PART I
Item 1. BUSINESS
Our Background
Profit Planners Management, Inc. was incorporated pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada on January 29, 2009.
Our Business
Over the past twelve months our operations have been focused on the following major business areas:
● | CFO, Accounting and Tax Services; | |
● | Insurance and Healthcare Insurance Services; | |
● | Advisory Consulting Services; | |
● | Management Services |
CFO, Accounting and Tax Services
Our CFO, Accounting and Financial Services division provides management, staffing, payroll, human resources, billing and tax services to our clients. We provide short-term engagements of outside management services to help companies complete certain transactions or restructurings. Additionally, we provide monthly accounting, payroll, tax and billing services to businesses that do not have those departments.
Clients are billed either on an hourly basis for the accounting and financial services we provide or under a monthly retainer, if the engagement is to be for an extended period of time. The hourly rates that we charge our clients for these services depends on the complexity of the work being done and the experience level of the persons assigned to the work.
3 |
Our CFO, Accounting and Tax Services division is currently our main revenue generator with more than 90% of our revenues coming from these services. In the future, we expect this percentage to go down as our other business divisions gain traction in the market place.
Insurance and Healthcare Insurance Services
Our Insurance and Healthcare Insurance division, Profit Planners Insurance Group, is a licensed insurance brokerage. We offer a wide array of insurance and insurance related products such as life insurance, annuities, health insurance, healthcare discount benefit cards and programs as well as self-funded health insurance accounts. Our Insurance and Healthcare Insurance division offers insurance services to our corporate clients as part of our consulting services. It also sells insurance products and services directly to individuals and companies that have not engaged us for other consulting services.
We receive commission from the insurance carrier based on the premium of the product being purchased.
As the operation has yet to generate any revenues, we are re-evaluating our approach.
Advisory Consulting Services
Our Advisory Consulting Services Practice, PPMT Strategic Group, supplies strategic and financial consulting services to companies looking to raise capital in the debt and equity markets. Our knowledge and access to experienced personnel can provide the planning, financial modeling and advice to middle market companies.
Clients are billed either on an hourly basis for these services we provide or under a monthly retainer, if the engagement is to be for an extended period of time. The hourly rates that we charge our clients for these services depends on the complexity of the work being done and the experience level of the persons assigned to the work.
Management Services
Our Management Services division provides budgeting and asset allocation and control advice to professional athletes, entertainers and other high earning individuals. According to a study conducted by ESPN, statistically 78% of all National Football League players are bankrupt, or are in financial difficulties within two years of their retirement from professional football. Other athletes in the National Basketball Association or Major League Baseball share the same financial issues. It seems clear that these high earning athletes are not receiving competent advice on how to budget their earnings and expenses to provide for their financial needs over the course of their lives.
The services that our Management Services division provides include reviewing a client’s current earnings and expenses and advising on what changes need to be made to create long-term financial stability. This advice may include drafting a budget for the client and showing how expenses can be cut or earnings increased. It may also include advising the client on the use of debt and mortgages to reduce the outflow of cash for long-term asset acquisitions. The main goal of our Management Services division is to create a solid long-term financial plan for these high earning individuals and to create the budgeting discipline needed for these clients to retire comfortably.
The Management Services that we provide are billed either on an hourly basis or under a monthly retainer depending on the length of the engagement. We may also generate revenue from the sale of insurance products to our Management Services clients if such products are needed as part of the long-term financial plan that has been created.

Growth and Profitability Strategy
Our objective is to increase our revenue, profitability and cash flow by offering our clients a wide array of essential services in a “one-stop-shopping” framework. By doing so we can simplify the logistics of our client’s purchases of these essential services, eliminate redundant services and streamline the business operations of our corporate clients.
Marketing
Our marketing focus depends on the business and consumer market. For our CFO, Accounting and Tax Services business, our marketing efforts are targeted at small to midsized companies that are known to, located or identified by our finders’ network. We also utilize our contacts with other professional service firms (law firms, investment bankers, venture capital firms and CPA audit firms) that provide services to the small and middle market sector for referrals of potential clients. We plan to expand and leverage our current clientele in our CFO, Accounting and Tax services group for potential leads and referrals. We also intend to explore alliances or potential acquisitions of small accounting, or other consulting firms, to access their customer lists so that we can expand our client base.
Although our target market has been on companies that have sales of less than $100 million and are based in North America, we plan to expand to larger companies as our consulting staff grows. We also focus our efforts on Private Equity and Investment Banking firms, who generally require the skill base we possess for some of their investments. Our industry focus is professional services and products related to our businesses. Although we focus on these industries we will look at opportunities in other industries if it makes economic sense.
Prior to the sale of our assets in our Organic Innovations business in May 2014, our marketing efforts for the Organically Crafted brand targeted the health conscious consumer regardless of age and for our the Golden Age Medical brand targeted the aging senior population and their support providers. Both brands were primarily focused on the North American consumer. We utilized e-mail campaigns, social media and promotional opportunities utilizing consumer lists and contacts.
