NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2012
(Stated in US Dollars)
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - Nature and Continuance of Operations
Organization:
Fresh Traffic Group Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada, United States of America on March 19, 2007.
The business of the Company is currently undertaken by its one wholly-owned subsidiary, Fresh Traffic Group Corp. The Company’s year-end is August 31.
We are currently an international online marketing and web optimization company with head offices based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. We offer a wide variety of services including Online Marketing, Search Engine Optimization, Web Design, Campaign Management and Web Hosting to national and international client companies.
The Company is no longer in the development stage, as a result of the October 26, 2010 acquisition of Fresh Traffic Group Corp., resulting in significant consolidated revenues from planned operations.
On November 2, 2009, the Company filed with the State of Nevada a forward split of its authorized and issued shares of common stock on the basis of nine-for-one in the form of a special stock distribution to stockholders of record as of November 2, 2009. The effective date for the distribution to stockholders was November 9, 2009, subject to approval from FINRA to the transfer agent to complete the distribution. The effect of the stock split has been recognized retroactively in the stockholders’ deficit accounts for all periods presented, and in all shares and per share data in the financial statements.
On January 10, 2010, the Company entered into a formal agreement (the “Agreement”) with the 100% owners of Estate Coffee Holdings Ltd. (formerly Sumbody Coffee Company) (“ECH”), a private company incorporated pursuant to the laws of the State of Maryland whereby the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of ECH in exchange for the issuance of 900,000 restricted shares of the Company to Sean Tan, ECH’s primary creditor, in settlement of a promissory note between ECH and Mr. Tan. ECH had previously acquired 20% of the shares of DTS8 Holdings Co. Ltd. (“DTS8”), a Hong Kong company which operates as a Wholly Owned Foreign Entity in the Republic of China, from Mr. Tan in exchange for a promissory note in the amount of $60,000 plus interest at the rate of 6% per annum. Pursuant to the Agreement, ECH became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The shares were issued to Mr. Tan on January 21, 2010, the closing date of the transaction. Subsequently, upon receipt of final documentation with respect to the transaction noted above, the Company discovered that DTS8 had not perfected the transaction with the regulatory authorities in Hong Kong, and further, that the ownership structure of the assets acquired by DTS8 included a second Hong Kong based entity, the records for which were not able to be obtained by the Company for review. As a result, the acquisition of DTS8 Holdings Co. Ltd. by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary ECH was cancelled with return of the 900,000 shares held by Mr. Tan to treasury. On February 8, 2010, the Company changed its name from SLAP, Inc. to Estate Coffee Holdings Corp. to reflect the initiative to operate in the coffee business. On October 20, 2010, the Company changed its name from Estate Coffee Holdings Corp. to Fresh Traffic Group Inc. due to the acquisition of Fresh Traffic Group Corp., which was acquired as an operating subsidiary as detailed below.
On October 26, 2010, the Company completed a closing (the “Closing”) of a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Company, Fresh Traffic Group Corp. (“Fresh Corp”) and Jeremy Booth, Kim Lewis and Dmytro Hrytsenko (collectively the “Fresh Shareholders”) on October 20, 2010. The Agreement provided: (a) for the purchase by the Company of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Fresh Corp owned by the Fresh Shareholders in exchange for the issuance of 8,000,000 shares of the common stock of the Company; (b) the settlement of a total of CDN$71,973 of debt on the balance sheet of Fresh Corp by way of the issuance of up to 2,600,000 shares of common stock of the Company, of which a total of 2,400,000 were issued to a creditor of Fresh Corp who was an unrelated third party creditor.

NOTE 2 - Summaries of Significant Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements present the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fresh Corp. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates, which have been made using careful judgment. Actual results may vary from these estimates.
The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:
Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized on the products and services when the following criteria are satisfied: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery and title transfer has occurred or the services have been rendered, the price is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company’s revenue is primarily generated through term-based contracts with clients that require a flat monthly fee for services rendered on a monthly basis, depending on the service level provided under the contract. We record the service revenue on a straight line basis over the contract period.
Cash and Cash Equivalents- For purposes of the statement of cash flow, we consider all cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of deposit with an original maturity date of less than three months to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable and accounting for bad debt and allowance- Accounts receivable are stated at the amount that management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Bad debts and allowances are provided based on historical experience and management’s evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable. Management evaluates past due or delinquency of accounts receivable based on the open invoices aged on due date basis. The allowance for doubtful accounts at May 31, 2012 and 2011 is Nil.

