Unique Underwriters, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
March 31, 2014 (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Unique Underwriters, Inc. (the “Company”) is a national, independent insurance sales and marketing company located in the Mooresville, North Carolina area. The Company was incorporated in the State of Texas on July 28, 2009.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements include the accounts of Unique Underwriters, Inc. under the accrual basis of accounting.
Interim financial statements
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the stated periods have been made. Except as described below, these adjustments consist only of normal and recurring adjustments. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with a reading of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on October 15, 2013. Interim results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of future results for the full year.
Management’s Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements above reflect all of the costs of doing business. The Company’s significant estimates include the valuation of stock-based compensation.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the prior years' financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition – The Company applies paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when services are realized or realizable and earned less estimated future doubtful accounts. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met:
(i) | persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, |
(ii) | the services have been rendered and all required milestones achieved, |
(iii) | the sales price is fixed or determinable, and |
(iv) | Collectability is reasonably assured. |
The approval from the Company’s insurance carriers, which occurs upon receipt of our commission check and the policy, is reviewed online, and related completion of services to the client is an event that triggers revenue recognition.
The lead sales revenue is recognized when one of our agents submits an order to rent leads and simultaneously their credit card is processed and the leads are distributed to them. The Company recognizes revenue when the agent submits an order to rent the leads for 30 days. After thirty days the leads become available for rental to another agent. Leads may be rented multiple times at decreasing rates due to the lead’s age and number of times it has been rented.
Membership revenue recognition occurs when an agent registers for one of the Company’s websites online and submits their payment information; the agent must give 30 days notice of request to cancel their membership. The Company recognizes revenue related to our various membership plans as income on a straight-line basis over the length of membership period.
The customer deposit is strictly related to Executive Membership Package. After submitting a $500 deposit, an Executive Member can request that the Company directly mail letters to new home owners and/or senior citizens to generate new direct mail response leads. The Company refunds these deposits back to Executive Members when they no longer request that the Company directly mail letters to new home owners and/or senior citizens to generate new direct mail response leads. However, the Executive Members may also apply these deposits towards the leads sale or membership fees in the future. After the Executive Member cancels their direct mail service, they have the choice to use these deposits for additional leads, request that the deposits be applied towards membership, or ask for refunds. If deposits are used for additional leads, revenue is recognized when services are realized or realizable and earned. If deposits are used for membership fees, revenue is recognized over the length of membership period. For the nine months ended March 31, 2014, and 2013, the Company did not issue any refunds to Executive Members.
Cost of Sales - The Company’s policy is to recognize cost of sales in the same manner in conjunction with revenue recognition, when the costs are incurred. Cost of sales includes the costs directly attributable to revenue recognition and include marketing and leads generation costs, leads purchased costs and agent expenses.
Loss Per Share – Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period. 2,258,621 shares of common stock underlying convertible debenture are not included in the calculations of diluted loss per share, as the impact of the potential common shares would antidilutive.
Stock-Based Compensation- The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method following the guidance set forth in section 718-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosure about Stock-Based Compensation. This section requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award- the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.
Fair Value for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities- The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:
Level 1 | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. |
Level 2 | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. |
Level 3 | Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, rent deposit, accounts payable, customer deposits and notes payable approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
The Company’s derivative liabilities related to convertible debt are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, using level 3 inputs. There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the nine months ended March 31, 2014.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its consolidated financial condition or the consolidated results of its operations.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amount used for federal and state income tax purposes.
The Company’s deferred tax asset at March 31, 2014 consists of net operating loss carry forwards calculated using federal and state effective tax rates equating to approximately $409,850 less a valuation allowance in the amount of approximately $409,850. Because of the Company’s lack of earnings history, the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance.
ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. The Company classifies interest and penalties as a component of interest and other expenses. To date, the Company has not been assessed, nor has the Company paid, any interest or penalties.
The Company measures and records uncertain tax positions by establishing a threshold for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Only tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized. All of the Company's tax years are subject to examination.
At March 31, 2014, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $1,171,000 that expire in various years through the year 2034.
