These forward-looking statements were based on various factors and were derived from utilizing numerous assumptions and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to:


·

our recent exit from shell status, lack of profitable operations and risk we will ever generate revenues or profits,

·

need for additional capital, including our ability to repay $377,500 in notes to non-related parties, all of which are presently past due,

·

our ability to continue as a going concern,

·

our inability to manage our growth,

·

potential infringement of third party intellectual property rights,

our ability to effectively compete,

the dilutive impact of outstanding convertible notes and warrants.


You should read thoroughly this report and the documents that we refer to herein with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from and/or worse than what we expect.

Other sections of this report include additional factors which could adversely impact our business and financial performance. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information under the Federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events.

 PART I



Item 1.   BUSINESS  OVERVIEW.


We are a multi-faceted company, and we have developed a variety of products and services for members of the financial market community. Our different enterprises include quotation platforms, and a variety of issuer services for small cap public companies. We are also continuing to develop a unique financial social media network platform which we believe will transform how businesses and people work and collaborate in the cloud era.  


Our goal is to provide a place for our members to capitalize on the sharing of knowledge, expertise and interest among one another. Providing full access equally to all our member, we hope to level the playing field by offering a fair and open exchange of information to everyone. We believe this will translate into an ever-expanding database from all over the financial community. In summary, Bulls N Bears will not be just another financial website; rather we will serve as value added business bureau for all level of interested parties, from novices to experts.


Proposed Acquisition of Michael James Enterprises, Inc. [Nevada]


On December 15, 2015, the companys Board of Directors approved an Agreement for Plan of Merger and Reorganization between the Company and Michael James Enterprises, Inc., a Nevada corporation.  Effective December 11, 2015, the Company filed an Amendment to the Companys Articles of Incorporation changing the Companys name to Michael James Enterprises Inc. and filed with FINRA for a new stock ticker symbol MJTV.  The merger will be completed as soon as all regulatory filings have been submitted and are declared effective.  


Pursuant to the Agreement, shareholders of Michael James Enterprises, Inc. (Nevada) will exchange their shares of Common and Preferred stock on a one-for-one basis for shares of Common and Preferred Stock of the Company.  As of December 31, 2015, Michael James Enterprises, Inc. (Nevada) had 6,648,000 shares of Common Stock and 300,000 shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.


Michael James Enterprises, Inc. (Nevada), is a New Jersey based company (MJE), which has developed the most promising approach to treating acne since the introduction of Benzoyl Peroxide decades ago. A very high and unacceptable level of people are unable to use acne treatment products formulated with benzoyl peroxide due to its harmful effects to the skin while many other individuals look past these damaging effects in order to treat their acne. MJTVs merger partner utilizes patented science from a world-renowned Ivy League institution to eliminate the need for Benzoyl Peroxide.  MJE makes the claim that its offering not only treats acne as well as, if not better than any other acne treatment system without the harmful side effects, but actually will improve an acne users skin complexion.

The proposed merger with Michael James Enterprises, Inc. (Nevada) is still pending.


Spin-off of Our Subsidiary BullsnBears Holdings, Inc.


As part of the planned Merger transaction, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, BullsnBears, Inc., which holds the Companys Intellectual Property assets including its websites, URLs, and proprietary software, will be spun-off through a share dividend to MJTV shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 28, 2015, with one share of BullsnBears Holdings, Inc.  Common Stock distributed for each one share of MJTV Common Stock owned as of the record date.  Distribution of the shares will take place following the pending merger with Michael James Enterprises, Inc. (Nevada) and upon the effectiveness of a Registration Statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission which has not yet been filed.


Capital Needs


Until the completion of our merger with Michael James Enterprises, Inc. (Nevada) and the spin-off of our BullsnBears Holdings, Inc. subsidiary, our disclosures throughout this Report are based upon our current business operations and model.


Our ability to implement this business model, develop and launch a comprehensive website and market our products and services is dependent upon our ability to raise sufficient capital. As described later in this report, we have determined we need to raise approximately $3,500,000 for general operating capital, including funds necessary to hire and compensate



5

 

executive and other employees, as well as for IT development, including staffing, support and equipment, advertising and marketing, expansion of business operations, and general working capital. Although we have received approximately $977,200 in net proceeds from the sale of our one-year 10% convertible promissory notes during 2013 and $210,000 in 2014, and an additional $5,000 principal amount of Series A 5% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, at a price of $1.25 per Share.  These Shares bear annual cumulative dividends of 5%, payable at the option of the Company in cash or Shares of Common Stock.  At the option of the holder, beginning one year from the date of issuance the Shares are convertible into Shares of Common Stock at a price of $1.25 per Share.  we do not have any firm commitments to provide the balance of this capital and there are no assurances we will be successful in raising the necessary capital. In that event, our ability to fully implement our business model and begin generating revenues from our operations would be in jeopardy.


Competition


Most of our competitors are well-established networks and have substantially greater financial resources than we have. However these large companies, such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Pinterest, serve as providers of information on all subject matters. We will seek to compete in our market by focusing on the financial community niche market. There are no assurances, however, we will ever effectively compete in our target market.


Government regulation


While there are currently relatively few laws or regulations directly applicable to Internet access, commerce, or commercial search activity, there is increasing awareness and concern regarding some uses of the Internet and other online services, leading federal, state, local, and international governments to consider adopting civil and criminal laws and regulations, amending existing laws and regulations, conducting investigations, or commencing litigation with respect to the Internet and other online services covering issues such as:


·

user privacy;

·

trespass;

·

defamation;

·

database and data protection;

·

limitations on the distribution of materials considered harmful to children;

·

liability for misinformation provided over the web;

·

user protection, pricing, taxation, and advertising restrictions (including, for example, limitation on the advertising on Internet gambling websites or of certain products);

·

delivery of contextual advertisements via connected desktop software;

·

intellectual property ownership and infringement, including liability for listing or linking to third-party websites that include materials infringing copyrights or other rights;

·

distribution, characteristics, and quality of products and services; and


other consumer protection laws.


