For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Western Graphite Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 15, 2006. The Company was formed to engage in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties.
On August 26, 2014, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company, Lauren Notar, resigned and David Wimberly became the new Chairman, CEO and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the Company. On April 1, 2015 David Wimberly resigned as an officer and director of the Company and Jennifer Andersen was appointed as CEO and director and Mark Corrao was appointed as CFO and a director of the Company.
On April 1, 2015, the Chairman and CEO of the Company, David Wimberly, resigned and Jennifer Andersen became the new Chairman and CEO of the Company. As part of Mr. Wimberly’s resignation from the Board of Directors and as an officer of the Company, Mr. Wimberly received a payment of $3,000, the transfer of 6,000,000 shares of common stock held by Guelph Partners, which is an entity owned by Mr. Wimberly, and a promissory note for $16,000 due on six month anniversary of the issuance date, bearing compounded interest of 6% per annum monthly. The payment, the shares and the note were in settlement of Mr. Wimberly’s employment agreement which was cancelled as a result of his resignation, and Mr. Wimberly has agreed to forgo all outstanding debts due him as of April 1, 2015. Additionally, 30,000,000 shares of common stock held by Guelph Partners will not be cancelled because such shares have been pledged as collateral for a note. As of the date of this filing, the cancellation of the remaining shares by Guelph Partners has not occurred. The Company expects such cancellation to occur in the fourth quarter of 2015.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The Company’s policy is to maintain its books and prepare its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s 2014 Form 10-K filed with SEC on April 14, 2015. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2014 as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased as cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. At times throughout the year, the Company might maintain bank balances that may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured limits. Periodically, the Company evaluates the credit worthiness of the financial institutions, and has not experienced any losses in such accounts. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company did not have bank balances that exceeded the FDIC insured limits.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share amounts in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the effect of common stock equivalents has been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
The Company currently has convertible debt, which, if converted, as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, would have caused the Company to issue diluted shares totaling 6,369,133,514 and 236,914,498, respectively.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company follows paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB ASC for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:
Level 1 | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. |
Level 2 | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. |
Level 3 | Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s financial statements for cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and loans payable approximate their fair value because of the immediate or short-term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for its notes payable approximates fair value as the contractual interest rate and features are consistent with similar instruments of similar risk in the market place.
Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

It is not, however, practical to determine the fair value of advances from stockholders, if any, due to their related party nature.
The following table presents assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, on a recurring basis:

CONVERTIBLE INSTRUMENTS
The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with professional standards for “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.
Professional standards generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. Professional standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as “The Meaning of “Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument”.
The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with professional standards when “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features,” as those professional standards pertain to “Certain Convertible Instruments.” Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.
ASC 815-40 provides that, among other things, generally, if an event is not within the entity’s control could or require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s financial statements for prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and loans payable approximate their fair value because of the immediate or short-term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for its notes payable approximates fair value as the contractual interest rate and features are consistent with similar instruments of similar risk in the market place.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
On July 30, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the adoption of the 2013 Stock Option Plan, which permits the Company to issue up to 10,665,000 shares of common stock to directors, officers, employees and consultants upon the exercise of stock options granted under the 2013 Stock Option Plan.
The Company follows ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, “Equity–based Payments to Non-Employees”. Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
Through newly issued restricted common stock, the Company pays qualified contractors and advisors common shares in lieu of compensation for services provided including business development, management, technology development, consulting, legal services and accounting services.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company had no stock based compensation.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
ASU 2015-03
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The amendments in this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The amendments are to be applied on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period presented is adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-03 to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ASU 2015-02
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which is intended to improve targeted areas of consolidation guidance for legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations, and securitization structures (collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, and mortgage-backed security transactions). The ASU focuses on the consolidation evaluation for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. In addition to reducing the number of consolidation models from four to two, the new standard simplifies the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and improves current U.S. GAAP by placing more emphasis on risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest, reducing the frequency of the application of related-party guidance when determining a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and changing consolidation conclusions for companies in several industries that typically make use of limited partnerships or VIEs. The ASU will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-02 to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ASU 2015-01
In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, “Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items.” This ASU eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. ASU 2015-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-01 to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ASU 2014-17
In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-17, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Pushdown Accounting.” This ASU provides an acquired entity with an option to apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements upon occurrence of an event in which an acquirer obtains control of the acquired entity. An acquired entity may elect the option to apply pushdown accounting in the reporting period in which the change-in-control event occurs. If pushdown accounting is applied to an individual change-in-control event, that election is irrevocable. ASU 2014-17 was effective on November 18, 2014. The adoption of ASU 2014-17 did not have any effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ASU 2014-16
In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-16, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815).” ASU 2014-16 addresses whether the host contract in a hybrid financial instrument issued in the form of a share should be accounted for as debt or equity. ASU 2014-16 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. We do not currently have issued, nor are we investors in, hybrid financial instruments. Accordingly, we do not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-16 to have any effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ASU 2014-15
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40)”. ASU 2014-15 provides guidance related to management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosure. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for interim and annual periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-15 to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be achieved after the Requisite Service Period.” This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. ASU 2014-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-12 to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ASU 2014-09
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” ASU 2014-09 affects any entity using U.S. GAAP that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g., insurance contracts or lease contracts). ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. We are still evaluating the effect of the adoption of ASU 2014-09. On April 1, 2015, the FASB voted to propose to defer the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard by one year.
ASU 2014-08
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360) and Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU 2014-08 amends the definition for what types of asset disposals are to be considered discontinued operations, as well as amending the required disclosures for discontinued operations and assets held for sale. ASU 2014-08 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2014. The adoption of ASU 2014-08 did not have any effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
There are various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN
The Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred net losses of $470,015 and $1,835,257 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Cash on hand will not be sufficient to cover debt repayments scheduled as of September 30, 2015 and operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least twelve months from the balance sheet date. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had working capital deficits of $1,868,498 and $1,452,474, respectively. In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to seek equity and/or debt financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 4. PREPAID EXPENSES
The Company issued four separate convertible promissory notes totaling $295,500 and $66,000 in 2014 and 2015, respectively, for consulting fees, which are being amortized over the term of the convertible promissory notes, with due dates ranging from October 2014 through January 2016.

NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
The Company follows ASC 815, which defines determining whether an instrument (or embedded feature) is solely indexed to an entity’s own stock. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company has bi-furcated the conversion feature of the note and recorded a derivative liability.
ASC 815 requires Company management to assess the fair market value of certain derivatives at each reporting period and recognize any change in the fair market value as another income or expense item. The Company’s only asset or liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis is its derivative liabilities associated with convertible notes payable.
For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company valued the initial conversion features using the following assumptions: dividend yield of zero, years to maturity of 0.5 to 1.00 year, average risk free rates of between 0.10% and 0.12%, and annualized volatility of between 190.42% and 271.67% to record derivative liabilities of $846,959. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company valued the initial conversion features using the following assumptions: dividend yield of zero, years to maturity of 0.50-1.00 years, average risk free rate of 0.10-0.25%, and annualized volatility of 373.19-391.17% to record derivative liabilities of $570,602.
At September 30, 2015, the Company revalued the conversion features using the following assumptions: dividend yield of zero, years to maturity of between 0.10 and 1.00 years, a risk free rate between 0.00% and 0.33%, and annualized volatility at 391.17%, and determined that, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company’s derivative liability increased to $1,085,866. The Company recognized a corresponding gain of $509,363 on derivative liability in conjunction with this revaluation during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, which combined with derivative liability expenses in excess of debt discount of $413,602 resulted in a total derivative liability gain of $95,762 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
The debt derivative liabilities is measured at fair value using quoted market prices and estimated volatility factors based on historical prices for the Company’s common stock and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities as of September 30, 2015:
Debt Derivative Liability | ||||
Balance, December 31, 2014 | $ | 1,024,627 | ||
Additions | 570,602 | |||

Atmosphere, based in Chicago, IL, developed a proprietary formula for an ecofriendly product that serves as a cleaner, sanitizer and odor eliminator under the ATMOSPHERE label and has applications in numerous industries including, but not limited to, agribusiness, food processing, waste water, industrial and commercial cleaning, transportation waste and waste water, boating and marine and mining. ATMOSPHERE Odor Control works by deconstructing (not just masking) harmful gasses and, at the same time, bringing pollutants to a neutral pH, thus improving the environment. One important application that makes ATMOSPHERE a unique and important addition to farming is ATMOSPHERE’s use in the CAFO (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation for Hogs, Chicken or Dairy). ATMOSPHERE will eliminate Ammonia and Hydrogen Sulfide in the air when misted and tests are underway to validate that ATMOSPHERE can scrub the discharge air killing pathogens that plague livestock farming such as Avian Bird Flu, PRRS, PEDV, Salmonella, Camphobacter and E Coli.
The Term Sheet sets forth a two-phase acquisition by the Company of Atmosphere’s equity. Phase One involves the Company’s purchase, with certain restrictions, of 20% of the equity of Atmosphere as well as an advisory board seat in consideration for Class B Membership Units equal to 52% of Atmosphere. Phase Two involves the Company’s purchase of Class B Membership Interests equal to 12% of the equity of Atmosphere in consideration of $1.5M funded in four tranches.

