PART I

Item 1.           Business

 

Business Development

 

                SIRRUS CORP. is a start-up company incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 7, 2014 with a fiscal year ending August 31. We are seeking to engage in the designing, marketing and distribution of electronic cigarettes (“e-cigarette”) in East Africa.

 

Our office is located at Nyeri Motor Services Building, Moi Nyayo Way, Nyeri, Kenya and our telephone number is +254722668059. Our registered statutory office is located at 711 S. Carson Street, Suite 6, Carson City, Nevada 89701, (775) 882-4641. We do not own any property.

 

                E-cigarettes are battery-powered products that simulate tobacco smoking through inhalation of nicotine vapor and non-nicotine vapor without the fire, flame, tobacco, tar, carbon monoxide, ash, stub, smell and other chemicals found in traditional combustible cigarettes.

 

                Africa is poised to become the “future epicenter of the tobacco epidemic,” according to a new analysis from the American Cancer Society[1].  It indicates that the number of adults in Africa who smoke could increase to 572 million by 2100, from 77 million today, unless leaders take steps to curb current trends. The report highlights several reasons for the increase in smoking rates:

 

§ In Africa, 9% of boys and 3% of girls smoke -- both rates are high compared with other developing regions.

§ Africa is set for massive population growth. The region now accounts for 12% of the global population -- this will climb to 30% by 2100. The study concludes that because of this, Africa will have the second-highest number of smokers of any region by 2060.

§ African nations experienced strong economic growth in the 2000s, which means more people have more money to spend on cigarettes.

 

                We believe this strong consumer demand will lead retailers to allocate additional shelf space to smoking related products and we will strive to offer our e-cigarette products at or near points of distribution where traditional cigarettes are available in the markets we serve.  We believe e-cigarettes offer a compelling alternative for smokers, relative to traditional cigarettes.

 

                Our goal is to become the leading e-cigarette marketer and distributor in the East Africa. We expect to achieve our goal by maximizing our points of distribution, maintaining our low-cost position and continuing to differentiate our products and brands in order to resonate with consumers in local markets around the region.  Our plan is to finalize our first distribution agreement by the first quarter of 2016  with a health food company that has multi locations and distribution agreements with three of the top 3 grocery chains in Kenya.  We are currently in negotiations to finalize this distribution agreement and await their various required approvals.

 

                Our strategy is to increase our future sales by penetrating new and emerging markets where we expect rising consumer incomes and an increase in demand for e-cigarettes.  Cigarette smokers in these emerging markets are our target demographic and will represent our primary source of future revenue growth.

 

                We will focus on rapidly securing retail distribution in Kenya and East African markets through strategic partnerships with key retailers and distributors.  We believe strong consumer demand will lead retailers to allocate additional shelf space to smoking related products and we strive to offer our products at or near every point of distribution where traditional cigarettes are available in the markets we serve.  We believe e-cigarettes offer a compelling alternative for smokers, relative to traditional cigarettes. Our goal is to become the leading e-cigarette marketer and distributor in the East Africa. We expect to achieve our goal by maximizing our points of distribution, maintaining our low-cost position and continuing to differentiate our products and brands in order to resonate with consumers in local markets around the region.

The Product Line Offered

 

                The Company has recently purchased a small inventory of 670 single use, single packed, and disposable e-cigarettes to test in the local market of Nairobi, Kenya.  The single packaged, and single use disposable e-cigarettes purchased by the Company range from 8mg to 24mg and are all 9.2mm with a 500 puff life.  These single use e-cigarettes were chosen by the Company as a cost effective way to test the market and the demand.  In addition, the Company also ordered single use and disposable e-cigars which range from16mg-18mg and have a 1,300 puff life. These products have been ordered, shipped but have not been placed in stores yet, but it is anticipated that they will be sold to a wholesaler with distribution in January 2016.

E cigarette-How it Works

 

                An electronic cigarette, also known as an e-cigarette, vapor cigarette or an e-cig, is a cylinder-shaped device made of stainless steel or plastic that imitates a cigarette in terms of its appearance, use and sometimes taste. E-cigarettes produce a vapour that resembles smoke and a glow that resembles the tip of a cigarette. They consist of a battery-powered delivery system that vapourizes and delivers a liquid chemical mixture that may be composed of various amounts of nicotine, propylene glycol, and other chemicals.

 

A typical electronic cigarette consists of three components:

 

·         A cartridge containing nicotine, water, and flavouring in a base of propylene glycol, vegetable glycerine, or polyethylene glycol 400 (Note: not all cartridges or solutions contain nicotine);

·         An atomizer containing a heating element which turns the liquid nicotine into a vapour; and

·         A battery to power the atomizer and the indicator light that glows like a lit cigarette when inhaled.

 

When a user draws air through the electronic cigarette and/or vaporizer, the air flow is detected by a sensor, which activates a heating element that vaporizes the solution stored in the mouthpiece/cartridge, the solution is then vaporized and it is this vapor that is inhaled by the user. The cartridge contains either a nicotine solution or a nicotine free solution, either of which may be flavored.

 

MARKET, INDUSTRY AND OTHER DATA

 

                Unless otherwise indicated, information contained in this report concerning our industry and the markets in which we operate, including our general expectations and market position, market opportunity and market size, is based on information from various sources, on assumptions that we have made that are based on those data and other similar sources and on our knowledge of the markets for our services. These data involve a number of assumptions and limitations. We have not independently verified the accuracy of any third party information. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industry in which we operate is necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in section entitled “Risk Factors” of this report and elsewhere in this report. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by the independent parties and by us.

