ITEM 1.        BUSINESS.

 

Overview

 

We are a company with a 10% interest in Gecko Landmarks Ltd., a Finnish company, and an option to acquire a further interest in Gecko Landmarks Ltd., which option has been extended to January 31, 2013 by mutual consent of the parties.

 

Gecko Landmarks Ltd. is an early stage technology company dedicated to developing and monetizing global landmark data using high accuracy data developed from their own proprietary system, “AtLAS”.

 

Corporate Background

 

First Corporation is a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Colorado on December 27, 1995. Our principal executive offices are located in England. Our original business was the exploration of mineral claims. However, on May 18, 2008, our board of directors voted unanimously to discontinue exploration of our mineral claims due to the difficulty in securing adequate financing. We have since pursued other opportunities.

  

On July 8, 2009, we entered into a Letter of Intent to acquire shares of Acquma Holdings Limited, an affiliate of Finnish company, Tramigo Oy, but the acquisition of the shares was never completed.  We then entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, dated as of October 16, 2009, pursuant to which First Corporation was to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Acquma from Acquma’s shareholders in exchange for a controlling interest in First Corporation’s common stock.   The agreement expired by its own terms, and management began to explore other possibilities.

 

Gecko Landmarks Ltd. Share Acquisition

 

We entered into a Letter of Intent, effective May 25, 2011, with Gecko Landmarks Ltd., also a Finnish company and an affiliate of Tramigo Oy. This Letter of Intent provided for First Corporation to purchase an initial 10% stake in Gecko subject to completion of due diligence, required shareholder approval and regulatory compliance, all in accordance with a definitive agreement. 

 

Effective April 12, 2012, First Corporation entered into a Securities Subscription and Option Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with Gecko Landmarks Ltd. for the acquisition by First Corporation of an initial 10% stake in Gecko Landmarks Ltd. along with an option to purchase an additional 23% interest within six months of the closing of the purchase of the initial 10% interest. The Subscription Agreement was approved by Written Consent of our sole director, dated March 27, 2012, and thereafter by the Written Consent of the Holders of a Majority of the Issued and Outstanding Common Stock of First Corporation. We notified First Corporation’s other shareholders of this action pursuant to Regulation 14C under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and on June 4, 2012, we closed on the purchase of the 10% equity interest.

Under the terms of the Subscription Agreement, First Corporation purchased its 10% equity interest in Gecko Landmarks for a purchase price of $1,000,000. The purchase price also included the option to purchase an additional 23% interest in Gecko Landmarks for an exercise price of $3,450,000, exercisable within six months from closing. The directors have authority to approve the exercise of this option without further stockholder approval. As of December 1, 2012, the parties agreed to extend the date for exercise of the option to December 15, 2012 which was confirmed by letter from Gecko to First Corporation. This option has subsequently been extended to January 31, 2013 by mutual consent of the parties.

 

In connection with the closing, First Corporation also entered into a shareholders’ agreement with the other Gecko Landmarks shareholders which provides for the rights of the respective parties as shareholders of Gecko Landmarks.

 

Funding for the purchase price was provided by an investor who purchased from First Corporation 8% Promissory Notes in the aggregate original principal amount of $1,000,000. See discussion under Liquidity and Capital Resources.

 

Business of Gecko Landmarks Limited

 

Gecko Landmarks is a limited liability company, formed under the laws of Finland in 2009, which offers geotechnical services and solutions for the professional market and GPS/GSM manufacturers. Specifically, Gecko Landmarks Ltd. is an early stage technology company dedicated to developing and monetising global landmark data using high accuracy data developed from their own proprietary system, “AtLAS”

 

Gecko Landmarks’ concept is based on the use of landmarks in GPS devices. Landmarks are a more feasible, useful, understood and economical way of providing geographical data to GPS devices, especially mobile phones. The feature that landmarks add to the GPS-chip is human readable textual location information. Plain coordinates have little meaning without a map or other additional functionality. However with landmarks, applications can communicate location in an easy-to-understand way. Gecko Landmarks' mission is to enable industry-wide use of landmarks in any GPS-enabled device and to improve device manufacturers’ possibilities to reach new markets that require a radically new approach to geographical data.

