Item 1. Business
Company Overview
Prime Estates and Developments, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 21, 2009 for the purpose of acquiring and operating commercial real estate and real estate related assets. On November 14, 2013, we changed our name to Cosmos Holdings Inc.
On September 27, 2013, Prime Estates and Developments, Inc. closed a reverse take-over transaction by which it acquired a private company whose principal activities are the trading of products, providing representation, and provision of consulting services to various sectors as described below. Pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement between the Registrant and Amplerissimo Ltd, a company incorporated in Cyprus and Dimitrios Goulielmos, sole shareholder of Amplerissimo, we acquired 100% of Amplerissimo’s issued and outstanding common stock.
As a result of the reverse take-over transaction, Dimitrios Goulielmos, sole shareholder of Amplerissimo, became our controlling shareholder and Amplerissimo became our wholly-owned subsidiary, and we acquired the business and operations of Amplerissimo.
Our principal office is located at 141 W. Jackson Blvd, Suite 4236, Chicago, Illinois 60604 Telephone: 312.674.4529.
We intend in the near future to establish a website at the following address: www.cosmosholdingsinc.com. We have filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 10-K information that will appear on the website that is not included in the main body of this Form 10-K and has not been previously disclosed in any other filing with the SEC.
We are currently focusing our existing operations on expanding the business of our new subsidiary, Amperlissimo, and have transitioned to becoming a holding company. In that connection, the Company is currently actively looking for potential acquisition candidates in various industries including but not limited to pharmaceutical industry and related pharmaceutical logistics companies that fill prescriptions,cargo shipping industry, green and Hi-Tech technologies food industry, and insurance industry. We have identified and had discussions with several potential candidates. Although we have held discussions with several potential acquisition candidates, at this time we have no binding agreement, commitment or obligation to acquire any other company. Currently, Amperlissimo’s principal activities are the trading of products, providing representation, and provision of consulting services to various sectors as described in “Business.” In the interim, we plan on continuing to offer the same products and services through Amperlissimo which include: data mining, statistical data analysis, research and analysis, negotiating services, credit risk analysis, credit management, conducting case studies, introduction services, e-commerce consulting, marketing management consulting, expansion strategies consulting, information systems consulting, and business management software consulting. We also intend to add additional services to the ones that we currently offer, including systems integration, accredited partnership services, and installation and resale of third parties systems and software. We intend to accomplish this by new cooperative agreements or acquisition of other existing companies. However, at this time we have no binding agreement, commitment or obligation for any such ventures.
Amplerissimo Services
Amplerissimo’s principal activities are the trading of products, providing representation, and provision of consulting services to various sectors as described below.

Amplerissimo provides its customers with various types of services under a Master Service Agreement, meaning the Agreement with the Customer lists a menu of services we provide and the customer picks the service it wants. These services include: data mining, statistical data analysis, research and analysis, negotiating services, credit risk analysis, credit management, conducting case studies, introduction services, e-commerce consulting, marketing management consulting, expansion strategies consulting, information systems consulting, and business management software consulting. The customer then submits a purchase order for a particular service on the menu. We agree with the customer on pricing and payment terms and we commence to provide the service to our customer. The price of the service varies with the type of service requested, the length of time for which the services is requested or will be required and the degree of difficulty in providing the services.
Amplerissimo does not deal directly with the end user or the ultimate recipient of the service provided. We rely on our customers to find clients that need the services we provide. When our customers find clients that need our services they will outsource the services to us to perform. We provide these services in three different capacities: we will either administer the service on our own; we will subcontract different aspects of the service and complete the remainder of the service ourselves; or we will outsource the entire project to a vendor. When we perform a service to the client of our customer, our customer will verify that the service has been provided in full and we in turn will bill our customer. Our payment is not dependent on whether or not our customer can collect from his client. When we bill our customer they are required to pay us under the terms outlined in our master services agreement. In the event we outsourced the work to one of our vendors, after we confirm with our customer that the service has been received we are required to pay our vendors regardless of whether or not our customer will pay us.
In general, our clients are not obligated to pay us until we have completed each project in full and we offer our clients up to six months to pay our invoice in full.
The menu of services that we provide in the Master Service Agreement is in the following areas
·
|
Marketing management and expansion strategies - The scope of our marketing management and expansion strategies consulting service is to conduct research on specific marketing methods such as bulk SMS (short messaging services) and automated telemarketing, analyze directories with different demographics in different regions, screen different directory providers, and determine the optimal marketing approach for a specific product or service.

We also assist in implementing new systems or integrating new software packages that can work with current information systems and produce real time data required by management to make decisions. In some instances we will have to provide bridging services that will allow us to extract data located on older systems and transfer them to the new systems we integrate.

