|
The Company maintains its accounting records on an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). |
|
The consolidated financial statements present the Balance Sheet, Statements of Operations, Shareholders’ Deficit and Cash Flows of the Company. These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The accompanying audited, consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. All adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods have been made and are of a recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed herein. |
Principles of Consolidation | ' |
Principles of Consolidation |
|
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Service Team Inc. and Trade Leasing, Inc. both of which are under common control and ownership. The condensed consolidated financial statements herein contain the operations of the wholly-owned subsidiaries listed above. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of these financial statements. |
Use of Estimates | ' |
Use of Estimates |
|
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Going Concern | ' |
Going Concern |
|
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, we have incurred continued losses, ongoing negative cash flows from operations, have a net working capital deficiency of $228,001, and have an accumulated deficit of approximately $1,187,870 as of November 30, 2013. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in order to continue as a going concern. The Company is funding its operations by issuing common shares and debt. As of November 30, 2013, the Company had sold 6,000,000 shares to Hallmark Venture Group, Inc. at $0.001 per share for net funds to the Company of $6,000 and received capital contributions of $23,027. The Company has also sold 1,969,014 shares to various individuals and received net funds of $340,383. Hallmark Venture Group, Inc. has also loaned the Company $175,999. The major shareholder, Hallmark Venture Group, Inc., has committed to advancing additional funds as may be required for the operation of the Company. We cannot be certain that capital will be provided when it is required. |
Cash and Equivalents | ' |
Cash and Equivalents |
|
Cash and equivalents include investments with initial maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains its cash balances at credit-worthy financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $250,000. There were no cash equivalents at November 30, 2013 or August 31, 2013. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | ' |
Concentration of Credit Risk |
|
Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, are cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits. |
Accounts Receivable Policy | ' |
Accounts Receivable |
|
All accounts receivable are due thirty (30) days from the date billed. If the funds are not received within thirty (30) days the customer is contacted to arrange payment. The Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectable accounts receivable. All accounts were considered collectable at period end and no allowance for bad debts was considered necessary. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of November 30, 2013 and August 31, 2013 was $8,575 and $5,961, respectively. |
Accounts Receivable and Revenue Concentrations | ' |
Accounts Receivable and Revenue Concentrations |
|
The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Trade Leasing, Inc., has more than 400 customers. One customer represents about 36% of total receivables as of August 31, 2013. Three customers represented 12%, 11% and 10% of total receivables as of November 30, 2013. |
|
During the three months ended November 30, 2013, the Company had one customer that represented about 22% of total sales. During the three months ended November 30, 2012, Service Team Inc. had one customer, the Warrantech division of AmTrust Financial Services, Inc, that represented all of our sales. |
Inventory Policy | ' |
Inventory |
|
The Company does not own inventory. For the Service Products division, parts are supplied to the Company without charge by the manufacturers of the electrical appliance for use in making the warranty repairs as needed. Any unused parts are considered to be immaterial as of year-end. For the Trade Leasing division, materials are purchased as needed from local suppliers; therefore, there was no additional inventory on hand at November 30, 2013 or August 31, 2013. |
Property and Equipment Policy | ' |
Property and Equipment |
|
Equipment, vehicles and furniture, which are recorded at cost, consist primarily of fabrication equipment and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets (generally fifteen years or less). Costs incurred for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred and expenditures for major replacements and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated remaining useful lives. There was no depreciation expense during the three months ended November 30, 2013 and August 31, 2013. |
|
Net property and equipment were as follows at November 30, 2013 and August 31, 2013: |

Lease Commitments | ' |
Lease Commitments |
|
Service Team Inc. leases a manufacturing facility at 10633 Ruchti Road, South Gate, California 90280 on a year-to-year basis for $7,000 per month. The location consists of three acres of land with two buildings a fabrication building of 6,000 square feet and a final assembly building of 12,000 square feet. The final assembly building includes a large spray booth capable of accommodating large trucks and office space for four offices. |
|
Our principal executive offices are located in 600 square feet in a building at 18482 Park Villa Place, Villa Park, California 92861. The space is furnished by Hallmark Venture Group, Inc., a related party, at no charge. As a result of this contribution of office space, $1,500 and $500 of imputed rent expense was recorded for the three months ended November 30, 2013 and November 30, 2012. |
Beneficial Conversion Features | ' |
Beneficial Conversion Features |
|
From time to time, the Company may issue convertible notes that may contain an imbedded beneficial conversion feature. A beneficial conversion feature exists on the date a convertible note is issued when the fair value of the underlying common stock to which the note is convertible into is in excess of the remaining unallocated proceeds of the note after first considering the allocation of a portion of the note proceeds to the fair value of warrants, if related warrants have been granted. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is recorded as a debt discount with a corresponding amount to additional paid in capital. The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the note using the effective interest method. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ' |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
|
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 on June 6, 2011. Under this FASB, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value. |
|
The Company has various financial instruments that must be measured under the new fair value standard including: cash, convertible notes payable, accrued expenses, promissory notes payable, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows: |
|
Level 1 – Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. The fair value of the Company’s cash is based on quoted prices and therefore classified as Level 1. |
|
Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and 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, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs). |
|
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |
|
Cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, promissory notes and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheet are estimated by management to approximate fair market value due to their short term nature. |
|
The following table presents assets that were measured and recognized at fair value as of November 30, 2013 on a recurring basis: |
