NOTE 1 – BACKGROUND AND ORGANIZATION
Organization
Crowd Shares Aftermarket, Inc. (“the Company”) was originally incorporated in the State of Delaware on May 24, 2007, under the name Red Oak Concepts, Inc. to serve as a vehicle for a business combination through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination. On December 4, 2007, the Company changed its jurisdiction of domicile by merging with a Nevada corporation titled Red Oak Concepts, Inc. On November 21, 2008, the Company changed its name to Vinyl Products, Inc. in connection with a reverse acquisition transaction with The Vinyl Fence Company, Inc. (“VFC”), a California corporation. On September 26, 2013, the Company formed Crowd Shares Aftermarket, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. On October 8, 2013, the Company merged with its wholly owned subsidiary, Crowd Shares Aftermarket, Inc. and as part of the merger changed its name to Crowd Shares Aftermarket, Inc.
On November 20, 2008, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with VFC. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of VFC from the VFC shareholders in exchange for 22,100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, on November 21, 2008, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State for the State of Nevada to change its corporate name to “Vinyl Products, Inc.” to better reflect its business. On October 8, 2013, the Company merged with its wholly owned subsidiary, Crowd Shares Aftermarket, Inc. and as part of the merger changed its name to Crowd Shares Aftermarket, Inc.
Brackin O’Connor Transaction
On December 31, 2010, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all of the membership interests in Brackin O’Connor, LLC (“Brackin O’Connor”). Brackin O’Connor operates a passenger transportation business. Its initial operations are focused on servicing the tourism industry in Scottsdale, Arizona. The Company agreed to issue 20,000,000 shares of its common stock to the members of Brackin O’Connor in exchange for the membership interests in Brackin O’Connor (the “Equity Exchange”).
Brackin O’Connor, LLC was formed as an Arizona limited liability company in February, 2005. In 2010, Brackin O’Connor entered the passenger transportation business commonly referred to as a chauffeured vehicle service.
On April 8, 2011, the Company entered into a Promissory note with Doug Brackin for a total of $62,500. The promissory note was not paid by the maturity date of July 31, 2011, and accordingly, the note started to accrue compounding interest at 1.25% per month effective August 1, 2011. Interest expense totaled $0 and $750 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. The Company made a partial principal payment in the amount of $50,000 in July 2013 and a $25,000 payment in April, 2015, paying off the balance and partial interest.
On April 25, 2015, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell all of the membership interests in Brackin O’Connor, LLC to the original members of Brackin O’Connor, LLC for $25,000 which was used to reduce the outstanding Note Payable and accrued interest due to Doug Brackin, the Company’s CEO. Please refer to Note 8 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS.

Business Overview
The Company’s business operations support securities crowdfunding (“SCF”) activities. SCF in its simplest terms, is a global movement towards broadening the investor base in small businesses by lowering accreditation standards of investors and changing the rules around the marketing of investment opportunities. Steven Case, the former AOL exec, often quips that “an average middle class person can go to Vegas and gamble away $10,000, but that same person can’t invest $10,000 in Facebook before its public.” The SCF movement seeks to change this paradigm.
Reports have been published that suggest fund raising through crowdfunding mechanisms will grow from the current $2B mark in 2012 to over $500B in just the US alone. In essence, this suggests that the fundamental mechanism or process through which angel and seed funding will occur will be through technology-assisted SCF platforms. These platforms standardize the process, make it more transparent for both investors and entrepreneurs, and, most importantly, broaden the investor target reach or visibility. The SCF movement is less about blazing a new trail in new unchartered waters of finance; but rather, a shift towards utilizing technology platforms to make the existing process available to a wider audience less friction for all those involved. As with the first wave of ecommerce, the primary innovation will be simply expanding the potential audience for a given product/offering. No longer will deal access be singularly controlled by the few with deep rolodexes.
The Company believes (and data suggests) that most modern governments will push regulation towards a structure mirroring an environment like that seen in the UK today or the US with the JOBS Act changes. These changes coupled with technology platforms that span geographic boundaries, will enable a truly global network of small business funding. Just like a US consumer can buy products from the UK via the internet, investors will be able to see and access deals regardless of their geographic location.
