WWA GROUP, INC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2011
WWA Group, Inc., (WWA Group) is a Nevada corporation with operations primarily consisting of developing its subsidiary and assisting in the growth of its investment entity.
Prior to October 31, 2010, WWA Group operated in Jebel Ali, Dubai, United Arab Emirates (U.A.E) under a trade license from the Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority. Operations consisted of auctioning used and new heavy construction equipment, transportation equipment and marine equipment, the majority of which on a consignment basis. On October 31, 2010, WWA Group sold its 100% interest in its wholly owned subsidiaries, World Wide Auctioneers, Ltd, and Crown Investments, Ltd., to Seven International Holdings, Ltd. (Seven), a Hong Kong based investment company, for an assumption by Seven of all the assets and liabilities of the World Wide subject to certain exceptions. The disposition did not affect WWA Groups interest in Asset Forum, LLC., its ownership of proprietary on-line auction software, or its equity interest or debt position in Infrastructure Developments Corp. (Infrastructure) in which it currently holds an unconsolidated 17.75% equity position.
On April 14, 2010, Intelspec International, Inc. (Intelspec), our minority owned unconsolidated subsidiary, concluded an share exchange agreement with Infrastructure, a publicly traded company, pursuant to which Intelspec became a subsidiary of Infrastructure. WWA Group acquired an approximately 22% interest in Infrastructure as a result of the transaction. In July 2010, WWA Group sold 4 million shares of Infrastructure at a value of $320,000 reducing WWA Groups investment to 17.75%.
NOTE B Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, they do not include any adjustments relating to the realization of the carrying value of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should WWA Group be unable to continue as a going concern. WWA Group has accumulated losses and cash flows from operations are negative which raises doubt as to the validity of the going concern assumptions. These financials include impairments to the carrying value of the assets but do not include any adjustments to the carrying value of liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses and balance sheet classifications used that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate; such adjustments could be material.
NOTE C - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
This summary of significant accounting policies of WWA Group and its subsidiaries is presented to assist in understanding WWA Groups financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of WWA Groups management who is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of the financial statements. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2011
NOTE C - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements present the financial position, results of operation, changes in stockholders equity and cash flows of WWA Group and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in entities in which WWA Group can exercise significant influence, but does not own a majority equity interest or otherwise control, are accounted for using the equity method and are included as investments in equity interests on the consolidated balance sheets. Effective July 1, 2009, WWA Group adopted the Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification), as issued by the FASB. The Codification became the single source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the U.S.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
WWA Group considers all highly liquid investments purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
WWA Group grants credit terms in the normal course of business to its customers. Accounts receivables are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances after discounts and bad debts, taking into account credit worthiness of customers and history of collection.
The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on specifically identified amounts that management believes to be uncollectible. If actual collections experience changes, revisions to the allowance may be required. No allowance for doubtful accounts is provided as company is collecting amount without default.
Inventory
Inventories consist of equipment to be sold in auctions and otherwise, stated at the lower of cost or market. The cost is determined by specific identification method. Cost includes purchase price, freight, insurance, duties and other incidental expenses incurred in bringing inventories to their present location and condition. WWA Group records a reserve if the fair value of inventory is determined to be less than the cost.
Property and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation and provision for impairment where appropriate. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three to five years except for the vessel in which case the estimated useful life is twenty years. All repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

WWA GROUP, INC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2011
NOTE C - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Investment in Related Party Entity
WWA Group did not have any investment in a related party as of March 31, 2011. On October 31, 2010 WWA Group sold all related party investments as a part of sale of Dubai operations. Until October 31, 2010 WWA Group accounted for its equity investment in a foreign affiliate using the fair value measurement principles. WWA Group reviews its investments annually for impairment and records permanent impairments as a loss on the income statement.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. WWA Group records a valuation allowance against particular deferred income tax assets if it is more likely than not that those assets will not be realized. The provision for income taxes comprises WWA Groups current tax liability and change in deferred income tax assets and liabilities.
