CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the sections entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business,” contains “forward-looking statements” that include information relating to future events, future financial performance, strategies, expectations, competitive environment, regulation and availability of resources.  These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding: proposed new products or services; our statements concerning litigation or other matters; statements concerning projections, predictions, expectations, estimates or forecasts for our business, financial and operating results and future economic performance; statements of management’s goals and objectives; trends affecting our financial condition, results of operations or future prospects; our financing plans or growth strategies; and other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts.  Words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes” and “estimates,” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements.

 

Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by which, that performance or those results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time they are made and/or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause these differences include, but are not limited to:

 

·     our inability to raise additional funds to support operations and capital expenditures;

 

·     our inability to achieve greater and broader market acceptance of our products and services in existing and new market segments;

 

·     our inability to achieve manufacturing and distribution of our products and scaling and delivery of our services in efficient manners;

 

·     our inability to successfully compete against existing and future competitors;

 

·     our inability to manage and maintain the growth of our business;

 

·     our inability to protect our intellectual property rights; and

 

·     other factors discussed under the headings “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business.”

 

               Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws.  If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

BUSINESS

 

With respect to this discussion, the terms “we” “us” “our” and the “Company” refer to HPIL Holding and its consolidated subsidiaries.

(a)

Business Background and Historical Transactions.

 

HPIL Holding is an early stage company originally incorporated on February 17, 2004 in the state of Delaware under the name TNT Designs, Inc.  On October 7, 2009, we merged with and into Trim Nevada, Inc., a Nevada corporation, for the purpose of changing our domicile from Delaware to Nevada. As part of the merger, we changed our name to Trim Holding Group.

 

On May 22, 2012, we changed our name to HPIL Holding to more fully reflect our current business operations.

 

On July 18, 2012, we changed our business plan.  We then began focusing on making investments in companies, whether they are public or private enterprises in differing business sectors, which continues to be a focus of the Company today.  The Company does not restrict the target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and thus seeks to acquire a variety of businesses.  Further, the Company evaluates the acquisition of intellectual properties and technologies for investment, with a particular interest in the healthcare and environmental quality sectors.  Such investments may be made in the United States and worldwide.

 

On September 10, 2012, the Company organized six new subsidiary companies.  Each of these subsidiary companies is wholly owned (100%) by the Company and is incorporated in Nevada.  The names of the subsidiary companies are HPIL HEALTHCARE Inc., HPIL ENERGYTECH Inc., HPIL WORLDFOOD Inc., HPIL REAL ESTATE Inc., HPIL GLOBALCOM Inc. and HPIL ART&CULTURE Inc.  These companies were organized to satisfy the various growth strategies of the Company.

 

HPIL HEALTHCARE Inc. was organized to facilitate investments in the health care sector.  HPIL ENERGYTECH Inc. was organized to facilitate investments in the energy sector.  HPIL WORLDFOOD Inc. was organized to facilitate investments in the food sector.  HPIL REAL ESTATE Inc. was organized to facilitate investments in the real estate sector.  HPIL GLOBALCOM Inc. was organized to facilitate investments in the communication sector and HPIL ART&CULTURE Inc. was organized to facilitate investments in the art and culture sector.

 

On October 16, 2012, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary HPIL HEALTHCARE Inc. was approved to develop certain patents and related business and product owned by the Company related to a “Massage Vibrator for the Relief of Aches and Pain”, and to begin manufacture the Stimulating Massage Device in accordance with the patents.

 

On November 27, 2012, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary HPIL ART&CULTURE Inc. entered into a Cooperation Agreement with the World Traditional Fudokan Shotokan Karate-Do Federation (“WTFSKF”), a worldwide karate federation, to develop and cooperate to expand potential projects between the parties.  The Cooperation Agreement with WTFSKF expired according to its terms on November 27, 2014; however, the parties continue to follow the terms of the Cooperation Agreement.

 

On December 4, 2012, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary HPIL ART&CULTURE Inc. entered into a cooperation agreement with Social Art World Ltd., a private company focused on investing in the art sector. The parties will work cooperatively to develop and expand potential projects.  The December 2012 cooperation agreement has since expired according to its terms in December 2014 and has been replaced by a new cooperation agreement on substantially the same terms executed on December 1, 2014.  Mauro Falaschi, who was appointed as a director of the Company in January 2015, is the founder and currently the president, a director and major shareholder of SOCIAL ART WORLD Ltd.

 

On December 20, 2012, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary HPIL ENERGYTECH Inc. entered into a cooperation agreement with TrueSkill Energen Pvt. Ltd., a private limited company focused on marketing renewable energy products and solutions.  In accordance with the cooperation agreement, the parties will work cooperatively to develop and expand potential projects.  The December 2012 cooperation agreement has since expired according to its terms in December 2013 and the parties continued working together without an agreement in place until executing a new cooperation agreement on substantially the same terms on October 30, 2014.  The Company’s CFO is also the Chairman of the Board of TrueSkill Energen Pvt. Ltd.

