Item 1. Business.
|
Overview
Palmerston Stock Agency, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Delaware on May 12, 2009. We were formed to commence business as a stock agent in the wool trade. Our founder and President, Ian Raleigh has numerous years of experience in the wool trade. He was raised on his parent’s sheep farming community in New Zealand and owns his own sheep which he has farmed and bred for the wool industry.
We intend to buy sheared grease wool direct from farmers in the Manawatu-Wanganui region of New Zealand and eventually expand to Australia as we grow our business operations. We intend to oversee the purchase of the wool, process the wool and separate it for sale at auction or sell direct to the textile manufacturing industry. We anticipate consulting with representatives in Asia and Europe to assist marketing our product to the textile manufacturing industry.
1
Our Operating Strategy
Palmerston Stock Agency, Inc., intends to purchase grease wool from farmers in the Manawatu-Wanganui region on the North Island and surrounding areas in New Zealand and process it for sale throughout the year. At this time, we have taken no steps to implement our business plan and as such, the goals set forth in this section are merely aspirational and there is no guarantee we will be able to implement our plan. In addition, we have no customers, no contractual relationships with suppliers, no employees, and we need $850,000 before we can commence our business operations.
The grease wool will be classed on site to determine its sale price and then we will pay the wool farmer immediately. Shearing, the process by which the woolen fleece of a sheep is cut off, is from late September to early December in the Manawatu-Wanganui region of New Zealand. We intend to purchase, process, class and stock as many kilograms of wool as we can afford during this time to be sold throughout the year to textile manufacturers for profit. We believe that buying sheep wool in bulk during the New Zealand shearing season will enable us to provide high quality product to our customers at a profit while demand is high and supply from others sources if low. We intend to hire a licensed full-time classer to class all bales prior to sale. We anticipate that our classer will work hands on in every aspect of the business while managing and maintaining our inventory.
Our goal is to be known by our customers as a reliable and high quality wool distributor. We intend to make sure that every step of cleaning and processing our wool is closely supervised and monitored for high quality.
Due to our experience in the wool industry we believe we can achieve our business goals. We are currently developing contacts in the industry and have not established any contractual relationships with any contacts at this time. We intend to provide farmers with a simplified buying system that offers a fair market price for their sheared grease wool using the weekly Australian Wool Exchange (“AWEX”) as a purchase guide. In addition, we intend to pay farmers immediately for their wool which we believe will lower our purchase price and enable us to buy in bulk, store and sell at a higher price later throughout the year to our customers.
We can only commence business if we raise enough capital to buy enough wool to sell throughout the year. We have a short window of approximately two and a half months to purchase our inventory of wool for the year. If we cannot afford to purchase enough wool to be profitable for a twelve month period the company will not commence business of any kind. If we cannot afford to purchase enough wool for a twelve month period we intend to raise additional capital by doing another private offering of our common stock.
The company needs to raise approximately US $850,000 to commence its "year one" plan of business. If the company is unsuccessful in raising the additional capital that it needs to operate its first year of business it will not commence business operations of any kind until the necessary money is raised. If the company can exceed in raising more than the $850,000 that it needs to commence business in under its "year one" plan it will use the extra capital to purchase additional inventory which will accelerate its growth plan. At this time, we have not raised the necessary minimum capital to commence our “year one” plan of business. We have consulted with friends, family, and business associated in the industry to raise the $850,000 necessary to commence business operations. Currently, no other steps have been taken to raise the necessary funds.
Recent Development
Due to our inability to obtain adequate financing and therefore our inability to successfully implement our business plan, it is possible that we may cease our operations and pursue a potential reverse acquisition candidate.
Shipping
We are going to invoice all of our customers for the cost of shipping at the time that they order our wool. We will get a quote for every shipment at the time the order is placed. We have had discussions with Hapag-Lloyd (New Zealand) Ltd. regarding shipping because they are well known in the wool industry as a shipper of choice and can deliver cargo to almost all points of the world with regular trips from New Zealand to Europe and Asia. We have also had discussions with GEO.H Scales Ltd. who are also known in the wool export industry. At this time no formal agreements have been entered into.
2
Competition
We currently have limited operations and are not yet competing with any companies. However, once we further our operations, we believe we will have many competitors. Most of our competitors are very large well established companies.
Advertising and Sales Strategy
Our advertising and sales strategy will be one of personal contact by our management, Ian and Michael Raleigh. They will both be in touch with members of their community who are fellow farmers, members of their co-op and farmers they meet at the weekly auctions. Our management intends to go on a tour of most of the wool producing farms in the greater Manawatu-Wanganui region to promote our business. We plan to place print ads in the co-op bulletin and farmers daily which will direct potential customers to inquire about our business and visit our website. We plan to utilize many free online sources to assist with directing potential customers to our website including the industry trade online forums. At this time, we have taken no steps to advertise or promote our business other than preliminary discussions with business associates and industry related people. In addition, we have not commenced the creation of our website.
Government Regulation
We do not expect any governmental regulations to have an impact on our planned business operations. Existing laws with which we must comply cover issues that include:
|
●
|
Corporate Taxes
|
|
●
|
Collection and payment of the Goods and services tax of 12.5%
|
|
●
|
Payroll Taxes
|
|
●
|
Business Licence
|
|
●
|
Registered Licensed Classer (Must re-register annually)
|
New laws may impact our ability to market our products in the future. However, we are not aware of any pending laws or regulations that would have an impact on our business.
Employees
As of July 2012, we have no full time employees. Our President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer Ian Raleigh and our Secretary Michael Raleigh each spend approximately 30 hours per week on the Company’s matters. We believe this is sufficient time to successfully implement our business plan and further commence our operations. We plan to employ more qualified employees in the near future.

