Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2013 and notes thereto contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 25, 2014.
Development Stage Company
The Company was a development stage company as defined by section 915-10-20 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification. The Company is still devoting substantially all of its efforts on establishing the business and, therefore, qualifies as a development stage company. All losses accumulated from July 6, 2010 (inception) have been considered as part of the Companys development stage activities.
F-6
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 reporting amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
The Companys significant estimates and assumptions include the fair value of financial instruments; income tax rate, income tax provision, deferred tax assets and valuation allowance of deferred tax assets; reporting currency, functional currency of the Company's HK SAR subsidiary and foreign currency exchange rate and the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. Those significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to those estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and has adopted 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 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (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 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) 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 (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification 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. |
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.
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. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
F-7
The carrying amounts of the Companys financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm's-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm's-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Related Parties
The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Pursuant to section 850-10-20 the related parties include a) affiliates of the Company; b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of section 8251015, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company; f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g. other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d) amount due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Companys financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
F-8
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time, that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Companys business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.
Revenue Recognition
The Company applies paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. 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 product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
Income Tax Provision
The Company adopted the provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Paragraph 740-10-25-13.addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under paragraph 740-10-25-13, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13.
The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.
Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In addition, the Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. In managements opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.
Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no adjustments to its income tax liabilities or benefits pursuant to the provisions of Section 740-10-25 for the interim period ended March 31, 2014.
Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent shares issuance arrangement, stock options or warrants.
There were no potentially outstanding dilutive shares for the interim periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
F-9
Cash Flows Reporting
The Company adopted paragraph 230-10-45-24 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for cash flows reporting, classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category, and uses the indirect or reconciliation method (Indirect method) as defined by paragraph 230-10-45-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net income that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments. The Company reports the reporting currency equivalent of foreign currency cash flows, using the current exchange rate at the time of the cash flows and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash held in foreign currencies is reported as a separate item in the reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of cash and cash equivalents and separately provides information about investing and financing activities not resulting in cash receipts or payments in the period pursuant to paragraph 830-230-45-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.
Subsequent Events
The Company follows the guidance in Section 855-10-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will evaluate subsequent events through the date when the financial statements were issued. Pursuant to ASU 2010-09 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the Company as an SEC filer considers its financial statements issued when they are widely distributed to users, such as through filing them on EDGAR.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Tax (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This ASU provides guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013.
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The amendments in this Update change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations in Subtopic 205-20.
Under the new guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as a disposal of a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entitys operations and financial results. The ASU states that a strategic shift could include a disposal of (i) a major geographical area of operations, (ii) a major line of business, (iii) a major equity method investment, or (iv) other major parts of an entity. Although major is not defined, the standard provides examples of when a disposal qualifies as a discontinued operation.
The ASU also requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide more information about the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of discontinued operations. In addition, the ASU requires disclosure of the pre-tax profit or loss attributable to a disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation in the financial statements.
F-10
The ASU is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
Note 3 Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As reflected in the financial statements, the Company had a deficit accumulated during the development stage at March 31, 2014, a net loss and net cash used in operating activities for the year then ended. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
While the Company is attempting to commence operations and generate sufficient revenues, the Companys cash position may not be sufficient enough to support the Companys daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to commence operations and generate sufficient revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Companys ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues and its ability to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim financial statements and related notes for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors. For a description of our risks and uncertainties, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2014.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys December 31, 2013 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2014 and the same period last year are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years.
Overview
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 6, 2010 under the name Advanced Ventures Corp. and are a development stage company. Effective January 6, 2014, we effected a name change to Gold Union Inc. This name change was effective under Delaware General Corporation Law as of January 6, 2014, pursuant to a Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation that was filed with the State of Delaware, Division of Corporations office on January 6, 2014. On July 27, 2010, we entered into an exclusive worldwide patent sale agreement (the Patent Transfer and Sales Agreement) with Ilanit Appelfeld (the Seller), in relation to a patented technology, U.S. Patent Number: 6,743,209 (the Patent), for a catheter with a integral anchoring mechanism. The patented technology has the potential to be adopted as a standard in all medical facilities, making a decisive contribution towards significantly and reliably securing a urethral catheter to the outside of a patients body in order to prevent or restrict undesirable movement or displacement of the catheter. The invention concept is flexible enough that it can be applied to humans as well as to animals, thus further increasing the marketing potential for a product based on the Patent.
