ALLIED AMERICAN STEEL CORP.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2012

 

Note 1.  Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in the understanding of the financial statements.  The financial statements and notes are representations of management.  These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying balance sheets and related interim statements of operations and cash flows include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with U.S. GAAP for Allied American Steel Corp. (the “Company”). Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.

 

Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in these Notes should be read in conjunction with information included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2012.

 

Nature of business and organization

 

The Company’s principal business objective is as an exploration company focused on the discovery and production of significant iron ore resources and the titanium dioxide resources often associated with iron deposits. Prior to entering into the Assignment Agreement on May 27, 2011 (see Note 4), we were a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). We believe that as a result of such Assignment Agreement we have ceased to be a shell company. The Company’s planned principal operations have commenced, but there has been no significant revenue therefrom, operations have been limited to general administrative operations and exploration, and, as a result, the Company is considered an exploration stage company as defined by ASC Topic 915 and SEC Industry Guide 7.

 

Revenue recognition

 

The Company has no revenues to date from its operations. Once revenues are generated, management will establish a revenue recognition policy.

 

Mineral Properties

 

The Company accounts for its mining activities in accordance with FASB ASC 930 “Extractive Activities – Mining.” The Company capitalizes the costs to acquire mineral properties. Exploration costs are expensed as incurred and include geological and geophysical work on areas without identified reserves, together with drilling and other related costs. Capitalization of mine development costs that meet the definition of an asset begins once all operating permits have been secured, mineralization is classified as proven and probable reserves and a final feasibility study has been completed. Mine development costs include engineering and metallurgical studies, drilling and other related costs to delineate an ore body, and the removal of overburden to initially expose an ore body at open pit surface mines. All capitalized costs are amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the ore body based on recoverable quantities to be mined from proven and probable reserves. Interest expense allocable to the cost of developing mining properties and to construct new facilities is capitalized until assets are ready for their intended use.  The Company had no mine development costs at June 30, 2012.

(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2012

 

Mining facilities and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for facilities and equipment relating to new assets or improvements are capitalized if they extend useful lives or extend functionality. Fixed plant and machinery are amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the ore body based on recoverable quantities to be produced from estimated proven and probable mineral reserves. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred, except when these repairs extend the life or functionality of the asset. In these instances, that portion of the expenditure is capitalized and amortized over the period benefited. Depreciation, depletion and amortization is allocated to product inventory cost and then included as a component of operating expense as inventory is sold. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had no facilities and equipment.

 

As of June 30, 2012, the Company had not established any proven or probable reserves.

 

Estimates

 

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  The Company is subject to uncertainty of future events, economic, environmental and political factors and changes in the Company’s business environment; therefore, actual results could differ from these estimates.  Accordingly, accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company’s operating environment changes.  Changes are made in estimates as circumstances warrant.  Such changes in estimates and refinement of estimation methodologies are reflected in the statements.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

The carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets are reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value. Impairment on interests in mineral reserves are evaluated by considering criteria such as estimates of future cash flows that are directly associated with the asset, future extractive activity plans for the properties, and the results of geographic and geologic data related to the properties. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had fully impaired its interest in mineral rights.

 

Basic and diluted net loss per share

 

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share,” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period.

 

Diluted EPS excludes all potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Shares associated with stock warrants are not included because their inclusion would be antidilutive (i.e., reduce the net loss per share).

 

At June 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding potentially dilutive shares of 893,176.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has analyzed all recent accounting pronouncements and believes that none will have a material impact on the financial statements.

 Note 2.  Going Concern

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred a net operating loss of $1,292,077 from inception through June 30, 2012. The Company’s planned principal operations have commenced, but there has been no significant revenue.  Operations have been limited to general administrative operations and exploration, and the Company remains in the exploration stages, raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Note 3.  Prepaid Expense

 

At June 30, 2012, the Company’s prepaid expenses consisted of $1,875 of directors and officers insurance.

 

Note 4.  Option to Purchase Mineral Interests

 

We do not own any property.  We had an option to acquire certain mineral rights.

 

On May 27, 2011, the Company entered into an Assignment and Sale Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) with North American Iron Ore, Inc., a Nevis corporation (“North American”), which became a related party on May 27, 2011, and Canamara Energy Corporation, a British Columbia corporation (“Canamara”).  The Assignment Agreement provides the Company with an option to acquire up to a 60% undivided interest in certain mineral claims (the “Mineral Claims” or the “Property”) located in Lyonne Township, Roberval County in the Province of Quebec (the “Lake Touladi Property”), free and clear of all claims, liens, charges and encumbrances, save and except for those set forth in the Assignment Agreement, including a 2.5% royalty held by the underlying owner (the “Option”). The Mineral Claims presently represent 48 contiguous claims totaling approximately 2,741 hectares.

