FIRST INDEPENDENCE CORP.

(A Development Stage Corporation)

Notes to Financial Statements

(unaudited)

For the Period from February 10, 2012 (Date of Inception) through November 30, 2012


NOTE 1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION


First Independence Corp. (the “Company”), a Florida corporation, was formed to private label pourable food products for start-ups, local and national supermarket chains and specialty stores. . The Company was incorporated on February 10, 2012 (Date of Inception) with its corporate headquarters located in Osprey, Florida and its year-end is February 28, 2013.


NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. For the period ended November 30, 2012, the Company had no operations. As of November 30, 2012, the Company has not emerged from the development stage.  In view of these matters, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to begin operations and to achieve a level of profitability. The Company intends on financing its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of public equity securities with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


NOTE 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The significant accounting policies followed are:


USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The Company’s balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.


CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - All cash, other than held in escrow, is maintained with a major financial institution in the United States. Deposits with this bank may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.


DEFERRED INCOME TAXES AND VALUATION ALLOWANCE - The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes.”  Under the asset and liability method of FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  Under FASB ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs.  A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.


RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES - Expenditures for research, development, and engineering of products are expensed as incurred. There has been no research and development cost incurred for the period February 10, 2012 (date of inception) through November 30, 2012.


COMMON STOCK - The Company records common stock issuances when all of the legal requirements for the issuance of such common stock have been satisfied.

(A Development Stage Corporation)

Notes to Financial Statements

(unaudited)

For the Period from February 10, 2012 (Date of Inception) through November 30, 2012


NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE - Net income (loss) per share is calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.”  The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period is used to compute basic earning or loss per share.  Diluted earnings or loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares and diluted potential common shares outstanding.  Dilutive potential common shares are additional common shares assumed to be exercised.


Basic net income (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding at November 30, 2012.  As of November 30, 2012, the Company had no dilutive potential common shares.


REVENUE AND COST RECOGNITION - The Company has no current source of revenue; therefore the Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding the recognition of revenue or cost.


ADVERTISING COSTS - The Company’s policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred. There has been no advertising cost incurred for the three months ended November 30, 2012 or for the period February 10, 2012 (date of inception) through November 30, 2012.


RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


Except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws and a limited number of grandfathered standards, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (“ASC”) is the sole source of authoritative GAAP literature recognized by the FASB and applicable to the Company.  Management has reviewed the aforementioned rules and releases and believes any effect will not have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.


NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES


Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes resulting from temporary differences. Such temporary differences result from differences in the carrying value of assets and liabilities for tax and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company did not have any temporary differences for the period from February 10, 2012 (Date of Inception) through November 30, 2012.


The Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 “Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (ASC 740-10), on February 10, 2012. The Company has not recognized a liability as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits has not been provided since there is no unrecognized benefit since the date of adoption. The Company has not recognized interest expense or penalties as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.

For the Period from February 10, 2012 (Date of Inception) through November 30, 2012


NOTE 5. SHAREHOLDER’S EQUITY


COMMON STOCK


The authorized common stock of the Company consists of 250,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.0001.  The Company issued 9,000,000 shares of our $.0001 par value common stock to Bruno Pasquali, our CEO and sole Director, on February 10, 2012 for cash in the amount of $9,000 (per share price of $.001).


There are no warrants or options outstanding to acquire any additional shares of common stock of the Company.


NOTE 6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


On February 10, 2012, the Company sold 9,000,000 shares of common stock to its founder for $0.001 per share.


The officer and director of the Company is or may be involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities that become available. He may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and other business interests. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.


The Company does not own or lease property or lease office space. The office space used by the Company was arranged by the founder of the Company to use at a minimum charge.


The above is not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would have been incurred had a comparable transaction been entered into with independent parties.


NOTE 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCY


From time to time the Company may be a party to litigation matters involving claims against the Company.  Management believes that there are no current matters that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.


NOTE 8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


Management has evaluated subsequent events and is not aware of any significant events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date but prior to the filing of this registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) which would have a material effect upon the Company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION


Overview


First Independence Corp. (the “Company”), a Florida corporation was formed to private label pourable food products for start-ups, local and national supermarket chains and specialty stores.

Results of Operations


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed financial statements and segment data and in conjunction with the Company’s S-1 and amended S-1/A’s. Results or interim periods may not be indicative of results for the full year.


During the three months of the fiscal year 2012, the Company was focused on preparing the documentation required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). On March 21, 2012 the Company filed a Registration Form S-1 and also filed S-1/A Amendments on May 3, 2012, and May 23, 2012 with the SEC.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.


Not applicable to a smaller reporting company.


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


Management’s 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 defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:


 

 

 

 

·

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

 

 

 

 

·

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and


- 11 -



 

·

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.


As of November 30, 2012 management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.


The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (3) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of November 30, 2012.


Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2) and (3) above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.


Management’s Remediation Initiatives


In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:


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


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


We anticipate that these initiatives will be at least partially, if not fully, implemented by February 28, 2013. Additionally, we plan to test our updated controls and remediate our deficiencies by November 30, 2013.
