PART I
Item 1. Business
Sunstock, Inc., formerly known as Sandgate Acquisition Corporation ("Sunstock" or the "Company") was incorporated on July 23, 2012 under the laws of the State of Delaware to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. Sunstock has been in the developmental stage since inception and its operations to date have been limited to issuing shares to its founding shareholders and outside investors, filing a registration statement, and opening its first discount retail stores in February 2014 and May 2014. Sunstock was originally formed to provide a method for a foreign or domestic private company to become a reporting company with a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The Company registered its common stock on a Form 10 registration statement filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and Rule 12(g) thereof. The Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission periodic and current reports under Rule 13(a) of the Exchange Act, including quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual reports Form 10-K.
The Company has no employees and two officers and directors.
The former president of Sunstock is the president, director and shareholder of Tiber Creek Corporation. Tiber Creek Corporation assists companies in becoming public reporting companies and with introductions to the financial community. To become a public company, Tiber Creek Corporation may recommend that a company file a registration statement, most likely on Form S-1, or alternatively that a company first effect a business combination with Sunstock and then subsequently file a registration statement. A company may choose to effect a business combination with Sunstock before filing a registration statement as such method may be an effective way to obtain exposure to the brokerage community.
Tiber Creek will typically enter into an agreement with the target company for assisting it to become a public reporting company and for the preparation and filing of a registration statement and the introduction to brokers and market makers. The target company pays Tiber Creek Corporation for such services. Such services include, if appropriate, the use of Sunstock. Sunstock will only be used as part of such process and is not offered for sale. If the target company chooses to enter into business combination with Sunstock, the registration statement will be prepared after such business combination. The terms of a business combination may provide for redemption of all or part of their stock in Sunstock, usually at par.
A combination will normally take the form of a merger, stock-for-stock exchange or stock-for-assets exchange. In most instances the target company will wish to structure the business combination to be within the definition of a tax-free reorganization under Section 351 or Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
As of December 31, 2013, Sunstock had not generated revenues and had no income or cash flows from operations since inception. At December 31, 2013, Sunstock had sustained a net loss of $157,319 and had accumulated a deficit of $158,676.
The Company's independent auditors have issued a report raising substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. At present, the Company has limited operations and the continuation of Sunstock as a going concern is dependent upon the profitability of its current and planned discount retail stores, financial support from its stockholders, its ability to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations and/or to successfully locate and negotiate with a business entity for the combination of that target company with Sunstock.
There is no assurance that Sunstock will ever be profitable.
Item 2. Properties
The Company entered into a retail shop lease agreement dated October 31, 2013 requiring monthly payments of $3,733 for thirty-six months beginning February 2014. The store space consists of approximately 2,239 square feet and is located at 4215 Norwood Avenue, Suite 01B, Sacramento, California, 85838.
The Company entered into a retail shop lease in April 8, 2014 for sixty-seven months beginning May 2014 for approximately 4,756 square feet. The monthly base rent for this location is currently $4,756, with seven months of free rent throughout the first eleven months. The base rent will gradually increase until the term expires in 2019. The property is located at 2265 Watt Avenue, Sacramento, California, 95825.
The Company has no other properties and at this time has no agreements to acquire any properties.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
In April 2014, the Company received notice that a shareholder had filed a lawsuit against the Company. The Company estimates the cost of this lawsuit will be approximately $55,200, and has reflected this amount in accrued litigation on its balance sheet as of December 31, 2013.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not applicable.
PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
There is currently no public market for the Company's securities.
Following a business combination, a target company will normally wish to cause the Company's common stock to trade in one or more United States securities markets. The target company may elect to take the steps required for such admission to quotation following the business combination or at some later time.
At such time as it qualifies, the Company may choose to apply for quotation of its securities on the OTC Bulletin Board.
The OTC Bulletin Board is a dealer-driven quotation service. Unlike the Nasdaq Stock Market, companies cannot directly apply to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, only market makers can initiate quotes, and quoted companies do not have to meet any quantitative financial requirements. Any equity security of a reporting company not listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market or on a national securities exchange is eligible.
