NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2012

 

NOTE 1. OVERVIEW

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Ecologic Transportation, Inc. (formerly USR Technology, Inc.) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Item 210 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included thereto for the year ended December 31, 2011, on Form 10K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods shown.

 

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 that effect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 30, 2005. The Company is a development stage company as defined by ASC 915-10, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”. A development stage enterprise is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, there has been no significant revenues there from.

 

On April 26, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger, as amended, with Ecologic Sciences, Inc. (formerly, Ecologic Transportation, Inc.), a private Nevada corporation, and Ecological Acquisition Corp., a private Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Ecological Acquisition Corp. was formed by the Company for the purpose of acquiring all of the outstanding shares of Ecologic Sciences, Inc. Pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger, as amended, Ecologic Sciences, Inc. (formerly, Ecologic Transportation, Inc.) was to be merged with and into Ecological Acquisition Corp., with Ecologic Sciences, Inc. continuing after the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

On July 2, 2009, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Ecological Acquisition Corp. was merged into Ecologic Sciences, Inc. with Ecologic Sciences, Inc. being the sole surviving entity under the name “Ecologic Sciences, Inc.” and the Company being the sole shareholder of the surviving entity. Pursuant to the merger, the Company plans to raise additional capital required to meet immediate short-term needs and to meet the balance of its estimated funding requirements for the twelve months, primarily through the private placement of its securities. Upon closing of the transactions contemplated by the agreement and plan of merger on July 2, 2009, the Company issued 17,559,486 shares of its common stock to the former shareholders of Ecologic Sciences, Inc. in consideration for the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of Ecologic Sciences, Inc. As of the closing date, the former shareholders of Ecologic Sciences, Inc. held approximately 75.85% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company.

 

We are a development stage company in the business of environmental transportation. We are structured with two operating units. Our primary operation is the car rental division which will focus on an environmental car rental operation.

 

Ecologic Systems, Inc.

 

Through our subsidiary, Ecologic Systems, Inc. (“EcoSys”), we intended to develop and manage the “greening” of gas stations along with retrofitting them with alternative energy options and solutions. To build this infrastructure, we intended to provide turnkey management, installation, and integration of equipment procurement, equipment installation, contracting, fuel, and regulatory tax incentive and grant subsidization proposals.

 

On May 13, 2011, EcoSys presented a proposed transaction to the Company’s Board of Directors in which EcoSys would spin out of the Company, and merge with a newly formed company, thereby facilitating EcoSys’ desire to pursue the alternative retail fuel network. The Board requested that further information be presented, with a focus on the financials of the proposed business transaction.

 

During the months of June through September, 2011, EcoSys prepared its due diligence package, including market forecasts and an extensive business plan, and continued to research strategic business opportunities and potential strategic partners.

 

The Company determined that, although the EcoSys business plan was strong and there was a positive probability for success, there remained too many uncertainties that were out of the realm of EcoSys’ control. The Board, therefore, decided to pursue selling the EcoSys business to a better-capitalized company that had longer return on investments horizons.

 

In October, 2011, EcoSys met with Amazonas Florestal, Inc. (“Amazonas”), a corporation headquartered in Florida, and a mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement was executed. After the two companies completed due diligence in January, 2012, it became apparent to the EcoSys management that there existed a viable opportunity to enhance shareholder value by combining EcoSys with Amazonas.

 

The Company’s Board of Directors continues to support the overall business thesis of EcoSys, but is faced with the reality that the lack of development in the alternative fuel retail market is not compatible with the Company’s cash flow requirements. The Company, as the parent of EcoSys, has been unable to raise sufficient working capital to fully exploit and grow the business of EcoSys due to a number of factors.

 

The Company’s Board of Directors has therefore made the strategic decision to focus the majority of its resources and time on the development of its environmental car rental business, and on March 16, 2012 entered into a Share Exchange Agreement and Plan of Merger with Amazonas and EcoSys. The following actions were taken pursuant to the unanimous written consent of the Board of Directors of the Company on March 15, 2012, in lieu of a special meeting of the stockholders.

