ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview of Our Business

We have been involved in the wedding services industry in South India since 2004. “KM” is our brand, which is a short form for ‘KalyanaMalai’ meaning ‘Wedding Garland’ in South Indian language. Our services include Matrimonial (Matchmaking) Services (“Matrimonial Services”) and Wedding Services (until June 30, 2015). Considering various business related and socio-economic aspects, the Company has decided to have a dedicated focus on Matrimonial Services business commencing July 1, 2015.

Matrimonial Services include matchmaking and partner identification, through multiple delivery channels via print and visual media, website, physical centers and events. In order to increase traction in the Matrimonial services business, we started leasing wedding halls (physical infrastructures where a wedding is conducted, similar to banquet halls of hotels). The first wedding hall has already commenced operations.

In India, we currently focus on the geographic locations of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh (two of the Southern States in India). We believe that we are well positioned to utilize the potential of the Wedding Services market because of our early presence in this market since 2004. We have conducted promotional events across the U.S.to capture the market potential. We are continuing our efforts to expand our presence in the US. Our target customers include the Indian high-income group, higher middle-income group, and other affluent individuals both in the U.S. and India. This segment, being upwardly mobile and comfort and service focused, is the right target group for our business strategy.

We, through our subsidiary KM India, have been servicing the Indian Diaspora in the U.S. through our website since 2004 which was followed up by Community Meets (events focused on bringing together individuals who are seeking a life partner and who share similar backgrounds (e.g., profession, socio-economic background, religion, etc.) conducted during the fiscal year 2011 in 5 cities (New York City, South Windsor (Connecticut), Boston, Houston and San Antonio) which was attended by approximately 1,200 prospective matrimonial customers. In October 2013, we also filmed for SUN TV across 6 different US cities (New York, South Windsor Connecticut), New Brunswick, San Jose, Dallas and Houston), which was attended by over 5,400 South Indian community members.

2 
 

Based on the experience gained from the above activities, we believe that there is a demand and need in the Indian Diaspora in the U.S. for our Matrimonial Services. We believe a customized and focused approach is required to market to this segment. The current plan for exploring this business opportunity includes setting up offices in the U.S. (fiscal 2015), growing Matrimonial Services for weddings to be fixed in India by Indians in the U.S. launching a customized website for Matrimonial Services in the U.S. market (fiscal 2016-17).

Organizational Structure

KM Wedding Events Management, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 24, 2012.

On February 14, 2013, KM entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with KM Wedding Events Management Private Ltd. (formerly known as KM Matrimony Pvt Ltd,) a company incorporated under the 1956 Companies Act of India (“KM India”), pursuant to which KM agreed to purchase ten million (10,000,000) shares of KM India’s common stock at a price of 11 Indian Rupees (approximately $0.21) per share for an aggregate purchase price of up to two million one hundred thousand dollars ($2,100,000) dollars. As of July 6, 2015, pursuant to the above agreement, KM has purchased 1,393,127 shares at 11 Rupees per share ($0.201 at the time of the sale) in KM India on April 3, 2013 for $280,000.

On February 14, 2013, KM entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the shareholders of KM India, comprised of Mr. VenkatesanVaidhyanathan (now known as T.V. Mohan), Mrs. MeeraNagarajan, Mr. Sridhar Kalyanasundaram, Mr. VenkatesanVijayaBhaskar and Mrs. NithyaVijayaBhaskar, pursuant to which KM shall purchase Three Million One Hundred and Fifty Thousand (3,150,000) shares of KM India’s common stock from Mr. VenkatesanVaidhyanathan, Mrs. MeeraNagarajan, Mr. Sridhar Kalyanasundaram, Mr. VenkatesanVijayaBhaskar and Mrs. NithyaVijayaBhaskar payable in two tranches as follows: (i) Tranche A: One Million One Hundred Fifty Thousand (1,150,000) shares of KM India’s common stock at a purchase price of 11 Indian Rupees ($0.21) per share (“Tranche A”); and, (ii) Tranche B: Two Million (2,000,000) shares of KM India’s common stock at a purchase price equal to the fair market value of KM India’s shares at the time of purchase (“Tranche B”). As of July 6, 2015, KM has purchased 1,120,018 shares in KM India on April 26, 2013 from Tranche A for an aggregate of $229,000 from two of the shareholders of KM India via Mr. VenkatesanVaidhyanathan (562,455 shares for $115,000) and Mrs. MeeraNagarajan (557,564 shares for $114,000). The remaining Tranche A shares and the Tranche B shares have to be sold within three (3) years from February 14, 2013.

As a result of the Stock Purchase Agreements referenced above, KM now carries on the business of KM India as its primary business and KM India is a subsidiary of KM. KM currently holds 58.33% of KM India.

Matrimonial Services (Matchmaking Services)

 

In 2004, KM India entered into the Matrimonial Services industry by acquiring three different firms involved in various aspects of matrimonial services, as set forth below:

 

  Pyramid Creations, a production firm providing matrimonial services through a TV program named KM which commenced in 2000;

 

  Kalyanamalai.net, a firm providing matrimonial services through Online Platform since 2001; and

 

  Kalyanamalai, a Matrimonial Magazine (Publication) firm established in 2002.

KM India consolidated these activities and became a single comprehensive Matrimonial Service provider with multiple delivery channels via print and visual media, website, physical centers and events.

 

For the Matrimonial Services, we use the brand name ‘Kalyanamalai’. While we continued to utilize the 3-service delivery platforms listed above (TV, online platform and magazine publication), we also expanded our services by opening 19 centers across South India. Further, new services such as ‘Joint Prayers’ (where those seeking a life partner seek divine intervention for early and hurdle free wedding) and Community Meet (where those seeking a life partner falling under a similar group, e.g., profession, socio-economic background, etc., come together to explore the right match for them) were introduced. We believe that the wide range of services we provide to our customers through various platforms makes us a comprehensive service provider and a leader in the South Indian wedding market.

