APEX 1, INC. (f/k/a OZ SAFEROOMS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.)
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of September 30, 2014
(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 -  INTERIM UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The balance sheet of APEX 1, Inc. (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2014, and the statements of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months then ended, have not been audited.  However, in the opinion of management, such information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary to properly reflect the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2014, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three and nine months then ended.

 

Certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for an entire year.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to financial statements included in the Company’s financial statements as filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

 

NOTE 2 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

APEX 1, Inc., (formerly known as OZ Saferooms Technologies, Inc.), (the “Company”), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 21, 2010 and has been inactive since inception. The Company intends to serve as a vehicle to effect an asset acquisition, merger, exchange of capital stock or other business combination with a domestic or foreign business. On April 21, 2011, the Company underwent a change of ownership when OZ Saferooms Technologies, Inc. (an Oklahoma corporation), (OZ-OK), purchased 100% of the Company’s common stock from the Company’s then sole shareholder. Accordingly, the Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of OZ-OK. Subsequent to the acquisition of the Company’s common stock by OZ-OK, the Company changed its name to that of its new parent entity and then changed its name again to APEX 1, Inc.
 

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION - DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY

 

The Company is a development stage company as defined by ASC 915-10, "DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTITIES." All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company's development stage activities.

The Company has not earned any revenue from operations. Among the disclosures required are that the Company’s financial statements be identified as those of a development stage company, and that the statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows disclose activity since the date of the Company’s inception.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for financial information and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for smaller reporting companies. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the period from June 21, 2010 (Inception) to September 30, 2014 have been reflected herein.

 

USE OF ESTIMATES

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

8
 

 

CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

 

INCOME TAXES

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method as stipulated by ASC 740, "ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES". Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities or a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced to estimated amounts to be realized by the use of the valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is applied when in management's view it is more likely than not (50%) that such deferred tax will not be utilized.

 

The Company has adopted certain provisions under ASC 740, which provide interpretative guidance for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Effective with the Company's adoption of these provisions, interest related to the unrecognized tax benefits is recognized in the financial statements as a component of income taxes.

 

The adoption of ASC 740 did not have an impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

 

In the unlikely event that an uncertain tax position exists in which the Company could incur income taxes, the Company would evaluate whether there is a probability that the uncertain tax position taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. Reserve for uncertain tax positions would then be recorded if the Company determined it is probable that a position would be sustained upon examination or if a payment would have to be made to a taxing authority and the amount is reasonably estimable. As of September 30, 2014, the Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions that would result in the Company having a liability to the taxing authorities. The Company's tax returns are subject to examination by the regulatory tax authorities for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, 2011, and 2010.

 

BASIC EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

 

The Company follows ASC 260-10, "EARNINGS PER SHARE" in calculating the basic and diluted loss per share. The Company computes basic loss per share by dividing net loss and net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share considers the effect of common equivalent shares. There were no common share equivalents at September 30, 2014 and 2013.

 

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 820, "FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DISCLOSURES", ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value, as required by ASC 820, must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

 

9
 

 

The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their placement within the fair value

hierarchy.

 

IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

On June 10, 2014 the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, Development Stage Entities, (Topic 915), which eliminates the concept of a development stage entity (DSE) in its entirety from current accounting guidance. The removal of the DSE reporting requirements are effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Early adoption of the new standard is permitted. The Company has not opted for early adoption.

 

The Company does not expect the adoption of any other recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

 

NOTE 4 - GOING CONCERN

 

The Company's financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not established any source of revenue to cover its operating costs. The Company will engage in very limited activities without incurring any liabilities that must be satisfied in cash until a source of funding is secured. The Company will offer noncash consideration and seek equity lines as a means of financing its operations. If the Company is unable to obtain revenue producing contracts or financing or if the revenue or financing it does obtain is insufficient to cover any operating losses it may incur, it may substantially curtail or terminate its operations or seek other business opportunities through strategic alliances, acquisitions or other arrangements that may dilute the interests of existing stockholders.

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, and do not reflect any adjustments related to the uncertainty surrounding our recurring losses or accumulated deficit. The Company currently has no revenue source and is incurring losses. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Management plans to finance the Company's operations through the issuance of equity and debt securities. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

 

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 secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

On April 21, 2011, pursuant to a “Share Purchase Agreement”, OZ Saferooms Technologies, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation (OZ-OK), purchased 100% of the Company’s common stock. Accordingly, the Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of OZ-OK. OZ-OK advanced the Company $117,878 to pay for operational expenses, which is the balance owed by the Company to OZ-OK as of September 30, 2014.

