PART I


ITEM 1.   BUSINESS


Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure, Inc. was formed as a C corporation and incorporated November 24, 1998 in the State of Florida.  The Company is currently not involved with any proceedings, bankruptcy or receiverships.


We offer entertainment based oval driving schools and events.  These classes are conducted at various racetracks throughout the country. We completed our first driving classes in Rockingham, NC in July of 1999.  Since July 4th, 1999, we have run classes at over forty NASCAR tracks, including our eastern hub at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama.


At any one time, the Company owns approximately  20 racecars.  These racecars are classified as stock cars and are equipped for oval or round tracks only.  They are fully loaded with race engines, six point harnesses, neck and head restraints, communications, track specific gears and complete safety cages. We have negotiated terms with over forty racetracks where, for a fee ranging from $0 to $10,000 a day, we can rent their tracks.  


Products and Services.  The Company offers various types of ride or drive programs for individuals and corporations.  The "Qualifier" is a three lap ride with a professional driver which lasts about five minutes, depending on the length of the track.  The "Season Opener" is a half day training class culminating in the student driving ten laps.  The "Rookie Adventure" and "Happy Hour" are also half day driving classes with the students driving 20 or 30 laps, respectively.  The “Advanced Stock Car Adventure” is a full day 60 lap class.  The main purpose of each event (other than the Qualifier) is the thrill of actually driving the race car.


The operation is similar to that of a traveling show in that we transport the stock cars, the mechanics, the sales staff and the instructors from event to event.


Staffing costs are approximately $15,000 per month at the Talladega hub.  We own a Miller Semi Tractor Trailer to haul the cars from track to track.  The transporting of staff to the event and their food and lodging costs average $4,000 per day.  We are required to maintain a minimum of $5,000,000 of liability insurance, worker’s compensation and property and casualty insurance.


The Company also offers a number of add-on sale items, including CDs from its Adventure Cam located in the car, clothing, souvenirs and photography.




4



Vendor Agreement.  During 2009, we entered into an agreement with a vendor, who provides video equipment and video recording services, which enables us to sell video recordings to our students.  Under the agreement, we were entitled to a 60% allocation of revenue for all video products and services sold through December 31, 2011.  Beginning January 1, 2012, the agreement was extended through December 31, 2013 and amended to provide for payments by us to the vendor of $30 for driving adventures, and $11 for riding adventures for which the recording is purchased by the student.  This agreement was not renewed for 2014.


During October 2011, we entered into a new agreement with Talladega Superspeedway, LLC to allow Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure exclusivity during 2012 in providing stock car ride along programs and stock car driving experiences to paying students at Talladega Superspeedway.  Under the terms of the agreement, we agreed to rent a minimum of 60 days during 2012 for $438,000 payable in four payments of $109,500 due at the end of each quarter during 2012.  We also were required to pay Talladega Superspeedway the greater of a set amount of each experience provided or 20% of all DJRA revenues on five designated racing days at the track.


During October 2012 we entered into a new usage agreement with Talladega Superspeedway, LLC for 2013 and 2014 , respectively, with no exclusivity and no minimum racing days.


Marketing.   We offer our products and services at various tracks throughout the country.  We employ a marketing director who is primarily responsible for closing the prospects created through promotion.  These services are sold as both corporate outings and directly to the public through various marketing and advertising mediums with an emphasis on radio and the internet.


Competition.  The driving schools industry is currently experiencing a limited degree of competition with regard to availability, price, service, quality and location.  There is one well-established market leader, Richard Petty Driving Experience, that is nationally recognized and which possesses substantially greater financial, marketing personnel and other resources than us.  There are also a small number of local or regional schools.  Virtual reality driving experiences are also becoming more realistic and a growing competitor.   It is also likely that other competitors will emerge in the near future.  There is no assurance that we will compete successfully with other established driving schools.  We will continue to compete on the basis of availability, price, service, quality and location.  Inability to compete successfully might result in increased costs, reduced yields and additional risks to the investors herein.


Employees.  The Company employs two full time employees responsible for securing the Driving Adventure locations, procurement of equipment, racecars, and the development and implementation of our marketing plan.  We also have  approximately  25 contract personnel including but not limited to a mechanic, four to ten driving instructors, two



5



administrators, a flagman and a site manager.  Additional employees or independent contractors are obtained as required.