 

3 
 

One of our key strategies is to take advantage of new age technologies. Further, in order to ensure the reach of our services to our target groups, which also include customers from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities (explained in detail below), where significant percentages of population have limited or no access to the internet, we have created a network of brick and mortar centers supported by an online technology platform for enabling matchmaking. Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities are non-metro cities that are generally defined based on their populations and commercialization as determined by a multitude of factors such as sales tax revenue, number of bank branches, internet connections, and number of skilled workers etc. Tier 2 cities have a population of 1 to 5 million and Tier 3 cities are those cities which have a population of less than 1 million. Tier 1 cities are cities with populations exceeding 5 million.

 

As such, we have created a unique combination of technology and tradition, which we believe gives us a competitive edge in the market place. With our commitment to servicing customers’ specific needs, we have been able to provide products ranging from $60 to $1,800 for matrimonial services. Also, since its beginning, we have been able to service a large group of customers and have grown to become a major matrimonial service provider in South India, having successfully enabled more than 20,000 matches.

 

We believe we are a leader in the industry and we credit our various “firsts” in terms of introduction of new concepts and services, including;

 

  Profile introduction on TV.

 

  A magazine focusing exclusively on/dedicated to matrimony, having color photographs of the profiles.

 

  Conducting Community Meets across the geographies for customer acquisition and service.

 

  Introducing the concept of matrimonial services assisted by KM’s personnel who provide personalized service to the customers in their endeavor to finding a match.

 

  Improved search tools and matching logic for the online platform.

 

  Forward integration of Wedding Services with the matrimonial services.

One aspect that sets us apart from our competitors is the introduction of profiles of individuals seeking to be matched through a weekly TV series that has been running since 2000. The TV series is telecast on SUN TV, which is ranked No. 1 in terms of viewership and reach in the South Indian TV Market. SUN TV operates33 channels and has the highest reach, frequency and patronage of millions of viewership all over the world.

 

We believe our weekly TV series gives us a competitive edge for driving the brand as well as providing efficient service to profile seekers. To make the best of this, we have implemented a unique design for the program to enable the brand to reach a far larger audience than just the profile seekers. The program design incorporates an entertainment based ‘debate show’ as an integral part of the program, which covers various topics of social impact which are discussed and debated upon by professionals and experts. This debate is moderated and judged by a professional and/or celebrity. By covering interesting topics, this program has attracted large numbers of followers and has also enabled us to get over 50 celebrities on our platform, including policy makers, administrators, politicians, actors and other celebrities. Filming for this ‘debate show’ is held in front of a large live audience (ranging from 1,000 - 3,000 live viewers). This has created a strong brand positioning for us and has created an ideal launching platform for our wedding services. Further, this has helped us gain recognition as a player suited to cater to the requirements of the target customer base.

 

We believe that being telecast on the SUN TV network affords us the following advantages:

 

  Immediate brand recognition among the viewers of the program with our services; and

 

  Numerous options for the profiles for finding the right partner filtered through a wide base.

 

Strategic Alliances

 

We have entered into various strategic relationships, in an endeavor to create and position our KM brand.

 

  Satellite Channel SUN TV: a leading Satellite Channel having a wide reach as well as high viewership among the Tamil Community[1]. Our agreement with SUN TV (the “SUN TV Agreement”) enables us to screen the Kalyanamalai TV program wherein the profiles of individuals seeking to be matched are introduced on TV. The TV program started in the year 2000 by the firm, Pyramid Creations, and has continued for over 13 years as a weekly episode. The program, which includes an entertainment component, helps promote our brand image among this audience.

 

  Publication: We entered into an agreement with Print Links (the “Printing Agreement”) to print our matrimonial magazine, Kalyanamalai.

Expansion in the U.S. Market

 

We, through KM India, have been servicing the Non Resident Indian (“NRI”) and Persons of Indian Origin (“PIO”) communities in the U.S. since 2004. Our SUN TV Program is popular among the South Indian NRI community in the U.S.

 

With regard to the NRI and PIO population in the U.S.:

 

  As of 2003, there are 200,000 NRI millionaires in the U.S.[4];

 

  As of 2003, one out of nine Indians in the U.S. is a millionaire, which represents around 10% of all millionaires in the U.S.[5];

 

  As of 2011, the American NRI median income was estimated to be over $60,000 compared to the national average of $38,885, making it the wealthiest immigrant group in the U.S.[6].

This is a large market for Matrimony services in the U.S.

 

Since 2011, our ties with the U.S. have increased substantially. Our management team visited and met with various South Indian groups and associations across the length and breadth of the U.S. and has created close relationships with these groups/associations. We have established relationships with a large number of associations from across the U.S., including the following:

 

  Federation of Tamil Sangams of North America (FeTNA)

 

  Tamil Sangam of Greater Washington

 

  Tamil Association of Greater Delaware Valley

 

  Connecticut Tamil Sangam

 

  Las Vegas Tamil Sangam

 

  Boston Thamil Association

 

  MuthamizhSangam of Central Florida

 

  Kentucky Tamil Sangam

 

  Greater Atlanta Tamil Sangam (GATS)

 

  New Jersey Tamil Arts and Cultural Society (NJTACS)

 

  Chicago Tamil Sangam

 

  Austin TamizhSangam

 

  Tamil Sangam– Michigan

 

  Minnesota Tamil Sangam (MNTS)

 

  Richmond Tamil Sangam

 

  Lexington Tamil Cultural Association

 

  Alabama Tamil Sangam

 

  New England Tamil Sangam

 

  Tampa Tamil Association

 

  The Tamil Association of Colorado

In October 2013, we filmed our SUN TV television program in six locations throughout the U.S., including New York City, South Windsor, New Brunswick, San Jose, Dallas and Houston. These episodes will assist in our launch throughout the U.S.

 

While we have commenced our promotions in the U.S. we plan to strengthen our position in the market by providing Wedding Services for weddings to be conducted in India by Indians in the U.S., launching a customized website for Matrimonial Services in the U.S. market (fiscal 2016-17).