On February 22, 2013, HPIL granted to its wholly owned Subsidiary HPIL HEALTHCARE Inc. an exclusive license to use the patents relating to the “Massage Vibrator for the Relief of Aches and Pain” for the production, use, or sale of the resulting products throughout the world and especially in countries where we have the license to the patents rights.  The name of the initial product utilizing the patents rights is “IFLOR, Stimulating Massage Device”, which the Company has authorized HPIL HEALTHCARE Inc. to develop, industrialize and manufacture.  As of the date of this Annual Report, HPIL continues to own the patents and licenses the use of the patents to HPIL HEALTHCARE Inc.  During 2013, the Company did not record any carrying value for these patents rights.  However, during the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company determined that it was appropriate to assign a nominal value to the patents as an asset of the Company.  Therefore, the Company recorded a carrying value of $1.00 for the patents rights related to the IFLOR Business.

 

On August 20, 2013, HPIL GLOBALCOM Inc. entered into a cooperation agreement with 2Evolution Studios, a private company focused on investing in the communication sector, through which the parties agreed to work cooperatively to develop and expand potential projects.

 

On December 20, 2013, HPIL HEALTHCARE Inc. entered into a cooperation agreement with MB Ingenia SRL, a private company focused on investing in the healthcare and environmental sectors, through which the parties agreed to work cooperatively to develop and expand potential projects.  Mr. Louis Bertoli was the President and CEO of MB Ingenia SRL until November 28, 2013, at which time Mr. Louis Bertoli’s brother became President and CEO of MB Ingenia SRL. Mr. Louis Bertoli also serves as an executive officer and director of our Company.

Amendment Agreement to Stock Purchase Agreement

 

On December 15, 2014, the Company entered into an Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment”) with an accredited investor (“Investor”) amending a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) entered into by the Company and Investor on June 12, 2014.  Pursuant to the SPA, the Company sold the Investor Fifty Thousand (50,000) shares of Convertible Preferred Stock Series 1 Class P-2 of the Seller (the “Preferred Shares”) for a total purchase price of Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000).  The Amendment adjusted the purchase price set forth in the SPA upward by the amount of Sixty-Six Thousand Dollars ($66,000), to a total purchase price of Four Hundred Sixteen Thousand Dollars ($416,000).  The Company has received the additional Sixty-Six Thousand Dollars ($66,000) of the purchase price from the Investor.  No additional Shares were issued as a result of the Amendment.

On December 29, 2014, the Company, entered into a Brand License Agreement (the “Brand License Agreement”) with WTFSKF, a worldwide karate federation based in Switzerland.  Pursuant to the Brand License Agreement, WTFSKF has granted to HPIL an exclusive, worldwide, transferrable license (the “License”) to use certain logos, names, and marks of WTFSKF (the “Marks”) and manufacture and sell certain products (clothing, accessories and certain sporting goods) bearing the Marks (the “Products”).

 

Pursuant to the Brand License Agreement, in consideration for the License, beginning in 2018, HPIL will pay to WTFSKF an ongoing license fee equal to five percent (5%) of the revenues from sales of the Products (the “License Fee”).  Additionally, HPIL issued to WTFSKF Seven Hundred Fifty Two Thousand (752,000) shares of treasury common stock of HPIL (the “Shares”; the Shares and the License Fee are collectively referred to as the “License Consideration”) in accordance with the Brand License Agreement

 

WTFSKF has agreed to provide to HPIL annual projected sales forecasts based on its membership and their expected needs for Products (the “Projected Sales”).  The Brand License Agreement requires the License Consideration to be subject to renegotiation by the parties in the event that Projected Sales exceed actual sales of the Products by more than an agreed upon deviation percentage.  Additionally, pursuant to the Brand License Agreement, HPIL may require WTFSKF to either return the Shares or pay to HPIL the market value of the Shares at the time of the execution of the Brand License Agreement (approximately $6,805,600), if HPIL terminates the Brand License Agreement as a result of such deviations within the first fifty-two (52) months after the execution of the Brand License Agreement.  The initial term of the Brand License Agreement lasts until December 31, 2042, at which time the Brand License Agreement will automatically renew for successive twenty-five (25) year terms unless and until either party provides notice of non-renewal or terminates the Brand License Agreement pursuant to the terms of the thereof.

(c)

Business of Issuer.

 

We have continued to pursue our business plan of making investments in companies, as more particularly described in subsection (a) above, and expect that we will continue on that business plan for the foreseeable future.  Also, the Company will continue to concentrate on the development of the IFLOR Business line to produce the IFLOR Stimulating Massage Device through our subsidiary, HPIL HEALTHCARE Inc.  We are currently in the advanced planning stages of our marketing efforts and hope to continue generating interest in the IFLOR Stimulating Massage Device through existing strategic cooperation agreements and other consumer outreach and feedback.  Design and initial molding of the IFLOR Stimulating Massage Device - Standard Version is now complete and we have engaged an initial manufacturer to make product samples related to both the Product Reseller Agreement with WTFSKF and for further marketing and testing purposes.

