Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2014

(Unaudited)

Note 1 Basis of Presentation and Business

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations.  The information furnished in the interim consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements.  Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent audited consolidated financial statements and notes hereto as of December 31, 2013, filed on form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Operating results for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014, or any other period.

Business

Metrospaces, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated as “Strata Capital Corporation” on December 10, 2007, under the laws of the State of Delaware. Urban Spaces, Inc. (“Urban Spaces”) was incorporated on April 3, 2012, under the laws of the State of Nevada and thereafter formed Urban Properties LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and its 99.9% owned subsidiary (“UPLLC”). Through Urban Spaces and its subsidiaries, the Company builds, sells and manages condominium properties located in Argentina and Venezuela.

Since its incorporation and prior to the merger described below, the Company conducted no operations. Since that merger, it has been engaged in the operations conducted by Urban Spaces, but has not earned any revenue. Accordingly, the Company's activities have been accounted for as those of a "Development Stage Enterprise," as set forth in authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Among the disclosures required are that the Company's financial statements be identified as those of a development stage company, and that the statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows disclose activity since the date of Urban Spaces' inception.

Note 2 Significant accounting policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Real Property

Real property is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized; repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Table of Contents4 
 

Investments in non-consolidated subsidiaries

Investments in non-consolidated entities are accounted for using the equity method or cost basis depending upon the level of ownership and/or the Company's ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. When the equity method is used, investments are recorded at original cost and adjusted periodically to recognize the Company's proportionate share of the investees' net income or losses after the date of investment. When net losses from an investment accounted for under the equity method exceed its carrying amount, the investment balance is reduced to zero and additional losses are not provided for. The Company resumes accounting for the investment under the equity method if the entity subsequently reports net income and the Company's share of that net income exceeds the share of net losses not recognized during the period the equity method was suspended. Investments are written down only when there is clear evidence that a decline in value that is other than temporary has occurred.

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. If events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable, the Company compares the carrying amount of the asset group to future undiscounted net cash flows, excluding interest costs, expected to be generated by the asset group and their ultimate disposition. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell.

Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes." Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity's financial statements or tax returns. 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 the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC Topic 740.10.30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements and 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. ASC Topic 740.10.40 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We have no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.

Fair Value Measurement

 

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.

 

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of our short and long term credit obligations approximate fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, which include contractual interest rates taken together with other features such as concurrent issuances of warrants and/or embedded conversion options, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk.

 

Table of Contents5 
 

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

 

The derivative liability in connection with the conversion feature of the convertible debt, classified as a level 3 liability, is the only financial liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

Convertible Instruments

 

The Company evaluates and account for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities”.

 

Applicable GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

 

The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when we have determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) as follows: We record when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.

 

The Company accounts for the conversion of convertible debt when a conversion option has been bifurcated using the general extinguishment standards. The debt and equity linked derivatives are removed at their carrying amounts and the shares issued are measured at their then-current fair value, with any difference recorded as a gain or loss on extinguishment of the two separate accounting liabilities. During the six months ending June 30, 2014, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of $117,509 from the conversion of convertible debt with a bifurcated conversion option.

 

Note 3 – Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated any revenues and has no cash on hand to meet its working capital and capital expenditure needs. In addition, the Company had a stockholders' deficiency of $638,831 as of June 30, 2014. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon, among other things, the continued financial support from its shareholders and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate revenues in the future. These financial statements do not give any effect to any adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Table of Contents6 
 

Note 4 – Advance payment for Real Property

The Company purchased from GBS Capital Partners, Inc. ("GBS"), a related party, the right to receive 9 loft-type condominium units from their builder upon the completion of these units (See note 9). As consideration for this purchase, the Company agreed to pay $750,000 to GBS, without interest (See note 6). The Company has imputed interest on this obligation at the rate of 8% per annum and has recorded the deposit net of such imputed interest at a cost of $665,984. These units will be offered for sale upon their acquisition.

