ePunk, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the Three Months Ended December 31, 2011
Note A-Organization and Going Concern
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited financial statements of ePunk, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and for the three months ended December 31, 2011 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended September 30, 2011 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of our Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year.
Organization
ePunk, Inc. (the “Company”)(formerly Truesport Alliances & Entertainment, Ltd.) (formerly Sewell Ventures, Inc.) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 27, 2007.
On December 16, 2009, the Company acquired Seven Base Consulting, LLC, a privately owned Nevada limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 17, 2008.
On January 15, 2010, the Company name was changed with the State of Delaware from Sewell Ventures, Inc. to Truesport Alliances, Ltd., and on January 29, 2010, the Company changed its state of incorporation to the State of Nevada
On April 22, 2011, the Company and Seven Base Consulting, LLC entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization whereby the Company divested all Seven Base Consulting, LLC business related assets, liabilities and rights to the operation of the Seven Base Consulting, LLC business to Seven Base Consulting, LLC in exchange for the return of 90,000 shares of Truesport Alliances & Entertainment, Ltd. Common stock held by Seven Base Consulting, LLC members. As a result of this transaction all the Company’s assets were transferred and the Company kept certain notes payable totaling approximately $359,000.
On June 15, 2011, Excelsior Management, LLC, (“Seller”) as agent for the beneficial owners of a total of 202,852 shares of common stock of ePunk, Inc. (fka Truesport Alliances & Entertainment, Ltd.), entered into a stock purchase agreement with Richard Jesse Gonzales, Justin Matthew Dornan, and Frank J. Drechsler (the “Purchasers”) for the sale and purchase of the Common Shares. As a result of the execution of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Excelsior sold, 65.75% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company to the Purchasers in exchange for $23,451.97.
On June 20, 2011 a majority of the shareholders of the Company approved the appointment of Richard Jesse Gonzales, Justin Matthew Dornan, and Frank J. Drechsler to the Board of Directors. In addition, at such time, Richard Jesse Gonzales was appointed the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Justin Matthew Dornan as Treasurer, and Frank J. Drechsler as Secretary. None of the appointed directors or officers entered into an employment agreement with the Company.
On June 20, 2011, the board of directors and a majority of the shareholders of the Company approved the name change of the Company from TrueSport Alliance & Entertainment, Ltd. to ePunk, Inc. On June 20, 2011, the Company amended Article 1 of its Articles of Incorporation to change the Company’s name to ePunk, Inc.
On June 20, 2011, the shareholders and the board of directors of ePunk authorized a 1 for 100 reverse stock split. FINRA approved the reverse split on June 28, 2011 and declared the reverse split effective as of July 5, 2011.
ePunk, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the Three Months Ended December 31, 2011
Note A-Organization and Going Concern (Continued)
On June 30, 2011, The board and majority of the shareholders of the Company approved the issuance of 24,750,000 shares of common stock in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Punk Industries, Inc. causing Punk Industries, Inc. to become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Punk Industries, Inc. was formed in February 2011 to develop off-road vehicle distribution. The Merger was accounted for as a “reverse merger,” as the stockholders of Punk Industries, Inc. owned a majority of the outstanding shares of ePunk, Inc. common stock immediately following the Merger. Punk Industries, Inc. was deemed to be the acquirer in the reverse merger. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations of Punk Industries, Inc. prior to the Merger are reflected in the financial statements at the historical cost basis of Punk Industries, Inc. The Company's consolidated financial statements include the assets and liabilities of both ePunk, Inc. and Punk Industries, Inc., the historical operations of Punk Industries, Inc. and the Company's continuing operations from the Effective Date of the Merger. The Company accounted for the merger under recapitalization accounting whereby the equity of the acquiring enterprise (Punk Industries, Inc.) is presented as the equity of the combined enterprise and the capital stock account of the acquiring enterprise is adjusted to reflect the par value of the outstanding stock of the legal acquirer (ePunk, Inc.) after giving effect to the number of shares issued in the business combination. Shares retained by the legal acquirer (ePunk, Inc.) are reflected as an issuance as of the reverse merger date (June 30, 2011) for the historical amount of the net assets of the acquired entity.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ePunk, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Punk Industries, Inc. which are 100% consolidated in the financial statements.
