Overview
Through Charging, we offer electric vehicle (“EV”) charging services and charging stations, enabling EV drivers to recharge their vehicles easily at commercial locations or in their own garages. Our headquarters are in Chicago, Illinois. We are initially offering these products and services in the metropolitan Chicago area and plan to expand nationally, starting in the Midwest, as we identify business opportunities and as our financing permits. We perceive, but cannot assure, that there will be an increasing demand for our products and services. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we did not sell, install or service any electric vehicle charging stations. During the 3-month period ended March 31, 2015, we entered into agreement under which we will receive fees for referrals to a vendor of charging stations. We have sold a charging station pursuant to that agreement for which we will receive a referral fee and have entered into a contract for the sale of that charging station under which we expect to receive an installation fee during the quarter ending September 30, 2015. We anticipate entering into an agreement with a manufacturer from
6
which we are purchasing charging stations for a line of credit under which we may purchase its products for resale. While we will be able to continue generating revenue from referrals and acquire charging stations for resale within the limits imposed by the line of credit and conduct a number of the activities set forth in our plan of operations, we do not have the capital required to complete the portions of that plan that, among others, contemplate the purchase of certain equipment and service parts, increased staffing and office space, and advertising. Our ability to develop those aspects depends on our obtaining substantial capital and we can give no assurance that we will be able to do so.
For several years prior to the Merger, the Company had no operations, material assets or revenue and was a shell company. Upon the filing of articles of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Illinois on October 27, 2014, pursuant to the Merger Agreement (see “Our History – The Merger,” below), the Company acquired Charging as its wholly owned subsidiary, ceased being a shell company and became a development stage company engaged in the business described below. Although we have organized, have an office and have begun to develop our business as described in the previous paragraph, we are in the early stages of our development. An investment in the Company is highly speculative and we cannot assure that our business will continue to develop.
Our long-term goals are to continue the development of our business conducted and to become a significant factor in the electric vehicle charging market.
Our History
Prior to the Merger
The Company was incorporated in the State of Colorado in 1983, under the name Bugs, Inc., for the purpose of using microbial and other agents, including metallurgy, to enhance oil and natural gas production and to facilitate the recovery of certain metals. On August 17, 1999, it was redomiciled to the State of Nevada through a merger as Genesis Capital Corporation of Nevada, which was authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, issuable in series.
On September 5, 2014, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada a certificate of designation designating 2,530,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series C Preferred Stock”), which certificate of designation was withdrawn on October 13, 2013.
On September 5, 2014, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada a certificate of withdrawing the certificate of designation of the Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), which had been surrendered in satisfaction of a condition precedent to the merger described below.
On October 13, 2014, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada a certificate of designation designating 2,530,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series D Preferred Stock”).
On October 21, 2014, the Company changed its corporate name from “Milwaukee Iron Arena Football, Inc.” to “EV Charging USA, Inc.” by merging a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company that had the latter name into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation and in connection with the merger, amending the articles of incorporation to effect the change of name without a vote of the Company’s shareholders, as permitted by Nevada law. This subsidiary had no assets or operations.
The Merger
On August 20, 2014, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with MWKI Acquisition, Inc., an Illinois corporation and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (“Acquisition”), and EV Charging USA, Corp., an Illinois corporation (“Charging”). This agreement was amended on August 28, 2014, October 2, 2014, and October 23, 2014, and, as so amended, is referred to as the “Merger Agreement.” Under the Merger Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire Charging as its wholly owned subsidiary by merging Acquisition
7
with and into Charging, such that the Company would acquire all of the outstanding shares of Charging and the sole holder of the shares of Charging immediately prior to the Merger would receive 2,180,000 shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock was convertible into 2,000 shares of Common Stock or a total of 700,000,000 shares of Common Stock. However, the Company had only 498,000,000 shares of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock available for such conversion. Accordingly, the certificate of designation for the Series D Preferred Stock permitted the conversion of only 249,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock until the Company authorized the additional 202,000,000 shares of Common Stock required for the full conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock. The Company authorized these additional shares by filing an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation providing for an additional 1,000,000,000 shares of authorized Common Stock on February 23, 2015, and, upon such filing, all of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock were automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock.
The merger that occurred pursuant to the Merger Agreement is referred to as the “Merger.”