 

Competition

 

Our industry consists of a wide spectrum of service providers. Each service provider focuses on one or a few services required for a wedding. Hence, there are not many organized companies which focus on a providing targeted matrimonial services similar to our services.

 

A comparison chart across various organized companies and major categories of competition is as follows:

 

Name Matrimony Wedding Planning Event Management Event Infra
KM Strong Medium Strong Medium
Bharat Matrimony Strong No No No
Shaadi.com Strong No No No
Times matrimony Strong No No No
Event Managers No No Strong No
Wedding Halls No No No Strong

 

 

Government Regulations

 

We are subject to a number of U.S. federal and state, and foreign laws and regulations that affect companies conducting business on the Internet, many of which are still evolving and being tested in courts, and could be interpreted in ways that could harm our business. These may involve user privacy, rights of publicity, data protection, content, intellectual property, distribution, electronic contracts and other communications, competition and consumer protection. In particular, we are subject to federal, state, and foreign laws regarding privacy and protection of user data. Foreign data protection, privacy, and other laws and regulations are often more restrictive than those in the U.S. U.S. federal and state and foreign laws and regulations are constantly evolving and can be subject to significant change. In addition, the application and interpretation of these laws and regulations are often uncertain, particularly in the new and rapidly-evolving industry in which we operate. There are also a number of legislative proposals pending before the U.S. Congress, various state legislative bodies, and foreign governments concerning data protection, which could affect our business.

 

6 
 

As can be expected with any revolutionary change in the landscape of global computing, certain legal issues arise. Laws and regulations directly applicable to Internet communications, e-commerce and advertising are becoming more prevalent and, due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet, it is likely that additional laws and regulations will be adopted. Compliance with these laws and regulations may involve significant costs or require changes in business practices that result in reduced revenue. Noncompliance could result in penalties being imposed on our Company, or an order that we stop the alleged noncompliant activity, either of which would substantially harm our business.

 

Further, there are a number of legislative proposals pending before the U.S. Congress, various state legislative bodies and foreign governments concerning data protection and many states have passed laws that require notifications to be sent to customers when there is a security breach of personal data. The interpretation and application of current laws regarding data protection are still uncertain and in flux. It is possible that these laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our data practices. If so, in addition to the possibility of fines, this could result in an order requiring that we change our data and disclosure practices, which could have an adverse effect on our business. Complying with these various laws could cause us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices in a manner adverse to our business.

 

Intellectual Property

 

KM India has secured the website domain name www.kmmatrimony.com. We plan to apply for trademark protection in the U.S. of the brand KM.  We may later seek patent protection in the U.S. of the technologies that drive our services.   Securing these protections will be material to our business as it will raise awareness of our brand and services and protect our ideas from use by other companies with a similar business model.  

 

Companies in the Internet, technology, and media industries own large numbers of patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets and frequently enter into litigation based on allegations of infringement, misappropriation, or other violations of intellectual property or other rights. We intend to protect our future intellectual property rights by relying on federal, state and common law rights, as well as contractual restrictions. We hope to control access to our proprietary information by entering into confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants or any third parties we may engage.

 

Our Customers

 

Our services and products are sold to in India domestic markets as well as to the Indians in foreign countries such as United States of America, UK, Europe, Singapore, Dubai and other countries where Indians have settled. In 2015 and 2016, approximately 90% and Nil, respectively, of our sales were made domestically in approximately 10% and Nil, respectively, were to international customers, primarily Dubai.

 

Employees and Consultants

 

As of June 1, 2016 we have approximately 27 full-time employees, and 3 consultants who operate as independent contractors. We intend to increase the number of our employees and consultants to meet our needs as we grow.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which our directors, officers or any affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

RISK FACTORS

We are subject to various risks that may materially harm our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. An investment in our common stock is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. In evaluating an investment in shares of our common stock, you should carefully consider the risks described below, together with the other information included in this report. The risks described below are not the only risks we face. If any of the events described in the following risk factors actually occurs, or if additional risks and uncertainties later materialize, that are not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial, then our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment in our shares. The risks discussed below include forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements.

Business Risks

The market for wedding services is highly competitive, and competition is increasing as more companies, many that are larger and have greater resources than we do, are able to capture the market from us. Further, considering that the industry is largely unorganized, numerous small players can pose strong competition for us by underpricing the types of services that we provide.

 

In regards to the wedding matchmaking services, there are various online matrimonial providers who are large players and who have already attained significant operations compared to us. These providers have greater financial back up, investments in technology, resources and market infrastructure to offer competitive service rates that may pose significant challenges to us. We also compete with numerous small and mid-size online companies, and unorganized traditional brick and mortar service providers who may offer services at cheaper price points than us, which may have an adverse effect on our business, including increased price competition and loss of potential customers.

 

Our ability to grow our business is dependent on our ability to compete effectively with other providers and requires capital investment in marketing and advertisement. Many existing and potential competitors have longer operating histories and greater market share and brand recognition than we do. In addition, many of our existing and potential competitors are substantially larger than we are and may already have or could develop substantially greater financial and other resources than we have. We may also face price competition that results in decreases in the purchase and use of our products and services. To stay competitive, we may have to increase the incentives that we offer to our customers and decrease the prices of our products and services, which could adversely affect our operating results and profitability.

 

The wedding industry is highly dependent on social structure and practices. Any major change in the same will adversely impact the business and thus our financial performance.

 

The wedding services industry is highly dependent on the social structure, religious practices and others. Any major change in the same by the consumers will adversely impact the business and thus our financial performance.

 

Our business depends significantly on the market recognition of our Founder & Chairman, who is our brand ambassador, and if we are not able to maintain or enhance our brand recognition, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.

