TECH FOUNDRY VENTURES, INC.

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements (Unaudited)

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Tech Foundry Ventures, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on February 27, 2014.

 

Subsequent to period end the Company split its common stock on a 10:1 basis. All shares and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to account for the split. The outstanding share capital of the Company as at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 exceeds the authorized share capital as a result of the restatement, however, prior to the stock split, the Company cancelled 180,000,0000 common shares. As a result, the actual common shares outstanding do not exceed those authorized.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established a source of revenues to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

 

The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management intends to obtain additional funding by borrowing funds, and/or a private placement of common stock.

 

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). They do not include all information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

 

NOTE 3 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

As at March 31, 2016, the Company’s three shareholders had advanced $93,000 (December 31, 2015 - $63,000) to fund working capital expenses. These advances are unsecured and do not carry an interest rate or repayment terms.

 

6 
   

 

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, the Company issued 800,000 shares to Nevada Canyon Gold Corporation, a Company with the President and CEO in common with the Company, to purchase its corporate name, domain name, and all related content (Note 6).

 

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Nevada Canyon Gold Corporation, a company with the President and CEO in common with the Company (Note 4).

 

NOTE 4 – MINERAL PROPERTY INTEREST

 

On December 17, 2015, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Nevada Canyon Gold Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“NCG”), to acquire all of NCG’s rights, titles and interests in and into an exploration agreement with an option to form a joint venture with Walker River Resources Corp., a Canadian public company (“WRR”), dated September 15, 2015 (the “Agreement”). WRR owns a 100% undivided interest in and to the Lapon Canyon Gold Property, containing the Lapon Canyon claims, which is the subject of the Agreement.

 

The Agreement does not grant the Company an interest in or to the Lapon Canyon claims, or any equity interest in WRR, but rather, grants the Company the right to earn up to an undivided 50% interest in the Lapon Canyon claims by incurring expenditures of $500,000, over a two-year period, in exploration expenses in a work program established and operated by WRR on the Lapon Canyon claims and, thereafter, grants the Company an option to enter into a joint venture with WRR for further exploration and development of the Lapon Canyon claims. The Agreement also grants the Company the first right of refusal to acquire an additional 20% interest in the Lapon Canyon claims by the expenditure of additional funds and performance of additional tasks, all related to the joint venture.

 

Full consideration for all rights in and to the Agreement consisted of the following: payment of $65,000 by the Company to NGC, consisting of an initial cash payment of $25,000 deposit, a cash payment of $30,000 and the balance of $10,000 paid through the issuance of 1,000,000 Restricted common shares of the Company issued to NGC at a price of $0.01. All consideration had been fully paid as at December 31, 2015.

 

NOTE 5 – NOTE PAYABLE

 

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company loaned $100,000 from an unrelated party. The loan bears an interest rate of 5%. All outstanding principal and interest is due on July 31, 2016.

 

NOTE 6 – STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

 

The Company was formed with one class of common stock, $0.0001 par value and is authorized to issue 100,000,000 common shares and one class of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value and is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares. Voting rights are not cumulative and, therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the common stock could, if they chose to do so, elect all of the directors of the Company.

 

Subsequent to period end the Company split its common stock on a 10:1 basis. All shares and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to account for the split. The outstanding share capital of the Company as at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 exceeds the authorized share capital as a result of the restatements, however, prior to the stock split, the Company cancelled 180,000,0000 common shares. As a result, the actual common shares outstanding do no exceed those authorized.

 

On March 30, 2016, the Company issued 800,000 shares with a total fair value of $8,000 to purchase the intangible assets of NCG which included its corporate name and its domain name and all related content, which was expensed and included in corporate costs.

NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On April 4, 2015, each of the Company’s three founding shareholders, tendered 60,000,000 common shares for cancellation. As a result, a total of 180,000,000 common shares were cancelled and returned to the Company’s treasury to a status of authorized but unissued. The cancelling shareholders provided a release for the benefit of the Company releasing the Company from any potential loss resulting from their cancellation.