 

EcoSys entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Amazonas wherein EcoSys acquired one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Amazonas in exchange for seventy million (70,000,000) authorized but un-issued shares of common stock of EcoSys. It is intended that the Share Exchange will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and that this Agreement shall be a plan of reorganization for purposes of Section 368(a) of the Code.

 

Subsequent to the Closing on March 16, 2012, Amazonas became a wholly owned subsidiary of EcoSys. The Company owns three percent (3%) of the EcoSys outstanding capital stock (the “EGCT shares”), and the former Amazonas shareholders (“Amazonas Shareholders”) own ninety-seven percent (97%) of the EcoSys outstanding capital stock. For a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Closing, the EGCT Shares will be subject to an anti-dilution provision. The anti-dilution provision will protect the three (3%) percent ownership of the issued and outstanding capital stock of EcoSys owned by the Company.

 

Ecologic Products, Inc.

 

Our car rental business and our products business intend to provide distribution channels for certain environmental products, and generate certain internal product requirements in order to allow us to be “green” throughout our operation. Initially, our business plan calls for the products to be focused on transportation and its ancillary markets.

 

In anticipation of our first rental car location and our need for environmentally friendly car cleaning (one of the most important aspects of a rental operation), we developed Ecologic Shine®, a device and system for near-waterless car cleaning that delivers cleaning comparable to normal washing without using any harmful chemicals.

 

The commercialization of the Ecologic Shine® products and services are:

 

  · Good for the environment

 

  · Good for the customer

 

  · Good for the vehicle

 

  · Good for the bottom line

 

We have launched Ecologic Shine® in collaboration with Park ‘N Fly, the airport parking chain with prominent locations in 15 airport markets, and in this regard Park ‘N Fly has launched an initial test market. Since 2008, we have opened and currently have operations in Atlanta, San Diego and Los Angeles, with encouraging results. No new locations have been established as of March 31, 2012. We are currently in negotiations with Park ‘N Fly to revise the existing arrangements we have with them

 

The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $6,825,939 since inception, and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.

 

The financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods shown. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

 

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 that effect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

 

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers cash in banks, deposits in transit, and highly-liquid debt instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable: The Company extends credit to customers based upon individual credit evaluation and the specific circumstances of the customer. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts that is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share: The Company calculates net income (loss) per share as required by ASC 450-10, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. During the periods when anti-dilutive, common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered in the computation.

 

Income Taxes: Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes and the effect of net operating loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets are evaluated to determine if it is more likely than not that they will be realized. Valuation allowances have been established to reduce the carrying value of deferred tax assets in recognition of significant uncertainties regarding their ultimate realization. Further, the evaluation has determined that there are no uncertain tax positions required to be disclosed. Management evaluated the Company’s tax positions under FASB ASC No. 740 “Uncertain Tax Positions,” and concluded that the Company had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the consolidated financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance.

 

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount 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 routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates that are critical to the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the, estimates related to asset impairments of long lived assets and investments, classification of expenditures as either an asset or an expense, valuation of deferred tax assets, and the likelihood of loss contingencies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates and assumptions are revised periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period it is determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition: Revenue is recognized when all applicable recognition criteria have been met, which generally include (a) persuasive evidence of an existing arrangement; (b) fixed or determinable price; (c) delivery has occurred or service has been rendered; and (d) collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured.

 

The Company’s current revenue stream is from Ecologic Products’ Ecologic Shine®. Through the agreement with Park ‘N Fly, Ecologic Shine® is currently operating in five Park ‘N Fly locations. The Company invoices Park ‘N Fly every two weeks by Ecologic Products for the total cars serviced, and Park ‘N Fly pays the Company within two weeks of receipt of the invoice. The Company is currently in negotiations with Park ‘N Fly to revise the existing arrangement.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment. If impairment indicators exist, the Company performs additional analysis to quantify the amount by which capitalized costs exceed recoverable value.