Based on the Patent, we believe that this apparatus will help prevent or restrict undesirable movement or displacement of a catheter. However, until we can successfully develop a prototype and test it, we cannot currently estimate the full extent of the benefits to be gained from this apparatus.
The patent and technology were transferred to us in exchange of payment to Ilanit Appelfeld of $17,500 (seventeen thousand five hundred United States Dollars), according to the terms and conditions specified in the Patent Transfer and Sales Agreement related to U.S. Patent Number: 6,743,209.
The invention that is the subject of the Patent is for a catheter with an integral anchoring means which is secured to the outside of a human or other animal body by suturing, tying or taping to a tubular, depression-shaped anchor member that is integrally formed during manufacture with the forming of the catheter, resulting in a one-piece multipurpose combination construction unit.
We maintain our statutory registered agents office at Delaware Intercorp, Inc. 113 Barksdale Professional Center, Newark, DE, 19711 and our business office is located at Shop 35A, Ground Floor, Hop Yick Commercial Centre Phase 1, 33 Hop Choi Street, Yuen Long, NT, Hong Kong.

Our Business
We acquired the patented technology to a catheter with an integral anchoring means which is secured to the outside of a human or other animal body by suturing, tying or taping to a tubular, depression-shaped anchor member that is integrally formed during manufacture with the forming of such catheter. To be effective a catheter with integral anchoring means must be easy to use and must be cost effective. Moreover, we believe that this catheter with integral anchoring means should greatly reduce bacterial growth and infection. With the foregoing in mind, it would be greatly advantageous to provide a catheter with an integral anchoring means that overcomes these costs and housekeeping problems associated with previous anchoring means, by operating with a standard catheter.
Based on the Patent, we believe that this apparatus will significantly reduce bacterial growth and infection. However, until we can successfully develop a prototype and test it, we cannot currently estimate the full extent of the benefits to be gained from this apparatus.
Our potential device is based on attaching urethral catheters to or at the outside of a human or other animal body by suturing, tying or taping to a tubular depression-shaped anchor member that is simultaneously and integrally constructively formed with the catheter tube proper during manufacture resulting in a single one-piece solitary tapered combination construction unit with no breaks or divisions. We believe it would be more advantageous that this tubular depression-shaped anchor member of the catheter be integrally formed during manufacture with the forming of the overall catheter resulting in a one-piece urethral catheter construction unit. The former construction requires the manufacture and assembly of multiple components in order to produce an equal unit. We believe the built-in tubular depression-shaped anchor member of this catheter requires less production material than that of other patents thereby significantly reducing manufacturing costs. Also there are no individual or additional anchoring components to inspect, test, sterilize, package or distribute. We intended to develop a fully operational valid working prototype, which could then be used to develop and manufacture the actual product. However, until we can successfully develop a prototype and test it, we cannot currently estimate the full extent of the benefits to be gained from this particular apparatus.
At this time we are considering other business opportunities that may bring quicker and greater value to our stockholders. Therefore, we intend to engage in the business of trading precious metal bullion. We intend to become involved in precious metal bullion trading primarily in the Asia Pacific region. We anticipate such business to be carried on through subsidiaries, which are expected to buy gold and silver bullion from refiners and subsequently sell the bullion to anticipated customers. Therefore, effective January 6, 2014, we changed our name to Gold Union Inc. to more adequately reflect our intended business operations.
During the second quarter of 2011 the Company raised gross proceeds of $75,000 pursuant to an effective Form S-1 Registration Statement and issued 37,500,000 post forward stock split shares of common stock that were registered pursuant to the Form S-1 Registration Statement.
Intellectual Property
On July 27, 2010, we signed a Patent Transfer and Sales Agreement with Ilanit Appelfeld, in relation to a patented technology (U.S. Patent number: 6,743,209), wherein we purchased all rights, title and interest in, a receptacle catheter with integral anchoring means. U.S. Patent Number 6,743,209 was issued on June 1, 2004 and will expire on June 6, 2022.
