1.Basis of Presentation and Company Overview

 

On June 5, 2013, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement between Universe Capital Partners, LLC and the selling shareholders named therein, Universe Capital Partners LLC (“UCP”) purchased 37,650,000 shares of common stock of the Company, representing 99.1% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, for a purchase price of $238,000, resulting in a change in control of the Company. In connection with the change of control, UCP Holdings, Inc. changed its business plan from the acquisition and exploration of mining properties to a holding company that will invest in a broad range of asset classes.  Effective June 24, 2013, UCP Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as Northridge Ventures Inc.) (the “Company”) filed Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of Nevada, pursuant to which the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, UCP Holdings, Inc. (formed solely for the purpose of effecting a change in the name of the Company), merged into the Company and the Company changed its name from Northridge Ventures Inc. to UCP Holdings, Inc.

 

The Company’s primary objective is positioning itself as an investment firm with sustainable and steady growth, and a unique, competitive investment approach, including with respect to both public and private equity, and diversified capabilities.

 

On August 12, 2013, the Company entered into and closed a share exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Sinan Bilgin (the “Shareholder”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Shareholder transferred to the Company 700,000 shares of common stock of Cosmos Yatirim Ortakligi A.S. (“Cosmos”), representing approximately 11.67% of the outstanding shares of Cosmos, in exchange for 1,500,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock. Cosmos is an investment company based in Istanbul, Turkey that invests in a variety of security types in Turkey. Cosmos is traded on the Turkish Stock Exchange.

 

During the period of September 18, 2013 through November 25, 2013, the Company sold all of its holdings of the common stock of Cosmos Yatirim Ortakligi A.S. (“Cosmos”) so as to avoid being an inadvertent investment company. The Company completed the disposition of such assets on November 25, 2013 and received a total net proceeds of $305,772 from such sales.

 

On October 10, 2013, Russell Covrarrubia resigned as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Nicholas John Lethbridge King was elected President and Chief Executive Office of the Company.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2013. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All normal recurring adjustments which are necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the interim periods are reflected herein. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended November 30, 2013 and 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year.

 

2.Going Concern and Management's Plans

 

The Company's financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. In addition, as of November 30, 2013, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $3,531,967, had incurred a net loss for the six months ended November 30, 2013 of $3,070,387. The Company had cash of $24,568 as of November 30, 2013 compared to $0 assets for the year ended May 31, 2013. The Company has not generated positive cash flows from operations since inception. 

 

There can be no assurance that the Company’s future cash flow will be sufficient to meet its obligations and commitments. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future to service its commitments the Company will be required to seek alternatives, such as seeking to raise debt or equity capital, curtailing its planned activities or ceasing its operations. There can be no assurance that any such actions could be effected on a timely basis or on satisfactory terms or at all, or that these actions would enable the Company to continue to satisfy its capital requirements.

 

The Company’s core business strategy is to leverage its proprietary resources with the objective of generating both current income and capital appreciation by deploying capital pursuant to its strategies, which include direct equity investments, including in the form of buy-outs, leveraged buy-out, mergers and acquisitions, bank loans and high yield securities, natural resources, special situations, mezzanine, commercial real estate and private equity holdings.

UCP Holdings, Inc.

(A Development Stage Company)

 

The Company’s holdings across these strategies may primarily consist of investment grade and liquid asset acquisitions, high yield debt securities, secured senior hybrid security subscriptions, private equity, interests in joint ventures and partnerships, and working and royalty interests in oil and gas properties. The high earning and negotiable assets that the Company would hold are typically purchased via assignment or participation in the primary or secondary market. The Company intends to hold such assets so as to fall outside the threshold requiring it to register under Investment Company Act 1940. To date, the Company has completed the acquisition of an interest in Cosmos Yatirim Ortakligi A.S., an investment company based in Istanbul, Turkey that invests in a variety of security types in Turkey and has sold its holding in that company for a total net proceeds of $305,772.

 

3.Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including but not limited to those related to revenue recognition, financing operations, income taxes, contingencies and litigation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers financial instruments with maturities of less than three months when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of November 30, 2013 and May 31, 2013. Cash amounted to $24,568 as of November 30, 2013.

 

Loss per Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares (including redeemable shares) plus dilutive potential common shares outstanding using the treasury stock method. Any potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net losses. For the years presented, there is no difference between the basic and diluted net loss per share.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.