 

Gecko Landmarks was founded by the owners of Tramigo Oy, also a company based in Finland and operating in the GPS industry, with the intention to innovate new markets and use-cases for landmark technology, building on the combined experience and broad knowledge of its management in the location business. The successful business of Tramigo, especially in the emerging markets, is already based on innovative use of the landmark concept.

 

Realizing that landmarks can provide a universal solution to improve usability of GPS enabled devices and allow expanding to new markets, the owners wanted to focus on analyzing and trying out new business ideas based solely on landmarks.

 

Recently, as processing power and memory capacity of GPS chipsets have increased, a totally new innovation for the GPS industry, with potential to change the foundations of the whole industry, has become possible: Landmarks can now be built-in to the GPS chip, the core that every location aware device builds on, enabling all of them to use this new location information in addition to the standard coordinates.

 

After two years of product development and building its business, funded solely by the founders, Gecko Landmarks has reached the point where:

 

Corporate functions and administrative procedures are established
Initial partnership contracts and agreements have been signed
Overall strategy and operational procedures are completed and fine tuned
Key innovations and products have been completed for test clients in global use
Global landmark data is in successful full-scale commercial use (in Tramigo GSM/GPS tracking devices)

Gecko Landmarks has three operating facilities as follows:

 

1. Company headquarters in Helsinki, Finland, handling administration, bookkeeping and legal issues.

 

2. Office in Turku, Finland, for research, development, and product testing. If necessary, this unit can be relocated closer to GPS chipset manufacturers depending on the R&D requirements.

 

3. Landmark mass-production office in Manila, Philippines. The operations have been outsourced to a local company Geckram Inc. that provides the facilities, infrastructure, and staff. This office is in a country with low-cost labor, as the data production is labor-intensive.

 

This enables cost-efficient and fast scaling of the operations based on demand. Gecko Landmarks takes care of operational management of the production, and also trains the staff and maintains required resources and knowledge for global landmark production and updating.

 

Gecko Landmarks has signed the following co-operation agreements:

 

Co-operation agreement with Tramigo

 

Tramigo devices are based on the landmarks concept, TLD landmark data
Tramigo's success especially in the emerging markets is based on comprehensive and accurate landmark data

None of the other tracking device manufacturers have been able to generate matching technological and economical success, because there are no other high-quality landmark databases suitable for this use case

Gecko Landmarks updates and maintains TLD data of Tramigo
Gecko’s landmark updating and maintaining tools such as AtLAS provide best possible quality and value for Tramigo’s TLD landmarks

 

Landmark Data Services Agreement with UAB Aktyvus sektorius (Eskimi)

 

• Eskimi has 5 million registered dating service users and is growing 30,000 new users per day. Eskimi’s most important markets are Nigeria, Indonesia, Vietnam, Kenya and South Africa. Gecko Landmarks approached Eskimi late January 2012 and is about the conclude revenue share agreement with the first mobile Internet customer. The agreement includes joint go-to-market approach towards operators.

 

Co-operation Agreement with Cherry Mobile

 

• Cherry Mobile provides several million handsets per annum mainly to the Philippines. Gecko Landmarks expects to conclude its agreement to preinstall Gecko SMS as the primary text message editor with location to Cherry Mobile’s Android phones.

