Bulk Storage, Inc.
Notes To the Unaudited Financial Statements
For The Three and Nine Month Periods Ended June 30, 2015
Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
ORGANIZATION
Bulk Storage Software, Inc. (the "Company"), was incorporated in the State of Colorado on October 15, 2007. The Company was formed to provide software and consulting services with regard to computer data storage. The Company may also engage in any business that is permitted by law, as designated by the board of directors of the Company.
Basis of Presentation
Unaudited Financial Information
The interim unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Form 10-Q and Article 8 of SEC Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature and considered necessary for a fair presentation of its financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been included. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of financial results for the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2014. In preparing these financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
BASIC EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company has adopted the FASB ASC Topic 260 regarding earnings / loss per share, which provides for calculation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings / loss per share. Basic earnings / loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income / loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings / loss per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity similar to fully diluted earnings / loss per share.
INCOME TAXES
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. The asset and liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740. There was no increase in liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits as a result of this implementation.

Notes To the Unaudited Financial Statements
For The Three and Nine Month Periods Ended June 30, 2015
Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since inception, the Company has had recurring operating losses and negative operating cash flows. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing to fund operations, implement its business model, and ultimately, to attain profitable operations. The Company will need to secure additional funds through various means, including an acquisition, equity and debt financing or any similar financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing, if and when needed, on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. Any additional equity or debt financing may involve substantial dilution to the Company's stockholders, restrictive covenants or high interest costs. The Company's long-term liquidity also depends upon its ability to generate revenues and achieve profitability.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 2 – Impact of New Accounting Standards
In June 2014 the FASB issued ASU 2014-10 regarding development stage entities. The ASU removes the definition of development stage entity, as was previously defined under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP), from the accounting standards codification, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from U.S. GAAP.
In addition, the ASU eliminates the requirements for development stage entities to (i) present inception-to-date information in the statement of income, cash flow and stockholders' equity, (ii) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (iii) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (iv) 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 Company has chosen to adopt the ASU early for the Company's financial statements as of June 30, 2015. The adoption of this pronouncement impacted the Company by eliminating the requirement to report inception to date financial information previously required.
Note 4 – Notes Payable
The Company at June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 had outstanding notes payable for $80,500 and $73,300 respectively to related party shareholders, unsecured, bearing interest rates at 8% per annum for $52,500 and 2% per annum for $28,000, respectively and all are due on demand. During the quarter ended June 30, 2015 the Company had general and administrative expenses paid on their behalf of $3,600 an additional $3,600 was included as prepaid interest. Interest expense under the notes for the three month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $2,045 and $4,144 respectively for the nine month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $6,967 and $7,825 respectively. Accrued interest at June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 was $20,765 and $17,258 respectively.
The notes are convertible anytime at the holders' discretion into common stock at $.001 per share of $7,200 entered in the quarter ended June 30, 2015. Because of the fixed conversion rate, $7,200 was expensed as a beneficial conversion feature as of June 30, 2015.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATION

Overview and History
Bulk Storage Software, Inc. (the "Company"), was incorporated in the State of Colorado on October 15, 2007. The Company was formed to provide software and consulting services with regard to computer data storage.
We are presently designing and developing software and hardware based data storage appliance which will be known as "Enterprise Mass Storage Manager" (EMSM). This product can be utilized by any data intensive industry. We will utilize industry standard network communication protocols coupled with state of the art data deduplication technology in the development of the EMSM data storage appliance.
The terms data storage "appliance" and "data deduplication" will be used frequently throughout this document. The term "appliance", as used herein, refers to:
A standard packaged computer assembly utilizing a central processing unit (cpu), disk and memory resources along with a Linux operating system. This computer will be utilized to run the specialized storage software application referred to as EMSM. The EMSM appliance will be designed as a self contained storage appliance which can be quickly and easily installed and deployed in virtually any computer storage network.
The term "data deduplication" refers to:
Specialized software algorithms which identify repeated instances of files, such as word documents, etc. in computer networks and replace these repeated instances with keys or "hashes" which uniquely identify the replaced file. Identical blocks or strings of data, which are not necessarily in file format, are identified and replaced in the same way. By replacing the actual repeated data on a computer network with a small, unique representation of the data (the key), the amount of physical electronic data storage is reduced significantly.
