this time.
Our
future success is dependent, in part, on the performance and continued service
of our Chief Executive Officer and our ability to attract additional qualified
personnel. If we are unable to do so our results from operations may be
negatively impacted.
Our
success will be dependent on the personal efforts of Yossi Attia, Chief
Executive Officer. The loss of the services of Mr. Attia could have a material
adverse effect on our business and prospects. We do not have and do not intend
to obtain "key-man" insurance on the life of any of our officers. The success
of
our company is largely dependent upon our ability to hire and retain additional
qualified management, marketing, technical, financial and other personnel.
Competition for qualified personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance
that we will be able to hire or retain additional qualified management. The
inability to attract and retain qualified management and other personnel will
have a material adverse effect on our company as our key personnel are critical
to our overall management as well as the development of our technology, our
culture and our strategic direction.
Possible
Future Capital Needs.
The
Company currently anticipates that its available cash resources will be
sufficient to meet its presently anticipated working capital for at least the
next 12 months. The Company, however, required obtaining additional financial
resources for the development of properties. Therefore, the Company may need
to
raise additional funds in order to support more rapid expansion and capital
expenditure, acquire complementary businesses or technologies or take advantage
of unanticipated opportunities through public or private financing, strategic
relationships or other arrangements. There can be no assurance that such
additional funding, if needed, will be available on terms acceptable to the
Company, or at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms,
the
Company may be unable to develop or enhance its services and products or take
advantage of future opportunities either of which could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial
condition.
No
Dividends.
It
has
been the policy of the Company not to pay cash dividends on its common stock.
At
present, the Company will follow a policy of retaining all of its earnings,
if
any, to finance the development and expansion of its business.
Potential
Issuance of Additional Common and Preferred Stock.
The
Company is currently authorized to issue up to 35,000,000 common shares. The
Board of Directors of the Company will have the ability, without seeking
stockholder approval, to issue additional shares of common stock in the future
for such consideration as the Board of Directors may consider sufficient. The
issuance of additional common stock in the future will reduce the proportionate
ownership and voting power of the common stock offered hereby. The Board of
Directors of the Company is also authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares
of
preferred stock, the rights and preferences of which may be designated in series
by the Board of Directors. To the extent of such authorization, such
designations may be made without stockholder approval. The designation and
issuance of series of preferred stock in the future would create additional
securities which may have voting, dividend, liquidation preferences or other
rights that are superior to those of the common stock, which could effectively
deter any takeover attempt of the Company.

policy for each property. Management’s opinion is that the properties are
adequately covered by insurance.
ITEM
3. LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
From
time
to time, we are a party to litigation or other legal proceedings that we
consider to be a part of the ordinary course of our business. We are not
involved currently in legal proceedings other than detailed below that could
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business,
prospects, financial condition or results of operations. We may become involved
in material legal proceedings in the future.
On
April
26, 2006, a lawsuit was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the "Court")
by
a stockholder of the Company against the Company, each of the Company's
Directors and CORCYRA d.o.o., a stockholder of the Company that beneficially
owned 39.81% of the Company's outstanding common stock at the date of the
lawsuit. The Complaint is entitled Laurence Paskowitz v. Csaba Toro et al.,
C.A.
No. 2110-N and was brought individually, and as a class action on behalf of
certain of the Company's common stockholders, excluding defendants and their
affiliates. The plaintiff alleged that the proposed sale of 100% of the
Company's interest in the Company's two Internet and telecom related operating
subsidiaries (the "Subsidiaries") constitutes a sale of substantially all of
the
Company's assets and required approval by a majority of the voting power of
the
Company's outstanding common stock under Section 271 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law. The plaintiff also alleged the defendants breached their
fiduciary duties in connection with the sale of the Subsidiaries, as well as
the
disclosures contained in the proxy statement filed on April 24, 2006. The
plaintiff applied for a temporary restraining order seeking to enjoin the
special meeting on May 15, 2006.
The
Company denies any and all allegations of wrongdoing; however, in the interests
of conserving resources, on April 28, 2006, the parties to the litigation
entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) providing for, subject to
confirmatory discovery by plaintiff, the negotiation of a formal stipulation
of
a settlement of the litigation. Pursuant to the MOU, the Board of Directors
of
the Company agreed to: (i) increase the vote required to approve the sale of
100% of the Company's interest in the Subsidiaries, (ii) revise the disclosure
within the Proxy Statement to eliminate the bonus of up to US $400,000, which
the Compensation Committee of the Company had the option to pay to select
members of management, as the Board of Directors had previously elected to
terminate the ability to pay such bonus and (iii) provide supplemental
disclosure as contained in the Supplemental Proxy Statement to be mailed to
stockholders and filed with the SEC on May 3, 2006.
The
parties entered into a stipulation of settlement on April 3, 2007. The
settlement will provide for dismissal of the litigation with prejudice and
is
subject to Court approval. As part of the settlement, the Company has agreed
to
attorneys' fees and expenses to plaintiff's counsel in the amount of $151,000.
Pursuant to the stipulation of settlement, the Company sent out notices to
the
members of the class on May 3, 2007. A fairness hearing will take place on
June
8, 2007.
The
Company filed a Complaint in the Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles,
against an attorney. The case was filed on February 14, 2007, and service of
process has been done. In the Complaint the Company is seeking judgment against
it this attorney in the amount of approximately $250,000, plus interest, costs
and fees. Defendent has not yet appeared in the action. The Company believes
that it has a meritorious claim for the return of monies deposited with
defendent in a trust capacity, and, from the documents in the Company’s
possession, there is no reason to doubt the validity of the claim. However,
management does not have any information on the collectibility of any judgment
that might be entered in Court. During April 2007 defendant returned
approximately $70,000 and the Company has granted him a 15-day extension to
file
his defense.

MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|
As
of
December 31, 2006, Emvelco operated in the US through its minority owned
affiliate, ERC, a Nevada corporation and its subsidiaries. For the period from
June 11, 2006 through December 30, 2006, ERC was a wholly owned subsidiary
of
Emvelco. Accordingly, the net loss of ERC is presented in the Company’s
statement of operations for that period. On December 31, 2006, the Company
entered into an exchange agreement with TIHG, whereby TIHG became the primary
beneficiary of ERC. Thus, the Company is not required to consolidate ERC, but
rather report the Company’s interest in ERC by using the equity method.
The
Company’s position is based on a detailed analysis conducted by management of
FASB Interpretation No. 46R: Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51
(“FIN
46R”), the accounting pronouncements governing consolidation.
Under
its
FIN 46R analysis, the Company determined that ERC is a variable interest entity.
This in turn required a determination as to which enterprise is the primary
beneficiary. The Company determined that TIHG, rather than Emvelco, is the
primary beneficiary. The Company performed an analysis of the calculated
expected losses of ERC. Of these amounts 56.67% was allocated to TIHG. Because
Emvelco is not the primary beneficiary of ERC, Emvelco should not consolidate
ERC under FIN 46R, but should report the 43.33% interest in ERC using the equity
method. Accordingly, TIHG should consolidate ERC.
As
a
result of the Company’s analysis set forth above, the Company determined that,
under FIN 46R, the Company will not consolidate ERC for the year ended December
31, 2006.
On
May
14, 2007, pursuant to the Stock Transfer Agreement, the Company transferred
and
conveyed its 1,000 Shares (representing a 43.33% interest) in ERC to TIHG to
submit to ERC for cancellation and return to Treasury. ERC, TIHG and Verge
agreed to assign to the Company all rights in and to the Investment
Agreement.
On
April
15, 2005, the Company disposed of Euroweb Slovakia a.s. ("Euroweb Slovakia")
for
cash in the amount of $2,700,000 and, as a result, has ceased operations in
Slovakia.
On
December 15, 2005, our Board of Directors decided to sell 100% of Euroweb
Internet Szolgaltato Rt. ("Euroweb Hungary") and Euroweb Romania S.A. ("Euroweb
Romania"). On December 19, 2005, the Company entered into a share purchase
agreement with third party - Invitel Tavkozlesi Szolgaltato Rt. ("Invitel"),
a
Hungarian joint stock company, to sell 100% of the Company’s interest in Euroweb
Hungary and Euroweb Romania. The closing of the sale of Euroweb Hungary and
Euroweb Romania occurred on May 23, 2006 upon our receipt of the first part
of
the purchase price of $29,400,000. The remaining part of the purchase price
of
$613,474 was fully paid in two installments: $232,536 in June and $380,938
in
the beginning of July 2006. The purchase price was partly utilized for the
repayment of $6,044,870 Commerzbank loan in order to ensure debt free status
of
the subsidiaries, and partly for settlement of $2,130,466 of transaction
costs.
On
February 16, 2007, the Company completed the sale of Navigator for $3,200,000
in
cash and the transfer to the Company of 622,531 shares of the Company. The
closing of the sale of Navigator occurred on February 16, 2007. On May 3, 2007
the Company surrendered said 622,531 stock certificates together with stock
powers to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company the Company’s transfer
agent for return to Treasury and cancellation.
The
sale
of Euroweb Slovakia, Euroweb Hungary, Euroweb Romania and Navigator met the
criteria for presentation as discontinued operations under the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (“SFAS 144”). Therefore,
Euroweb Slovakia, Euroweb Hungary, Euroweb Romania and Navigator are
reclassified as discontinued operations in the financial statements of the
Company in 2006.
The
Company operates in financial investment in real estate development for
subsequent sales, Investment and Financing Activities, directly or through
ERC
and its subsidiaries currently in the USA.
In
June
2006, the Company commenced operations in the real estate industry through
ERC
and its subsidiaries. ERC has commenced developments in the real estate
industry, which must satisfy the parameters set by the Board of Directors as
follows:
· |
Any
investment in the real estate opportunity (the “Proposed RE Investment”),
including loans, shall not exceed a planned period of three
years;
|
· |
The
expected return on investment on the Proposed RE Investment will
be at
minimum 15% per year;
|
· |
The
Proposed RE Investment will not be leveraged in excess of more than
$1.50
for each $1.00 invested in equity;
and
|
· |
Each
Proposed RE Investment will have a clear exit strategy (i.e. purchase,
development and sale) and no Proposed RE Investment intent will be
to
acquire income producing real
estate.
|
As
of
December 31, 2006, the Company via ERC had five projects in development as
follows:
On
June
19, 2006, ERC entered into the Investment Agreement with Verge, pursuant to
which ERC, within its sole discretion, has agreed to provide secured loans
to
Verge not to exceed the amount of $10,000,000. The loan is secured via first
trust deed as well as Lender ALTA title policy for $10,000,000.
Verge
is
an asset company developing the Verge Property, consisting of real property
in
downtown Las Vegas, Nevada, where it intends to build up to 296 condominiums
plus commercial space. Verge obtained entitlements to the Verge Property, and
has advised that it expects to break ground and commence sales during 2007.
Each
loan
provided to Verge is due on demand or upon maturity on January 14, 2008. All
loans are secured by a first deed of trust, assignment of rents and security
agreement with respect to the property, along with ALTA (American Land Title
Association) title policy.
If
ERC
requests that the funds be paid on demand prior to maturity, then Verge shall
be
entitled to reduce the amount requested to be prepaid by 10%. The 10% discount
will be paid to Verge in the form of shares of common stock of Emvelco, which
will be computed by dividing the dollar amount of the 10% discount by the market
price of Emvelco's shares of common stock.
The
terms
of the loans require that ERC to be paid-off the greater of (i) the principal
including 12% interest per annum or (ii) 33% of all gross profits derived from
the Property.
Said
line
of credit was increased via an Amendment to the Investment Agreement up to
$20
Million with the same original terms.
On
December 31, 2006, the Company and its subsidiary ERC entered into an Exchange
Agreement with Verge and its sole shareholder, THIG. Pursuant to the Exchange
Agreement, ERC issued new shares to THIG in exchange for 100% of the outstanding
securities of Verge. After the exchange, Euroweb owns 43.33% of ERC and THIG
own
56.67%. Verge Living Corporation and its subsidiaries became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of ERC.

