NOTE 1. - BUSINESS

 

IPO World, (The “Company”) was organized on April 26, 2010 (Date of Inception) under the laws of the State of Nevada, as General Cleaning and Maintenance. On March 15, 2013, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State to change its corporate name to: IPOWorld. The original business of the Company was to provide a wide range of janitorial and cleaning services for clients...

 

IPOWorld is focused on creating a portfolio of real estate properties that service the cannabis industry. The Company does not grow, harvest, distribute, market nor sell cannabis. The company may acquire and/or leases properly zoned land and related facilities with the intent to build and/or do leasehold improvements to existing buildings and rent to licensed tenants for their operations, all in compliance with applicable local and state laws and regulations.

 

The cannabis industry is still concentrated in a few States and lacks recognized regional or national leaders.  

The Company intends to limit our business to states (e.g., Washington, Colorado and Oregon) that have approved cannabis use based on the type of usage permitted. There are some states in which the Company cannot market its services due to local state restrictions. The Company intends to market its services in states that have regulatory systems in place to license cannabis production and processing. Of these states, the Company currently considers Washington and Colorado to be its primary target market. Both Washington and Colorado have legalized the recreational use of cannabis. Once the Company is able to establish its operations in Washington and Colorado, it may seek business opportunities in other states that have approved cannabis such as Oregon.

 

IPOWorld incorporated MSPR, a Nevada corporation, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of IPOWorld on November 24, 2014. It is management's intention that the subsidiary act as a separate entity that will provide security and protection services for IPOWorld's and other businesses operations. The subsidiary, MPSR, will be a distinct company with different financial, investment and operating objectives, so that it can adopt its own business strategies and objectives tailored to its respective markets. MSPR has not yet commenced operations.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2015 or for any other future period.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2014 has been derived from the consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the IPOWorld’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.

 

 

NOTE 2. - GOING CONCERN

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has an accumulated deficit since inception of $489,426 and has incurred losses in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015. The Company has not generated any revenues to date, and its ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful completion of additional financing arrangements and its ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations. Management plans to raise equity capital to finance the operating and capital requirements of the Company. Amounts raised will be used for further development of the Company's products, to provide financing for marketing and promotion and for other working capital purposes. While the Company is putting forth its best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

 

 

NOTE 3. - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The relevant accounting policies are listed below. There have been no significant changes in the Company's significant accounting policies during the nine months ended June 30, 2015 compared to what was previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The basis is United States generally accepted accounting principles. The Company's fiscal year-end is September 30th.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of IPOWorld and its wholly owned subsidiary, MSPR Corp. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015, MSPR Corp. had no operations to report.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management makes estimates that affect certain accounts including, deferred income tax assets, estimated useful lives of property and equipment, accrued expenses, fair value of equity instruments and reserves for any other commitments or contingencies. Any adjustments applied to estimates are recognized in the year in which such adjustments are determined.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share Calculations

 

The Company follows ASC Topic 260 to account for the earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. During periods when common stock equivalents, if any, are anti-dilutive they are not considered in the computation.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2015 and September 30 2014. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash equivalents, accrued expenses and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash and payables because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.

 

Level 1: The preferred inputs to valuation efforts are “quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,” with the caveat that the reporting entity must have access to that market. Information at this level is based on direct observations of transactions involving the same assets and liabilities, not assumptions, and thus offers superior reliability. However, relatively few items, especially physical assets, actually trade in active markets.

 

Level 2: FASB acknowledged that active markets for identical assets and liabilities are relatively uncommon and, even when they do exist, they may be too thin to provide reliable information. To deal with this shortage of direct data, the board provided a second level of inputs that can be applied in three situations.

IPOWorld

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2015

(Unaudited)

 

 

Level 3: If inputs from levels 1 and 2 are not available, FASB acknowledges that fair value measures of many assets and liabilities are less precise. The board describes Level 3 inputs as “unobservable,” and limits their use by saying they “shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.” This category allows “for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date”. Earlier in the standard, FASB explains that “observable inputs” are gathered from sources other than the reporting company and that they are expected to reflect assumptions made by market participants.

