GREEN TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS, INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2015
Note 1. General Organization and Business
Green Technology Solutions, Inc. (“GTSO”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) was incorporated as XCL Sunrise, Inc. in Delaware on June 12, 2010. We changed our name to Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc. on November 1, 2004. On October 26, 2010, we changed our name to Green Technology Solutions, Inc. On July 28, 2014, the Company reincorporated from Delaware to Nevada. Our principal executive offices are at 2880 Zanker Road, Suite 203, San Jose, CA. Our year-end is December 31.
GTSO is in the business of trying to keep the world a greener place to live. Having a greener environment is what we strive to provide so that we may live healthier lives. The corporate mission is to support the health and wellness sub-market of medical cannabis.
Note 2. Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has generated net losses since inception of $95,468. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company had a net loss of $238,475 and negative cash flow from operating activities of $46,791. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had negative working capital of $949,025. Management does not anticipate having positive cash flow from operations in the near future.
These factors raise a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated 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 from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
The Company does not have the resources at this time to repay its credit and debt obligations, make any payments in the form of dividends to its shareholders or implement its business plan. Without additional capital, the Company will not be able to remain in business.
Management has plans to address the Company’s financial situation as follows:
In the near term, management plans to continue to focus on raising the funds necessary to implement the Company’s business plan. Management will continue to seek out debt financing to obtain the capital required to meet the Company’s financial obligations. There is no assurance, however, that lenders will continue to advance capital to the Company or that the new business operations will be profitable. The possibility of failure in obtaining additional funding and the potential inability to achieve profitability raise doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In the long term, management believes that the Company’s projects and initiatives will be successful and will provide cash flow to the Company, which will be used to finance the Company’s future growth. However, there can be no assurances that the Company’s planned activities will be successful, or that the Company will ultimately attain profitability. The Company’s long-term viability depends on its ability to obtain adequate sources of debt or equity funding to meet current commitments and fund the continuation of its business operations, and the ability of the Company to achieve adequate profitability and cash flows from operations to sustain its operations.
Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentations
The consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying these unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting (“GAAP”) principles in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the Consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These Consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and notes thereto and other pertinent information contained in our Form 10-K the Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.
Consolidated Financial Statements
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries from the date of their formations. 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 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of the financial statements, cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents were $1,352 and $15,173 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows ASC 605, Revenue Recognition recognizing revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred or the services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
Common Stock
The Company records common stock issuances when all of the legal requirements for the issuance of such common stock have been satisfied.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations. No deferred tax assets or liabilities were recognized as of March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014.
Earnings (Loss) per Common Share
The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per common share amounts in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. The basic earnings (loss) per common share are calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The diluted earnings (loss) per common share are calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted as of the first of the year for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There are no dilutive shares outstanding for any periods reported.
In periods in which a net loss has been incurred, all potentially dilutive common shares are considered anti-dilutive and thus are excluded from the calculation. The Company’s convertible debt is considered anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. As a result, the Company did not have any potentially dilutive common shares for those periods. For the three months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, potentially issuable shares as a result of conversions of convertible notes payable have been excluded from the calculation. At March 31, 2015, the Company had 86,324,431 potentially issuable shares upon the conversion of convertible notes payable and interest.
Financial Instruments
The Company’s balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.
FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
|
|
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
|
|
|
Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
|
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2015. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. The fair value of the Company’s notes payable is estimated based on current rates that would be available for debt of similar terms that is not significantly different from its stated value.
Beneficial Conversion Feature
Beneficial conversion feature is a non-detachable conversion feature that is in the money at the commitment date. The Company follows the guidance of ASC Subtopic 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options to evaluate as to whether beneficial conversion feature exists. Pursuant to Section 470-20-30 an embedded beneficial conversion feature recognized separately under paragraph 470-20-25-5 shall be measured initially at its intrinsic value at the commitment date (see paragraphs 470-20-30-9 through 30-12) as the difference between the conversion price (see paragraph 470-20-30-5) and the fair value of the common stock or other securities into which the security is convertible, multiplied by the number of shares into which the security is convertible. When the Company issues an debt or equity security that is convertible into common stock at a discount from the fair value of the common stock at the date the debt or equity security counterparty is legally committed to purchase such a security (Commitment Date), a beneficial conversion charge is measured and recorded on the Commitment Date for the difference between the fair value of the Company’s common stock and the effective conversion price of the debt or equity security. If the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is greater than the proceeds allocated to the debt or equity security, the amount of the discount assigned to the beneficial conversion feature is limited to the amount of the proceeds allocated to the debt or equity security.
