TEARDROPPERS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2015 AND 2014
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
On June 3, 2013, Teardroppers, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”), was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada.
We intend to enter the business of mobile billboard advertising by offering to provide billboard advertising space on custom designed "Teardrop Trailers". Teardrop Trailers, are usually designed for short-period accommodations for vacationers and travelers. Teardrop Trailers are designed to be towed behind small economy sized vehicles and pickup trucks.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Condensed Unaudited Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In our opinion the financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the final results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2015. For more complete financial information, these unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC.
Development Stage Company
The Company is in the development stage as defined under the then current Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 915-205 "Development-Stage Entities," and among the additional disclosures required as a development stage company are that our financial statements were identified as those of a development stage company, and that the statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows disclosed activity since the date of our inception (June 3, 2013) as a development stage company. Effective June 10, 2014 FASB changed its regulations with respect to Development Stage Entities and these additional disclosures are no longer required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 with the option for entities to early adopt these new provisions. Consequently these additional disclosures have not been included in these financial statements.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Such estimates include management’s assessments of the carrying value of certain assets, useful lives of assets, and related depreciation and amortization methods applied.
Cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had no cash equivalents.
Financial Instruments
Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820-10 establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:
| 6 |
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and must be used to measure fair value whenever available.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs which reflect a reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use for pricing an asset or liability. For example, level 3 inputs would relate to forecasts of future earnings and cash flows used in a discounted future cash flows method.
The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and deferred revenue approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The Company’s note payable approximates the fair value of such instruments based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
The Company had no assets and/or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, using the market and income approaches.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the assets estimated useful life of three (3) years for equipment, five (5) years for automobile, and seven (7) years for furniture and fixtures. Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in statements of operations.
Impairment of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets
In the event that facts and circumstances indicated that the cost of long-lived and intangible assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability will be performed. If an evaluation is required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset were compared to the asset's carrying amount to determine if a write-down to market value or discounted cash flow value is required.
Commitments and contingencies
The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB ASC to report accounting for contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.
Revenue recognition
The Company follows paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB ASC for revenue recognition. The Company will recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. In addition, the Company records allowances for accounts receivable that are estimated to not be collected.
Advertising costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Company recorded no advertising costs during the three months ending March 31, 2015 and 2014.
Income taxes
The Company follows Section 740-10-30 of the FASB ASC, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the fiscal year in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
| 7 |
The Company adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB ASC (“Section 740-10-25”) with regards to uncertainty in income taxes. Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its assets and/or liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of Section 740-10-25.
Stock-based compensation
In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB ASC No. 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC No. 718”). Under ASC No. 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant. The Company applies this statement prospectively.
Equity instruments (“instruments”) issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by ASC No. 718. FASB ASC No. 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees, defines the measurement date and recognition period for such instruments. In general, the measurement date is when either (a) a performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the FASB ASC.
Net income (loss) per share
The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share amounts pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB ASC. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock during the period. The diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted as of the first day of the year for any potentially diluted debt or equity.
There were no potentially dilutive debt or equity instruments issued or outstanding during the three month periods ended March 31, 2015 or 2014.
Subsequent events
The Company follows the guidance in Section 855-10-50 of the FASB ASC for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will evaluate subsequent events through the date when the financial statements were issued.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on our financial condition or the results of its operations.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to recoverability and classification of recorded amounts of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company has incurred losses since inception, has accumulated losses of $520,440 and a working capital deficit of $452,107 as of March 31, 2015. Its continued existence is dependent upon its ability to continue to execute its operating plan and to obtain additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance the necessary debt or equity financing will be available, or will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.

NOTE 8 – STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
At the time of incorporation, the Company was authorized to issue 10,000 shares of common stock and 1,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001. The Company amended its articles of incorporation to increase it authorized shares to 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, both $0.001 par value.
In the period from inception, June 3, 2013 to December 31, 2013, the Company issue 36,600,000 shares of common stock of which 36,000,000 were to six founders, 450,000 shares were for $9,000 cash and 150,000 shares were for consulting services. The shares issued for consulting services were valued at $0.02, the average price of stock sold for cash which resulted in the Company recording a consulting expense of $3,000. Of the stock issued for cash, $1,000 was not received till 2014 and therefore was recorded as a stock subscription receivable.

