· | our ability to attract and retain key members of our management team; |
· | our future financing plans and our ability to consummate financing on favorable terms if at all; |
· | our anticipated needs for working capital; |
· | the anticipated trends in our industry; |
· | our ability to expand operational capabilities; |
· | competition existing today or that will likely arise in the future; and |

Forward-looking statements, which involve assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies, and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words "may," "should," "would," "could," "scheduled," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "believe," "intend," "seek," or "project" or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. Actual results, performance, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations, prospects and opportunities could differ materially and perhaps substantially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements as a result of various risks, uncertainties and other factors. These statements may be found under the section of our Transition Report on Form 10-K for the three month period ended December 31, 2013 (filed on March 27, 2014) entitled "Risk Factors" as well as in our other public filings.

Notes to the Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Organization and Operations
Upstream Biosciences, Inc.
Upstream Biosciences, Inc. ("Upstream Biosciences") was incorporated on March 20, 2002 under the laws of the State of Nevada. Upstream Biosciences engaged in developing technology relating to biomarker identification, disease susceptibility and drug response areas of cancer.
Change in Control
On May 24, 2013, Charles El-Moussa and Six Capital Limited (“Six Capital”) (collectively, the “Sellers”), as majority stockholders of Upstream Biosciences, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and RealSource Acquisitions Group, LLC, a Utah limited liability company, and Chesterfield Faring Ltd., a New York corporation (collectively, the “Purchasers”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Sellers agreed to sell to the Purchasers an aggregate of 10,778,081 shares (representing approximately 90% of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the Company) of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) for $175,000 in cash from the personal funds of the Purchasers.
RealSource Residential, Inc.
On July 11, 2013, Upstream Biosciences entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which Upstream Biosciences merged with its newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary, RealSource Residential, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Merger Sub” and such merger transaction, the “Merger”) with the Company remaining as the surviving corporation under the name “RealSource Residential, Inc.” (the “Surviving Company” or the “Company”). Upon the consummation of the Merger, the separate existence of Merger Sub ceased and shareholders of the Company became shareholders of the surviving company named RealSource Residential, Inc. The Merger was effective on Monday, July 15, 2013 and was approved by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority on August 5, 2013.
The Company has been engaged in real estate ownership and management based since the merger with RealSource Residential, Inc.
Note 2 - Significant and Critical Accounting Policies and Practices
The Management of the Company is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies and the appropriateness of accounting policies and their application. Critical accounting policies and practices are those that are both most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results and require management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company’s significant and critical accounting policies and practices are disclosed below as required by generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis of Presentation - Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the transition period ended December 31, 2013 and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Transitional Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 27, 2014.
Development Stage Company
The Company is a development stage company as defined by section 915-10-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Although the Company recognized nominal amount of revenues, it is still devoting substantially all of its efforts on establishing the business and its planned principal operations have not commenced. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company's development stage activities.
F-6 |
The Company is considered a development stage company. The Company has elected to adopt early application of Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. Upon adoption, the Company no longer presents or discloses inception-to-date information and other remaining disclosure requirements of Topic 915.
Fiscal Year-End
The Company originally elected September 30th as its fiscal year-end date upon formation
On July 9, 2013, the Company’s board of directors voted to change the Company’s fiscal year end from September 30th to December 31st. The Company’s 2014 fiscal began on January 1, 2014 and will end on December 31, 2014.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date(s) of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period(s).
Critical accounting estimates are estimates for which (a) the nature of the estimate is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change and (b) the impact of the estimate on financial condition or operating performance is material. The Company’s critical accounting estimates and assumptions affecting the financial statements were:
(i) | Assumption as a going concern: Management assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business; |
(ii) | Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets: Management assumes that the realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets resulting from its net operating loss (“NOL”) carry–forwards for Federal income tax purposes that may be offset against future taxable income was not considered more likely than not and accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net loss carry-forwards are offset by a full valuation allowance. Management made this assumption based on (a) the Company has incurred recurring losses, (b) general economic conditions, and (c) its ability to raise additional funds to support its daily operations by way of a public or private offering, among other factors. |
(iii) | Estimates and assumptions used in valuation of equity instruments: Management estimates expected term of share options and similar instruments, expected volatility of the Company’s common shares and the method used to estimate it, expected annual rate of quarterly dividends, and risk free rate(s) to value share options and similar instruments. |
These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported income or losses.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:
F-7 |
Level 1 | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. | |
Level 2 | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. | |
Level 3 | Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, interest receivable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
The Company’s convertible notes payable approximate the fair value of such instruments based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements at September 30, 2014.
Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures
The Company accounts for investments in common stock or in-substance common stock (or both common stock and in-substance common stock) of an investee of which the Company has significant influence (see paragraph 323-10-15-6) in the operating or financial policies even though the Company holds 50% or less of the common stock or in-substance common stock, in accordance with sub-topic 323-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Sub-topic 323-10”).
Method of Accounting
Investments held in stock of entities other than subsidiaries, namely corporate joint ventures and other non-controlled entities usually are accounted for by one of three methods (i) the fair value method (addressed in Topic 320), (ii) the equity method (addressed in Topic 323), or (iii) the cost method (addressed in Subtopic 325-20). Pursuant to paragraph 323-10-05-5 the equity method tends to be most appropriate if an investment enables the investor to influence the operating or financial policies of the investee.
The Ability to Exercise Significant Influence
Pursuant to paragraph 323-10-15-6 the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of an investee may be indicated in several ways, including but limited to the following: a. Representation on the board of directors, b. Participation in policy-making processes, c. Material intra-entity transactions, d. Interchange of managerial personnel, and e. Technological dependency. Pursuant to paragraph 323-10-15-8 an investment (direct or indirect) of 20 percent or more of the voting stock of an investee shall lead to a presumption that in the absence of predominant evidence to the contrary an investor has the ability to exercise significant influence over an investee. Conversely, an investment of less than 20 percent of the voting stock of an investee shall lead to a presumption that an investor does not have the ability to exercise significant influence unless such ability can be demonstrated.
F-8 |
Initial and Subsequent Measurement
Pursuant to Paragraph 323-10-30-2 an investor shall measure an investment in the common stock of an investee (including a joint venture) initially at cost in accordance with the guidance in Section 805-50-30. An investor shall initially measure, at fair value, a retained investment in the common stock of an investee (including a joint venture) in a deconsolidation transaction in accordance with paragraphs 810-10-40-3A through 40-5.
Pursuant to Section 323-10-35 under the equity method, an investor shall recognize its share of the earnings or losses of an investee in the periods for which they are reported by the investee in its financial statements rather than in the period in which an investee declares a dividend. An investor shall adjust the carrying amount of an investment for its share of the earnings or losses of the investee after the date of investment including adjustments similar to those made in preparing consolidated financial statements and shall report the recognized earnings or losses in income. An investor's share of losses of an investee may equal or exceed the carrying amount of an investment accounted for by the equity method plus advances made by the investor. An equity method investor shall continue to report losses up to the investor's investment carrying amount, including any additional financial support made or committed to by the investor and the investor ordinarily shall discontinue applying the equity method if the investment (and net advances) is reduced to zero and shall not provide for additional losses unless the investor has guaranteed obligations of the investee or is otherwise committed to provide further financial support for the investee. If the investee subsequently reports net income, the investor shall resume applying the equity method only after its share of that net income equals the share of net losses not recognized during the period the equity method was suspended. If a series of operating losses of an investee or other factors indicate that a decrease in value of the investment has occurred that is other than temporary the loss in value of an investment that is other than a temporary decline shall be recognized. Evidence of a loss in value might include, but would not necessarily be limited to, absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or inability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity that would justify the carrying amount of the investment. A current fair value of an investment that is less than its carrying amount may indicate a loss in value of the investment. However, a decline in the quoted market price below the carrying amount or the existence of operating losses alone is not necessarily indicative of a loss in value that is other than temporary.
