Note 2 - Organization and Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies
MANASOTA GROUP, Inc. f/k/a
HORIZON BANCORPORATION, Inc, Bradenton, Florida (the “Company” or “we”) was a one-bank holding company with
respect to Horizon Bank, Bradenton, Florida (the “Bank”). The Company commenced banking operations on October
25, 1999 when the Bank opened for business. On September 10, 2010, the Company ceased to be a bank holding company when
the Florida Office of Financial Regulation (the “OFR”) closed the Bank and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(the “FDIC”) was appointed as receiver. The FDIC sold the Bank to the Bank of the Ozarks. The Bank was primarily engaged
in the business of obtaining deposits and providing commercial, consumer, and real estate loans to the general public. Bank
deposits were each insured up to $250,000 by the FDIC subject to certain limitations. After September 10, 2010, the Company’s
business consisted of owning, maintaining and holding for lease its sole asset, an approximately 7,000 square foot office building
located at 900 53
rd
Ave E, Bradenton, FL (the “Building”). The Building was leased to Bank of the Ozarks
under a 3-year lease which expired on September 10, 2014. Subsequently the Building was leased to 1
st
Manatee Bank in
December of 2014 under a three year lease with an option to purchase.
The Company is authorized
to issue up to 25.0 million shares of its $.01 par value per share common stock. Each share is entitled to one vote
and shareholders have no preemptive or conversion rights. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were 1,809,912
shares Company’s common stock issued outstanding, 39,773 shares of which were held as treasury stock. Additionally,
the Company is authorized to issue up to 1.0 million shares of its $.01 par value per share preferred stock, which may be designated
by the Company’s Board, without further action by the shareholders, for any proper corporate purpose with preferences, voting powers,
conversion rights, qualifications, special or relative rights and privileges which could adversely affect the voting power or other
rights of shareholders of common stock. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there was no designated preferred
stock and no shares issued or outstanding.
Use of Estimates.
The accounting
and reporting policies of the Company conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the financial statements,
management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk.
Cash is
maintained at a major financial institution and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has never
experienced any losses related to these balances. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that
it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on the accounts. As of March 31, 2015, all non-interest bearing checking accounts
were FDIC insured to a limit of $250,000. The Company did not have any interest-bearing accounts at March 31, 2015 or December
31, 2014, respectively.
Property
.
The Company’s
property consists of land, the Building and building improvements, and is stated at cost. The straight-line method is used in computing
depreciation over the estimated useful lives of the building and improvements of 10 to 40 years. Expenditures which significantly
increase values or extend useful lives are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Upon sale or retirement of property the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the respective accounts and
the resulting gain or loss is included in the current earnings.
The Company follows the
provisions of FASB ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, which establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived
assets such as property and equipment. The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held-and-used for impairment whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the undiscounted
expected future cash flows over the remaining useful life of a long-lived asset group is less than its carrying amount, the asset
is considered to be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized when management’s estimate of fair value, through outside
consultation or internal assessment of value is less than its carrying amount. There were no impairment charges for the periods
ended March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 related to these long-lived assets.
Income Taxes.
Income taxes are accounted
for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected
future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities
and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire
deferred tax asset will not be realized. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not”
that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized
is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting
the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company is no longer subject to examination by U.S.
taxing authorities for years prior to 2010.
Sales Taxes.
Amounts collected on behalf
of governmental authorities for sales taxes and other similar taxes are reported on a net basis.
Revenue Recognition.
The Company recognizes
its rental revenues based on the terms on its signed lease with tenant on a straight-line basis.
Earnings Per Share.
Basic
earnings per share are determined by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted
income per share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding increased by
the number of common shares that would be issued assuming exercise of stock options. This also assumes that only options
with an exercise price below the existing market price will be exercised. In computing net income per share, the Company
uses the treasury stock method.
Subsequent Events
. Management has evaluated
subsequent events through October 7, 2016, the date the financial statements were issued
.
Note 3 – Recently Issued Accounting
Pronouncements
The Company’s management
does not believe that any recent codified pronouncements by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) will
have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Note 4 – Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements and notes
have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
The Company sold its significant operating asset
and has had no operating activity subsequent to September 29, 2015. There are no assurances that the Company will be able. in the
next twelve months, to either (1) consummate a business combination transaction with a privately-owned business seeking to become
a public company and, if successful in such consummation, achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow
from operations; or (2) otherwise obtain additional financing through either private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing
necessary to support the Company’s current working capital requirements and to retire existing liabilities and obligations, if
any, on a timely basis. To the extent that funds generated from any private placements, public offerings and/or bank
financing are insufficient to support the Company, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance
can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company.
If, during the next twelve months, a business
combination is not consummated and no additional operating capital is received, the Company will be forced to rely on existing
cash on hand and upon additional funds loaned by management and/or significant stockholders to preserve the integrity of the corporate
entity. In the event, the Company is unable to acquire advances from management and/or significant stockholders, who
have no legal obligation to provide any further funding, the Company may not continue its operations.