 

Effective April 28, 2016, after the cancellation of shares as described above, the Company completed a 10:1 split of the its common stock. The stock split did not change the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company, as stated in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended. The stock split did not affect the par value of the Company’s common stock. As a result, the stated capital on the Company’s balance sheet attributable to the Company’s common stock was increased proportionately based on the stock split ratio, and the additional paid-in capital account was credited with the amount by which the stated capital was increased.

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 2 of Part I of this report include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (collectively, the “Reform Act”). The Reform Act provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about themselves so long as they identify these statements as forward-looking and provide meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ from the projected results. All statements, other than statements of historical fact that we make in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “will continue,” “estimates,” “plans,” “projects,” the negative of these terms and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean the statement is not forward-looking.

 

Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties or other factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions, which in turn are based on currently available information. Certain risks, uncertainties or other important factors are detailed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and may be detailed from time to time in other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including on Forms 8-K and 10-K.

 

Examples of forward looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, our expectations regarding our ability to generate operating cash flows and to fund our working capital and capital expenditure requirements. Important assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements include, among others, assumptions regarding demand for our future products, the timing and cost of capital expenditures, competitive conditions and general economic conditions. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Although we believe that the estimates and projections reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations may prove to be incorrect. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results and events anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements include:

 

    the risks of a development stage company;
     
  management’s plans, objectives and budgets for its future operations and future economic performance;
     
  capital budget and future capital requirements;
     
  meeting future capital needs;
     
  our dependence on management and the need to recruit additional personnel;
     
  limited trading for our common stock, if listed or quoted
     
  the level of future expenditures;
     
  impact of recent accounting pronouncements;
     
  the outcome of regulatory and litigation matters; and
     
  the assumptions described in this report underlying such forward-looking statements. Actual results and developments may materially differ from those expressed in or implied by such statements due to a number of factors, including:
     
  those described in the context of such forward-looking statements;
     
  future product development and marketing costs;
     
  timely development and acceptance of our consulting services;

 

8 
   

 

  the markets of our domestic operations;
     
  the impact of competitive products and pricing;
     
  the political, social and economic climate in which we conduct operations; and
     
  the risk factors described in other documents and reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Registration Statement on Form S-1/A (SEC File No. 333-196075).

 

We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all of those risks, nor can we assess the impact of all of those risks on our business or the extent to which any factor may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable. However, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and unless required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update publicly any of them in light of new information or future events.

 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations

 

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations and is provided as a supplement to the accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements and notes to help provide an understanding of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows during the periods included in the accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements.

 

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, “Company,” “the Company,” “us,” and “our” refer to Tech Foundry Ventures, Inc., a Nevada corporation, unless the context requires otherwise.

 

We intend the following discussion to assist in the understanding of our financial position and our results of operations for the three ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. You should refer to the Financial Statements and related Notes in conjunction with this discussion.

 

Results of Operations

 

General

 

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 27, 2014 with fiscal year end in December 31. We are a development stage enterprise that seeks to become a consulting service company, to provide management and consulting services to early and middle stage start-ups. Since beginning operations in March 2014, we have not been engaged by any start-ups to provide any services and we have accumulated losses in the amount of $199,371 as of March 31, 2016. We have never been party to any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding, nor have we undergone any material reclassification, merger, consolidation, purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business.

 

We have yet to commence planned operations to any significant measure. As of the date of this quarterly report, we have had only limited start-up operations and have not generated any revenues. We will not be profitable until we derive sufficient revenues and cash flows from the sale of our consulting services. Our chief executive officer and director, Jeffrey A. Cocks, is our only employee. Mr. Cocks will devote at least ten hours per week to us but may increase the number of hours as necessary.

