PART I
Item 1. Business
Company Overview
We were incorporated as Bespoke Tricycles Inc. on August 8, 2011 in the State of Nevada for the purpose of designing, manufacturing, and selling vending tricycles for commercial customers. We operate through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Bespoke Tricycles, Ltd., a company organized under the Laws of England and Wales. On August 10, 2011, we purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of Bespoke Tricycles, Ltd. from our current officer and director, John Goodhew, in exchange for 5,000,000 shares of our common stock.
Our operating subsidiary has been manufacturing vending tricycles for over 3 years. We have fabricated and sold approximately 250 units to date. The majority of sales have been through third party e-commerce sites such as EBay, Gumtree and Amazon. Limited funding has restricted our supply levels to date.
We have acquired a patent in the United Kingdom for a collapsible front loading vending tricycle (Intellectual Property Office patent number GB1002964.3). Because of the unique design of our collapsible tricycles, we benefit from reduced packaging and shipping costs, enabling us to access a global market. We believe our ability to ship our products internationally with relative low cost is one of our competitive advantages.
Our overall aim is to manufacture a professional vending tricycle that is ideal for small start up businesses to trade from and for larger companies for marketing or promotional reasons. Our goal is to provide customers with quality tricycles that will help them turn a healthy profit in a time where other career paths are restricted and more people are looking to set up their own businesses.
Products & Services
Vending Tricycles
We design and manufacture vending tricycles. Although the traditional use for these tricycles is often remembered as the traditional stop me and buy one ice cream tricycles, the number of uses for these eco-friendly mobile retailing units is wide ranging. They can be used as mobile retailing units that are self contained and able to operate in a fixed or portable position. Previously, our clients have used our tricycles for mobile vending, street cleaning, parcel delivery, and eco friendly transport. Sales have been made to Germany, Spain, Ireland, and the US.
Our tricycles can be used by individuals and established businesses to sell a range of products, from ice cream to hot dogs and from jewelry to flowers. These tricycles have also been acquired by large communication companies and water companies to promote their product at particular events or occasions.
We incorporate a unique patented design that allows the tricycle to be collapsed and folded flat for efficient delivery, transportation and storage. Below is a picture of one of our collapsible tricycles.
4
This design has allowed us to expand sales both nationally and internationally. We are currently scaling up the number of components that are being fabricated by third parties. We believe this will ensure professional finishes to the product and help to increase our sales revenues. This in combination with our planned online marketing strategy we hope will ensure our ability to grow and to deliver to a worldwide market.
We offer both single speed and 7 speed tricycles to our customers. Our 7 speed model, with its 7 speed Shimano gearing system, large 26in wheels, triple braking system and increased load caring area, provide the user with greater control over more challenging terrain, while the 7 speed gearing system makes shifting larger loads easier.
Longtail Bike
We also have in our product base a patented longtail bicycle. The rear rack of this bicycle features a whopping 120cm x 20cm upper platform and two (removable) 100cm x 16cm lower platforms that are capable of carrying a wide range of boxes or bags.
5
Our aim is to offer an affordable longtail bicycle with and extra-large carrying capacity to assist mobile businesses or individuals that require the ability to transport heavy and often bulky items. The bike has a 26 steel frame and can be converted from a tandem to a longtail and vice versa, with minimal fuss. This functionality effectively provides customers with two for the price of one, as the bike may be converted to suit customer needs. Those components that are included but not photographed include: an additional saddle, seat post, handlebars and pedals.
The bike features an 18 speed Shimano gearing system with grip shifters (which customers find useful when transporting heavy loads). Our longtail bicycle is the ultimate in two-wheeled urban utility.
Cargo Trailers
We have developed a bicycle cargo trailer that can be used in conjunction with our tricycles or any other adult bicycle. The extra-large carrying platform (4ft x 2ft) makes our bicycle cargo trailer one of the largest available and we believe it is competitively priced. Our cargo/ utility trailers are ideal for hauling large cargo around in a comfortable and eco-friendly manner. Loads can be transported in areas that cars and vans may not be able to access.
6
The trailer can be fastened to the bed of the bicycle trailer using bungees, clips or ties and the expanded mesh platform allows for an easy to attach and non-slip carrying area. The large size of our carrying platform means that this trailer can accommodate much larger loads that other smaller cargo trailers may not be able to take.
