KollagenX Corp.
PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
KollagenX Corp. (formerly known as Integrated Electric Systems Corp. and previously Raider Ventures, Inc.) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 5, 2007 as Northern Minerals, Inc. Our original business was to engage in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties. On July 17, 2014 our board of directors approved, both, a letter of intent and the preparation of an agreement and plan to acquire 100% of the outstanding common shares of KollagenX, Inc. a California corporation, and to effect a name change from Integrated Electric Systems Corp. to KollagenX Corp., for the sole purpose of expanding the KollagenX, Inc. business plan for the distribution of personal beauty products.
Articles of Merger to effect the merger between the newly created KollagenX Corp. and Integrated, and to change the name, from Integrated to KollagenX, were filed with and became effective with the Nevada Secretary of State on July 23, 2014. The name change was reviewed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and approved for filing with an effective date of July 30, 2014 and became effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening of trading on July 30, 2014 under the symbol "KGNX". Our new CUSIP number is 50043U107.
A Share Exchange Agreement, between the newly created KollagenX Corp., KollagenX, Inc. and the shareholders of KollagenX, Inc. became effective August 4, 2014. Pursuant to that Share Exchange Agreement, all of the outstanding shares of KollagenX, Inc., (1,000) were traded for 10,000,000 common shares of KollagenX Corp. Simultaneously, the two shareholders of KollagenX, Inc., Rondell Fletcher and George Huerta, were elected as Directors and appointed to the Positions of President and CEO respectively, of KollagenX Corp.
KollagenX, Inc., a California corporation, was incorporated on May 15, 2009 as QWR, Inc. and changed its name to KollagenX Inc. on October 8, 2013.
The acquisition of KollagenX, INC. has been recorded as a reverse merger. As such, the historical statements of KollagenX, CORP. have replaced those of KollagenX, INC., except for the outstanding stock of the Company. A pro forma balance sheet is presented as of the date of the merger. Additionally, a statement of Shareholders' Deficit is included to illustrate the pro forma recapitalization resultant of the Share Exchange Agreement. A pro forma statement of operations is presented as if the merger had occurred on the date of inception (March 5, 2007).
KollagenX CORP.'s and KollagenX, INC.'s respective year ends are were March 31 and February 28, respectively. KollagenX, CORP. has changed its fiscal year end, via Amendments to the Articles of Incorporation in the State of Nevada, to February 28. Management believes this date, the current fiscal year end date of the Operating Company (KollagenX, INC.), would be better suited for the company and shareholders alike."
KollagenX provides personal beauty care products specializing in skin care, selling its products nationally and internationally.
KollagenX headquarters and operations are located at 4850 Eucalyptus Avenue, Suite B, Chino, California 91710; (800) 641-8004.
General
KollagenX's unique skin care products are formulated to make you feel great by enhancing and beautifying your skin. KollagenX provides the nourishment your skin needs to be healthier while restoring its natural youthful glow and providing a smoother, suppler appearance. Our products contain 24KT Gold and collagen with active ingredients that penetrate the pore and help reduce fine lines, wrinkles and sunspots.
Distribution has been accomplished through attendance at trade shows, where we have been able to attract distributors to acquire and sell our products; by direct sales utilizing in-house commission agents and through the Company's web site. The Company will provide custom packaging to large retailers to enable them to display and sell the product based on each retailers' specific requirements.
Although there are many competitors in lady's cosmetics, the Company believes that its focus on retail sales, product integrity and quality, and maintenance of low overhead, will enable it to remain viable and grow.
Currently there are six products in the collection servicing all demographics in the entire market place. The six products are the KollagenX brand consisting of the 24KT Gold Face Mask, the 24KT Under-Eye Mask, the 24KT Gold Eye Serum, the 24KT Gold Hydrating Cream, the 24KT Gold Cleanser and our latest product which is our 24 KT Gold Lip Gloss.
The Company has developed additional products to be sold to, both, the professional salons for use with their customers and an organic line to be sold to the retail customer.
