ZD Ventures Corporation

Three months ended June 30, 2016


NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


(A) Business Description


ZD Ventures Corporation (the “Company”), incorporated on February 23, 2005 under the laws of the state of Nevada, operates from Barcelona, Spain. Most of the activities of the Company to date relate to its organization, funding, and seeking business opportunities in the emerging technologies.


The Company has not yet been able to conclude satisfactorily on several business negotiations. The management continues its efforts in reviewing business opportunities that will meet its criteria.


(B) Basis of Presentation


The unaudited interim financial statements as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2016 have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. These financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) necessary to present fairly the balance sheets, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted in accordance with the SEC’s rules and regulations for interim reporting.


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 March 31, 2016. The significant accounting policies followed are same as those detailed in the said Annual Report.


(C) Use of Estimates


The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statement of financial position and revenues and expenses for the year then ended. Actual results may differ significantly from those estimates.


NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN


The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.


In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.






F-5



ZD Ventures Corporation

Three months ended June 30, 2016


NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.  As of June 30, 2016, the Company has an accumulated deficit amount of approximately $3,264,005.


NOTE 3 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40)-Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 provides guidance to United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is a substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Specifically, ASU 2014-15 (1) defines the term substantial doubt, (2) requires an evaluation of every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provides principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plan, (4) requires certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) requires an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) requires an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those reporting periods. Earlier adoption is permitted. This ASU is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements and notes to the financial statements.


In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This ASU is the result of a convergence project between the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board. The core principle behind ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for delivering those goods and services. This model involves a five-step process that includes identifying the contract with the customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction prices to the performance obligations in the contract and recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies the performance obligations. The guidance in the ASU supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early application not permitted. The ASU allows two methods of adoption; a full retrospective approach where three years of financial information are presented in accordance with the new standard, and a modified retrospective approach where the ASU is applied as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The company will evaluate the impact of adopting the new standard once it begins generating revenue.


In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest. ASU No. 2015-03 changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under the new guidance, an entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. This guidance is effective beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 and early adoption is permitted in an interim period with any adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The company does not believe the guidance will result in a material impact to its financial statements.


In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-17, "Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes" ("ASU 2015-17"), which will require entities to present all deferred tax liabilities and assets as noncurrent on the balance sheet instead of separating deferred taxes into current and noncurrent amounts. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early application is permitted. The standard can be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. This ASU is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements and notes to the financial statements.



F-6



ZD Ventures Corporation

Three months ended June 30, 2016


NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial assets and liabilities.  This ASU will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019.  The Company is evaluating the effects of the adoption of this ASU to its financial statements.


In March 2016, the FASB issued an update (ASU 2016-09) to the standard on Compensation-Stock Compensation, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for any entity in any interim or annual period. Upon adoption, entities will be required to apply a modified retrospective, prospective or retrospective transition method depending on the specific section of the guidance being adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the update will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.


The Company evaluates new pronouncements as issued and evaluates the effect of adoption on the Company at the time. The Company has determined that the adoption of recently adopted accounting pronouncements will not have an impact on the financial statements.

The Company has no subsidiaries. The Company has no formal lease commitments. Its operations are handled by the CEO from his residence in Barcelona, Spain but its administrative matters are handled  from the Toronto office of Current Capital Corp.,at 47 Avenue Road, Suite 200, Toronto, ON M5R  2G3 Canada. Current Capital Corp. is owned by one of the shareholders related to the CEO. Our telephone number is (416) 840-0211. Our fiscal year end is March 31.


The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes of the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and the audited financial statements and notes for the year ended March 31, 2016.


Business Plan and Strategy

 

ZDV’s business strategy until March 2015 involved developing a social website, B’ Wished, however, at the end of March 31, 2015, the Management concluded that this was not a commercially viable business and decided to expense all the costs related to this project.  The Company continues to review new business opportunities but has been unable to successfully negotiate any closure on any of these deals and is currently continuing its efforts at finding a suitable business proposal that would meet with its business model and attract the investors.  


