All of the Company’s operating expenses were paid for by its parent company, Smith Electric Vehicles Corp. (“Smith”), from Smith’s corporate bank account. Prior to this, the Company did not maintain a bank account.

AMERICAN BUSINESS SERVICES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS,

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2015 AND 2014

(Unaudited)


NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:


American Business Services, Inc. (the “Company”, “ABS”, “we”, “us” or “our”), was incorporated in the State of Colorado on September 20, 1991. The Company provides merger and acquisition financial consulting services. The Company may also engage in any other business permitted by law, as designated by the Board of Directors of the Company.


Interim Financial Statements


The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion the financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2015. For more complete financial information, these unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC.


Principles of consolidation


The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American Business Services, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, American Business Services Corp. to the date of its sale on March 28, 2014. American Business Services Corp. was sold to Phil E. Ray, then a director and officer of the Company, on March 28, 2014 for $100. This sale was reflected in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2014. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


Cash and cash equivalents


The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.




8



Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Net income (loss) per share


The net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Warrants, stock options, and common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Company’s preferred stock (if any), are not included in the computation if the effect would be anti-dilutive and would increase the earnings or decrease loss per share. No potentially dilutive debt or equity instruments were issued or outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 or 2014.


Income tax


The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740. Under ASC 740 deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.  To the extent that the Company has net operating loss or other tax carryforwards, a full valuation allowance has been applied resulting in no deferred tax expense or benefit.  The Company does not anticipate any current tax expense payable or benefit receivable.


Revenue recognition


Revenue will be recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service has been provided, and collectability is assured. Specifically, revenue from consulting services is recognized subsequent to client services being performed at an agreed upon price, and collectability is reasonably assured.


Property and equipment


Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated under the straight line method over each item’s useful life.




9



Financial Instruments


The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of bank overdraft and related party payable. The recorded values of these items approximate their current fair values because of the short term nature of these financial instruments.


Stock based compensation


The Company accounts for employee and non-employee stock awards under ASC 718, whereby equity instruments issued to employees for services are recorded based on the fair value of the instrument issued and those issued to non-employees are recorded based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument, whichever is more reliably measurable. No stock based compensation was issued or outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.  


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe that their future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to have a material impact on its financial condition of the result of its operations as reported in its financial statements.


NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN


These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.


However, the Company has suffered a loss from operations and has negative cash flows from operations during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and in all likelihood will be required to make significant future expenditures in connection with marketing efforts along with ongoing general administrative expenses. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.


The Company may raise additional capital through the sale of its equity securities, through an offering of debt securities, or through borrowings from financial institutions or related parties. By doing so, the Company hopes to generate sufficient capital to execute its business plan of providing financial consulting services on an ongoing basis. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.


These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  



10




NOTE 3. NOTES RECEIVABLE – RELATED PARTIES


Historically, the Company has loaned money through notes receivable on an ongoing basis to various companies related by common control. The notes were due to be repaid to the Company at various dates through December 2013. The Company recognized no interest income on the notes. The Company had established a reserve for any loans not repaid within one year.


At December 31, 2013, the Company had $27,100 in notes receivable outstanding with a corresponding note reserve of $27,100.


At March 31, 2014, all these notes had been sold or repaid as follows:


There were three convertible promissory notes made to Centennial Growth Equities in 2007 and 2008 for a total of $25,100, which was for funds loaned to Centennial Growth Equities and was used for working capital. These notes were not arms-length transactions and were related party transactions as Mr. Ray, the then president of ABS, was also a principal of Centennial Growth Equities at the time the transactions were made.


A note from Centennial Growth Equities, Inc., a company controlled by Mr. Ray, an officer and director at the time the note was made, dated January 10, 2007 in the amount of $17,000, for money that ABS loaned to Centennial Growth Equities in 2006. This note matured on December 31, 2008 and was renewed through December 31, 2013. The note had been accruing interest as of January 1, 2011 at an annual interest of 4% per annum. No interest had been paid on this note.


A note from Centennial Growth Equities, Inc., a company controlled by Mr. Ray, an officer and director at the time the note was made, dated January 10, 2007, in the amount of $4,200, for money that ABS loaned to Centennial Growth Equities in 2007. This note matured on December 31, 2011, and was renewed through December 31, 2013. The note began accruing interest as of January 1, 2012 at a rate of 4% per annum. No interest had been paid on this note.


A note from Centennial Growth Equities, Inc., a company controlled by Mr. Ray, an officer and director at the time the note was made, dated January 10, 2007 in the amount of $3,900 for money that ABS loaned to Centennial Growth Equities in 2008. This note matured on December 31, 2011 and was renewed through December 31, 2013. The note began accruing interest as of January 1, 2012 at a rate of 4% per annum. No interest had been paid on this note.