 

Consulting Agreement

 

On April 5, 2011, First Corporation entered into a consultancy arrangement with Thomas J. Wikstrom of Luxembourg pursuant to a letter agreement, a copy of which was attached as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 11, 2011. Neither party had commenced performance under the arrangement as of August 8, 2012 on which date First Corporation received a letter from Mr. Wikstrom confirming his acceptance to an updated and amended consultancy agreement, effective as of August 1, 2012 which is terminable by either party on six months’ notice. The agreement calls for Mr. Wikstrom to serve as First Corporation’s representative on Gecko Landmarks Ltd.’s board of directors to provide feedback and recommendations regarding further investment and development initiatives as required by First Corporation from time to time. For his services, Mr. Wikstrom is to receive an annual cash payment of US$50,000 and a number of shares to be determined at a future date.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements contained in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other sections of this Annual Report constitute "forward-looking statements". These statements, identified by words such as “plan”, "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "should", "expect" and similar expressions include our expectations and objectives regarding our future financial position, operating results and business strategy. These statements reflect the current views of management with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements. We advise you to carefully review the reports and documents we file from time to time with the SEC, particularly our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K.

 

Overview

 

We are a company with a 10% interest in Gecko Landmarks Ltd., a Finnish company, as well as an option to acquire a further interest in Gecko Landmarks Ltd., which option has been extended to January 31, 2013 by mutual consent of the parties.

 

In October 2012, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized stock from one hundred million shares, par value $.001 per share, to 1,000,000,000 shares, par value $.001 per share. The board also approved a 10-for-1 split of the issued and outstanding shares which took effect on October 2012 and effectively increased the issued and outstanding common shares from 26,385,250 to 263,852,500. All references in the audited financial statement and notes thereto have been retroactively restated to reflect the October 2012 stock split.

 

Results of Operations

 

For the period from inception on December 27, 1995 to September 30, 2012 we have had no revenues.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

For the year ended September 30, 2012, we had general and administrative expenses of approximately $152,000 compared with approximately $315,000 for the year ended September 30, 2011. The decreased resulted from the payment in the 2011 fiscal year of professional, consulting and due diligence fees in connection with our purchase of 10% of Gecko Landmarks Ltd. and the related option. Other expenses in both years consisted primarily of legal and accounting fees in connection with our quarterly and annual reports and shareholder approval and related SEC filings in connection with the Gecko transaction.

Interest Expense

 

For the year ended September 30, 2012, we had interest expenses of approximately $229,000 compared with approximately $94,000 for the year ended September 30, 2011. The increased resulted from the increase in convertible notes payable borrowings and amortization of debt discount.

 

Loss from Extinguishment of Debt

 

During the year ended September 30, 2011, the company recorded a loss of approximately $417,000 due to the settlement of debt. There was no comparable event in the year ending September 30, 2012.

 

Net Loss

 

We incurred a net loss of approximately $381,000 for the year ended September 30, 2012, compared with a net loss of approximately $826,000 for the year ended September 30, 2011. Our loss in both years was partly attributable to operating expenses consisting of professional fees paid in connection with preparing and filing our reports in compliance with SEC filing requirements. As noted under General and administrative expenses, during the 2012 period, we also incurred significant professional, consulting and due diligence fees and expenses in connection with the Gecko acquisition.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2012, we had a deficit in working capital of $1,340,183 as reflected in the table below. We will require additional funding to exercise our option to purchase an additional interest in Gecko Landmarks Ltd. and for any future operations. We cannot be certain that such funding will be available.

Outstanding Convertible Notes

 

As of September 30, 2012, First Corporation was indebted to the holders of its 8% Convertible Notes in the aggregate principle amount of approximately $1,400,000 plus accrued interest, without giving account to the discount reflected in our financial statement for the notes’ beneficial conversion feature.

 

In April of 2011, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor to sell unsecured 8% Convertible Notes in the aggregate original principal amount of up to $2,000,000 with an initial investment of $250,000. In March of 2012, we issued an additional 8% Convertible Note for $100,000 to the investor under this agreement. The investor also agreed to extend the maturity date on the initial note for $250,000 to April 26, 2013, adding approximately $23,640 in accrued interest and an outstanding shareholder loan in the amount of $40,120 to the principle thereon for a total principal amount of $313,760. The Company may require additional note purchases under this agreement.

In June of 2012, we entered into another Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor to sell secured 8% Convertible Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000. The proceeds were used to fund the acquisition of a 10% equity interest in Gecko Landmarks Ltd.

