Overview
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).
Until recently, Virtual Learning has been solely 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.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 have been offered for sale through Barnes and Noble’s Nook and Amazon’s Kindle since 2012.
Virtual Learning Company Inc. formed a new division in early October of 2016 to produce and market webinars to take advantage of the Company’s extensive library of educational software, as well as the instructional construction and renovation content that was recently acquired.”
Newly Acquired Construction Business
On August 19, 2016, Virtual Learning acquired 4.5% of Dream Homes,Ltd. (“DHL”), 100% of Dream Building, LLC (“DBL”) , a wholly owned subsidiary of DHL, and use of all construction licensing and registrations held by Atlantic Northeast Construction LLC (“ANCL”), a wholly owned subsidiary of DHL, in exchange for the issuance of 2,225,000 shares of Virtual Learning common stock to DHL at an agreed price of $.05 per common share.
The majority stockholder and chief executive officer of DHL is also the controlling stockholder and chief executive officer of Virtual Learning. As Virtual Learning and DHL were entities under common control, the acquired assets were reflected by Virtual Learning at DHL’s $0 carrying amount on the date of transfer pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-50-30-5.
From August 19, 2016 to August 23, 2016, Virtual Learning acquired the rights to complete 6 in process construction contracts of ANCL in exchange for the issuance of 2,287,367 shares of Virtual Learning common stock to DHL at an agreed price of $.05 per common share for those ANCL contracts. As Virtual Learning and DHL were entities under common control, the acquired rights were reflected at DHL’s $0 carrying amount on the date of transfer pursuant to ASC 805-50-30-5.

Recent Developments
Virtual Learning filed a final 14C with the SEC on 2/22/17 changing the name of the company to Dream Homes & Development Corp. in order to more accurately reflect the changing nature and composition of its business operations.
During the period from July 1, 2016, thru December 31, 2016, the following improvements and additions were made to the Virtual Company:
Our Growth Strategy
In an effort to further expand the Company’s revenue potential beyond that of the information field, as detailed in the above paragraphs, Virtual Learning further invested in a non-related business, through associations with several large shareholders in the company. Virtual recognized that the effects of Super Storm Sandy, which occurred on 10/29/12 would be far reaching and cause an almost unlimited demand for construction information, as well as specific construction services. Due to the damage caused by the storm, as well as the material changes in the FEMA flood maps which now require over 30,000 homeowners along the New Jersey coastline to elevate their homes, Virtual felt that acquiring a company in the construction field would create a stable additional revenue stream for the company. Additionally, through its previous associations and long standing professional relationships with Dream Homes Ltd., Virtual felt that Dream Homes educational division was an excellent fit with the existing platform that Virtual has developed to market educational software and materials.
As such, Virtual Learning acquired for stock a company known as Dream Building LLC, which will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Virtual Learning and pursue opportunities in the real estate field, specifically in new home construction, home elevations and renovations. As part of this effort, through the end of 2016, Virtual, through its Dream Building subsidiary, acquired the rights to complete 17 single family construction, renovation and home elevation projects in the central NJ region, which it will build to completion. The approximate contract amount of these projects as of December 31, 2016 is $2,438,603.
In addition to the above projects, which are in process, Dream Building LLC has also estimated an additional $5,300,000 worth of residential construction projects and added over 200 active prospects to its data base. All of these prospects are prime candidates for educational videos and short books on specific construction and rebuilding topics, as well as candidates for rebuilding projects to be built under the Dream Building LLC division.
Management anticipates steady growth in this division of the company, since the rebuilding process will occur over the next 15-20 years, and have a market value of $3,400,000,000. The company anticipates being able to efficiently address 5% - 10% of this market.

Our Competitive Strengths
Among other core strengths, we believe that the “Dream Homes Nearly Famous Rebuilding Seminar”, as well as the informational blog known as the “Dream Homes Rebuilding Blog” are several of our key competitive advantages. At this time, there are no other building and development companies which offer these services to the public.
Among the other assets that Virtual acquired with Dream Builders LLC, were the rights to operate the educational construction seminar known as “Dream Homes Nearly Famous Rebuilding Seminar”, as well as the informational blog known as the “Dream Homes Rebuilding Blog.”
The Nearly Famous Rebuilding Seminar is held bi-monthly, and is a powerful educational tool for homeowners who need of rebuilding or renovations. This seminar has been presented steadily since early 2013, and is designed to educate and assist homeowners in deciphering the confusion about planning and executing complex residential construction projects. A professional team attends each seminar and presents on a diverse variety of topics, including expert advice from some or all of the following attendant at each seminar: architects, engineers, finance people, attorneys, project managers, elevation professionals and builder/general contractors. The seminar has been extremely successful and very helpful to hundreds of people. In addition, the seminar content offers unlimited potential for marketing short educational videos, as well as single topic books regarding many aspects of construction and renovation. The revenue opportunities for this type of educational real estate product will be greatly enhanced by Virtual’s experience and existing software platforms.
The “Dream Homes Rebuilding Blog” is an educational platform written by Vincent Simonelli, which offers comprehensive advice on all aspects of construction and real estate.
This seminar, as well as the Dream Homes Rebuilding Blog, have been an integral part of the marketing efforts and will continue to be key components in the growth of the educational software and learning material divisions of the company. Currently the blog, which is located at http://blog.dreamhomesltd.com , offers a wide variety of specific knowledge pertaining to construction, development, finance and general real estate matters. Built on a Word Press platform, the Rebuilding Blog is easily searchable by topic and a very useful resource for this demographic. Homeowners who need to build or rebuild are excellent candidates for all manner of educational material. As such, Virtual currently has in development a Nearly Famous Rebuilding after Sandy book, mobile application and numerous single topic publications which specifically explain particular aspects of the rebuilding process.
Common topics for short books and videos will include: Foundation Systems, Wall Treatments, Elevating your Home to Allow for a Basement, Adding a Garage, Waterproofing below the Flood Plain, and Cost/Benefit of Various Improvements.
As part of the acquisition of a percentage of Dream Homes, Virtual Learning also acquired the rights to all new home builder licensing as well as home improvement contractor registrations, which are currently owned by Dream Homes Ltd., as well as its subsidiary Atlantic Northeast Construction LLC.

Properties & other assets
In regard to the category of real estate development, Virtual has acquired a contract for the development and construction of 60 new townhomes in the Ocean County NJ area. This acquisition was made for Virtual stock and occurred in the 4th quarter of 2016. This development project is scheduled to begin in late 2017 or early 2018 and is projected to add approximately $13,000,000 to Virtual’s gross sales, through its Dream Building LLC division.
Finance and credit facilities
Though growth in the educational software, construction, and renovation divisions of the company has been organic to this point, Virtual has secured a line of credit from a private lender for general working capital. This credit line is structured on an on-demand basis, bears an interest rate of 12% APR charged only for funds in use, and is in the amount of $50,000. Though there are no specific uses for this facility at this time, management anticipates that it will be utilized to further expand various aspects of the company. The lender has indicated willingness to fund future real-estate based investments (such as acquisition of buildable lots, construction of new single family homes and single family home purchases for renovation), on an ongoing basis.
Our Products and Services
In addition to educational software, the Rebuilding Blog and the Rebuilding Seminar, the Company offers the following range of services and products: engineering & structural design, soil studies, architectural and design/build capabilities, construction management services, general contracting of all residential single and multi-family construction, helical and timber pile installation, masonry foundations and concrete work of all varieties, management of home elevation and moving projects and complete finish requirements for all interior construction. In the construction space, the Company offers a full turn key solution, from plan design through certificate of occupancy.
Marketing, Sales and Subscriber Support
One of the Company’s most significant strengths is in social media and digital marketing. Due to the fact that content is being regularly generated through the blog and the seminars, there is a constant stream of new information that is being placed on Facebook, Twitter, the Rebuilding Blog and other media channels. The Company’s Dream Building subsidiary is regularly ranked on the first page in Google searches and is a strong source of new inquiries and recurring business. The Company’s web site can be found at www.dreamhomesltd.com and the blog at http://blog.dreamhomesltd.com .
Concentrations
Currently the concentrations of the Company’s operations fall into 3 broad categories, as follows: Educational software, video and other materials, new construction & development, and renovation/elevation work. It is anticipated that the latter 2 categories will continue to comprise 95% of the Company’s revenue & earnings.

