NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business and Organization
The following unaudited consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations give effect to WWA Group Inc.’s (WWA Group) purchase of all of the outstanding shares of Summit Digital Inc. (Summit Digital), pursuant to their July 12, 2012 share exchange agreement, authorized by the shareholders of WWA Group on June 10, 2013.
The acquisition was accounted for as a recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein Summit Digital is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The assets and liabilities of the acquired entity have been brought forward at their historical book value and no goodwill has been recognized, as required by the rules and regulations of the SEC. The issued common stock is that of WWA Group, and the accumulated deficit is that of Summit Digital.
The unaudited consolidated balance sheets set forth below represents the combined financial position of WWA Group and Summit Digital as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, as if the reverse acquisition had occurred on December 31, 2012. The unaudited consolidated statements of operations set forth below represent the combined results of operations of WWA Group and Summit Digital, as if the reverse acquisition occurred on the first day of the period presented therein.
Summit Digital was originally incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 21, 2009. Summit Digital is a Michigan-based Multi-System Operator (MSO) providing Cable TV, Broadband Internet, Voice Telephony and related services. Summit Digital is focused on acquiring existing underutilized Cable systems in rural, semi-rural and gated community markets, aggregating them into a single Multi-System Operator structure and creating growth by upgrading management, improving efficiency, cutting costs, and fully exploiting the opportunities presented by bundling multiple services such as basic TV, premium TV, pay-per-view, broadband Internet, and voice telephony.
Accounting Basis
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company has elected a December 31 fiscal year end.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments as defined by ASC 820, “disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” include cash, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and advances from affiliates. All instruments are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which due to the short maturity of these financial instruments approximates fair value at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has evaluated recent accounting pronouncements and their adoption has not had or is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, or statements.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plans to obtain such resources for the Company include (1) obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses, and (2) completing debt, and, or equity financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – SHORT-TERM NOTES PAYABLE AND LINES OF CREDIT
On August 19, 2013, the Company issued a promissory note in the amount of $32,500 to Asher Enterprises, Inc., an unrelated party, at an interest rate of 8% per annum, with an option to convert the outstanding balance into shares of the Company’s common stock with a discount off the market price at the time of conversion. At September 30, 2013, the full amount remains outstanding under the note.
The Company has from time to time short-term borrowings from various unrelated and related entities. These advances are non-interest bearing, unsecured and due upon demand. Because of the short-term nature of the notes the Company has not imputed an interest rate.

ITEM 2. - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other
parts of this current report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
Forward-looking statements can also be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,”
“plans,” “predicts,” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance and our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-
looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include but are not limited to those
discussed in the subsection entitled Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future
Results and Financial Condition below. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our
financial statements and notes thereto included in this current report. Our fiscal year end is December 31.
Discussion and Analysis
Our plan of operation over the next twelve months is to become a multi-system operator with the acquisition of Summit Digital, which was completed on June 5, 2013. Summit Digital provides cable television, high speed internet and related services to rural communities in the United States. We will require a minimum of $500,000 dollars in additional debt or equity funding in the next twelve months to pursue our business plan, the majority of which amount will be focused on expanding Summit Digital’s business by acquiring existing operations. Such financing is not currently committed and there can be no assurance that such financing will be available within the next twelve months.
Summary of Summit Digital Business Activities and Strategy
Summit Digital is focused on acquiring existing underutilized cable systems in rural, semi-rural and gated
community markets, aggregating them into a single Multi-System Operator structure and creating growth
by upgrading management, improving efficiency, cutting costs, and fully exploiting the opportunities
presented by bundling multiple services such as basic TV, premium TV, pay-per-view, broadband
Internet, and voice telephony. These bundled service packages have become the industry standard in
major urban markets served by major cable providers, but systems in Summit Digital’s target market
typically lag behind in adopting them, offering a substantial opportunity to increase penetration and per-
customer revenue by offering these comprehensive service packages. Summit Digital may at times build
new cable systems or wireless infrastructure to serve areas where no infrastructure is in place, but the
primary intent is to acquire underutilized existing systems. Summit Digital intends to support and extend
these packages by offering wireless data and voice service within its system footprint.
Summit Digital believes that other value-added services delivered through cable infrastructure, such as
pay-per-view events, digital video and digital video recording, high-definition TV and interstitial
advertising also represent significant potential revenue streams that have not been effectively exploited by
its acquisition targets. Compatible services such as provision of wireless internet provide additional
potential revenue streams.
Summit Digital intends to take decisive steps to streamline management, improve efficiency, and reduce
costs in systems it acquires using the following areas of emphasis:
· Any debt that is attached to these systems by the prior ownership will be restructured.