Note 5 Investment in non-consolidated subsidiary

On December 3, 2012, UPLLC assigned to GBS Fund I, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the “Fund”), UPLLC’s rights to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Promotora Alon-Bell, C.A., a Venezuelan corporation which owns vacant land located in Venezuela upon which a condominium project is to be constructed. UPLLC had acquired such rights from a stockholder of the Company in exchange for a promissory note in the principal amount of $150,000. (See note 7.) This stockholder had acquired his rights to acquire these shares under an agreement with their holders, pursuant to which he paid them $150,000 in cash. This investment, which represents an interest of 26.32% in the Fund, is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Fund acquired the shares in Promotora Alon-Bell, C.A. on December 16, 2012. The Company has not recognized any gain or loss from its investment since the subsidiary has not yet commenced any operations.

Note 6 Long Term Debt – Related Party

On April 13, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase nine condominium units from GBS Capital Partners, a related party of the Company, in exchange for a two year non-interest bearing note payable. Interest has been imputed at a rate of 8% per annum.

The Company has recorded an initial debt discount of $84,016 related to the imputed interest which is being amortized on the effective interest rate method over the term of the note. This obligation matures as follows:

October 15, 2013   $ 350,000  
October 15, 2014   $ 400,000  
         
  $ 750,000  

 

Note 7 Notes Payable Related Parties

Notes Payable – related party

A $150,000 promissory note payable to a shareholder of the Company incurred for the transfer of an option to purchase the outstanding shares of Promotora Alon-Bell, C.A. (See Note 4), which is due April 20, 2014, and bears interest at the rate of 11% per annum. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 charged to the statement of operations was $8,250.

During the period from the inception of Urban Spaces (April 3, 2012) through June 30, 2014, a stockholder of the Company paid operating expenses of the Company in the amount of $16,090. These amounts were recorded as a loan payable, bearing no interest and due on demand.

Table of Contents7 
 

Convertible Note Payable – related party

On February 19, 2014, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note in the amount of $260,000 in exchange for a previously issued note of $260,000 to the prior president and sole director of the Company. The new note bears interest at a rate of 0.30% per annum and matures February 19, 2015. The note was convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of 41.5% of the current market price of the Company’s common stock, as defined in the agreement. The note was secured by a pledge of all the shares of the common stock of Urban Space, Inc. On February 19, 2014 $107,640 of the principal amount of the note was converted into 230,000,000 shares of common stock. On May 1, 2014, under a Convertible Note Exchange Agreement, this convertible promissory note and the interest accrued thereon was exchanged for another convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $69,944.04, which was convertible into Common Stock at its par value, and the pledge agreement securing that note was terminated; this convertible promissory note obligates Mr. Astrom to convert the principal amount thereof into Common Stock as quickly as practicable without his becoming an affiliate of the Company. On July 11, 2014, the Convertible Note Exchange Agreement was amended to provide for a conversion price equal to 2.5% of Current Market Value, as that term is defined. On July 22, 2014, $2,741.31 of the principal amount of the note, as amended, was converted into 310,000,000 shares of common stock. As the result of the above mentioned conversions and the forgiveness of $83,516 of the Company’s indebtedness owed under the Convertible Promissory Note, there is $67,102.73 outstanding thereunder.

The Company has determined that the conversion feature embedded in these notes constitutes a derivative and has been bifurcated from the note and recorded as a derivative liability, with a corresponding discount recorded to the associated debt, on the accompanying balance sheet, and revalued to fair market value at each reporting period. The note is presented net of a discount of $97,677 on the accompanying balance sheet.

Note 8 Notes Payable

On August 28, 2013, the Company received a $10,000 bridge loan from a non related party. The loan bears interest at 15% per annum and matured on February 14, 2014.