 

To exercise the Option assigned to the Company in the Assignment Agreement, the Company was required to incur expenditures on the Property in the amount of CDN $1,548,346 (approximately US$1,599,000 based on the conversion rate in effect as of June 1, 2011) on or before May 7, 2012. On May 7, 2012 the Company determined not to exercise the Option under the Assignment Agreement. This determination was made on the basis of work performed on the Lake Touladi Property, review of diligence materials and internal discussions with members of our Advisory Board. The Company does not believe the Lake Touladi Property to be a viable resource mine as significant portions of the iron and some of the titanium resources located on the Lake Touladi Property are locked in silicate materials where economic recovery is unlikely. Further, the Company believes that the Lake Touladi Property contains substantially lower grades of titanium compared to similar mining projects in the area. The Company is actively seeking to locate alternate mining opportunities.

 

As of June 30, 2012, the Company incurred $87,742 of exploration costs on the property on which such Mineral Claims are located.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2012

 

Under the Assignment Agreement, the Company issued 15,075,175 shares of its restricted common stock. The stock value was based on ASC 505-50-30-6, which evaluates the fair value of the equity instruments issued versus the fair value of goods or services received in share-based payment transactions with nonemployees, whichever is more reliably measurable. The Company determined that the fair value of the equity instruments issued were reliably measurable, and the Company valued the 15,075,175 shares at $0.00833 per share (rounded) for a total of $125,626 based on the per share value of a March 2011 stock transaction which was recorded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board.

 

The Company evaluated the Assignment Agreement for impairment based on ASC 360-10-35-21 as a result of the Company’s current-period operating loss, history of operating losses, combined with the difficulty of accurately and reliably estimating future cash flows directly associated with the Property, given the stage of development of the Property. As a result, for the year ending December 31, 2011, the Company fully impaired the value of the Assignment Agreement in the amount of $125,626.

 

Summary

 

Mineral interests consisted of the following:

   2012   2011 
Option on mineral rights  $-   $125,626 
Impairment charge   -    (125,626)
Total  $-   $- 

 

Note 5.  Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company is subject to certain commitments and contingencies related to the Assignment Agreement that is described in Note 4.

 

Note 6.  Stockholders’ Equity and Warrants

 

The Company’s articles of incorporation provide for the authorization of 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock and 900,000,000 shares of common stock with par values of $0.001.  Common stock holders have all the rights and obligations that normally pertain to stockholders of Nevada corporations.  The Company has not issued any shares of preferred stock.  As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had 101,668,351 and 101,543,351 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively.  On April 27, 2011, the Company authorized an 18:1 forward split in the form of a dividend of its issued and outstanding common stock which became effective on May 19, 2011.  The dividend shares were issued on June 1, 2011.  These unaudited condensed financial statements and notes retroactively reflect the forward split.

Warrants

 

In April 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with North American, for the sale of 133,282 units of securities of the Company at $0.75 per unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of $99,962. Each unit consisted of the following: (1) one share of common stock; (2) one warrant, entitling the holder to purchase one share of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.90 per share during a period of three years from issuance. No warrants have been exercised as of June 30, 2012.

 

The Company calculated the fair value of these warrants to be $700 using the Black Scholes model.  The Company used the following assumptions: stock price of $0.0083, an exercise price of $0.90, expected term of 36 months, volatility of 220.54%, and discount rate of 1.280%. The fair value of the warrants is treated as offering costs and it would be a debit and credit entry to additional paid in capital resulting in a null effect in net equity.

 

In June 2011, The Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with North American, for the sale of 759,894 units of securities of the Company at $0.75 per unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of $569,923. Each unit consisted of the following: (1) one share of common stock; (2) one warrant, entitling the holder to purchase one share of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.90 per share during a period of three years from issuance. No warrants have been exercised as of June 30, 2012.

 

The Company calculated the fair value of these warrants to be $1,247,800 using the Black Scholes model.  The Company used the following assumptions: stock price of $1.71, an exercise price of $0.90, expected term of 36 months, volatility of 220.54%, and discount rate of 0.765%. The fair value of the warrants is treated as offering costs and it would be a debit and credit entry to additional paid in capital resulting in a null effect in net equity.