Our New Products
KollagenX has designed packaging for a new 500 ml professional line, which consists of the entire collection plus a 24KT Gold Toner mainly for commercial applications and servicTes. This new packaging will enable professional salons to utilize our products in their service applications.
The professional line is going to be introduced to salons and spas in bulk starter packages that will consist of over 100 treatments and will have a base introductory price. This plan will be utilized to provide our commercial clients the opportunity to increase their service sales and to offer retail and sample sizes to their customers.
The Company has entered into an agreement with a USDA Certified Laboratory to produce our line of organic products. Although this line of products will mimic our original products, each inventory sku will contain its own specialized organic formulation and will be packaged in its own individual unique packaging. This line will be marketed to the retail user and sold, primarily, to retail outlets, with an emphasis on those that specialize in the promotion of organic products.
Collagen and Skin Care
KollagenX unique products are formulated using 24KT gold and plant-derived collagen as their main ingredients.
In muscle tissue, collagen serves as a major component of the endomysium. Collagen is a natural type of protein in the body that forms the connective tissues that hold skin, bone, tendons, muscle and cartilage together. Collagen is important I the way our skin looks and feels because it is the main structural component providing firmness and shape.
Our production of collagen starts to reduce the middle age. Our body produces less of it, and what remains becomes weaker and degraded. In addition to aging, exposure to the sun and other environmental assaults damage the collagen in skin, weakening the support structure and causing skin to sag.
24 KT Gold and Skin Care
In addition to antioxidant and antimicrobial powers, gold is praised for its purported ability to ward off UV damage, tighten lax skin and reduce the appearance of discoloration. It can slow the breakdown of elastin, keeping skin firm and taut; Gold increases circulation, eliminating toxins from the body while speeding up tissue repair Gold is known to be one of the softest metals, which is readily absorbed by the skin. Gold facial is primarily preferred for reducing file lines on the face and to prevent ageing. Given below are some of the benefits of Gold facial.
Gold is known to penetrate the skin and has revitalizing and rejuvenating effects, facilitates removal of toxins and wastes, assists lymphatic drainage, improves blood circulation, enhances skin elasticity, accelerates cell renewal, reverses oxidation damage.
The Market
The beauty industry continues to expand globally, with some projections claiming 8.5% growth through 2015. We estimate that the world skin care industry generated more than $78 billion annually and a volume of over 11 billion units. The market is expected to grow and to generate almost $95 billion and should reach a volume in excess of 13 billion units. Facial care represents the leading market segment, with more than 64% of overall value. Asia-Pacific represents almost 45% of the global market. The skin care industry has witnessed a shift from demand from older consumers to a growing younger consumer base. People are beginning to use skin care at an increasingly young age in a bid to delay the signs of aging, while the number of older consumers is beginning to fall. There are opportunities for KollagenX to hold on to their older consumer base while still serving younger customers.
KollagenX and its Market
KollagenX is positioned in a great place in the current market. We are at the forefront of the professional market in which salons and spas are utilizing our brand to implement on the end user. In this case, once the customer has had a positive introduction to our products, they seek out our retail line. This is a powerful process and has had a very effective return on investment for our buyers. KollagenX has gained a national and international presence and we are shipping 40% of our products internationally and 60% nationally. Our key focus has been the distributor and professional market but is expanding to include retail locations.
Competition
The competitors, that we are aware of, in the 24KT Gold market, historically, catered to the professional market and to tradeshows. KollagenX is aggressively refocusing and is expanding to the retail sector and hoping to be the first to, substantially, penetrate that market. Most of the Gold products, provided by our competitors, that are available in today's market place, do not have the professional grade ingredients that we do and we, therefore, do not view them as direct competition.
Our use of high quality ingredients and direct marketing efforts, through the utilization of direct sales by commission agents, exclusively representing our Company, combine to provide a superior product and the vehicle required to penetrate the mass retail market place. In addition, the competitors that we are knowledgeable about, have focused on high end luxury retailers, at price points beyond the reach of our targeted base.