Results of operations


The Company did not have any operating income since its inception on February 23, 2005 through June 30, 2016. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recognized a net loss of $17,605 compared to net loss of $55,392 for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

 

Overall operating expenses declined significantly during the 2017 fiscal quarter compared to 2016 fiscal quarter. During the 2016 fiscal quarter, the Company incurred significant interest cost of approximately $22,000 compared to interest of $559 charged during the fiscal quarter 2017. There were travel costs incurred of $6,155 in the fiscal quarter 2016 compared to nil during the fiscal quarter 2017.


Professional Fees


Professional fees for the three months ended June 30, 2016 were $ 1,100 compared to $6,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The fees for the three months ended June 30, 2015 included audit fee for the annual audit for fiscal 2015. Similar fee for fiscal 2016 was however accrued and accounted for in that fiscal year and so fee for the three months ended |March 31, 2016 included only the review cost for this quarter.


Consulting fees


Consulting fee for the three months to June 30, 2016 includes accrual of $6,250 fee for the CEO based on an annual estimate of $ 25,000 and $ 7,000 fee charged by a shareholder holding over 5% equity.




5



Fee of $ 6,000 was charged by the ex-CFO and no fee was charged by the CEO during the three months ended June 30, 2015. Approximately $ 14,500 was charged by three other consultants. These consultants are not currently providing any services. $ 15,000 fee for the previous quarter charged by CEO was forgiven and as a result was reversed to additional paid in capital.


General and administrative expenses


General and administrative costs for the three months ended June 30, 2016 included regulatory filing fee of $ 500 and transfer agent’s fee of $ 795.


These costs for the three months ended June 30, 2015 include furniture written off of $4,673 due to closure of Barcelona office, reversal of fee of $ 2,800 previously provided for annual renewal of the Company’s membership to hedge fund which the management decided to cancel effective January 1, 2015, reversal of fee charged by Current Capital Corp for investor relations of $ 6,000 in the previous period, which CCC decided to forgive and agreed for cancelation of their contract without any further charges.


Interest Expense


During the three months ended June 30, 2016, there was only one loan of $ 8,000 outstanding and interest cost thereon was 559.


Interest expense for the three-month period ended June 30, 2015 totalled $21,954, and included interest of $2,552 relating to three convertible loans and amortization of convertible feature of these loans of $19,402.


Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources


For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company generated a negative cash flow from operations of approximately $800 (three months to June 30, 2015: negative cash flow of $25,767) , which was primarily met from existing cash. In absence of any potential revenue in the near future, the Company will continue to be dependent upon its shareholders and associates to fund its cash requirements.

 

Our present material commitments are professional and administrative fees and expenses associated with the preparation of our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and other regulatory requirements


As of June 30, 2016, the Company had cash of $7,846 (as at March 31, 2016:  $8,488). The Company's total assets decreased marginally from $9,071 as at March 31, 2016 to $8,254 as at June 30, 2016. Total liabilities also reduced from $123,052 as of March 31, 2016 to $112,681 as of June 30, 2016, mainly due to conversion of convertible debt by $ 20,000, partly offs et by increase in the accruals.


The Company is seeking to raise capital to implement the Company's business strategy.  In the event additional capital is not raised or alternatively debt financing is not available from our shareholders, the Company may seek a merger or outright sale.


Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. We have an accumulated deficit of approximately $ 3.3 million. The Company realized a net loss from operations of $17,046 and $33,438, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company continued to secure additional convertible loans and is currently negotiating with others to raise equity funding needed. However, there is no guarantee that such negotiations will success or result in the availability of the required funding. Particularly, if the Company is unable to negotiate a viable business, it may fail to attract further funding.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

Off-balance sheet arrangements


The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect or change on the Company’s financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.


Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk


As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.


Item 4 - Controls and Procedures


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management which currently basically comprises our Chief Executive and Financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive and  financial officer concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive  and financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


Our management, including chief executive and financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, management’s evaluation of controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within ZD Ventures Corporation have been detected.


Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


Our CEO is the only executive acting as CEO, CFO and corporate secretary and is the sole director.  The Company does not consider hiring any other staff at this stage cost effective. Thus, our CEO would continue to be controlling all aspects of the Company’s affairs on a part time basis.  These changes  are reasonably likely to materially affect, adversely,  our internal control over financial reporting.
