ITEM 1.                DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Specialty Contractors, Inc. ( the “Company” or “SPECIALTY” or “we”) was formed November 18, 2009 under the laws of the State of Nevada. Specialty’s wholly owned subsidiary Texas Deco Pierre, LLC (“TEXAS DECO”) was formed October 15th, 2009 and operates as a subsidiary to Specialty Contractors, Inc. TEXAS DECO began operations in November 2009. TEXAS DECO was divested on February 28, 2013 and simultaneously, the Company acquired Alpha Wise Assets LLC, a company in the home building and home remodeling business.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW:

 

The national economy and the housing market saw strengthening and we saw an increase in sales in our area due to that. The home we have in inventory sold in March 2014 and we are looking for other lots to build on.

 

Business Overview

 

We design, construct, market, and sell single-family homes. The Company was formed as Specialty Contractors, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) was incorporated in Texas in 2009. The Company is in the homebuilding business and our homebuilding operations are solely in Texas.

 

We currently have one home which we completed in late 2013 and sold in 2014.

 

Our operations span all significant aspects of the home building process – from design, construction and sale.

 

Geographic Breakdown of Markets by Segment

 

We operate in the Dallas, Texas area market.

  

Employees

 

We have two employees, our President/CEO and our CFO, and except for the 10,000 shares the President received in 2013 when joining the Company, both are unpaid.

Corporate Offices and Available Information

 

Our corporate offices are located at 1541 E Interstate 30, Suite 140, Rockwall, Texas 75087. Historical information is available on the SEC website at www.sec.gov where our reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K can be viewed. and amendments to these reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(d) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act as soon as reasonably practicable after they are filed with, or furnished to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Copies of the Company’s Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to these reports are available free of charge upon request.

 

Business Strategies

 

We entered the home building market in early 2013 due to the strengthening of the home market nationwide, but especially in the Southwest. Although indicators point to a recovery in the housing market, specifically certain long-term fundamentals which support housing demand, namely population growth and household formation, remain solid, we believe the current positive conditions will be with us in Texas for the foreseeable future. In order to be profitable, we will need to purchase lots at fair prices and drive greater operating efficiencies, as well as control expenses commensurate with our level of deliveries.

 

Our goal is to become a recognized builder in the market in which we operate, which will enable us to achieve powers and economies of scale and differentiate ourselves from many of our competitors.

 

We are committed to customer satisfaction and quality in the homes that we build. We recognize that our future success rests in the ability to deliver quality homes to satisfied customers. We seek to expand our commitment to customer service through a variety of quality initiatives. In addition, our focus remains on attracting and developing quality associates. We plan to use several leadership development and mentoring programs to identify key individuals and prepare them for positions of greater responsibility within our Company.

 

Operating Policies and Procedures

 

We attempt to reduce the effect of certain risks inherent in the housing industry through the following policies and procedures:

 

Design - Our residential construction project(s) are generally located in suburban areas easily accessible through public and personal transportation.

Construction - We design and supervise the development and building of our home(s). Our homes are constructed according to standardized prototypes which are designed and engineered to provide innovative product design while attempting to minimize costs of construction. We generally employ subcontractors for the installation of lot improvements and construction of homes. Agreements with subcontractors are generally short term and provide for a fixed price for labor and materials. We try to rigorously control costs.

 

Materials and Subcontractors - We attempt to maintain efficient operations by utilizing standardized materials available from a variety of sources. In addition, we generally contract with subcontractors to construct our homes.

 

Marketing and Sales - Our residential property(ies) are sold principally through signs and listing the home(s) for sale on the real estate multiple listing service (MLS).

 

Customer Service and Quality Control – Our officers are responsible for customer service and pre-closing quality control inspections as well as responding to post-closing customer needs. Prior to closing, each home is inspected and any necessary completion work is undertaken by us. Our homes are enrolled in a standard limited warranty program which, in general, provides a homebuyer with a one-year warranty for the home’s materials and workmanship, a two-year warranty for the home’s heating, cooling, ventilating, electrical, and plumbing systems, and a 10 year warranty for major structural defects. All of the warranties contain standard exceptions, including, but not limited to, damage caused by the customer.