In
June
2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a program to repurchase, from
time to time, at management's discretion, up to 700,000 shares of Euroweb's
common stock in the open market or in private transactions commencing on June
20, 2006 and continuing through December 15, 2006 at prevailing market prices.
Repurchases will be made under the program using our own cash resources and
will
be in accordance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and
other applicable laws, rules and regulations. The Shemano Group will act as
agent for our stock repurchase program. As of December 31, 2006, the Company
held 476,804 treasury shares at a cost of $995,360.
Pursuant
to the unanimous consent of the Board of Directors in September 2006, the number

from
700,000 to 1,500,000 shares of common stock and the Repurchase Program was

Acquisitions
and Disposals
On
December 31, 2006, the Company and its subsidiary ERC entered into an Agreement
and Plan of Exchange with Verge and its sole shareholder, TIHG. Pursuant to
the
Exchange Agreement, ERC issued shares to TIHG in exchange for 100% of the
outstanding securities of Verge. After the exchange, the Company owned 43.33%
of
ERC, TIHG owned 56.67% and Verge became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ERC.
Because
ERC’s shares are not publicly traded, management concluded that the fair value
of Verge is more readily determinable than the fair value of the ERC shares,
and
accordingly, the transaction was valued based on the fair value of Verge, which
was supported by appraisal.
In
accordance with FAS141, Business
Combinations,
the
transaction was valued based on the fair value of Verge, the acquired company,
which was supported by appraisal.
For
accounting purposes, the acquisition of Verge was treated as an acquisition
of
assets and not a business combination because Verge does not meet the definition
of a business under EITF Issue No. 98-3, “Determination Whether a Nonmonetary
Transaction Involves Receipt of Productive Assets or of a Business.” The
following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the acquired assets
and
assumed liabilities of Verge at the date of acquisition of December 31, 2006:

The
vacant land was originally purchased by Verge in 2005, when it was a wholly
owned subsidiary of TIHG, and cost Verge $2,800,000. Verge invested
approximately $3,000,000 in additional expenses, which were incurred to obtain
the proper planning for condominium development through December 30, 2006.
In
November 2006, Verge had a valuation of the vacant property by an independent
third party appraisal company. The vacant land with the proper zoning was
appraised at $10,500,000. At December 31, 2006, when business combination was
effected, the fair value, $10,500,000, of the vacant land was recorded in the
consolidated financial statements of ERC in accordance with FAS141, Business
Combinations,
to
adjust the land value accordingly.
On
May
14, 2007, pursuant to the Stock Transfer Agreement, the Company transferred
and
conveyed its 1,000 Shares (representing a 43.33% interest) in ERC to TIHG to
submit to ERC for cancellation and return to Treasury. ERC, TIHG and Verge
agreed to assign to the Company all rights in and to the Investment
Agreement.
(b)
Disposal of Euroweb Slovakia, Euroweb Hungary, Euroweb Romania and
Navigator
On
April
15, 2005, the Company disposed of Emvelco Slovakia for cash of $2,700,000 and,
as a result, has ceased operations in Slovakia.
On
May
23, 2006, the closing of the sale of Euroweb Hungary and Euroweb Romania
occurred upon our receipt of the first part of the purchase price of
$29,400,000. The remaining part of the purchase price of $613,474 was fully
paid
in two installments: $232,536 in June and $380,938 in the beginning of July
2006. The purchase price was partly utilized for the repayment of $6,044,870
Commerzbank loan in order to ensure debt free status of the subsidiaries, and
partly for settlement of $2,130,466 of transaction costs.
On
February 16, 2007, the Company completed the sale of Navigator for $3,200,000
in
cash and the transfer to the Company of 622,531 shares of the Company for
cancellation. The closing of the sale of Navigator occurred on February 16,
2007. On May 3, 2007 the Company surrendered said 622,531 stock certificates
together with stock powers to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company the
Company’s transfer agent for cancellation and return to Treasury.
Plan
of operation
The
Company’s plan of operation for the next 12 months will include the following
components:
We
plan
to finance and invest in development of ERC existing projects (Stanley, Huntley,
Harper, Lorraine and Verge), including obtaining financing of Verge Living
for
the purpose of commencing or continuing the projects in 2007. Our plan is to
proceed with financial investment in real estate developments in the US. This
phase of development will include the following elements:
(a)
Attempting to raise bond or debt financing through Verge and AP Holdings if
possible. Any cash receipt from financing will be utilized partly by the
Company’s financial investment in real estate developments in the US and partly
by AP Holdings’ further real estate developments in Croatia. In connection with
Verge and AP Holdings’ financing, the Company anticipates spending approximately
$500,000 on professional fees over the next 12 months in order to facilitate
our
financial investment, by creating more strengh to the financial investments
of
the Company.
(b)
Verge
Project - Verge is pursuing construction loan and mezzanine financing for the
project. The Company is seeking to participate in financing of a construction
loan though a commercial bank and/or private investors.
(c)
The
Company anticipates spending approximately $200,000 on professional fees over
the next 12 months in order to file SB-2 under the Securities Laws.
(d)
Subject to obtaining adequate financing, the Company anticipate that it will
be
spending approximately $10,000,000 over the next 12 month period pursuing its
stated plan of investment operation. The Company’s present cash reserves are not
sufficient for it to carry out its plan of operation without substantial
additional financing. The Company is currently attempting to arrange for
financing through mezzanine arrangements that would enable it to proceed with
its plan of investment operation.
(e)
The
Company will continue its treasury share repurchase program. Based on the stock
price as of March 31, 2007, approximately $2 million cash is needed for the
completion of the program. The repurhase program however is contingent on the
financial ability of the Company as well as available shares and share prices
on
the open market.
(f)
The
Company’s investment in Micrologic is expected to mature during 2007. The
outstanding amount of commitment is $950,000. Micrologic believes it will have
developed products in 2007 of which there is no guarantee. The Company owns
25.1% of Micrologic along with an option to acquire additional 24.9%. Upon
actual sales, if any, the Company will revaluate its option. If the Company
elects to exercise its option, consolidation of Micrologic may add elements
of
income or losses which we can not quantify as of
now.
The
Company’s actual expenditures and business plan may differ from the one stated
above. Its board of directors may decide not to pursue this plan as a whole
or
part of it. In addition, the Company may modify the plan based on available
financing.
The
US
real estate market trends are toward a soft market in the last year. Management
believes that the “softer market” is due to the Federal Reserve Bank Policy of
raising interest rates (in order to depress inflation trends). Such rising
interest rates make financing more expensive, and more difficult to obtain.
The
Company anticipates that it will be spending approximately $10,000,000 over
the
next 12 month period pursuing its stated plan of investment operation. The
Company believes that its liquidity will be enough for implementing its plan,
and the Company has confidence that subject to actual pre-sales, it will obtain
financing to complete its projects in the short-term as well as in the
long-term. If actual sales will not be adequate, the Company will not continue
spending its existing cash, and therefore it can avoid liquidity problems.
The
Company’s primary source of liquidity comes from divesting its ISP business in
Central Eastern Europe, which was concluded on May 2006, when it completed
the
disposal of Euroweb Hungary and Euroweb Romania to Invitel. In February 2007,
the Company closed the disposal of Navigator, which added approximately $3.2
million net of cash to its internal source of liquidity.
Our
external source of liquidity is based on a project by project basis. The Company
intends to obtain financial investment in land and construction loans from
commercial lenders for its development activities.
The
residential real estate market in Southern California, Nevada and Croatia is
more active during spring and summer. It is the Company’s desire to complete its
financial development during the summer, to increase the potential for a fast
sale. In some markets, such as Nevada, regulations allow for the sale of units
from plans. As a result, these seasonal factors should not affect the financial
condition or results of operation, though they may have a moderate effect on
the
liquidity position of the Company.
Critical
Accounting Estimates
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
are
based upon our consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
of
America ("US GAAP"). This preparation requires management to make estimates
and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. US GAAP
provides the framework from which to make these estimates, assumptions and
disclosures. We choose accounting policies within US GAAP that management
believes are appropriate to accurately and fairly report our operating results
and financial position in a consistent manner. Management regularly assesses
these policies in light of current and forecasted economic conditions. Although
we believe that our estimates, assumptions and judgments are reasonable, they
are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ
significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments or
conditions for a number of reasons. Our accounting policies are stated in Note
2
to the 2006 Consolidated Financial Statements. We identified the following
accounting policies as critical to understanding the results of operations
and
representative of the more significant judgments and estimates used in the
preparation of the consolidated financial statements: impairment of goodwill,
allowance for doubtful accounts, acquisition related assets and liabilities,
accounting of income taxes and analysis of FIN46R as well as FASB 67.
· |
Investment
in Real Estate and Commercial Leasing Assets. Real estate held for
sale
and construction in progress is stated at the lower of cost or fair
value
less costs to sell and includes acreage, development, construction
and
carrying costs and other related costs through the development stage.
Commercial leasing assets, which are held for use, are stated at
cost.
When events or circumstances indicate than an asset’s carrying amount may
not be recoverable, an impairment test is performed in accordance
with the
provisions of SFAS 144. For properties held for sale, if estimated
fair
value less costs to sell is less than the related carrying amount,
then a
reduction of the assets carrying value to fair value less costs to
sell is
required. For properties held for use, if the projected undiscounted
cash
flow from the asset is less than the related carrying amount, then
a
reduction of the carrying amount of the asset to fair value is required.
Measurement of the impairment loss is based on the fair value of
the
asset. Generally, we determine fair value using valuation techniques
such
as discounted expected future cash
flows.
|
Our
expected future cash flows are affected by many factors including:
a)
The
economic condition of the Las Vegas, Nevada and Los Angeles, California
market;
b)
The
performance of the real estate industry in the markets where our properties
are
located;
c)
Our
financial condition, which may influence our ability to develop our real estate;
and
d)
Governmental regulations.
Because
any one of these factors could substantially affect our estimate of future
cash
flows, this is a critical accounting policy because these estimates could result
in us either recording or not recording an impairment loss based on different
assumptions. Impairment losses are generally substantial charges. We are
currently in the beginning state of development of real estates, therefore
no
impairment is required. Any impairment charge would more likely than not have
a
material effect on our results of operations.
The
estimate of our future revenues is also important because it is the basis of
our
development plans and also a factor in our ability to obtain the financing
necessary to complete our development plans. If our estimates of future cash
flows from our properties differ from expectations, then our financial and
liquidity position may be compromised, which could result in our default under
certain debt instruments or result in our suspending some or all of our
development activities.
· |
Allocation
of Overhead Costs. We periodically capitalize a portion of our overhead
costs and also allocate a portion of these overhead costs to cost
of sales
based on the activities of our employees that are directly engaged
in
these activities. In order to accomplish this procedure, we periodically
evaluate our “corporate” personnel activities to see what, if any, time is
associated with activities that would normally be capitalized or
considered part of cost of sales. After determining the appropriate
aggregate allocation rates, we apply these factors to our overhead
costs
to determine the appropriate allocations. This is a critical accounting
policy because it affects our net results of operations for that
portion
which is capitalized. In accordance with paragraph 7 of SFAS No.
67, we
only capitalize direct and indirect project costs associated with
the
acquisition, development and construction of a real estate project.
Indirect costs include allocated costs associated with certain pooled
resources (such as office supplies, telephone and postage) which
are used
to support our development projects, as well as general and administrative
functions. Allocations of pooled resources are based only on those
employees directly responsible for development (i.e. project manager
and
subordinates). We charge to expense indirect costs that do not clearly
relate to a real estate project such as salaries and allocated expenses
related to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer.
|
· |
Revenue
Recognition. In accordance with SFAS No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real
Estate,” we recognize revenues from property sales when the risks and
rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer, when the consideration
received can be reasonably determined and when we have completed
our
obligations to perform certain supplementary development activities,
if
any exist, at the time of the sale. Consideration is reasonably determined
and considered likely of collection when we have signed sales agreements
and have determined that the buyer has demonstrated a commitment
to pay.
The buyer’s commitment to pay is supported by the level of their initial
investment, our assessment of the buyer’s credit standing and our
assessment of whether the buyer’s stake in the property is sufficient to
motivate the buyer to honor its obligation to us. This is a critical
accounting policy because for certain sales, we use our judgment
to
determine the buyer’s commitment to pay us and thus determine when it is
proper to recognize revenues.
|
We
recognize our rental income based on the terms of our signed leases with tenants
on a straight-line basis. We recognize sales commissions and management and
development fees when earned, as lots or acreages are sold or when the services
are performed.
· |
Accounting
for Income Taxes: We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities
for the
expected future tax consequences of transactions and events. Under
this
method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based
on the
difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets
and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which
the
differences are expected to reverse. If necessary, deferred tax assets
are
reduced by a valuation allowance to an amount that is determined
to be
more likely than not recoverable. We must make significant estimates
and
assumptions about future taxable income and future tax consequences
when
determining the amount of the valuation allowance. In addition, tax
reserves are based on significant estimates and assumptions as to
the
relative filing positions and potential audit and litigation exposures
related thereto. To the extent the Company establishes a valuation
allowance or increases this allowance in a period, the impact will
be
included in the tax provision in the statement of operations.