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. There are no known commitments or contingencies as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
Subsequent events
The Company follows the guidance in Section 855-10-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will evaluate subsequent events through the date when the financial statements were issued. Pursuant to ASU 2010-09 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the Company as an SEC filer considers its financial statements issued when they are widely distributed to users, such as through filing them on EDGAR.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the corporation’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration.
In May 2014, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”).
This guidance amends the existing FASB Accounting Standards Codification, creating a new Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customer. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps:
1. Identify the contract(s) with the customer
2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract
3. Determine the transaction price
4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
5. Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfied a performance obligation.
The ASU also provides guidance on disclosures that should be provided to enable financial statement users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue recognition and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Qualitative and quantitative information is required about the following:
|
1.
|
Contracts with customer, including revenue and impairments recognized, disaggregation of revenue and information about contract balances and performance obligations (including the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations).
|
|
2.
|
Significant judgements and changes in judgements, determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations (over time or at a point in time), and determining the transaction price and amounts allocated to performance obligations.
|
|
3.
|
Assets recognized from the costs to fulfill a contract.
|
ASU 2014-09 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period for all public entities. Early application is not permitted.
In June 2014, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-12 Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (“ASU 2014-12”).
The amendments clarify the proper method of accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The Update requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved, and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered.
The amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted.
In August 2014, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15 Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”).
In connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, an entity’s management should evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). Management’s evaluation should be based on relevant conditions and events that are known and reasonably knowable at the date that the financial statements are issued (or at the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). Substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern exists when relevant conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The term probable is used consistently with its use in Topic 450, Contingencies.
When management identifies conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, management should consider whether its plans that are intended to mitigate those relevant conditions or events will alleviate the substantial doubt. The mitigating effect of management’s plans should be considered only to the extent that (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented and, if so, (2) it is probable that the plans will mitigate the conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
If conditions or events raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, but the substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, the entity should disclose information that enables users of the financial statements to understand all of the following (or refer to similar information disclosed elsewhere in the footnotes):
|
1.
|
Principal conditions or events that raised substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern (before consideration of management’s plans)
|
|
2.
|
Management’s evaluation of the significance of those conditions or events in relation to the entity’s ability to meet its obligations.
|
|
3.
|
Management’s plans that alleviated substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
|
The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted.
Management does not believe that any recently issued—but not yet effective—accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Note 4. Chilerecicla Joint Venture
On March 4, 2013, we entered into a letter of intent with Sociedad de Reciclaje de Materiales Metalicos, Electrico, Electronicos y Plasticas Limitada (“Chilerecicla”) to explore opportunities with Latin America electronic waste recyclers for the purpose of recovering precious metals, minerals, and waste to energy possibilities. Chilerecicla is based near Santiago Chile with operations across the country and surrounding regions.
On June 6, 2013, GTSO and Chilerecicla signed a joint venture agreement to evaluate, explore and determine the feasibility of a waste management collection, processing and sales operation wherein GTSO will contribute funding and the initial development of a project to acquire electronics and plastic waste for the purpose of selling metals and plastics reuse while Chilerecicla manages the Latin America operations. Under the terms of the agreement, GTSO commits to fund a minimum of $2,500 of the cash flow requirements of the start-up phase of the operations. Chilerecicla agrees to reserve 30% of the gross proceeds of the business for repayment of the initial contribution. At the end of the start-up phase, Chilerecicla will provide GTSO with a detailed timeline, budget, and operational plan for further development. Both parties will have 60 days to agree on an appropriate funding strategy for the next phase. GTSO will have no obligation to continue funding the business.
