PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus.  This summary does not contain all the information that you should consider before investing in the common stock.  You should carefully read the entire prospectus, including “Risk Factors”, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the Financial Statements, before making an investment decision. In this Prospectus, the terms “Magnolia Lane,” “MIFC,” “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Magnolia Lane Income Fund.

 

Overview

 

Magnolia Lane Income Fund was incorporated in the state of Delaware on May 12, 2009. We were formed to commence business as a stock agent in the wool trade.

 

On May 13, 2013, we entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Ian Raleigh and Michael Raleigh (the “Sellers”) and Magnolia Lane Financial, Inc. (the “Purchaser”), whereby the Purchaser purchased from the Sellers, 10,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”), representing approximately 69.57% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. As a result, the Purchaser became the majority shareholder of the Company. 

 

In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, we have ceased pursuing our prior business plan and have begun focusing on our new business which is to manage and invest in real property.  Our current Chief Executive Officer and sole director, Brian Woodland, has numerous years in the real estate acquisition, syndication and asset management business. We intend to acquire real estate in small markets with high degrees of safety to provide income streams to our shareholders.  In addition, we will develop property, syndicate, manage and acquire property for capital appreciation.

 

In connection with this change of control and change of business, we have conducted a name change and reverse stock split. On August 1, 2013, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) to change its name from “Palmerston Stock Agency, Inc.” to “Magnolia Lane Income Fund” (the “Name Change”) and to memorialize a 8 to 1 reverse stock split (the “Stock Split”). The Amendment was effective as of August 1, 2013.

 

On August 12, 2013, the Company received approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) to effectuate the Name Change and Stock Split.  FINRA also confirmed that the new stock symbol is MIFC.

 

Where You Can Find Us

 

Our principal executive offices are located at 7 Grove Street, Topsfield, MA 01983. Our telephone number is (978) 887-5981.

 

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

 

We qualify as an emerging growth company as that term is used in the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other burdens that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:

 

A requirement to have only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related MD&A;

 

Exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;

 

Reduced disclosure about the emerging growth company’s executive compensation arrangements; and

 

No non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements.

 

We have already taken advantage of these reduced reporting burdens in this prospectus, which are also available to us as a smaller reporting company as defined under Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to use the extended transition period provided above and therefore our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

 

We could remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

 

For more details regarding this exemption, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies.”

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The information contained in this prospectus, including in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, includes some statements that are not purely historical and that are “forward-looking statements.” Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our Company and management’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, including our financial condition, results of operations, and the expected impact of the offering on the parties’ individual and combined financial performance. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plans,” “possible,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions, or the negatives of such terms, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

 

The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and the potential effects on the parties and the transaction. There can be no assurance that future developments actually affecting us will be those anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the parties’ control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

RISK FACTORS

 

The shares of our common stock being offered are highly speculative in nature, involve a high degree of risk and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose the entire amount invested in the common stock. Before purchasing any of the shares of common stock, you should carefully consider the following factors relating to our business and prospects. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected. In such case, you may lose all or part of your investment.  You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this process before investing in our common stock.

 

Relating to Our Business

 

WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY THAT YOU CAN USE TO EVALUATE US, AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF OUR SUCCESS MUST BE CONSIDERED IN LIGHT OF THE PROBLEMS, EXPENSES, DIFFICULTIES, COMPLICATIONS AND DELAYS FREQUENTLY ENCOUNTERED BY A SMALL DEVELOPING COMPANY.

 

We were incorporated in Delaware in May, 2009. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered by a small developing company starting a new business enterprise and the potentially highly competitive environment in which we will operate. Since we have a limited operating history, we cannot assure you that our business will be profitable or that we will ever generate sufficient revenues to meet our expenses and support our anticipated activities.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our accounting firm’s opinion on the Company’s April 30, 2014 consolidated financial statements include an explanatory paragraph relating to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

WE NEED TO MANAGE GROWTH IN OPERATIONS TO MAXIMIZE OUR POTENTIAL GROWTH AND ACHIEVE OUR EXPECTED REVENUES AND OUR FAILURE TO MANAGE GROWTH WILL CAUSE A DISRUPTION OF OUR OPERATIONS RESULTING IN THE FAILURE TO GENERATE REVENUE.

 

In order to maximize growth in our current and potential markets, we believe that we must expand our marketing operations. This expansion will place a significant strain on our management and our operational, accounting, and information systems. We expect that we will need to continue to improve our financial controls, operating procedures and management information systems. We will also need to effectively train, motivate and manage our employees. Our failure to manage our growth could disrupt our operations and ultimately prevent us from generating the revenues we expect.