3
 

 

 

Customer Financing - We sell our homes to customers who generally finance their purchases through mortgages. Independent mortgage financial service entities provides our customers with competitive financing and coordinates and expedites the loan origination transaction through the steps of loan application, loan approval, and closing and title services.

 

Residential Development Activities

 

Our residential development activities include site planning and engineering, and marketing and selling homes. These activities are performed by our officers or associates, together with independent architects, consultants, and contractors.

 

Current base prices for our homes are expected to be in the $180,000 to $220,000 price range. Closings generally occur and are typically reflected in revenues within 12 months of when sales contracts are signed.

 

Seasonality

 

Our business is seasonal in nature and, historically, weather-related problems, typically in the fall, late winter and early spring, can delay starts or closings and increase costs.

 

Competition

 

Our homebuilding operations are highly competitive. We are among the smallest homebuilders in the United States in both homebuilding revenues and home deliveries. We compete with numerous real estate developers in the geographic area in which we operate. Our competition ranges from small local builders to larger regional builders to publicly owned builders and developers, most of which have greater sales and financial resources than we do. Previously owned homes and the availability of rental housing provide additional competition. We compete primarily on the basis of price, location, design, quality, service, and flexibility.

 

Regulation and Environmental Matters

 

We are subject to various local, state, and federal statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations concerning zoning, building design, construction, and similar matters, including local regulations which impose restrictive zoning and density requirements in order to limit the number of homes that can eventually be built within the boundaries of a particular locality. In addition, we are subject to registration and filing requirements in connection with the construction, advertisement, and sale of homes in the state and locality in which we operate even if all necessary government approvals have been obtained. We may also be subject to periodic delays or may be precluded entirely from building due to building moratoriums that could be implemented in the future in the places in which we operate.

 

Environmental Matters

 

We are also subject to a variety of local, state and federal laws and regulations concerning protection of health and the environment (“environmental laws”). The particular environmental laws which apply to any given area according to the community site, the site’s environmental conditions, and the present and former uses of the site. These environmental laws may result in delays, may cause us to incur substantial compliance, remediation, and/or other costs, and prohibit or severely restrict development and homebuilding activity.

 

Marketing Activities

Marketing activities start with sale signs and then move to using real estate brokers familiar with the area.

Our Qualifications

Our qualifications are our reputation and experience in the real estate industry.

Sources and Availability of Raw Material

Our raw materials are purchased from local market wholesalers of stone, brick, and lumber. We use local sub-contractors to do various stages of our construction.

Number of Employees

PUBLIC INFORMATION

 ITEM 7.                MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Summary of 2013

2013 Going Concern

The Company has minimal operations and has cash of $707 and working capital deficit of approximately $22,842 as of December 31, 2013. The Company raised capital through sales of common stock in an offering under an S-1 registration statement filed with the US Securities & Exchange Commission. Since the Company has minimal operations, it is not known how long its capital will last if operations do not become more substantial. If adequate working capital cannot be generated, the Company may not be able to continue its operations.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company filed a Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission whereby the company registered shares to sell a minimum of 90,000 common shares or up to a maximum of 750,000 common shares at $0.75 per share. In February 10, 2011, the Form S-1 became effective. The Company raised $245,876 under the S-1 offering and is now traded on the OTCBB under the symbol SPCN. The stock is thinly traded.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW:

2013 saw the market strengthen and we anticipated selling our home in 2013 but it closed in the first quarter of 2014. Now we are looking for other lots to purchase and build the next home(s).

Fiscal years ended on December 31, 2012 and 2011.

REVENUE: Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013, was $0 and revenue for the period ended December 31, 2012 was $0.

COST OF REVENUES: Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013, was $0 and cost of revenue for the period ended December 31, 2012 was $0.

6
 

OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses were $149,221 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and $30,365 for the period ended December 31, 2012. The increase in costs was due to more activity in the company.

