NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

World Moto, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 24, 2008 under the name Net Profits Ten Inc. The original purpose of the Company was to market and distribute user-friendly interactive yearbook software for the military. The Company was reclassified as a shell company until the completion of its acquisition of the World Moto Assets, which was consummated on November 14, 2012, and discussed in Note 3. Effective November 12, 2012, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from “Net Profits Ten Inc.” to “World Moto, Inc.”

On January 30, 2013, World Moto, Inc. established two wholly owned subsidiaries that were incorporated in the State of Nevada. World Moto Technologies, Inc. and World Moto Holdings, Inc. were both established, but have no activity to report to date. On February 4, 2013, World Moto Technologies Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, was organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Thailand and the name of this company was later changed to World Moto Co., Ltd. World Moto Co., Ltd. is owned in its entirety by World Moto, Inc., World Moto Technologies, Inc. and World Moto Holdings, Inc. and it is an operating entity of the Company in Thailand for the purposes of research and development in the Southeast Asia region.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Regulation S-X rule 8-03 and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's last Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2014 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes to the interim consolidated financial statements related to the period are unaudited. The results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarters or for the entire year ending December 31, 2014. Notes to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of our subsidiary is the Thai Baht. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income (loss) for the respective periods.

For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the subsidiary are translated into the Company’s reporting currency, United States Dollars (“USD”). Asset and liability accounts are translated using the closing exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, equity account and dividend are translated using historical exchange rates and income and expense accounts are translated using the average exchange rate prevailing during the reporting period.


Adjustments resulting from the translation, if any, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholder’s equity (deficit).

Long-Lived Assets

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method of 3 years for financial statement purposes.

Software

The Company capitalizes software acquisition and development costs incurred during the software application development stage. The software application development stage is characterized by software design and configuration activities, coding, testing and installation. Training and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred, while upgrades and enhancements are capitalized if it is probable that such expenditures will result in additional functionality. Capitalized software acquisition and development costs, once placed in service, are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 3 to 10 years. Capitalized software acquisition and development costs subject to amortization are carried at cost less accumulated amortization.

Patents

Patents are initially measured based on their fair values. Patents are being amortized on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 10 to 20 years.

Management evaluates the recoverability of the Company’s property and equipment including patent development costs when events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment exists. The Company considers certain events and circumstances in determining whether the carrying value of identifiable property and equipment may not be recoverable including, but not limited to: significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results; significant changes in the use of the assets; significant negative industry or economic trends; and changes in the business strategy. In determining if impairment exists, the Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and ultimate disposition of these assets. If impairment is indicated based on a comparison of the assets' carrying values and the undiscounted cash flows, the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and income tax carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company reviews deferred tax assets for a valuation allowance based upon whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be fully realized. A valuation allowance, if necessary, is provided against deferred tax assets, based upon management’s assessment as to their realization.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue only when all of the following criteria have been met:

  • Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
  • Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;
  • The fee for the arrangement is fixed or determinable; and
  • Collectibility is reasonably assured.

Persuasive Evidence of an Arrangement –The Company documents all terms of an arrangement in a written contract signed by the customer prior to recognizing revenue.

Delivery Has Occurred or Services Have Been Performed – The Company performs all services or delivers all products prior to recognizing revenue. Monthly services are considered to be performed ratably over the term of the arrangement. Professional consulting services are considered to be performed when the services are complete. Equipment is considered delivered upon delivery to a customer’s designated location.

The Fee for the Arrangement Is Fixed or Determinable – Prior to recognizing revenue, a customer’s fee is either fixed or determinable under the terms of the written contract. Fees for most monthly services, professional consulting services, and equipment sales and rentals are fixed under the terms of the written contract. Fees for certain monthly services, including certain portions of networking, storage, and content distribution and caching services, are variable based on an objectively determinable factor such as usage. Those factors are included in the written contract such that the customer’s fee is determinable. The customer’s fee is negotiated at the outset of the arrangement and is not subject to refund or adjustment during the initial term of the arrangement.