 

The Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2015 or September 30, 2014.

 

Advertising

 

Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. The Company has not incurred any advertising expenses since inception.

 

Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes is the total of the current taxes payable and the net of the change in the deferred income taxes. Provision is made for the deferred income taxes where differences exist between the period in which transactions affect current taxable income and the period in which they enter into the determination of net income in the financial statements. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In determining the need for valuation allowances, we consider projected future taxable income and the availability of tax planning strategies.  After evaluating all positive and negative historical and perspective evidences, management has determined it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets will not be realized. 

 

The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its otherwise recognizable deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2015.  As such, the Company has not recorded a provision for income tax for the period ended June 30, 2015. 

 

Comprehensive Income (loss)

 

The Company is required to display comprehensive income (loss) and its components as part of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. For the three and nine months ended Septemer 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company had no elements of comprehensive income (loss).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (Topic 606)." The amendments in this ASU defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09. Public business entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. We are still evaluating the effect of the adoption of ASU 2014-09.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, which applies to entities that have substantial doubt about their ability to continue as a going concern. This update requires management to assess the probability about the entity’s ability to remain as a going concern for a period of one year from the date the financial statements are ready to be issued. Depending on management’s conclusions about the entity’s ability to remain as a going concern, the entity must make certain disclosures in its financial statements. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

 

In November 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-16 (ASU 2014-16), Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity. The amendments in this ASU do not change the current criteria in U.S. GAAP for determining when separation of certain embedded derivative features in a hybrid financial instrument is required. The amendments clarify that an entity should consider all relevant terms and features, including the embedded derivative feature being evaluated for bifurcation, in evaluating the nature of the host contract. The ASU applies to all entities that are issuers of, or investors in, hybrid financial instruments that are issued in the form of a share and is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-16 and has not determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.

 

The Company's management has evaluated other recently issued accounting pronouncements through the filing date of these financial statements and does not believe that any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

 

 

NOTE 4. - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

 

The Company is authorized to issue 15,000,000 preferred shares at par value $0.001 and 185,000,000 common shares at par value $0.001.

 

On October 17, 2014, the Company designated a class of its non convertible Preferred Voting Stock, par value $0.001. One Million (1,000,000) Preferred Voting Stock were authorized. The Preferred Voting Stock carry a voting weight equal to fifty (50) Common Shares. The shares of the Preferred Voting Stock are not redeemable and cannot be converted into Common Shares, unless it is approved by the Board of Directors and agreed upon by the Preferred Voting Shareholders. These Preferred Shares do not participate in dividends and have no liquidation rights. Their sole right is in voting.

On October 17, 2014, the Company agreed to issue 1,000,000 unregistered restricted, non-convertible Preferred Voting Stock, which carries a voting weight equal to fifty (50) Common Shares and 14,500,000 restricted common shares to Edward Heckerson for his services provided during the quarter ended December 31, 2014, which include but are not limited to: corporate guidance, operations, regulatory compliance and the seeking and successful acquisition of Company financing. The common shares were valued at the fair market value of $2.70 per share as on the date of issuance for a total value of $39,150,000 and preferred shares were valued for $1,000, based on $0.001 par value of preferred stock.

 

In the case of the Common Shares, the most reliably measured value was determined by the market price of the Common stock, which is not supported by material volume and thus may represent a category III valuation. In the case of the Preferred Shares, which have no market, are not convertible to Common Shares, do not participate in dividends, and have no liquidation rights, the Company believes no reliable measure of value exists for either the security issued or the consideration received by the Company, and chose par value as a last resort.

 

During June 2015, the Company determined that several legal and accounting mistakes were made in the issuance of both the Common and Preferred Shares to Mr. Edward Heckerson, as noted above. It was mutually determined that the most prudent course was to declare both issuances void accordingly, the transaction was rescinded. The grantee Mr. Edward Heckerson, agreed to rescind the transaction.

