CLONE ALGO INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2014 AND MARCH 31, 2014

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

As used herein and except as otherwise noted, the term “Company”, “it(s)”, “our”, “us”, “we” and “CAI” shall mean Clone Algo Inc., a Nevada corporation and Subsidiaries.

 

Clone Algo, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on February 22, 2010 as a "blank check" company under the name of Corridor Ventures I Acquisition Corp. On January 8, 2014, Niraj Goel, an investor, acquired 99% ownership interest in the Company by purchasing from the former shareholders, 193,000,000 shares of common stock for $193,000 cash.  This resulted in a change of control and the executive officers and directors of the Company resigned from their positions. Niraj Goel became the Company’s new President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and a sole Director. Additionally, on that same date, the Company changed its name to Clone Algo, Inc. 

 

On March 7, 2014, the Company formed an entity Clone Algo Pte Ltd. in Singapore (“Singapore Subsidiary”) of which the Company has a 65% ownership interest through the ownership of 4,875,000 shares of common stock. Algo Markets Limited, a Malaysia limited liability company (“Algo Markets”), is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Singapore Subsidiary and is the subsidiary through which the Company conducts its business. The 35% noncontrolling interest or 2,625,000 shares of Singapore Subsidiary were purchased by Niraj Goel, the Company's former Chief Executive Officer for $2,625,000.

 

On May 21, 2014, Niraj Goel resigned from his position as President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer of the Company and Nitin Damodaran was appointed as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer.

 

Clone Algo Inc. is a technology company specializing in developing algorithms based on artificial intelligence and operates social investment networks. The Company ushers the social trading revolution and helps the users create passive income by cloning algorithms which automatically trade forex, shares, gold and CFDs to the account holder’s brokerage account.

 

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management of the Company, contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments and business acquisition adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 2014, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The balance sheet at March 31, 2014 is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although management of the Company believes that the disclosures contained in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented therein not misleading. For further information, refer to the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Company’s 2014 Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K on November 21, 2014.

CLONE ALGO INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2014 AND MARCH 31, 2014

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in the understanding of the Company’s unaudited financial statements. The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes are the representation of the Company’s management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information.

  

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All references to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) are in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

 

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company, its 65% owned subsidiary Clone Algo Pte Ltd., a Singapore entity, and Algo Markets, a Malaysia entity, a 100% owned subsidiary of Clone Algo Pte Ltd. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

 

Noncontrolling Interests

The Company accounts for its less than 100% interest in consolidated subsidiaries in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board – Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, “Consolidation” for the accounting for noncontrolling interests. The guidance establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It also clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements as opposed to mezzanine equity. This guidance also changes the way the consolidated statement of operations is presented by requiring net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of operations, of the amounts of net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest. This guidance requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated and requires expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. For all periods in which a consolidated balance sheet is presented, the Company reported all amounts due to minority shareholders to a new line item, “noncontrolling interests,” which is included in stockholders’ equity. Additionally, in the statement of operations, the Company displays, below net income on the face of the statement of operations, the portion of consolidated net income or loss that is attributable to the controlling and noncontrolling interests.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2014 AND MARCH 31, 2014

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. At June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, the Company has $0 and $0 of cash equivalents.

 

Fair value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

 

Level 3

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable, and amounts due to related parties. Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and ASC 825, Financial Instruments, the fair value of our cash equivalents is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company believes that the recorded values of all of the other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations. The Company does not hold any investments that are available-for-sale.

 

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets arising from an acquisition are periodically assessed for impairment. Accordingly, the Company reviews the carrying value of intangible assets quarterly to determine whether impairment, as measured by fair market value, may exist. Specifically, intangible assets impairment is determined using a two-step process. The first step of the intangible asset impairment test is used to identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, then the intangible assets of the reporting unit are not considered to be impaired and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any.

CLONE ALGO INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF JUNE 30, 2014 AND MARCH 31, 2014

 

The second step of the impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit's intangible assets with their carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit's intangible assets exceeds their implied fair value, then an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. Patents, intellectual property and trademarks are capitalized at their historical cost and are amortized over their estimated useful lives of ten years.

