NC SOLAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JULY 31, 2013
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION |
(A) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations.
It is management’s opinion however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made, which are necessary for a fair financial statements presentation. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.
NC Solar, Inc. (a development stage company) (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 9, 2010. NC Solar, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada in 2010 to develop solar energy collection farms on commercial and/or industrial buildings located on distressed, blighted and/or underutilized commercial land in North Carolina and other southern states of the U.S. Renewable energy collected by these farms of solar collection panel systems will be sold directly to local utility companies for resale to their customers.
Stoneville Solar, LLC. (a development stage company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of North Carolina on December 14, 2010.
Activities during the development stage include developing the business plan and raising capital.
(B) Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying 2013 and 2012 condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements include the accounts of NC Solar, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Stoneville Solar, LLC (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.
(C) Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates include valuation of in kind contribution of services, valuation of deferred tax assets, provision for allowance for doubtful accounts, and depreciable lives and impairment of equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(D) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At July 31, 2013 and April 30, 2013, the Company had no cash equivalents.
(E) Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by FASB ASC No. 260, “Earnings Per Share.” As of July 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012, there were no common share equivalents outstanding. |

NC SOLAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JULY 31, 2013
(UNAUDITED)
(F) Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to 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. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
(G) Business Segments
The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.
(H) Revenue Recognition
The Company will recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company generates revenue from the sale of energy collected by the photovoltaic system as the revenue is earned. The Company recognized Grant Income at the time it is earned and all grant provisions have been satisfied and the grants are non-refundable.
(I) Equipment
The Company values equipment at cost and depreciates these assets using the straight-line method over their expected useful life. The Company depreciates equipment over a five-year useful life.
In accordance with ASC No. 360, Property, Plant and Equipment , the Company carries long-lived assets at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value. Impairment is evaluated by estimating future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is recognized. Fair value, for purposes of calculating impairment, is measured based on estimated future cash flows, discounted at a market rate of interest.
There were no impairment losses recorded during the periods ended July 31, 2013 and 2012.
(J) Concentration of Credit Risk
At July 31, 2013 and April 30, 2013, accounts receivable of $910 and $513, respectively, consisted of two main types of receivables; receivables from local utility company for energy resale and energy rebate from the State of North Carolina.
For the three months ended July 31, 2013, the local utility company accounted for approximately 20% of revenues and 14% of the total outstanding accounts receivable and the energy rebate from the state of North Carolina accounted for 80% of revenue and 86% of total outstanding accounts receivable.
For the three months ended July 31, 2012, the local utility company accounted for approximately 21% of revenues and 26% of the total outstanding accounts receivable and the energy rebate from the state of North Carolina accounted for 79% of revenue and 74% of total outstanding accounts receivable.
(K) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC, did not or are not believed by management, to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

On December 17, 2010, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of common stock to its founder having a fair value of $250 ($0.0001/share) in exchange for cash (See Note 5 (B)).
NOTE 8 | OTHER INCOME |
In June 2012, the Company was awarded a grant in the amount $18,695 under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 for the photovoltaic system placed into service. The grant requires the Company to keep the system in place for 5 years and file annual usage reports. If the Company fails to maintain the system or fails to file the annual report, the grant is refundable to the Internal Revenue Service at a prorated amount over 5 years. The amount was recorded as a deferred Federal grant and will be recognized over 5 years on the anniversary date of the award. As of July 31, 2013, the Company has a deferred Federal grant of $11,217 and has recognized $7,478 of the grant as other income.
NOTE 9 | GOING CONCERN |
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company is in the development stage with no operations, used cash in operations of $134,609 from inception and has a net loss since inception of $320,747. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read along with our financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Report. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results, expectations and plans discussed in these forward-looking statements.
Overview
We were incorporated in the state of Nevada on December 9, 2010. We were formed with the goal of developing solar energy collection farms on commercial and/or industrial buildings located on distressed, blighted and/or underutilized commercial land in North Carolina and other southern states of the United States. Renewable energy collected by these farms of solar collection panel systems will be sold directly to local utility companies for resale to their customers.
13 |
Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Stoneville Solar, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company established on December 14, 2010, we lease space on the roofs of warehouses, where we install photovoltaic systems. We then sell the energy that we produce to local utilities, which resell the energy to their customers. North Carolina utility companies are currently purchasing solar power collected on rooftops at $0.05 - 0.07 per kWh. We take advantage of federal, state, and local incentives for clean energy, including tax credits.
In particular, we are targeting rooftops of warehouses, storage facilities or other structures on brown-field or otherwise underutilized commercial land, for the creation of solar collection farms that generate renewable energy that can be sold directly to area utilities in North Carolina and other southern states. Utilities in the Southeast have been willing to purchase as much energy as alternative and clean energy producers can generate. We believe that the energy demands will continue to increase in the near future.
Plan of Operation
We plan to take advantage of tax credits and renewable energy investment incentives that can help defray the upfront installation costs for each installation. Through our subsidiary, Stoneville Solar, LLC, we are operating our initial facility atop a warehouse building in Stoneville, NC. North Carolina utility companies are currently purchasing solar power collected on rooftops at $0.05-0.07 per kWh. Our first project is fully operational and the Company is looking for additional projects and other ways to increase its revenues.
We plan to replicate this model for developing solar collection systems across a variety of distressed, blighted and/or under-utilized commercial and industrial properties in North Carolina and other southern states, where sunlight is at a maximum and cost of installation can be significantly discounted by tax incentives and renewable energy development funding.
