ELEMENT 21 GOLF COMPANY
(FORMERLY BRL HOLDING, INC.)
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2003
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 NATURE OF BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
The Company
Element 21 Golf Company and subsidiary (a development stage enterprise) (the “Company” and or “Element 21”) design develop and expect to market Scandium alloy golf products. The first products manufactured using Company’s proprietary technology have been recently produced and will soon be test marketed for distribution to wholesalers and retail markets.
Element 21 was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on June 26, 1986 and, until October 2003, was doing business under the name BRL Holdings, Inc. The Company owns 100% of Element 21 Technologies, Inc. a development stage company that holds the license to use the proprietary Scandium alloy technology, 34.2% of AssureTec Holdings Inc. (”AssureTec” Formerly Tech Ventures, Inc.), which includes the ownership of 100% of both Advanced Conductor Technologies, Inc. and IJAM Enterprises, Inc., both of which have never had operations. The Company is in the process of spinning out AssureTec to shareholders of record on October 25, 2002. In December 2003, AssureTec filed a Form 10SB with the SEC to become a reporting company. Commencing with quarter ending December 31, 2003 AssureTec began filing quarterly reports with the SEC on Form 10QSB. On March 31, 2004 AssureTec completed a common stock and common stock equivalent share exchange with individual stockholders of AssureTec Systems (the “Share Exchange”) wherein AssureTec acquired the remaining 65.8% ownership of AssureTec Systems, resulting in Element 21’s ownership percentage dropping to the current 34.2%.
Element 21 is considered to be a development stage enterprise because it has not generated revenues from products that have been developed to date. The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other companies in the early stage of development. Principal among these risks are dependencies on key individuals, competition from other current or substitute products and larger companies, the successful development and marketing of its products and the need to obtain adequate financing necessary to fund future operations. Recently, certain consultants who are also stockholders of the Company advanced moneys to allow the Company to acquire aluminum Scandium alloy concentrate from Russia and to acquire critical lateral forging equipment made in the US, both of which were shipped to South Korea to enable the production of Scandium alloy golf shafts.
The accompanying un-audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the books and records of Element 21 on the same basis as the annual financial statements and are consistent with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Rule 310 of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements at and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. In the opinion of management, all significant adjustments that are normal, recurring in nature and necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, cash flows and results of the operations of the Company, have been consistently recorded. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of expected performance for the entire year ended June 30, 2004.
7 |
Note 2 Inventories
The amount of $267,000 during the quarter by consultants and stockholders to acquire master Scandium/aluminum alloy that was shipped directly to the Company’s manufacturer in Seoul, Korea. The first 500 Scandium alloy shafts were manufactured and delivered from South Korea to the Company at the end of the quarter that are being tested by representatives of the Company. The Company has not yet completed full acceptance of the shafts. Inventory costs have been increased to reflect these items.
Note 3 Equipment
During the third quarter ending March 31, 2004 certain consultants and stockholders acquired, for the benefit of the Company, lateral forging equipment tooling on behalf of the Company in the amount of $125,000. This equipment, manufactured in the US, was delivered to the Company’s manufacturer in Seoul, Korea and installed. This equipment value has been reflected at cost.
Note 4 Related party advances
During the quarter stockholders of the Company have advanced to the Company a total of $392,000. These advances were in the form of purchasing of fixed assets totaling $125,000 to reflect the lateral forging equipment now in South Korea and $267,000 advanced for master alloy purchases. These advances are recorded as an increase in related party liabilities.
8 |
Note 5 NET LOSS PER SHARE
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the periods. Diluted net loss per share reflects, in addition to the weighted average number of common shares, the potential dilution if stock options and warrants outstanding were exercised and/or converted into common stock, unless the effect of such equivalent shares was anti-dilutive.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, the effect of stock options and other potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common shares, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Therefore diluted loss per share is equal to basic loss per share.
Note 6 Future Operations/Going Concern
These interim financial statements have been presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established revenues on any consistent basis. Even with the expected increase in revenues from the sale of golf shafts now being produced, the Company expects to incur expenses in excess of revenues for an indefinite period.
Key financial ratios are as follows |

|
(1,096,720) |
|
As shown in the Unaudited consolidated financial statements, during the nine months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company incurred net losses of $313,002 and $860,825 respectively. Cash provided by operations during the nine months ended March 31, 2004 and cumulative from October 2, 2002 (inception) to March 31, 2004 was $1,228 and $1,317 respectively.
9 |
These factors, among others, raise significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow and meet its obligations on a timely basis and ultimately attain profitability. Since acquiring the Element 21 Technologies golf development business, the Company has depended on advances and consulting services from principal consultants engaged by the Company. Absent these continuing advances and services, the Company could not continue with the development and marketing of its golf products.
