NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - GENERAL

 

Darkstar Ventures, Inc. (“the Company” or “we”) was incorporated on May 8, 2007 under the laws of the State of Nevada. 

 

The Company established a wholly-owned subsidiary in Israel, Bengio Urban Renewals Ltd ("Bengio")., to focus its limited resources in the area of real estate development, particularly focusing on the urban renewal market in Israel.

 

The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional funding to operationalize the Company’s current business plan.

  

NOTE 2 - INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of January 31, 2017 and for the six months then ended, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States relating to the preparation of financial statements for interim periods. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended January 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending July 31, 2017.

 

The July 31, 2016 Condensed Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2016.

   

NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The significant accounting policies applied in the annual financial statements of the Company as of July 31, 2016, are applied consistently in these financial statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

 

NOTE 4 - GOING CONCERN

 

The Company has not commenced planned principal operations. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $694,081 as of January 31, 2017. In addition, the Company continues to have negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

There can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or that funds will be available from external sources such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources. The lack of additional capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise capital from external sources would force the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company’s existing stockholders.

 

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 5 - NEWLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

 

No new accounting standards have been adopted since the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2016 was filed.

 

NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

 

As of January 31, 2017 other current assets includes loans to an officer of the Company in the amount of $56,951. The loan is due on demand with no interest.

 

NOTE 7 - COMMON SHARES:

 

On April 14, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company has approved the issuance of 150,000,000 restricted shares under a subscription agreement with investors for total consideration of $150,000. During the period ended October 31, 2016, the Company received $120,000 of such subscription amounts.

 

NOTE 8 - LONG-TERM LOAN:

 

On February 28, 2016, Bengio and TCSM INC signed a loan agreement according to which TCSM would grant the Company a loan of up to $256,016 (NIS 1,000,000). As of January 31, 2017 the Company received loan installments of NIS 925,000. The loan bears interest at an annual rate of 25%. The principal and interest will be repaid at March 1, 2019.

 

On February 28, 2016 TCSM INC assigned its rights in the above loan agreement to a third party. The loan is secured by Avraham Bengio, the Company's majority holder of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock and its Sole Director, CEO and CFO in an amount of up to $172,826 (NIS 650,000).

Corporate Background and Business Overview

 

We were incorporated on May 8, 2007 in the State of Nevada. We are a development stage company that was originally established to offer eco-friendly health and wellness products to the general public via the internet. As we had previously disclosed, on November 20, 2012, we entered into a binding letter of intent (“LOI”) with Real Aesthetic, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Real Aesthetic”), to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock in exchange for common stock of the Company. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the LOI was subject to the completion of the due diligence investigation of both parties, execution and delivery of documentation for the transaction, consents from the respective boards of directors of both companies and any third parties and the delivery of audited financial statements by Real Aesthetic. Subsequently, we decided not to pursue the contemplated transaction with Real Aesthetic. The Company has since abandoned its business plan.

  

The Registrant has recently determined, through its recently established, wholly-owned new Israeli subsidiary, Bengio Urban Renewals Ltd to focus its limited resources in the area of real estate development, particularly focusing on the urban renewal market in Israel. We believe, based upon the current real estate market in Israel, that urban renewal projects present an opportunity for us to generate revenues and profits, which we have never experienced since our inception.  The basis for our belief is that in several major Israeli cities, there is virtually no more room to grow. As a result, several municipal governments have allowed older buildings to be renovated, thereby giving their respective cities the opportunity to develop new apartments to be added to or replacing existing buildings. 

 

Additionally, municipalities have express their concern that many buildings constructed before 1980 will be unable to withstand earthquakes. In Israel, very few apartment buildings are owned by a single person or entity and since the majority of apartments within buildings are privately owned, the burden to renovate buildings in order to render them safer in the event of a major earthquake primarily falls on the multiple owners of various apartment buildings and complexes. 

 

“Tama 38” is an Israeli national zoning plan whereby a contractor assumes the responsibility of renovating an apartment building. In exchange for covering all costs of renovations, securing building permits and paying requisite taxes, the contractor has is granted the right to build additional floors to the existing building and sell the apartments built on these floors. 

