1.
Nature of Business and Continuance of Operations
Ami James Brands, Inc. (formerly Quorum Corp.) (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 23, 2011. The Company’s previous operations consisted of a website focused on markets located in the eastern Africa that provided a medium where sellers can sell their specialty services, and buyers can purchase these services. Upon execution of the License Agreement as described in Note 6, the Company changed its business direction to focus on the manufacturing, distribution, sales and marketing of the Ami James brand. The Company has not generated any revenue to date and consequently its operations are subject to all risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. For the period from inception on November 23, 2011 through March 31, 2016, the Company has incurred accumulated losses totalling $376,599. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a)
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Form 10-Q. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended June 30, 2015, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed on October 15, 2015, with the SEC.
The consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at March 31, 2016 the results of its operations for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 and cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. The results of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full year.
b)
Principal of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ami James Brands, Inc. and its 100% owned subsidiary, Chiswick Holdings Limited, a company incorporated in Kenya. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
c)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to income taxes. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
d)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
e)
Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, related party payables and loans payable. The fair value of the Company’s cash equivalents is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The carrying value of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, related party payables and loans payable approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
f)
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive. At March 31, 2016, the Company has no potentially dilutive securities outstanding and accordingly, basic loss and diluted loss per share are the same.
g)
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s has had limited operations in the eastern African markets of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, which results in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. The Company's functional currency for all operations worldwide is the U.S. dollar. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities are translated into their U.S. dollar equivalents at historical rates and monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the end of the year. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the year. Gains and losses from translation of foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in current results of operations.
h)
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method which provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
i)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) Transition Accounting: pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act, we have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards for an “emerging growth company”. This election will permit us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that will have difference effective dates for public and private companies until such time as those standards apply to private companies. Consequently, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

c)
On March 31, 2016, the Company entered into a $2,500 Convertible Promissory Note with a non-related third party.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded accretion of $10 and at March 31, 2016, the carrying value of the note is $655
8.
Derivative Liabilities
The embedded conversion option of the Company’s convertible debentures described in Note 7 contain conversion features that qualify for embedded derivative classification. The fair value of these liabilities will be re-measured at the end of every reporting period and the change in fair value will be reported in the statement of operations as a gain or loss on derivative liabilities.
The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities:
|
| For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2016 |
Balance at the beginning of period | $ | – |
|
|
|
Fair value of new derivative liabilities (embedded conversion option) |
| 34,465 |
Change in fair value of derivative |
| 14,370 |
Balance at end of period | $ | 48,835 |
The Company uses Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the embedded conversion option liabilities as their fair values were determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on various assumptions. The model incorporates the price of a share of the Company’s common stock (as quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board), volatility, risk free rate, dividend rate and estimated life. Significant changes in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement. As required, these are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table shows the assumptions used in the calculations:
| Expected Volatility | Risk-Free Interest Rate | Expected Dividend Yield | Expected Life (in years) |
At Issuance | 94.68 - 126.47% | 0.21 - 0.32% | 0% | 0.25 - 1.00 |
At March 31, 2016 | 94.68 - 97.17% | 0.21% | 0% | 0.25 - 0.33 |

These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially.
While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested in this report.
In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars. All references “common shares” refer to the common shares in our capital stock.
As used in this quarterly report, the terms “we”, “us”, “our” and “our company”, mean Ami James Brands, Inc.
General Overview
We were incorporated on November 23, 2011, under the laws of the State of Nevada. Our principal executive offices are located at 1360 Washington Ave., Miami Beach, FL. Our telephone number is 305-531-4556.
We are a development stage company and have been in the business leveraging an exclusive marketing and licensing agreement with Ami James in the manufacture, distribution, sales and marketing of various products within the apparel industry.
Our Current Business
By utilizing the trademarks acquired through the License Agreement (the “Exclusive License”) we intend to design, market, distribute, and sells apparel under the brand names “Ami James” and “Ami James Ink” to fashion-conscious consumers on four continents, including North America, Europe, Asia, and South America. The Exclusive License grants the Company the right to design, develop, manufacture, distribute and sell a menswear line, a boyswear line, a girlswear line, an infant and toddler line and an accessory line.
We intend to utilize various contract manufacturers located in The United States, Mexico, South America, and Asia for the manufacture of our assorted products. We envision that all garments will be sourced, designed and manufactured by people with unique strengths, skills, and craftsmanship to create premium quality and reliable products that are in high demand with our targeted affluent demographics. We seek to continue to build our brand recognition that is characterized by unique style, timelessness, utility, and quality, as opposed to merely following prevailing fads or trends that do not have the same degree of potential growth or longevity over time.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our stockholders.