We currently own and operate various web-sites, with the following being the more prominent ones:
● | www.profitplannersmgt.com | |
● | www.profitplannersinsurancegroup.com | |
● | www.ppmtgroup.com |
We use these web-sites as part of our marketing strategy. In addition, we work to expand our communications through various channels of social and business media that include our web-sites, other sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter, and through press releases and articles. We will continue to maintain all of our web-sites.
Our marketing costs for the year ended May 31, 2014 related to our continuing business operations were approximately $3,400. Ongoing marketing expenses consisted of e-mails, promotions and use of social media to communicate to potential customers. In prior quarters, development expenses of $33,685 were predominantly for the development of the Organically Crafted brand name, logo, web-site, relationships with suppliers. These expenses were related to the Organic Innovations business and are reflected as part of the discontinued operations on the financial statements.
We believe that these strategies will provide the best results given our limited marketing budget.

Competition
The CFO, Accounting and Tax service industry is highly competitive. There are many firms that provide services similar to ours in this market. Among the leaders are Tatum, LLC, B2B CFO and The CFO Connection. In addition, many of the mid-tiered public accounting firms typically provide many of the services that we offer. Among such firms are CBIZ, Inc. and CohnReznick. Many of these competitors are well established firms with dedicated and experienced staff.
Our Insurance and Healthcare Insurance Services division competes in an industry that is highly competitive both on the small scale and large scale. There are individual insurance agents that are affiliated with larger insurance firms that can offer a number of options to the customer. There are the larger firms that can cater to both small individual or corporate insurance needs.
Our Advisory Consulting Services practice competes in an industry that is highly competitive. Firms that compete in our CFO, Accounting and Tax group, would also compete here. In addition, banks, investment houses, and private equity groups maintain skilled staff in these areas to support these client’s needs.
Our Management Services division competes in an industry that is highly competitive. Sports agents, financial services firms, accounting firms and insurance companies all offer competing services and products to high earning entertainment and sports individuals.
Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, broader service lines and greater financial resources and advertising budgets than we do. Therefore, we anticipate substantial competition from other firms in our industries.
Employees
As of July 31, 2014, we had 8 employees. Our staff is available to be contracted out to clients who need our CFO, accounting, and other related services. For potential clients with larger projects, we have access to independent professionals who are available to provide services to such clients of the company on a sub-contracting basis. Eventually, we intend to employ sufficient personnel that such sub-contracting relationships will not be necessary. We believe our future success depends in large part upon the continued service of our CEO, Wesley Ramjeet.
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider each of the risks described below, together with all of the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this Annual Report. If any of the following risks develop into actual events, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected and the trading prices of our common stock could decline.

Risks Relating to the Company.
Risks Related to Our Business
We Have A Limited Operating History That You Can Use To Evaluate Us, And The Likelihood Of Our Success Must Be Considered In Light Of The Problems, Expenses, Difficulties, Complications And Delays Frequently Encountered By A Small Developing Company. There Is No Assurance Our Future Operations Will Result In Profitable Revenues. If We Cannot Generate Sufficient Revenues To Operate Profitably, We Will Cease Operations.
We were incorporated in Nevada in January 2009. We have no significant financial assets and although revenue has grown over the five year period, it is still not at a level to be fully self-sufficient. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered by a small developing company in a highly competitive environment in which we will operate. Since we have a limited operating history, we cannot assure you that our business will be profitable or that we will ever generate sufficient revenues to meet our expenses and support and grow our anticipated activities.
Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon:
● | our ability to identify and pursue mediums through which we will be able to market our products and services; | |
● | our ability to attract and retain customers; | |
● | our ability to generate revenues through sales of products and services; and | |
● | our ability to manage growth by managing administrative overhead. |
Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses and generating limited revenues. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating revenues in the future. Our failure to generate increased revenues in a timely manner would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
We Will Require Financing To Achieve Our Current Business Strategy And Our Inability To Obtain Such Financing Could Prohibit Us From Executing Our Business Plan And Cause Us To Slow Down Our Expansion or Cease Our Operations.
We will seek to raise a minimum of $500,000 over the next twelve months, through either the private issuance of debt or the sale of equity, to finance the growth of our business and to execute our marketing plan. Such financing may not be available as needed. Even if such financing is available, it may be on terms that are materially adverse to your interests with respect to dilution of book value, dividend preferences, liquidation preferences, or other terms. If we are unable to obtain this financing on reasonable terms, we would be unable to hire the additional employees needed to grow our business and we would be forced to delay or scale back our plans for expansion. Over an extended period, our failure to raise financing to grow our business could force us to cease operations.
Managing Growth and Expansion.
We continue to grow our business through business development, marketing and sales efforts. In 2014, we had a set back as revenues declined by twenty percent due to the loss of a couple of significant clients. We have instituted new processes that will hopefully mitigate the effect of such losses in the future and help us focus on growth. If such growth does occur, the resulting strain on our managerial, operational, financial and other resources could be significant. Success in managing this expansion and growth will depend, in part, upon the ability of senior management to manage and hire temporary or permanent personnel cost effectively. Any failure to manage the anticipated growth and expansion could have a material adverse effect on our business.
7 |
We Face Intense Competition And Our Inability To Successfully Compete With Our Competitors Will Have A Material Adverse Effect On Our Results Of Operation.