 

The apartment owners benefit by receiving a modernized building, strengthened against earthquakes, as well as the additional apartments added to their buildings. In some cases balconies, storage rooms, parking spaces and elevators may be added as well, further enhancing the building’s value.

 

“PinuiBinui” projects are defined as development where the residents of apartments are temporarily evacuated so that the buildings may be demolished and rebuilt.  The tenants then return to new apartments in the newly finished and renovated building.  The contractor pays all costs for demolition, construction, relocating apartment owners and renting their temporary homes during construction.  In exchange, the contractor adds new apartments in the building which are sold to generate profit.

 

  3  

 

  

As with “Tama 38,” the value of the apartments in the building is increased thereby benefitting the owners and the tenants return to a new, often larger and safer apartment in a building often with more amenities.

 

Since February 2016, the Registrant’s Board of Directors authorized the establishment of a new  wholly-owned Israeli subsidiary, Bengio Urban Renewals Ltd (“Bengio Urban”) to focus its limited resources in the area of real estate development, particularly focusing on the urban renewal market in Israel. To that end, the Registrant raised $150,000 from the sale of restricted shares to investors to fund the new real estate development operations of Bengio Urban, which has recently hired employees and has signed contracts with the current tenants of three buildings who have agreed to vacate the buildings so that they can be redeveloped into modern state of the art new residential buildings .

 

On February 16, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company and the holder of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the "Majority Consenting Stockholder"), together, executed a joint written consent to authorize and approve a Certificate of Amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized capital stock of the Company from 505,000,000 shares (the "Capital Stock"), consisting of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 (the "Common Stock") and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 (the "Preferred Stock"), to an authorized capital stock of the Corporation of 2,005,000,000 shares consisting of 2,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock and five million 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. It was also decided that the Board of Directors shall have the authority to establish one or more series of Preferred Stock and fix relative rights and preferences of any series of Preferred Stock, without any further action or approval of our stockholders.

    

Other than our current director and officer, we have no employees January 31 2017

 

Transfer Agent

 

We have engaged Vstock Transfer LLC, 77 Spruce Street, Suite 201, Cedarhurst, NY, 11516 as our stock transfer agent. Their telephone number is (212) 828-8436 and their fax number is (646) 536-3179. The transfer agent is responsible for all record-keeping and administrative functions in connection with our issued and outstanding common stock.

  

Results of Operations

 

Results of operations for the six months ended January 31 2017

 

The Company did not generate any revenues from operations for the six months ended January 31 2017

 

During the six months ended January 31 2017 the operating expenses and the net loss was $65,066 and $94,956 respectively. The operating expenses and net loss was primarily the result of professional fees, legal, auditing and other consulting fees associated with SEC compliance and operating expenses in the subsidiary from its commencement of its business activities .

 

We expect to continue to incur significant operating expenses. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability, which may not occur. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may be unable to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.

  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our cash balance as of January 31 2017 was $2,514. The Company is currently seeking to raise additional equity thru private placements to enable the continuation of its current TAMA 38 business plan ..

  

Going Concern Consideration

 

Our auditors have issued an opinion on our annual financial statements which includes a statement describing our going concern status. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills and meet our other financial obligations. This is because we have not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we begin marketing the product which cannot be guaranteed.

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 of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

A smaller reporting company, as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, is not required to provide the information required by this item.

   

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company's Chief Executive Officer, who is also the Chief Financial and Accounting Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management is required to apply their judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the CEO  concluded that, as of January 31 2017 , the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.   As a result of this evaluation, management identified the following deficiencies, which are deemed to be material weaknesses:

  

☐        Due to the size of the Company, there is a lack of segregation of duties, which would allow for proper processing, review and approval of transactions and events that have an impact on the Company’s financial results.

 

☐        The Company lacks a system to allow for the review and monitoring of internal control over financial reporting, which would mitigate concerns related to management’s override of controls.

 

☐        The Company lacks an independent Audit Committee, which can provide oversight of management and the financial reporting process.

   

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting for the six months ended January 31 2017 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
