Company


We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 18, 2014


We are in the business of selling Bubble Tea from mobile stands in Romania.  Our model is kiosk-based operations that rely heavily on pass-by traffic. Because of it, we are looking for locations with existing traffic, such as shopping malls, street corners, flea markets, schools, colleges, universities, transportation hubs, such as bus, ferries, or train stations. At the same time, mobility of our  kiosks allows us to place them temporarily  in expo shows, sport games and concerts. The strategic role of Tapioca Corp. is centered around three objectives:


·

To stay at the forefront as the market leader in innovative product introductions and successful product launches;

·

To strengthen and satisfy the needs of the more adventurous Generation Y consumers with a new eye-catching and FUNctional product;

·

To become the market leader in the functional drinks segment with increased market shares.


We have begun by purchasing one Bubble Tea machine and stand. Our next planned phase is to place our equipment in the malls in Bucharest and the Metropolitan area. We plan to spread our operation throughout Romanias major cities: Bucharest, Iași and Cluj. We have not decided on the future size or cost of our expansion at this time. We will be following our business plan from one city to another.  The expansion will be funded from our future revenues and additional sale of our shares. The time frame of the expansion will depend solely on the availability of funding from the revenue.

The business steps are as follows:


a)

Purchase additional equipment and Mall Customized Bubble Tea Stands from China


b)

Buy necessary supplies locally or within the European Union.


c)

Place stands



PRODUCT


Our product will be Tapioca Bubble Tea. Bubble tea is a mixture of iced or hot sweetened tea, milk, and often other flavors. The distinctive characteristics of Bubble Tea are the black gummy balls made of tapioca, or, more commonly in East Asia, yam starch-, called pearls or boba or balls that sit at the bottom of the cup. The pearls are larger than those found in tapioca pudding, with a diameter of at least 6 millimeters, but smaller ones are occasionally used. They are generally translucent brown with a darker brown center, although pearls of other colors or Jelly cubes have also recently become available. The original Bubble Tea consisted of a hot Taiwanese black tea, tapioca pearls, condensed milk, and honey. As this drink became more popular, variations were created. Initially iced versions with a hint of peach or plum flavors began to appear, and then more fruit flavors were added. They usually contain colored pearls that are chosen to match whatever fruit juice is used, in addition to brightly colored oversize straws for sucking up the pearls.


Bubble tea is generally split into two types: fruit-flavored teas, and milk teas. Milk teas may use dairy or non-dairy creamers. The mixtures that make up Bubble Tea vary. Several examples of flavors are strawberry,  passion fruit, mango, chocolate, and coconut, and may be added in the form of powder, fruit juice, pulp, or syrup to hot black or green tea, which is shaken in a cocktail shaker or mixed in a blender with ice until chilled. The mixture is usually combined with milk and cooked tapioca pearls.


These tapioca pearls are made mostly of tapioca starch, which comes from the tapioca, or bitter-cassava plant. In other parts of the world, the bitter-cassava plant may be called manioca or yucca. Cassava is native to South America, and was introduced to Asia in the 1800s. The balls are prepared by boiling for 25 minutes, until they are cooked thoroughly but have not lost pliancy, and then cooled for 25 minutes. After cooking they last about 7 hours. The pearls have little taste, and are usually soaked in sugar or honey solutions.


TARGET MARKET


Customers are likely to be:


Younger and older people may consider Bubble Tea a novelty and luxury alternative to the lunchtime or after-work coffee.


Although it contains sugar, Bubble Tea is a much healthier alternative to carbonated fizzy drinks and may therefore appeal to health conscious consumers.

 

5

 




It is popular for people to hold meetings such as craft circles and book groups in local cafés and coffee shops and a Bubble Tea café could appeal as an unusual alternative.


Due to its fairly new status, Bubble Tea has a certain novelty value that might appeal to people looking to try different tastes and flavors.


MARKETS


The Romania Tapioca Bubble Tea is still a virgin market with very few existing competitors. The dominant target market for Capital Bubble Tea Cafe is a regular stream of local residents. Personal and expedient customer service at a competitive price is a key for maintaining the local market share of this target market. Our stands would be ideal anywhere with high foot traffic, such as shopping malls, college or university campuses, bus or trains stations and airports. And at the same time, mobility of our stands will allow as to be able to operate on trade shows, conferences and festivals.


