Difficulties and Risks
It is critical that we discover a President and CEO as quickly as possible to start the search for a technology Partner. While GolfingGopher has incredible intellectual value in its name, business concept and characters, it needs a Partner with the technical know-how to bring the concept to fruition. If a Partner is not found, we will need incur the additional cost of hiring a programmer to write the web application necessary to drive the information database.
Product Improvements and New Products
Ongoing development of new products as discussed in section 3.5 will keep our products and services competitive as initial development are completed.
Costs
Design and Development costs of Web site funded by ‘sweat’ equity.
Proprietary Issues
An Attorney has been identified to provide services for trademarking characters and name. Meeting will be scheduled for mid-July. Will gain insight at this meeting as to our rights concerning risks discussed in section 10.0.
