NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOVEMBER 30, 2013

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, GOING CONCERN AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

 Organization and nature of business

 

Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, “Staffing 360”, or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 22, 2009, as Golden Fork Corporation (“Golden Fork”). 

 

On February 17, 2012, Alida Heyer (the “Seller”), the holder of 78.7% of the voting rights, of the Company, entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with TRIG Special Purpose 1, LLC, a Nevada Corporation, (“TRIG”) to sell to TRIG 2,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock of the Company, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Shares represented all of the outstanding shares held by the Seller. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, TRIG paid the Seller $240,000 for the Shares in a private transaction. As a result of the transaction, the Company became a 78.7% owned subsidiary of TRIG (the “Change of Control”).

 

On March 16, 2012, Golden Fork filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) to change its name from Golden Fork to Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. Upon filing of the Amendment, the Company began its operations in the international staffing sector.

 

On April 13, 2012, the Company received approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) to effect its name change (as contemplated by the Amendment) and to change its trading symbol from “GDNF” to “STAF”. Simultaneously therewith, the Company received approval to conduct a forward split of its issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock at a ratio of one for three (the “Forward Split”). Following the Forward Split, the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock increased from 2,540,000 to 7,620,000.

On July 31, 2012, the Company formed Staffing 360 Alliance, Inc. (“Staffing Alliance”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, incorporated in the State of Nevada for the purpose of exploring business prospects in the staffing sector. In September 2012, Staffing Alliance began operations and provides trained employees to companies who work in word processing, data entry, administrative support staff and other areas.

 

On April 26, 2013, the Company consummated the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of The Revolution Group, Ltd. (“TRG”), pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated March 21, 2013, entered into by and among the Company, TRG and the shareholders of TRG. Prior to the completion of the Company’s audit, the aggregate consideration paid by the Company to the TRG shareholders for the acquisition was $1,665,849, payable as follows: (i) at the closing of the TRG acquisition (the “Closing”) the Company made cash payments to the TRG shareholders in an aggregate of $896,996 and (ii) at the Closing, the Company paid the remaining $768,853 of the Purchase Price by issuing to the TRG shareholders of 512,569 restricted shares of the Common Stock at a price of $1.50 per share. In addition to the Purchase Price, the Company will pay to the shareholders performance based compensation in an amount in cash equal to the following percentages of TRG’s gross profit from the date of Closing through the end of the sixteenth (16th) quarter following the Closing date (the “Earn Out Period”) not to exceed a total of ($1,500,000): (i) 20% of the amount of TRG’s gross profit up to and including an aggregate of $5,000,000 during the Earn Out Period; plus (ii) 7% of the amount of TRG’s gross profit, if any, in excess of an aggregate of $5,000,000 during the Earn Out Period.

 

Upon completion of the Company’s audit and the valuation of the earn-out liability, the aggregate consideration paid by the Company to the TRG shareholders for the acquisition was $2,509,342 (the “Purchase Price”), paid as follows: (i) at the closing the Company made cash payments to the TRG shareholders in an aggregate of $907,287; and (ii) the Company paid $410,055 of the Purchase Price by issuing to the TRG shareholders 512,569 restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock valued at a price of $0.80 per share. In addition, the Company will pay to the TRG shareholders performance based compensation in cash equal to the following percentages of TRG’s gross profit from the date of closing through the end of the sixteenth (16th) quarter (the “Earn Out Period”) not to exceed a total of $1,500,000: (i) 20% of the amount of TRG’s gross profit up to and including an aggregate of $5,000,000 during the Earn Out Period; plus (ii) 7% of the amount of TRG’s gross profit, if any, in excess of an aggregate of $5,000,000 during the Earn Out Period. The Company estimated the performance based compensation was $1,192,000. As a result of the Acquisition, TRG became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and now operates under the name “Cyber 360 Solutions” (“Cyber Solutions”) (see Note 9).

 

On November 4, 2013, the Company consummated the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of Control Solutions International, Inc. (“CSI”), a Florida corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Canada Control Solutions International, Inc., an Ontario, Canada corporation (“CCSI”) pursuant to a definitive Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 14, 2013 by and among the Company, NewCSI, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NCSI”), and the shareholders of NCSI. The aggregate consideration paid by the Company to the NCSI Shareholders for the Acquisition was $3,530,454, payable as follows: (i) cash payments to the NCSI Shareholders of $1,311,454 and (ii) at the Closing, the Company paid the remaining $119,000 of the purchase price by issuing to the NCSI Shareholders 136,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.875 per share. In addition to the Purchase Price, the Company will pay to the Shareholders performance based compensation in an amount equal to 20% of the amount of CSI’s and CCSI’s consolidated gross profit from the Closing Date through the end of the sixteenth (16th) quarter following the Closing Date (the “Earn Out Period”) not to exceed a total of $2,100,000. As a result of the Acquisition, CSI has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

In connection with the acquisition of CSI, the Company identified and recognized an intangible asset of $1,433,730 representing contractual and non contractual US and foreign customer relationships on a consolidated basis. The asset is being amortized over the estimated life of four years. CSI customer relationships were valued based on the discounted cash flow method applied to projected future cash flows as estimated by Company.management. This method results in the sum of the future net cash flows discounted to its present day value. The valuation provided for the Contractual and Non Contractual Customer Relationships is based on management’s calculations. During the six months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012 the Company recognized amortization expense of $29,869 and $0, respectively. The Intangible Asset balance, net of accumulated amortization, at November 30, 2013 is $1,403,861.

