Description of Business


Business Development


Berkeley Coffee & Tea, Inc. was incorporated on March 27, 2009, in the state of Nevada.  Our articles of incorporation authorized the issuance of 75,000,000 shares of common stock each at a par value of $0.001.  As of the date of this Report, we have sixty three (63) shareholders and 10,300,000 shares of our common stock are issued and outstanding.    


We have never declared bankruptcy or been in receivership, and have never been involved in any legal action or proceedings whatsoever.  Since becoming incorporated, we have not made any significant purchases or sale of assets, nor have we been involved in any mergers, acquisitions or consolidations.  We have no intention to merge with another company or to be acquired by another company, or to act as a blank check company.  We have a specific business plan and purpose.


Since our incorporation on March 27, 2009, our startup and development activities have included discussions with potential customers in the United States.  We travelled for meetings/discussions with the coffee plantation owners and farmers/exporters in Simao, Jinghong, Xishuangbanna, Mangshi and Baoshan, in Yunnan Province, China.  We have evaluated and tested the current coffee crop produced in Yunnan Province. We have compiled information on potential suppliers’ farm locations, current production, types, varieties and quality of coffee.  As of the date of this report, we have not purchased and sold any coffee from China.

How to communicate with us


Our principal executive office is located at Building B, #439, Jinyuan Ba Lu, Jiangqiao Town, Jiading District, Shanghai, 201812, China, and our corporate registered office is located at Suite 214, 1662 Highway 395 N, Minden, Nevada 89423.  Our telephone number is 011-8615021337898 and electronic mail address is sean@dts8coffee.com.


Business of Berkeley Coffee & Tea, Inc.   

The Company expects to generate revenue from the sale of coffee produced in China.  We plan to sell coffee grown in China directly to coffee wholesalers, coffee brokers and coffee roasters in the United States.  As of the date of this report, we do not have any customers; nor have we purchased, and sold any coffee beans in the United States.  We do not anticipate a disproportionately significant amount of revenue will be generated from any single customer.  Accordingly, we do not expect to depend on any single customer.


Coffee Bean Suppliers   


The Company plans to depend on coffee farmers in China to supply coffee from growing areas in Simao, Jinghong, Xishuangbanna, Mangshi and Baoshan, in Yunnan Province, China.  These farmers grow Catimor variety Arabica coffee.


We have developed informal relationships with coffee farmers/exporters that produce quality coffee in sufficient quantities to supply us the coffee.  We believe such relationships are mutually beneficial and may result in favorable coffee supplies, quality and costs.  We will not depend on any one farmer/exporter for the supply of all the coffee to the extent that a disruption in the supply from one farmer/exporter could not be remedied quickly and cost effectively. When we commence our operations, we plan to have formal agreements with the farmers/exporters to provide us with coffee.  As of April 30, 2011, we have not entered into any contracts or purchased any coffee from coffee farmers/exporters in Yunnan, China.   


Potential Customers        


The Company’s target market is the United States.  The potential customers in the United States include coffee roasters and coffee brokers.  Roasters operate roasting facilities and sell roasted coffee to third party retail coffee shops, grocery stores, hotels and restaurants, and through other food service distribution channels.  Coffee brokers purchase and sell the coffee beans to many smaller commercial and retail roasters.  As of the date of this report, we do not have any customers.  


Pricing and Competition   


We plan to sell Chinese grown coffee to potential customers; the coffee roasters and coffee brokers.  The roasters and brokers depend upon outside trading companies and exporters for their supply of coffee.  Roasters to maintain their coffee blends require a continuous supply of similar coffee in the future.  Accordingly, they routinely negotiate with the exporters or trading companies to purchase coffee tied to the specific New York “C” futures coffee contract market prices for future deliveries of coffee.  The New York “C” futures coffee contract trades on New York, Coffee Sugar & Cocoa Exchange.  Our plan is to sell our Chinese grown coffee, at a mutually negotiated price, to potential customers using the New York “C” futures coffee contract market prices as the “benchmark price”.  We will add a premium amount to the benchmark price for the coffee considered to be of a superior quality and deduct a discount amount from the benchmark price for coffee considered to be of an inferior quality.  The quality of the coffee is determined by testing the grades of coffee and by cup tasting for flavor.  As of the date of this report, we have not sold any coffee or entered into any contracts to sell to potential customers in the United States.