Commitments
and contingencies
Effective
July 1, 2006, the Company entered into a five-year employment agreement with
Yossi Attia as the President of ERC which commenced on July 1, 2006 and provides
for annual compensation of $240,000 and an annual bonus of not less than
$120,000 per year, as well as an annual car allowance for the same period.
Mr.
Attia will be entitled to a special bonus equal to 10% of the earnings before
interest, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) of ERC, which such bonus is
payable in shares of common stock of the Company; provided, however, the special
bonus is only payable in the event that Mr. Attia remains continuously employed
by ERC and Mr. Attia shall not have sold shares of common stock of the Company
on or before the payment date of the Special Bonus unless such shares were
received in connection with the exercise of an option that was scheduled to
expire within one year of the date of exercise. In addition, on August 14,
2006,
the Company amended the Agreement to provide that Mr. Attia shall serve as
the
Chief Executive Officer of the Company for a term of two years commencing August
14, 2006 and granting annual compensation of $250,000 to be paid in the form
of
Company shares of common stock. The number of shares to be received by Mr.
Attia
was calculated based on the average closing price 10 days prior to the
commencement of each employment year. Mr. Attia will receive 111,458 shares
of
the Company’s common stock for his first year service. No shares have been
issued to date. The financial statements accrued the liability toward Mr. Attia
employment agreements.
According
to the Term Sheet that will be formally documented in an Agreement with
associated exhibits, License Agreement and Warrants by and between the Company
and Dr. Danny Rittman in connection with the formation and initial funding
of
Micrologic for the design and production of EDA applications and Integrated
Circuit ("IC") design processes. The Term Sheet provides for an initial
investment by the Company of up to $1,000,000, with warrants to purchase
additional equity for additional investment. Initially, the Company owns 25.1%
and Dr. Rittman owns 74.9% of Micrologic, Inc. but such equity positions would
be revised depending upon the exercise of the warrants as follows: (1) Warrant
A
- the Company shall be granted a two year option to acquire an additional 10%
of
Micrologic for $1 million (2) Warrant B - the Company shall be granted a three
year option to acquire an additional 15% of Micrologic for $3 million. The
consideration of warrants A and B can be paid at the discretion of the Company,
50% in cash and 50% in the Company’s shares. No warrants have been issued. The
outstanding amount of the Company’s investment in Micrologic is $50,000 as of
December 31, 2006.
During
2006 and 2007, the Company and ERC entered into several loan agreements with
different financial institutions in connection with the financing of the
different real estate projects (see Note 7 to the 2006 financial
statements).

2006 and the discontinued operation presentation of Euroweb Hungary, Euroweb
Romania, Euroweb Slovakia and Navigator, the consolidated statements of
operations for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 are not comparable.
The financial figures for 2005 only include the corporate expenses of the
Company’s legal entity registered in the State of Delaware, as the Company
commenced its financial investment in real estate related activity with related
revenues and costs in June 2006.

certificate of deposits. An additional $284,661 interest income was earned
by

in exchange for 100% of the securities of Verge. After the exchange, Emvelco
owns 43% of ERC, TIHG owns 57% of ERC, and Verge is a 100% subsidiary of ERC.
In
accordance with SAB 51 and SAB 84, Accounting
for Sales of Stock by a Subsidiary,
Emvelco
realized a gain on the exchange transaction for $1,497,565. This gain resulted
in the carrying value of the Emvelco’s investment in ERC for

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of
December 31, 2006, our cash and cash equivalents were $2.9 million, an increase
of $1.3 million from the end of fiscal year 2005.
Cash
used
in operations in fiscal 2006 was $3.1 million, a decrease of $7.2 million from
fiscal 2005. The change in mainly attributable to the disposal of cash
generating subsidiaries, Euroweb Hungary and Euroweb Romania, as well as
increased losses of the parent company, partly due to severance paid to an
officer and the various costs associated involved with the newly acquired real
estates subsidiaries, which are still in the planning stages.
Cash
provided by investing activities in 2006 was $2.1 million consisting of proceeds
from the sale of Euroweb Hungary and Euroweb Romania in the amount of $21.8
million reduced by (i) $8 million invested into a certificate of deposit, (ii)
$0.1 million invested into Micrologic, (iii) $11.2 million loan provided to
ERC
and (iv) $0.4 million of capital expenditures of discontinued operations. In
2005, $8.9 million cash used in investing activities was $8.9 million, which
consisted of the following: (i) $2.7 million positive inflow in connection
with
of sale of Euroweb Slovakia reduced by (ii) $9 million for the acquisition
of
Navigator, and (ii) $2.6 million in capital expenditures related to discontinued
operations.
Cash
provided by financing activities in 2006 was $2.0 million. Of this amount,
the
Company received $3.0 million of proceeds from loans utilized, while $1 million
was used for repurchase of the Company’s common stock. In 2005, a $4 million was
in connection with financing activities from discontinued operation.
The
Company currently anticipates that its available cash resources will be
sufficient to meet its presently anticipated working capital requirements for
at
least the next 12 months. The Company however is required to ensure additional
bank loans or fund raising to be used for father investment in development
of
real estate, financing and investments activities.
Effect
of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified
prospective transition method and therefore did not restate results for prior
periods. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for share-based
compensation arrangements in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations.
Under the modified prospective method, new awards are valued and accounted
for
prospectively upon adoption. Outstanding prior awards that are unvested as
of
January 1, 2006 are recognized as compensation cost over the remaining requisite
service periods. The adoption of SFAS 123R resulted in a non-cash compensation
charge of $561,451 for the year ended December 31, 2006.
In
July
2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation
No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”) as an
interpretation of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. This
Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes
recognized by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute
for
the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken
or
expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance
on de-recognition of tax benefits previously recognized and additional
disclosures for unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties. The
evaluation of a tax position in accordance with this Interpretation begins
with
a determination as to whether it is more likely than not that a tax position
will be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the
position. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition
threshold is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater
than
50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement for recognition
in
the financial statements. FIN 48 is effective no later than fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2006, and is required to be adopted by the Company
on January 1, 2007. Management is currently assessing the impact of the adoption
of FIN 48.
In
September 2006, the SEC issued SAB No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior
Year Misstatements when Qualifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial
Statements” (“SAB 108”) which provides interpretive guidance on the
consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current
year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 is
effective for companies with fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006 and
is
required to be adopted by the Company in fiscal 2007. However, early application
is encouraged in any report for an interim period of the first fiscal year
ending after November 15, 2006, filed after the publication of this guidance.
Management is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of SAB
108.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS
157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures
about
fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting
pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having
previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is
the
relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require
any
new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods
within those fiscal years. This Statement is required to be adopted by the
Company on July 1, 2008. Management is currently assessing the impact of the
adoption of this Statement.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure
many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement
provides entities the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings
caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having
to
apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is effective as of
the
beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.
Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this
Statement.
Forward-Looking
Statements
When
used
in this Form 10-KSB, in other filings by the Company with the SEC, in the
Company’s press releases or other public or stockholder communications, or in
oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer of
the
Company, the words or phrases “would be,” “will allow,” “intends to,” “will
likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,”
“estimate,” “project,” or similar expressions are intended to identify
“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
The
Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date made, are based on certain
assumptions and expectations which may or may not be valid or actually occur,
and which involve various risks and uncertainties, including but not limited
to
the risks set forth above. See “Risk Factors.” In addition, sales and other
revenues may not commence and/or continue as anticipated due to delays or
otherwise. As a result, the Company’s actual results for future periods could
differ materially from those anticipated or projected.
Unless
otherwise required by applicable law, the Company does not undertake, and
specifically disclaims any obligation, to update any forward-looking statements
to reflect occurrences, developments, unanticipated events or circumstances
after the date of such statement.