Cash Requirements
We intend to begin our operations with the development of our website and then launch a seasonal line of apparel and accessories. We estimate our operating expenses and working capital requirements for the next twelve month period to be as follows:

At present, our cash requirements for the next 12 months outweigh the funds available to maintain or develop our business. Of the $211,000 that we require for the next 12 months, we had $514 in cash as of March 31, 2016. In order to improve our liquidity, we intend to pursue additional equity or debt financing from private investors or possibly a registered public offering. Other than as set out below, we currently do not have any arrangements in place for the completion of any further private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any further private placement financings. If we are unable to achieve the necessary additional financing, then we plan to reduce the amounts that we spend on our business activities and administrative expenses in order to be within the amount of capital resources that are available to us.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
During the nine months ended March 31, 2016, our company used $29,738 of cash for operating activities compared with the use of $36,433 during the nine months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in the use of cash for operating activities was due to decreases in prepaid expenses of $9,084, related party payables of $48,842, offset by increase in accounts payable and accrued liability of $12,533.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
During the nine months ended March 31, 2016, our company received $28,962 of cash for financing activities compared with $44,600 during the nine months ended March 31, 2015.
At March 31, 2016, our company had a cash balance of $514 and prepaid expense of $5,000 and total assets of $5,514 compared with a cash balance of $1,290 and prepaid expense of $5,417 and total assets of $6,707 as at June 30, 2015.
As at March 31, 2016, our company had total liabilities of $333,108 compared with $270,495 as at June 30, 2015. The increase in total liabilities was attributed to convertible debentures of $13,231 and derivative liability of $48,835 offset by a decrease of accounts payable and accrued liabilities to $41,695 from $44,555 as at June 30, 2015.
As at March 31, 2016, our company had a working capital deficit of $327,594 compared with a working capital deficit of $263,788 as at June 30, 2015.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that our company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, our company incurred losses of $63,806 for the nine month period ended March 31, 2016 and has not yet produced revenues from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
13
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event that our company cannot continue as a going concern. Management anticipates that it will be able to raise additional working capital through the issuance of stock and through additional loans from investors.
The ability of our company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our company’s ability to attain a satisfactory level of profitability and obtain suitable and adequate financing. There can be no assurance that management’s plan will be successful.
Future Financings
We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our operations and other activities.
Critical Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements of our company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and are expressed in US dollars. Our company’s fiscal year end is June 30.
Principal of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ami James Brands, Inc. and our 100% owned subsidiary, Chiswick Holdings Limited, a company incorporated in Kenya. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. Our company bases our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by our company may differ materially and adversely from our company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Our company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
Financial Instruments
Our company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, related party payables and loans payable. The fair value of our company’s cash equivalents is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The carrying value of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, related party payables and loans payable approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion our company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive. At December 31, 2015, our company has no potentially dilutive securities outstanding and accordingly, basic loss and diluted loss per share are the same.
14
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s has had limited operations in the eastern African markets of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, which results in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. The Company's functional currency for all operations worldwide is the U.S. dollar. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities are translated into their U.S. dollar equivalents at historical rates and monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the end of the year. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the year. Gains and losses from translation of foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in current results of operations.
Income Taxes
Our company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method which provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Our company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) Transition Accounting: pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act, we have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards for an “emerging growth company”. This election will permit us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that will have difference effective dates for public and private companies until such time as those standards apply to private companies. Consequently, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
Our company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact our consolidated financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
