NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of July 31, 2010
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION
Organization
ASPIRE JAPAN, INC. (f/k/a Dream Media, Inc.) (“the Company”) was incorporated on February 2, 2005 in the State of Delaware. In September 2006, the Company became actively engaged in raising capital in order to implement its business plan to deliver products from American sources directly to the Japanese consumer in the form of mail-order business. In August 2008, after accumulating over $2 million, the Company decided to abandon the mail-order business. Then, the Company entered into the Intellectual Property Rights Trading Business. In August 2008, the Company was unsuccessful in a business transaction for the Intellectual Property Rights Trading. The Company still intends to generate revenue and profits with the Intellectual Property Rights Trading Business at this point. The Company has not had any significant operations or activities from inception; accordingly, the Company is deemed to be in the development stage.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal occurring accruals) considered necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading, have been included. Operating results for the six months ended July 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending Januar y 31, 2011. The condensed financial statements are presented on the accrual basis.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 605 – “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, and Credit Risk
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all cash accounts with maturities of 90 days or less and which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, as cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying balance sheet.
The Company maintains a portion of its deposits in a financial institution that insures its deposits with the FDIC insurance up to $250,000 per depositor and deposits in excess of such insured amounts represent a credit risk to the Company. At July 31, 2010 and January 31, 2010 the Company had $0 in cash that was uninsured. In addition, at July 31, 2010 and January 31, 2010, the Company had total cash of $103 and $138, respectively in a Japanese bank which is uninsured.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of property and equipment.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising costs charged to operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009 and the period February 2, 2005 (Inception) to July 31, 2010 amounted to $0, $0, $0, $0, and $156,562 respectively.
Reclassification of Prior Period Accounts
Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Going Concern
The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a net loss of $3,641,799 from inception, a working capital deficiency of $1,760,586 and a stockholders’ deficit of $1,914,607 as of July 31, 2010 and used cash in operations of $1,678,455 from inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management continues to actively seek additional sources of capital to fund current and future operations. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in continuing to raise additional capital and establish probable or proven reserves. These unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Stock Compensation
The Company follows FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718 – Compensation – Stock Compensation for share based payments to employees. The Company follows FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 505 for share based payments to Non-Employees.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments including prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, loans and notes payable, and loans payable-related party and they approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company is the United States Dollar. The financial statements of the Company are translated to United States dollars using year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transaction occurred. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange translations are included in the statements of operations and changes in stockholders’ equity as other comprehensive income (loss).
Earnings Per Share:
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period as required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) under FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 260 - Earnings Per Share. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings. As of July 31, 2010 and 2009 there were no common share equivalents outstanding.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services separately rather than as a combined unit and modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables. The ASU significantly expands the disclosure requirements for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The ASU will be effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented or prospectively to arrangements entered into or materially modified after the adoption date. Early adoption is permitted, provided t hat the guidance is retroactively applied to the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2009-13 to have any effect on its financial statements upon its required adoption on January 1, 2011.
NOTE 2 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
During the three and six months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009, and the period February 2, 2005 (Inception) to July 31, 2010 the Company recorded depreciation expense of $0, $0, $0, $0 and $2,429 respectively.

NOTE 5 - INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS SALES AGREEMENT
On August 13, 2008, we entered into an Intellectual Property Rights Sales Agreement (the “Eiwa Agreement”) with Eiwa Kokudo Kankyo, Inc. (“Eiwa”). Pursuant to the Eiwa Agreement, we agreed to pay approximately $5,454,545 (equal to 600 Million YEN) to Eiwa for the Intellectual Property of the Aqua-make system. In addition, we are entitled to sell the rights of this Intellectual Property to the third party upon signing the agreement. Pursuant to the agreement the Company entered into an agreement with EIWA to pay the purchase price in the following manner:
1. | August 29, 2008, 50 Million Japanese Yen (Approximately $454,545) |
| |
2. | September 12, 2008, 50 Million Japanese Yen (Approximately $454,545) |
3. | September 30, 2008, 200 Million Japanese Yen (Approximately $1,818,182) |
| |
4. | January 31, 2009, 300 Million Japanese Yen (Approximately $2,727,273) |
On November 27, 2008, we notified Eiwa that we were unilaterally canceling the agreement. We have not made any payments and we are in default under the payment terms of the agreement. If Eiwa does not agree to cancel the agreement, we might be required to make the payments as per the agreement. To date, we are not aware of Eiwa pursuing any remedies associated with the cancellation. It is very possible that we will incur a material liability as a result of this cancelled agreement if Eiwa pursues legal remedies.