 

Our Market Opportunity

 

Global Growth

  

                We operate within the rapidly growing and global e-cigarette industry, an emerging product category that is taking market share from the $756 billion global tobacco industry. The American Cancer Society estimates that there are 1.3 billion tobacco smokers in the world, consuming approximately 6 trillion cigarettes per year, or 190 thousand cigarettes per second. Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable illness and death, causing more than 5 million annual deaths across the globe according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”). We believe e-cigarettes offer a compelling alternative for current smokers, relative to traditional cigarettes.

 

                Still in the early stages of its market penetration, the e-cigarette industry is highly fragmented with approximately 250 brands worldwide according to the CDC. Primarily propelled by the cannibalization of the traditional tobacco industry, the global e-cigarette industry has recently experienced dramatic growth. According to Euromonitor, e-cigarettes accounted for approximately $3.5 billion in 2013 global retail sales, with approximately 40% of sales generated in the U.S., 30% of sales generated in Europe, and 30% of sales generated in the rest of the world (“ROW”). Euromonitor estimated that significant market growth was achieved from 2012 to 2013 with the U.S., Europe and ROW generating growth rates of 180%, 160%, and 150%, respectively. Euromonitor projects e-cigarette sales to represent approximately $51 billion, or 4 % of the global tobacco and tobacco alternatives market industry by 2030. We believe that our company will be well positioned to benefit from, and take advantage of, these attractive market trends in the coming years.

Kenya and East African Growth

 

                Cigarette consumption historically has been highest in high-income countries, but because of targeted marketing, increased social acceptability, continued economic development, and population increases, consumption is expected to increase in low- and middle-income countries. Cigarette consumption in Western Europe dropped by 26% between 1990 and 2009 but increased in the Middle East and Africa by 57% during the same period.  Our strategy is to increase our international sales by penetrating new and emerging markets where we expect rising consumer incomes and an increase in demand for e-cigarettes. Kenya is the most developed economy in East Africa. We believe Kenya has favorable market characteristic and is poised for growth in e-cigarette consumption as a viable alternate to tobacco cigarettes. According to Euromonitor, Kenya was a leading nation in growth of smoking prevalence from 2007 to 2012, with an increase of 15% during this time frame. In spite of stronger efforts by the Kenyan government to curb smoking in the country, both retail and illicit trade volume sales of cigarettes continued to increase during 2012. This was mostly the result of an increase in the absolute number of smokers as well as some consumers increasing cigarette consumption. Overall, volume sales increased by 7% in 2012. We believe this continued growth in Kenya represents a market opportunity for growing e-cigarette businesses in the region.  We believe we are well positioned to benefit from, and take advantage of these attractive market trends in the coming years.

 

BUSINESS STRATEGY AND OPERATIONS

 

Internet

 

                We will advertise our products primarily through our direct marketing campaign, on the Internet. We will also attempt to build brand awareness through social media marketing activities, web-site promotions, and pay-per-click advertising campaigns.

 

Point of Sale Marketing

 

                We believe it is vital to invest in point of sale marketing, including impactful displays and product placements within retail stores. We believe that packaging and point of sale marketing and display has the highest return on investment of any marketing activity. We believe our attractive branding and packaging will resonates with our key target audience, providing higher visibility to users at the point of purchase to drive future sales.

 

Moving with Product Trends

 

                The global e-cigarette industry is continually evolving. We will continue to focus our efforts on identifying shifting consumer preferences and responding to those shifts before our competitors. We believe that it is paramount to quickly identify consumer and product trends in each geographic location, analyze and adapt our business as needed, and rapidly drive appropriate changes to our other planned markets. We plan to continue to adapt to new technologies and products in order to increase our share of the market.

 

Distribution and Sales

 

                We will offer our electronic cigarettes and related products through our online store at www.sirruscorp.com  and through a wholesale distributor reseller network for large bulk orders. Since their introduction, electronic cigarettes have predominantly been sold online, while tobacco products, most notably cigarettes are currently sold at retail locations. We believe that future growth of electronic cigarettes is dependent on higher volume, lower margin sales channels, like the broad based distribution network through which tobacco cigarettes are sold. We believe we can increase sales to new and existing retail and distribution customers by offering them attractive value chain economics through competitive mark-ups.  We are focused on rapidly securing additional retail distribution in East African markets through strategic partnerships with key retailers and distributors.  Our plan is to finalize our first distribution agreement by the first quarter of 2016 with a health food company that has multi locations and distribution agreements with three of the top 3 grocery chains in Kenya.  We are currently in negotiations to finalize this distribution agreement and await their various required approvals.

Manufacturing

 

                We have no manufacturing capabilities and do not intend to develop any manufacturing capabilities. We depend on third party manufacturers for our electronic cigarettes, vaporizers and accessories. Any interruption in supply and or consistency of our products may harm our relationships and reputation with customers, and have a materially adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

                The company currently relies on third party manufacturers for the production of our products.  Our products are manufactured on a purchase-order basis with production being initiated following receipt of an initial order and payment from us. On September 17, 2014, we have established two Exclusive Distribution Agreements with two separate e-cigarette manufactures.

 

                The first of the two manufacturers is Shenzhen Jieshibo Technology Co., Ltd (“JSB”) which was founded in 2010.  This high standard and efficient company integrates the development, production, marketing and service that is specialized in the research and development of electronic cigarettes, cartridges and e-liquid.

JSB is located in Shenzhen, a rising modernization city which is next to Hong Kong.  The details of the manufacturer are as follows:

·         29,000 square meters plant area, 7 production buildings, 2 R&D buildings

·         159 automatic production lines

·         More than 2,800 staffs

·         58 in research and development team

·         12 in after-sale service team

·         12 in marketing development team

·         30 in foreign trade team

·         The products from JSB have obtained CE, RoHS, FCC, UL, PSE certificates through TUV detection.