 

3

  

In order to achieve the above-mentioned targets, the general strategies of our Company are to maintain and search for hard-working employees who have innovative initiatives; as well as to keep a close eye on expansion opportunities through merger or and/or acquisition.

 

IF WE NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO FUND OUR GROWING OPERATIONS, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN SUFFICIENT CAPITAL AND MAY BE FORCED TO LIMIT THE SCOPE OF OUR OPERATIONS.

 

If adequate additional financing is not available on reasonable terms, we may not be able to undertake expansion or continue our marketing efforts and we would have to modify our business plans accordingly. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available to us.

 

In connection with our growth strategies, we may experience increased capital needs; accordingly, we may not have sufficient capital to fund our future operations without additional capital investments. Our capital needs will depend on numerous factors, including (i) our profitability; (ii) the release of competitive products and/or services by our competition; (iii) the level of our investment in research and development;  (iv) the amount of our capital expenditures, including acquisitions, and (v) our growth. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain capital in the future to meet our needs.

 

Even if we do find a source of additional capital, we may not be able to negotiate terms and conditions for receiving the additional capital that are acceptable to us. Any future capital investments could dilute or otherwise materially and adversely affect the holdings or rights of our existing shareholders. In addition, new equity or convertible debt securities issued by us to obtain financing could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our common stock. We cannot give you any assurance that any additional financing will be available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to us.

 

OUR FUTURE SUCCESS IS DEPENDENT, IN PART, ON THE PERFORMANCE AND CONTINUED SERVICE OF OUR OFFICERS.

 

We are presently dependent to a great extent upon the experience, abilities and continued services of Brian Woodland, our President, CEO and Director.  The loss of services of Mr. Woodland could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operation.

 

NEED FOR ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEES


Our future success also depends upon our ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel. Expansion of our business and the management and operation of the Company will require additional managers and employees with industry experience, and our success will be highly dependent on our ability to attract and retain skilled management personnel and other employees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract or retain highly qualified personnel. As our industry continues to evolve, competition for skilled personnel with the requisite experience will be significant. This competition may make it more difficult and expensive to attract, hire and retain qualified managers and employees.

 

WE ARE IN AN INTENSELY COMPETITIVE INDUSTRY AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO COMPETE WITH OUR COMPETITORS WHO MAY HAVE GREATER RESOURCES.

 

The Company could face strong competition from competitors in the property management industry who could duplicate the model.  These competitors may have substantially greater financial, marketing and development resources and other capabilities than the Company. In addition, there are very few barriers to enter into the market for our services.  There can be no assurance, therefore, that any of our competitors, many of whom have far greater resources, will not independently develop services that are substantially equivalent or superior to our services.  Therefore, an investment in the Company is very risky and speculative due to the competitive environment in which the Company operates.

 

4

  

OUR FUTURE SUCCESS IS DEPENDENT UPON THE FUTURE GENERATION OF A MARKET FOR OUR SERVICE

 

The Company currently remains and will continue to remain in a position of dependence on the sustainability of the real estate market.  Therefore, an investment in the Company is very risky and speculative due to the uncertain future of the electric vehicle market.

 

Risks Associated with Our Common Stock

 

IF WE FAIL TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN AN EFFECTIVE SYSTEM OF INTERNAL CONTROL, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REPORT OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS ACCURATELY OR PREVENT FRAUD. ANY INABILITY TO REPORT AND FILE OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS ACCURATELY AND TIMELY COULD HARM OUR REPUTATION AND ADVERSELY IMPACT THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

 

Effective internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud.  If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed.  As a result, our small size and any current internal control deficiencies may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and access to capital.  We have 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 the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses described below. 

 

A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 2) or combination of control deficiencies that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management has identified the following two material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that as of January 31, 2015 our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:

 

1. We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act which is applicable to us for the quarter ended January 31, 2015. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

 

2. We do not have sufficient resources in our accounting function, which restricts the Company’s ability to gather, analyze and properly review information related to financial reporting in a timely manner.  In addition, due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

 

To address these material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present. Our Code of Ethics requires members of our management team to report any conduct by our Chief Executive Officer, believed to be in violation of law or business ethics or in violation of any provision of the Code of Ethics to our audit committee. 

 

5

  

OUR COMMON STOCK IS QUOTED ONLY ON THE OTC BULLENTIN BOARD (“OTCQB”), WHICH MAY HAVE AN UNFAVORABLE IMPACT ON OUR STOCK PRICE AND LIQUIDITY.