Our Markets
The Company seeks to become a fully integrated real estate company specializing in the elevation and moving of homes, development and sale of approved and improved land, and construction of townhouses, single-family homes and various residential properties located throughout southern New Jersey. Our principal real estate operations are currently conducted in the central & southern part of the State of New Jersey, although it is our intention to expand into additional markets based on market demand. It is our observation that the fundamental value of the land in southern New Jersey, particularly areas affected by Storm Sandy and represented by Ocean, Monmouth, Atlantic, Cape May, is currently at pricing levels which have not been seen in New Jersey for 10 – 15 years.
Because of the reduction in land values in New Jersey to levels that we feel represent attractive investment opportunities, we have the opportunity to offer homes at more competitive and affordable pricing levels. Our ability to offer elevation management, complete renovation, demolition and new construction and full architectural and engineering services gives us the ability to offer all clients a full range of services.
Our initial investment goal is to evaluate each property to determine the best path to take in order to maximize potential return for that particular property. With new construction, our intention is to purchase either fully improved or at least fully approved properties. Fully approved properties includes those having all the entitlements and permits in hand, and as needed, to post performance guarantees and/or file subdivision maps, and/or proceed with infrastructure construction, such as utilities, roads and other site improvements. With new construction, we have adopted this business model to help reduce our exposure to the many risks and costs associated with land development.
From time to time, and as we come across an outstanding investment opportunity in land development priced at a level that justifies the inherent risks and costs associated with land development, the Company may contract for, and will bring through the approval process, various types of raw land. The Company will continue to allocate capital in the pursuit of approvals, since the risk/reward of developmental activity is so great. It should be noted that we do not generally take ownership of the property until the approval process has been completed, but rather control the property through contracts and options. In these instances, if we should fail to obtain approvals for any reason, whether through unsuitability, change of zoning or other factors, our loss shall be limited to the money expended for the approvals to that date. Our planned business model includes the acquisition, construction, and sale of a variety of residential properties, including construction of entry-level and first time move-up single-family and multi-family homes.
| 8 |
In addition to offering traditional stick frame construction of our homes, we may also offer modular and manufactured homes, townhomes and condominiums.
In our opinion, the most effective business model for residential development and construction is to target the largest current and future segment of the home buying market, which appears to be primarily first-time and move-up purchasers, as well as those homeowners forced to move or relocate due to Storm Sandy, another storm related event, or obsolescence of their existing property. According to Zillow (http//www.zillow.com/local-info/NJ-hjome-value/r40/), the optimum size and price range for a starter or first time- move up single family home is 1600 – 2000 square feet and $180,000 - $230,000. Townhomes and condominium preferred size and price range is 1400 – 1800 square feet and $170,000 - $220,000.
In our opinion, the southern New Jersey real estate market represents one of the most attractive real estate investment opportunities, with the greatest opportunity for future appreciation being concentrated in Ocean, Atlantic, Cape May, Monmouth and Middlesex counties. These areas primarily fall within 1-hour driving time, and serve as “bedroom” communities for, the Atlantic City, New York and Philadelphia metropolitan areas. In our opinion, the residential housing demand in this area, particularly in the market segments which we intend to address, enjoys a fundamental support level, based on several factors. These factors include excellent air, rail and road infrastructure, Atlantic City casino and support services, tourism, and a central location between Philadelphia and New York. Additionally, there has been a chronic affordable housing shortage throughout New Jersey and all indication are that condition will continue fot the foreseeable future. This situation plays well into the Company’s strengths, which are focused on entry level or first time move up housing, as well as elevations and renovations of existing damaged homes. Finally, all of these market areas have tremendous growth potential due to the effects of Storm Sandy on the available housing supply.
In addition, historically and according to the NJ Housing Affordability Index (http://www.yourhousefast.com/housing-affor-index.asp) which is currently 126, home ownership is more affordable than renting. In this case, the index being above 100 signifies that a family earning the median income has 26% more income than is necessary to qualify for a mortgage loan on a median-priced home, and therefore housing prices in these areas offer much better value than comparable properties in the North Jersey, New York and Philadelphia areas.
Nationwide, affordability is at an all-time high. According to the National Association of Home Builders, the Housing Opportunity Index (HOI) is at a record level, with 75.9% of all new and existing homes sold in the fourth quarter of 2011 considered to be affordable to families earning the national median income of $64,200. See http://www.nahb.org/news_details.aspx?sectionID-135&newsID-15036 for more detail.
Zillow and the NJ Housing Affordability Index are publicly available at the web citations noted above, are constantly updated, and the Company’s management believes them to be accurate and reliable.