As of the date of this report, we do not own, rent or lease any property, real or otherwise.  We operate our business from the offices of Sean Tan, our sole director, officer and a stockholder of the Company.  These

ITEM 7

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


THE FOLLOWING PLAN OF OPERATION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE RELATED NOTES ELSEWHERE IN THIS ANNUAL REPORT.  THIS DISCUSSION CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS BASED UPON CURRENT EXPECTATIONS THAT INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, SUCH AS OUR PLANS, OBJECTIVES, EXPECTATIONS AND INTENTIONS.  OUR ACTUAL RESULTS AND THE TIMING OF CERTAIN EVENTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED IN THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF CERTAIN FACTORS, INCLUDING THOSE SET FORTH UNDER "DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS" AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS ANNUAL REPORT.

Review of operations for the period March 27, 2009 (date of inception) to APRIL 30, 2011


Since inception, March 27, 2009, our operation has been restricted to development activities that has included travel to Yunnan Province, China, (the coffee growing area), meeting with coffee farmers/exporters, cup tasting and evaluation of the coffee produced, discussions with potential customers in the United States, and preparation and filing of the Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission which was



7






declared effective January 28, 2011. On March 31, 2011, the Company completed the equity financing of $500,000 by selling 2,500,000 shares of common stock at $0.20 each. In April, 2011, we purchased Indonesian coffees (Mandheling and Java) to sell in Shanghai, China. We continued to evaluate 2011 coffee crops from farmers in Yunnan, China, to purchase and sell to potential customers in the United States.   


Going Concern


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has incurred material recurring losses from operations. For the year ended April 30, 2011, the Company incurred a loss of $127,220. As of April 30, 2011, the Company had accumulated deficit of $135,331, limited cash and unprofitable operations.  For the years ended April 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company sustained net losses of $127,220 and $6,011.  These factors, among others, indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to obtain additional financing and to generate revenue and cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis. Management raised equity financing of $500,000 by selling 2,500,000 shares of common stock at $0.20 each.  Success of the $500,000 financing has mitigated these factors, however, any failure to generate revenue will raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


As of April 30, 2011, we had $344,890 cash in the bank and accounts payable and accruals of $8,921.  Since inception, March 27, 2009, we have not generated any revenue and incurred accumulated losses of $135,331 to April 30, 2011.  Our net losses for the years ended April 30, 2011 and 2010 were $127,220 and $6,011. To date, we have financed our operations by selling 7,800,000 shares of our common stock to our sole director and officer and an investor for a cash payment of $14,200 and $7,100 paid for expenses.  Effective March 31, 2001, we completed an offering of 2,500,000 shares of common stock, under our S-1 Registration Statement, and received gross proceeds of $500,000. For the year ended April 30, 2011, we did not generate any revenue and incurred a loss of $127,220. The general and administration expenses for the year ended April 30, 2011, incurred included professional fees of $45,192, management fees $18,000, coffee consulting $57,209, office supplies $4,777 and bank charges of $2,042. The accumulated general and administration expenses incurred since inception, March 27, 2009, to April 30, 2011, was $135,331 which included $5,000 for travel, professional fees of $47,292, management fees $18,000, coffee consulting $57,209  office supplies $5,676 and bank charges of $2,154.  We do not have any long-term debts or obligations.

