NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  

MARCH 31, 2015 AND 2014

 

 

Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Description of the Company.   We were originally incorporated on March 12, 1990 in California (“Ecology-CA”).  Our current entity was incorporated in Nevada on February 6, 2002 as OCIS Corp. (“OCIS”).  OCIS completed a merger with Ecology-CA on July 26, 2007 (the “Merger”). In the Merger, OCIS changed its name from OCIS Corporation to Ecology Coatings, Inc.  The Company filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection on May 15, 2013 and subsequently the corporate shell emerged as its only unencumbered asset on September 19, 2014 using "fresh start" accounting under section 852-10-45-17 as of date of sale corporate shell to reflect intangible assets sale through section 363. Any business description below and all reporting results of the operating results reported in this filing for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2015 are post "fresh start" activity and not comparable to prior results. Post bankruptcy the company has been operating a web site for the sale of women's apparel.

 

Reclassifications.   Reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform with the current year presentation.

 

Basis of Preparation. The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.

     

Principles of Consolidation.   The consolidated financial statements include all of our accounts and the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiary Ecology-CA.  All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

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 amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition.   The Company applies paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, (iii) collectability is reasonably assured and (iv) goods have been shipped and/or services rendered.

 

Loss Per Share. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.  Potentially dilutive shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and the conversion of convertible debt and convertible preferred stock. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the weighted average number of shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.  None of the stock options or warrants outstanding or stock associated with the convertible debt or with the convertible preferred shares during each of the periods presented was included in the computation of diluted loss per share as they were anti-dilutive.  

 

     Property and Equipment.   Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:

 

Computer equipment 3-10 years
Furniture and fixtures 3-7 years
Test equipment 5-7 years
Signs 7 years
Software 3 years
Marketing and Promotional Video 3 years

 

Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred. Betterments or renewals are capitalized as incurred.

 

Patents.   It is our policy to capitalize costs associated with securing a patent.  Costs consist of legal and filing fees.  Once a patent is issued, it will be amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life.  

 

        Long-Lived Assets. We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

 

8

 

 
 

 

Stock-Based Compensation.   Employee and director stock-based compensation expense is measured utilizing the fair-value method with expense charged to earnings over the vesting period on a straight-line basis.

 

We account for stock options granted to non-employees under the fair-value method with stock-based compensation expense being charged to earnings on the earlier of the date services are performed or a performance commitment exists.

 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

We have reviewed all Accounting Standards Updates issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board since we last issued financial statements and have determined none of them would have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Post bankruptcy the Company acquired the assets of Seene, LLC.(a ready to operate web site business). In addition to a $3,000 deposit the Company signed a note payable for $7,000. This note is due September 24, 2015 and carries a zero percent interest rate. This note is not in default.

 

 Note 5 — Commitments and Contingencies

 

 

Contingencies.

 

All contingencies have been settled through our bankruptcy petition in September 2014 subsequent to this financial reporting period.

 

Lease Commitments.

 

None.

 

Note 6 — Equity

 

Common Stock

 

As of March 31, 2015 the Company had 90,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized par value $0.001 and the holders of the Company's common stock are entitled to one vote per share of common stock held. and the Company had 54,593,032 shares issued and outstanding. Additionally as part of the bankruptcy sale the Company has already been authorized to effect a reverse stock split up to 5,000 for 1 and may issue up to 60,000,000 additional common shares.

 

Preferred Stock

 

As of March 31, 2015 the Company had 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock authorized par value $.001 and the holders of the Company's Preferred Stock can convert each share into 100,000 shares of voting Common Stock. Additionally each Preferred Share is entitled to the voting rights 100,000 common stock shares. The Company had 271 shares issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2014.

 

Note 7 — Stock Options

 

There were no stock options issued during this fiscal year. As part of our bankruptcy agreement approved on September 19, 2014 all common conversion rights of any kind including the equity compensation plan without limitation , warrants, options and convertible notes were cancelled and extinguished for the current and prior fiscal years.