Legislation has also been introduced in the U.S. Congress and some state legislatures that is designed to regulate spyware, which does not have a precise definition, but which is often defined as software installed on consumers' computers without their informed consent and designed to gather and, in some cases, disseminate information about those consumers, including personally identifiable information. We do not expect to rely on spyware for any purpose, and it will not be part of our product offerings, but the definition of spyware or proposed legislation relating to spyware may be broadly defined or interpreted to include legitimate ad-serving software, including toolbar offerings and other downloadable software currently provided by our product offerings. Currently, legislation has focused on providing Internet users with notification of and the ability to consent or decline the installation of such software, but there can be no guarantee that future legislation will not



6

 

provide more burdensome standards by which software can be downloaded onto consumers' computers. We expect that all downloadable software that we will distribute will require an express consent of the consumer and will provide consumers with an easy mechanism to delete the software once downloaded. However, if future legislation is adopted that makes the consent, notice, or uninstall procedures more onerous, we may have to develop new technology or methods to provide our services or discontinue those services in some jurisdictions or altogether. There is no guarantee we will be able to develop this new technology at all or in a timely fashion or on commercially reasonable terms. The adoption of any additional laws or regulations, application of existing laws to the Internet generally or our industry, or any governmental investigation or litigation related to the Internet generally, our industry, or our services may decrease the growth of the Internet or other online services, which could, in turn:


Intellectual property


We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual property rights. Our success will depend on the protection of the proprietary aspects of our technology as well as our ability to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of others. We expect to also enter into proprietary information and confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and commercial partners and control access to, and distribution of, our software documentation and other proprietary information.


Our BullsnBears Holdings, Inc. subsidiary owns 21 Internet domain names, including our principal operating websites BullsnBears.com and BNB Services.net.   However, as with phone numbers, we do not have and cannot acquire any property rights in an Internet address. The regulation of domain names in the United States and in other countries is also subject to change. Regulatory bodies could establish additional top-level domains, appoint additional domain name registrars or modify the requirements for holding domain names. As a result, we might not be able to maintain our domain names or obtain comparable domain names, which could harm our business.



Employees


As of December 31, 2015 we have no full time employees, and Company operations are being conducted by our President.


Our history


We were organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on December 30, 2010 under the name Spicy Gourmet International, Inc. as part of the implementation of the Chapter 11 plan of reorganization of Spicy Gourmet Organics, Inc. ("SGO"), a California corporation. SGO was incorporated in the State of California in 2006 and was formed to import specialty, organic spices from South Asia and sell them in the United States. SGO was undercapitalized and sales of its spice products were slow to develop, possibly due to the current recession. As a result SGO lacked sufficient cash flow to meet its current obligations and on October 1, 2010 SGO filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California. SGO's plan of reorganization was confirmed by the Court on November 19, 2010.


The plan of reorganization provided for the acquisition by SGO of a new, unrelated, retail business and the spin-off of all of the various elements of SGO's spice business to four different entities. The plan of reorganization called for the spin-off of SGO's manufacturing business to our company, the incorporation of our company, and the distribution of shares of our common stock to the bankruptcy creditors. The plan required us to issue 1,180,000 shares of our common stock and distribute these to SGO's general unsecured creditors, to its administrative creditors, and to its shareholder. The shares were distributed pursuant to Section 1145 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.


The Court also ordered the distribution of warrants to all administrative creditors of SGO, with these creditors to receive five warrants exercisable into shares of our common stock for each $0.05 of SGO's administrative debt which they held. These creditors received an aggregate of 5,000,000 warrants consisting of:


·

1,000,000 "A Warrants" each convertible into one share of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00;

·

1,000,000 "B Warrants" each convertible into one share of common stock at an exercise price of $4.00;

·



7

 

1,000,000 "C Warrants" each convertible into one share of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00;

·

1,000,000 "D Warrants" each convertible into one share of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00; and

·

1,000,000 "E Warrants" each convertible into one share of common stock at an exercise price of $7.00.


All warrants are exercisable at any time prior to November 19, 2017 as a result of a two-year extension. This warrants distribution also took place on December 30, 2010. During October 2012, we agreed to reduce the exercise price of the outstanding warrants to $0.25 per share.


We were a shell company as that term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933 from our date of incorporation until October 2012.


On October 20, 2012, we acquired from James M. Palladino, then an unrelated third party, the URL domain name and websites of bullsnbears.com for $150,000. Following this asset purchase we were no longer considered a shell company. On October 23, 2012, our former officers and directors resigned and certain of our current officers and directors were appointed, with the balance of our directors being appointed in December 2012.


In November 2012 we changed our name to BullsnBears.com, Inc. Effective December 11, 2015, we changed our name to Michael James Enterprises, Inc., and entered into an Agreement for Plan of Merger and Reorganization between the Company and Michael James Enterprises, Inc., a Nevada corporation.  As of April 11, 2016, this proposed Merger has not been completed pending regulatory filings.


In conjunction with the Merger transaction, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, BullsnBears Holdings, Inc., will be spun-off through a share dividend to BNBI shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 28, 2015, with one share of BullsnBears Holdings Common Stock distributed for each one share of MJTV Common Stock owned as of the record date. Distribution of the shares will take place upon the effectiveness of a Registration Statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.



 

 

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS.


Before you invest in our securities, you should be aware that there are various risks. You should consider carefully these risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this annual report before you decide to purchase our securities. If any of the following risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.


Risks Related to Our Business


We have only recently exited shell status, have not operated profitably since inception, and there are no assurances we will ever generate revenues or profits .


Our operations have never been profitable, and it is expected that we will continue to incur operating losses in the future. In 2012, we exited shell status thorough the purchase of the URL domain names and websites, however, those assets have generated minimal revenues to date. We reported revenues of $1,517 in 2013, and our net loss was ($1,104,250). We reported revenues of $106,859 in 2014, and our net loss was ($648,016).   Our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $22,610, and our net loss was ($425,345).  At December 31, 2015 we had a working capital deficit of ($1,194,014). There is no assurance that we will be able to fully implement our business model, generate any meaningful revenues or operate profitably in the future. Our failure to generate substantial revenues and achieve profitable operations in future periods will adversely affect our ability to continue as a going concern. If we should be unable to continue as a going concern, you could lose all of your investment in our company.


