REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED

PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Stockholders of

EmployUS Ltd. f/k/a EmployUS, LLC

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of EmployUS Ltd. f/k/a EmployUS, LLC (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 audits 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 audits 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 EmployUS Ltd. f/k/a EmployUS, LLC as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

EmployUS Ltd. f/k/a EmployUS, LLC
       
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
       
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011

 

Note 1 - Description of Business

 

EmployUS Ltd. f/k/a EmployUS, LLC (the “Company”), a Delaware Limited Liability Company, was formed on September 30, 2010 having a perpetual existence and is a full service turnkey staffing company. Initially established to respond to the relief and recovery of the major oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the Company has since expanded to provide services on most major construction, chemical, and maritime projects in the Southeast United States. From its single initial project three years ago, the Company has aggressively grown to ten offices in three states, with more than 150 customers and over 3,000 people employed in 2012. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

 

Effective July 1, 2013, the Company changed its corporate status from a limited liability company to a “C” corporation and its state of registration from Delaware to Nevada. As a result of these changes, the new name of the Company is EmployUS Ltd. The total number of authorized shares of common stock is 200,000,000 having a par value of $0.001 per share. The two members of the Company, each owning 50%, received 15,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Since EmployUS, LLC and EmployUS Ltd. had common ownership, the initial basis of the assets and liabilities recorded by EmployUS, Ltd were the historical carrying value of these assets and liabilities of EmployUS, LLC. The Company has also retroactively reflected the issuance of the shares of common stock to the members of EmployUS, LLC as if the transaction occurred on January 1, 2011.

 

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant matters requiring the use of estimates and assumptions include, but may not be limited to, accounts receivable allowances and evaluation of impairment of long-lived assets. Management believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, based on information that is available at the time they are made.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
       
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011

 

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Contract staffing service revenues are recognized when services are rendered. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605 “Revenue Recognition”, which requires that four basic criteria be met before revenue can be recognized: (i) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (ii) the price is fixed or determinable; (iii) collectability is reasonably assured; and (iv) services have been rendered.

 

Cost of Contract Staffing Services

 

The cost of contract staffing services includes the wages, related payroll taxes, and employee benefits of the Company’s employees while they work on contract assignments for the period in which the related revenue is recognized.

 

Income Taxes

 

For the period prior to July 1, 2013, the Company was not subject to Federal and State income taxes, as it was a limited liability company. Each member was responsible for the tax liability, if any, related to its proportionate share of the Company’s taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes was reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The Company had concluded that it was a pass-through entity, and there were no uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements.

 

Effective July 1, 2013, the Company changed its corporate status from a limited liability company to a “C” corporation and its state of registration from Delaware to Nevada. The Company is subject to file tax returns in the states of Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi. Generally, federal, state and local authorities may examine the Company’s tax returns for three years from the date of filing and the current and prior three years remain subject to examination as of December 31, 2012.

 

The Company’s conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment as a later date based upon ongoing analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof as well as other factors. If the Company were to incur an income tax liability in the future, interest on any income tax liability would be reported as interest expense and penalties on any income tax liability would be reported as selling, general and administrative expenses.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
       
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011

 

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased as cash equivalents. At times throughout the year, the Company might maintain bank balances that may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insured limits. Periodically, the Company evaluates the credit worthiness of the financial institutions, and has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, Customer A accounted for 16.2% and 14.3% of the Company’s net revenue, respectively. Customer A’s accounts receivable was 25.7% and 20.0% of the Company’s total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Customer B accounted for approximately 18.6% of the Company’s net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012, Customer C accounted for approximately 11.0% of the Company’s net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011. Customer D accounted for 13.0% and 16.4% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company extends credit to its customers based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and ability to pay the Company in accordance with the payment terms. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded as a charge to bad debt expense where collection is considered doubtful due to credit issues. This allowance reflects management’s estimate of the potential losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance, based on historical loss statistics and known factors impacting its customers. The nature of the contract service business, where companies are dependent on employees for their production cycle, generally results in a nominal provision for doubtful accounts. Based on management’s review of accounts receivable, an allowance for doubtful accounts of $215,064 and $206,342 was considered necessary as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company charges uncollectible accounts against the allowance once the invoices are deemed unlikely to be collectible. The Company does not accrue interest on past due receivables.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred, while renewals and betterments that materially extend the life of an asset are capitalized.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
       
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011

 

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Property and Equipment (continued)

 

The costs of assets sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of, and the related allowance for depreciation, are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the results from operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are as follows:

 

Computer and office equipment   5 years
Furniture and fixtures   7 years
Leasehold improvements

Shorter of improvements’ useful life

or initial lease term

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s long-lived assets may be impaired. An asset’s value may be impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows, on an undiscounted basis, to be generated by the asset are less than the carrying value of the asset.