On October 27, 2014, the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement were closed and on the same day, the Merger was consummated by the filing of a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Illinois, upon which the Company acquired Charging as its wholly owned subsidiary. Since we had no operations prior to the consummation of the Merger, our business will be that of Charging only. A description of our business appears below under the caption “Description of Business.” Our long-term goals are to continue the development of the business conducted by Charging and to become a significant factor in the electric vehicle charging market.
Prior to the consummation of the Merger, the Company had 155,892 shares of Common Stock, 5,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and 5,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. All of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock were held beneficially by Richard S. Astrom, the Company’s president and sole director until the consummation of the Merger. In satisfaction of a condition precedent to the Merger, Mr. Astrom surrendered to the Company his shares of Series A Preferred Stock prior to the closing of the Merger and his shares of Series B Preferred Stock upon the closing of the Merger, extinguished the Company’s indebtedness to him and agreed to indemnify the Company from and hold it harmless against certain other liabilities, all in exchange for (i) its issuance to him of a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $400,000.00, secured by a pledge agreement and (ii) its prepayment to him of $25,000.00 of the principal amount of the promissory note. For further information about these transactions, see “Directors and Executive Officers – Related Party Transactions – Exchange Transaction” on page 35. After the shares of Series A Preferred Stock were surrendered, they were canceled and the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada a certificate withdrawing the certificate of designation establishing the Series A Preferred Stock, as indicated above. At the closing under the Merger Agreement, all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock were surrendered and were canceled. On November 17, 2014, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada a certificate withdrawing the certificate of designation of this series.
In satisfaction of a condition precedent to the Merger, the Company completed a private placement in which it received $25,000 and issued 350,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock (the “Private Placement”).
After the Merger and Private Placement, the Company had outstanding 155,892 shares of Common Stock and 2,530,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, which were convertible into 5,060,000,000 shares of Common Stock. By reason of the full conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock on February 23, 2015, the Company now has 5,060,155,892 shares of Common Stock outstanding.
As a result of the Merger, we are in the business of providing electric vehicle (“EV”) charging services and charging stations, enabling EV drivers to recharge their vehicles easily at commercial locations or in their own garages.
Following the Merger, the Company, the fiscal year of which ended September 30, adopted the fiscal year of Charging, which ends June 30.

Current Business
We will provide electric vehicle (“EV”) charging services and charging stations, enabling EV drivers to recharge their vehicles easily at commercial locations or in their own garages. Our headquarters are in Chicago, Illinois. We will initially provide our products and services in the metropolitan Chicago area and plan to expand nationally, starting in the Midwest, as business opportunities are found and as our financing permits. We perceive, but cannot assure, that there will be an increasing demand for our products and services.
We plan to develop our business by acquiring charging stations from and by entering into contracts for, their installation and operation at public locations, such as gas stations, shopping malls and publicly owned or privately operated parking lots and structures, and at private locations, such as residences and other non-public areas where EVs are parked. We plan to begin hiring sales and project management personnel in the near future.
We will offer various options for charging stations and services. For public locations, we plan to offer (i) a comprehensive turnkey program where we will own and operate the charging station, manage installation, maintenance, network connectivity and related services, (ii) a program whereunder we and the owners and lessees of property share in the cost of the system, installation expenses of installing, operating and managing charging stations at agreed locations and network connectivity. In both cases, we will share a portion of the EV charging revenue with the property owner, but our share thereof will be higher in the first case. For residences and properties interested in purchasing and owning charging stations, we will provide the systems, make site and/or installation recommendations, make connections to a network, and provide management and maintenance services for a fixed monthly subscription fee based upon a fixed number of charges or on a per charge basis.
The principal components of a charging station are a charger, which draws and processes electricity so that it is usable to charge an EV’s battery, a networking unit, which authorizes payment for charges and transmits other information, a charging cable, which connects the charger to the EV’s electrical system, and a post or other means of attaching the assembled charger, networking unit and cable to the ground or a building.