·         Patent certificate: 2 US patent certificates, 7 EU patent certificates, 10 Chinese patent certificates.

·         OEM/ODM experience: 6 years.

 

JSB has earned several world class GMP production workshops, physics and biochemistry labs and has an e-liquid experimental center with precision detecting instruments. Through the ISO22000 food safety and quality management system certification, JSB can make sure that every single product must get through 32 strict detecting processes for world class quality and standards.  Since being founded, the company has offered ODM and OEM service for more than 300 foreign dealers. JSB proprietary brand e-cigs have been sold all over the world.

 

                The Company`s second manufacturer is Shenzhen Langjietong Electronics Co., Ltd., (``SLE``) which was established in 2007 and is located in Shenzhen. SLE is a professional and innovative company engaged in the electronic cigarette research, development, production, sale and service business. SLE offers all kinds of finished electronic cigarettes, atomizers and other e-cigarette related accessories. SLE`s R&D team and engineers have many years of  practical experience with electronic cigarettes. 

               
All materials are in line with environment protection standards. The newest single orientation anti-interference PCB is used. SLE`s finished e-cigarette owns SGS and no Nicotine test report and the power has CE and PSE certifications. Cartridge flavor includes tobacco series (Tobacco, SevenStars, Zhongnanhai, and Marlboro) and fruit series (Apple, Lemon, Strawberry, Chocolate, and Coffee). 

               
SLE customers spread all over the world and include the USA, UK, Australia, Japan and other countries and regions. SLE also accepts OEM and ODM orders as is the case with our company.

 

                Both agreements with our manufacturers stated that we shall undertake to buy not less than 100 of the aforesaid devices during the first three months from the date of the signing of the agreement, which was September 17, 2014. Exclusivity will become effective after the delivery of the initial sample order which we placed to the manufacturer in the first month from the signing of the agreement, which was September 17, 2014, and the sample order was to be no less than 100 devices.  The Company ordered more than 100 devices in the first month of the signing of the agreement and the samples have already been delivered to Kenya as of December 2014.  Thereafter, the Company also purchased a small inventory of 670 single use, single packed, and disposable e-cigarettes to test in the local market of Nairobi, Kenya.  The

 

10


 
 

single packaged, and single use disposable e-cigarettes purchased by the Company range from 8mg to 24 mg and are all 9.2mm with a 500 puff life.  These single use e-cigarettes were chosen by the Company as a cost effective way to test the market and the demand.  In addition, the Company also ordered single use and disposable e-cigars which range from16mg-18mg and have a 1,300 puff life. These products have been ordered, shipped and tested and will be placed in stores to be sold in the first quarter of 2016. 

 

Distributor’s Sales Territory

 

                The sales territory designated for both Agreements is the geographical area of Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Burundi and Southern Sudan as the area mutually agreed upon for which we shall have sales responsibility and in which we will exert our efforts for sales, marketing, and distribution of the aforesaid products.  We will also market our products online, giving access to anyone wanting to purchase our products from our website.

 

 

                Our manufacturer will provide us with finished products, which we plan to hold in inventory for distribution, sale and use. Certain Chinese factories and the products they export have recently been the source of safety concerns and recalls, which is generally attributed to lax regulatory, quality control and safety standards. Should Chinese factories continue to draw public criticism for exporting unsafe products, whether those products relate to our products or not we may be adversely affected by the stigma associated with Chinese production, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

                Although we believe that several alternative sources for our products are available, any failure to obtain the components, chemical constituents and manufacturing services necessary for the production of our products would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition

 

Competition

 

                The e-cigarette industry is extremely competitive with low barriers to entry. Competition is based on availability, brand development and recognition and price. We compete with other sellers of e-cigarettes, such as big tobacco companies- through their electronic cigarettes business segments, independent domestic and international e-cigarette companies, small internet and kiosk e-cigarette companies as well as multiple resellers and distributors.

 

                Our direct competitors sell products that are substantially similar to ours and through the same channels we use to sell our products.   We compete primarily on the basis of product quality, brand recognition, brand loyalty, service, marketing, advertising and price. We are subject to highly competitive conditions in all aspects of our business. The competitive environment and our competitive position can be significantly influenced by weak economic conditions, erosion of consumer confidence, competitors’ introduction of low-priced products or innovative products, cigarette excise taxes, higher absolute prices and larger gaps between price categories, and product regulation that diminishes the ability to differentiate tobacco products. We compete with these direct competitors for sales through the internet as well as distributors, wholesalers and retailers including national chain stores, tobacco shops, gas stations, grocery chains and other outlets associated with the selling of tobacco products.

 

Government Regulation

 

Kenya

 

                The Kenyan government has introduced market-based reforms and provided more incentives for both local and foreign private investment. Foreign investors seeking to establish a presence in Kenya generally receive the same treatment as local investors, and multinational companies make up a large percentage of Kenya's industrial sector. Furthermore, there is no discrimination against foreign investors in access to government-financed research, and the government's export promotion programs do not distinguish between local and foreign-owned goods.

 

11


 
 

                The Companies Ordinance, the Partnership Act, the Foreign Investment Protection Act, and the Investment Promotion Act of 2004 provide the legal framework for foreign direct investment (FDI). To attract investment, the Kenyan government enacted several reforms, including abolishing export and import licensing except for a few items listed in the Imports, Exports and Essential Supplies Act; rationalizing and reducing import tariffs; revoking all export duties and current account restrictions; freeing the Kenya shilling's exchange rate; allowing residents and non-residents to open foreign currency accounts with domestic banks; and removing restrictions on borrowing by foreign as well as domestic companies. In 2005, the Kenyan government reviewed its investment policy and launched a private sector development strategy. One component of this effort was a comprehensive policy review by UNCTAD that was the basis for the 2005 UNCTAD Investment Guide to Kenya, published in conjunction with the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC).

