Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization and Line of Business
Mojo Ventures Inc., formerly known as Mojo Shopping Inc., (hereinafter referred to as “MOJO” or the “Company”), was incorporated in the State of Delaware on August 2, 2007.
On May 13, 2011, MOJO, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Specialty Beverage and Supplement, Inc., a privately held Nevada corporation (“SBSI”) and SBSI Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Acquisition Sub”), pursuant to which SBSI merged with and into Acquisition Sub (the “Merger”) with the filing of the Articles of Merger with the Nevada Secretary of State on May 13, 2011 and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, an aggregate of 19,552,128 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued at the closing to the holders of SBSI’s common stock in exchange for their shares of SBSI.
On May 13, 2011, simultaneously with the consummation of the Merger, the Company issued 7,462,848 shares of common stock to retire certain debt in SBSI held by the holders of 9% subordinated convertible debentures. These noteholders contributed financing to SBSI and agreed to convert their debt in SBSI into the Company’s common stock.
On May 13, 2011, simultaneously with the consummation of the Merger, in a separate transaction, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with its former Chief Executive Officer and sole director, Ivona Janieszewski. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company transferred all of its membership interests in Mojo Shopping, LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary (the “LLC”), to Ms. Janieszewski in exchange for the assumption of account payables that the Company owed to third party creditors in the amount of approximately $200,000, the cancellation of 80,000,000 of Ms. Janiezewski’s shares of the Company’s common stock, and the cancellation of indebtedness owed by the Company to Ms. Janieszewski in the amount of $2,759. Also, simultaneously with the consummation of the Merger, two minority shareholders cancelled an aggregate of 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
The Company through its wholly owned subsidiary, SBSI, currently is engaged in the development of beverage products and vitamin supplements, such as energy drinks, sports drinks, wellness beverages, ready to drink (“RTD”) iced teas and vitamin enhanced kids drinks. SBSI is also developing vitamin and supplement lines for the sports, fitness and health industries and has developed a patent pending liquid/powder dispensing cap technology (“DCT”) for the beverage and pharmaceutical industries. Additionally, SBSI is involved in full service brand development and has an in-house formulator and graphics department. Graphic Gorilla LLC (“Graphic Gorilla”), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, is the Company’s in-house graphics department which is responsible for brand development, corporate identity and design and packaging for all of the products the Company is developing.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)
Organization and Line of Business (continued)
Graphic Gorilla also markets its services to third parties. SBSI acquired Graphic Gorilla in March 2011 and issued 1,000,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding equity of Graphic Gorilla.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Specialty Beverage and Supplement Inc., and Graphic Gorilla LLC. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions were eliminated in consolidation.
The Merger is being accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization. SBSI is the acquirer for accounting purposes and the Company is the issuer. Accordingly, SBSI’s historical financial statements for periods prior to the acquisition become those of the acquirer retroactively restated for the equivalent number of shares received in the Merger. The accumulated deficit of SBSI is carried forward after the acquisition. Operations prior to the Merger are those of SBSI. Earnings per share for the period prior to the Merger are restated to reflect the equivalent number of shares outstanding.
The consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s 2010 audited financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K and SBSI’s 2010 audited financial statements included in the Company’s Form 8-K. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2011.
As a result of the acquisition of SBSI through a reverse merger transaction, the board of directors approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year end from September 30 to December 31.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which amends the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires disclosure of transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and
8
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements –(continued)
the timing of the transfers and information on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of the assets and liabilities measured under Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy. The guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for Level 3 reconciliation disclosures which are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted these amendments in the first quarter of 2010 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the disclosures of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09 “Subsequent Events - Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements” (“ASU 2010-09”), which amends FASB ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events, so that SEC filers no longer are required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. ASU No. 2010-09 was effective immediately and the Company adopted these new requirements in the first quarter of 2010. The adoption did not have a material impact on the disclosures of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance removes the presentation options in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 220, Comprehensive Income, and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) in other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 will be effective for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. There are currently no other accounting standards that have been issued that will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows upon adoption.
Use of Estimates
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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include investment instruments, CD’s and time deposits purchased with a maturity of three months or less.
9
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED)
Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
Restricted cash and cash equivalents are not available for immediate use. Such cash cannot be used by the Company until a certain point or event in the future and includes items like fixed or time deposits pledged as collateral.