Currently Amplerissimo has two clients and has two agreements that generally outline the services, time frames, pricing, payment, and other terms that the company has the ability to provide them. Currently, neither client has an outstanding request for services. One agreement is for a term of 10 years commencing January 13, 2013. The other is for a term of 10 years commencing May 15, 2013. Both agreements are terminable by either party without penalty on six months’ notice. Nothing obligates our customers to purchase any services from us during the term of the agreements. These agreements are filed as exhibits to the Form 8-K/A on November 14, 2013, and you should refer to these agreements for a full explanation of the terms and conditions of each agreement.
These two customers provided all of our revenue at December 31, 2013 as follows:

[1] The dollar amount is based upon an exchange rate of $1.32 per Euro.
We purchased the services that accounted for more than 10% of our aggregate expenses as of December 31, 2013 that were delivered to these two customers from the one third-party supplier, Around All Limited. We incurred an aggregate of €419,800 or approximately $557,494 in expenses to Around All in our fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, of which $0 had been paid and €419,800 or approximately $557,494 were not due to be paid and thus not paid at December 31, 2013. As of the date of the filing of this report, we have paid off this entire amount of €419,800 or approximately $557,494.
The arrangement we have with our supplier is for them to provide services on an as needed basis to our clients. In general, after we confirm with our customer that the service has been received we are required to pay our vendors regardless of whether or not our customer will pay us.
Competition
We face significant competition delivering data mining, statistical data analysis, research and analysis, negotiating services, credit risk analysis, credit management, conducting case studies, introduction services, e-commerce consulting, marketing management consulting, expansion strategies consulting, information systems consulting, and business management software consulting services.
Some of our competitors have greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do and some are better known than we are. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against these organizations. As a result these competitors may:
-
|
Succeed in providing services that are equal to or superior to our services or that achieve greater market acceptance than our service;
|
-
|
Devote greater resources to developing, marketing or selling their services;
|
-
|
Respond more quickly to new or emerging information or service technologies, which could render our services less preferable;
|
-
|
Withstand competition in the industry more effectively than we can.
|
-
|
Establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties that enhance their ability to address the needs of our customers or prospective customers; and
|
-
|
Take advantage of other opportunities more readily than we can.
|
5
Since there are no substantial barriers to entry into the markets in which we participate, we expect that additional competitors will continue to enter these markets.
We will compete based upon our flexibility to customize our services and products to our client’s specific needs utilizing our knowledge of a large number service provides and what we believe is our ability to provide services at faster and more efficiently than our competitors with the same quality of service and finished products as our competitors. We also believe that these characteristics enable us to provide our services at lower cost than our competitors.
Intellectual Property
At present, we do not have any patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises, concessions, and royalty agreements, labor contracts or other proprietary interests.
Employees
We have one employee, our US Finance Manager. We currently have no formal written or informal unwritten agreement with our US Finance Manager. In addition, our president, Mr. Goulielmos, also provides services to us but is under no employment or similar contract. This is because our President, does not wish for the time being, to get a salary and bring any financial burdens to our Company.

We do not have any subsidiaries other than Amperlissimo.

Penny Stock
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.
8
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock should our stock ever be traded on a public market. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our securities.
Holders of Our Common Stock
As of December 31, 2013, we had 125,585,532 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, held by approximately 58 persons, not including those shares held in street names.
Dividends
We have not paid any cash dividends to date and does not anticipate or contemplate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. It is the present intention of management to utilize all available funds for the development of our business.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC.

Overview
Prime Estates and Developments, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 21, 2009 for the purpose of acquiring and operating commercial real estate and real estate related assets. On November 14, 2013, we changed our name to Cosmos Holdings Inc.
On September 27, 2013, Prime Estates and Developments, Inc. closed a reverse take-over transaction by which it acquired a private company whose principal activities are the trading of products, providing representation, and provision of consulting services to various sectors as described below. Pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement between the Registrant and Amplerissimo Ltd, a company incorporated in Cyprus and Dimitrios Goulielmos, sole shareholder of Amplerissimo, we acquired 100% of Amplerissimo’s issued and outstanding common stock.
We are currently focusing our existing operations on expanding the business of our new subsidiary, Amperlissimo, and have transitioned to becoming a holding company. In that connection, the Company is currently actively looking for potential acquisition candidates in various industries including but not limited to pharmaceutical industry and related pharmaceutical logistics companies that fill prescriptions, cargo shipping industry, green and Hi-Tech technologies, food industry, and insurance industry. We have identified and had discussions with several potential candidates. Although we have held discussions with several potential acquisition candidates, at this time we have no binding agreement, commitment or obligation to acquire any other company. Currently, Amperlissimo’s principal activities are the trading of products, providing representation, and provision of consulting services to various sectors as described in “Business.” In the interim, we plan on continuing to offer the same products and services through Amperlissimo which include: data mining, statistical data analysis, research and analysis, negotiating services, credit risk analysis, credit management, conducting case studies, introduction services, e-commerce consulting, marketing management consulting, expansion strategies consulting, information systems consulting, and business management software consulting. We also intend to add additional services to the ones that we currently offer, including systems integration, accredited partnership services, and installation and resale of third parties systems and software. We intend to accomplish this by new cooperative agreements or acquisition of other existing companies. However, at this time we have no binding agreement, commitment or obligation for any such ventures.
Results of Operations
Year ended December 31, 2013 versus 2012
We had only de minimus costs during year ended December 31, 2012. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the company had expenses of $455 and $0 in revenue. Since then, the Company has undertaken several engagements in our operating subsidiary in Cyprus, Amplerissimo. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we had revenues of $902,369. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, we had direct costs of $557,494 associated with our projects, and general and administrative costs of $56,163, for a net operating income of $288,712. We had interest expense of $2,439, all of which is related.
Additionally, we had unrealized foreign currency losses of $12,573 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 such that our net comprehensive income for the period was $259,165.