The Purchase of the Shares is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Each prospective Investor is urged to consider carefully the risk factors discussed below, in addition to the risks set forth elsewhere, in determining whether an investment in the Company should be made and is appropriate for them. You should not invest in our common stock unless you can afford to lose your entire investment and you are not dependent on the funds you are investing.
Our Board of Directors contains one independent director.
Our board is composed of three members, Vincent Simonelli, Kathleen Dotoli & Richard Pezzullo. Mr. Simonelli and affiliated companies, current own or control 56.80% of the issued and outstanding common stock shares of Virtual Learning. Kathleen Dotoli is the second board member and an independent director. Mr. Pezzullo is an employee of Virtual, serving as the VP of Information Technology, as well as third member of the board. The NASDAQ is the exchange that we selected in order to determine whether our directors and committee members meet the independence criteria of a national securities exchange, as required by Item 407(a)(1) of Regulation S-K. An independent director means a person who is not an employee (or a relative of an employee), who has no material business relationship with the company, and is not a significant owner of the company’s shares. Due to our small size, the Company does not presently have a separately designated audit committee, compensation committee, or nominating committee.
Our home sales and operating revenues could decline due to macro-economic and other factors outside of our control, such as changes in consumer confidence and declines in employment levels.
Changes in national and regional economic conditions, as well as local economic conditions where we conduct our operations and where prospective purchasers of our homes live, may result in more caution on the part of homebuyers and, consequently, fewer home purchases. These economic uncertainties involve, among other things, conditions of supply and demand in local markets and changes in consumer confidence and income, employment levels, and government regulations. These risks and uncertainties could periodically have an adverse effect on consumer demand for and the pricing of our homes, which could cause our operating revenues to decline. Failure to achieve revenues, or a reduction in our revenues once achieved, could, in turn, negatively affect the market price of our securities. The homebuilding industry is cyclical, has from time to time experienced significant difficulties, and is significantly affected by changes in general and local economic conditions such as:
• employment levels and job growth;
• availability of financing for home buyers;
• interest rates;
• consumer confidence;
• housing demand; and
• population growth.
An oversupply of alternatives to new homes, such as rental properties and used homes could depress prices and reduce margins for the sale of new homes.
| 11 |
Weather conditions and natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, floods and fires can harm the local homebuilding business.
The difficulties described above could cause us to take longer and incur more costs to build our homes. We may not be able to recapture increased costs by raising prices in many cases because we fix our new home prices up to twelve months in advance of delivery by signing home sales contracts. In addition, some home buyers may cancel or not honor their home sales contracts altogether.
A substantial increase in mortgage interest rates or unavailability of mortgage financing may reduce consumer demand for our homes.
Virtually all purchasers of our homes finance their acquisitions through lenders providing mortgage financing. A substantial increase in mortgage interest rates or unavailability of mortgage financing would adversely affect the ability of prospective first time and move-up homebuyers to obtain financing for our homes, as well as adversely affect the ability of prospective move-up homebuyers to sell their current homes. As a result, once we commence sales, our margins, revenues, and cash flows may also be adversely affected.
If we are unsuccessful in competing against our homebuilding competitors, our market share could decline or our growth could be impaired and, as a result, our financial results could suffer.
Competition in the homebuilding industry is intense, and there are relatively low barriers to entry into our business. Increased competition could hurt our business, as it could prevent us from acquiring attractive parcels of land on which to build homes or make such acquisitions more expensive, hinder our market share expansion, and lead to pricing pressures on our homes that may adversely affect our margins and revenues. If we are unable to successfully compete, our financial results could suffer and the value of the company could be adversely affected. Our competitors may independently develop land and construct housing units that are superior or substantially similar to our products. Furthermore, some of our competitors have substantially greater financial resources and lower costs of funds than we do. Many of these competitors also have longstanding relationships with subcontractors and suppliers in the markets in which we operate.
One of the Company’s competitive advantages is the experience of the management team in constructing starter or first time move-up homes on a speculative basis, while the competition generally persists in constructing only as firm commitments are in hand. This advantage will persist and remain as important, or increasingly more important, as the market continues to evolve. More importantly, the Company’s ability to offer fill rebuilding, renovation, elevation and house moving services is a distinct and unique quality that affords the company a certain protection from competitors who may be focused solely on new construction.
| 12 |
It is Management’s firm opinion that there currently exists, and will continue to exist for the foreseeable future, a vast market and housing demand, consisting of homebuyers in New Jersey who have previously been unable to afford homes. Good quality speculative residential inventory which is presented to this market intelligently, should be readily absorbed. While the competition often has financial resources, which may be in excess of those of the Company, the management team has the experience and proven ability to react more quickly and accurately to current market requirements. These qualities serve as a valuable barrier to entry in the very competitive residential housing market.
We could experience an inability to acquire land for our housing developments if we are unable to obtain reasonably priced financing to support our homebuilding activities.
The homebuilding industry is capital intensive, and homebuilding requires significant up-front expenditures to acquire land and begin development. Accordingly, we incur substantial indebtedness to finance our homebuilding activities. Although private borrowings may become available to fund some of the acquisition-related capital needs, if such sources are not sufficient, we would then be forced to seek additional capital in the form of equity or debt financing from a variety of potential sources, including additional bank financing and/or securities offerings. The amount and types of indebtedness, which we may incur, are limited by the terms of the indentures governing notes and our other existing debt. See “Description of Other Existing Indebtedness.” In addition, the availability of borrowed funds, especially for land acquisition and construction financing, may be greatly reduced nationally, and the lending community may require increased amounts of equity to be invested in a project by borrowers in connection with both new loans and the extension of existing loans. If we are not successful in obtaining sufficient capital to fund our planned capital and other expenditures, we may be unable to acquire land for our housing developments. The two properties that we have tentatively under contract currently provide for seller-assisted financing, but also have closing dates which could cause the contracts to be cancelled or lapse if those deadlines are not met, in which case we could lose those properties or be required to pay more than currently contracted for those properties. Additionally, if we cannot obtain additional financing to fund the purchase of land under our option contracts, we may incur contractual penalties and fees.
The Company may need to seek out loans from banks to finance these projects. As part of their financing agreements, the banks typically require Vincent Simonelli to personally guarantee these loans. If Mr. Simonelli cannot qualify as a guarantor and there is no one other than him in the Company to provide those guarantees, the financing of the deals may be adversely affected. The exact amount of funding required for each particular property is not clear at the present time but will be determined when full approvals have been obtained and the Company is prepared to take title for each individual property.
We are subject to extensive government regulation, which could cause us to incur significant liabilities or restrict our business activities.
Regulatory requirements could cause us to incur significant liabilities and operating expenses and could restrict our projected business activities. We are subject to local, state, and federal statutes and rules regulating, among other things, certain developmental matters, building and site design, and matters concerning the protection of health and the environment. Our operating expenses may be increased by governmental regulations such as building permit allocation ordinances and impact and other fees and taxes, which may be imposed to defray the cost of providing certain governmental services and improvements. Other governmental regulations, such as building moratoriums and “no growth” or “slow growth” initiatives, which may be adopted in communities which have developed rapidly, may cause delays in home projects or otherwise restrict our projected development activities resulting in reductions in our revenues. Any delay or refusal from government agencies to grant us necessary licenses, permits, and approvals could have an adverse effect on our planned operations.
| 13 |
We may incur additional operating expenses due to compliance programs or fines, penalties and remediation costs pertaining to environmental regulations within our markets.
We are subject to a variety of local, state, and federal statutes, ordinances, rules, and regulations concerning the protection of health and the environment. The particular environmental laws, which apply to any given community, vary greatly according to the community site, the site’s environmental conditions, and the present and former use of the site. Environmental laws may result in delays, may cause expensive compliance programs and us to implement time consuming and may prohibit or severely restrict development in certain environmentally sensitive regions or areas. From time to time, the United States Environmental Protection Agency and similar federal or state agencies review homebuilders’ compliance with environmental laws and may levy fines and penalties for failure to strictly comply with applicable environmental laws or impose additional requirements for future compliance as a result of past failures. Any such actions taken with respect to us may increase our costs. Further, we expect that increasingly stringent requirements will be imposed on homebuilders in the future. Environmental regulations can also have an adverse impact on the availability and price of certain raw materials such as lumber.
We may be subject to significant potential liabilities because of construction defect, product liability, and warranty claims made against us.
As a homebuilder, we have been, and continue to be, subject to construction defect, product liability, and home warranty claims, including moisture intrusion and related mold claims, arising in the ordinary course of business. These claims are common to the homebuilding industry and can be costly.
With respect to certain general liability exposures, including construction defect, moisture intrusion and related mold claims and product liability, interpretation of underlying current and future trends, assessment of claims and the related liability and reserve estimation process is highly judgmental due to the complex nature of these exposures, with each exposure exhibiting unique circumstances. Furthermore, once claims are asserted for construction defects, it is difficult to determine the extent to which the assertion of these claims will expand geographically. Although we have obtained insurance for construction defect claims, such policies may not be available or adequate to cover any liability for damages, the cost of repairs, and/or the expense of litigation surrounding current claims, and future claims may arise out of uninsurable events or circumstances not covered by insurance and not subject to effective indemnification agreements with our subcontractors.
| 14 |
Our operating expenses could increase if we are required to pay higher insurance premiums or litigation costs for claims involving construction defect and product liability claims, which could cause our net income to decline.
The costs of insuring against construction defect and product liability claims are high, and the amount and scope of coverage offered by insurance companies is currently limited. This coverage may be further restricted and may become more costly.
Increasingly in recent years, lawsuits (including class action lawsuits) have been filed against builders, asserting claims of personal injury and property damage caused by the presence of mold in residential dwellings. Our insurance may not cover all of the claims, including personal injury claims, arising from the presence of mold, or such coverage may become prohibitively expensive. If we are not able to obtain adequate insurance against these claims, we may experience losses that could reduce our net income and restrict our cash flow available to service debt.
Historically, builders have recovered from subcontractors and their insurance carriers a significant portion of the construction defect liabilities and costs of defense that the builders have incurred.
Insurance coverage available to subcontractors for construction defects is becoming increasingly expensive, and the scope of coverage is restricted. If we cannot effectively recover from our subcontractors or their carriers, we may suffer greater losses, which could decrease our net income.
Builders’ ability to recover against any available insurance policy depends upon the continued solvency and financial strength of the insurance carrier that issued the policy. Many of the states in which we plan to build homes have lengthy statutes of limitations applicable to claims for construction defects. To the extent that any carrier providing insurance coverage to us or our subcontractors becomes insolvent or experiences financial difficulty in the future, we may be unable to recover on those policies, and our net income may decline.
Raw material and labor shortages and price fluctuations could delay or increase the cost of home construction and adversely affect our operating results.
The homebuilding industry has from time to time experienced raw material and labor shortages. In particular, shortages and fluctuations in the price of lumber or in other important raw materials could result in delays in the start or completion of, or increase the cost of, developing one or more of our residential communities. In addition, we contract with subcontractors to construct our homes. Therefore, the timing and quality of our construction depends on the availability, skill, and cost of our subcontractors. Delays or cost increases caused by shortages and price fluctuations could harm our operating results, the impact of which may be further affected by our ability to raise sales prices.
| 15 |
We plan to conduct our construction operations only as a general contractor. Virtually all construction work is to be performed by unaffiliated third-party subcontractors. Consequently, we depend on the continued availability of and satisfactory performance by these subcontractors for the construction of our homes. There may not be sufficient availability of and satisfactory performance by these unaffiliated third party subcontractors in the markets in which we operate. In addition, inadequate subcontractor resources could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We experience fluctuations and variability in our operating results on a quarterly basis and, as a result, our historical performance may not be a meaningful indicator of future results.
Our operating results in a future quarter or quarters may fall below expectations of securities analysts or investors and, as a result, the market value of the common stock, whether trading or not, may fluctuate. Because of such variability, our historical performance may not be a meaningful indicator of future results. Our quarterly results of operations may continue to fluctuate in the future because of a variety of both national and local factors, including, among others:
• the timing of home closings and land sales;
• our ability to continue to acquire additional land or secure option contracts to acquire land on acceptable terms;
• conditions of the real estate market in areas where we operate and of the general economy;
• raw material and labor shortages;
• seasonal home buying patterns; and
• other changes in operating expenses, including the cost of labor and raw materials, personnel and general economic conditions.
Our future growth may include additional acquisitions of companies that may not be successfully integrated and may not achieve expected benefits.
Acquisitions of companies may contribute to our growth and be a component of our growth strategy. Consistent with this strategy, we may engage in discussions with and evaluate potential acquisition targets, some of which may be significant, although we currently have no binding definitive agreements for any significant acquisitions of companies. In the future, we may acquire other businesses. Because of acquisitions of companies, we may need to seek additional financing and integrate product lines, dispersed operations, and distinct corporate cultures. These integration efforts may not succeed or may distract our management from operating our existing business. Additionally, we may not be able to enhance our earnings because of acquisitions. Our failure to successfully manage future acquisitions could harm our operating results.
The occurrence of natural disasters could increase our operating expenses and reduce our revenues and cash flows.
The climates and geology of the states in which we operate (currently solely located within New Jersey) present increased risks of natural disasters. To the extent that hurricanes, severe storms, droughts, floods, wildfires or other natural disasters or similar events occur, our homes that might be under construction in the future or any of our building lots in such states could be damaged or destroyed, which may result in losses exceeding our insurance coverage. Any of these events could increase our operating expenses, impair our cash flows, and reduce our revenues, which could, in turn, negatively affect the market price of our securities.
