NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2015

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION

 

(A) Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations.

 

It is management’s opinion however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made, which are necessary for a fair financial statements presentation.  The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

 

Nuts and Bolts International, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on August 21, 2013 to create and publish electronic non-fiction books (“eBooks”) through the internet. The Company creates and distributes high quality, multimedia eBooks for the hobby and do-it-yourself consumer markets.

 

Nuts and Bolts Publishing, LLC was organized under the laws of the State of North Carolina on August 22, 2013.

  

(B) Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nuts and Bolts International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Nuts and Bolts Publishing, LLC (collectively, the “Company”).  All intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

(C) Use of Estimates

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates include valuation of in kind contribution of services, valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(D) Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At October 31, 2015 and July 31, 2015, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

(E) Loss Per Share

 

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by FASB ASC No. 260, “Earnings Per Share.” As of October 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no common share equivalents outstanding.

 

(F) Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2015

(UNAUDITED)

 

(G) Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset or the underlying lease term for leasehold improvements, whichever is shorter.

 

Additions are capitalized and maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses on dispositions of equipment are reflected in other income.

 

(H) Revenue Recognition

 

The Company will recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition”.  In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company will generate revenue from the sale of eBooks which will sell from $2.00 to $10.00. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of online courses when the course is purchased and the right of return has ended, net of commissions paid and discounts.

 

(I) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts on the Company’s financial instruments including accounts payable and note payable, approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

 

(J) Concentration of Credit Risk

 

At October 31, 2015 and July 31, 2015, accounts receivable of $25 and $0, respectively, consisted of receivables from the online courses on the online publishing platform www.udemy.com.

 

(K) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2014-15 on “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) - Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this Update are effective for public and nonpublic entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

(UNAUDITED)

 

In August 2015, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No.2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date” defers the effective date ASU No. 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. All other entities may apply the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities also may apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning one year after the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

All other newly issued accounting pronouncements but not yet effective have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

NOTE 7

GOING CONCERN

 

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has minimal operations, has working capital deficit of $57,010 and stockholder’s deficit of $56,429 used cash in operations of $14,045 and has a net loss of $39,996 for the three months ended October 31, 2015. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. 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 actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

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

 

The following plan of operations provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read along with our financial statements and notes thereto. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results, expectations and plans discussed in these forward-looking statements.

 

Overview

 

The Company was established on August 21, 2013 to publish eBooks under the Nuts and Bolts brand name. Earlier in 2013, the Company’s founder began developing the concept for an eBook publisher that would produce products that would appeal to tablet and Smartphone users who were eager to learn more about their hobbies and interests. The family of our founder, President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, and Director, Michael Hillerbrand, includes numerous published authors and professional educators.

 

Mr. Hillerbrand, our sole officer, believes the increased popularity of eBooks in the United States is due to certain industry and social trends that should continue for at least the next few years. The Company believes that the principal changes that have contributed to growth in the eBook market are (1) the emergence of eBook readers, tablet computers and Smartphones that make reading eBooks more convenient than a traditional print book, (2) the low cost of production and distribution of eBooks, and (3) the continued consumer interest in consuming media electronically rather than in the traditional print format.

 

The Company conducts its business through its wholly-owned operating subsidiary Nuts and Bolts Publishing, LLC (“NABP”) which conducts its business worldwide by delivering eBooks through the Internet. As of March 25, 2015, NABP, using the marketing name Nuts and Bolts Press, has published two eBooks – one was published in October 2014 and one was published in November 2014. The Company has also recently published the first series of online courses on the online publishing platform www.udemy.com.

 

The Company’s strategy is to publish new titles on a regular basis, increasing output each year of operation. As the eBook catalog increases in size, brand awareness and profit margins are projected to increase. Titles will be carefully researched based on consumer search engine topic queries and eBook content will be specifically tailored to match high consumer interests. Formats will be tested to ensure learning effectiveness and positive consumer reception. The eBook electronic format will facilitate easy, low-cost updates and format changes.

 

The eBook creation process starts with market research. This research consists of identifying the categories of current “best sellers” published by other companies and identifying topics in market niches that have a high number of Google and Bing searches, but where such searches result in limited competitive advertising for books. Both of these market research methods are good indicators of potentially profitable eBook titles.

 

The next step in developing eBook titles is to rank this list of potential titles/topics by potential profitability. The ranking order of titles is dynamic and is revised as new topics are identified. Periodically the top titles are moved off the potential title list and put on the production list.

 

Even when a title is published, development is ongoing. Because the eBooks are published electronically, they can be easily modified. If an existing eBook title is not meeting sales expectations, it can be edited, combined with other titles, or re-titled. Edits can be made to enhance the quality of the titles or to add new material.

 

The creation of new titles can range in the time required, depending on familiarity the author has with the subject matter and whether the title is derived from a print book in the public domain or is an original work of the author. Original works on topics unfamiliar to the author take the longest amount of time to produce. The shortest time frame from conception to publication would be about four weeks and the longest could be six months to a year or more. The Company is focused on the titles that have the highest sales potential and the shortest turnaround time to publication.

  

In August 2015, the Company published its first digital multimedia “self-help” course on how to start a freelancing business. The course teaches anyone how to start their own freelancing business. Using the digital publishing platform, www.udemy.com , the course uses 15 audio/video lectures, totaling 75 minutes of content, to teach enrolled students. In addition, 10 worksheets and quizzes are also included. The course currently has over 1,900 students enrolled from 7 countries has received 100% positive reviews from enrolled students.

