EAT AT JOE’S LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2014

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This summary of accounting policies for Eat At Joe’s, Ltd. and subsidiaries is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Interim Financial Statements

The unaudited financial statements as of March 31, 2014 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the financial position and results of operations for the three months. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results which can be expected for full years.

Organization

Eat At Joe’s Ltd. (Company) was incorporated on January 6, 1988, under the laws of the State of Delaware, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Debbie Reynolds Hotel and Casino, Inc. (DRHC) (formerly Halter Venture Corporation or Halter Racing Stables, Inc.) a publicly-owned corporation. DRHC caused the Company to register 1,777,000 shares of its initial 12,450,000 issued and outstanding shares of common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-18. DRHC then distributed the registered shares to DRHC stockholders.

During the period September 30, 1988 to December 31, 1992, the Company remained in the development stage while attempting to enter the mining industry. The Company acquired certain unpatented mining claims and related equipment necessary to mine, extract, process and otherwise explore for kaolin clay, silica, feldspar, precious metals, antimony and other commercial minerals from its majority stockholder and other unrelated third-parties. The Company was unsuccessful in these start-up efforts and all activity was ceased during 1992 as a result of foreclosure on various loans in default and/or the abandonment of all assets. From 1992 until 1996 the Company had no operations, assets or liabilities.

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to recoverability and classification of recorded amounts of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company has generated a net income before taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 of $7,235,409; however it had a loss from operations of $123,917. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $8,420,166. These conditions continue to raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to execute its operating plan and to obtain additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance the necessary debt or equity financing will be available, or will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.

Management’s plans include searching for and opening new restaurants in the future, utilizing company assets to maximize shareholder value and obtaining additional financing to fund payment of obligations and to provide working capital for operations and to finance future growth.  The Company is actively pursuing alternative financing and has had discussions with various third parties, although no firm commitments have been obtained.  In the interim, shareholders of the Company have committed to meeting its operating expenses.  Management believes these efforts will generate sufficient cash flows from future operations to pay the Company’s obligations and realize other assets.  There is no assurance any of these transactions will occur.   

Nature of Business

The Company owns and operates a theme restaurant styled in an “American Diner” atmosphere.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eat At Joe’s, LTD. And its wholly-owned subsidiaries, E.A.J. PHL Airport, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, E.A.J. Shoppes, Inc., a Nevada corporation, E.A.J. Cherry Hill, Inc., a Nevada corporation, E.A.J. Market East, Inc., a Nevada corporation, E.A.J. MO, Inc., a Nevada corporation, E.A.J. Walnut Street, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and 1398926 Ontario, Inc. and 1337855 Ontario, Inc., Ontario corporations.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Inventories

Inventories consist of food, paper items and related materials and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue from the sale of food and beverage through its restaurants. Revenue is recognized upon receipt of payment.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC 740 (formerly SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”).  ASC 740 requires a company to first determine whether it is more likely than not (which is defined as a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that a tax position will be sustained based on its technical merits as of the reporting date, assuming that taxing authorities will examine the position and have full knowledge of all relevant information.  A tax position that meets this more likely than not threshold is then measured and recognized at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely to be realized upon effective settlement with a taxing authority.

Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences related to temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes at each year end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.  A valuation allowance is recognized when, based on the weight of all available evidence, it is considered more likely than not that all, or some portion, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Income tax expense is the sum of current income tax plus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.

Depreciation

Office furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of the related assets as follows:

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations; betterments are capitalized. The cost of property sold or otherwise disposed of and the accumulated depreciation thereon are eliminated from the property and related accumulated depreciation accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income.

Recent Accounting Standards

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, to improve the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. Other comprehensive income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period. Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments in the ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information that this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under U.S. GAAP. The new amendments will require an organization to:

        The amendments apply to all public and private companies that report items of other comprehensive income. Public companies are required to comply with these amendments for all reporting periods (interim and annual). The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, for public companies. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-02 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which clarifies which instruments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements originally established by ASU 2011-11. The new ASU addresses preparer concerns that the scope of the disclosure requirements under ASU 2011-11 was overly broad and imposed unintended costs that were not commensurate with estimated benefits to financial statement users. In choosing to narrow the scope of the offsetting disclosures, the Board determined that it could make them more operable and cost effective for preparers while still giving financial statement users sufficient information to analyze the most significant presentation differences between financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and those prepared under IFRSs. Like ASU 2011-11, the amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning on, or after January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-01 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-11 Income Taxes (Topic 740) Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry-forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry-forward Exists. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carry-forward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carry-forward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carry-forward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carry-forward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. This Update applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carry-forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry-forward exists at the reporting date. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013.