OTHER INCOME. Other income was $2 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and $0 for the period ended December 31, 2012.

NET LOSS. Net loss was $149,219 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and $30,365 for the period ended December 31, 2012.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. The Company had $707 cash on hand at December 31, 2013 and has sufficient access to capital to support its business for the next twelve months, although if we have significant growth we will need additional cash.

In addition to the preceding, the Company plans for liquidity needs on a short-term and long-term basis as follows:

 

Short Term Liquidity:

The Company relies on one primary funding source for short term liquidity needs: advances from the line of credit. The Company owes $28,643 as of December 31, 2013 to a related party for funding expenses and working capital.

Long Term Liquidity:

The long term liquidity needs of the Company are projected to be met primarily through access to building loans. At December 31, 2013, the Company owed $194,622 on a building line of credit.

Material Changes in Financial Condition

 

WORKING CAPITAL: Working capital deficit increased from $365 at December 31, 2012 to $22,842 at December 31, 2013.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates are depreciation expense, reserve for doubtful accounts and interest expense on line of credit.

UNUSUAL EVENTS: None.

FUTURE FINANCIAL CONDITION: The Company is optimistic about its future and the opportunities ahead. Now that the sale of common stock is complete, our Plan of Operations is now in process.

Plan of Operations

The plan of operations for the coming 12 months will include the continued growth plan of the Company and will concentrate in three areas:

1.       Organic growth through existing channels (trade show booth),

2.       Customer Marketing (outdoor living areas: kitchens, patios, gardens)

3.       New markets (strategic alliances with builders)

Lead Generation: Participation at various trade market outlets. The President of the company is the sole representative for the company. He speaks with prospects, follows up on sales leads, and closes all sales opportunities. This process has generated limited success, and the Company believes by leveraging technology and marketing its unique design and build approach, increased revenues can be achieved.

 

7
 

Direct Marketing: We are currently designing an interactive web site that will feature our products offerings, designs developed and constructed, and samples of products and completed projects. With our cost being less than stone we have a competitive advantage that we believe will enable us to gain traction with these product offerings. Through increased marketing and advertising dollars we expect to build brand awareness and reach new customers that are not aware of our products, and gain new customers, both similar to what we currently service and expand our footprint to those mentioned below in new markets.

New Markets: To date, our product offering has been limited to exterior wall applications and exterior surface coating, however, we plan to develop strategic alliances with home builders focusing on our product offerings. These alliances would have our product included in the builders specifications when planning a development. This will be done through the President soliciting builders and presenting the inherent benefits of our products.

We focus on evaluating our financial condition and operating performance based on gross margin and cash flow. Gross margin management includes the management of our cost of sales, more specifically, labor and materials. Regarding material trends (raw materials), uncertainties or events that may reasonably occur affecting financial conditions or revenues include procurement quality of product We expect earnings to grow as the costs associated with starting the business have been absorbed and as inefficiencies with training crews are now no longer an issue.

We are not aware of any economic or industry factors relevant to the Company. We see material opportunities, challenges, and risks in the short and long term. These include the combination of film thickness, film color and adhesive coating is an additional product line, appealing to a broader base of prospects, as well as increased sales opportunities to existing customers. Specialty Contractors evaluates potential demand for additional film types and adds them to inventory when there is sufficient demand. While this boosts sales revenue and is profitable over a period of time, this growth in product inventory is a challenge to both cash flow and to warehouse space. Specialty Contractors is actively prospecting for a larger warehouse and operating facility, as well as additional operating capital. 

Generating Sufficient Revenue:

Since inception, we have generated revenue through advertising, referrals, and word of mouth,. Over the next twelve months we plan to develop our web-based marketing and additional targeted print advertising. The web-based advertising will expose the Company to a different set of demographics and geographies. 

 

Financing Needs

Our cash flows since inception have not been adequate to support on-going operations. As noted above, the Company’s financing needs for the next twelve months can and will be met through the funds raised in our offering. 

