MASS HYSTERIA ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, INC.

 (A Development-Stage Company)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FEBRUARY 28, 2014

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

Michael Lambert, Inc. (MLI) was incorporated in Nevada on November 2, 2005.  MLI was in the business of manufacturing handbags, but ceased operations in June 2009.

 

On June 9, 2009, the Company entered into a material definitive agreement with Belmont Partners, LLC by which Belmont acquired 11,286 shares of the Companys common stock in a private transaction. Following the transaction, Belmont Partners, LLC controlled approximately 85.41% of the Companys outstanding capital stock.  


To better reflect the Companys new business plan, on June 25, 2009, MLI changed its name to Mass Hysteria Entertainment Company, Inc. (Mass Hysteria or the Company). The Company is an innovative motion picture production company that produces branded young adult film content for theatrical, DVD, and television distribution. The Companys plan is to produce a minimum of three theatrical films a year that appeal specifically to the youth market.

 

On August 5, 2009 (date of Inception for financial reporting purposes), Daniel Grodnik was appointed as the Company's President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chairman of the Board and Secretary. Mr. Grodnik has worked in the movie industry for almost thirty years. He has served as the Chairman and CEO of the National Lampoon, a publicly-traded entertainment company. On August 5, 2009, pursuant to the terms of a stock purchase agreement, an affiliate of Mr. Grodnik purchased a total of 7,985 shares of issued and outstanding common stock of The Company from Belmont Partners. At this time, Belmont Partners designee was the sole officer and director of the Company.  In addition to the shares sold by Belmont Partners, the Company also issued 42,015 shares to Mr. Grodnik and certain affiliated parties in connection with the change of control (the Control Group). The total of 50,000 shares were issued to, or purchased by, Daniel Grodnik and the affiliated parties represents 74.6% of the shares of outstanding common stock of the Company at the time of transfer. For financial accounting purposes, this change in control by the Company was treated as a recapitalization with the assets contributed and liabilities assumed recorded at their historical basis. There were no assets significant acquired by the Company shareholders upon the change in control, which would have been recorded at fair value.  

 

The Company is entering a time of great change in the entertainment business. The motion picture business has had four significant revenue streams (theatrical, home video, cable and broadcast) since the early 1980's. Today, home video is in decline and new profit centers are opening up such as video-on-demand and internet portals that rely on micro-transactions.  The Company is endeavoring to be a company at the forefront of creating new revenue streams as they relate to the motion picture experience. Over the next twelve months, Mass Hysteria plans to create movies that will take advantage of traditional revenue streams that are still viable, and at the same time, identifying those revenue streams that will define new media's involvement in the film business such as downloading applications to smart phones that will allow the theater-goer to "participate" with the on-screen experience (the side-kick technology). Our plan is to combine these entertainment experiences into an alternative theatrical experience for young adults. Technology is evolving, too.  Interactive mobile applications are in development by third parties.  The Company expects to license or develop our own mobile applications in the near future, depending on our ability to raise capital and generate traditional sources of revenues.  There are technology and competitive risks associated with interactive mobile devices and theatrical films.

Diluted loss per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  In loss periods, dilutive common equivalent shares are excluded as the effect would be anti-dilutive. At February 28, 2014, the Companys dilutive securities outstanding consisted of (1) the CEOs options to purchase shares of common stock, for which the exercise price is above the average closing price of the Companys common stock and thus excluded under the treasury method; (2) 6,768 shares relative to convertible notes to a related party expected to be issued (post conversion) beginning in February 2015; , (3) approximately 142,381,475 shares relative to convertible notes (post conversion), and (4) 1,000,000 warrants to purchase common stock. The preceding common equivalent was excluded from the diluted net loss per share as the effects would have been anti-dilutive.




NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company is a development-stage company, has limited available capital, and has limited revenues from intended operations, suffered losses since inception and used cash in operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. We are seeking debt or equity capital to meet our obligations and business needs. There is no assurance that future capital raising plans will be successful in obtaining sufficient funds to assure the eventual profitability of the Company. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties. At February 28, 2014, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $11,546,737.