 

                Kenya's investment code, articulated in the Investment Promotion Act of 2004, which came into force in 2005, streamlined the administrative and legal procedures to create a more attractive investment climate. The act’s objective is to attract and facilitate investment by assisting investors in obtaining the licenses necessary to invest and by providing other assistance and incentives. The act replaced the government's Investment Promotion Center with the Kenya Investment Authority (KIA).

 

                Kenyan investment law is modeled on British investment law. The Companies Act, the Investment Promotion Act, and the Foreign Investment Act are the main pieces of legislation governing investment in Kenya. Kenyan law provides protection against the expropriation of private property, except where due process is followed and adequate and prompt compensation is provided. Various bilateral agreements also guarantee further protection with other countries. Expropriation may only occur for either security reasons or public interest. The Kenyan government may revoke a foreign investment license if (1) an untrue statement is made while applying for the license; the provisions of the Investment Promotion Act or of any other law under which the license is granted are breached; or, if (2) there is a breach of the terms and conditions of the general authority. The Investment Promotion Act of 2004 provides for revocation of the license in instances of fraudulent representation to the Kenya Investment Authority (KIA) by giving a written notice to the investor granting 30 days from the date of notice to justify maintaining the license. In practice, the KIA rarely revokes licenses.

 

                Kenya is a member of the World Bank-affiliated Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), which issues guarantees against non-commercial risk to enterprises that invest in member countries. It is also a signatory to the Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes between States and Nationals of Other States. The Convention established the International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) under the auspices of the World Bank. Kenya is also a member of the Africa Trade Insurance Agency (ATIA) as well as many other global and regional organizations and treaties, including the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA); the Cotonou Agreement between the European Union and the African, Caribbean and Pacific States (ACP); the East African Community (EAC); the Paris Convention on Intellectual Property, the Universal Copyright Convention, and the Berne Copyright Convention; the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO); and the World Trade Organization (WTO). Kenya has also signed double taxation treaties with a number of countries, including Canada, China, Germany, France, Japan, Netherlands, and India. On November 27, 2007, Kenya joined with its EAC sister states in signing the first-ever interim economic partnership agreement (EPA) with the European Community (EC). In mid-July 2008, Kenya and its fellow EAC members signed a Trade and Investment Framework Agreement (TIFA) with the United States at the conclusion of the 2008 African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) Forum in Washington, D.C.

 

                Foreign investors are able to obtain credit on the local market; however, the number of credit instruments is relatively small. Legal, regulatory, and accounting systems are generally transparent and consistent with international norms. The corporate tax for newly listed companies is 25 percent for a period of five years from the date of listing. The withholding tax on dividends is 7.5 percent for foreign investors and 5 percent for local investors. Foreign investors can acquire shares in a listed company subject to a minimum reserve ratio of 40 percent of the share capital of the listed company for domestic investors, with the remaining 60 percent considered as a free float available to local, foreign, and regional investors without restrictions on the level of holding. To encourage the transfer of technology and skills, the government allows foreign investors to acquire up to 49 percent of local stockbrokerage firms and up to 70 percent of local fund management companies. Dividends distributed to residents and non-residents are subject to a final withholding tax at the rate of 5 percent. Dividends received by financial institutions as trading income are not subject to tax. In 2007, the Kenyan government granted two fiscal incentives to encourage growth of capital markets: exemption from income tax on interest income accruing from cash flows of securitized assets; and exemption from income tax on interest income accruing from all listed bonds with at least a maturity period of three years. The fiscal incentive targets providers of infrastructure services such as roads, water, power, telecommunication, schools, and hospitals. Company capital expenditures on legal costs and other incidental expenses associated with listing by introduction at the NSE are tax deductible.

                The Kenyan government focuses its investment promotion on opportunities that earn foreign exchange, provide employment, promote backward and forward linkages, and transfer technology. The only significant sectors in which investment (both foreign and domestic) are constrained are those where state corporations still enjoy a statutory monopoly. These monopolies are restricted almost entirely to infrastructure (e.g., power, posts, telecommunications, and ports), although there has been partial liberalization of these sectors. For example, in recent years, five Independent Power Producers (IPPs) have begun operations in Kenya.

 

                Work permits are required for all foreign nationals wishing to work in the country, and the Kenyan government requires foreign employees to be key senior managers or have special skills not available locally. Still, any enterprise, whether local or foreign, may recruit expatriates for any category of skilled labor if Kenyans are not available. Currently, foreign investors seeking to hire expatriates must demonstrate that the specific skills needed are not available locally through an exhaustive search, although the Ministry of Labor plans to replace this requirement with an official inventory of skills that are not available in Kenya, as discussed below. Firms must also sign an agreement with the government describing training arrangements for phasing out expatriates.

 

                Kenya does not have a bilateral investment trade agreement with the United States, although there are hopes that this might change sometime in the future. According to UNCTAD, Kenya has signed bilateral investment agreements with Burundi, China, Finland, France, Germany, Iran, Italy, Libya, Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, although only those with Germany, Italy, Netherlands, and Switzerland have entered into force as of June 2011. Kenya and its EAC partners signed a Trade and Investment Framework Agreement with the United States in July 2008 as a bloc.

