NOVUS ROBOTICS INC.
Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2012

 
1.
Basis of Presentation and Continuance
 
Novus Robotics Inc. (“Novus” or “the Company”) , formerly known as Ecoland International Inc. (“Ecoland”), a Nevada corporation, was incorporated on June 24, 2005 under the name Guano Distributors, Inc. for the purpose of selling Dry-Bar Cave bat guano.  On June 28, 2006, the articles of incorporation were amended to change its name to Ecoland.   On March 13, 2012, the articles of incorporation were amended to change the Company’s name to Novus.

Pursuant to a share exchange agreement dated January 27, 2012 between Novus and D&R Technologies Inc. (“D&R”), D&R incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario on June 16, 2004, the Company issued 59,000,000 common shares to the shareholders of D&R in exchange for 100% of their issued and outstanding common shares thereby making D&R its wholly-owned subsidiary.  The acquisition has been treated as a recapitalization of Novus with D&R as the accounting acquirer in accordance with the Reverse Merger rules.

D&R`s principle business activity is the engineering, design and the manufacturing of automated tube processing solutions for the automotive industry.

2.
Reverse Merger Transaction
 
Pursuant to the terms of an acquisition agreement between Ecoland and D&R dated January 27, 2012, the Company completed a reverse merger and recapitalization with D&R such that D&R became a wholly owned subsidiary of Novus and the shareholders of D&R acquired a majority of the common shares of Novus.  D&R, the legal subsidiary, is considered to have acquired the assets and liabilities of Ecoland (now Novus), the legal parent.  Immediate prior to the completion of the transaction, Ecoland had 88,650,000 common shares issued and outstanding.

Based on the balance sheet of Ecoland prepared in connection with the transaction, the net assets acquired by D&R were as follows:

      $  
Cash
    2,849  
Working capital deficiency
    (123,539
      (120,691

As a consequence of the transaction, the Company received cash of $2,849, a related party receivable of $6,254, other assets of $206 and assumed liabilities of $130,000.

For accounting purposes, the acquisition has been treated as a reverse merger and recapitalization of D&R with D&R as the acquirer, in essence, a recapitalization of Novus Robotics Inc. (fka Ecoland International, Inc.).  As such, the historical deficit of Ecoland, $1,053,361, was eliminated along with its additional paid in capital account by charging these amounts to retained earnings.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
These interim consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are expressed in US dollars.  D&R’s functional currency is the Canadian Dollar.  They do not include all of the information and note disclosures required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2011included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of results in accordance with US GAAP have been included and properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of Novus and its wholly owned subsidiaries D&R Technologies Inc and D&R Tools Inc. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

Uses of Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Financial statement items subject to significant judgment include expense accruals, as well as income taxes and loss contingencies.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
The areas which require management to make significant judgments, estimates and assumptions in determining carrying values include, but are not limited to:

Assets’ carrying values and impairment charges 

Assets, including property and equipment and inventory, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount exceed their recoverable amounts.  In the determination of carrying values and impairment charges, management looks at the higher of recoverable amount or fair value less costs to sell in the case of assets and at objective evidence, significant or prolonged decline of fair value on financial assets indicating impairment. These determinations and their individual assumptions require that management make a decision based on the best available information at each reporting period.

Income taxes and recoverability of potential deferred tax assets 
 
In assessing the probability of realizing income tax assets recognized, management makes estimates related to expectations of future taxable income, applicable tax planning opportunities, expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences and the likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities. In making its assessments, management gives additional weight to positive and negative evidence that can be objectively verified. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. The Company considers whether relevant tax planning opportunities are within the Company’s control, are feasible, and are within management’s ability to implement. Examination by applicable tax authorities is supported based on individual facts and circumstances of the relevant tax position examined in light of all available evidence. Where applicable tax laws and regulations are either unclear or subject to ongoing varying interpretations, it is reasonably possible that changes in these estimates can occur that materially affect the amounts of income tax assets recognized. Also, future changes in tax laws could limit the Company from realizing the tax benefits from the deferred tax assets. The Company reassesses unrecognized income tax assets at each reporting period.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
 
Long-lived Assets
 
In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ASC 360-10, "Property, Plant and Equipment" the carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is 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.