Seasonal Nature of Business Activities.   The Company's operations have shown to be seasonal partly because some track locations may only operate on certain days or certain times of the year.  Primarily, this is due to the weather.  Our plan is to run more tracks in the south during the winter to maintain a steady revenue stream in the future.


Government Regulation.  The Company does not currently need any government approval of our services and are not aware of any existing or probable governmental regulations on our business or industry.

ITEM 1B.  UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES


The registrant’s executive offices are located at 945 3rd Avenue SE, Suite 102, Hickory, North Carolina.  We entered into the lease for this building on November 1, 2014.  The lease requires monthly payments of approximately $900 and expires October 31, 2015.  

The registrant also leases various office and warehouse space on a month to month basis or under terms that are less than one year.  Rent expense under all operating leases approximated  $52,000 and $68,000 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.


ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.


We are not aware of any litigation pending or threatened by or against Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure.

On August 28, 2014 we entered into an employment agreement with a new officer to become our President.  This agreement included the issuance of 1,000,000 shares which vested immediately.   Because our stock price was $.05 on the date of the grant, we recognized stock based compensation expense of  $50,000 in 2014 as a result of this arrangement.   The employee was terminated in 2014 and we do not believe we have any further liability under such agreement.


On October 22, 2014 the Board authorized issuance of 50,000 shares of stock to each of two employees for services performed.  This issuance was recorded to compensation expense at a value of $4,000 as the stock price on that day was $0.04.


In December 2014, we agreed to grant 10,000,000 shares of our stock to the brother in law of our President and CEO as consideration for his assistance with the development of a new business opportunity. The shares were issued in 2015.   We recognized stock based compensation expense of approximately $300,000 under this arrangement in 2014 because the shares were immediately vested.


    Item 5(b)  Use of Proceeds.  Not applicable.


    Item 5(c)  Purchases of Equity Securities by the issuer and affiliated purchasers.  


During 2014 and 2013 we repurchased no shares of our common stock.


ITEM 6.  SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA


Not applicable to a smaller reporting company.


ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Trends and Uncertainties.  Demand for the Company's products is dependent on general economic conditions, which are cyclical in nature.  Because a major portion of our activities are the receipt of revenues from our driving school services and products, our business operations may be adversely affected by competitors and prolonged recessionary periods.  


There are no other known trends, events or uncertainties that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on our short term or long term liquidity.  Sources of liquidity will come from sales of our products and services.  There are no material commitments for capital expenditure at this time.  There are no trends, events or uncertainties that have had or are reasonably expected to have a material impact on the net sales or revenues or income from continuing operations.  There are no significant elements of income or loss that do not arise from the Company’s continuing operations.  There are no other known causes for any material changes from period to period in one or more line items of our financial statements.  


We currently have classes planned through December 2015.

Capital and Source of Liquidity.  


The board of directors has no immediate offering plans in place and shall determine the amount and type of financing as our financial situation dictates.


For the year ended December 31, 2014, we had a net loss of $372,317.  We had the following adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities:  We had an increase of $90,467 due to depreciation, an increase of $4,493 due to interest added to officer loans, an increase of $29,232 due to a loss on the disposal of assets, an increase of $300,000 due to stock compensation for a consultant, and an increase of $54,000 due to stock compensation to employees.  We had the following changes in assets and liabilities:  We had an increase of $5,225 due to accounts receivable and an increase of $27,381 due to prepaid expenses and other current assets.  We had a decrease of $10,483 due to spare parts and supplies, a decrease of $149,567 due to deferred revenue, and a decrease of $149,483 due to accounts payable and accrued expenses.  As a result, we had net cash used in operating activities of $171,052 for the year ended December 31, 2014.


For the year ended December 31, 2013, we had a net loss of $216,928.  We had the following adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities:  We had an increase of $95,825 due to depreciation, an increase of $4,494 due to interest added to officer loan, and an increase of $8,603 due to loss on disposal of assets.  We had the following changes in assets and liabilities:  We had an increase of $4,586 due to accounts receivable, an increase of $8,190 due to spare parts and supplies, and an increase of $95,481 due to accounts payable and accrued expenses.  We had a decrease of $37,022 due to prepaid expenses and other current assets, and we had a decrease of $17,628 due to deferred revenue.  As a result, we had net cash used in operating activities of $54,399 for the year ended December 31, 2013.


For the year ended December 31, 2014, we spent $600 on the acquisition of property and equipment, resulting in net cash used in investing activities of $600 for the period.