 

                A company incorporated outside Kenya may carry on business in Kenya through a subsidiary. In order to establish a subsidiary, the following documents and details must be submitted to the Registrar of Companies within 30 days of establishing such a subsidiary:

 

  •          A certified copy of the Charter, Statutes or Memorandum and Articles of the company, or other instruments defining the constitution of the company;
  •          A list of the directors and the secretary of the company;
  •          A statement of all existing charges entered into by the company affecting properties in Kenya;
  •          Names and postal addresses of one or more persons resident in Kenya authorized to accept, on behalf of the company, service of notices required to be served on the company;
  •          Full address of the registered or principal office of the company in its home country; and
  •          Full address of place of business in Kenya.

 

                Once the process is complete, the Registrar will issue a Certificate of Compliance. The process may take up to 4 weeks. Companies that may want to have representative or liaison offices are required to register using the above process.
  

Kenyan Currency Conversion and Transfer Policies

 

                There are no restrictions on the transfer of funds from the Kenyaoperating company to  the Nevada corporation  for the payment  of dividends to our shareholders or otherwise.  As of December 1995, Kenya repealed its Foreign Exchange Control Act (ministerial decrees had previously removed nearly all limitations). There are no remaining restrictions on converting or transferring funds associated with an investment. No recent changes or plans to tighten remittance policies exist. Foreign exchange is readily available. Kenya has had a floating exchange rate since late 1993. On July 1, 1996, Kenyan shillings became freely convertible into Tanzanian and Ugandan shillings and vice versa.

 

                Kenya’s Foreign Investment Protection Act (FIPA) guarantees capital repatriation and remittance of dividends and interest to foreign investors, who are free to convert and repatriate profits including un-capitalized retained profits (proceeds of an investment after payment of the relevant taxes and the principal and interest associated with any loan). Kenya has no restrictions on converting or transferring funds associated with investment. Kenyan law requires the declaration of amounts above KSH 500,000 (about $5,600) as a formal check against money laundering. Foreign exchange is readily available from commercial banks and foreign exchange bureaus and can be freely bought and sold by local and foreign investors. The Kenyan shilling has a floating exchange rate tied to a basket of foreign currencies.

United Nations Guidelines on Privacy

 

                The right of privacy is well established in international law. The core privacy principle in modern law may be found in the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Article 12 of the UDHR states ""No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honor and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks."

 

                The UN Guidelines for the Regulation of Computerized Personal Data Files (1990) set out Fair Information Practices and recommend the adoption of national guidelines to protect personal privacy. Appropriately, the UN Guidelines note that derogation from these principles "may be specifically provided for when the purpose of the file is the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms of the individual concerned or humanitarian assistance."  More generally, the protection of privacy is considered a fundamental human right, indispensable to the protection of liberty and democratic institutions.

 

International Regulation

 

                The Tobacco industry expects significant regulatory developments to take place internationally over the next few years, driven principally by the World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (“FCTC”). As of May 6, 2014, 178 countries, as well as the European Community, have become parties to the FCTC. The FCTC is the first international public health treaty on tobacco, and its objective is to establish a global agenda for tobacco regulation with the purpose of reducing initiation of tobacco use and encouraging cessation. Regulatory initiatives that have been proposed, introduced or enacted include:

 

 

 

the levying of substantial and increasing tax and duty charges;

 

 

 

restrictions or bans on advertising, marketing and sponsorship;

 

 

 

the display of larger health warnings, graphic health warnings and other labeling requirements;

 

 

 

restrictions on packaging design, including the use of colors and generic packaging;

 

 

 

restrictions or bans on the display of tobacco product packaging at the point of sale, and restrictions or bans on cigarette vending machines;

 

 

 

requirements regarding testing, disclosure and performance standards for tar, nicotine, carbon monoxide and other smoke constituents levels;

 

 

 

requirements regarding testing, disclosure and use of tobacco product ingredients;

 

 

 

increased restrictions on smoking in public and work places and, in some instances, in private places and outdoors;

 

 

 

elimination of duty free allowances for travelers; and

 

 

 

encouraging litigation against tobacco companies.

 

                If e-cigarettes are subject to one or more significant regulatory initiatives enacted under the FCTC, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

General

 

                We cannot predict the scope of any of the new rules described above or the impact they may have on our company specifically or the e-cigarette industry generally, though they could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In this regard, total compliance and related costs are not possible to predict and depend on the future requirements imposed by the EU Member States under the Tobacco Product Directive or by any other relevant regulatory authority under applicable law. Costs, however, could be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and ability to market and sell our products. In addition, failure to comply with any of the rules promulgated in accordance with the Tobacco Product Directive or any other applicable law could result in significant financial penalties and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, if we are ultimately required to obtain a license to sell e-cigarettes as a medicine in the United Kingdom or elsewhere in the EU, we can give no assurances that we would be able to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the relevant competent authorities that the conditions for granting a marketing authorization are satisfied,. At present, we are not able to predict whether any of the regulation described above will impact us to a greater degree than competitors in the industry, thus affecting our competitive position

 

Government Regulation: Internet

 

                We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations applicable to businesses generally in the United States, where our business is incorporated in the state of Nevada. We are also subject to a number of foreign and domestic laws and regulations that affect companies conducting business on the Internet, many of which are still evolving and could be interpreted in ways that could harm our business.  In the United States and abroad, laws relating to the liability of providers of online services for activities of their users and other third parties are currently being tested by a number of claims, including actions based on invasion of privacy and other torts, unfair competition, copyright and trademark infringement, and other theories based on the nature and content of the materials searched, the ads posted, or the content provided by users. Any court ruling or other governmental action that imposes liability on providers of online services for the activities of their users and other third parties could harm our business. In addition, rising concern about the use of data collection and GPS tracking technologies for illegal conduct, such as the unauthorized dissemination of national security information, money laundering or supporting terrorist activities may in the future produce legislation or other governmental action that could require changes to our products or services, restrict or impose additional costs upon the conduct of our business or cause users to abandon material aspects of our service.