Display Plinths and Winter Boxes
We also carry display plinths and winter boxes. Our display plinth incorporates a removable tray that allows access to the lower storage section of the box. This tray makes for a suitable preparation/ display platform for a wide range of products. Customers have adapted our display plinths in the past to accommodate coffee machines, griddles and other such equipment. Once constructed the display plinth can be painted or sealed to accommodate an additional eye catching vinyl graphic.
We have introduced a winter box that can accommodate two soup kettles (caldrons) and will keep products like soup, stews, mulled wine and cider constantly warm. Each box is made to accommodate the carrying platform of our tricycles and have two appropriately cut holes for the two soup kettles. Inside the box is a storage space suitable for additional stock or a suitcase generator to keep the kettles powered. The outside of the box can be painted in chalkboard paint to allow for an eye-catching and flexible display board.
Hot Dog Tricycle
Our recently introduced Hot Dog Tricycles have proven to be a huge success, especially over the colder months of the year. The simple but effective design is not only eye catching but also highly functional. The integrated granite chopping board, cold storage bin and sleek serving platform all act as clever but practical features that will allow you to sell you products effortlessly and without fuss. The circular kettle barbecue is charcoal powered and so will give that genuine barbecue taste to whichever product you decide to sell. It is an effective and delicious way of cooking and the two-tier cooking shelves allow you to cook new items, while keeping those that are already cooked warm for service.
You can easily change the products you wish to sell and can therefore test the market without incurring further cost. Some proven products you may wish to consider include. The portable and self-contained nature of this business solution will allow you to roll up to your site and set up quickly, without the fuss of having to erect further items such gazebos, tables or displays.
Market Analysis
Our founder, John Goodhew, has been making vending tricycles for over 3 years and has successfully marketed and sold tricycles internationally.
Our tricycles are a cheaper alternative ($1,200/$1,500) to other tricycle manufacturers. As well as being cheaper than other competitors tricycles, e.g., Pashley $4,000-$6,000, Bespoke Tricycles incorporates a unique patented design, which is the products unique selling point (USP), which allows the tricycle to be collapsed and folded flat for efficient delivery, transportation and storage. This USP has also allowed Bespoke Tricycles Inc. to be competitive in both the national and international market place.
We believe these two competitive advantages (effective pricing and the collapsible design) places Bespoke Tricycle Inc. in a good position for expansion.
The majority of our sales (approximately 80%) come in the summer months from clients in Europe and the
7
Americas (UK, France, Germany, Spain, Ireland and the US.) However, during the last financial year approximately 90% of sales have been to businesses and individuals located in the UK. Despite this trend we are still seeing encouraging levels of global interest. Traditionally our sales have been through third party ecommerce sites such as eBay, Gumtree and Amazon. However, during the last fiscal year as a result of the launch of our corporate website and targeted marketing approximately 95% of sales come directly through the corporate website (http://www.bespoketricycles.com/). We currently only accept payment through Paypal on our corporate website although we are exploring the possibility of changing to SagePay as they offer more a favourable pricing structure. We believe that the cost and size of our vending tricycles will be appealing for people currently wishing to start their own small business.
Vending tricycles can be a mobile or fixed position retail unit that clearly shows and displays its products in a unique and eye catching manner. We hope to target people setting up their own small scale businesses. We believe that this as the ideal environment to sell our products, as for many it is a solution to financial hardship.
Manufacturing
We have a small workshop that serves as our manufacturing facility. We have a number of components for our tricycles that have been contracted out to other fabricators. We assemble these components at our facility, which is capable enough at the present time for our needs. As demand for our tricycles increases, however, we will need a larger workshop to assemble our products. Having investigated various suitable premises and calculating the required square footage necessary to further develop and increase production we have decided the facilities we currently have are suitable for the short-term. As we outsource the majority of the production the facilities we have are suitable for assembly and storage given current demand, lead times and efficiency of current assembly. We will continue to assess this matter on a regular basis and take necessary action when required. We are also exploring outsourcing the assembly of our products depending on the cost of having a third party perform that function.