For the year ended December 31, 2013, we spent $24,900 on additions to racecars under construction and $20,129 on the acquisition of property and equipment.  As a result, we had net cash used in investing activities of $45,029 for the period.


For the year ended December 31, 2014, we spent $28,183 on the repayment of long-term debt and received $1,311 from contributions of earnings from sale of stock by a shareholder.  As a result, we had net cash used in financing activities of $26,872 for the year ended December 31, 2014.


For the year ended December 31, 2013, we received $100,000 as proceeds from the sale of common stock.  We spent $14,898 on the repayment of long-term debt.  As a result, we had net cash provided by financing activities of $85,102 for the year ended December 31, 2013.




9



While we believe that our cash on hand and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to conduct operations through December 31, 2015, we recognize that our  ability to continue as a going concern is  dependent on our ability to generate profitable operations and no assurance can be given that we will be able to accomplish such endeavor.   


Results of Operations.


For the year ended December 31, 2014, we had sales of $2,383,091.  Our cost of sales and services was $1,181,697, resulting in a gross profit of $1,201,394.  We spent $1,560,630 on general and administrative expenses.  We earned $705 from interest income and $711 from other income.  We spent $14,497 on interest expenses.  As a result, we had net loss of $372,317 for the year ended December 31, 2014.


Comparatively, for the year ended December 31, 2013, we had sales of $2,669,868.  Our cost of sales and services was $1,299,910, resulting in a gross profit of $1,369,958.  We paid general and administrative expenses of $1,584,485.  We earned interest income of $138 and other income of $6,754.  We spent $9,293 on interest expense.  As a result, we had net loss of $216,928 for the year ended December 31, 2013.  


The $155,389, or 41.7%, difference in net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the year ended December 31, 2013 is primarily due to decreased sales during the year ended December 31, 2014.  We earned $286,777, or 10.7%, less during the year ended December 31, 2014, while our general and administrative expenses decreased by 23,855, or 1.5%.  


Plan of Operation.  The Company may experience problems, delays, expenses and difficulties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control.  These include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates and competition.


Critical Accounting Policies


The following accounting policies are considered critical by our management.  These and other accounting policies require that estimates be made based on assumptions and judgment, which affect revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingencies in our financial statements.  These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  However, actual results may differ from these estimates under different and/or future circumstances.




10



Liquidity


Our accompanying financial statements contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  We have suffered recurring losses from operations and have stockholder and working capital deficits at December 31, 2014.   Although a portion of our liabilities (i.e. the shareholder advance and approximately one half of our deferred revenues) are not expected to result in the outlay of cash in the next year we anticipate that we will need to generate capital, either through positive results of operations and/or equity or debt infusions, to meet our obligations during such period. Finally, if the need arises, we anticipate that we may be able to raise additional funds from existing shareholders.  However there can be no assurance that our plans will be successful in which case we would have difficulty meeting our obligations.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.


Revenue Recognition


In general, we record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the student is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.  The following policies reflect specific criteria for the various revenue streams of the Company:


Revenue is recognized at the time the product is delivered or the service is performed.


Deferred revenue is recorded for amounts received in advance of the time at which services are performed and included in revenue at the completion of the related services. Deferred revenue aggregated $869,825 and $1,019,188 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.


Property and Equipment


Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated based upon estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives range from three to ten years.  At December 31, 2014, we believe the remaining carrying values of these assets are recoverable.




11



Stock-Based Compensation


We record stock based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation.   ASC 718 requires that the cost resulting from all share-based transactions be recorded in the financial statements and establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements and requires all entities to apply a fair-value-based measurement in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. The Statement also establishes fair value as the measurement objective for transactions in which an entity acquires goods or services from non-employees in share-based payment transactions.


Recent Pronouncements


We do not believe any recently issued accounting standards will have a material impact on our financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and stockholders of Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure, Inc.:


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.


We conducted our audit 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 Company’s 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to such financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has working capital and stockholder deficits at December 31, 2014, and may need additional capital and/or debt infusions during the year ending December 31, 2015.These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2014 and 2013


Note 1. Organization, Significant Accounting Policies and Liquidity

 

Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure, Inc. (referred to as “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Florida on November 24, 1998.  The Company offers the “NASCAR” racing school to the public.  The Company owns numerous  “NASCAR” type racecars and has secured several racetrack locations at which it offers these services at various dates during the year.