 

As of March 31, 2016, we had $35,299 cash on hand and in the bank. Management believes this amount will not satisfy our cash requirements for the next six months. We plan to satisfy our future cash requirements - primarily the working capital required for operations by loans from our shareholders or additional equity financing. The additional equity financings will likely be in the form of private placements of common stock. As of March 31, 2016, the Company borrowed $93,000 from its three founding shareholders.

 

Management believes that if subsequent private placements are successful, we will generate revenues within the following twelve months thereof. However, additional equity financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all, and thus we could fail to satisfy our future cash requirements.

 

If we are unsuccessful in raising the additional proceeds through a private placement offering, we will then have to seek additional funds through debt financing, which would be highly difficult for a new development stage company with nominal assets to secure. Therefore, we are highly dependent upon the success of a future private placement offering and failure thereof would result in our having to seek capital from other resources such as debt financing, which may not even be available to us. However, if such financing were available, because we are a development stage company with no operations to date, we would likely have to pay additional costs associated with high-risk loans and be subject to an above market interest rate. At such time these funds are required, management would evaluate the terms of such debt financing and determine whether the business could sustain operations and growth and manage the debt load. If we cannot raise additional proceeds via a private placement of our common stock or secure debt financing we would be required to cease business operations. As a result, investors in our common stock would lose all of their investment.

 

9 
   

 

We have no current plans, preliminary or otherwise, to merge with any other entity although we may consider such plans in the future.

 

At the present time, we are negotiating with various investors to obtain additional equity financing. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional capital from these negotiations. If are unable to raise additional capital, we will either suspend marketing operations until we do raise the cash, or cease operations entirely. Other than as described in this paragraph and the preceding paragraphs, we have no other financing plans.

 

Management does not plan to hire additional employees at this time. Our officers and directors will be responsible for the initial product and service sourcing. We intend to hire independent consultants as necessary.

 

Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates.

 

Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.

 

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our unaudited condensed interim financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our unaudited condensed interim financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities, which are not readily apparent from other sources. In addition, these accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the notes to the unaudited condensed interim financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2016, together with notes thereto, which are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our most recent audited on Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015

 

Revenues. We had no revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016 or for the comparable period in 2015.

 

Operating expenses. Operating expenses include exploration expenses, general and administrative expenses, professional fees and transfer agent and filing fees. In total, operating expenses increased $5,727, or 20.89%, to $33,144 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $27,417 for the comparable period in 2015. The components of operating expenses are discussed below.

 

  Exploration expenses increased by $24,953, or 100.00%, to $24,953 for the three-months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $0 for the comparable period in 2015. The increase is due to the Company’s investment in its joint venture with Walker River Resources Corp.
     
  General and administrative expenses increased $3,069, or 129.33%, to $5,442 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared with $2,373 for the comparable period in 2015. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase of travel and entertainment expenses.

  Professional fees decreased $10,464, or 80.72%, to $2,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared with $12,964 for the comparable period in 2015. The decrease is attributable to a $10,000 decrease in legal fees and a $464 in decrease in accounting fees.
     
  Transfer agent and filing fees increased $11,831, or 97.94%, to $249 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared with $12,080 for the comparable period in 2015. The decrease is primarily attributable to the reduction in transfer agent fees that were previously incurred in engaging the Company’s transfer agent.

 

Net loss. Our net loss increase $14,960, or 54.56%, to $42,377 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $27,417 for the comparable period in 2015. The increase is primarily attributable to the operating expenses discussed above plus the one-time write off of our intangible asset due to impairment.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources. From February 2014 to December 31, 2015, our three founding shareholders loaned us $63,000 and, in January 2016, one of our founding shareholders loaned us an additional $30,000. These advances are interest-free and our lenders have orally agreed to defer repayment until we are financial able to repay the advances. We intend to seek additional financing for our working capital, in the form of equity or debt, to provide us with the necessary capital to accomplish our plan of operation. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to raise additional capital.

 

Our total assets are $101,209 as of March 31, 2016, consisting of $35,299 in cash. Our working capital deficit was $159,271 as of March 31, 2016.