Plan of Operation


Since we were successful with the offering of 2,500,000 shares of common stock at $0.20 per share under our S-1 Registration Statement, and gross proceeds of $500,000 were received, this provides us with sufficient



8






funds to fully implement our business plan.  Specifically, our plan of operation for the next 12 months requires us to:


(a)

Purchase coffee from farmers/exporters in Yunnan, China.  The coffee season in China runs from October to March.  We plan to commence purchasing coffee in mid-to- late 2011, and to continue to do so through-out the coffee season.  Thereafter, we plan to continue purchasing the limited amounts of late and early season crops.  The late and early season coffee crops are usually available till next coffee season.  During the next twelve months, we plan to purchase and sell coffee to our potential customers in the United States.  Each container load will contain approximately three hundred (300) sixty-kilogram (60 kg) bags of green bean coffee or approximately 18,000 metric tonnes.  The sale price of the coffee will be mutually negotiated with the customers using the current New York “C” coffee contract market prices as the benchmark price.  We have budgeted approximately $240,000 out of the total gross proceeds of $500,000 to be applied towards the purchasing of coffee. Any revenue we earn will be reinvested back into the Company and used for working capital.

(b)

Lease office facilities in Reno, Nevada and hire at least one employee as support staff.  We plan to lease about 500 square feet office space in Reno, Nevada, for general corporate, sales and customer service purposes and hire one employee.  Our budget for office lease cost is in the range of $700 to $1,000 per month and general and administration costs, to be in the range of $2,000 to $3,000 per month.  We anticipate incurring these lease and general and administration expenses on a monthly basis.  We have budgeted approximately $48,000 out of the total gross proceeds of $500,000 to be applied towards general and administration expenses and for our corporate head office costs in Reno, Nevada.  

(c)

Commence to market and sell coffee.  We will commence delivering coffee samples to interested potential customers.  Supplying of coffee samples and visiting of potential customers will continue throughout the next 12 months.  The costs are expected to be in the range of $2,000 to $3,000 per month.  We anticipate incurring these marketing expenses on a monthly basis.  We have budgeted approximately $48,000 out of the total gross proceeds of $500,000 to be applied towards the marketing expenses

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

In June 2009, the FASB established the Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification” or “ASC”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants. Existing GAAP was not intended to be changed as a result of the Codification, and accordingly the change did not impact our financial statements. The ASC does change the way the guidance is organized and presented.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 165 (ASC Topic 855), “Subsequent Events”, SFAS No. 166 (ASC Topic 810), “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets-an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”, SFAS No. 167 (ASC Topic 810), “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),” and SFAS No. 168 (ASC Topic 105), “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles- a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” were recently issued. SFAS No. 165, 166, 167, and 168 have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU No. 2009-05 (ASC Topic 820), which amends Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall, ASU No. 2009-13 (ASC Topic 605), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, ASU No. 2009-14 (ASC Topic 985), Certain Revenue Arrangements that include Software



9






Elements, and various other ASU’s No. 2009-2 through ASU No. 2011-07 which contain technical corrections to existing guidance or affect guidance to specialized industries or entities were recently issued. These updates have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.

Critical Accounting Policies & Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make a variety of estimates and assumptions that affect (1) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and (2) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods covered by the financial statements.

Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions affecting the future resolution of the uncertainties increase, these judgments become even more subjective and complex.  Although we believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.  Changes in estimates and assumptions based upon actual results may have a material impact on our results of operation and/or financial condition.  We have identified certain accounting policies that we believe are most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations.  Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 4 to the Financial Statements included in this Annual Report.

Seasonality and Other Factors That May Affect Our Future Results

a)

We are aware there are other companies conducting similar activities, and the demand for coffee is affected by consumer taste and preferences. As a development stage company with little operating capital in a rapidly evolving and highly competitive coffee industry we will encounter financial difficulties. The coffee market is highly fragmented and coffee brands are being established across multiple distribution markets. Several competitors are aggressive in obtaining distribution to roaster retailers, commercial roasters, gourmet roasters and retailers and coffee brokers. We will only begin to penetrate those markets which give other competitors advantages over us based on their earlier entry into these distribution markets.  Competition in the coffee market is intense as relatively low barriers to entry encourage new competitors to enter the coffee market. The new market entrants may have substantially greater financial, marketing and operating resources than us, which may adversely affect our ability to implement our business plan.