 

Due to errors made, the Company will present the effect of the recision/ annulment of the transaction retrospectively in the first quarter of fisaclyear 2015. This treatment renders the transaction set null for financial statement purposes, and accordingly the Company expects to update and restate its quarterly filings for the quarters ended December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015, the affected periods within the next ninety days.

 

Mr. Heckerson, a shareholder and officer, has provided management services to the Company during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015. However, Mr. Heckerson does not receive any cash or stock based compensation for providing these services. If the the Company did not receive these services, it would need to engage other consultants or hire employees to perform these managerial services. Accordingly, the Company has recognized compensation expense related to the value of these services rendered and a corresponding increase in additional paid-in-capital. Mr. Heckerson is the sole officer and director of the Company, and the Company has valued these services at $10,000 per quarter.

 

On November 14, 2014, the Board of Directors approved and agreed to issue 2,500,000 unregistered restricted common shares at an agreed value of $ 0.08 per share to satisfy a Convertible Note debt obligation of $200,000 between the Company and Lakeview Media, a Nevis corporation. The Company had entered into the Convertible Note with Lakeview Media on September 30, 2014. The debt holder agreed to tender their original note, marked satisfied, upon the issuance of 2,500,000 IPOWorld restricted common shares and the debt discount calculated under the embedded beneficial conversion feature of $200,000 was entirely amortized and recorded as interest expense as at December 31, 2014. The shares were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. We believed that Section 4(2) was available because the offer and sale did not involve a public offering and there was not general solicitation or general advertising involved in the offer or sale.

 

There have been no issuances of stock options or warrants during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, the Company paid a related party $22,000 for consulting expenses related to the coordination of construction services currently in progress. This related party entity is controlled by the sole officer of the Company.

 

 

The Company does not lease or rent any propertyNominal office services are provided without charge by a director. Such costs are immaterial to the financial statements and, accordingly, have not been reflected therein. The officer and directors of the Company are involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities. If a specific business opportunity becomes available, such persons may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and their other business interests. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.

 

 

NOTE 6 - LINE OF CREDIT

 

On June 25, 2015, the company received a line of credit in the amount of $150,000 from Clear Water Technologies which bears interest at a rate of 2% per month, due and payable within 60 days. The Company has borrowed $50,000 to date, and received a verbal extension. However, the Company is in negotiations with the lender regarding the repayment of debt.

 

 

NOTE 7 - CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS

 

The Company was investing in a colocation facility for a turn-key marijuana production and processing location on behalf of a future client. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had completed the Washington State Liquor Control Board approved site plan, consulted the client and capitalized $97,450 for work in progress at this site. However, a variety of operational and client monetary difficulties combined to end the project without completion, and for the costs incurred to date offered no further economic benefit to the Company. Accordingly, this construction-in-process was fully impaired during the quarter ending June 30, 2015.

 

 

NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events from June 30, 2015 through the date the financial statements are issued, and has determined that no such events have occurred.

Overview of Current Operations

 

History and Organization

 

The Company was organized April 26, 2010 (Date of Inception) under the laws of the State of Nevada, as General Cleaning and Maintenance. On March 15, 2013, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State to change its corporate name to: IPOWorld. The original business of the Company was to provide a wide range of janitorial and cleaning services for clients. IPOWorld incorporated MSPR, a Nevada corporation, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of IPOWorld on November 24, 2014. As the Company underwent a change of control and management, it shifted its business to creating a portfolio of real estate properties that service the cannabis industry. The Company business focus includes consulting, construction, property management and land/equipment leasing to licensed cannabis production and processing clients.

Our Business

 

IPOWorld is focused on creating a portfolio of real estate properties that service the cannabis industry. We are in the business of consulting, construction, property management and land/equipment leasing to licensed cannabis production and processing clients. We currently do not grow, harvest, distribute, market nor sell cannabis. The company acquires and/or leases properly zoned land and related facilities with the intent to build and/or do leasehold improvements to existing buildings and rent to licensed tenants for their operations. Lessees pay rent and other management fees for the use of these properties, all in compliance with applicable local and state laws and regulations.