Property, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements
Property and equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Routine maintenance, repairs and replacement costs are expensed as incurred and improvements that extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized. Additions and major replacements or improvements are capitalized, while minor replacements and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in operations. Leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Rent expense for operating leases with rent-free periods or scheduled increases are accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease term, including the related rent-free period.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
Advertising Costs
The Company’s policy is to expense advertising when incurred.
Research and Development
The Company’s policy is to expense all research and development costs when incurred.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED)
Net Loss Per Common Share
The Company computes per share amounts in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC Topic 260 requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing the income (loss) available to Common Stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock and Common Stock equivalents outstanding during the periods.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. The Company recognizes deferred income taxes, net of valuation allowances, for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their tax basis and net operating loss carryforwards. 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.
Management evaluates the realizability of deferred tax assets on a regular basis for each taxable jurisdiction. In making this assessment, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, in making this assessment.
If the Company determines that it expects to realize deferred tax assets in excess of the recorded net amounts, a reduction in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance would decrease income tax expense in the period such determination is made. Alternatively, if the Company determines that it no longer expects to realize a portion of its net deferred tax assets, an increase in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance would increase income tax expense in the period such determination is made.
The Company assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon its evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, the Company has recorded the largest amount of tax benefit that may potentially be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where it is not more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized in the financial statements. See Note 4 – Income Taxes.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED)
Stock-Based Compensation
ASC Topic 718, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based compensation plans, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights.
ASC Topic 718 requires employee compensation expense to be recorded using the fair value method. This standard was effective as of the first interim or annual fiscal period that began after December 15, 2005. The Company accounts for employee stock based compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, and has since its adoption. For non-employee options and warrants, the company uses the fair value method as prescribed in ASC Topic 718, and has done so since inception.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes sales revenue upon shipment of goods to customers, net of discounts, and the Company's estimate of returns, allowances, and co-op advertising.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method for all inventories.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the date of the consolidated balance sheet through August 12, 2011, the date the financial statements were issued. During this period, no material recognizable subsequent events were identified.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principle, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $7,003,730 as of June 30, 2011. The Company currently has limited liquidity, and has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN (CONTINUED)
Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund operating expenses. The Company intends to position itself so that it may be able to raise additional funds through the capital markets. In light of management’s efforts, there are no assurances that the Company will be successful in this or any of its endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern.
NOTE 4 – INCOME TAX
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will to be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts which would be provided by applying the statutory combined federal and state income tax rate of 46% to the net loss before provision for income taxes for the following reasons:

At June 30, 2011, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $ 945,983 that may be offset against future taxable income through 2030. No tax benefit has been reported in the June 30, 2011 financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY
Related Party Notes Payable

The Company also effectuated a forward stock split in which each shareholder was issued 25 shares of common stock in exchange for one share of each common stock share held by them. The forward split was declared effective by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) on May 9, 2011. Immediately prior to the stock split 4,520,000 shares of the Company’s common stock was issued and outstanding. Upon the effectiveness of the stock split there were 113,000,000 shares issued and outstanding before giving effect to the stock issuances in the Merger and the cancellation of 88,000,000 shares by Ms. Janieszewski and two minority shareholders. Following these transactions, there were 52,014,976 shares outstanding. The Company also established a stock option plan and issued 6,847,872 shares of common stock to its employees, directors and consultants.
NOTE 10 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based award programs, including grants of stock options and warrants, is recorded in accordance with "Compensation—Stock Compensation", Topic 718 of the FASB ASC. Stock-based compensation expense, which is calculated net of estimated forfeitures, is computed using the grant date fair-value method on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for all stock awards that vest during the period. The grant date fair value for stock options is calculated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Determining the fair value of options at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating the expected term that stock options will be outstanding prior to exercise, the associated volatility and the expected dividends. Stock-based compensation expense is reported under general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
In May 2011, the Company adopted the 2011 Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”). The 2011 Plan is a shareholder approved plan that provides for broad-based equity grants to employees, officers, directors, consultants, agents, advisors and independent contractors of the Company. The 2011 Plan allows for the granting of awards including options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, restricted stock, performance based awards, cash-based awards or other incentive payable in cash or in shares of common stock.