As such time as it qualifies, the Company may choose to apply for quotation of its securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
In general there is greatest liquidity for traded securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market and less on the OTC Bulletin Board. It is not possible to predict where, if at all, the securities of the Company will be traded following a business combination.
Since inception, the Company has sold securities which were not registered as follows:

Item 6. Selected Financial Data.
There is no selected financial data required to be filed for a smaller reporting company.
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Sunstock, Inc., formerly Sandgate Acquisition Corporation ("Sunstock") was incorporated on July 23, 2012 under the laws of the State of Delaware to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions.
Since inception Sunstock has been in the developmental stage and its operations to date have been limited to issuing shares of common stock and filing a registration statement on Form 10 with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended to register its class of common stock. The Company also has opened its first discount retail store in February 2014.
Sunstock had been formed to provide a method for a foreign or domestic private company to become a reporting company with a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
With the redemption of 19,500,000 shares of stock and the issuance of the 1,000,000 shares of stock, on July 19, 2013 the Company effected a change in its control and the new majority shareholder(s) elected new management of the Company. A Form 8-K was filed on July 22, 2013 noticing the change in control and the resignation of the then officers and directors and election of new directors and officers.
New management intends to develop the Company for the acquisition and operation of hotels, discount retail stores, and residential properties in the high demand areas of California, particularly Southern California and the San Francisco Bay Area. In September 2013, new management developed plans to open and operate two retail stores in Sacramento, California. On October 30, 2013, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with Dollar Store Services, Inc. to develop, design and build out a retail store which the Company began operating in February 2014. Additionally, the Company entered into a lease agreement on October 30, 2013 for 2,239 square feet of retail shop space for this store in Sacramento, California. The lease requires monthly payments for rent and maintenance of $3,733 for thirty six months beginning February 2014.
Management opened an additional retail store in Sacramento, California in May of 2014 and entered into a retail shop lease for sixty-seven months beginning May 2014 for approximately 4,756 square feet. The monthly base rent for this location is currently $4,756, with seven months of free rent throughout the first eleven months. The base rent will gradually increase until the term expires in 2019.
As of the date of this report, no business combinations have been entered into or effected. When any such business combination is effected, if any, the Company will file a Form 8-K.
The most likely target companies are those seeking the perceived benefits of a reporting corporation. Such perceived benefits may include facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be sought, providing liquidity for incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, increasing the opportunity to use securities for acquisitions, providing liquidity for shareholders and other factors.
Business opportunities may be available in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities difficult and complex.
In analyzing prospective business opportunities, Sunstock may consider such matters as the available technical, financial and managerial resources; working capital and other financial requirements; history of operations, if any; prospects for the future; nature of present and expected competition; the quality and experience of management services which may be available and the depth of that management; the potential for further research, development, or exploration; specific risk factors not now foreseeable but which may be anticipated; the potential for growth or expansion; the potential for profit; the perceived public recognition or acceptance of products, services, or trades; name identification; and other relevant factors. This discussion of the proposed criteria is not meant to be restrictive of the virtually unlimited discretion of Sunstock to search for and enter into potential business opportunities.
A combination will normally take the form of a merger, stock-for-stock exchange or stock-for-assets exchange. In most instances the target company will wish to structure the business combination to be within the definition of a tax-free reorganization under Section 351 or Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Sunstock has, and will continue to have, limited capital with which to provide the owners of business entities with any cash or other assets.
As of December 31, 2013, Sunstock has not generated revenues and has no income or cash flows from operations since inception. The continuation of Sunstock as a going concern is dependent upon financial support from its stockholders, its ability to obtain necessary equity financing, and its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from its newly planned discount retail stores to continue operations.
Tiber Creek Corporation, a corporation solely owned by the former president of the Company, a former majority shareholder of the Company and a current owner of 250,000 shares of the Company, paid, without expectation of repayment at any time, all expenses incurred by Sunstock until the change in control.
The Company paid $85,000 to Tiber Creek Corporation for consulting fees which are reflected in operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013.
The Company has sustained operating losses since inception. It has an accumulated deficit of $158,676 as of December 31, 2013. The Company's auditors have issued a note regarding the continuation of the Company as a going concern. Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, and /or obtain additional financing from its stockholders and/or other third parties.
