E-WASTE CORP.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
November 30, 2013
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Nature of Business
Throughout this report, the terms “our,” “we,” “us,” and the “Company” refer to E-Waste Corp. The accompanying unaudited financial statements of E-Waste Corp. at November 30, 2013 and 2012 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements, instructions to Form 10-Q, and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2013. In management’s opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation to make our financial statements not misleading have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended November 30, 2013 and 2012 presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The February 28, 2013 balance sheet has been derived from our audited financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2013.
E-Waste Corp., a Florida corporation was formed on January 26, 2012, to develop an e-waste recycling business. The Company was not successful in its efforts and has discontinued this line of business.
Going forward, the Company intends to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, engage in a business combination with a private entity whose business presents an opportunity for our shareholders. Our objectives discussed below are extremely general and are not intended to restrict discretion of our Board of Directors to search for and enter into potential business opportunities or to reject any such opportunities.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplates our continuation as a going concern. The Company is in the development stage and has not as yet generated any revenues and has incurred losses to date of $87,134. In addition, our current liabilities exceed our current assets by $43,369. To date the Company has funded its operations through advances from a stockholder and the sale of common stock. The Company intends on financing its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of public equity securities with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue operating as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue our operations as a going concern, realize the carrying value of our assets, and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business is dependent upon our ability to raise capital sufficient to fund its commitments and ongoing losses, and ultimately generate profitable operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Financial Instruments
The Company’s balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, at the time of purchase, to be cash equivalents.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
November 30, 2013
(Unaudited)
(Continued)
Revenue and Cost Recognition
The Company has no current source of revenue; therefore the Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding the recognition of revenue or cost.
Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. There has been no advertising cost incurred for the period January 26, 2012 (date of inception) through November 30, 2013.
Research and Development Expenses
Expenditures for research and development are expensed as incurred. There have been no research and development cost incurred for the period from January 26, 2012 (inception) through November 30, 2013.
Income Taxes
A provision for income taxes is determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any 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.
ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements, uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.
For the three and nine months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012 and for the period from January 26, 2012 (inception) through November 30, 2013 the Company did not have any interest and penalties or any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.
Earnings per Share
The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period, and diluted earnings per share is computed by including Common Stock equivalents outstanding for the period in the denominator. At November 30, 2013 and 2012 the Company had no potential dilutive common shares and, any equivalents would have been anti-dilutive as the Company had losses for the periods then ended.
Recent Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but no yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoptions of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on our financial condition or the results of operations.

Note 3. Advances from Stockholder
Advances from stockholder are non-interest bearing and due on demand.
Note 4. Stockholders’ Equity
In January 2012, the Company issued 9,000,000 shares of its $0.0001 par value common stock to its then CEO and sole director, for cash in the amount of $9,000 (per share price of $0.001).
During the year ended February 28, 2013 the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of its common stock pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 at a price of $0.12 per share. The Company received an aggregate of $36,000 as a result of the offering. Costs associated with the public offering amounted to $1,235 and have been deducted from the Company’s paid-in capital account. The net proceeds from this offering were $34,765.
There are no warrants or options outstanding to acquire any additional shares of common stock of the Company.
Note 5. Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in interim periods in accordance with ASC 740. The Company has determined an estimated annual effective tax rate. The rate will be revised, if necessary, as of the end of each successive interim period during our fiscal year to our best current estimate. As of November 30, 2013 and 2012, the estimated effective tax rate for the year will be zero.
There are open statutes of limitations for taxing authorities in federal and state jurisdictions to audit our tax returns from 2012 through the current period. Our policy is to account for income tax related interest and penalties in income tax expense in the statements of operations. There have been no income tax related interest or penalties assessed or recorded.
ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This pronouncement also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
Note 6. Commitments and Contingency
From time to time the Company may be a party to litigation matters involving claims against the Company. Management believes that there are no current matters that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
Note 7. Business Segments
There are no reportable business segments.
Note 8. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated all activity and concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the financial statements or disclosure in the notes to the financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking Statements
Except for historical information, this report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, statements regarding our business strategy, future revenues and anticipated costs and expenses. Such forward-looking statements include, among others, those statements including the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “believes” and similar language. Our actual results may differ significantly from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed herein. You should carefully review the risks described herein and in other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to the forward-looking statements or reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements.
All references in this Form 10-Q to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” are to E-Waste Corp.
General Overview
We were incorporated in the State of Florida on January 26, 2012, to develop an e-waste recycling business. We were not successful in our efforts and have discontinued this line of business. Going forward, we intend to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, engage in a business combination with a private entity whose business presents an opportunity for our shareholders. No specific assets or businesses have been definitively identified and there is no certainty that any such assets or business will be identified or any transactions will be consummated. See Part I, Item 1, “Business—Our Business Plan,” and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 13, 2013 for additional information and risks associated with our proposed business plan.