Regulatory Matters

The Company is subject to a variety of federal, provincial and state regulations governing land use, health, safety and environmental matters.  The Company’s management believes it has been in substantial compliance with all such regulations.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.  At September 30, 2012, the Company had no cash equivalents.  The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which may exceed federally insured limits.  As of September 30, 2012, the Company’s accounts are insured for $100,000 CDN by Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation for Canadian bank deposits and are for $20,000 by FDIC for US bank deposits.  The Company holds $1,012,532 CDN in one of its Canadian bank accounts, which is $912,532 in excess of the federally insured amount.

Inventory

Inventory, comprised principally of raw materials, is stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. This policy requires D&R to make estimates regarding the market value of our inventory, including an assessment of excess or obsolete inventory. The Company determines excess and obsolete inventory based on an estimate of the future demand and estimated selling prices for its products.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost.  Depreciation is recorded on a straight line basis reflective of the useful lives of the assets.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred, while additions and betterments are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed, the asset’s original cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in income.

Foreign Currency Translation

Gains and losses arising upon settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.  The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar.  Transactions in foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with the ASC 830-30 as follows:

i. monetary items at the rate prevailing at the balance sheet date;
ii. non-monetary items at the historical exchange rate;
iii. revenue and expenses at the average rate in effect during the applicable accounting period.

Translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Financial Instruments
 
The carrying values of the Company’s financial instruments, which comprise cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll liabilities, note payable, taxes payable and due to officers/shareholders, approximate their fair values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these instruments.  Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

Fair Value Measurements

The authoritative guidance for fair value establishes a three tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

Income Taxes
 
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not.   The Company has adopted ASC 740, "Accounting for Income Taxes," as of its inception.  Pursuant to ASC 740, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward.  The potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will be able to utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.

Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.  No advertising costs have been incurred by the Company to date

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101,"Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101") as modified by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No.104. Under SAB 101, revenue is recognized when the project is complete, and when collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

1.  
Spare parts – Revenues and expenses are recognized at the time of sale.
2.  
Service – Revenues and expenses are recognized at the time services are performed and accepted by customer via sign off.
3.  
Seat systems and tooling – progress invoicing to the customer are recorded as deferred revenue.  When the projects are installed and accepted by the customer the final invoice is issued and all deferred revenue is recognized along with the related work in process costs for the project.  Systems generally take 20-28 weeks to design, manufacture, assemble, and then ship to our various customers.

D&R provides standard warranties for its product from the date of shipment. Estimated warranty obligations are recorded at the time of sale

Earnings per Common Share

Net income per share is provided in accordance with ASC 260-10, “Earnings per Share”.  Basic EPS is computed by dividing reported net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Except where the result would be anti-dilutive to income from continuing operations, diluted earnings per share would be computed assuming the conversion of the convertible long-term debt and the elimination of the related interest expense, and the exercise of stock warrants.  Income per common share has been computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.  For the period ended September 30, 2012, the Company does not have equity instruments outstanding which would determine diluted income per share.

Comprehensive Income

The Company has adopted ASC 220, "Comprehensive Income," which establishes standards for reporting and the display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances.  Comprehensive income (loss) is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners or distributions to owners.  Among other disclosures, ASC 220 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under the current accounting standards as a component of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.  Comprehensive income (loss) is displayed in the statement of shareholders' equity and in the balance sheet as a component of shareholders' equity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

We were formed in the State of Nevada on June 24, 2005 under the name Guano Distributors, Inc. Prior to our incorporation, on April 15, 2005, David Wallace, our then-chief executive officer, chief financial officer and sole director, formed Guano Distributors (Pty) Ltd., a South African registered company, for the purpose of selling Dry-Bar Cave bat guano. On May 15, 2005, Mr. Wallace transferred all of his ownership interest in Guano Distributors (Pty) Ltd. to us. On June 28, 2006, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change our name to Ecoland International, Inc.