 

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB. The OTCQB is a significantly more limited market than the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market. The quotation of our shares on the OTCQB may result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential stockholders to trade shares of our common stock, could depress the trading price of our common stock and could have a long-term adverse impact on our ability to raise capital in the future.

  

There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock either now or in the future. Market liquidity will depend on the perception of our operating business and any steps that our management might take to bring us to the awareness of investors. There can be no assurance given that there will be any awareness generated. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business. As a result holders of our securities may not find purchasers for our securities should they to desire to sell them. Consequently, our securities should be purchased only by investors having no need for liquidity in their investment and who can hold our securities for an indefinite period of time.

 

OUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ARE VERY THINLY TRADED, AND THE PRICE MAY NOT REFLECT OUR VALUE AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THERE WILL BE AN ACTIVE MARKET FOR OUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK EITHER NOW OR IN THE FUTURE.

 

Our shares of common stock are very thinly traded, and the price, if traded, may not reflect our value. There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock either now or in the future. The market liquidity will be dependent on the perception of our operating business and any steps that our management might take to increase awareness of the Company with investors. There can be no assurance given that there will be any awareness generated. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business. If a more active market should develop, the price may be highly volatile. Because there may be a low price for our shares of common stock, many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in the securities. Even if an investor finds a broker willing to effect a transaction in the shares of our common stock, the combination of brokerage commissions, transfer fees, taxes, if any, and any other selling costs may exceed the selling price. Further, many lending institutions will not permit the use of such shares of common stock as collateral for loans.

 

FUTURE ISSUANCE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD DILUTE THE INTERESTS OF EXISITNG STOCKHOLDERS.

 

We may issue additional shares of our common stock in the future. The issuance of a substantial amount of common stock could have the effect of substantially diluting the interests of our current stockholders. In addition, the sale of a substantial amount of common stock in the public market, either in the initial issuance or in a subsequent resale by the target company in an acquisition which received such common stock as consideration or by investors who acquired such common stock in a private placement could have an adverse affect on the market price of our common stock.

 

THE APPLICATION OF THE SECURITY AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION’S “PENNY STOCK” RULES TO OUR COMMON STOCK COULD LIMIT TRADING ACIVITY IN THE MARKET, AND OUR STOCKHOLDERS MAY FIND IT MORE DIFFICULT TO SELL THEIR STOCK.

 

Our common stock continues to trade at less than $5.00 per share and is therefore subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) penny stock rules. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The broker-dealer must also make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit their market price and liquidity of our securities. These requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to resell our common stock.

 

6

 

WE DO NOT INTEND TO PAY DIVIDENDS FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE, AND YOU MUST RELY ON INCREASES IN THE MARKET PRICES OF OUR COMMON STOCK FOR RETURNS ON YOUR INVESTMENT.

 

For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock. Accordingly, investors must be prepared to rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation to earn an investment return, which may never occur. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our board of directors deems relevant.

  

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

All proceeds from the resale of the shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus will belong to the selling stockholders identified in this prospectus under “Selling Stockholders.” We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders.

 

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

 

The prices at which the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus may actually be sold will be determined by the prevailing public market price for shares of common stock, by negotiations between the selling security holders and buyers of our common stock in private transactions or as otherwise described in “Plan of Distribution.”

 

DILUTION

 

The Common Stock in the amount of 107,814 shares to be registered in this prospectus has no effect on the dilution of the existing common shares outstanding in the amount of 1,796,875.

 


SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS

 

The common shares being offered for resale by the Selling Security Holders consist of 107,814 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001, per share.

 

The following table sets forth the names of the selling stockholders, the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each of the selling stockholders as of June 12, 2015 and the number of shares of common stock being offered by the selling stockholders. The shares being offered hereby are being registered to permit public secondary trading, and the selling stockholders may offer all or part of the shares for resale from time to time. However, the selling stockholders are under no obligation to sell all or any portion of such shares nor are the selling stockholders obligated to sell any shares immediately upon effectiveness of this prospectus. All information with respect to share ownership has been furnished by the selling stockholders.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

This prospectus is to be used by the selling security holders in connection with a potential resale by certain seller security holders of up to an aggregate of 107,814 shares of the registrant’s Common Stock, issuable upon the effectiveness of this registration statement.

 

Each selling stockholder of our common stock and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock covered hereby on the principal trading market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

privately negotiated transactions;

 

settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;

 

in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

 

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

 

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

8

 

The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

 

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed ten percent (10%).

