1.        Nature of Business and Continuance of Operations

Pristine Solutions Inc., (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 8, 2009.  The Company’s principal business is the sale and distribution of electric instant water heaters in Jamaica. 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing and the attainment of profitable operations.  As of April 30, 2012, the Company has incurred losses totaling $88,052 since inception, and has not yet generated any revenue from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

If the Company can secure additional financing and the Company’s operations and cash flows improve, management believes that the Company will be able to continue to operate. However, no assurance can be given that management's actions will result in profitable operations or an improvement in the Company’s liquidity. The uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern will cease when the Company’s revenues have reached a level able to sustain the Company’s business operations.

2.        Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

a)       Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and are expressed in US dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is January 31.

b)      Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pristine Solutions Inc. and its 100% owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

c)       Interim financial statements

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's January 31, 2012 report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year end January 31, 2012 as reported on Form 10-K, have been omitted

d)      Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to long-lived assets and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

e)       Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

2.             Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

f)       Receivables 

The Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts receivable.  Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $Nil at April 30, 2012, and January 31, 2012.

g)      Inventory 

Inventories, consisting of electric water heaters, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a standard cost basis that approximates the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Market is determined based on net realizable value. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration, and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. As of April 30, 2012 and January 31, 2012, an allowance of $Nil and $Nil was recognized to mark the Company’s inventory to the lower of cost or market.

h)      Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consists of a vehicle which is recorded at cost. The vehicle is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over 6 years.

i)        Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, loans payable and related party payables. The Company believes that the recorded values of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.

The Company’s operations are in the United States and Jamaica, which results in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

j)        Revenue Recognition

Sales are recorded when products are shipped to customers. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. No provision for discounts or rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances or other adjustments were recognized during the periods ended April 30, 2012 and January 31, 2012. In instances where products are configured to customer requirements, revenue is recorded upon the successful completion of the Company’s final test procedures and the customer’s acceptance. No revenues were deferred due to products being configured to customer requirements during the periods ended April 30, 2012 and January 31, 2012.

k)      Product Warranty

The Company provides a one year warranty on all products sold. The Company’s policy is to accrue a warranty liability equal to 2% of sales based on the manufacturer’s past experience. Spare parts equal to 1% of each order are provided to the Company free of charge from the manufacturer. During the three months ended April 30, 2012, the Company recognized $Nil (January 31, 2012 - $11) of warranty expenses in accrued liabilities and cost of goods sold. The Company did not have any warranty claims during the periods ended April 30, 2012 and January 31, 2012. The Company will continue to evaluate its warranty policy based on actual products returned and costs incurred.

The Company’s warranty accrual is based on the Company’s best estimates of product failure rates and unit costs to repair. However, the Company plans to release new products. As a result, it is at least reasonably possible that products could be released with certain unknown quality and/or design problems. Such an occurrence could result in materially higher than expected warranty and related costs, which could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

l)        Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. At April 30, 2012, the Company had no potentially dilutive securities outstanding.

2.       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

m)     Foreign Currency Translation

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Jamaican dollars. The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. The United States dollar is the functional and reporting currency.

n)      Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized. At April 30, 2012 the deferred tax asset related to the Company’s net operating loss carry forward has been fully reserved and no benefit has been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

o)      Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on their financial position or results of operations.

 

3.        Related Party Transactions

a)        Office services and office space are provided without charge by the sole officer and director of the Company. Such costs are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements and accordingly, have not been reflected therein.

b)       As of April 30, 2012, the Company owes the sole director of the Company $6,413 (January 31, 2012 - $2,316) for expenditures paid on behalf of the Company.  The amount owed is unsecured, non-interest bearing, and has no specified repayment terms. The amount is accrued as a related party payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

4.        Loans payable

a)        As of April 30, 2012, the Company owes an unrelated third party $10,122 (January 31, 2012 - $9,972) for a note payable dated December 21, 2010. The note payable is unsecured, non-interest bearing, and has no specified repayment terms.

b)       As of April 30, 2012, the Company is indebted to an unrelated third party for $27,840 (January 31, 2012 - $19,503).  This loan is non-interest bearing, and is due on demand.

5.        Common Stock

On February 27, 2012, the Company authorized an increase to the authorized number of shares of common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 650,000,000 shares and decrease the authorized preferred stock from 100,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations  

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS   

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms, or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this quarterly report.