Share Exchange Agreement

We entered into that certain share exchange agreement dated January 27, 2012 (the "Share Exchange Agreement") with D&R Technology Inc., a private corporation (“D&R Technology”) and, Beradino Paolucci and Drakso Karanovic, the shareholders of D&R Technology Inc. (the “D&R Shareholders”). Our Board of Directors approved the execution and consummation of the transaction under the Share Exchange Agreement on February 1, 2012.  In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Share Exchange Agreement, we issued an aggregate of 59,000,000 shares of its restricted common stock to the D&R Shareholders in exchange for 100% of the total issued and outstanding shares of D&R Technology, thus making D&R Technology our wholly-owned subsidiary. Our Board of Directors deemed it in the best interests of our shareholders to enter into the Share Exchange Agreement pursuant to which it would acquire all the technology and assets and assume all liabilities of D&R Technology. This resulted in a change in control and our overall business operations thus bringing potential value to our shareholders.

In accordance with further terms and provisions of the Share Exchange Agreement, that certain employment agreement dated June 1, 2009 (the “Employment Agreement”) between us and David Wallace (“Wallace”) was terminated and Wallace waived any and all rights or claims to compensation due and owing under the terms of the Employment Agreement, including any liquidated damages due and owing Wallace under any currently existing severance pay plan for employees and any payments of benefits under any existing benefit coverages in which Wallace was participating in accordance with the terms of such benefit coverages (as that term is defined in the Employment Agreement).

Stock Purchase Agreement

We previously announced that certain of our controlling shareholders, who were Capitalsense Ltd., Altimo Ltd., Cimarron Capital Ltd. and David Wallace (the “Controlling Shareholders”), and D&R Technology entered into a stock purchase agreement dated November 7, 2011 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”). In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Controlling Shareholders were to transfer an aggregate of 59,000,000 shares of our restricted common stock held of record by the Controlling Shareholders to D&R Technology.

Termination Agreement

Subsequently, it was determined that the structure and transaction represented by the Stock Purchase Agreement did not reflect the intent and strategic goals of the parties. Therefore, the Controlling Shareholders and D&R Technology entered into that certain termination agreement dated January 27, 2012 (the “Termination Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties rescinded the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Controlling Shareholders returned to the Corporation their respective share certificates evidencing the aggregate 59,000,000 shares of common stock of the Corporation. The respective share certificates received from the Controlling Shareholders were cancelled and the 59,000,000 shares of common stock were returned to treasury.  Thus, neither D&R Technology nor the Controlling Shareholders no longer retained the general respective rights attributable to our shareholders. The Controlling Shareholders returned their respective shares to us with the understanding that the shares were to be cancelled and returned to treasury as a condition precedent to consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement whereby 59,000,000 shares of our common stock were going to be issued in exchange for the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock of D&R Technology.
 
Certificate of Amendment

On March 13, 2012, we filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State in order to change our name from “Ecoland International Inc.” to “Novus Robotics Inc.” (the “Name Change”). The Name Change was effective with the Nevada Secretary of State on March 13, 2012, when the Certificate of Amendment was filed. The Name Change was approved by our Board of Directors pursuant to written consent resolutions dated February 21, 2012 and further approved by certain shareholders holding a majority of our total issued and outstanding shares of common stock pursuant to written consent resolutions dated February 21, 2012.

We filed the appropriate documentation with FINRA in order to effectuate the Name Change in the OTC Markets. The Name Change was effected on the OTC Markets on April 10, 2012. Our new cusip number is 67011H108.  The list of officers will be updated with the correct list on or before September 30, 2012.

Therefore, as of the date of this Quarterly Report, our trading symbol is “NRBT”. Our management deemed it appropriate to change our name to Novus Robotics Inc. in furtherance of and to better reflect the nature of our new business operations.

Please note that throughout this Quarterly Report, and unless otherwise noted, the words "we," "our," "us," the "Company," or "Novus Robotics," refers to Novus Robotics Inc.

Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2011

Our comprehensive income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 was $224,077 compared to comprehensive income of $543,275 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 (a decrease of $319,198).

