FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT INFORMATION

Certain statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are “forward-looking statements” regarding the plans and objectives of management for future operations. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Our plans and objectives are based, in part, on assumptions involving judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that our assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this Report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein particularly in view of the current state of our operations, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a statement by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the factors set forth herein under the headings “Business,” “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors”. We undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason. The terms “we”, “our”, “us”, or any derivative thereof, as used herein refer to Newtown Lane Marketing, Incorporated.

PART 1

 

ITEM 1.BUSINESS.

 

THE COMPANY’S HISTORY

 

Newtown Lane Marketing, Incorporated (“we”, “our”, “us” or “Newtown”) was incorporated in Delaware on September 26, 2005. We are a corporation with limited operations and have very limited revenues from our business operations since our incorporation in September 2005. Until December 31, 2007, we held the exclusive license to exploit the Dreesen's Donut Brand in the United States with the exception of the states of Florida and Pennsylvania, and in Suffolk County, New York, which Dreesen retained for itself. In August 2007 there was a change in control, as detailed below, and we discontinued our efforts to promote the Dreesen's Donut Brand at that time. The license from Dreesen expired on December 31, 2007.

 

On August 29, 2008, we implemented a 1 for 50 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of our Common Stock. Pursuant to the Reverse Split, each 50 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding was converted into one share of Common Stock.

 

Effective August 15, 2013, we declared and paid a stock dividend on our outstanding Common Stock to stockholders of record as of August 15, 2013 (the “Record Date”). As a result, all stockholders on the Record Date received nine new shares of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock owned by them as of the that date (the “2013 Stock Dividend”).

 

All share and per share data contained in this Report has been retroactively restated to reflect the Reverse Split and the 2013 Stock Dividend and all fractional shares, if any, as a result thereof have been rounded upward to the next whole share.

 

As of March 31, 2015, our authorized capital stock consisted of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock of which 13,757,550 shares of Common Stock, and no shares of Preferred Stock, were issued and outstanding. All shares of Common Stock currently outstanding are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP TRANSACTIONS

 

On August 8, 2007 (the “Effective Date”), we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Moyo Partners, LLC, a New York limited liability company (“Moyo”) and R&R Biotech Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“R&R” collectively with Moyo, the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which we sold to them, in the aggregate, approximately, four million four hundred seventy nine thousand two hundred fifty (4,479,250) shares of our common stock, par value $.001 per share (“Common Stock”) and five hundred (500) shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), each share convertible at the option of the holder into, approximately, fourteen thousand eight hundred twenty (14,820) shares of Common Stock, for aggregate gross proceeds to us of $600,000. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock were convertible only to the extent there were a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance upon any such conversion.

 

On the Effective Date: (i) the Purchasers acquired control of Newtown, with (a) R&R acquiring nine million five hundred nine thousand four hundred forty (9,509,440) shares of Common Stock (assuming the conversion by R&R of the four hundred (400) shares of Series A Preferred Stock it acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement into five million nine hundred twenty eight thousand (5,928,000) shares of Common Stock) constituting 72% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, and (b) Moyo acquiring two million three hundred seventy seven thousand three hundred sixty (2,377,360) shares of Common Stock (assuming the conversion by Moyo of its one hundred (100) shares of Series A Preferred Stock it acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement into one million four hundred eighty one thousand five hundred ten (1,481,510) shares of Common Stock) constituting 18% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock; and (ii) in full satisfaction of our obligations under outstanding convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $960,000 (the “December Notes”), the Note holders of the December Notes converted an aggregate of $479,811 of principal and accrued interest into 274,200 shares of Common Stock and accepted a cash payment from us in the aggregate amount of $625,030 for the remaining principal balance.

On the Effective Date: (i) Arnold P. Kling was appointed to our Board of Directors (“Board”) and served together with Vincent J. McGill, a then current director who continued to serve until August 20, 2007, the effective date of his resignation from our Board; (ii) all of our then officers and directors, with the exception of Mr. McGill, resigned from their respective positions with us; (iii) our Board appointed Mr. Kling as president and Kirk M. Warshaw as chief financial officer and secretary; and (iv) we relocated our headquarters to Chatham, New Jersey.

 

Following Mr. McGill’s resignation from our Board on August 20, 2007, Mr. Kling became our sole director and president.

 

On October 19, 2007, we effected an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase to 100,000,000 the number of authorized shares of Common Stock available for issuance (the “Charter Amendment”). As a result of the Charter Amendment, as of October 19, 2007, we had adequate shares of Common Stock available for issuance upon the conversion of all the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

On December 19, 2007, the holders of all the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock elected to convert all of their shares into shares of Common Stock. As a result, the 500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding were exchanged for 7,407,540 shares of Common Stock, and all 500 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were returned to the status of authorized and unissued shares of undesignated preferred stock, par value $.001 per shares. None of the Series A Preferred Stock were outstanding as of the Series A Preferred Elimination Date.

 

In December 2008, we sold 550,000 shares of restricted Common Stock to our Chief Financial Officer, for $2,000. The issuance of these shares was exempt from registration pursuant to Sections 4(2) and 4(6) or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The stock certificate representing these shares was imprinted with a legend restricting transfer unless pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration under the Act.

 

On May 6, 2013, Ironbound Partners Fund, LLC (“Ironbound”) acquired 9,509,440 shares of our outstanding Common Stock (the “Acquired Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000, or $0.00157737 per share, from the Chapter 7 Trustee of the Estates of Rodman & Renshaw, LLC (“Rodman”), Direct Markets, Inc., and Direct Markets Holdings, Corp. in Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (Cases No. 13-10087, 13-10088 and 13-10089). The Acquired Shares constituted all the shares of Common Stock previously owned by R&R, an affiliate of Rodman, and represented 69.1% of our total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of May 6, 2013.