Unless otherwise specified in this quarterly report, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars and all references to “common stock” refer to shares of our common stock.

As used in this quarterly report, the terms “we”, “us”, “our” and “our company” mean Pristine Solutions Inc., and our subsidiary Pristine Solutions Limited, a Jamaica corporation, unless otherwise indicated.

Corporate Overview  

We were incorporated on December 8, 2009 under the laws of the State of Nevada. We have a wholly-owned subsidiary, Pristine Solutions Limited, incorporated under the laws of Jamaica. Our principal executive offices are located at Stettin Albert Town, Trelawny, Jamaica. Our telephone number is (876) 572-4681. Our fiscal year end is January 31.

On February 27, 2012, our company authorized an increase to the authorized number of shares of common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 650,000,000 shares and a decrease to the authorized preferred stock from 100,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares. Our company also effected a 6-for-1 forward stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock on February 27, 2012.  

Our Current Business  

We are a startup, development stage company. We have only recently begun operations and we have relied upon the sale of our securities and proceeds from debt to fund those operations as we have only generated limited revenues from the sale of our products. We intend on developing a network of sales points for the sale and service of tankless water heaters in Jamaica. We aim to be the first tankless water heater company specializing in tankless-only products to enter the Jamaican market and the only company in the Jamaican market offering solar powered tankless water heater products. Currently, the Company is having trouble raising capital for its tankless water heaters business and is looking at opportunities in other sectors where there is more interest to raise capital.

On December 30, 2009, we entered into a distribution agreement with the manufacturer of the tankless hot water heaters which we hope to sell in Jamaica: Zhongshan Guangsheng Industry Co., Ltd., of China. Zhongshan currently manufactures the tankless hot water heaters under the brand Gleamous Electric Appliances. Zhongshan is part of an international enterprise that also owns an R&D group, factory, and sales group and is looking to expand into other markets. Our management hopes that we can expand the Gleamous brand into the Jamaican market and the rest of the Caribbean. Pursuant to the terms of this agreement, we acquired 52 units of Zhongshan’s various Gleamous tankless water heaters of which we were required to purchase 50 within the first 6 months of the agreement. As consideration, we were granted the exclusive license to distribute the products within Jamaica. The term of the agreement was 1 year and may be terminated by either party with 30 days written notice.   

On March 18, 2011 we entered into a new license agreement with Zhongshan for an additional six months. According to the terms of the agreement, our company will purchase no less than 150 products within six months from the date of the agreement. As of April 30, 2012, 172 units of water heaters were ordered, of which 52 units were received by our Company. Full payment has been made on all of the units.  

Employees  

As of April 27, 2012, we had no employees other than our sole director and officer who contributes approximately 50% of her time to our company.  

We currently engage independent contractors in the areas of accounting and legal services. We plan to engage independent contractors in the areas of marketing, bookkeeping, investment banking and other services including at least 3 part time consultants who will each focus on sales and marketing, business development and investor relations.

Purchase of Significant Equipment  

We anticipate spending approximately $60,000 on the purchase of tankless water heaters under our distribution agreement with Zhongshan during the next 12 months. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, after confirmation of the order, our company shall pay a 30% deposit prior to production in favor of Zhongshan within the time stipulated in the relevant sales confirmation with 70% balance paid against delivery notice before the delivery of the order.

Personnel Plan  

Other than as stated above, we do not anticipate any significant changes in the number of employees during the next 12 months. However, if we are successful with obtaining any purchase orders from our targeted wholesalers and distributors, then we will hire part time employees to act as after sales and service representatives of our company, and we will also hire additional full-time commission oriented sales representatives to obtain additional purchase orders for our company. The numbers of employees to be hired are uncertain and will depend on the success and size of the initial purchase order.

Plan of Operation  

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this filing. Our unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

Anticipated Cash Requirements  

We estimate that our expenses over the next 12 months will be approximately $470,000 as described in the table below. These estimates may change significantly depending on the nature of our future business activities and our ability to raise capital from shareholders or other sources.

We intend to meet our cash requirements for the next 12 months through a combination of debt financing and equity financing by way of private placements. We currently do not have any arrangements in place to complete any private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any such financings on terms that will be acceptable to us.