 

Our total liabilities are $195,480 as of March 31, 2016, which includes $822 of accounts payable and $93,000 in advances from shareholders and $101,658 in notes payable.

 

As of March 31, 2016, our total stockholders’ deficit is $94,271 and we have an accumulated deficit of $199,371.

 

Our net cash used in operating activities decreased $2,758, or 7.56%, to $33,728 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared with $36,486 for the comparable period in 2015. The decrease is attributable to an increase in our net loss offset by accrued interest expense and the impairment of our intangible asset and a decrease in our accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

 

We had no cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 or for the comparable period in 2015.

 

Our cash provided by financing activities increased $21,500, or 252.94%, to $30,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared with $8,500 for the comparable period in 2015. The increase is attributable to $30,000 in common stock issued for cash.

 

We do not have funds sufficient for pursuing our plan of operation, but we are in the process of trying to procure funds sufficient to fund our operations until we are able to finance our operations through cash flow. There can be no assurance that we will be able to procure funds sufficient for such purpose. If operating difficulties or other factors (many of which are beyond our control) delay our realization of revenues or cash flows from operations, we may be limited in our ability to pursue our business plan. Moreover, if our resources from obtaining additional capital or cash flows from operations, once we commence them, do not satisfy our operational needs or if unexpected expenses arise due to unanticipated pressures or if we decide to expand our business plan beyond its currently anticipated level or otherwise, we will require additional financing to fund our operations, in addition to anticipated cash generated from our operations. Additional financing might not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds were not available or were not available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund our operations, take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, develop or enhance our business or otherwise respond to competitive pressures would be significantly limited. In a worst-case scenario, we might not be able to fund our operations or to remain in business, which could result in a total loss of our stockholders’ investment. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders would be reduced, and these newly issued securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders.

 

The Company had no formal long-term lines or credit or other bank financing arrangements as of March 31, 2016.

 

The Company has no current plans for the purchase or sale of any plant or equipment.

 

The Company has no current plans to make any changes in the number of employees.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

 

The Company has a prospective income tax benefit resulting from a net operating loss carry forward and startup costs that may offset any future operating profit.

 

Impact of Inflation

 

The Company believes that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations over the past quarter.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

The Company expended no amounts on capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

Plan of Operation

 

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 27, 2014. We have never declared bankruptcy, have never been in receivership, and have never been involved in any legal action or proceedings. From inception to November 2015, we did not make any significant purchase or sale of assets. On December 17, 2015, we acquired an exploration agreement with option to form a joint venture with Walker River Resources, from Nevada Canyon Gold, which required a $65,000 investment from us. The investment consisted of $55,000 in cash and the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at $0.01 per share, or $10,000. We are a startup company that has only generated $4,000 in revenues.

 

Our business strategy is to market our website (www.techfoundryventures.com) whereby potential companies will be able to review our services and engage us. We will develop our presence on e-commerce sites as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other sites. We are also focusing on expanding our referral network by targeting other advisors such as lawyers, accountants, insurance agents, financial planners and other service professionals.

 

The number of companies, which we will be able to provide services to will depend upon the success of our marketing efforts through our website and our referral network.

 

Our business is advising and consulting with start-up and development stage companies and companies by providing administrative support to their management so that management can focus on the core products and services and not be consumed by administrative details that consume their time. We intend to advise companies on their capital formation, consulting with jurisdictional selection, corporate governance, administrative duties, such as bookkeeping, accounting, regulatory compliance and reporting, valuation and other administrative tasks that entrepreneurs may not be familiar. We envision ourselves as mentors to empower companies to achieve their business growth objectives by providing the management team with financial and management guidance and partnering with them to help them succeed in the financial markets.

