NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the six months ended June 30, 2016

Unaudited

 

Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they may not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations or cash flows. It is management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation.

 

The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Nature of Operations

 

The Virtual Learning Company, Inc. (“Virtual Learning”) was incorporated on January 6, 2009 as a Nevada corporation with 75,000,000 shares of capital stock authorized, of which 70,000,000 shares are common shares ($.001 par value), and 5,000,000 shares are preferred shares ($.001 par value).

 

Virtual Learning is a subscription based software as a service (“SaaS”) provider of education products. Virtual Learning provides standards-based instruction, practice, assessments, and productivity tools that improve the performance of educators and students via proprietary web-based platforms at www.mathisbasic.com, www.scienceisbasic.com and www.readingisbasic.com.

 

Virtual Learning is also a producer of a series of practice workbooks published on CD, DVD formatted disc and USB Drives and in the ePub format which has been sold through Barnes and Noble’s Nook and Amazon’s Kindle commencing in 2012.

 

Basis of Presentation/Going Concern

 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These standards contemplate continuation of Virtual Learning as a going concern.

 

 

As of June 30, 2016, Virtual Learning had $893 cash and negative working capital of $97,909. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, Virtual Learning had revenues of $2,579 and $55, respectively, and sustained net losses of $31,236 and $110,843, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about Virtual Learning’s ability to continue as a going concern. Virtual Learning has also unamortized capitalized stock-based and contributed curriculum development costs of $35,934 as of June 30, 2016. The recovery of these asset costs and continuation of future operations will be dependent upon Virtual Learning’s ability to obtain additional debt or equity capital and its ability to generate revenues sufficient to continue pursuit of its business purposes. Virtual Learning is actively seeking financing to fund future operations.

 

Virtual Learning is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other development stage enterprises. These risks include, but are not limited to, rapid technological change, dependence on key personnel, competing new product introductions and other activities of competitors, the successful development and marketing of its products, and the need to obtain adequate additional capital necessary to fund future operations.

 

There is no assurance that Virtual Learning can reverse its operating losses, or that it can raise additional capital to allow it to continue its planned future operations. These factors raise additional substantial doubt about Virtual Learning’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of recorded asset amounts that might be necessary from an unfavorable resolution of this uncertainty.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is presented at stated value upon contribution or at the cost of acquisition. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of five years. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred, and renewals and betterments are capitalized.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles .generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

 

On an ongoing basis, Virtual Learning’s management evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, the need for an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, the need for recognition of an impairment allowance for capitalized curriculum development costs, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, deemed value of common stock for the purpose of determining stock-based compensation, and income taxes, among others. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.

 

 

Virtual Learning’s management (board of directors) determines the value assigned to shares of common stock in the absence of a public market for these shares.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value is defined as the price that we would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. In determining fair value, GAAP establishes a three-level hierarchy used in measuring fair value, as follows:

 

● Level 1 inputs are quoted prices available for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

 

● Level 2 inputs are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

● Level 3 inputs are less observable and reflect our own assumptions.

 

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses and convertible notes payable and accrued interest. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value because of their short maturities. The carrying value of the convertible notes payable and accrued interest approximates fair value based on the value of comparable financial instruments with similar terms. We may adjust the carrying amount of certain nonfinancial assets to fair value on a non-recurring basis when they are impaired. No such adjustments were made for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

 

Capitalized Curriculum Development Costs

 

Virtual Learning internally develops curriculum, which is primarily provided as web content and accessed via the Internet. Virtual Learning also creates textbooks and other offline materials.

 

Virtual Learning capitalizes curriculum development costs incurred during the application development stage in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles provide guidance for the treatment of costs associated with computer software development and defines those costs to be capitalized and those to be expensed. Costs that qualify for capitalization are external direct costs, payroll, and payroll-related expenses. Costs related to general and administrative functions are not capitalized and are expensed as incurred. Virtual Learning capitalizes curriculum development costs when the projects under development reach technological feasibility. Many of our new courses are leveraged off proven delivery platforms and are primarily content, which has no technological hurdles. As a result, a significant portion of our courseware development costs qualify for capitalization due to the concentration of our development efforts on the content of the courseware.

 

Technological feasibility is established when we have completed all planning, designing, coding, and testing activities necessary to establish that a course can be produced to meet its design specifications. Capitalization ends when a course is available for general release to our customers, at which time amortization of the capitalized costs begins. The period of time over which these development costs will be amortized is generally five years. This is consistent with the capitalization period used by others in our industry and corresponds with our product development lifecycle.