Trademarks
KollagenX owns the registered trademark KollagenX®
Manufacturing and Raw Material Suppliers
The raw materials, we require, to produce and manufacture our products are widely available from numerous suppliers and are generally considered generic industrial supplies. We currently use two suppliers for our production and do not rely on a single or unique supplier to produce our inventory. Suppliers or potential suppliers are carefully vetted.
The organic line will be produced in a USDA certified laboratory and will follow the same basic procedures, except for the need to attend and examine during the manufacturing process.
We retain an independent examiner to attend at each manufacturer, during our production runs, to ascertain that general manufacturing practices are being observed and that the ingredients are consistent with our specific formulations. Upon arrival, in our warehouse, samples are taken from each production run, sent to an independent laboratory, to confirm that the ingredients meet our protocols.
Although we are planning to implement our own bottling process for non-organic products we currently outsource the filling process for those inventory skus.
Product Distribution
Historically, the Company focused on creating relationships with distributors, who would acquire, hold and ship inventory to the distributors' clients. These relationships were, generally, conceived at trade shows, which necessitated the Company's attendance at a multitude of trade shows throughout the year. In addition, while the prime purpose of attending these trade shows, the Company would also generate retail sales form the same exposition booth. The addition of exclusive commission brokers has enabled the Company to add large retail outlets, catering to the mass market, to acquire and sell our products.
Government Regulations
KollagenX products do not contain any drugs or color additives. They are considered cosmetics and therefore are not regulated by the Federal Drug Administration.
Employees
KollagenX currently has two full time managing administrators. We have three part-time employees including accounting and retain sales representatives, on a performance basis, for our tradeshow circuit and outside sales when needed.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
An investment in our company involves a significant level of risk You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information in this Current Report on Form 10-KT. The risks described below are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer, and the trading price of our common stock could decline.
Risks Related to Our Business
An investment in our common stock is very speculative and involves a very high degree of risk.
To date, we have generated minimal revenue. For the foreseeable future, we will have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from the net proceeds of equity or debt offerings, cash on hand, licensing fees and grants. Although we plan to pursue additional financings, we may not be able to secure financing when needed or obtain financing on terms satisfactory to us. Our operations are subject to the risks and competition inherent in the establishment of a business enterprise. There can be no assurance that future operations will be profitable. We may not achieve our business objectives and the failure to achieve such goals would have an adverse impact on us.
We are not currently profitable and may never become profitable.
We expect to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future and might never become profitable. We also expect to incur significant operating and capital expenditures and anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially in the foreseeable future as we:
● | implement internal systems and infrastructure; |
● | seek to develop additional products to market; and |
● | hire management and other personnel |
We expect to experience negative cash flow for the foreseeable future. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues in order to achieve and maintain profitability. We may not be able to generate these revenues or achieve profitability in the future. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability could negatively impact the value of our common stock has a limited operating history upon which to base an investment decision.
We expect that we will require additional financing, and an inability to raise the necessary capital or to do so on acceptable terms would threaten the success of our business.
We believe that our current cash balances and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital requirements, as currently being conducted, for at least twelve months, and will provide us the financial resources to continue to develop our product candidates. However, because of the uncertainties in our business, including the uncertainties discussed in this "Risk Factors" section, we cannot assure you that this will be the case. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
| · | the progress of the development of our products; |
| · | the number of product lines we pursue; |
| · | whether or not we establish our own sales, marketing and/or manufacturing capabilities; |
| · | our ability to establish, enforce and maintain selected strategic alliances and activities required for product development and commercialization; and |
| · | our revenues, if any, from successful development and commercialization of any product candidates. |
To carry out our business plan and implement our strategy, we anticipate that we will need to obtain additional financing from time to time and may choose to raise additional funds through strategic collaborations, licensing arrangements, public or private equity or debt financing, a bank line of credit, asset sales or other arrangements. We cannot be sure that any additional funding, if needed, will be available on terms favorable to us or at all. Furthermore, any additional equity or equity-re1ated financing may be dilutive to our stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may subject us to restrictive covenants and significant interest costs. If we obtain funding through a strategic collaboration or licensing arrangement, we may be required to relinquish our rights to certain of our technologies, products or marketing territories. In addition, certain investors, including institutional investors, may be unwilling to invest in our securities since our common stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board and is not traded on a national securities exchange. Our inability to raise capital when needed would harm our business, financial condition and results of operations, and could cause our stock price to decline.