Disclosure
Pursuant to paragraph 323-10-50-3 all of the following disclosures generally shall apply to the equity method of accounting for investments in common stock:
a. | Financial statements of an investor shall disclose all of the following parenthetically, in notes to financial statements, or in separate statements or schedules: (1) the name of each investee and percentage of ownership of common stock. (2) The accounting policies of the investor with respect to investments in common stock. Disclosure shall include the names of any significant investee entities in which the investor holds 20 percent or more of the voting stock, but the common stock is not accounted for on the equity method, together with the reasons why the equity method is not considered appropriate, and the names of any significant investee corporations in which the investor holds less than 20 percent of the voting stock and the common stock is accounted for on the equity method, together with the reasons why the equity method is considered appropriate. (3) The difference, if any, between the amount at which an investment is carried and the amount of underlying equity in net assets and the accounting treatment of the difference. |
b. | For those investments in common stock for which a quoted market price is available, the aggregate value of each identified investment based on the quoted market price usually shall be disclosed. |
c. | If investments in common stock of corporate joint ventures or other investments accounted for under the equity method are, in the aggregate, material in relation to the financial position or results of operations of an investor, it may be necessary for summarized information as to assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the investees to be presented in the notes or in separate statements, either individually or in groups, as appropriate. |
d. | Conversion of outstanding convertible securities, exercise of outstanding options and warrants, and other contingent issuances of an investee may have a significant effect on an investor's share of reported earnings or losses. Accordingly, material effects of possible conversions, exercises, or contingent issuances shall be disclosed in notes to financial statements of an investor. |
Related Parties
The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include a. affiliates of the Company; b. entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c. trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d. principal owners of the Company; e. management of the Company; f. other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g. other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
F-9 |
The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a. the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b. a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c. the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d. amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.
Commitment and Contingencies
The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time, that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
Income Tax Provision
The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 740-10-25”). Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.
The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.
F-10 |
Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In addition, the Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to its income tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the provisions of Section 740-10-25 for the reporting period ended September 30, 2014 or 2013.
Limitation on Utilization of NOLs due to Change in Control
Pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code Section 382 (“Section 382”), certain ownership changes may subject the NOL’s to annual limitations which could reduce or defer the NOL. Section 382 imposes limitations on a corporation’s ability to utilize NOLs if it experiences an “ownership change.” In general terms, an ownership change may result from transactions increasing the ownership of certain stockholders in the stock of a corporation by more than 50 percentage points over a three-year period. In the event of an ownership change, utilization of the NOLs would be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 determined by multiplying the value of its stock at the time of the ownership change by the applicable long-term tax-exempt rate. Any unused annual limitation may be carried over to later years. The imposition of this limitation on its ability to use the NOLs to offset future taxable income could cause the Company to pay U.S. federal income taxes earlier than if such limitation were not in effect and could cause such NOLs to expire unused, reducing or eliminating the benefit of such NOLs.
Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to Section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive outstanding shares of common stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent share arrangements, stock options and warrants.
The following table shows the potentially outstanding dilutive common shares excluded from the diluted net income (loss) per common share calculation as they were anti-dilutive:
Potentially Outstanding Dilutive Common Shares | ||||||||
For the Reporting Period Ended Sep 30, 2014 | For the Reporting Period Ended Sep 30, 2013 | |||||||
Convertible Notes Payable Shares and Related Warrant Shares | ||||||||
On December 9, 2013, the Company consummated the closing (the "Closing") of a private placement offering (the "Offering") of 231 units ("Units") for $10,000 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,310,000. No placement agents or brokers were utilized by the Company in connection with the Offering. Each Unit consists of: (i) a $10,000 face value 12% Series A Senior Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note of the Company (collectively, the "Notes") convertible into shares of Common Stock at $0.50 per share, and (ii) one detachable Common Stock Purchase Warrant (collectively, the "Warrants") to purchase 10,000 shares (the "Warrant Shares") of common stock of the Company (the "Common Stock") with an exercise price of $1.00 per share expiring five years from the date of issuance. | (i) 4,620,000 (ii) 2,310,000 | — | ||||||
Sub-total: convertible notes payable shares and related warrant shares | 6,930,000 | — | ||||||
Total potentially outstanding dilutive common shares | 6,930,000 | — |
Cash Flows Reporting
The Company adopted paragraph 230-10-45-24 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for cash flows reporting, classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category, and uses the indirect or reconciliation method (“Indirect method”) as defined by paragraph 230-10-45-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net income that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments. The Company reports the reporting currency equivalent of foreign currency cash flows, using the current exchange rate at the time of the cash flows and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash held in foreign currencies is reported as a separate item in the reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of cash and cash equivalents and separately provides information about investing and financing activities not resulting in cash receipts or payments in the period pursuant to paragraph 830-230-45-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.

