Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

Except for historical information, this annual report contains forward-looking statements.  Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, statements regarding our business strategy, future revenues and anticipated costs and expenses.  Such forward-looking statements include, among others, those statements including the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “believes” and similar language.  Our actual results may differ significantly from those projected in the forward-looking statements.  Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the sections “Business,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”  You should carefully review the risks described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report.  We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to the forward-looking statements or reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document.

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements.

 

All references in this Form 10-K to “Company,” “Load Guard Logistics,” “Load Guard,” “we,” “us” or “our” mean Load Guard Logistics, Inc. and its subsidiary, LGT, Inc., through which we conduct our activities, unless otherwise indicated.

 

Item 1.      Business

 

Business Development  

 

Load Guard Logistics, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 16, 2011, as Load Guard Transportation, Inc.  The Company changed its name to Load Guard Logistics, Inc. on November 6, 2012.  Load Guard Logistics, incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary in the State of Florida on March 18, 2011, called LGT, Inc. Our fiscal year end is October 31.  The company's business address is 6317 SW 16th Street, Miami, FL  33155. The telephone number is 786-505-4434. 

 

Load Guard Logistics, Inc. has revenues of $339,926 and had a net loss of $3,782 for the year ended October 31, 2013, and had $52,186 of cash on hand at October 31, 2013.  In addition to revenues, we have relied upon the sale of our securities to our corporate officers and directors and to unrelated shareholders.

 

Load Guard has never declared bankruptcy, been in receivership, or involved in any kind of legal proceeding. 

 

Principal Products, Services and Their Markets

 

We are a transportation and logistics company engaged primarily in hauling truckload shipments of general commodities in both interstate and intrastate commerce. Our truckload shipments are comprised of regional short-haul transport of a variety of consumer nondurable products and other commodities in truckload quantities within geographic regions across the United States using dry van trailers.  We can operate throughout the 48 contiguous U.S. states pursuant to operating authority, both common and contract, granted by the DOT and pursuant to intrastate authority granted by various U.S. states. The principal types of freight we transport include retail store merchandise, consumer and grocery products and manufactured products. We focus on transporting consumer nondurable products that generally ship more consistently throughout the year and whose volumes are generally more stable during a slowdown in the economy.

We aim to provide superior on-time customer service for our brokers.  We do this by maintaining our equipment in the best possible condition and monitoring our drivers on performance.  We are not large enough to engage specific shippers directly, so we focus on building relationships with large brokers.  By providing reliable service to our brokers, we have been able to obtain repeat contracts and are offered more lucrative routes on occasion. Being based in Miami, FL we strive to serve mainly the southern states.  We frequently service FL, AL, SC, NC, LA, MS, GA, and TX.  We occasionally will go further north and provide service to states such as IN, VA, OH and IL.  We try to maintain routes with whom our drivers are most familiar, for consistency and to avoid extreme weather conditions in the winter months. 

 

As we grow our business, we will aim to deal directly with customers on their shipping needs.  At this time we are not equipped to provide consistent service to select customers, and as a consequence large trucking companies and brokers dominate direct access to shippers.  While brokers are reliable for finding loads and for providing quick payment, they are also earning fees for these services.  Further, brokers advertise their loads internally amongst all brokers and externally on their websites.  Small trucking companies, such as ourselves, do actively monitor these postings and all loads are contracted on a first come tender basis.  During slow periods, we can encounter excessive competition for loads on our routes.  For example, we have found that being located in Miami, FL it is frequently difficult for obtaining good rates leaving the state, whereas, we tend to earn a premium on rates coming back to Miami.  We recently added a temperature-controlled (“reefer”) trailer to assist with our shipments out of FL, as we feel we can earn premiums on loads that are perishable and that need to be shipped out of Florida.  Additionally, our reefer can operate as a regular dry van for non-perishable loads.

 

Revenue Equipment

 

As of January 1, 2014, we operated one (1) company tractor and trailer and have three (3) tractors and trailers owned by independent contractors.

 

We currently own the following equipment:

 

·         2005 Freightliner tractor

·         2004 Utility Thermo King 53’ temperature-controlled (reefer) trailer 

 

We generate revenues from the movement of freight.