b)

A significant portion of our anticipated revenue will be realized during China’s coffee harvest season, which is from October to March.  Any coffee tree and/or coffee bean diseases and/or severe adverse weather conditions such as a prolonged period of drought and rain, would have an adverse effect upon the production and supply of quality coffee at a reasonable price, which, in turn would directly impact our ability to market and sell coffee in the United States. Decreased availability of quality coffee would have an adverse effect on our purchasing costs, revenue and profitability and would jeopardize our ability to grow our business.    


c)

We plan to purchase coffee from China.  Therefore, any economic, political and social unrest and/or instability in coffee growing regions of China may adversely impact our business operations.  It could result in a decrease in the availability of quality coffee needed for our continued operation and growth of our business.  It could also lead to an increase in our purchasing costs and increased operating costs.    


d)

Coffee trades on the commodities market.  The supply and price of coffee is affected by multiple factors in the various producing countries, including: weather, political, and economic conditions.  We plan to sell our coffee on a negotiated basis based upon the supply and demand at the time of purchase/sale.  The benchmark (beginning) price will be directly tied to the then current prevailing price of New York “C” futures coffee contracts trading on the New York Coffee, Sugar & Cocoa Exchange.  If the cost of coffee increases, we may not be able to pass along those costs to our customers because of the competitive nature of the coffee industry.  If we are unable to pass along increased coffee costs, our margins will decrease and profitability will suffer accordingly.   



10







e)

Our business strategy is centered on a single product; coffee produced in China.  If the demand for coffee decreases, our business could suffer.  If we fail to continue developing and maintaining the quality of the coffee we sell or allow the quality to diminish, our operations, revenue and profitability could be adversely affected.  


f)

Our ability to continue with our business plan is subject to our ability to continue generating additional revenue. Our ability to continue as a going concern is an issue raised by our auditors in their audit report as a result of our limited revenue and accumulated losses of $135,331 as of April 31, 2011. There are no assurances that we may be successful in generating any additional revenue. To fund the ongoing operations, we may be forced to find alternate sources of financing, which at this time cannot be assured. If we are unsuccessful in securing such financing on acceptable terms, our potential as a going concern could be affected and our ability to continue with our business would be harmed. In such event, we may curtail or cease our operations.


g)

We may need additional capital. We require substantial working capital to fund our business.  If we do not generate enough cash from operations to finance our business in the future, we will need to raise additional funds through public or private financing. Selling additional stock could dilute the equity interests of our stockholders.  If we borrow money, we will have to pay interest and may also have to agree to restrictions on our operating flexibility.  The borrowing of additional monies may put a strain on the Company’s cash flow and ability to develop and or expand its products and business.  There are no guarantees that we will be able to obtain additional financing or that if such financing is available that it will be on terms satisfactory to the Company.  See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Operations".


h)

Our Chief Executive lacks coffee sales experience and may have difficulty selling the Chinese grown coffee to potential customers in the United States. Our ability to implement the sales and marketing strategies are partially dependent on our Chief Executive’s ability to increase awareness and recognition of Chinese grown coffee in the United States. We may fail to implement our sales and marketing strategies or we may use our resources on sales and marketing strategies that ultimately prove to be unsuccessful.  Consequently, our revenue and operating results may be adversely affected.

Our management is engaged in other activities, including being a Chief Executive Officer of DTS8 Coffee (Shanghai) Co. Ltd., a coffee roaster and wholesaler based in Shanghai, China, that could divert his time away from our business operations and could conflict with our business interests, harming our ability to market and sell coffee.  If our officer and director is unable to devote sufficient time to our business operations, our ability to operate at a profit could be harmed. Our officer and director may have difficulty in allocating time, services and functions between the other business ventures in which he may be or become involved.  Specifically, Sean Tan has been our President, Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer and our sole director since our inception.  Sean Tan is a self-employed businessman and does not dedicate his entire business hours to our operations.  However, the potential for conflicts of interest will still exist between the Company and Sean Tan for future business opportunities. As such, our business may be impaired and we may have to curtail and cease our operation and the investors may lose their entire investment.