MARKETING


Initially we plan to place our stands in the shopping malls. Our company ads and commercials will be placed in malls advertising magazines, and internal commercials. We expect the facilities and signage to be a substantial portion of our advertising. Word of mouth has always proven to be the greatest advertising program a company can instill. In addition, we will be hiring marketing company that does mailbox mailer. Mailbox mailer is simply going around the area close to where our stands are and placing coupons in the mail box.


There will be several sales strategies put into place, including posting specials on high, profit items at the window. The staff will also hand out free drink coupons to those who have purchased a certain number of cups. 


We plan to host tasting events for customers on a quarterly basis. Each quarter, at the introduction of each season, Capital Bubble Tea Cafe will be adjusting its menu to reflect the changes in the flavors served. Drink Coupons, This encourages the person to come in for their free beverage and bring a friend. Chamber of Commerce and Professional Memberships, Because of the need to sell our services, we will be an active participant in the Regional Chamber, local Chambers of Commerce, food service Associations, and Specialty Beverage Associations. The exposure and education that these organizations provide is outstanding, but equally important are the contacts and opportunities made available.


Strategy and Implementation

Bubble tea cafes shops are heavily reliant on impulse buying and passing trade. Therefore they will benefit from a strong image that is attractive to clearly identifiable types of customer. Issues to consider when developing a Bubble Tea cafes client base include:


Visibility - location will be vital. However, high street sites may be difficult to obtain due to high rent and intense competition, particularly from major chains.


Ease of access - other locations to consider includes those close to transport, e.g. near railway and bus stations.

 

6

 




Advertising in a variety of local publications will increase knowledge of our locations and a favorable review in the local media will increase interest.


Promotional offers - most Bubble Tea cafes attract younger customers, therefore promoting the business to older age groups may be worthwhile.


Word of mouth recommendation will also be important therefore it is important that we offer good customer service. We will be offering high quality Bubble Tea, with personal service at a competitive price. Our competitive edge is the relatively low level of competition in the local area in this particular niche.

MARKET INFORMATION


There is a limited public market for our common shares.  Our common shares are not quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board at this time.  Trading in stocks quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may be unrelated to a companys operations or business prospects.  We cannot assure you that there will be a market in the future for our common stock.

 

OTC Bulletin Board securities are not listed or traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange.  Instead, OTC Bulletin Board securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks.  OTC Bulletin Board issuers are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.


As of October 31, 2015, no shares of our common stock have traded

As of October 31, 2015, the 5,460,000 issued and outstanding shares of common stock were held by a total of 29 shareholders of record.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this annual report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs.  Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.   Our audited financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


We have incurred recurring losses to date. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation.


We expect we will require additional capital to meet our long term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through, among other things, the sale of equity or debt securities.


FISCAL YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2015 COMPARED TO OCTOBER 31, 2014.


REVENUE

We recognized revenue of $1,180 for the year ended October 31, 2015, compare to $0.00 for the period from April 18, 2014(Inception) to October 31, 2014. Our Cost of Goods Sold was $200 for the year ended October 31, 2015, compare to $0.00 for the period from April 18, 2014(Inception) to October 31, 2014. Our Gross profit was $980 for the year ended October 31, 2015, compare to $0.00 for the period from April 18, 2014(Inception) to October 31, 2014


OPERATING EXPENSES  

We incurred operating expenses of $27,960 for year ended October 31, 2015, compare to $75 for the period from April 18, 2014(Inception) to October 31, 2014. Our operating expenses consisted of bank service charges $711 (October 31, 2014-$112), accounting fees $9,050 (October 31, 2014-$0), legal fees $500 (October 31, 2014-$0), amortisation $1,167 (October 31, 2014-$0), transfer agent $15,000 (October 31, 2014-$0) and regulatory filings $1,532 (October 31, 2014-$0). Expenses incurred during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015 as compared to period ended October 31, 2014 increased primarily due to the increased scale and scope of business operations.  

 

11

 




NET LOSSES

Our net loss for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015was $26,980 compared to a net loss of $75 as of October 31, 2014 due to the factors discussed above.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of October 31, 2015, our total assets were $6,495 comprised of cash $662 and net fixed assets of $5,833. Our total liabilities were $10,450 comprised of a loan from director. As of October 31, 2014, our total assets were $8,425 comprising of cash $1,425 and net fixed assets of $7,000. Our total liabilities were $5,000 comprised of a loan from director.


Shareholders equity has decreased from $3,425 as of October 31, 2014 to a deficit of $3,955 as of October 31, 2015. Deficit was due to the increase in operating expenses.


