FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that are not statements of historical fact and may involve a number of risks and uncertainties. These statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable. These statements may also relate to our future prospects, developments and business strategies. We have used the words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “could”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “plan”, “predict”, “project”, and similar terms and phrases, including references to assumptions, in this Form 10-Q to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made based on expectations and beliefs concerning future events affecting us and are subject to uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those matters expressed in or implied by these forward-looking statements. You should keep in mind that any forward-looking statements made by us in this Form 10-Q or elsewhere speak only as of the date on which we make them. New risks and uncertainties come up from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how they may affect us. We have no duty to, and do not intend to, update or revise the forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q after the date of this Form 10-Q, except as may be required by law. Readers are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that may be disclosed from time to time in our SEC filings or otherwise, including the factors discussed in Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed on July 10, 2012 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, and in our periodic reports on Form 10-Q.

(A Development Stage Company)

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 - Organization and liquidity

 

Organization

 

Q Lotus Holdings, Inc. (“Q Lotus” or the “Company”) is a Nevada Corporation formed to operate as a financial services company for its operating subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2012, the close of its most recently completed fiscal quarter, the Company had two wholly owned subsidiaries, Q Lotus, Inc. (“QLI”), a Nevada corporation whose operations through such date have consisted of the acquisition of certain mining claims, and Midwest Business Credit, Inc. (“MBC”), a Nevada corporation that was formed in order to acquire the assets of Midwest Business Credit LLC (“MBC LLC”), an asset based lending company which provides secured financing. Currently, our business consists solely of holding mineral rights in a portfolio of minerals and our activities to date have been limited to formation of the legal and business structure, business planning, the pursuit of capital and the exploration of possible acquisitions and investments.

 

The Company was originally incorporated as Extreme Home Staging, Inc. in 2006. The primary revenue-generating activity of this business until June 11, 2010 was home staging, which is the art and process of preparing a house, a condominium, or any private residence to be as visually and aesthetically pleasing as possible prior to going up for sale in the real estate marketplace. On June 11, 2010, Extreme Home Staging, Inc. entered into and closed an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange with QLI and its sole shareholder, Marckensie Theresias, pursuant to which Extreme Home Staging, Inc. acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of QLI in exchange for the issuance of 30,000,000 shares of Extreme Home Staging, Inc. common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Exchange”). The 30,000,000 shares issued to Marckensie Theresias constituted 57.6% of our issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully diluted basis. The acquisition was accounted for as a recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein QLI was considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. As a result of the Exchange, QLI became a wholly owned subsidiary of Extreme Home Staging, Inc.

 

On July 16, 2010, Extreme Home Staging, Inc. underwent a name change to Q Lotus Holdings, Inc. On July 16, 2010, the Company also executed a 3 for 1 common stock split.  Accordingly, all common share and per common share information has been restated within this Form 10-Q to reflect this stock split.

 

The Company is a development stage company and is in its initial stage of operations. The Company has funded its operations to date from proceeds received from the sale of its common stock totaling approximately $945,000, from advances made by the Company’s Chairman, related parties and other advances from unaffiliated third parties.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Since Q Lotus was created on March 31, 2010, the Company has had no revenue and has generated losses from operations. At December 31, 2012, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $3,484,000 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $4,642,000. Since its formation on March 31, 2010 through December 31, 2012, the Company raised approximately $945,000 in cash from the issuance of common stock and approximately $2,599,000 in proceeds from the issuance of notes payable. These funds were primarily used in ongoing operations, to formulate business plans and explore investment opportunities. The Company needs to raise additional capital from external sources in order to sustain operations while executing its business plan. The Company cannot provide any assurance that it will be able to raise additional capital. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to reduce its current operating expenses, modify its existing business plan and take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve its cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet its obligations.

There can be no assurance that such funding initiatives will be successful and any equity placement could result in substantial dilution to current stockholders. The above factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2012, the Company’s activities have been limited to its formation, business planning, pursuing capital and the exploration of possible acquisitions and investments.