Collectibility Is Reasonably Assured – The Company determines that collectibility is reasonably assured prior to recognizing revenue. Collectibility is assessed on a customer by customer basis based on criteria outlined by management. New customers are subject to a credit review process, which evaluates the customer’s financial position and ultimately its ability to pay. The Company does not enter into arrangements unless collectibility is reasonably assured at the outset. Existing customers are subject to ongoing credit evaluations based on payment history and other factors. If it is determined during the arrangement that collectibility is not reasonably assured, revenue is recognized on a cash basis.

Franchise Fee Revenue

Revenues from licensees include a royalty based on a percent of sales, and may include initial fees. Continuing royalties are recognized in the period earned. Initial fees are recognized upon granting of a new franchise term, which is when the Company has performed substantially all initial services required by the franchise arrangement and once the franchisee commences operations. Additionally, the first twelve months of operations are royalty free for the franchisee.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company expenses the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of such instruments over the service period.

Equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services are recorded at either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more reliably measurable.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date when financial statements are issued for disclosure consideration.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. ASU 2014-10 eliminates the distinction of a development stage entity and certain related disclosure requirements, including the elimination of inception-to-date information on the statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ equity. The amendments in ASU 2014-10 will be effective prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods, however early adoption is permitted. The Company evaluated and adopted ASU 2014-10 for the reporting period ended March 31, 2014.


NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $1,465,332 as of March 31, 2014, has limited liquidity, and has not established a reliable source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund operating expenses. The Company intends to position itself so that it may be able to raise additional funds through the capital markets. In light of management’s efforts, there are no assurances that the Company will be successful in this or any of its endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 3 – UNEARNED REVENUES

On December 2, 2013, WM Co. Thailand entered into a Purchase and Licensing Agreement (the “PL Agreement”) with Mobile Advertising Ventures Ltd. (“MAV”). Pursuant to the terms of the PL Agreement, MAV will purchase 10 initial “Wheelies” from WM Co. Thailand at a purchase price of $35,000, and will have an option to purchase an additional 190 Wheelies at a purchase price of $3,500 per unit. WM Co. Thailand also grants a non-exclusive license to MAV for the use of its software in connection with the operation of the Wheelies in consideration for a fee based on net revenue per quarter from advertising sales relating to the use of the Wheelies. The Company received $35,000 from MAV before December 31, 2013 and recorded unearned revenue at the yearend.

On March 10, 2014, the Company entered into a Fleet Franchise Agreement (“the Franchise Agreement”) with Mobile Advertising Ventures, Ltd. (“MAV”). MAV paid the Company $24,980 for the right to utilize the Yes software and all other trademarks of the Company, including but not limited to “Yes”, “World Moto” and “Wheelies” (collectively, the “Marks”) in the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Initial training has been completed for the Franchisee; however, the Franchisee has not begun operations. This revenue will be reclassified as earned when MAV completes its first sale using the Yes software.

NOTE 4 – RESTATEMENTS

On September 22, 2014, the Company determined that the assets acquired from World Moto in 2012 should be recorded at the transferors’ historical cost basis because the Company’s new shareholders obtained control of the Company as of the acquisition date, with an overall ownership percentage of approximately 60%. The Company also determined that the shares issued to the new shareholders should be recorded at sellers’ historical cost of zero on the assets acquired. The financial statements as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and for three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were restated by the Company to reflect the following adjustments:

1.

To remove the intangible assets initially capitalized by the Company at fair value of common stock issued to the new shareholders;

   
2.

To adjust the shares issued to the new shareholders for the assets to their historical cost basis of zero;

   
3.

To remove the amortization expense previously recorded for the intangible assets.

   
4.

To remove revenues previously recorded to unearned revenues.