Marketing
Our plan is to position Bespoke Tricycles Inc as a reputable tricycle manufacturer that offers affordable and quality tricycles. We have developed a website (http://www.bespoketricycles.com/) where we offer our products. Currently we have limited access to a world market due to the lack of funding that such a drive would require. We have designed and researched a strategy for this but have limited funds to introduce it. With the growth that we are planning we hope to focus more on this.
We have added additional products to enhance our product line and we believe that will improve our image and generate more sales. We aim to soften the seasonal sway in sales by offering a greater ranges of products, including our cargo trailers, display plinths and winter boxes.
We are also interested in reaching a variety of customers that require our products in bulk order. We hope to be able to target postal companies that need cargo tricycles in congested urban traffic areas. Currently, larger international courier companies are using tricycles in order to make their way through congested parts of large cities to deliver parcels quietly and efficiently. We believe this method of delivery is a great alternative for any business that needs to make local deliveries in crowded urban areas. Tricycles can also be considered to be economically suitable and sustainable option for urban delivery companies.
We also aim to launch an eco-friendly marketing campaign which will illustrate some of the many uses available for our products. In addition to selling tricycles we also intend to provide potential customers with
8
start up business ideas and guidance on how to start-up a small business. We aim to do this through information packs available when purchasing.
One of the key benefits of Bespoke Tricycles Incs tricycles is that they reduce the users dependency on fossil fuels. Particularly in high density urban areas as they serve as a green solution is important to individuals and businesses needing a mobile unit for retail, delivery or servicing needs. It is hoped that Bespoke Tricycles Inc will not only supply individuals and business in the setting up and running of green enterprises, but will also do its bit for the environment as well.
Our marketing plan will include advertisement on the internet and sites that are already a popular place for potential customers. We also aim to develop cost effective marketing through online social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. Currently the website is only available in English but we plan to make it accessible in a range of languages in order to reach worldwide sales.
There are also a number of publications in the area of entrepreneurialism that Bespoke Tricycles Inc would like to advertise in, such publications are common place in the UK, Europe and the United States and would therefore be a more strategic and cost effective marketing approach.
Sales Strategy
Bespoke Tricycles Inc will continue to build its sales based on online orders, both through third party e-commerce sites and its own website. The strategy will begin with fulfilling the current demand from the United Kingdom before branching out to Europe and the United States. As the reach of our sales grows, more funding will be directed to marketing and sales strategy.
Under the direction of the executive management, we may target larger events, organizations or businesses to highlight the beneficial features our products could bring to these companies. We have made further sales to Selfridges & Co (a chain of high end department stores in the United Kingdom) who have purchased several of our tricycles and have customized them using a vinyl graphic wrap. The tricycles have been on display in all Selfridges stores for the summer of 2012 , 2013 and 2014 and were being used to distribute Champagne and cold drinks to its customers. We have seen an increased demand from cafes and ice cream shops in particular. 3 units were sold in 2014 to Warner Brother Pictures who used them in a movie (Edge of Tomorrow - All You Need is Kill starring Tom Cruise).
There are also a number of business-to-business websites that we would like to advertise our products. Interest in these areas may give rise to orders and sales as the people interested tend to relate to medium to large sized businesses.
Competition
We are currently cheaper than other competitors tricycles (Pashley $4,000-$6,000, Morrison $3,000, Business on Wheels $3,200). We have also incorporated a unique patented design that allows the tricycle to be collapsed and folded flat for efficient delivery, transportation and storage. This unique selling point has also allowed us to expand our sales both national and internationally, as we are able to deliver abroad in a standard adult bike boxthus saving the significant transportation costs that other tricycles brands such as Pashley may incur.
Such commercial tricycles tend to be expensive costing between $3,000 and $6,000, they are also bulky and oversized with no easily detachable components to allow the operator to quickly and easily reduce the dimensions of the tricycle down to more appropriate dimension for storage or transportation purposes.
9
Our competitive advantage is mainly in two partscost effectiveness ($1,200-$1,500 per unit) which undercuts our nearest competitors by approximately $2,000 with a profit on approximately $700 on each unit. Also due to the patented design we are able to reach international demand by providing a relatively small shipping cost. Further competitive advantages that we have worked on recently are adding a new tricycle product and making our website more navigable. We will also provide all the necessary equipment to set up and run an effective vending business thus utilizing our own experiences of selling a wide range of products from these units.