The industries in which we operate are highly competitive. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, broader service lines and greater financial resources and advertising budgets than we do. Many of our competitors offer similar services or alternatives to our services. There can be no assurance that we will procure a customer base to support the products and services we offer or allow us to seek expansion. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively in this marketplace.
If We Do Not Attract Customers On Cost-Effective Terms, We Will Not Make A Profit, Which Ultimately Will Result In A Cessation Of Operations.
Our success depends on our ability to attract customers on cost-effective terms. If we are unsuccessful at attracting a sufficient number of clients, our ability to get repeat customers and our financial condition will be harmed.
If We Do Not Make A Profit, We May Have To Suspend Or Cease Operations.
Because we are small and do not have much capital, we will not be able to finance our operations for an extended period if we do not make a profit. Unless we are able to raise additional financing, we will be limiting our marketing activities over the next twelve months. Since our services are contingent on providing human resources to clients, we need the ability to hire individuals that are capable of providing such services. If we cannot supply the personnel, we may not be able to gain or retain the client. In a competitive market place, hiring permanent or temporary personnel can be costly. As a result, we may not be able to attract enough customers for our services and products to operate profitably. If we cannot operate profitably, we may have to suspend or cease our operations.
We rely on the services of Wesley Ramjeet, our CEO, to provide consulting services to our clients and to define our marketing strategy and the overall strategic direction of our company. The loss of Mr. Ramjeet’s services would negatively affect our operations and harm our business.
Our future success depends in large part on the continued service of our Chief Executive Officer, Wesley Ramjeet. The consulting services provided by Mr. Ramjeet to our clients currently accounts for the majority of our revenues. Mr. Ramjeet also provides the marketing strategies, services and product development planning and overall strategic direction for the Company. We have an exclusive employment agreement with Mr. Ramjeet for an initial term of three years, under which Mr. Ramjeet will continue to be our CEO and President. This agreement also contains a provision prohibiting Mr. Ramjeet from competing with us. We do not currently have a key-man life insurance policy on Mr. Ramjeet. The loss of Mr. Ramjeet’s services for any reason would have an adverse effect on our business.
There Is Substantial Uncertainty That We Will Be Able to Continue Operations.
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty about our ability to continue in business. As such, we may have to cease operations within the next twelve months.
Mr. Ramjeet Has Effective Control of the Company's Affairs
As of July 31, 2014, Mr. Ramjeet beneficially owned 30,202,000 shares of common stock of the Company, representing approximately 55.88% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock and approximately 55.88% of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. In the election of directors, stockholders are not entitled to cumulate their votes for nominees. Accordingly, as a practical matter, Mr. Ramjeet will be able to elect all of the Company's directors and otherwise direct the affairs of the Company.
8 |
Indemnification of Officers and Directors
The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide for the indemnification of our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada. It is possible that the indemnification obligations imposed under these provisions could result in a charge against the Company's earnings and thereby affect the availability of funds for other uses by the Company.
Risks Relating To Our Common Stock
There is not now, and there may not ever be, an active market for our shares of common stock.
There can be no assurance that an active market for our common stock will develop. If an active public market for our common stock does not develop, shareholders may not be able to re-sell the shares of our common stock that they own and may lose all of their investment.
A significant amount of common stock is currently restricted.
Of the common stock presently issued and outstanding, a significant amount is restricted from trading. Should such restriction expire or be removed and the stockholders sell in the public market, the market price can potentially fluctuate and if the common stock is sold below the current market price, decline.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.
Should an active public market develop and our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, shares sold at a price below the current market price at which the common stock is trading will cause that market price to decline. Moreover, the offer or sale of a large number of shares at any price may cause the market price to fall. These sales also may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.
Additional stock offerings may dilute current stockholders.
Given our plans and our expectation that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of capital stock or securities convertible or exercisable for shares of capital stock, including preferred stock, options or warrants. The issuance of additional capital stock may dilute the ownership of our current stockholders.
Our Common Stock will be subject to the "Penny Stock" rules of the SEC.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
● | that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and | |
● | the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. |
9 |
In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
● | obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and | |
● | make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. |
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
● | sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and | |
● | that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. |
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if its stock price appreciates.
FINRA Sales Practice Requirements May Limit A Stockholder's Ability To Buy And Sell Our Stock.
FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity and liquidity of our common stock. Further, many brokers charge higher transactional fees for penny stock transactions. As a result, fewer broker-dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, reducing a stockholder's ability to resell shares of our common stock.
10 |
Item 2. PROPERTIES
Our executive, administrative and operating offices are located at 350 Madison Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10017. We currently rent our office space on a month-to-month basis and our monthly rent is approximately $2,596 per month. We believe that our current office space will be sufficient for our needs for the foreseeable future.
We consolidated our offices in Florida into one office where our monthly rent is approximately $630 per month. The office is rented under a short-term lease.
We have no policies with respect to investments in real estate or interests in real estate, real estate mortgages, or securities of or interests in persons primarily engaged in real estate activities.
Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no legal proceedings pending or threatened against us in the United States or elsewhere.

Holders of Our Common Stock
As of July 31, 2014, we had sixteen (16) shareholders of record of our common stock.