 

5.


 

 

Pursuant to the recently executed Product Reseller Agreement with WTFSKF, we will supply a total of 1,500,000 units of the IFLOR Stimulating Massage Device - Standard Version over a three (3) year period beginning in January of 2017 (as described above under section (b)).  To meet the initial orders expected under the Product Reseller Agreement, we believe it will be necessary to commence production of the IFLOR Stimulating Massage Device - Standard Version no later than the second quarter of 2016.  Over the next approximately nine (9) months, we plan to finalize the IFLOR Stimulating Massage Device - Standard Version model and related graphic design and packaging that will be sold under the Product Reseller Agreement and present samples to the purchaser for final approval prior to manufacturing.

 

Despite the execution of the Product Reseller Agreement, we have continued through 2014 and intend to continue throughout 2015 to develop potential customer relationships and anticipate pursuing additional potential customer orders for the IFLOR Stimulating Massage Device.  In addition, we continue our evaluations of the results of our past marketing efforts, anticipated demand for the IFLOR Stimulating Massage Device and strategic production efficiencies to meet projected demand.  We plan to continue these evaluations in 2015 parallel with continuing to finalize production details related to the Product Reseller Agreement.  Based on early indications of these evaluations and the expected orders pursuant to the Product Reseller Agreement, we continue to develop an estimation of our target production needs for the IFLOR Stimulating Massage Device.  As of the date of this Annual Report, our production capacity remains insufficient to meet the currently anticipated target production needs related to the Product Reseller Agreement and otherwise expected.  We plan to continue developing our production plans accordingly during 2015, including the potential engagement of additional manufacturers, evaluation of potential first party manufacturing capabilities, and the production of additional molds to increase production capacity in line with projected needs.

 

Our ability to meet our projected production and distribution goals with respect to the IFLOR Stimulating Massage Device may be adversely affected by a number of factors, some of which may include:

 

·        Our inability to generate additional customer orders for the IFLOR Stimulating Massage Device to a level necessitating scaled production and distribution of the IFLOR Stimulating Massage Device;

·        Our inability to produce a sufficient number of additional IFLOR Stimulating Massage Device molds to maintain necessary and efficient production of the IFLOR Stimulating Massage Device to keep up with projected demand;

·        Our inability to produce replacement IFLOR Stimulating Massage Device molds, if existing molds are broken or otherwise become unusable, to keep a sufficient number of molds in active production necessary to keep up with projected demand;

·        Changes in the current business plan, as set forth above, based on our current strategic market studies and evaluations or other currently unknown factors; or

·        Other factors that may affect our ability to reach necessary production capacity in an efficient manner, including, without limitation, acts of God, changes in labor laws, work stoppages, or inability to engage additional manufactures on satisfactory terms.

 

Based on the Product Reseller Agreement, we currently expect to commence operations with respect to production of the IFLOR Stimulating Massage Device - Standard Version no later than the second quarter of 2016.  Additionally, during December 2014, the Company began study and development of the IFLOR Device - Plus Version, and we expect to begin design, molding, product samples and packaging mock ups for marketing testing during 2015.  However, due to various circumstances, such as the unknown definitive completion date of product sample manufacturing and ongoing evaluations being conducted by the Company regarding our prior marketing efforts, expected product demand, additional customer orders, product manufacturing and rollout schedules, our production commencement schedule may be accelerated or delayed.

 

As a result of the recently executed Brand License Agreement, we acquired the exclusive rights to commercially use the WTFSKF Marks in the production and sale of various Products throughout the world beginning in 2018 (as described above under section (b)).  We believe the Brand License Agreement provides us with an opportunity to access a revenue stream that is diversified, but complimentary to, that expected to be derived in relation to the Product Reseller Agreement.

 

6.


 

 

While we are still in the conceptual stages of the line of business that may be developed under the Brand License Agreement, throughout the next approximately thirty (30) months we intend to take steps necessary to bring the Product to market in a timely fashion, chiefly among them:

 

·        Evaluate market demand for the Product, not only among WTFSKF members and fans, but possibly even beyond, and create marketing and sales strategies around the Product to reach our target consumer groups based on these evaluations;

·        Evaluate and engage designers to develop Product concepts and designs consistent with the target consumer; and

·        Evaluate manufacturing and supply chain options to efficiently bring branded Product to various markets throughout the world.