j)

Sean Tan is the Chief Executive Officer of DTS8 Coffee (Shanghai) Co. Ltd., which roasts and sells roasted

coffee.  While DTS8 Coffee (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. is not in the business of selling raw green coffee beans, as is the business of the Company, there may be potential for conflicts or competition for the purchase of raw green coffee beans.  If a conflict of interest or competition for the purchase of the raw green coffee beans arises and is not resolved in favor of the Company, the Company may lose potential business. Failure to establish alternative suppliers for sources of raw green coffee beans could result in a failure to implement the Company’s business plan.

Factors That May Affect Owning Berkeley Coffee & Tea, Inc. Common Stock


a)

As of the date of this report, our sole officer and director owns approximately 71% of our outstanding shares of common stock, this allows him to control matters requiring approval of our shareholders. Such concentrated control of the Company may adversely affect the price of our common stock, because it may be more difficult for the Company to attract investors.  Investors will know that matters requiring stockholders’ consent will likely be decided by our officer and director.  Our officer and director can control matters requiring approval by our stockholders’, including the election of directors.  Moreover, if our officer and director elects to sell a substantial number of his shares, investors will likely lose confidence in our ability to earn revenue and will see such a sale as a sign that our business is failing.  Each of these factors, independently or collectively, will likely harm the market price of our stock.


b)

There is no public trading market and an active public market may not develop for our common stock.  Consequently, there is no central place, such as a stock exchange or electronic trading system, to resell your shares.  You may not be able to find purchasers for your shares of our common stock.  If you cannot resell your shares then you may not be able to recoup your investment.


c)

There is no public market for our common stock. There can be no assurance that a regular trading market for our common stock will ever develop or that, if developed, it will be sustained.  Therefore, purchasers of our common stock should have long-term investment intent and should recognize that it may be difficult to sell the shares, notwithstanding the fact that they are not restricted securities.  There has not been a market for our common stock.  We cannot predict the extent to which a trading market will develop or how liquid a market might become.


d)

The Penny Stock Reform Act (Securities Exchange Act Sect. 3(a)(51A)) defines a penny stock as an equity security that is not registered on a national stock exchange or authorized for quotation on NASDAQ, and that sells for under $5.00 per share.  The Company will be considered a penny stock under said Act.  A purchase of a penny stock is an extremely high risk stock purchase that could result in the entire loss of an individual’s investment.  Since the Company stock will be considered a penny stock, a broker-dealer is required to provide a risk disclosure statement detailing the inherent risks in investing in a penny stock to a customer prior to recommending the sale of its stock.  This could severely limit the ability to create a market for shares of the Company’s stock and make it difficult for an investor to liquidate his or her shares.


e)

There is no guarantee that a Broker/Dealer will file a 15c2-11 on behalf of the Company.  There is no assurance that our common stock will be cleared to trade on the over-the-counter Bulletin Board. We plan on having a market maker file a Form 15c2-11 with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) to have our common stock quoted on the OTC-Bulletin Board. To date, this has not been done and the FINRA has not cleared our common stock to be quoted on the OTC-Bulletin Board and there is no assurance that our common stock will ever be quoted on the OTC-Bulletin Board. Broker-dealers who sell penny stock to certain types of investors are required to comply with the Security and Exchange Commission’s regulations concerning the transfer of penny stock.  If an exemption is not available, these regulations require broker-dealers to: make a suitability determination prior to selling penny stock to the purchaser; receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction; and, provide certain written disclosures to the purchaser.  These rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to make a market in, or trade the Company shares.  In turn, this may make it very difficult for investors to resell those shares in the public market.

BERKELEY COFFEE & TEA, INC.

(A Development Stage Company)

NOTES TO AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

April 30, 2011

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS


Berkeley Coffee & Tea, Inc. (hereinafter "Company" “We” “Our” or "Berkeley Coffee”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 27, 2009.  The Company is in the development stage and plans to market and sell coffee produced in China into the United States.