 

Each of these notes is convertible into First Corporation’s common stock at a price of $0.06 per share (after giving effect to the 10-for-1 stock split which occurred in September 2012.

 

Reliance on Future Financings

 

As of September 30, 2012, we had no cash on hand beyond what we require for short term expenses. From our inception, we have used our common stock and loans from our shareholders, officers and directors to raise money for our operations and for our anticipated acquisition. We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue our plan of operation. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report to our audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2012, that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

 

On December 20, 2012, the company issued 8% convertible notes payable in the aggregate principal face amounts of $42,500 in exchange for cash proceeds of the same amount. The notes provides for the payment of 8% interest per annum with a due dates of December 20, 2013. The notes also provides for potential conversion into common stock of the Company at a price of $0.03 per share.

 

Going Concern

 

As reflected in the accompanying audited financial statements, the Company is in the development stage. The accompanying audited financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying audited financial statements, the Company has no sales and has incurred a net loss of $1,447,677 since inception used $163,318 in cash for operating activities for the year ended September 30, 2012.

This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. There can be no assurance that any additional financings will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all. 

The audited financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of audited financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the audited financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Accordingly actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair Value Measurements under GAAP clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. Under the standard, fair value measurements are separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. It only applies to accounting pronouncements that already require or permit fair value measures, except for standards that relate to share-based payments.

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets): or model-derived calculations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

 

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The carrying value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, short-term borrowings (including convertible notes payable), and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed, otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has been disclosed.

 

Per Share Data

 

Basic and diluted net loss per common share for all periods presented is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding as defined by Accounting Standard Codification 260-10, “Earnings Per Share” (“ASC 260-10). The effect of stock options on diluted EPS is determined through the application of the treasury stock method, whereby proceeds received by the Company based on assumed exercises are hypothetically used to repurchase the Company's common stock at the average market price during the period. For the years ended September 30, 2012, and 2011, any common stock equivalents were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would reduce net loss per share.

10
 

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”) which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of certain assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period, plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of the assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company had no significant deferred tax items arise during any of the periods presented.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and others”, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered. In such circumstances, the Company will estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Future cash flows are the future cash inflows expected to be generated by an asset less the future outflows expected to be necessary to obtain those inflows. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company will recognize an impairment loss to adjust to the fair value of the asset. At September 30, 2012, the company does not believe its long term asset requires an impairment loss.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains its temporary cash investments in high credit quality financial institutions. At times, such amounts may exceed federally insured limits.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods' data to conform to the current period's presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported income or losses.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources be charged to operations as incurred.

 

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. The objective of this pronouncement is to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. When effective, ASU 2011-05 will help financial statement users better understand the causes of an entity's change in financial position and results of operations. Management does not feel that the adoption of this update will have a substantial impact on the financial statements.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management will have, a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.

 

ITEM 7A.        QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities. Because some of our expenses are in Canadian dollars, any exchange rate change affecting the value of the in Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar could have an effect on our financial results as reported in U.S. dollars. If the in Canadian dollar were to depreciate against the U.S. dollar, amounts reported in U.S. dollars would be correspondingly reduced. If the in Canadian dollar were to appreciate against the U.S. dollar, amounts reported in U.S. dollars would be correspondingly increased.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Board of Directors and shareholders of

First Corporation.

Essex, United Kingdom

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of First Corporation (the “Company”), a development Stage company as of September 30, 2012 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2012. 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 audit. The accompanying financial statements of the Company for the period from December 27, 1995 (date of inception) through September 30, 2011 were not audited by us. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report, dated January 12, 2012 expresses an unqualified opinion on those statements and included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements for the period from December 27, 1995 (date of inception) through September 30, 2011, reflect a net loss of $1,066,451. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for such prior periods as indicated in the accompanying financial statements for such periods from December 27, 1995 (inception) through September 30, 2011 is based solely on the report of such other auditors.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 also 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 audit provided a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First Corporation as of September 30, 2012 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 2 of the accompanying financial statements, the Company is in development stage, has no revenue, has incurred significant losses since inception, and has a working capital deficiency as of September 30, 2012, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of First Corporation (An Exploration Stage Company)