Going Concern
In its report with respect to the Company’s financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2011, the Company’s independent auditors expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Because the Company has not yet generated sufficient revenues from its operations, its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing. Currently, the Company is seeking additional financing but has no commitments to obtain any such financing, and there can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. In the course of funding development and sales and marketing activities, the Company has sustained operating losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $165,426 and $74,843 at December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011, respectively. In addition, the Company has negative working capital of $497,118 and $397,561 at December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011, respectively. The Company will continue to use capital to market its products and may not be profitable for the foreseeable future. These factors raise doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In this regard, management is proposing to raise any necessary additional funds not provided by operations through loans or through additional sales of their common stock. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising this additional capital. If adequate funds are not available on reasonable terms or at all, it would result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition and prospects.
In view of these conditions, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations and on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. These consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which will be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
NOTE B – INVENTORY
Inventories are comprised of finished goods ready for resale and are stated at the lower of cost or market, as determined using the average costing method.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the Three Months Ended December 31, 2011
NOTE C – INTANGIBLE ASSETS
On February 25, 2011, the Company issued 24,750,000 shares to Jesse Gonzales our CEO in exchange for three fully functional and running websites: www.CountyImports.com, www.CountyImportParts.com and www.CountyCrusiers.com valued at $12,500 which is less than the cost paid by Mr. Gonzales. The websites require periodic maintenance and updating in order to maintain their competitiveness. These costs can be significant relative to their carrying costs and are expensed as incurred. The Company is amortizing these assets using the straight-line method over seven years. In addition, the Company performs an annual assessment to determine if the carrying value of these assets has been impaired. For the three months ended December 31, 2011, amortization expense was $446.
NOTE D - DEPOSITS
Deposits are comprised of amounts related to our facilities and local electricity provider.
NOTE E - ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED EXPENSES
Accounts payable and accrued expenses at December 31, 2011 consisted of $5,587 of professional services and $92,857 of trade payables.

On June 16, 2011, the promissory notes that remained obligations of the Company after the divestiture of our prior business operations under TrueSport Alliances & Entertainment, Ltd. (i.e., the above notes due to: Rico Italia Investments, Inc., Excelsior Management, LLC and Palatine Capital Investment Group, LLC) and totaling approximately $359,000 of principle and interest were purchased by three separate parties for a total purchase price of $99,196. Then, on June 24, 2011 the Company and holders of the notes entered into an amendment to the convertible promissory notes changing the original conversion price from 50 percent below the average trading price for the five day period prior to the date of conversion, with a minimum conversion price of $0.50 per share and a maximum conversion price of $1.50 per share to a stated conversion price of $0.01 per share. Per ASC 470-20-25-12, no portion of the proceeds from these notes are attributable to the modification of the conversion feature as at the time the conversion can be made at the option of the holder at a specified price, the conversion price does not decrease, the debt was originally sold at the face amount, the interest rate is lower than the Company would pay for non-convertible debt and the conversion price was greater than the perceived market value of the stock due to the divestiture of the Company’s only business. In addition, the Company had experienced significant operating losses and shareholder dilution, in the event of a conversion an attempt to sell converted shares would most likely result in a lower stock price due to the lack of share volume traded on the secondary markets. Due to the foregoing, the perceived market value of the stock was less than the conversion price leaving significant uncertainty about the future trading price of the stock and the ability to recover the face amount of the debt.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q which address activities, events or developments which the Company expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including such things as future capital expenditures (including the amount and nature thereof); finding suitable merger or acquisition candidates; expansion and growth of the Company's business and operations; and other such matters are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors it believes are appropriate under the circumstances. However, whether actual results or developments will conform with the Company's expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including general economic, market and business conditions; the business opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to and pursued by the Company; changes in laws or regulation; and other factors, most of which are beyond the control of the Company.