Plan of Operation in the Next Twelve Months
Specifically, our plan of operations for the next 12 months is as follows:
We plan on continuing to offer the same products and services through Amperlissimo which include: data mining, statistical data analysis, research and analysis, negotiating services, credit risk analysis, credit management, conducting case studies, introduction services, e-commerce consulting, marketing management consulting, expansion strategies consulting, information systems consulting, and business management software consulting. We also intend to add additional services to the ones that we currently offer, including systems integration, accredited partnership services, and installation and resale of third parties systems and software. We intend to accomplish this by new cooperative agreements or acquisition of other existing companies. We anticipate that we will spend approximately $15,000 to evaluate the different methods of adding services. This cost is made of up primarily legal, planning and structuring, and accounting due diligence. We currently have no binding agreements, commitments or contracts for new cooperative agreements or acquisition of other existing companies.
In addition to adding services we also plan to evaluate offering our services to different geographical markets. We currently have focused our services to our customers throughout Europe. We plan on expanding our geographical reach to: United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Malta, Lebanon, Algeria, and Saudi Arabia. Some of the methods we will use to accomplish this are: marketing our services through the internet to new geographic areas, creating strategic relationships with companies in the new geographical regions, and possibly acquiring companies that operate in different geographical regions. We anticipate that we will spend $15,000 evaluating the different methods and regions we plan on expanding too. This cost is made of up primarily legal, planning and structuring, and accounting due diligence. We currently have no binding agreements, commitments or contracts in any different geographical markets including United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Malta, Lebanon, Algeria, and Saudi Arabia.
As to potential acquisitions, SEC filing requirement are such that we will have to file audited financial statements of all our operations, including any acquired business. So we plan that our first step in any potential acquisition process we undertake is to ascertain whether we can obtain audited financials of a company if we were to acquire them. We anticipate that we will spend approximately $30,000 to locate, conduct due diligence, and evaluate possible acquisitions. As noted above, as of the date of this report, we do not have any binding agreements, commitments, or understandings with any potential acquisition candidates.
We plan to continue our efforts to collect our accounts receivables from our customers. As of April 9, 2014, our accounts receivable were €5,177,947 or approximately $6,876,300.We anticipate but can make no assurances that the current cash of approximately $970,000 as of April 9, 2014 will satisfy our cash requirements only until the end of December 2014.All our costs, which we anticipate that we will incur in the next 12 months irrespective of business development activities, including costs associated with meeting SEC requirements for staying public, are estimated to be less than $300,000 annually as follows: Legal fees $70,000, Accounting and Auditing $150,000, SEC filing costs $4,000, Transfer Agent $3,600, Bank expenses $2,400, Office expenses $18,000, Salaries $26,000 and other expenses up to $26,000.
These expenses are anticipated to be funded from cash generated from the operations of the company, from debt or equity financing, or from a loan from management, to the extent that funds are available to do so. Management is not obligated to provide these or any other funds. If we fail to meet these requirements, we may lose the qualification for quotation and our securities would no longer trade on the over the counter markets. Further, as a consequence we would fail to satisfy our SEC reporting obligations, and investors would then own stock in a company that does not provide the disclosure available in quarterly and annual reports filed with the SEC and investors may have increased difficulty in selling their stock as we will be non-reporting.
Significant Equipment
We do not intend to purchase any significant equipment for the next twelve months.
Employees
We do not have plans to change the number of our employees during the next twelve months.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2013, we had $864,489 of cash and a working capital deficit of $53,684.
We anticipate using cash in our bank account as of December 31, 2013 and anticipated cash flows generated in the current fiscal year to conduct our business in the upcoming year. The consulting expenses and other services in the amount of $557,494 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, represent the costs associated with providing our customers with services in the manner described above. We expect to have collected from our customers enough funds in order to be able to pay the total amounts owed to our consultants/suppliers who provide services to the end users to which our customers had contracted to provide services. As of December 31, 2013 we had received from our clients for unpaid invoices € 680,000 or about $907,000. We believe that the funds that we have collected until the day of the filing of this report will be sufficient to allow us to pay off the $557,494 of accounts payable, accrued expenses, and taxes payable that we incurred as of December 31, 2013. As of the date of the filing of this report, we have paid off this entire amount of $557,494, which are the expenses associated with providing our customers with services in the manner described above.
We have salaries payable, resulting from accrued but unpaid compensation, due to Messrs. Mavrogiannis and Drakopoulos in the amounts totaling $76,592 and $110,000 respectively. We also have $165,000 liability resulting from costs accrued by an agreement with Green Era Ltd. in which our previous CEO and director Mr. Panagiotis Drakopoulos is a shareholder in.
Until the day of this filing we have issued invoices to our clients for the total amount of €6,427,947 or $8,464,963. Through December 30, 2013, we collected €680,000 in collections on those invoices, or about $902,000.
It is important to note that none of the amounts billed that have not been collected are accounted for as revenue on the financial statements included with this Form 10-K. The reason for this is US GAAP, under which we are required to prepare our financial statements, provides that we have reasonable assurance of collectability before recording our amounts billed as accounts receivable and subsequently revenue. At the present time we do not have reasonable assurance that we will in fact collect such amounts, given our limited history with these customers, and as such under GAAP we are not recognizing the amounts as revenue.
For the year ended December 31, 2013, we had revenues of $902,369.
We plan to continue our efforts to collect our accounts receivables from our customers. As of April 9, 2014, our accounts receivable were €5,177,947 or approximately $6,876,300. We believe that the current cash of approximately $970,000 as of April 9, 2014 will satisfy our cash requirements until the end of December 2014. All our costs, which we anticipate that we will incur in the next 12 months irrespective of business development activities, including costs associated with meeting SEC requirements for staying public, are estimated to be less than $300,000 annually.
