Teacher’s Pet, Inc.
(a Development Stage Company)
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Basis of presentation
The interim financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these consolidated interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company
for the year ended December 31, 2008 and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K annual report. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.
Results of operations for the interim periods are not indicative of annual results.
Note 2 – History and organization of the company
The Company was organized September 17, 2004 (Date of Inception) under the laws of the State of Nevada, as Teacher’s Pet, Inc. The Company has had minimal operations and is considered a development stage company. The business of the Company is to sell supplies for teachers via the Internet. The Company
has no operations and in accordance with SFAS #7, the Company is considered a development stage company. The Company is authorized to issue 75,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock.
Note 3 - Going concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of ($28,713) for the period from September 17, 2004 (inception) to June 30, 2009, and had no sales. The future of the
Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of its business opportunities. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot
continue in existence.
In the event additional capital is required, the President of the Company has agreed to provide funds as a loan over the next twelve-month period, as may be required. However, the Company is dependent upon its ability, and will continue to attempt, to secure equity and/or debt financing. There are no assurances that
the Company will be successful and without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.

Management’s Discussion and Results of Operation
We are in the business of selling products and providing services to assist teachers and parents further the education of children aged between kindergarten through sixth grade. Our target market consists primarily of elementary schools and teachers of grades kindergarten through sixth initially in the Phoenix, Arizona and Las
Vegas, Nevada metropolitan areas. We also believe that parents who home-school their children may also be attracted to our proposed products. We believe that children may benefit from being exposing to educational stimuli at an early age outside the classroom environment.
Since our inception on September 17, 2004 to June 30, 2009, we have not generated any revenues and have only incurred expenses related to the implementation and pursuit of our business objectives. In our efforts to establish a base of operations, we spent a total of $1,579 during the three month period ended June 30, 2009, consisting
of $279 in depreciation expense related to our computer equipment, as well as $1,300 in general and administrative expenses related to public reporting costs. In comparison, during the three months ended June 30, 2008, our total operating expenses were $1,279, $279 of which is attributable to depreciation expense and $1,000 to general and administrative expenses. We cannot predict the level and impact of future expenditures.
In the six months ended June 30, 2009, total operating expenses were $5,108, of which $4,550 was general and administrative and $558 was depreciation expense. In contrast, total operating expenses during the year ago six month period ended June 30, 2008 were $4,653, $4,095 of which is attributable to general and administrative
expenses and $558 in depreciation expense.
Aggregate operating expenses from our inception through June 30, 2009 were $28,196, of which $3,634 is attributable to depreciation expense and $24,562 in general and administrative expenses related to the execution of our business plan. No development related expenses have been or will be paid to our affiliates. We
expect to continue to incur general and administrative expenses for the foreseeable future, although we cannot estimate the extent of these costs.
During the year ended December 31, 2008, we reviewed our physical inventory. Based on management’s estimates, we impaired various items in inventory due to current economic conditions, anticipated customer demand and an overall evaluation of the market for such similar products. Since our inception to June 30,
2009, we recorded a provision for inventory losses of $513 to write down inventory to its net realizable value. This was based on our management’s best estimates of product sales prices and customer demand patterns, and our plans to transition our products. We did not record any impairment to inventory during the three and six month periods ended Jun 30, 2009 and 2008.
Since our inception to June 30, 2009, we have incurred interest expense in the amount of $4, related specifically to credit card interest charges. We did not incur any interest expense in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.
As a result of our lack of revenues and incurring ongoing expenses related to the implementation of our business, we have experienced net losses in all periods since our inception on September 17, 2004. In the three month period ended June 30, 2009, our net loss totaled $1,579, compared to a net loss of $1,279 in the three month
period ended June 30, 2008. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, our net loss was $5,108, compared to a net loss of $4,653 in the year ago six month period ended June 30, 2008. Since our inception, we have accumulated net losses in the amount of $28,713. We have not been profitable from our inception in 2004 through present 2009. There is significant uncertainty projecting future profitability due to our history of losses and lack of revenues. We anticipate
incurring ongoing operating losses for the foreseeable future and cannot provide any guidance otherwise. We have no recurring or guaranteed source of revenues and cannot predict when, if ever, we will become profitable. We anticipate incurring ongoing operating losses and cannot predict when, if at all, we may expect these losses to plateau or narrow. There is significant uncertainty projecting future profitability due to our minimal operating history and lack of guaranteed ongoing
revenue streams.