Significant judgment is required in evaluating WWA Groups uncertain tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. WWA Group establishes reserves for tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. These reserves are established when WWA Group believes that certain positions might be challenged despite its belief that its tax return positions are in accordance with applicable tax laws. WWA Group adjusts these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit, new tax legislation, or the change of an estimate. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will affect the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made. The provision for income taxes includes the effect of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that are considered appropriate, as well as the related net interest and penalties.
Share-Based Compensation
For stock-based awards granted on or after January 1, 2006, WWA Group records stock-based compensation expense based on the grant date fair value, estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 and ASC 505-50.
WWA Group issued no compensatory options to its employees during the quarter ended March 31, 2011.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

WWA GROUP, INC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2011
NOTE C - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Recent accounting pronouncements
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued amended standards that require additional fair value disclosures. These amended standards require disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value, as well as disclosures about significant transfers, beginning in the first quarter of 2010. Additionally, these amended standards require presentation of
disaggregated activity within the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), beginning in the first quarter of 2011.
In December 2010, the FASB updated its guidance related to when to perform step two of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. The updated guidance requires that for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that impairment may exist. The updated guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. WWA Groups adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
In December 2010, the FASB updated its guidance related to disclosure of supplementary pro forma information for business combinations. The updated guidance requires that if comparative financial statements are presented, the pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the comparable prior reporting period should be reported as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the current year had been as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The updated guidance is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. WWA Groups adoption did not have an impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial condition as the updated guidance only affects disclosures related to future business combinations.
Note D Non-Current Notes Receivable
Non-current notes receivable include $1,221,000 in advances provided to Intelspec, which operates an international project management company in Thailand and rock crushing and stone quarry in UAE. These notes bore no interest and were payable on demand. During the period the notes were renegotiated into a note payable at 6% interest per annum due in two years. Accordingly the notes were reclassified as a non-current note receivable.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2011
Note E Asset Impairment
At December 31, 2010, WWA Group had notes receivable of $2,932,003 which consisted of $2,442,000 to Intelspec and $490,000 to WWA Groups Australian customers.
During the three months period ended March 31, 2011, the valuation of the Intelspec notes were reduced by one half due to that Companys historical inability to pay the amounts due and the valuation of notes due from WWA Groups Australian associates were eliminated due to their own insolvency issues.
These triggering events necessitated the evaluation of notes receivable from these organizations. In assessing impairments for long-lived assets we follow the provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
In performing the test, we determined that the total of the expected future undiscounted cash flows directly related to the existing notes receivable was less than the carrying value of the asset; therefore, an impairment charge was required. The impairment charges of $1,711,003 represented the difference between the fair values of the asset and its carrying values and are included within asset impairment in the consolidated statements of operations.
Note F Subsequent Events
WWA Group evaluated its March 31, 2011 financial statements for subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. WWA Group is not aware of any subsequent events through May 13, 2011, which would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Effective October 31, 2010, WWA Group concluded a Share Purchase Agreement to sell World Wide Auctioneers, Ltd. (World Wide) to Seven International Holdings, Ltd. WWA Groups management agreed to assist in the management of World Wide during a transitional period that extended until April 30, 2011. The disposition of World Wide did not affect WWA Groups interest in Asset Forum, its ownership of proprietary on-line auction software, or its equity interest or debt position in Infrastructure in which it currently holds an unconsolidated 17.75% equity position.
WWA Group intends to focus its efforts on marketing and building Asset Forums business. We also expect to expand the application of our proprietary on-line auction system software to other asset segments. Infrastructure is currently pursuing larger projects with greater returns in expanded markets which we anticipate will provide a return of on our investment. We are also targeting operating businesses and assets that will provide us an opportunity for development into near term revenues.
Our financial condition and results of operations will depend primarily on prospective income generated from Asset Forum and any return on our investment in Infrastructure. Meanwhile, our continued operation is tied to our ability to realize debt or equity financing. Since WWA Group is currently without income it can provide no assurance that income will be forthcoming or in the event revenue is realized that such return will provide sufficient cash flows to sustain our operations. WWA Group has no commitments for additional debt or equity financing at this time.
