INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

 

To the Stockholder

Paladin Consulting, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Paladin Consulting, Inc., which comprise the balance sheets as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, and the related statements of income and accumulated deficit and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditors' Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Paladin Consulting, Inc. as of September 30, 2015 and 2014 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1 – SUMMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Description of Business

Paladin Consulting, Inc. (the "Company") is incorporated in the state of Texas. The Company provides permanent and temporary professional services in and near several major U.S. cities to a diverse client base across various industries.

 

Use of Estimates

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

Direct hire placement service revenues are recognized when applicants accept offers of employment, less a provision for estimated losses due to applicants not remaining employed for the Company's guarantee period. Contract staffing service revenues are recognized when services are rendered.

 

Refunds during the period are reflected in the statements of income as a reduction of revenue. Expected future refunds are reflected in the balance sheets as a reduction of accounts receivable and were approximately $15,087 and $11,715 as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

 

The Company's cash balances are maintained at various banks. Balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation subject to certain limitations.

 

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at the amounts management expects to collect. An allowance for placement fall-offs is recorded as a reduction of revenues, for estimated losses due to applicants not remaining employed for the Company's guarantee period. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded, as a charge to bad debt expense, where collection is considered to be doubtful due to credit issues. These allowances together reflect the Company's estimate of potential losses inherent in accounts receivable balances, based on historical loss and known factors impacting its customers. Management has determined that an allowance of $44,252 and $62,000 is required at September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Expected future fall-offs and refunds are reflected in the balance sheet as a reduction of accounts receivable and were approximately $15,087 and $11,715 as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is providing using the straight-line method over estimated useful life of one to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the related asset or the period of the lease.

 

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values may no longer be appropriate. Recoverability of carrying values is assessed by estimating future net cash flows from the assets. Based on management's evaluations, no impairment charge was deemed necessary at September 30, 2015 and 2014. Impairment assessment inherently involves judgment as to assumptions about expected future cash flows and the impact of market conditions on those assumptions. Future events and changing market conditions may impact management's assumptions as to sales prices, rental rates, costs, holding periods or other factors that may result in changes in the Company's estimates of future cash flows. Although management believes the assumptions used in testing for impairment are reasonable, changes in any one of the assumptions could produce a significantly different result.

 

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs, which are expensed as incurred, totaled approximately $44,376 and $77,937 for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

Income Taxes

The Company has elected S Corporation status for federal income tax purposes. Under these elections, the Company is not a taxpaying entity for federal income tax purposes and, accordingly, no provision has been made for such income taxes, except for a minimum state corporate business tax. The stockholder's allocable share of the Company's income or loss is reportable on their income tax returns.

 

Subsequent Events

These financial statements were approved by management and available for issuance on March 15, 2016. Management has evaluated subsequent events through this date.
