Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 2011



NOTE 1.

ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF DISCONTINUED BUSINESS OPERATIONS

(See NOTE 7 below for a description of the new business operations)


Dinello Restaurant Ventures, Inc., now known as AF Ocean Investment Management Company, (the “Company”), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on April 2, 2003.  On that same date the Company filed a Fictitious Name application to do business as “Za Za’s Pizza & Grinders.”  Shortly thereafter, the Company decided on a new “dba” name and filed a Fictitious Name application to do business as “Gumby’s Pizza & Grinders.”  The Company operated as Gumby’s Pizza & Grinders until April 13, 2010 when it filed a new Fictitious Name application to do business as “Caramello’s Pizzeria.”  On July 28, 2010 the sole shareholder of the Company sold 100% of the outstanding stock to the current shareholders.  The Company operated one location in St. Petersburg, Florida.


The Company was a pizzeria which strived to provide its customers high quality cuisine and exceptional service in an enjoyable dining environment.  The Company strived to maintain quality and consistency in its restaurant through the careful training and supervision of personnel and the establishment of standards relating to food and beverage preparation, maintenance of facilities and conduct of personnel.



NOTE 2.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates.  

In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the result of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010; (b) the financial position at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and (c) cash flows for the nine months September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 have been made.


The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. These principles require 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. Management believes that these estimates are reasonable and have been discussed with the Board of Directors; however, actual results could differ from those estimates.


Cash and Cash Equivalents.  The majority of cash is maintained with a major financial institution in the United States.  Deposits with this bank may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.  Generally, these deposits may be redeemed on demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk.  The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.


Inventory.  Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first in – first out) or market.  Market is generally considered to be the net realizable value.  The inventory at each year end consisted of food stuffs and supplies with a limited life.  


Property and Equipment.  Property and equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives.   The carrying amount of all long-lived assets is evaluated periodically to determine if adjustment to the depreciation and amortization period or the unamortized balance is warranted. Based upon its most recent analysis, the Company believes that no impairment of property and equipment exists at September 30, 2011.


Impairment of Long-lived Assets.  Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  When required impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset.  The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required.  If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset.  When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets.  We did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.

 (Continued)


Revenue Recognition

Sales revenues are recognized at the point of sale or at the time product is delivered to the customer. Delivery charges are included in the sales revenues.  Additionally, revenues are presented net of discounts and exclude all sales taxes. Typically the Company does not offer credit to its customers.  Management has determined that no allowance for expected merchandise returns is required.


Share-based Compensation.  The Company issues stock options whereby all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). The Company had no common stock options or common stock equivalents granted or outstanding for all periods presented.


The Company may issue restricted stock for various business and administrative services.  Cost for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  The value of the common stock is measured at the earlier of (i) the date at which a firm commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or (ii) the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete.   There was no share-based compensation paid in 2009 or 2010, or in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.


Advertising.  The costs of advertising are expensed as incurred.  Advertising expense was $11,103 and $25,619 for the nine months ending September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.


Income Taxes.  For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company elected to be taxes under Sub-chapter S of the Internal Revenue Code.  As such, the Company’s income or loss was reported on the shareholders’ personal returns.  Therefore no provision for income taxes was presented.  


On January 1, 2011, the Company revoked its S-Corporation election and thereafter will be taxed at the corporate level.  Beginning in 2011, the Company will account for income taxes using the liability method where deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purpose, referred to as temporary differences. Deferred tax assets and liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the currently enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be settled or realized.


Earnings per Share.  Basic earnings (loss) per share calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares plus the effect of the dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. There are no share equivalents for any periods presented and, thus, anti-dilution issues are not applicable


Recent Accounting Pronouncements.  The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. No new standards had any material effect on these financial statements. The accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to the date of these financial statements that were considered significant by management were evaluated for the potential effect on these consolidated financial statements. Management does not believe any of the subsequent pronouncements will have a material effect on these consolidated financial statements as presented and does not anticipate the need for any future restatement of these consolidated financial statements because of the retro-active application of any accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to December 31, 2010 through the date these financial statements were issued.


Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through November 11, 2011 to assess the need for potential recognition or disclosure in this report.  Based upon this evaluation, management determined that all subsequent events that require recognition in the financial statements have been included.

