First Titan Corp.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2013


NOTE 1. GENERAL ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS


First Titan Corp. (the “Company”), a Florida corporation, was formed to design and manufacture both panel and engineered/tooled custom vacuum formed instrument panels and wiring harnesses, required for the monitoring of any final product that utilizes a gas or diesel engine source. The Company is currently primarily an oil and gas exploration company.


The Company was incorporated on September 16, 2010 with our corporate headquarters located in Bradenton, Florida. The Company’s year-end is September 30.


On September 16, 2011, First Titan Corporation created First Titan Energy, LLC for the purpose of investing in oil and gas properties, greenfield projects and in the development of cutting edge exploration and production technologies.


On September 16, 2011, we formed a new subsidiary company —First Titan Technical, LLC—to commence business operations designing and marketing automotive electronics custom-designed for heavy-duty vehicles. The Company has received funding of $25,000 which will be used to implement the initial phase of our business plan.


NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN


For the three months ended December 31, 2013, the Company had a net loss of $380,521 and negative cash flow from operating activities of $117,240. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has negative working capital of $145,026. Although the Company began receiving revenue on October 1, 2012, management does not anticipate having positive cash flow from operations in the near future.


These factors raise a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.


The Company does not have the resources at this time to repay its credit and debt obligations, make any payments in the form of dividends to its shareholders or fully implement its business plan. Without additional capital, the Company will not be able to remain in business.


Management has plans to address the Company’s financial situation as follows:


In the near term, management plans to continue to focus on raising the funds necessary to fully implement the Company’s business plan. Management will continue to seek out debt financing to obtain the capital required to meet the Company’s financial obligations. There is no assurance, however, that lenders will continue to advance capital to the Company or that the new business operations will be profitable. The possibility of failure in obtaining additional funding and the potential inability to achieve profitability raise doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.


In the long term, management believes that the Company’s projects and initiatives will be successful and will provide cash flow to the Company which will be used to finance the Company’s future growth. However, there can be no assurances that the Company’s planned activities will be successful, or that the Company will ultimately attain profitability. The Company’s long term viability depends on its ability to obtain adequate sources of debt or equity funding to meet current commitments and fund the continuation of its business operations, and the ability of the Company to ultimately achieve adequate profitability and cash flows from operations to sustain its operations.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES


Interim Financial Statements


These financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2013 and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K on April 1, 2014. 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 disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 have been omitted.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Consolidated Financial Statements


The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, First Titan Energy, LLC and First Titan Technical, LLC, from the date of their formation. Significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


Credit Risk Due to Certain Concentrations


We extend credit, primarily in the form of uncollateralized oil and gas sales through the operators of our working interests, to various companies in the oil and gas industry, which results in a concentration of credit risk. The concentration of credit risk may be affected by changes in economic or other conditions within our industry and may accordingly impact our overall credit risk. However, we believe that the risk of these unsecured receivables is mitigated by the nature of the companies to which we extend credit. For the three months ended December 31, 2013, two operators accounted for 81% and 19% of our oil and gas sales. Those operators account for 100% and 0% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2013. We did not recognize any credit losses during the three months ended December 31, 2013. We have not recognized an allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2013. All amounts receivable as of December 31, 2013 were collected subsequent to year end.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


All cash, other than held in escrow, is maintained with a major financial institution in the United States. Deposits with this bank may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Temporary cash investments with an original maturity of six months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013.


Oil and Gas Properties


The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for its oil and gas properties, whereby all costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, exploration for and development of petroleum and natural gas reserves are capitalized. Such costs include lease acquisition, geological and geophysical activities, rentals on non-producing leases, drilling, completing and equipping of oil and gas wells and administrative costs directly attributable to those activities and asset retirement costs. Disposition of oil and gas properties are accounted for as a reduction of capitalized costs, with no gain or loss recognized unless such adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capital costs and proved reserves of oil, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations.


8



Depletion of capitalized oil and gas properties and estimated future development costs, excluding unproved properties, are based on the units-of-production method based on proved reserves. The company recognized $22,900 and $5,004 of depletion during the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Net capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, less related deferred taxes, are limited to the lower of unamortized cost or the cost ceiling, defined as the sum of the present value of estimated future net revenues from proved reserves based on unescalated prices discounted at 10 percent, plus the cost of properties not being amortized, if any, plus the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproved properties included in the costs being amortized, if any, less related income taxes. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has oil and gas properties in the amount of $200,575 which are being excluded from amortization because they have not been evaluated to determine whether proved reserves are associated with those properties. Costs in excess of the present value of estimated future net revenues as discussed above are charged to impairment expense. The Company applies the full cost ceiling test on a quarterly basis on the date of the latest balance sheet presented.