The Product
EMSM comes from traditional Network Attached Storage (NAS) technology, utilizing the well established Network File System (NFS) protocol and utilizing data deduplication methods. EMSM will provide corporate Information Technology professionals with advanced data storage technology to provide the following benefits:
| · | 10-20 times the electronic storage capacity of traditional storage devices |
| · | Storage capacity planning |
| · | Live error and alarm capture and notification |
| · | Storage asset management |
| · | Storage device management |
| · | Reduced data center power consumption |
| · | Reduced data center cooling requirements |
| · | Reduced data center floor space requirements |
We believe that the recent increase in the demands for electronic data storage has increased these challenges to corporate Information Technology ("IT") organizations and technicians significantly over the last several years.
Bulk Storage EMSM provides the capability for corporations to address these issues with a platform independent, scalable appliance for a fraction of what they are currently spending on data storage devices and administration (human resource costs coupled with the capital costs of storage arrays). We believe that Bulk Storage EMSM can help IT organizations achieve strategic corporate objectives such as:
· | Maximizing the use of IT resources (administrative and capital) |
· | Ensuring business continuance and data protection |
· | Managing capital and administrative costs associated with information management |
· | Managing growth associated with electronic information storage |
· | Meeting Federal regulatory compliance requirements (HIPAA, SOX) |
· | Meeting data protection requirements |
To help corporations achieve these objectives, we have developed an open, independent Specialized Storage Management Software (SMS) application.
The majority of the application will be written in Java, while the Data Deduplication Software will be written in "C" to minimize CPU cycles on the data deduplication end. The data deduplication database utilized will most likely be historical Berkely Database for licensing purposes. However, if the end user prefers Oracle, Sybase, etc. they will have that flexibility, but the licensing burden will be theirs.
Data deduplication is a technology whereby the EMSM appliance, through proprietary software algorithms, stores identical blocks of information and identical files only once. Where most storage devices store multiple copies of the same files and identical blocks of information many times over, thus using costly storage space for redundant information.
The EMSM storage appliance stores only one copy of the identical information while storing only a small representation of the identical information, or a "reference key", each time the redundant information is encountered in the computer enterprise. This capability enables the EMSM appliance to provide 5, 10, 15, 20 or even 50 times the effective storage capacity of conventional storage arrays utilizing the same "raw" disk drive capacity. This "effective capacity" also requires the same amount of power and cooling as the conventional storage array with significantly more electronic storage capacity for the user.
The EMSM product is designed to install on any Unix, Linux or Microsoft computer system. We not intend to pursue the MVS or AS400 markets. Supported backup applications will initially Veritas ™ NetBackup, and BackupExec ™, with the next targeted application being IBM ™ TSM. The Company will support fiber channel and iSCSI SANS initially. The Company will initially support EMC and Hitachi disk arrays, with IBM Shark, NetApp and LSI Logic as the next targets. These application ports encompass approximately 70% of our targeted midrange market.
The product will be extremely scalable as the end user can choose either a central or distributed EMSM database. With the centralized management console approach the user will be able to view all Bulk Storage appliances globally from a single User Interface (UI), while different geographical locations can be restricted with regard to viewing and management capabilities. Permissions will be restricted through access control lists (ACL's).
We intend to pursue several strategic software development partnerships with established software and hardware vendors. Additionally, we intend to immediately pursue a strategic selling relationship with a large storage hardware vendor. At the present time, there are no definitive agreements in place.
Our original focus will be in the Denver, Colorado metropolitan area, but eventually plan to expand nationwide. However, we currently have no plans for expansion. At the present time, we have no active operations and are developing our business plan. At the present time, we have no plans to raise any additional funds within the next twelve months, other than those raised in our recent Offering. Any working capital will be expected to be generated from internal operations or from funds which may be loaned to us by Mr. Gibbs, our President. In the event that we need additional capital, Mr. Gibbs has agreed to loan such funds as may be necessary through December 31, 2015 for working capital purposes, although he is under no contractual obligation to do so. However, we reserve the right to examine possible additional sources of funds, including, but not limited to, equity or debt offerings, borrowings, or joint ventures. Limited market surveys have never been conducted to determine demand for our services. Therefore, there can be no assur-ance that any of its objectives will be achieved.