Management Advisors

Yorkdale Capital, LLC advises and assists the President with many aspects related to the regulatory filings including assistance with the consolidation of financial statements for the quarterly reviews and year-end audit. Yorkdale Capital, LLC or its principals are also shareholders.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of December 31, 2013. This evaluation was accomplished under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer / principal executive officer, and chief financial officer / principal financial officer who concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that all material information required to be filed in the annual Form 10-K has been made known to them.

For purposes of this section, the term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act (15 U.S.C. 78a et seg.) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure, controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act") is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

8
 

 

Based upon an evaluation conducted for the period ended December 31, 2013, our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer as of December 31, 2013 and as of the date of this Report, has concluded that as of the end of the periods covered by this report, we have identified the following material weaknesses in our internal controls:

 

Reliance upon financial reporting consultants for review of critical accounting areas and disclosures and material non-standard transaction.

 

Lack of sufficient accounting staff which results in a lack of segregation of duties necessary for a good system of internal control.

 

In order to remedy our existing internal control deficiencies, as our finances allow, we will hire additional accounting staff.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed 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 in the United States of America. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework at December 31, 2013. Based on its evaluation, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective because of limited staff and a need for a full-time chief financial officer. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

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 the attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Management’s Remediation Initiatives

As our resources allow, we will add financial personnel to our management team. We plan to prepare written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting to establish a formal process to close our books monthly on an accrual basis and account for all transactions, including equity transactions. We will also create an audit committee made up of our independent directors.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

We have not yet made any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report on Form 10-K that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Members of

Specialty Contractors, Inc.

Rockwall, Texas

 

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Specialty Contractors, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and the related statement of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended and for the period from February 23, 2012 (Inception) through December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

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 are free of material misstatement.  The Company is 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 are 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 also 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Specialty Contractors, Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended and for the period from February 23, 2012 (Inception) through December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company's losses from operations and its working capital deficit raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SPECIALTY CONTRACTORS, INC.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2013

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF ACTIVITIES AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Activities, History and Organization:

 

Specialty Contractors, Inc. (“Specialty”, the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on November 18, 2009.  The Company operates as a home builder in the State of Texas and operates through its wholly owned subsidiary Alpha Wise Assets, LLC, formed in the State of Texas on February 23, 2012.

 

On February 28, 2013, Specialty Contractors, Inc. ("Specialty"), acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Alpha Wise Assets, LLC (“Alpha”).  On February 28, 2013, Specialty purchased 5,970,000 shares of its common stock from its President for $30,000 and simultaneously issued it in exchange for a 100% equity interest in Alpha. Alpha received cash of $50,662 and Accounts Payable of $5,520.  As a result of the transaction, Alpha became the wholly owned subsidiary of Specialty and the shareholders of Alpha owned a majority of the voting stock of Specialty.  The transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization whereby Alpha was considered to be the accounting acquirer as its shareholders controlled of Specialty after the transaction, although Specialty is the legal parent company.  The share exchange was treated as a recapitalization of Specialty.  As such, Alpha (and its historical financial statements) is the continuing entity for financial reporting purposes. The financial statements have been prepared as if Alpha had always been the reporting company and, on the share transaction date, changed its name and reorganized its capital stock.

 

The Company operates on a calendar year-end.   The Company operates in only one business segment.

 

Basis of Accounting and Consolidation:

The Company prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting.  It had one subsidiary, Alpha Wise Assets, LLC, which is consolidated. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated.  Investments in subsidiaries are reported using the consolidation method.

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and all highly liquid financial instruments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase and are stated at cost which approximates market value, which in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

In accordance with the reporting requirements of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements”, the Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under this statement and includes this additional information in the notes to the financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments.

The carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

 

F-6
 

 

Inventory:

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Accumulated cost includes all costs associated with land acquisition and home construction, including interest and taxes are recorded as inventory until the home is sold when those costs are expensed. The Company records these amounts as work in process.  The Company uses the specific identification method for inventory tracking and valuation. 

  

Earnings per Share:

 

Earnings per share (basic) are calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period covered.  As the Company has no potentially dilutive securities, fully diluted earnings per share is equal to earnings per share (basic).

