Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated 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 United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. 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 statement presentation.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10K, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, for the periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.
Note 2 - Nature of Operations
Global Equity Partners, Plc. (“GEP”), a private company, was organized under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles on September 2, 2009. Global Equity International Inc. (the “Company” or “GEI”), a reporting company since June 21, 2012, was organized under the laws of the state of Nevada on October 1, 2010. On November 15, 2010, GEP executed a reverse recapitalization with GEI. On August 22, 2014, we formed a Dubai subsidiary of Global Equity Partners Plc. called GE Professionals DMCC. Global Equity Partners Plc. is the parent company of its 100% subsidiary GE Professionals DMCC (Dubai).
Revenue is generated from business consulting services, introduction fees, and equity participation.
Note 3 - Going Concern
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had a loss of $795,820 for three months ended March 31, 2015, net cash provided by operations of $28,589 for the three months ended March 31, 2015; working capital deficit of $2,853,770 and stockholders´ deficit of $4,422,739 as of March 31, 2015. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on Management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The Company may need to incur liabilities with certain related parties to sustain the Company’s existence.
The Company expects to use its working capital to implement a marketing program to increase awareness of its business model, which includes, but is not limited to, acquisition of private companies, with the intention of taking those companies public in the United States and possibly dual listing those entities abroad. In the event that operating cash flows are slowed or nonexistent, the Company plans to reduce its overhead wherever possible.
Depending upon market conditions, the Company may not be successful in raising sufficient additional capital to achieve its business objectives. In such event, the business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected, hence there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 4 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
Global Equity International Inc. is the parent company of its 100% subsidiary Global Equity Partners Plc and Global Equity Partners Plc. is the parent company of its 100% subsidiary, GE Professionals DMCC (Dubai). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future non confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, competition and potential risk of business failure. The risk of social and governmental factors is also a concern since the Company is headquartered in Dubai.
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2015 and at December 31, 2014, respectively; the Company had no cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company recognizes accounts receivable in connection with the services provided. The Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on an analysis of current receivables aging and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible.
Foreign currency policy
The Company’s accounting policies related to the consolidation and accounting for foreign operations are as follows: All foreign currency transactions will be translated into United States dollars “$” and/or “USD” as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities will be translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses will be translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Equity transactions will be translated at each historical transaction date spot rate. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period will be included as a component of our stockholders’ equity (deficit) as “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).” Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions will be included in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss as other income (expense).
For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and for the year ended December 31, 2014, our functional and operational currency was the US Dollar.

Marketable Securities
(A) Classification of Securities
At the time of the acquisition, a security is designated as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading, which depends on the ability and intent to hold such security to maturity. Securities classified as trading and available-for-sale are reported at fair value, while securities classified as held-to-maturity are reported at amortized cost.
All securities held at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, were designated as available for sale. Any un-realized gains and losses are reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains (losses) will be computed on a specific identification basis and will be reflected in the statement of operations.
Cost Method Investment
At March 31, 2013, the Company had investment in securities of two different Companies, having a cost of $163,000 that was treated as a cost method investment. The value of the cost method investment pertains to the receipt of 9.2% of the common stock in a private company in which the best evidence of value was the services rendered and a further 9.86% of the common stock in another private company in which the best evidence of value was the services rendered.
At June 30, 2013, there were identifiable events or changes in circumstances that had a significant adverse effect on the value of one of the investments: hence the Company impaired $160,000 of the investments.
At June 30, 2013, the Company received 2,000,000 shares from a private company and client having a cost of $2,000 that is treated as a cost method investment. The value of the cost method investment pertains to the receipt of 8.55% of the common stock in a private company in which the best evidence of value was the services rendered.
At December 31, 2014, there were identifiable events or changes in circumstances that had a significant adverse effect on the value of one of the investments hence the Company impaired $2,000 of the investments.
Equity investment in companies is accounted for under the cost method as the equity investments do not have readily determinable fair values. As per ASC codification 320 “Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, non-marketable equity securities that do not have a readily determinable fair value are not required to be accounted for under the equity method and are typically carried at cost.
(B) Other than Temporary Impairment
The Company reviews its equity investment portfolio for any unrealized losses that would be deemed other-than-temporary and require the recognition of an impairment loss in income. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, the Company evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than cost, and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investments. Management also considers the type of security, related-industry and sector performance, as well as published investment ratings and analyst reports, to evaluate its portfolio. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis in the investment is established. If market, industry, and/or investee conditions deteriorate, the Company may incur future impairments. The Company recorded as permanent impairment loss on available for sale marketable securities of Nil and $2,000 as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Fixed Assets
Fixed Assets are to be stated at cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided based on estimated useful lives of the assets. Cost of improvements that substantially extend the useful lives of assets can be capitalized. Repairs and maintenance expenses are to be charged to expense when incurred. In case of sale or disposal of an asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the consolidated financial statements.

Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, was $2,752 and $471, respectively.
Beneficial Conversion Feature
For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records a “beneficial conversion feature” (“BCF”) and related debt discount.
When the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF would be recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument. The discount would be amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.
Debt issue costs and debt discount
The Company may pay debt issue costs, and record financing costs and debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of convertible debt. These costs are amortized over the life of the debt to interest expense. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.
Original issue discount
For certain convertible debt issued, the Company provides the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount is recorded to debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.
Valuation of Derivative Instruments
ASC 815-40 (formerly SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities”), requires that embedded derivative instruments be bifurcated and assessed, along with free-standing derivative instruments such as warrants, on their issuance date and in accordance with ASC 815-40-15 (formerly EITF 00-19 “Accounting for derivative financial instruments indexed to, and potentially settled in, a company’s own stock”) to determine whether they should be considered a derivative liability and measured at their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing formula and present value pricing. At March 31, 2015, the Company adjusted its derivative liability to its fair value, and reflected the change in fair value, in its consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

Share-based payments
The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants at their fair value on the grant date, which is based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.
Share based payments, excluding restricted stock, are valued using a Black-Scholes pricing model. Share based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period.
When computing fair value, the Company considered the following variables:
● | The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the share based payment in effect at the time of the grant. | |
● | The expected term was developed by management estimate. | |
● | The Company has not paid any dividends on common stock since inception and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the near future. | |
● | The expected volatility is based on management estimates regarding private company stock, where future trading of stock in a public market is expected to be highly volatile. | |
● | The forfeiture rate is based on historical experience. |
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. The Company has no common stock equivalents, which, if exercisable, would be dilutive. A separate computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is not presented.
Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level. The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:
● | Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. | |
● | Level 2: Inputs reflect: quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. | |
● | Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available. |

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for prepaid expenses, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accounts payable to related parties and loans payable to related parties, approximate fair value based on the short-term nature of these instruments.
The Company has assets and liabilities measured at fair market value on a recurring basis. Consequently, the Company had gains and losses reported in the statement of operations.
The following is the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

The following section describes the valuation methodologies the Company uses to measure financial instruments at fair value:
Marketable Securities — the Level 2 position consists of the Company’s investment in equity securities of stock held in publically traded companies. The valuation of these securities is based on significant inputs that are observable or can be derived from or corroborated by observable market data. These valuations are typically based on quoted prices in active markets. The Company´s investments in equity securities are in relatively inactive markets.
Non-Marketable Securities at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis — certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The level 3 position consist of investments accounted for under the cost method. The Level 3 position consists of investment in an equity security held in a private company.
Management believes that an “other-than-temporary impairment” would be justified, as according to ASC 320-10 an investment is considered impaired when the fair value of an investment is less than its amortized cost basis. The impairment is considered either temporary or other-than-temporary. The accounting literature does not define other-than-temporary. It does, however, state that other-than-temporary does not mean permanent; although, all permanent impairments are considered other-than-temporary. The literature does provide some examples of factors which may be indicative of an “other-than-temporary impairment”, such as:
● | the length of time and extent to which market value has been less than cost; | |
● | the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; and | |
● | the intent and ability of the holder to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value. |
Management believes that the fair value of its investment has been correctly measured, as the length of time that the stock has been less than cost is nominal.