The Company earns revenue by providing outsourced SCF services including developing marketing programs for companies looking to utilize technology to reach a broader potential investor base. The Company’s business does not contemplate a transaction or success fee component.
The SCF industry is growing at a rapid pace and with regulatory changes promises to significantly enhance the access by lower middle market (“LMM”) companies to financing and investor access to private placements.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The Company maintains its accounting records on an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The financial statements include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiary, Brackin O’Connor. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Because the acquisition of Brackin O’Connor was treated as a reverse acquisition, the financial statements of the Company have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the acquisition from the beginning of the reported periods. The Equity Exchange transaction has been accounted as a reverse merger and recapitalization of the Company whereby Brackin O’Connor is deemed to be the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and the Company to be the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer). The basis of the assets, liabilities and retained earnings of Brackin O’Connor has been carried over in the recapitalization, and earnings per share have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse merger.

Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $40,684 during the nine months ending September 30, 2015 and an accumulated deficit of $469,498 since inception. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, develop a reliable source of revenues, and achieve a profitable level of operations the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plans to continue as a going concern include raising additional capital through sales of common stock and or a debt financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are adjusted to reflect actual experience when necessary. Significant estimates and assumptions affect many items in the financial statements. These include allowance for doubtful trade receivables, asset impairments, and contingencies and litigation. Significant estimates and assumptions are also used to establish the fair value and useful lives of depreciable tangible and certain intangible assets. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions, and such results may affect income, financial position or cash flows.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and equivalents include investments with initial maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains its cash balances at credit-worthy financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. Deposits with these banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits; however, these deposits typically may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk. The Company did not have any cash equivalents at September 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using straight line methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The Company reviews the carrying value of long-term assets to be held and used when events and circumstances warrant such a review. If the carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value. Fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs is charged to operations as incurred. Major overhaul that extends the useful life of existing assets is capitalized. When equipment is retired or disposed, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated and the resulting profit or loss is recognized in income.
9 |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360-10”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment annually or more often if events and circumstances warrant. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company’s current revenue stream consists of fee for services provided. Such revenue is recognized when the services are performed.
Revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fees to be paid by the customer are fixed or determinable, collection of the fees is probable, delivery of the service and or product has occurred, and no other significant obligations on the part of the Company remain.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements using the fair value method in accordance with the accounting provisions relating to share-based payments (“Codification Topic 718”). The company accounts for the stock options issued to non-employees in accordance with these provisions. Stock options are valued using a Black-Scholes options pricing model which requires estimates such as expected term, discount rate and stock volatility.
Issuance of Shares for Non-Cash Consideration
The Company accounts for the issuance of equity instruments to acquire goods and/or services based on the fair value of the goods and services or the fair value of the equity instrument at the time of issuance, whichever is more reliably determinable. The Company’s accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of standards issued by the FASB. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under standards issued by the FASB. Under those standards, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax benefits or consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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. A valuation allowance is provided for significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized through future operations.
No provision for federal income taxes has been recorded due to the net operating loss carry forwards totaling approximately $437,058 as of September 30, 2015 that will be offset against future taxable income. The available net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $437,000 will expire in various years through 2035. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the carry forwards will expire unused. The income tax benefit differs from the amount computed by applying the US federal income tax rate of 35% to net loss before income taxes for the period ended September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and had no uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
10 |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820-10”). ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances fair value measurement disclosure. ASC 820-10 delays, until the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the effective date for ASC 820-10 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The adoption of ASC 820-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or operations, but does require that the Company disclose assets and liabilities that are recognized and measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, presented in a three-tier fair value hierarchy, as follows:
● | Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; |
● | Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and |
● | Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
No assets or liabilities were valued at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014, respectively.
Effective October 1, 2008, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820-10”) and Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Neither of these statements had an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and short-term borrowings, as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard which provides new guidance that requires share-based compensation to meet a specific performance target to be achieved in order for employees to become eligible to vest in the awards and that could be achieved after an employee completes the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation costs should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if the performance target is achieved. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in this Update either (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The adoption of ASU 2014-12 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
11 |
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities”. The amendments in this update remove the definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of the ASC thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from U.S. GAAP. In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had’ been in the development stage. The amendments in this update are applied retrospectively. The early adoption of ASU 2014-10 is permitted which removed the development stage entity financial reporting requirements from the Company.