During the next 12 months we anticipate incurring costs related to filing of Exchange Act reports, and possible costs relating to consummating an acquisition or combination.
We expect that we will need to raise funds in order to effectuate our business plan. We have no specific plans, understandings or agreements with respect to the raising of such funds, and we may seek to raise the required capital by the issuance of equity or debt securities or by other means. Since we have no such arrangements or plans currently in effect, our inability to raise funds for the consummation of an acquisition may have a severe negative impact on our ability to become a viable company.
Results of Operations
Three Month Period Ended November 30, 2013 Compared to Three Month Period Ended November 30, 2012
Revenues and Other Income
During the three month period ended November 30, 2013, we remained in the developing stage and we did not realize any revenues from operations. Similarly, we have not realized any revenues from operations during the period from inception through November 30, 2013.
Expenses
Operating expenses, consisting entirely of general and administrative expenses (including professional fees) totaled $13,974 in the three-month period ended November 30, 2013, compared to $11,877 in the three-month period ended November 30, 2012, which consisted primarily of general and administrative expenses.
Net Losses
As a result of the foregoing, we incurred a net loss of $13,974 or $(0.00) per share, for the three months ended November 30, 2013, compared to a net loss of $11,877, or $(0.00) per share, for the corresponding period ended November 30, 2012.
- 10 -
Nine Month Period Ended November 30, 2013 Compared to Nine Month Period Ended November 30, 2012
Revenues and Other Income
During the nine month period ended November 30, 2013, we remained in the developing stage and we did not realize any revenues from operations. Similarly, we have not realized any revenues from operations during the period from inception through November 30, 2013.
Expenses
Operating expenses, consisting entirely of general and administrative expenses (including professional fees) totaled $41,960 in the nine-month period ended November 30, 2013, compared to $22,738 in the nine-month period ended November 30, 2012, which consisted primarily of general and administrative expenses.
Net Losses
As a result of the foregoing, we incurred a net loss of $41,960, or $(0.00) per share, for the nine months ended November 30, 2013, compared to a net loss of $22,738, or $(0.00) per share, for the corresponding period ended November 30, 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of the date of this report, we had yet to generate any revenues from our business operations. For the period ended February 28, 2012, we issued 9,000,000 shares of common stock to our sole officer and director for cash proceeds of $9,000. Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 14, 2013, between GEM Global Yield Fund LLC SCS (“GGYF”) and John Maute, our then principal shareholder and sole officer and director, GGYF purchased from six million (6,000,000) shares of our common stock from Mr. Maute. We also sold 3,000,000 shares of our common stock in a public offering, which closed on June 14, 2012, for aggregate cash proceeds of $36,000.
As of November 30, 2013, we had no cash, we had liabilities of $43,369, and our working capital deficit was $43,369. We anticipate that our current liquidity is not sufficient to meet the obligations associated with being a company that is fully reporting with the SEC.
To date, we have managed to keep our monthly cash flow requirement low for two reasons. First, our sole officer does not draw a salary at this time. Second, we have been able to keep our operating expenses to a minimum by operating in space provided at no expense by GGYF.
We currently have no external sources of liquidity such as arrangements with credit institutions or off-balance sheet arrangements that will have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or immediate access to capital.
Our sole director and officer has made no commitments written or oral, with respect to providing a source of liquidity in the form of cash advances, loans and/or financial guarantees.
In the nine month period ended November 30, 2013, GGYF made loans to us in the amount of $28,895 to pay certain of our expenses. However, going forward, GGYF has made no commitments written or oral, with respect to providing a source of liquidity in the form of cash advances, loans and/or financial guarantees.
We expect that we will need to raise funds in order to effectuate our business plan. We anticipate that we will need to seek financing through means such as borrowings from institutions or private individuals. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise such funds. If we are unsuccessful at raising sufficient funds, for whatever reason, to fund our operations, we may be forced to seek a buyer for our business or another entity with which we could create a joint venture. If all of these alternatives fail, we expect that we will be required to seek protection from creditors under applicable bankruptcy laws.
Our independent auditor has expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and believes that our ability is dependent on our ability to implement our business plan, raise capital and generate revenues. See Note 2 of our financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have never entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements and have not formed any special purpose entities. We have not guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities or entered into any options on non-financial assets.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, management has concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our Board, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
· | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; |
|
|
· | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and |
|
|
· | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
As of November 30, 2013, management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, we believe that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
- 12 -
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of independent directors on our Board, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (3) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our President, Treasurer and Secretary in connection with the review of our financial statements as of November 30, 2013.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2) and (3) 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 independent 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 have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:
· | Assuming we are able to secure additional working capital, 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 also 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 which 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. |
Management believes that the appointment of one or more independent directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of independent directors on our Board.
We anticipate that these initiatives will be implemented in conjunction with the growth of our business.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation we conducted of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2013, that occurred during our first fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