 

In the event of the demise of our Founder and Chairman, Mr. T.V. Mohan (formerly known as V. Venkatesan), who is the brand ambassador and face of the Company, or any accident or injury or ill health caused to him, we may not be able to maintain our business and brand recognition, or enhance our brand appeal. This could significantly affect our business and operations.

 

Our ability to maintain our competitive position and to implement our business strategy is dependent to a significant extent on the performance of our senior management team and other key functional personnel.

 

We depend on our current senior management for the implementation of our strategy and the operation of our day-to-day activities. Furthermore, relationships of members of senior management are important to the conduct of our business. Competition for experienced management personnel in the wedding services industry is intense, the pool of qualified candidates is limited, and we may not be able to retain the services of our senior executives or key personnel or attract and retain high-quality senior executives or key personnel in the future. Consequently, there can be no assurance that these individuals will continue to make their services available to us in the future. Any significant loss of senior management or key personnel could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

 

8 
 

In addition, if any member of our senior management team or any of our other key personnel joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may consequently lose our proprietary know-how.

 

Our key management personnel have entered into confidentiality and/or non-competition agreements with us. However, if any disputes arise between any of our key management personnel and us, it may be difficult for us to enforce these agreements.

 

Our profitability is substantially dependent on scalability of wedding services which may be negatively affected by various factors.

 

Our profit margin is largely a function of service fees charged to our customers.These fees are affected by a number of factors, including:

 

  Our customer’s perception of our ability to add value through our services;

 

  The introduction of better products or services by our competitors;

 

  The pricing policies of our competitors;

 

  General economic recessionary conditions;

 

  The increase in input cost of materials which we may not be able to pass on to the customers; and

 

  Increase in lease rental costs charged by wedding infrastructure owners.

 

If our service fees are not properly priced, our revenue will decline and we will not be able to sustain our profit margin, which could have a material adverse effect on our profitability.

 

We have entered into outsourcing and other agreements related to certain business operations, and any difficulties experienced in these arrangements could result in additional expense, loss of customers and revenue, or an interruption of our services.

 

We have entered into few outsourcing agreements with third parties to provide matrimonial events. As a result, we must rely on third parties over which we have limited control, to perform certain of our operations and, in the majority of cases, to interface with our customers. If these third parties are unable to perform to our requirement of high quality services, we may be forced to pursue alternative strategies to provide these services, which could result in delays, interruptions, additional expenses to us and loss of customers. This may require us to pursue new third-party relationships. If we are unable to complete a transition to a new provider on a timely basis, or at all, we could be forced to temporarily or permanently discontinue certain services, which could disrupt services to our customers and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The inability to maintain or strengthen our brand may reduce our ability to retain and attract customers, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

 

The nature of the industry requires continuous efforts to increase brand awareness among our consumers. This will be an important part of our strategy to grow our business. Developing, promoting and maintaining our brand and image requires a consistent capital investment and expense, and this investment in our brand and image may not be successful. If we fail to develop, promote and maintain our brand and image, we may not be able to grow our customer base and our financial and operational results may suffer.

 

If we lose key personnel or are unable to attract additional qualified personnel as we grow, our business could be adversely affected.

 

The matrimonial services business is highly personnel intensive and requires constant efforts on training. We depend on the ability and experience of a number of our key personnel who have substantial experience in our line of operations. It is possible that the loss of the services of one or a combination of our senior executives or key managers would have an adverse effect on our operations. Our success also depends on our ability to continue to attract, train, manage and retain other qualified management and skilled personnel as we grow, and we may be unable to attract, manage or retain such personnel. Due to the competitive nature of our industry, we may also be vulnerable to attempts by our competitors to hire our employees.

Business, political and economic factors may affect our operations, the manner in which we conduct our business and our rate of growth.

 

The growth rate of the Indian economy has dropped over the last two years and unemployment rates are rising. If economic conditions and unemployment rates continue to deteriorate or do not improve, our target consumer base may be negatively affected due to the generally lower incomes of the customers. In addition, a large proportion of our target customers work in industries that may be disproportionately affected by a downturn in the Indian economy, which may limit their disposable incomes and consequently, their discretionary spending. Stagnant economic growth and high unemployment are likely to negatively affect our customers' ability to pay for our services. The resulting impact of such economic conditions on our customers and on consumer spending could have a material adverse effect on demand for our services and on our business, financial condition and operating results.

 

If we are unable to adequately protect our intellectual property and brand image we may lose a valuable competitive advantage or be forced to incur costly litigation to protect our rights.

 

Our success depends in part on our ability to protect our intellectual property rights and brand image. Currently, we have the right to utilize certain intellectual property comprising of wedding design, catering know-how, talent pool, skilled labor, vendor supply chain network, wedding hall owner’s network, sourcing strategy, proprietary recipe of signature dishes, etc. It is possible that third parties will infringe upon these rights and, as a result, we may be forced to spend significant amounts of time or money to defend these rights. Further, we have not yet obtained trademark protection of our KM brand. Securing these protections will be material to our business as it will help protect our ideas and image from use by competitors with a similar business model.  

 

Our failure to anticipate rapid changes in competition may negatively affect demand for our services in the marketplace.

 

The matrimonial services market may be subject to rapid and significant business changes. We expect that new services and concepts applicable to our industry will emerge in the future, and these new services and concepts may be superior to our services. Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to develop new services according to changing business conditions. These initiatives are inherently risky, and they may not be successful or may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our business and activities will be regulated by the Competition Act, 2002 (India).

 

The Parliament of India enacted the Competition Act, 2002 (the “Competition Act”) for the purpose of preventing practices having an adverse effect on competition in the relevant market in India under the auspices of the Competition Commission of India (the “CCI”). Under the Competition Act, any arrangement, understanding or action, whether formal or informal, which causes or is likely to cause an appreciable adverse effect on competition is void and attracts substantial penalties. On March 4, 2011, the Government notified and brought into force the combination regulation (merger control) provisions under the Competition Act, effective from June 1, 2011. The combination regulation provisions require that acquisition of shares, voting rights, assets or control or mergers or amalgamations which cross the prescribed asset and turnover-based thresholds shall be mandatorily notified to and pre-approved by the CCI. In addition, on May 11, 2011, the CCI issued the final Competition Commission of India (Procedure in regard to the transaction of business relating to combinations) Regulations, 2011 that sets out the mechanism for implementation of the combination regulation provisions under the Competition Act.