 

IPOWorld is a single-source, integrated engineering and construction management firm that specializes in build-to-succeed cannabis facilities. We utilize the highest quality components and newest technologies to virtually meet any licensees requirements. Our independent contractors consists of design engineers, licensed contractors, steel building manufacturers, specialty licensed subcontractors and outside consultants. IPOWorld can design, manage and build-out a new or existing building and transform it into a state-of-the-art marijuana growing/processing operation.

 

The IPOWorld lease and consult model allows clients to avoid having to seek an equity partner for capitalization and funding of their licensed growing operations. The Company simply provides state approved grower/processors with its infrastructure asset in exchange for premium monthly rent and management fees.

 

The Company was investing in a colocation facility for a turn-key marijuana production and processing location on behalf of a client. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had completed the Washington State Liquor Control Board approved site plan, consulted the client and capitalized $97,450 for work in progress at this site. However, a variety of operational and client monetary difficulties combined to end the project without completion, and without opportunity for further economic benefit to the Company. Accordingly, this work-in-process was fully impaired during the quarter ending June 30, 2015.

 

 

Industry Overview

 

Currently four states, Colorado, Washington, Oregon and Alaska, have completely legalized marijuana for medical and recreational use. Nineteen other states plus the District of Columbia have laws legalizing marijuana for use by medical patients. In 2013 the Colorado medical marijuana industry had over 100,000 licensed patients producing revenues exceeding $200 million. A Colorado State University study predicts when recreational use becomes legal in 2014, the user base will increase dramatically from 108,000 patients to 652,000 customers and annual State revenues are projected to increase to over $600 million.

 

At present, there are over one million registered holders of medical marijuana cards in the United States. If the average number of medical marijuana patients in states with legal medical marijuana were extrapolated to all 50 states, the total number of medical marijuana users as of the end 2013 would theoretically have been 2,421,069.

 

The average medical marijuana user spends approximately $2,000 a year. This would set the national medical marijuana market at approximately $50 billion. When taking in to account the large multiple that exists from the newly expanding recreational market, some experts predict the annual marijuana nationwide market may reach as high as $120 billion.

Company Strategy

 

IPOWorld management believes that creating infrastructure alone does not necessarily insure a financially successful operation. As such, the Company provides licensees with access to professional consultants that have extensive hands-on experience as actual commercial cannabis growers, processors and dispensary owners. This access to expert knowledge is an important piece to the potential future success of grower/processor clients.

 

IPOWorld intends to provide the following consulting services to its licensee production/processing clients:

 

·Business Planning

·Preparation of Applications for Licensing

·Define Start-up Costs

·Operational Analysis

·Preparation of Operating Plans for Licensing

·Cultivation/Processing Management Software

·Real Estate or Facility Sourcing

·Cultivation Facility Design and Build Out

·Selection of Necessary Equipment

·Select Contractors

·Supervise Build Out

·Point of Sale Systems

·Regulatory and Licensing

·Compliance and Applications

Branding

 

Management believes branding is a critical component to the successful distribution and sales of cannabis. As such, the Company has identified and is currently negotiating licensing contracts with international personalities that are intimately associated with the product.

 

Management plans to open a progressive agency that will represent and license multiple brands. These brands will create loyalty in the marketplace and raise sales to consumers. The agency will charge a “per label” branding fee to growers and will charge advertising fees to dispensaries to carry products and drive foot traffic via social media.

 

IPOWorld’s ultimate goal is to create recognizable cannabis brands that elevate consumer expectations through the consistent quality and consistency of its clients products which will be provided to state approved cannabis dispensaries.

 

MSPR Subsidary

 

IPOWorld incorporated MSPR, a Nevada corporation, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of IPOWorld on November 24, 2014. It is management's intention that the subsidiary act as a separate entity that provides security and protection services for IPOWorld's and other businesses operations. The subsidiary will be a distinct company with different financial, investment and operating characteristics so that each company can adopt their own business strategies and objectives tailored to their respective markets.

