EMPERIAL AMERICAS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2012
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
AAA Public Adjusting Group, Inc was incorporated on October 05, 2007 in the state of Florida. AAA Public Adjusting Group, Inc was formerly Florida Claims Consultants, LLC formed on March 3, 2004 in the state of Florida. On October 22, 2007, AAA Public Adjusting Group, Inc consummated an agreement with Florida Claims Consultants, LLC, pursuant to which Florida Claims Consultants, LLC, exchanged all of its Members’ interest for 4,000,000 shares of common stock of AAA Public Adjusting Group, Inc. The Company has accounted for the transaction as a combination of entities under common control and accordingly, recorded the merger at historical cost. The consolidated, historical financial statements have been appropriately re-stated.
The operation’s of the Company is to facilitate insurance claims by insured parties by representation on their behalf with the insurance companies.
On March 12, 2012, the Corporation had the majority controlling interest of the issued and outstanding shares under Florida law purchased under an agreement with Emperial Americas, Inc. and Victory Partners, LLC. Emperial Americas, Inc. is a Florida Corporation, as set forth below. The purchase was made of 3,000,000 of the outstanding common shares of the Corporation, for a majority control by Victory Partners purchasing 1,500,000 shares from Liane Hassan and 1,500,000 shares from Frederick Antonelli in a private share purchase agreement. The purchase was made for $200,000 by Victory Partners.
On March 15, 2012, the Board of Directors executed resolutions and such became effective through filing with the State of Florida whereby the name of the Corporation was changed to Emperial Americas, Inc. and the address of the Corporation was to be made at Emperial Americas, Inc. located at Sarasota Courthouse Center, 1990 Main Street, Suite 150, Sarasota, Florida 34236. The Corporation has begun the name change formulation of corporate action with FINRA, as well as the change of CUSIP and symbol change.
Basis of Accounting
The books and records of the Company are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting which recognizes revenues when earned, regardless of when received and expenses when incurred, regardless of when paid, which is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AAA Public Adjusting Group, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Florida Claims Consultants, LLC. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Net loss per share
Net income per share is computed by dividing the net income/(loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Net income per share, diluted, is not presented as no potentially dilutive securities are outstanding.
F-6 |
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method as stipulated by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (”SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities or a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced to
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
estimated amounts to be realized by the use of a valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is applied is applied when in management’s view it is more likely than not (50%) that such deferred tax will not be utilized.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted certain provisions under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, (“ASC 740”), which provide interpretative guidance for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Effective with the Company’s adoption of these provisions, interest related to the unrecognized tax benefits is recognized in the financial statements as a component of income taxes. The Adoption of ASC 740 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
In the unlikely event that an uncertain tax position exists in which the Company could incur income taxes, the Company would evaluate whether there is a probability that the uncertain tax position taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. Reserves for uncertain tax positions would be recorded if the Company determined it is probable that a position would not be sustained upon examination or if payment would have to be made to a taxing authority and the amount is reasonably estimate. As of December 31, 2010, the Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions that would result in the Company having a liability to the taxing authorities. The Company’s tax returns are subject to examination by the federal and state tax authorities for the years ended 2006 through 2011.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues when fees due to the company are reasonably assured to be collected from our client (the insured) or by the insured’s insurance carrier and not before. Collectability is not ensured until receipt of our fee.
F-7 |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, the fair value of these instruments approximates their recorded value.
Advertising
Advertising costs, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, are expensed as costs are incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $ 11,815 and $ 21,474 respectively.
Reclassifications
Certain prior years’ comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the financial statement presentation adopted for this year.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has cumulative losses since inception are $ 538,732. The Company has a working capital deficit at December 31, 2011 of $145,165. There is no guarantee whether the Company will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support its operations. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management states that they are confident that they can improve operations and raise the appropriate funds to grow their underlying business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
NOTE 3 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective periods. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the related asset (from 5 - 7 years) using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes.
The following is a summary of property and equipment at December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012:
March 31, 2012 | December 31, 2011 | |||||||
Office furniture & equipment | $ | 26,270 | $ | 26,270 | ||||