· Billing, collection, call center and scheduling services will be centralized, significantly reducing
costs for each system.
· Head end technicians located at corporate headquarters will direct employees and monitor their
performance, standardizing and service practices and quality control.
· Theft by potential subscribers who attempt to steal services can have a significant impact on the
viability of rural cable systems. Measures to prevent theft will be installed, including regular
audits conducted by our own installers as well as independent contractors.
· Equipment purchasing will be combined to achieve economies of scale and reduce costs.
· Structured management systems stressing continuous documentation, performance evaluation,
and action to address weaknesses will be installed, addressing a common management deficiency
in small single-system operators.
Many small to medium sized single-system operators of the type common in rural and semi-rural America
have not been developed to their full capacity, for two primary reasons.
· Many of these systems were overburdened with debt that was incurred on the initial construction
of their cable systems. Overly optimistic projections and unrealistic performance expectations
not backed up by appropriate technology and management expertise, combined with lack of an
established basis for prediction in many markets led system owners to take on excessive debt,
which enabled their entry to the business but also left them unable to sustain their business
profitably.
· The technology that supports the upgraded services that Summit intends to provide has only
recently become cost-effective for smaller rural systems. Even with today’s superior and less
expensive technology, small individual cable systems rarely have the economies of scale or the
financing necessary to effectively exploit these technologies. Summit Digital’s knowledgeable
technical team and ability to combine equipment purchases will provide the knowledge and the
leverage with suppliers that are needed to effectively introduce these technologies.
Summit Digital believes, based on extensive interviews and contacts with management at local systems,
that the managers and owners of many of these systems are interested in acquisition on favorable terms by
an MSO built around the principle of maximizing the potential of these systems. Based on interviews with
small system managers, Summit Digital believes that many of these systems can be acquired in exchange
for a combination of cash and stock.
Once systems have been acquired, Summit Digital will upgrade them to support broadband Internet and
voice telephony and aggressively market these combined services both to existing subscribers and non-
subscribers within the system footprint. Existing cash flows, cash flows from acquired systems, and
acquisition terms will allow Summit to pay for system upgrades as systems are built out. Summit Digital
does not intend to incur debt or sell shares to finance system upgrades.
Summit Digital will add an additional revenue stream to its acquired cable systems through its capacity to
insert local advertising, known as interstitials, to cable TV content. Summit Digital has the right to insert
local advertising into programming from major networks such as CNN, ESPN, Fox News and many
others. This ad insertion is accomplished through an interface between the network and Summit Digital’s
system, with the network providing cue tones that open time slots for Summit Digital’s advertisers.
Again, this is a revenue opportunity not currently exploited by the cable systems Summit Digital seeks to
acquire, and upgrading systems to accommodate this form of advertising presents a significant
opportunity to generate additional revenue from existing infrastructure.
Summit Digital’s business strategy is to acquire systems meeting viability criteria, aggregate them in a
multiple system operator format, improve management, reduce costs, and add revenue by aggressively
promoting high-value services such as high speed broadband internet and pay-per-view TV and by adding
advertising income and wireless services to the system revenue mix. Summit Digital will not surrender
controlling interest in systems it acquires and will not incur long-term debt to acquire
systems or upgrade acquired systems. Summit Digital believes that it can substantially increase both our
subscriber base and our revenue per subscriber by following this strategy.
Innovation
Summit Digital actively pursues innovative ways of using existing technology and infrastructure to
provide services and build customer and community relationships outside the traditional residential
service model. Two initiatives in the 1st half of 2012 illustrate this commitment and the results it can
bring.
· Summit Digital is in the process of installing a sophisticated CCTV monitoring system for the
community of McBain, Michigan, allowing continuous surveillance of key commercial and road
areas. A web-based backbone permits data storage by Summit Digital as well as monitoring by
the State Police. The system is designed to facilitate rapid response in emergencies and to
provide vital evidence and understanding in criminal and other incidents. Summit Digital is
compensated by an installation fee and will receive a long term monthly fee for managing the
system. Similar systems will be offered to other municipalities within Summit Digital’s service
footprint.
· Summit Digital recently installed a web-based system for a major dairy farm, allowing the farm
operators to continuously monitor operations and provide remote control for their robotic milkers.
Agricultural operations in the rural American Midwest are becoming increasingly sophisticated
and there is enormous scope for leveraging Summit Digital’s existing technology and
infrastructure to increase efficiency and create opportunity for Summit Digital and for its clients.