Based on management’s review, 100% of the unproved oil and gas properties balance as of December 31, 2013 is expected to be added to amortization during the year ending September 30, 2014. The table below sets forth the cost of unproved properties excluded from the amortization base as of December 31, 2013 and notes the year in which the associated costs were incurred:

Asset retirement costs are recognized when the asset is placed in service, and are included in the amortization base and amortized over proved reserves using the units of production method. Asset retirement costs are estimated by management using existing regulatory requirements and anticipated future inflation rates.


Common Stock


The Company records common stock issuances when all of the legal requirements for the issuance of such common stock have been satisfied.


Earnings (Loss) per Share


The basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The diluted earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common Shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted as of the first of the year for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There are no diluted shares outstanding for any periods reported.


Revenue Recognition


Sales of crude oil are recognized when the delivery to the purchaser has occurred and title has been transferred. This occurs when oil has been delivered to a pipeline or a tank lifting has occurred. Crude oil is priced on the delivery date based upon prevailing prices published by purchasers with certain adjustments related to oil quality and physical location.


Financial Instruments


In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) introduced a framework for measuring fair value and expanded required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities.  The Company adopted the standard for those financial assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the 2008 fiscal year and the impact of adoption was not significant. FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:


9



·

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

 

 

·

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

 

·

Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.


Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2013. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued compensation and accrued expenses. The fair value of the Company’s notes payable is estimated based on current rates that would be available for debt of similar terms which is not significantly different from its stated value.


On September 16, 2010, the Company applied ASC 820 for all non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The adoption of ASC 820 for non-financial assets and liabilities did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.


The following table presents assets that were measured and recognized at fair value as of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013 and the periods then ended on a recurring and nonrecurring basis:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements


In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, to improve the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. Other comprehensive income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period. Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments in the ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information that this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under U.S. GAAP. The new amendments will require an organization to:


·

Present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income - but only if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period; and

 

 

·

Cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP for other reclassification items (that are not required under U.S. GAAP) to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is initially transferred to a balance sheet account (e.g., inventory for pension-related amounts) instead of directly to income or expense.


10



The amendments apply to all public and private companies that report items of other comprehensive income. Public companies are required to comply with these amendments for all reporting periods (interim and annual). The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, for public companies. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-02 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.


In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which clarifies which instruments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements originally established by ASU 2011-11. The new ASU addresses preparer concerns that the scope of the disclosure requirements under ASU 2011-11 was overly broad and imposed unintended costs that were not commensurate with estimated benefits to financial statement users. In choosing to narrow the scope of the offsetting disclosures, the Board determined that it could make them more operable and cost effective for preparers while still giving financial statement users sufficient information to analyze the most significant presentation differences between financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and those prepared under IFRSs. Like ASU 2011-11, the amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning on, or after January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-01 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.


In October 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04. The amendments in this update cover a wide range of Topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. These amendments include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification and conforming amendments related to fair value measurements. The amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.


In August 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-03, “Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 114, Technical Amendments Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-9250, and Corrections Related to FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-22 (SEC Update)” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-03. This update amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SAB No. 114. The adoption of ASU 2012-03 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.


In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02. This update amends ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment and permits an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with Subtopic 350-30, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - General Intangibles Other than Goodwill. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 has not had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.


In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, “Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. This update defers the requirement to present items that are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income in both the statement of income where net income is presented and the statement where other comprehensive income is presented. The adoption of ASU 2011-12 has not had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.


In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11 “Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”). This Update requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The objective of this disclosure is to facilitate comparison between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S. GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of IFRS. The amended guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of this pronouncement may have on its results of operations or financial position.

NOTE 4. INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE


On October 11, 2013, we entered into a joint venture agreement with Biofuels Power Corp. The purpose of the joint venture is to explore business opportunities in the natural gas conversion business. Biofuels Power Corp. will operate the joint venture. Under the terms of the agreement, we will contribute introductions and consulting with respect to marketing and introductions for business. In addition, we will fund up to $100,000 in monthly contributions of $20,000. These contributions are solely at the discretion of the Company. In exchange for the contributions, we will receive common stock of Biofuels Power Corp. at two-thirds of the market price of the common stock.


During the three months ended December 31, 2013, we contributed $25,000 to the joint venture. Although the Company feels that this is a viable investment, management has determined that it had to impair the investment in the joint venture with Biofuels Power Corp. There are no financial records which would support the valuation of the investment. As a result, we recognized a loss on the impairment of $25,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2013.


NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


The officers and directors of the Company are involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities that become available. They may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and other business interests. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.


NOTE 6. ADVANCES FROM THIRD PARTIES


During the three months ended December 31, 2013, the Company received net, non-interest bearing advances from certain third parties totaling $44,650. The total amount due under these advances as of December 31, 2013 was $44,650. These advances are not collateralized, non-interest bearing and are due on demand. During the three months ended December 31, 2013, we recognized imputed interest expense in the amount of $1,686 on these advances.


