BUSINESS

 

Our History

 

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, on November 18, 2010.  The Company originally intended to commence operations in the business of distributing Bohemian Cristal Chandeliers. However, the Company has not generated any revenue since its inception and prior to the consummation of the Exchange Agreement referred to in Items 1.01 and this Item 2.01, the Company was considered a shell company under applicable rules of the Securities Exchange Commission promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Organizational History of Homeland

 

Homeland Safety Consultants, Inc. (“Homeland”) was incorporated under the laws of New York on February 3, 2004. On August 21, 2007 the Company formed under the laws of New York and organized a wholly owned subsidiary named Homeland Safety Training, Inc. Homeland provides construction site safety services (which are required to be maintained by the New York City Department of Buildings) for companies located in New York City. It provides licensed site safety manager services on major construction projects. The Company and its subsidiary also provide safety training, fire safety and emergency preparedness services that are required by the Fire Department of New York City.

 

Until the consummation of the Exchange Agreement, six shareholders collectively owned all of the outstanding capital stock of Homeland. As the result of the Exchange Agreement, the Company became the owner of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Homeland.

 

Business of Homeland

 

Homeland is a construction safety and training company. Founded in 2004, Homeland has served the New York City area in construction safety services, safety training and fire and emergency preparedness. Homeland’s main source of revenue (approximately 95% and 92% of Homeland’s entire net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and year ended December 31, 2011, respectively) is generated by providing site safety services to major construction projects by staffing licensed site safety managers and construction fire safety managers on construction sites, conducting safety audits and inspections and developing and filing site safety plans, health and safety plans and other construction-related plans with the New York City Department of Buildings (the “DOB”). Homeland offers a comprehensive array of training classes to the construction and fire safety industries. These classes include many OSHA classes, DOB-required classes and fire safety courses as mandated by the New York City Fire Department (“FDNY”). Homeland also works with building managers and owners of high rise buildings to develop and file fire safety and emergency action plans with the FDNY.

 

Site safety managers (“SSM”) are required on all New York City construction projects of 15 stories or higher, where the footprint is greater than 100,000 square feet and when otherwise required by the DOB. Coordinators are required on all construction projects of 10-14 stories. Concrete safety managers are required on all major buildings during the concrete portion of the project. A construction site fire safety manager (“CSFSM”) is required to be on all sites that require an SSM or Coordinator. Depending on the size of the project the SSM and CSFSM may be the same person. On larger projects a separate CSFSM is required.

 

Homeland also conducts safety inspections and audits as requested by general contractors, developers and insurance companies.

 

DOB regulations require that Site Safety Plans must be filed with and approved by the DOB prior to permits being issued for construction and Local Law 11 (façade) projects. Homeland assists owners in preparing such plans.

Homeland also offers a comprehensive curriculum of Bew York City DOB, Fire Department and OSHA training classes. Such classes are conducted at Homeland’s offices at 130 William Street, New York, New York and at other places in the Wall Street area as well as at client-specific locations. Classes (some of which are also conducted in Spanish) include:

 

·OSHA 10 and 30 hour classes

 

·32 hour classes regarding supported scaffold and a 4 hour refresher course

 

·Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency response (HAZWOPER) classes

 

·40 hour SSM training classes and 7 hour refresher classes for SSMs

 

·CFSFM training classes

 

·Construction Superintendent classes

 

·30 hour Concrete Safety Manager classes

 

·Mold and mildew remediation classes

 

·20 hour Fire safety director training classes

 

·8 hour training classes for Emergency Action Plan Directors

 

·8 hour training classes for building operations, maintenance and recordkeeping.

 

The tuition charged by Homeland for the training classes range from $200 to $750.

 

The New York City Fire Department requires all applicable office buildings to file a combined Fire Safety and Emergency Action Plan. Homeland has filed such plans for such significant buildings as NYC’s Fire Department headquarter, The New York Times Building and The New York Life Building. Homeland provides ongoing support for Fire Safety and Emergency Action Plan support, training, drills and advisory services.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

Homeland obtains clients through training, word of mouth, referrals and direct sales efforts by Homeland personnel.