Subsequent Events
The Company follows the guidance in Section 855-10-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will evaluate subsequent events through the date when the financial statements were issued. Pursuant to ASU 2010-09 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the Company as an SEC filer considers its financial statements issued when they are widely distributed to users, such as through filing them on EDGAR.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation.
The amendments in this Update remove the definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of the Accounting Standards Codification, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from U.S. GAAP. In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage.
The amendments also clarify that the guidance in Topic 275, Risks and Uncertainties, is applicable to entities that have not commenced planned principal operations.
Finally, the amendments remove paragraph 810-10-15-16. Paragraph 810-10-15-16 states that a development stage entity does not meet the condition in paragraph 810-10-15-14(a) to be a variable interest entity if (1) the entity can demonstrate that the equity invested in the legal entity is sufficient to permit it to finance the activities that it is currently engaged in and (2) the entity’s governing documents and contractual arrangements allow additional equity investments.
The amendments in this Update also eliminate an exception provided to development stage entities in Topic 810, Consolidation, for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity on the basis of the amount of investment equity that is at risk. The amendments to eliminate that exception simplify U.S. GAAP by reducing avoidable complexity in existing accounting literature and improve the relevance of information provided to financial statement users by requiring the application of the same consolidation guidance by all reporting entities. The elimination of the exception may change the consolidation analysis, consolidation decision, and disclosure requirements for a reporting entity that has an interest in an entity in the development stage.
The amendments related to the elimination of inception-to-date information and the other remaining disclosure requirements of Topic 915 should be applied retrospectively except for the clarification to Topic 275, which shall be applied prospectively. For public business entities, those amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein.
Early application of each of the amendments is permitted for any annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity’s financial statements have not yet been issued (public business entities) or made available for issuance (other entities). Upon adoption, entities will no longer present or disclose any information required by Topic 915.
In June 2014, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-12 “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) : Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period” (“ASU 2014-12”).
The amendments clarify the proper method of accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The Update requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered.
F-12 |
The amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 – Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As reflected in the financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit at September 30, 2014, a net loss and net cash used in operating activities for the reporting period then ended. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company is attempting to commence operations and generate sufficient revenue; however, the Company’s cash position may not be sufficient to support the Company’s daily operations. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to generate sufficient revenue and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenue and its ability to raise additional funds.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 4 – Investment
On June 10, 2014, the Company invested $375,000 (approximately 18.8%) into newly formed RS Bakken One, LLC (“RSB1”), an entity that acquired two properties in North Dakota, one near Williston and one in Watford City. These properties are located in the heart of the Bakken oil development and had a combined acquisition price of $5,700,000. Additionally the Company purchased an option for $25,000 that will allow it to acquire 100% of these two properties after one year for a purchase price of not less than $7,000,000 or more than $8,000,000.
Pursuant to paragraph 323-10-05-5 the equity method tends to be most appropriate if an investment enables the investor to influence the operating or financial policies of the investee. Although the Company owns less than 20 percent of the voting stock, COO/CFO of the Company is the Vice President of RSB1 and Chairman of the Company is the Manager of RSB1 which enables the Company to influence the operating or financial policies of RSB1. Thus, the Company accounts for its investment in RS using the equity method of accounting and reports such in the balance sheets as investment.
