Notes to the Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by Start Scientific, Inc. (the "Company") pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. The information furnished in the interim financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reported in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company has incurred operating losses of $16,834,065 from inception of the Company through December 31, 2016. The Company’s accumulated deficit at September 30, 2017 was $16,693,083 and had a working capital deficit, continued losses, and negative cash flows from operations. These factors combined, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans to address and alleviate these concerns are as follows:

The Company’s management continues to develop a strategy of exploring all options available to it so that it can develop successful operations and have sufficient funds, therefore, as to be able to operate over the next twelve months. The Company is attempting to improve these conditions by way of financial assistance through issuances of additional equity and by generating revenues through sales of products and services. No assurance can be given that funds will be available, or, if available, that it will be on terms deemed satisfactory to management. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTE 7 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

The Company analyzed the convertible notes for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815, “ Derivatives and Hedging,” and determined that the conversion options associated with two of its convertible notes from NOTE 4 above should be classified as a liability since the conversion options became effective at issuance resulting in there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement.

The Company determined its derivative liability to be a Level 2 fair value measurement and used the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The Black-Scholes model requires six basic data inputs: the exercise or strike price, time to expiration, the risk free interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate. Changes to these inputs could produce a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The fair value of each conversion option is estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

The derivative liability at September 30, 2017 consisted of the following:

	Original Note Face Value		Derivative Liability
Convertible note payable to an entity, interest at 8%, due on February 25, 2016, in default (A) from NOTE 4	$	52,500	$	39,129
Convertible note payable to an entity, interest at 10%, due on April 29, 2016, in default, (B) from NOTE 4		53,500		85,437
Totals	$	106,000	$	124,566

The derivative liability at December 31, 2016 consisted of the following:

	Original Note Face Value		Derivative Liability
Convertible note payable to an entity, interest at 8%, due on February 25, 2016, in default, net of discount of $1,183 (A)	$	52,500	$	84,744
Convertible note payable to an entity, interest at 10%, due on April 29, 2016, in default (B)		53,500		239,145
Totals	$	106,000	$	323,889

The above convertible notes contain variable conversion features based on the future trading price of the Company’s common stock. Therefore, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes is indeterminate. Due to the variable conversion terms of convertible notes (A) and (B) described in NOTE 4 above, it was determined at September 30, 2017 that there was a derivative liability associated with these notes. The fair values of the derivative liability at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $124,566 and $323,889, respectively, which are reported on the balance sheet. The Company recorded gains on the changes in the fair values of the derivative liability of $199,323 and $59,001, on the statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

NOTE 8 - EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

On January 8, 2016, the Company amended and restated its Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to be issued to 5,000,000,000. The par value of both the Preferred Stock and common stock was also changed from $0.0001 to $0.00001.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company issued an aggregate of 188,311,135 shares of its common stock for the conversion of various debt instruments in the amount of $52,856.

The Company did not engage in any equity transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded net income in the amount of $140,982. The reported net income is mainly derived from the gain on change in fair value of derivative liability, a non-taxable permanent difference. Accordingly, no income tax expense or reduction in the NOL has been recorded or disclosed, though taxable losses have increased the NOL in the current period by $95,000.

NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to September 30, 2017, the Company issued an aggregate of 140,800,000 shares of its common stock for the conversion of notes payable and accrued interest. The Company has evaluated subsequent events for the period of September 30, 2017 through the date the financial statements were issued, and concluded there were no other events or transactions occurring during this period that required recognition or disclosure in its financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

You should read the following discussion of the Company's financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the filing of the company’s latest annual 10-K. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding our expectations, beliefs, intentions, or future strategies that are signified by the words "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "believes," or similar language. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward looking statements. We caution you that Start Scientific’ business and financial performance is subject to substantial risks and uncertainties.

Overview

Prior to April 2012, we were a reseller of technology-related hardware and software, including laptops, desktops, networking devices, telecommunication systems and networks, servers and software. In April, 2012 in connection with the acquisition of two separate one-fourth (1/4) working interests in certain oil and gas leases located in Yazoo County, Mississippi, our principal business became the exploration, development, and production of oil and gas interests.

On January 2, 2015, the Company entered into a Farmout Agreement with BPS Operating Services LLC, located in Jackson, Mississippi. The Company had until April 1, 2015 to tender $500,000 for the first well to be drilled. The production interest includes 40 acres around the new well and the Company will earn a 75% working interest before payout, and a 60% working interest after payout. All of the production facilities, salt water disposal systems, and 33 well bores are in place. The Company may drill additional wells for $400,000 per well within 60 days of completion of each previously drilled well completion. No payments towards this Farmout Agreement have been made yet by the Company as of the date of this quarterly report.

On January 21, 2015, the Company entered into a Farmout Agreement with Durban Energy, Inc., located in Jackson, Mississippi. The Company will receive 100% of the net revenue until payout of all costs, at which time the Company will assign a 25% working interest to Durban and partners. There is a 30% royalty burden on the leases, which means that before payout the Company will have 70% of net revenue and after payout the Company will have 52.5% of net revenue and Durban will have 17.5% of net revenue. Each well will be treated separately for payout calculation. No payments towards this Farmout Agreement have been made yet by the Company as of the date of this quarterly report.

Results of Operations

Following is our discussion of the relevant items affecting results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Professional fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $630 compared to $2,036 during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Due to the decrease in business activity, legal and accounting fees have decreased as expected.

The Securities and Exchange Commission defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” to mean a Company's controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange 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 an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company maintains such a system of controls and procedures in an effort to ensure that all information which it is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the SEC's rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to principal executive and principal financial officers to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the objectives of timely alerting them to material information required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC reports and of ensuring that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified. The Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer also concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report to provide reasonable assurance of the achievement of these objectives.
