Liquidity And Capital Resources
Cash And Working Capital
We
had cash of $60,524 as at June 30, 2004, compared with cash of $52,075 as at
December 31, 2003. Our working capital deficit decreased to $15,227 as at June
30, 2004, compared to a working capital deficit of $1,265,833 as at December
31, 2003. The decrease in our working capital deficit was primarily attributed
to our agreement with Eyewonder during the quarter, pursuant to which we prepaid
$770,000 towards the communications component of the agreement.
Liabilities
The
largest component of our working capital deficit are accounts payable and accrued
liabilities in the amount of $1,359,625 as at June 30, 2004 including amounts
payable to related parties, compared to $1,616,118 as at December 31, 2003.
Cash
Used in Operating Activities
Cash
used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $475,306
compared to $605,346 for the comparative period in 2003, representing a decrease
of $130,040 or 21%.
Cash
Provided By Financing Activities
We
have continued to finance our business primarily through private placement sales
of our common stock, exercises of stock options, short term loans, conversion
of accrued liabilities into stock and through increases in our accrued liabilities
and accounts payable. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months
ended June 30, 2004 was $470,387, compared to $51,704 for the six months ended
June 30, 2003.
Financing
activities included the issuance of common stock for aggregate proceeds of $470,387
during the six months ended June 30, 2004 in private placement and other financing
transactions. The private placement transactions
32
included the issue of an aggregate of 566,833 shares of our
common stock and associated share purchase warrants, representing an average
price of $0.25 per share. During the three months ended June 30, 2004 we issued
4,200,000 and 300,000 shares upon exercise of options with an exercise price
of $0.165 per share and $0.20 per share, respectively. All shares issued pursuant
to stock option exercises during our first quarter were registered on Form S-8
registration statements that we filed with the SEC. During the three months
ended June 30, 2004 we made the following issuances: 50,000 restricted shares
of our common stock at a price of $0.22 per share in payment of consulting fees
to a consultant; 1,266,589 restricted shares of our common stock to Cornell
in payment of certain fees owed to Cornell under the terms of the Standby Equity
Agreement; and 33,411 restricted shares of our common stock to Newbridge under
the terms of the Placement Agent Agreement. During the three months ended June
30, 2004 we issued 5,476,190 restricted shares of our common stock to Eyewonder,
Inc. in payment of fees. During the six months ended June 30, 2004 we issued
350,000 restricted shares of our common stock at a price of $0.28 per share
in payment of consulting fees to two consultants.On June 22, 2004, we issued
a secured convertible debenture to Cornell Capital Partners in the principal
amount of $250,000. The secured convertible debentures are convertible at the
holder’s option any time up to maturity at a conversion price equal to
the lower of (i) 120% of the closing bid price of the common stock as of the
date of issuance, or (ii) 80% of the average of the lowest daily volume weighted
average price of our common stock for the 5 trading days immediately preceding
the conversion date. At maturity, the remaining unpaid principal and accrued
interest under the debentures shall be, at our option, either paid or converted
into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i)
120% of the closing bid price of the common stock as of the date of issuance
or (ii) 80% of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock for the lowest
trading days of the 5 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date.
The secured convertible debenture is secured by all of EYI Industries’
assets. The secured convertible debentures accrues interest at a rate of 5%
per year and has a term of 3 years. In the event the secured convertible debentures
are redeemed, then EYI Industries will issue to Cornell Capital Partners a warrant
to purchase 50,000 shares for every $100,000 redeemed at an exercise price of
120% of the closing bid price as of June 22, 2004. Cornell Capital Partners
purchased the secured convertible debentures from EYI Industries in a private
placement on June 22, 2004. EYI Industries is registering in this offering 8,352,823
shares of common stock underlying the secured convertible debentures. EYI Industries
received $250,000 from the issuance of the first secured convertible debenture
on June 22, 2004, and we will receive $250,000 5 business days following the
filing of the accompanying registration statement.
Financing Requirements
We
currently have minimal cash and working capital resources. We do not have adequate
financial resources in order to enable us to continue our business operations
without additional financing. Our current sources of working capital are sufficient
to satisfy our anticipated working capital needs for approximately the next
twenty-two weeks. As of August 24, 2004, we estimate that we will require $1,800,000
to fund our operating expenses for the next twelve months. We may not be able
to obtain additional working capital on acceptable terms, or at all. Accordingly,
there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We
will require additional financing if we are to continue as a going concern and
to finance our business operations. We anticipate that any additional financing
would be through the sales of our common or preferred stock or placement of
convertible debt. We are presently in the process of negotiating private placements
of our securities to raise working capital to finance our operations. However,
we do not have any arrangements in place for the sale of any of our securities
and there is no assurance that we will be able to raise the additional capital
that we require to continue operations. In the event that we are unable to raise
additional financing on acceptable terms, then we may have to scale back our
plan of operations and operating expenditures. We anticipate that we will continue
to incur losses until such time as the revenues we are able to generate from
sales and licensing of our products exceed our increased operating expenses.
We base this expectation in part on the expectation that we will incur increased
operating expenses in completing our stated plan of operations and there is
no assurance that we will generate revenues that exceed these expenses.
On
June 22, 2004, we entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement with
Cornell Capital Partners. Pursuant to the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement,
we may, at our discretion, periodically issue and sell shares of our common
stock for a total purchase price of $10 million. If we request advances under
the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, Cornell Capital partners will purchase
shares of common stock of EYI Industries for 98% of the lowest volume weighted
average price on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or other principal market
on which our common stock is traded for the 5 days immediately following the
advance notice date. Cornell Capital Partners will retain 5% of each advance
under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. We may not request advances
in excess of a total of $10 million. The maximum of each advance is equal to
$250,000.
