NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2011
(Unaudited)
 
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Empirical Ventures, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on April 14, 2004.  The Company is adevelopment stage company. The Company’s plan is to commercialize an enterprise and related software applications. The Company is in the early stages of the software application and infrastructure build out, and has not as yet engaged in revenue producing activities.  The Company will provide products and services to enable the travel and tourism industries to more effectively manage all travel and tourism related services. The Company’s objective was to complete development and pre-marketing activities and to actively market and support a commercial product and to earn revenues from the travel and tourism industries or other related organizations worldwide via the Internet from the Company’s website. The Darrwin software development has since been abandoned due to the obsolescence of the program. The company is currently seeking new business opportunities.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

These financial statements are presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable length of time. As of September 30, 2011 the Company had $1,164 in cash, and accumulated net losses of $171,752 since inception. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Its continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis and to obtain additional financing or refinancing as may be required. The Company will attempt to locate and negotiate with a business entity for the combination of a target company. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in locating or negotiating with any target company. The Company has been formed to provide a method for a foreign or domestic private company to become a reporting company with a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Management's plans for the continuation of the Company as a going concern include financing the Company's operations through issuance of its common stock. If the Company is unable to complete its financing requirements or achieve revenue as projected, it will then modify its expenditures and plan of operations to coincide with the actual financing completed and actual operating revenues. There are no assurances, however, with respect to the future success of these plans.  Unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided in these notes to the financial statements pertain to continuing operations. The Company is not currently earning any revenues.

NOTE 3 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 3 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 
The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes for the year ended June 30, 2011included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of the three month periods ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending June 30, 2012.

Reclassifications
 
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.  These reclassifications had no impact on net earnings, financial position or cash flows.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 these financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Start-up Expenses

The Company has adopted an accounting policy which requires that costs associated with start-up activities be expensed as incurred. Accordingly, start-up costs associated with the Company's formation have been included in the Company's general and administrative expenses for the period from inception on April 14, 2004 to September 30, 2011

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Loss per Share

The Company computed basic and diluted loss per share amounts using generally accepted accounting principles  There are no potentially dilutive shares outstanding and, accordingly, dilutive per share amounts have not been presented in the accompanying statements of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - On July 1, 2008, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("Topic 820"). Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:

NOTE 3 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
 
       Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
 
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
 
Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.
 
The Company’s adoption of fair value measurements and disclosures did not have a material impact on the financial statements and financial statement disclosures.

Income Taxes

The Company records income taxes in accordance with the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” The standard requires, among other provisions, an asset and liability approach to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are provided if based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date.
The amendments in ASU 2013-04 provide guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this update is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. GAAP. The guidance requires an entity to measure those obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The guidance in this Update also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. The amendment in this standard is effective retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. We are evaluating the effect, if any, adoption of ASU No. 2013-04 will have on our financial statements.

In April 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-07, Presentation of Financial Statements (Top 205): Liquidation Basis of Accounting. The objective of ASU No. 2013-07 is to clarify when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting and to provide principles for the measurement of assets and liabilities under the liquidation basis of accounting, as well as any required disclosures. The amendments in this standard is effective prospectively for entities that determine liquidation is imminent during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods therein. We are evaluating the effect, if any, adoption of ASU No. 2013-07 will have on our financial statements.

We are a development stage company. Originally our plan was to commercialize a travel and tourism management program and related software applications.  We have since ceased development stages for our software application and infrastructure build out due to the obsolescence and being cost prohibitive of the initial software application and have not as yet engaged in revenue producing activities.  We are currently seeking new business opportunities and have earned no revenues to date.
 
Corporate Background
 
            Empirical Ventures, Inc. is a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 14, 2004, whose principal executive offices are located in Bellevue Washington.  Originally, our principal business was the further development, and future production, marketing and sales via the Internet of a software product called Darrwin. We are currently seeking new business opportunities and have earned no revenues to date.

About Go-Page
 
The following information has been provided by PsiTech Corporation (“PsiTech”).  PsiTech management has extensive experience in developing in cloud computing technologies, and has gained a deep understanding working with a wide range of enterprises and small businesses to understand the technological marketing needs and challenges they face. PsiTech found that that the average small business owner values and budgets for advertising and promotions through direct mail, media, yellow page listings and that most had a personal social listing but not any kind of online business presence because they do not have either the time or the technical skills to build and manage a website. 

              Go-Page is a mobile device friendly page that displays specifically for small screens. Owners of the website administer their go-page on gopage.com (which website is expressly not incorporated by reference to this filing) to their liking, where they can offer daily deals coupons and incentives.
 
5

 
              Go-Page provides business analytics to track and offer statistical and retail data so that the website owner doesn't have to. It is an enhancement offering to their customers, analogous to a Facebook or Twitter link. Facebook feeds them social status, Go-Page will feed them relevant locale-data.

               It appears that today’s consumers are becoming more present-centered, they are very interested in immediate gratification, and are focused on what is going to benefit them right now. 