 

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered for a fair presentation have been included. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance date of this Form 10-Q. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto for the Company included in the Company’s Form 10-K/A filed on July 10, 2012 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

 

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries QLI and MBC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets, (ii) liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and (iii) the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions include valuing equity securities, share based payment arrangements, deferred taxes and related valuation allowances. Certain of our estimates could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to our industry, and general economic conditions. It is possible that these external factors could have an effect on our estimates that could cause actual results to differ from our estimates. The Company re-evaluates all of its accounting estimates at least quarterly based on these conditions and record adjustments when necessary.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees in accordance with accounting guidance, which requires that such equity instruments be recorded at their fair value on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes Option Valuation Model method for stock options and the quoted price of its common stock for unrestricted shares and are amortized over the vesting period of the award. For non-employee stock-based awards, the Company calculates the fair value of the award on the date of a grant in the same manner as employee awards. The Company recognizes the compensation costs over the requisite period of the award, which is typically the date the services are performed. Stock-based compensation is reflected within operating expenses. These are non-cash transactions that require management to make judgments related to the fair value of the shares issued, which affects the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for certain of its assets and expenses. For historic fiscal years when there was not an observable active, liquid market for the Company’s common stock, the valuation of the shares issued in a non-cash share payment transaction relies on observation of arms-length transactions where cash was received for its shares, before and after the non-cash share payment.

 

9
 

  

Income Taxes

 

The Company determines income taxes using the asset and liability approach which results in 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 those assets and liabilities, as well as operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. The interpretation requires that the Company recognize the impact of a tax position in its financial statements if it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. It also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. In accordance with the provision of ASC 740, any cumulative effect resulting from the change in accounting principle is to be recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated retained earnings. The Company has filed its Federal and state income tax returns for the year ended March 31, 2012. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements at this time.

 

The Company’s policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest as interest expense and penalties as selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company classifies all of its common stock purchase warrants and other derivative financial instruments as equity if the contracts (1) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (2) give the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that (1) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company), (2) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement), or (3) contracts that contain reset provisions. The Company assesses classification of its common stock purchase warrants and other derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.

 

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of our long-term credit obligations approximate fair value because the effective yields on these obligations are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

 

Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

 

Financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

 

   Fair value measurements at December 31, 2012 
                 
   December 31,   Quoted prices in         
   2012   active markets for   Significant   Significant 
       unobservable   other   observable 
       identical assets   inputs   inputs 
       (Level 1)   (Level 2)   (Level 3) 
Derivative liability  $189,626           $189,626 

  

The derivative liabilities are measured at fair value using quoted market prices and estimated volatility factors based on historical quoted market prices for the Company’s common stock, and are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

 

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

 

   December 31,   March 31, 
   2012   2012 
   (unaudited)     
         
Beginning Balance  $--   $-- 
Aggregate fair value of derivative issued  $212,492   $-- 
Issuance charge in excess of note proceeds  $(85,738)  $-- 
Change in fair value of derivative included in results of operations  $62,872   $-- 
           
Ending Balance  $189,626   $-- 

  

Net Loss Per Common Share

 

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss per share available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the period and excludes any potentially dilutive securities.  Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all dilutive securities into common stock.  The computation of loss per share for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2012 excludes potentially dilutive securities, including warrants of 5,572,500 and convertible securities of 13,439,216, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The computation of loss per share for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2011 excludes potentially dilutive securities, including warrants of 507,000 and convertible securities of 309,000, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

We reviewed new accounting standards as issued. Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of our previous fiscal year may be applicable to us, we have not identified any standards that we believe merit further discussion. We expect that none of the new standards will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Facility Lease

 

The Company is not currently leasing any office space.

 

Mineral Rights

 

The Company holds mining rights of properties located in Utah, Arizona and Oregon.  As consideration for the mining rights, the Company entered into a Revenue Sharing Agreement that would provide the transferors with a percentage of the net revenue realized from the sale of minerals that have been extracted and mined from each respective claim. In valuing such consideration (rights to receive fees in the future) the Company considered many factors in determining an appropriate fair value of the consideration/rights. Since the Company did not exchange any monetary consideration for the acquired mining rights, the Company will account for the mining rights in accordance with the guidance described with respect to “Nonmonetary Transactions”.  The assets acquired provide no further support of fair values since there appears to be an absence of objective support to measure the value of the rights within reasonable limits that any value can be realized.  It should be noted that the Company has not begun any mining operations as of December 31, 2012.  No studies have been performed as to the magnitude of the cost necessary to extract any value and at present, based on the information available, no reliable estimates as to the realizable nature of the assets can be determined.  Given that no monetary consideration was paid, and that no minimum payments have been guaranteed, and given that the Company does not currently have the means to pay for such rights, the fair value of the consideration was determined to be de minimus and therefore valued at zero. Payments to the transferors for future revenue from said minerals will be charged to expense when incurred. There were no transactions relating to these mineral rights through December 31, 2012.  In June 2011, the Company entered into an agreement to swap four of its mining claims, representing approximately one-third of such claims, with an unrelated third party in exchange for four equivalent claims.