Going Concern


Our accompanying financial statements contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  We have suffered recurring losses from operations and have stockholder and working capital deficits at December 31, 2014.   While a significant portion of (i) our net loss resulted from non-cash expenses, and (ii) our liabilities (i.e. the shareholder advance and approximately one half of our deferred revenues) are not expected to result in the outlay of cash in 2015) we recognize we will ultimately either need to increase revenues and/or raise additional debt or equity capital to sustain our operations.   We plan to continue close monitoring of general and administrative expenses in 2015, and may seek to reduce such expenses and we are also investigating the possibility of investing in an alternative business model.  Absent our ability to be successful in such endeavors, we may seek to raise capital from existing shareholders.   While we believe we will generate adequate cash to meet our commitments in 2015, there can be no assurance that our beliefs will come to fruition in which case we would most likely have difficulty continuing as a going concern.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern


Revenue Recognition


In general, we record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the sales price to the student is fixed or determinable, and collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured.  The following policies reflect specific criteria for our various revenue streams:


·

Revenue is recognized at the time the product is delivered or the service is performed.  Provision for sales returns are estimated based on the Company’s historical return experience; however sales returns have not been significant due to the nature of the services we provide.


·

Deferred revenue is recorded for amounts received in advance of the time at which services are performed and included in revenue at the completion of the related services


Statements of Cash Flows


For purposes of the statements of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.




20



Accounts Receivable


Accounts receivable are stated at estimated net realizable value.  Accounts receivable are comprised of balances due from customer net of estimated allowances for uncollectible accounts.  In determining collectability, historical trends are evaluated and specific issues are reviewed to arrive at appropriate allowances.  There was no allowance at December 31, 2014 and 2013.


Spare Parts and Supplies


Spare parts and supplies are valued at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis. At December 31, 2014 and 2013 spare parts and supplies include $143,369 and $138,065 respectively, of spare parts and tires used in the racecar operations, and finished goods (which are primarily promotional items that bear our logo), of $5,179 and $2,585, respectively.


Race Car Held For Sale


In the fourth quarter of 2014, we made the decision to sell our exotic race car. Because we sold the car in January 2015 for an amount approximating the net book value of the asset, such net book value was reclassified from property and equipment to current assets at December 31, 2014.  

Property and Equipment


Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, ranging from 3 to 10 years.  Major additions are capitalized, while minor additions and maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the useful life of an asset, are expensed as incurred.


Long Lived Assets


We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount.  No such impairment losses have been identified by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make certain 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.  The reported amounts of revenues and expenses may be affected by the estimates management is required to make.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Advertising Costs


Advertising costs are charged to operations when the advertising first takes place.  Advertising costs charged to operations were $223,873 and $372,419 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.




21



Fair Value of Financial Instruments


At December 31, 2014, our short-term financial instruments consist primarily of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses,  the advance from shareholder and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value because of their short-term nature.


Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents.  As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and periodically throughout such years, balances in various operating accounts exceeded federally insured limits.  We monitor our positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions in which we maintain cash balances and we have not experienced any losses in such accounts.  We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes nor do we hold or issue interest rate or leveraged derivative financial instruments.


Segment Information


The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC 280-10, Segment Reporting.  Under ASC 280-10, certain information is disclosed based on the way management organizes financial information for making operating decisions and assessing performance.  We currently operate in a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements if we expand our operations.


Income Taxes


We compute income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes.  Under ASC-740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period.  Also, the effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date.  If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.


We follow guidance in FASB ASC Topic 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.


We do not believe we have taken any uncertain tax positions on any of our open income tax returns filed through the year ended December 31, 2014.  Our methods of tax accounting are based on established income tax principles in the Internal Revenue Code and are properly calculated and reflected within our income tax returns.  Due to the carryforwards of net operating losses, all of our federal and state income tax returns remain subject to audit.



22




Stock-Based Compensation


We recognize stock based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation.   ASC 718 requires that the cost resulting from all share-based transactions be recorded in the financial statements. It establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements and requires all entities to apply a fair-value-based measurement in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. The Statement also establishes fair value as the measurement objective for transactions in which an entity acquires goods or services from non-employees in share-based payment transactions.


Net Loss Per Common Share


We calculate net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share.  Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding.  