 

On May 14, 2013, Ironbound loaned $100,000 to us and we issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $100,000 to Ironbound (the “May 2013 Note”). The May 2013 Note was initially issued with a two-year term and bore interest at the rate of 5.0% per annum, payable at maturity. The principal and accrued interest on the May 2013 Note was convertible into shares of Common Stock upon the consummation of a “Fundamental Transaction” (as defined in the May 2013 Note) at the “Conversion Price” (as defined in the May 2013 Note). The May 2013 Note was amended in July 2014 in accordance with the Amended and Restated Note, as described below.

 

On July 25, 2014, we raised gross proceeds of $72,000 in a debt financing transaction with Ironbound and, in connection therewith, issued to Ironbound a convertible promissory note (the “2014 Note”) in the principal amount of $72,000. The 2014 Note has a maturity date of August 31, 2015 and bears interest at the rate of 5.0% per annum, payable at maturity. The principal and accrued interest on the 2014 Note is convertible, at the election of Ironbound, into shares of our Common Stock following the consummation of a “Qualified Financing” (as defined in the 2014 Note), or upon the consummation of a “Fundamental Transaction” (as defined in the 2014 Note) at the “Conversion Price” (as defined in the 2014 Note).

 

Further, on July 25, 2014, we issued an amended and restated convertible promissory note (the “Amended and Restated Note”) to Ironbound in the principal amount of $100,000, in substitution for the May 2013 Note. The Amended and Restated Note extended the maturity of the May 2013 Note to August 31, 2015 and provided for the principal and accrued interest on the May 2013 Note to be convertible, at the election of Ironbound, into shares of our Common Stock following the consummation of a “Qualified Financing” (as defined in the May 2013 Note), or upon the consummation of a “Fundamental Transaction” (as defined in the May 2013 Note) at the “Conversion Price” (as defined in the May 2013 Note). The May 2013 Note otherwise remains unchanged.

THE COMPANY TODAY

 

Since the Effective Date, our main purpose has been to serve as a vehicle to acquire an operating business and we are currently considered a “shell” company in as much as we are not generating revenues, do not own an operating business, and have no specific plan other than to engage in a merger or acquisition transaction with a yet-to-be identified operating company or business. Our principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with an operating company or business. We will not restrict our potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business. The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of our officers and directors. We have no employees and no material assets.

 

We currently have no agreements or understandings with any prospective business combination candidates and there are no assurances that we will find a suitable business with which to combine. The implementation of our business objectives is wholly contingent upon a business combination and/or the successful sale of our securities. We intend to utilize the proceeds of any offering, any sales of equity securities or debt securities, bank and other borrowings or a combination of those sources to effect a business combination with a target business which we believe may have significant growth potential. While we may, under certain circumstances, seek to effect business combinations with more than one target business, unless additional financing is obtained, we will not have sufficient proceeds remaining after an initial business combination to undertake additional business combinations.

 

A common reason for a target company to enter into a merger with a shell company is the desire to establish a public trading market for its shares. Such a company would hope to avoid the perceived adverse consequences of undertaking a public offering itself, such as the time delays and significant expenses incurred to comply with the various federal and state securities law that regulate initial public offerings.

 

As a result of our limited resources, unless and until additional financing is obtained we expect to have sufficient proceeds to effect only a single business combination. Accordingly, the prospects for our success will likely be dependent upon the future performance of a single business. Unlike certain entities that have the resources to consummate several business combinations or entities operating in multiple industries or multiple segments of a single industry, we do not expect to have the resources to diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses. A target business may be dependent upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services, in which case there will be an even higher risk that the target business will not prove to be commercially viable.

 

Our officers are only required to devote a very small portion of their time (less than 10%) to our affairs on a part-time or as-needed basis. Our officers may be entitled to receive compensation from a target company they identify or provide services in connection with a business combination. We expect to use outside consultants, advisors, attorneys and accountants as necessary, none of which will be hired on a retainer basis. We do not anticipate hiring any full-time employees so long as we are seeking and evaluating business opportunities.

 

We do not expect our present management to play any managerial role for us following a business combination. Although we intend to scrutinize closely the management of a prospective target business in connection with our evaluation of a business combination with a target business, our assessment of management may be incorrect.

 

In evaluating a prospective target business, we will consider several factors, including the following:

 

-experience and skill of management and availability of additional personnel of the target business;

 

-costs associated with effecting the business combination;

 

-equity interest retained by our stockholders in the merged entity;

 

-growth potential of the target business;

 

5
 

 

-capital requirements of the target business;

 

-capital available to the target business;

 

-stage of development of the target business;

 

-proprietary features and degree of intellectual property or other protection of the target business;

 

-the financial statements of the target business; and

 

-the regulatory environment in which the target business operates.

 

The foregoing criteria are not intended to be exhaustive and any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular target business will be based, to the extent relevant, on the above factors, as well as other considerations we deem relevant. In connection with our evaluation of a prospective target business, we anticipate that we will conduct a due diligence review which will encompass, among other things, meeting with incumbent management as well as a review of financial, legal and other information.

 

The time and costs required to select and evaluate a target business (including conducting a due diligence review) and to structure and consummate the business combination (including negotiating and documenting relevant agreements and preparing requisite documents for filing pursuant to applicable corporate and securities laws) cannot be determined at this time. Our president intends to devote only a very small portion of his time to our affairs, and, accordingly, the consummation of a business combination may require a longer time than if he devoted his full time to our affairs. However, he will devote such time as he deems reasonably necessary to carry out our business and affairs. The amount of time devoted to our business and affairs may vary significantly depending upon, among other things, whether we have identified a target business or are engaged in active negotiation of a business combination.

 

We anticipate that various prospective target businesses will be brought to our attention from various sources, including securities broker-dealers, investment bankers, venture capitalists, bankers and other members of the financial community, including, possibly, the executive officers and our affiliates.

 

As a general rule, federal and state tax laws and regulations have a significant impact upon the structuring of business combinations. We will evaluate the possible tax consequences of any prospective business combination and will endeavor to structure a business combination so as to achieve the most favorable tax treatment to our company, the target business and our respective stockholders. There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or relevant state tax authorities will ultimately assent to our tax treatment of a particular consummated business combination. To the extent the Internal Revenue Service or any relevant state tax authorities ultimately prevail in recharacterizing the tax treatment of a business combination, there may be adverse tax consequences to our company, the target business, and our respective stockholders.