 

Recent Events

 

Management has identified and is negotiating a Letter of Intent with the Cahuilla Indian Tribe located in Anza, CA. Once an Agreement is executed, we will have the following responsibilities 1) to create a tribal council approved site plan for a properly zoned cannabis production and processing location on sovereign tribal land; 2) to construct and deliver an indoor/outdoor cannabis production and processing facility.

 

Competition

 

Our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, and marketing resources than we do and may succeed in developing products that would render our services obsolete or noncompetitive. In addition, many of these competitors have significantly greater experience than we do in their respective fields. Our ability to compete successfully will depend on our ability to develop proprietary products that reach the market in a timely manner and are technologically superior to, and/or are less expensive than, other products/services on the market. Current competitors or other companies may develop technologies and services that are more effective than ours. Our technologies and services may be rendered obsolete or uneconomical by technological advances or entirely different approaches developed by one or more of our competitors. The existing approaches of our competitors or new approaches or technology developed by our competitors may be more effective than those developed by us.

 

Facilities

 

Our offices are currently located at 1785 S. Escondido Blvd, Suite D, Escondido CA 92025 telephone: (719) 445-1234. Management believes that its current facilities are adequate for its needs through the next twelve months, and that, should it be needed, suitable additional space will be available to accommodate expansion of the Company's operations on commercially reasonable terms, although there can be no assurance in this regard.

Results of Operations for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014.

 

We earned no revenues since our inception on April 26, 2010 through June 30, 2015. We do not anticipate earning any significant revenues within the next 12 months.

 

For the period from inception through June 30, 2015, we generated no income from operations. Since our inception on April 26, 2010 through June 30, 2015, we experienced an accumulated net loss of $489,426. Our loss was attributed to organizational expenses, audit, consulting, legal fees, interest expense and impairment charges.

 

For the three months ending June 30, 2015, our total expenses were $114,602, which represented audit and review fees of $6,000, general and administrative fees of $11,152 and an impairment of fixed assets of $97,450. This as compared to expenses of $1,750 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 of which $1,750 were for audit fees. We experienced a net loss of $114,602 for the three months ending June 30, 2015 as compared to a net loss of $1,750 for the three months ending June 30, 2014.

 

For the nine months ending June 30, 2015, our total expenses were $398,534, which represented audit fees of $13,750, general and administrative fees of $65,334, consulting fees to a related party of $22,000, an impairment of fixed assets of $97,450, and interest expense of $200,000. This as compared to expenses of $8,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 of which $8,000 were for audit fees incurred during the nine months. We experienced a net loss of $398,534 for the nine months ending June 30, 2015, as compared to a net loss of $8,000 for the nine months ending June 30, 2014. We anticipate our operating expenses will increase as we enhance our operations.

 

In our September 30, 2014 year-end financials, our auditor issued an opinion that our financial condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Going Concern

 

The financial statements included with this quarterly report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2015, the Company has not recognized any revenues and has accumulated operating losses of approximately $489,426 since inception. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful completion of additional financing arrangements and its ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations. Management plans to raise equity capital to finance the operating and capital requirements of the Company. Amounts raised will be used for further development of the Company's products, to provide financing for marketing and promotion, to secure additional property and equipment, and for other working capital purposes. While the Company is putting forth its best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.

 

Summary of any product research and development that we will perform for the term of our plan of operation.

 

The Company does not anticipate performing any product research or development.

 

17

 

 
 

 

 

Expected purchase or sale of plant and significant equipment.

 

At such time, we do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any plant or significant equipment.

 

Significant changes in the number of employees.

As of June 30, 2015, we did not have any employees. We are dependent upon our sole officer and a director for our future business development. As our operations expand we anticipate the need to hire additional employees; however, the exact number is not quantifiable at this time.