During periods in which we incur losses, common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.  At December 31, 2014 and 2013 we had no dilutive shares outstanding. .


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


We do not believe any recently issued accounting standards will have a material impact on our financial statements.


Reclassification


One amount in the 2013 statement of operations was reclassified to conform to the presentation in the 2014 financial statements.


Note 2.  Property and Equipment

23




Note 3. Long-term Debt


At December 31, 2014 and 2013, we were obligated under the following two notes payable:

·

A debt obligation entered in 2012 under a vehicle purchase contract having an initial principal balance of $23,935. The vehicle purchase loan is payable in monthly installments of $543, including interest at 4.24%, through January 2016, and is collateralized by a support vehicle acquired through the financing.  The balance of the note approximated $7,000 at December 31, 2014.

·

A debt obligation entered in 2013 under a vehicle purchase contract having an initial principal balance of $141,793. Prior to its repayment in January 2015, the loan was payable in monthly installments of $2,363, including interest at 4.99%, through July 2018, and was collateralized by a vehicle acquired through the financing.  We sold the vehicle in  January 2015 and paid the remaining balance of the indebtedness of approximately $93,000 at such time,  


Note 4. Stockholders’ Deficit


The following table summarizes the stock option activity during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:

During April 2009, we extended the expiration date of 3,500,000 outstanding options for a period of five years.  All of these options were fully vested as of such date.   The exercise price remained at $.15 per share and the options expired on October 21, 2014.  


No compensation cost was recognized during 2014 or 2013 as a result of stock options.   We had no exercisable options outstanding at  December 31, 2014.   Furthermore, our options outstanding at December 31, 2013 did not have any intrinsic value .


Common stock issued upon the exercise of any future stock option grants would come from our authorized and unissued common shares.  


On May 14, 2013 we sold 2,500,000 shares of common stock to an accredited investor who owned 5% of our common shares prior to the sale.  The sale occurred at $0.04 per share for total proceeds of $100,000.




24



On August 28, 2014 we entered into an employment agreement with a new officer to become our President.  This agreement included the issuance of 1,000,000 shares which vested immediately.   Because our stock price was $.05 on the date of the grant, we recognized stock based compensation expense of  $50,000 in 2014 as a result of this arrangement.   The employee was terminated in 2014 and we do not believe we have any further liability under such agreement.


On October 22, 2014 the Board authorized issuance of 50,000 shares of stock to each of two employees for services performed.  This issuance was recorded to compensation expense at a value of $4,000 as the stock price on that day was $0.04.


In December 2014, we agreed to grant 10,000,000 shares of our stock to the brother in law of our President and CEO as consideration for his assistance with the development of a new business opportunity. The shares were issued in 2015.   We recognized stock based compensation expense of approximately $300,000 under this arrangement in 2014 because the shares were immediately vested.


Note 5. Income Taxes


We have not provided for income taxes in 2014 or 2013 as a result of operating and tax losses.  We have net operating loss carryforwards at December 31, 2014 of approximately $4,300,000 that expire in various years through 2034.  We have fully reserved our net deferred income tax asset  since we are uncertain as to whether future income from operations will be available to utilize it.  The approximate deferred tax assets and liabilities,  assuming a blended state and federal rate of 40%,  and the related allowance are as follows:

$                  -


The valuation reserve increased by $20,000 in 2014 and by $18,000 in 2013.


The provision (benefit) for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to our loss  before  income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.  Our  combined federal and state effective tax rate as a percentage before taxes for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, approximated 40%,  The following are reconciliations of the income tax at the effective tax rate with the income tax at the U.S. federal statutory tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:

Note 6. Commitments


Operating Leases


On November 1, 2014 the Hickory, NC office entered into a new operating lease in such locale, which requires monthly payments of approximately $900 and expires October 31, 2015.  


The Company also leases various office and warehouse space on a month-to-month basis or under terms that are less than one year.  Rent expense under all operating leases approximated $52,000 and $68,000 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.


Employment Agreements


During July 2011, we extended the employment agreement of our Chief Executive Officer through June 2016 at a base salary of $150,000, with cost of living adjustments to be made on the first day of each year.


Vendor Agreements


In January 2014, and again in January 2015, we entered new usage agreements with Talladega Superspeedway, LLC for 2014 and 2015, respectively, with no exclusivity and no minimum racing days.