We will need additional financing which we may not be able to obtain on acceptable terms. If we cannot raise additional capital as needed, our ability to execute our business plan and grow our company will be in jeopardy.




8

 

Capital is needed not only to fund our ongoing operations and to pay our existing obligations, but capital is also necessary for the effective implementation of our business plan. As described elsewhere herein, we will need to raise approximately $3,500,000 of additional capital. Our working capital is not sufficient to fund our operations. We do not have any firm commitments to provide capital and we anticipate that we will have certain difficulties raising capital given the current uncertainties in the capital markets. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that additional working capital will be available to us upon terms acceptable to us. If we do not raise funds as needed, our ability to continue to implement our business model is in jeopardy and we may never be able to achieve profitable operations. In that event, our ability to continue as a going concern is in jeopardy and you could lose all of your investment in our company.


Our auditors have raised substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.


The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements at December 31, 2015 and for the year then ended raises substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern based our operating losses and working capital deficit . Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. As described above, our current working capital is not sufficient to sustain our current operations and we need to raise additional working capital in order to continue to implement our business model. If such funds are not available to us as needed, we may be forced to curtail our growth plans and our ability to grow our company will be in jeopardy. In such event, we may not be able to continue as a going concern.


We have $377,500 principal amount outstanding convertible notes and bridge notes payable to non-related parties, a substantial portion of which are presently past due.


Between January 2013 and December 2014 we issued and sold 10% convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $1,187,200 in private offerings, of which $360,000 remains due and payable. These notes mature one year from the date of issuance, and on the maturity date were convertible into Shares of Common Stock of the Company at a price of $1.00 per Share.  


During the year ended December 31, 2015, we sold an additional $17,500 principal amount of short-term bridge notes.  The notes bear interest at 15% per annum, are unsecured, and are due six months from the date of issuance. At maturity the notes become convertible at $0.20 subject to certain reset provisions. In addition the notes become convertible upon an equity financing transaction of at least $500,000. At Maturity the note holders will also receive two shares of restricted common stock for every dollar loaned to the company.

In February, 2015, we converted $90,620 of these notes and accrued interest into 90,620 shares of Common Stock.  The balance of the notes matured between January 2015 and March 2015 and are now presently due.    In the event one or more of the holders should elect to convert the notes, the issuance of shares of our common stock in satisfaction of the notes will be dilutive to our current stockholders. If the notes are not converted, we will be required to satisfy the notes in cash. We do not have sufficient cash to satisfy the presently due notes, nor the balance of these notes when they become due and there are no assurances we will be able to raise the funds if necessary.

In June 2015 the company converted an aggregate of $234,000 of note holder debt, $215,000 of principle and accrued interest of $19,000 into 234,000 shares.   For the same period the company realized a gain on interest of $12,160.


We have a limited history of operations upon which an investor could evaluate our company. There are no assurances our business model will prove successful.


We have a limited operating history. Our business is in a new and unproven market, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not be successful. This lack of a significant operating history makes it difficult to effectively assess our future prospects. You should consider our business and prospects in light of the risks and difficulties we encounter in this rapidly evolving market. These risks and difficulties include our ability to, among other things:


·

avoid interruptions or disruptions in our service or slower than expected website load times;

·



9

 

develop a scalable, high-performance technology infrastructure that can efficiently and reliably handle increased member usage globally, as well as the deployment of new features and products;

·

responsibly use the data that our members share with us to provide solutions that make our members more successful and productive and that are critical to the hiring and marketing needs of enterprises and professional organizations;

·

generate any significant revenues from the solutions we provide;

·

earn and preserve our customers trust with respect to their professional reputation and information;

·

process, store and use personal data in compliance with governmental regulation and other legal obligations related to privacy;

·

successfully compete with other companies that are currently in, or may in the future enter, the online professional network space;

·

hire, integrate and retain qualified management and employees; and

·

successfully expand our business.


If we fail to address the needs of our target market, our ability to fully implement our business model will be in jeopardy. There are no assurances will be successful in the further implementation of our business model. You should consider our business and prospects in light of the risks and difficulties we encounter as we seek to further expand our operations.


We cannot assure you that we will be able to manage the growth of our organization effectively.


We currently expect to experience rapid growth in demand for our products if we are able to penetrate new markets. Any future successful growth and/or expansion of our business and product offerings will place significant demands on our management and our operational and financial resources. We will be required to manage multiple relations with various merchants, subscribers, technology licensors and other third parties. In the event of further growth of our operations or in the number of our third-party relationships, our information technology systems or our internal controls and procedures may not be adequate to support our operations. To effectively manage our proposed growth, we must continue to implement operational plans and strategies, improve and expand our infrastructure of people and information systems, and train and manage our employee base. There are no assurances our efforts will be effective.


We may face third party intellectual property infringement claims that could be costly to defend and result in the loss of significant rights.


Our current and future business activities may infringe upon the proprietary rights of others, and third parties may assert infringement claims against us, including claims alleging, among other things, copyright, trademark, or patent infringement. We are aware of allegations from time to time concerning these types of claims and in particular in respect of copyright and trademark infringement claims. While we believe that we have defenses to these types of claims under appropriate trademark laws, we may not prevail in our defenses to any intellectual property infringement claims. In addition, we may not be adequately insured for any judgments awarded in connection with any litigation. Any such claims and resulting litigation could subject us from time to time to significant liability for damages, or result in the invalidation of our proprietary rights, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Even if we were to prevail, these claims could be time-consuming, expensive to defend, and could result in the diversion of management's time and attention.   





There are no assurances we will ever effectively compete in our target market.


Competitors may develop or offer products and services that provide significant performance, price or other advantages over the services offered by us. Most of our competitors are larger and better capitalized than we are. We may not have the



10

 

financial resources, marketing, nor support capabilities to compete successfully. If we fail to gain market share, our financial condition, operating results and business could be adversely affected and the value of the investment in the Company could be reduced significantly.



We may not timely and effectively scale and adapt our existing technology and network infrastructure to ensure that our website is accessible within an acceptable load time.


