ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto.


Forward-Looking Statements


This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements and information relating to us that are based on the beliefs of our management as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. When used in this report, the words "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "estimate," “intend”, “plan” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management's current view of us concerning future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including among many others: a general economic downturn; a downturn in the securities markets; federal or state laws or regulations having an adverse effect on proposed transactions that we desire to effect; Securities and Exchange Commission regulations which affect trading in the securities of "penny stocks,"; and other risks and uncertainties. Should any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in this report as anticipated, estimated or expected. The accompanying information contained in this report on Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, the information set forth under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation" identifies important additional factors that could materially adversely affect actual results and performance. You are urged to carefully consider these factors. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statement.


Overview and Plan of Operation

 

A brief history and recent developments

 

Gateway Certifications, Inc. (“Gateway” or the “Company”) was incorporated on August 30, 2006 and became a reporting public company in July 2007. We are headquartered in Brooklyn. Our principal executive offices are located at 35 Meadow Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206, and our telephone number is (718) 336-3922. Our website address is www.gcertifications.com .


In company with federal agencies and private organizations, Gateway recognizes the historical lack of access that women, minorities and other qualifying individuals have had to the resources needed to develop their small businesses.





How we generate revenue


The Company was formed to provide certification services to women-owned, minority-owned and other qualified businesses  (collectively referred to as “Minority Businesses”) that seek Minority Business Enterprises certification (MBE), Women’s Business Enterprise certification (WBE), Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) certification, 8(a) and or SDB designation and various State, City and private sector certifications (collectively referred to as “Certifications Programs”).


Once successfully certified in one or more Certification Programs, the Company then assists Minority Businesses to leverage and utilize their certification status to procure and secure business relationships and available opportunities for the delivery or provision of their goods and/or services to public and private corporations, federal, state and local agencies. We connect Minority Businesses with opportunities based on their business, capacity, expertise and strategic goals.


Although federal, state, city and local government agencies and public and private corporations do not and can not guarantee any specific amount of business a certified Minority Business, once certified, Minority Businesses achieve preferential access to bid for contracts for goods or services that are related to their respective business concerns.

 

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008


Our certification and supplier diversity consulting income during the three months ended March 31, 2009 resulted in net revenues of $2,000 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008 where we had $700 in net revenues. This was an increase of $1,300, or 65%. The increase in certification and supplier diversity consulting income was due to the fact that we were able to recognize revenue for services rendered for certification and supplier diversity consulting services for the period.


General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $6,385.  This was an decrease of $3,947, or 38%, as compared to general and administrative expenses of $10,332 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.  During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we incurred professional services fees in the amount of $5,575, filing fees, dues and subscription costs of $314, telephone expenses of $352, office expenses of $36, depreciation expenses of $96, , and other miscellaneous operating expenses amounting to $12.


Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $96. This is an increase of $0, or 0%, as compared to depreciation expense of $96 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.


We had net loss of $4,063 (or basic and diluted loss per share of $0.0005) for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to a net loss of $9,632 (or basic and diluted loss per share of $0.0012) for the three months ended March 31, 2008.  The decrease in net loss was primarily due to the fact that we no longer incur rent expense.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


We had total assets of $1,423 as of March 31, 2009. This consisted of total current assets of $520, an increase of $137, or 36%, as compared to current assets of $383 for the period ended December 31, 2008. Other assets as of March 31, 2009 included property and equipment of $903 net of $992 of accumulated depreciation.


We had negative working capital of $9,678 as of March 31, 2009.


We had total liabilities of $18,698 as of March 31, 2009, which consisted of current liabilities of $10,198 and long term liabilities related to shareholder loans of $8,500. This was an increase of $4,104 or 28%, as compared to total liabilities of $14,594 for the period ended December 31, 2008.


We had an accumulated deficit of $67,125 as of March 31, 2009. This was an increase of $4,063 or 6%, as compared to an accumulated deficit of $63,062 for the period ended December 31, 2008.


We had net cash used in operating activities of $6,863 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $5,078. This was an increase of $1,785, or 35%.


We had $7,000 in net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, which consisted solely of a shareholder loan pursuant to terms of a Credit Agreement and Note entered into by the Company and a majority shareholder.   





We have no specific commitments for any future capital expenditures.  However, we will continue to incur normal operating expenses and routine fees and expenses incident to our reporting duties as a public company. Our cash requirements for the next three months are relatively modest, principally, office and professional expenses.


Unless we receive additional capital, we will only be able to pay our future debts and meet operating expenses by conducting profitable operations or otherwise generating positive cash flow. As a practical matter, we are unlikely to generate positive cash flow by any means other than successful and profitable operations.  Management and the shareholders are not obligated to provide any further funding. Notwithstanding, On November 15, 2008, our board of directors determined that it was in the best interests of the Company to issue a commercial note, whereby the Company would enter into credit agreements with the majority stockholders Mr. Sarfoh and Mr. Belton (collectively referred to as “Creditors”) to obtain credit for working capital and other general business purposes (“Credit Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, Creditors are willing to extend credit to the Company in the amount of up to $17,000.


In consideration for the credit extensions (“Loans”), the Company executed and delivered in favor of Creditors a commercial promissory note (“Note”) providing with respect to the Loans a maturity date of June 30, 2013 and interest accruing on the principal balance outstanding from time to time at an annual rate of eight percent (8%) payable. All outstanding principal and unpaid interest under the Note and all other amounts due and payable under this Note shall become automatically due and payable, without demand or notice, on June 30, 2013. The Note shall be prepayable without premium or penalty.


Outside of Loans, we do not have any other identified sources of additional capital. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us, or that, if available, it will be on terms satisfactory to us. Any additional financing may involve dilution to our shareholders. In the alternative, additional funds may be provided from cash flow in excess of that needed to finance our day-to-day operations, although we may never generate this excess cash flow. If we do not raise additional capital or generate additional funds, implementation of our plans for expansion will be delayed. If necessary we may withdraw from certain growth strategies to conserve cash for continued operations.


We have no intention of borrowing money to reimburse or pay commissions to any of our officers, directors or shareholders or their affiliates. Other than as presented in our registration statement on Form SB-2, there currently are no plans to sell additional securities to raise capital, although sales of securities may be necessary to obtain needed funds.

 

Should the Company lack available funding, severe consequences could occur, including among others:


·

failure to make timely filings with the SEC as required by the Exchange Act, which also probably would result in suspension of trading or quotation in our stock and could result in fines and penalties to us under the Exchange Act;

·

inability to pay legal and accounting fees and other operating expenses; or

·

curtailing or eliminating our ability to continue operations;


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


We do not have any 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 investors.


ITEM 3.

ITEM 4.  

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”), has concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required  disclosure, and (ii) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.






We plan to improve our internal control over financial reporting in an effort to remediate these deficiencies through improved supervision and training of our accounting staff. These deficiencies have been disclosed to our board of directors. We believe that this effort is sufficient to fully remedy these deficiencies and we are continuing our efforts to improve and strengthen our control processes and procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and director will continue to work with our auditors and other outside advisors to ensure that our controls and procedures are adequate and effective.