CHANGES
IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE
|
DELOITTE
RESIGNATION -
As
the
Company disclosed in its Form 8-K filed April 30, 2007, on April 25, 2007 (the
"Resignation Date"), Deloitte Kft. (the "Former Auditor") advised the Company
that it has resigned as the Company's independent auditor. The Former Auditor
performed the audit for the one year period ended December 31, 2005, which
report did not contain any adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor
was
it qualified as to audit scope or accounting principles. During the Company's
two most recent fiscal years and during any subsequent interim period prior
to
the Resignation Date, there were no disagreements with the Former Auditor,
with
respect to accounting or auditing issues of the type discussed in Item
304(a)(iv) of Regulation S-B.
Prior
to
the Resignation Date, the Former Auditor advised the Company that it had raised
certain issues relating to the accounting of ERC. As of December 31, 2006,
the
Company owned 43.33% of the outstanding securities of ERC. The Former Auditor
believes that this communication is a disclosable event pursuant to Item
304(a)(v). The issues raised by the Former Auditor related to the recording
of
the cost of real estate purchased by Verge (a wholly owned subsidiary of ERC),
the production of records relating to loans made to VLC and the valuation of
land in connection with Lorraine Properties, LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary
of
ERC). Management of the Company disagrees with the aforementioned statements
and
believes that it has adequately explained each of the above inquires made by
the
Former Auditor. Further, prior to being advised of the above issues, the Company
maintained that ERC and its subsidiaries do not need to be consolidated in
the
Company's financial statements, which such position was subsequently confirmed
by a detailed analysis by management and an independent third party consultant
of the accounting pronouncements governing consolidation.
The
Former Auditor advised the Company that it intended to furnish a letter to
the
Company, addressed to the Staff, stating that it agreed with the statements
made
herein or the reasons why it disagreed. The letter from the Former Auditor
was
filed as an amendment to Form 8-K on May 14, 2007.
Appointment
of New Auditors - Robison, Hill & Co. ("RHC") -
On
April
26, 2007, the Company engaged Robison, Hill & Co. ("RHC") as its independent
registered public accounting firm for the Company's fiscal year ended December
31, 2006. The decision to engage RHC as the Company's independent registered
public accounting firm was approved by the Company's Board of Directors.
During
the two most recent fiscal years and through April 26, 2007, the Company has
not
consulted with RHC regarding either:
1.
the
application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either
completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered
on
the Company's financial statements, and neither a written report was provided
to
the Company nor oral advice was provided that RHC concluded was an important
factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting,
auditing or financial reporting issue; or
2.
any
matter that was either subject of disagreement or event, as defined in Item
304(a)(1)(iv)(A) of Regulation S-B and the related instruction to Item 304
of
Regulation S-B, or a reportable event, as that term is explained in Item
304(a)(1)(iv)(A) of Regulation S-B.
ITEM
8A. CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
As
of
December 31, 2006, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with
the participation of the Company's management, including Yossi Attia, the Chief
Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness
of
the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures.
Based on that evaluation, the Company's management, including the Chief
Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, concluded that the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December
31,
2006. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls
or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls in the
quarter ended December 31, 2006 that materially affected or are reasonably
likely to materially affect the Company’s internal controls.
On
April
19, 2007, the Company received a Nasdaq Staff Determination (the
"Determination") indicating that the Company has failed to comply with the
requirement for continued listing set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14)
requiring the Company to file its Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
2006 with the Securities and Exchange Commission and that its securities are,
therefore, subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company
requested and received a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel
(the "Panel") to review the Determination. The Panel hearing will take place
on
May 31, 2007.
On
May
17, 2007, the Company received a Nasdaq Additional Staff Determination (the
“Additional Determination”) indicating that the Company has failed to comply
with the requirement for continued listing set forth in Marketplace Rule
4310(c)(14) requiring the Company to file its Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended
March 31, 2007 with the Securities and Exchange Commission and that that this
failure serves as an additional basis for why its securities are subject to
delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company will review the Additional
Determination at its Panel hearing. There can be no assurance that the Panel
will grant the Company’s request for continued listing.

ROLE
OF THE BOARD
Pursuant to Delaware law,
our business, property and affairs are managed under the direction of the Board.
The Board has responsibility for establishing broad corporate policies and
for
the overall performance and direction of Emvelco, but is not involved in
day-to-day operations. Members of the Board keep informed of the business by
participating in Board and committee meetings, by reviewing analyses and reports
sent to them regularly, and through discussions with the executive
officers.
2006
BOARD MEETINGS
In 2006, the Board met
five times and made eleven additional resolutions. No director attended less
than 75% of all of the combined total meetings of the Board and the committees
on which they served in 2006.
BOARD
COMMITTEES
Audit
Committee
The Audit Committee of the Board reviews the internal
accounting procedures of the Company and consults with and reviews the services
provided by our independent accountants. During the beginning of 2006, the
Audit
Committee consisted of Messrs. Stewart Reich, Ilan Kenig and Yossi Attia. Mr.
Attia resigned in August, 2006 upon his election and appointment as CEO of
Emvelco. Consequently, the Audit Committee appointed Gerald Schaffer to serve
as
the third member. Mssrs. Reich, Kenig and Schaffer are independent members
of
the Board. The Audit Committee held four meetings and made one additional
resolution in 2006. Mr. Reich serves as the financial expert on the Audit
Committee.
The
audit
committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with
management; the audit committee has discussed with the independent auditors
the
matters required to be discussed by the statement on Auditing Standards No.
61,
as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1, AU section 380), as adopted
by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T; and the audit
committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the
independent accountants required by Independence Standards Board Standard No.
1
(Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with
Audit Committees), as adopted by the Public Company.
Compensation
Committee
The
Compensation Committee of the Board performs the following: i) reviews and
recommends to the Board the compensation and benefits of our executive officers;
ii) administers the stock option plans and employee stock purchase plan; and
iii) establishes and reviews general policies relating to compensation and
employee benefits. In 2006, the Compensation Committee consisted of Messrs
Reich, Kenig and Attia. Mr. Attia resigned as a member of the Compensation
Committee in August, 2006 upon his appointment as CEO of Emvelco. To fill this
vacancy, the Board appointed Mr. Gerald Schaffer, an independent member of
the
Board, to serve as a member of the Compensation Committee. No interlocking
relationships exist between the Board or Compensation Committee and the Board
or
Compensation Committee of any other company. During the past fiscal year the
Compensation Committee had two meetings and made two additional resolutions.
SECTION
16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP COMPLIANCE
Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s Directors
and executive officers, and persons who own more then 10 percent of the
Company’s common stock, to file with the SEC the initial reports of ownership
and reports of changes in ownership of common stock. Officers, Directors and
greater than 10 percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish
the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Specific
due dates for such reports have been established by the SEC and the Company
is
required to disclose in this Proxy Statement any failure to file reports by
such
dates during fiscal 2006. Based solely on its review of the copies of such
reports received by it, or written representations from certain reporting
persons that no Forms 5 were required for such persons, the Company believes
that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, there was no failure to
comply with Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers,
Directors and ten percent stockholders.
POLICY
WITH RESPECT TO SECTION 162(m)
Section
162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), provides
that, unless an appropriate exemption applies, a tax deduction for the Company
for compensation of certain executive officers named in the Summary Compensation
Table will not be allowed to the extent such compensation in any taxable year
exceeds $1 million. As no executive officer of the Company received compensation
during 2006 approaching $1 million, and the Company does not believe that any
executive officer’s compensation is likely to exceed $1 million in 2006, the
Company has not developed an executive compensation policy with respect to
qualifying compensation paid to its executive officers for deductibility under
Section 162(m) of the Code.
CODE
OF ETHICS
The
Company has adopted its Code of Ethics and Business Conduct for Officers,
Directors and Employees that applies to all of the officers, Directors and
employees of the Company.

18, 1999, which commenced January 1, 2000, and provided for an annual

On
May
24, 2006, the Company entered into a Severance Agreement with Mr. Toro in order
to define the severance relationship between the two parties. In consideration
for Toro agreeing to relinquish and release all rights and claims under the
Employment Agreement, including the payment of his annual salary, the Company
agreed to pay Mr. Toro $750,000. In addition, Mr. Toro has submitted his
resignation as CEO and as a Director of the Company effective June 1, 2006.
The
severance was paid in full in May 2006.
The
Company entered into a two-year employment agreement with Moshe Schnapp as
President and Director of the Company which commenced on April 15, 2005, and
provided for an annual compensation of $250,000 to be paid in the form of
Euroweb shares of common stock. The number of shares to be received by Mr.
Schnapp was calculated based on the average closing price 10 days prior to
the
commencement of each employment year. For the year ended April 14, 2006, Mr.
Schnapp received 82,781 Euroweb shares of common stock of which 58,968 were
issued in January 2006. In July 2006, we issued the remaining 46,007 shares
of
common stock for services through July 30, 2006. Mr. Schnapp resigned as
President and director in August 2006. Mr. Schnapp waived his rights to any
further compensation.
Effective
July 1, 2006, the Company entered into a five-year employment agreement with
Yossi Attia as the President of ERC which commenced on July 1, 2006 and provides
for annual compensation of $240,000 and an annual bonus of not less than
$120,000 per year, as well as an annual car allowance for the same period.
Mr.
Attia will be entitled to a special bonus equal to 10% of the EBITDA of ERC,
which such bonus is payable in shares of common stock of the Company; provided,
however, the special bonus is only payable in the event that Mr. Attia remains
continuously employed by ERC and Mr. Attia shall not have sold shares of common
stock of the Company on or before the payment date of the special bonus unless
such shares were received in connection with the exercise of an option that
was
scheduled to expire within one year of the date of exercise. In addition, on
August 14, 2006, the Company amended the Agreement to provide that Mr. Attia
shall serve as the CEO of the Company for a term of two years commencing August
14, 2006 and granting annual compensation of $250,000 to be paid in the form
of
Company shares of common stock. The number of shares to be received by Mr.
Attia
is calculated based on the average closing price 10 days prior to the
commencement of each employment year. Mr. Attia will receive 111,458 of the
Company shares of common stock for his first year service. No shares have been
issue to Mr. Attia in 2006.
The
employment agreements mentioned above further provide that, if employment is
terminated other than for willful breach by the employee, for cause or in event
of a change in control of the Company, then the employee has the right to
terminate the agreement. In the event of any such termination, the employee
will
be entitled to receive the payment due on the balance of his employment
agreement.
The
Company has no pension or profit sharing plan or other contingent forms of
remuneration with any officer, Director, employee or consultant, although
bonuses are paid to some individuals.