11



No formal extension of the term of these notes was executed, however, during the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company exercised its right to convert the three notes receivable from Centennial Growth Equities, Inc. into 2,500,000 shares of its common stock. This stock was then sold to a related party for $6,000. As these notes receivable had been fully provided against in prior periods, the Company recognized a gain of $6,000 on the sale. As the sale was to a related party, the gain on sale has been recognized in additional paid in capital.


A note from Original Source Music, Inc., an unaffiliated entity, dated June 1, 2010 in the amount of $2,000 for money loaned to Original Source Music by ABS in 2010. This amount was used as working capital. The note matured on June 28, 2013.


No formal extension of the term of this note was executed, however, during the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company received payment from Original Source Music, Inc. in the amount of $2,000 in complete satisfaction of the obligation. As this note receivable had been provided against in full in previous periods, we recognized a gain of $2,000 on repayment of this note receivable.


NOTE 4. OTHER RECEIVABLE


As of June 30, 2014, the Company recognized a balance of $1,577 as another receivable. This represents income tax repayable from the carry back of tax losses arising in 2013 to offset taxable profits arising in prior years which would generate a repayment of taxes paid in prior years. Due to collectability concerns, this tax receivable was written-off as of December 31, 2014.


NOTE 5.  OTHER ASSETS


As of March 31, 2015, the Company had recognized a balance of $9,613 as an Other Asset.  This balance consisted of costs associated with negotiations with Smith Electric Vehicles Corp. (“Smith”) (an 85.3% owner of American Business Services, Inc.) and FDG Electric Vehicles Ltd (“FDG”), a related party.  These negotiations were in regards to Smith and FDG contributing funds and certain intellectual property (“IP”) to ABS for shares of stock in ABS. ABS was then to develop a strategy for business development using the IP acquired. Subsequent to March 31, 2015, these negotiations were terminated without any agreement being reached and this balance of $9,613 has been written off during the second quarter of 2015. An additional $24,188 of such costs were incurred and expensed during the second quarter of 2015. The charges for these terminated negotiations was $33,801 in total.


NOTE 6. FIXED ASSETS


The Company disposed of its fixed assets with the sale of its subsidiary, American Business Services Corp., on March 28, 2014.




12



All fixed assets were transferred at the time of the sale of the subsidiary, and were included in the consideration received at that time.  Therefore the Company does not currently have any fixed assets.


No depreciation expense was recognized during the period ended March 28, 2014 as the cost of the fixed assets had already been fully depreciated.


NOTE 7. RELATED PARTY PAYABLE


In support of the Company’s efforts and cash requirements, it may rely on advances from related parties until such time that the Company can support its operations or attains adequate financing through sales of its equity or traditional debt financing. There is no formal written commitment for continued support by shareholders or directors. Amounts represent advances or amounts paid in satisfaction of liabilities. The advances were considered temporary in nature and were not formalized by a promissory note.

  

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the new majority stockholder, Smith Electric Vehicles Corp., advanced $44,475 and $73,555, respectively, on behalf of the Company to pay current invoices received for services that had been rendered to the Company. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $84,683 and $11,128, respectively, has been advanced to the Company.  These advances are unsecured, bear no interest and are repayable on demand.


NOTE 8. NOTE PAYABLE – RELATED PARTY


As of December 31, 2013, the Company owed a related party $12,000 under a note payable, repayable in full on December 31, 2014.  The loan bore interest at 6% and a balance of $740 interest had been accrued on this loan at December 31, 2013.


On March 28, 2014, this note payable along with the accrued interest was transferred to the purchaser of the subsidiary, American Business Services Corp. and consequently is no longer disclosed as a liability of the Company.


NOTE 9. STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT


Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share.


No shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 or 2014.




13



Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 90,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share.


No shares of common stock were issued during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.


As of June 30, 2015 there were 7,030,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.


Additional Paid in Capital

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 the Company exercised its right to convert the three notes receivable from Centennial Growth Equities, Inc. into 2,500,000 shares of its common stock. This stock was then sold to a related party for $6,000. As these notes receivable had been fully provided against in prior periods, the Company recognized a gain of $6,000 on the sale. As the sale was to a related party, the gain on sale has been recognized in additional paid in capital.


During the three months ended March 31, 2014 we sold our subsidiary, American Business Services Corp., for $100 to a related party. As the subsidiary had net liabilities of $9,010 at the date of the sale, we recognized a gain of $9,110 on the sale. As the sale was to a related party, the gain on sale was recognized in additional paid in capital in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2014.


