Assurance Group, Inc.

(A Development Stage Company)

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

 (unaudited)

Note A. Description of Business

Assurance Group, Inc. (the "Company" or "AGI") was originally incorporated in the State of Florida on July 10, 1997 as August Project II Corp. On June 13, 2000, the Company's name was changed to Traffic Engine.com Inc. On January 2, 2001, Traffic Engine.com executed an agreement for the exchange of Common Share with Traffic Engine Inc., which became a wholly owned subsidiary of the parent. On March 29, 2001, the Company merged with Syndeos Corporation (f.k.a. Premier Plus Inc. a Florida Corporation). The Company changed its name to reflect majority ownership by the principles to Syndeos Group. Prior to its merger to become Syndeos Group, the Company was created to be a technology holding company with the purpose of identifying and acquiring emerging technology. The Company changed its name again to Air Media Now!, Inc on April 1, 2002, and owns two wholly owned subsidiaries Nortex Associates Inc and Syndeos Corporation. The Company changed it's name to Assurance Group, Inc. on January 10, 2008.During the last quarter of 2002, the Management of the Company made a decision to cease the then current operations of the Company including the two subsidiaries. This was due to the fact that the new current management had no experience in the Wireless Telecom industry. The Company re-entered the development stage on January 1, 2003. Activities since re-entering the development stage have been comprised mainly of developing the business plan and administrative matters.

Note B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Company maintains its accounts on the accrual basis of accounting.  The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in The United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations. The interim results for the period ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

It is management's opinion, however that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statements presentation.

USE OF ESTIMATES

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

DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY

Based upon the Company's business plan, it is a development stage enterprise since planned principal activities have not yet commenced.  As a development stage enterprise, the Company discloses the deficit accumulated during the development stage commencement to the current  balance sheet date on the statements of operations, cash flows and statement of changes in shareholders' deficit.  The Company re-entered the development stage on January 1, 2003.

CASH

Cash consists of deposits in banks and other financial institutions having original maturities of less than ninety days.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is assured. The company had no revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for accounts payable and accrued expenses, and loans payable-related parties approximate their fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

Table of Contents

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 260, Earnings per Share. As of March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, there were no common share equivalents outstanding.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation.  Under FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans.  As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value.  Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.  The Company applies this statement prospectively.

Equity instruments ("instruments") issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718.  FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees defines the measurement date and recognition period for such instruments.  In general, the measurement date is when either a (a) performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.

INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 ("ASC 740-10-25") Income Taxes.  Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement 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 ASC 740-10-25, 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's U.S. Federal and State income tax returns prior to fiscal year December 31, 2008 are closed and management continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings. The Company recognizes interest and penalties associated with tax matters as part of the income tax provision and includes accrued interest and penalties with the related tax liability in the  balance sheet. 

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.

RECLASSIFICATION

Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.  These reclassifications had no impact on the Company's net loss or cash flows.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2009-13, which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services separately rather than as a combined unit and modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables. The ASU significantly expands the disclosure requirements for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The ASU will be effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented or prospectively to arrangements entered into or materially modified after the adoption date. Early adoption is permitted, provided that the guidance is retroactively applied to the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2009-13 to have any effect on its financial statements upon its required adoption on January 1, 2011. 

Note C. Related Party Transactions

The Company has received cash advances from Richard Turner,  CFO of the Company and Barney Richmond CEO of the company, in varying amounts and at various times.  These related party loans were non-collateralized and due on demand.  The balance owed Mr. Turner as of September 30, 2012 is $5,053.  The balance owed to Mr. Richmond as of September 30, 2012 is $11,806.

The Company is allocated certain expenses such as professional fees, rent, travel, and administrative costs that are paid on behalf of the Company by American Capital Holdings, Inc. a company that is related to the Company by mutual stockholders and Directors. The total expenses allocated to the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $11,000 and $15,000, respectively.  The balance owed to American Capital Holdings as of September 30, 2012 is $31,166.

Note D. Going Concern

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company is in the development stage with no operations, has a net loss of $14,916 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, has a stockholder's deficiency and a working capital deficiency of $53,363 as of September 30, 2012, and has cash used in operations from re-entering the development stage of $180,361. 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 further implement its business plan and raise capital. The financial statements do not included any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

History of the Company

To review the History of the Company, see Part 1, Item 1 of our annual report filed for the Period December 31, 2011.  That note is hereby  incorporated by reference into this Part 1, Item 2.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We are in the development stage with no revenue and have an accumulated deficit of $339,491 and cash used in operations of $180,361 from January 1, 2003 (re-entering the development stage) to September 30, 2012, and a stockholder's deficiency and a working capital deficiency of $53,363 as of September 30, 2012.

 

The Company currently does not have enough cash to satisfy its minimum cash requirements for the next twelve months. The Company is going to rely on loans from our officers and directors to meet the short term cash requirements. However, the present state of the Company's liquidity and capital resources 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.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer (whom we refer to in this periodic report as our Certifying Officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Certifying Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2012, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act.  Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

 
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.  There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Our management, including our Certifying 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 the controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
  
Our Certifying Officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  Based on this evaluation, he concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of September 30, 2012.