STOCK
OPTION PLAN
2004
Incentive Plan
General
The
2004
Incentive Plan was adopted by the Board. The Board initially reserved 800,000
shares of common stock for issuance under the 2004 Incentive Plan. In 2005,
the
Plan was adjusted to increase the number of shares of common stock issuable
under such plan from 800,000 shares to 1,200,000 shares. Under the Plan, options
may be granted which are intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options ("ISOs")
under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") or which
are
not ("Non-ISOs") intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options thereunder.
The
2004
Incentive Plan and the right of participants to make purchases thereunder are
intended to qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" under Section 423
of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The 2004 Incentive
Plan is not a qualified deferred compensation plan under Section 401(a) of
the
Internal Revenue Code and is not subject to the provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").
Purpose
The
primary purpose of the 2004 Incentive Plan is to attract and retain the best
available personnel for the Company in order to promote the success of the
Company's business and to facilitate the ownership of the Company's stock by
employees.
Administration
The
2004
Incentive Plan is administered by the Company's Board, as the Board may be
composed from time to time. All questions of interpretation of the 2004
Incentive Plan are determined by the Board, and its decisions are final and
binding upon all participants. Any determination by a majority of the members
of
the Board at any meeting, or by written consent in lieu of a meeting, shall
be
deemed to have been made by the whole Board.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Board may at any time, or from time to time, appoint a
committee (the "Committee") of at least two members of the Board, and delegate
to the Committee the authority of the Board to administer the Plan. Upon such
appointment and delegation, the Committee shall have all the powers, privileges
and duties of the Board, and shall be substituted for the Board, in the
administration of the Plan, subject to certain limitations.
Members
of the Board who are eligible employees are permitted to participate in the
2004
Incentive Plan, provided that any such eligible member may not vote on any
matter affecting the administration of the 2004 Incentive Plan or the grant
of
any option pursuant to it, or serve on a committee appointed to administer
the
2004 Incentive Plan. In the event that any member of the Board is at any time
not a "disinterested person", as defined in Rule 16b-3(c)(3)(i) promulgated
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Plan shall not be
administered by the Board, and may only by administered by a Committee, all
the
members of which are disinterested persons, as so defined.
Eligibility
Under
the
2004 Incentive Plan, options may be granted to key employees, officers,
Directors or consultants of the Company, as provided in the 2004 Incentive
Plan.
Terms
of Options
The
term
of each option granted under the Plan shall be contained in a stock option
agreement between the optionee and the Company and such terms shall be
determined by the Board consistent with the provisions of the Plan, including
the following:
(a)
PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price of the common shares subject to each ISO
shall not be less than the fair market value (as set forth in the 2004 Incentive
Plan), or in the case of the grant of an ISO to a principal stockholder, not
less that 110% of fair market value of such common shares at the time such
option is granted. The purchase price of the common shares subject to each
Non-ISO shall be determined at the time such option is granted, but in no case
less than 85% of the fair market value of such common shares at the time such
option is granted.
(b)
VESTING. The dates on which each option (or portion thereof) shall be
exercisable and the conditions precedent to such exercise, if any, shall be
fixed by the Board, in its discretion, at the time such option is granted.
(c)
EXPIRATION. The expiration of each option shall be fixed by the Board, in its
discretion, at the time such option is granted; however, unless otherwise
determined by the Board at the time such option is granted, an option shall
be
exercisable for ten (10) years after the date on which it was granted (the
"Grant Date"). Each option shall be subject to earlier termination as expressly
provided in the 2004 Incentive Plan or as determined by the Board, in its
discretion, at the time such option is granted.
(d)
TRANSFERABILITY. No option shall be transferable, except by will or the laws
of
descent and distribution, and any option may be exercised during the lifetime
of
the optionee only by him. No option granted under the Plan shall be subject
to
execution, attachment or other process.
(e)
OPTION ADJUSTMENTS. The aggregate number and class of shares as to which options
may be granted under the Plan, the number and class shares covered by each
outstanding option and the exercise price per share thereof (but not the total
price), and all such options, shall each be proportionately adjusted for any
increase decrease in the number of issued common shares resulting from split-up
spin-off or consolidation of shares or any like capital adjustment or the
payment of any stock dividend.
Except
as
otherwise provided in the 2004 Incentive Plan, any option granted hereunder
shall terminate in the event of a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property
or stock, separation, reorganization or liquidation of the Company. However,
the
optionee shall have the right immediately prior to any such transaction to
exercise his option in whole or in part notwithstanding any otherwise applicable
vesting requirements.
(f)
TERMINATION, MODIFICATION AND AMENDMENT. The 2004 Incentive Plan (but not
options previously granted under the Plan) shall terminate ten (10) years from
the earlier of the date of its adoption by the Board or the date on which the
Plan is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote thereon,
and
no option shall be granted after termination of the Plan. Subject to certain
restrictions, the Plan may at any time be terminated and from time to time
be
modified or amended by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of
the
outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Company present, or represented,
and entitled to vote at a meeting duly held in accordance with the applicable
laws of the State of Delaware.

Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of January 28, 2005, by and
between KPN Telecom B.V. ("KPN Telecom"), a company incorporated under the
laws
of the Netherlands, and CORCYRA d.o.o., a Croatian company ("CORCYRA"), (the
"Purchase Agreement"), KPN Telecom sold to CORCYRA (i) 289,855 shares (the
"Initial Shares") of our common stock for US $1,000,000 (the "Initial Closing"),
(ii) 434,783 shares (the "Secondary Shares") of our common stock for US
$1,500,000 on April 28, 2006 and (iii) 781,006 shares of the Company’s common
stock pursuant to the Second Special Closing of our common stock on January
26,
2007. The Initial Closing occurred on February 1, 2005. Pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, CORCYRA also agreed to purchase and, KPN agreed to sell, KPN
Telecom's remaining 1,604,405 shares of our common stock (the "Final Shares")
on
December 1, 2006 (the "Final Closing"); provided, however, that upon 14 days'
prior written notice to KPN Telecom, CORCYRA may accelerate the Final Closing
to
an earlier month-end date as specified in such notice; provided, further, that
the Final Closing is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all of the
conditions to closing set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Assuming the final
closing occurred on December 1, 2006, the purchase price to be paid by CORCYRA
at the final closing shall be equal to $5,801,817 (“Base Price”) plus the
product of 1,601,405 multiplied by .35, which in turn is multiplied by the
difference of the average closing price for 60 trading days prior to the closing
date less $3.45 (the “Additional Payment”). In addition, CORCYRA will be
required to pay a premium of $28,560 per month. The Base Price to be paid
decreases in the event that Corcyra closes prior to December 1, 2006. KSD
Pacific, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ("KSD") purchased from Moshe
Har Adir all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of CORCYRA
in
exchange for $10,830,377. Yossi Attia, sole officer and director of CORCYRA
and
sole member of KSD is chief executive officer and a director of the Company.
Pursuant to Amendment No. 2 dated as of December 1, 2006, to the Purchase
Agreement, CORCYRA and KPN agreed to split the purchase of the remaining
1,601,405 shares of Common Stock into two tranches rather than purchasing all
of
the remaining stock in one tranche on December 1, 2006. In accordance with
the
terms of Amendment No. 2 781,006 shares of the Remaining Stock were purchased
by
CORCYRA from KPN on December 1, 2006 paying $3.85 per share. The balance of
the
Remaining Stock of 820,399 shares is scheduled to be purchased by CORCYRA from
KPN on or before July 2, 2007; provided, however, that CORCYRA may accelerate
the closing to an earlier month-end date as specified in such agreement.
Accordingly, CORCYRA, and Mr. Attia through his ownership of KSD and
CORCYRA, presently owns 1,505,644 shares of common stock and is deemed to
own, pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d), promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act
of
1934, as amended, the remaining 820,399 shares held by KPN Telecom. Mr. Attia
is
entitled to additional 111,458 shares of the Company per his employment
agreement with the Company.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Board
of
Directors and Stockholders
Emvelco
Corp.
We
have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Emvelco Corp., and
subsidiaries (a Delaware corporation) as of December 31, 2006 and the related
consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders'
equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements
are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial
statements of Emvelco Corp., and subsidiaries for the year ended December
31,
2005, were audited by other auditors whose report thereon, dated March 24,
2006,
expressed an unqualified opinion.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required
to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control
over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In
our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Emvelco Corp., and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006, and the results of its operations and
its
cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
1.
Organization and Business
Emvelco
Corp. (“Emvelco”), formerly known as Euroweb International Corp., is a Delaware
Corporation, which was incorporated on November 9, 1992. Emvelco and its
consolidated subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as the “Company”.
The
Company's authorized capital stock consists of 35,000,000 shares with a
par
value of $0.001 per share. As
of
December 31, 2006, 5,889,074 shares are issued and 5,412,270 shares are
outstanding.
The
Company is a holding company and it invests in the real estate development,
financing and investments business through Emvelco RE Corp. (“ERC”) and its
subsidiaries in the United States of America (“US”). The Company commenced
operations in the investment real estate industry through the acquisition of
an
empty, non-operational, wholly-owned subsidiary, ERC, which was acquired in
June
2006. Primary activity of ERC includes investment, development and subsequent
sale of real estate, as well as investment in the form of loans provided to,
or
ownership acquired in, property development companies, directly or via majority
or minority owned affiliates. The Company also has an investment in Micrologic,
Inc., a software development company. The Company’s headquarters are located in
West Hollywood, California.
On
April
15, 2005, the Company disposed of Euroweb Slovakia a.s. ("Euroweb Slovakia")
for
cash in the amount of $2,700,000 and, as a result, has ceased operations in
Slovakia. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the operations of Euroweb
Slovakia have been presented as discontinued operations in the Company’s
consolidated financial statements (see Note 8).
On
December 15, 2005, the Board of Directors decided to sell 100% of Euroweb
Internet Szolgaltato Rt. ("Euroweb Hungary") and Euroweb Romania S.A. ("Euroweb
Romania"). On December 19, 2005, the Company entered into a share purchase
agreement to sell 100% of the Company’s interest in Euroweb Hungary and Euroweb
Romania. The closing of the sale of Euroweb Hungary and Euroweb Romania occurred
on May 23, 2006. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the
Euroweb Hungary and Euroweb Romania operations have been presented as
discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements (see
Note 8).
In
September 2006, ERC formed Lorraine Properties, LLC (“Lorraine”), a Nevada
limited liability company. In October 2006, ERC has acquired majority ownership
in non-operational asset holding companies as follows: 66.67% of Stanley Hills
LLC (“Stanley”), a Nevada limited liability company and 51% of AR 846 Huntley
(“Huntley”), LLC, a California limited liability company,
Emvelco
and its wholly-owned subsidiary ERC entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Exchange (“Exchange Agreement”) dated December 31, 2006 with Verge Living
Corporation (“Verge”), a Nevada corporation, and Verge’s sole shareholder, The
International Holdings Group Ltd. (“TIHG”) a corporation formed and registered
in the Marshall Islands, controlled by a third party. The Exchange Agreement
closed on December 31, 2006. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, ERC issued
shares to TIHG in exchange for 100% of the outstanding securities of Verge
Living Corporation (“Verge”). Subsequent to the exchange, Emvelco ownership in
ERC was diluted to 43.33%, while TIHG owned the remaining 56.67%. Verge became
a
wholly-owned subsidiary of ERC (see Note 7). ERC directly owns 33.33% of AP
Holdings Limited (“AP Holdings”), a Jersey Island non operating holding Company.
AP Holdings owns 100% of Atia project d.o.o, a Croatian Company (“Atia
project”), a real estate development company.
As
a
result of the Exchange Agreement, as well as the operation of ERC throughout
the
year, the Company’s ownership structure at December 31, 2006 was as
follows:
·
|
Emvelco
owns 43.33% of ERC, and 25.1% of Micrologic, Inc. (“Micrologic, Inc”) a
software development company incorporated in Nevada.