 

Stock Based Compensation: The Company records compensation expense for the fair value of stock options that are granted. Expense is recognized on a pro-rata basis over the vesting periods, if any, of the options. The fair value of stock options at their grant date is estimated by using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: ASC 825, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments. ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” (“ASC 820”) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2012.

 

The respective carrying values of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximate their fair values. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, leases receivable, prepaid and other current assets, inventory, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are either short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair value, they are receivable or payable on demand.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards: The Company evaluates the pronouncements of various authoritative accounting organizations, primarily the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”), to determine the impact of new pronouncements on US GAAP and the impact on the Company. The Company has adopted the following new accounting standards during 2012:

 

Trouble Debt Restructuring: Issued in April, 2011, ASU 2011-02 clarifies which loan modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings. It is intended to assist creditors in determining whether a modification of the terms of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring, both for purposes of recording an impairment loss and for disclosure of troubled debt restructurings. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and applies retrospectively to restructurings occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted.

 

Comprehensive Income: Issued in June, 2011, ASU 2011-05 eliminates the current option to present other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. It will require companies to report the total of comprehensive income including the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments in the ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted.

 

Intangibles: Issued in September, 2011, ASU 2011-08 permits entities to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the entity determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it would then perform the first step of the goodwill impairment test; otherwise, no further impairment test would be required. The amendments will be effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted.

 

Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities: Issued in December, 2011, ASU 2011-11 requires disclosures to provide information to help reconcile differences in the offsetting requirements under U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The differences in the offsetting requirements account for a significant difference in the amounts presented in statements of financial position prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRS for certain entities. An entity is required to apply the amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Updates: There were various updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries. None of the updates are expected to a have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Going Concern: We have incurred losses of $6,825,939 since inception and our ability to continue as a going concern depends upon our ability to develop profitable operations and to continue to raise adequate financing. We are actively targeting sources of additional financing to provide continuation of our operations. In order for us to meet our liabilities as they come due and to continue our operations, we are solely dependent upon our ability to generate such financing.

 

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to raise funds, in which case we may be unable to meet our obligations and we may cease operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Temporary differences are differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when the ultimate realization of a deferred tax as The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are presented below:

 

         
  March 31, 2012   December 31, 2011  
Deferred tax assets:            
Net operating loss carry forwards $ 2,642,000   $ 2,275,000  
Less valuation allowance   (2,642,000 )   (2,275,000 )
Net deferred tax asset $ -   $ -  
             

 

At this time, the Company is unable to determine if it will be able to benefit from its deferred tax asset. There are limitations on the utilization of net operating loss carry forwards, including a requirement that losses be offset against future taxable income, if any. In addition, there are limitations imposed by certain transactions which are deemed to be ownership changes. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been established for the entire deferred tax asset. The increase in the valuation allowance was approximately $367,000 for the three month period ending March 31, 2012.

 

The amount of income taxes the Company pays is subject to ongoing examinations by federal and state tax authorities. To date, there have been no reviews performed by federal or state tax authorities on any of the Company’s previously filed returns. The Company’s 2008 and later tax returns are still subject to examination.

Corporate History

 

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 30, 2005 under the name Heritage Explorations Inc. On June 20, 2008, we merged with our wholly owned subsidiary and changed our name to USR Technology, Inc. and on June 26, 2008 and our shares began trading under the symbol “USRT”. We were engaged primarily in the provision of drilling services internationally.

 

On July 2, 2009, USR's wholly owned subsidiary Ecological Acquisition Corp. was merged into Ecologic Sciences, Inc. (formerly, Ecologic Transportation, Inc.) with Ecologic Sciences, Inc. being the sole surviving entity under the name “Ecologic Sciences, Inc.” and our company being the sole shareholder of the surviving entity. In connection with the closing of the merger, we issued an aggregate of 17,309,486 restricted shares of our common stock representing approximately 75.85% of the issued and outstanding shares of our company to the former shareholders of Ecologic Sciences, Inc.