During 2009, the sole stockholder took distributions of the S-Corporation earnings of $7,700.  On July 28, 2010, the sole stockholder sold 100% of his holdings to new stockholders.  No distributions of earnings were made in 2010.


During the last half of 2010, the major shareholder loaned the Company $26,308 in short-term non-interest bearing loans.   On December 31, 2010, she elected to convert the shareholder loans to 263,078 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share.



NOTE 5.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY


During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company had 100 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.  In July of 2010, the sole stockholder sold 100% of his shares to new owners.  The new Board of Directors with the consent of the new stockholders amended the articles of incorporation to reduce the par value from $1.00 to $0.01and to increase the authorized shares from 100 shares of common stock to 500,000,000 of common stock.  In addition the original 100 shares were split into 2,975,000 shares.  


There were no preferred shares authorized in either year.  


On December 31, 2010, a loan, from a shareholder in the amount of $26,308, was converted to 263,078 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share.


The Company has no options or warrants issued or outstanding.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


From time to time the Company may be a party to litigation matters involving claims against the Company.  Management believes that there are no current matters that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.


The Company operates in a leased facility in St. Petersburg Florida.  The lease was started in March 1, 2003 with an initial term of three (3) years and is in the second of five possible three year extensions.  The current extension will end on February 28, 2012.  The monthly lease amount in this extension is $1,985 plus sales tax.  


Total rent expense (including sales tax) for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $25,481 and $25,297, respectively.


The Company’s commitments for minimum lease payments under these operating leases for the next five years and thereafter as of December 31, 2010 are as follows:

NOTE 7.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND CHANGE IN DIRECTION


On September 19, 2011, the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Andy Z. Fan as Director and Chairman of the Board.  On September 21, 2011, Chairman Andy Fan held a special meeting of the Board of Directors to discuss a change is business strategy and business model for the Company due to the current economic conditions.  The lack of improvement in the service industry, specifically the restaurant industry, has not provided the necessary climate for building the current business model.


The Board  believed that to continue to protect and increase shareholder value, it would be to the advantage, welfare and best interests of the shareholders for the Company to consider alternative corporate strategies to generate new business revenue for the Company.  The Board of Directors and the Shareholders approved moving in a new direction and changing the name of the Company to reflect the new direction and mission.  The approved new strategic direction of the Company will be promoting business relations and exchanges between Chinese and U.S. companies, and facilitating international mergers and acquisitions, increasing co-operation between Chinese companies and Wall Street financial institutions.  We will seek to help Wall Street investors identify and work with respectable and reputable Chinese counterparts and companies and assist Chinese corporations to understand that the only way to benefit from the world’s biggest capital market is through strict and consistent adherence to the rules and regulations that govern companies listed on American stock exchanges.  The new name approved by the Board and the Shareholders will be “AF Ocean Investment Management Company.”


To facilitate this new direction, the Board agreed to the sale of some of the Company’s older assets. The disposal of the restaurant assets to Caramello’s Pizzeria, LLC, a Florida Limited Liability Company, was approved by Shareholders representing 87% of the shares issued and outstanding.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND RESULTS OF OPERATION


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto.


Forward-Looking Statements


This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements relating to us that are based on the beliefs of our management as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. When used in this Report, the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management’s current view of us concerning future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including among many others: our potential inability to raise additional capital, the possibility that third parties hold proprietary rights that preclude us from marketing our products, the emergence of additional competing technologies, changes in domestic and foreign laws, regulations and taxes, changes in economic conditions, a general economic downturn, a downturn in the securities markets, Securities and Exchange Commission regulations which affect trading in the securities of “penny stocks,” and other risks and uncertainties. Should any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in this Report as anticipated, estimated or expected.


Use of Certain Defined Terms


Except as otherwise indicated by the context, references in this report to “Dinello” “we,” “us,” or “our” and the “Company” are references to the business of AF Ocean Investment Management Company   


Use of GAAP Financial Measures


We use GAAP financial measures in the section of this quarterly report captioned “Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Results of Operation.” All of the GAAP financial measures used by us in this report relate to the inclusion of financial information.