Foreign Currency Translation – The functional currency of Fresh Corp, the Company’s subsidiary, is the Canadian Dollar. The Company uses the United States dollar as its reporting currency. All transactions initiated in Canadian Dollars are translated to U.S. Dollar in accordance with ASC 830-10-20 “Foreign Currency Translation” as follows:
·
|
Revenue and expense items at the average rate of exchange in effect on the transaction date;
|
·
|
Non-monetary assets and liabilities at historical exchange rates, unless such items are carried at market, in which case they are translated at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date; and
|
·
|
Monetary assets and liabilities at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date.
|
Adjustments arising from such translations are deferred until realization and are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (deficit) as a component of comprehensive income (loss). Therefore, translation adjustments are not included in determining net income but reported as other comprehensive income.
For foreign currency transactions, the Company translates these amounts to the Company’s functional currency at the exchange rate effective on the invoice date. If the exchange rate changes between the time of purchase and the time actual payment is made, a foreign exchange transaction gain or loss results which is included in determining net income for the period.
No significant realized exchange gains or losses were recorded to May 31, 2012.
Financial Instruments - The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial statements.
Comprehensive Income (Loss) - ASC Topic No. 220, “Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. Comprehensive income or loss is comprised of net earnings or loss and other comprehensive income or loss, which includes certain changes in equity, excluded from net earnings, primarily foreign currency translation adjustments.

NOTE 2 - Summaries of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Income Taxes - The Company has adopted SFAS No. 109 – “Accounting for Income Taxes”. ASC Topic 740 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share - In accordance with ASC Topic 280 – “Earnings Per Share”, the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. At May 31, 2012, the Company had no stock equivalents that were anti-dilutive and excluded in the loss per share computation.
Note 3 – Going Concern
The Company has experienced net losses to date, and though it generates revenue from operations, we will need additional working capital to service debt and for ongoing operations, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management of the Company has developed a strategy to meet operational shortfalls which may include equity funding, short-term or long-term financing or debt financing, to enable the Company to reach profitable operations.
Note 4 – Accounts Receivable
The Company’s accounts receivable consists solely of trade receivables totaling $2,503 as of May 31, 2012 and $18,204 at August 31, 2011.
Note 5 – Customer Deposits
The Company records payments received from customers before services are provided as customer deposits in the consolidated balance sheets.
Note 6– Loan Payable
(a)
|
During the nine month period ended May 31, 2012, the Company obtained unsecured demand loans in the amount of $21,000 at an annual interest rate of 8% and in the amount of $5,000 at annual interest rate of 10%. Interest expenses incurred and associated with the demand loans totaled $947 during the nine month period ended May 31, 2012.
|
(b)
|
During the nine month period ended May 31, 2012, the Company accrued interest expenses totaling $948 in respect of demand loans totaling $15,764 as at the fiscal year ended August 31, 2011. There were no payments or additions to these loans during the period.

Under the terms of the above noted lease, Fresh Corp. was required to provide a security deposit totaling $19,640 (CAD$21,031) equivalent to 6 months of rent and operating costs. The security deposit is held by the Landlord without interest and shall be returned to Fresh Corp. without interest within sixty (60) days after the expiry of the lease or earlier termination of the term; or, at the Landlord’s option, shall be applied by the Landlord on account of the last month’s rent. The amount is included on the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as "Security Deposit."
Note 8 – Common Stock
On December 7, 2010, the Company entered into a one-year agreement with a marketing company. Under the agreement, the marketing company was engaged to assist in the development and dissemination of the corporate information to various parties to further our business and opportunities. The Company agreed to make a twelve month commitment to pay the following non-refundable fees: (i) the sum of 800,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) with 400,000 restricted shares payable upon the execution date of the agreement and 400,000 restricted shares payable six months from the execution date of the agreement. 400,000 restricted shares were issued on December 8, 2010. The issuance of 400,000 shares of common stock was valued at the market value of the stock on the issuance date. As a result, the Company recorded an investor relations expense of $48,000 during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2011. The 400,000 shares due on June 8, 2011 were not issued by the Company as the Company disputed the services provided by the marketing company. No demand for payment of the shares has been made by the marketing company and the Company does not expect any demand to be made, however, the Company has recorded the amount of $28,000 as a contingent liability, included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the balance sheets of the Company, based on the closing price of the shares of common stock of the Company on June 7, 2011 at $0.07 per share. Should any demand for payment be made the Company intends to take legal action in regard to the non-performance of the marketing company.
Note 9 – Related Party Transactions
During the nine month period ended May 31, 2012, the Company paid to Mr. Jeremy Booth, the President of the Company, USD$52,553 (CAD$53,005) (2011-$29,900) for the provision of contract services including search engine optimization and internet marketing services. These fees were recorded as cost of goods sold and were paid in cash.