WWA Groups business development strategy is prone to significant risks and uncertainties which are having an immediate impact on our efforts to realize net cash flow. We have a limited history of generating income from our equity investments and are yet to generate income from the operations of Asset Forum. Should we be unable to generate income or reduce expenses to the point where we meet operating expenses, WWA Groups ability to continue its business operations will be in jeopardy.

Results of Operations
During the three month period ended March 31, 2011, WWA Group (i) continued early development of Asset Forum, (ii) sought construction management projects for the benefit of Infrastructure, (iii) began the search for a business opportunity for development, merger or acquisition, (iv) continued discussion with Office of Foreign Assets Control regarding International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. §§ 1701 et seq. in connection with the facilitation of auction related services to Iran and Sudan (see Legal Proceedings, below), and (v) satisfied continuous public disclosure requirements.
Net Loss
Net loss for the period ended March 31, 2011 increased to $1,716,837 from $1,260,199 for the period ended March 31, 2010. The increase in net loss over the comparative periods can be attributed to the impairment of notes receivable from Intelspec and our Australian associates. WWA Group anticipates that it will continue to realize net losses through 2011 or until such time as Asset Forum realizes revenue or WWA Group realizes a return on its equity investment in Infrastructure.
Revenue
Revenue for the period ended March 31, 2011 decreased to $0 from $5,802,081 for the period ended March 31, 2010.The decrease in revenues over the comparative periods can be attributed to the sale of World Wide at October 31, 2010. WWA Group expects revenue to remain at $0 until such time as Asset Forum realizes revenue.
Gross profit for the period ended March 31, 2011 decreased to $0 from $427,738 for the period ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in gross profit over the comparative periods can be attributed to the sale of World Wide at October 31, 2010.
Operating expenses for the period ended March 31, 2011 decreased to $5,832 from $1,305,366 for the period ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in expenses over the comparative periods are attributed to the sale of World Wide at October 31, 2010. The major components of operating expenses are (i) general and administrative expenses, including professional fees, rent expense, travel and entertainment, representation expense, insurance, bank charges, and maintenance expenses, (ii) salaries and wages, (iii) selling expenses, and (iv) depreciation and amortization. WWA Group anticipates that operating expenses will increase during 2011 as capital becomes available to focus on the activities of Asset Forum.
Depreciation and amortization expenses for the period ended March 31, 2011 decreased to $0 from $216,424 for the period ended March 31, 2010. Depreciation and amortization expenses are expected to continue to remain at $0 through 2011.
Other Expenses
Other expenses for the period ended March 31, 2011, increased to $1,711,003 from $382,571 for the period ended March 31, 2010 due primarily to the impairment of notes receivable from Intelspec and our Australian associates.
13
WWA Group has a prospective income tax benefit resulting from a net operating loss carry-forward and start up costs that will offset any future operating profit.
Impact of Inflation
WWA Group believes that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations over the past three years.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had a working capital surplus of $159,796 as of March 31, 2011. At March 31, 2011, our current assets were $268,655, which consisted of $3,820 in cash and $264,835 in other current assets. Our total assets were $2,708,874, which included current assets, non-current notes receivable, and investments in equity interests. Our current and total liabilities were $105,039. Our total stockholders equity at March 31, 2011, was $2,603,835.
Cash flow used in operating activities for the period ended March 31, 2011 was $15 as compared to $2,759,993 for the period ended March 31, 2010. The change in cash flow provided by operating activities between the periods can be attributed to the sale of World Wide which made up the bulk of our operating activities in the prior period. We do not expect to provide cash flows from operations in 2011.
Cash flow used in investing activities for the period ended March 31, 2011 was $0 as compared to $438,709 for the period ended March 31, 2011. Investing activities in the prior period relates to the purchase of property and equipment, and increase in note receivable amounts, and proceeds from the sale of fixed assets. We do not expect to use cash flows in investing activities going forward as we move to expand on the operations of Asset Forum.