NOTE 2 FIXED ASSETS
Fixed assets were comprised of the following as of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013:

The balance of unsecured demand loan was $0 and $250,000 as of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively. The funds borrowed from an unrelated party were to fund the Company’s daily operations. The loan was unsecured, interest free and repayable currently. In February 2014, the company was relieved of its obligations, which remain obligations of former officers and principal stockholders.

The effects of imputed interest are immaterial to the financial statements taken as a whole. On February 2014, the principal and accrued interest in total amount of $27,984 was forgiven by the related parties. Accordingly, the Company recorded additional paid in capital of $27,984 in the accompanying statements of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2014.
NOTE 5 ADVANCES FROM THIRD PARTIES
During the nine months ended March 31, 2014, the company received advances from Yellowstone Capital, LLC totaling $26,831 to fund the Company’s daily operations.

NOTE 6 CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
On August 15, 2013 Unique Underwriters, Inc. (the “Company”) issued an 8% convertible note in the principal amount of $47,500 (the "Note") to an Accredited Investor (the “Lender").
The Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum. All interest and principal must be repaid on May 30, 2014. The Note is convertible any time during the period beginning on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of the Note into common stock of the Company, at the Lender’s option, at a 42% discount to the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the 10 Trading Day period prior to conversion as Trading Day is defined in the Note. In the event the Company prepays the Note in full, the Company is required to pay off all principal, interest and any other amounts owing multiplied by 135% if prepaid 121 days following the Issue Date through 180 days following the Issue Date. After the expiration of 180 days following the date of the Note, the Company has no right of prepayment.
The Lender has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Note and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The total net proceeds the Company received were $45,000, net of attorney’s fees of $2,500.
The Company has determined that the conversion feature of the Notes represent an embedded derivative since the Notes are convertible into a variable number of shares upon conversion. Accordingly, the Notes are not considered to be conventional debt under EITF 00-19 and the embedded conversion feature must be bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for as a derivative liability. Accordingly, the fair value of this derivative instrument has been recorded as a liability on the balance sheet with the corresponding amount recorded as a discount to the Notes. Such discount will be accreted from the grant date to the maturity date of the Notes. The change in the fair value of the derivative liability will be recorded in other income or expenses in the statement of operations at the end of each period, with the offset to the derivative liability on the balance sheet. The beneficial conversion feature included in the Notes resulted in an initial debt discount of $47,500 and an initial loss on the valuation of derivative liabilities of $10,491 based on the initial fair value of the derivative liability of $57,991. The fair value of the embedded derivative liability was calculated at grant date utilizing the following assumptions:
Grant Date |
Fair Value |
Term (Years) |
Assumed Conversion Price | Market Price on Grant Date |
Volatility Percentage |
Risk-free Rate |
8/15/2013 | $57,991 | 0.75 | $0.058 | $0.1 | 200% | 0.14% |
At March 31, 2014, the Company revalued the embedded derivative liability. For the period from the grant date to March 31, 2014, the balance of derivative liability did not change.
The fair value of the embedded derivative liability was calculated at March 31, 2014 utilizing the following assumptions:
Fair Value |
Term (Years) |
Assumed Conversion Price |
Volatility Percentage |
Risk-free Rate |
$36,460 | 0.13 | $0.029 | 206% | 0.13% |
The carrying value of the Notes was $39,398 as of March 31, 2014, net of unamortized discount of $8,102. The Company recorded amortization of the debt discount in the amount of $28,358 during the period ended March 31, 2014. The accrued interest related to this note for the period ended March 31, 2014 is $2,735.
On November 19, 2013 Unique Underwriters, Inc. (the “Company”) issued an 8% convertible note in the principal amount of $18,000 (the "Note") to an Accredited Investor (the “Lender").
The Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum. All interest and principal must be repaid on August 21, 2014. The Note is convertible any time during the period beginning on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of the Note into common stock of the Company, at the Lender’s option, at a 42% discount to the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the 10 Trading Day period prior to conversion as Trading Day is defined in the Note. In the event the Company prepays the Note in full, the Company is required to pay off all principal, interest and any other amounts owing multiplied by 135% if prepaid 121 days following the Issue Date through 180 days following the Issue Date. After the expiration of 180 days following the date of the Note, the Company has no right of prepayment.