 

The fair value allocation of intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of CSI are based on management estimates. The Company intends to retain the services of an independent valuation expert to determine the fair market value of the identifiable intangible assets, including the customer list and employment agreements associated with the acquisition of CSI. Once determined, the Company will reallocate the purchase price of the acquisition based on the results of the independent evaluation if they are materially different from the allocations as recorded on November 4, 2013. The Company anticipates this will be completed prior to filing its annual report and reflected in its upcoming audited consolidated financial statements.

 

On January 3, 2014, the Company consummated and closed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of Initio International Holdings Limited, a company organized under the laws of England and Wales (“Initio”) and its respective subsidiaries, including but not limited to Monroe Staffing Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Monroe,” and together with all of Initio’s subsidiaries, the “Subsidiaries”). (see Note 11)

Going concern

 

Through August 2012, the Company was presented as a development stage company. Activities during the development stage included organizing the business and raising capital.  In September 2012, Staffing Alliance commenced operations and the Company began to generate revenues. In April 2013, Cyber 360 Solutions commenced operations and began generating revenues. In November 2013, NCSI commenced operations and began generating revenues. Since the Company has incurred losses and currently has negative working capital, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year.  Realization value may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.  As of November 30, 2013, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $2,560,749, and had an accumulated deficit of $5,521,144 and for the quarter ended November 30, 2013 has a net loss and net cash used in operations of $1,851,402 and $1,344,786, respectively.  The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its major shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and through profitable operations from existing subsidiaries and the acquisition of additional entities.  These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and the outcome of these uncertainties cannot be predicted.

 

In order to continue as a going concern and achieve a profitable level of operations, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources.  Management’s plan to continue as a going concern includes raising capital through increased sales and conducting additional financings through debt and equity transactions. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the management’s ability to successfully implement the plans described above, including securing additional sources of financing and attain profitable operations.   Management also cannot provide any assurance that unforeseen circumstances that could occur at anytime within the next twelve months or thereafter will not increase the need for the Company to raise additional capital on an immediate basis. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Since November 30, 2013, the Company has raised capital by conducting financings through debt and equity transactions. On December 6, 2013, the Company completed its fifth and final closing of its Private Placement Offering of Notes with certain Purchasers. As of the final closing of the Note offering, the Company received an aggregate amount of $1,655,000. On January 3, 2014 and January 7, 2014, the Company completed its first and second closings, respectfully, in a private placement of common stock and warrants, in the aggregate amount of $8,261,500. The closings are part of a “best efforts” private placement offering up to $10,000,000.

Interim Financial Statements

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the six and three months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

 

These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended May 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which are included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on September 13, 2013. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read, or have access to, the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding period, and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. The results of operations for the six month periods ended November 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending May 31, 2014.

 

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is May 31.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions are eliminated.

 

Basis of Accounting

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the basis of accounting generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements and with Form 10-K and article 8 of the Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Under this basis of accounting, revenues are recorded as earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses in the reporting period. We regularly evaluate our estimates and assumptions related to stock-based compensation and deferred income tax assets valuation allowances. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between our estimates and the actual results, our future results of operations will be affected. Significant estimates for the quarters ended November 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, include the valuation of deferred tax assets.

Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less when acquired, to be cash equivalents.  The Company had no cash equivalents at November 30, 2013 or May 31, 2013.

 

 Accounts receivable

 

Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, a customer’s historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. At November 30, 2013, the Company did not have any allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

Income taxes

 

The Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the United States. The Company utilizes ASC Topic 740, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

The Company applied the provisions of ASC 740-10-50, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, which provides clarification related to the process associated with accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized in the financial statements. Audit periods remain open for review until the statute of limitations has passed. The completion of review or the expiration of the statute of limitations for a given audit period could result in an adjustment to the Company’s liability for income taxes. Any such adjustment could be material to the Company’s results of operations for any given quarterly or annual period based, in part, upon the results of operations for the given period. As of the date of this filing, the Company has past due corporate federal and state tax returns.

 

 

Fair Value of financial instruments

 

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820-Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results, but did expand certain disclosures.

 

10
 

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as 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. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

 

The Company did not have any Level 2 or Level 3 assets or liabilities as of November 30, 2013 or May 31, 2013, with the exception of its convertible notes payable (see Note 3) and its earn out liability (see Note 9).

 

Cash is considered to be highly liquid and easily tradable as of November 30, 2013 and May 31, 2013 and therefore classified as Level 1 within our fair value hierarchy.

 

In addition, FASB ASC 825-10-25 Fair Value Option, or ASC 825-10-25, was effective for January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10-25 expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect the fair value options for any of its qualifying financial instruments.