 

Our ability to develop a successful line of business with respect to the Brand License Agreement and related Products may be adversely affected by a number of factors, some of which may include:

 

·        Our inability to adequately or accurately generate or measure demand in the market for the Products;

·        Our inability to create or execute effective marketing and sales strategies around the Product to reach consumers and/or generate interest in and orders for the Product;

·        Our inability to engage designers or develop Product concepts that are economical and appeal to the consumer;

·        Our inability to achieve efficient manufacturing, supply chain, and/or distribution channels;

·        Changes in the current business plan, as set forth above, based on our strategic market studies and evaluations or other currently unknown factors; or

·        Other factors that may affect our ability to reach necessary production, supply, and/or distribution capacity in an efficient manner, including, without limitation, acts of God, changes in labor laws, work stoppages, or inability to engage the necessary business partners on satisfactory terms.

 

During 2014, we entered into two (2) consulting agreements and commenced delivery of services under both.  We have since terminated both of the consulting agreements.  While the consulting agreements generated monthly revenue of $35,000, consulting is an ancillary line of our business, and the termination of the agreements will allow us to focus our full energy and effort on continuing to develop our core business lines, including the IFLOR and the WTFSKF-branded Products business lines.

 

Employees

 

We have commenced only limited operations; therefore, we have no full-time employees.  Our officers, Louis Bertoli and Nitin Amersey, and our directors, Louis Bertoli, Nitin Amersey, John B. Mitchell, John Dunlap, III, and Mauro Falaschi provide services to us on an as-needed basis.  When we commence full operations, we will need to hire full-time management and administrative support staff.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

We have not incurred any expenses with respect to research and development activities up to this point in time.

 

Government Regulation and Standards

Market Information

 

Before we effectuated the merger on October 7, 2009 (as described herein in the Business Background Section), we traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the name TNT Designs, Inc. and trade symbol “TNTD”.  After the merger and change in name and business the Company traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the trade symbol “TRHG”.  On February 23, 2010, TRHG was delisted from the OTC Bulletin Board due to non-timely filings of periodic reports and was subsequently quoted on the Pink Sheets.  Since the Company name change on May 22, 2012 (as described herein in the Business Background Section), our Common Stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board (OTCQB) under the symbol “HPIL.”  Because we have been operating under our new trade symbol for a short duration of time and have only commenced limited operations of our new business and have generated limited revenue from the new business, there has been limited market activity up to this point in time.  The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low bid information for our Common Stock as determined from sporadic quotations on the OTC Bulletin Board.  The following quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not represent actual transactions.

Dividends

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.  We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings to finance the growth and development of our business.

 

Transfer Agent

 

Bay City Transfer Agency and Registrar, Inc. is currently serving as our transfer agent.

 

Common Stock

 

We are authorized to issue 400,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001, of which 57,698,000  shares are issued and outstanding as of April 15, 2015.  Each holder of our shares of our common stock is entitled to one (1) vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders, including the election of directors.  The holders of shares of common stock have no preemptive, conversion, subscription or cumulative voting rights.  There is no provision in our Articles of Incorporation or By-laws that would delay, defer or prevent a change in control of our Company.

 

Preferred Stock

 

We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock. We have designated 25,000,000 shares of our preferred stock as Series 1, Class P-1 stock with a par value of $8.75 per share. We have designated 75,000,000 shares of Series 1, Class P-2 stock with a par value of $7.00 per share.

 

8.


 

 

 

There are no shares of preferred stock (as defined herein) issued and outstanding as of April 15, 2015

 

Each Series 1, Class P-1 share has voting rights equivalent to 100 shares of common stock and is convertible into 1.25 shares of common stock at the discretion of its holder.  Each Series 1, Class P-2 share has voting rights equivalent to 1 share of common stock and is convertible into one share of common stock at the discretion of its holder.

 

Our board of directors has the right, without shareholder approval, to issue preferred shares.  As a result, these preferred shares could be issued quickly and easily, negatively affecting the rights of holders of common shares and could be issued with the intent to delay or prevent a change in control or make removal of management more difficult.  Because we may issue up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock in order to raise capital for our operations, your ownership interest may be diluted, resulting in a shareholder’s percentage of ownership in us decreasing.

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.

 

ITEM 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

(a)

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

 

We are an early stage company focused on developing our business in the Healthcare, Environmental Quality, Energy and Real Estate sectors.  Our principal business objective for the next twelve (12) months will be to continue to develop our business plan in these sectors, continue efforts to bring the IFLOR Stimulating Massage Device to market and begin market and design evaluations of the Products related to the Brand License Agreement (as discussed in Item 1, sections (b) and (c) above).  As we have commenced only limited operations and have yet to reach full operations, particularly with respect to our principal business objectives, the IFLOR Stimulating Massage Device and the Products related to the Brand License Agreement, we have not earned substantial revenues to date other than those revenues generated from two (2) consulting arrangements entered into during 2014, both of which were recently terminated.

 

Net cash used in operating activities.  During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, net cash used in operating activities was $(393,693) compared with $(604,701) used in operating activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.  The cash flow used in operating activities in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, was primarily the result of incurred operating expenses.  The cash flow used in operating activities in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, was primarily the result of incurred operating expenses.