The Lender has agreed to restrict its ability to convert the Note and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
The Company has determined that the conversion feature of the Notes represent an embedded derivative since the Notes are convertible into a variable number of shares upon conversion. Accordingly, the Notes are not considered to be conventional debt under EITF 00-19 and the embedded conversion feature must be bifurcated from the debt host and accounted for as a derivative liability. Accordingly, the fair value of this derivative instrument has been recorded as a liability on the balance sheet with the corresponding amount recorded as a discount to the Notes. Such discount will be accreted from the grant date to the maturity date of the Notes. The change in the fair value of the derivative liability will be recorded in other income or expenses in the statement of operations at the end of each period, with the offset to the derivative liability on the balance sheet. The beneficial conversion feature included in the Notes resulted in an initial debt discount of $18,000 and an initial loss on the valuation of derivative liabilities of $4,246 based on the initial fair value of the derivative liability of $22,246. The fair value of the embedded derivative liability was calculated at grant date utilizing the following assumptions:
Grant Date |
Fair Value |
Term (Years) |
Assumed Conversion Price | Market Price on Grant Date |
Volatility Percentage |
Risk-free Rate |
11/19/2013 | $22,246 | 0.75 | $0.046 | $0.08 | 201% | 0.14% |
At March 31, 2014, the Company revalued the embedded derivative liability. For the period from the grant date to March 31, 2014, the balance of derivative liability did not change.
The fair value of the embedded derivative liability was calculated at March 31, 2014 utilizing the following assumptions:
Fair Value |
Term (Years) |
Assumed Conversion Price |
Volatility Percentage |
Risk-free Rate |
$13,817 | 0.39 | $0.029 | 205,78% | 0.13% |
The carrying value of the Notes was $11,092 as of March 31, 2014, net of unamortized discount of $6,908. The Company recorded amortization of the debt discount in the amount of $6,908 during the period ended March 31, 2014. The accrued interest related to this note for the period ended March 31, 2014 was $521.

NOTE 9 GOING CONCERN AND UNCERTAINTY
The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations since inception and has a working capital deficit of $166,675, as of March 31, 2014. In addition, the Company has yet to generate an internal cash flow from its business operations. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Management’s plans with regard to these matters encompass the following actions: 1) obtain funding from new investors to alleviate the Company’s working capital deficiency, and 2) implement a plan to generate sales. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to resolve it liquidity problems and increase profitability in its current business operations. However, the outcome of management’s plans cannot be ascertained with any degree of certainty. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these risks and uncertainties.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto.
Forward-Looking Statements

When used in this Report, the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management’s current view of us concerning future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including among many others: our potential inability to raise additional capital, the possibility that third parties hold proprietary rights that preclude us from marketing our products, the emergence of additional competing technologies, changes in domestic and foreign laws, regulations and taxes, changes in economic conditions, a general economic downturn, a downturn in the securities markets, Securities and Exchange Commission regulations which affect trading in the securities of “penny stocks,” and other risks and uncertainties. Should any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in this Report as anticipated, estimated or expected.
Use of Certain Defined Terms
Except as otherwise indicated by the context, references in this report to " Unique Underwriters", "we," "us," or "our" , “UUI” and the "Company" are references to the business of Unique Underwriters, Inc.
Use of GAAP Financial Measures
We use GAAP financial measures in the section of this quarterly report captioned “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” All of the GAAP financial measures used by us in this report relate to the inclusion of financial information.
Overview
This subsection of MD&A is an overview of the important factors that management focuses on in evaluating our businesses, financial condition and operating performance, our overall business strategy and our earnings for the periods covered.
General
Unique Underwriters, Inc. is a national Independent Marketing Organization that focuses exclusively on the sale of mortgage protection insurance policies, final expense insurance policies, annuities and life insurance policies. The Company provides sales and marketing assistance for its agents by utilizing direct-mail lead programs, insurance sales training and agency-building opportunities. The Company rents quality leads to its agents that allow the agent to generate sales of mortgage protection insurance policies, final expense insurance policies, annuities and life insurance policies. UUI generates revenue from three (3) sources: commissions from insurance carriers as a result of policies sold by our network of independent agents, renting leads to our network of independent agents, and the sales of annual membership packages to our agents that provide various levels of access to leads, training, personalized website, mentoring, customer support, company events and conventions.