 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

All liquid investments with stated maturities of three months or less from date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents; all liquid investments with stated maturities of greater than three months are classified as short-term investments.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized when all of the following conditions are satisfied: there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the customer has access to full use of the product, the collection of the fees is reasonably assured, and the amount of the fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable.

 

Revenue generated from the Company’s subscription based learning service will be recognized when all of the following conditions are satisfied: there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the customer has access to full use of the product, the collection of the fees is reasonably assured, and the amount of the fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable.

 

Revenue from customer subscriptions will be recognized ratably over the subscription term beginning on the commencement date of each subscription. The average subscription term is twelve (12) months for our products, and all subscriptions are on a non-cancelable basis. When additional months are offered as a promotional incentive, those months are part of the subscription term. As part of their subscriptions, customers generally benefit from new features and functionality with each release at no additional cost.

 

Although our membership contracts are generally non-cancelable, customers have the right to cancel their contracts by providing prior written notice to us of their intent to cancel the remainder of the contract term. In the event a customer cancels their contract, they are not entitled to a refund for prior services we have provided to them.

 

Customer support is provided to customers following the sale at no additional charge and at a minimal cost per call.

 

Virtual Learning does not incur significant up-front costs related to providing its products and services and therefore does not defer any expenses.

 

Revenue from the sale of CD’s or DVD’s and other materials is recognized when shipped or available to the customer in a downloadable format.

 

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company reported consulting revenues in the amount of $ 2,558 from an affiliate of an entity that has loaned the Company $25,000.

 

Income Taxes

 

Virtual Learning accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes. 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the provision for income tax in the statements of operations. Virtual Learning evaluates the probability of realizing the future benefits of its deferred tax assets and provides a valuation allowance when realization of the assets is not reasonably assured.

 

Virtual Learning recognizes in its financial statements the impact of tax positions that meet a “more likely than not” threshold, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

 

Basic net income (basic net loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

 

Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the 308,115 and 270,580 shares of common stock underlying the $61,623 and $54,116 balances of convertible notes payable and accrued interest at June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted shares outstanding as their inclusion would be antidilutive.

 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” Topic 606). The purpose of this ASU is to converge revenue recognition requirements per GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption not permitted by the FASB; however, in August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date after public comment respondents supported a proposal to delay the effective date of this ASU to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Business Combinations: Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments,” which requires acquirers to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts identified during the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. Acquirers should record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. Application of the standard, which should be applied prospectively, is required for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. We do not believe that adoption has had or will have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. The core principle of the standard is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. A lessee should recognize in its statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. We will be required to adopt the new standard in the first quarter of 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact this new standard will have on our financial statements.

 

Certain other accounting pronouncements have been issued by the FASB and other standard setting organizations which are not yet effective and therefore have not yet been adopted by the Company. The impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations from adoption of these standards is not expected to be material.

Property and equipment is summarized as follows:

 

		June 30, 2016				December 31, 2015
Office equipment		$	4,155			$	4,155
Less: Accumulated depreciation			(4,155	)			(4,155	)
Property and Equipment- net		$	-			$	-

 

Depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $-0- and $-0-, respectively.

 

3 - Capitalized Curriculum Development Costs

 

Capitalized curriculum development costs is summarized as follows:

 

		June 30, 2016				December 31, 2015
Common stock issued to individuals for services relating to curriculum development		$	110,000			$	110,000
Contributed services of Thomas Monahan, Former President of Virtual Learning, relating to curriculum development			44,000				44,000

Less accumulated amortization			(118,066	)			(102,666	)
Net		$	35,934			$	51,334

 

 

As described in Note 1 above, amortization of the capitalized curriculum development costs begins when the courses become available for sale to customers (which occurred in September 2012).

 

Virtual Learning tests for impairment annually. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company’s estimates of future undiscounted cash flows from the courses exceeded the carrying amounts of the capitalized curriculum development costs ($35,934 and $51,334, respectively) and therefore no impairment was recognized.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, additions to Capitalized Curriculum Development Costs were $-0- and $-0-, respectively.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, amortization of Capitalized Curriculum Development Costs were $15,400 and $16,400, respectively.