 

Net cash provided by investing activities.  During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, net cash provided by investing activities was $21,064 compared with $(474,973) used in investing activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.  The cash flow provided by investing activities in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, was primarily the result of repayment of advances to related party, partially offset by expenditures for property and equipment.  The cash flow used in investing activities in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, was primarily the result of advances to related parties.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities.  During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, net cash provided by financing activities was $415,975 compared with $1,263,351 provided by financing activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.  The cash flow provided by financing activities in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, was primarily attributable to proceeds from issuance of preferred stock, which was converted to common stock on November 20, 2014.  The cash flow provided by financing activities in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, was primarily derived from proceeds from the issuance of common stock.

 

In the course of its start-up activities, the Company has sustained operating losses and expects to incur an operating loss for the foreseeable future.  Expenses incurred from February 17, 2004, (date of inception) through December 31, 2014, relate primarily to the Company’s formation and general administrative activities.  The Company has generated a limited amount of revenue and has not achieved profitable operations or positive cash flows from operations. These factors and uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Additionally, the report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm on the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 contained an emphasis of a matter paragraph stating this uncertainty.

 

During 2014, the Company entered into two (2) consulting agreements that provided a revenue stream of $35,000 per month.  The consulting agreements have since been mutually terminated by the Company and the counterparties thereto due to lack of ongoing need for the consulting services that were to be rendered under the agreements, allowing the Company to focus our full energy and effort on continuing to develop our core business lines.  Also during 2014, we entered into two (2) long term agreements with WTFSKF  that we expect will begin generating revenue during 2017 and 2018: the Product Reseller Agreement and the Brand License Agreement (each discussed in Item 1, sections (b) above).  In addition, during 2014 the Company raised $416,000 in capital from the sale of preferred stock.  The Company has positive working capital of $418,655  as of December 31, 2014.

 

The Company will continue targeting sources of additional financing to provide continuation of its operations, and the Company’s majority stockholder has indicated his ability to provide financial support to the Company, should it be necessary.  Despite the aforementioned developments in the Company’s financial standing, there is no assurance that we will be able to achieve revenues sufficient to become profitable or that the Company will be able to continue to raise funds, in which case we may be unable to meet our obligations and we may cease operations.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(b)

Results of operations.

 

As we are an early stage company, we have commenced only limited operations and have yet to reach full operations; therefore, we have little operations to report at this time.  Our main focus has been on the development of our business plan.  Aside from the execution of the two (2) consulting agreements during 2014 and recently entering into the Product Reseller Agreement, pursuant to which we will supply the IFLOR Stimulating Massage Device - Standard Version beginning in January of 2017 (as described above under “Significant Business Transactions Overview”), and the Brand License Agreement, pursuant to which we have acquired a license to use certain Marks of WTFSKF for commercial sales of certain Product (clothing, accessories and certain sporting goods) beginning in January of 2018 (as described above under “Significant Business Transactions Overview”), we have made no sales and all expenses to date have related to the development of our business plan and other expenses related to the daily operations of a public company and beginning stages of business activities related to the IFLOR Business.

 

Comparison of Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2014 to Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2013

 

Consulting Revenue.  Consulting revenue increased to $215,000  for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, from nil for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.  The increase in consulting revenue is primarily related to revenue generated pursuant to two (2) agreements for consulting services provided by the Company which were executed and the term of which began in 2014.

 

General and Administrative Expenses.  General and administrative expenses decreased to $585,907  for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, from $663,901 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.  The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily related to lower patent fees, lower travel expenses, and lower professional fees

 

Equity Losses in Unconsolidated Affiliate.  Equity losses in unconsolidated affiliate decreased to $19,682 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, from $261,885 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.  The decrease in equity losses in unconsolidated affiliate is primarily related to the size of the initial impairment charge recorded for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, when it was confirmed that the planned business activities of the subject affiliate would take longer than expected to occur.  The equity losses in unconsolidated affiliate recorded for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 represents the Company’s proportionate shares of the affiliate’s losses for 2014.

 

Net Loss.  For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, we incurred a net loss of $(390,589)  as compared to a net loss of $(925,786) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.  The net loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 was primarily a result of operating expenses partially set off by an increase in consulting revenues and decrease in the equity losses in unconsolidated affiliate.

 

(c)

Off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

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

 

(d)

Inflation.

 

We do not believe that inflation has had in the past or will have in the future any significant negative impact on our operations.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Board of Directors and Stockholders

HPIL Holding and Subsidiaries

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of HPIL Holding and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of HPIL Holding and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s significant cumulative operating losses, limited revenue and negative cash flows raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Nature of Operations

 

HPIL Holding and Subsidiaries (referred to in this report as “HPIL”, the “Company”, “us”, “our” or “we”) (formerly Trim Holding Group) was incorporated on February 17, 2004 in the state of Delaware under the name TNT Designs, Inc. A substantial part of the Company’s activities were involved in developing a business plan to market and distribute fashion products.