Summit Digital will continue to explore innovative ways to supply needed services to individual,
business, industrial and local government customers, using the full scope of opportunities provided by
available technology.
Wireless Internet
Use of wireless internet services is exploding in the US, driven by rapidly expanding sales of
smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices. Cisco Systems estimates that mobile traffic will expand
from 0.6 exabytes/month in 2011 to 1.2 exabytes/month in 2012 and will reach 6.3 exabytes/month in
2015. Cable operators across the US have recognized that the cable business and the WiFi business have
close synergies and that WiFi represents a considerable opportunity for cable companies. The synergy is
based on a number of elements:
· As the amount of data transferred over wireless networks expands, the critical need for backhaul
services – the link between wireless broadcast points and the internet backbone – becomes
increasingly critical. Cable infrastructure is ideally suited to providing these services, enabling
cable companies that also manage wireless sites to support their own backhaul needs instead of
paying for them, as non-cable operators must.
· The ability of cable companies to use existing infrastructure for backhaul also drastically reduces
the expense of acquiring rights of way: Dan Rice, vice president of access network technology for
CableLabs, estimates that as much of 70% of the expense of establishing an outdoor WiFi
infrastructure can be in “civil” costs such as real estate and permitting, expenses that are
substantially lower for companies that already have infrastructure in place. These cost
advantages make it possible for cable companies to compete aggressively on wireless service
pricing while retaining high margins.
· Wireless technology also provides an option that can supersede wiring to reach hard-to-wire areas
or as an option to homes in which the installed coaxial cable falls short. These are significant
features in Summit Digital’s target market.
· Wireless services can bring in subscribers solely interested in wireless access. More important, it
can drive a “quadruple play” option in which Summit Digital can offer a single-bill package
combining TV, home broadband, voice communications, and wireless access.
· Summit Digital intends to pursue opportunities in this promising sector as an integral part of its
expansion plan.
Subscriber Base
Summit Digital currently serves 841 subscribers in the States of Oklahoma and Michigan, with an
average monthly billing of approximately $61. As of June 30, 2012, Summit Digital served 840 subscribers in the States of Oklahoma and Michigan, with monthly billing of approximately $61.
Proposed Expansion
Summit Digital is aggressively pursuing expansion opportunities:
· Summit Digital has been granted a franchise and is building a new cable System in McBain
Michigan. Summit Digital will be initially providing cable TV, broadband Internet, and telephone services passing 550 homes and an industrial complex containing several industries with substantial potential for expansion.
· Summit Digital has targeted 5 towers in northern Michigan for installation of wireless broadband
technology. These installations will serve up to 2500 residents within Summit Digital’s current
service footprint.
· Summit Digital is pursuing the proposed acquisition of additional cable systems in the Fort
Wayne, Indiana area from New Wave Communications.
· Summit Digital is negotiating for the purchase of several systems in Michigan from Michigan
Cable Partners Inc.
Summit Digital hopes to complete these negotiations and close the acquisitions by early 2013 though
there is no assurance that all or any of these acquisitions will be completed.
Summit Digital is targeting 100,000 total subscribers within three years, which it believes is a
conservative estimate of potential, provided that adequate financing can be obtained. Per-subscriber
billing in the systems Summit Digital has targeted, typically based only on cable TV services, is under
$50/month. Summit Digital intends to increase this to a level close to the national average of
$128/month.
Acquisition Criteria
Summit Digital’s acquisition strategy relies on careful assessment of acquisition candidates by a
management team with extensive experience in the cable industry.
· Many of the systems available for acquisition carry significant debt burdens. Summit Digital will
only go through with acquisitions if owners and/or creditors are willing to restructure debt.
Typically this involves an exchange of debt and equity, with owners/creditors exchanging debt
for stock. Since these individuals are in the business, they understand the inherent viability and
potential of Summit Digital’s business model, and these offers have so far met a generally
positive reception.
· Summit Digital focuses on areas that offer potential for aggregating multiple systems in
physically adjacent territory, maximizing the potential of existing infrastructure.
· Summit Digital targets area with existing unserved demand for broadband Internet. Typically this
means acquiring systems that do not offer broadband Internet at the time of acquisition, offering
potential for immediate increase in subscribers and per-subscriber billing by adding broadband
Internet to the service package and aggressively promoting it.
· Economic viability of acquisition candidates is evaluated by Summit Digital’s management team,
which has extensive experience in the cable business. In some cases the team may prefer to
negotiate directly with creditors or a bankruptcy court; in others the system is deemed non-viable
and the acquisition is abandoned.
· Markets must be assessed for growth potential. Some rural markets are economically stagnant
with a decreasing population that will not support growth in our industry. Acquisitions in these
areas will not be pursued.
