PART I

 

ITEM 1 – BUSINESS

 

History

 

We were organized in October of 2007 as R-Course Promotions, LLC, a California limited liability company. At the time of our formation, Kevin O'Connell was the managing member of our company and the sole member of General Pacific Partners, LLC ("GPP"), a California limited liability company. At our inception, GPP owned a majority of R-Course Promotions, LLC membership interests. In May of 2009, R-Course Promotions, LLC was merged with RC-1, Inc., a Nevada corporation with no prior operations. The reason for the merger was the potential liquidity for our shareholders. As of May 31, 2016, Kevin O'Connell is the Managing Member of (a) GPP, (b) Devcap, (c) Revete, and (d) Continental. Together, Mr. O'Connell and GPP, Devcap, Revete, and Continental own 79.9% of our outstanding common shares.

 

We are a development stage small motorsports company which was organized to participate in “Road Racing” motorsports events organized by several motorsports sanctioning bodies such as The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing ("NASCAR"), and The International Motorsports Association ("IMSA") and the Sports Car Vintage Racing Association (SVRA). The Road Racing motorsports events require the use of “Stock Cars” that are professionally modified for Road Racing, and “Sports Cars” that are specifically manufactured for competition Road Racing. From inception through December 31, 2017, we participated in racing events by exclusively leasing vehicles from unaffiliated third parties for each racing event in which we participated. In June of 2014, we acquired 3 vehicles; a Chevrolet Monte Carlo Super Sport fully equipped Stock Car; a Chevrolet Monte Carlo Super Sport "Roller" (a Roller is a Stock Car that is complete with all of the required racing components, but without a competition engine and transmission; and a 2012 Ford BOSS Mustang R (the "Mustang R). In March of 2017, the Ford BOSS Mustang R was sold for $125,000 and 833,333 shares of our common stock was returned to the company.

 

In 2012, we commenced offering racing production services to potential clients that wish to participate in motorsports racing. Our production services include producing a full motorsports racing team for clients by providing, a full "turnkey" Racing Team, to enable a client to participate in one or more racing event as a Team Owner, or providing management of, or access to, any part of equipment or human services required to participate in a racing event, including:

 

  · fully prepared racing cars
     
  · decaling the race cars
     
  · driver(s)
     
  · crew chiefs
     
  · car chiefs
     
  · mechanic crews
     
  · "over the wall" pit crews
     
  · liaison between the client and the sanctioning body (entry fees, equipment specifications and membership)
     
  · pre- and post-race social events

 

Background

 

The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) is a family-owned and -operated business that sanctions and governs multiple auto racing sports events. NASCAR is the largest sanctioning body of stock car in the United States. The three largest racing series sanctioned by NASCAR are the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series , the Xfinity Xfinity Series and the Camping World Truck Series. NASCAR also oversees the Whelen Modified Tour and the NASCAR Iracing.com Series. NASCAR sanctions over 1500 races at over 100 tracks in thirty-nine US states and Canada. NASCAR has presented exhibition races at the circuits in Japan, Mexico Australia and Europe. NASCAR is a separate and distinct entity from us and we do not have any formal contractual arrangements with NASCAR. We have participated in over twenty-five NASCAR sanctioned and embodied road racing events both regionally and nationally to date.

 

 

 

 1 

 

 

The International Motor Sports Association ("IMSA") is an auto racing sanctioning body based in Daytona Beach, Florida, United States. Beginning in 2014, IMSA became the sanctioning body of the WeatherTech Sports Car Championship, the premier road racing series resulting from the merger of the former Grand-Am Road Racing and the American Le Mans Series.

  

The Sports Car Vintage Racing Association ("SVRA") is the largest and one of the oldest Vintage Racing organization in the United States. SVRA now has to over 1,200 members. SVRA conducts Vintage events at legendary race tracks throughout the country. The series accepts entries that feature classic MGs, Triumphs, BMWs, Allards, Jaguars, and Lotuses as well as contemporary Camaros, Audis, Porsches and Corvettes among others.

 

The Vintage Auto Racing Association ("VARA") is the largest vintage car racing member organization on the West Coast of the United States. Race fields are made up of production and sports cars through 1979. 

 

The "Toyota Southwest Superlates" Series (SWS) is owned by the operators of Willow Springs International Raceway in Rosamond, California. It is presently run only at the Willow Springs International Raceway in Lancaster, California.

 

In addition to motorsports production services, we expect revenue to be derived from the sale of advertising space on each vehicle we enter in race and from winning a share of the “cash purses” that are provided by Sanctioning Organizations, Promoters and Sponsors of the events. In addition, we expect to utilize our race cars to provide marketing and public corporate branding services to clients desiring to use our cars and equipment to market their product or service by having our vehicles promote their brand by carrying their logo. Our ability to attract advertisers will, in part, be dependent upon the success of our racecars in the races we may decide to enter. We believe that if we win, or finish within the top 10 finishing places in a race, our ability to attract advertisers will be enhanced. Further, our past record of sporadic "Top 10" finishing places, has diminished our ability to attract advertisers.

 

Competition Events Attended

 

Since inception, we have participated in various NASCAR, IMSA and SVRA road course events using road racing prepared race cars. For these events, we either entered our own race cars for competition in the event or leased race cars as a part of an overall vendor relationship.

 

We participated in limited road racing events 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. We did have a regular racing schedule with a regional sanctioning body, the Toyota Southwest Superlate Model Series. Below is a list of events attended:

Sanctioning Bodies

 

Sports Car Vintage Racing Association (SVRA)

 

The Sports car Vintage Racing Association (SVRA) is the largest and one of the oldest Vintage Racing organization in the United States. SVRA now has to over 1,200 members. SVRA conducts Vintage events at legendary race tracks throughout the country. The series accepts entries that feature classic MGs, Triumphs, BMWs, Allards, Jaguars, and Lotuses as well as contemporary Camaros, Audis, Porsches and Corvettes among others.

 

NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series

 

The NASCAR Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series is the sport's highest level of professional competition. It is consequently the most popular and most profitable NASCAR series. Since 2001, the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup season has consisted of approximately thirty-six (36) races over 10 months.