Employees
We currently do not have any full time or part time employees. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Sae-Chua Supachai, is expected to work up to approximately five hours per week. If, and when, we develop our business of trading precious metal bullion, and are able to generate revenues from such intended business, we expect that Mr. Supachai will devote substantially more than five hours per week to our operations, and we may need to hire additional officers and employees for such operations.

Transfer Agent
We have engaged Nevada Agency and Transfer Company as our stock transfer agent. Nevada Agency and Transfer Company is located at 50 West Liberty Street, Reno, Nevada 89501. Their telephone number is (775) 322-0626 and their fax number is (775) 322-5623. The transfer agent is responsible for all record-keeping and administrative functions in connection with our issued and outstanding common stock.
Research and Development
We have incurred minimal research and development expenses to date and do not plan to undertake additional research and development activities during the next twelve months.
Subsidiaries
On March 27, 2012, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Advanced Ventures (HK) Ltd., under the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region ("HK SAR") of the People's Republic of China ("PRC"). However, on November 1, 2013, we dissolved Advanced Ventures (HK) Ltd. which was inactive during its existence.
Plan of Operations
We intended to develop a working prototype for our patented technology, however, we now intend to engage in the business of trading precious metal bullion. We intend to become involved in precious metal bullion trading primarily in the Asia Pacific region. We anticipate such business to be carried on through subsidiaries, which are expected to buy gold and silver bullion from refiners and subsequently sell the bullion to anticipated customers.
Financial Condition
During the twelve-month period following the date of this quarterly report, we anticipate that we will not generate any revenue. Accordingly, we will be required to obtain additional financing in order to pursue our plan of operations during and beyond the next twelve months. We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding as we do not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock or shareholder loans. However, we do not have any financing arranged and we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock or shareholder loans to develop a working prototype for the patented technology. In the absence of such financing, we will not be able to continue moving forward with developing a working prototype of the catheter with an integral anchoring means and our business plan will fail.
Results of Operations
The following table sets forth our results of operations from inception on July 6, 2010 to March 31, 2014 as well as for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 Compared to Three Months Ended March31, 2013
During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we did not generate any revenue.
During the three month period ended March 31, 2014, our operating expenses consisted of professional fees of $26,181 (2013: $13,090).
This resulted in a net operating loss of ($26,181) during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to a net operating loss of ($13,090) during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
During the three month period ended March 31, 2014, we recorded other income in the amount of $708 compared to a loss on other expenses recorded during the three month period ended March 31, 2013 in the amount of $357. The other income during the three month period ended March 31, 2014 consisted of a $708 gain in foreign currency transactions as compared to a $161 loss in foreign currency transactions and $196 in interest expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2013.
This resulted in a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014 of ($25,473) compared to a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2013 of ($13,447).
The increase in net loss of ($12,026) during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 is attributable primarily to the increase in professional fees.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
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.
As of March 31, 2014, our current assets were $141 and our current liabilities were $72,519, resulting in a working capital deficit of ($72,378). As of March 31, 2014, our total assets were $141 compared to total assets of $525 as of December 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2014, our current liabilities were $72,519 compared to current liabilities of $47,430 as of December 31, 2013. Our current liabilities consisted of $21,419 in accounts payable and accrued expenses and $51,100 in advances from stockholders.
Stockholders deficit increased from ($46,905) as of December 31, 2013 to ($72,378) as of March 31, 2014.
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, net cash used in operating activities was ($32,984) compared to net cash used in operating activities of ($22,326) for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 consisted primarily of a net loss of ($25,473) adjusted by $7,511 of changes to accrued expenses. Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013 consisted of a net loss of ($13,477) adjusted by $8,879 of changes to accrued expenses.
16
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, net cash provided from financing activities was $32,600 compared to net cash provided from financing activities of $22,025 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Net cash provided from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 consisted of $32,600 from the advances from stockholders.
Going Concern
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue the development of a working prototype of our patented technology. For these reasons our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 that they have substantial doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Future Financings
We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common shares and shareholder loans in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our plan of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant 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 is material to stockholders.