| 16 |
Future terrorist attacks against the United States or increased domestic or international instability could have an adverse effect on our operations.
Adverse developments in the war on terrorism, future terrorist attacks against the United States, or any outbreak or escalation of hostilities between the United States and any foreign power, including the armed conflict with Iraq, may cause disruption to the economy, our company, our employees and our customers, which could adversely affect our revenues, operating expenses, and financial condition.
Compliance with changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure may result in additional expenses, which as a smaller public company may be disproportionately high.
Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, new SEC regulations, and stock market rules, are creating uncertainty for development companies such as us. These new and changing laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies, which could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. As a result, our efforts to comply with evolving laws, regulations, and standards will likely result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If we are unable to comply with the newly enacted JOBS Act regulations, which lessen if not eliminate the harsher impact of some of the reporting requirements, expenses will remain higher than other companies which are able to meet the new rules. In particular, our efforts to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the related regulations regarding our required assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting and our independent registered public accounting firm’s audit of that assessment will require the commitment of significant financial and managerial resources. We expect these efforts to require the continued commitment of significant resources. Further, our board members, chief executive officer, and chief financial officer could face an increased risk of personal liability in connection with the performance of their duties. As a result, we may have difficulty attracting and retaining qualified board members and executive officers, which could slow down our business. If we are unable to fully comply with new or changed laws, regulations and standards, or if our efforts differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to practice, our reputation may be harmed and our stock price may suffer.
| 17 |
Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results. In addition, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which could have an adverse effect on our stock price.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our operating results could be harmed. If we are unable to maintain the status of “Emerging Growth Company”, we will be required to document and test our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and a report by our independent registered public accounting firm addressing these assessments. Although we intend to augment our internal controls procedures and expand our accounting staff, there is no guarantee that this effort will be adequate.
We may need additional capital in the future, but there is no assurance that funds will be available on acceptable terms.
We may need to raise additional funds in order to achieve growth or fund other business initiatives. This financing may not be available in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us and may be dilutive to existing stockholders. Additionally, any securities issued to raise funds may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, our ability to expand, develop or enhance services or products, or respond to competitive pressures will be limited.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON SHARES
You will not receive dividend income from an investment in the shares and as a result, you may never see a return on your investment.
We have never declared or paid a cash dividend on our shares nor will we in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain any future earnings, if any, to finance the operation and expansion of our business. Accordingly, investors who anticipate the need for immediate income from their investments by way of cash dividends should refrain from purchasing any of the securities offered by our company. As we do not intend to declare dividends in the future, you may never see a return on your investment and you indeed may lose your entire investment.
Rule 144
In general, persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months, and any affiliate of the company who owns either restricted or unrestricted shares of our common stock, are entitled to sell their securities without registration with the SEC under an exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
| 18 |
Non-Affiliates
Any person who is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding a sale, may sell an unlimited number of restricted securities under Rule 144 if:
| ● | the restricted securities have been held for at least six months (including the holding period of any prior owner other than one of our affiliates); |
| ● | we have been subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least 90 days before the sale; and |
| ● | we are current in our Exchange Act reporting at the time of sale. |
Affiliates
Persons seeking to sell restricted securities who are our affiliates at the time of, or any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to the restrictions described above. They are also subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be required to comply with the manner of sale and notice provisions of Rule 144 and would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only that number of securities that does not exceed the greater of either of the following:
| ● | the average weekly trading volume of our common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale. |
Additionally, persons who are our affiliates at the time of, or any time during the three months preceding, a sale may sell unrestricted securities under the requirements of Rule 144 described above, without regard to the six month holding period of Rule 144, which does not apply to sales of unrestricted securities.
Unlimited Resales by Non-Affiliates
Any person who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of ours at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and has held the restricted securities for at least one year, including the holding period of any prior owner other than one of our affiliates, will be entitled to sell an unlimited number of restricted securities without regard to the length of time we have been subject to Exchange Act periodic reporting or whether we are current in our Exchange Act reporting.
Our Common Stock Is A “Penny Stock,” And Compliance With Requirements For Dealing In Penny Stocks May Make It Difficult For Holders Of Our Common Stock To Resell Their Shares.
Our common stock is currently listed in the public market in what is known as the over-the-counter market and at least for the foreseeable future, our common stock will be deemed to be a “penny stock” as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Rule 15g-2 under the Exchange Act requires broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain from these investors a manually signed and dated written acknowledgement of receipt of the document before effecting a transaction in a penny stock for the investor’s account. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult for holders of our common stock to resell their shares to third Parties or otherwise, which could have a material adverse effect on the liquidity and market price of our common stock.
| 19 |
Penny stocks are stocks with a price of less than $5.00 per share unless traded on NASDAQ or a national securities exchange.
Penny stocks are also stocks, which are issued by companies with Net tangible assets of less than $2.0 million (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years); or $5.0 million (if in continuous operation for less than three years); or average revenue of less than $6.0 million for the last three years.
Our stock price may fluctuate significantly, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the current market price.
The trading price of our common stock is likely to be volatile and subject to wide price fluctuations in response to various factors, including:
| ● | regulatory or political developments; | |
| ● | market conditions in the broader stock market; | |
| ● | actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial and results of operations; | |
| ● | introduction of new products or services by us or our competitors; | |
| ● | issuance of new or changed securities analysts’ reports or recommendations; | |
| ● | investor perceptions of us and the educational industry; | |
| ● | sales, or anticipated sales, of large blocks of our stock; | |
| ● | additions or departures of key personnel; | |
| ● | litigation and governmental investigations; and | |
| ● | changing economic conditions. |
These and other factors may cause the market price and demand for our common stock to fluctuate substantially, which may limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares of common stock and may otherwise negatively affect the liquidity of our common stock. In addition, in the past, when the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have sometimes instituted securities class action litigation against the Company that issued the stock. If any of our stockholders were to bring a lawsuit against us, we could incur substantial costs defending the lawsuit. Such a lawsuit could also divert the time and attention of our management from our business.
| 20 |
Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public markets, or the perception that such sales might occur, could reduce the price of our common stock and may dilute your voting power and your ownership interest in us.
If our existing stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, the market price of our common stock could decrease significantly. The perception in the public market that our existing stockholders might sell shares of common stock could also depress our market price
Insiders have substantial control over us and could limit your ability to influence the outcome of key transactions, including a change of control.
As of December 31, 2016, our principal stockholders, directors, and executive officers and entities affiliated with them owned approximately 79.0 % of the outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result, these stockholders, if acting together, would be able to influence or control matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors and the approval of mergers or other extraordinary transactions. They may also have interests that differ from yours and may vote in a way with which you disagree and which may be adverse to your interests. The concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, preventing, or deterring a change of control of our company, could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common stock as part of a sale of our company and may materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
. As a public company, we are required to:
| ● | Prepare and distribute periodic public reports and other stockholder communications in compliance with our obligations under the federal securities laws and OTCBB rules; | |
| ● | create or expand the roles and duties of our board of directors and committees of the board; | |
| ● | maintain a more comprehensive financial reporting and disclosure compliance functions; | |
| ● | maintain an accounting and financial reporting department, including personnel with expertise in accounting and reporting for a public company; | |
| ● | enhance and formalize closing procedures at the end of our accounting periods; | |
| ● | maintain an internal audit function; | |
| ● | enhance our investor relations function; | |
| ● | establish and maintain new internal policies, including those relating to disclosure controls and procedures; and | |
| ● | involve and retain to a greater degree outside counsel and accountants in the activities listed above. |
| 21 |
These requirements entail a significant commitment of additional resources. We may not be successful in implementing these requirements and implementing them could adversely affect our business or results of operations. In addition, if we fail to implement the requirements with respect to our internal accounting and audit functions, our ability to report our results of operations on a timely and accurate basis could be impaired.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Forward-Looking Statements
Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation contains “forward-looking” statements, as well as historical information. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements include those that use forward-looking terminology, such as the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “project,” “plan,” “will,” “shall,” “should,” and similar expressions, including when used in the negative. Although we believe the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable and achievable, these statements involve risks and uncertainties, and no assurance can be given that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Current shareholders and prospective investors are cautioned that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Such forward-looking statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond our control, and actual results for future periods could differ materially from those discussed in this report, depending on a variety of important factors, among which are our ability to implement our business strategy, our ability to compete with major established companies, the acceptance of our products in our target markets, our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, our ability to obtain financing, our ability to continue as a going concern, and other risks described from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements contained in this report speak only as of the date of this report. Future events and actual results could differ materially from the forward-looking statements. You should read this report completely and with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from what management expects. We will not update forward-looking statements even though its situation may change in the future.
We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Important factors on which such statements are based are assumptions concerning uncertainties, including but not limited to uncertainties associated with the following:
(a) potential fluctuation in quarterly results;
(b) our failure to earn revenues or profits;
| 23 |
(c) inadequate capital and barriers to raising the additional capital or to obtaining the financing needed to implement our business plans;
(d) inadequate capital to continue business;
(e) changes in demand for our products and services;
(f) rapid and significant changes in markets;
(g) litigation with or legal claims and allegations by outside parties;
(h) insufficient revenues to cover operating costs.
You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto, included herewith. This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such discussion represents only the best present assessment of management.
PLAN OF OPERATION
In an effort to further expand the Company’s revenue potential beyond that of the information field, Virtual Learning further invested in a non-related business, through associations with several large shareholders in the Company. Virtual recognized that the effects of Super Storm Sandy, which occurred on October 29, 2012 would be far reaching and cause an almost unlimited demand for specific construction services, as well as construction information. Due to the damage caused by the storm, as well as the material changes in the FEMA flood maps which
now require over 30,000 homeowners along the New Jersey coastline to elevate their homes, Virtual felt that acquiring an entity in the construction field might provide a stable revenue stream for the company. Additionally, through its previous associations and long standing professional relationships with Dream Homes Ltd., Virtual felt that Dream Homes educational division was an excellent fit with the existing platform that Virtual has developed to market educational software and materials.
As such, Virtual Learning acquired for stock a company known as Dream Building LLC, which will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Virtual Learning and pursue opportunities in the real estate field, specifically in new home construction, home elevations and renovations. As part of this effort, through the end of 2016, Virtual, through its Dream Building subsidiary, acquired the rights to complete 17 single family construction, renovation and home elevation projects in the central NJ region, which it will build to completion. The contract amount of these projects is as of December 31, 2016 is $2,438,603.
| 24 |
In addition to the above projects, which are in process, Dream Building LLC has also estimated an additional $5,300,000 worth of residential construction projects and added over 200 active prospects to its data base. All of these prospects are prime candidates for educational videos and short books on specific construction and rebuilding topics, as well as candidates for rebuilding projects to be built under the Dream Building LLC division.
Management hopes for steady growth in this segment of the company, since the rebuilding process will occur over the next 15-20 years. We anticipate possibly being able to efficiently address 5% - 10% of this market. The combined total number of homes affected by Storm Sandy that will need to be raised or demolished and rebuilt is in excess of 30,000 homes, of which less than 3,000 have been rebuilt. This remaining combined market for new construction and elevation projects in the Company’s market area is estimated to be in the range of $3.4 billion dollars. The company anticipates being able to efficiently address 5% - 10% of this market.
Among the other assets that Virtual acquired with Dream Builders LLC, were the rights to operate the educational construction seminar known as “Dream Homes Nearly Famous Rebuilding Seminar”, as well as the informational blog known as the “Dream Homes Rebuilding Blog.”
The Nearly Famous Rebuilding Seminar is held bi-monthly, and is a powerful educational tool for homeowners who need of rebuilding or renovations. This seminar has been presented steadily since early 2013, and is designed to educate and assist homeowners in deciphering the confusion about planning and executing complex residential construction projects.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures. We review our estimates and judgments on an on-going basis. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. We believe the following accounting policies are critical to the judgments and estimates we use in preparing our financial statements.
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 (none for the periods presented).

