NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2017
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
DATA BACKUP SOLUTIONS, INC. (the “Company”, or “Data Backup”) is a Florida corporation incorporated on May 25, 2014 as Formigli Inc. In December, 2015 the Company changed its name to Data Backup, Inc., and on November 4, 2016, the Company changed its name to Data Backup Solutions Inc.
We were previously engaged in in the global exclusive distribution of Formigli Bicycles.
On December 3, 2015 the Company increased its authorized share capital from 100,000,000 shares to 500,000,000 shares, no par value, and completed a 100 for 1 forward split for all issued and outstanding shares. All share and per share values have been retroactively impacted to reflect the forward split.
On January 28, 2016, Data Backup concluded a Share Exchange Agreement entered into with Liao Zhi De, whereby Data Backup issued 2,500,000 shares of its common stock to Mr. Liao in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Data Cloud Inc. a Nevada corporation (“Data Cloud”). Data Cloud owned 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Web Hosting Solutions Ltd., a United Kingdom company (“WHS”), which it purchased from James Holland for US$72,000 (GBP 47,000) on November 25, 2015.
At the time WHS had been providing web hosting solutions for approximately ten (10) years and became a UK private limited company in 2012. In connection with the Share Exchange Agreement, Data Backup elected to enter into the web hosting industry and discontinue its former business operations.
As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, Zhi De Liao became the Company’s sole executive officer and sole member of the Board of Directors. Concurrently, Mr. Liao, through his controlled entity, Letterston Investments Ltd., acquired 250,000,000 shares of common stock from our former sole officer and director Ms. Amy Chaffe. As a result, on the transaction date, Mr. Liao effectively controlled approximately 81% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
On February 1, 2016, our former officer and director Amy Chaffe entered into a Waiver, Release and Indemnity agreement with the Company where under she agreed to forgive certain debt in the amount of $167,000 due and payable at January 31, 2016 in exchange for $39,229 and the return of all assets related to the Formigli bicycles, and the sales operations thereunder. As a result of this divestiture, the Company reflected the operations of Formigli Bicycle as discontinued operations as at the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. In the current financial statement presentation, operations of the parent company, Data Backup, have all been allocated to retained earnings and additional paid in capital as at the transaction date.
The business combination as a result of the Share Exchange Agreement described above is deemed to be a reverse acquisition pursuant to SEC guidance, ASC 805-40-25-1, which provides that the merger of a private operating company into a public corporation with nominal net assets typically results in the owners and management of the private company having actual or effective operating control of the combined company after the transaction, with shareholders of the former public entity continuing only as passive investors. These transactions are considered to be capital transactions in substance, rather than business combinations. That is, the transaction is equivalent to the issuance of stock by the private company for the net monetary assets of the public corporation, accompanied by a recapitalization. The accounting is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except that no goodwill or other intangible should be recorded.
Accordingly, Data Backup (the legal acquirer) is considered the accounting acquiree and Data Cloud (the legal acquire) is considered the accounting acquirer. The consolidated financial statements of the combined entity are in substance those of Data Cloud, with assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses, of Data Backup being included effective from the date of completion of the Share Exchange Transaction, as Data Backup is deemed to be a continuation of the business of Data Cloud. The outstanding stock of Data Backup prior to the Share Exchange Transaction has been accounted for at its net book value and no goodwill has been recognized. All outstanding shares of Data Backup at the transaction date have been restated to reflect the effect of the business combination. As a result of the aforementioned transactions a total of 310,013,800 shares of Data Backup common stock issued and outstanding at December 31, 2015 are reflected as part of the recapitalization transactions impacted January 28, 2016 in our Statements of Stockholder’s Equity (Deficit). The shares issued as part of the Share Exchange Transaction are the reported opening equity balance.
On November 20, 2016, the Company completed a 100 for 1 reverse split for all issued and outstanding shares.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation.
On April 1, 2017, Data Backup Solutions, Inc. a Florida corporation (the “Company” or “Data Backup”), entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement”) with Yui Daing, an individual residing in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (the “Purchaser”), Data Cloud Inc., a Nevada corporation (hereinafter referred to as (“Data Cloud”), and Web Hosting Solutions Ltd., a United Kingdom private company limited by shares (hereinafter referred to as “WHS”). The transactions under the Purchase Agreement were completed on April 1, 2017 (the “Closing”). Prior to the Closing, Data Backup owned 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Data Cloud which owns 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Web Hosting Solutions Ltd., a United Kingdom private company limited by shares (“WHS”). Due to the continued consolidated losses experienced by the Company as the result of the losses of the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, WHS, which included $50,083 USD for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and $22,755 USD for the first three (3) months ended March 31, 2017, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement and transferred 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Data Cloud to a third party for nominal consideration in return. The Company’s only operations were carried on by WHS, and upon the Company transferring 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Data Cloud to a third party, the Company will likely become a shell company as defined in the rules promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. The Company is party to an existing Employment Agreement with James Holland, who is the former owner of WHS.
The Purchase Agreement was approved by the shareholders of the Company owning a majority of the voting stock of the Company on April 1, 2017. The Closing of the Purchase Agreement occurred on April 1, 2017.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars. The Company’s year-end is December 31.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 820 “
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
” establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.
These tiers include:
Level 1: defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2: defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3: defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
The carrying value of cash, prepayments and the Company’s loan from shareholder approximates its fair value due to their short-term maturity.
Share-based Expenses
ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, “Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees.” Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
There were $0 share-based expenses for the six month periods ended June 30, 2017, and 2016.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to FASB ASC 740 “
Income Taxes
”. Under ASC 740 deferred income taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax expense for the period, if any, and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
ASC 740 also provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. Under ASC 740, the impact of an uncertain tax position on the income tax return may only be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. At June 30, 2017, there were no unrecognized tax benefits.
Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes income (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
No potentially dilutive debt or equity instruments were issued or outstanding during the periods ended June 30, 2017 or 2016.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The new standard will make eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The standard will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018, with early application permitted. The standard will require adoption on a retrospective basis unless it is impracticable to apply, in which case we would be required to apply the amendments prospectively as of the earliest date practicable.
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new standard requires financial assets measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The standard will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020, with early application permitted. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or statement of cash flows upon adoption.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation — Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). The new guidance will change how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. Under existing accounting guidance, tax benefits and certain tax deficiencies arising from the vesting of share-based payments are recorded in additional paid-in-capital. The new guidance will require such benefits or deficiencies to be recognized as income tax benefits or expenses in the statement of operations. Companies are required to apply the new guidance prospectively. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires the lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than twelve months. For leases with a term of twelve months or less, the Company is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Further, the lease requires a finance lease to recognize both an interest expense and an amortization of the associated expense. Operating leases generally recognize the associated expense on a straight line basis. ASU 2016-02 requires the Company to adopt the standard using a modified retrospective approach and adoption beginning on January 1, 2019.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This new standard provides guidance on how entities measure certain equity investments and present changes in the fair value. This standard requires that entities measure certain equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2017.
We have reviewed all the recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and we do not believe any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company used net cash in operations of $26,210. In addition, the Company had a working capital deficit as of June 30, 2017 of $178,349. The Company believes that its existing capital resources may not be adequate to enable it to execute its business plan. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company estimates that it will require additional cash resources during 2017 based on its current operating plan and condition. The Company expects cash flows from operating activities to improve, primarily as a result of the disposition of subsidiaries and decreases in operating expenses. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. If we fail to generate positive cash flow or obtain additional financing, when required, we may have to modify, delay, or abandon some or all of our business and expansion plans.
NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
