Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss available to common stockholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.
The most important metric by which we judge the Company’s performance now and in the near term is generating revenues on the top line and sales growth. Our current commitment to develop and deliver quality products means that, for the near future, bottom line profitability will be a poor indicator of our success.
Since investors are certain to be the primary, near term source of liquidity to support our development and marketing efforts, our liquidity will be driven by our ability to attract repeat investments from current shareholders and to find new ones. All investors must fully understand that an investment in our company is of high risk and they can lose their total invested capital.
Our primary marketing challenge for the coming twelve (12) months is to implement and “go live” with our initial networking applications to achieve market awareness and acceptance. Additionally, management is seeking new acquisitions to complement existing products.
These forward-looking statements, pertaining to revenues, are based on our management’s current expectations and beliefs and involve numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. You should not rely upon these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events because we cannot assure you that the events or circumstances reflected in these statements will be achieved or will occur. As our revenues commence, we plan to invest in marketing and sales by increasing the number of direct sales throughout our web portal to build brand awareness. We expect that in the future, marketing and sales expenses will increase in absolute dollars commencing in the fourth quarter of 2015. We do not expect our revenues to increase significantly until first quarter of 2017.
We expect that general and administrative expenses associated with executive compensation will substantially increase in the future as our products commence their marketing potential. In addition, we believe in the last part of the 2016 fiscal year that the compensation packages required to attract the senior executives of the Company will require management to execute against its business plan which will increase our total expenses, including, but not limited to, general and administrative, legal, accounting, marketing and compensation.
Any measurement and comparison of revenues and expenses from continuing operations should not be considered necessarily indicative or interpolated as the trend to forecast our future revenues and results of operations.
Consulting and Software Development. The expense for the three months ended May 31, 2016 was $15,000 as compared to $59,000 for the three months ended May 31, 2015. These decrease costs of $44,000, were a direct result of the decreased software development activity.
Net Loss. Net loss for the three months ended May 31, 2016 was $18,475 as compared to $76,878 for the three months ended May 31, 2015. The decrease of net loss of $58,403 was a result of reduced issuance of stock for development services and consulting.
Results for the Nine Months Ended May 31, 2016
Revenues. The Company’s revenues for the nine months ended May 31, 2016 were $-0-. Additionally, the Company has not had any revenues from inception (June 2, 2008) to May 31, 2016.
Legal and Accounting Expenses. Legal and Accounting expenses for the nine months ended May 31, 2016 were $10,500 as compared to $73,771 for the nine months ended May 31, 2015. These decreased costs of legal and accounting expenses were a direct result of maturing product development.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended May 31, 2016 were $2,533 as compared to $77,194 for the nine months ended May 31, 2015. These expenses are normal and reoccurring for our Company.
Consulting and Software Development. The expense for the nine months ended May 31, 2016 was $60,000 as compared to $348,988 for the nine months ended May 31, 2015. These decrease costs of $288,988 were a direct result of the decreased software development activity.
Net Loss. Net loss for the nine months ended May 31, 2016 was $73,033 as compared to $804,980 for the nine months ended May 31, 2015. The decrease of net loss of $731,947 was a result of the entering into the company’s beta testing stage of internet and mobile applications.
Impact of Inflation
We believe that the rate of inflation has had negligible effect on our operations. We believe we can absorb most, if not all, increased non-controlled operating costs by increasing sales prices, whenever deemed necessary and by operating our Company in the most efficient manner possible.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. Since its inception, the Company has been funded by advances from related parties, conversion of debt to common shares and the sale of common shares to related parties and others.
As of May 31, 2016, total current assets were $131.
As of May 31, 2016, total current liabilities were $639,248, which consisted of $137,500 for accounts payable, $241,250 for accrued expenses, which included 60,000 accrued expenses related party. Also there was $260,498 of advances from related parties. As of August 31, 2015, total current liabilities were $566,311, which consisted of $179,750 of accrued expenses and $137,500 of accounts payable. We had net working capital deficit of $639,117 as of May 31, 2016, compared to net working deficit capital of $566,084 at August 31, 2015.
During the nine months ended May 31, 2016, our operating activities used cash of $96.
Material Commitments
The Company does not have any material commitments as of May 31, 2016.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or any anticipate entering into any off-balance arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The company has adopted all recently issued accounting pronouncements. The adoption of the accounting pronouncements, including those not yet effective, is not anticipated to have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
None.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable for a smaller reporting company.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Company management maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that is filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based upon their evaluation of those controls and procedures performed as of May 31, 2016, the date of this report, the Company’s chief executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
(b) Changes in internal controls. There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation of those controls by the chief executive officer and principal financial officer.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s 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 the Company’s 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 the Company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Company’s directors; and |
| |
· | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As part of the Company’s compliance efforts relative to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2016. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Company management evaluated control deficiencies identified through the Company’s test of the design and operating effectiveness of controls over financial reporting to determine whether the deficiencies, individually or in combination, are significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. In performing the assessment, the Company’s management has identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting existing as of May 31, 2016. The Company’s evaluation of the significance of each deficiency included both quantitative and qualitative factors. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that as of May 31, 2016, and as of the date that the evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls and procedures was completed, the Company’s internal controls are not effective, for the reason discussed below:
- 13 -
| | |
| 1. | Company management does not yet have written documentation of the Company’s internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and may be applicable to the Company in future years. |
| | |
| 2. | Company management does not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to the Company’s extremely small size and the fact that the Company has only had one management employee, whom is also an executive officer and director, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. |
| | |
| 3. | The Company currently does not employ any full-time accounting personnel, which means the Company lacks the requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting. In addition, this means that the Company does not have available personnel to properly implement control procedures. |
| | |
| 4. | The Company does not have a functioning audit committee or outside independent directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures. |
| | |
| 5. | Company management has not established adequate financial reporting monitoring activities to mitigate the risk of management override, specifically because there are no employees and only one officer and director with management functions and therefore there the Company lacks segregation of duties. |
| | |
| 6. | There is a strong reliance on the external auditors and contract accountants to review and adjust the annual and quarterly financial statements, to monitor new accounting principles, and to ensure compliance with GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements. |
| | |
| 7. | There is a strong reliance on the external attorneys to review and edit the annual and quarterly filings and to ensure compliance with SEC disclosure requirements. |
In light of the material weaknesses described above, Company management performed additional analysis and other procedures to ensure the Company’s financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, Company management believes that the financial statements included in this Current Report fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
In addition, although the Company’s controls are not effective, these significant weaknesses did not result in any material misstatements in the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s management is committed to improving its internal controls and will (1) continue to use third party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist the Company with accounting and finance responsibilities, (2) increase the frequency of independent reconciliations of significant accounts which is intended to mitigate the lack of segregation of duties until there are sufficient personnel and (3) has, subsequent to the evaluation period, appointed outside directors and will establish an audit committee in the future.
(b) Changes in Internal Control and Financial Reporting. Other than the weaknesses identified above, there were no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