 

On June 16, 2009, the majority interest in the Company was purchased in a private agreement by Mr. Louis Bertoli, an individual, with the objective to acquire and/or merge with other businesses.

 

On October 7, 2009, the Company merged with and into Trim Nevada, Inc., which became the surviving corporation. The merger did not result in any change in the Company’s management, assets, liabilities, net worth or location of principal executive offices. However, this merger changed the legal domicile of the Company from Delaware to Nevada where Trim Nevada, Inc. was incorporated. Each outstanding share of TNT Designs, Inc. was automatically converted into one share of the common stock of Trim Nevada, Inc. Pursuant to the merger, the Company changed its name from TNT Designs, Inc. to Trim Holding Group and announced the change in the Company’s business focus to health care and environmental quality sectors. Afterwards the Company determined it no longer needed its inactive subsidiaries, and as such, all three subsidiaries were dissolved.

 

On May 21, 2012, the Company changed its name to HPIL Holding.

 

As of December 31, 2014, the Company has yet to commence substantial operations. Expenses incurred from February 17, 2004 (date of inception) through December 31, 2014 relate to the Company’s formation and general administrative activities. In the course of its start-up activities, the Company has sustained operating losses and expects to incur operating losses in 2015. The Company has generated a limited amount of revenue and has not achieved profitable operations or positive cash flows from operations.  These factors and uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Additionally, the report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm on the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 contained an emphasis of a matter paragraph stating this uncertainty. During 2014, the Company entered into two (2) consulting agreements to provide consulting services generating $35,000 monthly revenue; however, we have since terminated these agreements to focus on our core business objectives.  Moreover, during 2014 we raised over $400,000 in capital from the sale of preferred stock.  The Company will continue targeting sources of additional financing to provide continuation of its operations, and the Company’s majority stockholder has indicated his ability to provide financial support to the Company, should it be necessary.  

 

HPIL Holding’s intends that its main activity will be in the business of investing in differing business sectors.

 

To begin the implementation of the business plan, on September 10, 2012, Company organized six new subsidiary companies. Each of these subsidiary companies is wholly (100%) owned by the Company. The names of the new subsidiary companies were HPIL HEALTHCARE Inc., HPIL ENERGYTECH Inc., HPIL WORLDFOOD Inc., HPIL REAL ESTATE Inc., HPIL GLOBALCOM Inc. and HPIL ART&CULTURE Inc. These companies have been organized to implement the various growth strategies of the Company. HPIL HEALTHCARE Inc. has been organized to facilitate investments in the health care sector. HPIL ENERGYTECH Inc. has been organized to facilitate investments in the energy sector. HPIL WORLDFOOD Inc. has been organized to facilitate investments in the food sector. HPIL REAL ESTATE Inc. has been organized to facilitate investments in the real estate sector. HPIL GLOBALCOM Inc. has been organized to facilitate investments in the communication sector and HPIL ART&CULTURE Inc. has been organized to facilitate investments in the art and culture sector. We intend to make such investments in the United States and worldwide if adequate candidates can be identified.

 

  17.


 

A concentration of the Company has become the development of the IFLOR Business to produce a “Massage Vibrator for the Relief of Aches and Pain” product, the IFLOR Stimulating Massage Device (the “IFLOR Device”), through our subsidiary, HPIL HEALTHCARE Inc.  We are in the planning stages of our marketing efforts and hope to generate interest in the product through existing strategic cooperation agreements and other consumer outreach and feedback.  The Company began design and molding of the IFLOR Device - Standard Version during 2013, and we are in the process to complete production of IFLOR Device - Standard Version samples and packaging mock ups in connection with the Product Reseller Agreement (as defined in the Note 9). During December 2014, the Company began study and development of the IFLOR Device - Plus Version, and we expect to begin design, molding, product samples and packaging mock ups for marketing testing during 2015. Due to various circumstances, such as the unknown definitive completion date of product sample manufacturing and ongoing evaluations being conducted by the Company regarding our prior marketing efforts, expected product demand, product manufacturing and rollout schedules, we cannot currently determine with confidence when we expect to commence operations with respect to production of the IFLOR Device.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

As of December 31, 2014, none of the above subsidiaries have reached full operations.

                            

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

                             

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate

 

The Company utilizes the equity method of accounting, as prescribed by ASC Topic 323 “Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures”, when it is able to exercise significant management influence over the entity’s operations, which generally occurs when HPIL has an ownership interest of between 20% and 50% in an entity. The cost method of accounting is used when the Company does not exercise significant management influence, generally when HPIL has an ownership interest of less than 20%. The Company’s 32% investment in Haesler Real Estate Management SA (“HREM”) is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. As of December 31, 2014, the carrying amount of the investment is equal to the Company’s equity interest of the carrying amount of the net assets of HREM.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Income Taxes

 

                   18.