 

NASCAR Xfinity Series

 

The NASCAR Xfinity Series (formerly Nationwide Series) is the second-highest level of professional competition in NASCAR today.

 

International Motor Sports Association (IMSA)

 

The International Motorsports Association (IMSA) is an auto racing sanctioning body based in Daytona Beach, Florida, United States. Beginning in 2014, IMSA is the sanctioning body of the WeatherTech Sports Car Championship the premier series resulting from the merger of Grand Am and the American LeMans Series presented by Tequilia Patron.

 

 

 

 3 

 

 

ARCA

 

The ARCA Racing Series powered by Menards is American stock car series, the premier division of the ARCA. It is considered professional league of stock car racing, perhaps two steps down from the top-level NASCAR Monster Energy Cup & Xfinity Series. Though some events occur the same weekend as NASCAR events, the Series is not affiliated with NASCAR.

 

Revenues

 

We plan to have three revenue streams for our business.

 

PRODUCTION SERVICES

 

In 2012, we commenced offering consulting and management services to potential clients that wish to participate in motorsports racing. Our services include providing, sourcing and managing a full "turnkey" racing car and race team, and all ancillary equipment and services to enable a client to participate in a racing event as a Team Owner, or providing management of, or access to, any part of equipment or human services required to participate in a racing event, including:

 

· fully prepared racing cars
· decaling the race cars
· driver(s)
· crew chiefs
· mechanic crews
· "over the wall" pit crews
· liaison between the client and the sanctioning body (entry fees, equipment specifications and membership)
· pre- and post-race social events

 

Our fees for this management ranges from 5% to 10% of the total budget for the event.

 

On January 1, 2014, the Company entered into an event services agreement with Carolina Pro Am Services, Inc., ("Carolina") a company owned and controlled by Richard Ware who is also the owner and controller of a Rick Ware Racing LLC. Rick Ware Racing LLC is the owner of 8.9% of our issued and outstanding common shares as of March 31, 2018. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 the Company paid $30,500 and $0 respectively to Carolina.

 

ADVERTISING REVENUE

 

The second potential source of revenue is from direct advertising from companies interested in advertising their product or service on our racing equipment. Though this part of our business, we offer a client access to national television, spectator sports and social media concurrently or individually depending on the racing series and venue. We believe we can attract advertising clients because the client's brand will be displayed on the following outlets:

 

National Television – NASCAR and IMSA races are live broadcasts. With their logos and brands displayed on our race vehicles, our client can expose their products or services to consumers. Broadcasting is currently on the FOX Network and Fox Sports 1.

 

Spectator Sports – In each racing event there are spectators that pay a gate attendance ticket fees to view events in person. With our client’s logos and brands displayed on our race vehicles, the client can expose their products or services to consumers, in this case live spectators.

 

Social Media – Through the proliferation of social media, fans, teams, sanctioning bodies, driver and spectators have access to real time information and a place to share their ideas and messaging. Our clients benefit from these activities as their logo and brand receive additional exposure and real time commentary.

 

In certain cases where a custom solution is required to accommodate the client, we will modify or revenue model and adjust fees accordingly either increased, decreased or with terms.

 

 

 

 4 

 

 

RACE PURSES

 

Revenue is expected to be derived from our winning a share of cash purses that are provided by event advertisers and sanctioning bodies. Purse for the events we participate in can range from $0 to over $1,000,000 for the sanctioning bodies we compete within. The winning purses we have received have been in regional events only.

 

We have had no present commitments from prospective advertisers. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any such sponsor revenue or management clients in the future. We have conducted limited operations to date, and our operations will continue to be limited until such time as we are able to obtain additional funds to carry out our overall business plans.

 

Acquisitions of Competition Equipment

 

In June of 2014, we acquired two (2) NASCAR type stock cars for competition in SVRA vintage racing events. The first race car is considered a “complete roller”. A “complete roller” is a purpose-built race car that is complete with all of the required racing components in place minus a competition engine and transmission. The engine and transmission can be purchased or leased.

 

The second racing vehicle our company acquired is a “turnkey “ NASCAR type road course stock car acquired in with all racing components including a racing engine and transmission.

 

The NASCAR stock cars were acquired from Cassin Farlow, LLC for 1,200,000 common shares on May 1, 2014. Cassin Farlow’s majority shareholder is Augustus B. O’Connell, father of Kevin O’Connell.

 

In addition, in June of 2014, we acquired a Ford “BOSS” road racing Mustang race car used in competition in the Grand Am Rolex Series. This model Boss Mustang is a custom built model specially configured for road racing. We intend to use this vehicle in SVRA Vintage racing competition. We acquired the Ford BOSS Mustang for $200,000. The debt of $200,000 was immediately converted into 1,333,333 common shares of the Company at a conversion rate of $0.15 per share pursuant to a debt to equity conversion agreement executed on May 1, 2014. In March of 2017, we sold the Ford BOSS Mustang R back to the original seller for $125,000 and received 833,333 of our shares of common stock back as compensation.

 

On May 25th, 2017 the company acquired a 2003 vintage Laughlin road race NASCAR Busch series car for $25,000 USD from Rick Ware Racing, LLC. The seller agreed to execute a debt to equity conversion agreement and subsequently converted the debt to common stock at $0.15 per share for a total of 166,667 shares of common stock.

 

Also, on May 25th, 2017 the company acquired a 2006 Hutch Pagan NASCAR Camping World Series super -speedway racing truck for $25,000 USD from Rick Ware Racing, LLC. The seller agreed to execute a debt to equity conversion agreement and subsequently converted the debt to common stock at $.15 per share for a total of 166,667 shares of common stock.

 

Operating Budget

 

Management estimates the cost of operating the business through March 31, 2019 will require additional capital of up to Three Hundred Thousand dollars ($300,000) consisting of: $20,000 for registration and licenses required for entry in sanctioned racing events; $20,000 for travel and lodging; $20,000 for marketing and branding; $30,000 for legal and accounting; $15,000 for engineers and consultants; $15,000 for parts, $90,000 for engine and transmission leases. $50,000 for fuels and tires; $10,000 for racecar transporter travel; $20,000 for debt service of all Company notes payable; and $10,000 in air and rental cars.