Note 9 Convertible Note Payable

On February 25, 2014, the Company entered into a Convertible Note Agreement in the principal amount of $40,000. The note bears interest at 8% per annum and is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holder at a purchase price equal to 58% of the lowest closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for fifteen prior trading days upon which a notice of conversion is received by the Company. The note matures on February 25, 2015, but may be redeemed by the Company for a) an amount equal to 125% of the unpaid principal if redeemed within the first 90 days of the note, b) an amount equal to 140% of the unpaid principal if redeemed after the 91st day but before the 151st day of the note, or c) an amount equal to 150% of the unpaid principal if redeemed after the 151st day but before the 180th day of the note. The note may not be redeemed by the Company after 180 days. The Company has determined that the conversion feature embedded in the notes constitutes a derivative and has been bifurcated from the note and recorded as a derivative liability, with a corresponding discount recorded to the associated debt, on the accompany balance sheet, and revalued to fair market value at each reporting period. The note is presented net of a discount of $26,301 on the accompanying balance sheet.

A Company's shareholder is a 33% partner in GBS Capital Partners (see Note 4), the entity from which the Company acquired the deposit of nine condominium units.

The shareholder referred to above is entitled to receive a monthly salary of $1,250. The salary has not been paid and the Company has accrued an amount of $7,500 and $3,750 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The Company has accrued an aggregate amount of $33,750 since inception which is reflected in accrued expenses in the accompanying Balance Sheet at June 30, 2014.

See Notes 4 and 6 regarding the assignment of the right to acquire 9 condominium units from an entity in which a stockholder of the Company has an interest.

Note 11 Income Taxes

The reconciliation of income tax benefit at the U.S. statutory rate of 34% to the Company’s effective rate for the periods presented is as follows:

U.S. federal statutory rate -34.0
State income tax, net of federal benefit -4.0
Increase in valuation allowance 38.0
Income tax provision (benefit) 0.0

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had approximately $300,000 of federal and state net operating loss carryovers ("NOLs") which begin to expire in 2032. Utilization of the NOLs may be subject to limitation under the Internal Revenue Code Section 382 should there be a greater than 50% ownership change as determined under regulations.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will 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 the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the assessment, management has established a full valuation allowance against all of the deferred tax asset relating to NOLs for every period because it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Note 12 Stockholders Equity

On February 19, 2014 $107,640 of the principal amount of the convertible note payable to a related party referred to in Note 7 was converted into 230,000,000 shares of common stock.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE COMPANY’S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE NOTES TO THOSE STATEMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT.

General

We acquire land and design, build, develop and resell condominiums on it, principally in urban areas in Latin America, alone or together with investors; we are also acquiring condominiums that are under construction for resale, but do not intend to conduct business in this manner after these condominiums have been sold. We sell condominiums at different prices, depending principally on their location, size and level of options and amenities to customers who are able to make substantial payments upon signing purchase agreements and at agreed time as construction progresses. Our current projects are located in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Caracas, Venezuela. One of these projects is in the planning stage, one is approximately 90 days from completion and the third is approximately 6 months from completion. We are considering projects in Peru and Colombia, but have taken no measures to implement them. We will market directly with our own sales force by personal contact, through real estate brokers and agents and internet websites. We will also manage these condominiums for customers who wish to lease them on a long- or short-term basis. The Company’s operating subsidiary, Urban Spaces, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Urban Spaces”) which the Company acquired on August 13, 2012, commenced operations on April 3, 2012. The Company is a development-stage company.

Our consolidated financial statements include only the periods commencing with the inception of our operating subsidiary, Urban Spaces, on April 3, 2012, include the financial statements of Urban Spaces and its subsidiaries and do not include any historical financial data of the Company, which was incorporated on December 10, 2007, and which never conducted any business until April 3, 2012. Accordingly, these financial statements are those of Urban Spaces, which was the accounting acquirer in the merger which is discussed below.