From August 19, 2016 to August 23, 2016 (see Note 1), Virtual Learning issued a total of 2,287,367 shares of common stock to Dream Homes Ltd. for rights to complete 6 in process construction contracts of Atlantic Northeast Construction LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Dream Homes Ltd. at an agreed price of $.05 per share.
On August 19, 2016, Virtual Learning issued 250,000 restricted shares of common stock to Mr. Roger Fidler for legal services. The 250,000 shares were valued at $2,500 (or $.01 per share), which amount was expensed in the three months ended September 30, 2016.
On October 13, 2016, DHL assigned 100,000 restricted shares of Company common stock it held to a minority shareholder of DHL. This minority shareholder of DHL had contributed $100,000 out of approximately $500,000 in a private placement of common stock of DHL in 2010. In addition, this minority stockholder of DHL also received 275,000 restricted shares from DHL in 2011 for consulting services. Accordingly, the Company has not deemed it appropriate to measure stock-based compensation relating to the 100,000 shares by DHL to its minority stockholder.
On October 21, 2016, Virtual Learning issued 160,000 restricted shares of common stock to an individual for accounting services. The 160,000 restricted shares were valued at $8,000 (or $.05 per share), which amount was expensed in the three months ended December 31, 2016.

The 180,000 shares were valued at $9,000 (Company officers and outside directors- $6,000, DHL employees-$3,000) (or $.05 per share), which amount was expensed in the three months ended December 31, 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, our cash balance was $266,709 and $2,298, respectively, total assets were $460,067 and $53,632, respectively, and total current liabilities amounted to $392,711 and $84,371, respectively, including loans payable to related parties of $14,743 and $14,525, respectively. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the total stockholders’ equity (deficiency) was $67,356 and $(30,739), respectively.
Inflation
The impact of inflation on the costs of our company, and the ability to pass on cost increases to clients 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.
Subsequent Events
On February 10, 2017, the Company entered into an Investor Relations and Consulting Services Agreement with an investor relations firm. The agreement has a term expiring August 31, 2017 and provides for issuance of 56,000 restricted shares of common stock to the investor relations firm (stock issued on February 1, 2017) and $2,000 per month fees to be paid to the investor relations firm commencing March 2017. Within the first 90 days of the agreement, the Company can terminate the agreement for any reason and neither party shall have any obligation to the other party.
On March 1, 2017, the Company acquired from DHL rights to a contract to purchase over 7 acres of land in Berkeley Township, NJ (the “Tallwoods Contract”) for 71,429 restricted shares of Company common stock. The Tallwoods Contract between DHL and the seller of the land was dated January 5, 2017 and provides for a $700,000 purchase price with closing on or about 60 days after final development approvals have been obtained and memorialized. DHL paid the seller a refundable $10,000 deposit in January 2017 pursuant to the Tallwoods contract.
The due diligence period associated with this property expired on March 4, 2017 and all costs associated with same were paid by Dream Homes Ltd. prior to the expiration date. The Company will incur no further costs related to the due diligence aspect of this purchase.
The land is currently improved with streets and all public utilities in place. As such, the necessary steps required to bring the property through the approval process involve primarily design engineering. Since the property is on an improved street, a major subdivision application will be filed with the township, which will create 13 conforming buildable lots from the existing single 7 acre parcel. Accordingly, the remaining costs will primarily involve engineering and approval costs, as opposed to costs associated with the installation of infrastructure.
At this time, the Company estimates that the total engineering and approval costs will be approximately $40,000. There are no significant infrastructure costs anticipated with this property.
In the event the transaction has not closed on at least a portion of the Property within 12 months of the completion of the Due Diligence Period (as may be extended by two 6-month extensions), the seller has the option of terminating the contract. Notwithstanding this provision, the Company retains the right at all times to waive any remaining contingencies and proceed to close on the property.
The Company may need to seek out loans from banks to finance this project. As part of their financing agreements, the banks typically require Vincent Simonelli to personally guarantee these loans. If Mr. Simonelli cannot qualify as a guarantor and there is no one other than him in the Corporation to provide those guarantees, the financing of the deals may be adversely affected. The exact amount of funding required for this property is not clear at the present time but will be determined when full approvals have been obtained and the Company is prepared to take title to the property.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Dream Homes & Development Corporation (formerly The Virtual Learning Company, Inc.)
I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dream Homes & Development Corporation (formerly The Virtual Learning Company, Inc.) and subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficiency), and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audits.
I conducted my audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Dream Homes & Development Corporation (formerly The Virtual Learning Company, Inc.) and subsidiary as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and the results of their consolidated operations and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