 

The effect of the Competition Act on the business environment in India is currently unclear. If we are affected, directly or indirectly, by any provision of the Competition Act, or its application or interpretation, including any enforcement proceedings initiated by the Competition Commission and any adverse publicity that may be generated due to scrutiny or prosecution by the Competition Commission, it may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Our ability to raise foreign capital may be constrained by Indian law.

 

Our operating subsidiary, as an Indian company, will be subject to exchange controls that regulate investments in foreign currencies. Such regulatory restrictions limit our financing sources for our business operations or acquisitions and other strategic transactions, and consequently could constrain our ability to obtain financings. In addition, we cannot assure you that the required approvals will be granted to us, even if granted within the normal time limits.

 

If we are not able to obtain further financing, our business operations may fail.

 

At March 31, 2016, our working capital deficit was $556,345 and we had $13,250 in cash and cash equivalents. We have evaluated our expected cash requirements over the next twelve months, and have determined that our existing cash resources are not sufficient to meet our anticipated needs during the next twelve months, and that additional financing is required to support current operations. In addition, we anticipate that further additional financing may be required to fund our business plan subsequent to that date, until such time as revenues and related cash flows become sufficient to support our operating costs.

 

The successful implementation of our business plan is dependent upon us receiving sufficient funds from the sale of securities and/or additional funding from management, the issuance of equity or debt, or through obtaining a credit facility. In additional, substantial expenditures will be required to enable us to expand and scale up our operations and quality of services. We will require additional financing from issuance of equity or debt, or through obtaining a credit facility, to execute our plan of operations. Our established bank-financing arrangements will not be adequate. Although management believes that the additional required funding will be obtained through the sale of securities, there is no guarantee we will be able to obtain the additional required funds in the future or that funds will be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If such funds are not available, management will be required to curtail its investments in additional sales and marketing and product development resources, and capital expenditures, which may have a material adverse effect on our future cash flows and results of operations, and its ability to continue operating as a going concern.

 

We may enter into additional financing agreements which may have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share and the rights of certain stockholders.

Additional financings could result in significant dilution to our earnings per share or the issuance of securities with rights superior to our current outstanding securities. For instance, we may grant registration rights to investors purchasing our equity or debt securities in the future.

We may be unable to raise additional capital.

If we are unable to raise additional financing when needed, we may be unable to implement our long-term business plan, develop or enhance our products and services, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures on a timely basis, if at all. In addition, a lack of additional financing could force us to substantially curtail or cease operations.

It may be difficult for our stockholders to effect service of process against our subsidiaries or our officers and directors.

Our operating subsidiary is organized under the laws of India and substantially all of their assets are located outside the U.S. In addition, our executive officers and directors are residents of India and substantially all of their assets are located outside the U.S. As a result, it could be difficult for our stockholders to effect service of process in the U.S., or to enforce a judgment obtained in the U.S., against our officers and directors.

Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to receive and use our revenues effectively.

The majority of our revenues are settled in Indian Rupee and U.S. dollars, and any future restrictions on currency exchanges may limit our ability to use revenue generated in Indian Rupee to fund any future business activities outside India or to make dividends or other payments in U.S. dollars. In addition, our financial condition is affected by the foreign exchange rates, primarily the rate between the U.S. dollar and the Indian Rupee. In the event that the Indian Rupee appreciates against the U.S. dollar, our costs will increase.

Risks Related To the Market For Our Stock

You may have limited access to information regarding our business because we are a limited reporting company exempt from many regulatory requirements and our obligations to file periodic reports with the SEC could be automatically suspended under certain circumstances.

 

We are not a fully reporting company, but rather, subject to the reporting requirements of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As such we are required to file periodic reports with the SEC, which are immediately available to the public for inspection and copying. Except during the year that our registration statement becomes effective, these reporting obligations may be automatically suspended under Section 15(d) if we have less than 300 stockholders. If this occurs after the year in which our registration statement becomes effective, we will no longer be obligated to file periodic reports with the SEC and your access to our business information would then be even more restricted; however, that filing obligation will generally apply even if our reporting obligations have been suspended automatically under section 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the due date for the Form 10-K. After that fiscal year and provided we have less than 300 stockholders, we are not required to file these reports. If the reports are not filed, the investors will have reduced visibility as to the Company and our financial condition.

 

In addition, as a filer subject to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, we are not required to prepare proxy or information statements, and our common stock will not be subject to the protection of the ongoing private regulations. Additionally, we will be subject to only limited portions of the tender offer rules, and our officers, directors, and more than ten percent (10%) stockholders are not required to file beneficial ownership reports about their holdings in our Company, and will not be subject to the short-swing profit recovery provisions of the Exchange Act. Further, more than five percent (5%) holders of classes of our equity securities will not be required to report information about their ownership positions in the securities. This means that your access to information regarding our business will be limited.

 

As a reporting company under the Exchange Act, we are required to comply with the internal control evaluation and certification requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, starting with the second annual report that we file with the SEC. In connection with the implementation of the necessary procedures and practices related to internal control over financial reporting, we may identify deficiencies that we may not be able to remediate in time to meet the deadline imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for compliance with the requirements of Section 404. We will be unable to issue securities in the public markets through the use of a shelf registration statement if we are not in compliance with Section 404. Furthermore, failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment could have a material adverse effect on our business and share price and could limit our ability to report our financial results accurately and timely.

 

Furthermore, as long as we remain an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”), we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We intend to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an “emerging growth company.”