Managements’ plans for the Company include implementation of the plan to sell its products into wholesale and retail golf sales channels, raising additional capital and other strategies designed to optimize shareholder values. However, no assurance can be made that management will be successful in fulfilling all elements of it plan. The failure to achieve these plans will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and ability to continue as a going concern.
During fiscal 2004 and 2003, the Company issued 0 and 2,000,000 shares of common stock to consultants for public relations and capital raising services rendered by them and recorded expenses of 60,000 and $0, respectively.
In 2004 the Company issued 12,184,917 shares of its common stock to consultants for services rendered by them and recorded an expense of $487,287 for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2004.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
The following discussion includes the business of Element 21 Technologies, Inc. (Formerly Element 21 Golf Company) (the "Subsidiary"), since the Company, prior to its acquisition of the Subsidiary, had recently divested its majority interest in AssureTec Systems, Inc., retaining only an investment interest carried at a nominal value through a newly formed subsidiary Assuretec Holdings, Inc. (formerly Tech Ventures, Inc.). Otherwise the Company had no operations other than raising capital and searching for an acquisition candidate (i.e., the Subsidiary). Where relevant, all numbers retroactively take into account the operations of both Assuretec Holdings and Element 21. The Company has announced its plans to spin off Tech Ventures as an independent company, but such is still pending.
Three Months Ended December 31, 2004 and 2003
For the three months ended March 31, 2004 the Company, including the Subsidiaries had no revenue and general and administrative expenses of $180,977 yielding a net loss of $180,977 as compared with the three months ended December 31, 2003 wherein the Company, including the Subsidiary had no revenues and general and administrative expenses of $109,017 resulting in a net loss of $109,017. General and administrative costs for both three-month period consisted primarily of consulting costs and legal and accounting fees.
Six Months Ended December 31, 2004 and 2003
For the nine months ended March 31, 2004 the Company, including the subsidiaries had no revenues, no purchased technology costs, administrative costs of $674,964, gain on settlement of liabilities of $361,962 resulting in a net loss of $313,002 as compared with the nine months ended March 31, 2002 wherein the Company, including the subsidiaries had no revenues, purchased technologies cost of $2,445, administrative costs of $659,8122, loss on investment of $288,585, other income of $90,017 resulting in a net loss of $860,825.
General and administrative expenses were $674,964 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 as compared with $659,812 in 2003.The differences in net loss in comparing the nine months ended March 31, 2004 with 2003 was a gain on settlement of liabilities of $361,962 in 2004 compared with a loss from investments of $288,585 and other income of $90,017 in 2003.
11 |
Inception to December 31, 2003
From inception of the consolidation of the Company with Element 21 Golf Technologies, Inc. (October 4, 2002), through March 31, 2004, the Company, including the Subsidiary, had revenues of $0, cost of goods sold of $0, purchased technology costs of $2,445, administrative costs of $1,532,363, gain on settlement of liabilities of $361,962, loss from investments of $294,103 and other income of $210,017 yielding an accumulated net loss of $1,256,932.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company including its subsidiaries has a negative working capital. It’s liquidity from inception until the closing of the Reorganization was primarily the funds of the Company and funds from stockholders of the Company. The Company retains consultants who are also significant stockholders of the Company to perform development and public company reporting activities in exchange for stock in the Company. At March 31, 2004 we had a working capital deficiency of $359,419. Our continuation as a going concern will require that we raise significant additional capital.
Absent continued stock for services by these consultants and continued advances by stockholders of the Company, the Company cannot manufacture its golf shaft product line or market golf products based on its technologies. The Company is actively searching for capital to implement its business plans, supply the Company with product for distribution and develop collateral materials for its potential customer base. There can be no assurance such capital will be raised on terms acceptable to the Company and if raised, may cause significant dilution to the Company’s stockholders.
Dividend Policy
The Company has not declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock since its inception and does not anticipate the declaration or payment of cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company intends to retain earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of its subsidiary’s business. Future dividend policy will be subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be contingent upon future earnings, if any, the Company's financial condition, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors. Therefore, there can be no assurance that dividends of any kind will ever be paid.
12 |
Effect of Inflation
Management believes that inflation has not had a material effect on its operations for the periods presented.
Risk Factors
We Have A Limited Operating History And A History Of Substantial Operating Losses.