 

At June 30, 2016, expected future amortization expense of Capitalized Curriculum Development Costs follows:

 

Year ending December 31,		Amount
2016		$	15,400
2017		$	20,534
Total		$	35,934

The liability is non-interest bearing and due on demand.

 

5 - Convertible Promissory Notes-Net

 

Convertible Notes Payable-net is summarized as follows:

 

		June 30, 2016				December 31, 2015

Accrued interest			11,623				7,872
Total			61,623				57,872
Less unamortized debt discounts			-				(4,166	)
Net		$	61,623			$	53,706

 

As further consideration for making the loans, Virtual Learning issued an aggregate of 250,000 shares of common stock to the six lenders. The $50,000 estimated fair value of the 250,000 shares was recorded as debt discounts and was amortized over the one year term of the respective notes.

 

As of June 30, 2016, the $50,000 of Notes issued and the $ 11,623 accrued interest thereon were past due and in default.

 

 

6 - Common Stock Issuances

 

In January 2015, Virtual Learning issued a total of 200,000 shares of common stock to four noteholders in connection with their loans totaling $40,000 (see Note 5). The 200,000 shares were valued at $40,000 (or $.20 per share), which amount was charged to debt discounts in the three months ended March 31, 2015.

 

In February 2015, Virtual Learning issued 200,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Roger Fidler for legal services. The 200,000 shares were valued at $40,000 (or $.20 per share), which amount was expensed in the three months ended March 31, 2015.

 

In June 2015 Virtual Learning sold a total of 2,100 shares of common stock to three individuals at a price of $.50 per share for proceeds of $1,050.

 

In June 2015, Virtual Learning issued a total of 50,000 shares of common stock to two individuals in connection with their loans totaling $10,000 (see Note 5).

In July 2015, Virtual Learning sold 100 shares of common stock to one individual at a price of $.50 per share for proceeds of $50.

 

Virtual Learning’s management (board of directors) determines the value assigned to shares of common stock issued in non-cash transactions in the absence of a public market for these shares.

 

7 - Income Taxes

 

The provisions for (benefit from) income taxes differ from the amounts computed by applying the statutory United States Federal income tax rate of 35% to income (loss) before income taxes.

 

The sources of the differences follow:

 

		Six months ended				Six months ended
		June 30, 2016				June 30, 2015
Expected tax at 35%		$	(10,932	)		$	(38,795	)

		June 30, 2016				December 31, 2015
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carry forward		$	45,520			$	41,436
Valuation allowance			(45,520	)			(41,436	)
Net deferred tax asset		$	-			$	-

 

Based on management’s present assessment, the Company has not yet determined it to be more likely than not that a deferred tax asset of $45,520 attributable to the future utilization of $130,059 of net operating loss carryforwards will be realized. Accordingly, the Company has maintained a 100% allowance against the deferred tax asset in the financial statements at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The Company will continue to review this valuation allowance and make adjustments as appropriate. The net operating loss carryforwards expire $672 in year 2029, $9,236 in year 2030, $41,526 in year 2031, $5,440 in year 2032, $1,840 in the year 2033, $17,025 in the year 2034, $42,650 in the year 2035, and $11,670 in the year 2036.

 

Current United States income tax law limits the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited.

 

The Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). This Interpretation clarifies accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. FIN 48 establishes guidelines for recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company has not made any adjustments, and there is no impact, as a result of the adoption of this interpretation. The Company reports interest and penalties associated with its tax positions, if any, as interest expense.

 

 

8 - Commitments and Contingencies

 

In March 2009, Virtual Learning entered into an agreement for curriculum development with one individual for services in video production and the design of high school and college level math courses. The agreement provides for the payment of 5% royalties on net revenues up to $1,000,000 and a 5% royalty on net revenues in excess of $1,000,000 on projects in which he directly participated and has made material contributions.

 

In May 2010, the agreement with this individual was superseded by an updated agreement under similar terms and conditions.

 

9 - Trademark Cancelled

 

In March 2014, the Company’s Learning is Basic trademark was cancelled by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The Company continues to use its Shapeville USA trademark and other URL’s that the Company owns such as Math is Basic, Science is Basic and Reading is Basic to identify its educational software products.