The 2011 Plan provides for the granting of options to purchase up to 8,000,000 shares of common stock. 6,847,872 options have been granted and exercised to date. Options granted under the 2011 Plan have a 1-year term and may be incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. The awards that have been granted to date are at an exercise price equal to $.001 and generally vest immediately. The Company recognized $2,389,920 in compensation expense ratably over the vesting period. At June 30, 2011, there were no options outstanding under the 2011 Plan.

NOTE 10 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION (CONTINUED)
The fair value of options granted is estimated on the date of grant based on the weighted-average assumptions in the table below. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life at the grant date. The calculated value method using the historical volatility of the Food and Beverages industry is used as the basis for the volatility assumption.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This report includes a number of forward looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this quarterly report. These forward looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.
Company Overview
We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on August 2, 2007 under the name Mojo Shopping, Inc. for the purpose of developing, promoting, and expanding an online retail business. We were in the development stage and were focused on online retailing of products such as furniture, design accessories, art, clothing, music and a variety of environmentally friendly products which are designed to appeal to the tastes of young, socially conscious professionals. We generated only nominal revenues in the pursuit of our business plan and lacked the financial resources to maintain operations. We searched for investment capital to no avail and decided to seek and investigate alternate business opportunities for our shareholders.
Recent Developments
On April 28, 2011, we filed an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation in Delaware to (i) change our name from Mojo Shopping, Inc. to Mojo Ventures, Inc. and (ii) to increase the number of our authorized shares from 100,000,000 shares to 200,000,000, consisting of 190,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
We also effectuated a forward stock split in which each shareholder was issued 25 shares of common stock in exchange for each one share of common stock held by them. The forward split was declared effective by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) on May 9, 2011. Immediately prior to the stock split 4,520,000 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding and upon the effectiveness of the stock split there were 113,000,000 shares issued and outstanding.
On May 13, 2011, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Specialty Beverage and Supplement, Inc., a privately held Nevada corporation (“SBSI”) and SBSI Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary (“Acquisition Sub”), pursuant to which SBSI merged with and into Acquisition Sub (the “Merger”) with the filing of the Articles of Merger with the Nevada Secretary of State on May 13, 2011 and became our wholly-owned subsidiary. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the closing of the Merger an aggregate of 19,552,128 shares of our common stock were issued to the holders of SBSI’s common stock in exchange for their shares of SBSI.
On May 13, 2011, simultaneously with the consummation of the Merger, we issued 7,462,857 shares of common stock to retire certain debt in SBSI held by the holders of 9% subordinated convertible debentures. These noteholders contributed financing to SBSI and agreed to convert their debt in SBSI into our common stock.
18
Upon the closing of the Merger, Ms. Janieszewski resigned as our President, Secretary, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and sole director. Peter Scalise III was appointed as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Scott Ferrari was appointed President and Chief Operating Officer and Neil Rosenberg was appointed Secretary and Treasurer. Simultaneous with the closing, Peter Scalise, Scott Ferrari, Neil Rosenberg, Duncan Weir and Rich Hall were appointed as directors.
On May 13, 2011, simultaneously with the consummation of the Merger, in a separate transaction, we entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with our former Chief Executive Officer and sole director, Ms. Janieszewski. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we transferred all of our membership interests in Mojo Shopping, LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary (the “LLC”), to Ms. Janieszewski in exchange for the assumption of account payables that we owed to third party creditors in the amount of approximately $200,000, the cancellation of 80,000,000 of her shares of our common stock, and the cancellation of indebtedness owed by us to Ms. Janieszewski in the amount of $2,759. Also, simultaneously with the consummation of the Merger, two minority shareholders cancelled an aggregate of 8,000,000 shares of our common stock.
On June 9, 2011, Silberstein Ungar, PLLC (the “Former Accountant”) was dismissed as the Company’s accountant. The Company has engaged ZS Consulting Group, LLP (“New Accountant”) as its principal accountants effective June 9, 2011. The decision to change accountants was approved by the Company’s board of directors. The Company provided the Former Accountant with its disclosures in Form 8-K filed 6/10/2011 disclosing the dismissal of the Former Accountant and requested in writing that the Former Accountant furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not they agree with such disclosures. The Former Accountant’s response is filed as an exhibit to the Form 8-K.