The Company has accrued salary to the officers and directors of the Company based on the terms of the employment agreements entered into with each officer. As at December 31, 2013, $209,475 was due to the Chief Executive Officer and $115,000 was due to the Chief Financial Officer. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company converted these amounts to Convertible Loans Payable. These amounts have a term of two years and are repayable on demand and will accrue interest at 10% on the loan period. The agreements also give an option to the officers of the Company to convert all or part of the debt that the Company maintains with them into restricted shares at $1.20 per share.
On November 15, 2014, the board of directors agreed to modify the conversion terms of the loan and extend the term until December 31, 2015. The new conversion terms are as follows: 50% of the average 10 day closing price prior to the conversion. This modification caused the initial notes to be deemed extinguished. The company has accounted for the corresponding debt discount, derivate liability and gain on extinguishment attached to these notes.
During the quarter ending on March 31, 2015, a total interest of $7,550 was accrued and a total of $66,129 debt discount was amortized leaving an unamortized balance of $202,060. The fair value of derivative liability as on March 31, 2015 is recorded at $480,622, thereby recognizing a net loss on derivative liability for the quarter ending on March 31, 2015 of $87,112.
The principal balance outstanding of the loan payable account (net of unamortized debt discount of $202,060) as at March 31, 2015 is $99,929.

As the principal and interest was not paid back to the lender on time, the Company compensated the lender with an additional 20,000 common restricted shares and for this the lender agreed to a five month extension. This stock compensation was issued to the lender also on December 12, 2013. This loan is currently in default. Total accrued interest as at December 31, 2014 is $106,196.

(E) Convertible notes and derivative liability
We have evaluated the terms and conditions of the notes. Because the economic characteristics and risks of the equity linked conversion options are not clearly and closely related to a debt-type host, the conversion features require classification and measurement as derivative financial instruments. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the initial fair value of the derivative first by allocating the fair value of the embedded derivative as a reduction to the face value of the debt recorded as a contra liability or debt discount to be accreted over the term of the note. On each reporting date, the fair value of the embedded derivative is calculated with changes in value recorded to other expense.

The board of directors subsequently agreed that the Chief Executive Officer of the Company would retire to treasury 3,466,668 of these Series “A” preferred shares and retain, the balance, 1,533,332 shares.
On November 21, 2012 the Company’s CEO gave 533,332 of his Series “A” preferred shares to the Company’s CFO (400,000) and two other employees (133,332). As the 533,332 preferred shares will convert into 5,333,320 on December 1, 2014 and the price per common share on November 21, 2012 was $0.25, the contribution by the officer to the Company was calculated at $1,333,330.
On December 12, 2013 the Company issued 450,000 Series “A” preferred shares to the Company’s CFO (200,000), CEO (200,000) and one employee (50,000) having a fair value of $540,000 ($0.12 per share), based upon the fair value of the services rendered, which represented the best evidence of fair value.
The Company has determined that no beneficial conversion feature or derivative financial instruments exist in connection with the Series “A”, convertible preferred stock, as the conversion rate was fixed at an amount equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, there are a stated number of fixed shares.
Redeemable Preferred Stock
Under Regulation S-X, Rule 5-02-28, preferred stock must be classified outside of stockholders’ equity when the stock is:
● | Redeemable at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date, | |
● | Redeemable at the option of the holder, or | |
● | Redeemable based on conditions outside the control of the issuer. |
The Series “A”, convertible preferred stock is redeemable on December 1, 2014 and it is presented on the balance sheets as “Redeemable Preferred Stock” in a manner consistent with temporary equity. There are no other features associated with this class of redeemable preferred stock, which require disclosure. The carrying amount and redemption amount is $1,020,000. There are no redemption requirements and the preferred stock holders will redeem these shares within the next 6 months.

(C) Notes Receivable Common
On May 1, 2014, the Company entered into two Securities Purchase Agreement, one with Adar Bay LLC and the other with LG Capital Inc., each providing for the purchase of Convertible Redeemable Note. The aggregate principal amount of each note was $100,000. The first note from each of the funders being in the amount of $50,000 each and the second (the “Second Note”) shall initially be paid for by the issuance of an offsetting $50,000 secured note issued to the Company by the Buyer (“Buyer Note”), provided that prior to conversion of the Second Note, the Buyer must have paid off the Buyer Note in cash such that the Second Note may not be converted until it has been paid for in cash. The amount due under second note is classified as Contra Equity account and presented under the statement of stockholders’ deficit. On December 19, 2014 and December 24, 2014 respectively, the noteholders unilaterally decided not to fund these second notes and hence the Second note along with the buyers note stands cancelled leaving $0 balance in Contra Equity Account as at December 31, 2014.