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, we generated revenue in the amount of $2,942,306 compared to revenue generated during the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 of $3,477,643 (a decrease of $535,337).  During the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, cost of goods sold was $1,292,346 compared with $1,746,887 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2011. This resulted in gross profit of $1,646,960 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 compared with a gross profit of $1,730,756 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in revenues during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 compared with 2011 related to decreased sales to consumers of our special purpose machinery products and services due to management’s focus on the acquisition of our wholly-owned subsidiary. The decrease in cost of sales was due to the decrease in sales.
  
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, we incurred operating expenses of $1,268,140 compared to $1,187,481 incurred during the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 (an increase of $80,659). The operating expenses incurred during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 consisted of: (i) compensation of $984,228 (2011: $891,752); (ii) occupancy costs of $63,999 (2011: $65,174); (iii) maintenance and repairs of $-0- (2011: $9,122); (iv) travel of $73,734 (2011: $100,082); (v) professional fees of $75,930 (2011: $39,757); (vi) communication of $18,281 (2011: $22,815); (vii) office and general of $47,135 (2011: $58,779); and (viii) foreign exchange benefit of $4,833 (2011: $-0-). During the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, we also recorded income tax expense of $126,115 (2011: $-0-). The increase in the incurrence of operating expenses during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 reflects the greater expenses incurred as a result of compensation to employees and audit and accounting-related expenses during the period. Operating expenses include overhead expenses such as rent, management and staff salaries, general insurance, marketing, accounting, legal and offices expenses.

The decrease in net income during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 from the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 resulted primarily from the decrease in total revenue generated.   

Due to transactions denominated and settled in foreign currency, we generated a gain on foreign translation of 31,628 (2011: $-0-) during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012.

Three Month Period Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to Three Month Period Ended September 30, 2011

Our comprehensive loss for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 was $109,278 compared to comprehensive income of $266,783 during the three month period ended September 30, 2011 (a decrease of $376,061).

During the three month period ended September 30, 2012, we generated revenue in the amount of $590,502 compared to revenue generated during the three month period ended September 30, 2011 of $711,739 (a decrease of $121,237).  During the three month period ended September 30, 2012, cost of goods sold was $166,206 compared with $146,426 during the three month period ended September 30, 2011. This resulted in gross profit of $424,296 during the three month period ended September 30, 2012 compared with a gross profit of $565,313 during the three month period ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in revenues during the three month period ended September 30, 2012 compared with 2011 related to decreased sales to consumers of our special purpose machinery products and services due to management’s focus on the acquisition of our wholly-owned subsidiary.

During the three month period ended September 30, 2012, we incurred operating expenses of $433,563 compared to $298,530 incurred during the three month period ended September 30, 2011 (an increase of $135,033). The operating expenses incurred during the three month period ended September 30, 2012 consisted of: (i) compensation of $336,091 (2011: $214,895); (ii) occupancy costs of $21,425 (2011: $21,275); (iii) maintenance and repairs of $-0- (2011: $559); (iv) travel of $32,389 (2011: $36,893); (v) professional fees of $17,037 (2011: $6,739); (vi) communication of $8,157 (2011: $5,983); (vii) office and general of $13,218 (2011: $12,186); and (viii) foreign exchange gain of $5,246 (2011: $-0-). During the three month period ended September 30, 2012, we also recorded an  income tax expense of $75,114 (2011: $-0-). The increase in the incurrence of operating expenses during the three month period ended September 30, 2012 reflects the greater expenses incurred as a result of increased compensation and audit and accounting-related expenses.

The decrease in net income during the three month period ended September 30, 2012 from the net income during the three month period ended September 30, 2011 resulted primarily from the decrease in total revenue generated.   

Due to transactions denominated and settled in foreign currency, we generated a loss on foreign translation of $24,897 (2011: $-0-) during the three month period ended September 30, 2012.

The change in gross profit margin at quarter ended March 31, 2012, quarter ended June 30, 2012 and quarter ended September 30, 2012 resulted from the difference in costs. During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, we realized revenue of approximately $1,624,000 with no costs, which would have resulted in a higher gross margin. During quarter ended June 30, 2012, we realized revenue of approximately $727,000, however, we had higher costs. During quarter ended September 30, 2012, we realized revenue of approximately $591,000 and we had lower costs. These costs related to performance of services related to use of aluminum, which required certain research and development since it was our first time using aluminum. Therefore, we did not realize the usual profit and thus explains the difference in gross margin between the first, second and third quarters of fiscal year 2012.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September 30, 2012

As of September 30, 2012, our current assets were $1,625,923 and our current liabilities were $915,337, which resulted in a working capital surplus of $710,586.