2013 Year-End Analysis
As of December 31, 2013, Sunstock had not generated revenues and had no income or cash flows from operations since inception. For the year ended December 31, 2013, Sunstock had sustained a net loss of $157,319, and had accumulated a deficit of $158,676.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 are attached hereto.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
There were no changes in or disagreements with accountants on accounting and financial disclosure for the period covered by this report.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Pursuant to Rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules. This evaluation was done as of the end of the fiscal year under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's principal executive officer (who is also the principal financial officer). There have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation. Based upon that evaluation, he believes that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in gathering, analyzing and disclosing information needed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in its periodic reports is recorded, summarized and processed timely. The principal executive officer is directly involved in the day-to-day operations of the Company.
Management's Report of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company's officer, its president, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on the criteria establish in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2013, based on those criteria. A control system can provide only reasonably, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues have been detected.
Material Weaknesses:
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The material weaknesses identified are:
1. Inadequate number of personnel that could accurately and timely record and report the Company’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP;
We did not employ an adequate number of people to ensure a control environment that would allow for the accurate and timely reporting of the financial statements.
2. Ineffective controls to ensure that the accounting for transactions are recorded in accordance with GAAP financial statements;
Audit adjustments were made to the general ledger, which collectively could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Notwithstanding the existence of these material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, we believe that the financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Further, we do not believe the material weaknesses identified had an impact on prior financial statements.
Remediation:
As part of our ongoing remedial efforts, we have and will continue to, among other things:
1. Expanded our accounting policy and controls organization by recently hiring qualified accounting and finance personnel;
2. Increase our efforts to educate both our existing and expanded accounting policy and control organization on the application of the internal control structure;
3. Emphasize with management the importance of our internal control structure;
4. Seek outside consulting services where our existing accounting policy and control organization believes the complexity of the existing exceeds our internal capabilities.
5. Plan to implement improved accounting systems.
We believe that the foregoing actions will improve our internal control over financial reporting, as well as our disclosure controls and procedures. We intend to perform such procedures and commit such resources as necessary to continue to allow us to overcome or mitigate these material weaknesses such that we can make timely and accurate quarterly and annual financial filings until such time as those material weaknesses are fully addressed and remediated.
Anton & Chia the independent registered public accounting firm for Sunstock, has not issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of Sunstock's internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during its fourth fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

Management of Sunstock
Sunstock has no full time employees. Jason C. Chang and Dr. Ramnik S. Clair are the officers and directors of Sunstock and shareholders. Mr. Chang, as president of Sunstock, and Mr. Clair as vice president, have allocated time to the activities of Sunstock without compensation.
There are no agreements or understandings for the officer or director to resign at the request of another person and the above- named officer and director is not acting on behalf of nor will act at the direction of any other person.
Set forth below are the names of the directors and officers of the Company, all positions and offices with the Company held, the period during which they have served as such, and the business experience during at least the last five years:
Jason C. Chang, serves as a director, Chief Executive Officer and President of Sunstock. Mr. Chang began his career in the hospitality industry as a child and continuing as an adult working in the family business operating several hotels throughout California. Mr. Chang has now had over 20 years of hospitality management experience. In addition, as an entrepreneur, Mr. Chang has helped fund numerous startup companies, primarily related to the technology sector.
Dr. Ramnik Clair serves as a director and Senior Vice President of Sunstock. Dr. Clair received his medical degree in India and emigrated to the United States in 1983. He completed his medical residency in New York and has subsequently served in his medical practice as a solo practitioner. Dr. Clair intends to assist the Company in building long term relationships with its client base.
Conflicts of Interest
Messrs. Chang and Clair are not directors of, or sole beneficial shareholders of any other companies which have filed registration statements on Form 10 for the registration of their common stock pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act.
There are no binding guidelines or procedures for resolving potential conflicts of interest. Failure by management to resolve conflicts of interest in favor of the Company could result in liability of management to the Company. However, any attempt by shareholders to enforce a liability of management to the Company would most likely be prohibitively expensive and time consuming.