In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance to improve financial reporting by reducing the cost and complexity associated with the incremental reporting requirements of development stage entities. The amendments in this update remove all incremental financial reporting requirements from U.S. GAAP for development stage entities, thereby improving financial reporting by eliminating the cost and complexity associated with providing that information. The amendments in this Update also eliminate an exception provided to development stage entities in Topic 810, Consolidation, for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity on the basis of the amount of investment equity that is at risk. The amendments to eliminate that exception simplify U.S. GAAP by reducing avoidable complexity in existing accounting literature and improve the relevance of information provided to financial statement users by requiring the application of the same consolidation guidance by all reporting entities. The elimination of the exception may change the consolidation analysis, consolidation decision, and disclosure requirements for a reporting entity that has an interest in an entity in the development stage. The amendments related to the elimination of inception-to-date information and the other remaining disclosure requirements of Topic 915 should be applied retrospectively except for the clarification to Topic 275, which shall be applied prospectively. For public companies, those amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-10 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In August 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard that requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the standard (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The standard in this Update is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In November 2014, the FASB issued new guidance for determining when separation of certain embedded derivative features in a hybrid financial instrument is required. That is, an entity will continue to evaluate whether the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative feature are clearly and closely related to those of the host contract, among other relevant criteria. The amendments clarify how current GAAP should be interpreted in evaluating the economic characteristics and risks of a host contract in a hybrid financial instrument that is issued in the form of a share. The effects of initially adopting the amendments in this Update should be applied on a modified retrospective basis to existing hybrid financial instruments issued in the form of a share as of the beginning of the fiscal year for which the amendments are effective. Retrospective application is permitted to all relevant prior periods. The adoption of ASU 2014-16 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In November 2014, the FASB issued guidance to provide an acquired entity with an option to apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements upon occurrence of an event in which an acquirer obtains control of the acquired entity. After the effective date, an acquired entity can make an election to apply the guidance to future change-in-control events or to its most recent change-in-control event. However, if the financial statements for the period in which the most recent change-in-control event occurred already have been issued or made available to be issued, the application of this guidance would be a change in accounting principle. The amendments in this Update are effective on November 18, 2014. The adoption of ASU 2014-17 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context requires otherwise, “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Crowd Shares Aftermarket, Inc., a Nevada corporation. The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation provide information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and all our other filings, including Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) through the date of this report.
Forward Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes both historical and forward-looking statements, which include information relating to future events, future financial performance, strategies, expectations, competitive environment and regulations. Words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are intended to operate as “forward-looking statements” of the kind permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, incorporated in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). That legislation protects such predictive statements by creating a “safe harbor” from liability in the event that a particular prediction does not turn out as anticipated. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will probably not be accurate indications of when such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information we have when those statements are made or our management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. You should review carefully the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 4 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of certain of the risks that could cause our actual results to differ from those expressed or suggested by the forward-looking statements.
The inclusion of the forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us, or any other person, that such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should be aware that any forward-looking statement made by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or elsewhere, speaks only as of the date on which we make it. We undertake no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In light of the foregoing, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Business Overview
The Company’s business operations support securities crowdfunding (“SCF”) activities. SCF in its simplest terms, is a global movement towards broadening the investor base in small businesses by lowering accreditation standards of investors and changing the rules around the marketing of investment opportunities. Steven Case, the former AOL exec, often quips that “an average middle class person can go to Vegas and gamble away $10,000, but that same person can’t invest $10,000 in Facebook before its public.” The SCF movement seeks to change this paradigm.
Reports have been published that suggest fund raising through crowdfunding mechanisms will grow from the current $2B mark in 2012 to over $500B in just the US alone. In essence, this suggests that the fundamental mechanism or process through which angel and seed funding will occur will be through technology-assisted SCF platforms. These platforms standardize the process, make it more transparent for both investors and entrepreneurs, and, most importantly, broaden the investor target reach or visibility. The SCF movement is less about blazing a new trail in new unchartered waters of finance; but rather, a shift towards utilizing technology platforms to make the existing process available to a wider audience less friction for all those involved. As with the first wave of ecommerce, the primary innovation will be simply expanding the potential audience for a given product/offering. No longer will deal access be singularly controlled by the few with deep rolodexes.