 

                In the area of information security and data protection, many states have passed laws requiring notification to users when there is a security breach for personal data, such as the 2002 amendment to California’s Information Practices Act, or requiring the adoption of minimum information security standards that are often vaguely defined and difficult to practically implement. The costs of compliance with these laws may increase in the future as a result of changes in interpretation. Furthermore, any failure on our part to comply with these laws may subject us to significant liabilities.

 

                We are also subject to federal, state, and foreign laws regarding privacy and protection of member data. We intend to post on our website a privacy policy and user agreement, which will describe our practices concerning the use, transmission and disclosure of member data. Any failure by us to comply with our posted privacy policy or privacy related laws and regulations could result in proceedings against us by governmental authorities or others, which could harm our business. In addition, the interpretation of privacy and data protection laws, and their application to the Internet is unclear, evolving and in a state of flux. There is a risk that these laws may be interpreted and applied in conflicting ways from state to state, country to country, or region to region, and in a manner that is not consistent with our current data protection practices, or that new regulations will be enacted. Complying with these varying domestic and international requirements could cause us to incur additional costs and change our business practices. Further, any failure by us to adequately protect our members’ privacy and data could result in a loss of member confidence in our services and ultimately in a loss of members and customers, which could adversely affect our business.

 

                In addition, because our services are accessible worldwide, certain foreign jurisdictions may claim that we are required to comply with their laws, including in jurisdictions where we have no local entity, employees, or infrastructure.

 

Intellectual Property

 

                We do not currently possess any intellectual property that has been approved nor pending.

He is not being paid at present.

 

There are no employment agreements in existence. We presently do not have pension, health, annuity, insurance, stock options, profit sharing or similar benefit plans; however, we may adopt plans in the future. Management does not plan to hire additional employees at this time. Our sole officer and director will be responsible for the initial servicing.

Item 7.           Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

The information set forth in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of  Operations (“MD&A”) contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, among others (i) expected changes in our revenue and profitability, (ii) prospective business opportunities and (iii) our strategy for financing our business. Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical information or statements of current condition. Some forward-looking statements may be identified by use of terms such as “believes”, “anticipates”, “intends” or “expects”. These forward-looking statements relate to our plans, liquidity, ability to complete financing and purchase capital expenditures, growth of our business including entering into future agreements with companies, and plans to successfully develop and obtain approval to market our product. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs.

 

Although we believe that our expectations with respect to the forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of our knowledge of our business and operations, in light of the risks and uncertainties inherent in all future projections, the inclusion of forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives or plans will be achieved.

 

We assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in factors or assumptions affecting forward-looking statements.

 

Our revenues and results of operations could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors, including, but not limited to, the following: the risk of significant natural disaster, the inability of the our company to insure against certain risks, inflationary and deflationary conditions and cycles, currency exchange rates, and changing government regulations domestically and internationally affecting our products and businesses.

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes attached hereto, and the other financial data appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

   

US Dollars are denoted herein by “USD”, "$" and "dollars".

  

Overview

 

                Sirrus Corp. is a start-up company that seeks to engage in the designing, marketing and distribution of electronic cigarettes (“e-cigarette”) in East Africa. Our goal is to become a leading e-cigarette marketer and distributor in the East Africa. We expect to achieve our goal by maximizing our points of distribution, maintaining our low-cost position and continuing to differentiate our products and brands in order to resonate with consumers in local markets around the region. Our strategy is to increase our future sales by penetrating new and emerging markets where we expect rising consumer incomes and an increase in demand for e-cigarettes.  Cigarette smokers in these emerging markets are our target demographic and will represent our primary source of future revenue growth.

 

                We plan to focus on rapidly securing retail distribution in Kenya and East African markets through strategic partnerships with key retailers and distributors.  We believe strong consumer demand will lead retailers to allocate additional shelf space to smoking related products and we strive to offer our products at or near every point of distribution where traditional cigarettes are available in the markets we serve.  We believe e-cigarettes offer a compelling alternative for smokers, relative to traditional cigarettes. Our goal is to become a leading e-cigarette marketer and distributor in the East Africa. We expect to achieve our goal by establishing an E-commerce presence, maximizing our points of distribution, maintaining our low-cost position and continuing to differentiate our products and brands in order to resonate with consumers in local markets around the region.

Plan of Operations

 

                Our business objectives for the next twelve months (beginning upon completion of this Offering), provided the necessary funding is available, are to expand upon our business with a focus on the development of our e-cigarette distribution and sales.

 

                We believe that we will be able to generate revenue once we secure 4 distribution contracts and through a direct public offering of our shares pursuant a registration statement that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 26, 2015.  If we are able to establish additional contracts, we hope to generate additional revenue and prove our business model to be effective.   However, even if we are able to sell all of the shares being registered under the registration statement, we will still require an additional $180,000 in order to carry out our anticipated business operations for the next twelve months.  It is management’s goal to continue raising capital, we will be able to secure distribution contacts, generate revenues and attract additional financing.  However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to sell any of the shares under the registration statement, establish distribution contracts, or generate revenues from our operations.  There can also be no assurance that we will be able to raise the additional capital we require to operate our business for the next twelve months.

 

                The following chart provides an overview of our budgeted expenditures for the next twelve months.  The expenditures are categorized by significant area of activity.

**Salaries will be paid to future employees or consultants retained to assist the Company with its sales and marketing efforts. Consultants may also be retained to contribute special expertise not possessed by the sole officer and director of the Company.