 

Employees and Independent Contractors

 

As of October 31, 2012 Homeland had a total of 23 full-time employees, including 13 engaged in site safety operations, 8 engaged in administration and 2 engaged in training and development of fire safety and emergency action plans sales and marketing. As of such date Homeland had 6 part-time employees, 4 of which were site safety managers and 2 of which were involved in administration and training.. As of October 31, 2012 there were approximately 5 people who were then independent contractors to Homeland performing site safety operations and 2 people who were then independent contractors to Homeland performing training.

Raw Materials

 

Because Homeland is primarily in the business of providing site safety services, Homeland does not utilize any significant amount of raw materials. All of the raw materials needed for Homeland’s business model are readily available from numerous different suppliers and at market driven prices.

 

Seasonality

 

The business of Homeland is not seasonal to any significant degree.

 

Intellectual Property

 

Homeland does not own any trademarks, service marks or patents.

 

Competition

 

Homeland believes that it operates in an industry which is competitive. However, competition within the industry in New York is fragmented with no participant holding a dominant market share. Homeland believes that there are approximately 25 companies competing in the New York area.

 

Description of Property

 

Homeland leases approximately 5,136 square feet of office space on the sixth and eighth floors of 130 William Street, New York, New York for its headquarters and training classes at 130 William Street, New York, New York under leases dated March 15, 2010 and September 1, 2010 with 130 William St. Holdings Co., LLC. The initial terms of the leases expire on February 28, 2015 and August 31, 2015, respectively, and Homeland has certain options to renew such leases. The aggregate monthly fixed rent being paid under both leases as of October 31, 2012 was $11,560. The aggregate monthly fixed rent under such leases will increase during the term of the leases. In addition, Homeland leases approximately 1,500 additional square feet of space at 130 William Street, New York, New York under an oral month to month lease for an additional $2,000 per month. Homeland believes that the leased properties are sufficient for its current and anticipated business for the next two years.

Board Composition

 

The Company’s Board of Directors is currently composed of two members – Michael Gianatasio and Jeffrey Devlin.

 

The Company currently does not have standing audit, nominating or compensation committees. Currently, its entire board of directors is responsible for the functions that would otherwise be handled by these committees.  We intend, however, to establish an audit committee, a nominating committee and a compensation committee of the Board of Directors as soon as practicable.  We envision that nominating committee would be primarily responsible for nominating directors and setting policies and procedures for the nomination of directors.  The nominating committee would also be responsible for overseeing the creation and implementation of our corporate governance policies and procedures.  The compensation committee will be primarily responsible for reviewing and approving our salary and benefit policies (including stock options), including compensation of executive officers.

Our Board of Directors will adopt a new code of ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer.

The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in revenue and an improved gross profit margin.

Going Concern Qualification

 

Although the Company had a net income of $1,635 and positive cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $135,000 as of June 30, 2012. In addition, at June 30, 2012, the Company has a cash balance of approximately $10,000 and a working capital deficiency of approximately $155,000. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity include cash from operations and loans from both related and unrelated parties.

 

The Company needs additional capital to fund current working capital requirements, ongoing debt service and to repay its obligations that are maturing over the upcoming twelve month period. Management plans to increase revenues and to control operating expenses in order to reduce losses from operations. Additionally, the Company plans to seek equity and/or debt financing in order to enable the Company to meet its financial obligations.

  

14
 

 

As of June 30, 2012, the Company had cash balances of approximately $10,007 compared to $6,699 on June 30, 2011. Net cash provided by operating activities for the 6 months ended June 30, 2012 was $92,782 compared to ($289,065) for the 6 months ended June 30, 2011. Improved revenues and higher margins as described above were the main contributor to this increase. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had cash balances of $34,893 compared to $5,769 on December 31, 2010. Net cash provided by operations was ($166,615) in 2011 compared to ($ 120,946) in 2010. In both years an increase in accounts receivables was the major component of this figure.

  

Net cash used in investing activities in 2011 was ($13,931), which reflects purchases of new computer equipment. Net cash used in investing activities was ($40,033) in 2010 which was the result of office improvements performed to the Company’s office space. During the 6 months ended June 30, 2012, the Company did not use any cash in investing activities compared the ($6,084) used during the 6 months ended June 30, 2011 for computer equipment.

 

Net cash used in financing activities amounted to approximately ($117,668) in the six months ended June 30, 2012. This was due to the net repayment of short term debt of $117,668. Net cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $296,079 and $209,670 for the entire year of 2011. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 the Company had to borrow a net of $296,079 to compensate for having generated less cash from operations. As the Company produced positive cash from operations during the second half of 2011, it was able to repay a net of $86,409 of short term debt. In 2010 the Company’s net cash provided from financing activities was $136,929.