NOTE 6 - SHAREHOLDER’S EQUITY

In year 2011, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized common shares to 250,000,000 from the previous amount of 100,000,000.

Upon the Company’s formation, the Board of Directors issued 10,000,000 shares of common stock for $1,000 in services to the founding shareholder of the Company.

The stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet contains the following classes of capital stock as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Common stock, $ 0.0001 par value: 250,000,000 shares authorized; 10,000,000 shares issued and outstanding.

 

Preferred stock, $ 0.0001 par value: 5,000,000 shares authorized; but not issued and outstanding.

 

NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Management has evaluated subsequent events up to and including November 17, 2014, which is the date the financial statements were available for issuance, and determined there are no subsequent event disclosures.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES THERETO INCLUDED HEREIN.

THIS DISCUSSION CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, SUCH AS STATEMENTS RELATING TO OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, PLANS, OBJECTIVES, FUTURE PERFORMANCE AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS. THESE STATEMENTS RELATE TO EXPECTATIONS CONCERNING MATTERS THAT ARE NOT HISTORICAL FACTS. THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS REFLECT OUR CURRENT VIEWS AND EXPECTATIONS BASED LARGELY UPON THE INFORMATION CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO US AND ARE SUBJECT TO INHERENT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. ALTHOUGH WE BELIEVE OUR EXPECTATIONS ARE BASED ON REASONABLE ASSUMPTIONS, THEY ARE NOT GUARANTEES OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE AND THERE ARE A NUMBER OF IMPORTANT FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED BY SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. BY MAKING THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, WE DO NOT UNDERTAKE TO UPDATE THEM IN ANY MANNER EXCEPT AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY OUR DISCLOSURE OBLIGATIONS IN FILINGS WE MAKE WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS. OUR ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM OUR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.

THE COMPANY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 INCLUDES A "GOING CONCERN" DISCLOSURE NOTE THAT DESCRIBES SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT THE COMPANY'S ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.

On June 21, 2010, the Company offered and sold 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock to Richard Chiang, its sole officer and director, in exchange for incorporation fees and annual resident agent fees in the State of Delaware, and developing our business concept and plan. The Company sold these shares of Common Stock under the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

 

We relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended for the above issuances. We believed that Section 4(2) was available because:

 

  None of these issuances involved underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions;
     
  We placed restrictive legends on all certificates issued;
     
  No sales were made by general solicitation or advertising;
     
  Sales were made only to accredited investors

 

In connection with the above transactions, we provided the following to all investors:

     
  Access to all our books and records.
     
  Access to all material contracts and documents relating to our operations.
     
  The opportunity to obtain any additional information, to the extent we possessed such information, necessary to verify the accuracy of the information to which the investors were given access.

 The Company’s Board of Directors has the power to issue any or all of the authorized but unissued Common Stock without stockholder approval. The Company currently has no commitments to issue any shares of common stock. However, the Company will, in all likelihood, issue a substantial number of additional shares in connection with a business combination. Since the Company expects to issue additional shares of common stock in connection with a business combination, existing stockholders of the Company may experience substantial dilution in their shares. However, it is impossible to predict whether a business combination will ultimately result in dilution to existing shareholders. If the target has a relatively weak balance sheet, a business combination may result in significant dilution. If a target has a relatively strong balance sheet, there may be little or no dilution.

12
 

The Company was acquired by Oz Saferooms Technologies, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation, on April 21, 2011, with a plan to combine with the Company. If a combination takes place, it will likely take the form of a merger, stock-for-stock exchange or stock-for-assets exchange (the "business combination") so as to structure the business combination to be within the definition of a tax-free reorganization under Section 351 or Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in completing any combination.

 

The Company desires to have its shares publicly traded. It is anticipated that any securities issued in any such business combination would be issued in compliance with a public offering upon registration of the securities or in reliance upon exemption from registration under applicable federal and state securities laws. If such registration occurs, it will be undertaken by the surviving entity after the Company has entered into an agreement for a business combination or has consummated a business combination. The issuance of additional securities and their potential sale into any trading market which may develop in the Company's securities may depress the market value of the Company's securities in the future if such a market develops, of which there is no assurance.