Investment consisted of the following:
September 30, 2014 | December 31, 2013 | |||||||
Initial investment | $ | 375,000 | $ | — | ||||
Add: equity share of RSB1 net income | 59,298 | — | ||||||

Note 5 – Convertible Notes
On December 9, 2013, the Company consummated the closing (the “Closing”) of a private placement offering (the “Offering”) of 231 units (“Units”) for $10,000 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,310,000. No placement agents or brokers were utilized by the Company in connection with the Offering. Each Unit consists of: (i) a $10,000 face value 12% Series A Senior Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note of the Company convertible into common shares at $0.50 per share (collectively, the “Notes”), and (ii) one detachable Common Stock Purchase Warrant (collectively, the “Warrants”), each to purchase 10,000 shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) with an exercise price of $1.00 per share expiring five years from the date of issuance. In connection with the Closing, the Company entered into definitive subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with twenty nine (29) accredited investors. The Notes accrue interest at 12% per year and have a maturity date of December 9, 2015. The Notes will be automatically converted into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the then applicable conversion price in the event that the 90-day trading volume weighted average price per share of the Common Stock exceeds $1.50 per share at any time during the term of the Notes.
F-13 |
The Company estimated the relative fair value of the warrants on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
December 9, 2013 | ||||
Expected life (year) | 5 | |||
Expected volatility (*) | 61.39 | % | ||
Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends | 0.00 | % | ||
Risk-free rate(s) | 1.54 | % |
* | As a thinly traded entity it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the expected volatility of its share price. The Company selected five (5) comparable public companies listed on NYSE MKT and NASDAQ Capital Market within real estate brokerage and management industry which the Company engages in to calculate the expected volatility. The Company calculated those five (5) comparable companies' historical volatility over the expected life of the options or warrants and averaged them as its expected volatility |
The estimated relative fair value of the warrants was deminimus at the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.

Purchase and Sale Agreement - RS Cambridge Apartments, LLC
Proceeds from the Offering were used to (i) acquire a $2.85 million face value subordinated mortgage note secured by the Cambridge Apartments in Gulfport, Mississippi (the “Property”) for approximately $1,073,000 (the “B Note”) and (ii) fund (in the amount of approximately $465,000) certain costs associated with a refinancing of the senior mortgage indebtedness encumbering the Property (which refinancing occurred concurrently with the Company’s acquisition of the B Note). The remaining proceeds from the Offering (in the amount of approximately $772,000) will be used for the general working capital of the Company. The Cambridge Property is owned by RS Cambridge Apartments, LLC (the “Property Owner”). Nathan Hanks and Michael Anderson, officers and directors of the Company, own 10% of the outstanding membership interests of the Property Owner.
Immediately upon the acquisition of the B Note, the Company converted the B Note into a right of first refusal and option (the “Option”) in the amount of approximately $1,538,000 (the “Option Payment”), which is the amount of funds from the Offering used to purchase the B Note and otherwise support the refinancing of the Property.
To memorialize the Option, on December 9, 2013, the Company entered into a Right of First Refusal and Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with the Property Owner. The Option affords the Company the right to acquire the Property within five (5) years after the Closing at the fair value of the Property as negotiated between the Company and the Property Owner. In addition, under the Option, if the Property Owner receives an offer to purchase the Property during the option period, the Company will have a right of first refusal to purchase the Property on the same terms as the offer. Should the Company elect not to match the offer, the Option Payment is required to be repaid upon the sale of the Property to the other buyer.
F-14 |
On March 12, 2014, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “PS Agreement”) with the Property Owner. The Option Payment was converted into a “Deposit” against the purchase of the property and shall continue to accrue interest at the rate of 12% per annum, from the date of the Option Agreement through the date of the purchase of the Property. The property will not be purchased prior to August 1, 2014. As of the date of this report, the Company has not exercised this option.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto in our Transition Report on Form 10-K for the three month period ended December 31, 2013.
This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth herein and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements.”
Corporate History and Recent Developments
We were incorporated pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada on March 20, 2002 under the name Integrated Brand Solutions Inc. and on February 6, 2006, changed our name to Upstream Biosciences Inc. From 2006 to December 2009, our company operated as a biotechnology company, and from 2010 until May 2013, our company had no operating business.