Item 2. Properties
We do not own any real property. We maintain our corporate office at 145-147 St. John Street, London, United Kingdom EC1V 4PW.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding. We are not aware of any pending legal proceeding to which any of our officers, directors, or any beneficial holders of 5% or more of our voting securities are adverse to us or have a material interest adverse to us.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable.
PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrants Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
No Public Market for Common Stock
There is presently no public market for our common stock. We obtained a symbol, BPSR, and we are quoted on the OTCQB operating by OTC Markets Group, Inc. So far, there has been no trading in our common stock. We can provide no assurance that a public market will materialize.
The Securities Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;(b) contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of Securities' laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;(d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;(e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and;(f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation.
10
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with; (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;(b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;(c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock if it becomes subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, because our common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.
Holders of Our Common Stock
As of February 17, 2015, we had 8,340,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, held by 28 shareholder of record.
Dividends
There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:
1.
we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or;
2.
our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.
We have not declared any dividends and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.
Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
We do not have any equity compensation plans.
Item 6. Selected Financial Data
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements
11
relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words believes, project, expects, anticipates, estimates, intends, strategy, plan, may, will, would, will be, will continue, will likely result, and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse affect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.
Our Plan for the Next 12 Months
The following is a list of business goals and milestones we wish to accomplish within the next three years.
§
Secure additional funding to increase production
§
Purchase machinery, equipment and supplies to increase and bring production in-house to manage costs effectively
§
Hire skilled employees to complete our team
§
Improve and expand the product range and online shop for business
§
Successfully penetrate targeted markets
§
Secure contracts to achieve projected sales goals
§
Establish a solid reputation as a manufacturing leader
While we have experienced stable sales we would like to secure additional funding to enable us to increase the scale of our production. This is our primary focus. We are on the way to establishing our brand and company both in the United Kingdom and internationally. This is evidenced by the quality of customers we have, the referrals we are seeing and the lack of returns and customer complaints. We intend to continue to develop and manufacture quality products to ensure our brand become sysnonymous with quality.
While the efficiency of our assembly production and small lead times means we can produce new tricycles quickly should we secure sufficient funding we intend to lease a suitable storage/workshop space in south London. This would allow us to bring some of the production in house rather than out sourcing. There are many suitable spaces available from disused railway areches that can be leased from Transport for London website to private untis leased by indivduals. The approximate cost of a suitable unit is between $8,000 and $10,000 per year. We will continue to monitor demand, sales, lead times and assess if leasing is economically viable throughout 2015.
With regards to new machinery, we have historically identified various machines that would increase production capacity. However as we currently outsource the majority of our production we do not currently require additional machinery. However should we secure additional funding we would use approximately $30,000 for facility upgrades, materials and inventories. These facility upgrades and inventory expenditures will be purchased immediately upon receipt of funding.
12
We currently subcontract the majority of the manufacturing process. Depending on the level of proceeds received we would like to bring these processes in house. This would require hiring suitably skilled welders, spray painters, tooling experts and a metalsmith. We will use specialized engineering recruitment consultants to find such skilled individuals and will provide suitable training where necessary. We estimate a part-time individuals meeting our requirements will cost approximately $50,000 per annum and full time individuals would cost approximately $100,000. Should we raise sufficient funding we would start recruiting immediately. Alternatively we could continue to outsource the manufacturing process until such a time those full time employees are financially viable. We would expect this to be within the next 12-24 months though organic growth should we not receive sufficient funding to recruit. Required training will be funded through revenues or proceeds of securities sold and employees will be sent on formal training courses offered by suitable industry trainers. Should we not receive the required proceeds the company will continue to use current skilled suppliers to complete the production of the bikes.
We have seen an increased amount of sales through our corporate wbesite and we intend to continue to increase our online marketing and web presence. We currently utilise Google Adwords to advertise our products. We have worked with a specialist search engine optimization and marketing expert to help penetrate new market opportunities in the US, UK and other countries. We intend to focus this effort in the future to increase international sales. We estimate initially this will cost $3,000. We intend to develop online global campaigns using Google ad words which allows you to target potential customers by topic, location and language. Google Adwords allows you to choose where your ad appears, on which specific websites and in which geographical areas (states, towns, or even neighborhoods), allowing for targeted marketing. Words which we will use for the search will include tricycles, ice cream tricycles, concession carts, vending carts, hot dog carts and other similar concepts that are popular in different countries/languages. We do not believe that a formal advertising campaign in newspapers and magazines to promote our products is as cost effective as the aforementioned routes so will not persue this type of advertising.