 

We may acquire a company or business by purchasing the securities of such company or business. However, we do not intend to engage primarily in such activities. Specifically, we intend to conduct our activities so as to avoid being classified as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Act”) and therefore avoid application of the costly and restrictive registration and other provisions of the Investment Company Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

Section 3(a) of the Investment Company Act excepts from the definition of an "investment company" an entity which does not engage primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities, or which does not engage in the business of investing, owning, holding or trading "investment securities" (defined as "all securities other than government securities or securities of majority-owned subsidiaries") the value of which exceed 40% of the value of its total assets (excluding government securities, cash or cash items). We intend to operate any business in the future in a manner which will result in the availability of this exception from the definition of an investment company. Consequently, our acquisition of a company or business through the purchase and sale of investment securities will be limited. Although we intend to act to avoid classification as an investment company, the provisions of the Investment Company Act are extremely complex and it is possible that we may be classified as an inadvertent investment company. We intend to vigorously resist classification as an investment company, and to take advantage of any exemptions or exceptions from application of the Investment Company Act, which allows an entity a one-time option during any three-year period to claim an exemption as a "transient" investment company. The necessity of asserting any such resistance, or making any claim of exemption, could be time consuming and costly, or even prohibitive, given our limited resources.

Various impediments to a business combination may arise, such as appraisal rights afforded the stockholders of a target business under the laws of its state of organization. This may prove to be deterrent to a particular combination.

 

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS.

 

IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THIS REPORT, YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING FACTORS IN EVALUATING OUR BUSINESS, OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION. ADDITIONAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES NOT PRESENTLY KNOWN TO US, THAT WE CURRENTLY DEEM IMMATERIAL OR THAT ARE SIMILAR TO THOSE FACED BY OTHER COMPANIES IN OUR INDUSTRY OR BUSINESS IN GENERAL, SUCH AS COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS, MAY ALSO IMPAIR OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS. THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING RISKS COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

WE HAVE NO RECENT OPERATING HISTORY OR BASIS FOR EVALUATING PROSPECTS.

 

Since the Effective Date, we have no operating business or plans to develop one. We are currently seeking to enter into a merger or business combination with another company. To date, our efforts have been limited to meeting our regulatory filing requirements and searching for a merger target.

 

CERTAIN CONDITIONS RAISE SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN

 

Since inception, we have incurred negative cash flow from operating activities and an accumulated deficit of $2,214,550 through March 31, 2015. For the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we had net losses of $80,143 and $60,820, respectively. We have spent, and subject to obtaining additional financing, expect to continue to spend, substantial amounts in connection with executing our business strategy. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We Have Limited Resources and No Revenues From Operations, and WILL Need Additional Financing in Order to Execute ANY Business Plan AND HISTORICALLY RELIED UPON FUNDING FROM OUR MAJORITY STOCKHOLDER.

 

We have limited resources, no revenues from operations to date and our cash on hand may not be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements during the next twelve months. In addition, we will not achieve any revenues (other than insignificant investment income) until, at the earliest, the consummation of a merger and we cannot ascertain our capital requirements until such time. Further limiting our abilities to achieve revenues, in order to avoid status as an "Investment Company" under the Investment Company Act, we can only invest our funds prior to a merger in limited investments which do not invoke Investment Company status. There can be no assurance that determinations ultimately made by us will permit us to achieve our business objectives.

 

7
 

 

We have historically relied upon funding through capital contributions from our former majority stockholder, R&R, an affiliate of Rodman.  On January 11, 2013, Rodman filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy petition.  As a result, we do not expect any further funding from R&R.  Subsequent to our fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, on May 6, 2013, Ironbound acquired the 9,509,440 shares of Common Stock then owned by R&R from the Chapter 7 Trustee of the Estates of Rodman, Direct Markets, Inc., and Direct Markets Holdings, Corp. in Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (Cases No. 13-10087, 13-10088 and 13-10089). Since May 14, 2013 we have borrowed $172,000 from Ironbound and issued the aforementioned Note to it. As of March 31, 2015 we have $34,490 on hand. Such funds will not be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements during the next twelve months and we will require additional funds. We cannot provide assurance that adequate additional funds will be available or, if available, will be offered on acceptable terms. Failure to receive adequate additional funding will cause us to cease operations.

 

We Will Be Able to Effect At Most One Merger, and Thus May Not Have a Diversified Business.

 

Our resources are limited and we will most likely have the ability to effect only a single merger. This probable lack of diversification will subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a material adverse impact upon the particular industry in which we may operate subsequent to the consummation of a merger. We will become dependent upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services.

 

We Depend SUBSTANTIALLY upon OUR PRESIDENT, Whose Experience Is Limited, to Make All Management Decisions.

 

Our ability to effect a merger will be dependent upon the efforts of our president, Arnold Kling. Notwithstanding the importance of Mr. Kling, we have not entered into any employment agreement or other understanding with Mr. Kling concerning compensation or obtained any "key man" life insurance on any of his life. The loss of the services of Mr. Kling will have a material adverse effect on our business objectives and success. We rely upon the expertise of Mr. Kling and do not anticipate that we will hire additional personnel.

 

THERE MAY BE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST BETWEEN OUR MANAGEMENT AND OUR NON-MANAGEMENT STOCKHOLDERS.

 

Conflicts of interest create the risk that management may have an incentive to act adversely to the interests of other investors. Our officers may be entitled to receive compensation from a target company they identify or provide services to in connection with a business combination. A conflict of interest may arise between our management’s personal pecuniary interest and their fiduciary duty to our stockholders. Further, our management’s own pecuniary interest may at some point compromise their fiduciary duty to our stockholders. In addition, Mr. Kling, our president and sole director, and Mr. Warshaw, our chief financial officer, are currently involved with other shell companies and conflicts in the pursuit of business combinations with such other shell companies with which they and affiliates of our majority stockholder are, and may in the future be affiliated with, may arise. If we and the other shell companies that our officers and directors are affiliated with desire to take advantage of the same opportunity, then those officers and director that are affiliated with both companies would abstain from voting upon the opportunity. We cannot assure you that conflicts of interest among us, our management and our stockholders will not develop.

