TIRELESS STEPS, INC. |

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
|
December 31, 2012 |
|
NOTE 1 CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
|
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at December 31, 2012, and for all periods presented herein, have been made. |
|
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys September 30, 2012 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the periods ended December 31, 2012 and the same period last year are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years. |
|
NOTE 2 GOING CONCERN |
|
The Companys financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern. This contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Currently, the Company has a working capital deficit of $25,070, and net loss from operations since inception of $41,470. The Company does not have a source of revenue sufficient to cover its operation costs giving substantial doubt for it to continue as a going concern. The Company will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital through placement of our common stock in order to implement its business plan, or merge with an operating company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in either situation in order to continue as a going concern. The Company is funding its initial operations by way of issuing Founders shares. |
|
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Managements plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. |
|
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. |

MANAGEMENT`S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This section of this report includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. These forward looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.
OVERVIEW
Tireless Steps, Inc. ("TS", "the Company", our or "we") was incorporated in the State of Nevada as a for-profit company on September 21, 2010. We are a start-up stage company still in the development stage. Tireless Steps mission is to provide pleasure and comfort in every step of a persons life and to be an environmentally aware Company. We intend to market our products to individuals that would prefer to buy
9
green. Our intent is to use recycled rubber products as the core material for our product lines. Our raw material focus will be old tires.
Our initial target market is going to be womens non-athletic footwear. Our entry product in this market will be flip-flops from our Clear & Soft footwear line, for those who seek both a clear environmental consciousness and comfortable footwear.
Our strategy is to create market differentiation by marketing ourselves as a green Company with green products.
The Company was unable to initiate our business plan at this present moment and is searching for more funds. The cost to establish the Company and begin operations was initially estimated to be approximately $80,000 over the next twelve months and the cost to maintain our reporting status increased from $6,000 to $10,000. This extra cost and lack of funds has delayed the implementation of our plan of operation.
The officer and director, Lei Sun, has advanced some funds ($7,989 as of December 31, 2012) to the company to maintain our status report but there is no assurance that she will be able to satisfy our future cash requirements. The president loan has no fixed term, no fixed repayment date and no interest.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three month periods ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011
We did not generate any revenues for the three month periods ending December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
Our net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2012, was $4,145 and the net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $822. The net loss at December 31, 2012 was due primarily to an increase in professional fees.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As at December 31, 2012, we had cash on hand of $844.
As of December 31, 2012, we had working capital of $(25,070). Our total liabilities, consisting of current liabilities, as of December 31, 2012 were $27,163. Our total assets as at December 31, 2012 were $2,093.
Cash Flow Used in Operating Activities
Operating activities used cash of $6,374 for the three months ended December 31, 2012, and $6,322 for the three months ended December 31, 2011.
Cash Flows From Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,104 for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and $5,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011.
10
PLAN OF OPERATION
The Company has not yet generated any revenue from its operations. As of the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2012 we had $844 of cash on hand. We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $4,145 in the quarter ended December 31, 2012. These operating expenses were comprised of professional fees and office and general expenses.
Our current cash holdings will not satisfy our liquidity requirements and we will require additional financing to pursue our planned business activities. We have registered 4,000,000 of our common stock for sale to the public. Our registration statement became effective on January 30, 2012 and we are in the process of seeking equity financing to fund our operations over the next months.
Management believes that if subsequent private placements are successful, we will generate sales revenue within the following twelve months thereof. However, additional equity financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all, and thus we could fail to satisfy our future cash requirements.
If TS is unsuccessful in raising the additional proceeds through a private placement offering it will then have to seek additional funds through debt financing, which would be very difficult for a new development stage company to secure. Therefore, the company is highly dependent upon the success of the anticipated private placement offering described herein and failure thereof would result in TS having to seek capital from other resources such as debt financing, which may not even be available to the company. However, if such financing were available, because TS is a development stage company with no operations to date, it would likely have to pay additional costs associated with high risk loans and be subject to an above market interest rate. At such time these funds are required, management would evaluate the terms of such debt financing and determine whether the business could sustain operations and growth and manage the debt load. If TS cannot raise additional proceeds via a private placement of its common stock or secure debt financing it would be required to cease business operations. As a result, investors in TS common stock would lose all of their investment.
As long as we succeed to raise the funds required to start our operation, TS plans to develop its initial activities in 18 months, as shown in the following table, which presents the planned activities, responsible, duration and forecasted investments:
1. Market Analysis (6 Months, total estimated cost $11,000): The Company intends on doing a more detailed analysis of the footwear market as a whole, then narrowing the research to our niche market. This study will help determine the viability and profitability of TS products.

It is possible that the same student will simultaneously be able to completed additional research as outlined below in 1.1 and report back to the President.
1.1. Green Footwear Market Research Acquisition (Month 1, estimated cost $6,000): selection and purchase of market research on the footwear industry and green awareness from market research companies. This market research will assist the company in the decision making process and business development of TS.

1.2. Deeper analysis of the footwear market and revision of business plan (from Month 2 to 4, estimated cost $3,000): study and analysis of the data from the market research may determine that a revision
11
of TSs business plan is required. The Companys President will have overall responsibility for this task but intend to hire a University student to complete this task and report back to the President.