If we do not collect the remainder of these receivables and do not generate future cash flow or raise additional funds from debt or equity financing, we may have to cease operations and investors could lose their entire investment. We have no agreement to secure additional debt or equity funds and management is under no obligation to provide us additional funding if needed. We currently do not have any loan arrangements in place with management to fund our planned operations.
Revenue Recognition
We consider revenue recognizable when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, goods or services have been delivered, and collectability is reasonably assured. These criteria are assumed to have been met if a customer orders an item, the goods or services have been shipped or delivered to the customer, and we have sufficient evidence of collectability, such a payment history with the customer. Revenue that is billed and received in advance such as recurring weekly or monthly services are initially deferred and recognized as revenue over the period the services are provided.
12
Our records with our two customers to date have not been sufficient to satisfy all of the four requirements. The company has successfully worked with its customers to obtain the necessary documents to satisfy the first three criteria for all transactions including: price to our customer being fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists between us and our customer, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered. However because the customers that we provide services to are relatively new we have not met the collection criteria for transactions we have not yet collected cash on. Totals billed for which revenue recognition has yet to be realized totaled $7,912,624 (€5,747,947).The reason for this is US GAAP, under which we are required to prepare our financial statements, provides that we have reasonable assurance of collectability before recording our amounts billed as accounts receivable and subsequently revenue. At the present time we do not have reasonable assurance and we choose not to recognize the billed amounts as revenues.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2013, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, negative working capital at December 31, 2013.
These conditions raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
Management plans to finance our continuing operations by selling common stock, issuance of debt, or undertaking profitable operations in the future, or some combination thereof.
Critical Accounting Policies
In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Foreign Currency. The Company requires translation of the Amplerissimo financial statements from euros to dollars since the reverse take-over on September 27, 2013. Assets and liabilities of all foreign operations are translated at year-end rates of exchange, and the statements of operations are translated at the average rates of exchange for the year. Gains or losses resulting from translating foreign currency financial statements are accumulated in a separate component of stockholders’ equity until the entity is sold or substantially liquidated. Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions (transactions denominated in a currency other than the entity’s local currency) are included in net (loss) earnings.
Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes under the accounting rules related to income taxes (“Codification Topic 740”). Under these rules, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. 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 income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company is liable for income taxes in the Republic of Cyprus. The standard income tax rate In Cyprus is 12.5% and tax losses are carried forward indefinitely subject to certain rules regarding change of ownership of a company. Therefore, we have calculated potential benefits of income tax losses, subject to the restrictions below.
13
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes” as of its inception. Pursuant to ASC 740, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in this financial statement because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.
The Company has net operating loss carry-forwards in our parent, Prime Estates and Developments, Inc. which are applicable to future taxable income in the United States (if any). Additionally, the Company has income tax liabilities in the Republic of Cyprus. The income tax assets and liabilities are not able to be netted. We therefore reserve the income tax assets applicable to the United States, but recognize the income tax liabilities in the Republic of Cyprus.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, to improve the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. Other comprehensive income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period. Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments in the ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information that this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under U.S. GAAP. The new amendments will require an organization to:
·
|
Present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income - but only if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period; and
|
·
|
Cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP for other reclassification items (that are not required under U.S. GAAP) to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is initially transferred to a balance sheet account (e.g., inventory for pension-related amounts) instead of directly to income or expense.
|
The amendments apply to all public and private companies that report items of other comprehensive income. Public companies are required to comply with these amendments for all reporting periods (interim and annual). The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, for public companies. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-02 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 201311, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry-forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry-forward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) . As a result of applying this ASU, an unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss (NOL) or other tax credit carry-forward when settlement in this manner is available under the tax law. The assessment of whether settlement is available under the tax law would be based on facts and circumstances as of the balance sheet reporting date and would not consider future events (e.g., upcoming expiration of related NOL carry-forwards). This classification should not affect an entity’s analysis of the realization of its deferred tax assets. Gross presentation in the rollforward of unrecognized tax positions in the notes to the financial statements would still be required. However, since the Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limits the amount of net operating loss carry-forwards that can be utilized upon a change in control, we have eliminated the deferred tax asset and related valuation allowance. Therefore, the adoption of ASU 2013 11 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
Cosmos Holdings, Inc.
Chicago, IL
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cosmos Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”)as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Cosmos Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company suffered net losses and has a working capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

