LOAD GUARD LOGISTICS, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
January 31, 2014
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Load Guard Logistics, Inc. (the "Company") is a Nevada corporation incorporated on March 16, 2011, and is based in Miami, FL. The company was originally incorporated as Load Guard Transportation, Inc. and changed its name to Load Guard Logistics, Inc. on November 6, 2012. The Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, "LGT, Inc." in Florida on March 18, 2011. The Company's fiscal year end is October 31.
The Company operates as a transportation and delivery services company. We generate revenues from the actual movement of freight from shippers to consignees as well as serving as a logistics provider by arranging for others to provide the transportation services.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Consolidation
These financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the wholly-owned subsidiary, LGT, Inc. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Basis of Presentation
The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the Company's opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended January 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full years. While management of the Company believes that the disclosures presented herein are adequate and not misleading, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited combined financial statements and the footnotes thereto for the year ended October 31, 2013 filed Form 10-K on January 27, 2014.
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. The estimates and judgments will also affect the reported amounts for certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these good faith estimates and judgments.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported income.
8
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with maturities of three months or less.
Accounts Receivable
The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations and generally does not require collateral. Trade accounts receivable are
recorded at their invoiced amounts, net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company evaluates the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts quarterly. Accounts outstanding longer than contractual
payment terms are considered past due and are reviewed individually for collectability. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses based upon its loss history and specific receivables aging analysis. Receivable balances are written off when collection is deemed unlikely. Management's evaluation of outstanding balances determined that an allowance, as of January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013 was not considered necessary, based on history and its subsequent collections.
Concentration Risk
For the period ending January 31, 2014, the Company recognized revenues from one customer, in the amount of approximately $30,000 or 47.4% of total revenues. The same customer accounts for approximately $15,900 or 45.6% of total receivables.
Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives (5 years). Historical costs are reviewed and evaluated for their net realizable value of the assets. The carrying amount of all long-lived assets is evaluated periodically to determine if adjustment to the depreciation period or the unamortized balance is warranted. Based upon its most recent analysis, the Company believes that no impairment of property and equipment existed at January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013.
Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When required impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset. When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets. We did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
The Company follows ASC 260, "Earnings per Share," ("EPS") which requires presentation of basic EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share, for the periods ended January 31, 2014 and 2013:
Three Months Ended January 31, | ||||||||
2014 | 2013 | |||||||
Net income | $ | 3,620 | $ | 160 | ||||
Weighted average common shares outstanding (Basic) | 3,623,500 | 2,963,505 | ||||||
Net income (loss) per share (Basic) | $ | 0.00 | $ | 0.00 |
The Company has no potentially dilutive securities, such as options or warrants, currently issued and outstanding.
9
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and cash equivalents and related party payables it will likely incur in the near future. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. At times, its cash and cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits. The Company's management plans to assess the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds, and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited.
Financial Instruments
The Company's balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.
ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
· | Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities |
· | Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
· | Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of January 31, 2014. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
10
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company's financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable; related party notes payable; and, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of services in accordance with ASC 605, "Revenue Recognition." The Company recognizes revenue only when all of the following criteria have been met:
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws and a limited number of grandfathered standards, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ ("ASC") is the sole source of authoritative GAAP literature recognized by the FASB and applicable to the Company. We have reviewed the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the corporation's reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration.
NOTE 3 -GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY CONSIDERATIONS
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of January 31, 2014, the Company has a loss from operations of $1,230 and negative cash flows from operations of $4,145. The Company intends to fund operations through equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the year ending October 31, 2014.
The ability of the Company to fully commence its operations is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, and execution of its business plan. In response to these concerns, management intends to raise additional funds through public or private placement offerings and through loans from officers and directors.
These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. There can be no assurance that management's plan will be successful.
11

Other
The officers and directors of the Company may be involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities that become available. He may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and other business interests. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.
The Company does not own or lease property or lease office space. The office space used by the Company was arranged by the founder of the Company to use at no charge.
The Company does not have employment contracts with its two key employees, the controlling shareholders, who are officers and directors of the Company.
The controlling shareholders and management have pledged support to fund continuing operations through temporary loans to meet the Company's cash flow requirements; however there is no written commitment to this effect. The Company is dependent upon the continued support of these parties until such time that the Company receives adequate equity capital or other long-term financing.
The amounts and terms of the above transactions may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts and terms that would have been incurred had comparable transactions been entered into with independent third parties.
NOTE 7 - EQUITY
Preferred Stock
The Company has authorized 20,000,000 preferred shares with a par value of $0.001 per share. The Board of Directors are authorized to divide the authorized shares of Preferred Stock into one or more series, each of which shall be so designated as to distinguish the shares thereof from the shares of all other series and classes. No rights or preferences have been adopted and there are no dividend or liquidation rights.
There were no preferred shares issued and outstanding as of January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013.
Common Stock
The Company has authorized 100,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001 per share. Each common share entitles the holder to one vote, in person or proxy, on any matter on which action of the stockholders of the corporation is sought. Holders have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available and are entitled to share in assets available for distribution upon liquidation. Holders do not have preemptive, subscriptive, conversion or cumulative voting rights, and there are no redemption or sinking find provisions or rights. Holders of common stock have the right to approve any amendment of the Articles of Incorporation, elect directors, approve any plan of merger and approve a plan for the sale, lease or exchange of all of the Company's assets as proposed by the Board of Directors.