  

Insurance and Claims

 

The primary risks for which we obtain insurance are cargo loss and damage, personal injury, and property damage.  We maintain insurance with licensed insurance carriers in amounts that are required by our brokers with whom we contract for loads.  Although we believe the aggregate insurance limits should be sufficient to cover reasonably expected claims, it is possible that one or more claims could exceed our aggregate coverage limits.  While we have experienced relatively good conditions in the insurance markets, since inception, an unexpected loss or changing conditions in the insurance market could adversely affect premium levels.  As a result, our insurance and claims expense could increase.  If these expenses increase, if we experience a claim in excess of our coverage limits, or if we experience a claim for which coverage is not provided, our results of operations and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected.

Seasonality

 

In the trucking industry, revenues generally follow a seasonal pattern. Peak freight demand has historically occurred in the months of September, October and November. After the December holiday season and during the remaining winter months, freight volumes are typically lower because some customers reduce shipment levels. Operating expenses historically are higher in the winter months due primarily to decreased fuel efficiency, increased cold weather-related maintenance costs of revenue equipment and increased insurance and claims costs attributed to adverse winter weather conditions. Revenue can also be affected by bad weather, holidays and the number of business days that occur during a given period because revenue is directly related to the available working days of shippers.

 

Employee Associates and Independent Contractors

 

As of January 1, 2014, we employed one (1) driver for the trucking operation and have three (3) service contracts with an independent contractor who provides both a tractor and a driver. Our professional drivers are compensated on a per-mile basis.

 

We also recognize that our independent contractors complement our company-employed drivers. The independent contractors supply their own tractor and driver and are responsible for their operating expenses. Because the independent contractors provide their own tractor, less financial capital is required from us. We intend to maintain our emphasis on independent contractor recruiting, in addition to company driver recruitment.

 

The Company’s officers and directors are the only other employees of the Company at this time.  Francisco Mendez is being paid $500 per week for his services as corporate Secretary and to work with maintaining the equipment and monitoring contractors.  He also has a commercial driver’s license and has agreed to act as a back-up driver.  He will be paid for any loads he delivers in addition to his weekly salary.

 

As of the date of this Report, there are no contracts with any employees or our independent contractors.  Employees and/or our independent contractors can leave and work with other firms at any time.

 

Regulation

 

We are a motor carrier regulated by the Department of Transportation (“DOT”) in the United States. The DOT generally governs matters such as safety requirements, registration to engage in motor carrier operations, drivers’ hours of service and certain mergers, consolidations and acquisitions. A conditional or unsatisfactory DOT safety rating could adversely affect us because some of our customer contracts require a satisfactory rating. Equipment weight and dimensions are also subject to federal, state and international regulations with which we strive to comply.

 

The FMCSA (“Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration”) continues its implementation of the new Compliance, Safety, Accountability (“CSA”) safety initiative, which monitors the safety performance of both individual drivers and carriers. In December 2010, the FMCSA made public on its website the Safety Measurement System (“SMS”), which includes specific safety rating measurement and percentile ranking scores for over 500,000 trucking companies. Through the SMS, the public can access carrier scores and data (including a carrier’s roadside safety inspection, out-of-service and moving violation histories) for five Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (“BASICs”).

All truckload carriers are subject to the hours of service (“HOS”) regulations (the “HOS Regulations”) issued by the FMCSA. In December 2011, the FMCSA adopted and issued a final rule that amended the HOS Regulations as follows: (i) drivers can only use the 34-hour restart once every seven calendar days and the 34-hour period must include two periods between 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.; (ii) drivers may drive only if eight hours or less have passed since the end of the driver’s last off-duty period of at least 30 minutes; (iii) on-duty time does not include any time resting in a parked commercial motor vehicle (“CMV”) and in a moving property-carrying CMV; it does not include up to two hours in the passenger seat immediately before or after the eight consecutive hours in the sleeper-berth; and (iv) driving (or allowing a driver to drive) three or more hours beyond the driving-time limit may be considered an egregious violation and may be subject to the maximum civil penalties. The final rule for the limitations on the minimum 34-hour restarts and the rest breaks is effective on July 1, 2013, and the final rule for the on-duty time and penalties is effective on February 27, 2012. When implemented, more drivers and more trucks may be needed to transport the existing amount of truck freight in the market, and the resulting negative effect would likely be cost increases to carriers, shippers and consumers. We are currently evaluating the new provisions and the expected impact, if any, on our truck productivity and operating costs.