NOTE 7. CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE


During the three months ended December 31, 2013, the holders of the Convertible Note Payable dated February 28, 2013 elected to convert principal and accrued interest in the amounts shown below into shares of common stock at a rate of $0.04 per share. On the conversion date, the unamortized discount related to the principal amount converted was immediately amortized to interest expense. No gain or loss was recognized on the conversions as they occurred within the terms of the agreement which provided for conversion at $0.04 per share.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION


Overview


First Titan Corp. is a development stage company and was incorporated in Florida on September 16, 2010. The Company intended to design and manufacture both panel and engineered/tooled custom vacuum formed instrument panels and wiring harnesses, required for the monitoring of any final product that utilizes a gas or diesel engine source. The Company was considered to be in the development stage in accordance with ASC 915 until October 1, 2012 when it began receiving revenue.


We intend to invest in oil and gas properties, greenfield projects and in the development of cutting edge exploration and production technologies.


In September 2011, First Titan Corporation created First Titan Energy, LLC with the goal of capitalizing on the booming oil and gas industry. It is our intention to maximize shareholder value through mergers and acquisitions, greenfield projects and investments in the development of cutting edge exploration and production technologies.


First Titan Energy’s oil and gas development activities include the following:


Alabama – On May 2, 2012, we acquired a one percent working interest in one well in Little Cedar Creek Field in Alabama. This well was drilled during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 and we began receiving revenue during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. This well is located in the Little Cedar Field, Alabama’s largest producing oil field.


Louisiana – On January 3, 2012, we entered into a participation agreement in an oil and gas drilling project in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana (the “Participation Agreement”). The South Lake Charles Prospect is located seven miles south of the city of Lake Charles, Louisiana. It is a middle Oligocene age geo-pressured prospect located in the middle and lower hackberry sands. Under the terms of the Participation Agreement, we will participate in the drilling of one well and may participate in the drilling of future wells if it chooses. We will pay 25% of the drilling cost of the first well and will receive 13.59% of the net revenue from the well. We anticipate that our share of the total drilling and completion cost of the initial well, projected to be drilled to approximately 15,500 feet, will be $3.4 million. On August 12, 2013, the Participation Agreement was amended to reduce our working interest to 1.8%. As a result, our share of the drilling cost is expected to be approximately $181,000. The Company has paid $143,264 of its share of the costs of the well to date. We will receive 1.4% of the revenue from this well. The well is currently being drilled and is expected to be completed in the first half of fiscal 2014.


During October 2012, we acquired a working interest in the Lake Boeuf Field in Southeast Louisiana. The field covers 300 acres in Lafourche Parish. The prospect was a 12,025 directional well to be drilled utilizing a land rig. The project has been indefinitely suspended. All amounts invested in this project have been transferred to the South Lake Charles Prospect.


TexasMinns Project – On July 7, 2013, the Company acquired a 30% working interest in the Minns project located in Waller County, Texas.  The project included three producing wells and a salt water disposal well within the Brookshire Field.  The project is targeted for additional development vis-à-vis reworks, deepening of wells, and potentially drilling new wells on the property.


Big Canyon Prospect – On January 19, 2012, we entered into an agreement to drill two wells on 640 acres of land located in Terrell County, Texas. Our option to drill expired January 27, 2013 and no wells have been drilled.


We have incurred losses since inception, have been issued a going concern opinion from our auditors and rely upon the sale of our securities and debt financing to fund operations. We will need additional financing in order to continue operations.


Results of Operations


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed financial statements contained elsewhere in this document and in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013. Results for interim periods may not be indicative of results for the full year.


We incurred a net loss of $380,521 for the three months ended December 31, 2013, and had a working capital deficit of $145,026 as of December 31, 2013. We do not anticipate having positive net income or positive cash flows from operations in the immediate future. Net cash used by operations for the three months ended December 31, 2013 was $117,240.  These conditions create an uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern.


14



We continue to rely on advances to fund operating shortfalls and do not foresee a change in this situation in the immediate future. There can be no assurance that we will continue to have such advances available. We will not be able to continue operations without them. We are pursuing alternate sources of financing, but there is no assurance that additional capital will be available to the Company when needed or on acceptable terms.


We have generated limited revenues from our operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including the financial risks associated with the limited capital resources currently available to us for the implementation of our business strategies. To become profitable and competitive, we must develop the business and marketing plan and execute the plan. Our management will attempt to secure financing through various means including borrowing and investment from institutions and private individuals.


Since inception, the majority of our time has been spent refining our business plan.