The Company is a development stage company as defined in ASC 915 “Development Stage Enterprises”, as it is devoting substantially all of its efforts to establish a new business and planned principal operations have not commenced. The Company filed a S-1 Registration statement with Securities and Exchange Commission which was declared effective January 28, 2011.  On March 31, 2011, the Company completed the equity financing of $500,000 by selling 2,500,000 shares of common stock at $0.20 each.   


NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The foregoing audited annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-K and Article 8 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the audited financial statements furnished herein includes all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented.


The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Company's financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions and could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Company's financial position and results of operations.


Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. This reclassification has resulted in no changes to the Company’s accumulated deficit or net losses presented.


NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred material losses from operations. At April 30, 2011, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $135,331, in addition to limited cash, zero revenue and unprofitable operations. For the periods ended April 30, 2011 and April 30, 2010, the Company sustained net losses of $127,220 and $6,011. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to obtain additional financing and to generate revenue and cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis. Management raised equity financing of $500,000 by selling 2,500,000 shares of common stock at $0.20 each.  Success of the $500,000 financing has mitigated these factors, however, any failure to generate revenue will raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.


NOTE 4 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the financial statements. The



19






financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.


Accounting Methods


The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


Advertising and Promotion Costs


Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


Cash equivalents comprise certain highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. As at April 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash only.


Comprehensive Income


The Company has adopted ASC 220, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which requires inclusion of foreign currency translation adjustments, reported separately in its statement of stockholders' equity, in other comprehensive income. The Company had no other comprehensive income for the period ended April 30, 2011.   


Concentration of Credit Risk


The Company maintains the majority of its cash in commercial accounts at a major financial institution. Although the financial institution is considered creditworthy and has not experienced any losses on its deposits, at April 30, 2011, the Company's cash balance did exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) limits.


Derivative Instruments


The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASC 815, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (hereinafter "ASC 815"), The statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. They require that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change. The Company has not entered into derivative contracts to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes.


Earnings (Loss) Per Share


The Company adopted ASC 260, which provides for calculation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings (losses) per share. Basic earnings (losses) per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity similar to diluted earnings per share.


Foreign Currency Translation


The financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The Company maintains United States dollars as the functional currency. Foreign monetary assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet dates. Non-monetary items are translated at historical rates. Revenue and



20






expense items are translated using the rate in effect on the date of the transactions.  


Inventory


Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The cost for inventories is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Inventories principally consist of coffee beans. The Company had $54,000 of green bean coffee in inventory on April 30, 2011.   


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot always be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values.


The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, subscription receivable, accounts payable and share offering subscription. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.


Organization and Start-up Cost


All costs and expenses for the start-up activities, including organization costs, are expensed as incurred.


Offering Expenses


Offering expenses represent costs associated with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement under S-1 offering to sell 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.20 per share for gross proceeds of $500,000. Such costs primarily consist of professional fees and consulting services. The offering expenses are paid from cash on hand and charged to expenses as incurred.  


Property and Equipment


Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation for property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of five to seven years. Leasehold improvements are generally amortized over the shorter of seven years or the term of the related leases. Major remodels and improvements are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred.


Provision for Income Taxes


Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to ASC 740, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the "more likely than not" standard imposed by ASC 740 to allow recognition of such an asset.


Revenue Recognition


The Company derives its revenue from sale of coffee beans.  Our revenue is recognized in the period when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery occurs, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.  Coffee is considered delivered when title and risk have been transferred to the customer.

Stock Issued for Services


Transactions in which common stock is issued for services are recorded at the fair value of the services received or the fair value of the stock issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.