 

Our operations are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, many of which are implemented by the EPA and similar state regulatory agencies. These laws and regulations govern the management of hazardous wastes, discharge of pollutants into the air and surface and underground waters and disposal of certain substances. We do not believe that compliance with these regulations has a material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings and competitive position.

 

The EPA mandated a series of stringent engine emissions standards for all newly manufactured truck engines, which became effective in October 2002, January 2007 and January 2010, resulting in increases in the costs of new trucks. The 2010 regulations required a significant decrease in particulate matter (soot and ash) and nitrogen oxide emitted from on-road diesel engines. Engine manufacturers responded to the 2010 standards by modifying engines to produce cleaner combustion with selective catalytic reduction (“SCR”) or exhaust gas recirculation (“EGR”) technologies to remove pollutants from exhaust gases exiting the combustion chamber. The SCR technology also requires the ongoing periodic use of a urea-based diesel exhaust fluid. Trucks with 2010-standard engines have a higher purchase price than trucks manufactured to meet the 2007 standards, but are more fuel efficient.

 

California also enacted restrictions on transport refrigeration unit (“TRU”) emissions that require companies to operate compliant TRUs in California. The California regulations apply not only to California intrastate carriers, but also to carriers outside of California who wish to enter the state with TRUs. In January 2009, the EPA enabled California to phase in its Low-Emission TRU In-Use Performance Standards over several years. Enforcement of California’s in-use performance standards for TRU engines began in January 2010 for 2002 and older TRUs and will be phased in annually for later model years. We have complied with all compliance deadlines through December 31, 2011, that applied to model year 2004 and older TRU engines. California also required the registration of all California-based TRUs by July 31, 2009. For compliance purposes, we won’t complete the California TRU registration process and thus it is our plan not to transport to California.

 

California also adopted new regulations to improve the fuel efficiency of heavy-duty tractors that pull 53-foot or longer box-type trailers within the state. The tractors and trailers subject to these regulations must either use EPA SmartWay-certified tractors and trailers or retrofit their existing fleet with SmartWay-verified technologies that have been demonstrated to meet or exceed fuel savings percentages specified in the regulations. Examples of these technologies include tractor and trailer aerodynamics packages (such as tractor fairings and trailer skirts) and the use of low-rolling resistance tires on both tractors and trailers. Enforcement of these regulations for 2011 model year equipment began in January 2010, and will be phased in over several years for older equipment. Going forward, we will evaluate the complying with these CARB regulations. We do not currently ship to California and do not plan to add California to our routes.

Industry and Competition

 

The freight transportation industry is highly competitive and includes thousands of trucking and non-asset-based logistics companies. We have no share of the markets we target. Competition for the freight we transport is based primarily on service, efficiency, available capacity and, to some degree, on freight rates alone. We are insignificant in the truckload transportation industry.

 

The principle means of competition in the truckload segment of the industry are service and price, with rate discounting being particularly intense during the economic downturns.  We are forced to compete primarily on the basis of rates, although we strive to offer the best service possible. However, we are dependent on large freight brokers to post rates in public that are then bid on by other smaller trucking companies, such as ourselves, and have no control on what other companies will accept for shipments.  We are striving to build strong service relationships with companies for specific routes in our geographic area.  It is our desire to move toward the dedicated freight segment, whereby we agree to make our equipment and drivers available to a specific customer for shipments over particular routes at specific times.  We feel offering drivers specific routes will further aid us in driver recruitment and retention.  Not being able to get stronger revenues more consistently will hamper our cash flow and thus our ability to purchase newer equipment.  We are extremely sensitive to price fluctuations in fuel, maintenance costs and driver expenses.

Item 7.      Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this annual report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.

Our audited financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make certain estimates and apply judgments. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be important at the time the consolidated financial statements are prepared. Due to the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain, materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions.  On a regular basis, we review our critical accounting policies and how they are applied in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. 

 

While we believe that the historical experience, current trends and other factors considered support the preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, actual results could differ from our estimates and such differences could be material.

Expenses for the years ended October 31, 2013, increased as compared to the period in 2012 as a result of commencing operations in October 2012. 