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect.  These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic loss per share has been computed by dividing the loss for the year applicable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the years.

Diluted net income per common share was calculated based on an increased number of shares that would be outstanding assuming that the preferred shares were converted to 3,380,663 and 9,433,962, common shares as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Pervasiveness of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances with one financial institution, in the form of demand deposits. At March 31, 2014, the Company had cash deposits in one financial institution that were above FDIC limits of $250,000.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels.  The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.  The Company’s notes payable approximate the fair value of such instruments based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements at March 31, 2014.

The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Investment in Marketable Securities

The Company’s securities investments that are bought and held for an indefinite period of time are classified as available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities are purchased with the intent of selling them before they reach maturity and are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet in current assets, with the change in fair value during the period excluded from earnings and recorded net of tax as a component of other comprehensive income. All of the Company’s available-for-sale securities are marketable securities and have no maturity date. When sold the cost of the securities is determined using the average purchase cost of the securities. On occasion the Company will transfer some of its available for sale securities to trading securities. When this occurs the unrealized gain or loss is immediately recognized in earnings. Trading securities are purchased with the intent of selling them in the short term. During the period ended March 31, 2014 the Company recognized a $348,750 unrealized gain on securities transferred from available for sale to trading. No securities have been transferred from trading to available for sale. The cost basis of the Company’s available-for-sale securities as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $4,231,350 and $4,228,850, respectively.

The Company’s securities investments that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet in current assets, with the change in fair value during the period included in earnings.

Investments in securities are summarized as follows:

Results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 includes a gain of $1,684,865 on unrealized holding gains on trading securities. For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, other comprehensive income includes $1,701,712 for an unrealized holding gain on available-for-sale securities.

Realized gains and losses are determined on the basis of specific identification. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, sales proceeds and gross realized gains and losses on securities classified as available-for-sale securities and trading securities were:

The following table discloses the assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the methods used to determine fair value:

Generally, for all trading securities and available-for-sale securities, fair value is determined by reference to quoted market prices.

3 – Change is due to the consideration of the FMV of the marketable securities acquired in 2012.

NOTE 9 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has performed an evaluation of subsequent events in accordance with ASC Topic 855, noting no additional subsequent events other that would require disclosure.

 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

General - The condensed consolidated interim financial statements and this discussion should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Plan of Operations - Eat at Joe's Ltd. intends to open and operate theme restaurants styled in an "American Diner" atmosphere where families can eat wholesome, home cooked food in a safe friendly atmosphere.  Eat at Joe's, the classic American grill, is a restaurant concept that takes you back to eating in the era when favorite old rockers were playing on chrome-spangled jukeboxes and neon signs reflected on shiny tabletops of the 1950's.  Eat at Joe's fulfills the diner dream with homey ambiance that's affordable while providing food whose quality and variety is such you can eat there over and over, meal after meal.  To build on the diner experience, a retail section in each Eat at Joe's would allow customers to take the good feelings home with them, in the form of 50's memorabilia.

The Company's expansion strategy is to open restaurants either through Joint Venture agreements or Company owned units.  Units may consist of a combination of full service restaurants or food court locations.  Restaurant construction will take from 90-150 days to complete on a leased site.

In considering site locations, the Company concentrates on trade demographics, such as traffic volume, accessibility and visibility. High Visibility Malls and Strip Malls in densely populated suburbs are the preferred locations. The Company also scrutinizes the potential competition and the profitability of national restaurant chains in the target market area. As part of the expansion program, the Company will inspect and approve each site before approval of any joint venture or partnership.

A typical food court unit is approximately 500 square feet, whereas for a full service operation it is approximately 3,500 square feet. Food court operation consists of a limited menu. A full service restaurant consists of 30-35 tables seating about 140-150 people. The bar area will hold 6-8 tables and seats 30-35 people.