 

Convertible Instruments

 

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with professional standards for “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.

 

Professional standards generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.  Professional standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as “The Meaning of “Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument”.

 

11
 

 

The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with professional standards when “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features,” as those professional standards pertain to “Certain Convertible Instruments.” Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.

 

ASC 815-40 provides that, among other things, generally, if an event is not within the entity’s control could or require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.

 

Revenue recognition

 

Staffing 360, Alliance, Inc. – The Company accounts for its revenues in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-45, “Revenue Recognition, Principal Agent Considerations”.   The Company’s revenues are derived from our gross billings, which are based on (i) the payroll cost of its worksite employees; and (ii) a markup computed as a percentage of the payroll cost.  The gross billings are invoiced concurrently with each periodic payroll of its worksite employees.  Revenues, which exclude the payroll cost component of gross billings, and therefore, consist solely of markup, are recognized ratably over the payroll period as worksite employees perform their service at the client worksite.  Revenues that have been recognized but not invoiced are included in unbilled accounts receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

In determining the pricing of the markup component of the gross billings, the Company takes into consideration its estimates of the costs directly associated with our worksite employees, including payroll taxes, benefits and workers’ compensation costs, plus an acceptable gross profit margin.  As a result, the operating results are significantly impacted by its ability to accurately estimate, control and manage its direct costs relative to the revenues derived from the markup component of its gross billings.

 

Consistent with its revenue recognition policy, the direct costs do not include the payroll cost of worksite employees.  The Company’s direct costs associated with revenue generating activities are primarily comprised of all other costs related to worksite employees, such as the employer portion of payroll-related taxes, employee benefit plan premiums and workers’ compensation insurance costs.

 

Cyber 360 Solutions - The Company derives its revenues from three segments: contingent staffing, permanent placement staffing, and consulting. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 605-45 “Revenue Recognition – Principal Agent Considerations.” The Company records revenue on a gross basis as a principal versus on a net basis as an agent in the presentation of revenues and expenses. The Company has concluded that the gross reporting is appropriate because the Company (i) has the duty of identifying and hiring qualified employees, (ii) uses its judgment to select the employees and establish their price, and (iii) bears the risk for services that are not fully paid by the customers. Pursuant to the guidance of ASC 605, the Company recognizes revenue when an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonable assured.

 

Contingent staffing and consulting – Contingent staffing and consulting revenues are recognized when the services are rendered by the Company’s contingent employees and consultants. The Company pays all related costs of employment, including workers’ compensation insurance, state and federal unemployment taxes, social security and certain fringe benefits.

 

12
 

 

Permanent placement staffing revenues – Permanent placement staffing revenues are recognized when employment candidates typically start their first day of work. The Company offers a 30/60/90 day guarantee. If the employee is terminated or leaves voluntarily during this period, a pro-rated refund is provided. The Company has a substantial history of estimating the effect of permanent placement candidates who do not remain with its client through the guarantee period. Fees to clients are generally calculated as a percentage of the new employee’s annual compensation.

 

Control Solutions International Inc. - The Company recognizes revenues primarily on a time and materials basis as the services are performed and amounts are earned. The Company considers amounts to be earned once evidence of an arrangement has been obtained, services are rendered, fees are fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Revenues earned in excess of billings are recorded as unbilled accounts receivable until billed. Billings in excess of revenues earned are recorded as advanced billings until revenue recognition criteria are met. Deposits and prepayments from customers are carried as deferred revenue until the requirements for revenue recognition are met.

 

Reimbursements, including those relating to travel, other out-of-pocket expenses and third-party costs, are included in revenues. The related reimbursable expenses are included in cost of revenue.

 

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based instruments issued to employees in accordance with ASC Topic 718. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation issued to employees. The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with ASC Topic 505-50.

 

Earnings (loss) per common share

 

The Company utilizes the guidance per FASB Codification “ASC 260 "Earnings Per Share".  Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing income available to stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes and the exercise of stock options and warrants (calculated using the modified-treasury stock method).  Such securities, shown below, presented on a common share equivalent basis and outstanding as of November 30, 2013 and 2012 have been excluded from the per share computations, since its inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

   November 30, 
   2013   2012 
Convertible notes issued   -    777,778 
Convertible promissory notes   1,555,000    - 
Warrants   897,230    - 
Total   2,452,230    777,778 

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method. The depreciation and amortization methods are designed to amortize the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives, in years, of the respective assets as follows:

 

Computers     4 Years  
         
Computer Equipment     4 Years  
         
Network Equipment     3 Years  
         
Software     3-8 Years  
         
Office Equipment     7 Years  
         
Furniture and Fixtures     7 Years  
         
Leasehold Improvements     7 Years  

 

Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Improvements of a major nature are capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses are reflected in income.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with ASC 360 “Property, Plant, and Equipment”, we periodically review our long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable.  We recognize an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset.  The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the estimated fair value and the book value of the underlying asset. An impairment was not necessary as of November 30, 2013.