The reason no liability has been recorded for the cancelled purchase agreement with Eiwa is because we have not recorded any amounts due under the intangible purchase agreement as no property has been received – we do not receive the IP until all payments have been made. Since no payments have been made and no property has been received, this is disclosed as a commitment only.
Thereafter, on August 15, 2008, we entered into an Intellectual Property Rights Sales Agreement with Global Investment Service, Inc. (“GIS”) to sell the Intellectual Property of the Aqua-make system to GIS for $14,545,455 (equal to 1.6 Billion YEN). Pursuant to the GIS Agreement, we have the right of first refusal to buy Intellectual Property back from GIS in the event that GIS agrees to sell the intellectual property within three years from August 15, 2008 by issuing 3.2 million shares of our common stock. We also need to agree to purchase the Intellectual Property to exercise the buy back option. As part of such conditions, we have agreed not to split our stock for the next three years. Pursuant to the agreement, GIS entered into a note with us to pay the purchase price in the following manner:
1. | August 29, 2008, 200 Million Japanese Yen (Approximately $1,818,182) |
| |
2. | September 30, 2008, 400 Million Japanese Yen (Approximately $3,636,354) |
3. | January 31, 2009, 1 Billion Japanese Yen (Approximately $9,090,909) |
Pursuant to the agreement, we are required to pay a fixed royalty amount of 13,340,000 Japanese Yen (Approximately $121,273) monthly to GIS for the license to operate the business and to use our best efforts to market the product in the United States. As of July 31, 2010, we have not made any royalty payments.
As of October 31, 2008, we received payments of approximately $84,949 and Global Investment Services, Inc. is in default under the payment terms of the agreement. On November 30, 2008, we received notice of termination of the agreement from Global Investment Services, Inc. As of July 31, 2010, we have recorded a gain in liquidated damages of $84,949.

As of July 31, 2010, we had cash of $366.
We do not believe we can satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months from revenue and through funds raised in our private placements. We plan to raise additional capital to be used for operating capital. We intend to raise these funds through additional private placements. We have not identified any sources of capital, lines of credit or loans at this time. Completion of our plan of operation is subject to attaining adequate revenue and through funds raised from private placements. We cannot assure investors that adequate revenues will be generated. In the event we are not successful in reaching our initial revenue targets, Management believes that it will raise the funds required and we would then be able to proceed with our business plan for the development and marketing of our products and services a long with the commencement of our business activities in 2010.
In the absence of our projected revenues and the absence of additional capital we may be unable to proceed with our plan of operations. We anticipate that depending on market conditions and our plan of operations, we would incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. We base this expectation, in part, on the fact that we may not be able to generate enough gross profit from our operations to cover our operating expenses. Consequently, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue to operate as a going concern.
As reflected in the accompanying unaudited financial statements, we are in the development stage, have a net loss of $3,641,779 from inception, working capital deficiency of $1,760,586, a stockholders’ deficit of $1,914,607 and have a negative cash flow from operations of $1,678,455 from inception. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital and implement our business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
We have completed our efforts to become a public company and by doing so we have incurred and will continue to incur additional significant expenses for legal, accounting and related services. As a public entity, subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, there will be ongoing expenses associated with the ongoing professional fees for accounting, legal and a host of other expenses for annual reports and proxy statements as well as costs for (i) increased marketing and advertising to support any growth in sales for us; (ii) potential to hire additional personnel to manage and expand our operations.
Results of Operations
We did not have any operating income from inception through January 31, 2010. For the three and six months ended July 31, 2010, we recognized a net loss of $80,774 and $156,300 respectively and for the period from inception through July 31, 2010, we recognized a net loss of $3,641,779. Expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2010 were comprised of costs of professional fees of $11,508, compensation expense of $22,500, severance expense of $20,999 and general and administrative expenses of $7,336. Expenses for the six months ended July 31, 2010 were comprised of costs of professional fees of $23,029, compensation expense of $45,000, severance expense of $41,314 and general and administrative expenses of $10,793.
