CENTENARY INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)

March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015

 

NOTE 1 – CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at March 31, 2016 and for all periods presented have been made.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s December 31, 2015 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years.

 

Reclassification - Certain amounts in prior-period financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to presentation in the current-period financial statements.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company does not have significant cash or other current assets, nor does it have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company is seeking to merge with or acquire an existing operating company.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish its merger and/or acquisition strategy, and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements include no adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has evaluated recent accounting pronouncements and their adoption has not had or is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, or statements.

 

NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company owes aggregate convertible notes payable to shareholders of $3,307,410 and $3,513,598 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

 

LIBOR + 2% Notes

The Company owes LIBOR plus 2% convertible notes payable to shareholders of $1,504,969 and $1,484,368 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The notes payable accrue interest at the 360-day LIBOR plus 2% per annum (calculated on the date of issuance), and are due one year from the date of issuance. Several of the notes have reached maturity and been extended one or more times with identical terms. Should the Company default on the notes, they are subject to a penalty such that they would accrue interest at 150% of the original rate, commencing on the due date. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company borrowed a total of $312,338 pursuant to these notes, and borrowed an additional $20,601 during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Interest expense totaled $16,379 and $8,635 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Accrued interest payable on the notes totaled $131,865 and $121,065 at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (Continued)

 

Even LIBOR Note

On July 1, 2015 the Company consummated a debt transaction whereby the Company became indebted to Oil Combustibles, S.A., a related party, in the amount of $2,900,550 (26,370,759 Argentine Pesos). The primary proceeds of this note, $1,997,768, were used to satisfy the Company’s outstanding payable to its former officer Matias Bullrich in the amount of $1,560,000, plus accrued interest totaling $437,768. The remaining $902,782, representing the difference between the note amount and the total paid to Mr. Bullrich, was a note premium recorded as a loss on settlement of debt. The note accrues interest at the 360-day LIBOR rate, and becomes due one year from the date of issuance. The note is to be repaid solely in Argentine pesos, and therefore is subject to foreign currency periodic revaluation. From the date of issuance through March 31, 2016, the note balance decreased by $1,098,108 due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. This amount has been classified as other comprehensive income in the financial statements. At March 31, 2016 accrued interest on the note totaled $16,701.

 

NOTE 5 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Lease Agreement

 

In September, 2013 the Company entered into a lease agreement for approximately 4,000 square feet of office space located at 540 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10022. The lease had a term of 126 months. The first rent payment was due six months after the lease commencement date, beginning in March 2014 and ending in February 2024. Pursuant to the lease agreement, the annual fixed rent for each year during the first five years of the lease was $412,000, with monthly payments of $34,333 being due on the first of each month. The annual fixed rent then was to increase to $452,000 for each of the remaining years of the lease. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles the lease expense has been recorded on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. The Company had a one-time option to terminate the lease early at the end of the seventh year. During the year ended December 31, 2013 the Company paid $412,000 towards a security deposit which was held in trust. During the year ended December 31, 2014 the Company recognized rental expense totaling $325,940. Cash payments towards the lease agreement in the amount of $227,203 were applied against the accrued lease expense account. Payment of the lease was guaranteed by Oil Combustibles S.A., a company affiliated with our CEO.

 

Commencing in November 2014, the Company was not able to make its lease payments due to restrictions on foreign currency transfers imposed by the Central Bank of the Republic of Argentina. As a result, the landlord sent a Notice of Default on November 6, 2014 followed by a Notice of Termination on November 19, 2014. The landlord informed the Company that the Company’s security deposit of $412,000 was being retained by the landlord, and it was to be applied to expenses and damages. On December 9, 2014, the Company received a Notice of Reentry from the landlord stating that the landlord had retaken possession of the premises. Accordingly, on December 9, 2014, all but $205,000 of the Company’s lease obligations were written-off against the lease deposit. The lease deposit was fully impaired to zero. Pursuant to this transaction the Company recorded a loss on settlement of debt in the amount of $412,001. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the remaining $205,000 lease obligation was paid and satisfied in full.