Also, during the quarter ended June 30, 2014, management decided not to recognize franchise fee revenues until the franchisee commences operations. The Company originally recorded $24,980 as revenue for payments collected from a franchisee; however such franchisee has not yet commenced operations. Accordingly, the Company removed the $24,980 from revenues and increased unearned revenues.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Forward looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward-looking statements are based upon estimates, forecasts, and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us, or on our behalf. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements.

Overview

World Moto, Inc. was incorporated on March 24, 2008, in the State of Nevada under the name Net Profits Ten Inc. On November 8, 2012, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to increase our authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000 and our board of directors approved a stock dividend of 180 shares of common stock of the Company for each share of common stock issued and outstanding. Additionally, on November 12, 2012, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change our name from “Net Profits Ten Inc.” to “World Moto, Inc.”, which name change became effective on November 15, 2012, upon approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).

On September 1, 2012, we entered in an Asset Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with World Moto (Thailand) Co., Ltd., a corporation established under the laws of the Kingdom of Thailand (“Old WM”), Chris Ziomkowski, the Chief Technical Officer of Old WM and Paul Giles, the Chief Executive Officer of Old WM. The Agreement was consummated on November 14, 2012. We purchased from Old WM substantially all of the intellectual property and certain other specific intellectual property assets related to Old WM’s initial product, the Moto-Meter (the “Assets”), which includes three United States patent applications, the data related to the patent applications, certain software related to the operation of the Moto-Meter, several URLs and trade-names and associated names related to the Moto-Meter and Old WM.

On January 30, 2013, we established two wholly owned subsidiaries that were incorporated in the State of Nevada. World Moto Technologies, Inc. and World Moto Holdings, Inc. were both established, but have no activity to report to date. On February 4, 2013, World Moto Technologies Ltd. was organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Thailand. The name was later changed to World Moto Co., Ltd. (“WM Co. Thailand”). WM Co. Thailand is owned in its entirety by World Moto, Inc., World Moto Technologies, Inc. and World Moto Holdings, Inc. and represents our operating entity for the purposes of research and development in the Southeast Asia region.

As of March 31, 2014, WM Co. Thailand had 12 employees. WM Co. Thailand has been performing extensive research and development activities since its inception related to improving the Moto-Meter design to allow for higher yields in mass production, as well as substantial work on the Wheelies product, previously known as Circulars.

Business Overview

Plan of Operations

We plan to establish ourselves as a company that designs, manufactures, markets and sells the Moto-Meter products, which are devices that provide moto-taxi fare metering and other communication capabilities. We currently have patent applications pending for our products in 59countries. To achieve our objective, we have (i) raised approximately $1,250,000 in new capital in late 2012 and early 2013, (ii) established our operational subsidiary in Thailand for product development and a presence in two additional potential markets, Brazil and Nigeria, and (iii) begun expanding our work force to be able to implement our business plan.

We anticipate rolling out the Moto-Meter, which is a device that provides moto-taxi fare metering and other services to motorcycle-taxi operators, by the end of the fourth quarter 2014 initially in one or more of Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, as a test of its capabilities. Once we are satisfied with this pre-production launch of our product in real-world conditions, we will begin to sell the Moto-Meter to other motorcycle-taxi operators in Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand by the end of the first quarter of 2015, and motorcycle-taxi operators in Brazil in the next 12 months.


We are also focused on the development of our advertising product, Wheelies. Wheelies displays static and streaming media on the wheels of motorcycles and automobiles, providing a new mobile medium for advertising, broadcasting, self-expression and publishing. We intend to market Wheelies over the next 12 months primarily as an advertising platform in the country of Thailand. We are currently in the process of establishing a joint venture with Forever Network Co. Ltd. in Bangkok to promote this technology, and the joint venture will be responsible for securing any necessary permits and waivers that may be necessary. We will be moving immediately into limited production of Wheelies, which involves low volume production runs of tens to hundreds of units in order to refine the production yields, increase the efficiency, and decrease warranty and support costs of the manufacturing process. We anticipate the limited production and optimization stage to last approximately 6 months, after which full commercial production will commence by the fourth quarter of 2014 for distribution in Thailand.