 

Litigation, Claims and Assessments

 

From time to time, in the normal course of business, the Company may be involved in litigation.  The Company’s management has determined any asserted or unasserted claims to be immaterial to the consolidated financial statements at this time.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2012, the Company made advances to Southshore Real Estate Development, LLC, in the amount of $115,000 and also advanced funds to MBC LLC in the amount of $400,000. Monies advanced to MBC LLC are to be converted to capital as part of the Company’s desire to acquire MBC LLC.

The Company also issued to Asher warrants to purchase 2,200,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.01 per share for a period of five years. These warrants were determined to be a derivative since it contains a price protection feature.

 

Derivative Financial Instrument

 

The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging which requires issuers of financial statements to make a determination as to whether (1) an embedded conversion meets the definition of a derivative in its entirety and (2) the derivative would qualify for a scope exception to derivative accounting, which includes evaluating whether the embedded derivative would be considered indexed to the issuer’s own stock.

 

ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as separate derivatives in the event such derivatives would not be classified in stockholders’ equity if they were free standing. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other applicable US GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides for an exception to this rule if a debt host instrument is deemed to be a conventional debt instrument.

 

The Company evaluated the conversion option embedded in its Convertible Notes in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815 and determined that on the conversion date, the conversion option will have all of the characteristics of a derivative in its entirety and does not qualify for an exception to the derivative accounting rules. Specifically, because the exercise price of the conversion option is not fixed at any time during the term of the note based on the occurrence or non-occurrence of certain events also entitles the counterparty to an adjustment of the exercise price in the event that the Company subsequently issues equity securities or equity linked securities at prices more favorable than the exercise price of the conversion option embedded in the note. Accordingly, the embedded conversion option in the convertible notes are classified as derivative liabilities at the issuance dates and are marked to market through earnings at the end of each reporting period. The fair value of the conversion option was determined using the intrinsic value method which the Company believes approximate the results obtained using the Binomial Lattice model. The $133,000 gross proceed from the issuance of the Convertible notes were recorded net of a discount of $125,543 related to the derivative liability. The debt discount will be charged to amortization of debt discount ratably over the term of the convertible notes. . The Company recorded an aggregate amortization of the debt discount in the amount of $48,915 and $84,466 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012. The aggregate fair value of these derivatives was $212,492 at the date of issuance which includes $85,738 of fair value in excess of the convertible notes. The $84,738 was included in interest expense. At December 31, 2012 the fair value of the derivative liability was $189,626. The change in the fair value of the derivative liability is recorded in the Statement of Operations.

OVERVIEW

 

Q Lotus Holdings, Inc. (“Q Lotus” or the “Company”) is a Nevada Corporation formed to operate as a financial services company for its operating subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2012, the close of its most recently completed fiscal quarter, the Company had two wholly owned subsidiaries, Q Lotus, Inc. (“QLI”), a Nevada Corporation whose operations through such date have consisted of the acquisition of certain mining claims, and Midwest Business Credit, Inc. (“MBC”), a Nevada corporation that was formed in order to acquire the assets of Midwest Business Credit LLC (“MBC LLC”), an asset based lending company which provides secured financing. The acquisition of MBC LLC is contingent on the Company securing the necessary financing to complete the transaction and is expected to close in 2012. The Company intends to expand its holdings by (i) either acquiring additional subsidiaries to facilitate its business plan or (ii) acquiring either minority or controlling interests in companies which we identify as undervalued and/or where our management participation in operations can aid in the recognition of the business’s potential fair value, as well as create additional value, (ii) to make capital investments in a variety of privately held companies, or (iii) invest in real estate assets. The Company anticipates that the primary revenue sources will come from revenues from acquired operations, and interest, dividends, rents, royalties and capital gains (from both loans and equity investments) in both (a) startup companies with proprietary technology and (b) medium sized businesses with an established operating history. Currently, our business has consisted solely of holding mineral rights in a portfolio of minerals and our activities have been limited to the formation of the legal and business structure, business planning, the pursuit of capital and the exploration possible acquisitions and investments.