 

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of: (A) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement, (B) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of $1.0 billion or more, (C) the date that we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (D) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

 

12 
 

Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, defines a “smaller reporting company” as an issuer that is not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent that is not a smaller reporting company and that:

 

Had a public float of less than $75 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter, computed by multiplying the aggregate worldwide number of shares of its voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates by the price at which the common equity was last sold, or the average of the bid and asked prices of common equity, in the principal market for the common equity; or

 

In the case of an initial registration statement under the Securities Act or Exchange Act for shares of its common equity, had a public float of less than $75 million as of a date within 30 days of the date of the filing of the registration statement, computed by multiplying the aggregate worldwide number of such shares held by non-affiliates before the registration plus, in the case of a Securities Act registration statement, the number of such shares included in the registration statement by the estimated public offering price of the shares; or

 

In the case of an issuer whose public float as calculated under paragraph (1) or (2) of this definition was zero, had annual revenues of less than $50 million during the most recently completed fiscal year for which audited financial statements are available.

 

We qualify as a smaller reporting company, and so long as we remain a smaller reporting company, we benefit from the same exemptions and exclusions as an emerging growth company. In the event that we cease to be an emerging growth company as a result of a lapse of the five year period, but continue to be a smaller reporting company, we would continue to be subject to the exemptions available to emerging growth companies until such time as we were no longer a smaller reporting company.

 

After, and if ever, we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” we expect to incur significant additional expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with those requirements applicable to companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

 

We are an “Emerging Growth Company” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to Emerging Growth Companies will make our common stock less attractive to Investors.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”), and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

 

Under the JOBS Act, “emerging growth companies” can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to “opt out” of such extended transition period and, therefore, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.

 

13 
 

Certain of our directors and executive officers have the ability to delay or prevent adoption of important business decisions based on their ownership of a significant percentage of our outstanding voting securities.

Our directors and executive officers, collectively, are the beneficial record owners of approximately 54.52% of our outstanding voting securities. As a result, our management possesses significant influence over our business. For instance, our management may elect our Board of Directors, authorize significant corporate transactions or prevent a future change in control of our company.

Certain provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation may make it more difficult for a third party to effect a change- in-control.

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes our Board of Directors to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval. The preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, the terms of which may be determined at the time of issuance by the Board of Directors without further action by the stockholders. These terms may contain voting rights, including the right to vote as a series on particular matters, preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion rights and redemption rights provisions. The issuance of any preferred stock could diminish the rights of holders of our common stock, and therefore could reduce the value of such common stock. In addition, specific rights granted to future holders of preferred stock could be used to restrict our ability to merge with, or sell assets to, a third party. The ability of our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock could make it more difficult to acquire us and could negatively affect the market price of our common stock.

We do not expect to pay dividends in the future, and any return on your investment may be limited to the value of the shares you acquire.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future and any return on your investment may be limited to the value of the shares of our common stock that you acquire. We currently intend to retain and use any future earnings for the development and expansion of our business.

Our stock price may be volatile.

 

The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various potential factors, many of which will be beyond our control, including the following:

 

  products and services offered by us and our competitors;

 

  additions or departures of key personnel;

 

  our ability to execute our business plan;

 

  operating results that fall below expectations;

 

  industry developments;

 

  economic and other external factors; and

 

  period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results.

In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

As a public company, we will incur substantial expenses.

 

So long as our registration statement remains effective, we will continue to be subject to the information and reporting requirements of the U.S. securities laws. The U.S. securities laws require, among other things, review, audit, and public reporting of our financial results, business activities, and other matters. SEC regulation, including regulation enacted as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has also substantially increased the accounting, legal, and other costs related to becoming and remaining an SEC reporting company. If we do not have current information about our Company available to

14 
 

market makers, they will not be able to trade our stock. The public company costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports and other information with the SEC, and furnishing audited reports to stockholders, will cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if we were privately-held. These increased costs may be material and may include the hiring of additional employees and/or the retention of additional advisors and professionals. Our failure to comply with the federal securities laws could result in private or governmental legal action against us and/or our sole officer and director, which could have a detrimental effect on our business and finances, the value of our stock, and the ability of stockholders to resell their stock.

 

FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that relate to the application of the SEC’s penny stock rules in trading our securities and require that a broker/dealer have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer, prior to recommending the investment. Prior to recommending speculative, low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker/dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative, low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker/dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity and liquidity of our common stock. Further, many brokers charge higher transactional fees for penny stock transactions. As a result, fewer broker/dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, reducing a stockholder’s ability to resell shares of our common stock.

 

We may be exposed to potential risks resulting from new requirements under section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

 

There are substantial penalties that could be imposed upon us if we fail to comply with all regulatory requirements. In particular, under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to include in our annual report our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in our Form 10-K. We expect to incur additional expenses and diversion of management’s time as a result of performing the system and process evaluation, testing and remediation required in order to comply with the management certification.

 

If a market for our common stock does not develop, stockholders may be unable to sell their shares.

 

A market for our common stock may never develop. There is no guarantee that our shares will ever be traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, or, if traded, a public market may not materialize. If our common stock is not traded on the OTC Bulletin Board or if a public market for our common stock does not develop, investors may not be able to re-sell the shares of our common stock that they have purchased and may lose all of their investment.

 

Our common stock may be deemed “penny stock”, which would make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares.

 

If a market develops and the price of our stock is below $5.00 per share, or we do not have $2,000,000 in net tangible assets, or is not listed on an exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market System, among other conditions, our shares may be subject to a rule promulgated by the SEC that imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and institutionalaccredited investors. For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. Furthermore, if the price of our stock is below $5.00 and does not meet the conditions set forth above, sales of our stock in the secondary market will be subject to certain additional new rules promulgated by the SEC. These rules generally require, among other things, that brokers engaged in secondary trading of stock provide customers with written disclosure documents, monthly statements of the market value of penny stocks, disclosure of the bid and asked prices, and disclosure of the compensation to the broker-dealers and disclosure of the sales person working for the broker-dealer. These rules and regulations may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities, thereby limiting the liquidity of our securities. They may also affect the ability of our stockholders to resell their securities in the secondary market.