Cash flow used in financing activities was $0 for the period ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $2,390,003 for the period ended March 31, 2010. Financing activities in the prior period relates to a decrease in a line of credit, payments on short-term notes, and payments on long-term debt. We do not expect to generate cash flows provided by financing activities in the near term.
Our current assets are insufficient to conduct business over the next twelve (12) months. We will have to seek at least $250,000 in debt or equity financing over the next twelve months to fund the development of Asset Forum. WWA Group has no current commitments or arrangements with respect to, or immediate sources of this funding. Further, no assurances can be given that funding is available. Our shareholders are the most likely source of new funding in the form of loans or equity placements though none have made any commitment for future investment and we have no agreement formal or otherwise. Our inability to obtain sufficient funding to develop Asset Forum will have a material adverse affect on our ability to generate revenue and our ability to continue operations.
WWA Group does not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
WWA Group had no commitments for future capital expenditures that were material at March 31, 2011.
WWA Group has no defined benefit plan or contractual commitment with any of its officers or directors.
WWA Group had no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements as of March 31, 2011.

WWA Group has no current plans for the purchase or sale of any plant or equipment.
WWA Group has no current plans to make any changes in the number of employees.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2011, WWA Group has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
In Note B to the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 included in WWA Groups Form 10-K, we discuss those accounting policies that are considered to be significant in determining the results of operations and our financial position. We believe that the accounting principles utilized by us conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, warranty obligations, product liability, revenue, and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and other facts and circumstances that are believed to be reasonable, and the results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. The actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. With respect to revenue recognition, we apply the following critical accounting policies in the preparation of its financial statements
Forward Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition
The statements contained in the section titled Results of Operations and Description of Business, with the exception of historical facts, are forward looking statements. A safe-harbor provision may not be applicable to the forward-looking statements made in this current report. Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations and beliefs regarding our future results of operations, performance, and achievements. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and are based upon assumptions and beliefs that may or may not materialize. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning:
· our anticipated financial performance;
· the sufficiency of existing capital resources;
· our ability to fund cash requirements for future operations;
· uncertainties related to the growth of our subsidiaries businesses and the acceptance of their products and services;
· the volatility of the stock market; and
· general economic conditions.
15
We wish to caution readers that our operating results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those discussed or anticipated, including the factors set forth in the section entitled Risk Factors included elsewhere in this report. We also wish to advise readers not to place any undue reliance on the forward looking statements contained in this report, which reflect our beliefs and expectations only as of the date of this report. We assume no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances or any changes in our beliefs or expectations, other than is required by law.
Going Concern
WWA Groups auditors have expressed an opinion as to its ability to continue as a going concern as a result of recurring losses from operations. WWA Groups ability to continue as a going concern is subject to its ability to realize a profit from operations and /or obtain funding from outside sources. Managements plan to address WWA Groups ability to continue as a going concern includes: (i) obtaining funding from the private placement of debt or equity; (ii) realizing revenues from the activities of Asset Forum; and (iii) obtaining loans and grants from financial or government institutions. Management believes that it will be able to obtain funding to enable WWA Group to continue as a going concern through the methods discussed above, though there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.
Please see Note C to our consolidated financial statements for recent accounting pronouncements.
We have adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic (ASC) 718, Share-Based Payment, which addresses the accounting for stock-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprises equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments.
We account for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with ASC 505. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In connection with the preparation of this report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by WWA Groups management, with the participation of the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of WWA Groups disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act)). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commissions rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Based on that evaluation, WWA Groups management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that WWA Groups disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the Commissions rules and forms, and that such information was accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the period ended March 31, 2011, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, WWA Groups internal control over financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On August 5, 2009 WWA Group, Inc. received a Pre-Penalty Notice (Notice) from the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). The Notice was issued based on OFACs belief that WWA Group has engaged in certain transactions prohibited by Executive Order(s) and or Regulations promulgated pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. §§ 1701 et seq. in connection with the facilitation of auction related services to Iran and Sudan. The perceived violations have caused OFAC to propose a civil monetary penalty be imposed on WWA Group. Due to the passage of statute of limitations and mitigating factors, the base penalty OFAC seeks to impose is $3,438,600, which amount may be reduced by an additional 10% if WWA Group enters into a settlement agreement with OFAC. WWA Group continues the process of negating the basis for the proposed penalty and is in discussions to further mitigate the proposed penalty.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
WWA Groups operations and securities are subject to a number of risks. Below we have identified and discussed the material risks that we are likely to face. Should any of the following risks occur, they will adversely affect our operations, business, financial condition and/or operating results as well as the future trading price and/or the value of our securities.