 

Revenue Recognition:

 

The Company records revenues from its homes at the time of transfer of title.

Cost of Revenue:

 

The Costs included in Cost of Revenue are all costs capitalized or expenses relating to a specific home.

Advertising:

Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. The Company’s advertising costs were $100 and $0 in 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Income Taxes:

Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.

Earnings per Share:

Earnings per share (basic) is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period covered. As the Company has no potentially dilutive securities, fully diluted earnings per share is equal to earnings per share (basic)

Stock Based Compensation

Stock based compensation expense is recorded for stock and stock options awarded in return for services rendered. The expense is measured at the grant-date fair value of the award and recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the service period, which is the vesting period. The Company estimates forfeitures that it expects will occur and records expense based upon the number of awards expected to vest.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

 

Management does not expect the future adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncement to have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

F-7
 

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

The Company has an accumulated deficit through December 31, 2013 totaling $179,584 and had negative working capital of $222,842.

The Company has experienced no loan defaults, labor stoppages, legal proceedings or any other operating interruption in 2013. Therefore, these items will not factor into whether the business continues as a going concern, and accordingly, management has not made any plans to dispose of assets or factor receivables to assist in generating working capital.

Management believes that the efforts it has made to promote its operation will continue for the foreseeable future; however, the Company has incurred losses and has had limited revenue. These conditions 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 and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 – LINE OF CREDIT

The Company has a building line of credit (“LOC”) with GCG Ventures. The LOC has a $100,000 credit limit, and bears an interest rate of 5% per annum, due May 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2013, the amount outstanding under this line of credit was $194,622.

The Company has pledged 100% of the inventory owned by Specialty Contractors, Inc. or its affiliates as collateral against this line of credit. The line of credit has no financial covenants.

NOTE 4 – INVENTORY

The Company held one home in inventory at December 31, 2013 which was recorded at the lower of cost or market. Subsequent to December 31, 2013 but prior to the issuance of the financial statements, the home was sold for an amount lower than the cost and impairment of $16,564 was recorded as of December 31, 2013.

NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTY

As of December 31, 2013, the Company was indebted to Yorkdale Capital, LLC for the amount of $25,840. The entity is controlled by the Chief financial officer of the Company. The amount is unsecured, noninterest bearing, and due on demand.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company was indebted to its chief financial officer for the amount of $2,803. This amount is unsecured, noninterest bearing, and due on demand.

 

NOTE 6 – EQUITY - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In March 2013, the Company issued the President 10,000 shares for services valued at $5,100.

In November 2013, the Company issued 150,000 shares for services valued at $76,500 to an affiliate of the Chief Financial Officer.

NOTE 7 INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes reflect the net effect of (a) temporary difference between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes, and (b) net operating loss carryforwards. No net provision for refundable Federal income tax has been made in the accompanying statement of loss because no recoverable taxes were paid previously. Similarly, no deferred tax asset attributable to the net operating loss carryforward has been recognized, as it is not deemed likely to be realized.

 

F-8
 

 

The provision for refundable Federal income tax consists of the following as of December 31, 2013 and 2012:

 

  2013 2012
Current Operations: $28,000 $10,324
Less: Change in Valuation Allowance $(28,000) $(10,324)
Net Provision $0 $0

The cumulative tax effect at the expected tax rate of 34% of significant items comprising the Company’s net deferred tax amounts as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

Deferred Tax Asset Related to:

 

  2013 2012
Net Operating Loss Carryover $81,000 $30,365

 

The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carryforward has been fully reserved. The cumulative net operating loss carry-forward is approximately $81,000 at December 31, 2013, and will expire beginning in 2030.

The realization of deferred tax benefits is contingent upon future earnings and is fully reserved at December 31, 2013.

NOTE 8 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On March 2014, the Company sold the home it had in inventory for $202,000. As a result of this sale, the home was written down to $202,000 from $218564 as an impairment to the value based upon its value at sale subsequent to the balance sheet date.