 

The Company was originally incorporated as Extreme Home Staging, Inc. on May 2, 2006. The primary revenue-generating activity of this business until June 11, 2010 was home staging, which is the art and process of preparing a house, a condominium, or any private residence to be as visually and aesthetically pleasing as possible prior to going up for sale in the real estate marketplace. On June 11, 2010, Extreme Home Staging, Inc. entered into and closed an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange with QLI and its sole shareholder, Marckensie Theresias, pursuant to which Extreme Home Staging, Inc. acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of QLI in exchange for the issuance of 30,000,000 shares of Extreme Home Staging, Inc. common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Exchange”). The 30,000,000 shares issued to Marckensie Theresias constituted 57.6% of our issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully diluted basis. The acquisition was accounted for as a recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein QLI was considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. As a result of the Exchange, QLI became a wholly owned subsidiary of Extreme Home Staging, Inc.

 

23
 

  

On July 16, 2010, Extreme Home Staging, Inc. underwent a name change to Q Lotus Holdings, Inc. On July 16, 2010, the Company also executed a 3 for 1 common stock split.  Accordingly, all common share and per common share information has been restated within this Form 10-Q to reflect this stock split.

 

The Company is a development stage company and is in its initial stage of operations. The Company has funded its operations to date from proceeds received from the sale of its common stock totaling approximately $945,000, from advances made by the Company’s Chairman and other advances from unaffiliated third parties.

 

PLAN OF OPERATIONS

 

Our Planned Operating Segments

 

We plan to diversify our business primarily into three operating segments:

 

Commercial Finance / Asset-Based Lending
Real Estate Investment and Development
Natural Resources / Mining

 

We may invest in other industries if we are presented with attractive investment opportunities.

 

Real Estate Investments

 

The Company will also directly and indirectly purchase real estate, when management feels that prices within the market represent substantial buying opportunities. In the event the Company is able to execute its funding strategy we will seek to invest in large apartment complexes, industrial facilities, and commercial (Class A and Class B) properties at reasonable prices that produce substantial rent rolls. We also expect to participate with Urban R2 Development Company, LLC in various real estate investments.

 

Investment Selection

 

We are committed to a value oriented investment philosophy that seeks to minimize the risk of capital loss without foregoing potential capital appreciation. We are developing criteria that we believe are important in identifying and investing in prospective acquisition or financing targets. These criteria provide general guidelines for our investment decisions.

 

Value orientation and positive cash flow

 

Our business philosophy places a premium on fundamental analysis from an investor’s perspective and has a distinct value orientation. We will focus on companies and real estate investments in which we can invest or acquire at relatively low multiples of operating cash flow and that are profitable at the time of the transaction on an operating cash flow basis.

 

Experienced management

 

We will generally require that our target companies have an experienced management team. We also will require the companies to have proper incentives in place to induce management to succeed and to act in concert with our interests as investors, including having significant equity interests.

 

24
 

  

Competition

 

Our primary competitors provide financing to middle-market companies and include business development companies, commercial and investment banks, commercial financing companies, and to the extent they provide an alternative form of financing, private equity funds. Additionally, because competition for investment opportunities generally has increased among alternative investment vehicles, such as hedge funds, those entities have begun to invest in areas they have not traditionally invested in, including investments in middle-market companies. As a result of these new entrants, competition for investment opportunities at middle-market companies has intensified. However, at the same time, we believe that there has been a reduction in the amount of debt capital available for lending to (i) emerging growth companies and (ii) leveraged buyout transactions since the downturn in the credit markets. This has resulted in a less competitive environment for debt capital financing.

 

Many of our competitors are substantially larger and have considerably greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. For example, we believe some competitors have a lower cost of funds and access to funding sources that are not available to us. In addition, some of our competitors have higher risk tolerances or different risk assessments, which could allow them to consider a wider variety of investments and establish more financing relationships than we have.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on the consolidated financial statements of the Company, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses and related disclosures. We review our estimates on an ongoing basis.