·
|
ERC
owns real estate development via non-operational asset companies
as

|
|

|
On
February 16, 2007, the Company entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement (the
“Agreement”) to sell a 100% of Navigator Informatika Rt. (“Navigator”), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. For the years ended December 31,
2006 and 2005, the operations of Navigator have been presented as discontinued
operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements (see Note
8).
In
2006,
the Navigator assets were examined for impairment and the net assets of
Navigator were written down to fair value of $4,034,191. The resulting
impairment charge was $5,598,438, which is presented in the financial statements
in the income from discontinued operations in 2006. (see Note 8)
On
May
14, 2007, the Company entered into a Stock Transfer and Assignment of Contract
Rights Agreement (the "Agreement") with ERC, ERC's principal shareholder TIHG
and ERC's wholly owned subsidiary Verge. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company
transferred and conveyed its 1,000 Shares (representing a 43.33% interest)
(the
"Shares") in ERC to TIHG to submit to ERC for cancellation and return to
Treasury (see
Note
15).
2.
Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US
GAAP”).
Basis
of consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Emvelco, its
majority-owned subsidiaries and all variable interest entities for which the
Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated upon consolidation.
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Emvelco and the
subsidiaries it controls. Control is determined based on ownership rights or,
when applicable, whether the Company is considered the primary beneficiary
of a
variable interest entity. For the period from June 14, 2006 to December 30,
2006, ERC was a wholly owned subsidiary of Emvelco and the results of operations
are presented in the consolidating financial statements. As of December 31,
2006, after the exchange with TIGH, there are no controlled subsidiaries of
Emvelco. The Company’s interest in entities for which it owns, ranging from
25.1% to and 43.33%, are not controlled by the Company. These interests are
accounted for using the equity method for ERC and its subsidiaries and for
Micrologic, Inc.,
Emvelco
Corp.
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
Variable
Interest Entities
Under
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46 (revised
December 2003) “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46R”), the
Company is required to consolidate variable interest entities (“VIE's”), where
it is the entity’s primary beneficiary. VIE's are entities in which equity
investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest
or
do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities
without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The
primary beneficiary is the party that has exposure to a majority of the expected
losses and/or expected residual returns of the VIE.
Based
on the
Company’s analysis at the date of acquisition, as well as all other
reconsideration events as defined under FIN 46R, management determined that
despite the various ownership interests, Emvelco was not the primary beneficiary
of ERC and all of its subsidiaries, including Lorraine, Stanley, AP Holdings,
and Huntley. Therefore, Emvelco does not consolidate ERC as of December 31,
2006. The primary beneficiary of ERC is TIGH, an unrelated company, which owns
56.67% of ERC, and will therefore consolidate ERC.
Use
of estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Fair
value of financial instruments
The
carrying values of cash equivalents, notes and loans receivable, accounts
payable, loans payable and accrued expenses approximate fair values.
Revenue
recognition
The
Company applies the provisions of Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”)
Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements” (“SAB 104”), which provides guidance on the recognition,
presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the
SEC. SAB 104 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue
and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies.
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, the product or service has been delivered, fees are fixed or
determinable, collection is probable and all other significant obligations
have
been fulfilled.
Revenues
from rent income are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the
lease. Rent income received prior to the due date is deferred.
Revenues
from property sales are recognized in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate,”
when the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the buyer, when
the
consideration received can be reasonably determined and when Emvelco has
completed its obligations to perform certain supplementary development
activities, if any exist, at the time of the sale. Consideration is reasonably
determined and considered likely of collection when Emvelco has signed sales
agreements and has determined that the buyer has demonstrated a commitment
to
pay. The buyer’s commitment to pay is supported by the level of their initial
investment, Emvelco’ assessment of the buyer’s credit standing and Emvelco’
assessment of whether the buyer’s stake in the property is sufficient to
motivate the buyer to honor their obligation to it.
Emvelco
Corp.
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
Revenue
from fixed price contracts is recognized on the percentage of
completion method. The percentage of
completion method is also used for condominium projects in which the Company
is
a real estate developer and all units have been sold prior to the completion
of
the preliminary stage and at least 25% of the project has been carried out.
Percentage of completion is measured by the percentage of costs incurred to
balance sheet date to estimated total costs. Selling, general,
and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Profit
incentives are included in revenues, when their realization is reasonably
assured. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted projects are made in
the
period in which such losses are first determined, in the amount of the
estimated loss of the full contract. Differences between estimates and actual
costs and revenues are recognized in the year in which such differences are
determined. The provision for warranties is provided at certain percentage
of
revenues, based on the preliminary calculations and best estimates of the
Company's management.
The
Company is currently under the initial phase as investor in real estate
development and, therefore, no revenue has been recognized from sale of
real estate; however, the Company did realize revenues related to rental
income.
Cost
of revenues
Cost
of
revenues includes the cost of real estate sold and rented as well as costs
directly attributable to the properties sold such as marketing, selling and
depreciation. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, there were no
costs of revenues related to the rental income recorded.
Real
estate
Real
estate held for development is stated at the lower of cost or market. All direct
and indirect costs relating to the Company's development project are capitalized
in accordance with SFAS No. 67 "Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental
Operations of Real Estate Projects". Such standard requires costs associated
with the acquisition, development and construction of real estate and real
estate-related projects to be capitalized as part of that project. The
realization of these costs is predicated on the ability of the Company to
successfully complete and subsequently sell or rent the property.
Treasury
Stock
Treasury
stock is recorded at cost. Issuance of treasury shares is accounted for on
a
first-in, first-out basis. Differences between the cost of treasury shares
and
the re-issuance proceeds are charged to additional paid-in capital.
Foreign
currency translation
The
Company considers the United States Dollar (“US Dollar” or "$") to be the
functional currency of Emvelco and its subsidiaries, with the exception of
Navigator (presented as a discontinued operation) which has the Hungarian Forint
as its functional currency. The reporting currency of the Company is the US
Dollar and accordingly, all amounts included in the consolidated financial
statements have been presented or translated into US Dollars.
Emvelco
Corp.
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
For
non-US subsidiaries that do not utilize the US Dollar as its functional
currency, assets and liabilities are translated to US Dollars at year-end
exchange rates, and income and expense items are translated at weighted-average
rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments are
recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” within stockholders’
equity.
Foreign
currency transaction gains and losses are included in the consolidated results
of operations for the periods presented.
Cash
and cash equivalents
Cash
and
cash equivalents include cash at bank and money market funds with maturities
of
three months or less at the date of acquisition by the Company.
Marketable
securities
The
Company determines the appropriate classification of all marketable securities
as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading at the time of purchase,
and
re-evaluates such classification as of each balance sheet date in accordance
with SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities” (“SFAS 115”). In accordance with Emerging Issues Task
Force (“EITF”) No. 03-01, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and
Its Application to Certain Investment” (“EITF 03-01”), the Company assesses
whether temporary or other-than-temporary gains or losses on its marketable
securities have occurred due to increases or declines in fair value or other
market conditions.
Other
than those classified within discontinued operations (see Note 7), the Company
did not have any marketable securities within continuing operations for the
years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.
Property
and equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. The Company
provides for depreciation of property and equipment using the straight-line
method over the following estimated useful lives:
Software
|
3
years
|
|
3-5
years
|
Other
furniture equipment and fixtures
|
5-7
years
|
The
Company’s policy is to evaluate the appropriateness of the carrying value of
long-lived assets. If such evaluation were to indicate an impairment of assets,
such impairment would be recognized by a write-down of the applicable assets
to
the fair value. Based on the evaluation, no impairment was indicated in
accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets" (“SFAS 144”).
Equipment
purchased under capital leases is stated at the lower of fair value and the
present value of minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease, less
accumulated depreciation. The Company provides for depreciation of leased
equipment using the straight-line method over the shorter of estimated useful
life and the lease term. During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005,
the
Company did not enter into any capital leases.
Emvelco
Corp.
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
Recurring
maintenance on property and equipment is expensed as incurred.
Any
gain
or loss on retirements and disposals is included in the results of operations
in
the period of the retirement or disposal. No retirements and disposals occurred
for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 for the Company’s continuing
operations.
Goodwill
and intangible assets
Goodwill
results from business acquisitions and represents the excess of purchase price
over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired at the acquisition
date.
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”,
goodwill is tested for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Management evaluates the recoverability of goodwill by comparing the carrying
value of the Company’s reporting units to their fair value. Fair value is
determined based on discounted future cash flows. There was no goodwill related
to the Company’s continuing operations for the years ended December 31 2006 and
2005, respectively - other than Navigator which was presented as discontinued
operation, (see Note 8)
Intangible
assets that have finite useful lives, whether or not acquired in a business
combination, are amortized over their estimated useful lives, and also reviewed
for impairment in accordance with SFAS 144. There were no intangible assets
related to the Company’s continuing operations for the years ended December 31,
2006 and 2005, respectively.
Earnings
(loss) per share
Basic
earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) attributable
to
common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the effect of
dilutive potential common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and
warrants. There were no dilutive options and warrants for the year ended 2006
and 2005. Stock options and warrants convertible into 690,125 and 779,067 shares
of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted
earnings per share since such options and warrants have an exercise price in
excess of the average market value of the Company’s common stock during the
periods.
Comprehensive
income
Comprehensive
income includes all changes in equity except those resulting from investments
by
and distributions to owners.
Business
segment reporting
The
Company manages its continuing operations on a geographic basis, and accordingly
had concluded that it has one operating segment, the US.
Emvelco
Corp.
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
Income
taxes
Income
taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts
of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating
loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a
valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all
of
the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities, are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of
a
change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.
Stock-based
compensation
Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based
Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). Under SFAS 123R, the Company is required to
measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of
equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The measured
cost is recognized in the statement of operations over the period during which
an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award.
Additionally, if an award of an equity instrument involves a performance
condition, the related compensation cost is recognized only if it is probable
that the performance condition will be achieved.
Prior
to
the adoption of SFAS 123R , the Company accounted for stock-based employee
compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”
(“APB 25”) and related interpretations, and chose to adopt the disclosure-only
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123,
“Accounting for Stock-based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), as amended by SFAS No.
148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure”
(“SFAS 148”). Under APB 25, the Company did not recognize expense related to
employee stock options because the exercise price of such options was equal
to
the quoted market price of the underlying stock at the grant date.
The
Company adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method, which requires
the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the first
day of the Company’s fiscal year 2006. Under
this method, compensation cost recognized during the year ended December 31,
2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior
to, but not yet vested, as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair
value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123 and
amortized on an straight-line basis over the requisite service period, and
(b)
compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January
1,
2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS 123R amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite
service period. Results for prior periods have not been restated.
As
a
result of adopting SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006, the Company’s loss from
continuing operations before income taxes and loss from continuing operations
are $270,695 higher and net income is $270,695 lower than if it continued to
account for share-based compensation under APB 25. Basic and diluted earnings
per share are $0.05 lower than if the Company continued to account for
share-based compensation under APB 25. The adoption of SFAS 123R had no
impact on cash flows.
Emvelco
Corp.
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
See
Note
12 for a further discussion on stock-based compensation plans.
The
Company estimates the fair value of each option award on the date of the grant
using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Expected volatilities are based
on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over a period
commensurate with the options’ expected term. The expected term represents the
period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding and is
calculated in accordance with SEC guidance provided in the SAB 107, using a
“simplified” method. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon
observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the Company’s stock
options.
The
following table summarizes the weighted-average assumptions used in the
Black-Scholes model for options granted during the year ended December 31,
2005.