COSMOS HOLDINGS, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2013 and 2012
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Cosmos Holdings, Inc. (“Cosmos”, “The Company”, “we”, or “us”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 21, 2009 for the purpose of acquiring and operating commercial real estate and real estate related assets.
On September 27, 2013 (the “Closing”), Cosmos Holdings, Inc. a Nevada corporation (“Cosmos Holdings, Inc.” or the “Registrant”), closed a reverse take-over transaction by which it acquired a private company whose principal activities are the trading of products, providing representation, and provision of consulting services to various sectors as described below. Pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) between the Registrant and Amplerissimo Ltd, a company incorporated in Cyprus (“Amplerissimo”), and Dimitrios Goulielmos, sole shareholder of Amplerissimo, the Registrant acquired 100% of Amplerissimo’s issued and outstanding common stock.
For a complete description of the transaction, see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Consolidation
Our consolidated accounts include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Amplerissimo, Ltd. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Reverse Merger and Recapitalization
As stated above and in Note 3 the consolidated financial statements, on September 27, 2013, the Company entered into a reverse take-over by which it acquired a private company, Amplerissimo, Ltd., (“Amplerissimo”), a Company formed in the Republic of Cyprus. The Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of Amplerissimo resulting in a change of control of the Company and a recapitalization.
In accounting for the transaction and the preparation of subsequent consolidated financial statements, we followed guidance found in ASC 805-40, Business Consolidations: Reverse Mergers and SEC Practice Interpretations 10: Accounting Topics and the SEC: Application of Reverse Purchase Accounting (Reverse Acquisitions). Under this guidance, we accounted for the acquisition as a recapitalization under which no goodwill or other intangible assets are recorded.
In the preparation of consolidated financial statements subsequent to the transaction, the consolidated financial statements represent the continuation of the financial statements of the legal subsidiary (Amplerissimo) except for its capital structure. Therefore, the transaction has the following effects on these consolidated financial statements:
·
|
The operating history of the legal acquirer (Cosmos) is removed as of the date of the transaction. Accumulated deficits of Cosmos during its development stage are removed and netted with Additional Paid in Capital. Operating histories, including accumulated deficits and current earnings or losses reflect those of Amplerissimo.
|
·
|
Historical equity transactions are those of Amplerissimo, except that the number of shares outstanding is changed from those of Amplerissimo to that of Cosmos using an exchange ratio equal to the ratio of the number of shares issued by Cosmos in the transaction (100,000,000) to the number of shares acquired from Amplerissimo (5,000). That ratio is 20,000:1. All references to quantities of shares in this and subsequent reports are modified to reflect this change.
|
F-6
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were no cash equivalents.
The Company maintains bank accounts in the United States denominated in U.S. Dollars and in the Republic of Cyprus, denominated in Euros. At December 31, 2013, the amounts in these accounts were $4,213 and $860,276 (the Euro equivalent of which was €623,872).
Revenue Recognition
We consider revenue recognizable when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, goods or services have been delivered, and collectability is reasonably assured. These criteria are assumed to have been met if a customer orders an item, the goods or services have been shipped or delivered to the customer, and we have sufficient evidence of collectability, such a payment history with the customer. Revenue that is billed and received in advance such as recurring weekly or monthly services are initially deferred and recognized as revenue over the period the services are provided.
Our records with our two customers to date have not been sufficient to satisfy all of the four requirements. The company has successfully worked with its customers to obtain the necessary documents to satisfy the first three criteria for all transactions. However because the customers that we provide services to are relatively new we have not met the collection criteria for transactions we have not yet collected cash on. Furthermore, the company is establishing protocols whereby future transactions will include all documents necessary to recognize revenue at the time we complete our obligations to our customers. Totals billed for which revenue recognition has yet to be realized totaled $7,912,624 (€5,747,947).
Amplerissimo plans to provide its customers with various types of services under a Master Service Agreement, meaning the Agreement with the Customer lists a menu of services we provide and the customer picks the service it wants. These services will include: data mining, statistical data analysis, research and analysis, negotiating services, credit risk analysis, credit management, conducting case studies, introduction services, e-commerce consulting, marketing management consulting, expansion strategies consulting, information systems consulting, and business management software consulting. The customer will then submit a purchase order for a particular service on the menu. We will agree with the customer on pricing and payment terms and we commence to provide the service to our customer. The price of the service will vary with the type of service requested, the length of time for which the service is requested or will be required and the degree of difficulty in providing the services. Some of the services will be provided directly by our President and some will be provided by third-parties which our President locates and sub contracts to provide the services.
F-7