 

10 - Subsequent Events

 

In July 2016, Athena Monahan (wife of the Company’s former president Thomas P. Monahan who died April 4, 2016) sold 7,000,000 of the 10,000,000 Virtual Learning shares she owned to Mr. Vincent Simonelli. Mr. Simonelli controls the business entity that loaned $25,000 to the Company in 2015 (see Note 5).

 

Effective July 20, 2016, Mr. Simonelli was appointed to fill one of the two empty seats on the Board of Directors by unanimous vote of the previous sole director, Roger Fidler. Mr. Simonelli was also engaged as the President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company.

 

 

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

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other written reports and oral statements made from time to time by the Company may contain so-called “forward-looking statements,” all of which are subject to risks and uncertainties. One can identify these forward-looking statements by their use of words such as “expect,” “plan,” “will,” “may,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “should,” “intend,” “forecast,” “project” the negative or plural of these words, and other comparable terminology. One can identify them by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements are likely to address the Company’s growth strategy, financial results and product and development programs. One must carefully consider any such statement and should understand that many factors could cause actual results to differ from the Company’s forward-looking statements. These factors may include inaccurate assumptions and a broad variety of other risks and uncertainties, including some that are known and some that are not. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual future results may vary materially. The Company does not assume the obligation to update any forward-looking statement. One should carefully evaluate such statements in light of factors described in the Company’s filings with the SEC, especially the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. In various filings the Company has identified important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expected or historic results. One should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, the reader should not consider any such list to be a complete list of all potential risks or uncertainties.

 

Use of Terms

 

The following discussion analyzes our financial condition and results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Unless the context indicates or suggests otherwise, reference to “we”, “our”, “us” and the “Company” in this section refers to the operations of The Virtual Learning Company,

 

PLAN OF OPERATION

 

Overview

 

Virtual Learning was formed as a Nevada corporation on January 6, 2009. We are a subscription-based, software-as-a-service provider of education products who at the present time is making our math courses available to all students free of charge, grades First through college level calculus, as an incentive to utilize our www.mathisbasic.com website. Ideally students will return often to improve their knowledge and make use of test and practice sessions.

 

Virtual Learning provides instruction, practice, and assessments that improve the performance of students via proprietary web-based platforms through our website on the World Wide Web with the URL www.mathisbasic.com.

 

 

Virtual Learning is also a producer and distributor of computer software and video educational materials on CD and DVD formatted disks and in a textbook ePub format, which will be available through various distributors and our website either as a download or in boxed format. We have combined rigorous content in math with interactive features and games that engage students, reinforce, and reward learning achievement.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we have been involved with converting our website and the platform by which we present our educational software on our website from Adobe Flash to WordPress. The completion of this effort will allow us to present our website on a multiple of devices including but not limited to Apple products and expand our ability to display our programs and products over various Android based mobile computer systems. This is an ongoing process.

 

The Company has one curriculum development contract with Lawrence William Kazmierczak, a professor of mathematics that requires the Company to pay him to author courses in Pre-Calculus, Calculus I, and II, and to consult on the creation of high school level math courses. This Agreement provides for Professor Kazmierczak to receive 5% royalties on the Company’s net revenues up to one million dollars of net revenues, and 5% royalty on net revenues beyond one million dollars on projects in which he directly participates and has made material contributions. In addition, he has received 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. We determine what projects in which he has directly participated and made material contributions by our internal record keeping as to time devoted to each project. We determine the revenue attributed to those projects by monitoring devices that allow us to determine which authorized user has devoted how much time to which module and then comparing the same to the entire revenue stream.

 

Events and Uncertainties critical to our business

 

Demand for our products and services is affected by the general economic conditions in the United States. When economic conditions are favorable and discretionary income increases, purchases of non-essential items like software generally increase. When economic conditions are less favorable, sales of non-essential educational items are generally lower. In addition, we may experience more competitive pricing pressures during economic downturns. Therefore, any significant economic downturn or any future changes in consumer spending habits could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate sufficient sales to make our operations profitable. We may continue to have little or no sales and continue to sustain losses in the future. If we continue to sustain losses, we will be forced to curtail our operations and go out of business. Our success depends in a large part in our ability to create additional product lines sufficient to create a catalog of programs to offer allowing us to implement a successful marketing and sales plan. While we are currently seeking to hire additional computer programmers and educators to consult with as to program accuracy and content there is no guarantee that these efforts will result in any substantial sales. Because of the lack of funding, we are unable to hire a dedicated programming and research consulting team who will devote their efforts to helping us design and create new programs of high quality in a timely manner.