 

Following the completion of the acquisition of Ecologic Sciences, Inc., we are a development stage company that plans to be engaged in the rental of environmentally friendly hybrid, electric and low-emission vehicles to the public.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended:

 

  · effective June 11 2009, we effected a 2 old for 1 new reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized capital decreased from 150,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 to 75,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 and our issued and outstanding shares decreased from 15,020,017 shares of common stock to 7,510,000 shares of common stock;

 

  · effective June 11, 2009, we changed our name from “USR Technology, Inc.” to “Ecologic Transportation, Inc.”, by way of a merger with our wholly owned subsidiary Ecologic Transportation, Inc., which was formed solely for the change of name. The name change and forward stock split became effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening of trading on June 11, 2009 under the new stock symbol “EGCT”. Our CUSIP number was changed to 27888B 105;

 

  · certain of our pre-closing stockholders canceled 2,000,002 pre-consolidated shares of our common stock for no consideration for the purpose of making our capitalization more attractive to future equity investors; and

 

  · certain affiliates of our company cancelled an aggregate of $108,500 of debt at no consideration.

 

On July 2, 2009 and in connection with the closing of the agreement and plan of merger, there was a change in control of our company that resulted from the issuance of 17,559,486 shares of our common stock to the former shareholders of Ecologic Sciences, Inc.

 

The issuance of the 17,559,486 common shares to the former shareholders of Ecologic Sciences, Inc. was deemed to be a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes. Ecologic Sciences, Inc., the acquired entity, is regarded as the predecessor entity as of July 2, 2009. Starting with the periodic report for the quarter in which the acquisition was consummated, the Company has filed annual and quarterly reports based on the December 31st fiscal year end of Ecologic Sciences, Inc.

 

Until April 2009, we were a company focused on the drilling services sector of the oil and gas industry. As of the closing date of the agreement and plan of merger on July 2, 2009, we became a development stage company in the business of environmental transportation. We are structured with three operating units. Our primary operation is the car rental division which will focus on an environmental car rental operation.

Remuneration for the services to be provided by Oracle was the issuance, on April 4, 2011, of 620,000 restricted shares of our company’s common stock at par value. The shares were recorded on the books and records of our company at a value of $229,400 ($0.37 per share on the date of the Oracle Agreement) and have been amortized ratably over the period April 1, 2011 to September 30, 2011.

The Note bore interest at 7% per annum and included a provision to convert the Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.12 per share. On November 15, 2011, a modification was made to the Note, changing the conversion price to $0.32 per share. No other terms of the Note were modified.

Overview

 

Our car rental business and our products business intends to provide distribution channels for certain environmental products and both generate certain internal product requirements in order to allow us to be “green” throughout our operation. Initially our business plan calls for the products to be focused on transportation and its ancillary markets.

 

We are a development stage company in the business of environmental transportation. We are structured with two operating units. Our primary operation is the car rental division which will focus on an environmental car rental operation.

 

In anticipation of our first rental car location and our need for environmentally friendly car cleaning (one of the most important aspects of a rental operation), we developed Ecologic Shine®, a device and system for near-waterless car cleaning that delivers cleaning comparable to normal washing without using any harmful chemicals.

 

The commercialization of the Ecologic Shine® products and services are:

 

  · Good for the environment

 

  · Good for the customer

 

  · Good for the vehicle

 

  · Good for the bottom line

 

We have launched Ecologic Shine® in collaboration with Park ‘N Fly, the airport parking chain with prominent locations in 15 airport markets, and in this regard Park ‘N Fly has launched an initial test market. Since 2008, we have opened and currently have operations in Atlanta, San Diego and Los Angeles, with encouraging results. An additional location was opened in Houston in March, 2010 but, having not met expectations was subsequently closed in June, 2010 upon mutual agreement by Park ‘N Fly and the Company. No new locations have been established as of December 31, 2011. We are currently in negotiations with Park ‘N Fly to revise the existing arrangements we have with them.

We anticipate that we will have to raise additional funds through private placements of our equity securities and/or debt financing to complete our business plan. There is no assurance that the financing will be completed as planned or at all. If we are unable to secure adequate capital to continue our planned operations, our shareholders may lose some or all of their investment and our business may fail.