 

8
 

 

THERE IS COMPETITION FOR THOSE PRIVATE COMPANIES SUITABLE FOR A MERGER TRANSACTION OF THE TYPE CONTEMPLATED BY MANAGEMENT.

 

We are in a highly competitive market for a small number of business opportunities which could reduce the likelihood of consummating a successful business combination. We are and will continue to be an insignificant participant in the business of seeking mergers with, joint ventures with and acquisitions of small private and public entities. A large number of established and well-financed entities, including small public companies and venture capital firms, are active in mergers and acquisitions of companies that may be desirable target candidates for us. Nearly all these entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than we do; consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully completing a business combination. These competitive factors may reduce the likelihood of our identifying and consummating a successful business combination.

 

FUTURE SUCCESS IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE ABILITY OF MANAGEMENT TO LOCATE AND ATTRACT A SUITABLE ACQUISITION.

 

The nature of our operations is highly speculative. The success of our plan of operation will depend to a great extent on the operations, financial condition and management of the identified business opportunity. While management intends to seek business combination(s) with entities having established operating histories, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in locating candidates meeting that criterion. In the event we complete a business combination, the success of our operations may be dependent upon management of the successor firm or venture partner firm and numerous other factors beyond our control.

 

WE HAVE NO AGREEMENT FOR A BUSINESS COMBINATION OR OTHER TRANSACTION.

 

We have no agreement with respect to engaging in a merger with, joint venture with or acquisition of, a private or public entity. No assurances can be given that we will successfully identify and evaluate suitable business opportunities or that we will conclude a business combination. Management has not identified any particular industry or specific business within an industry for evaluation. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to negotiate a business combination on favorable terms, and there is consequently a risk that funds allocated to the purchase of our shares will not be invested in a company with active business operations.

 

MANAGEMENT WILL CHANGE UPON THE CONSUMMATION OF A MERGER.

 

After the closing of a merger or business combination, it is likely our current management will not retain any control or managerial responsibilities. Upon such event, Mr. Kling and Mr. Warshaw intend to resign from their positions with us.

 

CURRENT STOCKHOLDERS WILL BE IMMEDIATELY AND SUBSTANTIALLY DILUTED UPON A MERGER OR BUSINESS COMBINATION.

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorized the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of our Common Stock. There are currently 86,242,450 authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock available for issuance. To the extent that additional shares of Common Stock are authorized and issued in connection with a merger or business combination, our stockholders could experience significant dilution of their respective ownership interests. Furthermore, the issuance of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock may adversely affect prevailing market prices, if any, for our Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities.

CONTROL BY EXISTING STOCKHOLDER.

 

As of June 22, 2015, Ironbound beneficially owned approximately 69% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock. As a result, Ironbound is able to exercise control over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, and the approval of mergers, consolidations and sales of all or substantially all of our assets.

 

OUR COMMON STOCK IS A "PENNY STOCK" WHICH MAY RESTRICT THE ABILITY OF STOCKHOLDERS TO SELL OUR COMMON STOCK IN THE SECONDARY MARKET.

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be an equity security that has a market price, as defined, of less than $5.00 per share, or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions, including an exception of an equity security that is quoted on a national securities exchange. Our Common Stock is not now quoted on a national securities exchange and has a market price of less than $5.00 per share and therefore may be deemed to be a penny stock. As such, they are subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell these securities. For example, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser of such securities and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transactions prior to the purchase. Additionally, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered underwriter, and current quotations for the securities, and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market. Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. The "penny stock" rules, may restrict the ability of our stockholders to sell our Common Stock and warrants in the secondary market.

 

OUR COMMON STOCK HAS BEEN THINLY TRADED, LIQUIDITY IS LIMITED, AND WE MAY BE UNABLE TO OBTAIN LISTING OF OUR COMMON STOCK ON A MORE LIQUID MARKET.

 

Our Common Stock has been thinly traded and is currently quoted on the OTC Markets, which provide significantly less liquidity than a national securities exchange such as the NYSE or the NASDAQ. There is uncertainty that we will ever be accepted for a listing on a national securities exchange. The purchasers of shares of our Common Stock may find it difficult to resell their shares at prices quoted in the market or at all.

Our principal offices are located at 131 Columbia Turnpike, Suite 1, Florham Park, NJ one of the office locations of Kirk M.

ITEM 6.SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.

 

As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), 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.

 

GENERAL

 

We are a corporation with limited operations and have very limited revenues from our business operations since our incorporation in September 2005. Until December 31, 2007, we held the exclusive license to exploit the Dreesen's Donut Brand in the United States with the exception of the states of Florida and Pennsylvania, and in Suffolk County, New York, which Dreesen retained for itself. The license from Dreesen expired on December 31, 2007.

 

As of the Effective Date, we discontinued our efforts to promote the Dreesen's Donut Brand, we have no employees and our main purpose has been to effect a business combination with an operating business which we believe has significant growth potential. As of yet, we have no definitive agreements or understandings with any prospective business combination candidates and there are no assurances that we will find a suitable business with which to combine. The implementation of our business objectives is wholly contingent upon a business combination and/or the successful sale of our securities. We intend to utilize the proceeds of any offering, any sales of equity securities or debt securities, bank and other borrowings or a combination of those sources to effect a business combination with a target business which we believe has significant growth potential. While we may, under certain circumstances, seek to effect business combinations with more than one target business, unless and until additional financing is obtained, we will not have sufficient proceeds remaining after an initial business combination to undertake additional business combinations.

 

11
 

 

A common reason for a target company to enter into a merger with us is the desire to establish a public trading market for its shares. Such a company would hope to avoid the perceived adverse consequences of undertaking a public offering itself, such as the time delays and significant expenses incurred to comply with the various Federal and state securities law that regulate initial public offerings.