WWA Group’s business development strategy is prone to significant risks and uncertainties which are
having an immediate impact on its efforts to realize net cash flow. Should WWA Group be unable to
generate income or reduce expenses to the point where it can meet operating expenses through debt or
equity financing, which can in no way be assured, WWA Group’s ability to continue its business
operations will remain in jeopardy.

Net Income/Loss
Net loss for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 was $9,078 and $8,290, respectively, compared to a net loss of $1,617 and net income of $11,845 for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2012, respectively. Our net loss for the three and nine month periods is primarily due to expenses at the corporate level incurred since the reverse merger, along with the variances that arise from a period-over-period increase in cost of goods sold, partially offset by an increase in other income.
Revenue
Our revenue for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 was $202,147 and $494,194, respectively as compared to $108,391, and $340,709 for the comparable periods for 2012. The increase in our revenues is a result of increased sales to our subscriber base.
Gross Income
Gross income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 were $47,863 and $174,671, respectively as compared to $32,753 and $164,125 for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012. The increase in gross income over the comparative periods can be attributed to the increased revenue.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 were $61,168 and $202,989, respectively, compared to $74,343 and $192,253 for the comparable 2012 periods. The decrease in our operating costs for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to September 30, 2012 is a result of a one-time catch up charge for professional fees in 2012. The increase in operating expenses for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 over the comparative period reflects the increase in general and administrative charges resulting from the reverse merger transaction.
Other Income/Expenses
Other income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 was $4,227 and $20,028, respectively as compared to other income of $39,973 for both the three month and nine month comparable 2012 periods. Other income represents income from one-time sources, as opposed to regular income from our subscriber base.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
WWA Group has a prospective income tax benefit resulting from a net operating loss carry-forward and start-up costs that will offset any future operating profit.

We had a working capital deficit of $128,894 as of September 30, 2013. At September 30, 2013, our current assets were $63,947, which consisted of $24,454 in cash, $44,008 in accounts receivable and $63,947 in other current assets. Our current liabilities were $192,841, which consisted of $81,321 of accounts payable, 73,226 of accrued expenses, a note payable of $32,500 and $5,794 of current portion of long-term debt.
Net cash used by operating activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 was $(143,767) as compared to net cash provided of $20,431 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012. The change in cash flow provided by or used in operating activities between the periods can be attributed to the forgiveness of debt by Summit Digital Holdings at the time of the reverse acquisition, in addition to the payment of expenses incurred in the acquisition of Summit Digital.
Cash flow provided by investing activities for the period ended September 30, 2013 was ($412) as compared to
($2,628) for the period ended June 30, 2012, resulting from a period-over-period decrease in the purchase of property and equipment. We expect to use cash flows in investing activities going forward in as we develop additional business opportunities associated with Summit Digital.
Net Cash provided by financing activities was $9,606 for the period ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $-0- for the comparable 2012 period. Cash flow provided by financing operations in the 2013 nine-month period could be attributed to financing the cost of pole rental fees owed, with a long-term note. We intend to generate cash flows from financing activities in the future as the fulfillment of Summit Digital’s business plan which will require debt or equity financing.
The company has obtained convertible debt financing from an unrelated third party in the amount of $32,500. These funds will be used in the short term to pay expenses of being a public company and conducting business in that regard. Additionally, the Company has secured a second debt financing with the same terms since the date of these financial statements. The Company may need to secure additional short term funding to continue to conduct business until a significant funding of debt or equity financing of at least $500,000 can be obtained. This significant funding will allow us to make cable system acquisitions, as per our business plan, which would provide a cash flow from operations, enabling us to support our corporate activities. Our inability to obtain sufficient funding will have a material adverse effect on our ability to generate revenue and our ability to continue operations.
The accounting treatment for the reverse acquisition of Summit Digital resulted in a non-cash charge of $14,648 recorded as an effect of recapitalization in the equity section of the balance sheet. Additionally, Summit Digital Holdings, the previous parent of Summit Digital, forgave intercompany debt of $137,253 in relation to that transaction.
The Company issued 1,000,000 shares of stock valued at $18,000 to an unrelated, outside consultant for management services being performed currently and in the future.
WWA Group does not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
WWA Group had no commitments for future capital expenditures that were material at September 30, 2013.
WWA Group has no defined benefit plan or contractual commitment with any of its officers or directors.
WWA Group had no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements as of September 30, 2013.
WWA Group has no current plans for the purchase or sale of any plant or equipment.