We intend to carry on SBSI’s business as our sole line of business. We have relocated our executive offices to 836 Grundy Avenue, Holbrook, New York 11741 and our telephone number is (631)-750-3195
SBSI was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 3, 2008. SBSI is currently engaged in the development of beverage products and vitamin supplements, such as energy drinks, sports drinks, wellness beverages, ready to drink (“RTD”) iced teas and vitamin enhanced kids drinks. SBSI is also developing vitamin and supplement lines for the sports, fitness and health industries.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 and Three Months Ended June 30, 2010
Revenues
We did not generate any revenues from product sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
Total operating expenses
For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, total operating expenses were $3,553,917 and $162,775, respectively. Operating expenses increased $3,391,142 during the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010. This increase was due primarily to an increase in merger and acquisition costs, stock based compensation, headcount, and related expenses to support expanded fund raising, R&D and marketing activities. We expect that our operating expenses will increase as we are able to locate funds and pursue business operations.
Net loss
For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, net loss was $3,569,926 and $210,811, respectively.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 and Six Months Ended June 30, 2010
Revenues
We did not generate any revenues from product sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
Total operating expenses
For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, total operating expenses were $4,013,616 and $351,214, respectively. Operating expenses increased $3,662,402 during the first six months of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010. This increase was due primarily to an increase in merger and acquisition costs, stock based compensation, headcount, and related expenses to support expanded fund raising, R&D and marketing activities. We expect that our operating expenses will increase as we are able to locate funds and pursue business operations.
Net loss
For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, net loss was $4,105,438 and $446,024, respectively.
20
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our cash and cash equivalents balance at June 30, 2011 was $442,307 as compared to $35,015 at December 31, 2010.
To date, we have financed our operations through the issuance of equity and debt to private investors. On May 13, 2011, SBSI issued twelve-month 9% convertible subordinated debentures (the “Debentures”) to accredited investors in a private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,612,000. Interest on the Debentures accrued at the rate of 9% per annum and was payable in shares of SBSI common stock. The Debentures were convertible into shares of common stock of SBSI at a conversion price of $0.35 per share and were mandatorily converted in accordance with their terms, into an aggregate of 7,462,848 shares of our common stock upon the effectiveness of the Merger on May 13, 2011. The investors in the Debentures have the right to appoint a director to our Board of Directors. The Debentures were issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
We presently do not have any available credit, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity other than the remaining net proceeds from the sale of the Debentures. Due to our brief history and historical operating losses, our operations have not been a source of liquidity. We believe that, at our current level of operation, we do not have sufficient cash to meet our expenses for the next six months. We expect that we will need to obtain additional capital in order to maintain our public company regulatory requirements and execute our business plan, build our operations and become profitable. In order to obtain capital, we may need to sell additional shares of our common stock or debt securities, or borrow funds from private lenders or banking institutions. We have not made any decisions with respect to any such financing. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional funding in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional funding as necessary, we may have to suspend our operations temporarily or cease operations entirely.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
GOING CONCERN
Our financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs and allow us to continue as a going concern. Our auditors have indicated that our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until we become profitable. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to cease operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, we will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management, significant shareholders and third parties through the sale of equity and/or debt financing sufficient to meet our minimal operating expenses. However management cannot provide any assurances that will be successful in accomplishing any of our plans.
21
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon 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, regardless of how remote.
The management of Mojo Ventures, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, consisting of Peter Scalise III and Neil Rosenberg, our Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer concluded, as of the Evaluation Date, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the identification of what might be deemed a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting which is identified below.
22
Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 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 of achieving their control objectives. In evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, our sole officer concluded that, during the period covered by this quarterly report, our internal controls over financial reporting were not operating effectively. Management did not identify any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2011; however, it has identified the following deficiencies that, when aggregated, may possibly be viewed as a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of that date:
|
1.
|
We do not have an audit committee. While we are not currently obligated to have an audit committee, including a member who is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K, under applicable regulations or listing standards; however, it is management’s view that such a committee is an important internal control over financial reporting, the lack of which may result in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of internal controls and procedures.
|
|
2.
|
We did not maintain proper segregation of duties for the preparation of our financial statements. We currently only have one officer overseeing all transactions. This has resulted in several deficiencies including the lack of control over preparation of financial statements, and proper application of accounting policies:
|
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth the two items above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside Directors on our Board of Directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
Management's Remediation Initiatives
In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we plan to initiate the following series of measures once we have the financial resources to do so:
We will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us. We plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds are available to us.
Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside Directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, would remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