 

Our fuel costs represented 44% of trucking revenues and fuel surcharges for the year ended October 31, 2013.  This is high for what is expected going forward, however, fuel is one of our largest direct expenses.  Fuel for the periods was high, mainly as a result of our trucking revenues being low on a per mileage basis, due to the competitive tender system of dealing with freight brokers. Wages of $87,870, which represent 30% of trucking revenue for the year ended October 31, 2013, are for the costs of our drivers and the salary one of our officers.  Operations and maintenance costs of $67,298 or 23% of

11


 

 

 

trucking revenue for the year ended October 31, 2013, represents cost related to parts and maintenance of our tractors and trailers as well as general operational expenses, such as for insurance, tolls, and scales. Maintenance costs, as a percentage of trucking revenues, are expected to be consistent in future periods. Professional fees of $32,164 for the year ended October 31, 2013 as compared to $550 for 2012, are primarily due to the cost of filing our S-1 registration statement and continued compliance with the SEC.  We expect professional fees, mainly from legal and accounting, to increase somewhat due to ongoing SEC reporting requirements.  Our general and administrative fees are for general office expenses and other operating costs not directly related to our trucking business.   General and administrative fees increased $15,091for the year ended October 31, 2013 from the comparative period 2012.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

General

 

As of October 31, 2013, the Company had $52,186 in cash and cash equivalents.  The Company expects current cash and operating income to be sufficient to meet its financial needs for continuing operations over the next twelve months.  To meet our need for cash we raised money from our recent Offering.  We sold 476,000 shares for total proceeds of $23,800, prior to closing the Offering on November 1, 2013.  Additionally, our officers and directors have loaned us funds for the purchase of property and equipment.  As of October 31, 2013, Francisco Mendez is owed $25,000 for the sale of his truck to the Company.  This loan is non-interest bearing.  Yosbani Mendez loaned the Company $32,000 for the purchase of a truck and trailer.  The loan carries an interest rate of 8%.  As of October 31, 2013, there was $22,000 still owning on this loan.

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital

 

There is no historical financial information about us on which to base an evaluation of our performance.  We were previously a development stage company and have generated minimal 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 in a highly competitive industry, including limited capital resources, and possible cost overruns due to the price and cost increases in supplies and services.

 

 

12


 

 

 

The Company believes it has enough cash on hand or will be able to generate enough income from operations to pay operating costs for the next twelve months.  However, should there be any unforeseen circumstances, the officers and directors have generally indicated a willingness to provide services and financial contributions if necessary.

 

We have no plans to undertake any product research and development during the next twelve months.  There are also no plans or expectations to acquire or sell any plant or plant equipment in the first year of operations.

 

Liquidity

 

We have no known demands or commitments and are not aware of any events or uncertainties as of October 31, 2013 that will result in or that are reasonably likely to materially increase or decrease our current liquidity.

 

Capital Resources.

 

We had no material commitments for capital expenditures as of October 31, 2013 and 2012.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

 

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 our company.  Management has reviewed the aforementioned rules and releases and believes any effect will not have a material impact on our company's present or future consolidated financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders:

Load Guard Logistics, Inc.

 

We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Load Guard Logistics, Inc. as of October 31, 2013 and the related consolidated statement of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. The consolidated financial statements of Load Guard Logistics, Inc. as of October 31, 2012, were audited by other auditors whose report dated January 30, 2013, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements, except that the report contained an explanatory paragraph stating that there was substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements were free of material misstatement. The Company was not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that were appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements, referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Load Guard Logistics, Inc. as of October 31, 2012 and results of its consolidated operations and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company does not have a history of sustained net income and has earned insufficient revenue to satisfy its operating cash flow requirements. The Company requires additional equity or debt financing to meet the operating and capital cash flows required to fully implement its business plan.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Further information and management's plans in regard to this uncertainty were also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

LOAD GUARD LOGISTICS, INC.

(A Development Stage Company)

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

October 31, 2013 and 2012

 

NOTE 1 -      ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Load Guard Logistics, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation incorporated on March 16, 2011, and is based in Miami, FL.  The company was originally incorporated as Load Guard Transportation, Inc. and changed its name to Load Guard Logistics, Inc. on November 6, 2012.  The Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, “LGT, Inc.” in Florida on March 18, 2011.  The Company’s fiscal year end is October 31.