We intend to launch Yes™, which provides a mobile enabled commerce solution that runs on smartphones, in the third quarter of 2014 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and in Thailand and Cambodia in the next 12 months. The primary purpose of Yes™ is the delivery of goods to consumers rapidly after ordering.

In Thailand, we entered into a distribution agreement with Lucky Distributors, Ltd. (“Lucky”) Under the terms of this distribution agreement, Lucky has the non-exclusive right to distribute, sell and service the Moto-Meter and Moto-Meter accessories throughout Thailand and the surrounding border markets. Lucky is a national distribution company based in Thailand. It is also a preferred supplier for the Motorcycle Taxi Association of Thailand. We believe Lucky’s reputation and relationship with the moto taxi community will help promote Moto-Meter in Thailand.

On October 30, 2013, we announced the signing of multiple letters of intent for the distribution of our flagship product, the Moto-Meter. To date, we signed letters of intent with qualified distributors in 7 countries. The distributors were selected for their ability to both sell and support our products as well as to protect our brand image in strategic markets. We are continuing discussions with dozens of further prominent distributors out of the hundreds of retail agents and operators that have contacted us expressing interest in the Moto-Meter and associated products. The letters of intent include authorizations to sell and support our flagship product, the Moto-Meter, as well as establishing priority for Wheelies and our other future products and services.

On December 2, 2013, World Moto Co. Thailand entered into a Purchase and Licensing Agreement (the “PL Agreement”) with Mobile Advertising Ventures Ltd. (“MAV”). Pursuant to the terms of the PL Agreement, MAV will purchase 10 initial “Wheelies” from World Moto Co. Thailand at a purchase price of $35,000, and will have an option to purchase an additional 190 Wheelies at a purchase price of $3,500 per unit. World Moto Co. Thailand also grants a non-exclusive license to MAV for the use of its software in connection with the operation of the Wheelies in consideration for a fee based on net revenue per quarter from advertising sales relating to the use of the Wheelies. This sale will be completed during 2014.

We entered into discussions to mandate the use of Moto-Meters on all moto taxis within the city of Montes Claros, Brazil. Montes Claros is considered the "motorcycle taxi capital" of northern Brazil and an ideal city to launch the Moto-Meter in Brazil. We anticipate that a regulatory mandate here will act as a springboard into the potentially larger markets of Brazil's other highly populated cities.

In Africa, we established an office in Lagos, Nigeria. Previously, the officials in Nigeria have expressed strong interest in the Moto-Meter, and feedback from our initial discussions has been positive. Establishing a physical presence in the city is now essential for us as we enter the process of formalizing these discussions into a clear plan to introduce the Moto-Meter into Lagos and cities across Africa. On November 4, 2013, we were awarded a patent on the Moto-Meter technology until 2033 in Nigeria, a country with more than 3 million motorcycle taxis.

We have assembled an optimal number of employees, including experienced engineers in our research and development division at the Thailand Science Park. The development focus is simultaneously devoted to our advertising product, Wheelies, as well as our flagship product, the Moto-Meter.

The Company filed patent applications for the Wheelies product in November 2013.

In parallel with this, we have completed the work to adapt the Moto-Meter electronics so that it can pass all current and anticipated regulatory requirements of INMETRO, the National Institute of Metrology for Brazil, as well as other international regulatory agencies. Additional work is currently being undertaken to improve the weatherization technology used in the Moto-Meter to enhance its ability to withstand environmental stresses, as well as work to provide a more generic Moto-Meter installation kit and wiring harness that will allow its installation into a wider variety of vehicles, such as auto rickshaws. A fully revised version suitable for certification and sales is expected in the 3rd quarter of 2014.


