ECO SCIENCE SOLUTIONS, INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 2015
NOTE 1: NATURE OF BUSINESS AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Eco Science Solutions, Inc., (the Company or ESSI) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of 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 that effect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended January 31, 2015. Notes to the financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements have been omitted.
The Company was incorporated in the state of Nevada on December 8, 2009 under the name Pristine Solutions, Inc. Headquartered in Miami, Florida, Eco Science Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation, is charged with the origination, development and commercialization of innovative aftermarket automotive parts. On February 14, 2014, the Company changed its name to Eco Science Solutions, Inc. (OTCQB.ESSI).
The Company acquired an exclusive license to a unique automotive product, the EcoFlora Spark Plug (the EcoFlora Plug), with a proprietary technology, that has the potential to be uniquely positioned in the automotive parts business in the United States and International automotive parts marketplace.
On October 7, 2014, the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued Patent #8,853,925 for the EcoFlora Plug, based on its "Internal Pre-Combustion Chamber High Efficiency Spark Plug" technology, and has patent pending applications both in Canada and worldwide.
The Company is currently in the testing stages, and intends to validate its technology and then and manufacture and sell the technology.
NOTE: The following notes and any further reference made to the Company, "we", "us", "our" and "ESSI" shall mean Eco Science Solutions, Inc., unless otherwise indicated.
Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated significant revenues to date and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. As at April 30, 2015, the Company had a working capital deficit from continuing operations of $293,854, and an accumulated deficit of $9,153,882. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company's future business. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods shown. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Companys financial statements. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles, generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements and related notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and are expressed in US dollars. The Companys fiscal year end is January 31.
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 Companys estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
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. As of April 30, 2015 and January 31, 2015, respectively, the Company had no cash equivalents.
Fair Value Measurements
Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and ASC 825, Financial Instruments, an entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 and 825 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instruments categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 and 825 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
6
Level 1 | Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
Level 2 | Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. |
Level 3 | Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
The Companys financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. Pursuant to ASC 820 and 825, the fair value of cash is determined based on Level 1 inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service has been provided, and collectability is reasonably assured. As of January 31, 2015, no revenue has been recognized, as the Company has not commenced operations.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Share-Based Payments, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earning per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. 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.
Comprehensive Loss
ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at January 31, 2015, the Company has no items that represent comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards:
The Company evaluates the pronouncements of various authoritative accounting organizations, primarily the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF), to determine the impact of new pronouncements on US GAAP and the impact on the Company. The Company has recently adopted the following new accounting standards:
Adopted:
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive (ASU 2013-02). This guidance is the culmination of the FASBs deliberation on reporting reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). The amendments in ASU 2013-02 do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income. However, the amendments require disclosure of amounts reclassified out of AOCI in its entirety, by component, on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes thereto. Amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income must be cross-referenced to other disclosures that provide additional detail. This standard is effective prospectively for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-07, Presentation of Financial Statements (Top 205): Liquidation Basis of Accounting. The objective of ASU No. 2013-07 is to clarify when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting and to provide principles for the measurement of assets and liabilities under the liquidation basis of accounting, as well as any required disclosures. The amendments in this standard is effective prospectively for entities that determine liquidation is imminent during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods therein. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When Net Operating Loss Carryforward Exists. The objective of ASU 2013-11 is to reduce diversity in practice by providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits, and will better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No, 2014-10, Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements for Development Stage Entities. The objective of ASU 2014-10 is to reduce the cost and complexity associated with the incremental reporting requirements for development stage entities. This Update removes all incremental financial reporting requirements, and eliminates an exception provided to development stage entities in Topic 810. The amendments in this standard are effective retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted.