 

As a result of our limited resources, we expect to effect only a single business combination. Accordingly, the prospects for our success will likely be dependent upon the future performance of a single business. Unlike certain entities that have the resources to consummate several business combinations or entities operating in multiple industries or multiple segments of a single industry, we do not expect the resources to diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses. A target business may be dependent upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services, in which case there will be an even higher risk that the target business will not prove to be commercially viable.

 

Our officers are only required to devote a small portion of their time (less than 10%) to our affairs on a part-time or as-needed basis. We expect to use outside consultants, advisors, attorneys and accountants as necessary. We do not anticipate hiring any full-time employees so long as we are seeking and evaluating business opportunities.

 

We expect our present management to play no managerial role in our company following a business combination. Although we intend to scrutinize closely the management of a prospective target business in connection with our evaluation of a business combination with a target business, our assessment of management may be incorrect. We cannot assure you that we will find a suitable business with which to combine.

 

Our principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with an operating business. We will not restrict our potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business. The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of our officers and directors.

 

EQUIPMENT AND EMPLOYEES

 

As of March 31, 2015, we had no operating business, no equipment, and no employees. We do not intend to develop our own operating business but instead plan to consummate a business combination transaction with an operating company.

 

Results of Operations

 

Continuing Operating Expenses for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2015 Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2014

 

We are a corporation with limited operations and did not have any operating revenues during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We did, however, recognize $17,664 of Other Income during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 most of which was realized when we negotiated a discounted payment to a vendor in full satisfaction of an obligation to that vendor.

 

Total expenses for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $80,143 and $78,484, respectively. The majority of these expenses primarily constituted general and administrative expenses related to accounting and compliance with the Exchange Act and for the year ended March 31, 2014 expenses associated with the aforementioned events related to the new majority shareholder and refinancing.

 

12
 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At March 31, 2015, we did not have any revenues from operations. Our principal source of operating capital recently has been provided in the form of loans and capital contributions from our stockholders. Absent a merger or other combination with an operating company, we do not expect to have any revenues from operations. No assurance can be given that such a merger or other combination will occur or that we can engage in any public or private sales of our equity or debt securities to raise working capital. We are dependent upon future loans or capital contributions from our present stockholders and/or management and there can be no assurances that our present stockholders or management will make any loans or capital contributions to us.

 

At March 31, 2015, we had outstanding notes payable in the aggregate principal amount of $172,000 payable to Ironbound, our majority stockholder, pursuant to the 2014 Note and the Amended and Restated Note. We had and cash and cash equivalents of $34,490 and negative working capital of $155,036. Such funds will not be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements during the next twelve months and we will require additional funds. We cannot provide assurance that adequate additional funds will be available or, if available, will be offered on acceptable terms.

 

Our present material commitments are professional and administrative fees and expenses associated with the preparation of our filings with the SEC and other regulatory requirements. In the event that we engage in any merger or other combination with an operating company, it is likely that we will have additional material commitments.

 

Commitments

 

We do not have any commitments which are required to be disclosed in tabular form as of March 31, 2015.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of March 31, 2015, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements such as guarantees, retained or contingent interest in assets transferred, obligation under a derivative instrument and obligation arising out of or a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Note 2 to the financial statements describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

We have identified the policies below as some of the more critical to our business and the understanding of our financial position and results of operations.  These policies may involve a high degree of judgment and complexity in their application and represent the critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our financial statements. Although we believe our judgments and estimates are appropriate and correct, actual future results may differ from estimates. If different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, the results could be materially different from these reported results. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations are discussed throughout this Report where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results.

 

The preparation of our financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and equity and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. These estimates have a material impact on our financial statements and are discussed in detail throughout this Report.

 

As part of the process of preparing our financial statements, we are required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This process involves estimating actual current tax expense together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within the balance sheet. We must then assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. In the event that we determine that we would be able to realize deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance would increase income in the period such determination was made.

 

13
 

 

We account for our stock option grants under the provisions of the accounting guidance for Share-Based Payments. Such guidance requires the recognition of the fair value of share-based compensation in the statements of operations. The fair value of our stock option awards was estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions and elections in adopting and implementing this guidance, including expected stock price volatility and the estimated life of each award. The fair value of share-based awards is amortized over the vesting period of the award and we have elected to use the straight-line method for awards granted after the adoption of this guidance.

 

ITEM 7A.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.

See the index to the Financial Statements below, beginning on page F-1.

 

ITEM 9.CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

 

None.

 

ITEM 9A.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

       (a)   Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our president and chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the president and chief financial officer concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our management, including our president and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable 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, management’s evaluation of controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Newtown Lane have been detected.

 

       (b) Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2015. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, which was adopted by COSO in 1992. Our management has concluded that, as of March 31, 2015, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on these criteria.

 

       (c)   Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred 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.

Arnold P. Kling. Mr. Kling has served as our president and a director since August 2007. For the past 15 years, Mr. Kling has been the senior managing partner for a group of private equity investment funds that invest and manage early stage companies whose technologies have the potential to disrupt their targeted markets. From 1993 to 1995 he was a senior executive and general counsel of a Nasdaq listed licensing and multimedia company. From 1990 through 1993, Mr. Kling was an associate and partner in the corporate and financial services department of Tannenbaum, Helpern, Syracuse & Hirschtritt LLP, a mid-size New York law firm. Mr. Kling received a Bachelor of Science degree from New York University in International Business in 1980 and a Juris Doctor degree from Benjamin Cardozo School of Law in 1983. Mr. Kling currently also serves as a director and the president of Protalex, Inc. (PRTX), 24Holdings, Inc. (TWFH) and Trenton Acquisition Corp. Mr. Kling’s professional experience and background with other companies and with us, as our president and director since 2007, have given him the expertise needed to serve as our director.