Amplerissimo does not deal directly with the end user or the ultimate recipient of the service provided. We rely on our customers to find clients that need the services we provide. When our customers find clients that need our services they will outsource the services to us to perform. We provide these services in three different capacities: we will either administer the service on our own; we will subcontract different aspects of the service and complete the remainder of the service ourselves; or we will outsource the entire project to a vendor. When we perform a service to the client of our customer, our customer will verify that the service has been provided in full and we in turn will bill our customer. Our payment is not dependent on whether or not our customer can collect from his client. When we bill our customer they are required to pay us under the terms outlined in our master services agreement. In the event we outsourced the work to one of our vendors, after we confirm with our customer that the service has been received we are required to pay our vendors regardless of whether or not our customer will pay us.
Foreign Currency Translations and Transactions
Assets and liabilities of all foreign operations are translated at year-end rates of exchange, and the statements of operations are translated at the average rates of exchange for the year. Gains or losses resulting from translating foreign currency financial statements are accumulated in a separate component of stockholders’ equity until the entity is sold or substantially liquidated.
Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions (transactions denominated in a currency other than the entity’s local currency) are included in net (loss) earnings.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash investments and accounts receivable.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the accounting rules related to income taxes (“Codification Topic 740”). Under these rules, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. 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 income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company is liable for income taxes in the Republic of Cyprus. The standard income tax rate In Cyprus is 12.5% and tax losses are carried forward indefinitely subject to certain rules regarding change of ownership of a company. Therefore, we have calculated potential benefits of income tax losses, subject to the restrictions below.
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes” as of its inception. Pursuant to ASC 740, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in this consolidated financial statement because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.
F-8
The Company has net operating loss carry-forwards in our parent, Prime Estates and Developments, Inc. which are applicable to future taxable income in the United States (if any). Additionally, the Company has income tax liabilities in the Republic of Cyprus. The income tax assets and liabilities are not able to be netted. We therefore reserve the income tax assets applicable to the United States, but recognize the income tax liabilities in the Republic of Cyprus.
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
Basic and diluted net loss per share calculations are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. The per share amounts include the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents in years with net income. Basic and diluted loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2012 is the same due to the anti-dilutive nature of potential common stock equivalents.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, to improve the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. Other comprehensive income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period. Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments in the ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information that this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under U.S. GAAP. The new amendments will require an organization to:
·
|
Present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income - but only if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period; and
|
·
|
Cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP for other reclassification items (that are not required under U.S. GAAP) to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is initially transferred to a balance sheet account (e.g., inventory for pension-related amounts) instead of directly to income or expense.
|
The amendments apply to all public and private companies that report items of other comprehensive income. Public companies are required to comply with these amendments for all reporting periods (interim and annual). The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, for public companies. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-02 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013 11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry-forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry-forward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) . As a result of applying this ASU, an unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss (NOL) or other tax credit carry-forward when settlement in this manner is available under the tax law. The assessment of whether settlement is available under the tax law would be based on facts and circumstances as of the balance sheet reporting date and would not consider future events (e.g., upcoming expiration of related NOL carry-forwards). This classification should not affect an entity’s analysis of the realization of its deferred tax assets. Gross presentation in the rollforward of unrecognized tax positions in the notes to the financial statements would still be required. However, since the Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limits the amount of net operating loss carry-forwards that can be utilized upon a change in control, we have eliminated the deferred tax asset and related valuation allowance. Therefore, the adoption of ASU 2013 11 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