 

The Company operates as a transportation and delivery services company.  We generate revenues from the actual movement of freight from shippers to consignees as well as serving as a logistics provider by arranging for others to provide the transportation services.

 

NOTE 2 -      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

These financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the wholly-owned subsidiary, LGT, Inc.  All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  The Financial Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) of the United States. 

 

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. The estimates and judgments will also affect the reported amounts for certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these good faith estimates and judgments.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.   These reclassifications had no effect on reported income.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with maturities of three months or less. 

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business.  The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations and generally does not require collateral.  Trade accounts receivable are recorded at their invoiced amounts, net of allowance for doubtful accounts.  The Company evaluates the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts quarterly.  Accounts outstanding longer than contractual payment terms are considered past due and are reviewed individually for collectability.  The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses based upon its loss history and specific receivables aging analysis.  Receivable balances are written off when collection is deemed unlikely.  Management’s evaluation of outstanding balances determined that an allowance, as of October 31, 2013 and 2012 was not considered necessary, based on history and its subsequent collections.

 

21


 

Concentration Risk

For the year ending October 31 2013, the Company recognized revenues from two customers, in the amount
of approximately $195,800 or 67.4% of total revenues.   The same two customers account for approximately $20,500 or 81.1% of total receivables.

 

Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives (5 years).  Historical costs are reviewed and evaluated for their net realizable value of the assets.  The carrying amount of all long-lived assets is evaluated periodically to determine if adjustment to the depreciation period or the unamortized balance is warranted. Based upon its most recent analysis, the Company believes that no impairment of property and equipment existed at October 31, 2013 and 2012.

 

Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  When required impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset.  The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required.  If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset.  When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets.  We did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

 

The Company follows ASC 260, “Earnings per Share,” (“EPS”) which requires presentation of basic EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation.  In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share, for the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012:

The Company has no potentially dilutive securities, such as options or warrants, currently issued and outstanding.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and cash equivalents and related party payables it will likely incur in the near future.  The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness.  At times, its cash and cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits.  The Company’s management plans to assess the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds, and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited.

 

 

 

 

22


 

 

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.

 

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” 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 that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

·         Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities

 

·         Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

·         Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

 

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of October 31, 2013. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Level 1

 

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2

 

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

 

Level 3

 

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable; related party notes payable; and, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of services in accordance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition.”  The Company recognizes revenue only when all of the following criteria have been met:

 

i)         Persuasive evidence for an agreement exists;

ii)        Service has been provided;

23


 

iii)       The fee is fixed or determinable; and

iv)       Collection is reasonably assured.

 

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.  We have reviewed the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the corporation’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration.

                                  

NOTE 3 -      GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY CONSIDERATIONS                

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  As of October 31, 2013, the Company has a loss from operations of $3,782 and negative cash flows from operations of $14,495.  The Company intends to fund operations through equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the year ending October 31, 2014.

 

The ability of the Company to fully commence its operations is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, and execution of its business plan.  In response to these concerns, management intends to raise additional funds through public or private placement offerings and through loans from officers and directors.

 

These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. There can be no assurance that management's plan will be successful.

NOTE 8 -      PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

 

The Company follows ASC 740, Income Taxes.  ASC 740 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse.  ASC 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts which would be provided by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to the net income before provision for income taxes for the following reasons:

Item 9.      Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 

On June 14, 2013, (the “Dismissal Date”), we dismissed Drake Klein Messineo, CPAs, PA (“DKM”) as our independent registered public accounting firm. Our Company’s Board of Directors approved of the dismissal on June 14, 2013. The reports of DKM on the Company’s financial statements for the years ended October 31, 2012 and 2011 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and such reports were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle, except to indicate that there was substantial doubt as to our Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  

 

On June 14, 2013 (the “Engagement Date”), our Company engaged Messineo & Co, CPAs LLC  (“M&Co”), as our new independent registered public accounting firm.  The engagement of M&Co was approved by our Company’s Board of Directors on June 14, 2013.  During the years ended October 31, 2012 and 2011, and through the Engagement Date, we did not consult with M&Co regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements by M&Co, in either case where written or oral advice provided by M&Co would be an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues or (iii) any other matter that was the subject of a disagreement between us and our former auditor or was a reportable event (as described in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) or Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, respectively).