 

Kirk M. Warshaw. Mr. Warshaw has served as our chief financial officer and secretary, since August 2007. Mr. Warshaw is a financial professional who, since 1990, has provided clients in various industries with advice on accounting, corporate finance, and general business matters. Prior to starting his own consulting firm, from 1983 to 1990, he held the various titles of controller, chief financial officer, president, and chief executive officer at three separate financial institutions in New Jersey. From 1980 through 1983, Mr. Warshaw was a senior accountant at the public accounting firm of Deloitte, Haskins & Sells. Mr. Warshaw is a 1980 graduate of Lehigh University and has been a CPA in New Jersey since 1982. Mr. Warshaw currently also serves as a director and the chief financial officer of Protalex, Inc.

Compensation and Audit Committees

 

As we only have one Board member and given our limited operations, we do not have separate or independent audit or compensation committees. Our Board has determined that it does not have an "audit committee financial expert," as that term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. In addition, we have not adopted any procedures by which our stockholders may recommend nominees to our Board.

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our Common Stock (collectively, the "Reporting Persons") to report their ownership of and transactions in our Common Stock to the SEC. Copies of these reports are also required to be supplied to us. To our knowledge, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 the Reporting Persons complied with all applicable Section 16(a) reporting requirements.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We have not adopted a Code of Ethics given our limited operations. We expect that following a merger or other acquisition transaction, our Board will adopt a Code of Ethics.

 

ITEM 11.EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

 

Messrs. Kling and Warshaw are our sole officers and Mr. Kling is our sole director. Neither received any regular compensation for their services rendered on our behalf during our fiscal year ended on March 31, 2015. Neither Mr. Kling nor Mr. Warshaw received any compensation during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 except that in May 2013 Mr. Warshaw was granted an Option (described in Item 13 below) for services as our chief financial officer. No officer or director is required to make any specific amount or percentage of his business time available to us.

 

While we do not presently anticipate engaging the services of professional firms that specialize in finding business acquisitions on any formal basis, we may engage such firms in the future, in which event we may be required to pay a finder's fee or other compensation. In no event, however, will we pay a finder's fee or commission to any of our officers and directors or any entity with which an officer or director is affiliated. We do not have any incentive or stock option plan in effect.

 

Director Compensation

 

We do not currently pay any cash fees to our sole director, nor do we pay director’s expenses in attending Board meetings.

 

Employment Agreements

 

We are not a party to any employment agreements.

ITEM 13.CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

 

Our Board consists solely of Arnold Kling. He is not independent as such term is defined by a national securities exchange or an inter-dealer quotation system.

 

On May 22, 2013, we granted a non-qualified option (the “Option”) to purchase 520,880 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.002 per share, to Kirk Warshaw for services as our chief financial officer. The Option was immediately exercisable for all the underlying shares and expires on May 21, 2023.

 

On May 14, 2013, Ironbound, our majority stockholder, lent $100,000 to us and we issued the May 2013 Note to it. In July 2014, the May 2013 Note was amended and restated by the Amended and Restated Note, which extended the maturity of the May 2013 Note to August 31, 2015 and provided for the principal and accrued interest on the May 2013 Note to be convertible, at the election of Ironbound, into shares of our Common Stock following the consummation of a “Qualified Financing” (as defined in the May 2013 Note), or upon the consummation of a “Fundamental Transaction” (as defined in the May 2013 Note) at the “Conversion Price” (as defined in the May 2013 Note).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Stockholders and Directors

Newtown Lane Marketing, Incorporated

Florham Park, New Jersey

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Newtown Lane Marketing, Incorporated as of March 31, 2015 and 2014 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. 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. 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Newtown Lane Marketing, Incorporated as of March 31, 2015 and 2014 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Newtown Lane Marketing, Incorporated will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company has incurred recurring operating losses and will have to obtain additional capital to sustain operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY

 

Newtown Lane Marketing, Incorporated (“we”, “our”, “us” or “Newtown”) was incorporated in Delaware on September 26, 2005. We previously held the exclusive license to exploit the Dreesen's Donut Brand in the United States with the exception of the states of Florida and Pennsylvania, and in Suffolk County, New York, which Dreesen retained for itself. In August 2007 there was a change in control, as detailed below, and we discontinued our efforts to promote the Dreesen's Donut Brand at that time. The license from Dreesen expired on December 31, 2007.

 

EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

 

On August 8, 2007 (the “Effective Date”), we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Moyo Partners, LLC, a New York limited liability company (“Moyo”) and R&R Biotech Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“R&R” collectively with Moyo, the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which we sold to them, in the aggregate, approximately, four million four hundred seventy nine thousand two hundred fifty (4,479,250) shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) and five hundred (500) shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), each share convertible at the option of the holder into, approximately, fourteen thousand eight hundred twenty (14,820) shares of Common Stock, for aggregate gross proceeds to us of $600,000. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock were convertible only to the extent there were a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance upon any such conversion.

 

On the Effective Date: (i) the Purchasers acquired control of Newtown, with (a) R&R acquiring nine million five hundred nine thousand four hundred forty (9,509,440) shares of Common Stock (assuming the conversion by R&R of the four hundred (400) shares of Series A Preferred Stock it acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement into five million nine hundred twenty eight thousand (5,928,000) shares of Common Stock) constituting 72% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, and (b) Moyo acquiring two million three hundred seventy seven thousand three hundred sixty (2,377,360) shares of Common Stock (assuming the conversion by Moyo of its one hundred (100) shares of Series A Preferred Stock it acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement into one million four hundred eighty one thousand five hundred ten (1,481,510) shares of Common Stock) constituting 18% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock; and (ii) in full satisfaction of our obligations under outstanding convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $960,000 (the “December Notes”), the Note holders of the December Notes converted an aggregate of $479,811 of principal and accrued interest into 274,200 shares of Common Stock and accepted a cash payment from us in the aggregate amount of $625,030 for the remaining principal balance.

 

On the Effective Date: (i) Arnold P. Kling was appointed to our Board of Directors (“Board”) and served together with Vincent J. McGill, a then current director who continued to serve until August 20, 2007, the effective date of his resignation from our Board; (ii) all of our then officers and directors, with the exception of Mr. McGill, resigned from their respective positions with us; (iii) our Board appointed Mr. Kling as president and Kirk M. Warshaw as chief financial officer and secretary; and (iv) we relocated our then headquarters to Chatham, New Jersey.