 

Development Stage Reporting

 

The Company is a development stage enterprise as defined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915 “Development Stage Entities” (“ASC 915”). Accordingly, the Company has not yet commenced its fully planned operations. The Company is subject to all of the risks and uncertainties that are typical in the life-cycle stage of its business. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to commence its fully planned operations or that the commencement will actually result in the realization of its business objectives.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company measures its compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognizes the compensation expense over the requisite service period pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Expenses associated with such grants are generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, net of estimated forfeitures.

UCP Holdings, Inc.

(A Development Stage Company)

 

On September 19, 2013, UCP transferred an aggregate of 6,375,000 shares of UCPH common stock it held to three employees as compensation and a vendor for services rendered. The shares of common stock are fully vested and valued upon date of transfer. The common shares are valued at $0.35 per share and the Company recognized $2,231,250 in compensation expense, included in the change in additional paid in capital, associated with the transfer of shares to the parties.

 

On November 22, 2013, the Company granted 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to John P. Correnti, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer. The common shares were fully vested on the date of grant.  The fair value of the common shares issued was based upon the closing price of common shares on the date of grant ($0.25 per share).  Accordingly, the Company recorded $500,000 of stock based compensation expense, included in the change in additional paid in capital, during the three months ended November 30, 2013.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a significant effect to the accompanying financial statements.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing US GAAP that requires the use of fair value measurements which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.

 

ASC 820 defines fair value 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. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

 

In addition, FASB ASC 825-10-25 “Fair Value Option” was effective for January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10-25 expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.

 

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their estimated fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

4.Investments at Fair Value

 

On August 12, 2013, the Company entered into and closed a share exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Sinan Bilgin (the “Shareholder”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Shareholder transferred to the Company 700,000 shares of common stock of Cosmos Yatirim Ortakligi A.S. (“Cosmos”), representing approximately 11.67% of the outstanding shares of Cosmos, in exchange for 1,500,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock. Cosmos is an investment company based in Istanbul, Turkey that invests in a variety of security types in Turkey. The Company recorded its investment in Cosmos at fair value based upon the closing price of Cosmos on the Istanbul Stock Exchange.

 

During the quarter ended November 30, 2013, the Company sold all of its holdings of the common stock of Cosmos Yatirim Ortakligi A.S. (“Cosmos”) so as to avoid being an inadvertent investment company. The Company completed the disposition of such assets on November 25, 2013 and received a total net proceeds of $305,772 from such sales and recognized a loss on disposition of $29,542.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of UCP Holdings, Inc. for the period ended November 30, 2013 contains forward-looking statements, principally in this Section and “Business.” Generally, you can identify these statements because they use words like “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” and similar terms. These statements reflect only our current expectations. Although we do not make forward-looking statements unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy and actual results may differ materially from those we anticipated due to a number of uncertainties, many of which are unforeseen, including, among others, the risks we face as described in this filing. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which apply only as of the date of this annual report. To the extent that such statements are not recitations of historical fact, such statements constitute forward-looking statements that, by definition, involve risks and uncertainties.

Overview

 

UCP Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) plans to operate as a holding company with expertise in a broad range of asset classes. On June 5, 2013, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement between Universe Capital Partners, LLC and the selling shareholders named, Universe Capital Partners LLC (“UCP”) purchased 37,650,000 shares of common stock of the Company, representing 99.1% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, for a purchase price of $238,000, resulting in a change in control of the Company. In connection with the change of control, the Company changed its name from Northridge Ventures Inc. to UCP Holdings, Inc. and changed its business plan from the acquisition and exploration of mining properties to a holding company.

 

The Company’s primary objective is positioning itself as an investment firm with sustainable and steady growth, and a unique, competitive investment approach, including with respect to both public and private equity, and diversified capabilities. The Company intends to invest in majority and minority interest in companies both in the U.S. and elsewhere keeping to a level of holdings whereby the Company always falls outside the threshold requiring it to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

 

On August 12, 2013, the Company entered into and closed a share exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Sinan Bilgin (the “Shareholder”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Shareholder transferred to the Company 700,000 shares of common stock of Cosmos Yatirim Ortakligi A.S. (“Cosmos”), representing approximately 11.67% of the outstanding shares of Cosmos, in exchange for 1,500,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock. Cosmos is an investment company based in Istanbul, Turkey that invests in a variety of security types in Turkey.

