RAINBOW CORAL CORP. (the “Company”), a Florida corporation, was formed to build a coral farm facility to develop and propagate (or grow) live coral, independent of the oceans, as a future farm reserve against the decline of natural wild reefs. We intend to grow, harvest, and distribute as many varieties of hard and soft sizes as possible of captive-bred corals that are attractive, to as many consumers as possible who can maintain them in a healthy ecosystem aquarium. We believe that coral and other marine aquarium livestock should be supplied by farms or captive breeders, rather than removed from the natural reefs. The additional uses for coral as a source of potential leading edge medical discoveries are an attractive opportunity for the Company’s coral farming activity. We believe that the world of bioresearch is a natural continuation of our core coral propagation business. Accordingly, on October 23, 2011, the Company formed a subsidiary, Rainbow Biosciences, LLC to look into the opportunities within the bioscience market. Rainbow Biosciences, LLC will continue to research opportunities into the bioscience markets.
The Company was incorporated on August 13, 2010 with its corporate headquarters located in Miramar Beach, Florida. The Company’s fiscal year end is March 31.
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make certain estimates and apply judgments. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends, and other factors that management believes to be important at the time the cconsolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review our accounting policies and how they are applied and disclosed in our consolidated financial statements.
While we believe that the historical experience, current trends and other factors considered support the preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, actual results could differ from our estimates and such differences could be material.
For a full description of our critical accounting policies, please refer to Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report for the year ended March 31, 2014 on Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of December 31, 2014. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
| | |
| 1. | As of December 31, 2014, we did not maintain effective controls over the control environment. Specifically we have not developed and effectively communicated to our employees our accounting policies and procedures. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness. |
| | |
| 2. | As of December 31, 2014, we did not maintain effective controls over financial statement disclosure. Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness. |
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, who is the same person, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
Change in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