Overview


This subsection of MD&A is an overview of the important factors that management focuses on in evaluating our businesses, financial condition and operating performance, our overall business strategy and our earnings for the periods covered.


General

The following management's discussion, analysis of financial condition, and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This section of our prospectus includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this prospectus. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.  

We are an operating company that is seeking to expand operations when we believe the current economic downturn has stopped. We have an operating history and have generated revenues in every period in which we have been operational. We have yet to undertake any expansion activity. We believe the economy is in the latter stages of an economic downturn and there is a reasonable likelihood that increased revenues can be derived from our business in the foreseeable future when our economy begins to improve.  Even if we are able to increase revenues there is no guarantee that we will be able to generate any profits.  We do not believe that our operations will require us to acquire additional capital over the next twelve (12) months. 

Our Board of Directors believes that we cannot expand as an on-going business during the next twelve months since we are in an economic downturn.  Management believes that it must follow a prudent strategy of keeping any profits in the company to avoid having to take on any debt.  Both of our officers/directors have therefore decided to continue to forego any cash compensation until the economy has begun to change and our revenues increase accordingly.

Our future financial success will be dependent on our ability to generate more revenue through an aggressive marketing campaign targeting homeowners in our specific target market area. Any significant revenue increases may take years to complete and future cash flows, if any, are impossible to predict at this time.  Since we are in a highly competitive industry where the failure rate for small individual restaurants is at an all time high, management has developed a business model that concentrates on cost control with slow

business development. With the advent of smart telephones and the use of food apps we are trying to develop specific marketing tools to target smart phone users with food apps.

In May of 2011 we had a market maker file a Form 211 Application with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) for an unpriced quote on the OTCBB and the OTC Markets QB.  Our market maker received a letter from FINRA on June 14, 2011 that our request for an unpriced quote had been cleared by FINRA.  We were assigned the symbol “DNLO” and as of July 15, 2011 we were quoted on the OTCBB and the OTC Markets QB for trading.  As of the date of the filing of this quarterly report there has been limited activity in the trading of our common stock, with only 600 shares traded: 100 shares traded at $0.15 and 500 shares traded at $0.51 per share.

We submitted the name change to FINRA and are awaiting a new symbol to be assigned.

Employees


As of September 30, 2011, there were two (2) full time and (7) part-time employees at Dinello Restaurant Ventures, Inc. now known as AF Ocean Investment Management Company.  This does not include the officers and directors who run the corporation.


Critical Accounting Policies


The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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.  Our actual results could differ from those estimates.  To be as accurate with our estimates as possible, we use our historical data to forecast our future results.  Deviations from our projections are addressed when our financials are reviewed on a monthly basis.  This allows us to be proactive in our approach to managing our business.  It also allows us to rely on proven data rather than having to make assumptions regarding our estimates.


Management does not believe that our actual results are related to any sensitivity in estimates made by management.  The year-end consistency of our results has shown that our prior year’s historical data is the best projector of our future results.


Income Taxes


The Company utilizes a liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes.  The difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities is determined annually.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for those differences that have future tax consequences using the currently enacted tax laws and rates that apply to the periods in which they are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax asset accounts to the amounts that will more likely than not be realized.  No valuation allowance was deemed necessary by management as of September 30, 2011.  Income tax expense is the current tax payable or refundable for the period, plus or minus the net change in the deferred tax asset and liability accounts.  


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  We assess the potential impairment of long-lived assets, principally property and equipment, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We determine if there is impairment by comparing undiscounted future cash flows from the related long-lived assets with their respective carrying values. In determining future cash flows, significant estimates are made by us with respect to future operating results of the restaurant over its remaining lease term. If assets are determined to be impaired, the impairment charge is measured by calculating the amount by which the asset carrying amount exceeds its fair value. This process of assessing fair values requires the use of estimates and assumptions, which are subject to a high degree of judgment. If these assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges for these assets. The adoption of ASC 360 has not materially affected the Company’s reported earnings, financial condition or cash flows.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


As of September 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $25,564.  

Since inception the company has concentrated its efforts in developing a specific menu geared for pizza, pasta and grinder sandwiches for sale to the general public.  Management believed it could capitalize on the number of consumers who preferred quality to the big box store offering of what we believe are average products sold that are similar to our offerings.