These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of predictive, future-tense or forward-looking terminology, such as "believes," "anticipates," "expects," "estimates," "plans," "may," "will," or similar terms. These statements appear in a number of places in this Filing and include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company, and its directors or its officers with respect to, among other things: (i) trends affecting the Company's financial condition or results of operations for its limited history; (ii) the Company's business and growth strategies; and, (iii) the Company's financing plans. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve significant risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Such factors that could adversely affect actual results and performance include, but are not limited to, the Company's limited operating history, potential fluctuations in quarterly operating results and expenses, government regulation, technological change and competition.
Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by the Company will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequence to or effects on the Company or its business or operations. The Company assumes no obligations to update any such forward-looking statements.
Business
ePunk, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries and predecessors, unless the context requires otherwise, “ePunk,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a distributor of power sports products and accessories, including scooters, motorcycles (on road and off road), all-terrain vehicles (“ATVs”) utility terrain vehicles (“UTVs”), karts and buggies through its website properties CountyImports.com, CountyImportParts.com, BidPunks.com, ViperSportUSA.com, CountyCruisers.com, PCHRides.com and through our storefront, Pacific Coast House of Rides located in Dana Point, California. Marketing of our products is targeted toward value conscious consumers that find the price point of off-brand products attractive, but that still demand quality. We believe there is a consistently strong demand for the products we market and sell.
We are establishing the CountyImports.com brand in the online marketplace by offering high-quality merchandise, a unique, user-friendly shopping experience and the opportunity for buyers to achieve significant cost savings versus traditional retail channels. A key to our success has been our ability to efficiently and cost effectively source second-tier brand products and rapidly respond to changing consumer demands. Inventory is often sold that is held by our suppliers using a just in time ordering and/or drop ship model.
Plan of Operation
Our long-term business strategy or goal is to become the leading distributor of power sports products, accessories and services in the market place. In implementing this strategy, we intend to execute the following matters for the next 12 months:
Continue Building the County Imports.com Customer Base
Our primary focus during 2012 is to increase consumer traffic to our CountyImports.com website, building customer loyalty and repeat business by offering superior products and the most attractive prices.
Launch a Power Sports Penny Auction, BidPunk.com Complimentary to Our County Imports.com Consumer and Product Base
We intend to launch BidPunk.com, the first penny auction dedicated exclusively to the power sports industry. We believe that there are several advantages to adding BidPunk.com to our operations, including, but not limited to:
●
|
Creating an additional revenue stream to our business,
|
●
|
Enabling us to mitigate inventory risk through opening up a new sales channel,
|
●
|
Increasing customer loyalty through providing a platform to purchase quality power sports products, accessories and services at prices not available in other retail channels,
|
●
|
Creates further operating leverage enabling us to convert CountyImports.com customers to BidPunk users and vice versa, and
|
●
|
High margin business enhances quality of revenue for the overall business.
|
Add Additional Products and Services to our Offering
We will continue to identify and add quality and popular products, accessories and services amongst the power sports consumer market place. Quality and reputation in the industry are the primary criterion for our selection process, and we intend to negotiate increasingly favorable price points with suppliers as our sales volume increase, to attract customers that are cost conscious. In addition, we intend to commence marketing and sales of a variety of ancillary products under existing brands that we currently market.
Expansion of Sales and Marketing Activities
We will continue to expand upon our marketing activities which are primarily focused toward supporting County Imports.com and building consumer awareness. We will engage in ongoing advertising and promotional activities to develop and enhance the visibility of our County Imports.com image.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported. Note A of Notes to Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statements. Certain of these significant accounting policies are considered to be critical accounting policies, as defined below.
A critical accounting policy is defined as one that is both material to the presentation of the Company's financial statements and requires management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments that could have a material effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Specifically, critical accounting estimates have the following attributes:
● |
We are required to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time of the estimate; and
|
● |
Different estimates we could reasonably have used, or changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, would have a material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
|
Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. We base estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as the Company's operating environment changes. These changes have historically been minor and have been included in the consolidated financial statements as soon as they became known. Based on a critical assessment of the Company's accounting policies and the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, management believes that our financial statements are fairly stated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and present a meaningful presentation of the Company's financial condition and results of operations.
In preparing the Company's financial statements to conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company's financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates include useful lives for fixed assets for depreciation calculations and assumptions for valuing options and warrants. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company applies paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned less estimated future doubtful accounts. 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.