 

Any merger or acquisition effected by the Company can be expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the percentage of shares held by the Company's shareholders at such time.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Comparison of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 with the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013:

 

Revenues – The Company did not recognize any revenue in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

 

Operating Expenses – Operating expenses for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2014 totaled $19,408 and $4,336, respectively, as compared to $21,072 and $4,808 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $1,664 and $472, respectively. The decrease is comprised of (a) an increase in general and administrative expenses of $336 and a decrease of $472, respectively, and (b) a decrease in professional fees of $2,000 and $-0-, respectively, incurred in the nine and three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the nine and three months ended September 30, 2013.

 

Loss From Operations and Net Loss – Loss from operations and net loss for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2014 was $19,408 and $4,336, respectively, as compared to $21,072 and $4,808 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $1,664 and $472, respectively. The details of the decrease in loss from operations and net loss is explained in the preceding paragraph.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources – As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had no assets and had current liabilities of $118,878 and $99,470, respectively. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $117,878 and $98,938, respectively, of the aforementioned current liabilities consisted of funds advanced to the Company by its parent to fund operating expenses and the other current liabilities of $1,000 and $532, respectively, consisted of accrued expenses. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had a working capital deficit of $118,878 and $99,470, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities was $18,408 and $25,572, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. This $7,164 decrease in cash used in operating activities is attributable to (a) a decrease of $1,664 in net loss and (b) an increase of $5,550 in accrued expenses. The Company did not have any investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. The Company’s parent was the source for the net cash provided by financing activities of $18,408 and $25,572, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

An investment in the company is highly speculative in nature and involves an extremely high degree of risk.

 

Our Business Is Difficult To Evaluate Because We Have No Operating History.

 

As we have no operating history or revenue and only minimal assets, there is a risk that we will be unable to continue as a going concern and consummate a business combination. We have had no recent operating history nor any revenues or earnings from operations since inception. We have no significant assets or financial resources. We will, in all likelihood, sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues, at least until the consummation of a business combination. This may result in our incurring a net operating loss that will increase continuously until we can consummate a business combination with a profitable business opportunity.

 

Management Intends To Devote Only A Limited Amount Of Time To Seeking A Target Company Which May Adversely Impact Our Ability To Identify A Suitable Acquisition Candidate.

 

While seeking a business combination, management anticipates devoting no more than a few hours per week to our affairs. Our officers have not entered into written employment agreements with us and are not expected to do so in the foreseeable future. This limited commitment may adversely impact our ability to identify and consummate a successful business combination.

 

The Time And Cost Of Preparing A Private Company To Become A Public Reporting Company May Preclude Us From Entering Into A Merger Or Acquisition With The Most Attractive Private Companies.

 

Target companies that fail to comply with SEC reporting requirements may delay or preclude acquisition. Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act require reporting companies to provide certain information about significant acquisitions, including certified financial statements for the company acquired, covering one, two, or three years, depending on the relative size of the acquisition. The time and additional costs that may be incurred by some target entities to prepare these statements may significantly delay or essentially preclude consummation of an acquisition. Otherwise suitable acquisition prospects that do not have or are unable to obtain the required audited statements may be inappropriate for acquisition so long as the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act are applicable.

 

The Company May Be Subject To Further Government Regulation Which Would Adversely Affect Our Operations.

 

Although we will be subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, management believes we will not be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), since we will not be engaged in the business of investing or trading in securities. If we engage in business combinations which result in our holding passive investment interests in a number of entities, we could be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act. If so, we would be required to register as an investment company and could be expected to incur significant registration and compliance costs. We have obtained no formal determination from the Securities and Exchange Commission as to our status under the Investment Company Act and, consequently, violation of the Act could subject us to material adverse consequences.

 

There Is Currently No Trading Market For Our Common Stock.

 

Outstanding shares of our Common Stock cannot be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred unless subsequently registered pursuant to, or exempt from registration under, the Securities Act and any other applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations. These restrictions will limit the ability of our stockholders to liquidate their investment.

Our Business Will Have No Revenues Unless And Until We Merge With Or Acquire An Operating Business.

 

We are a development stage company and have had no revenues from operations. We may not realize any revenues unless and until we successfully merge with or acquire an operating business.

 

The Company Intends To Issue More Shares In A Merger Or Acquisition, Which Will Result In Substantial Dilution.