16 |
The Company believes (and data suggests) that most modern governments will push regulation towards a structure mirroring an environment like that seen in the UK today or the US with the JOBS Act changes. These changes coupled with technology platforms that span geographic boundaries, will enable a truly global network of small business funding. Just like a US consumer can buy products from the UK via the internet, investors will be able to see and access deals regardless of their geographic location.
The Company earns revenue by providing outsourced SCF services including developing marketing programs for companies looking to utilize technology to reach a broader potential investor base. The Company’s business does not contemplate a transaction or success fee component.
The SCF industry is growing at a rapid pace and with regulatory changes promises to significantly enhance the access by lower middle market (“LMM”) companies to financing and investor access to private placements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we incurred losses of $40,684 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and have an accumulated deficit of $469,498 at September 30, 2015. At September 30, 2015, we had cash of $2.
We started to generate revenue in January 2011, however, in order to continue as a going concern, develop a reliable source of revenues, and achieve a profitable level of operations, we will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Accordingly, management’s plans to continue as a going concern include raising additional capital through sales of common stock and other securities.
On June 14, 2013, the Company entered into Note Purchase Agreements with six accredited investors for the purchase and sale by the Company of $215,000 of its 10% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes due December 31, 2014 (“Promissory Notes”). The Promissory Notes, issued on June 14, 2013, constitute the senior indebtedness of the Company. The Company and investors agreed that no indebtedness senior to the Promissory Notes may be created without the consent of holders of a majority in interest of the Promissory Notes. The Promissory Notes and all accrued interest are convertible by the Promissory Note holders into shares of Common Stock at a price equal to $1.00 per share (“Conversion Price”). Shares acquired upon conversion will be eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 six months after the date of issue of the Promissory Notes. The Promissory Notes are secured by a lien on all of the Company’s assets. Interest on the Promissory Notes will accrue and be paid at maturity or converted into common stock when each respective Promissory Note is converted. The Promissory Notes shall be subject to mandatory conversion at the applicable Conversion Price upon the completion of a qualified financing, defined as an equity financing of not less than $1.5 million in aggregate gross proceeds from any equity or equity derivative financing. The Company agreed to include the shares of Common Stock underlying the Promissory Notes (unless eligible for resale under Rule 144) in any registration statement filed by the Company other than in connection with compensation plans and certain other types of transactions.
As of September 30, 2015, the Company had $215,000 in Promissory Notes outstanding.
On February 7, 2015, the Company issued and sold a $12,000 Note due May 7, 2015. The proceeds to the Company were $8,000 and the Company recorded an Original Issue Discount (“OID”) of $4,000 which will be amortized over the life of the note. Interest expense totaled $4,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The unamortized OID balance at September 30, 2015 was $ 0.
Our current funding is sufficient to continue our operations for the remainder of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, however, we will require additional debt and/or equity financing to continue our operation beyond December 31, 2015. We cannot provide any assurances that additional financing will be available to us or, if available, may not be available on acceptable terms.
If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to cease or delay development of our operations, sell assets or our business may fail. In each such case, the holders of our common stock would lose all or most of their investment. Please see “Risk Factors” for information regarding the risks related to our financial condition.

Inflation Risk
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. However, if our costs such as gasoline were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
Capital Resources and Requirements
Our future liquidity and capital requirements will be influenced by numerous factors, including:
● | the extent and duration of future operating income; | |
● | the level and timing of future sales and expenditures; | |
● | working capital required to support our growth; | |
● | investment capital for transportation vehicles and equipment; | |
● | our sales and marketing programs; | |
● | investment capital for potential acquisitions; | |
● | competition; and | |
● | market developments. |
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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. Our management periodically evaluates the estimates and judgments made. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360-10”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment annually or more often if events and circumstances warrant. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell. The Company performed an annual review for impairment and none existed as of December 31, 2014.