Stock-Based Compensation
We measure and record stock-based compensation awards to employees pursuant to guidance in ASC 718 Compensation-Stock Compensation. We measure and record stock-based compensation awards to non-employees pursuant to guidance in ASC 505-50 Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. We measure fair value by application of the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recognize expense over the requisite service period or upon completion of milestones for performance-based awards depending on the relevant guidance in ASC 708 or ASC 505. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires management to make certain assumptions as follows:
1)
|
The expected life. No incentive stock options have been granted to date. In the event the Company issues employee options, we will base our determination of expected life on the guidance in ASC 718-10-55-29 to 34. The Company utilizes the contract term of each non qualified option and warrant except in the event that the option is not transferrable in which case we apply the aforementioned guidance in determining the expected term.

Long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets, comprised of equipment, and identifiable intangible assets, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors that may cause an impairment review include significant changes in technology that make current computer-related assets obsolete or less useful and significant changes in the way we use these assets in operations. When evaluating long-lived assets for potential impairment, we first compare the carrying value of the asset to the asset’s estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges). If the estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, we calculate an impairment loss. The impairment loss calculation compares the carrying value of the asset to the asset’s estimated fair value, which may be based on estimated future cash flows (discounted and with interest charges). We recognize an impairment loss if the amount of the asset’s carrying value exceeds the asset’s estimated fair value. If we recognize an impairment loss, the adjusted carrying amount of the asset becomes its new cost basis. The new cost basis will be depreciated (amortized) over the remaining useful life of that asset. Using the impairment evaluation methodology described herein, there have been no long-lived asset impairment charges for each of the last two years.
The Company's impairment loss calculations contain uncertainties because they require management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate future cash flows and asset fair values, including forecasting useful lives of the assets and selecting the discount rate that reflects the risk inherent in future cash flows.
We have not made any material changes in the Company's impairment loss assessment methodology during the past two fiscal years. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the estimates or assumptions we use to calculate long-lived asset impairment losses. However, if actual results are not consistent with estimates and assumptions used in estimating future cash flows and asset fair values, we may be exposed to losses that could be material.
Income Taxes
Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current period and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income and between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled.
When accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, first, the tax position is evaluated to determine the likelihood that it will be sustained upon external examination. If the tax position is deemed “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained, the tax position is then assessed to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The amount of the benefit that may be recognized is the largest amount that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company underwent a change of control for income tax purposes on October 8, 2003 according to Section 381 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company’s utilization of U.S. Federal net operating losses will be limited in accordance to Section 381 rules. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Accounting Changes and Recent Accounting Standards
We review new accounting standards as issued. Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of our previous fiscal year may be applicable to us, we have not identified any standards that we believe merit further discussion. We believe that none of the new standards will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On June 30, 2011, the Company entered into a “reverse merger” with Punk Industries, Inc. As such, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations of Punk Industries, Inc. prior to the Merger are reflected in the financial statements and have been recorded at the historical cost basis of Punk Industries, Inc. Our consolidated financial statements after completion of the Merger include the assets and liabilities of both ePunk, Inc. and Punk Industries, Inc., historical operations of Punk Industries, Inc. and our ePunk, Inc operations from the Effective Date of the Merger. Thus, the discussion that follows relates to the operations of punk Industries, Inc. Punk Industries, Inc. was incorporated in February 2011, therefore, there are no prior year comparative financials.
Revenue and Gross Margin
Revenues and gross profit totaled $226,706 and $34,542, respectively, during the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to revenue and gross profit of $148,298 and $19,528, respectively during our fourth quarter ending September 30, 2011. Our first quarter gross margin was 15.2% compared to the fourth quarter's gross margin of 13.2%. Our revenue consists of sales of scooters, ATV’s, UTV’s, motorcycles and parts and accessories through our website properties CountyImports.com, CountyImportParts.com, BidPunks.com, ViperSportUSA.com, CountyCruisers.com, PCHRides.com and through our storefront, Pacific Coast House of Rides located in Dana Point, California. We expect our gross margin to increase as our sales increase. However, due to our short operating history we cannot provide assurances that the gross margin will be consistent from period-to-period.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2011 were $119,195. Operating expenses consist primarily of facility costs of $21,283, sales and marketing costs of $17,838, personnel costs of $60,952, professional fees of $5,587 and other general operating costs of $13,535. Operating expenses as a percent of revenue decreased 8.5% to 52.6% during the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to 61.1% during the three months ended September 30, 2011.