 

Because selling stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. The selling stockholders have advised us that there is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the selling stockholders.

 

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

Magnolia Lane Income Fund was incorporated in the state of Delaware on May 12, 2009. We were formed to commence business as a stock agent in the wool trade.

 

On May 13, 2013, we entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Ian Raleigh and Michael Raleigh (the “Sellers”) and Magnolia Lane Financial, Inc. (the “Purchaser”), whereby the Purchaser purchased from the Sellers, 10,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”), representing approximately 69.57% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. As a result, the Purchaser became the majority shareholder of the Company. 

 

In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, we have ceased pursuing our prior business plan and have begun focusing on our new business which is to manage and invest in real property.  Our current Chief Executive Officer and sole director, Brian Woodland, has numerous years in the real estate acquisition, syndication and asset management business. We intend to acquire real estate in small markets with high degrees of safety to provide income streams to our shareholders.  In addition, we will develop property, syndicate, manage and acquire property for capital appreciation.

 

In connection with this change of control and change of business, we have conducted a name change and reverse stock split. On August 1, 2013, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) to change its name from “Palmerston Stock Agency, Inc.” to “Magnolia Lane Income Fund” (the “Name Change”) and to memorialize a 8 to 1 reverse stock split (the “Stock Split”). The Amendment was effective as of August 1, 2013.

 

On August 12, 2013, the Company received approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) to effectuate the Name Change and Stock Split.  FINRA also confirmed that the new stock symbol is MIFC.

 

Our Operating Strategy

 

Our business plan is focused on managing real property. Specifically, we intend to acquire real estate in small markets with high degrees of safety to provide income streams to our shareholders. In addition, we will develop property, syndicate, manage and acquire property for capital appreciation.

On December 23, 2013, a majority shareholder, Magnolia Lane Financial, entered into three separate LLC Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreements for the acquisition of two limited liability companies, Grove Realty Partners, LLC and Walker Partners, LLC (the “Acquisition Agreements”). Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreements, Magnolia Lane Financial acquired 100% of the equity interests in Grove Realty Partners, LLC and Walker Partners, LLC. As consideration for the acquisition, Magnolia Lane Financial transferred 134,574 shares of our Common Stock to WS Advantage and Phalanx Wealth Management (the “Consideration Shares”). For purposes of the Acquisition Agreements, the parties valued the shares at $16.60 per share for a total purchase price of $2,233,928. Prior to this transaction, Magnolia Lane Financial owned 1,250,000 shares of our common stock and now owns 1,115,426 shares of our common stock. WS Advantage, LP owns 115,347 shares of our common stock and Phalanx Partners, LLC owns 19,227 shares of our common stock.

 

Subsequently, on January 16, 2014, we entered into an LLC Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement with Magnolia Lane Financial, Inc. (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, we acquired all rights, title and interest to all assets of Magnolia Lane Financial, including the assets acquired in the Acquisition Agreements, in exchange for $3,000.

 

As of January 31, 2015, real estate that we own through our subsidiaries consisted of two properties: 

 

7 Grove Street, Topsfield, Ma 01983.

Competition

 

We believe that we face a lot of competition for properties that meet our investment objectives. Many of our competitors have greater resources than we do. We compete with similarly situated entities engaged in real estate investment activities, including individuals, corporations, banks and insurance company investment accounts, REITs, real estate limited partnerships, the U.S. Government and other entities, to acquire, manage and rent real estate properties. Our competitors may demonstrate significant competitive advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital, additional access to capital and enhanced operating efficiencies. In addition, the number of entities and the amount of funds competing for suitable investments may increase which would cause our competition to increase.

 

Government Regulation

 

We do not expect any governmental regulations to have an impact on our planned business operations. Existing laws with which we must comply cover issues that include:

 

  Corporate Taxes
  Environmental

 

11

 

New laws may impact our ability to market our products in the future. However, we are not aware of any pending laws or regulations that would have an impact on our business.

 

Employees

 

As of June 12, 2015, we have no full time employees. Our President and Chief Executive Officer, Brian Woodland, spends approximately 30 hours per week on the Company’s matters. We believe this is sufficient time to successfully implement our business plan and further commence our operations. We plan to employ more qualified employees in the near future.

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS

 

Price Range of Common Stock

 

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “MIFC.” The OTCQB is a quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last-sale prices, and volume information in over-the-counter equity securities. An OTCQB equity security generally is any equity that is not listed or traded on a national securities exchange.

Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights.

 

Therefore, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Holders of our common stock representing a majority of the voting power of our capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of our stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation.

 

Although there are no provisions in our charter or by-laws that may delay, defer or prevent a change in control, we are authorized, without shareholder approval, to issue shares of preferred stock that may contain rights or restrictions that could have this effect.

 

Holders of common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. Holders of our common stock have no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our common stock.

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We have never declared or paid dividends on our common stock. We do not intend to declare dividends in the foreseeable future because we anticipate that we will reinvest any future earnings into the development and growth of our business. Any decision as to the future payment of dividends will depend on our results of operations and financial position and such other factors as our Board of Directors in its discretion deems relevant.

Results of Operations

 

For the years ended April 30, 2014 and 2013

 

Our rental revenue for the twelve months ended April 30, 2014 reflects the contribution of rental properties to the Company on January 16, 2014. Revenues were $214,235 as compared to $0 in revenue for the twelve months ended April 30, 2013. The increase in rental revenue of $214,235 is the result of the contribution of the properties on January 16, 2014. Operating expenses for the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2014 totaled $408,204, resulting in a loss of $193,969 as compared with operating expenses and loss of $16,745 for the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2013. Our operating expenses for the twelve months ended April 30, 2014 consisted of $72,443 in general and administrative fees, $62,275 in professional fees, $18,161 in repairs and maintenance, $85,097 in depreciation and $170,228 in interest expense.

Revenues were $62,200 as compared to $57,730 for the three months ended January 31, 2014. The rental revenue increased a year over year as a result of normal appreciation in tenant rents over time. Operating expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2015 totaled $121,937 resulting in a loss of $59,737, as compared with operating expenses of $94,675 for the three month period ended January 31, 2014. Our operating expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2015, consisted of $32,409 in operating costs, $24,086 in professional fees, $9,051 in repairs and maintenance, $22,271 in depreciation and $34,120 in interest expense. Our operating expenses increased for the three month period ended January 31, 2015 over January 31, 2014 due to normal escalations of services based on inflation and normal operations.

 

For the nine months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014

 

Revenues were $182,334 for the nine months ended January 31, 2015 as compared to $153,147 for the nine months ended January 31, 2014. The rental revenue increased by 29,187 from the prior year which was primarily attributable to a full nine months of operations being reflected in the current period, versus the prior period which reflects revenues earned from the date of common control of May 12, 2013 to January 2014. Operating expenses for the nine months ended January 31, 2015 were $338,782 resulting in a loss of $156,448, as compared with operating expenses of $314,502 for the nine month period ended January 31, 2014 resulting in a loss of $161,355. Our operating expenses for the nine months ended January 31, 2015, consisted of $70,855 in operating costs, $77,529 in professional fees, $16,324 in repairs and maintenance, $66,771 in depreciation and $107,303 in interest expense. Our operating expenses increased for the nine month period ended January 31, 2015 over January 31, 2014 due to normal escalations of services based on inflation and normal operations. 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of January 31, 2015 we had $13,895 cash on hand.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $2,588 for the nine months ended January 31, 2015 as compared to net cash used in operation of $(73,530) for the nine months ended January 31, 2014.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $(9,493) for the nine month ended January 31, 2015, compared with $50,298 for January 31, 2014.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $1,421 for the nine months ended January 31, 2015, compared with $146,947 for January 31, 2014.

 

Our principal sources of liquidity include cash from rental revenue and loans from shareholders to cover mortgage obligations.

 

The Company anticipates that the combination of its current cash balance, cash flows from continuing operations and availability of loans from related parties should be adequate to sustain our operations. We will seek alternative methods of financing to meet any cash shortfall. 

 

Mortgage Obligations

 

58 Main Street

 

On January 16, 2014, the Company assumed a mortgage note payable to a third-party, unrelated to the seller, on a property located at 58 Main Street, Topsfield, Massachusetts.   The note bears interest at 6.75% per annum and is due August 26, 2019.  Monthly principal and interest payments totaling $4,320 started on September 26, 2009 and will continue through the maturity date.  The mortgage note is secured by a mortgage on the property. At maturity, the balloon payment will be due in full. The remaining principal balance as of January 31, 2015 is $546,700.

 

16

 

7 Grove Street

 

On January 16, 2014, the Company assumed a mortgage note payable to a third-party, unrelated to the seller, on a property located at 7 Grove Street, Topsfield, Massachusetts.   The note bore interest at 7.9 % per annum and was scheduled to mature on September 5, 2032.  Monthly payments of $17,775 started on October 5, 2008.  The mortgage note was secured by a mortgage on the property. At maturity, the balloon payment was to be due in full.