No options, warrants or other potentially dilutive securities other than those disclosed above have been issued as of December 31, 2013.
NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the applicable U.S. statutory federal income tax rate (35%) to pre-tax income (loss) as a result of the following differences:

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of tax benefits or expense on the temporary differences between the tax basis and financial statement basis of its assets and liabilities as well as tax loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Prior to the acquisition of Amplerissimo (see Note 3), the Company had net operating losses in the United States which, although offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of profitable operations in the future, were able to be applied to future taxable income (if any). However, the Internal Revenue Code Section 382 limits the amount of net operating loss carry-forwards that can be utilized upon a change in control. We have therefore eliminated the deferred tax asset and related valuation allowance.
Our wholly-owned Cyprian subsidiary, Amplerissimo, Ltd. has taxable income in Cyprus, where the income tax rate is 12.5%. Deferred tax assets and valuation allowances at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are as follows:

At December 31, 2013, the Company had net operating loss forwards of approximately $32,810 that may be offset against future taxable income through 2033. No tax benefit has been reported in the December 31, 2013 or 2012 consolidated financial statements due to the uncertainty surrounding the realizability of the benefit. The potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
The Company applied the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold to all tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, which resulted in no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2013.
F-11
The Company has elected to classify interest and penalties that would accrue according to the provisions of relevant tax law as interest and other expense, respectively.
The Company’s tax years since inception through 2013 remain open to examination by most taxing authorities.
NOTE 6 – AGREEMENT WITH GREEN ERA LTD. - COMMITMENTS
On February 17, 2011, we entered into an agreement with GreenEra, Ltd., a company formed under the laws of the Cyprus Republic, to acquire the rights of exploitation of a 60,000 hectares (approximately 150,000 acres) of forest land in Novo Aripuana, State of Amazones, Brazil. The property can be developed and we believe can produce carbon credits that when sold could produce profits. Any profits that will be gained from the development or the sale of the carbon credits will be shared 50-50 between COSM and the owner of the forest land. The parties agree that:
·
|
Cosmos will pay GreenEra $5,000 per month for approximately 34 years beginning in April 1, 2011. Cosmos has the right to cancel the agreement. Upon such cancellation, no future obligation to GreenEra would exist.
|
·
|
Cosmos will obtain financing sufficient to pay for all costs associated with obtaining the carbon credits, but not to exceed $1.2 million.
|
·
|
GreenEra will be the developer responsible for performing all actions necessary to obtain the credits.
|
GreenEra acquired the exclusive rights to develop and to obtain these carbon credits when it contracted with the landowner on December 28, 2009. Therefore, Cosmos Holdings Inc. has inherited the rights and obligations of that agreement which stipulates, in part:
·
|
The landowner has the right to veto sales of any credits under $2.00.
|
·
|
If GreenEra is unable to receive a carbon credit certification by December 31, 2013, or cannot sell, convey, assign, lend or sublet, carbon credits or any other rights or products the contract is voided.
|
As of December 31 2013 GreenEra has not been successful in receiving carbon credit certification or sold, conveyed, assigned, lent or sublet, carbon credits or their rights. Therefore, our agreement with GreenEra is voided and Cosmos has no obligation to GreenEra.
Our Principal Executive Officer, Mr. Panagiotis Drakopoulos, is also a 50.1% shareholder but not a director or officer of GreenEra Ltd.
From inception of the agreement through December 31, 2013, we have accrued $165,000 of costs associated with this agreement and have paid none.
NOTE 7 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On the date of our inception, we issued 20 million shares of our common stock to our three officers and directors which were recorded at no value (offsetting increases and decreases in Common Stock and Additional Paid in Capital).
At December 31, 2013, we owed $165,000 to GreenEra, Ltd., a company in which our Chief Executive Officer and Director, Mr. Panagiotis Drakopoulos is a shareholders (see Note 6).
F-12
At December 31, 2013, our Chairman and Principal Executive Officer, Mr. Panagiotis Drakopoulos, is owed $110,000 in unpaid salaries.
Additionally, we owe $76,592 to Mr. Mavrogiannis, our Chief Financial Officer.
During February and May, 2013, a beneficial owner and former officer and director of the Company was involved in the purchase and sale of 725,000 shares of our common stock within a period of less than six months which is in violation of Section 16b of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The profit on these shares was $15,408. Section 16b of the Exchange Act prohibits such beneficial owners from profiting on the sale of the securities. Upon notification, the beneficial owner agreed to repay the profits in the form of a reduction in liabilities the Company owed to him. We therefore reduced $12,000 of related-party advances owed to him to zero and reduced unpaid salaries due to him for the difference, or $3,408. We increased Additional Paid in Capital for the entire $15,408.
We believe that all related party transactions were on terms at least as favorable as we would have secured in arm’s-length transactions with third parties. Except as set forth above, we have not entered into any material transactions with any director, executive officer, and promoter, beneficial owner of five percent or more of our common stock, or family members of such persons.
NOTE 8 – LEASES
The Company conducts its operations from facilities located in Chicago, Illinois for which we paid approximately $307 per month through November, 2013. In December, 2013 we moved our operations to another location in Chicago Illinois. Beginning in February 2014, we will be paying approximately $709 for our office. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $1,906 and $2,741, respectively.
NOTE 9 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company, decreased with respect to net income or increased with respect to net loss by dividends declared on preferred stock by using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. The dilutive effect of incremental common shares potentially issuable underoutstanding options, warrants and restricted shares is included in diluted earnings per share in 2013 utilizing the treasury stock method.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued and noted that there were none.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Securities Exchange Act reports 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 the Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer/Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Principal Executive Officer/Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. This rule defines internal control over financial reporting as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
●
|
Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions;
|
●
|
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
|
●
|
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
|
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
With the participation of the Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2013, as the result of a material weakness. The material weakness results from significant deficiencies in internal control that collectively constitute a material weakness.
A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the registrant’s financial reporting. We had the following significant deficiencies at December 31, 2013:
·
|
The Company has a lack of proper segregation of duties
|
·
|
The Company’s internal control structure lacks multiple levels of review and oversight
|
15
Remediation of Deficiencies and Material Weaknesses
We are unable to remedy the all material weaknesses present in our internal controls until we are able to hire additional employees, so that we may then introduce checks and balances on internal controls.
We have put systems in place to deal with the revenue recognition deficiencies which include: having persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists in the form of a signed agreement, the price is fixed and determinable by having a purchase order signed by our customer and the company , written confirmation that goods or services have been delivered. The collectability aspect of revenue recognition will be met when we establish a collection history with our customers.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting are or will be capable of preventing or detecting all errors or all fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements, due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns may occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To the best of our knowledge based solely on a review of Forms 3, 4, and 5 (and any amendments thereof) received by us during or with respect to the year ended December 31, 2013, the no persons have failed to file, on a timely basis, the identified reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, except as follows:

During February and May, 2013, Mr. Vasileios Mavrogiannis a beneficial owner and former officer and director of the Company was involved in the purchase and sale of 725,000 shares of our common stock within a period of less than six months which is in violation of Section 16b of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The profit on these shares was $15,408. Section 16b of the Exchange Act prohibits such beneficial owners from profiting on the sale of the securities. Upon notification, the beneficial owner agreed to repay the profits in the form of a reduction in liabilities the Company owes to him. We therefore reduced $12,000 of related-party advances owed to him to zero and reduced unpaid salaries due to him for the difference, or $3,408. We increased Additional Paid in Capital for the entire $15,408.
Code of Ethics
As of December 31, 2013, we had not adopted a Code of Ethics for Financial Executives, which would include our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.

[1] Mr. Goulielmos is the owner of Jaron Trading Limited a company that holds 400,000 common shares. Therefore Mr. Goulielmos, in addition to the 100,016,000 common share that he personally owns, he controls the 400,000-share voting block that belongs to Jaron Trading Limited. Attributing these shares to Mr. Goulielmos gives him a voting block of 100,416,000 shares, or 80.0% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company at December 31, 2013.
[2] Mr. Drakopoulos and Mr. Mavrogiannis are officers and directors of Dynamic Investments, Ltd, a company that holds 2,441,894 common shares. Therefore they control the 2,441,894-share voting block that belongs to Dynamic Investments, Ltd. Attributing these shares to Mr. Drakopoulos gives him a voting block of 8,758,561 shares, or 7.0% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company at December 31, 2013.
[3] Mr. Drakopoulos and Mr. Mavrogiannis are officers and directors of Dynamic Investments, Ltd, a company that holds 2,441,894 common shares. Therefore they control the 2,441,894-share voting block that belongs to Dynamic Investments, Ltd. Attributing these shares to Mr. Mavrogiannis gives him a voting block of 8,758,560shares, or 7.0% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company at December 31, 2013.
Percentages are based on 125,585,532 shares outstanding at December 31, 2013.
Other than the shareholders listed above, we know of no other person who is the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of our common stock.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
On the date of our inception, we issued 20 million shares of our common stock to our then three officers and directors which were recorded at no value (offsetting increases and decreases in Common Stock and Additional Paid in Capital).
At December 31, 2013, we owed $165,000 to Green Era, Ltd., a company in which our former Chief Executive Officer and Director, Mr. Panagiotis Drakopoulos is a shareholders (see Note 6).
At December 31, 2013, our Chairman and Principal Executive Officer, Mr. Panagiotis Drakopoulos, is owed $110,000 in unpaid salaries.
Additionally, we owe $76,592 to Mr. Mavrogiannis, our Chief Financial Officer.
During February and May, 2013, Vasileios Mavrogiannis, a beneficial owner and former officer and director of the Company, was involved in the purchase and sale of 725,000 shares of our common stock within a period of less than six months which is in violation of Section 16b of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The profit on these shares was $15,408. Section 16b of the Exchange Act prohibits such beneficial owners from profiting on the sale of the securities. Upon notification, the beneficial owner agreed to repay the profits in the form of a reduction in liabilities the Company owed to him. We therefore reduced $12,000 of related-party advances owed to him to zero and reduced unpaid salaries due to him for the difference, or $3,408. We increased Additional Paid in Capital for the entire $15,408.
We believe that all related party transactions were on terms at least as favorable as we would have secured in arm’s-length transactions with third parties. Except as set forth above, we have not entered into any material transactions with any director, executive officer, and promoter, beneficial owner of five percent or more of our common stock, or family members of such persons.
Director Independence
Our board of directors has determined that we do not have a board member that qualifies as “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined by Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules.
Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services

As defined by the SEC, (i) “audit fees” are fees for professional services rendered by our principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of financial statements included in our Form 10-K, or for services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years; (ii) “audit-related fees” are fees for assurance and related services by our principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under “audit fees;” (iii) “tax fees” are fees for professional services rendered by our principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning; and (iv) “all other fees” are fees for products and services provided by our principal accountant, other than the services reported under “audit fees,” “audit-related fees,” and “tax fees.”
Under applicable SEC rules, the Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditors in order to ensure that they do not impair the auditors’ independence. The SEC’s rules specify the types of non-audit services that an independent auditor may not provide to its audit client and establish the Audit Committee’s responsibility for administration of the engagement of the independent auditors. Until such time as we have an Audit Committee in place, the Board of Directors will pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditors.
Consistent with the SEC’s rules, the Audit Committee Charter requires that the Audit Committee review and pre-approve all audit services and permitted non-audit services provided by the independent auditors to us or any of our subsidiaries. The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to a member of the Audit Committee and if it does, the decisions of that member must be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.