|
| | | | | | | | | | Total | |

Income Taxes Policy | ' |
Income Taxes |
|
In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical operating results and the uncertainty of the economic conditions, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets at November 30, 2013 and August 31, 2013 where it cannot conclude that it is more likely than not that those assets will be realized. |
Revenue Recognition | ' |
Revenue Recognition |
|
Trade Leasing Division |
|
The Trade Leasing Division receives orders from customers to build or repair truck bodies. The company builds the requested product. At the completion of the product the truck is delivered to the customer. If the customer accepts the product Trade Leasing Inc. issues an invoice to the customer for the job. The invoice is entered into our accounting system and is recognized as revenue at that time. |
|
In the Trade Leasing Division we use the completed contract method for truck bodies built, which typically have construction periods of 15 days or less. Contracts are considered complete when title has passed, the customer has accepted the product and we do not retain risks or rewards of ownership of the truck bodies. Losses are accrued if manufacturing costs are expected to exceed manufacturing contract revenue. Manufacturing expenses are primarily composed of aluminum cost, which is the largest component of our raw materials cost and the cost of labor. |
|
|
Service Products Division |
|
The Service Products Division repairs or replaces electrical appliances (mostly televisions), covered by warranties or insurance companies. The Company has a price list of its services that sets forth a menu of charges for various repairs or replacements. At the completion of the repair, an invoice is prepared itemizing the parts used and fixed labor rate costs are billed by the Company. The invoice is entered into our accounting system and is recognized as revenue at that time. Our invoice is paid by the warranty insurance companies. We do not take title to the product at any point during this process. |
|
As described above, in accordance with the requirements of ASC 605-10-599, the Company recognizes revenue when (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists (contracts); (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the seller’s price is fixed or determinable (per the customer’s contract); and (4) collectability is reasonably assured (based upon our credit policy). |
Share Based Expenses Policy | ' |
Share Based Expenses |
|
The Company accounts for the issuance of equity instruments to acquire goods and/or services based on the fair value of the goods and services or the fair value of the equity instrument at the time of issuance, whichever is more readily determinable. The Company's accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of standards issued by the FASB. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor's performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. |
Stock Based Compensation Policy | ' |
Stock Based Compensation |
|
In December of 2004, the FASB issued a standard which applies to transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services and also applies to liabilities an entity may incur for goods or services that are based on the fair value of those equity instruments. For any unvested portion of previously issued and outstanding awards, compensation expense is required to be recorded based on the previously disclosed methodology and amounts. Prior periods presented are not required to be restated. We adopted the standard as of inception. The Company has not issued any stock options to its Board of Directors and officers as compensation for their services. If options are granted, they will be accounted for at a fair value as required by the FASB ASC 718. |
Net Loss Per Share | ' |
Net Loss Per Share |
|
The Company adopted the standard issued by the FASB, which requires presentation of basic earnings or loss per share and diluted earnings or loss per share. Basic income (loss) per share (“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”) are similarly calculated using the treasury stock method except that the denominator is increased to reflect the potential dilution that would occur if dilutive securities at the end of the applicable period were exercised. As of November 30, 2013 and 2012, because the Company does not have any potentially dilutive securities, the accompanying presentation is only of basic loss per share. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | ' |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
|
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-11: Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The new guidance requires that unrecognized tax benefits be presented on a net basis with the deferred tax assets for such carryforwards. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2013. We do not expect the adoption of the new provisions to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. |
|
In February 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, to improve the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. Other comprehensive income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period. Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments in the ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information that this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under U.S. GAAP. The new amendments will require an organization to: |
|
| - | Present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income - but only if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period; and | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
|
| - | Cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP for other reclassification items (that are not required under U.S. GAAP) to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is initially transferred to a balance sheet account (e.g., inventory for pension-related amounts) instead of directly to income or expense. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
|
The amendments apply to all public and private companies that report items of other comprehensive income. Public companies are required to comply with these amendments for all reporting periods (interim and annual). The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, for public companies. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-02 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. |
|
In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which clarifies which instruments and transactions are subject to the offsetting disclosure requirements originally established by ASU 2011-11. The new ASU addresses preparer concerns that the scope of the disclosure requirements under ASU 2011-11 was overly broad and imposed unintended costs that were not commensurate with estimated benefits to financial statement users. In choosing to narrow the scope of the offsetting disclosures, the Board determined that it could make them more operable and cost effective for preparers while still giving financial statement users sufficient information to analyze the most significant presentation differences between financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and those prepared under IFRSs. Like ASU 2011-11, the amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning on, or after January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-01 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. |
|
In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04. The amendments in this update cover a wide range of Topics in the Accounting Standards Codification. These amendments include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification and conforming amendments related to fair value measurements. The amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. |