We plan to use outside consultants and service companies from time to time for various tasks in the sales, development and manufacturing of our products and product launch and distribution, under provider contracts, to the extent that we are not able to perform the required functions. Using such outside vendors may make a particular task more expensive, but we believe that using such experts should improve the outcome or speed up the timing of product development and time to market. There is no assurance that we will be able to control the costs and deliveries of such activities in the same manner as if we were performing the tasks ourselves, and therefore we are subject to the usual risks of using outside providers.

Estimated Expenses

The following provides an overview of our estimated expenses to fund our plan of operations for each of our products over the next 12 months. Funding will be with our current cash assets and may include future capital that we may have to raise.

In order to execute on our plan of operations over the next 12 months, we will need to raise additional amounts of working capital through debt or equity offerings. There are no assurances that we will be able to raise the required working capital on terms favorable, or that such working capital will be available on any terms when needed. Any failure to secure additional financing may force us to modify or delay our business plan.


Results of Operations

Comparison of three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

Net Loss

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, we incurred a net loss of $ 260,251 compared to a net loss of $193,839 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013.

10


Expenses

General and administration expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, amounted to $139,011 compared to $125,243 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2013. R&D expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 amounted to $121,106 compared to $68,596 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2013. The increase in expenses is due to growth of the Company in Thailand, continued R&D associated with our products and ongoing legal expenses for items such as patent acquisition in various countries.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2014, we had $65,706 in current assets and $200,890 in current liabilities. Our total assets were $105,179 and our total liabilities were $200,890. We had $31,397 in cash and our working capital deficit was $135,184.

Cash Flows:

    For the three months ended  
    March 31,  
    2014     2013  
Cash Flows from Operating Activities $  (144,351 ) $  (225,977 )
Cash Flows from Investing Activities   ( 873 )   -  
Cash Flows from Financing Activities   -     1,000,000  
Effects of Currency Translations   ( 2,511 )   ( 302 )
Net increase(decrease) in cash $  (147,735 ) $  773,721  

Subsequent to our quarter ended March 31, 2014, on April 4, 2014, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors pursuant to which we issued convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $543,378 for a purchase price of $500,000 (8% original issue discount). Upon the effectiveness of a registration statement, we will file in connection with such financing, such investors will purchase additional debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $543,378 for a purchase price of $500,000 (8% original issue discount), for a total aggregate principal amount of $1,086,756 for the aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000 (8% original issue discount). The debentures have a maturity date of 12 months with 12% interest paid at maturity or upon conversion of the amounts owed under the debentures. Subsequent to our quarter ended March 31, 2014, on May 6, 2014, in connection with the securities purchase agreement, the Company filed with the Securities Exchange Commission a Form S-1 for the registration of its common stock, $.0001 par value. The number of shares to be registered is 27,173,913.

Given our cash position of $31,397 as of March 31, 2014, management believes that our cash on hand and working capital are sufficient to meet our current anticipated cash requirements through April 15, 2014.

We are a start-up company and have incurred an accumulated loss of $1,465,332 since inception. Our independent auditors have issued an audit opinion for our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern due to our limited liquidity and our lack of revenues.

11


Our current cash requirements are significant due to planned development and marketing of our current products, and we anticipate generating losses. In order to execute on our long term business strategy, we will require $1,500,000 in additional working capital over the next 18 months, commensurate with the operational needs of our planned marketing, development and distribution efforts. Our management believes that we should be able to generate revenue and raise sufficient amounts of working capital through debt or equity offerings, as may be required to meet our long-term obligations. However, our ability to raise capital may be limited due to the grant of a security interest on all of the assets of the Company to secure the obligations under the convertible debentures issued on April 4, 2014.

There are no assurances that we will be able to raise the required working capital on terms favorable, or that such working capital will be available on any terms when needed. Any failure to secure additional financing may force us to modify our business plan. In addition, we cannot be assured of profitability in the future.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (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 year. The more significant areas requiring the use of estimates include asset impairment, stock-based compensation, and future income tax amounts. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from the estimates.