               Mobile applications  require a completely different approach, as it is a completely new format of spatially and contextually driven communications – a new marketing language, serving relevant, congruent information to consumers based on where they are and what they’re doing.

               Consumers are looking for specific information or are making quick-decision purchases.
Mobile sites and landing pages must provide simple and direct-response functionality — such as click-to-call features and only the most relevant information

               Effective mobile optimization of websites and “responsive” design, is more than shrinking a webpage down to the size of a smartphone screen. Consumers have an intimate and personal relationship with their devices. People are on the go, the structure of information needs to be entirely different with new properties for maximum user experience. Contextual relevance: The communication should be relevant to the place and the intended user response has to be appropriate given what the individual is likely doing in that place.

              Communications should be simple, elegant and navigable at a glance. The communication should promote immediate consumer action. The goal is to reduce consumer friction to have the consumer do something of value to them right now, up to and including making a purchase…now.

             Many of PsiTech's clients have inquired about PsiTech  building a website for them so they could take advantage of online marketing programs like the daily deal offered by companies like Groupon. They were in need of a website but the process discouraged them; they informed PsiTech that they found that building a website through an online companies  was often too complicated, expensive and confusing.

PsiTech has also discovered that the clients that did have websites were frustrated with their sites being outdated, no contact info, no social links, no special deal promotion capability, and  no understanding of mobile optimization. We recognized the need in the market and set out to create a “hub” webpage that had all their essential information in one page for SMB’s to connect with customers and promote their business online. As online purchases and mobile purchases via tablets and smart-phones increase, SMB survival depends on being visible and found.

              Empirical management believes that Go-Page is a new way to create a dynamic online web-presence to promote and increase sales for your business. Go-Page is all about making webpage building a simple and enjoyable experience, accessible for everyone. Users don’t need to deal with HTML coding or any of the technical aspects of hooking up the site to a domain and hosting. Go-Page is an affordable, easy-to-use, accessible and secure cloud-based web portal that provides SMBs (Server Message Block) with the power to develop and maintain professionally designed webpages or “Go-Pages”. Go-Pages are search engine optimized (SEO) – visibility; and formatted for computers, smartphones and tablets – mobility. Server Message Block operates as an application-layer network protocol mainly used for providing shared access to files, printers, serial ports, and miscellaneous communications between nodes on a network. It also provides an authenticated inter-process communication mechanism.

The Business Opportunity

                How people find, gather and sort information has radically evolved in the last few years and is constantly changing. Almost all consumers now use online media when researching products or services in their local area.

               The numbers of media sources consumers are using when shopping for products and services in their local area continue to grow. Yet, despite changes in consumer behavior only half of all small businesses have their own website and less than a quarter of those who do have social media links.  Why?
 
6

 
                Management believes that there are two primary reasons for the current state.  First is cost, measured in time and money; many small businesses simply cannot afford the high costs associated with the development and maintenance of their website.  Secondly, many small and medium businesses do not have the internal skill set or aptitude to build and update a basic webpage.  In order to grow, small and medium enterprise has a critical need to market their offerings to existing to current and prospective customers in a cost effective, efficient manner.

                Traditional print advertising is costly and not as effective as it once was. A strong online presence is a must in today’s highly competitive online marketplace. Without a visible, accessible webpage, small business risks losing customers to big business and more business savvy competitors.

Intellectual Property

              To date, we have not been granted any patents, trademarks, franchises, concessions or labor contracts at this time, however, we are preparing applications for trademarks in Canada and the United States and in the future other jurisdictions, and have no assurance of our ability to continue to use such names in association with the sale of our products and services.

                 In the future we will enter into confidentiality and proprietary rights agreements with our employees, consultants and other third parties and control access to software, documentation and other proprietary information and intend to apply for other protections in the form of patents and copyrights if applicable. Failure to provide adequate protection our proprietary rights could expose us to infringement of our rights by other parties and could offer similar services, significantly harming our competitive position and decreasing our revenues
.Government Regulation

                We currently do not require approval of any government to offer our products and services. We do not expect that there will be any governmental regulations on our business. We will voluntarily refuse to accept orders from the following countries: Afghanistan, Angola, Cuba, Democratic People's Republic of Korea [North Korea], Eritrea, Federal Republic of Yugoslavia [Serbia and Montenegro], Iran, Iraq, Liberia, Libya, Myanmar [Burma], Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Syria, and Sudan. We expect no costs or effects of compliance of federal, state and local environmental laws on our business.

Going Concern

We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive activities.

Future Financings

We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund any future business opportunities.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified certain accounting policies, described below, that are most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in the notes to the audited financial statements included in this Annual Report.

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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes for the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the valuation of its business.

Development Stage Enterprise

Our financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. We are a development stage company as we devote substantially all of our efforts to acquiring and developing businesses. Until such business are acquired and developed, we will continue to prepare our financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with entities in the development stage.

ITEM 4.         CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2011, due to the material weaknesses resulting from the Board of Directors not currently having any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K, and controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements.