The restaurant industry is an intensely competitive one, where price, service, location, and food quality are critical factors. The Company has many established competitors, ranging from similar casual-style chains to local single unit operations. Some of these competitors have substantially greater financial resources and may be established or indeed become established in areas where the Eat at Joe's Company operates. The restaurant industry may be affected by changes in customer tastes, economic, demographic trends, and traffic patterns. Factors such as inflation, increased supplies costs and the availability of suitable employees may adversely affect the restaurant industry in general and the Eat at Joe's Company Restaurant in particular. Significant numbers of the Eat at Joe's personnel are paid at rates related to the federal minimum wage and accordingly, any changes in this would affect the Company's labor costs.

  Over the next twelve months, the company will maintain operations as they currently exist.  We do not anticipate the hiring of new full-time employees or the need for additional funds to satisfy cash requirements.  Expansion within the current location is not viable, however management may seek to make acquisitions of established businesses, or, if a desirable location becomes available, we may elect to expand the concept.  Locations would be sought in heavily trafficked areas, such as within an airport, train station, etc.  We have not found any such location as of the date of this filing and no agreements are in place.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

Results of Operations - For the three months ended March 31, 2014 the Company had net income of $7,235,409 compared to net income of $246,379 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The large increase in net income is attributed to gains on the sale of marketable securities.

Total Revenues - For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had total sales of approximately $337,000 and $277,000, respectively, for an increase of approximately $60,000 or 22%. Management believes revenues will continue to increase in the future as airport traffic increases.

Costs and Expenses - Costs of revenues, which include the costs of food, beverage, and kitchen supplies increased 1% as a percentage of sales during the quarter from 2013 to 2014.  

The cost of labor increased $11,684 to $92,270 from $80,586 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase is a result of converting hourly employees to salaried employees to assure better customer service.

The cost of rent decreased approximately 4.7% as a percentage of sales from 2013 to 2014.   E.A.J. PHL Airport pays $14,000 per month basic rent plus percentage rent equal to 20% of gross revenues above $1,200,000 under the lease based on sales for the 12 month period from July to June of each year.  Basic rent is a fixed cost and percentage rent is variable, so the total rent paid varies from year to year.  

General and administrative expenses increased 22% as a percentage of sales for the first quarter from 2013 to 2014.  The increase can be attributed to an increase in legal and accounting expenses incurred.

Interest expense increased $34,106 during the quarter from 2013 to 2014.  This increase is due to the increase in accrued interest on notes payable.

The unrealized gain on trading securities increased $1,380,044 from $304,821 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $1,684,865 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.  

The realized gain from the sale of marketable securities increased $5,714,097 from $105,335 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to $5,819,432 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.   

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of March 31, 2014, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $8,420,166. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to execute its operating plan and to obtain additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance the necessary debt or equity financing will be available, or will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.

Management’s plans include searching for and opening new restaurants in the future, utilizing company assets to maximize shareholder value and obtaining additional financing to fund payment of obligations and to provide working capital for operations and to finance future growth.  The Company is actively pursuing alternative financing and has had discussions with various third parties, although no firm commitments have been obtained.  In the interim, shareholders of the Company have committed to meeting its operating expenses.  Management believes these efforts will generate sufficient cash flows from future operations to pay the Company’s obligations and realize other assets.  There is no assurance any of these transactions will occur.

The Company has met its capital requirements through the sale of its Common Stock, Convertible Preferred Stock, Convertible Debentures and Notes Payable.

Since the Company's re-activation in January 1997, the Company's principal capital requirements have been the funding of (i) the development of the Company and its 1950's diner style concept, (ii) the construction of its existing units and the acquisition of the furniture, fixtures and equipment therein and (iii) towards the development of additional units.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company received $8,176,418 in cash from proceeds of sales of trading securities for investing activities. Cash of $1,925,752 was used for the purchase of marketable equity securities for the three months ended March 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2014, the company owns trading and available for sale securities valued at $13,762,389.

 As of March 31, 2014, $10,591,211 in advances and accrued interest was due to related parties.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, cash flows used for operating activities were $53,330 and $31,089, respectively.

  After the completion of its expansion plans, the Company expects future development and expansion will be financed through cash flow from operations and other forms of financing such as the sale of additional equity and debt securities, capital leases and other credit facilities. There are no assurances that such financing will be available on terms acceptable or favorable to the Company.

  Government Regulations - The Company is subject to all pertinent Federal, State, and Local laws governing its business. Each Eat at Joe's is subject to licensing and regulation by a number of authorities in its State or municipality. These may include health, safety, and fire regulations. The Company's operations are also subject to Federal and State minimum wage laws governing such matters as working conditions, overtime and tip credits.

Critical Accounting Policies -The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, contingencies and taxes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The following critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions, and estimates used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We are subject to various loss contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. We consider the likelihood of loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability, as well as our ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss in determining loss contingencies. An estimated loss contingency is accrued when management concludes that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We regularly evaluate current information available to us to determine whether such accruals should be adjusted.

We recognize deferred tax assets (future tax benefits) and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the book carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the expected future tax return consequences of those differences, which are expected to be either deductible or taxable when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Future tax benefits have been fully offset by a 100% valuation allowance as management is unable to determine that it is more likely than not that this deferred tax asset will be realized.

Investment in Marketable Securities

The Company’s securities investments that are bought and held for an indefinite period of time are classified as available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet in current assets, with the change in fair value during the period excluded from earnings and recorded net of tax as a component of other comprehensive income.

The Company’s securities investments that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet in current assets, with the change in fair value during the period included in earnings.

Recently Enacted and Proposed Regulatory Changes - Recently enacted and proposed changes in the laws and regulations affecting public companies, including the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules proposed by the SEC and NASDAQ could cause us to incur increased costs as we evaluate the implications of new rules and respond to new requirements. The new rules could make it more difficult for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including directors and officers liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. The impact of these events could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on the Company's board of directors, or as executive officers. We are presently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these new and proposed rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of the additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for the Company.

We have disclosed a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting relating to our accounting for the acquisition of assets held for sale that could adversely affect our ability to report our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows accurately and on a timely basis.

        In connection with our assessment of internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 for fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting relating to our accounting for the acquisition and cost of certain assets held for sale including stocks of third party companies. For a discussion of our internal control over financial reporting and a description of the identified material weakness, see "Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting" under Item 9A, "Controls and Procedures."

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. During 2012 and 2013 management's procedures and testing identified errors that led management to conclude that control deficiencies exist related to the Company’s financial reporting and accounting relative to the recording and calculation of the cost basis for stocks acquired by the Company and held for sale.

 A material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting could adversely impact our ability to provide timely and accurate financial information. While considerable actions have been taken to improve our internal controls in response to the material weakness described above, additional work continues. If we are unsuccessful in implementing or following our remediation plan, we may not be able to timely or accurately report our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows or maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures. If we are unable to report financial information timely and accurately or to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures, we could be subject to, among other things, regulatory or enforcement actions by the SEC and possible delisting from the OTC Bulletin Board Exchange, securities litigation, debt rating agency downgrades or rating withdrawals, any one of which could adversely affect the valuation of our common stock and could adversely affect our business prospects.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting refers to a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and effected by our Board, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in connection with generally accepted accounting principles, including those policies and procedures that:

       Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of the prevention or detection of misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In connection with the preparation of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act.  Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the design and operation of our internal controls and procedures are effective as of December 31, 2013 with the exception of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting relating to our accounting for the recording and acquisition cost of certain assets held for sale including stocks of third party companies.   In prior periods, the Company received stock issued by third party companies in exchange for long-term debt which the Company could, at its discretion, liquidate to raise operating capital.  The Company failed to record this stock and related debt acquired upon acquisition. In addition, when recorded the Company valued these shares based on the value of the original consideration paid for such shares rather than the fair market value of the shares on the date they were received by the Company, as required under US generally accepted accounting principles. 

Management has determined that the Company lacked sufficient accounting and financial experience and knowledge to properly account for such transactions and has subsequently taken steps to ensure that transactions which fall outside of the normal course of business are reviewed by a third party accounting expert to ensure proper treatment in the Company’s financial statements.   There were no other significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