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our balance sheet as of June 30, 2015 reflects $49,249 in current assets and $56,000 in current liabilities. A critical component of our operating plan impacting our continued existence is the ability to obtain additional capital through additional equity and/or debt financing.

 

The Company has limited financial resources available, which has had an adverse impact on the Company's liquidity, activities and operations. These limitations have adversely affected the Company's ability to obtain certain projects and pursue additional business. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. In order for the Company to remain a Going Concern it will need to find additional capital. Additional working capital may be sought through additional debt or equity private placements, additional notes payable to banks or related parties (officers, directors or stockholders), or from other available funding sources at market rates of interest, or a combination of these. The ability to raise necessary financing will depend on many factors, including the nature and prospects of any business to be acquired and the economic and market conditions prevailing at the time financing is sought. No assurances can be given that any necessary financing can be obtained on terms favorable to the Company, or at all.

 

Our sole officer/director has agreed to contribute funds to the operations of the Company, in order to keep it fully reporting for the next twelve (12) months, without seeking reimbursement for funds contributed.

 

As a result of the Company's current limited available cash, no officer or director received cash compensation through the quarter ended June 30, 2015. The Company has no employment agreements in place with its officers. Mr. Heckerson, the sole officer and a director, does not receive cash or stock compensation for management services he provides to the Company. The Company has estimated the value of these services at $10,000 per quarter.

 

IPOWorld Funding Requirements

 

Future funding could result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities and/or amortization expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets, which could materially adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. Any future acquisitions of other businesses, technologies, services or product(s) might require the Company to obtain additional equity or debt financing, which might not be available on terms favorable to the Company, or at all, and such financing, if available, might be dilutive.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results or operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) defines “critical accounting policies” as those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Not all of the accounting policies require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments or estimates. However, the following policies could be deemed to be critical within the SEC definition.

 

In arriving at our critical accounting estimates, factors considered were how accurate the estimate or assumptions have been in the past, how much the estimate or assumptions have changed and how reasonably likely such change may have a material impact. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are more fully described in Note 1 to the our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of September 30, 2014 and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, included in the Annual Report filed on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates since September 30, 2014.

 

New Accounting Standards

 

For a discussion of new accounting pronouncements affecting the Company, refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated condensed Financial Statements.

 

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

On June 25, 2015, the company received a line of credit in the amount of $150,000 from Clear Water Technologies which bears interest at a rate of 2% per month, due and payable within 60 days. The Company has borrowed $50,000 to date, and received a verbal extension. Further, the negotiation of the repayment of debt is currently underway so that a resolution can be made to the satisfaction of both parties.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Based upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures performed by our Chief Executive Officer as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures have not been effective as a result of a weakness in the design of internal control over financial reporting identified below. The material weaknesses noted below were identified by our CEO and President in connection with the review of our financial statements as of June 30, 2015.

 

As used herein, “disclosure controls and procedures” mean controls and other procedures of our company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Accounting Officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on management’s evaluation under the framework, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2015.

 

We identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting primarily attributable to (i) lack of segregation of incompatible duties;(ii) lack of an audit committee comprising of independent board members; and (ii) insufficient Board of Directors representation. The material weaknesses described above may have been part of a misreporting of our financial condition and results of operations for the quarters ended December 30, 2014 and March 31, 2015.The company plans to restate and file amended quarterly reports within the next ninety days.

 

These weaknesses are due to our inadequate staffing during the period covered by this report and our lack of working capital to hire additional staff having the requisite accounting and SEC reporting knowledge. Management has retained an outside, independent financial consultant to record and review all financial data, as well as prepare our financial reports, in order to mitigate one of these weaknesses. Although management will periodically re-evaluate this situation, at this point it considers that the risk associated with such lack of segregation of duties and the potential benefits of adding employees to segregate such duties are not cost justified. We intend to hire additional accounting personnel to assist with financial reporting as soon as our finances will allow. Further, the CEO and President believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors resulted in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

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

 

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting

 

There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