A key element to our growth strategy is the ability of our members, users (whom we define as anyone who visits our website, regardless of whether or not they are a member), enterprises and financial organizations in all geographies to access our website within acceptable load times. We call this website performance due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, human or software errors, capacity constraints due to an overwhelming number of users accessing our website simultaneously, and denial of service or fraud or security attacks. In some instances, we may not be able to identify the cause or causes of these website performance problems within an acceptable period of time. It may become increasingly difficult to maintain and improve our website performance, especially during peak usage times and as our solutions become more complex and our user traffic increases. If our website is unavailable when users attempt to access it or does not load as quickly as they expect, users may seek other websites to obtain the information for which they are looking, and may not return to our website as often in the future, or at all. This would negatively impact our ability to attract members, enterprises and professional organizations and increase engagement on our website. Subject to the availability of sufficient capital, we expect to make significant investments to maintain and improve website performance and to enable rapid releases of new features and products. To the extent that we do not effectively address capacity constraints, upgrade our systems as needed and continually develop our technology and network architecture to accommodate actual and anticipated changes in technology, our business and operating results may be harmed.


Risks Related to Our Common Stock


Subpoena from Office of Financial Regulation State of Florida (OFR).


On September 1, 2015, the Company received notice of an Administrative Complaint filed by the State of Florida Office of Financial Regulation (OFR) concerning certain private placement investments received by the Company during the period from 2011 to 2013 and the applicability of the registration exemption provisions of the Florida Statutes to said investments.  The Company vigorously disputes the legal basis for this Administrative Complaint and is presently conducting mitigating discussions with the OFR, and the Company has requested a Formal Administrative Hearing.



Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Markets, but trading in the securities is extremely limited .


Currently, our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Pink Sheets tier of the OTC Markets. The market for our common stock is extremely limited and there are no assurances an active market for our common stock will ever develop. The OTC Markets is an inter-dealer, over-the-counter market that provides generally significantly less liquidity than a national or regional securities exchange. Securities quoted on the OTC Markets typically have fewer market makers and are not followed by analysts. The quotation of our shares on the OTC Markets 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. Until an active market for our common stock develops, if ever, an investment in our common stock should be considered illiquid.


Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may delay or prevent a take-over which may not be in the best interests of our stockholders.


Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may be deemed to have anti-takeover effects, which include when and by whom special meetings of our stockholders may be called, and may delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt. In addition, certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law also may be deemed to have certain anti-takeover effects which include that control of shares acquired in excess of certain specified thresholds will not possess any voting rights unless these voting rights are approved by a majority of a corporation's disinterested stockholders. Further, our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors in their sole discretion. Our board of directors



11

 

may, without stockholder approval, issue series of preferred stock with dividends, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock.   



The tradability of our common stock is limited under the penny stock regulations which may cause the holders of our common stock difficulty should they wish to sell the shares.


Because the quoted price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share, our common stock is considered a penny stock, and trading in our common stock is subject to the requirements of Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under this rule, broker/dealers who recommend low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements. The broker/dealer must make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchasers written consent prior to the transaction. SEC regulations also require additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a penny stock, including the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and its associated risks. These requirements severely limit the liquidity of securities in the secondary market because few broker or dealers are likely to undertake these compliance activities and this limited liquidity will make it more difficult for an investor to sell his shares of our common stock in the secondary market should the investor wish to liquidate the investment. In addition to the applicability of the penny stock rules, other risks associated with trading in penny stocks could also be price fluctuations and the lack of a liquid market.


The majority of our outstanding common shares are restricted securities and we have outstanding warrants and convertible notes to purchase approximately 42% of our currently outstanding common stock.


At December 31, 2015 we had 12,958,270 shares of common stock outstanding together with outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share, and convertible promissory notes to purchase an additional 447,500 shares of our common stock at a conversion price ranging from $0.20 to $1.00 per share. The majority of our outstanding shares of common stock are "restricted securities" and the ability to freely resell those shares is limited by Federal securities laws. Future sales of restricted common stock under Rule 144 or otherwise could negatively impact the market price of our common stock. In addition, in the event of the exercise of the warrants and/or conversion of the convertible notes, the number of our outstanding common stock will increase by almost 42%, which will have a dilutive effect on our existing stockholders.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.  


On September 1, 2015, the Company received notice of an Administrative Complaint filed by the State of Florida Office of Financial Regulation (OFR) concerning certain private placement investments received by the Company during the period from 2011 to 2013 and the applicability of the registration exemption provisions of the Florida Statutes to said investments.  The Company vigorously disputes the legal basis for this Administrative Complaint and is presently conducting mitigating discussions with the OFR, and has requested a formal Administrative Hearing.

Dividends


We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. Under Delaware law, we may declare and pay dividends on our capital stock either out of our surplus, as defined in the relevant Delaware statutes, or if there is no such surplus, out of our net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. If, however, the capital of our company, computed in accordance with the relevant Delaware statutes, has been diminished by depreciation in the value of our property, or by losses, or otherwise, to an amount less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets, we are prohibited from declaring and paying out of such net profits and dividends upon any shares of our capital stock until the deficiency in the amount of capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets shall have been repaired.


Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities


Between September 2013 and December 2013, we issued and sold to 15 accredited investors a total of $139,200 principal amount one year 10% convertible promissory notes in a private offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on an exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) and Regulation D of that act. We received gross proceeds of $139,200. We did not pay any commissions or finders fees and are using the net proceeds for working capital. The notes bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum, accrued and paid on the six-month anniversary of the date of issuance, and at the maturity date. At the maturity date, the holder of a note has the right to convert the unpaid principal and accrued interest due under the note into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share.


Between January 2014 and December 2014, we issued and sold to four accredited investors a total of $210,000 principal amount one year 10% convertible promissory notes in a private offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on an exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) and Regulation D of that act. We received gross proceeds of $210,000. We did not pay any commissions or finders fees and are using the net proceeds for working capital. The notes



13

 

bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum, accrued and paid on the six-month anniversary of the date of issuance, and at the maturity date. At the maturity date, the holder of a note has the right to convert the unpaid principal and accrued interest due under the note into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share.