 

NOTE 4 - ACCRUED LIABILITIES


Accrued liabilities by major classification are as follows: 

 

February 28, 2014

November 30,  2013

Accrued interest

 $                  195,861

 $                  182,305

Accrued interest represents interest on a long-term loan from a related party, and the interest on a short term notes payable to external parties.  Accrued consulting fees are for scriptwriters and a film consultant.  


Based on the CEOs employment agreement, the Company accrues $30,000 per month for gross wages, while the CEO receives payments at various times only as cash becomes available. The CEOs compensation is required to be reported on Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-2; however, the Company has made no such reporting.  Payroll taxes are accrued for the CEOs salary to properly reflect the amount of expense related to his compensation, which includes the contemplation of penalties and interest.  In the event the IRS audits the Company, it will likely be liable for certain taxes, penalties and interest.  


The Company entered into an employment agreement as of February 3, 2012 with its former Chief Financial Officer, which provided for a base salary of $90,000 per year, payable monthly, on a month-to-month basis. The Company will pay these wages only as cash becomes available. The agreement was terminated on May 31, 2013 and no wages have been paid to date.


Accrued payroll is as follows:

NOTE 5 - BORROWINGS


Short-Term Debt


(A)  

Related Parties


On February 28, 2012, the Companys former Chief Financial Officer made an interest free demand advance of $30,000 to provide working capital, which remains outstanding at February 28, 2014. The Note was recorded at its estimated fair value of $27,778 at the acquisition date, and imputed interest was being accreted to non-cash interest expense to the maturity date, using an 8% interest rate.  No demand for payment has been made and the note remains unpaid.


On July 13, 2010, March 22, 2012 and October 25, 2012, the Company borrowed $60,000, $50,000 and $10,000, respectively, from a shareholder for use as operating capital.  On September 12, 2012, the Company, the shareholder and an external party entered into an Assignment Agreement whereby the external party agreed to assume $30,000 of the $60,000 July 13, 2010 debt in exchange for a 8% convertible note maturing October 24, 2013 (see Short-term Convertible Debt with Ratchet Provisions noted below).  The due date on the remaining balance of $30,000 of the $60,000 advance was extended to December 31, 2013 and bears interest at the rate of 15% per annum; the due date of the $50,000 advance was March 7, 2013 and it bore interest at the rates of 15% per annum through March 7, 2013 and 18% per annum interest thereafter if the repayment date is extended; and the $10,000 advance is payable on demand at an interest rate of 15% per annum.


During the three months ended February 28, 2014, the Company incurred and accrued $3,403 in interest expense, respectively, related to this short-term debt. As of February 28, 2014, the Company has accrued a total of $43,300 of interest expense related to these notes.

(B)  

Film Finance Agreement

 

On May 11, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with Coral Ridge Capital Partners, LLC (CRCP) under which CRCP agreed to provide up to $300,000 in equity financing towards the production of the motion picture currently entitled End of the Gun (the "Picture"). The initial $100,000 under this agreement was paid on June 12, 2012.   While it was the Companys intent to commence filming of the Picture by September 1, 2012, certain casting delays have postponed the commencement date, to a date yet to be determined.  In the event that the motion picture is abandoned, the Company is required to repay CRCP all funds paid to it, plus interest of 12% per annum. On January 25, 2013 the Company received a written notice of termination of agreement from CRCP and has been negotiating a mutual settlement with CRCP.  Accordingly, the Company has included the $100,000 advance within short-term debt until the status of the Picture has been better determined and has accrued interest payable of $20,581 through February 28, 2014.


Through February 28, 2014, the Company has paid cumulative expenses totaling $14,688 in connection with the Picture, which have been recorded within operating expenses.