 

We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made but also recognize that if changes in the estimate or different estimates had been made originally that could have had a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition. Our critical accounting policies include the following:

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees in accordance with accounting guidance, which requires that such equity instruments be recorded at their fair value on the date of a grant, using the Black-Scholes Option Valuation Model method for stock options and the quoted price of its common stock for unrestricted shares that are amortized over the vesting period of the award. For non-employee stock-based awards, the Company calculates the fair value of the award on the date of a grant in the same manner as employee awards. The Company recognizes the compensation costs over the requisite period of the award, which is typically the date the services are performed. Stock-based compensation is reflected within operating expenses. These are non-cash transactions that require management to make judgments related to the fair value of the shares issued, which affects the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for certain of its assets and expenses. For historic fiscal years when there was not an observable active, liquid market for the Company’s common stock, the valuation of the shares issued in a non-cash share payment transaction relies on observation of arms-length transactions where cash was received for its shares, before and after the non-cash share payment date.

 

Results of Operations

In April 2012, the Company received $180,000 from MBC LLC. The funds were used to pay operating expenses. A $16,000 loan fee was recorded to interest expense at the original maturity date of June 21, 2012.

The note is in default and accordingly is classified as a current liability. The Company is in discussion with the note holder to amend the maturity date of the note. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its effort to obtain an amendment.

 

On May 2, 2012 the Company issued a note to Corey Marie Leasing, LLC in the principal amount of $150,000 that matured on December 15, 2012.

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Since Q Lotus was created on March 31, 2010, the Company has had no revenue and has generated losses from operations. At December 31, 2012, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $3,484, 000 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $4,642,000. Since its formation on March 31, 2010 through December 31, 2012, the Company raised approximately $945,000 in cash from the issuance of common stock and approximately $2,599,000 in proceeds from the issuance of notes payable. These funds were primarily used in ongoing operations, to formulate business plans and explore investment opportunities. The Company needs to raise additional capital from external sources in order to sustain operations while executing its business plan. The Company cannot provide any assurance that it will be able to raise additional capital. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to reduce its current operating expenses, modify its existing business plan and take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve its cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet its obligations.

 

There can be no assurance that such funding initiatives will be successful and any equity placement could result in substantial dilution to current stockholders. The above factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2012, the Company’s activities have been limited to its formation, business planning, pursuing capital and the exploration of possible acquisitions and investments.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive and Financial Officers concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Notwithstanding the conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, the Principal Executive and Financial Officers believe that the condensed consolidated financial statements and other information contained in this Quarterly Report present fairly, in all material respects, our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our management, including our Principal Executive and Financial Officers, 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.

In connection with the audit of our annual 2012 consolidated financial statements, our independent auditors identified certain significant deficiencies that together constitute a material weakness in our disclosure controls and procedures. These significant deficiencies primarily relate to our lack of formalized written policies and procedures in the financial accounting area, our lack of appropriate resources to handle the accounting for complex equity and other transactions, our lack of sophisticated financial reporting systems, due in part to the small size of our Company prior to the merger, and our lack of a formalized disaster recovery plan in the information technology area. These significant deficiencies together constitute a material weakness in our disclosure controls and procedures.

 

We continue to work towards bringing our disclosure controls and procedures up to public-company standards. Due to the early development stage of the Company, we have been unable to upgrade our disclosure controls and procedures to the level required of a public company prior to the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Nevertheless, we have performed additional analyses and other post-closing procedures to ensure that our financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and applicable SEC regulations. Our planned remediation includes formalizing written policies and procedures, determining the appropriate resources to handle complex transactions as they arise in the future, upgrading our financial reporting systems, and developing and documenting a formalized IT disaster recovery plan.

 

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

The term “internal control over financial reporting” is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the registrant’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the registrant’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 generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

  · pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions of the registrant;

 

  · provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the registrant are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the registrant; and

 

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

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

 

The Company maintains a system of internal controls designed to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are executed in accordance with management's general or specific authorization; transactions are recorded as necessary to (1) permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and (2) maintain accountability for assets. Access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management's general or specific authorization.

 

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

It is the responsibility of the Company’s management to establish and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting. However, due in part to the small size of our Company, we lack formalized written policies and procedures in the financial accounting area, we lack the appropriate resources to handle the accounting for complex equity and other transactions and lack a sophisticated financial reporting systems.

Our independent auditors have reported to our Board of Directors certain matters involving internal controls that our independent auditors considered to be a material weakness as of the Evaluation Date, under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. As previously stated, the material weakness relates to our lack of formalized written policies and procedures in the financial accounting area, our lack of appropriate resources to handle the accounting for complex equity and other transactions and our lack of sophisticated financial reporting systems.