We have seen exceptional results from Google Adwords in the UK and intend to develop some basic advertising campaigns to specifically target the USA and Europe. The size and length of this campaign will depend on available funding.
We continue to aim to soften the seasonal sway in sales by developing additional boxes that can be bought from our website that allow a range of pre-established products to be sold from the tricycles. This flexibility will allow customers as well as Bespoke Tricycle Inc to stay atop trends or changes in desires from customers. We now sell 3 different models and now offer a cargo trailer which has been designed in house. We intend to explore further diversification in 2015 as we continue to experiment with different cargo carrying cycle ideas. We are also working to develop a winter product to sell during the colder months. We are currently working on developing a hot dog tricycle. A proportion of any additional funding would be allocated on developing a wider product range as well as testing these products the market. During the winter of 2014 we started manufacturing table legs and made sales of some 60 untis. We are continuing to develop new products to ease this seasonal sway.
We intend to continue selling tricycles to our main UK audience as well as develop a more US, European customer base and thereafter the rest of the world. One factor that might make take away our competitive advantage in such a global market will be shipping costs. We may therefore investigate outsourcing manufacturing of the tricycles while protecting our patent globally. Through design research and development we hope to increase our range and therefore target market by modifying the current design to facilitate modified tricycles to a wider market.
13
Our available funds combined with revenues will not fund our activities for the next twelve months. As of October 31, 2014, our current cash on hand is $244.00 with inventories of $10,693. Our current monthly burn rate is approximately $ 1,265per month. Based on our current burn rate, we will run out of funds soon without additional capital and assuming revenues based on past performance during that period. If we fail to raise sufficient funds in this offering, investors may lose their entire cash investment.
Results of Operations for the Years Ended October 31, 2014 and 2013
Revenues
Our total revenue reported for the year ended October 31, 2014 was $ 49,198, a decrease from $82,968 for the year ended October 31, 2013. Management believes the decrease in revenues for the year ended October 31, 2014 is a result of lower summer sales. We expect revenues to increase for the year ended October 31, 2015 as a result of increased sales resulting from improved marketing, new product designs and higher quality production.
Cost of Goods Sold
Our cost of goods sold for the year ended October 31, 2014 decreased to $20,059 from the prior year when cost of goods sold was $ 44,439. The decrease in our cost of goods sold for the year ended October 31, 2014 from the prior year is attributable to decreased units produced and more efficient builds of the products.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the year ended October 31, 2014 was $ 29,139, or approximately 59% of sales. Gross profit for the year ended October 31, 2013 was $ 38,529, or approximately 46% of sales.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased to $ 95,614_ for the year ended October 31, 2014 from $70,705 for the year ended October 31, 2013. Our operating expenses for the year ended October 31, 2014 consisted of professional fees in the amount of $59,121 and general and administrative expenses of $36,493. In comparison, our operating expenses for the year ended October 31, 2013 consisted of professional fees in the amount of $27,050 and general and administrative expenses of $ 43,655.
We anticipate our operating expenses will increase as we undertake our plan of operations. The increase will be primarily attributable to the continued development, marketing and sale of our products.
Net Loss
Net loss for the year ended October 31, 2014 was $65,817 compared to net loss of $32,175 for the year ended October 31, 2013.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of October 31, 2014, we had total current assets of $10,937, consisting of cash and inventories. We had current liabilities of $63,198 as of October 31, 2014. Accordingly, we had a working capital deficit of $52,261 as of October 31, 2014.
14
Operating activities used $64,738 in cash for the year ended October 31, 2014, as compared with $29,951 for the year ended October 31, 2013. Our negative operating cash flow for both periods was mainly a result of our net loss , decrease in inventories and decrease in accounts payable for both periods.