 

Following Mr. McGill’s resignation from our Board on August 20, 2007, Mr. Kling became our sole director and president.

Years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

 

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY (continued):

 

THE COMPANY TODAY

 

Since the Effective Date, our main purpose has been to serve as a vehicle to acquire an operating business and we are currently considered a “shell” company in as much as we are not generating revenues, do not own an operating business, and have no specific plan other than to engage in a merger or acquisition transaction with a yet-to-be identified operating company or business. Our principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with an operating business rather than immediate, short-term earnings. We will not restrict our potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business. The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of our officers and directors. We have no employees and no material assets.

  

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Newtown’s accounting policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Outlined below are those policies considered particularly significant.

 

(a)Going Concern:

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates Newtown continuing as a going concern. Our purpose has been to serve as a vehicle to acquire an operating business and we are currently considered a “shell” company inasmuch as we are not generating revenues, we do own an operating business, and have no specific plan other than to engage in a merger or acquisition transaction with a yet-to-be-identified operating company or business. We currently have no definitive agreements or understandings with any prospective business combination candidates and there are no assurances that we will find a suitable business with which to combine. The implementation of our business objectives is wholly contingent upon a business combination and/or the successful sale of our securities. We intend to utilize the proceeds of any offering, any sales of equity securities or debt securities, bank and other borrowings or a combination of those sources to effect a business combination with a target business which we believe may have significant growth potential. While we may, under certain circumstances, seek to effect business combinations with more than one target business, unless additional financing is obtained, we will not have sufficient proceeds remaining after an initial business combination to undertake additional business combinations. There is no assurance that these plans will be realized in whole or in part. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome these uncertainties.

 

Since inception, Newtown has incurred an accumulated deficit of $2,214,550 through March 31, 2015. For the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, Newtown had net losses of $80,143 and $60,820, respectively. Newtown has incurred negative cash flow from operating activities since its inception. Newtown has spent, and subject to obtaining additional financing, expects to continue to spend, substantial amounts in connection with executing its business strategy. These conditions raise substantial doubt about Newtown’s ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

 

(b)Use of Estimates:

In preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes certain estimates and assumptions, where applicable, that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While actual results could differ from those estimates, management does not expect such variances, if any, to have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

(c)Statements of Cash Flows:

For purposes of the statements of cash flows Newtown considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

(d)Loss per Common Share:

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued accounting guidance “Earnings Per Share” that provides for the calculation of “Basic” and “Diluted” earnings per share. Basic earnings per share include no dilution and is computed by dividing the loss to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. All potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computations since they would be antidilutive. However, these dilutive securities could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future. As of March 31, 2015, we had a total of 886,990 of potentially dilutive securities comprised solely of stock options.

 

(e)Income Taxes:

The asset and liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized.

 

(f)Financial Instruments:

The estimated fair values of all reported assets and liabilities which represent financial instruments, none of which are held for trading purposes, approximate their carrying value because of the short term maturity of these instruments or the stated interest rates are indicative of market interest rates.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

 

(g)Equity Based Compensation:

We adopted the FASB accounting guidance for share based payment transactions. This standard requires us to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for equity share options granted based on the grant-date fair value of the options and applies to all outstanding and vested stock-based awards.

 

In computing the impact, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant based on the Black-Scholes options-pricing model utilizing certain assumptions for a risk free interest rate; volatility; and expected remaining lives of the awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, we are required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. In estimating our forfeiture rate, we analyzed our historical forfeiture rate, the remaining lives of unvested options, and the amount of vested options as a percentage of total options outstanding. If our actual forfeiture rate is materially different from its estimate, or if we reevaluate the forfeiture rate in the future, the stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what we have recorded in the current period.

 

The cost is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the options. The compensation cost included in operating expenses was $3,661 and $4,389 for the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. No tax benefit was recorded as of March 31, 2015 in connection with these compensation costs due to the uncertainty regarding ultimate realization of certain net operating loss carry forwards.

 

The accounting guidance requires the use of a valuation model to calculate the fair value of each stock-based award. We use the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted based on the following assumptions:

 

The fair value of the options is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

  

   Year Ended
March, 31, 2015
   Year Ended
March, 31, 2014
 
Dividends per year   0    0 
Volatility percentage   200.0%   200.0%
Risk free interest rate   2.80%   2.80%
Expected life (years)   7-10    7-10 
Weighted Average Fair Value   $0.002- $0.02    $0.002-$0.02 

  

(h)New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Except as set forth below, management does not believe that any other new accounting pronouncements not yet effective will have a material impact on our financial statements once adopted.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2014-15 on “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) – Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this update are effective for public and nonpublic entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted.

 

NOTE 3 – OTHER INCOME

 

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, we recognized $17,664 of Other Income most of which was realized when we negotiated a discounted payment to a vendor in full satisfaction of an obligation to that vendor

 

NOTE 4 - STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

 

On May 9, 2007, an employee and two officers transferred 500,000 shares in aggregate (approximately 166,670 shares a piece) to a third party for services on our behalf. The fair value of the 500,000 shares transferred of $19,000 was recorded in the statement of operations as a selling, general and administrative expense.

 

On the Effective Date, we entered into and closed the Purchase Agreement with the Purchasers, pursuant to which we sold to them, in the aggregate approximately, four million four hundred seventy nine thousand two hundred fifty (4,479,250) shares of our Common Stock and five hundred (500) shares of Preferred Stock, each share convertible at the option of the holder into approximately, fourteen thousand eight hundred twenty (14,820) shares of Common Stock, for aggregate gross proceeds to us of $600,000. Preferred Stock is convertible only to the extent there are a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance upon any such conversion.