Share offering Subscription


Share offering proceeds received by the Company from subscribers pursuant to the prospectus offering of 2,500,000 shares of the common stock at $0.20 per share are recorded as a current liability till the offering is closed and subscribed shares issued to the investors.  The Company completed and closed the offering on March 31, 2011 after it received gross proceeds of $500,000. The balance of $4,000 represents over subscription to be returned to the subscriber.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America 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 revenue and expenses and the accompanying notes during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In June 2009, the FASB established the Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification” or “ASC”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants. Existing GAAP was not intended to be changed as a result of the Codification, and accordingly the change did not impact our financial statements. The ASC does change the way the guidance is organized and presented.


Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 165 (ASC Topic 855), “Subsequent Events”, SFAS No. 166 (ASC Topic 810), “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets-an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”, SFAS No. 167 (ASC Topic 810), “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R),” and SFAS No. 168 (ASC Topic 105), “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles- a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” were recently issued. SFAS No. 165, 166, 167, and 168 have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.


Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU No. 2009-05 (ASC Topic 820), which amends Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall, ASU No. 2009-13 (ASC Topic 605), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, ASU No. 2009-14 (ASC Topic 985), Certain Revenue Arrangements that include Software Elements, and various other ASU’s No. 2009-2 through ASU No. 2011-07 which contain technical corrections to existing guidance or affect guidance to specialized industries or entities were recently issued. These updates have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant

The Company has reviewed all the recent accounting pronouncements up through No. 2011-07 and these updates have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements and the Company’s current accounting and reporting.

NOTE 8 - CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS       


On March 31, 2011, the Company entered into a management agreement with Sean Tan, the Company’s sole officer and director to serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Tan’s engagement commenced on March 1, 2011, and shall continue on a year-to-year basis until terminated by either party upon sixty days prior written notice to the other party.  The Company shall make monthly management fee payments of six thousand dollars ($6,000) to Mr. Tan, in arrears, on the last day of each month.   


NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES


At April 30, 2011, the Company had deferred tax assets principally arising from net operating loss carrforwards for income tax purposes. The Company calculates its deferred tax assets using the Federal tax rate of 34%. Due to operating losses, the uncertainty of future profits and limitations on the utilization of net operating loss carry-forwards under IRC Section 382, a valuation allowance has been recorded to fully offset the Company’s deferred tax assets. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable losses and projections for future taxable losses over the periods which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences, and thus has recorded a valuation allowance against the entire deferred tax asset balance.


At April 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $ 135,220 and $8,111 for federal income tax purposes, respectively. The net operating loss carryforwards are available to be utilized against future taxable income for years through fiscal 2029, subject to the Tax Reform Act of 1986 which imposed substantial restrictions on the utilization of net operating losses and tax credits in the event of an "ownership change" as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. Federal net operating losses are subject to limitations as a result of these restrictions. Under such circumstances, the Company's ability to utilize its net operating losses against future income may be reduced.





23






In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (hereinafter “FIN 48”), which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 has no material impact on the Company’s financial reporting.


 NOTE 10 – CONCENTRATION RISK


The Company plans to purchase green bean coffee from China. Consequently, any political, economic and social unrest and/or instability in the coffee growing areas of China may adversely affect the Company’s business operations. In particular, instability in the coffee growing regions of China could result in a decrease in the availability of coffee beans needed for the continued operation and growth of the Company’s business. It could also lead to an increase in the purchasing costs and increased operating costs. This may adversely affect the Company’s business.  

 

NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS



On May 15, 2011, the Company sold $54,000, in stock, Indonesian coffees (Mandheling and Java), purchased in April 2011, to DTS8 Coffee (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. for $64,800. Sean Tan is also the Chief Executive Officer of DTS8 Coffee (Shanghai) Co. Ltd., a Shanghai, China based coffee roaster and wholesaler. The Company and DTS8 Coffee (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. in the normal course of operations entered into the transaction which is considered to be a related party transaction. The coffee sale was in the normal course of operations of the Company, and was measured at the exchange amount, which is the fair market value amount of consideration established and agreed to by both parties.