Short-term Convertible Debt with Ratchet Provisions


(A)  

Short-term Convertible Debt


On January 11, 2012, March 1, 2012, May 9, 2012, July 9, 2012, September 14, 2012 and September 28, 2012 the Company borrowed $22,500, $10,000, $32,500, $30,000, $22,500 and $10,000 (for a total of $127,500), from external parties for use as operating capital. See below for additional advances made by this party during the year ended November 30, 2013.  The parties entered into convertible notes payable agreements, which make the Company liable for repayment of the principal and 8% annual interest by the various agreements expiration dates which range between October 6, 2012 and June 28, 2013.  If a default is called by the lender (which occurred as noted below) after failure to repay principal or interest when due, among other default provisions including untimely filings with the SEC, a default interest rate of 22% per annum is triggered and retrospectively applied from the notes inception date on the unpaid amount, as well the principal balance is increased by 50% of the face amount of the note deemed in default.


On March 18, 2013 the Company received a notice of default from one of the lenders holding a total of $127,500 of short-term convertible debt at that date. Based upon the foregoing, the Company is now in default under the Notes. Demand was made for the immediate payment of $196,050, representing 150% of the remaining outstanding principal balance together with default interest of 22% as provided for in the Notes.


During December 2012, the Company issued an 8% convertible promissory note to raise $40,000 to pay legal services owed. The Note matured on September 21, 2013, and any unpaid principal or interest at that date accrues interest at the default rate of 22% annually. The note may be converted into common stock, at 41% discount off the average of the lowest three (3) trading prices for the Companys common stock within the ten (10) days preceding the conversion, at any time after 180 days from the issuance date until the maturity date, or, if later, until paid.


8



On January 14, 2013, the Company issued an 8% convertible promissory note to raise $55,000 in operating capital. The Note matured on October 17, 2013, and any unpaid principal or interest at that date accrued interest at the default rate of 22% annually. The note may be converted into common stock, at 59 percent of market price, at any time after 180 days from the issuance date until the maturity date, or, if later, until paid. If a default is called by the lender (which occurred as noted above) after failure to repay principal or interest when due, among other default provisions including untimely filings with the SEC, a default interest rate of 22% per annum is triggered and retrospectively applied from the notes inception date on the unpaid amount, as well the principal balance is increased by 50% of the face amount of the note deemed in default.


On June 12, 2013, the Company issued 8% convertible promissory notes to raise $21,500 in operating capital. This Note matured on March 14, 2014. The note may be converted into common stock, at 45% of the average of the three (3) lowest per share market values during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding a conversion date at any time after 180 days from the issuance date until the maturity date, or, if later, until paid. . If a default is called by the lender (which occurred as noted above) after failure to repay principal or interest when due, among other default provisions including untimely filings with the SEC, a default interest rate of 22% per annum is triggered and retrospectively applied from the notes inception date on the unpaid amount, as well the principal balance is increased by 50% of the face amount of the note deemed in default.


On October 14, 2013, the Company issued an 8% convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $20,500 to pay payables that were owed.  The note has a maturity date of July14, 2014. The note is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of forty-five percent (45%) of the average of the lowest trading price per share market values during the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding a conversion date at any time after 180 days from the issuance date until the maturity date. If a default is called by the lender (which occurred as noted above) after failure to repay principal or interest when due, among other default provisions including untimely filings with the SEC, a default interest rate of 22% per annum is triggered and retrospectively applied from the notes inception date on the unpaid amount, as well the principal balance is increased by 50% of the face amount of the note deemed in default.


The Company discounts the notes by the fair market value of the derivative liability upon inception of each note. These discounts are accreted back to the face value of the notes over the note term using the effective interest method.

 

(B)  

Determination of Derivative Liability

 

The Company calculated the derivative liability using the Black-Scholes pricing model for each note upon inception and recorded the fair market value of the derivative liability as a discount to the note. When a derivative liability associated with a convertible note is in excess of the face value of the convertible note, the excess of fair value of derivative is charged to the statement of operations.

 

The derivative liabilities associated with these convertible notes were revalued during the period as principal was converted, using the Black-Scholes Model with the below range of inputs. Upon conversion of all or a portion of the convertible notes, the derivative liability associated with the principal converted is valued immediately before conversion using the Black-Scholes model. The change in fair value of the derivative liability associated with the principal converted is recorded as a gain/loss on fair value of derivative liability in the accompanying statement of operation, with the remaining value of that portion of the derivative liability written off with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital.