 

Bank loans

 

The Company has a 5 year term loan with a commercial bank bearing interest at 11.5%. The principal balance of the loan as of June 30, 2012 was $291,162. The loan matures in May 2013. The loan is secured by the assets of the Company and is guaranteed jointly and severally by two of the Company’s shareholders.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company currently has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical accounting policies and estimates

 

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements.

 

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 the contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant estimates, assumptions and judgments are applied in the determination of our allowance for doubtful accounts and our valuation allowance based on future taxable income. Estimates have been prepared on the basis of the most current and best information available as of each balance sheet date. As such, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

15
 

 

Revenue Recognition: Revenue consists primarily of fees received, based on time and materials, for providing site safety managers on major construction sites and safety training, fire safety and emergency preparedness services. Revenue is recognized in the period in which the services are performed and amounts are earned, and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivables are non-interest bearing obligations due under normal trade terms. Senior management reviews accounts receivable on a monthly basis to determine if any receivables will be potentially uncollectible. Historical bad debts and current economic trends are used in evaluating the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company includes any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible, along with a general reserve, in its overall allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. Based on the information available, the Company believes its allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 is adequate.

 

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Homeland Safety Consultants, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Homeland Safety Training, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Income Taxes: The Company adopted FASB ASC 740-1050, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. ASC 740-10-50 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740-10 requires that the Company determine whether the benefits of its tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. The Company recognizes the impact of an uncertain income tax position taken on its income tax return at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 for accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, other assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the immediate or short-term nature of these financial instruments. The fair value of long-term debt approximates its carrying value at the stated or discounted rate of the debt to reflect recent market conditions.

 

Earnings (Loss) per share: FASB ASC 260-10 requires the presentation of basic earnings per share ("basic EPS") and diluted earnings per share ("diluted EPS").

 

The Company’s basic income (loss) per common share is based on net income (loss) for the relevant period, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per common share is based on net income, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including common share equivalents, such as outstanding stock options and beneficial conversion of related party accounts. The computation of diluted loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2011 does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of warrants, and securities as they would have an anti-dilutive effect on the earnings resulting from the Company’s net loss position in that period.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not have any common share equivalents.

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This guidance improves the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and increases the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. The guidance provided by this update becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. For nonpublic entities, the ASU is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012, and interim and annual periods thereafter. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

 

No other recently issued accounting standards are expected to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

 

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

We know of no material, active, pending or threatened proceeding against us or Homeland nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation.

 

MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK

 

We have two classes of equity securities: (i) Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (“Common Stock”), 17,673,333 shares of which are outstanding as of the date of this Current Report, held by approximately 17 shareholders of record and (ii) Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share, (“Series A Stock”), 10 shares of which are outstanding as of the date of this Current Report, held by one person. Our Common Stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board ("OTCBB") under the symbol "BECO". There is a limited public market for our common shares.  Our common shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “BECO”.  Trading in stocks quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may be unrelated to a company’s operations or business prospects.  We cannot assure you that there will be a market in the future for our common stock.

 

OTC Bulletin Board securities are not listed or traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange.  Instead, OTC Bulletin Board securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks.  OTC Bulletin Board issuers are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.

 

The Company has not paid any cash dividends since its inception and we do not foresee declaring any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. 

 

Penny Stock Regulations

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Our Common Stock, when and if a trading market develops, may fall within the definition of penny stock and be subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000, or annual incomes exceeding $200,000 individually, or $300,000, together with their spouse).

 

17
 

 

For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser's prior written consent to the transaction. Additionally, for any transaction, other than exempt transactions, involving a penny stock, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the Commission relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the "penny stock" rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell the our Common Stock and may affect the ability of investors to sell their Common Stock in the secondary market.

Item 4.01Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

On November 12, 2012, the Board of Directors of Benaco, Inc.  (the “Company”) approved the termination of Ronald R. Chadwick, P.C. (“Chadwick”) as the Company’s independent certified public accounting firm.

 

Concurrent with this action, the Company’s Board of Directors appointed Friedman LLP (“Friedman”) as our new independent certified public accounting firm. Friedman is located at 406 Lippincott Drive, Suite J, Marlton, New Jersey 08053.