We intend to use the proceeds from our latest private placement (i) to pay operating and business development expenses, (ii) to pay other expenses related to marketing of solar energy projects, and (iii) for general working capital. Amounts actually expended and the timing of expenditures may vary considerably based on several factors including our results of operations.
Going Concern
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we are in the development stage with limited operations, used cash in operations of ($134,609) from inception through July 31, 2013 and have a net loss from inception through July 31, 2013 of ($320,747). This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
Results of Operations
Results of operations for the quarter year ended July 31, 2013 as compared to the quarter year ended July 31, 2012
Revenues. Revenues for the quarter ended July 31, 2013 were $795, as compared with $835 for the quarter ended July 31, 2012. The decrease for the quarter ended July 31, 2013 is primarily attributable to the decrease in amount of energy our Photovoltaic system was able to produce.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the quarter ended July 31, 2013 were $39,183, as compared with $35,400 for the quarter ended July 31, 2012. The increase in operating expenses in quarter ended July 31, 2013 was primarily attributable to the increase in professional fees due to the costs of being a public company and the increase in general administration to implement our business plan.
Net Loss. Our net loss for the quarter ended July 31, 2013 was ($38,388), as compared with ($30,826) and for the quarter ended July 31, 2012. The increase for the quarter ended July 31, 2013 is primarily attributable to the increased general and administrative fees.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash totaled $3,664 at July 31, 2013.
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities. Net cash of $392 was provided by operating activities in the quarter ended July 31, 2013, as opposed to ($8,052) used in operating activities in the quarter ended July 31, 2012. From December 9, 2010 (inception) to July 31, 2013, net cash of ($134,609) was used for operating activities.
Net Cash Used In Investing Activities. Net cash of $0 was used in investing activities in the quarter ended July 31, 2013, as opposed to $0 in the quarter ended July 31, 2012. From December 9, 2010 (inception) to July 31, 2013, net cash of ($68,352) was used in investing activities.
Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Financing Activities. Net cash of $0 was used in financing activities in the quarter ended July 31, 2013, as opposed to ($1,825) used in financing activities in quarter ended July 31, 2012. From December 9, 2010 (inception) to July 31, 2013, net cash of $206,625 was provided by financing activities.
The Company expended significant funds on professional fees due the fact that we recently went public. The Company also used funds to purchase equipment to implement our business plan. We expect that we will still have significant professional expenses due to the costs of being a public company, but that they will be lower than the one-time expense of going public. We anticipate that we will have to generate enough revenue or enter into additional debt or equity financings to have enough cash to sustain operations for at least a year. However, we cannot make any assurance that we will be successful in generating enough revenue or obtain additional financings to sustain operations. Moreover, our independent auditors have issued a going concern opinion that raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Management may decide, based on market conditions, to seek future private placements if management believes such private placements are in the best interests of the Company.
The revenue that we have earned from our initial facility in North Carolina has been minimal as we only earned $795 in the quarter ended July 31, 2013 and $5,651 from December 9, 2010 (Inception) to July 31, 2013. However, we believe that we will be able to significantly increase our revenue after we install additional solar panels in this location.
We do not anticipate researching any further products or services nor the purchase or sale of any significant equipment. We also do not expect any significant additions to the number of employees other than those noted above.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect or change on the Company’s financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with the Company is a party, under which the Company has (i) any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest; or (ii) a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Basis of Presentation
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company’s system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that (1) recorded transactions are valid; (2) all valid transactions are recorded and (3) transactions are recorded in the period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods being presented.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. A change in managements’ estimates or assumptions could have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations during the period in which such changes occurred.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s financial statements reflect all adjustments that management believes are necessary for the fair presentation of their financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition
The Company will recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company generates revenue from the sale of energy collected by the photovoltaic system monthly as the revenue is earned.
Income Tax
We are subject to state and federal income taxes in the U.S. Significant judgment is required in evaluating our uncertain tax positions and determining our provision for income taxes. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” we provide for the recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is more likely than not.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC, did not or are not believed by management, to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The Company is a smaller reporting company and is therefore not required to provide this information.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) require public companies to maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” which are defined as controls and other procedures 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 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 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. A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 2) or combination of control deficiencies, that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
The Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of July 31, 2013, the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses described below:
1. | We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act which is applicable to us. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness. |
2. | The Company’s board of directors has no audit committee, independent director or member with financial expertise which causes ineffective oversight of the Company’s external financial reporting and internal control over financial reporting. |
3. | We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness. |
4. | We have had, and continue to have, a significant number of audit adjustments. Audit adjustments are the result of a failure of the internal controls to prevent or detect misstatements of accounting information. The failure could be due to inadequate design of the internal controls or to a misapplication or override of controls. Management evaluated the impact of our significant number of audit adjustments and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness. |
17 |
In light of the material weaknesses, the management of the Company performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, we believe that our consolidated financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our consolidated financial condition, consolidated results of operations and cash flows as of and for the reporting periods then ended.
Remediation of Material Weaknesses
We intend to remediate the material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures identified above by adding independent directors or members with financial expertise and/or hiring a full-time CFO, with SEC reporting experience, in the future when working capital permits and by working with our independent registered public accounting firm and refining our internal procedures. To date, we have not been successful in reducing the number of audit adjustments, but will continue our efforts in the coming fiscal year as more fully detailed below.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes in our system of internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Not applicable because we are a smaller reporting company.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
None.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Other Information.