Non-operating Expense
Non-operating expense of $5,930 during the three months ended December 31, 2011 relates to interest on notes payable.
Net Loss
As a result of the foregoing, our net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $90,583 compared to a net loss of $76,132 during the three months ended September 30, 2011.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. At December 31, 2011, The Company had current assets of $29,491, including cash on hand of $11,367, accounts receivable of $1,128 and $526,609 of current liabilities, including $428,165 of principle and accrued interest related to our notes payable. For the year ended September 30, 2011 the Company had revenue of $354,514, and net losses of $74,843. Based on the past six months of operations from July 2011 through December 31, 2011, the Company currently receives approximately $9,000 per month in gross profit. Additionally, we have raised $106,612 from promissory notes from February 25, 2011 (inception) through December 31, 2011. As a result we have been able to fund our operations to date. Over the next twelve months, we intend to build our business which includes increasing our on-line and penny auction sales in addition to establishing over 100 additional dealerships. There can be no assurance that the Company will generate sufficient capital from operations to fund planned operations
The Company hopes to raise $250,000 over the next 10 months. Management is planning to raise necessary additional funds through loans and additional sales of its common stock. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital or that such additional funds will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Should the Company be unable to raise this amount of capital its operating plans will be limited to the amount of capital that it can access.
Net cash used by operating activities was $20,435 for the three months ended December 31, 2011.
Net cash used by investing activities was $8,754 for the three months ended December 31, 2011.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $22,350 for the three months ended December 31, 2011.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet transactions.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain certain disclosure controls and procedures as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. They are designed to help ensure that material information is: (1) gathered and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, in a manner that allows for timely decisions regarding required disclosures; and (2) recorded, processed, summarized, reported and filed with the SEC as required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and within the time periods specified by the SEC. As of December 31, 2011, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a — 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Sec. 240.13a-15 or 240.15d-15 the disclosure controls and procedures have been found to be ineffective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as described below.
A material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting exists in that there is 1) limited segregation of duties amongst the Company’s employees with respect to the Company’s preparation and review of the Company’s financial statements; 2) lack of an independent audit committee; and 3) insufficient number of independent directors. These material weaknesses may affect management’s ability to effectively review and analyze elements of the financial statement closing process and prepare financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Our management determined that these deficiencies constituted material weaknesses. Due to a lack of financial resources, we are not able to, and do not intend to, immediately take any action to remediate these material weaknesses. We will not be able to do so until we acquire sufficient financing to do so. We will implement further controls as circumstances, cash flow, and working capital permit. Notwithstanding the assessment that our ICFR was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as identified in this report, we believe that our consolidated financial statements contained in our annual report on form 10-Q for the three months ended December 31, 2011, fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the years covered thereby in all material respects.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls and Other Matters
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 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. Because of 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, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls may be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.
The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Risk Factor Related to Controls and Procedures
The Company lacks an independent audit committee, has an insufficient number of independent directors and has limited segregation of duties amongst its employees with respect to the Company’s preparation and review of the Company’s financial statements due to the limited number of employees. The above represents a material weakness in internal controls, and if the Company fails to maintain an effective system of internal controls, it may not be able to accurately report its financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in the Company’s financial reporting which could harm the trading price of the Company’s stock.
Management has found it necessary to limit the Company’s staffing in order to conserve cash until the Company’s level of business activity increases. As a result, there is limited segregation of duties amongst the employees. The Company and its independent public accounting firm have identified this as a material weakness in the Company’s internal controls. The Company intends to remedy this material weakness by hiring additional employees and reallocating duties, including responsibilities for financial reporting, among the employees as soon as there are sufficient resources available. However, until such time, this material weakness will continue to exist.