For the three months ended July 31, 2009, we recognized a net loss of $67,500. Expenses for the period were comprised of costs of professional fees of $23,595, compensation of $22,500, and general and administrative expenses of $3,113. For the six months ended July 31, 2009, we recognized a net loss of $103,354. Expenses for the period were comprised of costs of professional fees of $23,721, compensation of $45,000, and general and administrative expenses of $4,108.
Commitments
On August 13, 2008, we entered into an Intellectual Property Rights Sales Agreement (the “Eiwa Agreement”) with Eiwa Kokudo Kankyo, Inc. (“Eiwa”). Pursuant to the Eiwa Agreement, we agreed to pay approximately $5,454,545 (equal to 600 Million YEN) to Eiwa for the Intellectual Property of the Aqua-make system. In addition, we are entitled to sell the rights of this Intellectual Property to the third party upon signing the agreement. Pursuant to the agreement the Company entered into an agreement with EIWA to pay the purchase price in the following manner:
1. | August 29, 2008, 50 Million Japanese Yen (Approximately $454,545) |
| |
2. | September 12, 2008, 50 Million Japanese Yen (Approximately $454,545) |
| |
3. | September 30, 2008, 200 Million Japanese Yen (Approximately $1,818,182) |
| |
4. | January 31, 2009, 300 Million Japanese Yen (Approximately $2,727,273) |
On November 27, 2008, we notified Eiwa that we were unilaterally canceling the agreement. We have not made any payments and we are in default under the payment terms of the agreement. If Eiwa does not agree to cancel the agreement, we might be required to make the payments as per the agreement. To date, we have not been made aware of whether Eiwa is pursuing any remedies associated with the cancellation. It is very possible that we will incur a material liability as a result of this cancelled agreement if Eiwa pursues any legal remedies.
The reason no liability has been recorded for the cancelled purchase agreement with Eiwa is because we have not recorded any amounts due under the intangible purchase agreement as no property has been received – we do not receive the IP until all payments have been made. Since no payments have been made and no property has been received, this is disclosed as a commitment only.
Thereafter, on August 15, 2008, we entered into an Intellectual Property Rights Sales Agreement with Global Investment Service, Inc. (“GIS”) to sell the Intellectual Property of the Aqua-make system to GIS for $14,545,455 (equal to 1.6 Billion YEN). Pursuant to the GIS Agreement, we have the right of first refusal to buy Intellectual Property back from GIS in the event that GIS agrees to sell the intellectual property within three years from August 15, 2008 by issuing 3.2 million shares of our common stock. We also need to agree to purchase the Intellectual Property to exercise the buyback option. As part of such conditions, we have agreed not to split our stock for the next three years. Pursuant to the agreement, GIS entered into a note with us to pay the purchase p rice in the following manner:
1. | August 29, 2008, 200 Million Japanese Yen (Approximately $1,818,182) |
| |
2. | September 30, 2008, 400 Million Japanese Yen (Approximately $3,636,354) |
| |
3. | January 31, 2009, 1 Billion Japanese Yen (Approximately $9,090,909) |
Pursuant to the agreement, we are required to pay a fixed royalty amount of 13,340,000 Japanese Yen (Approximately $121,273) monthly to GIS for the license to operate the business and to use our best efforts to market the product in the United States. As of July 31, 2010, we have not made any royalty payments.
As of October 31, 2008, we have received payments of approximately $84,949 and Global Investment Services, Inc. is in default under the payment terms of the agreement. On November 30, 2008, we received notice of termination of the agreement from Global Investment Services, Inc. As of July 31, 2010 we have recorded a gain in liquidated damages of $84,949.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s 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, revenue 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 significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact its financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services separately rather than as a combined unit and modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables. The ASU significantly expands the disclosure requirements for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The ASU will be effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented or prospectively to arrangements entered into or materially modified after the adoption date. Early adoption is permitted, provided t hat the guidance is retroactively applied to the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2009-13 to have any effect on its financial statements upon its required adoption on January 1, 2011.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities” (SPEs).

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls. Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