 

In future events, we will determine what chassis, car, engine and transmission we intend enter. Our decision will be based upon the characteristics of the race venue and the suitability of the chassis and combination to race at the particular track and expected conditions. The limitations of our operating budget will also be a factor.

 

 

 

 5 

 

 

Our ability to attract advertisers and management clients will be dependent upon the success of our racecars in the races we enter. We believe that if our cars are successful, or finish within the top 10 finishing places in any race, our ability to attract business will be enhanced. Our past record of inconsistent finishing places, has diminished our ability to attract regular business.

 

In addition, we have received revenue for the events in which we qualified to enter for races during the years of 2008 through 2016. Our losses from inception through the year ended December 31, 2017 was $3,149,308.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2017 we had limited revenue from marketing or sponsorships and had no purse winnings from competition. We incurred a loss of $142,851 which represented a decrease of $83,794 from a loss of $226,645 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The decrease in loss for 2017 is attributable to an increase in related party revenues. We had revenue of $155,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017 and $15,000 for the year ended December 31, 2016.

 

Our auditor's report has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Lines of Credit

 

On October 1, 2009 General Pacific Partners, LLC ("GPP") one of our principal shareholders, that is wholly owned and managed by Mr. O'Connell, established a Line of Credit of $600,000 due on demand. The Line of Credit carries annual interest at 8% The receipt of funds from this Line of Credit is subject to the approval of Mr. O'Connell. As of December 31, 2017 a total of $477,836 the Line of Credit was available. The terms of the line of credit provides that we are limited to a maximum quarterly draw down on the line of $100,000 per each calendar quarter. Mr. O'Connell may have a conflict of interest should we determine to draw upon the Line of Credit. He will have to determine, as the Managing Member of GPP, whether it is in the best interest of GPP to approve or decline the "draw down" or, as our controlling shareholder, it is in our best interest to approve the draw down.

 

On August 1, 2013, Devcap Partners, LLC, (“Devcap”) a Texas limited liability company that is wholly owned and managed by Mr. O'Connell, established a Line of Credit of $300,000. On January 1st ,2016 the Line of Credit was extended to $500,000. The terms of the Line of Credit contain annualized interest of 8%, quarterly interest payments to be paid by the Company on the outstanding balance which is due upon the maturity date of August 1, 2020. Mr. O'Connell may have a conflict of interest should we determine to draw upon the Line of Credit. He will have to determine, as the Managing Member of Devcap, whether it is in the best interest of Devcap to approve or decline the "draw down" or, as our controlling shareholder, it is in our best interest to approve the draw down. At December 31, 2017, a total of $450,353 of credit was available on this line.

 

On October 15, 2012 TVP Investments, LLC established a Line of Credit of $500,000. TVP Investments, LLC is a Georgia limited liability company. As of December 31, 2017, we had drawn $75,000 of principal on this Line of Credit and had accrued interest of $29,918. The terms of this Line of Credit contain annualized interest of 10%, quarterly interest payments and matures on December 31, 2019, paid by the Company on outstanding balances and provides that we are limited to a maximum quarterly draw down on the line of $100,000 per each calendar quarter.

 

Capital Requirements

 

Management estimates for the cost of operating the business through March 31, 2019 will require additional capital of up to Three Hundred Thousand dollars ($300,000) consisting of: $20,000 for registration and licenses required for entry in sanctioned racing events; $20,000 for travel and lodging; $20,000 for marketing and branding; $30,000 for legal and accounting; $15,000 for engineers and consultants; $15,000 for parts, $90,000 for engine and transmission leases. $50,000 for fuels and tires; $10,000 for racecar transporter travel; $20,000 for debt service of all Company notes payable; and $10,000 in airfare and rental cars.

 

There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise any or all of the capital required. These factors indicate that we may be unable to continue as a going concern, particularly in the event that we cannot generate sufficient cash flow or raise sufficient capital to conduct our operations. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments to the value of our assets or the classification of our liabilities that might result if we would be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

 

 

 6 

 

 

Meeting our capital requirements will be directly dependent on Mr. O'Connell and his related businesses and his decision to advance us capital in the event that we are not able to raise capital from other sources. 

 

Additionally, our ability to attract lessees for our race cars and clients for our consulting and advertising business will, in part, be dependent upon the success of our lessees in the races in which they compete. The race event finishing positions, especially finishing among the first ten places, will enhance our ability to attract capital and event to offset the cost of competing in racing events. Should our lessees compete in races in which they finish in other than the first ten finishing places, those lessees ability to attract advertisers and advertising and promotion monies may be diminished.

 

Marketing

 

We depend upon our officers for all marketing activities. We intend to hire a marketing and sales person to pursue our offerings of motorsports production services. However, we will not be able to hire such a person until we have the financial resources to do so.

 

Competition

 

We principally compete with other racing teams and advertising companies that are much larger, well known, better established and have greater financial resources than us. We do not consider the Company to be a factor in the overall racing industry. We will also compete for advertising dollars with other sports such as football, baseball, basketball, hockey, tennis and golf and with other live entertainment and popular recreational activities. We also compete with other consultant and management companies that are much larger and have a longer history and are better established for clients in our Consulting and Management business. Depending on our success in funding our operations, we intend on entering between four and ten events on an annual basis. The events attended are dependent on our success in raising capital from sources other than our lines of credit from General Pacific Partners, LLC and TVP Investments LLC.

 

Relationship with our majority shareholder

 

Our Chief Executive Officer, Kevin O'Connell is the Managing Member of (a) GPP, (b) Devcap, (c) Revete and (d) Continental. Together, Mr. O'Connell and GPP, Devcap, Revete, and Continental own 79.9% of our outstanding common shares.

 

Since the inception of the company we have borrowed monies from GPP, Devcap, Kevin P. O’Connell and his affiliates.