Note 10– Subsequent Events
The Company has been unable to raise any funds for its wholly owned subsidiary and to pay off past due or new debt as it occurs. Management has determined that the current business of the Company is not suited to a public company venue and determined to access other business opportunities. On June 19, 2012, the Company entered into an Assignment Agreement with Tellus Engineering Ltd. (“Tellus”) a Hong Kong corporation. Tellus assigned the rights to a licensing agreement between Tellus and OOO” SGPStroy”, (“SGPStroy”) a Russian company for the patented technology developed by SGPStroy for ecologically safe carbonaceous waste reprocessing and production of synthetic power fuel.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the years ended August 31, 2011, and 2010, together with notes thereto.
General Development of Business
Fresh Traffic Group Inc. (formerly Estate Coffee Holdings Corp. (formerly Slap, Inc.)) (the “Company”, “Fresh”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) was incorporated on March 19, 2007, in the State of Nevada as an oil and gas exploration company. We drilled an initial well on its oil and gas leases which was deemed a dry hole. We divested these oil and gas operations as no revenue was expected to be generated from those operations.
On November 2, 2009, we filed with the State of Nevada a forward split of our authorized and issued shares of common stock on the basis of nine shares for each one share authorized and issued. The record date for the distribution to stockholders was November 2, 2009 and the effective date for the distribution to stockholders was November 9, 2009. Upon completion of the forward split the authorized shares were increased to 675,000,000 common shares.
On January 10, 2010, we entered into a formal agreement (the “Agreement”) with the 100% owners of Estate Coffee Holdings Ltd. (“ECH”), a private company incorporated pursuant to the laws of the State of Maryland whereby the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of ECH in exchange for the issuance of 900,000 restricted shares of the Company to Sean Tan, ECH’s primary creditor, in settlement of a promissory note between ECH and Mr. Tan. ECH had previously acquired 20% of the shares of DTS8 Holdings Co. Ltd. (“DTS8”), a Hong Kong company which owned a Wholly-owned Foreign Entity in the Republic of China from which it conducts its operations, from Mr. Tan in exchange for a promissory note in the amount of $60,000 plus interest at the rate of 6% per annum. Pursuant to the Agreement ECH became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The shares were issued to Mr. Tan on January 21, 2010, the closing date of the transaction. On February 8, 2010 we changed our name from SLAP, Inc. to Estate Coffee Holdings Corp. to reflect the initiative to operate in the coffee business.
During June, 2010, upon receipt of final documentation with respect to acquisition of ECH noted above, we discovered that DTS8 had not perfected the transaction with the regulatory authorities in Hong Kong, and further, that the ownership structure of the assets acquired by DTS8 included a second company incorporated in China, the records for which were not able to be obtained by us for review. As a result, the Company, ECH, Sean Tan and DTS8 agreed to cancel the acquisition of DTS8 effective May 31, 2010 and all shares issued in respect of the transaction issued to Mr. Tan were cancelled and returned to treasury. On July 1, 2011, we divested all interest in ECH to the directors and officers of ECH.
On January 29, 2010, the Company negotiated and entered into a global distribution agreement with Coffee Solutions Ltd. (“CSL”) whereby the Company was granted the rights to market and distribute CSL roasted Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee. The distribution agreement was placed on hold while ECH completes the acquisition of the trademark and license agreement from the Coffee Industry Board. The Company assigned this agreement to ECH on July 1, 2011.
On October 20, 2010, the Company, Fresh Traffic Group Corp., a private Manitoba company (“Fresh”), and Jeremy Booth, Kim Lewis and Dmytro Hrytsenko (collectively the “Fresh Shareholders”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”). The Agreement provided for: (a) for the purchase by the Company of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Fresh owned by the Fresh Shareholders in exchange for the issuance of 8,000,000 shares of the common stock of the Company and (b) the settlement of a total of $71,973 of debt on the balance sheet of Fresh by way of the issuance of up to 2,600,000 shares of common stock of the Company to an unrelated creditor of Fresh Corp. As a result of this agreement, on October 20, 2010, we changed our name from Estate Coffee Holdings Corp. to Fresh Traffic Group Inc.
On October 26, 2010, the Company completed a closing of the Agreement, by the issuance of 8,000,000 shares of the common stock of the Company to the Fresh Shareholders, in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Fresh, as held by the Fresh Shareholders. Furthermore, as part of a debt settlement arrangement included as part of the Agreement, a total of 2,400,000 shares of common stock of the Company were issued to an unrelated third party creditor to settle CDN$71,973 (US$ 70,152) of debt on the balance sheet of Fresh.