 

In February, 2015, we converted $90,620 of these notes and accrued interest into 90,620 shares of Common Stock.  The balance of the notes matured between January 2015 and March 2015 and are now presently due.   In the event one or more of the holders should elect to convert the notes, the issuance of shares of our common stock in satisfaction of the notes will be dilutive to our current stockholders. If the notes are not converted, we will be required to satisfy the notes in cash. We do not have sufficient cash to satisfy the presently due notes, nor the balance of these notes when they become due and there are no assurances we will be able to raise the funds if necessary.


During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company received proceeds of $10,000 from the issuance of two convertible promissory notes, and in April, 2015 received $7,500 from the issuance of one convertible promissory note.  The notes bear interest at 15% per annum, are unsecured, and are due six months from the date of issuance. At maturity, the holders of the notes will receive any unpaid principal and accrued interest.   In total the note holders will also receive 105,000 shares of restricted common stock, which was valued at $88,200 and recorded as an expense.


In June, 2015, we converted $215,000 of the principal amount of these notes and $19,000 of accrued interest into 234,000 shares of Common Stock.  


In April, 2015, an affiliate of the Company assigned a Note in the principal amount of $22,500 to an unrelated party. The Note was converted by the holder in June, 2015 into 250,000 Shares of Common Stock at market price, and resulted in a reduction of $22,500 from Accounts Payable- Related Party.  


The notes were sold directly by the Company to accredited investors in private offerings exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on an exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) and Regulation D of that act.  We did not pay any commissions or finders fee and used the net proceeds for working capital.


In November, 2015 the Company issued 50,000 Shares of Common Stock to a non-affiliate as payment for a consulting agreement.


In November, 2015, the Company issued a total of 105,000 Shares of Common Stock to three non-affiliates as partial interests payments for short-term loans advanced to the Company.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.


The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for 2014 and 2013 should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this report. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the Item 1A. Risk Factors, Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Business sections in this Form 10-K. We use words such as anticipate, estimate, plan, project, continuing, ongoing, expect, believe, intend, may, will, should, could, and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.




OVERVIEW




14

 

Prior to our acquisition in October 2012 of the URL domain names and websites of bullsnbears.com, we were a shell company as that term is defined in Federal securities laws. We are now in the process of developing a financial networking portal to fill the gap we believe that currently exists between the financial community and investors. We expect that the financial social media network will provide information and business gathering place for investors, public and private companies, brokers, Securities and Exchange Commission attorneys and accounting firms, all in one location. We expect to generate revenue predominantly through advertising, subscription and e-commerce revenues.


Following the closing of the acquisition of these assets, during the balance of the fourth quarter we commenced the design and development of our system. In order to provide the funds necessary to fully implement our business model and properly capitalize our company through the first stages of our business development plan and satisfy our obligations as they become due, we will need to raise approximately $3,500,000. We expect to use those funds to provide funds for general operating capital, including funds necessary to hire and compensate executive and other employees, as well as for IT development, including staffing, support and equipment, advertising and marketing, expansion of business operations, and general working capital.

Although we have received approximately $977,200 in net proceeds from the sale of our one-year unsecured 10% convertible promissory notes in 2013 and $210,000 in 2014, we do not have any firm commitments to provide the balance of this capital and there are no assurances we will be successful in raising the necessary capital. Holders of $639,270 principal amount of these notes have delivered conversion notices to us. Approximately $664,200 principal amount of these notes matured between January 2014 and March 31, 2014 and have been issued their common shares and the balance of these notes mature between April 2014 and December 2014.


Between January 2013 and December 2013 we issued and sold 10% convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $977,200 in a private offering. These notes mature one year from the date of issuance, and on the maturity date were convertible into Shares of Common Stock of the Company at a price of $1.00 per Share. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we sold an additional $210,000 principal amount of one-year notes, bearing an interest rate of 10% per annum and convertible at any time following issuance into Shares of Common Stock of the Company at a price of $1.00 per Share. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we sold an additional $5,000 principal amount of Series A 5% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, at a price of $1.25 per Share.  These Shares bear annual cumulative dividends of 5%, payable at the option of the Company in cash or Shares of Common Stock.  At the option of the holder, beginning one year from the date of issuance the Shares are convertible into Shares of Common Stock at a price of $1.25 per Share.  


In February, 2015, we converted $90,620 of these notes and accrued interest into 90,620 shares of Common Stock.  The balance of the notes matured between January 2015 and March 2015 and are now presently due.   In the event one or more of the holders should elect to convert the notes, the issuance of shares of our common stock in satisfaction of the notes will be dilutive to our current stockholders. If the notes are not converted, we will be required to satisfy the notes in cash. We do not have sufficient cash to satisfy the presently due notes, nor the balance of these notes when they become due and there are no assurances we will be able to raise the funds if necessary.


On September 30, 2015, the Company formed a new wholly-owned corporation, BullsnBears Holdings, Inc., for the purpose of holding the Companys intellectual property assets.


As of December 31, 2015 we owe Mr. Palladino, our former Chief Executive Officer, approximately $680,574 for funds he has advanced us for working capital. We do not have sufficient funds to repay these obligations, which will likely make our ability to raise additional capital more difficult. If we are unable to raise the necessary capital in that event, our ability to fully implement our business model and begin generating revenues from our operations would be in jeopardy.   


GOING CONCERN


We have incurred net losses of ($2,536,225) since inception through December 31, 2015. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern based upon our loss from operations and working capital deficit. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. There are no assurances we will be successful in our efforts to generate revenues or report profitable operations or to continue as a going concern, in which event investors would lose their entire investment in our company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - DECEMBER 31, 2015 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 2014


We generated $22,610 in revenues during 2015, compared to $106,859 in 2014. While we reasonably expect to report an increase in our revenues in 2016 as a result of the continued implementation of our business plan, our company is still in its early stages of operations. Given the significant amount of competition we face and our limited access to working capital which hinders our ability to market our products and services, there are no assurances we will be able to report any material increase in revenues during 2016.


During 2015, our operating expenses decreased by approximately 32% from 2014 due to decreased business operations.  


During 2015, our interest expense decreased significantly to $66,174 as compared to $184,994 in 2014, due to the conversion of $324,620 of Notes into Shares of Common Stock.  