***General and administrative expenses are the costs which we will incur sustaining our day to day business. These include such costs such as rent, phone, utilities, insurance, business licenses and incidental expenses.

   

                Our Company will use the funds raised by our public offering to pay for the expenses related to our offering and the expenses to maintain our reporting status for twelve months after the effective date. Our plan of operations is based on the net proceeds from our offering (gross proceeds less expenses related to this offering, estimated at a fixed cost of $10,000 and expenses to maintain our report status for twelve months after effective date, estimated at a fixed cost of $17,500).

  

                We currently do not have any arrangements in place for the completion of any further private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any further private placement financings. If we are unable to achieve the necessary additional financing, then we plan to reduce the amounts that we spend on our business activities and administrative expenses in order to be within the amount of capital resources that are available to us.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates

 

                The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon the accompanying consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are expressed in United States Dollars. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financial statements.  

 

20


 
 

Inventory

 

                Inventory is recorded at lower of cost or market; cost is computed on a first-in first-out basis.  The inventory consists of e-cigarettes.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

                Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the following conditions are satisfied:

 

·         The Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;

·         The Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

·         The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

·         It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity; and

·         The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

                We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

                Our company’s planned operations will be in the United States, which results in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The financial risk is the risk to our company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, our company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. Our company’s functional currency for all operations worldwide is the U.S. dollar. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates and monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the end of the year. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the year. Gains and losses from translation of foreign currency financial statements into US dollars are included in current results of operations.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements  

 

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

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

 

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Sirrus Corp.

Carson City, Nevada

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Sirrus Corp. as of August 31, 2015 and 2014 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year ended August 31, 2015 and period from May 7, 2014 (Inception) to August 31, 2014. Sirrus Corp.’s management is responsible for these financial statements.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sirrus Corp. as of August 31, 2015 and 2014 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended August 31, 2015 and period from May 7, 2014 (Inception) to August 31, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Sirrus Corp. will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, Sirrus Corp. has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SIRRUS CORP.
Notes to the Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1.           NATURE OF BUSINESS AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

 

Sirrus Corp. (the “Company”) was formed on May 7, 2014 in Nevada.  The Company is engaged in the business of designing, marketing and distributing electronic cigarettes (“e-cigarette”) in East Africa. The Company’s products and services are all in the startup stage.  

 

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will continue to realize it assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.  As of August 31, 2015, the Company has incurred losses totaling $52,605 since inception, has not yet generated revenue from operations, and will require additional funds to maintain our operations.   These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. The Company intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months through continued financial support from its shareholders and private placements of common stock. 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.

 

NOTE 2.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

a)       Basis of Presentation

 

These financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and are expressed in US dollars. The Company’s year end is August 31.

 

b)       Estimates and Assumptions

 

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

 

c)       Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

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

 

d)       Foreign Currency Transactions

 

The Company’s planned operations are outside of the United States, which results in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates.  The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates.  Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.  Nonmonetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates and monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the end of the year.  Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the year.  Gains and losses from translation of foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in current results of operations.

F-6


 
 

 

NOTE 2.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

e)         Inventory 

 

Inventory is recorded at lower of cost or market; cost is computed on a first-in first-out basis.  The inventory consists of e-cigarettes.

 

f)       Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the following conditions are satisfied:

·         The Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;

·         The Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

·         The amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

·         It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity; and

·         The costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

 

g)       Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share (“EPS”)

 

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. At August 31, 2015, the Company had no potentially dilutive securities outstanding.

 

h)         Stock-Based Compensation

 

Compensation costs attributable to stock options or similar equity instruments granted are measured at the fair value at the grant date, and expensed over the expected vesting period.  We did not grant any stock options during the year ended August 31, 2015.

 

i)        Income Taxes

 

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

NOTE 2.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

j)       Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent disclosure consideration.

 

k)         New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements- Going Concern. The Update provides U.S. GAAP guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2014-15 on the consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 3.           STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

a)       The Company’s authorized capital consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.00001 and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.00001.

 

b)       On May 7, 2014, 25,000,000 shares of common stock were issued to the sole director of the Company at $0.001 per share for cash proceeds of $25,000.

 

c)       On May 22, 2015, the Company issued a total of 10,763,339 shares of common shares at $0.003 per share for total cash proceeds of $32,290.

 

NOTE 4.                COMMITMENTS

 

On September 17, 2014, the Company entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Shenzhen Kangxin Technology Co., Ltd to distribute e-cigarettes on behalf of the Company for the next five years.  This is an exclusive distribution agreement for the territories of Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Burundi, and the Southern Sudan.  The Company is required to purchase a total of 100 devices as an initial order and an additional 100 devices in the first year of the agreement in order for the agreement to be extended.  The devices carry a manufacturer’s warranty of one year. As of August 31, 2015, the Company fulfilled its requirement to purchase a total of 100 devices with the manufacturer’s warranty of five years.

 

NOTE 5.           RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

As of August 31, 2015, the Company owed $386 to its president and director, Ahmed Guled, for incorporation fees, product purchases, and travel expenses that he paid for on the Company’s behalf.  The total amount is unsecured, non-interest bearing, and has no specific terms for repayment.

NOTE 6.           INCOME TAXES

 

The Company is subject to United States federal income taxes at an approximate rate of 35%. The reconciliation of the provision for income taxes at the United States federal statutory rate compared to the Company’s income tax expense as reported is as follows:

Item 9.           Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 

                There were no disagreements related to accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, internal controls or auditing scope or procedure during the two fiscal years and interim periods.