We acquire and develop land in urban areas, principally in South American markets, primarily for the construction of condominiums on such land and sell them at different prices and with varying levels of options and amenities to customers who are able to make substantial payments upon signing purchase agreements and at agreed times as construction progresses. We will market directly with our own commissioned sales force, by personal contact by our officers, which will not involve additional compensation to them, through real estate brokers and agents and internet websites and manage these condominiums for customers who wish to lease them on a long- or short-term basis.

Our Common Stock is quoted on OTC Pink under the trading symbol “MSPC.”

Our net loss at June 30, 2014, was $531,208 and our accumulated deficit at that date was $638,831. We had $120 in cash available at that date.

We were unable to pay this obligation and it has been accrued in our financial statements. We will be able to pay our obligations only from revenues from our operations and/or financing. Given our current financial condition and prospects, we can give no assurance as to whether or when we will be able to do so.

Net cash used in operating activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, was $43,059.

Net cash provided by in financing activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, was $40,000 in the form of a loan from an unrelated party.

We financed our operations during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, through the above mentioned and unexpended prior stockholder contributions.

Cash Requirements

At June 30, 2014, we had a stockholders’ deficit of $638,831. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our audited financial statements at December 31, 2013, contains a paragraph regarding doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. We do not have sufficient working capital to pay our operating costs for the next 12 months and we will require additional funds to pay our legal, accounting and other fees associated with our company and its filing obligations under federal securities laws, as well as to pay our other accounts payable generated in the ordinary course of our business. The Company believes that it will require approximately $1 million to fund its operations for the next 12 months. The Company plans to fund its activities, including those of Urban Spaces, during the balance of 2014 and beyond through the sale of debt or equity securities, preconstruction sales of condominiums and/or deposits on condominium units sold after construction of a project commences but before these units are delivered. The ability of the Company to obtain funding from pension funds in Argentina has been restricted by the recent nationalization of the largest Argentine pension funds. The Company believes that it will be able to obtain funding for its projects from other private lenders, but can give no assurance that it will be successful in so doing or that such financing, if available, will be on acceptable terms.

In Latin American countries, the proceeds of these preconstruction sales and deposits are not held in escrow pending closing, but may be used freely. Most commonly, the Company will make a preconstruction sale of one or a few penthouse or luxury condominiums in a project at a discount of 15%-25% from their list price. This discount approximates the rate of interest that the Company would pay for borrowed money in these countries. Such preconstruction sales and deposits are respectively expected to provide approximately 10% to 25% of a project’s costs. We believe that we will receive approximately $1 million from preconstruction sales and deposits over the next 12 months.

We believe that we will receive approximately $850,000 from the sale of the 9 condominium units which we are acquiring in the Chacabuco Project, which is $100,000 more than the $750,000 that we have invested. However, until the sale and delivery of these units is completed, we will not receive payment under the related contracts. We are negotiating an amendment to the agreement between UPLLC and GBS Capital Partners Inc. (“GBS”) under which we are acquiring these units, such that it would be terminated with respect to 5 of the 9 condominium units. In that event, we will have invested $300,000 in the 4 remaining units and believe that we will receive $360,000 from their sale.

On August 13, 2012, the Company issued a promissory note payable to Richard S. Astrom in the principal amount of $260,000. This promissory note was due on August 13, 2013, bore interest at the rate of 0.24% per annum and was secured by a Pledge Agreement, dated as of August 13, 2012, between the Company and Mr. Astrom, under which the Company pledged the shares of Urban Spaces to Mr. Astrom. The maturity of the promissory note was extended to April 14, 2014, on August 12, 2013, and on February 19, 2014, the promissory note was exchanged for a convertible promissory note which was convertible into shares of Common Stock at a price per share based upon the current market price of the Common Stock. Because of conversions of the principal amount of the convertible promissory note into shares of Common Stock, the principal amount was reduced to $65,901.67. On May 1, 2014, under a Convertible Note Exchange Agreement, this convertible promissory note and the interest accrued thereon was exchanged for another convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $69,944.04, which is convertible into Common Stock at its par value and the pledge agreement was terminated; this convertible promissory note obligates Mr. Astrom to convert the principal amount thereof into Common Stock as quickly as practicable without his becoming an affiliate of the Company. On July 11, 2014, the Convertible Note Exchange Agreement was amended to provide for a conversion price equal to 2.5% of Current Market Value, as that term is defined. As the result of conversions and the foregiveness of $83,516 of indebtedness owed under the Convertible Promissory Note, there is $67,102.73 outstanding thereunder.