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash to satisfy its needs for cash. At December 31, 2015 we had a cash balance of $300 and a working capital deficit of ($1,194,014) as compared to cash on hand of $0 and a working capital deficit of $1,322,860 at December 31, 2014. Our total assets decreased by approximately 95% at December 31, 2015 as compared to December 31, 2014, mainly due to a $53,750, decrease in intangible assets due to a write-off of the value of our websites.  We have been dependent upon funds borrowed from both third parties as well as related parties to provide capital for our operations. Our current liabilities decreased to $1,194,314 for December 31, 2015 as compared to $1,323,453 at December 31, 2014


We do not have any external sources of working capital and have been materially dependent upon the sale of convertible promissory notes to third parties as well as advances and loans from Mr. Palladino, our former Chief Executive Officer and current Chairman of the Board. Our working capital is not sufficient to fund our operations for the next 12 months and satisfy our obligations as they become due. As described earlier in this report, we need to raise significant capital to provide funds to implement our business model and pay our operating expenses. If we are not successful in raising the necessary capital, we will be unable to continue to expand our business and operations and satisfy our obligations as they become due. In that event, our ability to continue as a going concern will be in jeopardy and investors in our company could lose their entire investment.


Cash Flows from Operating Activities


During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company used ($55,029) of cash flow from operating activities compared with use of ($275,966) during the year ended December 31, 2014. The decrease in the use of cash flow from operating activities is mainly due to the decrease in overall operating expenses from 2014 due to decreased business operations.


Cash Flows from Investing Activity


During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Companys capital purchases were $0, compared to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2014.


Cash Flows from Financing Activities


During the years ended December 31, 2015, and 2014, the Company received $17,500 and $210,000, respectively, in proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes payable.  Additionally, the Company received cash advances and expenses paid on its behalf by a related party totaling $45,127 and $63,062, respectively.





Critical Accounting Policies




16

 

Certain accounting policies which are critical to our financial statement presentation are described under Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements appearing later in this report.

 


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


The recent accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.


Off Balance Sheet Arrangements


As of the date of this report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term "off-balance sheet arrangement" generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.


SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


On February 3, 2016, James Palladino resigned as a Director and Officer of the Company, and as a Director and Officer of BullsnBears Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.


On February 4, 2016, the Company entered into a $121,000 10% Convertible Promissory Note with Tangiers Investment Group, LLC, a non-affiliate.  The term is for one year, with an original issuance of $11,000 for due diligence and legal costs.  The Note is convertible at the option of the Holder into Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price which shall be equal to 55% of the lowest trading price of the Companys Common Stock during the 20 trading days prior to the election to convert.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Michael James Enterprises, Inc. (formerly: BullsnBears.com, Inc.)

Short Hills, NJ



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Michael James Enterprises, Inc. (formerly: BullsnBears.com, Inc.) and its subsidiary (collectively the Company) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years then ended. 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 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 an 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 audits 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Michael James Enterprises, Inc. and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Michael James Enterprises, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 8 to the financial statements, the Company suffered losses from operations and has working capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note 8. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

MICHAEL JAMES ENTERPRISES, INC.

(Formerly BullsnBears.com, Inc.)

                    Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements


1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies


The financial statements presented are those of BullsnBears.com, Inc. (the Company) (Formerly Spicy Gourmet Manufacturing, Inc.), a Delaware corporation. The Company was incorporated on December 30, 2010, under the laws of the State of Delaware. During November 2012, The Company changed its name from Spicy Gourmet Manufacturing, Inc. to BullsnBears.com, Inc.

The Company owns the Universal Resource Locators (URL) domain name and websites of bullsnbears.com and bullnbearsinfo.com and is in the process of developing a Financial Networking portal to fill the gap that currently exists between the financial community and investors. The financial social media network will provide information and business gathering place for investors, public and private companies, brokers, Securities and Exchange Commission attorneys and accounting firms all in one location.


Accounting Methods

The Companys financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a calendar year-end.


Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying financial statements reflect the consolidation of the individual financial statements of Macheal James Enterprises, Inc. and BullsnBears Holdings, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including convertible debt, stock options, and warrants, using the treasury stock method, and convertible securities, using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company had net losses as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, so the diluted EPS excluded all dilutive potential shares in the diluted EPS because their effect is anti-dilutive.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition



25

 

The Company recognizes revenues and the related costs when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery and acceptance has occurred or service has been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Amounts invoiced or collected in advance of product delivery or providing services are recorded as deferred revenue. The Company accrues for warranty costs, sales returns, bad debts, and other allowances based on its historical experience. The Company has recognized minimal revenue since inception.





26

 

Income Taxes


The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and the state of Florida. The Companys policy is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.


Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. 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. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.


Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of December 31, 2015 and 2014:

The Company had net operating losses of approximately ($2,160,000) that expire in years through 2035. Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carryforwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation using the fair value method. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are accounted for in accordance with ASC 718 Stock Compensation and are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. All transactions with non-employees in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for in accordance with ASC 515 Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

New Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Long Lived Assets


Periodically the Company assesses potential impairment of its long-lived assets, which include property, equipment and acquired intangible assets, in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. The Company recognizes impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets carrying values. An impairment loss would be recognized in the amount by which the recorded value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, measured by the quoted market price of an asset or an estimate based on the best information available in the circumstances. There were no such losses recognized during 2014 or 2013.


Property, Equipment and Intangible Assets

Property and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Additions are capitalized and maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Intangible assets consist of acquired web site domains and web site content and are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization.

Depreciation and amortization is provided principally on the straight-line basis method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.






NOTE 2 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT




27

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and includes expenditures that substantially increase the useful lives of existing assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to current operations as incurred. Upon sale, retirement, or other disposition of these assets, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss on the disposition is included in other income. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over lives from three to five years.


Property and equipment and accumulated depreciation are as follows:

NOTE 3 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS

During October 2012, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement and a Promissory Note (see Note 4) in the amount of $150,000 for the URL domain names and websites of the Company with a current officer and director of the Company, prior to joining the Company. The assets were capitalized and are being amortized over their estimated useful of 5 years. The website was placed into service during October 2012. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $30,000 and $30,000, respectively.  As of December 31, 2015, the Company impaired the remaining value of $53,750.  


NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Notes and Convertible Notes Payable

On October 31, 2012, the Company and an officer and director of the Company entered into a one year, 10% Senior Convertible Note for office equipment totaling $20,955 and supplies totaling $761, or a total of $21,716. The principal amount of the Senior Convertible Note can be convertible, at the sole option of the holder and in whole or in part, into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price to be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company at or prior to the maturity date. No conversion rate has been established by the Board of Directors.  The Senior Convertible Note and the payment of the principal thereof and interest thereon shall at all times and in all respects constitute the Senior Indebtedness of the Company and shall not be junior or subordinate in right of payment to any other indebtedness of the Company. Accrued interest on the Senior Convertible Note totaled $6,010 and $4,707 at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company borrowed a total of $63,062 in unsecured short-term loans from an officer and director of the Company and repaid $2,925.  During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company borrowed a total of $45,127 in unsecured short-term loans from an officer and director of the Company and repaid $11,596.  At December 31, 2015, $214,458 of the short-term loans was outstanding and are accruing interest at 6% per annum.  

In April, 2015, an affiliate of the Company assigned an Account Payable balance in the principal amount of $22,500 to an unrelated party. The Note is due in June, 2015, and is convertible at the option of the holder into shares of Common Stock at market price. The note was converted in June of 2015 into 250,000 shares of common stock.

Consulting Expense

At December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company owes an officer $444,400 and $375,799, respectively, for consulting expense which is included in accounts payable, related party. Consulting expenses year ended December 31, 2015 were $56,600.

Formation of New Subsidiary


On December 31, 2015, the Company formed a new wholly-owned corporation, BullsnBears Holdings, Inc., for the purpose of holding the Companys intellectual property assets.


Revenue




28

 

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Companys revenue included $10,000 from a company controlled by James Farinella, the current President of the Company.  The transaction took place prior to Mr. Farinellas appointment as an Officer and Director.


NOTE 5 - CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES PAYABLE

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued Convertible Promissory Notes (the Notes) for cash totaling $977,200. The Notes bear interest at 10% per annum, are unsecured and due in one year from the date of issuance. At the maturity date, the holders of the Notes have the right to convert the unpaid principal and accrued interest into shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $1.00 per share. Accrued interest on the Notes was $32,199 at December 31, 2013. As a result we recognized $127,400 in beneficial conversion feature expense for the year ended December 31, 2014.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, we sold an additional $210,000 principal amount of one-year notes, bearing an interest rate of 10% per annum and convertible at any time following issuance until maturity into Shares of Common Stock of the Company at a price of $1.00 per Share.  Accrued interest on all outstanding Notes was $39,643 at December 31, 2014. No beneficial conversion feature expense was recorded in 2014 as the fair value of the stock is less than the conversion price.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, we issued 548,650 common shares for the conversion of $528,000 of convertible notes payable and $20,650 of accrued interest.  A gain of $17,139 was recorded associated with the settlement of the accrued interest.


In February, 2015, we converted $90,620 of these notes ($84,200) and accrued interest ($6,420) into 90,620 shares of Common Stock.  The balance of the notes matured between January 2015 and March 2015 and are now presently due.   In the event one or more of the holders should elect to convert the notes, the issuance of shares of our common stock in satisfaction of the notes will be dilutive to our current stockholders. If the notes are not converted, we will be required to satisfy the notes in cash. We do not have sufficient cash to satisfy the presently due notes, nor the balance of these notes when they become due and there are no assurances we will be able to raise the funds if necessary.


In June 2015 the company converted an aggregate of $234,000 of note holder debt, $215,000 of principle and accrued interest of $19,000 into 234,000 shares.   For the same period the company realized a gain on interest of $12,160.


During the year ended December 31, 2015, we sold an additional $17,500 principal amount of short-term bridge notes.  The notes bear interest at 15% per annum, are unsecured, and are due six months from the date of issuance. At maturity the notes become convertible at $0.20. In addition, the notes become convertible upon an equity financing transaction of at least $500,000.  At Maturity the note holders will also receive 105,000 shares of restricted common stock, which was valued at $88,200 and recorded as an expense.


Accrued interest on all outstanding non-related-party Notes was $67,938 at December 31, 2015.


NOTE 6 - COMMON STOCK AND COMMON STOCK WARRANTS

Common Stock


For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company issued 50,000 shares of Common Stock valued at $45,500 in exchanges for services rendered to the Company.

NOTE 7.  PREFERRED STOCK

The Company has authorized a total of 20,000,000 Shares of Preferred Stock, $.001 par value, which may be issued from time to time and bearing such rights, privileges and preferences as shall be designated by the Board of Directors.  As of December 31, 2015, the Company had issued 4,000 Shares of Preferred Stock, designated as Cumulative Preference A , at a price of $1.25 per Share.     The Shares bear an annual coupon of 5%, and are convertible into Shares of Common Stock of the Company at any time commencing one (1) year from the date of issuance at a conversion price of $1.25 per Share

During the year ended December 31, 2014, we sold $5,000 principal amount of Series A 5% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, at a price of $1.25 per Share.  These Shares bear annual cumulative dividends of 5%, payable at the option of the Company in cash or Shares of Common Stock.  At the option of the holder, beginning one year from the date of issuance the Shares are convertible into Shares of Common Stock at a price of $1.25 per Share.  

In April, 2015, the Corporation authorized the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock to be designated Series B Preferred Stock , having a conversion right at the option of the holder beginning one year from the date of issuance, and which shall be convertible into Shares of Common stock at a Conversion Price equal to the closing market Bid price of the Corporation s Common Stock on the trading date immediately preceding the date of conversion, in accordance with the Certificate of Designation attached hereto and made a part hereof.  In addition, the holder of each Share of Series B Stock shall have the equivalent voting rights of two (2) Shares of Common Stock.  

No Shares of Series B Preferred Stock have been issued to date.