If we are not able to raise the full $470,000 to implement our business plan as anticipated, we will scale our business development in line with available capital. Our primary priority will be to retain our reporting status with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which means that we will first ensure that we have sufficient capital to cover our legal and accounting expenses. Once these costs are accounted for, in accordance with how much financing we are able to secure, we will focus on product acquisition, testing and servicing costs, as well as marketing and advertising of our products. We will likely not expend funds on the remainder of our planned activities unless we have the required capital.

If we are able to raise the required funds to fully implement our business plan, we plan to implement the business plan in the order provided below. If we are not able to raise all required funds, we will prioritize our corporate activities as chronologically laid out below because the activity which needs to be undertaken in the initial months is prerequisite for future operations. We anticipate that the implementation of our business will occur as follows:

February 2012 to January 2013

·         Website has been designed and once our company invests in more inventory, it will design and have a shopping cart added to it for online sales;

·         Market products to large retailers and distributors;

·         Testing of the units have been successful, and additional purchase orders have been placed from Zhongshan, the manufacturer;

·         Review opportunities for establishment of retail locations;

·         Attend trade shows;

·         Market products to hotels, resorts, and real estate developers;

·         Hire personnel to market and service our products;

·         Purchase additional assets, such as additional delivery vehicles, that can be used to service and market different regions;

·         Raise additional capital for inventory and marketing.

Results of Operations

Three months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011.

Revenue

We had revenues of $Nil in the three months ended April 30, 2012 compared with $1,197 revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2011. There were some sample units that we repossessed due to non-payment by the vendors.   Revenues decreased for the three month period ended April 30, 2012 as a result of lack of sales.

Operating Expenses

We had operating expenses of $10,090 in the three months ended April 30, 2012 compared with $11,462 for the three months ended April 30, 2011. Operating expenses decreased for the three-month period due to decreased general and administrative expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working Capital   

Our net cash used by operating activities for the three months ended April 30, 2012 was $4,386 compared to $10,049 for the three months ended April 30, 2011.

Our net cash used by investing activities for the three months ended April 30, 2012 was $Nil compared to $Nil for the three months ended April 30, 2011.

Our net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended April 30, 2012 was $8,487 compared to $12,875 for the three months ended April 30, 2011.   The cash provided from financing activities in 2012 is the result of proceeds from a note payable.

Our management believes that we will need additional funding in order to meet our operating expenses.

Future Financings  

We intend to meet our cash requirements for the next 12 months through a combination of debt financing and equity financing by way of private placements. We currently do not have any arrangements in place to complete any private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any such financings on terms that will be acceptable to us.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount 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. Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to long-lived assets and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. Our company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by our company may differ materially and adversely from our company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Inventory

Inventories, consisting of electric water heaters, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a standard cost basis that approximates the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Market is determined based on net realizable value. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration, and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. As of April 30, 2012 and January 31, 2012, an allowance of $Nil and $Nil was recognized to mark our company’s inventory to the lower of cost or market.

Financial Instruments

 

Our company’s operations are in the United States and Jamaica, which results in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The financial risk is the risk to our company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, our company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

Revenue Recognition

Sales are recorded when products are shipped to customers. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. No provision for discounts or rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances or other adjustments were recognized during the periods ended April 30, 2012 and January 31, 2012. In instances where products are configured to customer requirements, revenue is recorded upon the successful completion of our company’s final test procedures and the customer’s acceptance. No revenues were deferred due to products being configured to customer requirements during the periods ended April 30, 2012 and January 31, 2012.

Product Warranty

Our company provides a one year warranty on all products sold. Our company’s policy is to accrue a warranty liability equal to 2% of sales based on the manufacturer’s past experience. Spare parts equal to 1% of each order are provided to our company free of charge from the manufacturer. During the three months ended April 30, 2012, our company recognized $Nil (January 31, 2012 - $11) of warranty expenses in accrued liabilities and cost of goods sold. Our company did not have any warranty claims during the periods ended April 30, 2012 and January 31, 2012. Our company will continue to evaluate its warranty policy based on actual products returned and costs incurred.

Our company’s warranty accrual is based on our company’s best estimates of product failure rates and unit costs to repair. However, our company plans to release new products. As a result, it is at least reasonably possible that products could be released with certain unknown quality and/or design problems. Such an occurrence could result in materially higher than expected warranty and related costs, which could have a materially adverse effect on our company’s results of operations and financial condition.

Foreign Currency Translation

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Jamaican dollars. Our company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. The United States dollar is the functional and reporting currency.