Financing activities for the year ended October 31, 2014 generated $46,812 in cash, as compared with cash flows provided by financing activities of $42,000 for the year ended October 31, 2013. Our Negative cash flow for year ended October 31, 2014 was the result of our net loss overall. Our positive cash flow for the year ended October 31, 2013 was the result of proceeds from the sale of our common stock.
As of October 31, 2014, we had $244 in cash. Until we are able to sustain our ongoing operations through sales revenue, we intend to fund operations through debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund our capital expenditures, working capital, or other cash requirements. We do not have any formal commitments or arrangements for the sales of stock or the advancement or loan of funds at this time. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.
Going Concern
We have limited revenues as of October 31, 2014 and negative working capital of $52,261. We currently have not completed our efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time.
Management anticipates that we will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund operating expenses. We intend to position the company so that we may be able to raise additional funds through the capital markets. In light of managements efforts, there are no assurances that we will be successful in this or any of our endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies
In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most critical accounting polices in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a critical accounting policy is one which is both important to the portrayal of a companys financial condition and results, and requires managements most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. We do not believe that any accounting policies currently fit this definition.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of October 31, 2014, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of Bespoke Tricycles, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Bespoke Tricycle, Inc. as of October 31, 2014 and the related consolidated statements of operations, other comprehensive income, stockholders equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year ended October 31, 2014 Bespoke Tricycle, Inc.s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bespoke Tricycle, Inc. as of October 31, 2014, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended October 31, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the entity will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 9 to the financial statements, the entity has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 9. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR YEARS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2014 AND 2013
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Bespoke Tricycles Inc. was incorporated on August 8, 2011 in the State of Nevada for the purpose of designing, manufacturing, and selling vending tricycles for commercial customers. We operate through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Bespoke Tricycles, Ltd., a company organized under the Laws of England and Wales. On August 9, 2011 Bespoke Tricycles Inc. purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of Bespoke Tricycles, Ltd. from our current officer and director, John Goodhew, in exchange for 5,000,000 shares of our common stock.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Basis
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP accounting). The Company has adopted an October 31 fiscal year end.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, inventories, and accounts payable. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company continually monitors its banking relationships and consequently has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from the estimates.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Inventories
Inventories consist of tricycles and related parts, and are stated at lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a weighted average method.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues when delivery of goods or completion of services has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, acceptance has been approved by its customers, the fee is fixed or determinable based on the completion of stated terms and conditions, and collection of any related receivable is reasonably assured.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. It is the Companys policy to classify interest and penalties on income taxes as interest expense or penalties expense. As of October 31,2014 and 2013, there have been no interest or penalties incurred on income taxes.
Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Companys net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Companys net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There are no such common stock equivalents outstanding as of October 31, 2014 and 2013.
Dividends
The Company has not adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid during the periods shown.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation Stock Compensation which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered. There has been no stock-based compensation issued to employees.
The Company follows ASC Topic 505-50, formerly EITF 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods and Services, for stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees. In accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, these stock options and warrants issued as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based upon the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever can be more clearly determined. There has been no stock-based compensation issued to non-employees.

NOTE 9 LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company had limited revenues as of October 31, 2014. The Company currently has negative working capital, and has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time.
Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund operating expenses. The Company intends to position itself so that it may be able to raise additional funds through the capital markets. In light of managements efforts, there are no assurances that the Company will be successful in this or any of its endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern.
NOTE 10 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In accordance with ASC 855-10, the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to October 31, 2014 to the date these financial statements were issued, and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
On August 4, 2014, Silberstein Ungar, PLLC notified us that its principals joined the accounting firm of KLJ & Associates, LLP. As a result of the transaction, on August 4, 2014, Silberstein Ungar, PLLC resigned as our independent registered public accounting firm and we engaged KLJ & Associates, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm.
Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated our companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, our sole chief executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of October 31, 2014, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by our company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities Exchange Commission and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our companys management, including our companys principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective was due to the presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as identified below under the heading Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Management anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated. Our company intends to remediate the material weaknesses as set out below.
Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our companys management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) for our company. Our companys internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance, not absolute assurance, regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our companys assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and that our companys receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our Management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting as of October 31,
17
2014 based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as at October 31, 2014 due to the following material weaknesses which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both United States generally accepted accounting principles and Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines. Management anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated.