The Company has evaluated the subsequent events from the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were issued, and determined that no other significant events have occurred.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Evaluation of Our Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls


Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, or persons acting as such, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this annual report (the “Evaluation Date”).  Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to us required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  The internal control process has been designed, under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  


Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2011, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring.  Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2011, was effective.


Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.  In evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework.   


This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.  


Officers’ Certifications


Appearing as exhibits to this Annual Report are “Certifications” of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.  The Certifications are required pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Section 302 Certifications”).  This section of the Annual Report contains information concerning the Controls Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certification.  This information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

Code of Ethics

Effective March 30, 2010, the Company's board of directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to, among other persons, our company's President (being our principal executive officer) and our Company's Chief Financial Officer (being our principal financial and accounting officer and controller), as well as persons performing similar functions.  As adopted, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

·

honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

·

full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by us;

·

compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

·

the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; and

·

accountability for adherence to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires, among other things, that all of our company's personnel shall be accorded full access to our President and Chief Financial Officer with respect to any matter which may arise relating to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.  Further, all of our Company's personnel are to be accorded full access to our company's board of directors if any such matter involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by our President or Chief Financial Officer.

In addition, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics emphasizes that all employees, and particularly managers and/or supervisors, have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within our company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, and federal, provincial and state securities laws.  Any employee who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or other irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to his or her immediate supervisor or to our company's President or Chief Financial Officer.  If the incident involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by the President or Chief Financial Officer, the incident must be reported to any member of our board of directors.  Any failure to report such inappropriate or irregular conduct of others is to be treated as a severe disciplinary matter.  It is against our company policy to retaliate against any individual who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of our company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by another.

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an Exhibit to the Company’s S-1 registration statement.  We will provide a copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to any person without charge, upon request directed to: Berkeley Coffee & Tea, Inc., Suite 214, 1662 Highway 395 N, Minden, Nevada 89423.  Our telephone number is 011-86-15021337898, and electronic mail address is sean@dts8coffee.com


Employment Agreements


On March 31, 2011, the Company entered into a management agreement with Sean Tan, the Company’s sole officer and director to serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Tan will perform such duties customarily performed by the Chief Executive Officer and President and such other duties as reasonably requested by the Chairman or the Board of Directors of the Company.

Audit Committee


We do not have a standing audit committee, an audit committee financial expert, or any committee or person performing a similar function.  We currently have limited working capital and no revenues.  Management does not believe that it would be in our best interests at this time to retain independent directors to sit on an audit committee.


Board of Directors


We do not have an independent director. Our Directors are reimbursed, however, for expenses, if any, for attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors.  Our Board of Directors may designate from among its members an executive committee and one or more other committees but has not done so to date.  We do not have a nominating committee or a nominating committee charter.  Further, we do not have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders.  To date this has not been a problem as no security holders have made any such recommendations.  Our director performs all functions that would otherwise be performed by committees.  Given the present size of our board it is not practical for us to have committees.  If we are able to grow our business and increase our operations we intend to expand the size of our board and allocate responsibilities accordingly.


Corporate Governance

No material changes were made to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to the Company’s board of directors.  

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act


To the best of our knowledge based on the available information as of April 30, 2011 all our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities filed all Section 16(a) reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission in a timely manner and provided the Company with copies of initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of our common stock and other equity securities on Forms 3, 4, 5 and amendments thereto respectively in accordance with the requirements of the Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Under our bylaws, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a lawsuit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest.  We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding.  To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney’s fees.  With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order.  The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.


Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Nevada law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

(2) Audit-related fees consist of fees billed for professional services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements, but are not reported under “Audit fees.”


(3) Tax fees consist of fees billed for professional services relating to tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice.


(4) All other fees consist of fees billed for all other services.


Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval Practice.  


We do not have an audit committee.  Our board of directors performs the function of an audit committee.  Section 10A(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, prohibits our auditors from performing audit services for us as well as any services not considered to be audit services unless such services are pre-approved by our audit committee or, in cases where no such committee exists, by our board of directors (in lieu of an audit committee) or unless the services meet certain de minimis standards.