 

On April 12, 2014, the mortgage note payable on the property at 7 Grove Street was paid in full by a shareholder. On that same date, a new mortgage payable was established between the Company and its majority shareholder for an amount equal to the balance that was remaining on the original mortgage.  The new related party mortgage payable began on April 12, 2014 and is a 5-year fixed loan at 5.5% interest, with a balloon payment on May 15, 2019 for the outstanding balance.  Interest only payments began on May 15, 2014 in the amount of $6,536.

 

Related Party Loans

 

From time to time, the Company receives loans and advances from Phalanx Partners and WS Advantage LP for working capital purposes.  Phalanx Partners and WS Advantage LP formerly held equity interests in Grove Realty Partners, LLC and Walker Partners, LLC and are currently controlled by the Company’s president and are shareholders.

 

An aggregate of $454,581 has been received from related parties for working capital purposes and debt and expenses paid on the Company’s behalf. These advances are interest-free and payable upon demand. During the three and nine months ended January 31, 2015, the Company has imputed interest on the notes at a rate of 6.75% percent totaling $7,635 and $20,967 respectively.

 

During the three month and nine months ended January 31, 2015, the Company received $9,000 and $27,000 in rental income from Phalanx Partners, who occupies an office in one of the Company’s properties.

 

We believe that our currently available working capital and availability of loans from related parties referred to above should be adequate to sustain our operations at the current level for the next twelve months. Should we not be able to meet our current financial needs, the Company will seek alternative methods of financing, such as issuing convertible debt or introducing additional shares of its common stock into the market.

been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);

Term of Office

 

Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board. 

 

Board Committees

 

Our Board of Directors has no separate committees and our Board of Directors acts as the audit committee and the compensation committee.  We do not have an audit committee financial expert serving on our Board of Directors. 

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock to file initial reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC.

 

Based solely upon a review of copies of such forms filed on Forms 3, 4, and 5, and amendments thereto, furnished to us, we believe that as of the end of our fiscal year, April 30, 2014, our executive officers, directors and greater than 10 percent beneficial owners have complied on a timely basis with all Section 16(a) filing requirements, with the exception of our officers, directors and greater than 10 percent beneficial owners listed in the table below:

Code of Ethics

 

We have not adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions, because of the small number of persons involved in the management of the Company.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION OF SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

 

Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the Delaware corporate law and our Bylaws. We have agreed to indemnify each of our directors and certain officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

We have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy to a court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the court’s decision.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors

Magnolia Lane Income Fund

Topsfield, Massachusetts

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Magnolia Lane Income Fund (the "company") as of April 30, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of its internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Magnolia Lane Income Fund as of April 30, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the company has an accumulated deficit of $315,421 and net cash used in operations of $119,280. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

MAGNOLIA LANE INCOME FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

 

Magnolia Lane Income Fund, formerly known as Palmerston Stock Agency, Inc.  (the “Company,” ”We,” “Ours,” “Us”), a development stage company, was incorporated on May 12, 2009 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company was originally formed to commence business as a stock agent in the wool trade.

 

On May 13, 2013, we entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Ian Raleigh and Michael Raleigh (the “Sellers”) and Magnolia Lane Financial, Inc. (the “Purchaser”), whereby the Purchaser purchased from the Sellers, 10,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”), representing approximately 69.57% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. As a result, the Purchaser became the majority shareholder of the Company.

 

In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, we have ceased pursuing our prior business plan and have begun focusing on our new business which is to manage and invest in real property.  Our current Chief Executive Officer and sole director, Brian Woodland, has numerous years in the real estate acquisition, syndication and asset management business. We intend to acquire real estate in small markets with high degrees of safety to provide income streams to our shareholders.  In addition, we will develop property, syndicate, manage and acquire property for capital appreciation.

 

In connection with this change of control and change of business, we have conducted a name change and reverse stock split. On August 1, 2013, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to change our name from “Palmerston Stock Agency, Inc.” to “Magnolia Lane Income Fund” and to memorialize an 8 to 1 reverse stock split.

 

On August 12, 2013, the Company received approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) to effectuate the Name Change and Stock Split.  FINRA also confirmed that the new stock symbol is MIFC.