Our product is currently under development. We estimate that it will take until December 31, 2015 for our product to be completed. The development of this product is expected to cost approximately $75,000 over several years, with this amount being comprised entirely of software development and integration labor costs.
The finished computer appliance product will retail for $25,000 for the enterprise edition. We estimate that selling an average of one appliance product a quarter will result in profitability for the Company.
We have not been subject to any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding. Our address is 10790 Glengate Loop, Highlands Ranch, Colorado 80130. Our telephone number is (303) 862-6857.
Results of Operations
From our inception on October 15, 2007 through June 30, 2015, we have generated no revenue. As a result we have no operating history upon which to evaluate our intended business.
Operating expenses, which consisted solely of general and administrative expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2015, were $2,132. This compares with operating expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2014 of $1,572. The major components of general and administrative expenses include accounting fees, office expenses and stock transfer fees.
As a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of $6,177 for the three month period ended June 30, 2015. This compares with a net loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2014 of $11,716.
Operating expenses, which consisted solely of general and administrative expenses for the nine month period ended June 30, 2015, were $8,816. This compares with operating expenses for the nine month period ended June 30, 2014 of $8,367. The major components of general and administrative expenses include accounting fees, office expenses and stock transfer fees.
As a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of $22,983 for the nine month period ended June 30, 2015. This compares with a net loss for the nine month period ended June 30, 2014 of $25,192.
Because we do not pay salaries, and our major professional fees have been paid for the year, operating expenses are expected to remain fairly constant through the end of our fiscal year.
To try to operate at a break-even level based upon our current level of proposed business activity, we believe that we must generate approximately $25,000 in revenue per year. Each dollar of revenue is not directly tied to increasing costs. We believe that we can become profitable without incurring additional costs under our current operating cost structure. However, if our forecasts are inaccurate, we will need to raise additional funds. In the event that we need additional capital, we must seek funding, although we currently do not have any commitments for such funding.
On the other hand, if we decide that we cannot operate at a profit in our current configuration, we may choose to scale back our operations to operate at break-even with a smaller level of business activity, while adjusting our overhead to meet the revenue from current operations. In such event, we will probably not be profitable. In addition, we expect that we will need to raise additional funds if we decide to pursue more rapid expansion, the development of new or enhanced services or products, appropriate responses to competitive pressures, or the acquisition of complementary businesses or technologies, or if we must respond to unanticipated events that require us to make additional investments. We cannot assure that additional financing will be available when needed on favorable terms, or at all.
We expect to incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses and not generating sufficient revenues. We expect approximately $25,000 in operating costs over the next twelve months. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues or other funds in the future to cover these operating costs. Failure to generate sufficient revenues or additional financing when needed could cause us to go out of business.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
As of June 30, 2015, we had cash or cash equivalents of $240. As of September 30, 2014, we had cash or cash equivalents of $240.
Net cash used in operating activities was $0 for the nine month period ended June 30, 2015. This compares to net cash used in operating activities of $0 for the nine month period ended June 30, 2014.
Cash flows from investing activities were $-0- from our inception on October 15, 2007 through June 30, 2015.
Over the next twelve months we do not expect any material capital costs to develop operations.
As of June 30, 2015, our total assets were $240 and our total liabilities were $124,046. As of September 30, 2014, our total assets were $240, and our total liabilities were $108,263.
Our principal source of liquidity will be our operations. We expect variation in revenues to account for the difference between a profit and a loss. Also business activity is closely tied to the U.S. economy. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon our ability to successfully sell our data storage products and services in order to generate revenues.
Going Concern
In the course of its life the Company has had limited operations, and has a working capital deficit. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company believes it can raise capital through equity sales and borrowing to fund its marketing and operating activities. Management believes this will contribute toward its operations and subsequent profitability. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements with any party.

Our plan for the twelve months is to operate at a profit or at break even. Our plan is to attract sufficient additional product sales and services within our present organizational structure and resources to become profitable in our operations.