June 30, 2012

 

On June 22, 2011, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Stewart Jackson to provide consulting services as the Company’s Advisor. As compensation, Mr. Jackson was to receive an upfront cash fee of $5,000 and $550 per day plus expenses for visits to the Company’s Property. The Company was entitled to require that Mr. Jackson perform site visits three times per calendar year. In addition, Mr. Jackson was to receive 100,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock, 50,000 of which shares were to be issued as soon as practicable following the execution of the consulting agreement and 50,000 of which shares were to be issued as soon as practicable after December 22, 2011. The term of this agreement was for a twelve month period commencing June 22, 2011. 50,000 of these shares were issued in June 2011 and 50,000 of these shares were issued in March 2012. The valuation of the stock was determined by recent sales of stock that provided the most reliable measure of fair value in accordance with ASC 505-50-30-6. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded compensation expense in the amount of $0.

 

On May 7, 2012 the Company determined not to exercise its Option under the Assignment Agreement. This determination was made on the basis of work performed on the Lake Touladi Property, review of diligence materials and internal discussions with members of the Company’s Advisory Board. The Company does not believe the Lake Touladi Property to be a viable resource mine as significant portions of the iron and some of the titanium resources located on the Lake Touladi Property are locked in silicate materials where economic recovery is unlikely. Further, the Company believes that the Lake Touladi Property contains substantially lower grades of titanium compared to similar mining projects in the area. The Company is actively seeking to locate alternate mining opportunities.

General Overview

 

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 7, 2007 under the name Zion Nevada Corporation to acquire, develop and manage commercial and residential real estate properties. We were unsuccessful in this endeavor and never commenced material operations in this area. On May 21, 2009, we changed our name to Royal Union Holding Corporation. On April 28, 2011, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to which we merged with our wholly owned subsidiary, Allied American Steel Corporation, a Nevada corporation with no material operations ("Merger Sub" and such merger transaction, the "Merger"). Upon the consummation of the Merger, the separate existence of Merger Sub ceased and our shareholders became shareholders of the surviving company named Allied American Steel Corporation. We changed our name to Allied American Steel Corporation to reflect a name which recognized our present business focused on the discovery and production of iron ore resources and titanium dioxide resources.

 

Assignment and Sale Agreement

 

 On May 27, 2011, we entered into an Assignment and Sale Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) with North American Iron Ore, Inc., a Nevis corporation (“North American”) and Canamara Energy Corporation, a British Columbia, Canada corporation (“Canamara”). The Assignment Agreement provided us with the option to acquire up to a 60% undivided interest in certain mineral claims (the “Mineral Claims”, the “Property” or the “Lake Touladi Property”) located in Lyonne Township, Roberval County in the Province of Quebec, free and clear of all claims, liens, charges and encumbrances, save and except for those set forth in the Assignment Agreement, including a 2.5% royalty held by the underlying owner. The Mineral Claims represent 48 contiguous claims totaling approximately 2,741 hectares of iron and titanium dioxide resources.

 

Pursuant to the Assignment Agreement, we were the assignee of North American which had entered into an agreement with Canamara on May 7, 2010, under which North American had the option to acquire the Mineral Claims by making cash payment to Canamara or making expenditures on the Property as follows:

 

14
 

 

CDN $150,000 (for Canamara) on May 7, 2010;

 

CDN $250,000 (for Property expenditures) on or prior to November 7, 2010; and

 

CDN $1,750,000 (for Property expenditures) on or prior to May 7, 2012.

 

As of the May 27, 2011, North American had paid Canamara or made expenditures with respect to the Mineral Claims in the aggregate amount of CDN $601,654 (approximately US$603,007 at the times of payment). In connection with the foregoing, expenditures means the sum of all monies spent in prospecting, exploring, geological, geophysical and geochemical surveying, sampling, examining, diamond and other types of drilling, developing, dewatering, assaying, testing, constructing, maintaining and operating roads, trails and bridges upon or across the Property, buildings, equipment, plant and supplies, salaries and wages (including fringe benefits) of employees and contractors directly engaged therein, insurance premiums, and all other expenses ordinarily incurred in prospecting, exploring and developing mining lands.

 

Pursuant to the Assignment Agreement, we issued to North American 15,075,175 shares of our restricted common stock which were valued, for the purpose of the Assignment Agreement, at a price of $0.04 per share or an aggregate of US$603,007.

 

To exercise the option assigned to us in the Assignment Agreement, we were required to incur expenditures on the Property in the amount of CDN $1,548,346 (approximately US$1,599,000 based on the conversion rate in effect as of June 1, 2011) on or before May 7, 2012. Based upon work performed by us on the Lake Touladi Property, review of diligence materials and internal discussions with the members of our Advisory Board, in May 2012 we determined not to exercise the option. We continue to look at other ventures involving the discovery and production of iron ore resources and the titanium dioxide resources often associated with iron deposits.