 

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of a maximum of 250,000,000 shares of common stock and a maximum of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Any merger or acquisition effected by us may result in the issuance of additional securities without stockholder approval and may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing stockholders. Moreover, the common stock issued in any such merger or acquisition transaction may be valued on an arbitrary or non-arm’s-length basis by our management, resulting in an additional reduction in the percentage of common stock held by our then existing stockholders. Our Board of Directors has the power to issue any or all of such authorized but unissued shares without stockholder approval. To the extent that additional shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock are issued in connection with a business combination or otherwise, dilution to the interests of our stockholders will occur and the rights of the holders of Common Stock might be materially adversely affected.

 

Because We May Seek To Complete A Business Combination Through A “Reverse Merger”, Following Such A Transaction We May Not Be Able To Attract The Attention Of Major Brokerage Firms.

 

Additional risks may exist since we will assist a privately held business to become public through a “reverse merger.” Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of our Company since there is no incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our common stock. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will want to conduct any secondary offerings on behalf of our post-merger company in the future.

 

We Cannot Assure You That Following A Business Combination With An Operating Business, Our Common Stock Will Be Listed On NASDAQ Or Any Other Securities Exchange.

 

Following a business combination, we may seek the listing of our common stock on NASDAQ or the American Stock Exchange. However, we cannot assure you that following such a transaction, we will be able to meet the initial listing standards of either of those or any other stock exchange, or that we will be able to maintain a listing of our common stock on either of those or any other stock exchange. After completing a business combination, until our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ or another stock exchange, we expect that our common stock would be eligible to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board, another over-the-counter quotation system, or on the “pink sheets,” where our stockholders may find it more difficult to dispose of shares or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock. In addition, we would be subject to an SEC rule that, if it failed to meet the criteria set forth in such rule, imposes various practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities governed by the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, such rule may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling our common stock, which may further affect its liquidity. This would also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital following a business combination.

 

There Is No Public Market For Our Common Stock, Nor Have We Ever Paid Dividends On Our Common Stock.

 

There is no public trading market for our common stock and none is expected to develop in the foreseeable future unless and until we complete a business combination with an operating business and such business files a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

15
 

Additionally, we have never paid dividends on our Common Stock and do not presently intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that any funds available for payment of dividends will be re-invested into the Company to further its business strategy.

 

Authorization of Preferred Stock.

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by its Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. In the event of issuance, the preferred stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of its authorized preferred stock, there can be no assurance that we will not do so in the future.

 

Control by Management.

 

Management currently owns 100% of all the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company. Consequently, management has the ability to control the operations of the Company and will have the ability to control substantially all matters submitted to stockholders for approval, including:

 

  Election of the board of directors;
     
  Removal of any directors;
     
  Amendment of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws; and
     
  Adoption of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination.

 

Andrew J. Zagorski, our Chief Executive Officer and Director, is the Chief Executive Officer and Director and controlling stockholder of OZ Saferooms Technologies, Inc. and may be deemed the beneficial owner of the 10,000,000 shares of our common stock owned by it. Accordingly, this concentration of ownership by itself may have the effect of impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business consolidation, or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer for the common stock.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, we assessed, as of September 30, 2014, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This assessment was based on criteria established in the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

 

Internal control over financial reporting is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that:

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective, due to Mr. Zagorski serving as our sole officer and director. Until such time as the Company is able to retain a chief financial officer and/or another director, there will be deficiencies in our internal controls of our disclosure controls and procedures.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management, which is comprised of our chief executive officer who also serves as the Company’s chief financial officer (our principal executive officer and our principal financial and accounting officer) conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2014 based on the framework stated by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

 

Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become adequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Based on its evaluation as of September 30, 2014, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control efficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The material weakness relates to the following:

 

17
 
1.Lack of a formal accounting department – We do not have an accounting department. We engage an outside independent certified public accountant (CPA) to prepare our books and records and financial statements on a quarterly and annual basis. Due to the relative lack of inactivity, the accounting transactions are only recorded quarterly and annually and not when the transactions occur.

 

2.Lack of segregation of duties – The chief executive officer also serves as the Company’s chief financial officer although his experience and training are not in the accounting and financial industries. He approves all financial transactions including vendor invoices and payment of said invoices without any concurrent external review.

 

In order to mitigate the aforementioned material weaknesses to the fullest extent possible, the Company engages an independent CPA who analyzes the transactions quarterly and annually and prepares the Company’s financial statements.

Changes in internal controls

Our management, with the participation our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation to determine whether any change in our internal controls over financial reporting occurred during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014.  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that no change occurred in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.