 

 We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of First Corporation (An Exploration Stage Company) as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2011 and for the period from the date of inception on December 27, 1995 to September 30, 2011. First Corporation’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

 We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 financial position of First Corporation (An Exploration Stage Company) as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2011 and for the period from the date of inception on December 27, 1995 to September 30, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred a net operating loss of $1,483,541 since inception and has not attained profitable operations and is dependent upon obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its planned activity. These factors raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 6. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

FIRST CORPORATION

(A DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE COMPANY)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2012

 

NOTE 1 – Description of Business

 

First Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on December 27, 1995. The Company's activities to date have been limited to organization and capital formation. The Company was originally "an exploration stage company" and had acquired a series of mining claims for exploration and formulated a business plan to investigate the possibilities of a viable mineral deposit. However, due to difficulty securing financing, the board of directors voted to discontinue operations of mineral claims, and pursue other investment opportunities. The company is a development stage entity, as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 915.

 

To date, the Company has generated no sales revenues, and has incurred significant expenses and has sustained losses. Consequently, the Company's operations are subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. For the period from inception on December 27, 1995 (Date of Inception) through September 30, 2012, the Company has accumulated losses of $1,447,677.

 

NOTE 2- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

(A) Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying audited financial statements are presented in United States dollars under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

(B)Going Concern

 

As reflected in the accompanying audited financial statements, the Company is in the development stage. The accompanying audited financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying audited financial statements, the Company has no sales and has incurred a net loss of $1,447,677 since inception used $163,318 in cash for operating activities for the year ended September 30, 2012.

 

This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The audited financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. There can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all. 

 

(C)Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

(D)Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of audited financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the audited financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

(E)Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair Value Measurements under GAAP clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. Under the standard, fair value measurements are separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. It only applies to accounting pronouncements that already require or permit fair value measures, except for standards that relate to share-based payments.

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets): or model-derived calculations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

 

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The carrying value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, short-term borrowings (including convertible notes payable), and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity. All other significant financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments of the Company are either recognized or disclosed in the financial statements together with other information relevant for making a reasonable assessment of future cash flows, interest rate risk and credit risk. Where practicable the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities have been determined and disclosed, otherwise only available information pertinent to fair value has been disclosed.

 

The Company considers its investment in Gecko Landmarks Ltd to be level 3, and accounting guidance requires a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for each major category of assets. The reconciliation is as follows:

(F)Per Share Data

 

Basic and diluted net loss per common share for all periods presented is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding as defined by ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share”. The effect of stock options on diluted EPS is determined through the application of the treasury stock method, whereby proceeds received by the Company based on assumed exercises are hypothetically used to repurchase the Company's common stock at the average market price during the period. For the years ended September 30, 2012, and 2011, any common stock equivalents were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would reduce net loss per share.

 

(G)Provision for Income Taxes

 

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”) which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of certain assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period, plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of the assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company had no significant deferred tax items arise during any of the periods presented.

(H)Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and others”, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered. In such circumstances, the Company will estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Future cash flows are the future cash inflows expected to be generated by an asset less the future outflows expected to be necessary to obtain those inflows. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company will recognize an impairment loss to adjust to the fair value of the asset. At September 30, 2012, the company does not believe its long term asset requires an impairment loss.

 

(I)Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains its temporary cash investments in high credit quality financial institutions. At times, such amounts may exceed federally insured limits.

 

(J)Reclassification

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior periods' data to conform to the current period's presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported income or losses.