7
Not Yet Adopted:
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08 Presentation of Financial Statements (Top 205): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosure of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The objective of ASU No. 2014-08 is to clarify the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and also modifies related disclosure requirements. The standard is required to be adopted by public business entities in annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for new disposals beginning in the first quarter of 2014, provided financial statements have not been issued before the release of this standard. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, adoption of ASU No. 2014-08 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No 2014-15 Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entitys Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The objective of ASU 2014-15 is to provide guidance in GAAP about managements responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entitys ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, adoption of ASU No. 2014-15 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-17 Business Combinations (Topic 805): Pushdown Accounting. The objective of ASU 2014-17 is to provide guidance on whether and at what threshold an acquired entity that is a business or nonprofit activity can apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements. The amendments in this Update are effective on November 18, 2014. After the effective date, an acquired entity can make an election to apply the guidance to future change-in-control events or to its most recent change-in-control event. However, if the financial statements for the period in which the most recent change-in-control event occurred already have been issued or made available to be issued, the application of this guidance would be a change in accounting principle. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, adoption of ASU No. 2014-17 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01 Income StatementExtraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. This Update eliminates from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively. A reporting entity also may apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The effective date is the same for both public business entities and all other entities. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, adoption of ASU No. 2015-01 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Updates:

None of the updates are expected to a have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
The Companys unaudited 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 the Companys financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report.
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect the Companys plans, estimates and beliefs. The Companys 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. All adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been made, and all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States Dollars and all references to common shares refer to the common shares in the Companys capital stock.
As used in this annual report, the terms "we", "us", "our" and "ESSI" mean Eco Science Solutions, Inc. unless otherwise indicated.
Overview
The Company was incorporated in the state of Nevada on December 8, 2009, under the name Pristine Solutions, Inc. The Companys wholly owned subsidiary, Pristine Solutions Limited, was incorporated under the laws of Jamaica. The Companys original business plan focused on developing a network of sales points for the sale and service of tankless water heaters in Jamaica, through Pristine Solutions Limited.
In October, 2013, the Companys Management was introduced to Domenic Marciano (Marciano). Marciano represented that he intended to acquire an exclusive license to a unique automotive product, the EcoFlora Spark Plug, with a proprietary technology, and that EcoFlora has the potential to be uniquely positioned in the automotive parts business in the United States and International automotive parts marketplace.
The Majority Shareholders acknowledge that the Company has not been able to attract investment capital sufficient to execute its business plan because of its Share price. Further, Management believes that the potential success of the EcoFlora technology could potentially provide value to the Company and its shareholders. As a result, on November 26, 2013, the Company and its Majority Shareholders (the Majority Stockholders) entered into an Agreement for the Purchase of Common Stock (the Stock Purchase Agreement) with Marciano whereby Marciano acquired 227,370,000 shares of the Companys common stock from the Majority Stockholders at par value $.0001, representing approximately 51.3% of the Companys total issued and outstanding shares, in exchange for cash in the amount of $22,737 (the Cash Proceeds). The Stock Purchase Agreement, and subsequent transaction closing, was completed on November 26, 2013, and a change in control of the Company took place.
The Majority Shareholders and the Companys Management also believe it is in the best interest of the Companys Shareholders to operate Eaton Scientific Systems, Ltd. (Eaton Sub) a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, as a privately held Company, until such time where it is sufficiently capitalized to increase the probability for its Clinical Trials of Homatropine (Tropine 3) in oral suspension for the treatment of hot flash symptoms in pre-menopausal, menopausal and post menopausal women, to be in a position to yield results that may provide the opportunity for a potential FDA approval for marketing to consumers in the US.
In connection with the terms and conditions of the Stock Purchase Agreement and sale of 227,370,000 shares held by the Majority Stockholders:
1.
Marciano appointed two new directors to the Companys board of directors; and
2.
The Lock-Up-Leak-Out Agreements executed in October 2012 were cancelled by mutual agreement between the Board and the Companys Shareholders who were party to the Agreements.
3.
The Majority Shareholders of the Company have voted to Spin-out to its Shareholders, one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Eaton Scientific Systems Ltd., its operating subsidiary, as of the record date of November 25, 2013, on a one-for-one basis within sixty-days (60) of the Change of Control of the Company, or by January 25, 2014.
On January 9, 2014, the Spin-out was complete, and Eaton Scientific Systems, Ltd. was no longer a subsidiary of the Company.
On February 14, 2014, the Company changed its name to Eco Science Solutions, Inc. (OTCQB.ESSI).
NOTE: The following notes and any further reference made to the Company, "we", "us", "our" and "ESSI" shall mean Eco Science Solutions, Inc., unless otherwise indicated.