 

Variable Interest Entity

The Company follows the guidelines in FASB Codification of ASC 810 Consolidation” which indicates "a legal entity that is deemed to be a business need not be evaluated by a reporting entity to determine if the legal entity is a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE")” unless any one of four conditions exist:

 

The reporting entity, its related parties, or both participated significantly in the design or redesign of the legal entity;
The legal entity is designed so that substantially all of its activities involve or are conducted on behalf of the reporting entity;
The reporting entity and its related parties provide more than half of the total of the equity, subordinated debt, and other forms of subordinated;
The activities of the legal entity are primarily related to the securitizations or other forms of asset-backed financings or single

 

A VIE is an entity that either (a) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or (b) has equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If we determine that we have operating power and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits, we consolidate the VIE as the primary beneficiary, and if not, we do not consolidate. The Company has not identified any VIEs as of June 30, 2014.

 

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred; price is fixed or determinable; and collectability of the related receivable is reasonably assured. The Company closely follows the provisions of ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition”, which includes the guidelines of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104.

 

The Company's main source of revenue is from the licensing fees that brokers, distributors, hedge funds, and banks pay for licensing our Clone Algo Applications based on the type of trading in which their customers (our users) are engaged in.  Each user has multiple accounts running different algorithms for different asset classes.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

The Company computes net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted net earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

As of June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, there were 1,500,000,000 potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period all of which pertain to the 150,000,000 series A preferred shares outstanding which are convertible, at the holder’s option, into ten (10) shares of the Company’s common stock.

AS OF JUNE 30, 2014 AND MARCH 31, 2014

 

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized. The Company follows the provisions of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions.” When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

 

Business Segments

The Company operates in one segment and therefore, segment information is not presented.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern. The new standard required management of public and private companies to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern and, if so, disclose that fact. Management will also be required to evaluate and disclose whether its plans alleviate that doubt. The new standard is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of the ASU to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its unaudited consolidated financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Accounts receivable are comprised of uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 60 days from the invoice date. The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reviewed periodically for collectability. If management determines that collection is unlikely, an allowance is recorded that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. Management reviews each accounts receivable balance that exceeds 60 days from the invoice date and, based on an assessment of creditworthiness, estimates the portion, if any, of the balance that will not be collected. As of June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, the Company did not record a reserve for doubtful accounts.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements about our business and operations. Our actual results may differ materially from those we currently anticipate.

 

Plan of Operations

 

Plan of Operations

 

On January 8, 2014, Niraj Goel, an investor, acquired 99% ownership interest in the Company by purchasing from the former shareholders, 193,000,000 shares of common stock for $193,000 cash. This resulted in change of control and the executive officers and directors of the Company resigned from their positions. Niraj Goel became the Company’s new President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and a sole Director. Additionally, on that same date, the Company changed its name to Clone Algo, Inc. On May 21, 2014, Niraj Goel resigned from his position as President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

 

Clone Algo began its substantive operations in March 2014 by acquiring intellectual property and algorithms, and developing algorithms, mobile apps (as well as desktop software) in four different areas – financial markets trading, insurance, hotel booking, and retail banking. We have released the Clone Algo App Suite of products which had approximately 5,600 users as of January 12, 2015.

 

Our marketing strategy is based on licensing the use of our products business-to-business through distributors, brokers, asset managers, and banks. We are in the process of expanding our geographical reach by opening newer offices in various time zones and hiring additional marketing staff.

 

We are a technology company specializing in developing algorithms based on artificial intelligence and operate social investment networks. The Company ushers the social trading revolution and helps the users create passive income by cloning algorithms which automatically trade forex, shares, gold and computational fluid dynamics (CFDs) to the account holder’s brokerage account. Our development efforts have been focused primarily on the development and marketing of our algorithms. In addition, to date we have limited operating history for investors to evaluate the potential of our business development. We have commenced limited operations and our proposed business plan is not yet fully operational. We are finalizing our business plan and have obtained our twelve customers in a span of four and one-half months.

 

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013

 

Revenues

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, revenues increased to $10,567,906 compared to $0 for the same comparable period in 2013. Revenues are generated by the Company charging licensing and technology fees to brokers, distributors, banks and hedge funds and related parties, (collectively referred to as “Customers”), which the Company has acquired the rights to sell pursuant to the Dragon Tradebook Risk Management & Trade Infrastructure Non Exclusive Software Distribution Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Dragon Malaysia Limited (“Dragon Malaysia”) and the Asset Purchase Agreement with Zentrum Limited. The Company charged licensing and technology fees to related parties and recorded revenues of $2,025,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

16
 

 

The licenses provide the software platform which allows Customers to use our back-end intellectual property and software to facilitate trades. The Company executed Service and Distribution Agreements with twelve (12) Customers (brokers, distributors, hedge fund managers, etc. one (1) of which was a related party) for a period from April 1, 2014 to June 30, 2014, whereby the Company charged fixed licensing/technology fees. The services offered and license fees charged to its Customers are based upon the account size of funds and trade volumes, i.e. less than $100,000 or greater than $100,000. The Company recognizes revenues over the licensing service period included in the Service and Distribution Agreement with its Customers.