Code of Ethics. The Company has not at this time adopted a Code of Ethics pursuant to rules described in Regulation S-K. The Company has two persons who are the only shareholders and who serve as the directors and officers. The Company has no operations or business and does not receive any revenues or investment capital. The adoption of an Ethical Code at this time would not serve the primary purpose of such a code to provide a manner of conduct as the development, execution and enforcement of such a code would be by the same persons and only persons to whom such code applied. Furthermore, because the Company does not have any activities, there are activities or transactions which would be subject to this code. At the time the Company enters into a business combination or other corporate transaction, the current officers and directors will recommend to any new management that such a code be adopted. The Company does not maintain an Internet website on which to post a code of ethics.
Corporate Governance. For reasons similar to those described above, the Company does not have a nominating nor audit committee of the board of directors. At this time, the Company consists of two shareholders who serve as the corporate directors and officers. The Company has no activities, and receives no revenues. At such time that the Company enters into a business combination and/or has additional shareholders and a larger board of directors and commences activities, the Company will propose creating committees of its board of directors, including both a nominating and an audit committee. Because there are only two shareholders of the Company, there is no established process by which shareholders to the Company can nominate members to the Company's board of directors. Similarly, however, at such time as the Company has more shareholders and an expanded board of directors, the new management of the Company may review and implement, as necessary, procedures for shareholder nomination of members to the Company's board of directors.
Item 11. Executive Compensation
The Company's officers and directors do not receive any compensation for services rendered to the Company, nor have they received such compensation in the past. The officers and directors are not accruing any compensation pursuant to any agreement with the Company.
No retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock option or insurance programs or other similar programs have been adopted by the Company for the benefit of its employees.
The Company does not have a compensation committee for the same reasons as described above.
Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
The following table sets forth, as of December 31, 2013, each person known by the Company to be the beneficial owner of five percent or more of the Company's common stock and the director and officer of the Company. The Company does not have any compensation plans and has not authorized any securities for future issuance. Except as noted, the holder thereof has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence
In July 2012, Sunstock issued a total of 20,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for a total of $2,000 in cash. Of these shares, 19,500,000 were redeemed on July 18, 2013 for an aggregate amount of $1,950.
On July 19, 2013, Sunstock issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to Jason C. Chang, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director, for an aggregate amount of $100.
On October 18, 2013, Sunstock issued 4,200,000 shares of common stock to Jason C. Chang, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director, in exchange for $96,244 of loans Mr. Chang made to the Company. Mr. Chang is a 74% shareholder of Sunstock as of December 31, 2013.
On October 21, 2013, Sunstock issued 240,000 shares of common stock to Dr. Ramnik C. Clair, The Company’s vice president and a director, for an aggregate amount of $60,000. Dr. Clair is a 3% shareholder of Sunstock.
James M. Cassidy is the former president and former director of Sunstock and the sole officer, director and the shareholder of Tiber Creek Corporation, which is a 4% shareholder of Sunstock.
James McKillop is a former vice president and a former director of Sunstock and the sole manager and member of MB Americus LLC, which is a 4% shareholder of Sunstock.
As the organizers and developers of Sunstock, James M. Cassidy and James McKillop may be considered promoters. Mr. Cassidy has provided services to Sunstock without charge consisting of preparing and filing the charter corporate documents and preparing this registration statement. Tiber Creek Corporation, a company of which Mr. Cassidy is the sole director, officer and shareholder, has paid expenses incurred by Sunstock without expectation of repayment. Tiber Creek is a shareholder of Sunstock and may receive benefits in the future if the company is able to effect a business combination beneficial to the company.
Sunstock is not currently required to maintain an independent director as defined by Rule 4200 of the Nasdaq Capital Market nor does it anticipate that it will be applying for listing of its securities on an exchange in which an independent directorship is required. It is likely that neither Mr. Chang nor Dr. Clair would not be considered independent directors if it were to do so.
Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services
Audit Fees
The aggregate fees incurred for each of the last two years for professional services rendered by the independent registered public accounting firm for the audits of the Company's annual financial statements and review of financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-K and Form 10-Q reports and services normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements were as follows:
Audit-Related Fees, Year Ended December 31, 2013: $ 6,120
Audit-Related Fees, Year Ended December 31, 2012: $ 750
The Company does not currently have an audit committee serving and as a result its board of directors performs the duties of an audit committee. The board of directors will evaluate and approve in advance, the scope and cost of the engagement of an auditor before the auditor renders audit and non-audit services. The Company does not rely on pre- approval policies and procedures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Sunstock, Inc. (a development stage company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Sunstock, Inc. (the "Company") (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the periods from July 23, 2012 (Inception) through December 31, 2012 and 2013. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with 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 was 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 audit 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 December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the periods from July 23, 2012 (Inception) through December 31, 2012 and 2013, 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 2 to the financial statements, the Company has had no revenues and income since inception. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2, which includes the raising of additional equity financing or merger with another entity. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SUNSTOCK, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Sunstock, Inc. (formerly known as Sandgate Acquisition Corporation) ("Sunstock" or "the Company") was incorporated on July 23, 2012 under the laws of the State of Delaware to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. Sunstock has been in the developmental stage since inception and its operations to date have been limited to issuing shares of its common stock. Sunstock may attempt to locate and negotiate with a business entity for the combination of that target company with Sunstock. The combination will normally take the form of a merger, stock-for-stock exchange or stock-for-assets exchange. In most instances the target company will wish to structure the business combination to be within the definition of a tax-free reorganization under Section 351 or Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. No assurances can be given that Sunstock will be successful in locating or negotiating with any target company. Sunstock has been formed to provide a method for a foreign or domestic private company to become a reporting company with a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
On July 18, 2013, the Company has changed its name from Sandgate Acquisition Corporation to Sunstock, Inc. and filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission noticing such name change.
On July 18, 2013, Jason Chang and Dr. Ramnik S. Clair were named as the directors of the Company.
On October 30, 2013, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with Dollar Store Services, Inc. to develop, design and build out a retail store which the Company opened in February 2014. The Company opened its second retail store in May 2014.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. Such financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company's management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying financial statements.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CONCENTRATION OF RISK
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company places its cash with high quality banking institutions. The Company did not have cash balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit as of December 31, 2013.
INCOME TAXES
Under ASC 740, "Income Taxes", deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic loss per common share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the loss of the entity. As of December 31, 2013, there are no outstanding dilutive securities.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company follows guidance for accounting for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The Company has sustained operating losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $158,676 as of December 31, 2013. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, and /or obtain additional financing from its stockholders and/or other third parties.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon financial support from its stockholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, successfully locating and negotiate with a business entity for the combination of that target company with the Company.
There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In April 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-07, Presentation of Financial Statements (Top 205): Liquidation Basis of Accounting. The objective of ASU No. 2013-07 is to clarify when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting and to provide principles for the measurement of assets and liabilities under the liquidation basis of accounting, as well as any required disclosures. The amendments in this standard is effective prospectively for entities that determine liquidation is imminent during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods therein. We are evaluating the effect, if any, adoption of ASU No. 2013-07 will have on our financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY BALANCES
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company’s president, who is also a director and majority shareholder of the company, advanced and incurred operating expenses of $102,937 on behalf of the company. This balance was reduced by $100 due from the director for the purchase of the Company’s common stock on July 19, 2013. On October 18, 2013, the shareholder converted $96,244 of this loan to 4,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The net amount of $6,694 is reflected as a loan to shareholder on the accompanying audited financial statements as of December 31, 2013, and is due March 31, 2014. Under the terms of the loan, the balance does not accrue interest until March 31, 2014, after which the unpaid balance begins accruing interest at 5.0%. The shareholder converted this net amount to common stock in February 2014.
NOTE 5 – SUBSCRIPTIONS RECEIVABLE
As of December 31, 2013, a director, Jason Chang, owed $16,000 to the Company related to the issuance of common stock to third parties. This amount is reflected as subscriptions receivable on the equity portion of the balance sheet on the accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2013. The director intends to transfer these funds to the company or return the funds to the third parties in 2014.
NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS
On October 30, 2013, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with Dollar Store Services, Inc. to develop, design and build out a retail store which the Company began operating on February 10, 2014.