Our intended business will be to design and develop software and hardware based data storage appliance which will be known as "Enterprise Mass Storage Manager" (EMSM). This product can be utilized by any data intensive industry. We will utilize industry standard network communication protocols coupled with state of the art data deduplication technology in the development of the EMSM data storage appliance.
From our inception on October 15, 2007 through June 30, 2015, we have generated no revenue. The timing of the completion of the milestones needed to become profitable is not directly dependent on anything except our ability to develop sufficient revenues. We believe that we can achieve profitability as we are presently organized with sufficient business. Our principal cost will be marketing our product. At this point, we do not know the scope of our potential marketing costs but will use our existing resources to market our product.
If we are not successful in our operations we will be faced with several options:
1. | Cease operations and go out of business (which would mean closing the company and having the shareholders lose all or most of their investment); |
2. | Continue to seek alternative and acceptable sources of capital (our President and sole Director, Mr. Geoffrey Gibbs is currently our only source of financing. We would look to alternative sources, if available); |
3. | Bring in additional capital that may result in a change of control(if we seek additional sources of capital, all shareholders would potentially be diluted, perhaps to the point of a change of control); or |
4. | Identify a candidate for acquisition that seeks access to the public marketplace and its financing sources(we might explore potential acquisition candidates, although we have no such candidates at this time) |
Currently, we believe that we have sufficient capital to implement our proposed business operations or to sustain them through December 31, 2015. If we can become profitable, we could operate at our present level indefinitely. To date, we have never had any discussions with any possible acquisition candidate nor have we any intention of doing so.
Proposed Milestones to Implement Business Operations
Our plan is to make our operation profitable by December 31, 2015 by expanding the sales of our data storage product and consulting services.
We believe that we can be profitable or at break even by the end of the current fiscal year, assuming sufficient sales of our product and consulting services. Based upon our current plans, we have adjusted our operating expenses so that cash generated from operations and from working capital financing is expected to be sufficient for the foreseeable future to fund our operations at our currently forecasted levels. To try to operate at a break-even level based upon our current level of anticipated business activity, we believe that we must generate approximately $25,000 in revenue per year. However, if our forecasts are inaccurate, we may need to raise additional funds. On the other hand, we may choose to scale back our operations to operate at break-even with a smaller level of business activity, while adjusting our overhead to meet the revenue from current operations. In addition, we expect that we will need to raise additional funds if we decide to pursue more rapid expansion, the development of new or enhanced services and products, appropriate responses to competitive pressures, or the acquisition of complementary businesses or technologies, or if we must respond to unanticipated events that require us to make additional investments. We cannot assure that additional financing will be available when needed on favorable terms, or at all.
We expect to incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses and not generating sufficient revenues. We expect approximately $25,000 in operating costs over the next twelve months. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues or other funds in the future to cover these operating costs. Failure to generate sufficient revenues or additional financing when needed could cause us to go out of business
There is no assurance that additional funds will be made available to us on terms that will be acceptable, or at all, if and when needed. We expect to generate and increase sales, but there can be no assurance we will generate sales sufficient to continue operations or to expand.
We also are planning to rely on the possibility of referrals from clients and will strive to satisfy our clients. We believe that referrals will be an effective form of advertising because of the quality of service that we bring to clients. We believe that satisfied clients will bring more and repeat clients.
In the next 12 months, we do not intend to spend any material funds on research and development and do not intend to purchase any large equipment.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.
We do not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our net results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
Seasonality.
We do not expect our revenues to be impacted by seasonal demands for our services.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Not applicable.
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company's management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the 1934 Act) pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the 1934 Act. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports it files or submits under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis and that such information is communicated to management and the Company's board of directors to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on this evaluation, it has been concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective since the following material weaknesses exist:
| · | Since inception our chief executive officer also functions as our chief financial officer. As a result, our officers may not be able to identify errors and irregularities in the financial statements and reports. |
| · | We were unable to maintain full 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 material 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. |
| · | Documentation of all proper accounting procedures is not yet complete. |
To the extent reasonably possible given our limited resources, as financial resources become available we intend to take measures to cure the aforementioned weaknesses, including, but not limited to, the following:
| · | Increasing the capacity of our qualified financial personnel to ensure that accounting policies and procedures are consistent across the organization and that we have adequate control over financial statement disclosures. |
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