In May 2011 the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Orchid Island Capital Partners LP (“Orchid”) whereby Orchid agreed to purchase from the Company 1,111,112 restricted shares of common stock for $100,000. As of July 31, 2014, the company has received and accepted the $71,666 of the $100,000 as payment in full for the 1,111,112 shares.
11 |
As of July 31, 2014, we had 54,052,788 shares of common stock outstanding. Of those shares, 35,002,000 shares, or 64.76% percent of our outstanding common stock, were owned by our officers and directors.
Stock Option Grants
As of July 31, 2014 we had not granted any stock options.
Description of Our Capital Stock
General
Our authorized capital stock consists of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. There are no provisions in our charter or by-laws that would delay, defer or prevent a change in our control.
Common Stock
As of July 31, 2014, we had 54,052,788 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
The holders of our common stock have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available if and when declared by our board of directors and are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs. Our common stock does not provide the right to a preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights. Our common stock holders are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which shareholders may vote.
All shares of common stock now outstanding are fully paid for and non-assessable. We refer you to our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and the applicable statutes of the State of Nevada for a more complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders of our securities. All material terms of our common stock have been addressed in this section.
Holders of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors.
Preferred Stock
As of July 31, 2014, we had not designated any series or class of preferred stock and no shares of preferred stock were issued or outstanding.
Dividends
We have not paid any cash dividends to shareholders. The declaration of any future cash dividends is at the discretion of our board of directors and depends upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.
12 |
Warrants
There are no outstanding warrants to purchase our securities.
Options,
There are no options to purchase our securities outstanding.
Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Our shares are currently covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 promulgated thereunder, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Rule 15g-2 declares unlawful any broker-dealer transactions in penny stocks unless the broker-dealer has first provided to the customer a standardized disclosure document. Rule 15g-3 provides that it is unlawful for a broker-dealer to engage in a penny stock transaction unless the broker-dealer first discloses and subsequently confirms to the customer the current quotation prices or similar market information concerning the penny stock in question. Rule 15g-4 prohibits broker-dealers from completing penny stock transactions for a customer unless the broker-dealer first discloses to the customer the amount of compensation or other remuneration received as a result of the penny stock transaction. Rule 15g-5 requires that a broker dealer executing a penny stock transaction, other than one exempt under Rule 15g-1, disclose to its customer, at the time of or prior to the transaction, information about the sales persons compensation.
Our common stock may remain subject to the foregoing rules for the foreseeable future. The application of the penny stock rules may affect our stockholder’s ability to sell their shares because some broker/dealers may not be willing to make a market in our common stock because of the burdens imposed upon them by the penny stock rules.
Item 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
Not applicable.
Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Introduction
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our accompanying financial statements and the notes to those financial statements included in this filing. The following discussion includes forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this filing.
Operation
We are a Nevada Corporation founded in January 2009 with offices in New York and Florida.
Over the past twelve months our operations have been focused on the following major business areas:
● | CFO, Accounting and Tax Services; | |
● | Insurance and Healthcare Insurance Services; | |
● | Advisory Consulting Services; | |
● | Management Services |
13 |
Our CFO, Accounting and Tax Services division is currently our main revenue generator with more than 90% of our revenues coming from these services. These services consist of financial statement preparation assistance, tax preparation, accounting and bookkeeping services and other accounting advisory and consulting services. In the future, we expect the growth of the other businesses and their revenues streams to reduce the effect of this business on earnings.
Our Insurance and Healthcare Insurance Services has not generated any revenues at the present time. The insurance market is very competitive. We have been discussing strategic options and personnel decisions to determine the best markets and products that will differentiate our business. In the coming year we will evaluate these options and determine our approach.
Our Advisory Consulting Services Practice, PPMT Strategic Group, supplies strategic and financial consulting services to companies looking to raise capital in the debt and equity markets. Our knowledge and access to experienced personnel can provide the planning, financial modeling and advice to middle market companies.
Our Management Services business caters to the financial management needs of sports and entertainment professionals. Although presently the operation is small, we intend to grow this portion of our business. Over the past year we have had difficulties in acquiring new clientele and will reassess the value of adding additional resources to determine if we need to redesign our business strategy in this area.
Critical Accounting Policies
Going concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared under a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has incurred operating losses from inception through the period ended May 31, 2014. The Company has had a net loss and comprehensive loss from continuing operations of $495,450 and $102,412 for the years ended May 31, 2014 and May 31, 2013, respectively; and an accumulated deficit of $681,333 at May 31, 2014. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that the actions presently being taken and the success of future operations will be sufficient to enable the Company to continue as a going concern. These actions include continuing to grow the Company’s revenues sufficient to support its cost structure through existing and new clients and is actively seeking channels to develop business. We also will seek financing where available at a reasonable cost. In August 2013, the Company obtained $70,500 through private placement offerings. During 2014 the Company intends to continue to seek financing for the purpose of funding operating expenses using equity or debt instruments through additional private placement offerings.