 

The Company’s financial statements for the years ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 were audited by Chadwick.   Chadwick’s reports on our  financial statements for the two most recent fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion, a disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except for the addition of an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the years ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011, the interim period ended August 31, 2012, and through the date of discontinuance of Chadwick’s engagement as the Company’s independent accountant, there were no disagreements with Chadwick on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Chadwick, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its reports on our financial statements for such periods.

The Company has provided Chadwick with a copy of this Item 4.01 of its Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the SEC and requested it to furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made above.

The Company has authorized Chadwick to respond fully to all inquiries of Friedman.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

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

 

Nature of Business

 

Homeland Safety Consultants, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) provides construction site safety services for companies located in New York. The Company provides licensed site safety manager services on major construction projects which is required by the New York City Department of Buildings. The Company also provides safety training, fire safety and emergency preparedness services that are required by the Fire Department of New York.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Homeland Safety Consultants, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Homeland Safety Training, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of the contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant estimates, assumptions and judgments are applied in the determination of our allowance for doubtful accounts and our valuation allowance based on future taxable income. Estimates have been prepared on the basis of the most current and best information available as of each balance sheet date. As such, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 for accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, other assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the immediate or short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Risk

 

The Company considers all accounts of cash and other highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less as cash or cash equivalents. At times throughout the year, the Company might maintain bank balances that may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insured limits.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, 13% of revenues were from one customer. Outstanding accounts receivable at June 30, 2012 for this customer accounted for 7% of total accounts receivable. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, there were no such concentrations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are non-interest bearing obligations due under normal trade terms. Senior management reviews accounts receivable on a monthly basis to determine if any receivables will be potentially uncollectible. Historical bad debts and current economic trends are used in evaluating the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company includes any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible, along with a general reserve, in its overall allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. Based on the information available, the Company believes its allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 is adequate.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed Assets consists of furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements which are stated at cost. Leasehold improvements are depreciated using the lesser of the life of the lease or the useful life of the asset. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the asset as follows:

  

  Method  

Estimated Useful

Life

       
Furniture and fixtures Straight-line   5-7 years
Leasehold Improvements Straight-line   5 years

 

Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $3,429 and $10,861, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue consists primarily of fees received, based on time and materials, for providing site safety managers on major construction sites and safety training, fire safety and emergency preparedness services. Revenue is recognized in the period in which the services are performed and amounts are earned, and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method described in FASB ASC 740. Deferred tax assets arise from a variety of sources, the most significant being: a) tax losses that can be carried forward to be utilized against profits in future years; b) expenses recognized in the books but disallowed in the tax return until the associated cash flow occurs; and c) valuation changes of assets which need to be tax effected for book purposes but are deductible only when the valuation change is realized.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when such differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefit which is not more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, future taxable income is estimated, considering the realization of tax loss carryforwards. Valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets can also be affected by changes to tax laws,

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Income Taxes (continued)

 

changes to statutory tax rates and future taxable income levels. In the event it was determined that the Company would not be able to realize all or a portion of our deferred tax assets in the future, we would reduce such amounts through a charge to income in the period in which that determination is made. Conversely, if we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net carrying amounts, we would decrease the recorded valuation allowance through an increase to income in the period in which that determination is made. In its evaluation of a valuation allowance the Company takes into account existing contracts and backlog, and the probability that options under these contract awards will be exercised as well as sales of existing products. The Company prepares profit projections based on the revenue and expenses forecast to determine that such revenues will produce sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets. The Company adopted FASB ASC 740-1050, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. ASC 740-10-50 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740-10 requires that the Company determine whether the benefits of its tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. The Company recognizes the impact of an uncertain income tax position taken on its income tax return at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority.

 

Despite the Company’s belief that its tax return positions are consistent with applicable tax laws, one or more positions may be challenged by taxing authorities. Settlement of any challenge can result in no change, a complete disallowance, or some partial adjustment reached through negotiations or litigation.

 

Interest and penalties related to income tax matters, if applicable, will be recognized as income tax expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not incur any expense related to interest or penalties for income tax matters, and no such amounts were accrued as of June 30 2012 and 2011.

 

Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

FASB ASC 260-10 requires the presentation of basic earnings per share ("basic EPS") and diluted earnings per share ("diluted EPS").