9



As of February 28, 2014, the Company has outstanding principal amounts on convertible debt of $275,322. At the inception of these notes, they were fully discounted due to the associated derivative liabilities. Aggregate remaining discounts on convertible notes to be accreted over the life of each respective note on an effective interest method are $14,416 as of February 28, 2014. For the three months ended February 28, 2014, interest expense from accretion of the discount, including converted notes, was $11,735.


Aggregate derivative liabilities associated with remaining convertible notes were $1,013,834 as of February 28, 2014. Based on this revaluation at quarter end and the revaluation of derivative liabilities measured during the period immediately before extinguishment of associated convertible notes, the Company recognized a net loss in fair value of derivative liability of $821,796 during the three months ended February 28, 2014.

    

As of February 28, 2014, the range of inputs used to calculate derivative liabilities noted above were as follows:

 Long-term Convertible Debt   

 

On March 31, 2011, the Company borrowed $200,000 from an external party for use as operating capital.  The parties entered into a long-term convertible note agreement, which makes the Company liable for repayment of the principal and 2% annual interest by the agreements expiration date of December 28, 2014.  Beginning September 27, 2011, the note is convertible into shares of our common stock at a fixed conversion price of $16.00 per share. As a result, the Company will be liable to issue up to 12,500 shares common stock upon conversion.  Based on a $22 closing price on the day of note agreement, we recorded a discount of $75,000 as a result of the beneficial conversion feature (BCF). As such, the Company discounted the note by the value of the BCF upon inception of the note.   During the three months ended February 28, 2014, interest expense from accretion of the discount was $2,522, leaving a remaining discount of $19,162.  The discount being amortized approximates the effective interest method over the term of the note.


Former Related Party

 

At February 28, 2014, the Company has convertible notes totaling $453,061 due to a former affiliate and former significant stockholder of the Company. The notes are convertible into common shares, based on $40 to $80 share price, most of which is at the higher price.  The convertible notes bear interest at 6% per annum and are due May 31, 2015.   As of February 28, 2014, the Company has accrued $116,007 of interest expense related to these notes.

NOTE 6 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


On March 4, 2014, Coral Ridge Capital Partners, LLC filed an action against the Company in the Superior Court for Los Angeles County, Los Angeles, CA, seeking to recover the $100,000 in production funding advanced to the Company, plus interest and attorneys fees.  The Company has retained legal counsel in connection with the action and has already reserved $120,000 in short-term liabilities for this action.


On March 4, 2014, the Company entered into a series of Agreements with Iconic Holdings, LLC pursuant to which (1) Iconic agreed to invest a total of $25,000 in the Company pursuant to a convertible promissory note in that amount, subject to an original issue discount of $5,000 to cover due diligence and legal costs, resulting in a net to the Company of $20,000; and (2) to acquire a portion of an outstanding $200,000 principal amount loan from the current holder.  The new note issued to Iconic is a 12 month note dated February 24, 2014, but not funded until March 4, 2014, bearing interest at 10% and convertible into common stock at any time at the election of the holder at the lower of $0.001 per share or 50% of the lowest trading price of the common stock during the 20 consecutive trading days prior to the conversion election.  Iconic also acquired $50,000 in principal amount of the outstanding $200,000 note from a current debt holder with an option to acquire an additional $50,000 in principal of that same note


On March 24, 2014, the Company entered into a series of Agreements with LG Capital Funding, LLC pursuant to which (1) LG Capital agreed to invest a total of $26,500 in the Company pursuant to a convertible promissory note in that amount, subject to an original issue discount of $1,500 to cover due diligence and legal costs, resulting in a net to the Company of $25,000; and (2) to acquire a portion of an outstanding $200,000 principal amount loan from a current debt holder.  The new note issued to LG Capital is a 12 month note dated March 24, 2014, bearing interest at 10% and convertible into common stock at any time after six months from the date of issue, at the election of the holder, at 50% of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock during the 15 consecutive trading days prior to the conversion election.  LG Capital also agreed to acquire up to $100,000 in principal and $5,000 in accrued interest on the outstanding $200,000 note, in payments of $42,500 made at closing on March 24, 2014, and two subsequent installments of $31,500 each 45 days after the prior payment.  In the event that LG Capital does not make the subsequent installment payments, the original note remains in full effect in the then reduced principal amount.

SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS INVOLVE KNOWN AND UNKNOWN RISKS, UNCERTAINTIES AND OTHER FACTORS WHICH MAY CAUSE THE ACTUAL RESULTS, PERFORMANCE OR ACHIEVEMENTS OF MASS HYSTERIA ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, INC. (THE COMPANY, WE, US OR OUR) TO BE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT FROM ANY FUTURE RESULTS, PERFORMANCE OR ACHIEVEMENTS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED BY SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. REFERENCES IN THIS FORM 10-Q, UNLESS ANOTHER DATE IS STATED, ARE TO FEBRUARY 28, 2014.


General


We were incorporated in Nevada on November 2, 2005 under the name Michael Lambert, Inc..  Until August 5, 2009 we manufactured handbags.  On August 5, 2009 (the Effective Date), pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement, Daniel Grodnik (our Chief Executive Officer) and affiliated parties purchased a total of 7,985 shares of our issued and outstanding common stock (the Change of Control). This constituted a majority control of the Company.  In addition to the shares purchased, the Company also issued 42,015 shares to Daniel Grodnik and certain affiliated parties in connection with the Change of Control.  The total of 50,000 shares issued to Daniel Grodnik and the affiliated parties represented 74.6% of the shares of outstanding common stock of the Company as of the Effective Date.  


In connection with the Change of Control, we changed our name to Mass Hysteria Entertainment Company, Inc. (we, us, the Company, or Mass Hysteria) and also changed our business plan.  We are now a development stage multi-media entertainment company created to produce feature films for theatrical, DVD, video on demand (VOD) and television distribution with an interactive component for commercial, documentary and educational film market.  Our plan is to eventually produce a minimum of two original interactive theatrical films annually, and also create a second screen (mobile) experience for non-Mass Hysteria films.  In addition, we intend to continue creating traditional film and television projects.


Plan of Operations


We are in the development stage and consequently is subject to the risks associated with development stage companies, including the need for additional financing; the uncertainty of the Companys technology and intellectual property resulting in successful commercial products or services as well as the marketing and customer acceptance of such products or services; competition from larger organizations and dependence on key personnel. To achieve successful operations, the Company will require additional capital to finance the acquisition of film properties and their attendant costs, further development of our interactive technology, marketing and the creation and rendering of second screen content for original and repurposed movies for interactivity. No assurance can be given as to the timing or ultimate success of obtaining future funding.


Over the next twelve months, Mass Hysteria intends to develop at least one short-film to be interactive with a custom built application (App) and beta test it with a live audience. 


12


 We intend to outsource the building and testing of the App that will allow audiences to interact, via their handset, between the theatrical movies, other audience members and a cloud server. The nature of the interaction involves social connectivity, conversation between audience members narrative extensions, in-experience gaming and content acquisition. The three core



innovations are a mobile app, a mobile website and specially designed cloud architecture -- together these three technologies, named SideKick, will create what we believe to be a unique immersive quality that can offer each theatrical audience member a customizable and sharable movie entertainment experience. 


We also intend to enter into negotiations with leading entertainment companies with similar objectives and technologies relating to the creation and exhibition of an interactive viewing experience, with the objective of exploring possible joint ventures and mergers to combine synergies and expertise in the interactive area.

 

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS


RESULTS OF OPERATION FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2014 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2013


We had no revenue for the three months ended February 28, 2014 and 2013.  The lack of revenue in both periods is due to the establishing and operationalization of our business plan.  As we begin to meet our business plan goals, we expect to generate revenue in the future. In the period from August 5, 2009 ("Inception") to date, we have assembled our management team, developed its intellectual property, and are continuing to implement our marketing and merchandising strategies.  We are endeavoring to be a company at the forefront of creating new revenue streams as they relate to the motion picture experience. Mass Hysteria intends to create movies that take advantage of traditional revenue streams that are still viable, and at the same time, identifying those revenue streams that will define new media's involvement in the film business such as downloading applications to smart phones that will allow the theater-goer to "participate" with the on-screen experience. Our plan is to combine these entertainment experiences into an alternative theatrical experience for young adults. We expect to license or develop our own mobile applications in the near future, depending on our ability to raise capital and generate traditional sources of revenues.  