However, there can be no assurance that the actions taken and raising of equity will be successful or that the Company’s anticipated financing will be available in the future, at terms satisfactory to the Company. Failure to achieve the equity and financing at satisfactory terms and amounts could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
14 |
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable represents open invoices from customers. The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and considers the need to record or adjust an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical collection experience and specific customer information. Actual amounts could vary from the recorded estimates. The Company has determined that as of the year ended May 31, 2014, an allowance for doubtful accounts of $19,795 was required as a result of the Company believing certain receivables for consulting services will no longer be collected either fully or partially. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014, we had to write off delinquent receivables as a result of non-payment and have reflected bad debt expense of $61,544 for the year. The Company does not require collateral to support customer receivables.
Revenue recognition
The Company’s revenues from continuing operations are derived from management, financial and accounting advisory services. The Company will recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when it has persuasive evidence of an arrangement that the services have been rendered to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
In May 2014, we sold assets related to the online operations of our Organic Innovations subsidiary. Product sales for these discontinued operations, represent revenue from the sale of products and related shipping fees and followed the same revenue recognition policy. Product sales and shipping revenues, net of promotional discounts, rebates, and return allowances, are recorded when the products are shipped and title passes to customers. Return allowances, which reduce revenue, are estimated using historical experience. Revenue from product sales is recorded net of sales taxes. Discount offers, when accepted by our customers, are treated as a reduction to sales revenues.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the Year Ended May 31, 2014
Continuing operations
For the year ended May 31, 2014, we had revenues of $710,229, which was approximately a twenty percent decline from revenues in the prior year. Cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $1,205,679, which was approximately twenty percent higher than the prior year as a result of an increase in compensation expense to corporate management. The net result was a net loss from continuing operations of $495,450 for the year ended May 31, 2014.
Consulting service income for the year ended May 31, 2014 consisted of CFO, Accounting and Tax Services of $658,588 and Management Services of $51,641. The decline in revenues from the prior year’s revenues totaling $843,172 was primarily due to the loss of two significant customer accounts partially offset by the addition of some smaller new clients. Other changes in service income from the prior year are attributable to changes in the client base and the completion of non-recurring projects. As clients grow or change, certain functional responsibilities are brought in-house and our services are no longer necessary.
15 |
Cost of revenues for the year ended May 31, 2014 totaled $544,955 and was comprised of salaries and compensation expenses of $478,095 and other overhead expenses of $66,860. These costs are directly attributable to work performed on the client accounts by any employee in the organization and include costs for outside temporary consultants, office needs and other overhead expenses. Costs for the period are comparable to the prior year but the mix is slightly different. Some reductions in internal staffing costs are offset by additional costs resulting from the use of outside consultants to meet the needs of the business.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended May 31, 2014 was $660,724, comprised of net compensation expense for corporate management of $359,113, consulting and professional expenses of $81,574, rent expense of $57,760, bad debt expense of $61,544, travel-related expenses of $24,909, computer related expenses of $19,484, office supplies and filing fees of $16,707, corporate communications of $8,909, and other expenses of $30,724. Compensation expenses include the apportioned salaries, benefits and any performance incentive compensation expenses. A special incentive bonus of $130,000 was accrued at the end of the year for the performance of one of the employees. The Consulting and professional expenses are primarily costs for accountants, lawyers and administrative consultants. During fiscal year 2014, certain former customers have had difficulty in meeting their obligations to us and we have written those receivables that we deemed uncollectible to expense while maintaining an allowance against our accounts receivables for those we continue to pursue collection for our services.
Discontinued operations
For the year ended May 31, 2014, the Organic Innovations business had product sales of $32,115, cost of revenue of $24,762, development expense of $33,685, and other operating expense of $1,321 for a net loss of $27,651. The development expenses for the Organic Innovation e-commerce platform to sell “organic” products consisted of salaries and compensation of $12,250, consulting and professional fees of $18,000 and other web-development expenses of $3,435. Activity in the Organic Innovation business did not begin until the first fiscal quarter of 2014.
In February 2014, management reached a decision to sell the assets of its Organic Innovations Inc. business. Organic Innovations, Inc. consists primarily of two e-commerce platforms and websites branded under the “Golden Age Medical” and “Organically Crafted” names. The Golden Age Medical brand website provides for the growing demand from consumers for health related products for the aging population. Organically Crafted website offers “organic” and health-care related products and potential services to the consumer by creating a consumer friendly on-line experience.
On May 9, 2014, the Company completed the sale of assets of its Organic Innovations subsidiary to a third party pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement between the parties dated as of May 7, 2014 for an aggregate purchase price of $115,000. The assets consisted of three domain names, trademarks, websites and customer lists and had a carrying value of $7,227. The purchase price was paid in two instalments of cash $4,500 on May 9, 2014 and $13,500 in cash on May 31, 2014, the assumption of a Company obligation to the CEO for $25,000 and a promissory note for $72,000 carrying an interest rate of 8% per annum that matures on May 6, 2015. The sale of these assets resulted in a gain of $107,773.

For the year ended May 31, 2013
Continuing operations
For the year ended May 31, 2013, we had revenue of $843,172. Cost of revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $945,584 which resulted in a net loss from continuing operations of $102,412 for the year ended May 31, 2013.