NOTE 10. OTHER INCOME


During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company received payment from Original Source Music, Inc. in the amount of $2,000 in complete satisfaction of an outstanding note receivable. As this note receivable had been provided against in full in previous periods, we recognized a gain of $2,000 on repayment of this note receivable.


NOTE 11. SALE OF SUBSIDIARY


On March 28, 2014 we sold our wholly owned subsidiary, American Business Services Corp., to a related party for $100. The subsidiary had assets of $3,730, liabilities of $12,740 for a net value of ($9,010). The Company had previously recognized these losses in the consolidated financial statements as the loss was carried on the books of the Company as a negative value. The Company had no other basis in the stock and accordingly recognized a gain of $9,110 on the sale. As the sale was to a related party, the gain on sale was recognized in additional paid in capital in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2014.




14



NOTE 12. SALE AND TRANSFER OF A MAJOR STOCKHOLDER’S INTERESTS


On July 3, 2014 Phil E. Ray, the majority stockholder of American Business Services, Inc., sold 6,000,000 shares of common stock that he owned to Smith Electric Vehicles Corp., a Delaware corporation. These shares constituted the entire holding of Mr. Ray and comprised approximately 85.3% of the outstanding shares of the Company.


In addition to the sale of the stock, Mr. Ray resigned all positions as an officer of the Company. Upon his resignation the Board of Directors appointed Bryan L. Hansel as President and Chief Executive Officer and Mr. John Micek as the Chief Financial Officer and Jacques Schira as the Secretary.  Mr. Ray later resigned his position as director of the Company.


Further details relating to this transaction are available in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 10, 2014.


NOTE 13. RELATED PARTIES


For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recognized revenue of $1,000 and $4,000, respectively, from a related party for consulting fees.


We do not have any standard arrangements by which employees or directors are compensated for any services provided as employees or directors.  No cash has been paid to employees or directors in their capacity as such.


The Company occupies office space provided by Smith Electric Vehicles Corp. at no cost.  The value of the space is not considered materially significant for financial reporting purposes.


NOTE 14. COMMON STOCK PLEDGED AS COLLATERAL


On March 25, 2015 Smith Electric Vehicles Corp. entered into a $500,000 loan agreement with FDG Electric Vehicles Limited.  The drawdown date of the agreement was March 30, 2015 with a repayment date of June 30, 2015. As of July 27, 2015, the repayment date of this note was extended to August 31, 2015.  The loan agreement does not have a stated interest rate.  The collateral for this loan agreement is all common stock or other form of derivatives of American Business Services, Inc., now or at any time hereafter, and prior to the termination of the agreement, owned or acquired by Smith Electric Vehicles Corp.  In the event of default, this could result in a change of control of American Business Services, Inc.  As of August 6, 2015, this loan has not been repaid. See NOTE 15. Subsequent Events below for further loan agreement default details.

ITEM 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.


Trends and Uncertainties.


We are currently not aware of any trends that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our liquidity.  The Company may never become profitable if it does not obtain sufficient funds or obtain alternate financing to complete our business plan.


Historically, the Company has loaned money through notes receivable on an ongoing basis to various companies related by common control.  At March 31, 2014, all these notes had been sold or repaid as follows:


There were three convertible promissory notes made to Centennial Growth Equities in 2007 and 2008 for a total of $25,100, which was for funds loaned to Centennial Growth Equities and was used for working capital. These notes were not arms-length transactions and were related party transactions as Mr. Ray, the then president of ABS, was also a principal of Centennial Growth Equities at the time the transactions were made.


A note from Centennial Growth Equities, Inc., a company controlled by Mr. Ray, an officer and director at the time the note was made, dated January 10, 2007 in the amount of $17,000, for money that ABS loaned to Centennial Growth Equities in 2006. This note matured on December 31, 2008 and was renewed through December 31, 2013. The note had been accruing interest as of January 1, 2011 at an annual interest of 4% per annum. No interest had been paid on this note.


A note from Centennial Growth Equities, Inc., a company controlled by Mr. Ray, an officer and director at the time the note was made, dated January 10, 2007, in the amount of $4,200, for money that ABS loaned to Centennial Growth Equities in 2007. This note matured on December 31, 2011, and was renewed through December 31, 2013. The note began accruing interest as of January 1, 2012 at a rate of 4% per annum. No interest had been paid on this note.


A note from Centennial Growth Equities, Inc., a company controlled by Mr. Ray, an officer and director at the time the note was made, dated January 10, 2007 in the amount of $3,900 for money that ABS loaned to Centennial Growth Equities in 2008. This note matured on December 31, 2011 and was renewed through December 31, 2013. The note began accruing interest as of January 1, 2012 at a rate of 4% per annum. No interest had been paid on this note.


