ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
9
GENERAL
We were incorporated in the state of Nevada on April 11, 2012. We are in the business of internet based group buying site. We plan to develop daily deal website marketplace. Daily deal is a web-based business model in which a single type of product is offered for sale for a period of 24 hours. When a deal goes live on the website then members of deal of the day website receive online offers and invitations in email and social networks. Customers purchase the deal on the deal of the day website (rather than directly from the supplier). Once the deal has been bought via the website, customers' credit cards is charged and the deal is delivered as an electronic voucher which can be redeemed from the supplier. Vouchers purchased from daily deals websites typically expire after a certain period. Our principal office address is located at 2360 Corporate Circle Suite 400, Henderson NV 89074. Our phone number is (718) 717-2607. We are a development stage company and have not earned any revenue. It is likely that we will not be able to achieve profitability and will have to cease operations due to the lack of funding.
Our services.
We are in the business of web based daily deal site. We will charge merchants a commission percentage fee from the deals sold through our website. Also we plan to sell our own goods at discounted prices.
Our director, Romanas Bagdonas, has worked in internet sales industry for the past 8 years. We will rely on his knowledge and expertise of industry in conducting our operations.
The merchant agrees to offer customers a specific product or service at a greatly discounted rate (usually 50% off or more) that is only available for 24 hours and only online. We think our website could offer a wide range of products - from electrical goods to beauty products. Also we are going to have wide range of services and discounts given for restaurants, retail stores, spas, theaters, travelling etc. Once the deal becomes activated on our web site and if the customers are signed up for the deal they become eligible. Eligible customers’ credit cards are charged for the purchase by Interups Inc. and they receive an email for a printable voucher that is used to redeem the deal with the merchant.
If we raise more than $75,000, we plan to keep a small inventory for re-selling on our web site. This inventory will consist of most popular items with highest turnover rate. We will display our inventory on our website. Our customers will be asked to pay us the full price in advance.
a. STRATEGY:
We plan to focus on a monthly recurring "subscription" type model. . The sellers can develop/refine a product line whereby it is a monthly/quarterly distribution for the customer. Example is office supply: a working business needs this office supply at deal prices, but they don't want to spend or purchase all at once. The "deal" is the fact that the discount would only be available under the specific terms and values determined by the seller, over certain time-frames, etc. When sellers know how many subscribers they have every cycle, sellers can plan ahead.
Website
As described in our Plan of Operation we are planning to set up web sites in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Germany and USA. Web sites will be in respective country language. All our web sites will have similar structure. Our website will display information about us, our services, our prices, our terms, delivery time for foods and other information. Web site features: multiple locations, multiple merchants, multiple categories, subscriber list segmentation, daily emails, simplicity of user interface to save customer time, quick and effective customer support.
10
Details of web site:
The user will be able to view and choose the city and deal of their choice. Every city has multiple deals listed under it. The users can subscribe deal notification to a single or multiple cities. Merchant/Business locations will be seen through Google Map. The User can view the other deals (“Nearby Deals”) which are on, in the same city or location along with the featured deal. Users will be able to check recent past deals of the subscribed city on the website (“Recent deals”)
The Daily Deal solution will allow the subscribers of the system to receive e-mail notifications about new deals happening in their subscribed cities or merchants. Once they purchase the deal, they will be sent their Coupon via email. Printing of coupon will be available at subscribers account.
Our website will allow the user to refer deals to friends (“Deal Referral”). The deals will be referred to friends by forwarding the unique referral through e-mail, Facebook and Twitter. If any of the user's reference buys the deal through this referral, the user will get Referral Bonus for the first purchase by the reference. User can redeem the Deal Referral Bonus in their next purchase.
Marketing and Advertising Our Services
We intend to rely on our sole officer and director, Romanas Bagdonas to market and advertise our services and products. Our goal is to create solid customer email base. The more targeted email content is, the more successful it’s likely to be. We will try cross-channel email marketing with social media, SMS marketing and other marketing methods that we can integrate in your group buying marketing strategy. In order to motivate people to subscribe for Daily Deal we will create special subscription campaigns including these elements:
•
use your business profiles on social media to promote subscriptions;
•
create a compelling landing page outlining benefits of subscribing;
•
credits for signing up and inviting friends; and
•
offer other benefits like souvenir gifts, samples etc.
Romanas Bagdonas will meet with merchants; negotiate with them to obtain the deals.
Our products and services will be distributed mainly through our website. When our volume of sales increases we may hire additional sales personnel to help administer the sale of our products and services. We plan to compensate these sales personnel solely with commission payments from sales.