NOTE 8 - GOING CONCERN

The Company's financial statements are prepared using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has recently accumulated significant losses and has negative working capital. All of these items raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans with respect to alleviating the adverse financial conditions that caused management to express substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern are as follows:

The Company is currently trying to raise new debt or equity to continue developing and marketing the BullsnBear.com social media website. No conclusion can be drawn at this time about the commercial viability of the website and the Company has not generated any revenue from its operation. In order to support continued development of the website and concept, the Company plans on raising additional funding during 2016. If the Company is not successful in the development and implementation of a concept which produces positive cash flows from operations, the Company may be forced to continue to raise additional equity or debt financing to fund its ongoing obligations or risk ceasing doing business.




30

 

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve its business plans, raise any more required capital or secure the financing necessary to achieve its current operating plan. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plan described in the preceding paragraph and eventually attain profitable operations.


NOTE 9- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS  

On February 4, 2016, the Company entered into a $121,000 10% Convertible Promissory Note with Tangiers Investment Group, LLC, a non-affiliate.  The term is for one year, with an original issuance of $11,000 for due diligence and legal costs.  The Note is convertible at the option of the Holder into Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price which shall be equal to 55% of the lowest trading price of the Companys Common Stock during the 20 trading days prior to the election to convert.

ITEM 9A.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met.  Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures.  The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon 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.  Our management, with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report.  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer who also serves as our Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the Annual Report were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer who also serves as our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure as a result of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.  A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.


Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).  Our 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 of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.


Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer who also serves as our Chief Financial Officer assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015.  In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control Integrated Framework.  Based on this assessment, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2015, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as a result of material weaknesses. In arriving at that conclusion, management identified as materials weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting: (1) the lack of accounting proficiency of our Chief Executive Officer who is our sole officer and also serves as our Chief Financial Officer which has resulted in a reliance on part-time outside consultants to perform substantially all of our accounting functions, and (2) a lack of adequate segregation of duties and necessary corporate accounting resources in our financial reporting process and accounting function, also arising from our Chief Executive Officers lack of accounting training and service in multiple roles as well as our limited financial resources to support hiring of personnel and implementation of accounting systems.  During 2016 we expect to engage an outside accounting firm with expertise in both GAAP and SEC reporting requirements to assist us in the preparation of our financial statements.  However, until such time as we expand our staff to include additional accounting personnel and hire a full time chief financial officer, it is likely we will continue to report material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.


Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Director Qualifications, Committees of our Board of Directors and the Role of our Board in Risk Oversight


Director qualifications


The following is a discussion for each director of the specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills that led our Board to conclude that the individual should be serving as a director of our company.


James M. Farinella Mr. Farinellas extensive experience as a business consultant and as the founder of small companies were factors considered by the Board in making their recommendation.


Ali Balaban Mr. Balabans successful track record as officer, director, or founder of Internet-based sales companies and his international consulting experience were factors considered by the Board in making their recommendation.


Anthony Turnbull Mr. Turnbulls extensive experience as a chief financial officer and his knowledge of financial management were factors considered by the Board in making their recommendation.


In addition to the each of the individual skills and background described above, the Board also concluded that each of these individuals will continue to provide knowledgeable advice to our other directors and to senior management on numerous issues facing our company and on the development and execution of our strategy.


Committees of our Board of Directors


We have not established any committees of our board of directors, including an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee or a Nominating Committee, any committee performing a similar function. The functions of those committees are being undertaken by Board of Directors as a whole. We have only recently expanded our Board and we expect to establish Audit, Compensation and Nominating Committees in the future.


We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates that may be recommended by our stockholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor has our Board of Directors established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees, nor do we have a policy regarding director diversity. We have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our stockholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our Board has not considered or adopted any of these policies, as we have never received a recommendation from any stockholder for any candidate to serve on our Board of Directors. Given our relative size, we do not anticipate that any of our stockholders will make such a recommendation in the near future. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all members of our Board will participate in the consideration of director nominees. In considering a director nominee, it is likely that our Board will consider the professional and/or educational background of any nominee with a view towards how this person might bring a different viewpoint or experience to our Board.


Mr. Turnbull is considered an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of Item 401(e) of Regulation S-K. In general, an audit committee financial expert is an individual member of the audit committee or Board of Directors who:


·

understands generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements,

·

is able to assess the general application of such principles in connection with accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves,


has experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements comparable to the breadth and complexity to our financial statements,

·

understands internal controls over financial reporting, and

·

understands audit committee functions.


Our securities are not quoted on an exchange that has requirements that a majority of our Board members be independent and we are not currently otherwise subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our Board of Directors include independent directors, nor are we required to establish or maintain an Audit Committee or other committee of our Board of Directors.





34

 

Board oversight in risk management


In November, 2015, Mr. James M. Farinella assumed the position of Chief Executive Officer. The balance of our board is comprised of two independent directors, but we do not have a lead independent director. Our Board believes our current structure provides independence and oversight and facilitates the communication between senior management and the full board of directors regarding risk oversight, which the Board believes strengthens its risk oversight activities.


Risk is inherent with every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. We face a number of risks, including liquidity risk, operational risk, strategic risk and reputation risk. Because our Board is comprised of members of our management, these individuals are responsible for both the day-to-day management of the risks we face as well as the responsibility for the oversight of risk management.


Code of Ethics and Business Conduct


We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which applies to our Board of Directors, our executive officers and our employees, outlines the broad principles of ethical business conduct we adopted, covering subject areas such as:


·

compliance with applicable laws and regulations,

·

handling of books and records,

·

public disclosure reporting,

·

insider trading,

·

discrimination and harassment,

·

health and safety,

·

conflicts of interest,

·

competition and fair dealing, and

·

protection of company assets.


We have previously filed a copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. A copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available without charge, to any person desiring a copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, by written request to us at our principal offices at 6586 West Atlantic Ave., Unit 103, Delray Beach, FL 33446.


Director compensation

We have not established standard compensation arrangements for our directors and the compensation payable to each individual for their service on our Board is determined from time to time by our board of directors based upon the amount of time expended by each of the directors on our behalf. None of our directors were compensated for their services in 2015.


Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act


Our shares of common stock are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and therefore our executive officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of our common shares and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, and to the best of our knowledge, all executive officers, directors and persons holding greater than 10% of our issued and outstanding stock have filed the required reports in a timely manner during 2015.

The amount of compensation payable to Mr. Palladino can be increased at any time upon the determination of the board of directors.