The Company has accumulated a deficit of $27,055 as of October 31, 2015 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.  


The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and, or, obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, sales, loans from directors and, or, the private placement of common stock.  


Because of the Companys history of losses, its independent auditors, in the report on the financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2015 and October31, 2014. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that could result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund operating expenses The Company intends to position itself so that it may be able to raise additional funds through the capital markets. In light of managements efforts, there are no assurances that the Company will be successful in this or any of its endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern.


CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES

We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015, net cash flows used in operating activities was $25,813 compared to $75 for October 31, 2014 .


CASH FLOWS FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES

We neither used nor generated cash from investing activities for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015 and compare to $7,000 cash used for October 31, 2014.

 

12

 




CASH FLOW FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES

We have financed our operations primarily from the sale of shares of our common stock or by way of loan from our director. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015, net cash from financing activities was $25,050 consisting of a loan from a director $5,450 share issuance $19,600. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014, net cash provided by financing activities was $8,500 consisting of a loan from a director $5,000 and share issuance $3,500.


PLAN OF OPERATION AND FUNDING

We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of the private placement of equity, and debt instruments. We expect that working capital requirements will continue to be funded through a combination of our existing funds, sales, loans from a director and further issuances of securities. Our working capital requirements are expected to increase in line with the growth of our business


We are planning to raise $100,000 through public offering. There is no assurance that full amount, or any amount, will be obtained. The following table sets forth the uses of proceeds for the twelve months assuming the funding of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%, respectively:

There is no assurance that our company will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued working capital requirements.


There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation of our business is dependent upon public offering and achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

 

13

 




Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, in their report on our audited consolidated financial statements our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates that we will realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.


Future Financing Requirements


We will need to obtain proper funding from equity and/or additional debt financing in order to be able to fulfill our projections. Failure to generate sufficient revenues, raise additional capital or reduce certain discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our business objectives and will greatly affect our ability to continue as a going concern.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


The Company does not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.




GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company currently has capital working capital deficit, has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time and currently does not have the funding available to implement its business plan. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.


 

Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund operating expenses The Company intends to position itself so that it will be able to raise additional funds through the capital markets. In light of managements efforts, there are no assurances that the Company will be successful in this or any of its endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern.


SUMMARY OF SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Basis of presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which management believes are necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations stockholders deficit and cash flows of the Company for the year ending October 31, 2015

 

14

 




Use of Estimates

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


Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with the original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had $662 of cash as of October 31, 2015, and 1,425 as of October 31, 2014.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.


These tiers include:


Level 1: defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2:  defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

Level 3:  defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.


The carrying value of cash and the Companys loan from shareholder approximates its fair value due to their short-term maturity.


Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on the straight line method over the estimated life of the asset, which is 5 years.


Income Taxes

Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method.  Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws.  A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.

Revenue Recognition

The Company will recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification No. 605, Revenue Recognition ("ASC-605"), ASC-605 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company will defer any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.


Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 718.  To date, the Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.


Basic Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes income (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings per Share which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.  Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. For the year ended October 31, 2015 there were no potentially dilutive debt or equity instruments issued or outstanding and any such shares would have been excluded from the computation because they would have been anti-dilutive as the Company incurred losses in these periods.


Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is defined as all changes in stockholders' equity (deficit), exclusive of transactions with owners, such as capital investments. Comprehensive income includes net income or loss, changes in certain assets and liabilities that are reported directly in equity such as translation adjustments on investments in foreign subsidiaries and unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities. From our inception there were no differences between our comprehensive loss and net loss.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-10, Development Stage Entities.  The amendments in this update remove the definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of the ASC thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from U.S. GAAP.  In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. The amendments in this update are applied retrospectively.  The adoption of ASU 2014-10 removed the development stage entity financial reporting requirements for the Company.


We have reviewed all the recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and we do not believe any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company other than those relating to Development Stage Entities as discussed above.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Board of Directors

Tapioca, Corp.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Tapioca Corp. as of October 31, 2015 and 2014 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the period ended October 31, 2015 and for the period from April 18, 2014 (inception) to October 31, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

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 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 audit included consideration of 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, subject to the following paragraph, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tapioca Corp. as of October 31, 2015 and 2014 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the period ended October 31, 2015 and for the period from April 18, 2014 (inception) to October 31, 2014 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note #2 to the financial statements, although the Company has limited operations it has yet to attain profitability. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note #2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

TAPIOCA CORP.