No formal extension of the term of these notes was executed, however, during the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company exercised its right to convert the three notes receivable from Centennial Growth Equities, Inc. into 2,500,000 shares of its common



17



stock. This stock was then sold to a related party for $6,000. As these notes receivable had been fully provided against in prior periods the Company recognized a gain of $6,000 on the sale. As the sale was to a related party, the gain on sale has been recognized in additional paid in capital.


A note from Original Source Music, Inc., an unaffiliated entity, dated June 1, 2010 in the amount of $2,000 for money loaned to Original Source Music by ABS in 2010. This amount was used as working capital.  The note matured on June 28, 2013.


No formal extension of the term of this note was executed, however, during the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company received payment from Original Source Music, Inc. in the amount of $2,000 in complete satisfaction of the obligation. As this note receivable had been provided against in full in previous periods, we recognized a gain of $2,000 on repayment of this note receivable.


During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the new majority stockholder, Smith Electric Vehicles Corp. advanced $44,475 and $73,555, respectively, on behalf of the Company to pay current invoices received for services that had been rendered to the Company. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $84,683 and $11,128, respectively, has been advanced to the Company.  These advances are unsecured, bear no interest and are repayable on demand.


We currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources.


General and administrative expenses will continue to increase as we implement sales and marketing initiatives.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


Operating activities


During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we incurred a net loss of $73,577.  As a result, we had net cash used for operating activities of $73,577 during the six months ended June 30, 2015.


During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we incurred a net loss of $6,423 adjusted for cash flow purposes by a gain of $2,000 on repayment of a loan previously provided against in full, resulting in net cash used for operating activities of $8,423 during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Investing activities


During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we did not pursue any investing activities.


During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we received $6,000 from the sales of marketable securities, $2,000 from the repayment of a loan and transferred cash of $3,630 on the sale of our subsidiary company, net of sales proceeds of $100.  As a result, we generated cash from investing activities of $4,370 during the six months ended June 30, 2014.


Financing activities


During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we received $73,555 by way of advances under a related party payable from Smith Electric Vehicles Corp. (“Smith”) (an 85.3% owner of American Business Services, Inc.)  Included within the advances was $33,801 in costs associated with negotiations with Smith and FDG Electric Vehicles Ltd (“FDG”), a related party.  These negotiations were in regards to Smith and FDG contributing funds and certain intellectual property (“IP”) to ABS for shares of stock in ABS. ABS was then to develop a strategy for business development using the IP acquired. These negotiations were terminated without any agreement being reached.  We also received $22 from a bank overdraft.  As a result we generated net cash provided by financing activities of $73,577 during the six months ended June 30, 2015.


During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we did not pursue any financing activities.


Results of Operations


Three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014


For the three months ended June 30, 2015, we did not receive any revenues.  We paid general and administrative expenses of $54,110.  As a result, we incurred a net loss of $54,110 for the three months ended June 30, 2015.


Comparatively, for the three months ended June 30, 2014, we received related party revenues of $1,000.  We paid general and administrative expenses of $6,935.  As a result, we incurred a net loss of $5,935 for the three months ended June 30, 2014.


The $48,175 increase in net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014 is due primarily to recognizing no revenue in 2015, coupled with a $47,175, or 680.25%, increase in our general and administrative expenses.  These expenses increased as a result of the reorganization process that occurred due to the new ownership and negotiations with Smith and FDG to contribute funds and certain intellectual property to ABS in return for common shares.  However, these negotiations were terminated without any agreement being reached and all professional fees incurred with respect to the negotiations were expensed in full.

Six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.


During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we did not receive any revenues. We paid general and administrative expenses of $73,577. As a result, we incurred a net loss of $73,577 for the six months ended June 30, 2015.


Comparatively, during the six months ended June 30, 2014, we received related party revenue of $4,000. We paid general and administrative expenses of $12,423. We received $2,000 as repayment of a loan previously reserved against as non-collectible. As a result, we incurred a net loss of $6,423 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.


Our net loss increased by $67,154 due to a $4,000 decrease in revenue and a $2,000 decrease in other income coupled with a $61,154, or 492.26%, increase in our general and administrative expenses. These expenses increased as a result of the reorganization process that occurred due to the new ownership and negotiations with Smith and FDG to contribute funds and certain intellectual property to ABS in return for common shares.  However, these negotiations were terminated without any agreement being reached and all professional fees incurred with respect to the negotiations were expensed in full.


We currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources.  If we are unable to raise funds for the above purposes, it is uncertain if we will be able to continue as a going operation.


Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


Not applicable for smaller reporting companies.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of June 30, 2015.  Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that such controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2015, to