We believe the following is among the most critical accounting policies that impact or consolidated financial statement. We suggest that our significant accounting policies, as described in our financial statements in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, be read in conjunction with this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of our subsidiary is the Thai Baht. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income (loss) for the respective periods.

For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the subsidiary are translated into the Company’s reporting currency, United States Dollars (“USD”). Asset and liability accounts are translated using the closing exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, equity account and dividend are translated using historical exchange rates and income and expense accounts are translated using the average exchange rate prevailing during the reporting period.

Adjustments resulting from the translation, if any, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholder’s equity (deficit).

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue only when all of the following criteria have been met:

  • Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

  • Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;


  • The fee for the arrangement is fixed or determinable; and

  • Collectibility is reasonably assured.

Persuasive Evidence of an Arrangement –The Company documents all terms of an arrangement in a written contract signed by the customer prior to recognizing revenue.

Delivery Has Occurred or Services Have Been Performed – The Company performs all services or delivers all products prior to recognizing revenue. Monthly services are considered to be performed ratably over the term of the arrangement. Professional consulting services are considered to be performed when the services are complete. Equipment is considered delivered upon delivery to a customer’s designated location.

The Fee for the Arrangement Is Fixed or Determinable – Prior to recognizing revenue, a customer’s fee is either fixed or determinable under the terms of the written contract. Fees for most monthly services, professional consulting services, and equipment sales and rentals are fixed under the terms of the written contract. Fees for certain monthly services, including certain portions of networking, storage, and content distribution and caching services, are variable based on an objectively determinable factor such as usage. Those factors are included in the written contract such that the customer’s fee is determinable. The customer’s fee is negotiated at the outset of the arrangement and is not subject to refund or adjustment during the initial term of the arrangement.

Collectibility Is Reasonably Assured – The Company determines that collectibility is reasonably assured prior to recognizing revenue. Collectibility is assessed on a customer by customer basis based on criteria outlined by management. New customers are subject to a credit review process, which evaluates the customer’s financial position and ultimately its ability to pay. The Company does not enter into arrangements unless collectibility is reasonably assured at the outset. Existing customers are subject to ongoing credit evaluations based on payment history and other factors. If it is determined during the arrangement that collectibility is not reasonably assured, revenue is recognized on a cash basis.

Franchise Fee Revenue

Revenues from licensees include a royalty based on a percent of sales, and may include initial fees. Continuing royalties are recognized in the period earned. Initial fees are recognized upon granting of a new franchise term, which is when the Company has performed substantially all initial services required by the franchise arrangement. Additionally, the first twelve months of operations are royalty free for the franchisee.

During the fiscal year December 31, 2014, management has decided not to recognize franchise fee revenues until the franchisee commences operations. The Company originally recorded $24,980 as revenue for payments collected from a franchisee, however the franchisee has not yet commences operations. Accordingly, the company removed the $24,980 from revenues and increased unearned revenues.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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 the reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


As of the quarterly period ended March 31, 2014, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the quarterly period ended March 31, 2014 in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) rules and forms. This conclusion is based on findings that constituted material weaknesses. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

In performing the above-referenced assessment, our management identified the following material weaknesses:

12



  i)

We have insufficient quantity of dedicated resources and experienced personnel involved in reviewing and designing internal controls. As a result, a material misstatement of the interim and annual financial statements could occur and not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

     
  ii)

We do not have an audit committee. While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is the management’s view that to have an audit committee, comprised of independent board members, is an important entity- level control over our financial statements.

     
  iii)

We did not perform an entity level risk assessment to evaluate the implication of relevant risks on financial reporting, including the impact of potential fraud-related risks and the risks related to non-routine transactions, if any, on our internal control over financial reporting. Lack of an entity-level risk assessment constituted an internal control design deficiency which resulted in more than a remote likelihood that a material error would not have been prevented or detected, and constituted a material weakness.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and a functioning Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management or board override of the control.

The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