 

On the Effective Date: (i) the Purchasers acquired control of Newtown, with (a) R&R acquiring nine million five hundred nine thousand four hundred forty (9,509,440) shares of Common Stock (assuming the conversion by R&R of the four hundred (400) shares of Preferred Stock it acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement into five million nine hundred twenty eight thousand (5,928,000) shares of Common Stock) constituting 72% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, and (b) Moyo acquiring two million three hundred seventy seven thousand three hundred sixty (2,377,360) shares of Common Stock (assuming the conversion by Moyo of its one hundred (100) shares of Preferred Stock it acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement into one million four hundred eighty one thousand five hundred ten (1,481,510) shares of Common Stock) constituting 18% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock; and (ii) in full satisfaction of our obligations under the December Notes, the holders of the December Notes converted an aggregate of $479,811 of principal and accrued interest into 274,200 shares of Common Stock and accepted a cash payment from us in the aggregate amount of $625,030 for the remaining principal balance.

NOTE 4 - STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT (continued):

 

On October 19, 2007, we put into effect an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase to 100,000,000 the number of authorized shares of Common Stock available for issuance (the “Charter Amendment”). As a result of the Charter Amendment, as of October 19, 2007, we had adequate shares of Common Stock available for issuance upon the conversion of all the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

On December 19, 2007, the holders of all the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock elected to convert all of their shares into shares of Common Stock. As a result, the 500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding were exchanged for 7,407,540 shares of Common Stock, and all 500 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were returned to the status of authorized and unissued shares of undesignated preferred stock, par value $.001 per shares.

 

On August 29, 2008, we implemented a 1 for 50 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of the Common Stock. Pursuant to the Reverse Split, each 50 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding was converted into one share of Common Stock.

 

In December 2008, we sold 550,000 shares of Common Stock to Kirk Warshaw, CFO, for $2,000. We determined such shares were issued below their fair value; hence $11,750 of compensation expense was recorded for the difference in value of the shares issued for cash versus fair value of such shares.

 

On May 6, 2013, Ironbound Partners Fund, LLC (“Ironbound”) acquired 9,509,440 shares of Common Stock (the “Acquired Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000, or $0.00157737 per share. The Acquired Shares represent 69.1% of our total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Acquired Shares were purchased by Ironbound, utilizing its available and uncommitted cash, from the Chapter 7 Trustee of the Estates of Rodman & Renshaw, LLC (“Rodman”), Direct Markets, Inc., and Direct Markets Holdings, Corp. in Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (Cases No. 13-10087, 13-10088 and 13-10089). The Acquired Shares constitute all the shares of Common Stock previously owned by R&R, an affiliate of Rodman.

 

On August 15, 2013, we declared a stock dividend on our outstanding Common Stock for stockholders of record as of August 15, 2013 (the “Record Date”). As a result, all stockholders on the Record Date received nine new shares of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock owned by them as of the that date (the “2013 Stock Dividend”). All share and per share data herein has been retroactively restated to reflect the Reverse Split and the 2013 Stock Dividend, since the 2013 Stock Dividend was in substance a forward stock split.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded a $5,000 contribution to capital for the fair value relating to the use, occupancy and administrative services rendered by the officers.

 

STOCK OPTIONS

NOTE 5 – NOTES PAYABLE – RELATED PARTY

  

On May 14, 2013, Ironbound loaned $100,000 to us and we issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $100,000 to Ironbound (the “May 2013 Note”). The May 2013 Note was initially issued with a two-year term and bore interest at the rate of 5.0% per annum, payable at maturity. The principal and accrued interest on the May 2013 Note was convertible into shares of Common Stock upon the consummation of a “Fundamental Transaction” (as defined in the May 2013 Note) at the “Conversion Price” (as defined in the May 2013 Note). The May 2013 Note was amended in July 2014 in accordance with the Amended and Restated Note, as described below.

 

On July 25, 2014, we raised gross proceeds of $72,000 in a debt financing transaction with Ironbound and, in connection therewith, issued to Ironbound a convertible promissory note (the “2014 Note”) in the principal amount of $72,000. The 2014 Note has a maturity date of August 31, 2015 and bears interest at the rate of 5.0% per annum, payable at maturity. The principal and accrued interest on the 2014 Note is convertible, at the election of Ironbound, into shares of our common stock following the consummation of a “Qualified Financing” (as defined in the 2014 Note), or upon the consummation of a “Fundamental Transaction” (as defined in the 2014 Note) at the “Conversion Price” (as defined in the 2014 Note).

 

Further, on July 25, 2014, we issued an amended and restated convertible promissory note (the “Amended and Restated Note”) to Ironbound in the principal amount of $100,000, in substitution for the May 2013 Note. The Amended and Restated Note extends the maturity of the May 2013 Note to August 31, 2015 and provides for the principal and accrued interest on the May 2013 Note to be convertible, at the election of Ironbound, into shares of our common stock following the consummation of a “Qualified Financing” (as defined in the May 2013 Note), or upon the consummation of a “Fundamental Transaction” (as defined in the May 2013 Note) at the“Conversion Price” (as defined in the May 2013 Note).

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES (continued):

 

The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the US statutory income tax rate as follows:

 

   March 31, 
   2015   2014 
Provision for expected federal statutory rate   (35)%   (35)%
Permanent differences – equity based compensation   4%   2%
Loss for which no benefit is available or a valuation allowance has been recorded   31%   33%
    %   %

 

At March 31, 2015, Newtown had approximately $1,823,000 of net operating loss carry forwards (“NOL’s”) available which expires in various years beginning in 2030. In addition, there is a $25,000 capital loss carryover, which is fully reserved as well. This capital loss expires in 2026. The deferred tax asset and related valuation increased by approximately $23,500 during the period ended March 31, 2015. The utilization of the net operating loss carryforward has been limited as to its use pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code Section 382 due to the recent and past changes in ownership of Newtown. The benefits of these NOL’s may be reduced in the future if Newtown is successful in establishing a new business. Newtown's federal and state income tax returns for the years 2011 through 2015 remain open for audit by applicable regulatory authority.

 

NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The agreement provided for quarterly payments to the LLC of $500. Such agreement was terminated during the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded a $5,000 contribution to capital for the fair value relating to the use, occupancy and administrative services rendered by the officers.