 On April 13, 2012, UPLLC entered into an agreement with GBS, under which GBS assigned to UPLLC the right to receive 9 condominium units being constructed in Buenos Aires and UPLLC agreed to pay $750,000 to GBS for these units. The obligation of UPLLC to pay GBS is secured by a Pledge Agreement, dated April 13, 2012, between Urban Spaces and GBS, under which Urban Spaces pledged its membership interests in UPLLC to GBS. Installments of $350,000 and $400,000 were due under this agreement on April 15, 2013, and April 15, 2014, respectively. Because the units were not timely delivered, the parties agreed that these dates would be extended to October 15, 2013, and 2014, respectively and that the new dates would be further extended by the number of days after May 30, 2013, that elapse until delivery. As of the date of this report, the units have not been delivered and the date on which these payments will be due is not ascertainable; if the units were delivered on May 30, 2014, for example, these payments would be due on October 15, 2014, and 2015, respectively. We are negotiating an amendment of this agreement, under which the above mentioned agreement would be terminated with respect to 5 of the 9 condominium units in exchange for a reduction of our indebtedness to $300,000.

While the Company is not in default under the above mention convertible promissory note, funds available to pay the $67,102.73 outstanding under this note when due; however, since Mr. Astrom is obligated to convert the principal amount of this convertible promissory note into shares of Common Stock, the Company does not expect that it will be required to pay this obligation. Likewise, while UPLLC is not in default under its obligation to pay $750,000 to GBS and Urban Spaces is not in default under the pledge agreement that it entered into with GBS, Urban Spaces does not presently have funds available to pay GBS when required to do so. The amount of the funds required for UPLLC to pay its obligation to GBS (assuming that its agreement with GBS is not amended) is included in the $1 million that the Company will require to fund its operations for the next 12 months. The Company plans to obtain such funds through the sale of debt or equity securities and from any profits that it receives from the Chacabuco project, rather than from preconstruction sales of condominiums and/or deposits on condominium units sold after construction of its other projects commence but before these units are delivered. In the event that we are unable to pay GBS when required to do so, we intend to ask for further extensions of due dates, but GBS is obligated to do so only if and to the extent that the 9 units comprising the Chacabuco project continue to be undelivered. Further, the Company has no information as to whether or on what terms any such extension would be granted.

We can give no assurance that any of the funding described above will be available on acceptable terms, or available at all. If we are unable to raise funds in sufficient amount, when required or on acceptable terms, we may have to significantly reduce, or discontinue, our operations. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities or securities that are convertible into the Company’s equity securities, its stockholders may experience significant dilution.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements 

We currently do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide information under this item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of June 30, 2014. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date, at a reasonable level of assurance, in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (i) accumulated and communicated to our management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. We have assessed the effectiveness of those internal controls as of June 30, 2014, using the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) Internal Control – Integrated Framework as a basis for our assessment.

Because of 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 and 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.

A material weakness in internal controls is a deficiency in internal control, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects our ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. In the course of making our assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. This material weakness consisted of an insufficiency of employees who have bookkeeping and accounting experience. This is a weakness because it could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters or could lead to a failure to perform timely and effective reviews.

As we are not aware of any instance in which we failed to identify or resolve a disclosure matter or failed to perform a timely and effective review, we determined that the addition of personnel to our bookkeeping and accounting operations is not an efficient use of our very limited resources at this time and not in the interest of our stockholders.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