 

Exploration and Prospecting Program

 

During July 2011, we completed Phase I of our initial Prospecting Program at a cost of approximately $31,500 under which we located mineral outcrops on the Lake Touladi Property, estimated the size of mineralized zones, identified prospect targets and hired clearers to establish access to the Property.

 

During August, 2011, we completed Part A of Phase II of our Exploration Program at a cost of approximately $30,400 and under which we cleared outcrops, prepared preliminary access to outcrops and conducted limited channel sampling.

 

In August 2011, we retained Multi-Resources Boreal, a Quebec corporation (“MRB”) that provides mineral exploration services, to verify the presence of iron bearing rock on the Lake Touladi Property. A total of 43 one meter channel samples were taken at 18 separate outcrops and the samples were assayed at AGAT Laboratories in Mississauga, Ontario.

 

On October 21, 2011 we entered into a Services Agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with MRB. Under the Services Agreement, MRB provided us with prospecting, trenching, sampling and other exploration services and manpower with respect to the Lake Touladi Property. The Services Agreement expired on April 21, 2012.

 

Performance of services by MRB under the Services Agreement was contingent on the prior receipt by MRB on the first of each month of an expense advance sufficient to cover budgeted expenses for that month. The term of the Services Agreement principally related to Part B of Phase II of our work program which was dedicated to Prospect Exploration. Part A of our Phase II Program which involved the clearing of outcrops, preparing a preliminary map of outcrops and limited channel sampling has been completed. Part B of Phase II ran through March 2012 and involved costs of approximately US$189,000. Activities included geological mapping and sampling of outcrops. MRB was responsible for locating subcontractors including, but not limited to, heavy equipment operators, drilling companies, and assay labs.

 

15
 

 

Further to Part A of our Phase II Program, in August 2011 we retained MRB to verify the presence of iron-bearing rock on the Property. A number of outcrops were discovered in or near the southern portion of the property in an area that was approximately 250 meters wide (east to west) and 500 meters long (north to south). A total of 43 one meter channel samples were taken at 18 separate outcrops. The samples were assayed at AGAT Laboratories in Mississauga, Ontario using a lithium borate fusion and ICP-OES finish. The average of all samples taken was 30.11% Iron Oxide (Fe2O3) and 2.83% Titanium Dioxide (TiO2). The best sample assayed indicated 40.75% Fe2O3. Titanium Dioxide appeared to be highly variable with assays reported as high as 5.48% and as low as 0.149%. In addition, the samples contained an average of 0.42%, Phosphorous Pentoxide (P2O5), with a maximum of 5.48%. Additional exploration verified the presence of iron bearing rock in an area one kilometer to the north of the northern edge of the minerals detected in the previously tested area. Exploration was also done to investigate continuity of mineral between the two zones. No outcrops of iron-rich rock were found between the two zones. A total of 47 samples were taken during this phase and analyzed at the ALS Chemex Lad in Val d’Or, Quebec. Analysis of those samples indicated that the deposit was subtly zoned, being more iron-rich in the south and more titanium-rich in the north. Permits for trenching were applied for, but not granted due to wetlands issues. We were in the process of reapplying for trenching and drilling permits when the determination was made not to exercise the option.

 

In September 2011, Bueno de Oro, a Nevada Geological Services corporation, was hired to manage the program. After managing the fall field program described above, Bueno de Oro designed and implemented a number of activities in order to use the data obtained during the field program to advance understanding of the deposit and design a more efficient approach to project exploration. Work included more detailed petrographic analysis, magnetic susceptibility testing, preliminary density determinations, metallurgical testing, analysis of analog deposits, construction of cross sections, geochemical analysis, geologic modeling, estimates of geologic potential, drill proposals, creation of customized standards for a QA/QC program and geologic reports. As a result of the work performed and related diligence, we determined that a significant portion of the iron and possibly some of the titanium located on the Lake Touladi property was locked in silicate minerals where economic recovery is unlikely. This changed the economic focus on the Lake Touladi Property from iron potential to titanium potential.

 

Results of Operations for the Six Month Period Ended June 30, 2012 Compared to Six Month Period Ended June 30, 2011

 

During the six month period ended June 30, 2012, we generated no revenues, we had operating expenses of $180,773 and we incurred a net loss of $180,773.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We will need additional capital to implement our strategies. Given the currently unsettled state of the capital markets and credit markets, there is no assurance that we will be able to raise the amount of capital that we seek. Even if financing is available, it may not be available on terms that are acceptable to us. In addition, we do not have any determined sources for any future funding. If we are unable to raise the necessary capital at the times we require such funding, we may have to materially change our business plan, including delaying implementation of aspects of our business plan or curtailing or abandoning our business plan. We represent a speculative investment and investors may lose all of their investment.