 

14
 

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. ASC 350-30-35-4 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests when circumstances indicate that the recoverability of the carrying amount of goodwill may be in doubt. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value of reporting units include estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment for each reporting unit.

 

Intangible Asset

 

In connection with the acquisition of TRG (see Note 9), the Company identified and recognized an intangible asset of $999,729 representing contractual and non contractual customer relationships. The asset is being amortized over the estimated life of four years. TRG customer relationships were valued using the replacement cost approach. This method is based on acquisition costs invested to attract each customer and relied on actual selling costs incurred and allocated to new customer generation over the preceding four years. The valuation provided for the Contractual and Non Contractual Customer Relationships is based on management’s calculations. The Intangible Asset balance, net of accumulated amortization, at November 30, 2013 is $853,935.

 

In connection with the acquisition of CSI (see Note 9), the Company identified and recognized an intangible asset of $1,433,730 representing contractual and non contractual US and foreign customer relationships on a consolidated basis. The asset is being amortized over the estimated life of four years. CSI customer relationships were valued based on the discounted cash flow method applied to projected future cash flows as estimated by Company management. This method results in the sum of the future net cash flows discounted to its present day value. The valuation provided for the Contractual and Non Contractual Customer Relationships is based on management’s calculations. The Intangible Asset balance, net of accumulated amortization, at November 30, 2013 is $1,403,861.

   November 30,   May 31, 
   2013   2013 
   (Unaudited)     
Convertible notes payable, net  $1,263,793   $50,000 

 

Pursuant to the note agreements, on March 5, 2012, May 4, 2012, August 13, 2012, August 20, 2012, September 14, 2012 and October 4, 2012, the Company issued Notes in the principal amount of $50,000, $200,000 and $70,000, $30,000, $50,000 and $25,000 (the “Notes”), respectively. The Notes bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum and were due on February 20, 2013. Note holders totaling $375,000 extended their maturity dates to July 20, 2013 and one note holder totaling $50,000 extended the maturity date to June 15, 2013. Interest accrued and was payable on the last day of every fiscal quarter commencing on the first calendar quarter subsequent to the respective Note date and ending on the maturity date. The Company did not have the right to prepay these notes. On May 31, 2013, the Company converted a total of $375,000 of principal and $39,054 of accrued interest by delivering to the holders shares of Common Stock of the Company at a price equal to 50% of the securities sold in the private offering which closed on April 19, 2013. The unit price of the securities sold in the private offering totaled $0.90. In addition, on October 30, 2013, the Company converted a total of $50,000 of principal and $4,174 of accrued interest by delivering to the holders shares of Common Stock of the Company at a price equal to 50% of the securities sold in the private offering which closed on April 19, 2013. The unit price of the securities sold in the private offering totaled $0.90. In total the Company issued 1,040,729 shares (944,444 relating to principal and 96,285 relating to accrued interest).

  

16
 

 

On January 17, 2013, the Company closed a financing, by entering into a note purchase agreement with an investor whereby the Company sold to the holder a certain promissory note for the principal amount of $750,000.

 

The note accrued interest at a rate of 12% per annum on the aggregate principal amount, payable on July 20, 2013 (the “Maturity Date”). If the payment date occurred prior to the Maturity Date, the note was subject to a mandatory conversion into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, on the later of the date on which the Company: (i) acquired an operating company in the staffing industry, or (ii) closed the issuance and sale of equity securities in connection with the target acquisition. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the note equaled: (i) the principal amount of the Note and the accrued interest thereon divided by (ii) 50% of the per share price at which shares were sold in the PIPE financing. On May 31, 2013, the Company converted a total of $750,000 of principal and $33,288 of accrued interest by delivering to the holders shares of Common Stock of the Company at a price equal to 50% of the securities sold in the private offering which closed on April 19, 2013. The unit price of the securities sold in the private offering totaled $0.90. In total the Company issued 1,740,639 shares (1,666,667 relating to principal and 73,972 relating to accrued interest).

 

Since the above convertible notes included an embedded conversion feature, management evaluated this feature to determine whether it met the definition of a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) within the scope of ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options”. The Note holders shall have the option to exchange all or a portion of the face amount of the notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, into the applicable dollar amount of any other securities issued by the Company in connection with the subsequent financing, at a conversion price equal to 50% of the subsequent financing offering price. In accordance with ASC 470-20, which deals with instruments containing a fixed percentage conversion feature dependent on a future event, the Company recorded interest relating to the debt conversion totaling $931,266, which was fully expensed at May 31, 2013.