Consulting service income for the year ended May 31, 2013 consisted of CFO, Accounting and Tax Services of $747,172 and Management Services of $96,000. The CFO, Accounting and Tax Services revenues were concentrated primarily in a few very large client accounts. The Management Services revenue was from two client accounts.
Cost of revenues for the year ended May 31, 2013 totaled $552,348 and was comprised of salaries and compensation expenses of $494,664 and other overhead expenses of $57,684. These costs are directly attributable to work performed on the client accounts by any employee in the organization and include costs for outside temporary consultants, office needs and other overhead expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended May 31, 2013 was $393,236, comprised of net compensation expense for corporate management of $105,129, consulting and professional expenses of $67,657, rent expense of $45,569, bad debt expense of $0, travel-related expenses of $27,225, computer related expenses of $26,028, office supplies and filing fees of $34,404, corporate communications of $47,551, and other expenses of $39,673. Compensation expenses include the apportioned salaries, benefits and any performance incentive compensation expenses. Consulting and professional expenses are primarily costs for accountants, lawyers and administrative consultants. Our corporate communication expense was related to our engagement with a consultant to provide corporate communication that we terminated shortly after the fiscal year ended.
Discontinued operations
There were no discontinued operations in the year ended May 31, 2014.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of May 31, 2014, we had cash of $39,982 as compared to cash of $127,984 as of May 31, 2013. The decrease in net cash of $88,002 was the result of net cash used in operating activities totaling $147,957, used in investing activities totaling $10,545 and provided by financing activities totaling $70,500 for the year ended May 31, 2014.
For the year ended May 31, 2014, net cash used in operating activities was attributable to a net loss of $415,328, non-cash adjustments for depreciation expense of $6,013, stock compensation expense of $54,249 and a significant portion of the gain from the sale of assets from discontinued operations of $107,773, and a net increase from the change in operating assets and liabilities of $314,881. Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended May 31, 2014 resulted from $70,500 received for 2,350,000 restricted shares of common stock purchased through private placement.
17 |
For the year ended May 31, 2013, the Company increased cash of $47,447 was the result of $51,819 provided by operating activities, $9,372 used in investing activities and $5,000 provided by financing activities.
In order for us to execute our business plan we will need to raise at least $500,000 in debt or equity. The funds are needed for building out the management team, sales and marketing and working capital. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the funds needed to execute our business plan.
If we are unable to satisfy our cash requirements we may be unable to proceed with our plan of operations. We do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any significant equipment. The foregoing represents our best estimate of our cash needs based on current planning and business conditions. In the event we are not successful in reaching our initial revenue targets, additional funds may be required, and we may not be able to proceed with our business plan for the development and marketing of our core services. Should this occur, we will suspend or cease operations.
We anticipate that depending on market conditions and our plan of operations, we may incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. Therefore, our auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act.
Internal control over financial reporting is defined under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our CEO and CFO and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
● | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; |
● | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and |
● | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
18 |
Because of its inherent limitation, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluations 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 and procedures may deteriorate. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control over financial reporting will provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation.
Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2014. Based on this evaluation and those criteria, our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, concluded that, as of May 31, 2014, such controls and procedures were effective and there is no material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding our internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the year.

Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Nevada law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

In discharging its oversight responsibility as to the audit process, commencing with the engagement of Coulter & Justus, P.C., the Board obtained from the independent auditors a formal written statement describing all relationships between the auditors and the Company that might bear on the auditors’ independence as required by applicable accounting standards. The Board discussed with the auditors any relationships that may impact their objectivity and independence, including fees for non-audit services, and satisfied itself as to the auditors’ independence.
The Board discussed and reviewed with the independent auditors all matters required to be discussed by auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, including those described in the appropriate Statement(s) on Auditing Standards.
The Board reviewed the audited financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended May 31, 2014 and May 31, 2013 with management and the independent auditors. Management has the sole ultimate responsibility for the preparation of the Company’s financial statements and the independent auditors have the responsibility for their examination of those statements.
Based on the above-mentioned review and discussions with the independent auditors and management, the Board of Directors approved the Company’s audited financial statements and recommended that they be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2014 for filing with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company’s principal accountant did not engage any other persons or firms other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Profit Planners Management, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Profit Planners Management, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of May 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended May 31, 2014. The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Profit Planners Management, Inc. and subsidiaries as of May 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended May 31, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has recurring losses from operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Profit Planners Management, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
Profit Planners Management, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on January 29, 2009 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company derives revenue from management, tax, financial and accounting advisory services mainly through consulting agreements.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Organic Innovations, Inc. (Note 4), Profit Planners Insurance Group, Inc. (formerly Twin Peaks Benefits Plus, Inc.), Profit Management, Inc., Enertel Plus, Inc. and PPMT Strategic Group, Inc. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment consisted of computer equipment, which is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method based on an estimated useful life of three years. Depreciation expense from continuing operations totaled $4,345 and $2,257 for the years ended May 31, 2014, and May 31, 2013, respectively. Depreciation expense for discontinued operations totaled $1,668 and $0 for the years ended May 31, 2014, and May 31, 2013, respectively.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When an asset is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and associated accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations.
Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable represent trade obligations from customers that are subject to normal trade collection terms, without discounts. The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and considers the need to record or adjust an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical collection experience and specific customer information. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and credit to accounts receivable. Actual amounts could vary from the recorded estimates. The Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $19,795 and $0, for the years ended May 31, 2014 and May 31, 2013, respectively. The Company does not require collateral to support customer receivables. Three customers accounted for 58% and 60% of accounts receivable as of May 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Changes in estimates for the allowance for doubtful accounts are made in the period in which such circumstances become known. In 2014, the Company changed its estimates based on current information which resulted in an increase to the net loss by $16,445 that would have been reflected in the year ended May 31, 2013 had that information been available at the time.
F-7 |
Revenue recognition
The Company’s revenues are derived from management, financial and accounting advisory services. The Company will recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. Product sales from the Company’s Organic Innovations subsidiary’s e-commerce sites are reflected in discontinued operations. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when it has persuasive evidence of an arrangement that the services have been rendered to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company’s three largest customers accounted for 46% and 62% of revenue for the years ended May 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue represents revenues collected but not earned as of May 31, 2014 and May 31, 2013, respectively. This is primarily composed of revenue for service contracts where payments are made in advance of services being rendered.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.
Income taxes
The amount provided for income taxes is based upon the amounts of current and deferred taxes payable or refundable at the date of the financial statements as a result of all events recognized in the financial statements as measured by the provisions of enacted tax laws.
The Company evaluates its uncertain tax positions and a loss would be recognized when it is probable that a liability has been incurred as of the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The amount that would be recognized is subject to estimate and management’s assessment of relevant risks, facts and circumstances for each uncertain tax position. To the extent the Company’s assessment of such tax positions changes, the change in estimate is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. The Company reports any tax-related interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. The Company is subject to federal and state income taxes in which the Company operates. Tax years subject to examination by federal and state jurisdictions include 2010 and after.
Net income (loss) per common share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period. There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding as of May 31, 2014. There were 314,814 potentially dilutive shares outstanding as of May 31, 2013. Due to the loss for the periods presented, the shares are not included in the calculation as they would be anti-dilutive.
F-8 |
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior period presented have been reclassified to conform to the current period classification. These reclassifications have no effect on the previously reported net loss.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09: Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard outlines a five-step model for revenue recognition with the core principle being that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers control of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Companies can choose to apply the standard using either the full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach. Under the modified approach, financial statements will be prepared for the year of adoption using the new standard but prior periods presented will not be adjusted. Instead, companies will recognize a cumulative catch-up adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company has not yet made a determination been made as to the method of application (full retrospective or modified retrospective). It is too early to assess whether the impact of the adoption of this new guidance will have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying audited financial statements, the Company has had a net loss and comprehensive loss from continuing operations of $495,450 and $102,412 for the years ended May 31, 2014 and May 31, 2013, respectively; and an accumulated deficit of $681,333 at May 31, 2014. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that the actions presently being taken and the success of future operations will be sufficient to enable the Company to continue as a going concern. These actions include continuing to grow the Company’s revenues to sufficiently support its cost structure through existing and new clients while actively seeking channels to develop business. In August 2013, the Company obtained $70,500 through private placement offerings. Management may seek additional financing using equity or debt instruments in the future through additional private placement offerings.
There can be no assurance that the actions taken and raising of equity will be successful or that the Company’s anticipated financing will be available in the future, at terms satisfactory to the Company. Failure to achieve the equity and financing at satisfactory terms and amounts could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 4 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
As of February 28, 2014 the Company reached a decision to sell the assets of its Organic Innovations business. The assets consist of three domain names, trademarks, websites and customer lists. The domain names were purchased from third parties and a related party (Note 5) in October 2013 and have a carrying value of $7,227 as of February 28, 2014. The other assets were internally developed and have no carrying value. Cash flows from the business arise primarily from the gross margin of the products and working capital timing.
F-9 |
On May 9, 2014, the Company completed the sale of assets of its Organic Innovations subsidiary to a third party pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement between the parties dated as of May 7, 2014 for an aggregate purchase price of $115,000. The purchase price was paid in installments of cash of $4,500 on May 9, 2014 and $13,500 on May 31, 2014, the assumption of a Company obligation to the CEO for $25,000 and a promissory note for $72,000 carrying an interest rate of 8% per annum that matures on May 6, 2015.
Product sales represent revenue from the sale of products and related shipping fees. Product sales and shipping revenues, net of promotional discounts, rebates, and return allowances, are recorded when the products are shipped and title passes to customers. Return allowances, which reduce revenue, are estimated using historical experience. Revenue from product sales is recorded net of sales taxes. Current discount offers, when accepted by our customers, are treated as a reduction to sales revenues.
The following table summarized the results of the Organic Innovations business for the year ended May 31, 2014:
Year Ended May 31, 2014 | ||||
Net product sales | $ | 32,115 | ||
Cost of sales | (24,762 | ) | ||
Other operating expenses | (35,004 | ) | ||
Loss from discontinued operations | (27,651 | ) | ||
Gain on sale of discontinued operations | 107,773 | |||
Net income from discontinued operations | $ | 80,122 | ||
Cash flows from discontinued operations | $ | (27,651 | ) |
As the Company is in a net operating loss position, any taxable income generated by net income of the discontinued operations and the gain on the sale of assets would be offset by the losses incurred (Note 6).
NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company had revenues totaling $6,925 and $0 reflected in the financial statements for the years ended May 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, related to an affiliated company for which the Company’s CEO has a controlling interest.
On October 1, 2013 the Company purchased for $4,000, a domain name and site from Golden Age Medical Inc., a company owned by the CEO. This asset was subsequently sold as part of the Organic Innovations Inc. asset sale (Note 4).
The Company had accrued officer’s compensation expense payable to the CEO, who has a controlling ownership interest in the Company. The compensation obligations owed to the CEO totaled $373,925 and $218,641 for the years ended May 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
F-10 |
The Company had accrued compensation expense payable to a Director of the Company for providing legal counsel services for $1,000 per month. The compensation obligations owed to the Director totaled $16,000 and $4,000 for the years ended May 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES
The Company has Federal net operating loss carryovers available to offset future taxable income as follows:
Year Generated | Year of Expiration | Amount | ||||
2010 | 2030 | $ | 1,904 | |||
2011 | 2031 | 93,122 | ||||
2012 | 2032 | 53,830 | ||||
2014 | 2034 | 125,008 | ||||
$ | 273,864 |
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
Components of the Company’s deferred tax asset are as follows as of May 31:
2014 | 2013 | |||||||
Deferred tax asset – net operating loss carryovers | $ | 41,080 | $ | 17,819 | ||||
Deferred tax asset—accrued expenses | 73,823 | 22,082 | ||||||
Valuation allowance | (114,903 | ) | (39,901 | ) | ||||
Net deferred tax asset | $ | - | $ | - |
The Company periodically evaluates whether it is more likely than not that it will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred income tax asset. The ultimate realization of this asset is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income sufficient to offset the related deductions. At the present time, management cannot presently determine when the Company will be able to generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax asset; accordingly, a valuation allowance has been established to offset the asset. The net change in valuation allowance was an increase of $75,002 and $7,427 in 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The reconciliation of income tax benefit attributable to continuing operations computed at the U.S. federal statutory tax rates to the income tax benefit recorded is as follows:
Year Ended May 31, | ||||||||
2014 | 2013 | |||||||
Income tax at U.S. statutory rate of 15% | $ | (62,299 | ) | $ | (15,363 | ) | ||
Increase in valuation allowance | 62,299 | 15,363 | ||||||
Income tax benefit | $ | - | $ | - |
NOTE 7 – SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
In May 2011, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Orchid Island Capital Partners LP (“Orchid”) whereby Orchid agreed to purchase 1,111,112 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock for $100,000. As of May 31, 2014, the Company had distributed all of the shares but had only received $71,667 of the $100,000 by subscription agreement through the private placement. The Company, unable to collect the remaining $28,333 due as of May 31, 2014, has written off this receivable as a reduction to paid-in-capital.
F-11 |
NOTE 8 – LEASES

NOTE 9 – EQUITY
On November 18, 2011, Profit Planners Management, Inc. entered into an agreement with a consultant. The agreement had an initial term of three (3) years. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid the consultant a fee of $10,000 per month and agreed to grant 300,000 total shares of restricted common stock. The shares vested over the term of the agreement at the rate of 100,000 shares per year. In connection with the consulting agreement, the Company recognized stock compensation expense of $0 in 2014 and $10,884 in 2013. The fair value of the grants noted above was determined by the most recent trade price of the common stock at the grant date. This agreement was terminated in May 2013.
On June 10, 2013, the Company issued 325,000 restricted shares of Company common stock, valued at $29,250, to employees and advisors of the Company as a discretionary bonus approved by the Board of Directors. The value of the common stock was based on the most recent trade price of a common share on the date of issuance. The amounts are reflected as salary and consulting expenses in the consolidated financial statements.
Effective July 1, 2013, the Company entered into a six-month services agreement with a consultant for performance of CFO and similar services. Under the agreement, approved by the parties and the Company’s Board of Directors on August 2, 2013, the consultant will be compensated through the issuance of 500,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $25,000. The value of the common stock was based on the most recent trade price of a common share on August 2, 2013. The value of the stock issued was recognized as consulting expenses over the contract period as services were rendered and reflected in cost of sales and operating expenses.
On August 7, 2013, the Company entered into agreements with accredited investors whereby the Company issued 2,350,000 shares of common stock at a price of $.03 per share for total proceeds of $70,500.
NOTE 10 – CONTINGENT EMPLOYEE BONUS
On January 1, 2013, the Company entered into a compensation agreement with an employee that provides for a bonus based upon certain performance requirements. Since inception of the compensation agreement, management has evaluated the results of the employee’s performance and determined that the likelihood of payment would be remote as the employee did not meet the minimum performance requirements.
The employee and management are in negotiations to finalize the previous and future compensation, however, management estimates that it is probable the Company will settle with the employee for a $130,000 bonus for past services.
As a result of the expected settlement, the Company expensed $130,000 during 2014 in conjunction with the bonus. No amounts have been paid out related to the bonus as of May 31, 2014.