Notes to the Audited Financial Statements

October 31, 2015

(Expressed in US Dollars)


1.

Nature of Operations

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which management believes are necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations, stockholders deficit and cash flows of the Company as of October 31, 2015 and from April 18, 2014 (Inception) to October 31, 2014.


TAPIOCA CORP. (the Company, we, us or our) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 18, 2014. We are a development-stage company formed to sell Bubble Tea from mobile stands in Romania.


2.

GOING CONCERN


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company currently has capital working capital deficit, has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time and currently does not have the funding available to implement its business plan. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.


Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund operating expenses The Company intends to position itself so that it will be able to raise additional funds through the capital markets. In light of managements efforts, there are no assurances that the Company will be successful in this or any of its endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern.

 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Basis of presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which management believes are necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations stockholders deficit and cash flows of the Company for the year ending October 31, 2015 from April 18, 2014 (Inception) to October 31, 2014.

3.        SUMMARY OF SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTUNUED)


Use of Estimates

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


Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with the original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had $662 of cash as of October 31, 2015, and 1,425 as of October 31, 2014.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs in measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market.


These tiers include:


Level 1: defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2:  defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

Level 3:  defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.


The carrying value of cash and the Companys loan from shareholder approximates its fair value due to their short-term maturity.


Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on the straight line method over the estimated life of the asset, which is 5 years. Our fixed assets are comprised of SK-300 bubble tea shaking machine, bubble tea stand machine MS3828, WCS-F07 automatic cup sealing machine and single door glass display cabinet beverage refrigerator.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method.  Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws.  A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.


Revenue Recognition

The Company will recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification No. 605, Revenue Recognition ("ASC-605"), ASC-605 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company will defer any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.


Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 718.  To date, the Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.


Basic Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes income (loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings per Share which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.  Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.


For the year ended October 31, 2015 and from April 18, 2014 (Inception) to October 31, 2014 there were no potentially dilutive debt or equity instruments issued or outstanding and any such shares would have been excluded from the computation because they would have been anti-dilutive as the Company incurred losses in these periods.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is defined as all changes in stockholders' equity (deficit), exclusive of transactions with owners, such as capital investments. Comprehensive income includes net income or loss, changes in certain assets and liabilities that are reported directly in equity such as translation adjustments on investments in foreign subsidiaries and unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities. From our inception there were no differences between our comprehensive loss and net loss.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-10, Development Stage Entities.  The amendments in this update remove the definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of the ASC thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from U.S. GAAP.  In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. The amendments in this update are applied retrospectively.  The adoption of ASU 2014-10 removed the development stage entity financial reporting requirements for the Company.


We have reviewed all the recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and we do not believe any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company other than those relating to Development Stage Entities as discussed above.

LOAN FROM DIRECTOR


In support of the Companys efforts and cash requirements, it may rely on advances from related parties until such time that the Company can support its operations or attains adequate financing through sales of its equity or traditional debt financing. There is no formal written commitment for continued support by shareholders. Amounts represent advances or amounts paid in satisfaction of liabilities. The advances are considered temporary in nature and have not been formalized by a promissory note.  


During the period from April 18, 2014 (Inception) to October 31, 2015, our sole director has loaned to the Company $10,450.

 INCOME TAXES


As of October 31, 2015, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $27,055 that may be available to reduce future years taxable income in varying amounts through 2031. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carry-forwards.

Controls and Procedures

 

29

 




Disclosure Controls and Procedures


We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of October 31, 2015. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.


Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting


Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a15(f). The Companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.


Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2015 using the criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO").

 

30




A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Companys annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2015, the Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.


1.

We do not have an Audit Committee While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is the managements view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an utmost important entity level control over the Companys financial statement. Currently the Board of Directors acts in the capacity of the Audit Committee, and does not include a member that is considered to be independent of management to provide the necessary oversight over managements activities.


2.

 We did not maintain appropriate financial reporting controls As of October 31, 2015, our company has not maintained sufficient internal controls over financial reporting for the financial reporting process. As at October 31, 2015, our company did not have sufficient financial reporting controls with respect to timely financial reporting and the ability to process complex accounting issues. Subsequent to October 31, 2015, our company has obtained the necessary assistance to ensure that the performance of complex accounting issues can be performed accurately and on a timely basis.


Accordingly, the Company concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the companys internal controls. As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2015 based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by COSO.