WWA Group has no current plans to make any changes in the number of employees.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2013, WWA Group has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are
reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources
that is material to stockholders.
Future Financings
We anticipate continuing to rely on debt or equity sales of our shares of common stock in order to continue to fund our business operations. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our plan of operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
In Note B to the audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2012 and
2011 included in WWA Group’s Form 10-K, we discuss those accounting policies that are considered to
be significant in determining the results of operations and our financial position. We believe that the
accounting principles utilized by us conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make significant estimates and judgments
that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. By their nature, these
judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our
estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, warranty obligations,
product liability, revenue, and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and other
facts and circumstances that are believed to be reasonable, and the results form the basis for making
judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. The actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions. With respect to revenue recognition, we apply the
following critical accounting policies in the preparation of its financial statements
Forward Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition
The statements contained in the section titled Results of Operations and Description of Business, with the
exception of historical facts, are forward looking statements. A safe-harbor provision may not be
applicable to the forward-looking statements made in this current report. Forward-looking statements
reflect our current expectations and beliefs regarding our future results of operations, performance, and
achievements. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and are based upon assumptions and
beliefs that may or may not materialize. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements
concerning:
· our anticipated financial performance;
· the sufficiency of existing capital resources;
· our ability to fund cash requirements for future operations;
· uncertainties related to the growth of our subsidiaries’ businesses and the acceptance of their
products and services;
· the volatility of the stock market; and
· general economic conditions.
We wish to caution readers that our operating results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that
could cause our actual results to differ materially from those discussed or anticipated, including the
factors set forth in the section entitled Risk Factors included elsewhere in this report. We also wish to
advise readers not to place any undue reliance on the forward looking statements contained in this report,
which reflect our beliefs and expectations only as of the date of this report. We assume no obligation to
update or revise these forward-looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances or any changes
in our beliefs or expectations, other than is required by law.
Going Concern
WWA Group’s auditors have expressed an opinion as to its ability to continue as a going concern as a
result of recurring losses from operations. WWA Group’s ability to continue as a going concern is
subject to its ability to realize a profit from operations and /or obtain funding from outside sources.
Management’s plan to address WWA Group’s ability to continue as a going concern includes obtaining
funding from the private placement of debt or equity and realizing revenues from additional business
opportunities. Management believes that it will be able to obtain funding to enable WWA Group to
continue as a going concern through the methods discussed above, though there can be no assurances that
such methods will prove successful
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Please see Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements for recent accounting pronouncements.
Stock-Based Compensation
We have adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic (“ASC”) 718, Share-Based Payment, which
addresses the accounting for stock-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee
services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair
value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity
instruments.
We account for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than
employees in accordance with ASC 505. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the
consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more
reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee
services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the
provider of goods or services.
ITEM 3. - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
ITEM 4. - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78a, et seq.) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The term internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the issuer’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 generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
·
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer;
·
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and
·
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. 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 inherent limitations in all control systems, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the registrant have been detected. 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.
Evaluation of Disclosure and Controls and Procedures.
Our management is 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 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are currently effective.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes in the internal controls over our financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
This report does not include an attestation report of the registrant’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the registrant’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the registrant to provide only management’s report in this report.

ITEM 2. - UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On August 19, 2011, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor pursuant to which we sold an 8% Convertible Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $32,500 (the “Note”). The Note has a maturity date of May 21, 2014, and is convertible into our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at the Variable Conversion Price. The “Variable Conversion Price” shall mean 51% multiplied by the Market Price (representing a discount rate of 49%). For purposes of the Note, “Market Price” means the average of the lowest three (3) Trading Prices from the Common Stock during the thirty (30) Trading Day period ending on the latest complete Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date. The shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Note will be restricted securities as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The number of shares issuable upon conversion is limited so that the Holder’s total beneficial ownership of our common stock may not exceed 9.99% of the total issued and outstanding shares. This condition may be waived at the option of the holder upon not less than 61 days notice.
Upon conversion of the Note in whole or in part, we will be obligated to deliver the conversion stock to the holder within three (3) business days of our receipt of notice of conversion. Failure to timely deliver conversion stock will cause us to incur daily penalties. The conversion price will be subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive issuances of securities, distributions of stock or assets to shareholders, mergers, consolidations, and certain other events. Pre-payment of the Note will result in certain penalties depending on the time of pre-payment, and will not be allowed after 120 days. The purchase and sale of the Note closed on August 23, 2013, the date that the purchase price was received by us.
The terms of the foregoing transaction were reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 28, 2013.The purchaser is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D and the offer and sale of the was exempt from registration under Rule 506 of Regulation D.