 

Since inception, we have been financed primarily by way of loans and sales of our equity and debt securities. During 2011, these financings principally consisted of our April 15, 2011 and June 20, 2011 Securities Purchase Agreements with North American under which we received net proceeds of $669,885.

 

The report of our auditors on our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 contains a going concern qualification as we have suffered losses since our inception. We have achieved no operating revenues since our inception. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $81,678 and $225,036, current assets of $83,553 and $235,535 and current liabilities of $57,684 and $28,893, respectively. Unless and until we achieve material revenues, we will remain dependent on loans and on financings to continue our operations.

 

We do not currently engage in any product research and development and have no plans to do so in the foreseeable future. We have no present plans to purchase or sell any plant or significant equipment. We also have no present plans to add employees although we may do so in the future if we engage in any merger or acquisition transactions. We have however engaged strategic advisors who are serving in consulting capacities.

 

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was ($143,358) for the six month period ended June 30, 2012, as compared to net cash used of ($133,077) for the six month period ended June 30, 2011.

 

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

 

During the six month period ended June 30, 2012, we received no cash from financing activities. During the period from March 7, 2007 (date of inception) through June 30, 2012, we received net cash of $791,081 from financing activities consisting primarily of proceeds from the issuance of common stock and warrants.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have never entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements and have not formed any special purpose entities. We have not guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities or entered into any options on non-financial assets.

 

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Our Disclosure Controls

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer (principal executive officer) and chief financial officer (principal financial officer), Jes Black, 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 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 not effective to insure 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. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded, as of the Evaluation Date, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the identification of what might be deemed a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting which is identified below.

 

1.We do not have an audit committee. While we are not currently obligated to have an audit committee, including a member who is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K, under applicable regulations or listing standards, it is management’s view that such a committee is an important internal control over financial reporting, the lack of which may result in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of internal controls and procedures.

 

2.We did not maintain proper segregation of duties for the preparation of our financial statements. We currently only have one officer overseeing all transactions. This has resulted in several deficiencies including the lack of control over preparation of financial statements, and proper application of accounting policies.

 

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in the two items above did not have an effect on our financial reporting. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board of Directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

 

Management’s Remediation Initiatives

 

In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we plan to initiate the following series of measures once we have the financial resources to do so:

 

We will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us. We also plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our Board of Directors who shall be appointed to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee which will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds are available to us.

 

Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, would remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board.

 

18
 

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

In December 2008, we were named as a defendant in an amended complaint filed in the District Court of Nevada, Clark County by Phyllis Wynn Family Trust, Plaintiff vs. Onecap Holding Corp, Onecap Properties, et al, defendant(s) [case number 08A578385]. The complaint names over eighty defendants including the Company and alleges multiple causes of actions including breach of contract and fraud against various other defendants and fraudulent conveyance. The substance of the Complaint involves a real estate transaction not involving the Company. We have answered with affirmative defenses including but not limited to the following: the injuries and damages complained of did not occur as the result of any action on the part of the Company but as the sole, direct and proximate result of actions by the Plaintiff and third parties not otherwise related to the Company. Since then one or more of the other defendants filed for bankruptcy and this case was removed to a federal bankruptcy court [case number: Nevada Federal Bankruptcy Court Case No.: BK-S 10-20833-BA].

 

In May 2010, we were named as an intervenor defendant in an amended complaint filed in the District Court of Nevada, Clark County by Anthony Puerner, Plaintiff vs. Onecap Mortgage, et al, defendant(s) [case number A-09-596875-C]. The complaint names more than 30 other individuals and/or entities as defendants. The Plaintiff’s claim as against these defendants, including the Company, is that they are the alter egos of a judgment debtor, not otherwise related to the Company. The Plaintiff in Intervention is an unsecured creditor with a judgment against an individual personally, who is not an officer, director or shareholder of the Company. We have answered with affirmative defenses including but not limited to the following: the injuries and damages complained of did not occur as the result of any action on the part of the Company and failure to state a claim. In February 2011, the case was moved to federal bankruptcy court [case number 10-18090-mkn United States Bankruptcy Court District of Nevada].

 

In the ordinary course of our business, we may from time to time become subject to routine litigation or administrative proceedings which are incidental to our business. Except as set forth above, we are not a party to nor are we aware of any existing, pending or threatened lawsuits or other legal actions involving us.