Description of Business
Headquartered in Miami, Florida, Eco Science Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation, is charged with the origination, development and commercialization of innovative aftermarket automotive parts.
On December 4, 2013, the Company (the Company) executed an Agreement of the License of Intellectual Property (the License Agreement) dated November 4, 2013 with Eco Science Solutions International, Inc., a Canadian corporation (ESS International), for the exclusive license to a revolutionary Spark Plug technology, the EcoFlora Spark Plug, that has filed for Patent protection in Canada and the United States based on its "Internal Pre-Combustion Chamber High Efficiency Spark Plug" technology. In connection with the License Agreement, the Company issued ESS International 2,500,000 shares of the Companys Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (Preferred Stock), in exchange for the exclusive license of the Patent Applications, in perpetuity. The Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock at a conversion rate of 10 common shares for each preferred share.
On February 14, 2014, the Company effected a 1000-to-1 reverse stock split. As a result, the total shares of common stock issued and outstanding was adjusted to 443,001 shares with a par value of $0.10.
On April 4, 2014, the Company received notice from Eco Science Solutions International, Inc. to convert 100% of the Series A preferred shares into restricted common shares on a 10 for 1 basis. As a result, on April 9, 2014, 25,000,000 shares of the Companys restricted common stock was issued, of which 19,866,668 shares were issued to the Companys chairman, Domenic Marciano, and 5,133,332 shares were issued to non-related parties. Subsequent to the conversion, Eco Science Solutions International, Inc. no longer holds any shares of the Companys capital stock, and Mr. Marciano holds 20,094,038 shares of the Companys common stock, which represents 62.13% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Companys common stock on a fully diluted basis.
On October 7, 2014, the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued Patent #8,853,925 for the EcoFlora Plug, based on its "Internal Pre-Combustion Chamber High Efficiency Spark Plug" technology, and has patent pending applications both in Canada and worldwide.
The Company is currently in the testing stages, and intends to validate its technology and then and manufacture and sell the technology. At April 30, 2015, the Company has not yet commenced its principal operations.

General and administrative expenses from continuing operations in the amount of $24,217 for the three months ended April 30, 2014, were comprised of $9,557 of legal and accounting fees, $5,100 of management and consulting fees, $4,000 of research and development, and $5,560 of office, overhead and other general and administrative expenses.
General and administrative expenses from continuing operations for the three months ended April 30, 2015, were $14,029 as compared to $24,217 for the three months ended April 30, 2014, which resulted in an decrease in general and administrative expenses for the current period of $10,188.
Significant changes in general and administrative expenses from continuing operations for the three months ended April 30, 2015, compared to the three months ended April 30, 2014, resulting in a decrease of $10,188, were attributable to the following items:
·
a decrease in legal, accounting and audit fees of $3,555, due to a decrease in legal fees of $3,957 resulting from prior year corporate matters not incurred in the same period for the current year; and an increase in accounting fees of $402 for quarterly accounting and tax preparation fees not incurred in the prior year;
·
a decrease in management fees of $600 due to a reduction in executive compensation;
·
a decrease in research and development of $4,000 resulting from expenses incurred in the prior year not incurred in the same period for the current year;
·
a decrease in office supplies and other general expenses of $2,033 incurred in the prior year not incurred in the same period for the current year.
General and administrative expenses from continuing operations for the three months and three months ended April 30, 2015, were incurred primarily for the purpose of advancing the Company closer to its goal of the manufacturing and distribution of its high-efficiency spark plug product.

During the three months ended April 30, 2015, the Company used $13,390 of cash flow for operating activities, compared with $36,626 for the three months ended April 30, 2014. The decrease in cash used in operating activities of $23,236 is primarily attributable to a decrease in the net loss from operations of $228,594, a decrease in deferred stock compensation amortization of $220,000, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $13,617, and an increase in related party payable of $1,025.
Cash flows from investing activities-continuing operations
During the three months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company used no funds for investing activities.
Cash flows from financing activities-continuing operations
During the three months ended April 30, 2015, the Company was provided with $10,000 of cash flow from financing activities compared with $35,500 during the three months ended April 30, 2014. The decrease in cash flows provided from financing activities of $25,500 is attributable to a decrease in related party loans.