 

On October 1, 2009, the Company established a $600,000 unsecured line of credit with GPP. The terms of the Line of Credit provide for interest at 8% per annum on all balances; quarterly interest payments outstanding balances and is limited to a maximum quarterly draw down on the line of $100,000. On June 2, 2014 $295,306 due on the Line of Credit was converted into 1,968,704 shares of common stock in the Company. As of March 1, 2018 there was $477,836 available on the GPP line of credit. GPP is a company whose management and majority membership interests are held by Mr. O’Connell, the President of the Company.

 

On July 3rd, 2017, GPP executed a debt to equity conversion agreement with the Company and converted $200,000 of debt to common stock at $0.10 per share. The Company issued 2,000,000 shares of its common stock to GPP.

 

On August 1, 2013 the Company established a $300,000 unsecured line of credit with Devcap. On January 1st, 2016 the line was increased to $500,000. The terms of the Line of Credit provide for interest at 8% per annum. On June 2, 2014, $85,690 due on the 8% (eight percent) Line of Credit was converted into 571,267 shares of common stock in the Company. As of December 31, 2017, there was $450,353 available on the Devcap line of credit. Devcap is a company whose management and majority membership interests are held by Mr. O’Connell.

 

On July 3rd, 2017, DEVCAP executed a debt to equity conversion agreement with the company and converted $200,000 of debt to common stock at $0.10 per share. The company issued 2,000,000 shares of its common stock to DEVCAP.

The Company has recurring losses from operations and its auditor has stated that there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Further, continued losses could cause the Company to be unable to continue in the racing industry or to meet debt obligations. (see "Risk Factors" starting on Page 6 above). The Company believes that racing requires significant capital outlays on a continual basis to successfully fund operations, but with adequate funding that profitable operations can be achieved.

 

Without additional funding, the Company could discontinue operations. We have $60,342 in cash as of December 31, 2017 and our monthly expenses are approximately $25,000. We will need to obtain additional funding to maintain continuing operations and there can be no assurance that such funding is, or will become available.

 

Facilities and Maintenance

 

Maintenance and race set up is an ongoing effort in auto racing. Mr. O'Connell manages the staff of independent technicians to maintain a regular schedule updates and changes to back up parts and various pit equipment needed at racing events. Our race cars are managed for racing from a facility in Thomasville, North Carolina owned by Rick Ware, a shareholder. In January of 2017 we entered into a lease for warehouse space at110 Sunrise Center Drive, Thomasville, NC for a three-year term for which we committed to issue 1,200,000 common shares at $0.15 per share to Rick Ware Racing, LLC.

 

There can be no assurance that our vehicles will be competitive or qualify for each, or any sanctioned event entered. If we are not as successful competitively, we could have a more difficult time attracting and maintaining advertisers, drivers and crews which in turn could impact our ability to attract and maintain advertisers. We will compete with well-established teams and there can be no assurance that we will be able to create or maintain a competitive position. In addition, there are relatively low barriers to entry into these markets and we expect to continue to face competition from new entrants into these same markets. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in these markets.

 

Employees

 

As of March 15, 2018, we had no full-time employees. Our only employees consist of 2 management personnel, all of whom devote 25% or less of their time to our business affairs. We intend to hire full time employees when and if we have the financial resources to do so. Until such time as we are in a position to hire full time employees, we will hire independent contractors to perform work for us on an as needed basis. None of our employees are represented by a labor union or a collective bargaining agreement. We consider our relations with our Management employees to be good. 

 

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

 

We are an “Emerging Growth Company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2013, or the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. 

 

We could remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (a) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (b) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (c) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period.

 

We are also considered a "smaller reporting company," If we are still considered a "smaller reporting company" at such time as we cease to be an "emerging growth company," we will be subject to increased disclosure requirements. However, the disclosure requirements will still be less than they would be if we were not considered either an "emerging growth company" or a "smaller reporting company."

ITEM 1A

 

RISK FACTORS

 

There are many important factors that have affected, and in the future could affect our business, including, but not limited to the factors discussed below, which should be reviewed carefully together with other information contained in this report. Some of the factors are beyond our control and future trends are difficult to predict. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed and the value of our stock could go down. Other factors not identified herein could also have such an effect.

 

We have a limited operating history, with historical losses.

 

We have a short operating history and must be considered to be in the development stage. We have no history of earnings or profits and there is no assurance that we will operate profitably in the future. There is no meaningful historical financial data upon which to base planned operating expenses. As a result of this limited operating history, it is difficult to accurately forecast our potential revenue. We intend to use race cars to market and promote the services of potential clients. We contemplate that we will further develop our racing operations into which we will reinvest all profits, if any, into the Company.

 

We estimate that for the 12 months ending December 31, 2018, the cost of operating the business will require additional capital of a minimum of three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) and there can be no assurance that any or all of that additional capital will be available to the Company.

 

Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt as to whether our Company can continue as a going concern.

 

We have generated only limited revenues since our inception and have incurred substantial losses. Our business plans estimate that we will need to raise $300,000 in additional capital to fund our operations through December 31, 2018 and there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise any or all of the capital required. These factors indicate that we may be unable to continue as a going concern, particularly in the event that we cannot generate sufficient cash flow or raise sufficient capital to conduct our operations. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments to the value of our assets or the classification of our liabilities that might result if we would be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Our existing principal stockholders exercise control of our Company.

 

Kevin O'Connell is the Managing Member of (a) GPP, (b) Devcap, (c) Revete, and (d) Continental. Together, Mr. O'Connell and GPP, Devcap, Revete, and Continental own 79.9% of our outstanding common shares.

 

In addition, GPP has established a line of credit of $600,000. The receipt of funds from this line of credit is subject to the approval of Mr. O'Connell. As of December 31, 2017 there was $477,836 available on this Line of Credit. The terms of the line of credit contains annualized interest of 8%, quarterly interest payments paid by the Company on outstanding balances and requires a maximum quarterly draw down on the line of $100,000 per quarter. Mr. O'Connell may have a conflict of interest should we determine to draw upon the line of credit. He will have to determine, as the Managing Member of GPP, whether it is in the best interest of GPP to approve or decline the "draw down" or, as our controlling shareholder, it is in our best interest to approve the draw down.