There are currently three types of charging stations:
· | Level 1 – Level 1 charging stations, which operate on either 110/120 or 220/240 volts, vary substantially in charging capacity, but typically require from about 12 to 24 hours for a full recharge. A system of this kind is typically installed in a residence or other location where the time for recharging is not an important factor. The cost of a recharge depends principally on the cost of electricity where the charging station is installed. For example, at the rate of $0.12 per kilowatt-hour, a Nissan LEAF®, which has a driving range of about 100 miles, would cost about $2.88 for a full recharge, or less than $0.03 cents per mile. The cost of a Level 1 charging station and its and installation will range between approximately $200 and $500. These systems may be connected to a network if their owners desire, such as in the event that such owners permit others to use them for a fee and these owners permit payment by credit card. |
- Level 2 –Level 2 charging stations, which operate on 220/240 volts, deliver a driving range of up to 24 miles per hour of charging (depending on amperage). A Level 2 charging station requires from about 2 to 8 hours to recharge a fully discharged battery, depending on battery size and the charging capacity of the charging station. A system of this kind is typically installed in a location where an EV owner is willing to wait for a recharge, such as a shopping center or a movie theater. The cost of a recharge is fixed by the owner of the charging station and will typically be between approximately $1.00 and $ 2.00 per hour. The cost of a charging station and its installation will range between approximately $5,000 and $8,000. These systems will almost always be connected to a network.
- Level 3 – Level 3 charging stations, which operate on 480 volts, deliver a driving range of up to 150 miles per hour of charging. A Level 3 charging station requires from approximately 30 to 60 minutes to recharge a fully discharged battery, depending on the vehicle battery size and the charging capacity of the charging station. A system of this kind is typically installed in a location where low charging time is a significant factor, such as along superhighways. The cost of a recharge is fixed by the owner of the charging station and will typically be between approximately $15 and $25. The cost of a charging station and its installation will range between approximately $35,000 and $60,000. These systems will almost always be connected to a network.
9
The range of costs for a charging station and its installation in the above descriptions is caused primarily by installation costs, which will vary substantially because of the distance of the charger from a power source, conditions at the installation site, the costs of materials required for installation and, in the case of Level 3 chargers, the need to establish a 480-volt power source if none is present.
The charging stations that we will offer will be compatible with EVs sold in the United States, including the Tesla Model S®, Nissan LEAF®, ChevyVolt®, BMW i3® and i8®, Mitsubishi i-Miev®, Toyota Prius Plug-In®, Honda Fit EV®, and Toyota Rav4 EV®, as well as many others scheduled for release over the next few years.
EV charging fees for owners of charging stations are based either on an hourly rate or a per kilowatt-hour rate, and are calculated based on a variety of factors, including local electricity tariffs, strength of location, competitive conditions and services and the prices of gasoline and other vehicle fuels.
Charging stations will be connected to a network by cable or wirelessly. Connection to a network enables billing for public and private charging and may provide information to the owner of the charging station and the network operator that may be used, for example, to reward an EV owner who shops at a store with credit towards charging fees based on his level of spending or other factors. There are several established independent networks, such as Blink Network, Chargepoint and NRG eVgo, and some EV manufacturers, such as Telsa and Nissan, operate their own networks or offer cards or tokens with the purchase of an EV that enable its owner to charge it at charging stations that use independent networks. The independent networks provide interfaces for smartphones and tablets that enable an EV owner to locate charging stations, determine whether a charger is available and make reservations, determine the type of charger offered, show the charging status for their EV and authorize payment of charging fees. Independent networks have developed by creating relationships across multiple business sectors including multi-family residential and operators of various properties, parking garages, such as shopping malls, retail parking, drug stores, restaurants, educational institutions, hotels, theaters, turnpike commissions and municipalities. We expect to pay network providers $250 per charging station per year initially, but believe that we will be able to obtain better pricing as the volume of our business increases.
We plan to concentrate on sales of Level 2 and Level 3 charging stations.
Our revenues will be derived primarily derived from sales of charging stations, installation fees, public EV charging services, government grants, state and federal rebates, and marketing incentives.
Competition
We face competition from various companies engaged in similar businesses. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, better brand recognition and greater financial resources than we do. In order for us to successfully compete in our industry we will need to:
· develop awareness of our company and its services;
· | develop relationships with potential purchasers and users of our charging stations and owners of EVs; and |
· increase our financial resources.
However, there can be no assurance that even if we do these things we will be able to compete effectively with the other companies in our industry.
While we hope to compete effectively, we are a newly established company and face the same problems as other start-up companies, such as lack of available funds. Many of our competitors may be substantially larger and better funded than we, and have significantly longer operating histories than we. In addition, they may develop technologies or
10
products superior to ours and generally be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes. We may also be affected by changes in legislation and regulations relating our industry and in particular by changes in tax and other incentives that have furthered sales of EVs. Additionally, our competitors may devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products and services than we and or do.