2. Selection of Suppliers & Manufactures (from Month 15 to 17, total estimated cost $3,000):. Based on the characteristics determined in section 1.3 we will be well prepared to select the suppliers and manufacturers that can support these needs. The President of the Company based on the compilation of research and with an initial product specification in hand will approach various manufacturers within the USA that can produce the Companys product to meet its specifications. The Company will focus on US manufactures primarily, if the Company is unable to find a US based manufacturer that can meet the Companys needs on favorable terms the Companys President will seek manufacturers in China or possibly Mexico. The President will also formally contact various US based suppliers of raw materials to negotiate product quality, pricing and volumes.
The Company has identified and contacted a few suppliers. We have requested information on the availability of crumb rubber from old tires and if the companies would have it in stock or if we would need to order in advance.
We have contacted CRM Co. with business in Arizona, California and New York; Polyvulc USA from Vicksburg, MS and Majestic Mulch, from Bensalem, PA. We have received the following response from CRM Co., on August 8, 2011: We have as much crumb rubber derived from the recycling waste tires as you may need Thank you for contacting us. Michael D. Harrington, Sales Manager. We have not yet secured any contract with any Company as of the date of this prospectus and there is no negotiation in place so far.

3.1. Prototyping & Testing (Months 7 and 8, estimated cost $5,000): the company intends on building a prototype of the products to test their design, durability and overall effectiveness. Depending on the results, new tests may be required, which could lead to further product adjustments. Once the Company has selected a raw material supplier and a manufacturer they will order some products samples / prototypes to be made. As the process will be a type of injection molding it is anticipated that the manufacturer will use a computerized CNC machine to make a single cavity aluminum mold to create the samples. This type of prototyping is reality inexpensive but as the individual cost of each sample will be much higher than full manufacturing the products supplied can only be used for product and consumer testing. The president of the Company will oversee this process.
3.2. Consumer's analysis (Months 9 and 10, estimated cost $4,000): We expect to present the products prototypes to a diverse selection of consumers in order to obtain their input on the products. Depending on the results, further prototyping and testing may be required. Once the Company has a number of initial product samples in hand the Company intends to create a product survey to be answered by its core targeted consumer base. The Company intends to get the samples into the hands of several students in Universities and Colleges based on the west coast of America. These
12
students will show the products to other students while asking these students to fill out the survey form. Once the survey of approximately 100 consumers has been completed they will be reviewed by the president to see what if any changes need to me made to the prototypes prior to production. The Company may have a draw to win a nominal prize in order to entice students to take the survey.
3.3. Final prototype and product manufacturing specifications (from Month 11 to 13, estimated cost $6,000): , Once all of the above research and testing has been performed then the final prototype is made and manufacturing specifications are defined. The final product design and initial products manufactured will be at the sole discretion of the Companys president. The Companys president has been in the footwear industry for many years and has a good understanding of the market.

The Company would prefer to secure manufactures and suppliers within the United States as part of its current marketing is to promote domestic products. If the Company cannot find a manufacturer in the United States and with favorable terms it will seek manufacturing in Asia or possibly Mexico. The Companys president has contacts in Asia in the manufacturing of footwear. The Companys president will have the responsibility to source and negotiate the manufacturing of the Companys products.

We do not currently have any employees and management does not plan to hire employees at this time. We do not expect the purchase or sale of any significant equipment and has no current material commitments.
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY; NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are a development stage corporation and have not generated any revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
If TS is unsuccessful in raising the additional proceeds through a private placement offering it will then have to seek additional funds through debt financing, which would be highly difficult for a new development stage company to secure. Therefore, the company is highly dependent upon the success of the anticipated private placement offering and failure thereof would result in TS having to seek capital from other sources such as debt financing, which may not even be available to the company. However, if such financing were available, because TS is a development stage company with no operations to date, it would likely have to pay additional costs associated with high risk loans and be subject to an above market interest rate. At such time these funds are required, management would evaluate the terms of such debt financing and determine whether the business could sustain operations and growth and manage the debt load. If TS cannot raise additional proceeds via a private placement of its common stock or secure debt financing it would be required to cease business operations. As a result, investors in TS common stock would lose all of their investment.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT
The company is dependent upon the sale of its common shares to obtain the funding necessary to carry its business plan. Our President, Lei Sun has undertaken to provide the Company with operating capital to sustain its business over the next twelve month period, as the expenses are incurred, in the form of a non-secured loan. However, there is no contract in place or written agreement securing these agreements. Investors should be aware that Mrs. Sun expression is neither a contract nor agreement between her and the company.
Other than the above described situation the Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Based upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures, our principal executive and financial officer has concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective.
The material weaknesses in our disclosure control procedures are as follows:
1. Lack of formal policies and procedures necessary to adequately review significant accounting transactions. The Company utilizes a third party independent contractor for the preparation of its financial statements. Although the financial statements and footnotes are reviewed by our management, we do not have a formal policy to review significant accounting transactions and the accounting treatment of such transactions. The third party independent contractor is not involved in the day to day operations of the Company and may not be provided information from management on a timely basis to allow for adequate reporting/consideration of certain transactions.
2. Audit Committee and Financial Expert. The Company does not have a formal audit committee with a financial expert, and thus the Company lacks the board oversight role within the financial reporting process.
We intend to initiate measures to remediate the identified material weaknesses including, but not necessarily limited to, the following:
| | Establishing a formal review process of significant accounting transactions that includes participation of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the Companys corporate legal counsel. |
| | Form an Audit Committee that will establish policies and procedures that will provide the Board of Directors a formal review process that will among other things, assure that management controls and procedures are in place and being maintained consistently. |
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