 

During the period of September 18, 2013 through November 25, 2013, the Company sold all of its holdings of the common stock of Cosmos Yatirim Ortakligi A.S. (“Cosmos”) so as to avoid being an inadvertent investment company. The Company completed the disposition of such assets on November 25, 2013 and received a total net proceeds of $305,772 from such sales.

 

On October 10, 2013, Russell Covrarrubia resigned as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Nicholas John Lethbridge King was elected President and Chief Executive Office of the Company.

 

On November 22, 2013, the Company granted 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to John P. Correnti, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer. The common shares were fully vested on the date of grant.  The fair value of the common shares issued was based upon the closing price of common shares on the date of grant ($0.25 per share).  Accordingly, the Company recorded $500,000 of stock based compensation expense, included in the change in additional paid in capital, during the three months ended November 30, 2013.

 

Results of Operations

 

There were no revenues generated during the periods ended November 30, 2013 and 2012 and an immaterial amount from the period March 18, 2003 (inception) through November 30, 2013.

We posted an operating loss of $2,982,316 and $3,040,845 for the three and six months ended November 30, 2013, due primarily to legal and accounting fees of $218,446. On September 10, 2013, UCP transferred an aggregate of 6,375,000 shares of common stock of which three employees received 6 million shares of common stock as compensation and one vendor received 375,000 shares of common stock for services rendered. The shares of common stock are fully vested and valued upon date of transfer. The common shares are valued at $0.35 per share and we recognized $2,231,250 in compensation expense associated with the transfer of shares to the parties. On November 22, 2013, we granted 2,000,000 shares of our common stock to John P. Correnti, our Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer. The common shares were fully vested on the date of grant.  The fair value of the common shares issued was based upon the closing price of common shares on the date of grant ($0.25 per share).  Accordingly, we recorded $500,000 of stock based compensation expense during the three months ended November 30, 2013.

 

In July 2013, the Company entered into an Assignment of Office Services Agreement with Universe Capital Partners, LLC, an affiliate of the Company, with a commencement date of July 22, 2013 and an expiration date of December 31, 2013. The monthly rental payment due is approximately $2,100.

 

We recorded our investment in Cosmos at fair value based upon the closing price of Cosmos on the Istanbul Stock Exchange. From August 12, 2013 through November 30, 2013, the Company recorded a $29,542 realized loss.

As of November 30, 2013, we had $24,568 of current assets and $53,421 of current liabilities. Cash was $24,568 as of November 30, 2013.

 

On October 11, 2010, the Company sold 13,200,000 shares of common stock at $0.005 per share through a private placement to a controlling shareholder. The gross proceeds of the private placement were $66,000.

 

In January 2012, the Company received fully paid subscriptions for 24,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.005 per share through a registered public offering by a Form S-1 registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 that was declared effective by the SEC on January 4, 2012. The gross proceeds of the public offering was $120,000.

  

On June 5, 2013, pursuant to a securities purchase agreement between Universe Capital Partners, LLC and the selling shareholders named therein, Universe Capital Partners LLC (“UCP”) purchased 37,650,000 shares of common stock of the Company representing 99.1% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, for a purchase price of $238,000, resulting in a change in control of the Company.

 

During the three months ended November 30, 2013, the Company sold all of its holdings of the common stock of Cosmos Yatirim Ortakligi A.S. (“Cosmos”) so as to avoid being an inadvertent investment company. The Company completed the disposition of such assets on November 25, 2013 and received a total net proceeds of $305,772 from such sales.

 

Since UCP acquired a controlling interest in the Company in June 2013, it has funded the Company’s working capital expenses, including officer compensation, rent, and other incidental expenses. We will need to raise additional financing to implement our business plan. There is no assurance financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by the quarterly report, being November 30, 2013, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our company's disclosure controls and procedures.

Based upon that evaluation, our company's president concluded that our company's disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as at the end of the period covered by this report. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Based on this evaluation and those criteria, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as November 30, 2013, due to the following deficiencies:

·Insufficient controls and management review over the recording of certain transactions.
·Lack of accounting personnel with appropriate level of knowledge and experience in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and SEC Reporting, and the related accounting systems and closing process.

Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to permanent rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this quarterly report.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures and other procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our president and secretary as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