We have limited experience selling, marketing, and distributing products, and, as a result, we might not be able to effectively market and sell our products, which would have a material adverse effect on us.
Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to enter into and maintain collaborative relationships with other companies having sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, the collaborator's strategic interest in the products under development and such collaborator's ability to successfully market and sell any such products. We intend to pursue additional collaborative arrangements regarding the sales and marketing of our products; however, we might not be able to establish or maintain such collaborative arrangements, or if such arrangements are made, our counterparties might not have effective sales and marketing forces. To the extent that we decide not to, or are unable to, enter into collaborative arrangements with respect to the sales and marketing of our proposed products, significant capital expenditures, management resources and time will be required to establish and develop an in-house marketing and sales force with technical expertise. We may not be able to establish or maintain relationships with third party collaborators or develop in-house sales and distribution capabilities. To the extent that we depend on third parties for marketing and distribution, any revenues we receive will depend upon the efforts of such third parties, as well as the terms of our agreements with such third parties, which cannot be predicted at this time. As a result, we might not be able to market and sell our products in the United States or overseas, which would have a material adverse effect on us.
Developments by competitors may render our products or technologies obsolete or non-competitive.
We will compete against fully integrated skin care companies and smaller companies that are collaborating with larger skin care companies. In addition, many of these competitors, either alone or together with their collaborative partners, operate larger research and development program;, and have substantially greater financial resources than we do, as well as significantly greater experience in:
| • | developing new products; |
| | |
| • | formulating and manufacturing skin care products; and |
| | |
| • | launching, marketing and selling products. |
Many of these organizations have substantially greater capital resources, larger research and development staffs and facilities, longer development history and greater manufacturing and marketing capabilities than we do. These organizations also compete with us to attract qualified personnel, parties for acquisitions, joint ventures, and other collaborations.
We may incur substantial liabilities and may be required to limit commercialization of our products in response to product liability lawsuits.
The clinical testing of, marketing, and use of our products exposes us to product liability claims in the event that the use or misuse of those products causes injury, disease or results in adverse effects. Use of our products in commercial sales could result in product liability claims. In addition, sales of our products through third-party arrangements could subject us to product liability claims. Any product liability claim, even one that is not in excess of our insurance coverage or one that is meritless and/or unsuccessful could adversely affect our cash available for other purposes, such as research and development. In addition, the existence of a product liability claim could affect the market price of our common stock.
Risks Relating to 0wnership of Our Common Stock
The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.
The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control such as:
| · | property rights and regulatory approvals; |
| | |
| · | variations in our and our competitors' results of operations; |
| | |
| · | changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts, if our common stock is covered by analysts; |
| | |
| · | the announcement of new products or product enhancements by us or our competitors; |
| · | developments concerning intellectual |
| | |
| · | developments in the biotechnology industry; |
| | |
| · | the results of product liability or intellectual property lawsuits; |
| | |
| · | future issuances of common stock or other securities; |
| | |
| · | the addition or departure of key personnel; |
| | |
| · | announcements by us or our competitors of acquisitions, investments or strategic alliances; |
| | |
| · | general market conditions and other factors, including factors unrelated to our operating performance. |
Further, the stock market in general, and the market for biotechnology companies in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations in the past. Continued market fluctuations could result in extreme vo1atility in the price of our common stock, which could cause a decline in the value of our common stock. Price volatility of our common stock might be worse if the trading volume of our common stock is low. We have not paid, and do not expect to pay, any cash dividends on our common stock as any earnings generated from future operations will be used to finance our operations and as a result, investors will not realize any income from an investment in our common stock until and unless their shares are sold at a profit.