 

On January 16, 2014, the Company entered into an LLC Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement with Magnolia Lane Financial, Inc. (a shareholder). Pursuant to the Agreement, all rights, title and interest of two commercial real estate properties in Massachusetts were contributed to the Company. (See Note 4)

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 as well as the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

 

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash consists of cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to withdrawal or use under the terms of certain contractual agreements. The Company’s restricted cash is reserved for real estate taxes on its properties.

 Net loss per common share

 

Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive outstanding shares of common stock during the period.

 

There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding for any periods presented.

Income Taxes

 

The Company utilizes the asset and liability method to measure and record deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the future income tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and are measured using enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

The Company follows the provisions of Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which clarified the accounting for uncertainties in tax positions and required that the Company recognizes in its financial statements the impact of an uncertain tax position, if that position has more likely than not chance of not being sustained on audit, based on technical merits of that position.

 

The Company is subject to the United States federal and state income tax examinations by the tax authorities for the 2013, 2012, and 2011 tax years.

 

Property Revenue Recognition

 

Our commercial property leases are for varied terms ranging from month-to-month to 3 years. Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

 

Rent concessions, including free rent incurred in connection with commercial property leases, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases and are charged as a reduction of rental revenue.

 

Impairment of Real Estate Investments

 

The Company assesses on a regular basis whether there are any indicators that the carrying value of rental property assets may be impaired. Potential indicators may include an increase in vacancy at a property, tenant reduction in utilization of a property, tenant financial instability and the potential sale of the property in the near future. An asset is determined to be impaired if the asset’s carrying value is in excess of its estimated fair value.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

From time to time, some rental payments may be prepaid by tenants, but not earned yet by the Company. Such revenue is initially recorded as a deferred liability and is recognized as revenue once earned. As of April 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had $4,800 and $0 in deferred revenue, respectively.

 

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $315,421 and net cash used in operations of $119,280. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

 

NOTE 4 – ASSETS CONTRIBUTED

 

On December 23, 2013, a shareholder of the Company, Magnolia Lane Financial, Inc. entered into three separate LLC Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreements for the acquisition of two limited liability companies; Grove Realty Partners, LLC and Walker Partners, LLC. Pursuant to the Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreements, Magnolia Lane Financial, Inc. acquired 100% of the equity interests in Grove Realty Partners, LLC and Walker Partners, LLC.

Pursuant to the Agreement, Magnolia Lane Financial, Inc. contributed all rights, title and interest of Magnolia Lane Financial to the Company for total consideration of $3,000.

 

Because of the related party nature of this transaction, the Company recorded this as a contribution of capital.

The results of operations included in the financial statements are reported as though the contribution had occurred on May 12, 2013, which is the date that common control was first established among the related parties.

NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES

FASB ASC 740-10 provides guidance for the recognition and measurement of certain tax positions in an enterprise’s financial statements. Recognition involves a determination of whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination with the presumption that the tax position will be examined by the appropriate taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information.

Pursuant to FASB ASC 740-10-10, an entity recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences or events that have been previously recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on provisions of enacted tax law. The effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated.

At April 30, 2014, the Company has net operating loss (“NOL”) carry–forwards for Federal income tax purposes of approximately $190,000 that may be offset against future taxable income through 2034.  Due to changes in ownership, approximately $121,000 of the NOL carry-forward may be subject to certain annual limitations imposed under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. At this time, the amount of the limitation has not been determined, since the Company has not completed its Section 382 study. Deferred tax assets would arise from the recognition of anticipated utilization of these net operating losses to offset future taxable income. No tax benefit has been reported with respect to these deferred tax assets in the accompanying financial statements because of Management’s assertion that it is more likely than not that the Company’s deferred tax assets of $548,647 will not be realized and accordingly, the deferred tax assets are offset by a full valuation allowance.  

Deferred Tax Assets  April 30,
2014
   April 30,
2013
 
Net Operating Loss  $68,631   $41,294 
Book to tax basis difference on depreciable assets   480,016     
Total Deferred Tax Asset   548,647    41,294 
Valuation allowance   (548,647)   (41,294)
Net Deferred Tax Asset  $   $ 

 

NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company has evaluated all events that occur after the balance sheet date through the date when the financial statements were issued to determine if they must be reported.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

 

Magnolia Lane Income Fund, formerly known as Palmerston Stock Agency, Inc.  (the “Company,” ”We,” “Ours,” “Us”), was incorporated on May 12, 2009 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company was originally formed to commence business as a stock agent in the wool trade.