Our company plans to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting. During the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending October 31, 2015, subject to obtaining additional financing: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out above are largely dependent upon our company securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely effected in a material manner.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for non-accelerated filers set forth in Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended October 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

PART III
Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance
The following information sets forth the name of our current director and executive officer, his age as of October 31, 2014 and his present positions.
Name | Age | Position Held with the Company |
John Goodhew | 30 | President, Chief Executive Officer, Principal Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, and Director |
Set forth below is a brief description of the background and business experience of our executive officer and director.
John Goodhew has been President, CEO and Director of our company since incorporation on August 8, 2011.
Mr. Goodhew has been a part time Geography teacher at the Sacred Heart Catholic School - a specialist Mathematics, Computing & Language College - from September 2007 to date, after having gained a place on the Teach First program. During this time Mr. Goodhew has taken on various responsibilities including: Head of House, Director of Business & Enterprise and heading up KS3 Geography.
In June 2009, Mr. Goodhew developed and sold his first commercial tricycle prototype. Mr. Goodhew had a patent published on August 24, 2011 to recognize his unique design for the tricycle, allowing it to be collapsed and easily shipped worldwide.
In 2006 Mr. Goodhew founded and developed a business that provided schools with access to a mobile gym, tackling issues of pupils' health whilst also addressing the often lack of space in inner city schools. Mr. Goodhew was awarded £4,000 from Unltd- for Social Enterprises in order to invest in this pursuit. He is not involved with the business anymore.
Mr. Goodhew is not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our affairs, but it is estimated that he will devote approximately 15 hours per week on our business.
Term of Office
Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board.
Significant Employees
We do not currently have any significant employees aside from John Goodhew.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships between or among the directors, executive officers or persons nominated or chosen by us to become directors or executive officers.
19
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
To the best of our knowledge, during the past ten years, none of the following occurred with respect to a present or former director, executive officer, or employee: (1) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) being subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his or her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and (4) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.
Committees of the Board
Our company currently does not have nominating, compensation or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor does our company have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our directors believe that it is not necessary to have such committees, at this time, because the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the board of directors.
Our company does not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. The board of directors believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. Our company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the board of directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The board of directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.
A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our board of directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to our President and director, John Goodhew, at the address appearing on the first page of this annual report.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To the best of our knowledge based solely on a review of Forms 3, 4, and 5 (and any amendments thereof) received by us during or with respect to the year ended October 31, 2014, the following persons have failed to file, on a timely basis, the identified reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during fiscal year ended October 31, 2014
Name and principal position | Number of late reports | Transactions not timely reported | Known failures to file a required form |

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
The following table sets forth certain information known to us with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of November 14, 2014, by (1) all persons who are beneficial owners of 5% or more of our voting securities, (2) each director, (3) each executive officer, and (4) all directors and executive officers as a group. The information regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock has been presented in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under these rules, a person may be deemed to beneficially own any shares of capital stock as to which such person, directly or indirectly, has or shares voting power or investment power, and to beneficially own any shares of our capital stock as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days through the exercise of any stock option or other right. The percentage of beneficial ownership as to any person as of a particular date is calculated by dividing (a) (i) the number of shares beneficially owned by such person plus (ii) the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60 days by (b) the total number of shares outstanding as of such date, plus any shares that such person has the right to acquire from us within 60 days. Including those shares in the tables does not, however, constitute an admission that the named stockholder is a direct or indirect beneficial owner of those shares. Unless otherwise indicated, each person or entity named in the table has sole voting power and investment power (or shares that power with that persons spouse) with respect to all shares of capital stock listed as owned by that person or entity.
22
Except as otherwise indicated, all Shares are owned directly and the percentage shown is based on 8,340,000 Shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of November 14, 2014.

Except as provided below, none of our directors or executive officers, nor any proposed nominee for election as a director, nor any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 5% of the voting rights attached to all of our outstanding shares, nor any members of the immediate family (including spouse, parents, children, siblings, and in-laws) of any of the foregoing persons has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction since the beginning of our last completed fiscal year or in any presently proposed transaction which, in either case, has or will materially affect us.
John Goodhew was paid $7,951 and $7,494 or storage rent during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