(“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) from time to time with the SEC contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Our unaudited condensed financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments, and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our unaudited condensed financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements and accompanying notes to the unaudited condensed financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
This report contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. We use words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “plan”, “expect”, “future”, “intend”, and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. Investors should be aware that all forward-looking statements contained within this report are good faith estimates of management as of the date of this report and actual results may differ materially from historical results or our predictions of future results.

Going Concern
The Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared using U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred net losses of $470,015 and $1,835,257 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Cash on hand will not be sufficient to cover debt repayments scheduled as of September 30, 2015 and operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for at least twelve months from the balance sheet date. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had working capital deficits of $1,868,498 and $1,452,474, respectively. In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to seek equity and/or debt financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Financial Reporting Release No. 60, published by the SEC, recommends that all companies include a discussion of critical accounting policies used in the preparation of their financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
We believe that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause a material effect on our unaudited condensed results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report. Please refer Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the notes to the unaudited condensed financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2015-03
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The amendments in this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The amendments are to be applied on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period presented is adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-03 to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ASU 2015-02
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which is intended to improve targeted areas of consolidation guidance for legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations, and securitization structures (collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, and mortgage-backed security transactions). The ASU focuses on the consolidation evaluation for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. In addition to reducing the number of consolidation models from four to two, the new standard simplifies the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and improves current U.S. GAAP by placing more emphasis on risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest, reducing the frequency of the application of related-party guidance when determining a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and changing consolidation conclusions for companies in several industries that typically make use of limited partnerships or VIEs. The ASU will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-02 to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
19 |
ASU 2015-01
In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, “Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items.” This ASU eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. ASU 2015-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-01 to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ASU 2014-17
In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-17, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Pushdown Accounting.” This ASU provides an acquired entity with an option to apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements upon occurrence of an event in which an acquirer obtains control of the acquired entity. An acquired entity may elect the option to apply pushdown accounting in the reporting period in which the change-in-control event occurs. If pushdown accounting is applied to an individual change-in-control event, that election is irrevocable. ASU 2014-17 was effective on November 18, 2014. The adoption of ASU 2014-17 did not have any effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ASU 2014-16
In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-16, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815).” ASU 2014-16 addresses whether the host contract in a hybrid financial instrument issued in the form of a share should be accounted for as debt or equity. ASU 2014-16 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. We do not currently have issued, nor are we investors in, hybrid financial instruments. Accordingly, we do not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-16 to have any effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ASU 2014-15
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40)”. ASU 2014-15 provides guidance related to management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosure. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for interim and annual periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-15 to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ASU 2014-12
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be achieved after the Requisite Service Period.” This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. ASU 2014-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-12 to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ASU 2014-09
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” ASU 2014-09 affects any entity using U.S. GAAP that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g., insurance contracts or lease contracts). ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. We are still evaluating the effect of the adoption of ASU 2014-09. On April 1, 2015, the FASB voted to propose to defer the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard by one year.
20 |
ASU 2014-08
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360) and Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU 2014-08 amends the definition for what types of asset disposals are to be considered discontinued operations, as well as amending the required disclosures for discontinued operations and assets held for sale. ASU 2014-08 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2014. The adoption of ASU 2014-08 did not have any effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
There are various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The principal balance of the note is convertible to common stock at the lower of either $0.01, or 50% of the lowest traded price 20 days prior to conversion, and is limited to 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock at the time of conversion. All interest that accrues is convertible at $0.0001. The Company determined the note qualified for derivative liability treatment under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The Company recorded initial derivative liabilities of $144,983 on the date the note was executed, and a debt discount of $66,000, resulting in excess derivative liability expense of $78,983. See Note 7 for treatment of derivative liability associated with convertible notes payable. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company amortized $31,924 of debt discount related to this note, and as of September 30, 2015, the unamortized debt discount related to this note is $34,076. Accrued interest was $1,972 as of September 30, 2015.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15e and 15d-15e under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officer, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to our company, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
None.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF FUNDS
On January 22, 2015, the Company issued 6,250,000 shares of common stock to a holder of a convertible note (which issuance was deemed effective as of December 31, 2014). The holder converted $2,750 of principal of the convertible note.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a total of $51,791 in principal and accrued interest on convertible notes payable was converted to 480,029,693 shares of common stock at shares prices from $0.0004 to $0.00002. In addition, 32,266,667 shares of common stock was issued for services at shares prices from $0.00025 to $0.00005.
The shares of the Company’s common stock issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as described above qualified for an exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act because the issuance of shares by the Company did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in each of the issuances, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of shares offered.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
None.
ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY PROCEDURES
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
None.