17
Risks Related to WWA Groups Business
Sales of equipment from our auctions may have ultimately ended up in Iran, Sudan or Syria.
Due to the proximity of Iran, Sudan and Syria to our auction site, sales records, and statistics on regional spending for used construction equipment, there is reason to believe that some percentage of the equipment sold at our auctions prior to May 2007 may have ultimately ended up in Iran, Sudan or Syria. Although we have never sold equipment to Iran, Sudan or Syria, countries which the U.S. State Department and OFAC have identified as state sponsors of terrorism, and we have never made any effort to attract consignors or bidders from any country recognized as a state sponsor of terrorism, it is possible that some equipment purchased at our auctions was sold to persons or entities that re-exported such equipment to these countries, particularly to Iran. Our records indicate as follows:
Sales between March 2001 and May 2007 to persons or entities with addresses in countries deemed State Sponsors of Terrorism by the U.S. State Department and OFAC | ||
Address of registered bidder |
Sales |
Percentage of total sales* |
Iran |
$7,300,000 |

$9,350,250 |
1.8% |
* Total gross auction sales and private sales by WWA Group were approximately
$519,600,000 between 2001 and May of 2007
Our records indicate that approximately 1.8% of our total gross auction sales and private sales were to persons or entities with address in Iran, Sudan or Syria between March 2001 and May 2007.We do not believe that this percentage of sales had any impact on our operations, reputation or on shareholder value. However, despite the fact that WWA Group has no knowledge of delivery of equipment purchased at its auctions to Iran, Sudan or Syria, OFAC proposed that a fine be imposed on WWA Group related to a violation of Iranian Transactions Regulations and an apparent violation of Sudanese Sanctions Regulations. Due to the passage of statute of limitations and mitigating factors, the base penalty OFAC seeks to impose is $3,438,600, which amount may be reduced by an additional 10% if WWA Group enters into a settlement agreement with OFAC. WWA Group continues the process of negating the basis for the proposed penalty and is in discussions to further mitigate the proposed penalty. The imposition of such a penalty would diminish WWA Groups ability to continue as a going concern.
A significant percentage of corporate control lies in the hands of one shareholder.
Asia8, Inc. owns and controls voting power over nearly 32% of WWA Groups issued and outstanding stock. The concentration of such a large percentage of our stock in the hands of one shareholder may have a disproportionate effect on the voting power of minority shareholders on any and all matters presented to WWA Groups shareholders.
18
Our chief executive officer does not offer his undivided attention to WWA Group due to his dual responsibilities.
Our chief executive officer does not offer his undivided attention to our business as he also serves as the chief executive officer of Asia8, Inc. His responsibilities cause him to divide his time between the two entities. The division of time however does not necessarily indicate a division of interests since Asia8, Inc., owns approximately 32% of the outstanding shares of WWA Group. Nonetheless, his dual responsibilities may compromise WWA Groups ability to successfully conduct its business operations.
WWA Group is dependent upon key personnel.
WWA Groups performance and operating results are substantially dependent on the continued service and performance of our officers and directors. We intend to hire additional technical, sales, managerial and other personnel as we move forward with our business model. Competition for such personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that we can retain our key employees, or that we will be able to attract or retain highly qualified personnel in the future. The loss of the services of any of our key employees or the inability to attract and retain the necessary personnel could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition, operating results, and cash flows.
Our business is subject to governmental regulations.