Source of Inventory
If we raise more than $75,000 we are planning to have some inventory of well selling products to make profit on reselling them via our web site. We will purchase merchandise in bulk at discount prices and pass the savings to our customers. We plan to purchase our inventory from the Closeouts and Liquidations sales.
We will buy and resell various products. Possible products could include, but are not limited to clothing, cosmetic lines of products, souvenirs etc. We will resell those products via our web site or wholesale to others distributors. We do not have any agreements or contracts with closeouts or liquidations companies to buy their products at this time. We believe that we not need any government approval of principal products we are going to sell on our web site.
Closeouts are a type of sale of goods below original manufacture cost that will no longer be carried or sold within the retail stores.
11
Liquidations are type of sales of goods below original cost in order to settle debts or reduce amount of debt owed by a company converting merchandise in to cash.
Agreement with SIA Olira.
We have executed an agreement with a merchant in Latvia, SIA Olira on May 17, 2012. SIA Olira provides line of skin care products and has own day spa with variety of services for the purpose of improving health, beauty and relaxation through personal care treatments such as massages and facials. We will offer and promote these product and services through our web site.
We will offer discounted coupons for SIA Olira's products on our web sites, collect funds from the buyers and for all sales generated from these coupons(vouchers) we will retain commissions of one –half (1/2) of proceed of the vouchers sales. Within 60 days after the last day of the use of the vouchers, we will remit half of the proceeds generated to SIA Olira.
All payments of sale tax and use tax related to the products or services of Merchant offered in the Voucher shall be Merchant responsibility.
SIA agrees that we have the right to refund the Voucher price to any customer who is dissatisfied with the experience of scheduling and using the merchant's product. In case of refund we will have to return the commission to SIA Olira.

We presently do not have pension, health, annuity, insurance, stock options, profit sharing or similar benefit plans; however, we may adopt such plans in the future. There are presently no personal benefits available to any officers, directors or employees.
Results of Operation
Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation.
12
We expect we will require additional capital to meet our long term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through, among other things, the sale of equity or debt securities.
Three and Nine Months Period Ended February 28, 2014
Our net loss for the three and nine month periods ended February 28, 2014 was $1,397 and $ 18,968. Our net loss for the three and nine month periods ended February 28, 2013 was $ 1,132 and $ 9,188. During the three and nine month periods ended February 28, 2014 and 2013 we have not generated any revenue.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Three Months Period Ended February 28, 2014
As at February 28, 2014, our total assets were $3,856 compared to $17,824 in total assets at May 31, 2013. Total assets were comprised of $3,856 in cash. As at February 28, 2014, our current liabilities were $10,037. Stockholders’ equity was $(6,181) as of February 28, 2014 compared to stockholders' equity of $7,787 as of May 31, 2013.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. For the nine months periods ended February 28, 2014 and 2013, net cash flows used in operating activities was $18,968 and $3,975. For the period from inception on April 11, 2012 to February 28, 2014, net cash flows from operating activities was $31,944.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
For the nine months period ended February 28, 2014, the Company have not generated any cash flow.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
We have financed our operations primarily from either advancements or the issuance of equity. For the nine months period ended February 28, 2014, the cash flows from financing activities were $5,000. For the period from inception on April 11, 2012 to February 28, 2014, net cash provided by financing activities was $35,800 received of proceeds from issuance of common stock of $33,000 and director loans of $2,800.
Plan of Operation and Funding
We expect that working capital requirements will continue to be funded through a combination of our existing funds and further issuances of securities. Our working capital requirements are expected to increase in line with the growth of our business.
Existing working capital, further advances and debt instruments, and anticipated cash flow are expected to be adequate to fund our operations over the next three months. We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of the private placement of equity and debt instruments. In connection with our business plan, management anticipates additional increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures relating to: (i) acquisition of inventory; (ii) developmental expenses associated with a start-up business; and (iii) marketing expenses. We intend to finance these expenses with further issuances of securities, and debt issuances. Thereafter, we expect we will need to raise additional capital and generate revenues to meet long-term operating requirements. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly
13
and materially restrict our business operations. We will have to raise additional funds in the next twelve months in order to sustain and expand our operations. We currently do not have a specific plan of how we will obtain such funding; however, we anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. We have and will continue to seek to obtain short-term loans from our directors, although no future arrangement for additional loans has been made. We do not have any agreements with our directors concerning these loans. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we do not have any offbalance 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 are material to investors.
Going Concern
The independent auditors' review report accompanying our May 31, 2013 financial statements contained an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared "assuming that we will continue as a going concern," which contemplates that we will realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.