For the three months ended February 28, 2014, we had general and administrative expenses of $253,087; interest expense of $34,928, and loss in fair value of derivative liability of $821,796.  For the three months ended February 28, 2013, we had general and administrative expenses of $236,240; interest expense of $75,211, excess fair value of derivative of $26,838, and gain in fair value of derivative liability of $74,868. Whereas general and administrative expenses are relatively consistent period over period, interest expense is a function of debt issued and accretion of discounts recognized that are unique to the period based on borrowings. In addition, the change in fair value of derivative liabilities changes period to period based on changing variables included in the Black Scholes option pricing model including the stock price on the day of valuation and the related effective conversion price.


We had a net loss of $1,109,811, for the three months ended February 28, 2014, as compared to a net loss from of $263,421, for the three months ended February 28, 2013. The primary reason for the increased net loss is due to the loss on fair value of derivative liability noted above.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


We had total assets of $4,781 as of February 28, 2014, consisting of $2,781 in cash, and $2,000 in capitalized film costs. We had a working capital deficit of $3,694,380.


We had total liabilities of $3,877,999 as of February 28, 2014, consisting of current liabilities, which included $172,740 of accounts payable; accrued liabilities of $469,322, accrued payroll of $832,857; related party advances of $2,860, short-term debt of $240,581; short-term convertible debt of $260,906 in stand ready obligation of $250,000, derivative liability of $1,013,834, convertible debt with a balance of $453,061, and convertible long-term debt of $180,838.



13

We had a total stockholders deficit of $3,873,218 as of February 28, 2014, and an accumulated deficit as of February 28, 2014 of $11,546,737.


We had $88 in net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended February 28, 2014, which included $1,109,811 in net loss, offset by $116,000 in share-based compensation, $14,257 in amortization of discount on short-term debt, and changes in operating assets and liabilities totaling $157,670. We also had an $821,796 change in fair value of derivative liability. We had $2,860 provided by financing activities from related party advances.

 

Since we have no liquidity and have suffered losses, we depend to a great degree on the ability to attract external financing in order to conduct our business activities and expand our operations.   These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.  If we are unable to raise additional capital from conventional sources, including increases in related party and non-related party loans and/or additional sales of stock, we may be forced to curtail or cease our operations. Even if we are able to continue our operations, the failure to obtain financing could have a substantial adverse effect on our business and financial results. We have no commitments to provide us with financing in the future, other than described above.  Our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph raising substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern in our most recent annual filing.

  

In the future, we may be required to seek additional capital by selling debt or equity securities, selling assets, or otherwise be required to bring cash flows in balance when it approaches a condition of cash insufficiency. The sale of additional equity securities, if accomplished, and the conversion of convertible debt, if converted, may result in dilution to our shareholders. We cannot provide assure, however, that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


None.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


As a smaller reporting company as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this item.


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "Evaluation Date"), have concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. They were deemed not effective due to adjustment and disclosure omissions. The Company will continue to take steps to identify matters of accounting and disclosure. 

 

(b)   Changes in internal control over financial reporting. During the quarter ended February 28, 2014 we retained the services of an outside services firm to assist with closing of our books and records, and prepare our quarterly and annual filings with the SEC. This firm was not engaged for enough time during the period ended February 28, 2014 to have a material effect on our internal controls over financial reporting, but we anticipate that they will in future periods.

14




Because of its inherent limitations, 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 because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.


INHERENT LIMITATIONS OF INTERNAL CONTROLS

 

Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: 

 

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with the U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

 

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Management does not expect that our internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Also, any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to the risk that those internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in business conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