 

Further, Mr. O’Connell, will be able to determine the election of directors and all other matters subject to stockholder votes. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company, even if this change in control would benefit stockholders.

We must enter into and maintain a good working relationship with the NASCAR, IMSA and SVRA as well as other sanctioning bodies relevant to our business.

 

To be successful, we must create and maintain a good working relationship with the sanctioning body of our racing events we participate in with NASCAR, IMSA, and SVRA being of most importance. Without a good relationship with the sanctioning bodies, they may, at their sole discretion disallow our company and clients from competing in any or all of their sanctioned events for an indefinite period of time. We do not have any continuing contractual relationship with these sanctioning bodies and may not be able to enter into any agreements to participate in racing events on terms acceptable to us.

 

Our racecars are subject to changes in technology and competitiveness.

 

Our competition vehicles contain current technologies that may cease to be legal or competitive as the rules, and regulations of NASCAR, IMSA and SVRA are modified and technologies are updated. Additionally, governing sanctioning bodies are expected to regularly hold discussions with the manufacturers and competitors regarding implementing updated models and technologies that may have an adverse effect on our Company. To the extent that sanctioning bodies may change their rules and regulations so that our racecars do not comply with the changed rules or regulations, our business will be adversely affected.

  

Our racing operations face competition for marketing and advertising dollars.

 

We compete for marketing and advertising dollars with other motorsports teams and with sports such as football, baseball, basketball, hockey, tennis and golf and with other entertainment and recreational activities. In the event that fan interest in motorsports declines motorsports might not be as attractive to the potential clients, which could have an adverse effect on our operations.

 

There can be no assurance that our team will be competitive or qualify for each, or any NASCAR, IMSA or SVRA sanctioned event entered. Qualification, by speed trial racing in NASCAR races, is only required in special events. IMSA sanctioned events are not limited by qualifying, but rather may be limited by the racing venue and the size of the paddocks that would be used to support the race cars and teams before, during and after the racing events. If we are not successful competitively, we could have a more difficult time attracting and maintaining clients, quality drivers and crews which in turn could impact our ability to attract production, marketing and advertising dollars. We compete with well-established teams and there can be no assurance that we will be able to create or maintain a competitive position.

 

We may not be able to lease or obtain certain race cars as needed for specific events.

 

Our ability to compete in race events is contingent upon our ability to configure our owned vehicles, or lease vehicles for specific series when needed. There can be no assurance that our vehicles will be able meet specifications for a race series we would intend to enter or that we would be able to lease a suitable race vehicle when needed or be able to negotiate a lease fee that we deem reasonable.

 

The success of our operations will be dependent upon the success of our racing team.

 

Our ability to fully implement our business plan and the success of our operations will be dependent upon the success of our racing team. If our racing team fails to qualify for races or finishes poorly in races on a regular basis, the success of our operations will be adversely impacted. Racing teams that fail to qualify for events cannot generate any purse revenue and may experience a reduction in fan and advertisers interest. We believe that if we win, or finish within the top 10 finishing places in a race, our ability to attract advertisers will be enhanced. However, our past record of sporadic "Top 20" finishing places has diminished our ability to attract advertisers. There can be no assurance that we will win or compete successfully in any event.

 

In racing events that we determined to enter, we have always qualified to race. However, we have finished poorly in these events and have not received any purse money if finishing positions fall outside of the top 30 places. A low finishing position for any event may or may not be a direct result of the team’s activities and efforts, and all racing teams in competition face the same uncertain results. There can be no assurance that we will win any purse money and the denomination of such purse money could have any effect upon our ability to fund our operations.

 

 

 

 10 

 

 

We may incur liability for personal injuries.

 

Racing events can be dangerous to participants and to spectators. We maintain insurance policies that provide coverage within limits that in our judgment are sufficient to protect us from material financial loss due to liability for personal injuries sustained by, or death of, our personnel or spectators in the ordinary course of our business. Our insurance may not be adequate or available at all times and in all circumstances. In the event that damages for injuries sustained by our participants or spectators exceed our liability coverage or the insurance company denies coverage, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected to the extent claims and associated expenses exceed insurance recoveries.

 

We do not have total loss insurance for the racecars we own.

 

Due to the high cost of property damage insurance, we have chosen not to carry total loss insurance for the racecars we lease or own. In the event of a loss occurrence, we may lose or be liable for as much as the total value of the racecar which is damaged. The loss could be as much as $250,000, which would be a material loss to us and could cause us to cease operations.

 

We have only recently sought advertising revenue and we may not be able to attract and maintain advertisers as a source of revenues.

 

We have limited advertising revenue since our inception in 2007 and we may not be able to attract and maintain advertisers as a source of revenues. Further, our ability to attract advertising clients will be a significant factor in our success or failure.

 

We will need additional financing, which may not be available.

 

Our future success will depend on our ability to raise additional funds and our ability to raise future advertising money, which includes attracting advertisers or funded drivers for our racing teams. No commitments to provide additional funds have been made by management and no agreements with advertisers or funded drivers have been entered into. Our ability to arrange financing in the future will depend in part upon the prevailing capital market conditions, as well as our business performance. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to arrange additional financing on satisfactory terms. If additional financing is raised by the issuance of our shares, control of the Company may change and stockholders may suffer additional dilution. If adequate funds are not available, or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of opportunities, or otherwise respond to competitive pressures and remain in business.

 

We are dependent on our key personnel.

 

Our success will depend in large part upon the continued services of Mr. Kevin P. O'Connell, who presently devotes only 25% or less of his time to our business. The death or loss of Mr. O'Connell would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We do not have key man life insurance on Mr. O'Connell.

 

We face significant racing competition.

 

We principally compete for clients and purses with other motorsports teams and advertising and public relations companies. In addition, there are relatively low barriers to entry into these markets and we expect to continue to face competition from new entrants into these same markets. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in these markets.