 

Item 9A.    Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective and that material weaknesses described below exists in our internal control over financial reporting based on his evaluation of these controls and procedures as required by paragraph (b) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the chief executive officer also acting as chief financial officer and effected by our 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.

 

28


 

Our evaluation of internal control over financial reporting includes using the COSO framework, an integrated framework for the evaluation of internal controls issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, to identify the risks and control objectives related to the evaluation of our control environment.

 

Based on our evaluation under the frameworks described above, our management concluded that as of October 31, 2013, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective and that a material weakness exists in our internal control over financial reporting.  The material weakness consists of controls associated with segregation of duties.  To address the material weakness we performed additional analyses and other post-closing procedures to ensure that our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).  Notwithstanding this material weakness, management believes that the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, result of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation requirements by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption provided by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the quarter ended October 31, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Item 9B.    Other Information

Code of Ethics

 

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to, among other persons, members of our Board of Directors, our company's officers including our president, chief executive officer and chief financial officer, employees, consultants and advisors. As adopted, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

 

1.      honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

 

2.      full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by us;

 

3.      compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires, among other things, that all of our company's senior officers commit to timely, accurate and consistent disclosure of information; that they maintain confidential information; and that they act with honesty and integrity.

 

32


 

In addition, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics emphasizes that all employees, and particularly senior officers, have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within our company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, and federal and state securities laws. Any senior officer, who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or other irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to our company. Any failure to report such inappropriate or irregular conduct of others is to be treated as a severe disciplinary matter. It is against our company policy to retaliate against any individual who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of our company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by another.

 

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is attached hereto as Exhibit 14. We will provide a copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to any person without charge, upon request. Requests can be sent to: Load Guard Logistics, Inc., 6317 SW 16th St., Miami, FL  33155.

 

Board and Committee Meetings

 

Our Board of Directors currently consists of Messrs. Yosbani and Francisco Mendez. The Board held no formal meetings during the year ended October 31, 2013. As our company develops a more comprehensive Board of Directors, all proceedings will be conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by all the directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the directors. Such resolutions consented to in writing by the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the directors are, according to the Nevada General Corporate Law and our Bylaws, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called and held.

 

Nomination Process

 

As of October 31, 2013, we did not effect any material changes to the procedures by which our shareholders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors does not have a policy with regards to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by our shareholders. Our Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best position to evaluate our company’s requirements as well as the qualifications of each candidate when the board considers a nominee for a position on our Board of Directors. If shareholders wish to recommend candidates directly to our board, they may do so by sending communications to the president of our company at the address on the cover of this annual report.

 

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

Our Board of Directors has determined that it does not have a member of the audit committee that qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K, and is "independent" as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We believe that members of our Board of Directors are capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. We believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated any material revenues to date. In addition, we currently do not have nominating, compensation or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor do we have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our directors do not believe that it is necessary to have such committees because they believe the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the members of our Board of Directors.

Item 12.    Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

 

The following table sets forth, as of January 1, 2014, certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common shares by each shareholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common shares, as well as by each of our current directors and executive officers as a group. Each person has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated.

Beneficial ownership consists of a direct interest in the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated.

(1)           Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on January 1, 2014. As of January 1, 2014, there were 3,623,500 shares of our company’s common stock issued and outstanding.

(2)         Mr. Yosbani Mendez has held the positions of Director since March 16, 2011 and of president, CEO, CFO, treasurer, since March 18, 2011. 

(3)        Mr. Francisco Mendez held the positions of Director since March 16, 2011 and secretary, since March 18, 2011. 

 

Changes in Control

 

We are unaware of any contract or other arrangement or provisions of our Articles or Bylaws the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change of control of our company. There are not any provisions in our Articles or Bylaws, the operation of which would delay, defer, or prevent a change in control of our company.

 

Item 13.    Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

 

Transactions with related persons

 

There have been no transactions since the beginning of our last fiscal year, or any currently proposed transaction, in which the Company was or is to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any related person had or will have a director or indirect material interest.

(2)     Audit-related fees consist of fees billed for professional services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements, but are not reported under “Audit fees.”

 

(3)     Tax fees consist of fees billed for professional services relating to tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice.

 

(4)     All other fees consist of fees billed for all other services.

 

Our Board of Directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.

 

Our Board of Directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our independent auditors and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining our independent auditors’ independence.