Note 10 – Restated financial statements
On April 8, 2015, our independent accountants brought to our attention a series of material adjustments that needed to be made to our financial statements. These adjustments primarily affected the derivative liability, interest expense, prepaid, fixed assets and revenue recognition policy. As a result of our independent accountant’s suggestions, we determined that significant adjustments were required to be made at each of the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2014.
Our Chief Executive Officer discussed this matter with the Company´s Chief Executive Officer and it was agreed that we had to file a Form 8-K stating that our investors and shareholders could not rely on our interim 2014 financial statements. We filed the form 8k on April 10, 2015. We subsequently filed amendments to the form 8k on May 4 and 5, 2015.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESERVES
Our audited financial statements contained herein have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company had a loss of $795,820 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, of which $338,228 was due to other income and expenses as per the following table:

The Company had $1,979 in cash; net cash provided by operations of $28,589 for the three months period ended March 31, 2015; working capital deficit of $2,853,770 and stockholders´ deficit of $4,422,739 as of March 31, 2015.
These factors raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on Management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The Company may need to incur liabilities with certain related parties to sustain the Company’s existence.
The Company expects to use its working capital to implement a marketing program to increase awareness of its business model, which includes, but is not limited to, acquisition of private companies, with the intention of taking those companies public in the United States and possibly dual listing those entities abroad. In the event that operating cash flows are slowed or non-existent, the Company plans to reduce overheads wherever possible.
Depending upon market conditions, the Company may not be successful in raising sufficient additional capital to achieve its business objectives. In such event, the business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected hence there is a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
It is the Company’s intention to seek additional debt financing, which we plan to use as additional working capital to implement our marketing program to increase awareness of our business model and also to expand our operations via the acquisition of companies that are in a similar space and industry as ours, although we have not identified any companies that we would consider acquiring. However, we do not have any verbal or written agreements with anyone to provide us with debt financing. Any short fall in our projected operating revenues will be covered by:
● | The cash fees that we expect to receive during the next 12 months from the clients we currently have under contract. | |
● | Receiving loans from one or more of our officers even though at the present time, we do not have verbal or written commitments from any of our officers to lend us money. | |
● | Receiving loans from third party lenders and/ or investors. |
FUTURE PLANS
We currently have 17 live clients under contract, two of which were signed in April 2015, that either are seeking a listing on a recognized Stock Exchange or are seeking funding for acquisition and growth:
1 | Arrow Cars International Inc |
2 | Regis Card Group Limited |

MILESTONES FOR 2015 /2016:
Our specific plan of operations and milestones through May 2016 are as follows:
1) DEVELOP THE INTRODUCER NETWORK FURTHER AND IN HOPES OF ATTRACTING NEW INTEREST FOR OUR SERVICES.
We currently are relying on introductions to potential clients by the following firms in Asia and Europe:
● | Certain registered investment houses in London (United Kingdom). | |
● | An Austrian management consultancy firm based in Vienna (Austria). | |
● | Various investment banks based in Dubai (UAE) | |
● | Certain Private Banks based in Amsterdam (Holland), Luxembourg (Luxembourg) and Zurich in Switzerland. | |
● | The Colombo Stock Exchange in Sri Lanka. | |
● | Various family offices in Dubai (UAE). |
We do not have any verbal or written agreements with the firms identified above, as our relationship with each of them has been developed over the past year or so.
We intend to develop relationships with a further six “introducers” to potential new business for the Company before the end of December 2015.
1) DUBAI EXPANSION
We will continue to establish a firm presence in Dubai, UAE where we are attracting clients, relationships and awareness. Our Dubai operation is currently a branch office of the company allowing us a license to trade in the area. This branch office will continue to recruit new members of staff that will allow us to grow and become more efficient in Dubai.
2) OPEN AN OFFICE IN THE US.
During 2015, we intend to open an office on the East coast of the USA in order to substantially expand our network of introducers to new business and also professionals and consultants.
7 |
3) CREATE A MORE EFFICIENT SYSTEM FOR REVIEWING PROSPECTIVE BUSINESSES.
We will concentrate our efforts on the quality of the company that is introduced to us. We will start off by sending the client a standard due diligence list and request that they complete the list and send us the support for review. We will then follow-up the due diligence with a “site visit” in order to properly understand our client’s business model and more importantly meet the principals in person.
We will create a deeper due diligence program allowing us to dig deep on any prospective client prior to engagement thus protecting the company from any future problems by employing one new staff member that will be responsible for the due diligence analysis and creating a report for our file on their findings.
4) EXPAND OUR CONSULTANCY TO INCLUDE MORE MERGER AND ACQUISITION ACTIVITY.
We intend to form relationships with merger and acquisition specialists during 2015 which will hopefully enable us to:
● | Find potential merger and acquisition candidates. | |
● | Introduce our clients to brokers and investment bankers. | |
● | Introduce our clients to the appropriate professionals (attorneys and accountants) to assist them in a public offering or exchange listing. |
The only additional cost for this activity will be a very small administrative burden for telephone calls and communications to be funded out of operational income, mainly income receivable from clients currently under contract.
5) DEVELOP IN HOUSE IT DEPARTMENT
Commencing initially with one member we will start to develop a proprietary program allowing us to easily monitor a client’s development status and work in progress. We will also use this tool to manage our pipeline of clients and therefore it will become vital in our cash flow forecasting.
6) DUAL LISTING DUBAI
During 2015 or the early part of 2016, when this option becomes feasible, we intend to try to become one of the first foreign companies to dual list on Dubai NASDAQ; our plan is to carry out a public relations campaign alongside the dual listing process with the public relations firm we have selected with a view to prepare a campaign that will have a maximum effect.
7) EXPAND OUR NETWORK OF CONTACTS WITHIN THE INVESTMENT COMMUNITY IN DUBAI
Our network of investment companies in Dubai is currently small; however, we intend to substantially expand our Dubai network in order to enable us to make introductions on a more institutional level. We intend to develop our network to at least twelve Investment Institutions who may have interests in minority shareholding in companies from outside of the Middle East Region.
At present we are being received with open arms by the Dubai and Middle Eastern financial community; hence we have plans to host various hospitality events for our current clients, our key contacts and upper management of the company.
8 |
8) EXPAND OUR RANGE OF BUSINESS AND CONTACTS
We intend to take our consultancy service outside of the Middle East and Europe into Asia and Sri Lanka. We will expand on a ‘Commission Only’ basis for the individuals or companies who take on our service to offer to their clients. Accountants, lawyers and finance professionals are the target market for overlaying our service into their existing client banks in return for a percentage of fees received. We also intend to add at least two new members to our administration team during 2015.
9) ROAD SHOWS
We will continue the “Road shows”, in Dubai with the support of the Dubai NASDAQ for companies already listed in Sri Lanka and other parts of Asia who could be seeking a dual listing in Dubai to provide liquidity and more capital raising options. We have commenced initial conversations with a brokerage house in Sri Lanka to look at their clients they have that would be suitable for the Dubai market. We will initially invite management of selected companies to Dubai for a two day event in conjunction with Nasdaq Dubai and a number of leading Investment Institutions, the anticipated cost of this is to be met by the prospective clients themselves and sponsorship from the institutions and Nasdaq Dubai.
10) FURTHER EXPAND OUR RANGE OF BUSINESS AND CONTACTS
In 2015, we intend to cement in the relationships created. The target markets for attracting clients are: Thailand, Sri Lanka, China, Hong Kong and Singapore. The foundation for this development commenced in 2013 and 2014.
To service the clients generated from these markets we will spend time creating a network of service companies who we can utilize to assist us on a local basis. We will explore the possibilities of dual listings for our clients in Singapore to allow us a local market for any Asian clients we will attract and giving the company a firm foothold in the Asian territory.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk.
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were not effective.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(1) | pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; | |
(2) | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors; and | |
(3) | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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.
At March 31, 2015, we carried out an evaluation required by Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.
Based upon such evaluation, such person concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level because, due to financial constraints, the Company does not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge, experience and training in the application of generally accepted accounting principles commensurate with our financial accounting and reporting requirements. In the event that we may receive sufficient funds for internal operational purposes, we plan to retain the services of additional internal management staff to provide assistance to our current management with the monitoring and maintenance of our internal controls and procedures.
This Quarterly Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for newly public companies.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
We did not change our internal control over financial reporting during our last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