 

On May 13, 2013, we entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Ian Raleigh and Michael Raleigh (the “Sellers”) and Magnolia Lane Financial, Inc. (the “Purchaser”), whereby the Purchaser purchased from the Sellers, 10,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”), representing approximately 69.57% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. As a result, the Purchaser became the majority shareholder of the Company. 

 

In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, we have ceased pursuing our prior business plan and have begun focusing on our new business which is to manage and invest in real property.  Our current Chief Executive Officer and sole director, Brian Woodland, has numerous years in the real estate acquisition, syndication and asset management business. We intend to acquire real estate in small markets with high degrees of safety to provide income streams to our shareholders.  In addition, we will develop property, syndicate, manage and acquire property for capital appreciation.

 

In connection with this change of control and change of business, we have conducted a name change and reverse stock split. On August 1, 2013, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to change our name from “Palmerston Stock Agency, Inc.” to “Magnolia Lane Income Fund” and to memorialize an 8 to 1 reverse stock split.

 

On August 12, 2013, the Company received approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) to effectuate the Name Change and Stock Split.  FINRA also confirmed that the new stock symbol is MIFC.

 

On January 16, 2014, the Company entered into an LLC Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement with Magnolia Lane Financial, Inc. (a shareholder). Pursuant to the Agreement, all rights, title and interest of two commercial real estate properties in Massachusetts were contributed to the Company. (See Note 4)

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF ACCONTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. In accordance with ASC 850-50, the consolidated financial statements for the periods ended October 31, 2013 have been recast to give effect to the contribution of the real estate properties, as described in Note 4, as occurring on May 13, 2013, which is the earliest date the entities were under common control.

 

Principles of consolidation

F-18

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 as well as the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

 

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash consists of cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to withdrawal or use under the terms of certain contractual agreements. The Company’s restricted cash is reserved for real estate taxes on its properties.

 

Concentrations

 

Concentration in a geographic area

 

The Company operates in the real estate industry and the operations are concentrated in the State of Massachusetts.

 

Rental Property, Net

 

Rental property assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the asset.

 

We capitalize replacements and improvements, such as HVAC equipment, structural replacements, windows, appliances, flooring, carpeting and renovations. Ordinary repairs and maintenance, such as unit cleaning, painting and appliance repairs, are expensed when incurred.

  

Asset   Useful Life
(in years)
Building   30 years
Land   Indefinite
Building Improvements   30 years

 

Net loss per common share

 

Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive outstanding shares of common stock during the period.

 

There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding for any periods presented.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company utilizes the asset and liability method to measure and record deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the future income tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and are measured using enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

F-19

 

The Company follows the provisions of Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which clarified the accounting for uncertainties in tax positions and required that the Company recognizes in its financial statements the impact of an uncertain tax position, if that position has more likely than not chance of not being sustained on audit, based on technical merits of that position.

 

The Company is subject to the United States federal and state income tax examinations by the tax authorities for the 2014, 2013, and 2012 tax years.

 

Property Revenue Recognition

 

Our commercial property leases are for varied terms ranging from month-to-month to 3 years. Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

 

Rent concessions, including free rent incurred in connection with commercial property leases, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases and are charged as a reduction of rental revenue.

 

Impairment of Real Estate Investments

 

The Company assesses on a regular basis whether there are any indicators that the carrying value of rental property assets may be impaired. Potential indicators may include an increase in vacancy at a property, tenant reduction in utilization of a property, tenant financial instability and the potential sale of the property in the near future. An asset is determined to be impaired if the asset’s carrying value is in excess of its estimated fair value.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

From time to time, some rental payments may be prepaid by tenants, but not earned yet by the Company. Such revenue is initially recorded as a deferred liability and is recognized as revenue once earned. As of January 31, 2015 and April 30, 2014, the Company had $8,325 and $4,800 in deferred revenue, respectively.

 

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.  As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $471,869, and its stockholders’ deficit is $154,613. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

NOTE 4 – ASSETS CONTRIBUTED

 

On December 23, 2013, a shareholder of the Company, Magnolia Lane Financial, Inc. entered into three separate LLC Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreements for the acquisition of two limited liability companies; Grove Realty Partners, LLC and Walker Partners, LLC. Pursuant to the Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreements, Magnolia Lane Financial, Inc. acquired 100% of the equity interests in Grove Realty Partners, LLC and Walker Partners, LLC.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the Nevada corporate law and our Bylaws. We have agreed to indemnify each of our directors and certain officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 17. Undertakings.

 

(A) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

i.    To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

ii.   To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

  

iii.  To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. 

 

26

  

(4) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. 

 

(5) Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