Year Four Expenses and Forecast
We cannot predict our year four of business operations as among other things the fluctuation of the currencies and the selling price of wool will determine the results of year four. If the company is successful in reaching its forecasted sales numbers in year three it will be in a position to borrow from banks to aid expansion in addition to growing by way of raising capital through the equity markets. The company may issue a dividend to shareholders in year four if possible.
6
There are many factors that could have a substantial impact on our estimates in our business plan and forecasts discussed above including but not limited to:
|
●
|
Our ability to raise capital;
|
|
●
|
The wholesale and retail price fluctuations of wool;
|
|
●
|
Expenses that we estimated incorrectly; and
|
|
●
|
Unforeseen expenses we failed to foresee
|
The aforementioned factors could cause the numbers set forth in this section to change.
Limited Operating History
We have generated no independent financial history and have not previously demonstrated that we will be able to expand our business. Our business is subject to risks inherent in growing an enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible rejection of our business model and/or sales methods.
Recent Development
Due to our inability to obtain adequate financing and therefore our inability to successfully implement our business plan, it is possible that we may need to cease operations and pursue a potential reverse acquisition candidate.
Results of Operations
For the years ended April 30, 2012 and April 30, 2011, we had no revenues. Operating expenses for the year ended April 30, 2012 totaled $57,899, resulting in a loss of $57,899. Operating expenses of $57,899 for the year ended April 30, 2012 consisted of $1,059 for general and administrative expenses and $56,840 for professional fees. Operating expenses for the year ended April 30, 2011 totaled $32,849, resulting in a loss of $32,849. Operating expenses of $32,849 for the year ended April 30, 2011 consisted of $4,455 for general and administrative expenses and $28,394 for professional fees.
For the period from May 12, 2009 (inception), to April 30, 2012, we had no revenues. Expenses for the period totaled $101,914, resulting in a net loss of $101,914. Expenses for the period consisted of $90,625 in professional fees and $11,289 for General and Administrative expenses.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
As of April 30, 2012 we have $273 cash on hand.
Ian Raleigh and Michael Raleigh are the only employees initially as the company seeks contracts. Additionally there will be little if any capital expenditures due to the nature of the business. Finally, it should be noted that materials will be bought on an as needed basis and will be purchased as a part of a contract with either cash on hand or a receivable in place.
Based upon the above, we believe that we have enough cash to support our daily operations while we are attempting to commence operations and produce revenues. However, if we are unable to satisfy our cash requirements we may be unable to proceed with our plan of operations. We also do not expect any significant additions to the number of employees. The foregoing represents our best estimate of our cash needs based on current planning and business conditions. In the event we are not successful in reaching our initial revenue targets, additional funds may be required, and we may not be able to proceed with our business plan for the development and marketing of our core services. Should this occur, we will suspend or cease operations.
7
We anticipate that depending on market conditions and our plan of operations, we may incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. Therefore, our auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our liquidity may be negatively impacted by the significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Palmerston Stock Agency, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Palmerston Stock Agency, Inc. (a development stage company) (the "Company") as of April 30, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficiency), and cash flows for each of the years then ended and the period from May 12, 2009 (inception) to April 30, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of April 30, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then and for the period from May 12, 2009 (inception) to April 30, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company is in the development stage, has no established source of revenue and is dependent on its ability to raise capital from stockholders or other sources to sustain operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