19 |
Issuance of Shares for Non-Cash Consideration
The Company accounts for the issuance of equity instruments to acquire goods and/or services based on the fair value of the goods and services or the fair value of the equity instrument at the time of issuance, whichever is more reliably determinable. The Company’s accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of standards issued by the FASB. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard which provides new guidance that requires share-based compensation to meet a specific performance target to be achieved in order for employees to become eligible to vest in the awards and that could be achieved after an employee completes the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation costs should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if the performance target is achieved. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in this Update either (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The adoption of ASU 2014-12 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities”. The amendments in this update remove the definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of the ASC thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from U.S. GAAP. In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had’ been in the development stage. The amendments in this update are applied retrospectively. The early adoption of ASU 2014-10 is permitted which removed the development stage entity financial reporting requirements from the Company.
In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance to improve financial reporting by reducing the cost and complexity associated with the incremental reporting requirements of development stage entities. The amendments in this update remove all incremental financial reporting requirements from U.S. GAAP for development stage entities, thereby improving financial reporting by eliminating the cost and complexity associated with providing that information. The amendments in this Update also eliminate an exception provided to development stage entities in Topic 810, Consolidation, for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity on the basis of the amount of investment equity that is at risk. The amendments to eliminate that exception simplify U.S. GAAP by reducing avoidable complexity in existing accounting literature and improve the relevance of information provided to financial statement users by requiring the application of the same consolidation guidance by all reporting entities. The elimination of the exception may change the consolidation analysis, consolidation decision, and disclosure requirements for a reporting entity that has an interest in an entity in the development stage. The amendments related to the elimination of inception-to-date information and the other remaining disclosure requirements of Topic 915 should be applied retrospectively except for the clarification to Topic 275, which shall be applied prospectively. For public companies, those amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-10 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In August 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard that requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the standard (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The standard in this Update is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In November 2014, the FASB issued new guidance for determining when separation of certain embedded derivative features in a hybrid financial instrument is required. That is, an entity will continue to evaluate whether the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative feature are clearly and closely related to those of the host contract, among other relevant criteria. The amendments clarify how current GAAP should be interpreted in evaluating the economic characteristics and risks of a host contract in a hybrid financial instrument that is issued in the form of a share. The effects of initially adopting the amendments in this Update should be applied on a modified retrospective basis to existing hybrid financial instruments issued in the form of a share as of the beginning of the fiscal year for which the amendments are effective. Retrospective application is permitted to all relevant prior periods. The adoption of ASU 2014-16 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In November 2014, the FASB issued guidance to provide an acquired entity with an option to apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements upon occurrence of an event in which an acquirer obtains control of the acquired entity. After the effective date, an acquired entity can make an election to apply the guidance to future change-in-control events or to its most recent change-in-control event. However, if the financial statements for the period in which the most recent change-in-control event occurred already have been issued or made available to be issued, the application of this guidance would be a change in accounting principle. The amendments in this Update are effective on November 18, 2014. The adoption of ASU 2014-17 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

We are a smaller reporting company and therefore, we are not required to provide information required by this item of Form 10-Q.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2015. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it 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. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2015, and this assessment identified certain material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, including material weaknesses due to our management’s lack of segregation of duties in financial transactions or reporting as a result of the fact that we only have two officers. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
Based on that evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2015.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On March 1, 2011, we entered into three separate consulting agreements. We agreed to issue a total of 2,500,000 shares of restricted common stock as payment for services provided under the respective consulting agreements. All of the above shares were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. In connection with this issuance, all purchasers were provided with access to all material aspects of the company, including the business, management, offering details, risk factors and financial statements. They also represented to us that they were acquiring the shares as a principal for their own account with investment intent. They each also represented that they were sophisticated, having prior investment experience and having adequate and reasonable opportunity and access to any corporate information necessary to make an informed decision. This issuance of securities was not accompanied by general advertisement or general solicitation.
On June 14, 2013, the Company issued and sold $215,000 of its 10% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes due December 31, 2014. These securities were offered to accredited investors in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) under Regulation D. The securities in the offering have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state “blue sky” securities laws, and may not be offered or sold absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