System of Internal Control over Financial Reporting


Although our Company is unable to meet the standards under COSO because of the limited funds available to a company of our size and stage of development, we are committed to improving our financial organization. As funds become available, we will undertake to: (1) create a position to  segregate duties consistent with control objectives, (2) increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function (3) appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to the audit committee of our Company resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; and (4) prepare and implement sufficient written policies and checklists which will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.  However, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.  Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation we conducted of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2015, that occurred during our fiscal year that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements  report was not subject to attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this annual report.

The following is a brief description of the business experience of our executive officer:


- graduated high school for animators 2002

- resort and condominium manager of Phoenicia Apartments Unirii, 2002 - 2011

- owner of an internet shopping and advertising company, Promotheus, 2011 2014


Slav Serghei has acted as our President, Secretary, Treasurer and sole Director since our incorporation on April 18, 2014. His experience as a middle range manager and director of a small company provided him with good knowledge of successful business operations, employee training and time management. Plus it gave him excellent experience in marketing and advertising. Our president will be devoting approximately 20 hours/week of his business time to our operations. Once we expand operations, and are able to attract more customers to purchase our product, Slav Serghei has agreed to commit more time as required. Because Slav Serghei will only be devoting limited time to our operations, our operations may be sporadic and occur at times which are convenient to him. As a result, operations may be periodically interrupted or suspended which could result in a lack of revenues and a cessation of operations.


During the past ten years, Mr. Slav has not been the subject to any of the following events:


1.

Any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which Mr. Slav  was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time.


 

2.

Any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding.


3.

An order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, or any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting Mr. Slav s involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities.

Found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Future Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.


5.

Was the subject of any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any Federal or State authority barring, suspending or otherwise limiting for more than 60 days the right to engage in any activity described in paragraph (f)(3)(i) of this section, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity;

Any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or


8.

Was the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(26))), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. 1(a)(29))), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.


AUDIT COMMETEE FINANCIAL EXPERT


We do not have an audit committee financial expert. We do not have an audit committee financial expert because we believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Further, because we just recently started our operations, at the present time, we believe the services of a financial expert are not warranted.

 

34



CONFLICT OF INTEREST


The only conflict that we foresee are that our sole officer and director will devote time to projects that do not involve us.


TERM OF OFFICE


Each of our directors is appointed to hold office until the next annual meeting of our stockholders or until his respective successor is elected and qualified, or until he resigns or is removed in accordance with the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statues.  Our officers are appointed by our Board of Directors and hold office until removed by the Board or until their resignation.

 

SIGNIFICANT EMPLOYEES

 

At this stage of our company development we do not have employees.

Item 12.


Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.


The following table sets forth certain information concerning the number of shares of our common stock owned beneficially as October 31, 2015 by: (i) each person (including any group) known to us to own more than five percent (5%) of any class of our voting securities, (ii) our director, and or (iii) our officer.  Unless otherwise indicated, the stockholder listed possesses sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown.

%

 

(1) A beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares).  In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided.  In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights.  As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the persons actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on October 31, 2015


As of January 31, 2015, there were 5,460,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.


Item 13.


Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.


Our director is a major shareholder and holds 62% of outstanding shares as of October 31, 2015 (October 31, 2014 100%). As of October 31, 2015, a director had loaned $5,450 (October 31, 2014 - $5,000) to the Company to provide working capital for its business operations. The loan is unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand.

 

36




DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

 

Our board of directors is currently composed of one member, Slav Serghei, who does not qualify as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our board of directors has not made a subjective determination as to each director that no relationships exists which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our board of directors made these determinations, our board of directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each directors business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.


Item 14.

Principal Accounting Fees and Services.


During fiscal year ended October 31, 2015, we incurred approximately $9,050 in fees to our principal independent accountants for professional services rendered: $3,250 in connection with the audit of our October 31, 2014 financial statements and $5,800 for the reviews of our financial statements for the quarters ended January 31, 2015, April 30, 2015, and July 31, 2015.

During the year ended October 31, 2015, the Company has changed its auditors from Harris & Gillespie CPAs PPLC to Gillespie & Associates, PLLC due to the dissolution of the former on January 15, 2015.


During the Companys two most recent fiscal years, the subsequent interim periods thereto, and through January 15, 2015, there were no disagreements (as defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K) with the Harris & Gillespie Entity on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the Harris & Gillespie Entity, would have caused it to make reference in connection with its opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement. Further, during the Companys two most recent fiscal years, the subsequent interim periods thereto, and through January 15, 2015, there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