Intellectual Property
We do not directly own any of the intellectual property rights attached to any of the products we distribute. We plan to develop and register trademarks to identify our company.
Research and Development
We do not conduct any research and development activities.
Reports to Security Holders
We are subject to the reporting, proxy and other requirements of the Exchange Act and we intend to file and make available to our shareholders with annual reports containing financial statements audited by our independent auditors and quarterly reports containing unaudited financial statements for each of the first three quarters of each year, as well as proxy or information statements.
The public may read and copy any materials that we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an internet site on which reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC are made available. The address of that site is www.sec.gov .
Laws and Regulations
We may be affected by laws and regulations regarding tax and other incentives that are intended to promote sales of EVs and other vehicles that use alternative fuels.
While our intended business activities do not currently violate any laws, any regulatory changes that impose additional restrictions or requirements on us or on our potential customers could adversely affect us by increasing our operating costs or decreasing demand for our products or services, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We are subject to normal permitting regulations in connection with the installation of our charging stations and we expect to receive permits as a routine matter.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Preparation of the statements in accordance with these principles requires that we make estimates, using available data and our judgment, for such things as valuing assets, accruing liabilities and estimating expenses. The following is a discussion of the most critical estimates that we must make when preparing our financial statements.
Revenue Recognition. The Company applies paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, (iii) collectability is reasonably assured and (iv) goods have been shipped and/or services rendered.
Income Taxes and Deferred Income Taxes. We use the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences in the bases of assets and liabilities as reported for financial statement purposes and income tax purposes and for the future use of net operating losses. We have recorded a valuation allowance against our net deferred income tax asset. The valuation allowance reduces deferred income tax assets to an amount that represents management’s best estimate of the amount of such deferred income tax assets that more likely than not will be realized.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We evaluate all accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board during each reporting period to assess their impact on and applicability to our accounting practices and our financial reporting and disclosures.
We have reviewed all accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board since we last issued financial statements and have determined that none of them have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and stockholders
EV Charging USA Corp.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of EV Charging USA Corp. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2015 and 2014 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2015 and for the period August 27, 2013 (Inception) to June 30, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has generated only minimal revenues since inception, has incurred losses since inception, and its current cash balances will not meet its working capital needs. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of EV Charging USA Corp. as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2015 and for the period August 27, 2013 (Inception) to June 30, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

EV CHARGING USA, CORP.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2015
Note 1 - Business description
Business
EV Charging USA, Inc. (“the Company”) is in the development stage. The Company’s purpose is to become a leading installer of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations in the state of Illinois.
On October 27, 2014, the Company completed an Agreement and Plan of Merger that it had entered into with EV USA Charging, Inc. ("EVUS") under its former corporate name "Milwaukee Iron Arena Football, Inc." In connection with the merger, the sole shareholder of the Company received 2,180,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock of EVUS in exchange for his shares of the Company. The merger will be accounted for as a recapitalization of EVUS, whereby the Company will be the accounting acquirer and surviving reporting company. In connection with the merger, EVUS completed a private placement of 350,000 shares of its Series D Convertible Preferred Stock for proceeds of $25,000. Also in connection with the merger, the former president and sole director of EVUS exchanged 5,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 5,000,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of EVUS owned by him and $40,928 of indebtedness owed to him for a convertible promissory note in the amount of $400,000 and the proceeds of the private placement referred to above.
Note 2 – Significant accounting policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
The Company considers all short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Start-Up Costs
In accordance with ASC 720, “Start-up Costs”, the Company expenses all costs incurred in connection with the start-up and organization of the Company.