Our principal sources of funds have been from sales of our common stock and loans from related parties.

 

Going Concern

 

The consolidated unaudited financial statements included with this quarterly report have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as required and that our assets will be realized and liabilities settled in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the consolidated unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations.

 

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financial statements.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

 

Our company calculates net income (loss) per share as required by ASC 450-10, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. During the periods when anti-dilutive, common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered in the computation.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president, chief executive officer and chief financial officer to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. 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 with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. 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.

 

As of March 31, 2012, the end of our period covered by this quarterly report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our president, chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our president, chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three month period ended March 31, 2012 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

On November 15, 2011 the Company, as Plaintiff, filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, West District - Case No. SC114884 against William N. Plamondon, III, an individual., Erin Davis, an individual, R.I. Heller & Co., a Florida limited liability company; and Does 1 to 50, inclusive, as Defendants. Mr. Plamondon is the Company’s former Director, President and Chief Executive Officer. Erin Davis, Mr. Plamondon’s wife, is the Company’s former Secretary and R.I. Heller & Co. is the corporation controlled by Mr. Plamondon. Mr. Plamondon, resigned as Chief Executive Officer of the Company on October 10, 2011. The Company’s Complaint for Damages includes: Breach of Fiduciary Duty; Conspiracy to Steal Corporate Assets and Opportunities; Fraud; Breach of Contract; Theft of Corporate Assets and Opportunities; Intentional Tortious Interference with Business Relationships and Negligent Tortious Interference with Business Relationships.

 

The Case Management Conference scheduled for March 8, 2012 has been extended and the Company intends to aggressively pursue its filing and Complaint for Damages and is seeking $20 million in actual damages and $40 million in punitive damages as well as taking additional legal action to recoup any and all equity securities previously issued to Defendants. It is anticipated that these actions will be pursuant to a Court Order.

 

On January 9, 2012 Defendants filed a General Denial to the above action with Affirmative Defenses and Cross Complaints.

 

We know of no other material existing or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our company.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

Much of the information included in this quarterly report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other “forward looking statements”. Such forward looking statements include any projections and estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.

 

Such estimates, projections or other “forward looking statements” involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other “forward looking statements”.

 

Risks Related to our Business

 

We have a limited operating history, and it is difficult to evaluate our financial performance and prospects. There is no assurance that we will achieve profitability or that we will not discover problems with our business model.

 

We have a limited operating history. As such, it is difficult to evaluate our future prospects and performance, and therefore we cannot ensure that we will operate profitably in the future.

 

We have limited funds available for operating expenses. If we do not obtain funds when needed, we will have to cease our operations.

 

Currently, we have limited operating capital. As of March 31, 2012, our cash available was $25,385. In the foreseeable future, we expect to incur significant expenses when developing our business. We may be unable to locate sources of capital or may find that capital is not available on terms that are acceptable to us to fund our additional expenses. There is the possibility that we will run out of funds, and this may affect our operations and thus our profitability. If we cannot obtain funds when needed, we may have to cease our operations.

 

Our business plan may not be realized. If our business plan proves to be unsuccessful, our business may fail and you may lose your entire investment.

 

Our operations are subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including inadequate working capital and a limited operating history. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the development of a new business. Unanticipated events may occur that could affect the actual results achieved during the forecast periods. Consequently, the actual results of operations during the forecast periods will vary from the forecasts, and such variations may be material. In addition, the degree of uncertainty increases with each successive year presented. There can be no assurance that we will succeed in the anticipated operation of our business plan. If our business plan proves to be unsuccessful, our business may fail and you may lose your entire investment.

 

We will need additional financing to expand our business, and to implement our business plan. Such financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all.

 

If we need funds and cannot raise them on acceptable terms, we may not be able to:

 

  · execute our business plan;

 

  · acquire or lease our proposed fleet of rental cars;

 

  · take advantage of future opportunities, including synergistic acquisitions;

 

  · respond to customers, competitors or violators of our proprietary and contractual rights; or

 

  · remain in operation.