 

To the extent that our clients desire to become a public company, we will assist them and work closely with senior legal, auditing and technical advisors that have vast knowledge in the “Going Public” process and are well versed with regulatory requirements. We and the advisors we intend to work with will assist management understand the value of their assets and build a proper structure around those assets to help create a fair value for the company. We believe that by providing guidance and support to our potential clients and assisting them in structuring their company and valuation will allow them to grow their business and enable them to achieve the next stages of accessing capital to expand. We intend to partner and work with professional and technical advisors that have knowledge and expertise in advising start-up and development stage companies. To the extent that our potential clients request our assistance in seeking capital or accessing the capital markets, we intend to introduce them to the appropriate advisors who have the requisite expertise in the various areas that may require such expertise.

 

Our founders have access to strategic relationships with financial firms, investment bankers, brokers, individual and institutional investors as well as accountants and attorneys in North America and worldwide. In addition to providing administrative support to our clients’ management teams, we can offer to advise our clients on strategic transactions and provide a global understanding of how the capital markets work. Our founders have invested their capital in the public markets and have experience with public companies. We believe that a properly structured company eases the ability to attract the initial capital from brokers, private investors, angels, and institutional investors thereby allowing management the necessary capital to develop the Company. We believe that a properly structured, funded, and administered company with capable management allows us to get “the story” out to our many public and private investors. This process allows us to work with the investment community helping them understand the client company while simultaneously gaining exposure to investment capital. We intend to charge our clients an hourly rate to advise them but will not engage in activities that would require us to be licensed broker dealers or investment advisors.

We also intend to invest in opportunities that we believe will enhance our shareholders’ value. In December 2015, we invested $65,000 in a joint venture to acquire Nevada Canyon Gold’s 50% in an agreement, which is discussed in our Plan of Operation.

 

We may conduct limited research and development of additional services to offer. We do not expect to purchase or sell plant or significant equipment. Further we do not expect significant changes in the number of employees. Our plan of operations is as follows:

 

Establish our Office and Joint Venture (JV) Exploration Expenditures

Time Frame: 1st- 3rd months.

Material costs: minimum $2,500.

JV Expenditures: minimum $60,000.

 

In the first quarter of 2016, we set up a virtual office in Reno, NV, that one of our directors provides to us without any expense on our part. Our sole officer and one of our directors, Jeffrey Cocks, will take care of our initial administrative duties. Mr. Cocks intends to visit the Reno office monthly. During the times Mr. Cocks not in Reno, NV, he will operate out of his residence in Canada.

 

Our Exploration Agreement with Walker River Resources (“WRR”) requires us to spend $500,000 in exploration expenses, over a two-year period, in a work program WRR established on the Lapon Canyon Claims, to earn up to an 50% undivided interest in the Lapon Canyon Claims During the first quarter of 2016, we estimate that we will spend approximately $60,000 in exploration expenses to fulfill our commitment under the Exploration Agreement.

 

Expand Our Website and Joint Venture (JV) Exploration Expenditures

Time Frame: 3rd-6th months.

Material costs: $3,000.

JV Expenditures: minimum $60,000.

 

In the second quarter of 2016, we plan set up a physical virtual office in Reno, NV, where we currently operate from a virtual office that one of our directors provides to us without any expense on our part. We then intend to acquire the necessary equipment to continue operations. We plan to purchase or lease office equipment such as PC, telephones, fax, office supplies and furniture. Our sole officer and one of our directors, Jeffrey Cocks, will take care of our initial administrative duties. We believe that it will cost at least $2,500 to set up office and obtain the necessary equipment and stationery to continue operations. Once our office is set up, we intend to begin expanding our website. Our sole officer and one of our directors, Jeffrey Cocks, will be in charge of overseeing the expansion of our website and the services we intend to offer. The website expansion costs, including enhanced site design and implementation will be approximately $3,000. Updating and improving our website will continue throughout the lifetime of our operations.