Note 7.  Other Related Party Transaction


During 2012 we received a $100,000 advance from a shareholder accruing interest at 5% per year with no payment terms specified.  As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, none of the principal had been paid and the note balance included accrued interest of $10,110 and $5,617, respectively.


Note 8.  Other Subsequent Events


We evaluated subsequent events through April 15, 2015 and, to the extent applicable, have incorporated such events into these financial statements.

Controls and Procedures.


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:


We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to insure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, or the persons performing similar functions, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


Under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, or the persons performing similar functions, our management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO, or the persons performing similar functions, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2014.


Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting:


Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is the process designed by and under the supervision of our CEO and CFO, or the persons performing similar functions, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Management has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control over Financial Reporting – Guidance for Smaller Public Companies.




27



Under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, or the persons performing similar functions, our management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, and concluded that it is effective.


This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the registrant’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the registrant to provide only management’s report in this annual report.


Evaluation of Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting:


Under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, or those persons performing similar functions, our management has evaluated changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2013.  Based on our assessment, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles as of the end of the fiscal year. The small size of our company does not provide for the desired separation of control functions, and we do not have the required closing process related to the preparation of financial statements.  The Company lacks an audit committee with an independent financial expert. Additionally, a material weakness exists as of December 31, 2014, with regard to limitations in the capacity of our accounting resources to identify and react in a timely manner to certain transactions as well as the adequate understanding of the disclosure requirements relating to these transactions. We reviewed the results of management’s assessment with our Board of Directors.


Important Considerations:


The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, 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 the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.

Committees of the Board of Directors

We do not have standing audit, nominating or compensation committees, or committees performing similar functions. Our board of directors believes that it is not necessary to have standing audit, nominating or compensation committees at this time because the functions of such committees are adequately performed by our board of directors.


Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance


Under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, an officer, director, or greater-than-10% shareholder of the registrant must file a Form 4 reporting the acquisition or disposition of registrant's equity securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than the end of the second business day after the day the transaction occurred unless certain exceptions apply.  Transactions not reported on Form 4 must be reported on Form 5 within 45 days after the end of the registrant's fiscal year.  Such persons must also file initial reports of ownership on Form 3 upon becoming an officer, director, or greater-than-10% shareholder.  To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of these reports furnished to it, the officers, directors, and greater than 10% beneficial owners complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements during 2013.

Code of Ethics Policy


During July 2008, we adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions.


Corporate Governance


There have been no changes in any state law or other procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our board of directors.  In addition to having no nominating committee for this purpose, we currently have no specific audit committee and no audit committee financial expert.  Based on the fact that our current business affairs are simple, any such committees are excessive and beyond the scope of our business and needs.


Indemnification


The Company shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by, and in the manner permissible under the laws of the State of Florida, any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Company, or served any other enterprise as director, officer or employee at the request of the Company.  The board of directors, in its discretion, shall have the power on behalf of the Company to indemnify any person, other than a director or officer, made a party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he/she is or was an employee of the registrant.  


Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceedings) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with any securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issues.


INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS OR PERSONS CONTROLLING THE REGISTRANT FOR LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, IS HELD TO BE AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION AND IS THEREFORE UNENFORCEABLE.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.


During 2012 we received a $100,000 advance from a shareholder accruing interest at 5% per year with no payment terms specified.  As of December 31, 2014 none of the principal had been paid and the note balance included accrued interest of $10,110.


Director Independence.  The Company’s board of directors consists of Timothy Shannon, Glenn Jarrett and Kenneth Scott.  None of our directors are independent as such term is defined by a national securities exchange or an inter-dealer quotation system.  During the year ended December 31, 2014, there were no transactions with related persons other than as described in the section above entitled “Item 11.  Executive Compensation”.



ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES.


Audit Fees.  We paid aggregate fees and expenses of approximately $28,100 and $28,000, respectively, to Kingery & Crouse, P.A. during 2014 and 2013, respectively, for work completed for our annual audits and quarterly reviews of our financial statements.  


Tax Fees. We did not incur any aggregate tax fees and expenses from Kingery & Crouse, P.A. for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning.


All Other Fees. We did not incur any other fees from Kingery & Crouse, P.A. during 2014 and 2013.


The board of directors, acting as the Audit Committee considered whether, and determined that, the auditor's provision of non-audit services was compatible with maintaining the auditor's independence.  All of the services described above for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were approved by the board of directors pursuant to its policies and procedures.