 

The Company’s basic income (loss) per common share is based on net income (loss) for the relevant period, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per common share is based on net income, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including common share equivalents, such as outstanding stock options and beneficial conversion of related party accounts. The computation of diluted loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of warrants, and securities as they would have an anti-dilutive effect on the earnings resulting from the Company’s net loss position in that period.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not have any common share equivalents.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred, and were $8,100 and $6,504 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Segment Reporting

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), establishes standards for the way public business enterprises report information about operating segments. ASC 280 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company has determined that based on these criteria it only operates one segment, consulting services, as all other services do not meet the minimum threshold for separate reporting of a segment.

 

Note 2 — Going Concern

 

Although the Company had a net income of $1,635 and positive cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $135,000 as of June 30, 2012. In addition, at June 30, 2012, the Company has a cash balance of approximately $10,000 and a working capital deficiency of approximately $155,000. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company needs additional capital to fund current working capital requirements, ongoing debt service and to repay its obligations that are maturing over the upcoming twelve month period. Management plans to increase revenues and to control operating expenses in order to reduce losses from operations. Additionally, the Company plans to seek equity and/or debt financing in order to enable the Company to meet its financial obligations.

Note 7 – Income Taxes

 

The tax effect of temporary differences, primarily net operating loss carryforwards, give rise to a deferred tax asset. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequence of such temporary differences at the enacted tax rate expected to be in effect when the differences reverse. The full realization of the tax benefit associated with the carry forward depends predominantly upon the Company's ability to generate taxable income during the carry forward period.

 

The components of the Company’s deferred taxes at June 30, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

  

   June 30, 
   2012   2011 
Net Operating Loss Carry Forwards  $7,205   $127,204 
Temporary differences – depreciation   14,521    11,018 
           
Deferred Tax Asset, net  $21,726   $138,222 

 

The reconciliation between the income tax provision and the amount computed by applying the statutory federal tax rate to income from continuing operation is as follows:

 

   June 30, 
   2012   2011 
US Statutory tax rate   34.0%   34.0%
State and City tax rate   10.0    10.0 
Permanent differences   27.0    - 
Effective Tax Rate   71.0%   44.0%

 

At June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards in the approximate amounts of $16,182 and $285,678, respectively, available to offset future taxable income.

 

Note 8 - Operating Leases

 

The Company leases its office space in New York, NY under a lease agreement expiring August 31, 2015, with two five year options to extend the term. In addition, the Company leases additional office space for $2,000 per month and on a month-to-month basis.

 

The Company leases certain office equipment under a lease agreement expiring December 31, 2015.

 

Rent expense related to the leases for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $101,697 and $62,819. Minimum annual lease commitments are as follows:

 

June 30,  Total   Office Space   Office Equipment 
             
2013  $100,407   $86,775   $13,632

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Management and Stockholders of

Homeland Safety Consulting, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Homeland Safety Consulting, Inc.

and its subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows in the two-year period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

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

 

Nature of Business

 

Homeland Safety Consultants, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) provides construction site safety services for companies located in New York. The Company provides licensed site safety manager services on major construction projects which is required by the New York City Department of Buildings. The Company also provides safety training, fire safety and emergency preparedness services that are required by the Fire Department of New York.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Homeland Safety Consultants, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Homeland Safety Training, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of the contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant estimates, assumptions and judgments are applied in the determination of our allowance for doubtful accounts and our valuation allowance based on future taxable income. Estimates have been prepared on the basis of the most current and best information available as of each balance sheet date. As such, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 for accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, other assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the immediate or short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Risk

 

The Company considers all accounts of cash and other highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less as cash or cash equivalents. At times throughout the year, the Company might maintain bank balances that may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insured limits.

 

In 2010, 29% of sales were from three customers. Outstanding accounts receivable at December 31, 2010 for these customers accounted for 36% of total accounts receivable (approximately $182,650). In 2011, there were no such concentrations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are non-interest bearing obligations due under normal trade terms. Senior management reviews accounts receivable on a monthly basis to determine if any receivables will be potentially uncollectible. Historical bad debts and current economic trends are used in evaluating the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company includes any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible, along with a general reserve, in its overall allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. Based on the information available, the Company believes its allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 is adequate.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed Assets consists of furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements which are stated at cost. Leasehold improvements are depreciated using the lesser of the life of the lease or the useful life of the asset. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the asset as follows:

 