During the last quarter, current management continued its reduction of expenses to insure the continued viability of the Company. Although future cash flow is always difficult to predict, by eliminating expenses and increasing our marketing, lead generation and production efforts, management continues to believe that profitability should improve during the coming year.

Results of Operations
Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation.
We expect we will require additional capital to meet our long term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through, among other things, the sale of equity or debt securities.
Revenues
We had revenue of $29,676 and $304,333 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014, respectively, of which $29,676 from the commissions due to sales of insurance products, including Mortgage life insurance, Funeral expense insurance and annuities, and $0 from the sales of leads during the three months ended March 31, 2014, and $127,275 from the commissions due to sales of insurance products, including Mortgage life insurance, Funeral expense insurance and annuities, and $177,058 from the sales of leads during the nine months ended March 31, 2014. Comparatively, We had revenue of $345,421 and $1,277,001 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013, respectively, of which $174,875 from the commissions due to sales of insurance products, including Mortgage life insurance, Funeral expense insurance and annuities, and $170,546 from the sales of leads during the three months ended March 31, 2013, and $790,498 from the commissions due to sales of insurance products, including Mortgage life insurance, Funeral expense insurance and annuities, and $486,503 from the sales of leads during the nine months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease by $315,745 and $931,580 during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014, respectively, was due in large part to limited capital resources which caused the number of mailings to be decreased. Less mailings going out meant fewer leads coming in which in turn resulted in less income from the sale of leads and less production from the sale of insurance policies.
(13) |
Cost of Sales
The cost of sales was $1,353, or 4.6% of revenues, and $157,246, or 51.7% of revenue, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014, respectively. Comparatively, the cost of sales was $133,474, or 38.64% of revenues, and $466,824, or 36.56% of revenue, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013, respectively.
Cost of sales includes the costs directly attributable to revenue recognition, such as marketing and leads generation costs, leads purchased costs, and payments to agents, which was $43,675, $41,947, and $71,534 during the nine months ended March 31, 2014, respectively, and $164,064, $84,093, and $218,667 during the nine months ended March 31, 2013, respectively.
We recognized cost of sales in the same manner in conjunction with revenue recognition, when the costs were incurred. Contract labor expenses were not directly related to the generation of sales, rather were involved in the selling, general and administrative expenses of the business.
Expenses
We had operating expenses of $39,086 and $227,307 during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014, respectively, compared to operating expenses of $229,900 and $865,996 during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013, respectively. The decrease by $190,814 during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was due primarily to the decrease in consulting fees, contract labor, professional fee, and rent. The decrease by $638,689 during the nine months ended March 31, 2014 was due primarily to the decrease in consulting fees, contract labor and rent.
Expenses included in other administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations are miscellaneous and sundry expenses pertaining to office expenses and office supplies that are immaterial to be presented separately on the face of the statements of operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $77,048 and $68,839 during the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Negative cash flow from operations during the nine months ended March 31, 2014 was due to the net loss of $126,241, and offset by the stock issued for services rendered of $10,800, the amortization of debt discount of $35,265, expense of deferred financing fee of $2,500, the depreciation of $484, and increase in accrued interest of $2,730, the decrease in the accounts payable of $14,053, the increase of accrued expense of $5,110, and the write off rent deposit of $4,578. Negative cash flows from operation during the nine months ended March 31, 2013 was due to the net loss of $55,694, the increase in accounts receivable by $4,243, plus the decrease in accounts payable in amount of $30,375, offset by the increase in accrued payroll taxes by $25,893.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $1,315 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 due primarily to the purchase of computers. Comparatively, net cash used in investing activities was $3,371 for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 due primarily to the purchase of furniture.
(14) |
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $68,036 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 due to loan to shareholders, proceeds from advance from third party, issuance of note payable, and repayment of related party loans and advance from third party. Comparatively, Net cash provided by financing activities was $53,055 for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 due to proceeds from related party loans.