Future Financings
The Company will require additional financing in order to proceed with its plan of operations, including approximately $1,000,000 over the next 12 months to pay for its ongoing expenses. These cash requirements include working capital, general and administrative expenses, the development of the Companys product line, and the pursuit of acquisitions. These cash requirements are in excess of the Companys current cash and working capital resources. Accordingly, the Company will require additional financing in order to continue operations and to repay its liabilities. There is no assurance that any party will advance additional funds to the Company in order to enable the Company to sustain its plan of operations or to repay its liabilities. There can be no assurance that raising the desired amount of financing will enable the Company successfully to complete its plan of operations.
The Company anticipates continuing to rely on equity sales of its common stock in order to continue to fund its business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to the Companys existing stockholders. There is no assurance that the Company will achieve any additional sales of its equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund its planned business activities.
12
Contractual Obligations
As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations.
Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated significant revenues to date and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. As at April 30, 2015, the Company had a working capital deficit from continuing operations of $293,854, and an accumulated deficit of $9,153,882. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company's future business. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Companys financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of the Companys financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Companys consolidated unaudited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by managements application of accounting policies. The Company believes that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of the Companys financial statements is critical to an understanding of its consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and 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. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions, 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 Companys estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service has been provided, and collectability is reasonably assured. As of April 30, 2015, no revenue has been recognized, as the Company has not commenced operations.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Share-Based Payments, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards:
The Company evaluates the pronouncements of various authoritative accounting organizations, primarily the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF), to determine the impact of new pronouncements on US GAAP and the impact on the Company. The Company has recently adopted the following new accounting standards:
Adopted:
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive (ASU 2013-02). This guidance is the culmination of the FASBs deliberation on reporting reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). The amendments in ASU 2013-02 do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income. However, the amendments require disclosure of amounts reclassified out of AOCI in its entirety, by component, on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes thereto. Amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income must be cross-referenced to other disclosures that provide additional detail. This standard is effective prospectively for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-07, Presentation of Financial Statements (Top 205): Liquidation Basis of Accounting. The objective of ASU No. 2013-07 is to clarify when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting and to provide principles for the measurement of assets and liabilities under the liquidation basis of accounting, as well as any required disclosures. The amendments in this standard is effective prospectively for entities that determine liquidation is imminent during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods therein. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
13
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When Net Operating Loss Carryforward Exists. The objective of ASU 2013-11 is to reduce diversity in practice by providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits, and will better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No, 2014-10, Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements for Development Stage Entities. The objective of ASU 2014-10 is to reduce the cost and complexity associated with the incremental reporting requirements for development stage entities. This Update removes all incremental financial reporting requirements, and eliminates an exception provided to development stage entities in Topic 810. The amendments in this standard are effective retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted.
Not Yet Adopted:
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08 Presentation of Financial Statements (Top 205): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosure of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The objective of ASU No. 2014-08 is to clarify the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and also modifies related disclosure requirements. The standard is required to be adopted by public business entities in annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for new disposals beginning in the first quarter of 2014, provided financial statements have not been issued before the release of this standard. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, adoption of ASU No. 2014-08 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No 2014-15 Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entitys Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The objective of ASU 2014-15 is to provide guidance in GAAP about managements responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entitys ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, adoption of ASU No. 2014-15 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-17 Business Combinations (Topic 805): Pushdown Accounting. The objective of ASU 2014-17 is to provide guidance on whether and at what threshold an acquired entity that is a business or nonprofit activity can apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements. The amendments in this Update are effective on November 18, 2014. After the effective date, an acquired entity can make an election to apply the guidance to future change-in-control events or to its most recent change-in-control event. However, if the financial statements for the period in which the most recent change-in-control event occurred already have been issued or made available to be issued, the application of this guidance would be a change in accounting principle. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, adoption of ASU No. 2014-17 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01 Income StatementExtraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. This Update eliminates from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively. A reporting entity also may apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The effective date is the same for both public business entities and all other entities. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, adoption of ASU No. 2015-01 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Updates:
There were various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries. None of the updates are expected to a have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Managements Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Companys reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including the Companys president, chief executive officer and chief financial officer to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the Companys disclosure controls and procedures, the Companys management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and the Companys management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. 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.

Based on the foregoing, the Companys president, chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