The Company has experienced losses due to its operations as a public company. Management reviewed these losses in comparison to its operations when private, and has determined that there is no value to having a public company as the parent to the operating business.
On June 19, 2012, the Company entered into an Assignment Agreement with Tellus Engineering Ltd. (“Tellus”) a Hong Kong corporation. Tellus assigned the rights to a licensing agreement between Tellus and OOO” SGPStroy”, (“SGPStroy”) a Russian company for the patented technology developed by SGPStroy for ecologically safe carbonaceous waste reprocessing and production of synthetic power fuel.
Pursuant to the terms of the Assignment Agreement, Tellus has agreed to assign all rights and interests to the licensing agreement with SGPStroy to the Company in exchange for the issuance of 10,000,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company. As a condition to Closing, the Company shall enter into a disposition agreement with Fresh Traffic Group Corp. (“Group Corp”) and its current officers and directors, whereby the Company shall transfer the shares of Group Corp. in exchange for the return of a total of 10,400,000 shares issued at the time of the acquisition of Group Corp. The Company shall enter into a further agreement with Group Corp. to settle the loan between the Company and Group Corp. in the amount of $14,691.74 by the issuance of a promissory note bearing 5% interest and payable by the Company on or before October 31, 2012. As a condition to Closing, the Company shall effect a reverse split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock on the basis of 1 share for every 75 shares currently held. On June 26, 2012, the Board of Directors and shareholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company voted for the reverse split and a name change of the Company to “Synergetics, Inc.”
The Company has agreed to use its best efforts to settle all outstanding debt on the balance sheet of the Company save for the debt owed to its auditors and to Group Corp. Such debt settlements may be negotiated by the issuance of post-split shares but in any event no debt shall be settled at less than $0.005 per share.
There will be a change in the Company’s Board of Directors and executive officers at Closing. Specifically, at Closing, Mr. W. Scott Lawler will resign as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. In addition, at Closing, Mr. Lawler will resign as President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
Mr. Michael R. Wiechnik and Mr. Branislav Budimcic will be appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors. It is expected that Mr. Wiechnik will be appointed as the Company’s new President.
Current Operations
Our primary business currently consists of the operations as undertaken by Fresh, our wholly-owned subsidiary, those being the provision of internet marketing and search engine optimization (“SEO”) services to a diversified customer base. It is expected that this business will be divested by August 31, 2012.
Liquidity & Capital Resources
As of May 31, 2012, our cash balance was $35,700, as compared to $44,538 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2011. Accounts Receivable decreased to $2,503 as at May 31, 2012 compared to $18,204 in accounts receivables as at August 31, 2011 due to the collection of receivables by the Company. We have total current assets of $44,421 as at May 31, 2012 as compared to total current assets of $69,998 at August 31, 2011.
Accounts Payable and accrued payables increased to $151,011 as at May 31, 2012 from $131,503 at August 31, 2011, and loans payable increased from $17,199 (August 31, 2011) to $45,667 for the nine months period ended May 31, 2012, as the Company borrowed funds to pay for its continuing reporting obligations. The Company’s liabilities mainly relate to the obligations of the parent corporation and the subsidiary corporation has determined that the funds to pay these obligations cannot currently come from its operations as it would leave insufficient funds for operations of the day to day business. Therefore, the Company will be required to raise funds either by loans or by the sale of equity. To date, the Company has been unable to raise sufficient funds to pay its parent obligations as they become due, however it has continued to raise funds to maintain its reporting status.
Due mainly to loans and payables for operations of our parent company, we have a working capital deficit as at May 31, 2012 of $165,439 as compared to a deficit of $86,900 as at August 31, 2011.
The continual costs for maintaining the Company’s public reporting status are eroding the profitability of the Company’s subsidiary, however, the Company has sufficient funds to continue operations of the subsidiary without seeking additional capital. However, it continues to need to raise funds for the expenditures of the parent. Management reviewed the benefits of continuing to operate as a public company due to the fact that it pays its parent’s obligations from the operating subsidiary. Management is currently finalizing the acquisition described above whereby the current wholly-owned subsidiary will be divested for a return of shares to treasury and the new business will be acquired. It is unknown at this time the funding that will be required pursuant to the new acquisition. The acquisition will occur by way of the issuance of shares as the Company does not currently have any funds for an acquisition. The Company is also be required to effect a name change and a restructure by way of a reverse split of its issued and outstanding shares on the basis of 1 share for each 75 shares currently issued in order to complete the acquisition and to issue new treasury shares after the restructure.