 

15 
 

Additional issuances of our securities may result in immediate dilution to existing stockholders.

 

We are authorized to issue up to 300,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of which 42,096,160 shares are currently issued and outstanding. Further, we are authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share of which none are issued and outstanding. Our Board of Directors has the authority to cause us to issue additional shares of common stock, and to determine the rights, preferences and privileges of our preferred stock, without consent of any of our stockholders. We may issue either common or preferred stock in connection with financing arrangements or otherwise. Any such issuances will result in immediate dilution to our existing stockholders’ interests, which will negatively affect the value of your shares.

 

The elimination of monetary liability against our existing and future directors, officers and employees under Delaware law and the existence of indemnification rights to our existing and future directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by us and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers and employees.

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation contains specific provisions that eliminate the liability of directors for monetary damages to us and our stockholders; further, we are prepared to give such indemnification to our existing and future directors and officers to the extent provided by Delaware law. We may also have contractual indemnification obligations under any employment agreements it may have with our officers and directors. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in us incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage us from bringing a lawsuit against existing and future directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our stockholders against our existing and future directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders.

 

Absence of Public Market

 

There has never been any established “public market” for shares of our common stock and no assurance can be given that any market for our common stock will develop or be maintained. If a public market ever develops in the future, the sale of “unregistered” and “restricted” shares of common stock pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act may adversely affect the market price, if any, for our shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities. In order to qualify for the resale of common stock under Rule 144, certain holding periods must be met and either legal opinions setting forth exemptions from the Securities Act must be provided or registration statements must be in effect relating to such common stock. Further, there is no assurance that Rule 144 will be applicable to us and investors may not be able to rely on our provisions now or in the future.

 

Dividends

 

Payment of dividends on the common stock and preferred stock is within the discretion of the Board of Directors, is subject to state law, and will depend upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements, financial condition and other relevant factors.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

At March 31, 2016, our working capital deficit was $556,345 and we had $13,250 in cash and cash equivalents. We have evaluated our expected cash requirements over the next twelve months, and have determined that our existing cash resources are not sufficient to meet our anticipated needs during the next twelve months, and that additional financing is required to support current operations. In addition, we anticipate that further additional financing may be required to fund our business plan subsequent to that date, until such time as revenues and related cash flows become sufficient to support our operating costs.

 

The successful implementation of our business plan is dependent upon us receiving sufficient funds from the sale of securities and/or additional funding from management, the issuance of equity or debt, or through obtaining a credit facility. In additional, substantial expenditures will be required to enable us to expand and scale up our operations and quality of services. We will require additional financing from issuance of equity or debt, or through obtaining a credit facility, to execute our plan of operations. Our established bank-financing arrangements will not be adequate. Although management believes that the additional required funding will be obtained through the sale of securities, there is no guarantee we will be able to obtain the additional required funds in the future or that funds will be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If such funds are not available, management will be required to curtail its investments in additional sales and marketing and product development resources, and capital expenditures, which may have a material adverse effect on our future cash flows and results of operations, and its ability to continue operating as a going concern.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

 

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the Notes to our audited financial statements. In general, management’s estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

We have implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and we do not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no 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.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The SEC defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” to mean a company’s controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. “Disclosure controls and procedures” include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management. Our management (with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act). Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate ‎internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial ‎reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s principal executive‎officer and principal financial officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of ‎financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external ‎purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent‎limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. ‎All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. ‎Therefore, even those systems determined. to be effective can provide only reasonable‎assurances with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Additionally, ‎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. Our management of the Company ‎is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial‎reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. As ‎of March 31, 2016, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control ‎over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial‎reporting established in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework,” issued by the Committee ‎of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Based on the ‎assessment, management determined that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2016 ‎ based on the COSO criteria.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, there were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation performed during the fiscal year covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Audit Committee

Our Board of Directors has not established a separate audit committee within the meaning of Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Instead, the entire Board of Directors acts as the audit committee within the meaning of Section 3(a)(58)(B) of the Exchange Act and will continue to do so until such time as a separate audit committee has been established.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

We currently have not designated anyone as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K as we have not yet created an audit committee of the Board of Directors.

Nominations to the Board of Directors

Our directors take a critical role in guiding our strategic direction and oversee the management of the Company. Board candidates are considered based upon various criteria, such as their broad-based business and professional skills and experiences, a global business and social perspective, concern for the long-term interests of the stockholders, diversity, and personal integrity and judgment.

In addition, directors must have time available to devote to Board of Directors activities and to enhance their knowledge in the growing business. Accordingly, we seek to attract and retain highly qualified directors who have sufficient time to attend to their substantial duties and responsibilities to the Company.

In carrying out its responsibilities, the Board of Directors will consider candidates suggested by stockholders. If a stockholder wishes to formally place a candidate’s name in nomination, however, he or she must do so in accordance with the provisions of our Bylaws. Suggestions for candidates to be evaluated by the proposed directors must be sent to the Board of Directors, c/o 11501 Dublin Blvd., Suite 200, Dublin, California 94568.

Director Nominations

As of June 29, 2016, we did not effect any material changes to the procedures by which our shareholders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors.

Board’s Leadership Role in Risk Oversight

Our Chairman of the Board of Directors is Mr. T V Mohan and our Chief Executive Officer is Ms. MeeraNagarajan. We determined this leadership structure was appropriate for us due to our small size and current operations. Our Board of Directors will continue to evaluate our leadership structure and modify as appropriate based on our size, resources and operations. It is anticipated that our Board of Directors will establish procedures to determine an appropriate role for the Board of Directors in our risk oversight function.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No interlocking relationship exists between our Board of Directors and the board of directors or compensation committee of any other company, nor has any interlocking relationship existed in the past.