Some or all of the "restricted" shares of our common stock issued in connection with the August 4, 2014, Stock Exchange Agreement or held by other of our stockholders may be offered from time to time in the open market pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, and these sales may have a depressive effect on the market for our common stock.
Trading of our common stock is limited and trading restrictions imposed on us by regulatory authorities may farther reduce our trading, making it difficult for our stockholders to sell their shares.
Trading of our common stock is currently conducted in the Over-the-Counter market and our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB. The liquidity of our common stock is limited, not only in terms of the number of shares that can be bought and sold at a given price, but may also be adversely affected by delays in the timing of transactions and reduction in security analysts' and the media's coverage of us, if at all.
These factors may result in lower prices for our common stock than might otherwise be obtained and could also result in a larger spread between the bid and ask prices for our common stock. In addition, without a large float, our common stock is less liquid than the stock of companies with broader public ownership and, as a result, the trading prices of our common stock may be more volatile. In the absence of an active public trading market, an investor may be unable to liquidate his investment in our common stock. Trading of a relatively small volume of our common stock may have a greater impact on the trading price of our stock than would be the case if our public float were larger. We cannot predict the prices at which our common stock will trade in the future.
Rule 144 will not be available for the outstanding shares issued by the Company after December 2005 for a period of at least one year after the filing of this report on Form 10 KT, which means that these shareholders may not be able to sell such shares in the open market during this period.
Rule 144 does not permit reliance upon such rule for the resale of shares sold after the issuer first became a shell company, until the issuer meets certain requirements, including ceasing to be a shell company, the filing of Form 10-type information, and the filing for a period of one year periodic reports required under the Exchange Act. As a result, the holders of all of the restricted shares issued in the August 4, 2014 Stock Exchange Agreement, as well as of any of the outstanding shares issued by the Company after December 2005, will not be able to sell their shares in reliance upon Rule 144 during this waiting period except pursuant to a registration statement filed by us which includes these shares for resale. We have not agreed to register any of these shares for resale.
Because our common stock may be a "penny stock," it may be more difficult for investors to sell shares of our common stock, and the market price of our common stock may be adversely affected.
Our common stock may be a "penny stock" if; among other things, the stock price is below $5.00 per share, it is not listed on a national securities exchange or approved for quotation on the American Stock Exchange, the FINRA Stock Market or any other national stock exchange or it has not met certain net tangible asset or average revenue requirements. Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks must provide purchasers of these stocks with a standardi21ed risk-disclosure document prepared by the SEC. This document provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks involved in investing in the penny-stock market. A broker must also give a purchaser, orally or in writing, bid and offer quotations and information regarding broker and salesperson compensation, make a written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser, and obtain the purchaser's written agreement to the purchase. Broker-dealers must also provide customers that hold penny stock in their accounts with such broker-dealer a monthly statement containing price and market information relating to the penny stock. If a penny stock is sold to an investor in violation of the penny stock rules, the investor may be able to cancel its purchase and get its money back.
If applicable, the penny stock rules may make it difficult for investors to sell their shares of our common stock. Because of the rules and restrictions applicable to a penny stock, there is less trading in penny stocks and the market price of our common stock may be adversely affected. Also, many brokers choose not to participate in penny stock transactions. Accordingly, investors may not always be able to resell their shares of our common stock publicly at times and prices that they feel are appropriate.
Our management team, as in effect, upon the consummation of the August 4, 2014 Stock Exchange Agreement, has no experience in managing and operating a public U.S. company. Any failure to comply or adequately comply with federal securities laws, rules or regulations could subject us to fines or regulatory actions, which may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our management team, as in effect upon the closing of the Transaction, has no experience managing and operating a public U.S. company. Failure to comply or adequately comply with any laws, rules, or regulations applicable to our business may result in fines or regulatory actions, which may materially adversely affect our business, results of operation, or financial conditions and could result in delays in achieving the development of an active and liquid trading market for our stock.
Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. In addition, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which could have a material adverse effect on the price of our common stock.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our operating results could be harmed.
We will be required to document and test our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and may include a report by our independent registered public accounting firm addressing these assessments. During the course of product development, we may identify deficiencies and weaknesses that we may not be able to remediate in time to meet the deadline imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for Compliance with the requirements of Section 404. In addition, if we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal contro1s, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Disclosing deficiencies or weaknesses in our internal controls, failing to remediate these deficiencies or weaknesses in a timely fashion or failing to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment may cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a material adverse effect on the price of our common stock.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company leases a 5,000 square foot storage and office facility at 4850 Eucalyptus, Suite B, in Chino, California, on a monthly lease arrangement.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not currently involved in any legal proceedings and we are not aware of any pending or potential legal actions.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
Not applicable to a "smaller reporting company" as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of SEC regulation S-K.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
KollagenX, Inc. was incorporated in the state of California on May 15, 2009 under the name QWR, Inc., and commenced operations, in 2010, doing business as KollagenX. Revenue is generated through tradeshows, retail and wholesale operations. On October 08, 2013, the name was changed to KollagenX Incorporated.
KollagenX manufactures unique skin care products formulated to make you feel great by enhancing and beautifying your skin. The products, which, are sold nationally and internationally, are designed to provide the nourishment your skin needs to be healthier while restoring its natural youthful glow and providing a smoother, suppler appearance. Our products contain 24KT Gold and collagen with active ingredients that penetrate the pores and help reduce fine lines, wrinkles and sunspots. Currently, there are six products in the collection with twelve more products formulated and positioned, at the appropriate time, to be brought to market. The six products already in the market place are the KollagenX brand consisting of the 24KT Gold Face Mask, the 24KT Under-Eye Mask, the 24KT Gold Eye Serum, the 24KT Gold Hydrating Cream, the 24KT Gold Cleanser and our latest product which is our 24 KT Gold Lip Gloss.
KollagenX headquarters and operations are located at 4850 Eucalyptus Ave. Chino, California 91710 Suite B.
Plan of Operations
After several years of revenue generation, based on the existing products, KollagenX has positioned itself, for immediate growth, in the international and national market place. In addition to significantly increasing our advertising budget, we have recently launched a new 500ml professional line, which consists of the entire collection plus a 24KT Gold Toner used mainly for commercial applications and services. The professional line is being introduced to salons and spas in bulk starter packages consisting of over 100 treatments, each. This plan has been implemented to provide our commercial clients with the opportunity to increase their service sales and to offer retail and sample sizes to their customers. It will enable our salons and spas to service individual clients and act as an introduction, to the product, for those clients.
Competition
There are competitors in our market place but few, if any, are servicing the broad spectrum of the national and international markets to the depth that KollagenX is. Our competition that services the retail market is priced beyond the reach of our basic customer and is currently only available, primarily, in luxury retail operations.
Results of Operations
As of February 28, 2015 and 2014, we had $145 and $4,905 cash on hand. This cash, plus available loans and credit provided by shareholders and others was deemed to be sufficient to allow the Company to operate, at present levels, for the next twelve months. The Company is sourcing a permanent line of credit to enable it to sustain its anticipated growth. The Company has accumulated an operating deficit of $463,420 since inception.