Change in Chief Financial Officer

 

The director of the Company elected Matias Bullrich as the Company’s chief financial officer, chief accounting officer and Treasurer effective May 1, 2013.  Under the terms of the Agreement, Mr. Bullrich was to be paid $83,000 per month for his services. The Company was delinquent in its payments to Mr. Bullrich at the time the Agreement expired in May 2014. Accordingly, the Company had an outstanding payable to Mr. Bullrich of $1,000,000. Mr. Bullrich’s contract with the Company expired May 6, 2014, and it was not renewed. Mr. De Sousa, as the only director of the Company, then elected himself as chief financial officer, chief accounting officer and Treasurer, positions which he held prior to Mr. Bullrich holding them.

 

On October 17, 2014 the Company reached a settlement agreement with Mr. Bullrich wherein the $1,000,000 amount owed to Mr. Bullrich was to be paid in three installments of $333,333 each. The first installment was due on November 28, 2014.

 

Due to restrictions on foreign currency transfers imposed by the Central Bank of the Republic of Argentina, the Company was unable to make the first settlement payment of $333,333 to Mr. Bullrich by the November 28, 2014 due date. Mr. Bullrich subsequently filed a lawsuit against the Company and certain related companies, including Oil Combustibles, S.A. in which he sought $1 million dollars in damages. Through legal process, Mr. Bullrich was able to seize the equivalent of $1 million dollars in funds of Oil Combustibles, S.A. in bank accounts in Argentina. The Company accrued $560,000 in additional costs relating to this settlement, such that as of December 31, 2014 the total payable to Mr. Bullrich totaled $1,560,000. Pursuant to this transaction the Company recorded a loss on settlement of debt totaling $560,000 in 2014.

 

On July 1, 2015 the $1,560,000 payable to Mr. Bullrich, along with $437,768 in accrued interest, was paid in full on the Company’s behalf by Oil Combustibles, S.A., a related party (see Note 4).

 

NOTE 6 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In accordance with ASC 855-10, Company management reviewed all material events through the date of this report and determined there are no material subsequent events to report.

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

 

The following information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

 

Centenary International Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company” or “Centenary”), was incorporated on June 10, 1997. From its inception through the 1999 fiscal year, the Company was considered an exporter of food stuffs and commodities from Argentina to the world. However, the Company abandoned this line of business in 1999, before any revenues were earned. The Company’s ongoing business expenses are funded primarily through shareholder loans.

 

The Company’s current focus is to seek out and consummate a merger with, or an acquisition of, an existing operating entity. Management investigates possible merger candidates and acquisition opportunities from time to time. However, management can provide no assurance that we will have the ability to acquire or merge with an operating business, business opportunity or property that will be of material value to us.

 

We have incurred significant debt. Unless we are able to facilitate an acquisition of or merger with an operating business or are able to obtain significant outside financing, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Centenary is not currently a party to any agreement to acquire any assets or to enter into a business combination with a third party, nor do we have any commitment or understanding to enter into or become engaged in any transaction, as of the date of this filing. As of the date hereof, we have not made any arrangements or definitive agreements to use outside advisors or consultants.

 

Until such time as we acquire another business or company, we do not intend to use any employees with the possible exception of part-time clerical assistance on an as-needed basis. Outside advisors or consultants will likely be used only if they can be obtained for minimal cost or on a deferred payment basis. Management is confident that it will be able to operate in this manner and to continue its search for business opportunities during the next twelve months.

 

Lease Agreement Terminated

 

In September, 2013 the Company entered into a lease agreement for approximately 4,000 square feet of office space located at 540 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10022.  The lease had a term of ten years. Pursuant to the lease agreement, the annual fixed rent for each year during the first five years of the lease was $412,000, with monthly payments of $34,333 being due on the first of each month. The annual fixed rent then increased to $452,000 for each of the remaining years of the lease.  The Company had a one-time option to terminate the lease early at the end of the seventh year. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company paid $412,000 towards a security deposit which was to be held in trust. During the year ended December 31, 2014 the Company recognized rental expense totaling $325,940. Cash payments towards the lease agreement in the amount of $227,203 were applied against the accrued lease expense account. Payment of the lease was guaranteed by Oil Combustibles S.A., a company affiliated with our CEO.