We have a history of substantial operating losses and an accumulated deficit of $9,319,618 as of March 31, 2004 of which 1,217,469 was for Element 21’s development stage losses and the remainder of $8,102,149 was accumulated losses prior to the merger with Element 21 in October 2002. For the nine-months ended March 31, 2004 and cumulative from October 4, 2002 (inception) to March 31, 2004, our net losses were $313,002 and $1,256,932 respectively. We have historically experienced cash flow difficulties primarily because our expenses have exceeded our revenues. We expect to incur additional operating losses. These factors, among others, raise significant doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue from our operations to pay expenses or we are unable to obtain additional financing on commercially reasonable terms, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.
We Will Need Additional Financing.
We will require additional capital to finance our future operations. We can provide no assurance that we will obtain additional financing sufficient to meet our future needs on commercially reasonable terms or otherwise. If we are unable to obtain the necessary financing, our business, operating results and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.
Our Success Is Dependent On Our Ability to Retain And Attract Employees and Key Consultants.
Our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled technical, managerial, sales and marketing personnel and consultants. There is significant competition for such personnel in our industry. There can be no assurance that we will continue to be successful in attracting and retaining the personnel we require to develop new and enhanced technologies and to grow and operate profitably.
Our Performance Depends On Market Acceptance Of Our Products.
We expect to derive a substantial portion of our future revenues from the sales of Scandium alloy golf shafts that are only now entering the initial marketing phase. Although we believe our products and technologies will be commercially viable these are new and untested products. If markets for our products fail to develop, develop more slowly than expected or are subject to substantial competition, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.
13 |
We Depend On Strategic Marketing Relationships.
We expect our future marketing efforts will focus in part on developing business relationships with distributors that will market our products to their customers. The success of our business depends on selling our products and technologies to a large number of distributors and retail customers. Our inability to enter into and retain strategic relationships, or the inability to effectively market our products, could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
Competition From Traditional Golf Equipment Providers May Increase.
The market for golf shafts is highly competitive. There are number of other established providers that have greater resources, including more extensive research and development, marketing and capital than us and have greater name recognition and market presence. These competitors could reduce their prices and thereby decrease the demand for our products and technologies. These competitors may lower their prices to compete with us. We expect competition to intensify in the future, which could also result in price reductions, fewer customer and lower gross margins.
Rapidly Changing Technology And Substantial Competition May Adversely Affect Our Business.
Our business is subject to rapid changes in technology. We can provide no assurances that research and development by competitors will not render our technology obsolete or uncompetitive. We compete with a number of competing companies that have technologies and products similar to those offered by us and have greater resources, including more extensive research and development, marketing and capital than us. We can provide no assurances that we will be successful in marketing our existing products and developing and marketing new products in such a manner as to be effective against our competition. If our technology is rendered obsolete or we are unable to compete effectively, our business, operating results and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.
14 |
Litigation Concerning Intellectual Property Could Adversely Affect Our Business.
We rely on a combination of trade secrets, copyright and trademark law, contractual provisions, confidentiality agreements and certain technology and security measures to protect our trademarks, patents, proprietary technology and know-how. However, we can provide no assurance that competitors will not infringe upon our rights in our intellectual property or that competitors will not similarly make claims against us for infringement. If we are required to be involved in litigation involving intellectual property rights, our business, operating results and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.
It is possible that third parties might claim infringement by us with respect to past, current or future technologies. We expect that participants in our markets will increasingly be subject to infringement claims as the number of services and competitors in our industry grows. Any claims, whether meritorious or not, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation and could cause service upgrade delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. These royalty or licensing agreements might not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
Defects In Our Products May Adversely Affect Our Business.
Complex technologies such as the technologies developed by us may contain defects when introduced and also when updates and new products are released. Our introduction of technology with defects or quality problems may result in adverse publicity, product returns, reduced orders, uncollectible or delayed accounts receivable, product redevelopment costs, loss of or delay in market acceptance of our products or claims by customers or others against us. Such problems or claims may have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer), carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide a reasonable level of assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the requisite time periods.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. Changes in Securities
We proposed to effect by exemption from registration under the Securities Act or by registration there under, a spin-off of our interests in one of our two subsidiaries, Assuretec Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, ("Holdings"), that was recently formed to hold substantially all of our assets and business that we owned prior to the closing of the Element 21 Acquisition, and of Advanced Conductor Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Advanced Conductor"), both with ex-dividend dates of October 25, 2002, and distribution dates to be set once it has been determined whether these distributions can be made without registration under the Securities Act or must be subject to a prior registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act. Holders of beneficial interests acquired after October 25, 2002 and all holders of shares and options issued or exchanged under the Element 21 Acquisition will not have any right to any of the spin-off dividends as a condition to the Acquisition, but all were accorded the 100% share for share dividend with a distribution date of November 8, 2002.