 

Cost of Revenue and Gross Margins

Cost of revenue consists entirely of infrastructure fees paid to Dragon Malaysia pursuant to a TradeBook Risk Management & Trade Infrastructure Non Exclusive Software Distribution Agreement, executed on March 22, 2014. The infrastructure fees recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2014 were $3,600,000 as compared to $0 for the same comparable period in 2013. The infrastructure fees comprised of Dragon Malaysia’s server platform consisting of computer hardware, software, computer infrastructure and networking between the Company and its customers, all system administration and housekeeping, system monitoring and associated support. The Company currently utilizes Dragon’s risk management software, data center usage, technical personnel and licenses by paying a minimum monthly fixed fee of $1,200,000. Minimum fees are determined by the usage of the server resources and are accountable against traded volume.

 

As a result of the Company’s activities and operations, the gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2014, was approximately 66%. As the Company’s business matures and sales increase, the Company will recruit its own software/technical personnel to manage its own server platform, data centers, all computer hardware, software, computer infrastructure and servers. The Company will purchase the licenses to use software to make its computer infrastructure and data centers fully operational and efficient. This will result in an increase in operating costs initially and our gross margins will be reduced significantly. However, as the Company’s business picks up and revenues increase, and infrastructure and data centers become fully operational, we anticipate our gross margins to increase.

 

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $458,939 and $6,700, respectively. Operating expenses increased by $452,239 during the three months ended June 30, 2014 when compared to the previous comparable period was primarily due to the increase in depreciation expense of $4,488, increase in commissions of $132,970, increase in payroll of $101,336, increase in travel expense of $64,125, increase in rent of $18,550, and increase in profession fees of $79,587 resulting from professional services incurred in connection with the audit, consulting, legal and reporting requirements of being a public company.

 

Other Income and Expense

Other income and expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $1,561,239 and $0, respectively, primarily consisting of interest expense of $1,561,769 and offsetting by other income of $531. The Company recorded an imputed interest expense of $1,561,769 related to the amortization of debt discounts on two promissory notes for its purchase of intellectual property for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Noncontrolling Interest

The Company accounted for its 65% owned subsidiary Clone Algo Pte Ltd. and reported net income attributable to a noncontrolling interest of $1,773,705 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. On May 19, 2014, Clone Algo Pte Ltd. issued an additional 2,000,000 shares of its common stock to Niraj Goel for $2,000,000 cash. As a result, the noncontrolling interest in Clone Algo Pte Ltd. was reduced to $36,309,276 as of June 30, 2014. The Company did not have a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary in 2013.

 

17
 

 

Net Income

The Company recorded a net income of $3,174,023 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to a net loss of $6,700 for the same comparable period in 2013. The increase in income was primarily due to the increase in revenues and gross margin and control on operating expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash and cash equivalents were $5,864,939 at June 30, 2014 compared to $6,991,013 at March 31, 2014. Management expects the Company’s expenses will continue to increase during the foreseeable future as a result of increased operational expenses and the development of additional algorithms and apps. The Company anticipates generating licensing and technology revenues over the next twelve months, however, it may be dependent on the proceeds from future debt or equity investments to sustain its operations and implement its business plan. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient capital, it will be required to delay or forego some portion of its business plan, which may have an effect on its anticipated results from operations and financial condition. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain necessary amounts of capital or that its estimates of capital requirements will prove to be accurate.

 

The Company presently does not have any significant credit available, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity. Its current operations have been a source of liquidity, however, the Company will need to obtain additional capital in order to expand its operations and continue being profitable. In order to obtain capital, the Company may need to sell additional shares of its common stock or borrow funds from private lenders. There can be no assurance that it will be successful in obtaining additional funding.

 

To the extent that the Company has raised additional capital through the sale of equity, the issuance of such securities may result in dilution to existing stockholders. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of debt securities, these securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to holders of common stock and the terms of such debt could impose restrictions on the Company’s operations. Regardless of whether the cash assets prove to be inadequate to meet the Company’s operational needs, it may seek to compensate providers of services by issuance of stock in lieu of cash, which may also result in dilution to existing shareholders. Even if the Company is able to raise the funds required, it is possible that it could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force the Company to seek alternative financing.