 

Commencing in November 2014, the Company was not able to make its lease payments due to restrictions on foreign currency transfers imposed by the Central Bank of the Republic of Argentina.

Pursuant to this transaction the Company recorded a loss on settlement of debt in the amount of $412,001. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the remaining $205,000 lease obligation was paid and satisfied in full.

Mr. Bullrich subsequently filed a lawsuit against the Company and certain related companies, including Oil Combustibles, S.A. in which he sought $1 million dollars in damages.

The Company accrued $560,000 in additional costs relating to this settlement, such that as of December 31, 2014 the Company was indebted to Oil Combustibles, S.A., a related party, for $1,560,000. Pursuant to this transaction the Company recorded a loss on settlement of debt totaling $560,000 in 2014. On July 1, 2015 the $1,560,000 payable to Mr. Bullrich, along with $437,768 in accrued interest, was paid in full on the Company’s behalf by Oil Combustibles, S.A.

 

Results of Operations - Three Months Ended March 31, 2016

 

Revenues and Other Income

 

We had no revenues in either of the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 or 2015. If we are able to successfully complete the proposed acquisition of an oil and gas company in Argentina, we should begin to generate revenues.

 

Expenses

 

We had general and administrative expenses of $8,528 in the three month period ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $7,528 from the $1,000 of general and administrative expenses incurred in the three month period ended March 31, 2015. The increase in general and administrative expenses in the later period is attributable primarily to an increase in legal and accounting fees.

 

We incurred interest expense of $16,379 in the three months ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $7,744 from the interest expense of $8,635 incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in interest expense in the later period is attributable to the fact that the balance of notes payable – related parties was higher in the later period.

 

 -11- 

 

 

If we are able to successfully complete the acquisition of an oil and gas company in Argentina, we expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase significantly thereafter.

 

Net Loss

 

We experienced a net loss of $24,907, or ($0.04) per share, in the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to a net loss of $9,635, or ($0.02) per share, during the three month period ended March 31, 2015. The primary reasons for the increase in net loss in the later period are the $7,528 increase in general and administrative expense and the $7,744 increase in interest expense in the later period.

The Company has experienced significant changes in liquidity, capital resources and shareholders’ equity. As of March 31, 2016 the Company had $2,913 in total assets represented by $2,913 in cash. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had total liabilities of $3,469,805. The liabilities are all current liabilities and consist of notes payable – related parties, net of $3,307,410, accrued interest payable - related parties of $148,567, and accounts payable of $13,828.

 

There was no net cash used in operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2016. We experienced $226,769 of other comprehensive income during the three month period ended March 31, 2016, and we paid $20,601 of accounts payable by increases in related-party notes during that period.

 

The Company’s current assets are not sufficient to conduct its plan of operation over the next twelve (12) months. The Company anticipates that it may also need to raise approximately $3,500,000 from equity or debt financing arrangements to pay existing liabilities and meet the Company’s expenses in the next twelve (12) months if the Company remains searching for business opportunities. If the Company successfully closes an acquisition of an oil and gas company in Argentina, the Company’s cash needs may increase. We have no current commitments or arrangements with respect to, or immediate sources of, funding. Further, no assurances can be given that funding, if needed, would be available or available to us on acceptable terms. Although, our principal shareholder or a company affiliated with him would be the most likely source of new funding in the form of loans or equity placements in the near future, no commitments have been made for future investment and the Company has no agreement formal or otherwise. The Company’s inability to obtain funding, if required, would have a material adverse effect on its plan of operation.

 

We expect to rely at least partially on our principal shareholder or a company with which he is affiliated to pay our expenses in the future, because we have no cash or sources of revenues, and anticipate having none until such time that we complete a merger with or acquisition of an existing operating company. There is no assurance that we will complete such a merger or acquisition or that our principal shareholder or his affiliated company will continue indefinitely to pay our expenses. As of March 31, 2016 we had $2,913 in cash and current liabilities totaled $3,469,805.