Security Holders Recommendations to Board of Directors

 

Stockholders can send direct communications to our Chief Executive Officer at our executive offices. However, while we appreciate all comments from stockholders, we may not be able to individually respond to all communications. We attempt to address stockholder questions and concerns in our press releases and documents filed with the SEC so that all stockholders have access to information about us at the same time. Mr. Mohan collects and evaluates all stockholder communications. All communications addressed to our directors and executive officers will be reviewed by those parties unless the communication is clearly frivolous.

 

25 
 

Director Independence

 

We currently do not have any directors that 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 exist 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 director with regard to his or her business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to the Company and our management.

 

Committees

 

We do not currently have an audit, compensation or nominating committee. The Board of Directors as a whole currently acts as our audit, compensation and nominating committees. We intend to establish an audit, compensation and nominating committee of our Board of Directors once we expand the Board of Directors to include one or more independent directors and intend to adopt a charter for each committee.

 

Our audit committee will be primarily responsible for reviewing the services performed by our independent auditors, evaluating our accounting policies and our system of internal controls. Our compensation committee will assist the Board in reviewing and approving the compensation structure, including all forms of compensation, relating to our directors and executive officers and periodically reviewing and approving any long-term incentive compensation or equity plans, programs or similar arrangements. Our nominating committee will assist the Board in selecting individuals qualified to become our directors and in determining the composition of the Board and our committees.

Goodwill is not amortized, but it is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. The Company’s impairment test is based on a single operating unit or reporting unit structure. The goodwill impairment test involves two step processes. The first step involves comparing the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the test is performed by comparing the carrying value of the goodwill in the reporting unit to its implied fair value. An impairment charge is recognized for the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over its implied fair value.

l. Income Taxes

The major tax jurisdictions for the Company are United States of America and India. The Company offsets current tax assets and current tax liabilities, where it has legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and where it intends either to settle on a net basis.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, operating loss carry forwards and tax credits. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance for a deferred tax asset is recorded when management believes that it is more likely than not that this tax asset will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Statements of Income in the period of change.

 

The Company accounts for interest and penalties related to income taxes in the statement of income as part of income taxes.

 

m. Employee benefits

Provident fund (defined contribution plan)

In accordance with Indian law, all employees are entitled to receive benefits under the provident fund scheme, which is a defined contribution plan. Both the employee and the employer make monthly contributions to the plan at a predetermined rate (presently 12%) of the employees' basic salary. The Company has no further obligations under the plan beyond its monthly contributions. These contributions are made to fund administered and managed by the Government of India. The monthly contributions are charged to the statement of income in the year they are incurred.

 

Employees state insurance fund (defined contribution plan)

In addition to the above benefit, all employees who are drawing gross salary of less than Rs. 15,000 per month are entitled to receive benefit under employee state insurance fund scheme. The employer makes contribution to the scheme at a predetermined rate (presently 4.75%) of employee's gross salary to the ESI Corporation.  There are no further obligations under the scheme beyond its monthly contributions. The monthly contributions are charged to the statement of income in the year they are incurred.

Gratuity plan (defined benefit plan)

 

In addition to the above benefits, the Company provides for a gratuity obligation, a defined benefit retirement plan (the "Gratuity Plan") covering all its employees in India. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees at retirement or termination of employment based on the respective employee's salary, and the years of employment with the Company. The Company provides for the Gratuity Plan on the basis of actuarial valuation. This defined benefit plan is unfunded as on the date of these financial statements. Net periodic gratuity cost is recorded in the Statements of Income and includes service cost, interest cost and actuarial gains/losses.

 

n. Revenue recognition

Revenue from services is recognized over the period the service is contracted to be rendered. Advance amounts received from customers against billings for the period of service yet to be rendered on time proportion basis is disclosed as 'unearned revenues'.

 

Revenue from products is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer.

 

All revenues are recognized only when collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured, and are reported net of discounts and service taxes.

 

o. Revenues and costs - filmed entertainment

Television series are initially produced for a specific television network and may be subsequently licensed for foreign or domestic telecast. The Company has entered into telecast rights transactions for the television series it produces. Revenues from distribution or exploitation of the television series are recognised as revenues when (i) an arrangement has been signed with a customer; (ii) the customer’s right to use or otherwise exploit the intellectual property has commenced and there is no requirement for significant continued performance by the Company; (iii) arrangement fees are either fixed or determinable and (iv) collectability of the fees is reasonably assured.

 

Film costs include the unamortized cost of completed television episodes and television series in production. Film costs are stated at the lower of cost, less accumulated amortization, or fair value. The amount of capitalized film costs for a given period is determined using the individual film-forecast-computation method. Under this method, the amortization of capitalized costs is based on the proportion of the film’s actual revenues recognized for such period to the film’s estimated remaining unrecognized ultimate revenues. All exploitation costs of the Company are expensed as incurred.

 

With respect to the "Kalyanamalai" television series, the fair value of the film (after considering estimated future exploitation costs) is less than its unamortized film costs and hence, the Company has written off to the income statement the amount by which the unamortized capitalized costs exceed the fair value.

 

Revenues earned from and costs incurred in production of the television series have been presented under the heads 'matrimonial service income' and 'matrimonial service expense' in the financial statements.

p. Leasing agreements

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the assets are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the statements of income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

q. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

 

Diluted earnings per share are computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period except where the results will be anti-dilutive.

 

r. Accounting for contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date of these financial statements which may further result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Management of the Company makes an assessment of such contingent liabilities which is based on assumptions and is a matter of opinion. In assessing loss contingencies relating to legal or tax proceedings that involve the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company, after consultation with legal or tax advisors, evaluates the perceived merits of any legal or tax proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability is accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be disclosed. However, in some instances in which disclosure is not otherwise required, the Company may disclose contingent liabilities or other uncertainties of an unusual nature which, in the judgment of management after consultation with its legal or tax counsel, may be of interest to shareholders or others.