DREAM HOMES & DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
(formerly THE VIRTUAL LEARNING COMPANY, INC.)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended December 31, 2016 and 2015
Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies
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). On March 14, 2017, Virtual Learning changed its name to Dream Homes & Development Corporation (“DHDC”).
Virtual Learning was a subscription based software as a service (“SaaS”) provider of education products operated by Virtual Learning’s former chief executive officer who died in April 2016. Virtual Learning provided 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 was also a producer of a series of practice workbooks published on CD, DVD formatted disc and USB Drives and in the ePub format which were offered for sale through Barnes and Noble’s Nook and Amazon’s Kindle since 2012.
Newly Acquired Construction Business
On August 19, 2016, Virtual Learning acquired 4.5% of Dream Homes, Ltd. (“DHL”), 100% of Dream Building, LLC (“DBL”) , a wholly owned subsidiary of DHL, and use of all construction licensing and registrations held by Atlantic Northeast Construction LLC (“ANCL”), a wholly owned subsidiary of DHL, in exchange for the issuance of 2,225,000 shares of Virtual Learning common stock to DHL at an agreed price of $.05 per common share.
The majority stockholder and chief executive officer of DHL is also the controlling stockholder and chief executive officer of Virtual Learning. As Virtual Learning and DHL were entities under common control, the acquired assets were reflected by Virtual Learning at DHL’s $0 carrying amount on the date of transfer pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-50-30-5.
From August 19, 2016 to August 23, 2016, Virtual Learning acquired the rights to complete 6 in process construction contracts of ANCL in exchange for the issuance of 2,287,367 shares of Virtual Learning common stock to DHL at an agreed price of $.05 per common share for those ANCL contracts. As Virtual Learning and DHL were entities under common control, the acquired rights were reflected at DHL’s $0 carrying amount on the date of transfer pursuant to ASC 805-50-30-5.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DHDC and its wholly owned subsidiary DBL (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
| F-7 |
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. 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.
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 receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and loans payable to related parties. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses, and loans payable to related parties approximates fair value because of their short maturities.
Construction Contracts
Revenue recognition:
The Company recognizes construction contract revenue using the percentage-of-completion method, based primarily on contract cost incurred to date compared to total estimated contract cost. Cost of revenue includes an allocation of depreciation, amortization and general overhead cost. Changes to total estimated contract cost or losses, if any, are recognized in the period in which they are determined.
The Company generally provides limited warranties for work performed under its construction contracts with periods typically extending for a limited duration following substantial completion of the Company’s work on a project.
The Company classifies construction-related receivables and payables that may be settled in periods exceeding one year from the balance sheet date, if any, as current assets and liabilities consistent with the length of time of its project operating cycle. For example:
| · | Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings represent the excess of contract costs and profits (or contract revenue) over the amount of contract billings to date and are classified as a current asset. |
| · | Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings represent the excess of contract billings to date over the amount of contract costs and profits (or contract revenue) recognized to date and are classified as a current liability. |