 

We have additional costs for being a small, public reporting company.

 

We are a fully reporting and publicly traded company, and as such, incur additional non-operating costs associated with being a public company. Additionally, we have a management team that is inexperienced in managing publicly traded companies.

 

There is no active trading market for our common stock and if a market for our common stock does not develop, our investors will be unable to sell their shares.

 

There currently is no trading market for our stock. While we have utilized a marker maker to obtain a quotation on the OTC Markets. We cannot assure you that a public market will ever develop. Furthermore, you will likely not be able to sell your securities if a regular trading market for our securities does not develop and we cannot predict the extent, if any, to which investor interest will lead to the development of a viable trading market in our shares. We expect the initial market for our stock to be limited, if a market develops at all. Even if a limited trading market does develop, there is a risk that the absence of potential buyers will prevent you from selling your shares if you determine to reduce or eliminate your investment. Additionally, the offering price of $0.15 share may not reflect the current value of our shares.

 

 

 

 11 

 

 

Because we do not intend to pay any dividends on our common shares, investors seeking dividend income or liquidity should not purchase shares in this offering.

 

We do not currently anticipate declaring and paying dividends to our shareholders in the near future. It is our current intention to apply net earnings, if any, in the foreseeable future to increasing our working capital. Prospective investors seeking or needing dividend income or liquidity should, therefore, not purchase our common stock. There can be no assurance that we will ever have sufficient earnings to declare and pay dividends to the holders of our shares, and in any event, a decision to declare and pay dividends is at the sole discretion of our board of directors, who currently do not intend to pay any dividends on our common shares for the foreseeable future.

 

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock into the public market by the selling stockholders may result in significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock and may affect the ability of our stockholders to realize any trading price of our common stock when and if a trading market develops for our common stock.

 

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could cause a reduction in the market price of our common stock, when and if such market develops. When this registration statement is declared effective, the selling stockholders may be reselling up to 30% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result of such registration statement, a substantial number of our shares of common stock which have been issued may be available for immediate resale when and if a market develops for our common stock, which could have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock. As a result of any such decreases in price of our common stock, purchasers who acquire shares from the selling stockholders may lose some or all of their investment.

 

Any significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock as the selling stockholders sell the shares of our common stock could encourage short sales by the selling stockholders or others. Any such short sales could place further downward pressure on the price of our common stock. 

  

Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC's penny stock regulations which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors". The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

 

Risk Factors Related to the JOBS Act

 

We are an ‘Emerging Growth Company” and we intend to take advantage of reduced disclosure and governance requirements applicable to Emerging Growth Companies, which could result in our stock being less attractive to investors.

 

We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, which we refer to as the JOBS Act, and we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile. We expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company, which in certain circumstances could be for up to five years.

 

 

 

 12 

 

 

The Company’s election to take advantage of the jobs act’s extended accounting transition period may not make its financial statements easily comparable to other companies.

 

Pursuant to the JOBS Act of 2012, as an emerging growth company the Company can elect to take advantage of the extended transition period for any new or revised accounting standards that may be issued by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") or the Securities & Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company has elected take advantage of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the standard on the private company timeframe. This may make comparison of the Company's financial statements with any other public company which is not either an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible as possible different or revised standards may be used.

  

The Jobs Act will also allow the Company to postpone the date by which it must comply with certain laws and regulations intended to protect investors and reduce the amount of information provided in reports filed with the

 

The JOBS Act is intended to reduce the regulatory burden on “emerging growth companies. The Company meets the definition of an emerging growth company and so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company,” it will, among other things:

 

be exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that its independent registered public accounting firm provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting.

 

be exempt from the "say on pay" provisions (requiring a non-binding shareholder vote to approve compensation of certain executive officers) and the "say on golden parachute" provisions (requiring a non-binding shareholder vote to approve golden parachute arrangements for certain executive officers in connection with mergers and certain other business combinations) of the Dodd-Frank Act and certain disclosure requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act relating to compensation of its chief executive officer;

 

be permitted to omit the detailed compensation discussion and analysis from proxy statements and reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and instead provide a reduced level of disclosure concerning executive compensation; and

 

be exempt from any rules that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report on the financial statements

 

The Company currently intends to take advantage of some or all of the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements that will be available to it so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company”.

 

As long as the Company qualifies as an Emerging Growth Company, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to attest to the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 


Because the Company has elected to take advantage of the extended time periods for compliance with new or revised accounting standards provided for under Section 102(b) of the JOBS Act, among other things, this means that the Company's independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting so long as it qualifies as an emerging growth company, which may increase the risk that weaknesses or deficiencies in the internal control over financial reporting go undetected. Likewise, so long as it qualifies as an emerging growth company, the Company may elect not to provide certain information, including certain financial information and certain information regarding compensation of executive officers that would otherwise have been required to provide in filings with the SEC, which may make it more difficult for investors and securities analysts to evaluate the Company. As a result, investor confidence in the Company and the market price of its common stock may be adversely affected.

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this annual report. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the “Risk Factors”, “Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Description of Business” sections and elsewhere in this annual report. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Although we believe the expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions within the bound of our knowledge of our business, our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these statements. Factors that could contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of this report. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future.

 

In addition to historical information, this Annual Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, risks and uncertainties, including the risk factors set forth in Item 1A. above and the risk factors set forth in this Annual Report. Generally, the words “anticipate”, “expect”, “intend”, “believe” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements made in this Annual Report are made as of the filing date of this Annual Report with the SEC, and future events or circumstances could cause results that differ significantly from the forward-looking statements included here. Accordingly, we caution readers not to place undue reliance on these statements. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or alter our forward-looking statements, whether, as a result of new information, future events or otherwise after the date of this document.

 

Not applicable.

 

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

 

Overview

 

This section contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date that they are made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included herein.

 

We are a small auto competition and event management business that has participated primarily in NASCAR and IMSA sanctioned events.  We utilize our racecars to provide marketing and branding services to client advertisers desiring to use our racecars to market their product or service by having our vehicles carry their corporate brand. We have conducted limited operations to date.