In order for us to achieve profitability and support our planned ongoing operations, we believe that we must generate a minimum of approximately $10,000 - $15,000 in sales per year. However, we cannot guarantee that we will generate any sales, let alone achieve that target. We believe that to generate the minimum
required amount of revenues to continue as a going concern, we must further our efforts to establish our brand name. In our current state, we are unable to determine when, if ever, we will be able to realize any sales of our educational products. Personal discussions between our sole officer and director and educators in the primary and secondary grade levels have indicated financial stress has caused many teachers to reduce their expenditures on teaching materials and, in some cases, the
money spent on daily classroom supplies. Given this non-scientific research data obtained through first-hand candid interviews, we believe our future business environment to be challenging, at best. As a result, we cannot guarantee that we will generate any sales, let alone achieve our target of $10,000 - $15,000 in annual sales. Additionally, as we have minimal existing inventory, in the amount of $997, and inadequate capital to purchase additional inventory for sale, we do not
expect to generate sufficient revenues to meet our expenses over the next 12 months, we believe we will need to raise additional capital by issuing capital stock or debt instruments in exchange for cash in order to continue as a going concern.
To date, our sole officer and director has donated $3,450 in cash to finance our continuing operations. We cannot assure you that any additional financing can be obtained or, if obtained, that it will be on reasonable terms. In the event we are unable to obtain further funding, we will be unable to conduct further
operations and, consequently, go out of business. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for us to continue as a going concern.
Our management believes we are in a precarious financial position and may be unable to maintain our operations through the year ended December 31, 2009, assuming our revenues and expenses remain stable, of which there can be no guarantee. Our management expects that we will continue to experience net cash out-flows for the fiscal
year 2009, and for the foreseeable future, given developmental nature of our business. We cannot predict the stability of current or projected overhead or that we will generate sufficient revenues to maintain our operations without the need for additional capital. Our ability to fund our operating expenses is doubtful, and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to satisfy such. Our management believes that we require immediate additional financing, through offerings of our equity
and/or debt securities, or derivation thereof. There are no formal or informal agreements to attain such financing. We can not assure you that any financing can be obtained or, if obtained, that it will be on reasonable terms. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for us to continue as a going concern. As such, our principal accountants have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern because we have limited
operations and have not fully commenced planned principal operations.
Our management does not anticipate the need to hire additional full- or part- time employees over the next 12 months, as the services provided by our current officers and directors appear sufficient at this time. Our officers and directors work for us on a part-time basis, and are prepared to devote additional time, as necessary. We
do not expect to hire any additional employees over the next 12 months.
There are no known trends, events or uncertainties, other than those disclosed heretofore, that have had or that are reasonably expected to have a material impact on our revenues from continuing operations.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s
principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
|
1. |
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; |
|
2. |
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and |
|
3. |
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However,
these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
As of June 30, 2009, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance
on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were:
|
1. |
Lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; |
|
2. |
Inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and |
|
3. |
Ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. |
The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of June 30, 2009.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2) and (3) above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment
and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:
We will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us. And, we plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to
an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds are available to us.
Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board.
We anticipate that these initiatives will be at least partially, if not fully, implemented by September 30, 2009. Additionally, we plan to test our updated controls and remediate our deficiencies by September 30, 2009.
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.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
In December 2005, we sold an aggregate of 320,500 shares of our common stock to 29 shareholders, none of whom are affiliates of Teacher’s Pet. The shares were issued at a price of $0.05 per share for total cash in the amount of $16,025, of which $8,000 was considered subscriptions receivable at December 31, 2005, and were
subsequently cleared in January 2006. The shares bear a restrictive transfer legend. This December 2005 transaction (a) involved no general solicitation, (b) involved less than thirty-five non-accredited purchasers and (c) relied on a detailed disclosure document to communicate to the investors all material facts about Teacher’s Pet, Inc., including an audited balance sheet, statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows. Each purchaser was given
the opportunity to ask questions of us. Thus, we believe that the offering was exempt from registration under Regulation D, Rule 505 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