The Company leases its new office in Hollywood, Florida facility under a lease commencing from May 1, 2011 through April 30, 2012 at a minimum annual rent of $ 12,720 (payable monthly) inclusive of related sale taxes and utilities. The Company terminated the lease at its old Location on April 29, 2010.
The Company had leased for $ 1,000 a month, an apartment and storage facility from an officer and a major stockholder of the company under a lease commencing January 01, 2009 through December 31, 20100 This lease was cancelled on July 1, 2009 with no future rents or penalties were due.
Storage leases are on a month by month basis.
Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $ 14,932 and $ 34,206 respectively.
NOTE 5 – NOTES PAYABLE-Vehicles

Total Notes Payable | $ | 35,397 | $ | 35,174 |
NOTE 6 - CONCENTRATION OF RISK
The Company had funds in excess of the $ 250,000 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (FDIC) insured limits. The company has funds on deposit with a major bank and does not believe that there is a concentration of risk factor. There is no concentration of risk regarding accounts receivable, as any single receivable is not material and there are offsetting related payables.
F-9 |
NOTE 7 - CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS
In the year ending December 31, 2010, the company sold 11,250,000 shares of restricted company stock for $35,500 cash and a stock subscription receivable of $1,500. During the year ending December 31, 2010, the company issued 2,275,000 shares of restricted company stock for services values of $6,030.
A $25,000 unsecured promissory note, bearing interest at 12% and due on or before June 1, 2009 was contributed to capital, by the president of the company, during the quarter ending March 31, 2009.
NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES
Prior to the merger in October, 2007, the Company was taxed as a limited liability company. As such, income taxes and loss benefits were recognized individually by the limited liability members.
For financial statement purposes for the period ending December 31, 2010 and 2009, the reported provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory U.S. Federal income tax rate of 34% to the loss before income taxes as follows:
Federal income taxes at statutory rate | 34 | % | ||
State tax rate, net of federal income tax | 4 | |||
Offsetting Valuation Adjustment | (38 | ) | ||
Effective income tax rate | 0 | % |
As of December 31, 2010, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $208,000 that may be offset against future taxable income through 2025. Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. No tax asset has been reported in the financial statements, due to the uncertainty that there is a 50% or greater chance the carry-forwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the loss carry forwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
NOTE 9- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
For the year ending December 31, 2010, a director and officer of the company, had received $100,000 in compensation, which was deferred.
On March 25, 2011, the company executed a master convertible note agreement, effective April 1, 2011.
This agreement allows for interest at 5%, no specific maturity date and for the conversion of debt into shares of common stock at a 25% discounted price of the 5 day average closing bid price prior to the day of execution.
Effective April 1, 2011, the nature of this $100,000 deferred compensation liability, was changed to this master convertible note payable.
F-10 |
Concurrent with this liability conversion, an independent firm purchased $28,500 of this note from the officer/director. The AAA Public Adjusting Group agreed for this $28,500 component, that the conversion rights of this note would be retained, the maturity of the note was established at 1 year from April 1, 2011, and the interest rate was adjusted to 8%. The $28,500 proceeds of this note sale were loaned by the officer/director to the company, at no interest and no specific maturity date.
NOTE 10 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
A.ACCOUNTING STANDARDS CODIFICATION
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 105-10 in June 2009, to be effective September 15, 2009. This establishes the ASC codification as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). All existing accounting standards are superseded as described in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (SFAS) No. 168, aside from those issued by the SEC. All other accounting literature not included in the Codification is non-authoritative. Adoption of this Codification as of September 30, 2009, which is reflected in our disclosures and references to accounting standards, had no change to our financial position or results of operations.
B REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) in October 2009 issued Account Standards Update (ASU) 2009-13 Revenue Recognition (Topic 605). This update provides guidance for revenue recognition consideration in multiple-deliverable contractual arrangements. The update requires that a vendor determine its best estimate of selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis. This update will be effective after June 15, 2010, and early adoption is permitted.
The Company has implemented this update effective for the years beginning January 1, 2010 and does not believe that it would have a material impact on the financial statement for the year ending December 31, 2010
C STOCKHOLDER DISTRIBUTION
In January 2010 FASB issued ASU “Equity” (Topic 505), accounting for distributions to shareholders with components of stock and cash. This amendment affects entities that declare dividends to shareholders that may be paid in cash or shares at the election of the shareholders with a potential limitation in the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate. The Company does believe that implementation of this FASB would have a material effect on the financial statements.
February 11, 2011, the Company filed an Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, in particular Article 7, with the secretary of State of Florida, Division of Corporations. The Board of Directors, pursuant to Section 607.10025, approved a fifteen for one forward division (forward split) for the common stock for all shareholders of record as of February 18, 2011. Additionally and pursuant of Section 607.10025, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution for the increase of the authorized common shares of the Corporation to be two hundred fifty million (250,000,000), made effective with the Secretary of State on February 11, 2011. Accordingly, all related common stock shares and per share amounts have been retroactively restated.