 

 

If we are able to obtain sufficient funding to become operational, there is no guarantee that we will be able to find personnel who will be able to work closely with the Company to help design and create new lines of product or to process orders, including special orders, made via the internet.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – THE VIRTUAL LEARNING COMPANY, INC.

 

The summary below should be referenced in connection with a review of the following discussion of our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

We were a development stage enterprise formed to market a unique line of educational software, including audio-visual textbooks and online content through our website with the registered domain name of mathisbasic.com. The lack of working capital hampered operations in both 2016 and 2015.

 

Management has taken substantial time in the development and programming of our virtual textbooks and related materials and thought was spent in updating our website. The measure of our success in the future will depend on our ability to navigate through a treacherous macroeconomic environment and challenging market conditions, execute our strategic vision, including attracting and retaining the management talent necessary for such execution, designing and delivering products that are acceptable to the marketplaces that we serve, sourcing the manufacture and distribution of our products on a competitive and optimal basis and focusing our retail capabilities.

 

Results of Operations - Comparison for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

 

Revenues

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, revenues were $2,579 and $55, respectively. The $2,579 in revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2016, includes consulting fees of $2,558 from an affiliate of an entity that has loaned the Company $25,000.

 

Cost of Sales

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, cost of sales were none. Since our sales of $21 and $55, respectively, were through Amazon’s Kindle and Barnes and Noble’s Nook and delivery of the product was made in an electronic format there were no cost of sales attached to the product.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses decreased $57,672 from $83,571 in 2015 to $25,899 in 2016. The decrease is partly attributable to a decrease of $16,672 in selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

Also, there was no issuance of common stock for services as compared to $40,000 in 2015.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our cash balance was $893 and $2,298, respectively, total assets were $36,827 and $53,632, respectively, and total current liabilities amounted to $98,802 and $84,371, respectively, including officer loans payable of $11,525 and $14,525, respectively. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the total stockholders’ deficit was $61,975 and $30,739, respectively. We may seek additional capital to fund potential costs associated with expansion and/or acquisitions.

 

 

Going Concern Uncertainty

 

In its report dated May 6, 2016, our independent auditor stated that our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is an issue raised as a result of recurring losses from operations and cash flow deficiencies since our inception. We continue to experience net losses. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to generate a profit and/or obtain necessary funding from outside sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities, increasing sales or obtaining loans and grants from various financial institutions where possible. In light of our financial position, we may be unable to raise working capital sufficient to continue to fund the operations of the business. Our management has currently been advancing funds to the Company to help sustain its operations on a non-interest bearing and unsecured basis. We believe that it will be difficult to raise additional funds and there can be no assurance as to the availability of additional financing or the terms upon which additional financing may be available. In addition, the going concern explanatory paragraph included in our auditor’s report on our financial statements could inhibit our ability to enter into strategic alliances or other collaborations or our ability to raise additional financing. If we are unable to obtain such additional capital, we will not be able to sustain our operations and would be required to cease our operations and/or seek bankruptcy protection. Even if we do raise sufficient capital and generate revenues to support our operating expenses, there can be no assurance that the revenue will be sufficient to enable us to develop our business to a level where it will generate profits and cash flows from operations. In addition, if we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders could be significantly diluted.

 

We believe that future funding may be obtained from public or private offerings of equity securities, debt or convertible debt securities or other sources. Stockholders should assume that any additional funding will likely be dilutive. Accordingly, our officers, directors, and other affiliates are not legally bound to provide funding to us. Because of our limited operations, if our officers and directors do not pay for our expenses, we will be forced to obtain funding. We currently do not have any arrangements to obtain additional financing from other sources. In view of our limited operating history, our ability to obtain additional funds is limited. Additional financing may only be available, if at all, upon terms which may not be commercially advantageous to us.

 

Inflation

 

The impact of inflation on the costs of our company, and the ability to pass on cost increases to its subscribers over time is dependent upon market conditions. We are not aware of any inflationary pressures that have had any significant impact on our operations since inception, and we do not anticipate that inflationary factors will have a significant impact on future operations.

 

 

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

We do not maintain off-balance sheet arrangements nor do we participate in non-exchange traded contracts requiring fair value accounting treatment.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company has adopted and maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-Q, is collected, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As required under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15, the Company’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s President concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s President, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