 

 

Note 8 -- Income Taxes

 

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had approximately $25,900 in post bankruptcy net operating loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes which expire between 2014 and 2032.  Generally, these can be carried forward and applied against future taxable income at the tax rate applicable at that time. We are currently using a 34% effective tax rate for our projected available net operating loss carry-forward. However, as a result of potential stock offerings and stock issuance in connection with potential acquisitions, as well as the possibility of the Company not realizing its business plan objectives and having future taxable income to offset, the Company’s use of these NOLs may be limited under the provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Components of deferred tax assets and (liabilities) are as follows:

 

  2015   2014
Net operating loss carry forwards valuation available $ 25,900   $  -0-
           
Valuation Allowances   (3,885)      -0-
Deferred Tax Asset   3,885      -0-
 Net Deferred Tax Asset  $  -0-    $  -0-

 

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes”, valuation allowances are provided against deferred tax assets, if based on the weight of available evidence, some or all of the deferred tax assets may or will not be realized. The Company has evaluated its ability to realize some or all of the deferred tax assets on its balance sheet for the coming year and has established a valuation allowance in the amount of $3,885 at March 31, 2015 During the period ended March 31, 2015 the company did not utilize any of its NOL.

  

Note 9 – Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. Currently, the Company has limited post bankruptcy operations and a working capital deficit as of March 31, 2015. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that the Company’s capital requirements will depend on many factors including the success of the Company’s development efforts and its efforts to raise capital. Management also believes the Company needs to raise additional capital for working capital purposes. There is no assurance that such financing will be available in the future.   The conditions described above raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Note 10 - Acquisitions

 

On September 25, 2014 the company entered into an agreement to buy the ready to operate business assets of Seene LLC. The cost of this acquisition was $10,000 which was allocated $795 to inventory and $9,205 to the intangible assets of the "MeTu" trade name and web site MeTuBoutique.com.

 

 

Note 11 - Subsequent Events

 

We have evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred through the date and time our financial statements were issued for potential recognition or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements. We did not identify any events or transactions that should be recognized or disclosed in the accompanying financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Preparation of the statements in accordance with these principles requires that we make estimates, using available data and our judgment, for such things as valuing assets, accruing liabilities and estimating expenses. The following is a discussion of what we feel are the most critical estimates that we must make when preparing our financial statements.   

 

Revenue Recognition.   The Company applies paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, (iii) collectability is reasonably assured and (iv) goods have been shipped and/or services rendered.

 

Income from forgiveness of payables and debt.    Income from the forgiveness of payables and debt is recognized when all of the conditions associated with the forgiveness have been met.

 

Income Taxes and Deferred Income Taxes.    We use the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences in the bases of assets and liabilities as reported for financial statement purposes and income tax purposes and for the future use of net operating losses. We have recorded a valuation allowance against our net deferred income tax asset. The valuation allowance reduces deferred income tax assets to an amount that represents management’s best estimate of the amount of such deferred income tax assets that more likely than not will be realized.

 

Property and Equipment.    Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:

 

Computer equipment 3-10 years
Furniture and fixtures 3-7 years
Test equipment 5-7 years
Signs 7 years
Software 3 years
Marketing and promotional video 3 years

 

Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred. Betterments or renewals are capitalized as incurred.

 

We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset with future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

 

 

Patents.   It is our policy to capitalize costs associated with securing a patent. Costs consist of legal and filing fees. Once a patent is issued, it is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. For purposes of the preparation of the audited, consolidated financial statements, we have recorded amortization expense associated with the patents based on an eight-year useful life.

 

Stock-Based Compensation.   We have a stock incentive plan that provides for the issuance of stock options, restricted stock and other awards to employees and service providers.  Employee and director stock-based compensation expense is measured utilizing the fair-value method with stock-based compensation expense being charged to earnings on the earlier of the date services are performed or a performance commitment exists. Our valuation method uses a Black-Scholes option pricing model. In so doing, we estimate certain key assumptions used in the model.

   

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not applicable since we are a smaller reporting company under applicable SEC rules.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act:”) as of the end of the period covered by this report.

 

Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to provide reasonable assurance that material 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 SEC rules and forms.  Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reached this conclusion due to the lack of segregation of duties in financial reporting as a result of the small size of our financial staff.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, there were no changes.