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows the guidance of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition.” It records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred, the selling price to the customer is fixed or determinable and collectability of the revenue is reasonably assured
Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
18
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The fair value of cash, accrued expenses and loans payable approximates their carrying amounts because of their immediate or short term maturity.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
ASC Topic 740.10.30 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740.10.40 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. We have no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of our financial statements. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Note 3 – Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has generated only minimal revenues since inception, has incurred losses since inception, and its current cash balances will not meet its working capital needs. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon, among other things, the continued financial support from its shareholders or the attainment of profitable operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to generate revenues in the future. These financial statements do not give any effect to any adjustments that would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
19
Note4 – Note payable - related party
In connection with the merger referred to in note 1, the company issued a promissory note in the amount of $400,000, of which $25,000 has been repaid. It originally bore interest at the rate of 0.38 percent per annum and was due on October 27, 2015, but on January 15, 2015, the note holder and the Company entered into an agreement extending the date on which the promissory note is due to March 31, 2016, and increased its rate to 0.41 percent per annum. The promissory note is subject to acceleration in the event of certain events of default, contains certain restrictive covenants and is secured by a pledge of all of the shares in the Company. If an event of default, as defined in the note, the unpaid principal amount of the promissory note and the interest accrued thereon will be convertible in whole or in part from time to time into an indeterminate number of shares of Common Stock at a conversion price per share equal to 50% of the average of the daily closing prices for a share of Common Stock for the three (3) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the day on which the promissory note is delivered for conversion.
Note 5 – Related Party
The Company has a loan agreement with its shareholder whereby the shareholder will loan the company funds, as required, to operate its business. The term of the loan is indefinite and can be repaid at any time in part or in full. The loan bears interest at 3.25% per annum. During the year ended June 30, 2015 the shareholder has loaned an aggregate of $15,000 to the Company. Interest expense accrued on the loan was $358 during the year ended June 30, 2015.
At June 30, 2014, a former officer of the Company had loaned an aggregate amount of $5,500. In July 2014 the officer loaned an additional $2,000. In August 2014 the principal balance of $7,500 plus interest of $52 was repaid.
NOTE 6 – Credit card payable
The Company utilizes a credit card for working capital purposes. The card has a credit limit of $15,000, $12,929 outstanding at June 30, 2015 and bears interest at 17.99%.
Note 7 – Stockholders’ Equity
In connection with merger referred to in note 1 2,180,000 shares of Series D preferred were issued to the shareholder of the company in the reverse merger.
Also in connection with the merger, the Company completed a private placement of 350,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock for proceeds of $25,000.
On February 23, 2015, the Company’s authorized Common Stock was increased from 500,000,000 to 6,000,000,000 shares and all of the 2,530,000 shares of Series D were converted into 5,060,000,000 shares of Common Stock.
Note 8 – Income Taxes
The reconciliation of income tax benefit at the U.S. statutory rate of 34% for the periods ended June 30 2015 and 2014 to the Company’s effective tax rate is as follows:
2015 | 2014 | |||||||
Income tax (benefit) at statutory rate | $ | (12,000 | ) | $ | (4,250) | |||
Change in valuation all | $ | 12,000 | $ | 4,250 | ||||
Income tax expense per books | $ | — | — |
20
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to the Company’s net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2015 and 2014 are as follows:
2015 2014
Net Operating Loss | $ | 16,250 | $ | 4,250 | ||||
Valuation allowance | (16,250 | ) | (4,250 | ) | ||||
Net deferred tax asset | $ | — | $ | — |
The Company has approximately $43,000 of net operating losses (“NOL”) carried forward to offset taxable income in future years which expire commencing in fiscal 2034. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the assessment, management has established a full valuation allowance against all of the deferred tax asset relating to NOLs for every period because it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized
Note 9 – Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated events occurring after the date of these financial statements through the date that these financial statements were available to be issued. The Company has determined that there are no material subsequent events or transactions which would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
ITEM 9 CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None.
ITEM 9A CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Internal Controls
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that there was a material weakness in our disclosure controls and procedures and were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report because the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act was not being (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. We are a growing company and we currently lack documented procedures included documentation related to testing of processes, data validation procedures from the systems into the general ledger, testing of systems, validation of results, disclosure review, and other analytics. Furthermore, we lacked sufficient personnel to properly segregate duties. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Because of the material weaknesses noted above, we have concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2015, based on Internal Control over Financial Reporting – Guidance for Smaller Public Companies issued by COSO.
Remediation Plan
Management has been actively engaged in developing a remediation plan to address the above mentioned material weakness. Implementation of the remediation plan is in process and consists of establishing a formal review process As of June 30, 2015, management has not yet completed these remediation efforts. Management believes the foregoing efforts will effectively remediate the material weakness. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, management may execute additional measures to address potential control deficiencies or modify the remediation plan described above. Management will continue to review and make necessary changes to the overall design of our internal control.
21
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