The
Company did not grant any share-based payments during the year ended December
31, 2006.
As
noted
above, the Company used the modified prospective method at the date of adoption
and therefore results for the year ended December 31, 2005 have not been
restated. Had compensation expense for share-based payments granted to employees
been determined based on fair value at the grant date consistent with SFAS
123,
net income and earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2005
would have been the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Recently
Issued But Not Yet Adopted Accounting Standards
In
July
2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”)
as an
interpretation of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. This
Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes
recognized by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute
for
the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken
or
expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance
on de-recognition of tax benefits previously recognized and additional
disclosures for unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties. The
evaluation of a tax position in accordance with this Interpretation begins
with
a determination as to whether it is more likely than not that a tax position
will be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the
position. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition
threshold is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater
than
50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement for recognition
in
the financial statements. FIN 48 is effective no later than fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2006, and is required to be adopted by the Company
on January 1, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the
adoption of FIN 48.
In
September 2006, the SEC issued SAB No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior
Year Misstatements when Qualifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial
Statements” (“SAB 108”) which provides interpretive guidance on the
consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current
year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 is
effective for companies with fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006 and
is
required to be adopted by the Company in fiscal 2007. However, early application
is encouraged in any report for an interim period of the first fiscal year
ending after November 15, 2006, filed after the publication of this guidance.
The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of SAB
108.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS
157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures
about
fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting
pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having
previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is
the
relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require
any
new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods
within those fiscal years. This Statement is required to be adopted by the
Company on July 1, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the
adoption of this Statement.
Emvelco
Corp.
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
In
December 2006, the FASB issued Staff Position (“FSP”) EITF 00-19-2, “Accounting
for Registration Payment Arrangements”. This FSP specifies that the contingent
obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under
a
registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or
included as a provision of a financial instrument or other agreement, should
be
separately recognized and measured in accordance with SFAS No. 5,
“Accounting for Contingencies”. The guidance is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2006, with early adoption permitted. The
Company does not plan to early adopt the provisions of this FSP. Management
is
currently evaluating the impact of adopting this Statement.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including
an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities
to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at
fair
value. This statement provides entities the opportunity to mitigate volatility
in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities
differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This
Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that
begins after November 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating the impact
of
adopting this Statement.

Line of Credit and Restricted Cash
On
August
28, 2006, the Company entered into a $4,000,000 Revolving Line of Credit (“line
of credit”) with a commercial bank. As security for this credit facility, the
Company deposited $4,000,000 into a certificate of deposit (“CD”) as collateral
for a two year period. The CD earns interest at a rate of 5.25% annually, and
any interest earned on the CD is restricted from withdrawal and must remain

the account for the entire term. The interest rate on the line of credit is
6%
annually.
On
November 21, 2006, the Company deposited an additional $4,000,000 into another
CD with the same restrictions on withdrawal. This CD matures on November 21,
2008 and the deposit bears an interest rate of 5.12% annually.
The
outstanding balance on the line of credit was $3,000,000 as of December 31,

Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
On
December 31, 2006, Emvelco and TIGH entered into an exchange agreement whereby
ERC issued 1,308 shares of stock, which represents 57% equity interest, to
TIGH
in exchange for 100% of the securities of Verge. After the exchange, Emvelco
owns 43% of ERC, TIGH owns 57% of ERC, and Verge is a 100% subsidiary of ERC.
In
accordance with SAB 51 and SAB 84, Accounting
for Sales of Stock by a Subsidiary,
Emvelco
realized a gain on the exchange transaction for $1,497,565. This gain resulted
in the carrying value of the Emvelco’s investment in ERC for $500,000, which is
the amount Emvelco realized when it sold its remaining interest to TIGH on
May
14, 2007, see Subsequent Events (Note 15)

Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
On
October 11, 2006, the Company committed itself in the financing of Micrologic,
Inc. (“Micrologic”), a Nevada corporation, engaged in the design and production
of Electronic Design Automation (“EDA”) applications and Integrated Circuit
(“IC”) design processes; specifically, the development and production of the
NanoToolBoxTM
tools
suite, which is a smart platform designed to accelerate IC's design time and
shrink time to market factor. The agreement provides for an initial investment
by the Company of up to $1,000,000, with warrants to purchase additional equity
for additional investment. The Company owns 25.10% of Micrologic; however such
equity positions might be revised contingent upon the exercise of the warrants.
As of December 31, 2006, $50,000 was transferred as part of this commitment,
and
no warrants were issued. The Company has currently no influence neither sits
on
the board or management over the operation of Micrologic. As of December 31,
2006, Mirologic has no material income or loss, therefore the $50,000
contributed approximates the value of Emvelco’s interest using the equity
method.

Bank Loans
The
Company’s real estate investment operations require substantial
up-front expenditures for land development contracts and construction.
Accordingly, the Company requires a substantial amount of cash on hand, as
well
as funds accessible through lines of credit with banks or third parties, to
conduct its business. The Company has financed its working capital needs
on a project-by-project basis, primarily with loans from banks and debt via
the
All Inclusive Trust Deed Agreement (AITDA), and with the existing cash of the
Company.

Acquisition
On
December 31, 2006, the Company and its subsidiary ERC entered into an Exchange
Agreement with Verge and its sole shareholder, TIHG. Pursuant to the Exchange
Agreement, ERC issued shares to TIHG in exchange for 100% of the outstanding
securities of Verge. Subsequent to the Exchange Agreement, Emvelco’s ownership
in ERC was diluted to 43.33%, while THIG owned the remaining 56.67%. Verge
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ERC as a result of the transaction.
In
accordance with FAS141, Business
Combinations,
the
transaction was valued based on the fair value of Verge, the acquired company,
which was supported by appraisal.
The
following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the acquired assets

The
vacant land was originally purchased by Verge in 2005, when it was a wholly
owned subsidiary of TIGH, and cost Verge $2,800,000. Verge invested
approximately $3,000,000 in additional expenses, which were incurred to obtain
the proper planning for condominium development through December 30, 2006.
In
November 2006, Verge had a valuation of the vacant property by an independent
third party appraisal company. The vacant land with the proper zoning was
appraised at $10,500,000. At December 31, 2006, when business combination was
effected, the fair value, $10,500,000, of the vacant land was recorded in the
consolidated financial statements of ERC in accordance with FAS141, Business
Combinations,
to
adjust the land value accordingly.

Dispositions
Completed
sale of Euroweb Slovakia
On
April
15, 2005, the Company sold Euroweb Slovakia for $2,700,000 in cash, resulting
in
a gain of $1,701,200.
Completed
sale of Euroweb Hungary and Euroweb Romania
On
December 15, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company decided to sell its
wholly-owned subsidiaries Euroweb Hungary and Euroweb Romania. On December
19,
2005, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with Invitel
Tavkozlesi Szolgaltato Rt., a Hungarian joint stock company, to sell Euroweb
Hungary and Euroweb Romania, subject to various conditions including, but not
limited to, shareholders’ approval. The closing of the sale of Euroweb Hungary
and Euroweb Romania occurred on May 23, 2006 upon the Company’s receipt of the
first part of the purchase price in the amount of $29,400,000. The remaining
part of the purchase price of $613,474 was fully paid in two installments:
$232,536 in June 2006 and $380,938 in the beginning of July 2006. The purchase
price was partly utilized for the repayment of $6,044,870 Commerzbank loan
in
order to ensure debt free status of the subsidiaries, and partly for settlement
of $2,130,466 of transaction costs.
Completed
sale of Navigator
On
February 16, 2007, the Company entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement (the
“Agreement”) with Marivaux Investments Limited (“MIL”) and Fleminghouse
Investments Limited (“FIL” and collectively with MIL, the “Buyers”). Pursuant to
the Agreement, the Company sold 100% of the Company’s interest in Navigator (a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) for $4,034,191 consisting of $3,200,000
in cash and 622,531 shares of the Company’s common stock, excluding estimated
transaction costs, success fees and a guarantee provision of approximately
$124,000. The Company shares were valued at $1.34 per share, representing the
closing price of the Company on the NASDAQ Capital Market on February 16, 2007,
the closing of the sale. The Company intends to cancel the Emvelco common stock
acquired during the disposition.
The
sale
of Euroweb Slovakia, Euroweb Hungary, Euroweb Romania, and Navigator all met
the
criteria for presentation as a discontinued operation under the provisions
of
SFAS 144, and therefore amounts relating to Euroweb Slovakia, Euroweb Hungary,
Euroweb Romania and Navigator have been reclassified as discontinued operations
for all periods presented.

components.
The
provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the
statutory federal income tax rate to the loss from continuing operations before
income taxes. The sources and tax effects of the differences for the years

For
U.S.
Federal income tax purposes, the Company had unused net operating loss
carryforwards at December 31, 2005 of approximately $12.8 million available
to
offset future taxable income. From the $12.8 million of losses, $1.2 million
expire in various years from 2008-2010, $1.6 million expires in 2011, and the
remaining $10 million expire in various years from 2016 through 2025. In
addition, the Company has a capital loss carryover for US income tax purposes
of
approximately $5.4 million. $2.1 million of the loss is from 2004 and will
expire after 2009. The remainder of the capital loss, $3.3 million, will expire
after 2010.
In
May
2006, the Company sold Euroweb Hungary and Euroweb Romania, which resulted
in
the utilization of approximately $10M of the capital loss carryforwards and
net
operating loss carryforwards. As further discussed in Note 8, the results of
operations of Euroweb Hungary and Euroweb Romania are presented as discontinued
operations in the consolidated statements of operations.
The
Tax
Acts of some jurisdictions contain provisions which may limit the net operating
loss and capital loss carryforwards available to be used in any given year
if
certain events occur, including significant changes in ownership interests.
As a
result of various equity transactions, management believes the Company
experienced an “ownership change” in the second half of 2006, as defined by
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, which limits the annual utilization
of
net operating loss carryforwards incurred prior to the ownership change. As
calculated, the Section 382 limitation does not necessarily impact the ultimate
recovery of the U.S. net operating loss, although it will defer the realization
of the tax benefit associated with certain of the net operating loss
carryforwards.
The
Company recorded a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets.
In assessing deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely
than some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The
ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation
of
future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences
and tax loss carryforwards become deductible. Management considers the scheduled
reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax
planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of
historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the
periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes
that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefit
of
these deductible differences, net of existing valuation allowances at December
31, 2006.

Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
Undistributed
earnings of the Company’s indirect investment into foreign subsidiaries are
currently not material. Those earnings are considered to be indefinitely
reinvested; accordingly, no provision for US federal and state income tax has
been provided thereon. Upon repatriation of those earnings, in the form of
dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to both U.S. income taxes
(subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable
to the various foreign countries. Determination of the amount of unrecognized
deferred U.S. income tax liability is not practicable due to the complexities
associated with its hypothetical calculation.

Legal
Proceedings
Except
as
set forth below, there are no known significant legal procedures that have
been
filed and are outstanding against the Company.
From
time
to time, we are a party to litigation or other legal proceedings that we
consider to be a part of the ordinary course of our business. We are not
involved currently in legal proceedings other than detailed below that could
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business,
prospects, financial condition or results of operations. We may become involved
in material legal proceedings in the future.
On
April
26, 2006, a lawsuit was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the "Court")
by
a stockholder of the Company against the Company, each of the Company's
Directors and CORCYRA d.o.o., a stockholder of the Company that beneficially
owned 39.81% of the Company's outstanding common stock at the date of the
lawsuit. The Complaint is entitled Laurence Paskowitz v. Csaba Toro et al.,
C.A.
No. 2110-N and was brought individually, and as a class action on behalf of
certain of the Company's common stockholders, excluding defendants and their
affiliates. The plaintiff alleged that the proposed sale of 100% of the
Company's interest in the Company's two Internet and telecom related operating
subsidiaries (the "Subsidiaries") constitutes a sale of substantially all of
the
Company's assets and required approval by a majority of the voting power of
the
Company's outstanding common stock under Section 271 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law. The plaintiff also alleged the defendants breached their
fiduciary duties in connection with the sale of the Subsidiaries, as well as
the
disclosures contained in the proxy statement filed on April 24, 2006. The
plaintiff applied for a temporary restraining order seeking to enjoin the
special meeting on May 15, 2006.
The
Company denies any and all allegations of wrongdoing; however, in the interests
of conserving resources, on April 28, 2006, the parties to the litigation
entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) providing for, subject to
confirmatory discovery by plaintiff, the negotiation of a formal stipulation
of
a settlement of the litigation. Pursuant to the MOU, the Board of Directors
of
the Company agreed to: (i) increase the vote required to approve the sale of
100% of the Company's interest in the Subsidiaries, (ii) revise the disclosure
within the Proxy Statement to eliminate the bonus of up to US $400,000, which
the Compensation Committee of the Company had the option to pay to select
members of management, as the Board of Directors had previously elected to
terminate the ability to pay such bonus and (iii) provide supplemental
disclosure as contained in the Supplemental Proxy Statement to be mailed to
stockholders and filed with the SEC on May 3, 2006.
Emvelco
Corp.
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
The
parties entered into a stipulation of settlement on April 3, 2007. The
settlement will provide for dismissal of the litigation with prejudice and
is
subject to Court approval. As part of the settlement, the Company has agreed
to
attorneys' fees and expenses to plaintiff's counsel in the amount of $151,000.
Pursuant to the stipulation of settlement, the Company sent out notices to
the
members of the class on May 3, 2007. A fairness hearing will take place on
June
8, 2007.
The
Company filed a Complaint in the Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles,
against an attorney. The case was filed on February 14, 2007, and service of
process has been done. In the Complaint the Company is seeking judgment against
it this attorney in the amount of approximately $250,000, plus interest, costs
and fees. Defendent has not yet appeared in the action. The Company believes
that it has a meritorious claim for the return of monies deposited with
defendent in a trust capacity, and, from the documents in the Company’s
possession, there is no reason to doubt the validity of the claim. However,
management does not have any information on the collectibility of any judgment
that might be entered in Court. During April 2007 defendant returned
approximately $70,000 and the Company has granted him a 15-day extension to
file
his defense.
(d)
Navigator Acquisition
The
Company entered into a registration rights agreement dated July 21, 2005,
whereby it agreed to file a registration statement registering the 441,566
shares of Company common stock issued in connection with the Navigator
acquisition within 75 days of the closing of the transaction. The Company also
agreed to have such registration statement declared effective within 150 days
from the filing thereof. In the event that Company failed to meet its
obligations to register the shares, it may have been required to pay a penalty
equal to 1% of the value of the shares per month. The Company obtained a written
waiver from the seller stating that the seller would not raise any claims in
connection with the filing of registration statement through May 30, 2006.
The
Company since received another waiver extending the registration deadline
through May 30, 2007 without penalty.
(e)

Stock Option Plan and Employee Options
a)
Stock
option plans
In
2004,
the Board of Directors established the “2004 Incentive Plan” (“the Plan”), with
an aggregate of 800,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance under
the
Plan. The Plan was approved by the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders in
May 2004. In 2005, the Plan was adjusted to increase the number of shares of
common stock issuable under such plan from 800,000 shares to 1,200,000 shares.
The adjustment was approved at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders in
June 2005. The Plan provides that incentive and nonqualified options may be
granted to key employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company
for
the purpose of providing an incentive to those persons. The Plan may be
administered by either the Board of Directors or a committee of two directors
appointed by the Board of Directors (the "Committee"). The Board of Directors
or
Committee determines, among other things, the persons to whom stock options
are
granted, the number of shares subject to each option, the date or dates upon
which each option
may be exercised and the exercise price per share.
Options
granted under the Plan are generally exercisable for a period of up to ten
years
from the date of grant. Incentive options granted to stockholders that hold
in excess of 10% of the total combined voting power or value of all classes
of
stock of the Company must have an exercise price of not less than 110% of the
fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of the grant.
The
Company
will not grant a nonqualified option with an exercise price less than 85% of
the
fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant.
The
Company has granted the following options under the Plan:
On
April
26, 2004, the Company granted 125,000 options to its Chief Executive Officer,
an
aggregate of 195,000 options to five employees and an aggregate of 45,000
options to two consultants of the Company (which do not qualify as employees).
The stock options granted to the Chief Executive Officer vest at the rate of
31,250 options on November 1, 2004, October 1, 2005, October 1, 2006 and October
1, 2007. The stock options granted to the other employees and consultants vest
at the rate of 80,000 options on November 1, 2004, October 1, 2005 and October
1, 2006. The exercise price of the options ($4.78) was equal to the market
price
on the date of grant. The options granted to the Chief
Executive Officer
were
forfeited/ cancelled in August 2006 due to the termination of his employment.
Of
the 195,000 options originally granted to employees, 60,000 options were
forfeited or cancelled during 2005, while the remaining 135,000 options were
forfeited or cancelled in August 2006 due to termination of the five employee
contracts. 15,000
options granted to one of the consultants were also forfeited or cancelled
in
April 2006 due to the termination of the consultant’s contract.

Corp.
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statement
Through
December 31, 2005, the Company did not recognize compensation expense under
APB
25 for the options granted to the Chief Executive Officer and the five employees
as the options had a zero intrinsic value at the date of grant. The adoption
of
SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006 resulted in a compensation charge of $21,241 for
the year ended December 31, 2006.
In
accordance with SFAS 123, as amended by SFAS 123R, and EITF Issue No. 96-18,
“Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for
Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”, the Company
computed total compensation charges of $162,000 for the grants made to the
two
consultants. Such compensation charges are recognized over the vesting period
of
three years. Compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 was
$9,921 (2005: $50,884).
On
March
22, 2005, the Company granted an aggregate of 200,000 options to two of the
Company’s Directors. These stock options vest at the rate of 50,000 options on
each September 22 of 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. The exercise
price
of the options ($3.40) was equal to the market price on the date the options
were granted. Through December 31, 2005, the Company did not recognize
compensation expense under APB 25 as the options had a zero intrinsic value
at
the date of grant. The adoption of SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006 resulted in
a
compensation charge of $128,284 for the year ended December 31, 2006. One of
the
directors was elected as Chief Executive Officer from August 14,
2006.
On
June
2, 2005, the Company granted 100,000 options to a director of the Company,
which
vest at the rate of 25,000 options on December 2 of 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008,
respectively. Through December 31, 2005, the Company did not recognize
compensation expense under APB 25 as the options had a zero intrinsic value
at
the date of grant. The adoption of SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006 resulted in
a
compensation charge of $89,346 for the year ended December 31, 2006. On November
13, 2006, the Director filed his resignation. His options were vested
unexercised in February 2007.
On
October 13, 2003, the Company granted two Directors 100,000 options each, at
an
exercise price (equal to the market price on that day) of $4.21 per share,
with
25,000 options vesting on each April 13, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. There were
100,000 options outstanding as of December 31, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 123R
on January 1, 2006 resulted in a compensation charge of $31,824 during the
year
ended December 31, 2006.

over the performance period of one year. In February 2006, the Company
terminated its contract with the consultant company providing investor relation
services. The warrants granted under the contract were reduced
time-proportionally to 83,330, based on the time in service by the consultant
company.

Related party transactions
On
October 3, 2006, ERC entered into an Operating Agreement with D’Vora Attia
(“D’Vora”), an individual, to adjust the ownership interest of Stanley Hills LLC
(“Stanley LLC”), a Nevada limited liability company. Stanley LLC will develop
three adjacent single family residences located at 2234 and 2240 Stanley Hills
Drive and 2214 N. Merrywood Drive, Los Angeles, California 90046 (the “Stanley
Property”). ERC owns 66.67% of the outstanding interest of the Stanley LLC,
while D’Vora owns the remaining interest. D’vora owned the Stanley Property
prior to the purchase by the Stanley LLC and is the sister of Yossi Attia,
CEO
of the Company. The structuring of the Stanley LLC was negotiated as an arm
length transaction and was based on a current appraisal received from an
independent third party. At December 31, 2006, the outstanding balance on the
purchase price of the Stanley Property payable to D’Vora was $308,321, which was
paid on February 2007.