 

Election under JOBS Act of 2012

 

The Company has chosen to opt-in and make use of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act of 2012. This election is irrevocable. If we choose to adopt any accounting standard on the public company time frame we would be required to adopt all subsequent accounting standards on the public company time frame.

Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act

 

In April, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act ("JOBS Act") was enacted into law. The JOBS Act provides, among other things:

 

Exemptions for emerging growth companies from certain financial disclosure and governance requirements for up to five years and provides a new form of financing to small companies;

 

Amendments to certain provisions of the federal securities laws to simplify the sale of securities and increase the threshold number of record holders required to trigger the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;

 

Relaxation of the general solicitation and general advertising prohibition for Rule 506 offerings; 

 

Adoption of a new exemption for public offerings of securities in amounts not exceeding $50 million; and Exemption from registration by a non-reporting company of offers and sales of securities of up to $1,000,000 that comply with rules to be adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 4(6) of the Securities Act and exemption of such sales from state law registration, documentation or offering requirements.

 

In general, under the JOBS Act a company is an emerging growth company if its initial public offering ("IPO") of common equity securities was affected after December 8, 2011 and the company had less than $1 billion of total annual gross revenues during its last completed fiscal year. A company will no longer qualify as an emerging growth company after the earliest of:

 

(i) The completion of the fiscal year in which the company has total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more;
   
(ii) The completion of the fiscal year of the fifth anniversary of the company's IPO;
   
(iii) The company's issuance of more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt in the prior three-year period; or
   
(iv) The company becoming a "larger accelerated filer" as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

The JOBS Act provides additional new guidelines and exemptions for non-reporting companies and for non-public offerings. Those exemptions that impact the Company are discussed below.

 

Financial Disclosure. The financial disclosure in a registration statement filed by an emerging growth company pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 will differ from registration statements filed by other companies as follows:

 

(i) Audited financial statements required for only two fiscal years;

 

(ii) Selected financial data required for only the fiscal years that were audited;

 

(iii) Executive compensation only needs to be presented in the limited format now required for smaller reporting companies. (A smaller reporting company is one with a public float of less than $75 million as of the last day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter)

 

However, the requirements for financial disclosure provided by Regulation S-K promulgated by the Rules and Regulations of the SEC already provide certain of these exemptions for smaller reporting companies. The Company is a smaller reporting company. Currently a smaller reporting company is not required to file as part of its registration statement selected financial data and only needs audited financial statements for its two most current fiscal years and no tabular disclosure of contractual obligations.

 

 

 

 17 

 

 

The JOBS Act also exempts the Company's independent registered public accounting firm from complying with any rules adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") after the date of the JOBS Act's enactment, except as otherwise required by SEC rule.

 

The JOBS Act also exempts an emerging growth company from any requirement adopted by the PCAOB for mandatory rotation of the Company's accounting firm or for a supplemental auditor report about the audit.

 

Internal Control Attestation. The JOBS Act also provides an exemption from the requirement of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm to file a report on the Company's internal control over financial reporting, although management of the Company is still required to file its report on the adequacy of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

 

Section 102(a) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from the requirements in §14A(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for companies with a class of securities registered under the 1934 Act to hold shareholder votes for executive compensation and golden parachutes.

 

Other Items of the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can communicate with potential investors that are qualified institutional buyers or institutions that are accredited to determine interest in a contemplated offering either prior to or after the date of filing the respective registration statement. The Act also permits research reports by a broker or dealer about an emerging growth company regardless if such report provides sufficient information for an investment decision. In addition the JOBS Act precludes the SEC and FINRA from adopting certain restrictive rules or regulations regarding brokers, dealers and potential investors, communications with management and distribution of a research reports on the emerging growth company IPO. 

 

Section 106 of the JOBS Act permits emerging growth companies to submit 1933 Act registration statements on a confidential basis provided that the registration statement and all amendments are publicly filed at least 21 days before the issuer conducts any road show. This is intended to allow the emerging growth company to explore the IPO option without disclosing to the market the fact that it is seeking to go public or disclosing the information contained in its registration statement until the company is ready to conduct a roadshow.

 

Election to Opt Out of Transition Period. Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a 1933 Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the 1934 Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standard.

 

The JOBS Act provides a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of the transition period and will “opt-in” and make use of the transitional period.

 

Off-balance sheet arrangements

 

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect or change on the Company’s financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with the Company is a party, under which the Company has (i) any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest; or (ii) a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Certain of these significant accounting policies are considered to be critical accounting policies, as defined below.

 

 

 

 18 

 

 

A critical accounting policy is defined as one that is both material to the presentation of our financial statements and requires management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments that could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Specifically, critical accounting estimates have the following attributes: 1) we are required to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time of the estimate; and 2) different estimates we could reasonably have used, or changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, would have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

 

Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. These changes have historically been minor and have been included in the consolidated financial statements as soon as they became known. Based on a critical assessment of our accounting policies and the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, management believes that our consolidated financial statements are fairly stated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and present a meaningful presentation of our financial condition and results of operations. We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

 

Use of Estimates – These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and, accordingly, require 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

 

Cash and Equivalents – We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses in such account. 

 

Revenue Recognition – The Company follows paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company will recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

The majority of revenues are from consulting services provided at events which range from one day to one week in length. The revenues from these events are recognized upon completion of the contracted services. In the event that the Company’s revenues are for services provided under contracts greater than one month in length, the contracts will be billed in total at the onset of the contact period, and to the extent that billings exceed revenue earned, the Company will record such amount as deferred revenue until the revenue is earned. We recognize revenue on these contracts in the period the services are provided under the contract. Expenses associated with providing the services are recognized in the period the services are provided which coincides with when the revenue is earned.

 

Property and equipment – Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated under the straight line method over each item's estimated useful life. The Company uses a 5 year life for racecars and equipment, 7 years for furniture and fixtures.

 

Intangible and Long-Lived Assets – We follow FASB ASC 360-10-35 which has established a "primary asset" approach to determine the cash flow estimation period for a group of assets and liabilities that represents the unit of accounting for a long lived asset to be held and used. Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, no impairment losses were recognized.