 

On November 4, 2013 and November 7, 2013, the Company completed the first and second closings of its best efforts private offering up to $1,750,000 of 12% Unsecured Convertible Promissory Notes. Pursuant to a subscription agreement with the Purchasers, the Company issued to the purchasers notes for an aggregate of $1,025,000. Such notes are convertible into 1,025,000 shares of Common Stock without regard to the conversion of any interest that may become due on the notes and which also may be converted. The Company issued an aggregate of 256,250 shares of Common Stock to the purchasers in the first and second closing. On November 13, 2013, the Company completed its third closing of its private placement offering of notes with certain purchasers. Pursuant to the subscription agreements with the purchasers, the Company issued notes for an aggregate amount of $350,000 in the third closing to 3 investors. The Company issued an aggregate of 87,500 shares of Common Stock to the purchasers in the third closing. On November 22, 2013, the Company completed its fourth closing of its private placement offering of notes with certain purchasers. Pursuant to the subscription agreements with the purchasers, the Company issued notes for an aggregate amount of $130,000 in the fourth closing to 3 investors. The Company issued an aggregate of 32,500 shares of Common Stock to the purchasers in the fourth closing.

 

Such notes mature on the earlier of: (i) within 10 days following the closing of a $10 million private placement financing, or (ii) February 28, 2014 (the “Maturity Date”), unless voluntarily converted prior to that date. The notes are subject to a voluntary conversion at the election of the Purchasers upon the earlier of: (i) the final closing of a pipe financing or (ii) the consummation of the acquisition as described in the notes. The purchasers may elect to convert the principal amount of the note, including all accrued but unpaid interests, into units of the Company consisting of shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock, at the same price as any units are sold in a pipe financing, whereas each purchaser will receive 25,000 shares and 12,500 warrants at an exercise price of $2.00 per warrant share for each $25,000 investment. In the event there is no pipe financing, upon notice from the Company, the investors in this offering may elect to convert the notes at a conversion price equal to $.90 and receive 12,500 warrants for each $25,000 of principal converted. The warrants will have an exercise price of $2.00 per share. In addition to the notes, each purchaser of the notes receives equity consideration at a rate of 12,500 shares of Common Stock for each $50,000 investment. In total the Company issued 388,750 shares of Common Stock. As a result of the share issuance, the Company recorded a debt discount of $279,103 and amortization of $55,711. The Company also recorded a beneficial conversion relating to the conversion feature of the instrument totaling $84,728 and amortization of $16,912. As of November 30, 2013 $1,555,000 in principal remains net of the remaining debt discount of $291,207 for a net loan balance of $1,263,793.

 

For the six months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012, interest expense related to the convertible promissory notes amounted to $12,102 and $20,348, respectively. At November 30, 2013 and May 31, 2013, aggregate principal due pursuant to the Note Agreements amounted to $1,555,000 and $50,000, respectively. The carrying amounts of these liabilities at November 30, 2013 and May 31, 2013 approximate their respective fair value based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Additionally, as of November 30, 2013 and May 31, 2013, accrued and unpaid interest under the convertible notes amounted to $12,102 and $20,348, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In connection with the acquisition of CSI, the Company identified and recognized an intangible asset of $1,433,730 representing contractual and non contractual US and foreign customer relationships on a consolidated basis. The asset is being amortized over the estimated life of four years. CSI customer relationships were valued based on the discounted cash flow method applied to projected future cash flows as estimated by Company.management. This method results in the sum of the future net cash flows discounted to its present day value. The valuation provided for the Contractual and Non Contractual Customer Relationships is based on management’s calculations. During the six months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012 the Company recognized amortization expense of $29,869 and $0, respectively.

The Intangible Asset balance, net of accumulated amortization, at November 30, 2013 is $1,403,861.

 

The fair value allocation of intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of CSI is based on management estimates. The Company intends to retain the services of an independent valuation expert to determine the fair market value of the identifiable intangible assets, including the customer list and employment agreements associated with the acquisition of CSI. Once determined, the Company will reallocate the purchase price of the acquisition based on the results of the independent evaluation if they are materially different from the allocations as recorded on November 4, 2013. The Company anticipates this will be completed prior to filing its annual report and reflected in its upcoming audited consolidated financial statements.

On July 31, 2012, the Company formed Staffing Alliance. In September 2012, Staffing Alliance commenced operations and in October 2012, we began generating revenues. Staffing Alliance is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Currently, Staffing Alliance provides temporary staffing solutions to 4 customers and payroll processing services to one customer.

 

On February 11, 2013, the Company negotiated and entered into the New IDC LOI with IDC. As of the date hereof, we have been unable to finalize a definitive stock purchase agreement with IDC and there is no assurance that we will be able to close this transaction.

Limited Operating History

 

We intend to acquire domestic and international staffing companies. To date, we operate three entities, Staffing Alliance, Cyber 360, and CSI. On January 3, 2014, we consummated and closed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of Initio International Holdings Limited, and its respective subsidiaries, including but not limited to Monroe Staffing Services, LLC. We are currently negotiating with other potential acquisitions. We began generating revenues in October 2012. We have generated only minimal revenue to date from these entities and have not demonstrated that we will be able to expand our business. Our business plan is subject to risks inherent in growing an enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible rejection of our business model and/or sales methods and cost overruns.

 

From inception to November 30, 2013, we raised $5,998,392 in the form of convertible notes payable, related party notes, accounts receivable financing and through the sale of common stock and warrants. Since November 30, 2013, the Company has raised capital by conducting financings through debt and equity transactions.