The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
Results of Operations
Revenues
Revenues for the three month period ended May 31, 2012 were $211,155 compared to revenues of $186,617 for the comparable prior year period. Revenues for the first nine months of the current fiscal year were $621,667 compared to revenues of $418,879 for the comparable prior year period. The increase in revenues from the prior year was primarily based on the fact that the Company is becoming further recognized in the industry and the fact that the market for advertising is shifting to a digital format making the Company’s services more desirable and in demand.
Cost of sales and gross profit
Cost of sales for the three and nine months period ended May 31, 2012 was $187,698 and $ 526,617, respectively, versus $109,968 and $246,888 for the same respective prior year periods. Profit margins for the three and nine months period ended May 31, 2012 was 12% and 15%, respectively, versus 41% and 10%. The increase in cost of sales and the decrease in profit margin are due to the fact that the Company's customers are utilizing a higher volume of pay per use services which result in extra costs to the Company for larger ad campaigns, staffing and payment of commissions to third party service providers, all of which services are less profitable than services provided solely by in house staff. As well, the Company retained an additional sales person to assist with client account servicing needs.
Operating Expenses
The Company incurred total operating expenses of $43,422 and $153,120 for the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 2012, as compared to $56,124, and $197,501 for the same periods in 2011, respectively. The decrease in the operating expenses is due to the fact that the Company undertook additional costs during the period ended November 30, 2010 related to the acquisition of Fresh Traffic Group Corp.
Other Income (Expense)
For the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 2012, the Company incurred interest expense of $4,464 and $13,054 respectively, due to financing charges on overdue payables to vendors and on short term loans, compared with $4,829 and $12,307 for the same three and six month periods ended May 31, 2011.
During the most recently completed nine month period ended May 31, 2012, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $9,062 with no comparable expense during the prior nine month period.
Net Loss
The Company recorded net losses of $24,429 and $80,186 from continuing operations for the three and nine month periods ended May 31, 2012, as compared to net income of $15,696 for the three months ended May 31, 2011, and net loss $111,665 for nine months ended May 31, 2011, respectively. These losses mainly relate to the costs of operations of the public company.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, under supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon this evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of May 31, 2012, because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that required information to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that required information to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our 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.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2012. In making the assessment, management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of May 31, 2012, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective and that material weaknesses in ICFR existed as more fully described below.
As defined by Auditing Standard No. 5, “An Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting that is Integrated with an Audit of Financial Statements” established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), a material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses as of May 31, 2012:
1)
|
Lack of an independent audit committee or audit committee financial expert, and no independent directors. We do not have any members of the Board who are independent directors and we do not have an audit committee. These factors may be counter to corporate governance practices as defined by the various stock exchanges and may lead to less supervision over management;
|
2)
|
Inadequate staffing and supervision within our bookkeeping operations. We have one consultant involved in bookkeeping functions. The single person who is responsible for bookkeeping functions prevents us from segregating duties within our internal control system. The inadequate segregation of duties is a weakness because it could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters or could lead to a failure to perform timely and effective reviews. This may result in a failure to detect errors in spreadsheets, calculations or assumptions used to compile the financial statements and related disclosures as filed with the SEC;
|
3)
|
Outsourcing of our accounting operations. Because there are no employees in our administration, we have outsourced all of our accounting functions to an independent firm. The employees of this firm are managed by supervisors within the firm and are not answerable to our management. This is a material weakness because it could result in a disjunction between the accounting policies adopted by our Board of Directors and the accounting practices applied by the independent firm;
|
4)
|
Insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements;
|
5)
|
Ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.
|
Management's Remediation Initiatives
As of May 31, 2012, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, it was concluded that during the period covered by this report, the internal controls and procedures were not effective due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting. However, management believes these weaknesses did not have an effect on our financial results. During the course of their evaluation, we did not discover any fraud involving management or any other personnel who play a significant role in our disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting.
Due to a lack of financial and personnel 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, if ever, we acquire sufficient financing and staff. We will implement further controls as circumstances, cash flow, and working capital permits. Notwithstanding the assessment that our ICFR was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as identified in this report, we believe that our financial statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended May 31, 2012, fairly presents our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods covered, as identified, in all material respects.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above were the result of the scale of our operations and intrinsic to our small size. Management also believes that these weaknesses did not have an effect on our financial results.
We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, we will, as soon as funds are available to the Company (1) appoint outside directors to our board of directors sufficient to form an audit committee and who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and to increase our personnel resources. We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary, and as funds allow.
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.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the period covered by this report, there were no changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