PALMERSTON STOCK AGENCY, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
April 30, 2012
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
Palmerston Stock Agency, Inc. (the “Company,” ”We,” “Ours,” “Us”), a development stage company, was incorporated on May 12, 2009 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company was formed to commence business as a stock agent in the wool trade. We have developed contacts in the industry through our experience and background in the wool trade. Through these contacts we intend to buy sheared grease wool direct from farmers in the Manawatu-Wanganui region of New Zealand and eventually expand to Australia as we grow our business operations. We intend to oversee the purchase of the wool, process the wool and separate it for sale at auction or sell direct to the textile manufacturing industry. We anticipate consulting with representatives in Asia and Europe to assist marketing our product to the textile manufacturing industry.
Initial operations have included organization and incorporation, target market identification, marketing plans, and capital formation. A substantial portion of the Company’s activities has involved developing a business plan and establishing contacts and visibility in the marketplace. The Company has generated no revenues since inception.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF ACCONTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
Development Stage Company
The Company is a development stage company and has recognized no revenue, is still devoting substantially all of its efforts on establishing the business and its planned principal operations have not commenced. All losses accumulated since inception, have been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.
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 as well as the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Net loss per common share
Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive outstanding shares of common stock during the period.
F-6
There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding as of April 30, 2012.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method to measure and record deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the future income tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and are measured using enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. 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.
The Company had adopted the provisions of Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainties in tax positions and requires that the Company recognizes in its financial statements the impact of an uncertain tax position, if that position has more likely than not chance of not being sustained on audit, based on technical merits of that position. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
The Company is subject to the United States federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for the 2011 and 2010 tax years.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued for possible disclosure and recognition in the financial statements. No events or transactions were identified during the period that require disclosure and recognition.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $101,914, a net loss and net cash used in operations of $57,899 and $19,040 for the year ended April 30, 2012, and of $32,849 and $29,939 for the year ended April 30, 2011 and of $101,914 and $59,791 for the period from May 12, 2009 (Inception) to April 30, 2012, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
NOTE 4 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Preferred stock
Preferred stock includes 100,000,000 shares authorized at a par value of $0.0001, of which none are issued or outstanding.
Common stock
Common Stock includes 200,000,000 shares authorized at a par value of $0.0001, of which 10,000,000 have been issued for the amount of $1,000 on May 12, 2009 to the Company’s officers as founders’ shares.
F-7
On January 21, 2010, the Company issued 4,000,000 shares of common stock for cash in the amount of $40,000, or $0.01 per share.
On September 23, 2010, the Company issued 375,000 shares of common stock for cash in the amount of $3,750, or $0.01 per share.
For the period from May 12, 2009 (inception) through April 30, 2012, the Company received advances from its founder of $16,146 in aggregate for working capital purposes, which were recorded as contribution of capital.
NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax assets
At April 30, 2012, the Company had net operating loss (“NOL”) carry–forwards for Federal income tax purposes of $101,914 that may be offset against future taxable income through 2032. No tax benefit has been reported with respect to these net operating loss carry-forwards in the accompanying financial statements because the Company believes that the realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets of approximately $34,651 and $14,965 as of April 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, was not considered more likely than not and accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net loss carry-forwards are fully offset by a valuation allowance of $34,651 and $14,965 as of April 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, we are responsible for conducting an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures means that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to our company, including any consolidating subsidiaries, and was made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of April 30, 2012 due to the material weaknesses indentified below.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
As of April 30, 2012, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and effected by the Company’s Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
o Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets;
9
o Provide reasonable assurance our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
o Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statement.
In evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer who also serves as our principal accounting officer, Mr. Ian Raleigh concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were ineffective 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: (i) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a 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; (ii) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (iii) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in connection with the review of our financial statements as of April 30, 2012.
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.
Our management has begun evaluating remedies to reduce these deficiencies. However, we will not be able to implement any remedial measures, such as appointing independent members on our board of directors, until we have sufficient fund to do so.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report (the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
None.
PART III
The following table sets forth the name and age of our officer and director as of July 16, 2012. Our executive officer and director is elected annually by our Board of Directors. Our executive officer hold their offices until they resign, are removed by the Board, or his or her successor is elected and qualified.