The closings are part of a “best efforts” private placement offering up to $10,000,000. We will be seeking additional financing in the future in order to obtain the capital required to implement our business plan and purchase and operate staffing companies. We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available to us on satisfactory terms, we will be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing will result in additional dilution to our existing shareholders.

Service revenues

 

We began to generate revenues in October 2012. As of November 30, 2013, the Company had three entities – Staffing Alliance, Cyber 360, and Control Solutions International (CSI). Staffing Alliance provides temporary staffing and payroll processing services. Payroll services are performed for which the Company handles basic human resources functions, weekly payroll, direct deposit, W-2’s and workers’ compensation insurance. Temp staff services include assistance in sourcing and recruitment strategy. Staffing Alliance revenues are derived from gross billings, which are based on (i) the payroll cost of its worksite employees; and (ii) a markup computed as a percentage of the payroll cost. The gross billings are invoiced concurrently with each periodic payroll of its worksite employees. Revenues, which exclude the payroll cost component of gross billings, and therefore, consist solely of markup, are recognized ratably over the payroll period as worksite employees perform their service at the client worksite. Gross billings for the quarter ended November 30, 2013 totaled $512,254. Staffing Alliance reduced its the gross billings by $426,517 for employee payroll costs representing wages and associated payroll expenses (taxes, unemployment, workers compensation) paid to employees and tax authorities on behalf of clients for which the Company provides payroll processing services. For the three months ended November 30, 2013, Staffing Alliance had net revenues of $85,737. Gross billings for the quarter ended November 30, 2012 totaled $234,484. Staffing Alliance reduced its the gross billings by $223,790 for employee payroll costs representing wages and associated payroll expenses (taxes, unemployment, workers compensation) paid to employees and tax authorities on behalf of clients for which the Company provides payroll processing services. For the three months ended November 30, 2012, Staffing Alliance had net revenues of $10,694. Cyber 360 primarily provides IT and information security temporary staffing services for an array of large institutions. They also provide permanent placement, consulting to permanent placement and consulting. Contingent staffing and consulting revenues are recognized when the services are rendered by the Company’s contingent employees and consultants. The Company pays all related costs of employment, including workers’ compensation insurance, state and federal unemployment taxes, social security and certain fringe benefits.

 

Permanent placement staffing revenues are recognized when employment candidates typically start their first day of work. The Company offers a 30/60/90 day guarantee. If the employee is terminated or leaves voluntarily during this period, a pro-rated refund is provided. The Company has a substantial history of estimating the effect of permanent placement candidates who do not remain with its client through the guarantee period. Fees to clients are generally calculated as a percentage of the new employee’s annual compensation.

 

Cyber 360 was acquired on April 26, 2013. For the three months ended November, 2013, Cyber 360 had revenues of $1,219,778 compared to $0 for the three months ended November 30, 2012.

 

Control Solutions International (CSI) was acquired on November 4, 2013. It provides consulting and risk advisory services principally in the US and Canada but also has a network of affiliated entities across a further 33 countries. It recognizes revenue ratably over the period in which the service is provided. The costs of the service provision are recognized as the cost and time is incurred. For the three months to November 30, 2013, CSI added revenue to the Company of $658,092 compared to $0 for the three months ended November 30, 2012

¨An increase of $519,625 in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended November 30, 2012.

In addition the increase in compensation also relates to the compensation of the employees working for the Company’s subsidiaries.

 

¨An increase in consulting fees to related parties incurred for administrative overhead services and business development services of $120,726. The increase is primarily attributable to the implementation of the Company’s business plan specifically researching and adding potential target acquisitions as well as implementing the Company’s plan relating to its existing subsidiaries.

 

¨The Company’s intangible asset which has been deemed Contractual and Non Contractual Customer Relationships is being amortized over the estimated life of the asset of four years.

Permanent placement staffing revenues are recognized when employment candidates typically start their first day of work. The Company offers a 30/60/90 day guarantee. If the employee is terminated or leaves voluntarily during this period, a pro-rated refund is provided. The Company has a substantial history of estimating the effect of permanent placement candidates who do not remain with its client through the guarantee period. Fees to clients are generally calculated as a percentage of the new employee’s annual compensation.

 

Cyber 360 was acquired on April 26, 2013. For the six months ended November, 2013, Cyber 360 had revenues of $2,475,966.

 

Control Solutions International (CSI) was acquired on November 4, 2013. It provides consulting and risk advisory services principally in the US and Canada but also has a network of affiliated entities across a further 33 countries. It recognizes revenue ratably over the period in which the service is provided. The costs of the service provision are recognized as the cost and time is incurred. For the six months to November 30, 2013, CSI added revenue to the Company of $658,092 compared to $0 for the six months ended November 30, 2012.

 

For the six months ended November 30, 2013, the company, on a consolidated basis, had revenues of $3,306,982 compared to $10,694 for the six months ended November 30, 2012.

 

Direct cost of services

 

Cost of revenues includes the cost of labor and other overhead costs (payroll wages, taxes and related insurance) as they relate to employees (temporary and permanent) as well as sub-contractors and consultants. For the six months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012, cost of revenues was $2,282,757 and $1,117, respectively.