Our internal liquidity is provided by our operations. Our total current assets exceed our current liabilities due to the fact that the current shareholders purchased the business without any financing and the current revenue is sufficient to pay all of the bills of the company without any borrowing or terms exceeding weekly payment for any products or services.  Management believes that in the fiscal year 2011 the Company will not show a revenue increase however we may show a profit although there is no guarantee that we will show a profit.  Management forecasts our profits to be minimal.  Management does believe that revenues are stable and operations should be sustainable in the long-term of at least twelve (12) months due to the stable cash flow from sales of our product offering.  In the event the company needs additional funds, our management believes that a small business loan should be obtainable on reasonable terms due to the Company having no debt and owning all of the assets of the corporation free and clear of any encumbrances.   There is no guarantee that such a small business loan will be obtained or if there will be terms that will be suitable for the company.

In the event we are unable to generate sufficient funds to continue our business efforts, we will seek additional capital through a private placement of our common shares or debt financing.  If we are pursued by a larger company for a business combination we will analyze all strategies to continue the company and maintain or increase shareholder value.  Under these circumstances we would consider a merger, acquisition, joint venture, strategic alliance, a roll-up, or other business combination for the purposes of continuing the business and maintaining or increasing shareholder value.  Management believes its responsibility to maintain shareholder value is of paramount importance, which means the Company should consider the aforementioned alternatives in the event funding is not available on favorable terms to the Company when needed.

Early in the second quarter we were approached by a pizza store chain to open discussions on selling our store.  Due to our prime location this company valued our store and its operations.  Management declined to hold any talks about the sale of our business to this organization.

We have been offered a limited credit line by one of our food suppliers.  We declined the use of this credit facility because it was too limited and would potentially affect our ability to receive greater and better credit facility in the future.  This company supplies approximately 90% of the food we use in the store for our sandwiches, pasta and pizzas.  They have offered terms of two weeks with no interest on the outstanding balances due.  We will not exercise this option since the store is self-sufficient.  In the event cash flow was to tighten, management would consider this credit facility as well as seek better credit facility to ease our cash flow.

Revenues. We had $319,873 in revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, which is a decrease compared to the $342,822 revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  We attribute this decrease to the overall downturn in consumer spending and the increase in food prices.


Operating Expenses. Expenses decreased by $26,564 to $302,820 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $329,384 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  The largest contributors to the decrease in expenses was the reduced advertising and payroll expenses.  We are utilizing new electronic advertising options such as LivingSocial and Groupon coupons.  This form of advertising requires no upfront expenses like print media requires, and fits in to the latest trends and demographics.   We also cut back on staff during this slower season.


Management has also been proactive in addressing two major variable costs: electricity and natural gas.  We had an energy audit performed to determine how we could impact saving on our electric bill.  Modifications were made to the premises in early May and we have been able to reduce by at least $300 per month our electric bill.  To address the high cost of gas we switched our natural gas supplier so we could buy our natural gas at market prices.  Since the changeover on May 1, 2011 we have seen a drop of approximately 33% in our natural gas bill.


Income from Operations. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, our operating income (loss) was $17,053 and $13,438.  As we mentioned above, the reduced consumer spending and the increase in food prices resulted in a decrease in the income from operations.


Net Income. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, our Net Income (Loss) was $17,200 and $8,416  respectively.


Inflation  


Inflation does not materially affect our business or the results of our operations.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


The Financial Accounting Standards Board and other entities issued new or modifications to, or interpretations of, existing accounting guidance during this quarter. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that altered generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the Company’s reported financial position or operations in the near term.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


We do not have any off-balance arrangements.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


The Company does not have exposure to many market risks, such as potential loss arising from adverse change in market rates and prices, such as foreign currency exchange and interest rates.  We do not hold any derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.



ITEM 4T.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

The management of the Corporation is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control system is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to management and to the board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.


Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; provide reasonable assurances that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Corporation; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Corporation’s assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.


All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.


Management assessed the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2011. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment management believes that, as of September 30, 2011, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.


Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.

 

We had no significant changes in our internal controls during the period ended September 30, 2011.  Management concluded that there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the period ended September 30, 2011, that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to affect our internal control over financial reporting.