 

If impairment has occurred, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. The Company’s estimates of aggregate future cash flows expected to be generated by each long-lived asset are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in their impairment analyses may not be achieved. No impairment was identified during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s financial statements for accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the immediate or short-term nature of these financial instruments.  The carry amounts reported in the balance sheet for its line of credit approximates fair value as the contractual interest rate and features are consistent with similar instruments of similar risk in the market place. The Company’s short term financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, each of which approximate their fair values based upon their short term nature. The carrying value of these instruments approximate fair value as they bear terms and conditions comparable to market, for obligations with similar terms and maturities.

Advertising

 

The Company charges advertising costs to expense as incurred. Advertising costs were $4,930 and $66,702 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Recently Issued Authoritative Guidance

 

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS,” (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. This new guidance is to be applied prospectively. This guidance was effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2012. The adoption of this standard did not materially affect the Company’s financial statements.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

 

 

Note 3 - Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of $1,223,244. The Company had a net loss of $191,223 and $1,810,945 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. At December 31, 2012, the Company had a working capital deficit of $482,735 compared to $1,106,512 at December 31, 2011. The Company’s’ stockholders’ deficit is primarily due to, among other reasons, penalties and interest relating to unpaid payroll tax liabilities in 2011, a bad debt of approximately $206,000 on one receivable, which accounted for 13.0% of the total receivables, and an increase in staff payroll and rent, due to an expansion of operations. The Company’s liquidity and capital resources have decreased significantly as a result of the net operating losses the Company incurred during the years ended December 31 2012 and 2011. The Company is currently delinquent with past due payroll tax liabilities from 2010 and 2011 however, since late 2011 the Company has been remitting payroll taxes on a current basis. The Company is uncertain that it will be able to generate operating profits on a sustainable basis, or at all, as the Company continues to expand its infrastructure and further develop its marketing efforts.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011

 

Note 3 - Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

 

Although the Company can provide no assurances, it believes its cash on hand, and anticipated cash flow from operations, will provide sufficient liquidity and capital resources to fund its business for at least the next twelve months, as a result of new and substantial contracts entered into in 2013. In the event the Company continues to experience liquidity and capital resources constraints because of continuing operating losses, greater than anticipated sales growth or otherwise, the Company may need to raise additional capital in the form of equity and/or debt financing. If such additional capital is not available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all, then the Company may need to curtail its operations and/or take additional measures to conserve and manage its liquidity and capital resources, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Note 4 - Due from Related Party

 

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had a balance due from a real estate entity owned by Brent Callais, the Company’s chairman and one of its stockholders. The funds owed by the real estate entity were used to finance its purchase of a corporate office building, in which the Company also leased part of the space for its corporate headquarters.

 

During November 2012, the real estate entity sold the building at an amount which was less than the corresponding mortgage, and, as such, the Company wrote off $166,431, the remaining balance of the advance. Such amount is included in other expense in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

 

Note 5 - Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment consisted of the following as of December 31, 2012 and 2011:

 

   2012   2011 
Furniture and fixtures  $24,484   $24,484 
Computer equipment and software   7,154    7,154 
Office equipment   13,944    13,944 
Leasehold improvements   --    28,368 
    45,582    73,950 
Less:  accumulated depreciation   (12,045)   (5,619)
           
Property and Equipment, Net  $33,537   $68,331 

 

Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $17,386 and $5,614, respectively.

Note 6 - Line of Credit

 

In October 2011, the Company entered into an account purchase agreement with Crestmark Bank (“Crestmark”) to provide working capital financing. The account purchase agreement allows Crestmark to advance the Company funds on eligible accounts receivable at its sole discretion. The term of the facility is three years with an interest rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 2.75% per annum (6% floor), a maintenance fee of 0.6% per month of the average monthly loan balance, and a facility fee equal to 1% of the maximum loan amount. The line is secured by collateral consisting of all of the Company’s assets. The Company is currently compliant with all covenants. The balance due to Crestmark as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $1,017,897 and $487,591 respectively. Interest and fees paid to Crestmark for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $246,597 and $29,988, respectively, which were satisfied by additional borrowings under the line of credit.

 

Note 7 - Due to Stockholder

 

There is a total due to a stockholder of the Company of $429,373 and $423,652 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, arising from cash advances made to the Company for working capital purposes. These balances included accrued interest in the amount of 9% per annum, which aggregated $21,540 in 2012 and $2,276 in 2011.