 

Item 9A.        Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

                Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer). We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of August 31, 2015. Based upon the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the August 31, 2015, principal executive officer, principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of the identification of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting which is identified below, and we view as an integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

                Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

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

 

                Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of overriding controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

                The material weakness relates to the lack of segregation of duties in our financial reporting process and our utilization of outside third party consultants. We do not have a separately designated audit committee. This weakness is due to our lack of sufficient working capital to hire additional staff. To remedy this material weakness, we intend to engage an internal accounting staff to assist with financial reporting as soon as our finances will allow.

 

 

 

 

 

23


 
 

Changes in Internal Control

 

                There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) during the last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Item 9B.        Other Information

 

None.

 

PART III

 

Item 10.         Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance

 

               Our directors will serve in that capacity until our next annual shareholder meeting or until their successors are elected and qualified. Officers hold their positions at the will of our board of directors. There are no arrangements, agreements or understandings between non-management security holders and management under which non-management security holders may directly or indirectly participate in or influence the management of our affairs.

Significant Employees

 

                There are no individuals other than our executive officers who make a significant contribution to our business.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

                To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers has, during the past ten years:

 

1.    been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences);

2.    had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against the business or property of the person, or of any partnership, corporation or business association of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy filing or within two years prior to that time;

4.    been found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated;

24

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

 

                Our common stock is not registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Accordingly, our officers, directors, and principal stockholders are not subject to the beneficial ownership reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

 

Other Directorships

 

                None of our directors hold any other directorships in any company with a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act or subject to the requirements of section 15(d) of such Act or any company registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

 

Board of Directors and Director Nominees

 

                Since our board of directors does not include a majority of independent directors, the decisions of the board regarding director nominees are made by persons who have an interest in the outcome of the determination. The board will consider candidates for directors proposed by security holders, although no formal procedures for submitting candidates have been adopted. Unless otherwise determined, at any time not less than 90 days prior to the next annual board meeting at which the slate of director nominees is adopted, the board will accept written submissions from proposed nominees that include the name, address and telephone number of the proposed nominee; a brief statement of the nominee’s qualifications to serve as a director; and a statement as to why the security holder submitting the proposed nominee believes that the nomination would be in the best interests of our security holders. If the proposed nominee is not the same person as the security holder submitting the name of the nominee, a letter from the nominee agreeing to the submission of his or her name for consideration should be provided at the time of submission. The letter should be accompanied by a résumé supporting the nominee's qualifications to serve on the board, as well as a list of references.

 

                The board identifies director nominees through a combination of referrals from different people, including management, existing board members and security holders. Once a candidate has been identified, the board reviews the individual's experience and background and may discuss the proposed nominee with the source of the recommendation. If the board believes it to be appropriate, board members may meet with the proposed nominee before making a final determination whether to include the proposed nominee as a member of the slate of director nominees submitted to security holders for election to the board.

 

                Some of the factors which the board considers when evaluating proposed nominees include their knowledge of and experience in business matters, finance, capital markets and mergers and acquisitions. The board may request additional information from each candidate prior to reaching a determination. The board is under no obligation to formally respond to all recommendations, although as a matter of practice, it will endeavor to do so.

 

Code of Ethics

 

                We have not adopted a code of ethics that applies to our officers, directors and employees.

 

 

25


 
 

Board and Committee Meetings

 

                Our board of directors held no formal meetings during the year ended August 31, 2015. All proceedings of the board of directors were conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by all the directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the directors. Such resolutions consented to in writing by the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the directors are, according to the Nevada Revised Statues and our Bylaws, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called and held.

 

Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

                Our board of directors has determined that none of the members of our audit committee qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K, and is “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

                We believe that the members of our board of directors are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. We believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated any material revenues to date. In addition, we currently do not have nominating, compensation or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor do we have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our board of directors does not believe that it is necessary to have such committees because it believes the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by our board of directors.

 

Family Relationships

 

                There are no family relationships among our officers, directors, or persons nominated for such positions.

 

Item 11.     Executive Compensation

Employment Agreements

 

                We have not entered into any employment agreements with our executive officers.

 

Compensation of Directors

 

                Our directors did not receive any compensation for their services as directors from our inception to August 31, 2015. We have no formal plan for compensating our directors for their services in the future in their capacity as directors, although such directors are expected in the future to receive options to purchase shares of our common stock as awarded by our board of directors or by any compensation committee that may be established.

 

Pension, Retirement or Similar Benefit Plans

 

                There are no arrangements or plans in which we provide pension, retirement or similar benefits to our directors or executive officers. We have no material bonus or profit sharing plans pursuant to which cash or non-cash compensation is or may be paid to our directors or executive officers, except that stock options may be granted at the discretion of the board of directors or a committee thereof.

 

Item 12.     Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

 

                The following table sets forth, as of August 31, 2015, certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common shares by each shareholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common shares, as well as by each of our current directors and executive officers as a group. Each person has sole voting power with respect to the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated. Beneficial ownership consists of a direct interest in the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated.

 

                Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on August 31, 2015. As of August 31, 2015, there were 35,763,339 shares of our Company’s common stock issued and outstanding. Unless otherwise stated, the address of the shareholder is c/o Sirrus Corp., Nyeri Motor Services Building, Moi Nyayo Way, Nyeri, Kenya.

Item 14.     Principal Accounting Fees and Services

 

                The aggregate fees billed for the most recently completed fiscal years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows:

                Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before our independent auditors are engaged by us to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be:

 

  • approved by our audit committee (which consists of our entire board of directors); or
  • entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the board of directors, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the board of directors is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the board of directors' responsibilities to management.

 

28


 
 

                Our board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.

 

                Our board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our independent auditors and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining our independent auditors’ independence.