Results of Operations for the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2012


Oil and gas sales


We earned net revenue of $32,210 during the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to revenue of $23,957 for the comparable period of 2012. Revenue increased because there were two producing wells during the three months ended December 31, 2013 compared to only one well during the same period of 2012.  


Lease operating expense


We incurred lease operating expense of $3,817 and $312 during the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Lease operating expense has increased as a resulting of adding the second well which has higher operating expense.


Depletion, depreciation and amortization


We incurred depletion expense of $22,900 and $5,004 during the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. The depletion rate has increased from 2012 to 2013 due to the decrease in the reserves estimated in the reserve report as of September 30, 2013.


Impairment of investment in joint venture


During the three months ended December 31, 2013, we recognized impairment of an investment in a joint venture of $25,000 as a result of impairing the investment in the joint venture with Biofuels Power Corp.


General and Administrative Expenses


General and administrative expenses increased in the three months ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2012 from $77,781 to $165,068. The increase in general and administrative expense was primarily due to an increase in consulting fees and office expense.


Loss from Operations


The increase in our loss from operations for the three months ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the comparable period of 2012 from $59,144 to $184,923 is due to the increase in general and administrative expenses described above.


Interest expense


We incurred interest expense of $195,598 during the three months ended December 31, 2013 and $36,863 during the comparable period of 2012. Interest expense increased as a result of the increase in convertible notes payable.


Net Loss


We recognized a net loss of $380,521 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 as compared to a net loss of $96,007 for the three months ended December 31, 2012. The change in net loss is primarily attributable to the decrease in general and administrative expense described above.


15



Liquidity and Capital Resources


We anticipate needing approximately of $500,000 to fund our operations and to effectively execute our business plan over the next eighteen months. Currently available cash is not sufficient to allow us to commence full execution of our business plan. Our business expansion will require significant capital resources that may be funded through the issuance of common stock or of notes payable or other debt arrangements that may affect our debt structure. Despite our current financial status we believe that we may be able to issue notes payable or debt instruments in order to start executing our business plan. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise money in this fashion and have not entered into any agreements that would obligate a third party to provide us with capital.


During the three months ended December 31, 2013, we incurred a net loss of $380,521. We raised the cash amounts to be used in these activities from advances. As of December 31, 2013, we have negative working capital of $145,026.


As of December 31, 2013, we had $29,659 of cash on hand. This amount of cash will be adequate to fund our operations for less than three months.


As of the date of this filing, the current funds available to the Company will not be sufficient to continue maintaining a reporting status. Management believes if the Company cannot maintain its reporting status with the SEC it will have to cease all efforts directed towards the Company. As such, any investment previously made would be lost in its entirety.


To date, the Company has been able to fund operations through the sale of stock and by obtaining cash advances. The Company will have to seek additional financing in the future. However, the Company may not be able to obtain additional capital or generate sufficient revenues to fund our operations. If we are unsuccessful at raising sufficient funds to fund our operations, the Company may be forced to seek a buyer for our business or another entity with which we could create a joint venture. If all of these alternatives fail, we expect that the Company will be required to seek protection from creditors under applicable bankruptcy laws.


Our independent auditor has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and believes that our ability is dependent on our ability to implement our business plan, raise capital and generate revenues. See Note 2 of our financial statements.


Recent federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements. Others have been adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities exchanges, such as the NYSE or The NASDAQ Stock Market, on which their securities are listed. Among the corporate governance measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges are those that address board of directors’ independence, audit committee oversight, and the adoption of a code of ethics. Our Board of Directors is comprised of one individual who is also our executive officer. Our executive officer makes decisions on all significant corporate matters such as the approval of terms of the compensation of our executive officer and the oversight of the accounting functions.


The Company has not yet adopted any of these corporate governance measures, and since our securities are not yet listed on a national securities exchange, the Company is not required to do so. The Company has not adopted corporate governance measures such as an audit or other independent committees of our board of directors as we presently do not have any independent directors. If we expand our board membership in future periods to include additional independent directors, the Company may seek to establish an audit and other committees of our board of directors. It is possible that if our Board of Directors included independent directors and if we were to adopt some or all of these corporate governance measures, stockholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurances that internal corporate decisions were being made by disinterested directors and that policies had been implemented to define responsible conduct. For example, in the absence of audit, nominating and compensation committees comprised of at least a majority of independent directors, decisions concerning matters such as compensation packages to our senior officers and recommendations for director nominees may be made by a majority of directors who have an interest in the outcome of the matters being decided. Prospective investors should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of December 31, 2013. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


 

1.

As of December 31, 2013, we did not maintain effective controls over the control environment. Specifically we have not developed and effectively communicated to our employees its accounting policies and procedures. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.

 

 

 

 

2.

As of December 31, 2013, we did not maintain effective controls over financial statement disclosure. Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.


Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.


Changes in internal controls over financial reporting


There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