 

The Company accounts for income taxes whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC Topic 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. This guidance clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold an income tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and applies to all federal or state income tax positions. Each income tax position is assessed using a two-step process. A determination is first made as to whether it is more likely than not that the income tax position will be sustained, based upon technical merits, upon examination by the taxing authorities. If the income tax position is expected to meet the more likely than not criteria, the benefit recorded in the financial statements equals the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon its ultimate settlement.

 

As of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no amounts that are required to be accrued in respect to uncertain tax positions.

 

The Company’s tax returns are not currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or state authorities.  None of the Company’s tax returns have yet been filed, and once filed, will be subject to examination by the IRS for up to three years after they are filed, and up to four years for the respective states.

 

Property and Equipment

 

The Company’s property and equipment consists of molds and designs not yet being used in operations at December 31, 2014.  Once placed into operations, the Company will depreciate these assets over their estimated useful lives, expected to range between 5 and 10 years.  For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has not recorded any depreciation expense related to these assets as they are not yet placed in service.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The carrying value of long-lived assets is reviewed annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company considers internal and external factors relating to each asset, including cash flow, market developments, and other publicly available information. If these factors indicate that the asset will not be recoverable, the carrying value will be adjusted to the estimated fair value.

 

Intangible Assets

 

The Company entered into a brand license agreement (the “Brand License Agreement”) with World Traditional Fudokan Shotokan Karate-Do Federation (the “WTFSKF”), a worldwide karate federation based in Switzerland.  Pursuant to the Brand License Agreement, WTFSKF has granted to the Company an exclusive, worldwide, transferrable license (the “License”) to use certain logos, names, and marks of WTFSKF (the “Marks”) and manufacture and sell certain products (clothing, accessories and sporting goods) bearing the Marks (see Notes 3 and 8 for further discussion of the Brand License Agreement). The Company will amortize the License over the contractual life of the asset of 25 years. No amortization has been recognized as of December 31, 2014, as the Brand License Agreement does not commence until 2018.

 

Net Loss per Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon assumed exercise of preferred stock provided the result is not anti-dilutive.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management has reviewed and recently issued accounting pronouncements and determined that ASU 2014-10 is relevant to the reporting requirements for the Company.  As a result, the Company adopted ASU 2014-10 “Development Stage Entities” (Topic 915) effective January 1, 2014.  The amendments in this Accounting Standards Update no longer require statements to include the definition of a developmental stage company.  In addition, there is no longer a requirement to include 1) inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity, 2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, 3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, or 4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  This new standard provides guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of revenue resulting from contracts with customers and will supersede virtually all of the current revenue recognition guidance under GAAP.  The standard is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this new standard on our consolidated financial statements.  None of the other recently issued accounting pronouncements are expected to significantly affect the Company.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence that an arrangement or contract exists, delivery has occurred, the service provider’s fees are fixed and determinable, and collectability is probable or certain.  Revenue is recognized for services as rendered.

 

NOTE 3 – CAPITAL STOCK

 

On June 28, 2012, pursuant to the terms of a Patent Purchase Agreement made by and between the Company and GIOTOS Ltd. (“GIOTOS”), we issued 100,000,000 shares of common stock to GIOTOS, a company owned and controlled by Mr. Louis Bertoli. The number of shares issued and the purchase price were subject to a valuation of the common stock and of certain patents rights and other related business processes and know-how (“IFLOR Business”), and were to be adjusted based upon the these fair values. The Company subsequently obtained the expected third parties valuations of the common stock and of the IFLOR Business (the “Valuations”).  Based on the Valuations, the Company exercised its right to adjust the amount of shares pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement. 

 

On April 12, 2013, we executed a Closing Agreement with GIOTOS to reduce the purchase price to $12,500,000, and to effect the share adjustment and return 50,000,000 shares to the Company.  As both entities are majority owned and controlled by Mr. Bertoli, assets acquired in transactions between entities under common control should be recorded at the current carrying value of the seller. Increasing the carrying value of the assets acquired to estimated fair value is not permitted under these circumstances. Based on the foregoing, the Company did not record any carrying value for the acquired patents rights related to the IFLOR Business during 2013. Accordingly, the difference between the transaction price and the value of the assets recorded has been recorded in equity as a capital transaction whereby the 50,000,000 shares issued as consideration were recorded to common stock at par value with the offset recorded to additional paid-in capital.  During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company determined that it was appropriate to assign a nominal value to the patents as an asset of the Company.  Therefore, the Company recorded a carrying value of $1.00 for the patents rights related to the IFLOR Business.

On February 27, 2013, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with an accredited investor, pursuant to which Company agreed to sell and investor agreed to purchase 16,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company for a total purchase price of $81,600.