Set forth below is a brief description of the background and business experience of our executive officer and director for the past five years.
Ian Raleigh, President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, and Director, age 75
Ian Raleigh, our President was born in Pahiatua, New Zealand in 1936. Ian was raised on his parents’ 1800 acre sheep farming community of Tiraumea. Ian worked on his parents’ farm until the early 1980's until he purchased his own 1200 acres in the nearby town of Pongoroa where he raises and breeds sheep for wool production. Ian presently has over 3000 sheep that are bread for wool production and breeding.
Ian Raleigh has never acted as a promoter of any company nor has he had a controlling interest in any company. In addition Mr. Raleigh may be deemed a promoter as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933.
Term of Office
Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board.
Employment Agreements
We currently do not have an employment agreement with Mr. Ian Raleigh and Mr. Michael Raleigh.
Family Relationships
Because Mr. Raleigh serves as our sole executive officer and director, there are no family relationships between our director and executive officer.
Certain Legal Proceedings
To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers has, during the past ten years:
|
·
|
been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);
|

|
|
·
|
been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction or federal or state authority, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting, his involvement in any type of business, securities, futures, commodities, investment, banking, savings and loan, or insurance activities, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity;
|
|

|
been found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated;
|
|
·
|

|
|
·
|

|
11
Except as set forth in our discussion below in “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,” none of our directors or executive officers has been involved in any transactions with us or any of our directors, executive officers, affiliates or associates which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock to file initial reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. To the Company’s knowledge based our review of copies of such reports furnished to us, all of the Company’s current directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of our common stock have complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements with respect to the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012.
Code of Ethics
We have not adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions, because of the small number of persons involved in the management of the Company.
Board Committees
Our Board of Directors has no separate committees and our Board of Directors acts as the audit committee and the compensation committee. We do not have an audit committee financial expert serving on our Board of Directors.
The following summary compensation table sets forth all compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to the named executive officers paid by us during the year ended April 30, 2012.

Related Party Transactions
Other than compensation described under “Executive Compensation”, there is no transaction since the beginning of the fiscal year of 2011, or any currently proposed transaction, in which the Company was to be a participant and the amount involved exceeded or exceeds $120,000 and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest .
Audit Fees
For the Company’s fiscal years ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, we were billed approximately $9,500 and $9,100 for professional services rendered for the audit and interim review of our financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Audit-Related Fees
There were no fees for audit related services for the years ended April 30, 2012 and 2011.
Tax Fees and Other Fees
For the Company’s fiscal year ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, there were no fees billed for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning or other services.
Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before our auditor is engaged by us to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be:
|
·
|
approved by our audit committee; or
|
|
·
|
entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the audit committee, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the audit committee is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the audit committee’s responsibilities to management.
|
13
We do not have an audit committee. Our entire board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. The pre-approval process has just been implemented in response to the new rules. Therefore, our board of directors does not have records of what percentage of the above fees was pre-approved. However, all of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the entire board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.