As of September 30, 2012, our total liabilities were $915,377 comprised entirely of current liabilities. The decrease in liabilities during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to decreases in accounts payable, deferred revenue.

PLAN OF OPERATION AND FUNDING

Our principal demands for liquidity are to increase capacity, inventory purchase, sales distribution, and general corporate purposes. We intend to meet our liquidity requirements, including capital expenditures related to the purchase of equipment, purchase of inventory, and the expansion of our business, through cash flow provided by operations and funds raised through proceeds from the issuance of debt or equity.

Existing working capital, further advances and debt instruments, and anticipated cash flow are expected to be adequate to fund our operations over the next six months. We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. We may finance expenses with further issuances of securities and debt issuances. Any additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not required for smaller reporting company.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
We have performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our management, including our CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2012 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
 
 
19

 

Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarerly Report on Form 10-Q, our interal controls over financial reporting were not effective:

·
to give reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and

·
to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We believe that the foregoing steps will remediate the significant deficiencies identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate. A material weakness (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 5) is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the company's financial reporting.

During our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2012, management identified significant deficiencies related to: (i) the absence of an Audit Committee as of September  30, 2012; and (ii) a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions.

We began preparing to be in compliance with the internal control obligations, including Section 404, for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2012. In an effort to improve our internal control environment, management has engaged a Chartered Accountant to review the work prepared by the controller. He is independent of the daily accounting function. He prepares the quarterly financial statement after reviewing and recommending adjustments to the records based on his analysis of the financial information presented. This review includes vouching and reconciling key accounts to source documents.

In order to correct the foregoing weaknesses, we have taken certain further remediation measures and designed new internal controls and procedures to ensure: (a) effectiveness and efficiency of operations; (b) reliability of financial reporting; and (c) compliance with laws and regulations. To that end, management will provide a controlled environment which organizes and influences its people.
 
(a)
Management is establishing an information and communication system for its executives and employees allowing them to carry out their responsibilities in an organized and process driven manner.
  
(a)
The firm engaged the Chartered Accountant to assist with: (a) compiling and maintaining our financial records; (b) assisting the bookkeeping staff with proper recording of transactions; (c) maintaining permanent accounting records and proper backup procedures; and (d) providing continuous monitoring of accounting functions throughout the company. In addition, the Chartered Accountant will perform a risk assessment which identifies and analyzes the relevant risks management should address in order to achievement of its objectives. The Chartered Accountant will also assist with the preparation of written policies and procedures that will help ensure management directives are carried out.

(b)
Our President/Chief Executive Officer is serving as the point of communication between us and the audit firm. Communication between our President/Chief Executive Officer and the audit firm’s engagement partner has been established to ensure that the audit is aware of management’s intent and actions.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the chief executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2012. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

This Quarterly Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

We believe that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and our CEO and our CFO have concluded that these controls and procedures are not effective at the “reasonable assurance” level.
 
Changes in internal controls

There were no changes in internal controls for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

Our Board of Directors has not established an audit committee. The respective role of an audit committee has been conducted by our Board of Directors. We intend to establish an audit committee during fiscal year 2012. When established, the audit committee's primary function will be to provide advice with respect to our financial matters and to assist our Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities regarding finance, accounting, and legal compliance. The audit committee's primary duties and responsibilities will be to: (i) serve as an independent and objective party to monitor our financial reporting process and internal control system; (ii) review and appraise the audit efforts of our independent accountants; (iii) evaluate our quarterly financial performance as well as its compliance with laws and regulations; (iv) oversee management's establishment and enforcement of financial policies and business practices; and (v) provide an open avenue of communication among the independent accountants, management and our Board of Directors.

Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding as of the date of this Current Report. As of the date of this Current Report, there are 88,650,000 shares issued and outstanding.