 

Gross profit and gross margin

 

Our gross profit for the six months ended November, 2013 and 2012 was $1,024,225 and $9,577, respectively, representing gross margin of 31% and 90% respectively.

 

Operating expenses

 

For the six months ended November, 2013, operating expenses amounted to $2,668,219 as compared to $413,228 for the six months ended November 30, 2012, an increase of $2,254,991. For the six months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012, operating expenses consisted of the following:

 

   Six Months Ended
November 30,
 
   2013   2012 
General and administrative  $698,273   $54,994 
Compensation   724,459    59,225 
Consulting fees – related parties   270,000    49,207 
Rent – related parties   -    4,500 
Amortization of intangible   154,835    - 
Depreciation   9,038    - 
Professional fees   811,614    245,302 
Total operating expenses  $2,668,219   $413,228 

 

37
 

 

For the six months ended November 30, 2013, the increase in our operating expenses as compared to the six months ended November 30, 2012 was primarily attributable to:

 

¨An increase of $643,279 in general and administrative expenses for the six months ended November 30, 2013 as compared to the six months ended November 30, 2012. The increase is primarily attributable to the implementation of the Company’s business plan as well as office expenses related to the Company’s subsidiaries which did not exist in 2012.

 

¨An increase in compensation of $665,234. In February 2012, the Company hired its chief executive officer pursuant to an employment agreement. In 2013, the Company hired the president of the Company as well as two senior vice presidents. In addition the increase in compensation also relates to the compensation of the employees working for the Company’s subsidiaries.

 

¨An increase in consulting fees to related parties incurred for administrative overhead services and business development services of $220,793. The increase is primarily attributable to the implementation of the Company’s business plan specifically researching and adding potential target acquisitions as well as implementing the Company’s plan relating to its existing subsidiaries.

 

¨The Company’s intangible asset which has been deemed Contractual and Non Contractual Customer Relationships is being amortized over the estimated life of the asset of four years. The intangible asset is related to the acquisitions of Cyber 360 on April 26, 2013 and Control Solutions International on November 4, 2013. The amortization of the intangible was calculated for the six months ended November 30, 2013. During the six months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012 the Company recognized amortization expense of $154,835 and $0, respectively.

 

¨An increase of $9,038 in depreciation expense. The increase relates to the fixed assets of the Company’s subsidiary, Cyber 360. The Company acquired Cyber 360 in late April 2013.

 

¨An increase of $566,312 in professional fees in the six months ended November 30, 2013 as compared to the six months ended November 30, 2012. The increase primarily relates to increases in accounting, consulting and legal fees relating to the implementation of the Company’s business plan specifically due diligence (legal and accounting) of potential acquisition targets. The increase also relates to the professional fees relating to public companies (accounting, auditing, legal, transfer agent, filing fees).

 

Other Expenses

 

For the six months ended November 30, 2013, we incurred interest and financing expense of $207,408 (2012: $20,856) relating to interest from convertible notes payables, accounts receivable financing, amortization of debt discount and amortization of deferred financing costs.

 

Net Loss

 

As a result of the factors described above, our net losses for the six months ended November 30, 2013 and 2012 were $1,851,402 and $424,507, respectively, or a net loss per common share of $0.14 and $0.06 (basic and diluted), respectively.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. We have been funding our operations through the sale of our promissory notes, the sale of the Company’s common stock through private offerings and from advances from our majority shareholders/officers/directors.

Through August 2012, the Company was presented as a development stage company. Activities during the development stage included organizing the business and raising capital.  In September 2012, Staffing Alliance commenced operations and the Company began to generate revenues. In April 2013, Cyber 360 commenced operations and began generating revenues. Since the Company has incurred losses and currently has negative working capital these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year.  Realization value may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.  As of November 30, 2013, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $2,560,749 and has an accumulated deficit of $5,521,144, and for the six months ended November 30, 2013 has a net loss and net cash used in operations of $1,851,402 and $1,344,786, respectively.  The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its major shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and through profitable operations from existing subsidiaries and the acquisition of additional entities.  These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and the outcome of these uncertainties cannot be predicted.

 

Our primary uses of cash have been for professional fees related to our operations and financial reporting requirement and for the payment of compensation and benefits and consulting fees to related parties. All funds received have been expended in the furtherance of growing the business and implementing our business plan. The following trends are reasonably likely to result in a material decrease in our liquidity over the near to long term:

 

¨An increase in working capital requirements to finance targeted acquisitions,
¨Addition of administrative and sales personnel as the business grows,
¨Increases in advertising, public relations and sales promotions for existing and new brands as we expand within existing markets or enters new markets,
¨The cost of being a public company, and
¨Capital expenditures to add technologies.

 

In October 2012, we began to generate revenues. At November 30, 2013, we had cash of $248,132. We have funded our operations as follows:

 

¨During the period from March 2012 through November 2012, we entered into Note Purchase Agreements with various investors in the aggregate principal amount of $425,000. The Notes bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum. On January 17, 2013, the Company closed a financing, by entering into a Note Purchase Agreement with an investor whereby the Company sold to the Holder a certain Promissory Note for the principal amount of $750,000.The Promissory Note accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum.

 

¨During the year ended May 31, 2013, we entered into note agreements with various shareholders/directors/officers of the Company in the aggregate amount of $56,500. These notes are unsecured, bear interest at 5.0% and are due one year from the respective note date.

 

¨During the year ended May 31, 2013, we entered into an agreement under which we borrow money against open accounts receivable. Under this accounts receivable financing arrangement, the Company receives an advance of 90% of the face value of an eligible receivable.   Upon collection of the receivable, the advance is repaid and the remaining funds are remitted to the Company. The borrowings carry interest at a rate of .025% per day (9% per annum).  At November 30, 2013, $1,186,591 was recorded (including interest) to the accounts receivable financing liability.

 

39
 

 

¨During the year ended May 31, 2013, the Company completed a closing of a private offering of Units with certain accredited investors for total gross proceeds of $1,050,000. Pursuant to a subscription agreement with the Purchasers, the Company issued to the Purchasers units consisting of (i) 27,778 shares of common stock and (ii) a three year warrant to purchase 13,889 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.80 per Share, for a purchase price of $25,000 per Unit. In total, the Company sold 42 units totaling 1,166,676 common shares and 583,338 warrants.

 

In addition, on July 2, 2013 the Company completed a closing of a second private offering for total gross proceeds of $565,000. The terms of the second offering mirror the first offering. In total, the Company sold 22.6 units totaling 627,783 common shares and 313,892 warrants.

 

-On August 28, 2013, a related party loaned the Company $155,000 for short term obligations. This loan was non-interest bearing and was repaid on September 3, 2013.

 

-During the quarter ended November 30, 2013, the Company issued promissory notes to four investors for a total of $340,000. The loans bear interest at 12% per annum and were due at the earlier of the completion of the Company’s $1.75 million bridge financing or 90 days from the date of the note. To date, $300,000 was repaid.

 

-During the quarter ended November 30, 2013 the Company raised $1,555,000 in the form of convertible promissory notes relating to its $1.75 million bridge financing. The loans bear interest at 12% per annum and are due within 10 days following the closing of a $10 million private placement financing or February 28, 2014 (the “Maturity Date”).

 

As of January 7, 2014, we raised an aggregate of $9,916,500 in connection with two private placement offerings. As a result of these financings, we believe that we will be able to implement our business plan and pursue the acquisition of a broad spectrum of staffing agencies in the IT, financial, accounting, healthcare and banking industries and for working capital for the next 6 months. This does not include payments for closing certain acquisitions that we have entered into agreements and/or term sheets with, none of which may ultimately close. We estimate that based on current plans and assumptions, that our available cash will not be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements under our present operating expectations, without further financing, for up to 6 months. Currently, we do not have sufficient working capital to fund the expansion of our operations and to provide working capital necessary for our ongoing operations and obligations. We will need to raise significant additional capital to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations, and grow our company. Therefore our future operations will be dependent on our ability to secure additional financing. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and a downturn in the U.S. equity and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. The inability to obtain additional capital will restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will likely be required to curtail our marketing and development plans and possibly cease our operations.

 

We anticipate that depending on market conditions and our current state of operations, we will incur additional operating losses in the foreseeable future. Therefore, our auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our liquidity may be negatively impacted by the significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our significant accounting policies are fully described in Note 1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended November 30, 2013 contained herein. We believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this management discussion and analysis.

 

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to income taxes, and the valuation of equity transactions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on us upon adoption.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide the information required by this item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act (defined below)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

 

In addition, our management with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have determined that no change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during or subsequent to the year ended May 31, 2013 that has materially affected, or is (as that term is defined in Rules 13(a)-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

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.

 

A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the registrant’s financial reporting.

 

In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2013, the Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below:

 

1)Lack of segregation of duties
2)Lack of internal accounting staff

 

As of the date of this Report, the Company does not intend to remedy the foregoing and therefore such material weaknesses in our control environment and financial reporting process will continue. A system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system of controls are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

 

On October 15, 2013, Mr. Peter Goldstein resigned as the Company’s Principal Financial Officer, which such resignation was not as a result of any disagreement with the Company. As a result, Mr. Cervantes, the Company’s President and Vice Chairman of the Board has agreed to assume and serve the role of Principal Financial Officer of the Company through the filing of this Quarterly Report and serve in such position as Principal Financial Officer until the Company can find a duly qualified replacement.

Continuing Remediation Efforts to address deficiencies in Company’s Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

 

Once the Company is engaged in a business of merit and has sufficient personnel available, then our Board of Directors, in particular and in connection with the deficiencies, will establish the following remediation measures:

 

1)Our Board of Directors intends to nominate an audit committee or a financial expert on our Board of Directors in fiscal 2014; and
2)We will appoint personnel to assist with the preparation of the Company’s monthly financial reporting including preparation of the monthly bank reconciliations.