Critical Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition – The Company applies paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when services are realized or realizable and earned less estimated future doubtful accounts. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met:
(i) | persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, |
(ii) | the services have been rendered and all required milestones achieved, |
(iii) | the sales price is fixed or determinable, and |
(iv) | collectability is reasonably assured. |
The approval from the Company’s insurance carriers, which occurs upon receipt of our commission check and the policy, is reviewed online, and related completion of services to the client is an event that triggers revenue recognition.
No revenue is recognized prior to receipt of the commission check.
The lead sales revenue is recognized when one of our agents submits an order to rent leads and simultaneously their credit card is processed and the leads are distributed to them. The Company recognizes revenue when the agent submits an order to rent the leads for 30 days. After thirty days the leads become available for rental to another agent. Leads may be rented multiple times at decreasing rates due to the lead’s age and number of times it has been rented.
Membership revenue recognition occurs when an agent registers for one of the Company’s websites online and submits their payment information; the agent must give 30 days notice of request to cancel their membership. The Company recognizes revenue related to our various membership plans as income on a straight-line basis over the length of membership period.
The customer deposit is strictly related to Executive Membership Package. After submitting a $500 deposit, an Executive Member can request that the Company directly mail letters to new home owners and/or senior citizens to generate new direct mail response leads. The Company refunds these deposits back to Executive Members when they no longer request that the Company directly mail letters to new home owners and/or senior citizens to generate new direct mail response leads. However, the Executive Members may also apply these deposits towards the leads sale or membership fees in the future. After the Executive Member cancels their direct mail service, they have the choice to use these deposits for additional leads, request that the deposits be applied towards membership, or ask for refunds. If deposits are used for additional leads, revenue is recognized when services are realized or realizable and earned. If deposits are used for membership fees, revenue is recognized over the length of membership period. For the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not issue any refunds to Executive Members.
(15) |
Cost of Sales - The Company’s policy is to recognize cost of sales in the same manner in conjunction with revenue recognition, when the costs are incurred. Cost of sales includes the costs directly attributable to revenue recognition and include marketing and leads generation costs, leads purchased costs and agent expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses are charged to expense as incurred.
Plan of Operation and Funding
We expect that working capital requirements will continue to be funded through a combination of our existing funds and further issuances of securities. Our working capital requirements are expected to increase in line with the growth of our business. In connection with our business plan, management anticipates additional increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures relating to: (i) mailing expenses; (ii) advertisement expenses; and (iii) marketing expenses. We intend to finance these expenses with further issuances of securities, and potentially debt issuances. Thereafter, we expect we will need to raise additional capital and generate revenues to meet long-term operating requirements. Additional issuances of equity or debt securities could potentially result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our business operations. We will have to raise additional funds in the next twelve months in order to sustain and expand our operations. We currently do not have a specific plan of how we will obtain such funding; however, we anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock.
We had cash of $262 on hand as of March 31, 2014. The accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2014 was $11,484,067.
The Company’s current cash on hand is not sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the next twelve month period. Completion of our plan of operations is subject to attaining adequate revenue. We cannot assure investors that adequate revenues will be generated. Even without adequate revenues within the next twelve months, we still anticipate being able to continue with our present activities, but we may require financing to achieve operation and growth goals and to meet our working capital requirements. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock in this offering. If we are able to conduct an equity offering, there will be dilution to the current stockholders of the Company and to the investors that acquire shares in the offering; and if we are able to conduct a debt offering, we will likely be subject to various covenants on our business operations and may be required to make payments during the term of the securities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Going Concern
The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations since inception and has a negative working capital. In addition, the Company has yet to generate an internal cash flow from its business operations. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Management’s plans with regard to these matters encompass the following actions: 1) obtain funding from new investors to alleviate the Company’s working deficiency, and 2) implement a plan to generate sales. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to resolve it liquidity problems and increase profitability in its current business operations. However, the outcome of management’s plans cannot be ascertained with any degree of certainty. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these risks and uncertainties.
