Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Period Ending May 31, 2013
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 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. In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been made, and all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Basis of presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to exploration stage enterprises, and, unless otherwise stated, are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is November 30.
b. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
c. Fair Value of Financial instruments
The Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10-50, “Fair Value Measurements. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:
| | |
| | |
| · | Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| | |
| | |
| · | Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that
are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. |
| | |
| | |
| · | Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement. |
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for the cash and cash equivalents, and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest.
d. Income taxes
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued FASB ASC 740-10 (Prior authoritative literature: Financial Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48)). FASB ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with prior literature FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This standard requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements. As a result of the implementation of this standard, the Company performed a review of its material tax positions in accordance with recognition and measurement standards established by FASB ASC 740-10.
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
e. Basic and diluted net loss per share

Avalanche International, Corp.
(A Development Stage Corporation)
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Period Ending May 31, 2013
The Company computes net loss per share of common stock in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share (“ASC 260”). Under the provisions of ASC 260, basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and the conversion of convertible promissory notes.
The Company’s calculation of basic and diluted loss per share is as follows:
f. Use of estimates and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Period Ending May 31, 2013
notes. In these financial statements, assets, liabilities and earnings involve extensive reliance on management’s estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s periodic filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) include, where applicable, disclosures of estimates, assumptions, uncertainties, and market that could affect the financial statements and future operations of the Company.
g. Concentrations of credit risk
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and related party payables. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. At times, its cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits. The Company’s management also routinely assesses 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.
h. Risks and uncertainties
The Company operates in the resource exploration industry that is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including financial, operational, and other risks associated with operating a resource exploration business, including the potential risk of business failure.
4.
NEW TECHNICAL PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company has reviewed accounting pronouncements issued during the past two years and has assessed the adoption of any that are applicable to the Company. Management has determined that none had a material impact on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows for the period ended May 31, 2013 and May 31, 2012.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
AVALANCHE INTERNATIONAL, CORP. (“the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, U.S. on April 14, 2011. The company plans to distribute crystallized glass tile in the North American markets to wholesale customers. The Company is in the development stage as defined under Accounting Codification Standard, Development Stage Entities (“ASC-915”).

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Management currently believes that the Company may not have sufficient working capital needed to meet its current fiscal obligations. In order to continue to meet its fiscal obligations beyond the next twelve months, management has plans to pursue various financing alternatives including, but not limited to, merger and acquisition activity, raising capital through the equity markets and debt financing.
The primary source for capital for the Company is the equity markets. Management plans to continue its canvassing efforts of investors and financial institutions to invest capital in the Company through private placement offerings of common shares or units consisting of common shares and warrants. The terms and pricing of any such financing would be determined in the context of the markets. The Company has not entered into an agency agreement or arrangement with any financial institution to raise capital at this time.
Should the Company not be successful at raising capital through the issuance of capital stock, the Company may consider raising capital by the issuance of debt. However, unless the appropriate features, such as convertible options, are attached to the debt instruments, this form of financing is less desirable until such time as the Company may be in a position to reasonably foresee the generation of cash flow to service and repay debt. The Company does not currently have plans to issue debt.
Current Assets and Total Assets
As of May 31, 2013, the unaudited balance sheet reflects that the Company had: i) total current assets of $0, as compared to total current assets of $3,333 at November 30, 2012, a decrease of $3,333; and ii) total assets of $0, as compared to total assets of $3,333 at November 30, 2012, a decrease of $3,333. The decrease in current assets was primarily due to cash used in operating activities.
Total Current Liabilities and Total Liabilities
As of May 31, 2013, the unaudited balance sheet reflects that the Company had total current liabilities and total liabilities of $11,108, compared to total current liabilities and total liabilities of $609 at November 30, 2012, an increase of $10,499. The increase in liabilities was due to: an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and loans from related party, which was comprised of ongoing operational invoices.
14
Cash Flow
During the six months ended May 31, 2013 cash was primarily used to fund operations. The Company reported a net decrease in cash during the six months ended May 31, 2013 as compared to a net increase in cash for the six months ended May 31, 2013. See below for additional discussion and analysis of cash flow.
| | | | |
| | | |
| For the Six Months ended May 31, | For the Six Months ended May 31, |
| 2013 | | 2012 |
| | | |
Net cash used in operating activities | $ (8,315) | | $ (15,765) |
Net cash from financing activities | 8,315 | | 22,200 |
| | | |
Net Change in Cash | $ - | | $ (6,435) |
During the six months ended May 31, 2013, net cash used in operating activities was $8,315, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $15,765 during the six months ended May 31, 2012. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities of $7,450 is primarily due to: a net loss of $13,832 during the current period versus a net loss of $9,706 during the comparative period; partially offset by the net cash from financing activities of $8,315.
Going Concern
These interim unaudited financial statements filing have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as required and that the Company’s assets will be realized and liabilities settled in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the interim unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not be unable to continue as a going concern.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting (ICFR) as of May 31, 2013 based on the control criteria established in a report entitled Internal Control – Integrated Framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, known as COSO. Based on our assessment and those criteria, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting had the following deficiencies and material weaknesses as of May 31, 2013:
1) Certain control procedures were unable to be verified due to performance of the procedure not being sufficiently documented. As an example, some procedures requiring review of certain reports could not be verified due to there being no written notation on the report by the reviewer. Because we were unable to verify these procedures, we conclude that as of May 31, 2013 there were control deficiencies related to the preparation and review of our interim and annual consolidated financial statements, in particular with respect to certain account reconciliations, journal entries and spreadsheets. While none of these control deficiencies resulted in audit adjustments to our 2012 interim or annual financial statements, they could result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected, and therefore we have determined that these control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses.
2) Certain of our personnel had access to various financial application programs and data that was beyond the requirements of their individual job responsibilities. While this control deficiency did not result in any audit adjustments to our 2012 interim or annual consolidated financial statements, it could result in a material misstatement to our interim or consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected, and therefore we have determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
3) We did not maintain a level of personnel sufficient to execute certain computing controls over our information technology structure. While this control deficiency did not result in any audit adjustments to our 2012 interim or annual financial statements, it could result in a material misstatement to our interim or consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected, and therefore we have determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
4) We did not maintain adequate segregation of duties within certain areas impacting our financial reporting. While this control deficiency did not result in any audit adjustments to our 2012 interim or annual financial statements, it could result in a material misstatement to our interim or consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected, and therefore we have determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
To the extent reasonably possible given our resources, we will seek the advice of outside consultants and utilize internal resources to implement additional internal controls to address the above identified material weaknesses. We are taking steps to implement additional review and approval procedures applicable to our financial reporting process, and are in the planning phase of creating and implementing new information technology policies and procedures related to controls over information technology operations, security and change management.
16
Through these steps, we believe that we are addressing the deficiencies that affected our internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2013. Because the remedial actions require upgrading certain of our information technology systems, relying extensively on manual review and approval processes, and possibly hiring of additional personnel, we may not be able to conclude that these material weaknesses have been remedied until these controls have been successfully operation for some period of time.
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. It is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. It also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override.
Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process certain safeguards to reduce, thought not eliminate, this risk. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting.
This report does not include an attestation of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting, pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter of 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have not had any changes or disagreements with our accountants required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 304 of Regulation S-K.