On May 24, 2013, our then majority stockholders sold their interests in our company (consisting of 10,778,081 shares of our common stock, representing approximately 90% of the issued and outstanding voting security of our company) to RealSource Acquisition Group, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“RSAG”), and Chesterfield Faring Ltd., a New York corporation in consideration of an aggregate of $175,000 in cash. RSAG is affiliated with The RealSource Group, a group of affiliated real estate brokerage and management companies based in Salt Lake City, Utah. On July 11, 2013, we changed our corporate name by merging with our newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary called RealSource Residential, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and we remained as the surviving corporation under the name “RealSource Residential, Inc.” The merger was effective on July 15, 2013 and was approved by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority on August 5, 2013.
Leveraging the experience of our management team and The RealSource Group, we plan to focus on acquiring, managing and holding primarily multi-family housing assets in anticipation of creating a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”). The process of acquiring such multi-family housing assets began during 2014. There are certain regulatory requirements that must be satisfied in order to acquire these assets and to operate as a REIT, including audited financial statements for the specific properties acquired, and no assurances can be given that we will be able to do so.
In June 2014, we invested $375,000 to acquire an approximately 19% interest in RS Bakken One, LLC, a newly-formed affiliated entity (see Part II, Item 5 below), which in turn acquired two properties in North Dakota, one near Williston and one in Watford City. These properties are located in the heart of the Bakken oil development and had a combined acquisition price of $5,700,000. Additionally we purchased an option for $25,000 that will allow us to acquire 100% of these two properties after one year for a purchase price of not less than $7,000,000 or more than $8,000,000. As of the date of this report, the option has not been exercised.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we acquired an option (which expires on December 9, 2018) to purchase one multi-family housing asset in Gulfport, Mississippi. On March 12, 2014, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement to acquire the property, which may be closed on during the period from August 1, 2014 through December 9, 2018. As of the date of this report, the option has not been exercised.
On October 24, 2014, we invested $100,000 to acquire an approximately 3.876% interest in a newly formed entity called RS Heron Walk Apartments, LLC (RSHWA), and affiliated entity (see Part II, Item 5 below) which in turn acquired the Heron Walk Apartments in Jacksonville, Florida. The Heron Walk apartments is a value-add opportunity, and our investment in RSHWA carries an 8% cumulative preferred return and with higher expected average cash-on-cash and internal rates of return.
We are not currently structured or operating as a REIT. We expect to form a REIT structure and operate as a REIT at such time as we control majority interests in real properties.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”). Our fiscal year ends December 31.
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discuss our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires making 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, as well as the reported revenues and expenses for the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate such estimates and judgments. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ (perhaps significantly) from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
1 |
While all the accounting policies impact the financial statements, certain policies may be viewed to be critical. Our management believes that the accounting policies which involve more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statement include warrants liability, capitalization of costs and useful lives of assets:
Results of Operations
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013:
Revenues
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded $59,298 in income from our equity investment in RS Bakken One, LLC. As an equity investment, we recorded our net share of income from this investment. There were no revenues for the comparable period in 2013.
Cost of Revenues
For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we did not incur any cost of revenues from operations.
Professional fees
Professional fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $45,839 compared to $9,250 for the same period in 2013. The professional fees are comprised primarily of legal and accounting fees. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we had limited activity that incurred professional costs.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative costs increased from $2,628 during the first nine months of 2013 to $10,442 for the same period of 2014 with the primary increase related to travel costs and filing fees.
Other income and expense
In the first nine months of 2014, we recorded $207,330 of interest expense on our outstanding 12% Senior Convertible Debentures and $141,611 in interest income on our option to purchase to purchase the Cambridge apartments. There were no such income and expense items for the same period in 2013. In connection with the May 2013 transaction in which RSAG acquired majority control of our company, a then existing shareholder who was one of the sellers in such transaction agreed to cancel and forgive all indebtedness due to that shareholder in the amount of $17, 823. In addition, this shareholder agreed to pay $14,256 of our outstanding accounts payable. The relief of these two obligations is recorded as forgiveness of debt during the first nine months of 2013.