On September 1, 2013, GTSO and Chilerecicla signed a second joint venture agreement (the “Chilerecicla JV”) to execute an initial spot and single operation as a way to test in practice the planning they have designed so far. Under the terms of this second agreement, GTSO will contribute $50,000 was paid in two installments within the 30 days after the agreement was signed. These funds will be used to purchase electronic and plastic waste in Chile and to export and sell minerals, metals, and plastics for reuse. Chilerecicla will manage the process of purchasing and selling the e-waste materials. During the year ended December 31, 2013, GTSO paid 100% of the expenses of the Chilerecicla JV in the amount of $50,000. Under the terms of the agreement, GTSO will receive a minimum of 50% of the net profits of the Chilerecicla JV. No net profits were earned during the year ended December 31, 2013. The Chilerecicla JV operates under the name Chilerecicla E-Waste Limitada.
The Chilerecicla JV represents an investment in an unproven start-up operation and an emerging market. Therefore, the likelihood of the Chilerecicla JV to be able to realize profitable operations and positive cash flow is unknown at this time. As a result, GTSO has expensed all investments in this joint venture, although the Company still believes that it represents a positive business opportunity.
Note 5. Acquisition of Mother Parker
On November 3, 2014, we closed the acquisition of Mother Parker’s Soil, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Mother Parker”), for $125,000. The purchase price was to be paid $25,000 upon signing the purchase agreement on September 5, 2014, $25,000 ten days after signing the agreement, $25,000 30 days after the second payment, and five monthly payments of $10,000. Mother Parker is a cultivator of organic soils. As of March 31, 2015, we have paid $60,000 toward this acquisition. The seller of Mother Parker has verbally agreed to accept the remaining payment as funds become available to the Company.
Mother Parker did not have any tangible assets or liabilities on the date of acquisition. The intangible asset that it has is a soil recipe to be used for the cultivation of medical cannabis. The Company has valued the intangible asset at $0 for accounting purposes. In order to realize value from the soil recipe, the Company would have to have access to the capital needed to manufacture market and distribute the soil. As a result, we recorded a of $125,000 loss on acquisition of Mother Parker for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Note 6. Investment in Elevated Industries
On December 15, 2014, we signed in a profit participation agreement with Elevated Industries Inc. (“Elevated”), a Canadian corporation. The agreement calls for the Company to contribute up to US$75,000, at its sole discretion. As of March 31, 2015, we have contributed $30,000 toward this joint venture. These contributions are recorded in impairment expense due to the lack of current revenue and Elevated showing no signs of future revenue currently.
Note 7. Advances
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, Vista View Ventures, Inc. advanced $87,970 to the Company for working capital. These advances are non-interest bearing and payable on demand. During the same period, the Company refinanced $87,970 of the advances into convertible notes payable with Vista View Ventures, Inc. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, advances in the amount of $0 and $0, respectively, are included in current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recognized imputed interest expense of $725 on these advances.
Note 8. Deposit for Clean Room
On March 4, 2015, the Company signed an asset purchase agreement to acquire an approximately 1,300 square foot Class 5 clean room. The Company expects to install the clean room in Colorado, where it will serve as a center for hygienic testing and quality control services to cannabis growers and retailers. The agreement calls for GTSO to pay a total of $2,500,000 for the clean room with $250,000 to be paid in cash installments and the remaining $2,250,000 payable by the issuance of 3,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. As of March 31, 2015, we have made cash payments of $50,000 and issued 3,000,000 shares of our common stock in satisfaction of this requirement. For accounting purposes, the shares issued for the purchase of the clean room were valued at $5,400,000 based on the fair market value of the stock on the date the agreement was signed. The Company does not have the right to install and begin using the clean room until the purchase price is paid in full. As a result, the purchase price has been recorded as a deposit for the purchase of fixed assets on the balance sheet.
The 3,000,000 shares of common stock issued for the purchase of the clean room will be exchanged in three tranches of 1,000,000 shares each for a number of shares with a total value based on the 20-day volume weighted average price (as defined in the agreement) of $750,000 for each tranche. The exchange dates are (1) the later of 60 days following the closing or the date the registration statements is declared effective, (2) the end of the sixth months following the closing date, and (3) the end of the eighth month following the closing date.
We are required to prepare and file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register the shares underlying this agreement within 30 days after the signing of the agreement and to use our best efforts to cause that registration statement to be declared effective within 270 days.

The Company evaluated the application of ASC 470-50-40/55, Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instrument as it applies to the note listed above and concluded that the revised terms constituted a debt modification rather than a debt extinguishment because the present value of the cash flow under the terms of the new instrument was less than 10% from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original note. No gain or loss on the modifications was required to be recognized.