Revenue decreased by $4,246 or 1.5% from $287,604 for the year ended February 28, 2014 to $283,357 for the year ended February 28, 2015. Gross margin, as a result of greater distributor sales, decreased from $236,035 for the year ended February 28, 2014, or 82% of sales to $203,890 or 72% of sales, a decrease of 13.6%. Operating expenses increased from $244,344 to $488,339 an increase of 243,995 or 99.9% for the year ended February 28, 2015 compared to the year ended February 28, 2014. The increase is due to the costs incurred to position the Company for future growth and the additional costs incurred to become part of a publically traded Company.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to the Company. Although the Company has plans to raise additional capital, there are currently no agreements or arrangements with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or other sources. The inability to raise funds could have a severe negative impact on the Company's ability to achieve its business plan.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to investors.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
On January 30, 2015, DKM Certified Public Accountants were appointed auditors for KollagenX, Inc. and KollagenX Corp.
On January 27, 2015, L.L. Bradford resigned as the auditor of KollagenX, Inc. During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period preceding L.L. Bradford's resignation, there were no reportable events or disagreements with L.L. Bradford on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of L.L. Bradford, would have caused the Company to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with this report.
On November 3, 2014, Kyle Tingle was dismissed as the auditor of KollagenX Corp. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and 2014, and through the subsequent interim period ending June 30, 2014, there were no disagreements with Tingle on any matter of wholly accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Tingle, would have caused Tingle to make reference thereto in its report on the registrant's financial statements for such years and quarter period
Item 9A Controls and Procedures
Management's Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, requires us to carry out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of February 28, 2015. This evaluation was implemented under the supervision and with the participation of our officers and directors.
Based on this evaluation, management concluded that, as of February 28, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our officers and directors have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures had the following material weaknesses:
| · | We were unable to maintain any segregation of duties within our financial operations due to our reliance on limited personnel in the finance function. While this control deficiency did not result in any audit adjustments to our financial statements, it could have resulted in a material misstatement that might have been prevented or detected by a segregation of duties; |
| · | We lack sufficient resources to perform the internal audit function and do not have an Audit Committee; |
| · | We do not have an independent Board of Directors, nor do we have a board member designated as an independent financial expert. The Board of Directors is comprised of two members who also serve as executive officers. As a result, there is a lack of independent oversight of the management team, lack of independent review of our operating and financial results, and lack of independent review of disclosures made by us; and |
| · | Documentation of all proper accounting procedures is not yet complete. |
To the extent reasonably possible given our limited resources, we intend to take measures to cure the aforementioned weaknesses, including, but not limited to, the following:
| · | Engaging consultants to assist in ensuring that accounting policies and procedures are consistent across the organization and that we have adequate control over financial statement disclosures; |
| · | Hiring additional qualified financial personnel; |
| · | Expanding our current board of directors to include additional independent individuals willing to perform directorial functions; and |
| · | Increasing our workforce in preparation for exiting the development stage and commencing revenue producing operations. |
Since the recited remedial actions will require that we hire or engage additional personnel, these material weaknesses may not be overcome in the near-term due to our limited financial resources. Until such remedial actions can be realized, we will continue to rely on the limited advice of outside professionals and consultants. These initiatives will be subject to our ability to obtain sufficient future financing and subject to our ability to start generating revenue.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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.
Our officers have assessed the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of February 28, 2015. In making this assessment, management used the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based upon its assessment, management concluded that, as of February 28, 2015, our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective.
Management has identified a lack of sufficient personnel in the accounting function due to our limited resources with appropriate skills, training and experience to perform the review processes to ensure the complete and proper application of generally accepted accounting principles. We are in the process of developing and implementing remediation plans to address our material weaknesses in our internal controls.
Management has identified specific remedial actions to address the material weaknesses described above:
| · | Improve the effectiveness of the accounting group by augmenting our existing resources with additional consultants or employees to improve segregation procedures and to assist in the analysis and recording of complex accounting transactions and preparation of tax disclosures. We plan to mitigate the segregation of duties issue by hiring additional personnel in the accounting department once we have achieved positive cash flow from operations and/or have raised significant additional working capital; and |
| · | Improve segregation procedures by strengthening cross approval of various functions including cash disbursements and quarterly internal audit procedures where appropriate. |
Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for smaller reporting companies under Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the year ended February 28, 2015, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