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings result when either: 1) costs are incurred related to certain claims and unapproved change orders, or 2) the appropriate contract revenue amount has been recognized in accordance with the percentage-of-completion accounting method, but a portion of the revenue recorded cannot be billed currently due to the billing terms defined in the contract. Claims occur when there is a dispute regarding both a change in the scope of work and the price associated with that change. Unapproved change orders occur when there is a dispute regarding only the price associated with a change in scope of work. For both claims and unapproved change orders, the Company recognizes revenue, but not profit, when it is determined that recovery of incurred cost is probable and the amounts can be reliably estimated.
Change in Estimates:
The Company’s estimates of contract revenue and cost are highly detailed and many factors change during a contract performance period that result in a change to contract profitability. These factors include, but are not limited to, differing site conditions: availability of skilled contract labor: performance of major material suppliers and subcontractors: on-going subcontractor negotiations and buyout provisions: unusual weather conditions: changes in the timing of scheduled work: change orders: accuracy of the original bid estimate: changes in estimated labor productivity and costs based on experience to date: achievement of incentive-based income targets: and the expected, or actual, resolution terms for claims. The factors that cause changes in estimates vary depending on the maturation of the project within its lifecycle. For example, in the ramp-up phase, these factors typically consist of revisions in anticipated project costs and during the peak and close-out phases, these factors include the impact of change orders and claims as well as additional revisions in remaining anticipated project costs. Generally, if the contract is at an early stage of completion, the current period impact is smaller than if the same change in estimate is made to the contract at a later stage of completion. Management focuses on evaluating the performance of contracts individually and uses the cumulative catch-up method to account for revisions in estimates. Material changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Educational Software and Products
Revenue Recognition:
Revenue was recognized when all of the following conditions were satisfied: there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the customer has access to full use of the product, the collection is reasonably assured, and the amount to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable.
Revenue generated from the Company’s subscription based learning service was 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 is reasonably assured, and the amount to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable.
Revenue from customer subscriptions was recognized ratably over the subscription term beginning on the commencement date of each subscription. The average subscription term was twelve (12) months for our products, and all subscriptions are on a non-cancelable basis. When additional months were offered as a promotional incentive, those months were part of the subscription term. As part of their subscriptions, customers generally benefited from new features and functionality with each release at no additional cost.
Although our membership contracts were generally non-cancelable, customers had 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 were not entitled to a refund for prior services we had provided to them.
Customer support was provided to customers following the sale at no additional charge and at a minimal cost per call.
Revenue from the sale of CD’s or DVD’s and other materials was recognized when shipped or available to the customer in a downloadable format.

Capitalized Curriculum Development Costs
Virtual Learning had internally developed curriculum, which was primarily offered as web content and accessed via the Internet. Virtual Learning also created textbooks and other offline materials.
Virtual Learning had capitalized 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 were 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 capitalized curriculum development costs when the projects under development reached technological feasibility. Many of our courses were leveraged off proven delivery platforms and were primarily content, which has no technological hurdles. As a result, a significant portion of our courseware development costs qualified for capitalization due to the concentration of our development efforts on the content of the courseware.
Technological feasibility was established when we 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 began. The period of time over which these development costs were amortized was five years. This is consistent with the capitalization period used by others in our industry and corresponds with our product development lifecycle.
Due to the Company’s change in focus to its construction business, the Company wrote off the remaining unamortized capitalized curriculum development costs of $20,534 at December 31, 2016.
Income Taxes
The Company 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. The Company 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.
The Company 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 year ended December 31, 2015, 268,530 shares of common stock underlying the $53,706 balance of convertible notes payable and accrued interest at December 31, 2015 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.
| F-10 |
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.

Land Deposit and Costs to Acquire Related Contract
On December 15, 2016, the Company acquired from General Development Corp. (“GDC”) rights to a contract to purchase over 9 acres of undeveloped land without amenities in Lacey Township, New Jersey (the “Lacey Contract”) for $15,000 cash (paid in December 2016) and 100,000 restricted shares of Company common stock (to be issued in 2017) valued at $5,000. GDC acquired the rights to the contract from DHL on December 14, 2016 for $10,000 cash. As discussed in Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies under Line of Credit, the Company has an outstanding line of credit of $50,000 with GDC.
The Lacey Contract between DHL and the seller of the land was dated March 18, 2016 and provides for a $1,000,000 purchase price with closing on or about 60 days after memorialization of final Development Approvals have been obtained. DHL paid the seller a $10,000 refundable deposit in March 2016 pursuant to the Lacey Contract. In the event the transaction has not closed on at least a portion of the property within 24 months of the completion of the Due Diligence Period (as may be extended by two 6- month extensions), the seller has the option of terminating the contract. Notwithstanding this provision, the Company retains the right at all times to waive any remaining contingencies and proceed to close on the property.
At this time, the contract is in good standing and there is no risk of cancellation. As per the contract, the Company is required to close on this property no later than March 18th, 2019, which date is inclusive of the 24 month development period, and 2 additional 6-month extensions.
Due diligence for the above property was completed as of May 17, 2016, and all costs were incurred by Dream Homes Ltd., who was in the contract for the property at the time. No additional costs for due diligence have been incurred by the Company, nor are any anticipated. The Company will incur all current costs associated with this property necessary to obtain all approvals, acquire the land, install the infrastructure and prepare the property to commence construction.
In order to obtain all developmental approvals and be prepared to begin installing infrastructure, various permits and an additional amount of engineering work will be required. These permits include but are not limited to township subdivision, county, municipal utility authority, CAFRA (NJ Department of Environmental Protection) and NJ Department of Transportation. To date, design engineering has been completed and a CAFRA application prepared and submitted to the environmental scientist, along with a check for $36,500 payable to the NJ DOT. Application will be made in the near future.
It is anticipated that complete development approvals will cost approximately $90,000. In additional to these approval costs and acquisition costs, infrastructure costs are anticipated to cost approximately $1,000,000. The total amount of funding required to acquire and make this property ready for home construction is approximately $2,090,000.
The Company may need to seek out loans from banks to finance this project. As part of their financing agreements, the banks typically require Vincent Simonelli to personally guarantee these loans. If Mr. Simonelli cannot qualify as a guarantor and there is no one other than him in the Corporation to provide those guarantees, the financing of the deal may be adversely affected. The exact amount of funding required for this particular property is not clear at the present time but will be determined when full approvals have been obtained and the Company is prepared to take title to property.

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:
Year Ended December 31, 2016
|
Year ended December 31, 2015
|
||||||||
| Expected tax at 35% | $ | (4,121) |
|
$ | (56,099 | ) | |||
| Non-deductible stock-based compensation | 6,825 | 14,000 | |||||||
| Non-deductible amortization of debt discounts | 1,458 | 16,042 | |||||||
| Non-deductible amortization and 2016 impairment of Capitalized Curriculum Development Costs | 17,967 | 11,130 | |||||||
| Change in valuation allowance | (22,129) | (14,927) | |||||||
| Provision for (benefit from) income taxes | $ | - | $ | - | |||||
The significant components of Virtual Learning’s deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 are as follows:
December 31, 2016
|
December 31, 2015 | ||||||||
| Deferred tax assets: | |||||||||
| Net operating loss carry forward | $ | 19,315 | $ | 41,436 | |||||
| Valuation allowance | (19,315 | ) | (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 $19,315 attributable to the future utilization of $55,185 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 December 31, 2016 and 2015. The Company will continue to review this valuation allowance and make adjustments as appropriate. The net operating loss carryforwards expire $12,535 in the year 2034, and $42,650 in the year 2035.
| F-15 |
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.
8- Business Segments
The Company has two business segments: (1) educational software and products and
(2) residential construction. The educational software and products segment was operated through Virtual Learning. The residential construction segment is operated through DHDC’s wholly owned subsidiary Dream Building, LLC (since August 19, 2016).
Summarized financial information by business segment for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 follows:

All revenue relating to the residential construction segment was derived from construction
contracts involving homeowner customers located in the State of New Jersey. These contracts primarily involve specialized construction related to compromised home foundations and related issues caused by Super Storm Sandy damage.
9- Commitments and Contingencies
As of December 31, 2016, Dream Building, LLC is committed under 17 construction contracts outstanding (7 assigned contracts from Atlantic Northeast Construction LLC and 10 contracts executed by Dream Building, LLC) with home owners with contract prices totaling $2,438,603, which are being fulfilled in the ordinary course of business. None of these construction projects are expected to take significantly in excess of one year to complete from commencement of construction. The Company has no significant commitments with material suppliers or subcontractors that involve any sums of substance or, of long term duration at the date of issuance of these financial statements.
Line of Credit
On September 15, 2016, Virtual Learning established a $50,000 line of credit with General Development Corp., a non-bank lender. Advances under the line bear interest at a rate of 12% payable monthly and the outstanding principal is due and payable in 60 months. The line is secured by the personal guarantee of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The agreement to fund automatically renews on a yearly basis as long as interest payments are current. To date, the Company has not received any advances under the line of credit.
10. Related Party Transactions
Dream Homes Ltd. Allocated payroll
Dream Building LLC. (DBL) uses the services of Dream Homes Ltd. (DHL) personnel for DBL’s operations. For the three months ended December 31, 2016, Dream Homes & Development Corp. (DHDC) paid DHL and expensed, $49,103 (included with selling, general and administrative expenses) for DBL’s estimated share of DHL’s $88,466 gross payroll for the three months ended December 31, 2016.
Rent Free Occupancy at DHL.
The Company has occupied office space provided by DHL located in Forked River, NJ on a rent free basis from August 19, 2016 to March 31, 2017. Commencing April 2017, the Company will pay DHL monthly rent of $2,000.
11- Subsequent Events
On February 10, 2017, the Company entered into an Investor Relations and Consulting Services Agreement with an investor relations firm. The agreement has a term expiring August 31, 2017 and provides for issuance of 56,000 restricted shares of common stock to the investor relations firm (stock issued on February 1, 2017) and $2,000 per month fees to be paid to the investor relations firm commencing March 2017. Within the first 90 days of the agreement, the Company can terminate the agreement for any reason and neither party shall have any obligation to the other party.
On March 1, 2017, the Company acquired from DHL rights to a contract to purchase over 7 acres of land in Berkeley Township, NJ (the “Tallwoods Contract”) for 71,429 restricted shares of Company common stock. The Tallwoods Contract between DHL and the seller of the land was dated January 5, 2017 and provides for a $700,000 purchase price with closing on or about 60 days after final development approvals have been obtained and memorialized. DHL paid the seller a refundable $10,000 deposit in January 2017 pursuant to the Tallwoods contract.
The due diligence period associated with this property expired on March 4, 2017 and all costs associated with same were paid by Dream Homes Ltd. prior to the expiration date. The Company will incur no further costs related to the due diligence aspect of this purchase. The Company will incur all current and future costs associated with this property necessary to obtain all approvals, acquire the land and prepare the property to commence construction.
The land is currently improved with streets and all public utilities in place. As such, the necessary steps required to bring the property through the approval process involve primarily design engineering. Since the property is on an improved street, a major subdivision application will be filed with the township, which will create 13 conforming buildable lots from the existing single 7 acre parcel. Accordingly, the remaining costs will primarily involve engineering and approval costs, as opposed to costs associated with the installation of infrastructure.
At this time, the Company estimates that the total engineering and approval costs will be approximately $40,000. The amount of money required to purchase the property is $700,000 of which $10,000 is currently on deposit.
In the event the transaction has not closed on at least a portion of the Property within 12 months of the completion of the Due Diligence Period (as may be extended by two 6-month extensions), the seller has the option of terminating the contract. Notwithstanding this provision, the Company retains the right at all times to waive any remaining contingencies and proceed to close on the property.
The Company may need to seek out loans from banks to finance this project. As part of their financing agreements, the banks typically require Vincent Simonelli to personally guarantee these loans. If Mr. Simonelli cannot qualify as a guarantor and there is no one other than him in the Corporation to provide those guarantees, the financing of the deal may be adversely affected. The exact amount of funding required for this particular property is not clear at the present time but will be determined when full approvals have been obtained and the Company is prepared to take title to property.
On March 14, 2017, DHL assigned 275,000 restricted shares of Company common stock it held to the same minority stockholder of DHL that it assigned 100,000 shares of Company common stock on October 13, 2016 (see Note 6).

(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
| ● | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; |
| ● | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and |
| ● | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
As of December 31, 2016, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, the Company concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of its internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected its internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that the Company’s management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board was (a) the lack of a functioning audit committee, (b) there are insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements, (c) there is a lack of expertise with US generally accepted accounting principles and SEC rules and regulations for review of critical accounting areas and disclosures and material non-standard transactions and (d) lack of effective oversight during the financial close process resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by the Company’s management in connection with the review of its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.
| 31 |
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above did not have an effect on its financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors, coupled with not having individuals on staff or retainer with a thorough knowledge of US GAAP and SEC rules and regulations and lack of effective oversight on the financial close process results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in its financial statements in future periods.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by its registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Remediation Plan
Management is sensitive to the issues presented and intends to take appropriate action when the Company’s financial resources permit. Management will continue to review and make necessary changes to the overall design of its internal control environment

Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships among any of our officers or directors.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws both provide for the indemnification of our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law.
Limitation of Liability of Directors
Pursuant to the Nevada General Corporation Law, our Articles of Incorporation exclude personal liability for our Directors for monetary damages based upon any violation of their fiduciary duties as Directors, except as to liability for any breach of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, or any transaction from which a Director receives an improper personal benefit. This exclusion of liability does not limit any right which a Director may have to be indemnified and does not affect any Director’s liability under federal or applicable state securities laws. We have agreed to indemnify our directors against expenses, judgments, and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim against a Director if he acted in good faith and in a manner he believed to be in our best interests.
Election of Directors and Officers
Directors are elected to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors have been elected and qualified. Officers are appointed to serve until the meeting of the Board of Directors following the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors have been elected and qualified.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our common stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater-than-ten-percent beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to us and written representations from our executive officers and directors, we believe that as of the date of this filing they were all current in their filings.
Code of Ethics
A code of ethics relates to written standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
| 1) | Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; | |
| 2) | Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that are filed with, or submitted to, the Commission and in other public communications made by an issuer; | |
| 3) | Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations; | |
| 4) | The prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the code; and | |
| 5) | Accountability for adherence to the code. |
We have not adopted a corporate code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.
Our decision to not adopt such a code of ethics results from our having a small management structure for the Company. We believe that the limited interaction which occurs having such a small management structure for the Company eliminates the current need for such a code, in that violations of such a code would be reported to the party generating the violation.
| 33 |
Corporate Governance
We currently do not have standing audit, nominating and compensation committees of the board of directors, or committees performing similar functions. Until formal committees are established, our entire board of directors will perform the same functions as an audit, nominating and compensation committee.
DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
The name, age and titles of our executive officers and directors is as follows:
Name and Address of Executive Officer and/or Director |
Age | Position | ||
|
||||
| Vincent C. Simonelli | 51 | President, Treasurer, and Director (Principal Executive, Financial and Accounting Officer) |
Kathleen M. Dotoli 50 Director
Richard Pezzullo 58 Director
Valerie Jones 45 Secretary
AUDIT COMMITTEE
We do not have an audit committee financial expert. We do not have an audit committee financial expert because we believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive.