 

All of the Company’s liabilities are current liabilities due within the next year.

 

The Company has no current plans to make any changes in the number of employees unless the Company can successfully close the proposed acquisition of an oil and gas company in Argentina, in which case the Company would expect to increase the number of employees following the acquisition.

 

In the opinion of management, inflation has not and will not have a material effect on our operations until such time as we successfully complete an acquisition or merger. At that time, management will evaluate the possible effects of inflation on our business and operations.

Capital Expenditures

 

The Company expended no amounts on capital expenditures during the year ended December 31, 2015 or during the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company expended no amounts on capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2016, and the Company has no current plans for the purchase or sale of any plant or equipment in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

In the notes to the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, included in the Company’s annual report filed on Form 10-K, the Company discusses those accounting policies that are considered to be significant in determining the results of operations and its financial position. The Company believes that the accounting principles utilized by it conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The preparation of financial statements requires Company management to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other facts and circumstances that are believed to be reasonable, and the results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. The actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company believes there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as a result of recurring losses, lack of revenue-generating activities and an accumulated deficit in the amount of $13,130,577 as of March 31, 2016. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is subject to the ability of the Company to realize a profit from operations and/or obtain funding from outside sources. Since the Company has no revenue generating operations, our plan to address the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months includes: (1) obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities; and/or (2) obtaining loans and grants from our principal shareholders and/or various financial institutions, where possible. Although we believe that we will be able to obtain the necessary funding to allow the Company to remain a going concern through the methods discussed above, there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.

 

Plan of Operation

 

The Company’s current focus is to seek out and consummate a merger with, or an acquisition of, an existing operating entity. We intend to actively seek out and investigate possible business opportunities for the purpose of possibly acquiring or merging with one or more business ventures. We do not intend to limit our search to any particular industry or type of business. From time to time we investigate possible merger candidates and acquisition opportunities. However, we can provide no assurance that we will have the ability to acquire or merge with an operating business, business opportunity, or property that will be of material value to us.

 

The Company will require ongoing capital to maintain our corporate viability, and necessary funds will most likely be provided by our principal stockholder or his affiliates in the immediate future. However, unless we are able to facilitate an acquisition of or merger with an operating business or are able to obtain significant outside financing, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

 -13- 

 

 

Because we lack significant funds, it may be necessary for our officers, directors and principal stockholders or their affiliates to either advance funds or to accrue expenses until such time as a successful business consolidation can be made. Management intends to hold expenses to a minimum and to obtain services on a contingency basis when possible. However, if we engage outside advisors or consultants in our search for business opportunities, our expenses will increase.

 

It is unlikely that we could make a public sale of securities or be able to borrow any significant sum from either a commercial or private lender. We anticipate that our principal shareholder will continue to arrange for loans to be made to the Company in the near term to support our operations. However, he is not contractually obligated to provide additional funds to us. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funding when and if needed, or that such funding, if available, can be obtained on acceptable terms.

 

Until such time as we acquire another business or company, we do not intend to use any employees, with the possible exception of part-time clerical assistance on an as-needed basis. Outside advisors or consultants will be used only if they can be obtained for minimal cost or on a deferred payment basis. Management believes that it will be able to operate in this manner and to continue its search for business opportunities during the next twelve months. Management further believes that we will not have to make any equipment purchases in the immediate future.

 

Net Operating Loss

 

We have accumulated approximately $5,165,000 of net operating loss carry forwards as of March 31, 2016. This loss carry forward may be offset against taxable income and income taxes in future years through the year 2036. The use of these losses to reduce future income taxes will depend on the generation of sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the net operating loss carry forwards. In the event of certain changes in control, there will be an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss carry forwards which can be used. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements as of March 31, 2016 because it has been fully offset by a valuation reserve. The use of future tax benefit is undeterminable because we presently have no operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

A “smaller reporting company” (as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K) is not required to provide the information required by this Item pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that such information was accumulated and communicated to our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, in a manner that allowed for timely decisions regarding required disclosures. There have been no changes in our internal controls or in other factors which could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, no changes occurred with respect to our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