In addition, we ordered a "Kit" from the Partnership, along with a custom chassis from an independent supplier recommended by the Partnership, which enables us to assemble our first Teardrop Trailer. The Teardrop Trailer assembled from this Kit was assembled by an independent contractor and was delivered to us on December 31, 2014. Due to manufacturing limitations of the Partnership, we determined that it would be faster and more efficient to assemble a completed Teardrop Trailer from a Kit then to wait for delivery of a completed Teardrop Trailer from the Partnership. In the future, we intend to obtain additional Teardrop Trailers by using a Kit and independent contractors to assemble the Kit.
The Teardrop Trailer
Teardrop Trailers are designed to be towed behind small economy sized vehicles, pickup trucks and any qualified tow vehicles. A Teardrop Trailer, also known as a "Teardrop Camper Trailer", is a streamlined, compact, lightweight travel trailer, which gets its name from its teardrop profile. We have ordered the assembly of one Teardrop Mobile Trailer from the Partnership at a contract price of $5,000. The cost to assemble the Teardrop Trailer from the Kit is a total of $4,995($3,000 for the Kit, $495 for the chassis, and $1,500 for the services of the independent contractor to assemble the Kit on the chassis.)
Our Teardrop Trailers will be approximately 4 feet (1.2 m) in width and 10 feet (3.0 m) in length and 5 feet (1.5 m) in height Wheels and tires are outside the body and are covered by fenders. Our Teardrop Trailers will be covered with thin sheets of aluminum. Since Teardrop Trailers are relatively light, most vehicles can tow a Teardrop Trailer and have little effect on the vehicle's fuel consumption. We do not intend to lease our Teardrop Trailers for camping or recreational use. However, our first trailer will be configured in a camping trailer configuration so as to enhance the residual value of the trailer. We believe that some of our future rental customers, who will rent our trailers for longer periods, may use the interior space for their personnel's comfort or for storage.
Our trailers will be assembled upon a chassis that has tail lights, wiring, fenders, wheels and a trailer hitch that is compliant with Federal and State regulations. We have no formal relationship with any trailer chassis manufacturer, but we believe that many manufacturers will continue to offer a chassis that we will utilize in our trailers. In the event that chassis become unavailable, our business would be adversely affected as we would then have to adjust our designs to fit chassis available from other sources.
Marketing
We intend to market our advertising and design services through our website www.tdropmobile.com. We have hired an independent web-site developer to develop our website, which was completed on December 14, 2014. In addition, we intend to offer our mobile billboard advertising services through traditional marketing channels, such as trade journals, trade catalogues, yellow pages advertising, and through the personal contacts of our Management. Marketing of our mobile billboard advertising has already commenced as we have made several proposals to motor sports events and advertisers to use our services. We also market our consulting services through personal contacts of our officers and majority shareholder.

We plan to order additional Teardrop Trailers or Kits from either the Partnership, or independent Computer Numerical Control ("CNC") contractors. The CNC contractor will use the plans and designs provided by the Partnership. The Teardrop Trailer we ordered will be assembled on trailer chassis that we have obtained from an independent trailer chassis manufacturer.
We have chosen the unique shape and look of a Teardrop Trailer as our advertising platform as we believe its "eye appeal" will be attractive to a target audience's view and retention of the adverting images which will appear on the Teardrop Trailer.
In May of 2014, we acquired two fully restored "Classic" vehicles with the intention that these vehicles be used to tow our Teardrop trailers and to be used as marketing vehicles for our business. We acquired a 1959 Chevrolet Apache Fleetside pick-up truck (the "Apache") and a 1979 Ford Ranchero. On September 1, 2014, we returned the Apache to the seller and the consideration (333,333 of our shares valued at $50,000) was returned to us. The Ranchero vehicle will be available to be leased as a tow vehicle with our Teardrop trailers or it can be leased independently from the trailers. We believe that the use of this vehicle in conjunction with a Teardrop Trailer, will enhance the attractiveness of our advertising offerings to potential lessees.
We intend to offer advertising space on our trailers. Advertisement will be installed by applying decals, large vinyl sheets as decals or by fastening one large sheet of vinyl to the sides and top of the trailer. In addition, we will offer to provide our tow vehicle and a driver.
We believe that the mobile billboard outdoor advertising will offer to advertisers:
| · | Event Marketing |
| · | New Product Launches |
| · | Retail Store Openings |
| · | Grand Openings |
| · | Tradeshow Advertising |
| · | Political Advertising and Campaigning |
| · | Publicity |
| · | Concerts |
| · | Sporting Events |
| · | Conventions |
| · | Trade Shows |
| · | Outdoor Festivals |
| · | Beach Cities and Events |
| · | Grand Openings |
| · | Holiday Events |
| · | Motion Picture Premiers |
| 12 |
We believe that mobile billboard outdoor advertising offers certain advantages to advertisers, among which include:
| · | Mobile trailers are flexible providing one with a wide variety of space and cost options, which can be used for anything from short sales promotions to being part of a long-term brand awareness campaign. |
| · | Instead of hoping people see an advertisement, the advertisements are brought to them. |
| · | They are more cost effective than other forms of advertising. |
| · | We can park the trailer in front of a business or a competitor's. |
| · | We can thoroughly saturate a specific area unlike regular billboards, radio, TV or direct mail. |
| · | We can provide specific demographic routes so that there are multiple exposures. |
| · | Mobile billboards create impact because of their movement, size and prominence on the road and can go where other advertising can’t. They merely have to be visible to attract attention. |
| · | We can provide advertisements in the middle of all the activity at a special event like a tournament, fair, tradeshow, sporting event et. al. |
| · | As they are eye-level with consumers, the message is communicated directly, increasing the impact of the product. |
We will also offer to work closely with our clients to fully understand the client's marketing objectives. We will used our best efforts to identify the highest profile locations in our client's target market in order to provide the most efficient, high exposure, high impact and cost-effective mobile billboard advertising campaign.
At every stage of the process, our services will include design, branding and selection of graphics, to achieve maximum results.
Audio, illumination, promotional sampling and other sensory elements can be added to further enhance an advertising message.
Our rates will be negotiated at time of agreement with our client. Our rates will be based upon the range of services, length of the advertising contract, number of vehicles used, miles traveled, length of campaign, ancillary costs and other variables. Generally, we anticipate our rates to be $995 for the design and application, and removal of graphics to a trailer; $295 per day for the use of the trailer; $175 per day for a tow vehicle and driver, based upon a 6 hour day. There will be a 3 day minimum for each trailer rental.