The Company has no stock option plan, warrants or other dilutive securities.
13
NOTE 8 -PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The Company follows ASC 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. ASC 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts which would be provided by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% to the net income before provision for income taxes for the following reasons:
January 31, 2014 | October 31, 2013 | |||||||
Income tax (benefit) expense at statutory rate | $ | 100 | $ | (1,300 | ) | |||
Valuation allowance | (100 | ) | 1,300 | |||||

Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared. Due to the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain, materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. On a regular basis, we review our critical accounting policies and how they are applied in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements.
While we believe that the historical experience, current trends and other factors considered support the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, actual results could differ from our estimates and such differences could be material.

Our financial results for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 are summarized as follows:

Revenue
Revenue commenced during October 2012 from our trucking operations through our wholly-owned subsidiary LGT, Inc. We earned revenues of $63,421 for the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to revenues of $57,130 for the three months ended January 31, 2013. For the three months ended January 31, 2014 we earned $47,554 from direct trucking revenues and $15,867 in brokerage income from our independent contractors.
.
Expenses
Our total operating expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 are outlined in the table below:
Three Months Ended January 31, | ||||||||
2014 | 2013 | |||||||
Fuel and fuel taxes | $ | 20,524 | $ | 24,581 | ||||
Salaries and wages | 18,226 | 16,316 | ||||||
Operations and maintenance | 14,299 | 9,820 | ||||||
Professional fees | 2,975 | 7,537 | ||||||
General and administrative | 8,627 | 5,070 | ||||||
Total | $ | 64,651 | $ | 63,324 |
Expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2014 barely increased as compared to the period in 2013.
Our fuel costs represented 43% of trucking revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2014. This is high for what is expected going forward, however, fuel is one of our largest direct expenses. Fuel cost for the periods was high mainly as a result of our trucking revenues being low on a per mileage basis, due to the competitive tender system of dealing with freight brokers. Wages of $18,226, which represent 38% of trucking revenue for three months ended January 31, 2014, respectively, are for the costs of one driver who is also one of our officers. Operations and maintenance costs of $14,299, or 30% of trucking revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2014, represents cost related to parts and maintenance of our tractors and trailers as well as general operational expenses, such as for insurance, tolls, and scales. Maintenance costs, as a percentage of revenues, are expected to be consistent in future periods. Professional fees of $2,975 for the three months ended January 31, 2014 as compared to $7,537 for 2013, are primarily due to the cost of continued compliance with the SEC. Fees were higher in the previous period due to the costs for filing our registration statement. We expect professional fees, mainly legal and accounting fees, to increase significantly due to ongoing SEC reporting requirements. Our general and administrative fees are for depreciation on equipment, general office expenses and other operating costs not directly related to our trucking business. General and administrative fees increased $3,557 for the three months ended January 31, 2014 from the comparative period of 2013.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
There is no historical financial information about us on which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are a development stage company and have generated minimal revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise in a highly competitive industry, including limited capital resources, and possible cost overruns due to the price and cost increases in supplies and services.
The Company believes it has enough cash on hand or will be able to generate enough income from operations to pay operating costs for the next twelve months. However, should there be any unforeseen circumstances, the officers and directors have generally indicated a willingness to provide services and financial contributions if necessary.
We have no plans to undertake any product research and development during the next twelve months. There are also no plans or expectations to acquire or sell any plant or plant equipment in the next year of operations.
Liquidity
We have no known demands or commitments and are not aware of any events or uncertainties as of January 31, 2014 that will result in or that are reasonably likely to materially increase or decrease our current liquidity.
Capital Resources
We had no material commitments for capital expenditures as of January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet 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 is material to investors.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of January 31, 2014, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee, (2) lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (3) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (4) management dominated by a single individual without adequate compensating controls. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive and Financial Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of January 31, 2014.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 that occurred in the three months ended January 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our company.
As a "smaller reporting company", we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
We did not issue unregistered equity securities during the quarter ended January 31, 2014.