 

(K)Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. The objective of this pronouncement is to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. When effective, ASU 2011-05 will help financial statement users better understand the causes of an entity's change in financial position and results of operations. Management does not feel that the adoption of this update will have a substantial impact on the financial statements.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management will have, a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, 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 Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are, as of the date covered by this Annual Report, not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

 

With the participation of our Principal Executive Officer/ Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2012 based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). Based on our evaluation and the material weaknesses described below, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2012 based on the COSO framework criteria. Management has identified control deficiencies regarding the lack of segregation of duties and the need for a stronger internal control environment Management of the Company believes that these material weaknesses are due to the small size of the Company’s accounting staff. The small size of the Company’s accounting staff may prevent adequate controls in the future, such as segregation of duties, due to the cost/benefit of such remediation. To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of legal and accounting professionals. As we grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.

 

These control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of account balances that would result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Accordingly, we have determined that these control deficiencies as described above together constitute a material weakness.

 

In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analyses and procedures in order to conclude that our financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2012 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K were fairly stated in accordance with US GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that despite our material weaknesses, our financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2012 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with US GAAP.

 

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

 

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

In connection with the evaluation of our internal controls during our last fiscal quarter, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has determined that there have been no changes to our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the last quarter and materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Name   Age   Position
         
Andrew Clarke   37   Chief Executive Officer and Director

 

The following describes the business experience of Andrew Clarke, our remaining director and executive officer:

 

Mr. Clarke, who has served as our CEO and director since December 2010, has business and management experience which the board believes suit him for steering the company through its pending acquisition. Since September 17, 2007, Mr. Clarke has served as Regional Sales Director of Foster Refrigerator where he is responsible for management of the UK Southern Region Sales Force supplying refrigeration equipment to a wide range of corporate customers in both the private and public sectors, including preparation of budgets, management of sales force to achieve targets and monthly reporting to its US based parent company. During 2010, Mr. Clarke has also served as a Consultant for Caruso (UK) Ltd - providing support to the Chief Executive Officer in the management of various private equity and small cap investments, liaising with management and agreeing investment strategies with the CEO. It is through such an arrangement that Mr. Clarke provides services to First Corporation as its CEO. From January 2005 to 2007, Mr. Clarke was a Corporate Entertainment Executive - Design Hospitality - Organizing and coordinating Corporate Entertainment events at major sporting events including Grand Prix, Test Match cricket, UK and US boxing promotions and Champions League soccer.

 

Committees of the Board of Directors

 

Our Board of Directors does not maintain a separately-designated standing audit committee. As a result, our entire Board of Directors acts as our audit committee. Our Board of Directors has determined that we do not presently have a director who meets the definition of an “audit committee financial expert.” We believe that the cost related to appointing a financial expert to our Board of Directors at this time is prohibitive. Our Board of Directors presently do not have a compensation committee, nominating committee, an executive committee of our board of directors, stock plan committee or any other committees.

 

Compliance with Section 16(A) of the Securities Exchange Act

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers, directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our equity securities (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Reporting Persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, there were no Reporting Persons who failed to file on a timely basis, reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during the most recent fiscal year other than DeMatco Group Corp.

  (1) DeMatco Group Corp is a subsidiary of DeMatco Inc. which is approximately 30% beneficially owned by Terrence Ramsden and approximately 20% beneficially owned by Robert Stevens.  Lindsay Smith is a director of Dematco and could therefore be deemed a beneficial owner of shares held by DeMatco Group Corp for reporting purposes only.  Mr. Smith is also a principal of Private Trading Systems Corp which holds 11,000,000 shares of First Corporation which shares, when aggregated with shares of DeMatco Group Corp strictly for reporting purposes, would exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of First Corp. Similarly, Juerg Walker also beneficially holds in excess of 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of DeMatco Inc. which, when aggregated for reporting purposes with 12,000,000 of First Corporation held by him would exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of First Corporation.

 

  (2) Mount Elba Ltd. is beneficially owned by Neil Coles.

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 on the date of this Annual Report. As of September 30, 2012, we had 263,852,500 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

DeMatco Group Corp beneficially owns 26.53% of First Corporation’s issued and outstanding common stock.
