Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements
Note 1—DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Pazoo, Inc. (“we”, “our”, “Pazoo” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with Pazoo’s audited 2013 annual financial statements and notes thereto filed on Form 10-K with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal reoccurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods present have been reflected herein. The results of operation for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements, which would substantially duplicate the disclosure required in Pazoo’s fiscal 2013 financial statements have been omitted.
Description of Business
We are an early growth stage health and wellness company. Presently, our primary business is pazoo.com, an online, content driven, ad supported health and wellness web site for people and their pets. Additionally, this site has e-commerce functionality which allows pazoo.com to be an online retailer of nutritional foods/supplements, wellness goods, and fitness apparel. Pazoo, Inc. does not have any brick and mortar establishments.
Note 2—GOING CONCERN
From inception of November 16, 2010 through September 30, 2014, the Company has incurred net losses of $4,912,712. This factor, among others, raises significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis and ultimately attain profitability. Management believes that we can alleviate the facts and circumstances which indicate a going concern by expanding our services, expert advice and online products. We aim to become more than a web based company by providing information, services and products through direct response, retail, and advertising revenue, in addition to our website.

The Company uses the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model to value its option based derivatives.
There were 5,000,000 common stock warrants outstanding on the date the convertible note agreement was entered into which became tainted. These warrants were valued using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model based upon the following assumptions: dividend yield of -0-%, volatility of 277%, risk free rate of 0.11% and an expected term equal to the remaining exercise term of the warrants. The fair value of the warrants at September 30, 2014 was $102,758.
Note 7—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DERIVATIVE LIABILIITY
The Company evaluates all of it financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. For option-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period.
Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Under ASC-815 the conversion options embedded in the notes payable described in Note 5 require liability classification because they do not contain an explicit limit to the number of shares that could be issued upon settlement.
During the period ending September 30, 2014, the Company entered into five convertible note agreements. The conversion option and the outstanding common stock warrants on that date which were tainted but the convertible notes were classified as derivative liabilities at their fair value on the date of issuance.
As defined in FASB ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilized the market data of similar entities in its industry or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. FASB ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.
Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date.
Level 3 - Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.
The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value at the period ending September 30, 2014.

Management intends the following discussion to assist in the understanding of our financial position and our results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013.
Overview
Pazoo (“Pazoo”) was incorporated in Nevada on November 16, 2010 under the name “IUCSS, Inc.” A name change from IUCSS, Inc. to Pazoo occurred on May 9, 2011. We are a health and wellness company. Presently, our primary business is Pazoo.com, an online, content driven, ad supported health and wellness web site for people and their pets. Additionally, this site has e-commerce functionality which allows Pazoo.com to be an online retailer of nutritional foods/supplements, wellness goods, and fitness apparel. Pazoo, Inc. does not have any brick and mortar establishments. At present our only revenue source is www.pazoo.com which generates product sales and online advertising revenue. As of September 30, 2014, we had total assets of $438,607and plan to make additional investments in online content.
The primary mission of pazoo.com is to deliver health and wellness content in the form of media, articles, blogs, videos and other media/content. Additionally, www.pazoo.com delivers healthy cost-effective nutritional products based on relationships with leading manufacturers in the health improvement industry. In other words, pazoo.com is a user-friendly, attractively designed web site and e-commerce portal for total health and wellness information and health products for individuals and their pets. We seek to enhance visitors’ experiences to our website by providing total health content and health products including foods, drinks, supplements, wellness merchandise, and health/wellness advice.

Sources of Revenue
We currently have three lines of business relating to and revolving around the health and wellness arena:
●
|
Advertising Revenue from Our Website, www.pazoo.com. Through advertising providers and agencies, pazoo.com is paid for every ad impression that appears on a page for which a visitor goes to. As we build our visitor base, ad revenue will increase. However, just having the traffic does not effectively increase advertising revenue. To get the full value of each visitor, the time on site must be long enough so that a visitor is interested in going to multiple pages for which there are ads on each page. The only way this will transpire is if the visitor’s experience is gratifying. This is why pazoo.com is so focused on quality content that’s interesting and informative. A bad visitor experience will result in a low time on site and fewer page views. Internet tracking tools have much improved over the past decade and will continue to improve in the coming years, especially when it comes to advertising and overall website analytics. Pazoo continues to constantly improve is this area at all times.
Pazoo.com has a unique and compelling online marketing platform. Pazoo.com offers the following important marketing advantages to its target audiences:
|
1.
|
A comprehensive solution as a content source – information on a full spectrum of disciplines within the health and wellness marketplace;
|
2.
|
Health and wellness experts that have expertise in these varied disciplines and write about their areas expertise; and
|
3.
|
Content that is both for the health and wellness of people as well as their pets (over 60% of American homes have pets).
|
●
|
E-commerce. Our e-commerce offerings will increase as we build the traffic coming to pazoo.com. In this way we could establish a revenue source over and above advertising to increase the value of each visitor. We have the following e-commerce elements ready for an activated marketing program:
|
1.
|
An e-commerce platform that is functional;
|
2.
|
Relationships with manufacturers, distributors and other e-commerce companies so that increasing product offerings will not be time consuming;
|
3.
|
Members on the pazoo.com content team with merchandising experience: i.e. a Pazoo expert is buyer of pet products for a large pet retailer; and
|
4.
|
Members on the pazoo.com content team that are experienced in e-commerce marketing; i.e. we will look to offer our consumers low cost and timely delivery of product by negotiating with shipping companies to offer a flat rates on various products.
|
●
|
Pharmaceutical Testing Facilities. We entered this arena through our recent acquisition of a 40% equity stake in MA & Associates, LLC. MA & Associates was launched in September of 2013 to provide quality control services to the medical cannabis industry. MA & Associates’ primary mission is to protect the public health by providing infrastructure and analytical services to legally authorized distributors and producers of cannabis and to regulators tracking their operations.
|
The company will provide the medical cannabis industry guidelines on how the regulation and inspection by public health authorities is to be implemented. MA & Associates’ primary customer base includes all of the licensed cannabis cultivators, in the State of Nevada, and their customers are required by law to have their products tested before they can be transferred to the dispensaries. As such, we are in a unique position to provide the mandated health and safety testing upon which this burgeoning industry must hinge.
Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2014 to the three months ended September 30, 2013
Net Sales. We had net sales of $20,874 and $16,919 in the three months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively. The revenue increase was attributed to the addition of advertising sales.
Cost of Goods Sold. We had cost of goods sold of $0 and $690 in the three months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively. The decrease was directly attributable to advertising sales having a lower cost of sales than merchandise sales as well as the Company moving away from its old product sales and searching for new products to market and sell.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses consisted primarily of selling, general and administrative expenses and professional fees. Total operating expenses increased 430% to $814,525 for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 from $153,801 for the three month period ended September 30, 2013.

Professional fees increased 1,377% to $361,654 from $24,478 in 2014 versus 2013. The increase in professional fees can be attributed to the increase in investor relations, executive compensation, and consulting fees related to convertible notes and funding opportunities.
Net Loss. Our net loss increased to $1,176,087 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $137,572 for the same period in 2013, which was an increase of 755%.

Net Sales. We had net sales of $72,293 and $31,020 in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively. The revenue increase was attributed to the addition of advertising sales.

Professional fees increased 536% to $533,788 from $83,934 in 2014 versus 2013. The increase in professional fees can be attributed to the increase in investor relations, executive compensation, and consulting fees related to convertible notes and funding opportunities.