 

Management has been successful in the past in raising capital, however, no assurance can be given that these sources of financing will continue to be available to us and/or that demand for our equity/debt instruments will be sufficient to meet our capital needs, or that financing will be available on terms favorable to us. If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, the Company may not be able to take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, or may be required to reduce the scope of its planned service development and marketing efforts, any of which could have a negative impact on our business and operating results.

 

Operating activities

Net cash flows used in operating activities was $3,695,620 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 which resulted primarily due to our net income of $3,174,023, income attributable to noncontrolling interest of $1,773,705, depreciation of $4,488, amortization of debt discount of $1,561,769, increase in accounts receivable of $6,530,306, increase in accounts receivable from related party of $1,421,480, increase in due from related party of $139,388, increase in prepaid expense and other current assets of $12,000, decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $355,358, increase in customer deposit of $40,000, decrease in other current liabilities of $2,500,000 and increase in due to related parties of $708,927.

 

Investing activities

Net cash flows used in investing activities was $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

 

18
 

 

Financing activities:

Net cash flows provided by financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $2,569,546. Net cash provided by financing activities was primarily attributable to the cash proceeds of $15,944,546 received from the sale of common stock and common stock subscriptions, cash proceeds of $2,000,000 received from noncontrolling interest, cash paid for note payable to a related party of $13,500,000 and cash paid for note payable of $1,875,000.

 

The Company continues to use traditional and/or debt financing as well as sales of its common stock to provide the capital for its business operations.

 

As a result of the above activities, the Company recorded a net decrease in cash of $1,126,074 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. As reflected in the unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $76,227,809 as of June 30, 2014 and has available cash of $5,864,939 as of June 30, 2014 to meet its current obligations.  

 

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, sales or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to an investment in our securities.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

 

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements which we have prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing our financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We have identified the following accounting policies that we believe require application of management’s most subjective judgments, often requiring the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Our actual results could differ from these estimates and such differences could be material.

 

While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 of our financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2014, we believe the following accounting policies to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting within the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred; price is fixed or determinable; and collectability of the related receivable is reasonably assured. The Company closely follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605 “Revenue Recognition”, which includes the guidelines of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104.

 

The Company's main source of revenue is from the licensing fees that brokers, distributors, hedge funds, and banks pay for licensing our Clone Algo Applications based on the type of trading in which their customers (our users) are engaged in.  Each user has multiple accounts running different algorithms for different asset classes.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

The Company computes net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted net earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement.

 

19
 

 

Basic EPS is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

Variable Interest Entity

The Company follows the guidelines in FASB Codification of ASC 810 Consolidation” which indicates "a legal entity that is deemed to be a business need not be evaluated by a reporting entity to determine if the legal entity is a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE")” unless any one of four conditions exist:

 

The reporting entity, its related parties, or both participated significantly in the design or redesign of the legal entity;
The legal entity is designed so that substantially all of its activities involve or are conducted on behalf of the reporting entity;
The reporting entity and its related parties provide more than half of the total of the equity, subordinated debt, and other forms of subordinated;
The activities of the legal entity are primarily related to the securitizations or other forms of asset-backed financings or single

 

A VIE is an entity that either (a) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or (b) has equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If we determine that we have operating power and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits, we consolidate the VIE as the primary beneficiary, and if not, we do not consolidate. The Company has not identified any VIEs as of June 30, 2014.

 

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized. The Company follows the provisions of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions.” When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not applicable because we are a smaller reporting company.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Nitin Damodaran, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of June 30, 2014 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure for the reason described below.

Because of our limited operations, we have a small number of employees which prohibits a segregation of duties. In addition, we lack a formal audit committee with a financial expert. As we grow and expand our operations, we will engage additional employees and experts as needed. However, there can be no assurance that our operations will expand.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management regularly reviews our system of internal control over financial reporting and makes changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new and more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

Between April 1, 2014 and June 30, 2014, the Company received cash of $15,944,546 from foreign investors under private placement subscription agreements for the purchase of its $0.001 par value common stock at a purchase price of $8.00 per share.  The offering was part of a larger funding effort which continued through May of 2014, at which time the Company received subscriptions for a total of $40,000,000 through the sale of 5,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock at a purchase price of $8.00 per share.

In addition, there was no general solicitation or advertising for securities issued in reliance upon Regulation D.