 

While the student enrollment and response has been very positive, sales have been negligible. According to the Udemy Terms of Service, sales revenues are held in reserve for 1-3 months to offset any refunds before being distributed to the publisher (the Company). In addition, Udemy has the right to advertise courses for sale prices well below the sales price set by the publisher and collects a sales commission of 50% for all sales Udemy generates from its promotional efforts. Also, the majority of students registered for the course redeemed “try it free” promotional coupons. Sales revenues are expected to be earned in the first fiscal quarter of 2016. Management is currently conducting tests on the impact of course title and description copy on increasing sales conversions. Management is carefully evaluating whether publishing additional multimedia courses makes economic sense.

 

 

While the student response has been positive, the revenue generated has been below projections. Management is currently conducting tests on the impact of course title and description copy on increasing sales conversions. In this context, management is evaluating whether publishing additional multimedia courses makes economic sense.

 

Mr. Hillerbrand is expected to produce all of the Company’s eBook titles until the Company achieves positive cash flow. Thereafter, the production of new eBooks or multimedia courses will be contracted out to other authors, and Mr. Hillerbrand will provide editorial services for these publications.

 

Plan of Operation

 

The Company’s strategy is to publish new titles on a regular basis, increasing output each year of operation. The Company currently has three books in its catalog. These are in the business “How To” category and humor category and are available for purchase on the Company’s website: www.nutsandboltspress.com. As the eBook catalog increases in size, brand awareness and profit margins are projected to increase. Titles will be carefully researched based on consumer search engine topic queries and eBook content will be specifically tailored to match high consumer interests. Formats will be tested to ensure effectiveness and positive consumer reception. Given the fact that the Company is marketing its products to both mature and growing consumer markets, it is anticipated that its marketing strategy will continue to change and evolve over time.

 

The Company is currently testing the expansion of its strategy to publish digital multimedia courses rather than eBooks. It is currently evaluating the results from the publication of its first course on how to start a freelancing business that was published on the Udemy publishing platform (www.udemy.com). While the student response has been positive, the revenue generated has been below projections and management is evaluating whether publishing additional multimedia courses makes economic sense.

 

Limited Operating History

 

The founder of the Company began developing the concept for an eBook publishing company in early 2013. The Company was formed and began operations on August 21, 2013. Prior to that time, the Company had no operations upon which an evaluation of the Company and its prospects could be based. There can be no assurance that management of the Company will be successful in completing the Company’s product development programs, implementing the corporate infrastructure to support operations at the levels called for by the Company’s business plan, conclude a successful sales and marketing plan to attain significant penetration of the eBook market or that the Company will generate sufficient revenues to meet its expenses or to achieve or maintain profitability.

 

Going Concern

 

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has minimal operations, has working capital deficit of $57,010 and stockholder’s deficit of $56,429, net used cash in operations of $14,045 and has a net loss of $39,996 for the three months ended October 31, 2015. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. 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 actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

  

Results of Operations

 

For the three months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014

 

Operating expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2015 totaled $40,031 resulting in a loss of $39,996, as compared with operating expenses of $31,365 and a loss of 31,365 for the three month period ended October 31, 2014. Our operating expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2015, consisted of $6,206 in professional fees and $33,825 in general and administrative expenses, compared with $9,106 in professional fees and $22,265 in general and operating expenses for the three month period ended October 31, 2015.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At the date hereof, we have minimal cash at hand. We require additional capital to implement our business and fund our operations.

 

Additional funding may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. The Company intends to continue to fund its business by way of equity or debt financing and advances from related parties. In the event we seek to raise additional capital through the issuance of debt or its equivalents, this will result in increased interest expense. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our company held by existing shareholders will be reduced and those shareholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities may contain certain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our common stock. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise the working capital as needed in the future on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

 

The Company currently has $4,446 of cash on hand. Our current cash burn rate is approximately $9,900 per month. At the current rate, the Company has resources to last until approximately November 15, 2015.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We have identified the policies outlined below as critical to our business operations and an understanding of our results of operations. The list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, with no need for management's judgment in their application.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC Topic 740 income taxes (“ASC Topic 740”). Under ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC Topic 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company will recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition”.  In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company will generate revenue from the sale of eBooks which will sell from $2.00 to $10.00. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of online courses when the course is purchased and the right of return has ended, net of commissions paid and discounts.

  

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2014-15 on “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) - Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this Update are effective for public and nonpublic entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

 

In August 2015, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No.2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date” defers the effective date ASU No. 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. All other entities may apply the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities also may apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning one year after the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's CEO and CFO concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure as a result of continuing material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting.

 

During the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, our management identified material weaknesses related to the lack of requisite U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) expertise of our Chief Financial Officer and our internal bookkeeper. This lack of expertise to prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP without the assistance of the outside accounting consultant hired to ensure that our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP constitutes a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. In order to mitigate the material weakness, we engaged an outside accounting consultant to assist us in the preparation of our financial statements to ensure that these financial statements are prepared in conformity to U.S. GAAP. This outside accounting consultant has significant experience in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. We believe that the engagement of this consultant will lessen the possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of this action and make any changes that our management deems appropriate. We expect to continue to rely on this outside consulting arrangement to supplement our internal accounting staff for the foreseeable future. Until such time as we hire the proper internal accounting staff with the requisite U.S. GAAP experience, however, it is unlikely we will be able to remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes that occurred to our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

  

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

None.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide the information required by this item.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

On September 17, 2015, the Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock to a private investor in exchange for $10,000 ($0.10/share). 

 

The above issuances of shares are exempt from registration, pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. These securities qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act since the issuance securities by us did not involve a public offering. The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of securities offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of securities to a high number of investors. In addition, these stockholders had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to and received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a “public offering.” Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for this transaction. 

 

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

 

None.

 

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 5. Other Information.
