NC SOLAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JANUARY 31, 2014
(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 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 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 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 2014 and 2013 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 and interest, 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 January 31, 2014 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 January 31, 2014 and January 31, 2013, there were no common share equivalents outstanding.
(F) Business Segments
The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.

NC SOLAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JANUARY 31, 2014
(UNAUDITED)
(G) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes 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.
(H) Equipment
The Company values equipment at cost and depreciates these assets using the straight-line method over their expected useful life, which is estimated to be five-years.
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 January 31, 2014 and 2013.
(I) Concentration of Credit Risk
At January 31, 2014 and April 30, 2013, accounts receivable of $686 and $513, respectively, consisted of two main types of receivables; receivables from a local utility company for energy resale and an energy rebate from the State of North Carolina.
For the nine months ended January 31, 2014, the local utility company accounted for approximately 16% of revenues and 1% of the total outstanding accounts receivable and the energy rebate from the state of North Carolina accounted for 84% of revenue and 99% of total outstanding accounts receivable.
For the nine months ended January 31, 2013, the local utility company accounted for approximately 19% of revenues and 27% of the total outstanding accounts receivable and the energy rebate from the state of North Carolina accounted for 81% of revenue and 73% of total outstanding accounts receivable.
(J) 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.
NOTE 2 | ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE |
At January 31, 2014 and April 30, 2013, the Company had the following accounts receivable:

NC SOLAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JANUARY 31, 2014
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 9 | 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 January 31, 2014, the Company has a deferred Federal grant of $11,217 and has recognized $7,478 of the grant as other income.
NOTE 10 | GOING CONCERN |
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company is in the development stage with no operations, used cash since inception of $146,080 and has a net loss since inception of $386,624. 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.
NOTE 11 | SUBSEQUENT EVENT |
On February 4, 2014, the Company and its principal stockholders entered into a Letter of Intent with an investor (the “LOI”) pursuant to which the company’s principal stockholders will sell 7,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company which represents approximately 84% of the outstanding common stock. As of today, no definitive agreements have been entered and no transaction has been closed.

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.
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 $146,080 from inception through January 31, 2014 and have a net loss from inception through January 31, 2014 of $386,624. 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 three months ended January 31, 2014 as compared to the three months ended January 31, 2013
Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2014 were $561, as compared with $335 for the three months ended January 31, 2013. The increase for the three months ended January 31, 2014 is primarily attributable to the increase in amount of energy our Photovoltaic system was able to produce.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2014 were $40,538, as compared with $31,697 for the three months ended January 31, 2013. The increase in operating expenses in the three months ended January 31, 2014 was primarily attributable to the increase in professional fees and general and administrative fees due.
Net Loss. Our net loss for the three months ended January 31, 2014 were ($40,144), as compared with ($31,362) for the three months ended January 31, 2013. The increase for the three months ended January 31, 2014 is primarily attributable to the increased professional fees and general and administrative fees.
Results of operations for the nine months ended January 31, 2014 as compared to the nine months ended January 31, 2013
Revenues. Revenues for the nine months ended January 31, 2014 were $2,112, as compared with $1,868 for the nine months ended January 31, 2013. The increase for the nine months ended January 31, 2014 is primarily attributable to the increase in amount of energy our Photovoltaic system was able to produce.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the nine months ended January 31, 2014 were $106,210, as compared with $121,816 for the nine months ended January 31, 2013. The decrease in operating expenses in the nine months ended January 31, 2014 was primarily attributable to the decrease in professional fees due.
Net Loss. Our net loss for the nine months ended January 31, 2014 was ($104,265), as compared with ($116,209) for the nine months ended January 31, 2013. The decrease for the nine months ended January 31, 2014 is primarily attributable to the decreased professional fees.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash totaled $193 at January 31, 2014.
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities. Net cash of ($11,079) was used in operating activities during the nine months ended January 31, 2014, as opposed to ($82,491) used in operating activities during the nine months ended January 31, 2013. From December 9, 2010 (inception) to January 31, 2014, net cash of ($146,080) was used in operating activities.
13 |
Net Cash Used In Investing Activities. Net cash of $0 and ($6,034) was used in investing activities during the nine months ended January 31, 2014 and January 31, 2013. From December 9, 2010 (inception) to January 31, 2014, net cash of ($68,352) was used in investing activities.
Net Cash (Used In) Provided By Financing Activities. Net cash of $8,000 was provided by financing activities during the nine months ended January 31, 2014, as opposed to ($1,825) used in financing activities during the nine months ended January 31, 2013. From December 9, 2010 (inception) to January 31, 2014, net cash of $214,625 was provided by financing activities.
The Company has not spent as much on professional fees because as noted earlier we are now publicly-quoted company and have less expense in filing quarterly reports. As noted in the paragraph, we are studying the option of raising more capital. We do receive monies from the energy we sell and some grants from the state but will need to find more capital as we move forward with 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.
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.
14 |
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.
15 |
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 January 31, 2014, 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. |
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.
