Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Stockholders of 

Jeremy N. Stout, Inc. dba The Big Tomato 

Aurora, Colorado

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Jeremy N. Stout, Inc. dba The Big Tomato as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended. 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 audits.

 

We conducted our audits 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 audits 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, based on our audits, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Jeremy N. Stout, Inc. dba The Big Tomato as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Expressed in US dollars)

 

1.

Nature of Operations

 

Jeremy N. Stout, Inc. (d/b/a The Big Tomato) (the “Company”), a subchapter S Corporation, was incorporated in the state of Colorado on February 20, 2001. The Company is an established Denver area store, warehouse distribution facility, and online hydroponics and indoor garden supplier.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company paid net distributions to the two principal shareholders of the Company of $56,267 and $82,500. Contributions from the shareholders consist of assets provided to the Company, and distributions are provided to the shareholders of the Company when there is excess cash available.

 

2.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

 

(a)

Basis of Presentation

 

These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31.

 

 

(b)

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the recoverability of property and equipment, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

 

 

(c)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

 

 

(d)

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on average cost basis. Market is determined based on net realizable value. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration, and other factors in evaluating net realizable value.

 

 

(e)

Property and Equipment

 

Equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

 

Furniture and equipment

 

5 years

 

Leasehold improvements

 

3 years

 

Software and website

 

3 years

 

Vehicles

 

7 years

Notes to the Financial Statements

(f)

Long-lived Assets

 

In accordance with ASC 360, “Property Plant and Equipment”, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

 

 

(g)

Asset Retirement Obligations

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 440, “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations”, which establishes standards for the initial measurement and subsequent accounting for obligations associated with the sale, abandonment or other disposal of long-lived tangible assets arising from the acquisition, construction or development and for normal operations of such assets. The Company did not have any asset retirement obligations at December 31, 2013, and 2012.

 

 

(h)

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company derives the majority of its revenue from the sale of hydroponic and indoor garden supplies at its retail store, in which the products are delivered to the customer immediately. The Company also has an online store, but there are minimal e-commerce sales. The Company recognizes revenue, net of sales tax, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured which is typically when the customer takes possession of the merchandise at the point of sale, or if from the online store, when title transfers upon shipment from the Company’s warehouse.

 

 

(i)

Shipping and Handling

 

The cost of shipping and handling is included in cost of sales and was $2,119 (2012 - $4,197) during the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

 

(j)

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

(k)

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.

 

 

(l)

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures

 

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1

 

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

 

Level 2

 

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

 

Level 3

 

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

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, loan receivable from shareholder, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and loans payable. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

 

 

(m)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Subsequent Events

 

We have evaluated subsequent events through January 15, 2015, and did not have any material recognizable subsequent events with the exception of the following:

 

 

a)

The Company entered into a Shopping Center Lease Agreement which commenced April 1, 2014, and terminates on March 31, 2019. The minimum base rent due under the lease agreement is $5,235 per month for the first year, $5,413 per month for the second year, and $5,568 per month for the remaining term.

 

 

b)

On January 14, 2015, the Company completed a Plan of Merger with Monarch America, Inc.

Each note will be payable in eight equal installments of $125,000 plus interest at 8% per annum. Each note will be secured by all of the assets of the Company and the shares of the Company.

 

 

c)

On January 14, 2015, the Company entered into a two-year employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with each of Jeremy N. Stout and Josh Field for an annual base salary of $120,000 each. Each individual will also be entitled to a bonus based upon the Company’s annual net revenues for 2015 and 2016 as follows: (i) $2,500 for every $10,000 of revenue generated between $400,000 and $460,000, and (ii) $15,000 plus 7.5% of net revenue over $460,000. The agreement prohibits the individuals from competing with the business of the Company during the term of the agreement and for one year thereafter, except if the employee is terminated without cause or as a result of a constructive termination.