  Method  

Estimated Useful

Life

       
Furniture and fixtures Straight-line   5-7 years
Leasehold Improvements Straight-line   5 years

 

Depreciation and amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $20,391 and $9,877, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue consists primarily of fees received, based on time and materials, for providing site safety managers on major construction sites and safety training, fire safety and emergency preparedness services. Revenue is recognized in the period in which the services are performed and amounts are earned, and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method described in FASB ASC 740. Deferred tax assets arise from a variety of sources, the most significant being: a) tax losses that can be carried forward to be utilized against profits in future years; b) expenses recognized in the books but disallowed in the tax return until the associated cash flow occurs; and c) valuation changes of assets which need to be tax effected for book purposes but are deductible only when the valuation change is realized.

Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Income Taxes (continued)

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when such differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefit which is not more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, future taxable income is estimated, considering the realization of tax loss carryforwards. Valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets can also be affected by changes to tax laws, changes to statutory tax rates and future taxable income levels. In the event it was determined that the Company would not be able to realize all or a portion of our deferred tax assets in the future, we would reduce such amounts through a charge to income in the period in which that determination is made. Conversely, if we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net carrying amounts, we would decrease the recorded valuation allowance through an increase to income in the period in which that determination is made. In its evaluation of a valuation allowance the Company takes into account existing contracts and backlog, and the probability that options under these contract awards will be exercised as well as sales of existing products. The Company prepares profit projections based on the revenue and expenses forecast to determine that such revenues will produce sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets. The Company adopted FASB ASC 740-1050, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. ASC 740-10-50 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740-10 requires that the Company determine whether the benefits of its tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. The Company recognizes the impact of an uncertain income tax position taken on its income tax return at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority.

 

Despite the Company’s belief that its tax return positions are consistent with applicable tax laws, one or more positions may be challenged by taxing authorities. Settlement of any challenge can result in no change, a complete disallowance, or some partial adjustment reached through negotiations or litigation.

 

Interest and penalties related to income tax matters, if applicable, will be recognized as income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 the Company did not incur any expense related to interest or penalties for income tax matters, and no such amounts were accrued as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.

 

Earnings (Loss) per Share

 

FASB ASC 260-10 requires the presentation of basic earnings per share ("basic EPS") and diluted earnings per share ("diluted EPS").

 

The Company’s basic income (loss) per common share is based on net income (loss) for the relevant period, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per common share is based on net income, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including common share equivalents, such as outstanding stock options and beneficial conversion of related party accounts. The computation of diluted loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2011 does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of warrants, and securities as they would have an anti-dilutive effect on the earnings resulting from the Company’s net loss position in that period.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not have any common share equivalents.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred, and were $15,031 and $13,835 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Segment Reporting

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”), establishes standards for the way public business enterprises report information about operating segments. ASC 280 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company has determined that based on these criteria it only operates one segment, consulting services, as all other services do not meet the minimum threshold for separate reporting of a segment.

Note 6 – Income Taxes

 

The tax effect of temporary differences, primarily net operating loss carryforwards, give rise to a deferred tax asset. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequence of such temporary differences at the enacted tax rate expected to be in effect when the differences reverse. The full realization of the tax benefit associated with the carry forward depends predominantly upon the Company's ability to generate taxable income during the carry forward period.

 

The components of the Company’s deferred taxes at December 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

 

   2011   2010 
Net Operating Loss Carry Forwards  $11,647   $97,272 
Temporary differences – depreciation   14,149    7,380 
           
Deferred Tax Asset, net  $25,796   $104,652 

 

The reconciliation between the income tax provision and the amount computed by applying the statutory federal tax rate to income from continuing operation is as follows:

 

   2011   2010 
US Statutory tax rate   34.0%   34.0%
State and City tax rate   10.0    10.0 
Permanent differences   1.0    (3.0)
Effective Tax Rate   45.0%   41.0%

 

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards in the approximate amounts of $26,157 and $218,456, respectively, available to offset future taxable income.

 

Note 7 - Operating Leases

 

The Company leases its office space in New York, NY under a lease agreement expiring August 31, 2015, with two five year options to extend the term. In addition, the Company leases additional office space for $2,000 per month and on a month-to-month basis.

 

The Company leases certain office equipment under a lease agreement expiring December 31, 2015.

 

Rent expense related to the leases for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $138,715 and $29,800. Minimum annual lease commitments are as follows:
