(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Period from Inception (April 19, 2013) to March 31, 2014
(UNAUDITED)
1. | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND HISTORY |
Description of business – BioAdaptives, Inc. (formerly known as APEX 8 Inc.) (“BioAdaptives”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 19, 2013. BioAdaptives is a research, development, and educational company. Our current focus is on products that improve health and wellness. These products include dietary supplements, specialty food items, and proprietary methods of optimizing the bioelectromagnetic availability of foods and beverages.
On September 11, 2013, BioAdaptives incorporated Blenders Choice Inc (“Blenders”). Blenders is a 100% owned subsidiary incorporated in the State of Nevada. Blenders was created as a separate sales and marketing organization. BioAdaptives does not plan to sell or market products directly, instead seeking to use Blenders as its marketing arm.
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES |
Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q, the financial statements, footnote disclosures and other information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The financial statements contained in this report are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The balance sheet at December 31, 2013, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. The Company has elected a fiscal year ending on December 31.
Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 100% owned subsidiary, Blenders Choice Inc. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company and its subsidiary will be collectively referred to herein as the “Company.”
Use of estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information that is currently available to the Company and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments with original maturities of less than 90 days. Cash equivalents are placed with high credit quality financial institutions and are primarily in money market funds. The carrying value of those investments approximates fair value.
7 |
Investment Securities - Equity securities are classified as available for sale and are stated at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax. All available for sale securities are classified as current assets as they are available to support the Company's current operating needs in the next 12 months. Realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are recognized at the settlement date using the specific identification method and are included in the statements of operations.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 320-10, "Investments-Debt and Equity Securities," the Company evaluates its securities portfolio for other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") throughout the year. Each investment that has a fair value less than the book value is reviewed on a quarterly basis by management. Management considers at a minimum the following factors that, both individually or in combination, could indicate that the decline is other-than-temporary: (a) the Company has the intent to sell the security; (b) it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery; and (c) the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. Among the factors that are considered in determining intent is a review of capital adequacy, interest rate risk profile and liquidity at the Corporation. An impairment charge is recorded against individual securities if the review described above concludes that the decline in value is other-than-temporary.
Revenue Recognition – Revenue is only recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (3) the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.
Earnings (loss) per share – Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive securities had been issued. There were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the periods presented.
Stock-based compensation – The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 718-10, Compensation – Stock Compensation, and the conclusions reached by FASB ASC 505-50, Equity – Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by FASB ASC 505-50.
Fair value of financial instruments – As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of FASB ASC 820-10 (“ASC 820-10”), fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
8 |
Level 1 | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; | |
Level 2 | Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; | |
Level 3 | Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). |
Pursuant to ASC 825, Financial Instruments, the fair value of cash and marketable securities is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company believes that the recorded values of cash, accounts receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and notes payable approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company’s balance sheets as of March 31, 2014.

Equity securities at March 31, 2014, comprised 200,000,000 shares of common stock of CleanPath Resources Corp. (CLNP.PK) recorded at fair value of $180,000 ($0.0009 per share).
Concentration of credit risk – Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company places its cash with financial institutions with high credit ratings.
Advertising costs - Advertising costs are anticipated to be expensed as incurred; however there were no advertising costs included in general and administrative expenses for the period ended March 31, 2014.
Income taxes – The Company records income taxes under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and attributable to operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Accounting standards regarding income taxes requires a reduction of the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, if based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is assessed at each reporting period based on a more-likely-than-not realization threshold. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, the Company’s experience with operating loss and tax credit carryforwards not expiring unused, and tax planning alternatives.
The Company recorded valuation allowances on the net deferred tax assets. Management will reassess the realization of deferred tax assets based on the accounting standards for income taxes each reporting period. To the extent that the financial results of operations improve and it becomes more likely than not that the deferred tax assets are realizable, the Company will be able to reduce the valuation allowance.

Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Accounting standards regarding uncertainty in income taxes provides a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely, based solely on the technical merits, of being sustained on examinations. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements – The Company has evaluated recent pronouncements through Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) 2014-08 and believes that none of them will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
3. | GOING CONCERN |
The accompanying 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. The Company has incurred losses since inception and had a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $26,665 as of March 31, 2014. The Company requires capital for its contemplated operational and marketing activities. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of the Company’s contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.
In order to mitigate the risk related with this uncertainty, the Company plans to issue additional shares of common stock for cash and services during the next 12 months.
4. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Preferred Stock – The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of $.0001 par value preferred stock. As of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, no shares of preferred stock had been issued.
Common Stock - The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of $.0001 par value common stock. As of March 31, 2014, there were 12,086,436 shares of the Company’s common stock issued an outstanding. As of December 31, 2013, 12,041,667 shares were issued and outstanding.
As a result of Hemp Inc. distributing of 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company to the Hemp Inc. shareholders on March 7, 2014, additional shares of the common stock of the Company were issued for no consideration due to rounding of fractional shares.
5. Related Party transactions
Advances from Ferris Holding, Inc., the controlling shareholder of the Company, are non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on demand.

6. | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
In October 2013, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of its common stock to BioSwan, Inc., in connection with the purchase of the assets of BioSwan. BioSwan subsequently transferred those 2,000,000 shares to Hemp, Inc., its parent entity. Hemp sought to distribute the shares to its shareholders, in connection with which the Company filed a registration statement, which went effective in January 2014. Subsequent to March 31, 2014, the distribution agent completed the distribution of shares to the Hemp shareholders (which had commenced in March 2014 during the period covered by this Report). In connection with the distribution, the Company agreed to issue additional shares to avoid issuing fractional shares due to rounding issues.
Ferris Holding, Inc. (“FHI”), an entity owned by Barry Epling, the Chairman of the Board of the Company, was also a shareholder of Hemp, and was entitled to receive shares of the Company’s common stock. On May 8 2014, FHI and Oxford Capital Group (“Oxford”), another Hemp stockholder, entered into agreements with the Company whereby FHI and Oxford agreed to the cancellation of 44,369 and 54,171 of the Company’s shares issuable to them as shareholders of Hemp, respectively. The Oxford shares cancelled were among the 2,000,000 issued to BioSwan in the asset purchase transaction discussed above. As such, the effect of these agreements was to reduce the number of common shares outstanding. Following the cancellation of such shares, the Company had 11,987,896 shares of common stock outstanding.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
APEX 8 Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 19, 2013. On May 3, 2013, we filed a registration statement on Form 10 to register with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as a public company. We were originally organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warranted, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation.
On June 21, 2013, our sole officer and director, Richard Chiang entered into a Share Purchase Agreement pursuant to which he sold an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of his shares of the Company’s common stock to Ferris Holding Inc. at a purchase price of $40,000. In the aggregate, these shares represented 100% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. Effective upon the closing of the Share Purchase Agreement, Richard Chiang owned no shares of the Company’s stock.
Additionally, on June 21, 2013, the Company accepted the resignations of Richard Chiang as the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Chairman of the Board of Directors. These resignations were in connection with the consummation of the Share Purchase Agreement with Ferris Holding Inc., and were not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies, or practices. Effective as of the same date, to fill the vacancies created by Richard Chiang’s resignations, the Company elected and appointed Barry K. Epling as Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Gerald A. Epling, as President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, Chief Financial Officer and Member of the Board of Directors of the Company.
Subsequently, on September 24, 2013, the Board of Directors and Majority Stockholder of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to change the name of the Company from APEX 8 Inc. to BioAdaptives, Inc. On September 25, 2013, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to change the name of the Company to BioAdaptives, Inc.

Discussion
BioAdaptives, Inc., is a development stage company. To date we have, had no sales within fiscal 2013. We can make no assurances that we will find commercial success in any of our products. We also rely upon our sales and licensing of our licensed Agronifier technology and direct and indirect sales of the P-3 and NutraLoad® products for revenues, neither of which have produced any significant revenue since our inception. We are a new company and thus have very limited experience in sales expectations and forecasting. We also have not fully discovered any seasonality to our business as we began operations within the previous third quarter of 2013.
COMPETITION
As a new entrant in the nutraceuticals market, we compete in an intense industry focused on brand recognition, efficacy claims, pricing, and marketing. The nutraceuticals industry is a largely unregulated and fragmented industry. There are numerous companies that compete with us and many of our competitors are larger than the Company, have greater access to capital, and may be better able to withstand volatile market conditions. Moreover, because the nutraceutical industry generally has low barriers to entry, additional competitors could enter the market at any time. In that regard, although the nutraceutical industry to date has been characterized by many relatively small participants, there can be no assurance that national or international companies (which may include pharmaceutical companies or other suppliers to mass merchandisers) will not seek to enter or to increase their presence in this industry. Increased competition in the industry could have an adverse effect on the Company. According to Euromonitor International’s report on Vitamins and Dietary Supplements in the US, dated April 2013 (copy on file with the Company), there are currently, six companies control more than 2% each of the market with the largest controlling 6%. Living Essentials, NBTY, Inc., Pharmavite Corp, Pfizer Consumer Healthcare, Inc., Bayer Group, and General Nutrition Centers, Inc. Together this group controls 22.4% of the US market. Another 28 companies control another 24% of the market. This leaves 53.6% of the market controlled by very small independent companies. The market is extremely competitive for similar products with over one hundred companies competing for market share.
DEPENDENCE ON FERRIS HOLDING
We rely on our majority shareholder, Ferris Holding, to a great extent for support. While we have incurred losses since inception, our business was funded initially by Ferris Holding and by our President, CEO, and CFO, Gerald Epling. Gerald Epling previously was an officer of Ferris Holding, although as of the date of this Quarterly Report, he had resigned and had no management position with Ferris Holding. Additionally, he is the brother of Barry Epling, who is the founder and is the sole officer and director of Ferris Holding. If we cannot achieve commercial success in our products, we may need to continue to rely on Ferris Holding for support. If Ferris Holding at any time decides to alter or change materially our arrangement, we could experience a material adverse effect on the Company.
RELIANCE ON KEY MANAGEMENT
The operation of the Company requires managerial and operational expertise. In particular, the Company is dependent upon the management and leadership skills of Gerald Epling, our sole officer, and Barry Epling, the Chairman of the Board.. Additionally, the Company relies heavily upon the professional medical and scientific advice from its Advisory Board which includes Dr. Jun Gu M.D., Ph.D., Dr. Edward E. Jacobs Jr. M.D., and Dr. Antonina Nabokova, M.D. None of the key management employees has a long-term employment contract with the Company, and there can be no assurance that such individuals will remain with the Company. The failure of such key personnel to continue to be active in management could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH IMPLEMENTATION OF BUSINESS STRATEGY
Implementation of the Company's business strategy is subject to risks and uncertainties, including certain factors that are within the Company's control and other factors that are outside of the Company's control. In addition, certain elements of the Company's business strategy, notably the licensing of additional business lines from Ferris Holding, or other companies could result in significant expenditures of cash and management resources.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ACQUISITIONS
The Company intends to use its equity to pursue acquisitions in the future as a component of the Company's business strategy, although as of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company did not have any definitive agreements relating to any acquisitions. There can be no assurances that attractive acquisition opportunities will be available to the Company, that the Company will be able to obtain financing for or otherwise consummate any future acquisitions or that any acquisitions which are consummated will prove to be successful. Moreover, acquisitions involve numerous risks, including the risk that the acquired business will not perform in accordance with expectations, difficulties in the integration of the operations and products of the acquired businesses with the Company's other businesses, the diversion of management's attention from other aspects of the Company's business, the risks associated with entering geographic and product markets in which the Company has limited or no direct prior experience and the potential loss of key employees of the acquired business. The acquisition of another business can also subject the Company to liabilities and claims arising out of such business. In addition, future acquisitions would likely require additional financing, which would likely result in an increase in the Company's indebtedness or the issuance of additional capital stock which could be dilutive to holders of shares issued in the event of an Offering.
NO ASSURANCE OF FUTURE INDUSTRY GROWTH
Although market data referred to in this Quarterly Report and otherwise available to investors regarding the size and projected growth rates of the nutraceuticals market and our target demographic indicate that such markets are large and rapidly growing, there can be no assurance that such markets are as large as reported or that such projected growth will occur or continue. Market data and projections, such as those presented in this Quarterly Report, are inherently uncertain and subject to change. In addition, the underlying market conditions are subject to change based on economic conditions, consumer preferences and other factors that are beyond the Company's control. There can be no assurance that an adverse change in size or growth rate of the nutraceuticals market will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNATIONAL MARKETS
The Company's growth likely will be dependent in part upon its ability to expand its operations into new markets, including international markets. The Company may experience difficulty entering new international markets due to greater regulatory barriers, the necessity of adapting to new regulatory systems and problems related to entering new markets with different cultural bases and political systems. Operating in international markets exposes the Company to certain risks, including, among other things: (i) changes in or interpretations of foreign regulations that may limit the Company's ability to sell certain products or repatriate profits to the United States, (ii) exposure to currency fluctuations, (iii) the potential imposition of trade or foreign exchange restrictions or increased tariffs and (iv) political instability. If the Company seeks to expand international operations, these and other risks associated with international operations are likely to increase.
Recent Developments
Termination of CleanPath Agreements
14 |
On May 1, 2014, the Company received correspondence from CleanPath Resources Corp. (“CleanPath”) that CleanPath was terminating the agreements between CleanPath and BioSwan, Inc. (“BioSwan”), which the Company acquired from BioSwan on October 21, 2013, in connection with the purchase by the Company of the assets of BioSwan. The Company assumed the obligations of BioSwan pursuant to two agreements, as follows:
- a License Agreement between BioSwan and CleanPath dated as of March 26, 2013, relating to the Ferris Holding Inc. (“Ferris”) proprietary stem cell enhancing products (the “CleanPath Product Agreement”); and
- a License Agreement between BioSwan and CleanPath dated as of July 16, 2013, relating to the Ferris trade secrets relating to Ferris’s proprietary AgronifierTM processes, materials, equipment, software, and hardware (the “CleanPath Technology Agreement”).
CleanPath notified the Company that it was terminating the two agreements with BioSwan. Management of the Company did not object to the termination of the two agreements.
Assertions Relating to CleanPath Shares
CleanPath has also alleged that the shares of CleanPath common stock which were acquired by the Company from BioSwan in October 2013 were improperly issued to BioSwan, and as such, should be canceled.
In connection with the asset purchase from CleanPath, BioSwan made certain representations and warranties to the Company about the CleanPath shares, and management of BioAdaptives has no reason to doubt the validity of those representations and warranties. As such, management of BioAdaptives disputes CleanPath’s claims relating to the invalidity of the CleanPath shares. As of the date of this Report, management was unaware of any lawsuit filed to determine the validity of the CleanPath shares.
Spin-out Transaction; Cancellation of Shares
As discussed in the Company’s prior filings, in October 2013, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of its common stock to BioSwan, Inc., in connection with the purchase of the assets of BioSwan. BioSwan subsequently transferred those 2,000,000 shares to Hemp, Inc., its parent entity. Hemp sought to distribute the shares to its shareholders, in connection with which the Company filed a registration statement, which went effective in January 2014. Subsequent to March 31, 2014, the distribution agent completed the distribution of shares to the Hemp shareholders. In connection with the distribution, the Company agreed to issue additional shares to avoid issuing fractional shares due to rounding issues.
Ferris Holding, Inc. (“FHI”), an entity owned by Barry Epling, the Chairman of the Board of the Company, was also a shareholder of Hemp, and was entitled to receive shares of Hemp common stock. In May 2014, FHI and Oxford Capital Group (“Oxford”), another Hemp stockholder, entered into agreements with the Company whereby FHI and Oxford agreed to the cancellation of the Company’s shares issuable to them as shareholders of Hemp. The Oxford shares cancelled were among the 2,000,000 issued to BioSwan in the asset purchase transaction discussed above. As such, the effect of these agreements was to reduce the number of common shares outstanding. Following the cancellation of such shares, the Company had 11,987,896 shares of common stock outstanding.
Results of Operations for the Period from Inception (April 19, 2013) to March 31, 2014
Our operating results for the period from inception (April 19, 2013) to March 31, 2014 are summarized as follows:

Three months ended March 31, 2014 |
Period from Inception (April 19, 2013) to |
||||
Revenue | $ | 0 | $ | 0 | |
Operating Expenses | $ | 8,386 | $ | 27,163 | |
Other income (expenses) | $ | 0 | $ | 500 | |

Revenues
BioAdaptives, Inc., is a development stage company. During quarter ended March 31, 2014 we did not have sales. We can make no assurances that we will find commercial success in any of our products. We also rely upon our sales and licensing of our Agronifier technology and direct and indirect sales of the P-3 and NutraLoad® products for revenues, neither of which have produced any significant revenue since our inception. We are a new company and thus have very limited experience in sales expectations and forecasting. We also have not fully discovered any seasonality to our business as we began operations in the third quarter of 2013.
Operating Expenses
Our expenses for the period from inception (April 19, 2013) to March 31, 2014 are outlined in the table below:
For the three months ended March 31, 2014 |
Period from Inception (April 19, 2013) to |
||||
General and administrative | $ | 6,128 | $ | 8,505 | |
Professional fees | 2,258 | 10,274 | |||
Total | $ | 8,386 | $ | 18,779 |
Our operating expenses are largely attributable to office, rent and professional fees related to our reporting requirements as a public company and preparing our Form S-1 Registration Statement.
We anticipate that we will incur approximately $30,000 for operating expenses, including, legal, accounting and audit expenses associated with our reporting requirements as a public company under the Exchange Act during the next twelve months.
Net Loss
As a result of our operating expenses the Company reported a net loss of $,386 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.
Comprehensive income (loss)
The Company reported an unrealized gains on marketable securities of $800,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. On October 21, 2013, BioAdaptives entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement in which the Company received stock certificates for 200,000,000 shares of CleanPath Resources Corp. common stock with a quoted value of $200,000 ($0.001 per share). At March 31, 2014, the quoted value of CleanPath Resources Corp. common stock was $180,000 ($0.0009 per share) resulting in other comprehensive loss of $20,000. Comprehensive income from inception (April 19, 2013) to March 31, 2014 is $71,614.

Cash Used In Operating Activities
Our net loss for the period ended March 31, 2014, was the main contributing factor for our negative operating cash flow.
Cash from Financing Activities
As of March 31, 2014, we have insufficient cash to operate our business at the current level for the next twelve months and insufficient cash to achieve our business goals. The success of our business plan beyond the next 12 months is contingent upon us obtaining additional financing. We intend to fund operations through debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund our capital expenditures, working capital, or other cash requirements. We do not have any formal commitments or arrangements for the sales of stock or the advancement or loan of funds at this time. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.
Going Concern
At March 31, 2014, we had $11,541 of cash on-hand and a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $26,665, and as noted throughout this report and our financial statements and notes thereto, our independent auditors have expressed their substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern as of March 31, 2014. We anticipate incurring significant losses in the future. We do not have an established source of revenue sufficient to cover our operating costs. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to successfully compete, operate profitably and/or raise additional capital through other means. If we are unable to reverse our losses, we will have to discontinue operations.
The financial statements included in this quarterly report have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
Management’s plans include the raising of capital through the equity markets to fund future operations, seeking additional acquisitions, and generating of revenue through our business. However, even if we do raise sufficient capital to support our operating expenses and generate adequate revenues, there can be no assurances that the revenue will be sufficient to enable us to develop business to a level where we will generate profits and positive cash flows from operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue, and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause an effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has evaluated recent pronouncements through Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) 2014-06 and believes that none of them will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, March 31, 2014. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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 controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
18 |
Based upon that evaluation, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report due to a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which is described below.
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 Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As a result of this assessment, management concluded that, as of March 31, 2014, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. Our management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.
We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we hope to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending December 31, 2014: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out in (i) and (ii) are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We know of no pending legal proceedings to which we are a party which are material or potentially material, either individually or in the aggregate. We are from time to time, during the normal course of our business operations, subject to various litigation claims and legal disputes. We do not believe that the ultimate disposition of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During the period covered by this Report, the Company did not sell any equity securities in registered or unregistered transactions.
Subsequent to the period covered by this Report and as discussed above, in connection with the spinout of its shares by Hemp, Inc., to the Hemp shareholders, the Company issued additional shares of its common stock in connection with rounding issues to avoid the issuance of fractional shares. The shares issued were included in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 which went effective in January 2014.