International, national and local standards set by governmental regulatory authorities set the regulations by which products are certified across respective territories. Further, climate change legislation and greenhouse gas regulation is becoming increasingly ubiquitous. The products that we intend to distribute are subject to such regulation in addition to national, state and local taxation. Although we believe that we can successfully distribute our products within current governmental regulations it is possible that regulatory changes could negatively impact our operations and cause us to diminish or cease operations.
Climate change legislation or regulations restricting emissions of greenhouse gases could result in increased operating costs related to reducing the emission of the green house gases.
On December 15, 2009, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) officially published its findings that emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases present an endangerment to human health and the environment because emissions of such gases are contributing to warming of the Earths atmosphere and other climatic changes. These findings by the EPA allow the agency to proceed with the adoption and implementation of regulations that would restrict emissions of greenhouse gases under existing provisions of the federal Clean Air Act. In late September 2009, the EPA had proposed two sets of regulations in anticipation of finalizing its findings that would require a reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases from motor vehicles and that could also lead to the imposition of greenhouse gas emission limitations in Clean Air Act permits for certain stationary sources. In addition, on September 22, 2009, the EPA issued a final rule requiring the reporting of greenhouse gas emissions from specified large greenhouse gas emission sources in the United States beginning in 2011 for emissions occurring in 2010. The adoption and implementation of any regulations over greenhouse gases could require us to incur costs to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases that may be associated with our operations.
19
Risks Related to WWA Groups Stock
The market for our stock is limited and our stock price may be volatile.
The market for our common stock has been limited due to low trading volume and the small number of brokerage firms acting as market makers. Because of the limitations of our market and volatility of the market price of our stock, investors may face difficulties in selling shares at attractive prices when they want to. The average daily trading volume for our stock has varied significantly from week to week and from month to month, and the trading volume often varies widely from day to day.
We incur significant expenses as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which expenses may continue to negatively impact our financial performance.
We incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as related rules implemented by the Commission, which control the corporate governance practices of public companies. Compliance with these laws, rules and regulations, including compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as discussed in the following risk factor, has substantially increased our expenses, including legal and accounting costs, and made some activities more time-consuming and costly.
Our internal controls over financial reporting may not be considered effective in the future, which could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and in turn have an adverse effect on our stock price.
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 we are required to furnish a report by our management on our internal controls over financial reporting. Such report must contain, among other matters, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of the end of the year, including a statement as to whether or not our internal controls over financial reporting are effective. This assessment must include disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting identified by management. If we are unable to continue to assert that our internal controls are effective, our investors could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline.
WWA Group does not pay dividends.
WWA Group does not pay dividends. We have not paid any dividends since inception and have no intention of paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future dividends would be at the discretion of our board of directors and would depend on, among other things, future earnings, our operating and financial condition, our capital requirements, and general business conditions. Therefore, shareholders should not expect any type of cash flow from their investment.
WWA Group will require additional capital funding.
WWA Group will require additional funds in the form of additional equity offerings or debt placements, to maintain operations. Such additional capital may result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, our ability to meet short-term and long-term financial commitments will depend on future cash. There can be no assurance that future income will generate sufficient funds to enable us to meet our financial commitments.
20
If the market price of our common stock declines as the selling security holders sell their stock, selling security holders or others may be encouraged to engage in short selling, depressing the market price.
The significant downward pressure on the price of the common stock as the selling security holders sell material amounts of common stock could encourage short sales by the selling security holders or others. Short selling is the selling of a security that the seller does not own, or any sale that is completed by the delivery of a security borrowed by the seller. Short sellers assume that they will be able to buy the stock at a lower amount than the price at which they sold it short. Significant short selling of a companys stock creates an incentive for market participants to reduce the value of that companys common stock. If a significant market for short selling our common stock develops, the market price of our common stock could be significantly depressed.
WWA Groups common stock is currently deemed to be penny stock, which makes it more difficult for investors to sell their shares.
WWA Groups common stock is and will be subject to the penny stock rules adopted under section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules apply to companies whose common stock is not listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market or other national securities exchange and trades at less than $5.00 per share or that have tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than established customers complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If WWA Group remains subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for WWA Groups securities. If WWA Groups securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of WWA Groups securities.