 

Our Exploration Agreement with Walker River Resources (“WRR”) requires us to spend $500,000 in exploration expenses, over a two-year period, in a work program WRR established on the Lapon Canyon Claims, to earn up to an 50% undivided interest in the Lapon Canyon Claims During the first quarter of 2016, we estimate that we will spend approximately $60,000 in exploration expenses to fulfill our commitment under the Exploration Agreement.

 

Negotiate agreements with potential referral sources and customers

Time Frame: 6th-12th months.

No material costs.

 

Now that our website is operational, we will continue to contact potential customers and referral sources. We will negotiate terms and conditions of collaboration. We are currently focused on local advisors such as attorneys, accountants, insurance agents and financial planners. We do not expect to compensate any referral sources and will offer reciprocal referrals to any source that is willing to refer us clients. Then we plan to expand our target market to other service providers and investment professionals such as brokers and investment bankers. This activity will be ongoing throughout our operations. Even though the negotiation with potential customers and referral sources will be ongoing during the life of our operations, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to find successful agreements, in which case our business may fail and we will have to cease our operations. We do not expect to enter into formal written agreements with our referral sources and intend for these agreements to be oral. We intend to enter into consulting agreements with our clients that will set forth the scope of services we agree to with these clients and provide for the hourly, contingent or flat rate billing arrangements.

 

In the future, when/if we have available resources, operating history and experience, we plan to contact larger referrals sources that have more established clients. However, we anticipate encountering many market barriers in becoming a service provider to clients of large established professionals. Our competitors have gained customer loyalty and brand identification through their long-standing advertising and customer service efforts. This creates a barrier to market entry by forcing us to spend time and money to differentiate our product in the marketplace and overcome these loyalties. The large established service providers may require capital investments in personnel. They also may have exclusive agreements with key franchises and others for the similar services. Considering our lack of operating history and experience in being a consulting firm to start-ups and development stage companies, we may never become a consultant to large established clients.

Ongoing Marketing Campaign and Joint Venture (JV) Exploration Expenditures

Time Frame: 6th - 12th months.

Material costs: $15,000-$25,000.

 

We intend to use marketing strategies, such as web advertisements, direct mailing, and phone calls to acquire potential customers. We also plan to attend trade shows in web, mobile and entertainment industry to showcase our services with a view to find new customers. We believe that we should begin to see results from our marketing campaign within 120 days from its initiation. We also will use Internet promotion tools on Facebook and Twitter to advertise our services. We intend to spend from $15,000-$25,000 on marketing efforts during the first year. Marketing is an ongoing matter that will continue during the life of our operations. Our campaign will consist of soliciting clients by offering to provide administrative support to management with an emphasis on relieving management from the details of administrative paperwork so they can focus on their creative efforts.

 

Even if we are able to obtain sufficient number of service agreements at the end of the twelve-month period, there is no guarantee that we will be able to attract and more importantly retain enough customers to justify our expenditures. If we are unable to generate a significant amount of revenue and to successfully protect ourselves against those risks, then it would materially affect our financial condition and our business could be harmed.

 

JV Expenditures: minimum $120,000.

 

Our Exploration Agreement with Walker River Resources (“WRR”) requires us to spend $500,000 in exploration expenses, over a two-year period, in a work program WRR established on the Lapon Canyon Claims, to earn up to an 50% undivided interest in the Lapon Canyon Claims During the first quarter of 2016, we estimate that we will spend approximately $120,000 in exploration expenses to fulfill our commitment under the Exploration Agreement.

 

Hire a Salesperson or Independent Contractors

Time Frame: 8th-12th months.

Material costs: $12,000-24,000.

 

We anticipate hiring one salesperson in 2016 with good knowledge and broad connections in the consulting industry to introduce our services. The salesperson’s job would be to find new potential clients, and to set up agreements with customers and referral sources to engage our services. The negotiation of additional agreements with potential customers will be ongoing during the life of our operations.

 

In summary, during 1st-6th month we should have established our Reno office and further expanded our website. After this point we should be ready to start more significant operations and start selling our services. During months 6-12 we will be developing our marketing campaign. There is no assurance that we will generate any revenue in the first 12 months after completion our offering or ever generate any revenue.