The Company evaluated the terms of the new note in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815 - 40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock and determined that the underlying common stock is indexed to the Company’s common stock. The Company determined that the conversion features did not meet the definition of a liability and therefore did not bifurcate the conversion feature and account for it as a separate derivative liability. The Company evaluated the conversion feature for a beneficial conversion feature. The effective conversion price was compared to the market price on the date of the note and was deemed to be less than the market value of underlying common stock at the inception of the note. Therefore, the Company recognized beneficial conversion features as show in the table above. The beneficial conversion features were recorded as an increase in additional paid-in capital and a discount to the Convertible Notes Payable. Discounts to the Convertible Notes Payable are amortized to interest expense over the life of the note.
Imputed Interest
During three months ended March 31, 2015, we recognized imputed interest of $725 as an increase to shareholders’ equity.
Shares Issued to Purchase Fixed Assets
On March 13, 2015, we issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock, pursuant to the terms to acquire a class 5 clean room (See footnote 7). These shares are valued at $2,750,000. We are required to prepare and file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register the shares underlying this agreement within 30 days after the Closing Date and to use its best efforts to cause that registration statement to be declared effective within 270 days.
Note 11. Subsequent Events
On April 1, 2015 the holder of the convertible promissory note dated June 20, 2013, converted $2,000 of accrued interest into 200,000 shares of common stock, at a conversion rate of $0.01 per share.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Green Technology Solutions, Inc. (“GTSO”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) was incorporated as XCL Sunrise, Inc. in Delaware on June 12, 2010. We changed our name to Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc. on November 1, 2004. On October 26, 2010, we changed our name to Green Technology Solutions, Inc. On July 28, 2014, the Company reincorporated from Delaware to Nevada. Our principal executive offices are at 2880 Zanker Road, Suite 203, San Jose, CA. Our year-end is December 31.
GTSO is in the business of trying to keep the world a greener place to live. Having a greener environment is what we strive to provide so that we may live healthier lives. The corporate mission is to support the health and wellness sub-market of medical cannabis.
Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our Consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make certain estimates and apply judgments. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends, and other factors that management believes to be important at the time the condensed Consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, we review our accounting policies and how they are applied and disclosed in our condensed Consolidated financial statements.
While we believe that the historical experience, current trends and other factors considered support the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, actual results could differ from our estimates and such differences could be material.
For a full description of our critical accounting policies, please refer to Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2014 on Form 10-K.
Results of Operations
Three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014.
General and Administrative Expenses
We incurred general and administrative expenses of $143,007 and $405,834 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we had incurred stock compensation expense of $300,000, whereas we had no stock compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2015. This was offset by a $28,650 increase in professional fees.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased from $76,236 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $90,468 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 included amortization of discount on convertible notes payable in the amount of $69,084, compared to $62,682 for the comparable period of 2014. The remaining amount is the result of the Company entering into interest-bearing convertible notes payable.
Net Loss
We incurred a net loss of $238,475 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $482,070 for the comparable period of 2014. The decrease in the net loss was primarily the result of the decrease in stock compensation expense discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2015, we had cash on hand of $1,352. The company has negative working capital of $949,025 . Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $46,791. Cash on hand is adequate to fund our operations for less than one month. We do not expect to achieve positive cash flow from operating activities in the near future. We will require additional cash in order to implement our business plan. There is no guarantee that we will be able to attain fund when we need them or that funds will be available on terms that are acceptable to the Company. We have no material commitments for capital expenditures as of March 31, 2015.
Additional Financing
Additional financing is required to continue operations. Although actively searching for available capital, the Company does not have any current arrangements for additional outside sources of financing and cannot provide any assurance that such financing will be available.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Not applicable to a smaller reporting company.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of March 31, 2015. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

1.
|
As of March 31, 2015, we did not maintain effective controls over the control environment. Specifically we have not developed and effectively communicated to our employees our accounting policies and procedures. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.

2.
|
As of March 31, 2015, we did not maintain effective controls over financial statement disclosure. Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
|
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, who is the same person, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or 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. Due to 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, have been detected.
Change in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
We know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceedings or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered beneficial shareholder are an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to us.