Net loss
Net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 was $62,702 compared to net loss of $6,601 for the same period in 2013. The components of this net loss and reasons for the change are explained above.
Plan of Operations and Cash Requirements for the Next 12 Months
Anticipated Cash Requirements
Over the next 12 months, we have estimated our minimum cash requirements (not including the costs associated with our acquisition of properties) to be as follows:
Cash Operating Expenses | — | |||
Legal and accounting fees | $ | 68,000 | ||
General and administrative expenses | $ | 6,000 | ||
Corporate communications and SEC filing fees | $ | 10,000 | ||
Total | $ | 84,000 | ||
As our operations are currently minimal, our operating expenses are similarly limited. However, as we implement our business plan to acquire, manage and hold multifamily real estate assets, we will incur significant additional expenses related to these transactions (particularly the formation of a REIT structure and acquisitions and financings of the properties themselves) and thereafter the operations of the properties. While we expect that our acquired properties will generate sufficient cash flow to cover our operating costs related to our properties, no assurances can be given that this will in fact be the case.

At September 30, 2014, we had working capital of $218,664. For the next 12 months, we estimate minimum cash requirements of $84,000 to fund on-going operations before consideration of operating revenues and expenses related to any properties that may be acquired during the next 12 months or future investments in real estate.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our financial position as at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2014 and the changes for the nine months then ended are as follows:
Working Capital
As of September 30, 2014 | As of December 31, 2013 | |||||||
Current Assets | $ | 444,928 | $ | 735,488 | ||||
Current Liabilities | 226,264 | 30,627 | ||||||
Working Capital | $ | 218,664 | $ | 704,861 | ) |
As of September 30, 2014, we had $292,618 in cash and cash equivalents. Working capital decreased by $486,197 from December 31, 2013 to September 30, 2014. The decrease resulted primarily from cash used to purchase a membership interest in RS Bakken One, LLC of $375,000, an option to purchase the two Bakken properties owned by RS Bakken One, LLC in the amount of $25,000 and Company expenses.
Cash Flows
9 Months Ended September 30, 2014 | 9 Months Ended September 30, 2013 | |||||||
Net cash used in Operating Activities | $ | (8,304 | ) | $ | (21,476 | ) | ||
Net cash used in Investing Activities | (423,495 | ) | 0 | |||||
Net cash provided by Financing Activities | 200,000 | 22,000 | ||||||
Increase (Decrease) in Cash during the Period | (231,799 | ) | (524 | ) | ||||
Cash, Beginning of Period | 524,417 | 1,065 | ||||||
Cash, End of Period | $ | 292,618 | $ | 1.589 |
Net cash used in operating activities decreased by $13,172 from the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 to the same nine month period in 2014. The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased by $56,101 over the same period in the prior year. The change is explained above under the results of operations above.
In order to effectuate our business plan of acquiring multi-family properties and operating as a REIT, we will be required to raise substantial additional capital through a debt and/or equity financing both at the company level as well as on specific assets. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to consummate such financings on favorable terms or at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern”.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2014, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are a smaller reporting company and therefore are not required to provide the information for this item for Form 10-Q.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”), conducted evaluations of our disclosure controls and procedures. As defined under Sections 13a – 15(e) and 15d – 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). 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 the Certifying Officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Based on their evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that, as of September 30, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were not designed at a reasonable assurance level and were therefore ineffective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Certifying Officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The material weakness which relates to internal control over financial reporting that was identified at September 30, 2014 is that we did not have sufficient personnel staffing in our accounting and financial reporting department. As a result, we were not able to achieve adequate segregation of duties and were not able to provide for adequate review of the financial statements
This control deficiency could result in a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. However, our management believes that the material weakness identified does not result in the restatement of any previously reported financial statements or any other related financial disclosure, and management does not believe that the material weakness had any effect on the accuracy of our financial statements included as part of this Quarterly Report.
We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
Except as disclosed above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Readers are cautioned that our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our control have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any control design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