 

We will have to raise substantial additional capital if we wish to execute our business plan. There can be no assurance that debt or equity financing, or cash generated by operations, will be available or sufficient to meet our requirements. Additional funding may not be available under favorable terms, if at all.

 

We may be unable to predict accurately the timing and amount of our capital requirements. We have historically financed our activities through the sale of our equity securities, loans and from lines of credit. We may be required to raise additional funds through public or private financing, bank loans, collaborative relationships or other arrangements. It is possible that banks, venture capitalists and other investors may perceive our capital structure or operating history as too great a risk to bear. As a result, additional funding may not be available at attractive terms, or at all. If we cannot obtain additional capital when needed, we may be forced to agree to unattractive financing terms, change our method of operations, curtail operations significantly, obtain funds through entering into arrangements with collaborative partners or others, or issue additional securities. Any future issuances of our securities may result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders.

 

Our success will depend on our newly assembled senior management team.

 

Our success will be largely dependent upon the performance of our senior management team. Investors must rely on the expertise and judgment of senior management and other key personnel. The failure to attract and retain individuals with the skill and experience necessary to execute our business plan could have a materially adverse impact upon our prospects. We currently do not have any key man insurance policies and have no current plans to obtain any; therefore, there is a risk that the death or departure of any director, member of management, or any key employee could have a material adverse effect on operations.

 

We face significant competition in the car rental industry. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against our competitors.

 

The car rental business is highly competitive. We compete against a number of established rental car companies with greater marketing and financial capabilities. Our market specialization is the rental of hybrid electric and low-emissions cars. Although we believe that we will be the first rental company featuring predominately environmentally friendly cars, we may face difficulty competing against other car rental companies should they devote significant resources to such cars. There can be no assurance that one or more competitors may not initiate a rental business similar to ours, thus compromising the differentiating factor for us. Increased competition in the rental car industry may result in reduced operating margins, loss of market share and a diminished brand franchise. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against our competitors, and competitive pressures faced by us may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We are dependent on fleet financing for acquiring cars. Our failure to obtain financing for the acquisition of cars could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects.

 

Our ability to purchase and finance our proposed fleet of rental vehicles will depend on the calculation and assignment of risk for the resale value of the vehicles. Despite our plans for securing the resale value, lending companies may not be enticed to finance the cars. There can be no assurance that the financing required to purchase and deploy cars will be available to us in order to meet business projections. Our failure to obtain financing for the acquisition of cars could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects.

 

We may not maintain insurance sufficient to cover the full extent of our liabilities. The payment of such uninsured liabilities would reduce the funds available to us.

 

We intend to maintain various forms of insurance. However, such insurance has limitations on liability that may not be sufficient to cover the full extent of such liabilities. Also, such risks may not, in all circumstances, be insurable or, in certain circumstances, we may elect not to obtain insurance to deal with specific risks due to the high premiums associated with such insurance or other reasons. The payment of such uninsured liabilities would reduce the funds available to us. The occurrence of a significant event that we are not fully insured against, or the insolvency of the insurer of such event, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or prospects.

 

We may not be able to obtain all the necessary licenses and permits required to carry on our business activities.

 

Our operations may require licenses and permits from various governmental authorities. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry required business activities.

 

We may not be able to maintain the information technology and computer systems required to serve our customers.

 

Our reputation and ability to attract retain, and serve customers are dependent upon the reliable performance of our technology infrastructure and fulfillment processes. Interruptions or technical problems could make our systems unavailable to service customers and could diminish the overall attractiveness of our service to potential customers.

 

Risks Relating to Our Common Shares

 

Trading on the OTC Bulletin Board may be volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common shares and make it difficult for our shareholders to resell their shares.

 

Our common shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board service. Trading in shares quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common shares for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like Nasdaq or a stock exchange like Amex. Accordingly, shareholders may have difficulty reselling any of the shares.

 

Our share is a penny stock. Trading of our share may be restricted by the SEC’s penny stock regulations which may limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our shares.

 

Our share is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the shares that are subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common shares.

 

FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a shareholder's ability to buy and sell our shares.

 

In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common shares, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our shares.