Each one (1) share of Preferred Stock Series 1 Class P-2 is convertible into one (1) share of Common Stock. This beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) has an intrinsic value at the issuance date of $66,000, and is recorded as a preferred dividend to the preferred stockholder. On December 15, 2014, the Company entered into an Amendment Agreement with an accredited investor amending the Stock Purchase Agreement entered into by the Company and Investor on June 12, 2014.  The Amendment Agreement adjusted the purchase price set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement upward by the amount of $66,000, to a total purchase price of $416,000.  The Company has received the additional $66,000 of the purchase price from the Investor.  No additional shares were issued as a result of the Amendment Agreement. During 2014, the Preferred Shares were converted into 50,000 share of common stock of the Company in accordance with the conversion rights of the Convertible Preferred Stock Series 1 Class P-2.

 

On December 29, 2014, the Company, entered into a Brand License Agreement with WTFSKF, a worldwide karate federation based in Switzerland.  Pursuant to the Brand License Agreement, WTFSKF has granted to HPIL an exclusive, worldwide, transferrable license to use certain logos, names, and marks of WTFSKF  and manufacture and sell certain products (clothing, accessories and sporting goods) bearing the Marks.  Pursuant to the Brand License Agreement the Company will pay WTFSKF a license fee equal to 5% of the net selling price for the licensed products sold in accordance with the Brand License Agreement, and in addition as a partial consideration for the License, HPIL issued to WTFSKF 752,000 shares of treasury common stock of HPIL on December 30, 2014 (see Note 8 for further discussion of the Brand License Agreement).

Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the net effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for income tax purposes. The tax effect of primary temporary differences giving rise to the Company deferred tax assets and liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

The Company has recorded a valuation allowance to fully offset the net deferred assets based on the fact that the Company has not recognized taxable income since its inception. At December 31, 2014, the Company has deferred operating loss carry forwards totaling $2,342,584 that may be used to reduce future taxable income. The start-up expenses will begin to be amortized when the Company commences operations, and written off over a fifteen year period.

 

NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The Company adopted the ASC standard regarding fair value measurements. The standard enhances existing guidance for measuring assets and liabilities using fair value. The standard provides a single definition of fair value, together with a framework for measuring it, and requires additional disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard also emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and sets out a fair value hierarchy with the highest priority being quoted prices in active markets. Under the standard, fair value measurements are disclosed by level within that hierarchy.

 

Determining which hierarchical level an asset or liability falls within requires significant judgment. The Company will evaluate its hierarchy disclosures. Hierarchical levels, defined by the standard and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:

 

Level 1 - Inputs were unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 - Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) were either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.

 

Level 3 - Inputs reflected management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration was given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

 

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used by the Company for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

 

Investment in Affiliate Company – The Company recorded an impairment of its investment in an affiliate company to reduce the carrying value to its estimated fair value.  The fair value of the investment was estimated to be the net book value of the affiliate company, based on the nature and values of the underlying assets and liabilities of the affiliate company.

 

The following table summarizes this asset measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

NOTE 7 – IMPAIRMENT CHARGE

 

During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded an impairment charge of $261,885 to adjust the carrying amount of our investment in our unconsolidated affiliate, because of a lack of activity and execution of the business plan within the affiliate company’s operations. During the fourth quarter of 2013, it was confirmed that the planned business activities will take longer than expected to commence, thus a write-down in this investment was deemed appropriate.

 

NOTE 8 – BRAND LICENSE

 

On December 29, 2014, the Company, entered into a Brand License Agreement with WTFSKF, a worldwide karate federation based in Switzerland.  Pursuant to the Brand License Agreement, WTFSKF has granted to HPIL the License to use the Marks of WTFSKF and manufacture and sell the Products bearing the Marks.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

ITEM 9A.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

(a)

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) that are designed to assure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective as of the date of filing this Form 10-K due to limited accounting and reporting personnel and a lack of segregation of duties due to limited financial resources and the size of our Company.  We will need to adopt additional disclosure controls and procedures prior to commencement of material operations. Consistent therewith, on an on-going basis we will evaluate the adequacy of our controls and procedures.

 

(b)

Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting.

 

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) under the Exchange Act, for the Company.

 

Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of its management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect material misstatements.  In addition, effective internal control at a point in time may become ineffective in future periods because of change in conditions or due to deterioration in the degree of compliance with our established policies and procedures.

 

A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that result in there being a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2014, based on the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).  Based on its evaluation under this framework, management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were ineffective as of December 31, 2014.

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 and identified the following material weaknesses:

 

Lack of Expertise.  There is a lack of expertise in the key functional areas of finance, accounting and financial reporting.

 

Lack of Segregation of Duties.  We have an inadequate number of personnel to properly implement control procedures.

 

Lack of Disclosure Controls.  There is a lack of disclosure controls to ensure adequate disclosures are made in our periodic filings.

 

Ineffective Oversight of Audit Committee.  The Audit Committee does not meet on a periodic basis.

 

Management is committed to improving its internal controls and will continue to use third party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist the Company with accounting and finance responsibilities.  At this time, however, management has not established a time table for when it intends to address the aforementioned material weaknesses.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit is the Company to provide only management’s report in the annual report.

 

(c)

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