 

Jeffrey Cocks, our president will be devoting approximately ten hours per week to our operations. Once we expand operations, and are able to attract more and more customers to use our services, Mr. Cocks has orally agreed to commit more time as required. Because Mr. Cocks will only be devoting limited time to our operations, our operations may be sporadic and occur at times which are convenient to him. As a result, operations may be periodically interrupted or suspended which could result in a lack of revenues and a cessation of operations. Mr. Cocks has orally agreed to limit his responsibilities at West Isle Ventures, Ltd. to providing consulting services to Canadian companies in industries that we do not intend to pursue. West Isle Ventures, Ltd. has provided consulting services to companies in a variety of industries; however, Mr. Cocks will devote his efforts with us to consult with companies in the United States and with companies in our target industries.

Estimated Expenses for the Next Twelve Months

 

The following provides an overview of our estimated expenses to fund our plan of operation for the next twelve months. To date, we have raised $85,000 from our initial public offering, $8,000 from the sale of our common stock in a private placement, and $100,000 from the issuance of a nine-month Promissory Note:

 

Description  Expenses 
     
SEC reporting and compliance  $15,000 
Establishing and office   2,500 
Website expansion   3,000 
Marketing and advertising   25,000 
JV Expenditures   250,000 
Other expenses   54,000 
      
Total  $349,500 

 

We anticipate that the minimum capital necessary to fund our planned operations in this case for the 12-month period will be approximately $300,000 to $350,000 depending on the availability of funds and will be used for general administrative expenses, business development, marketing costs, continue to fund the exploration expenditures and fulfill our obligations under the Exploration Agreement with WRR and costs associated with being a publicly reporting company. As a result, we will need to seek additional funding in the near future, if necessary. The most likely source of this additional capital is through the sale of additional shares of common stock or advances from our sole officer and director, our other director or our shareholders. Mr. Cocks, our sole officer and director, Mr. Levine, our other director and BCIM Management, LP, have already advanced us $93,000 as of March 31, 2016. However, our existing shareholders have no firm commitment, arrangement or legal obligation to advance or loan funds to the Company.

 

If we are able to successfully complete the above goals within the estimated timeframes set forth and are able to raise proceeds additional proceeds that may be needed to secure additional personnel and marketing funds, those funds would be allocated as follows:

 

Our management may hire full or part- time employees or independent contractors over the next six (6) months depending on the amount of marketing they intend to devote to third parties; however, at the present, the services provided by our officer and directors appear sufficient at this time. We believe that our operations are currently on a small scale that is manageable by these two individuals and can be supplemented by engaging independent contractors. Our management’s responsibilities are mainly administrative at this early stage. While we believe that the addition of employees is not required over the next six (6) months, the professionals we plan to utilize may be independent contractors. We do not intend to enter into any employment agreements with any of these professionals. Thus, these persons are not intended to be employees of our company.

 

Our management does not expect to incur any material research costs in the next twelve months; we currently do not own any plants or equipment that we would seek to sell in the near future; we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements; and we have not paid for expenses on behalf of our officer or directors. Additionally, we believe that this fact shall not materially change.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

None.

 

Use of Estimates:

 

Areas where significant estimation judgments are made and where actual results could differ materially from these estimates are the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources and the classification of net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards.

 

We believe the following is among the most critical accounting policies that impact our financial statements:

 

We evaluate impairment of our long-lived assets by applying the provisions of SFAS No. 144. In applying those provisions, we have not recognized any impairment charge on our long-lived assets during the three-months ended March 31, 2016.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this item.

 

15 
   

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

 

(b) Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, there has been no change in internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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.

 

INHERENT LIMITATIONS OF INTERNAL CONTROLS

 

Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

  pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
     
  provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with the U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
     
  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.

 

Management does not expect that our internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Also, any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to the risk that those internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in business conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