NOTE 11 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On December 14, 2011 the Registrant had announced and stated in the December 14, 2011, Form 8-K that the Company had made a transaction with Queste Capital for the purchase of shares from existing shareholders. The material agreement between AAA and Queste called for a purchase of stock by Queste from AAA that would have resulted in Queste owning 95% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock. All other material matters were set forth in the original 8-k filing of December 14, 2011.
The Company subsequently identified that there was a cancellation of such agreement with Queste Capital, and pursuant to the terms of the agreement. The parties subsequently mutually agreed that the agreement was void as of January 17, 2012. On March 2, 2012, the Company announced the cancellation of the agreement and that the shares of common stock which had been in the amount of 106,088,552 shares which were issued for such purchase would be returned from escrow with the escrow agent. On May 2, 2012, such shares were returned from the Escrow agent and were cancelled from the issued shares of the Company.
On March 12, 2012, the Corporation had the majority controlling interest of the issued and outstanding shares under Florida law purchased under an agreement with Emperial Americas, Inc. and Victory Partners, LLC. Emperial Americas, Inc. is a Florida Corporation, as set forth below.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Overview
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited financial statements and notes thereto. In connection therewith, and because the Company desires to take advantage of, the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company cautions readers regarding certain forward looking statements in the following discussion and elsewhere in this report and in any other statement made by, or on its behalf, whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company's control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward looking statements made by, or on the Company's behalf. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as "may", "anticipate", "intend", "could", "estimate", or "continue" or the negative or other comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any obligation to update forward-looking statements.

The purchase was made for $200,000 by Victory Partners.
The Agreement with Victory Partners created a acquisition of assets being the controlling shares above, and additional shares held by other parties. The exchange with Victory Partners for such shares with Emperial Americas created a direct exchange of shares for debt to Victory Partners which makes such matters an acquisition of AAA Public Adjusting Group as the surviving public company. Further disclosure on the description of the assets shall be made in an additional 8-k filing to include audited financials and pro-forma of Emperial Americas.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
REVENUES. During fiscal three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2012, we had revenues of $199,501 and $131,193 respectively. We experienced a increase in revenue due to the number of claims being settled.

OPERATING EXPENSES. Our operating expenses consist primarily of payroll and related taxes, professional and consulting services, expenses for executive and administrative personnel and insurance, telephone and communications, facilities expenses, travel and related expenses, and other general corporate expenses. Our operating expenses for fiscal 2012 were $189,956 compared to 2011 operating expenses of $281,886 a decrease of $91,930 related mainly to a decrease in general and administrative expense due to a decrease of payroll.
NET LOSS. We had a net loss of ($252,641) in fiscal year 2011 compared to a net loss of ($185,229) in fiscal 2010. The increase in net loss is primarily attributable to the decrease in revenues partially offset by reduced operating expenses as discussed above.
No trends have been identified which would materially increase or decrease our results of operations or liquidity.