 

 

 

 19 

 

 

Stock Based Compensation – We recognize expenses for stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance with provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 714. Accordingly, compensation cost is recognized for the estimated fair value of the stock at the grant date. For equity instruments issued to non-employees, the estimated fair value of the equity instrument is recorded on the earlier of the performance commitment date or the date the services required are completed.

 

Plan of Operations

 

RC-1, Inc. (the “Company”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 14, 2009. The Company is a motorsports marketing business focused primary in road racing events in North America utilizing NASCAR type competition equipment. The Company is currently considered to be in the development stage, and has generated only limited revenues from its activities in the racing business.

 

We will continue to focus in “Road Racing” motorsports events organized by several motorsports sanctioning bodies such as The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing ("NASCAR"), and The International Motorsports Association ("IMSA") and the Sports Car Vintage Racing Association (SVRA).

 

In addition, we intend to continue to compete in the Toyota Southwest Superlate Model Series, SVRA and the GAAS series in an effort to promote our business and brand in the western United States.

 

Going Concern

 

As of December 31, 2017, RC-1, Inc. had an accumulated deficit of $3,149,308. Also, during the year ended December 31, 2017, we used net cash of $45,558 for operating activities. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Management expects to raise $300,000 in capital through the issuance of debt and equity and believes it will be able to raise sufficient capital over the next twelve months to finance operations. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in this regard or will be able to eliminate its operating losses. The accompanying financial statements do not contain any adjustments which may be required as a result of this uncertainty.

 

Management estimates for the cost of operating the business through March 31, 2018 will require additional capital of up to Three Hundred Thousand dollars ($300,000) consisting of: $20,000 for registration and licenses required for entry in sanctioned racing events; $20,000 for travel and lodging; $20,000 for marketing and branding; $30,000 for legal and accounting; $15,000 for engineers and consultants; $15,000 for parts, $90,000 for engine and transmission leases. $50,000 for fuels and tires; $10,000 for racecar transporter travel; $20,000 for debt service of all Company notes payable; and $10,000 in airfare and rental cars.

 

The Company has no outstanding payments due for the lease of race cars at this time.

 

The Company intends to hold discussions with existing shareholders, new prospective shareholders and various lenders in pursuing the capital we need for the upcoming twelve months of operations. Additionally, the Company may elect to draw down additional proceeds from its line of credit with General Pacific Partners, LLC and TVP Investments, LLC, Inc. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise any additional equity or debt capital.

 

The Company’s capital requirements consist of general working capital needs, scheduled principal and interest payments on debt when required, obligations, and capital expenditures. The Company’s capital resources consist primarily of cash generated from proceeds through the issuances of common stock. At December 31,2017, the company had cash of approximately $60,350.

In the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we had revenues in the amounts of $155,000 and $15,000 respectively, which was an increase of $140,000. The Company earned all of its $15,000 in revenues in 2016 from related party NASCAR consulting services. In 2017, related party revenue of $155,000 was earned for consulting fees and sponsorships. The Company provided consulting services to a race team competing in a NASCAR race event. Services included management of pit crew, communications with driver, and coordinating supplies and equipment rendered to a related party to support a race team.

ITEM 9A – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) 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.

 

We recognize that because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 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 and procedures may deteriorate.

 

Management of the Company conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on the framework in Internal Control —Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the "COSO II Framework"). Based on management's assessment in accordance with the criteria in the COSO II Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2017.

 

Management is aware of the following material weaknesses (a material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis) in the Company's internal control over financial reporting:

 

Control Environment

 

Inadequate Policies and Procedures: Based on management's review of key accounting policies and procedures, our management determined that such policies and procedures were inadequate as of December 31, 2017. Management identified certain policies and procedures as inadequate regarding the design of the control and formal written documentation.

 

Segregation of Duties: We did not maintain adequate segregation of duties related to job responsibilities for initiating, authorizing, and recording of certain transactions as of December 31, 2017 due to the small size of our accounting teams. We do not have sufficient personnel to provide adequate risk assessment functions.

 

An effective audit committee working closely with the executive management team mitigates the risks that significant transactions are entered into without approval by those charged with governance. We currently have not established an audit committee.

 

Control Activities

 

Testing of Internal Controls: The Company's accounting staff is relatively small and the Company does not have all the required infrastructure for meeting the demands of being a U.S. publicly reporting company. As a result we have identified deficiencies in our internal controls within our key business processes, particularly with respect to the design of quarterly accounting, financial statements close, consolidation, and external financial reporting procedures. Management believes there are entity level controls that are effective within our key business processes. However, certain of these processes could not be formally tested because of lack of documentation and/or process design details.

 

Information and Communication Monitoring

 

Internal Control Monitoring: As a result of our limited financial personnel and ineffective controls (both preventative and detective) management's ability to monitor the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls is limited. Accordingly, management's ability to timely detect, prevent and remediate deficiencies and potential fraud risks is inadequate.

 

These material weaknesses impede the ability of management to adequately oversee our internal control over financial reporting on a timely basis. Management intends to continue focusing its remediation efforts in the near term on providing best practices training to our audit committee. In addition, we will endeavor to design revised accounting and financial reporting policies and procedures that will help ensure that adequate internal controls over financial reporting are met. Additionally, these revised procedures will be formally documented and procedures will focus on transaction processing, period-end account analyses and additional review and monitoring procedures. We plan to periodically assess the need for additional accounting resources as business develops and resources permit. Management also is committed to taking further action by implementing enhancements or improvements as resources permit. Notwithstanding the material weaknesses discussed above, our management has concluded that the financial statements included in this Report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered independent public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered independent public accounting firm.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

No changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the year ended December 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Director Independence

 

Our board of directors is currently composed of one member, who does not qualify as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our sole director has made a subjective determination that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our sole director, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Long Term Incentive Awards

 

Option Grants in Last Fiscal Year

 

We did not award options to our executive officers in 2016 and 2017 under any incentive plans.

 

Aggregate Option Exercises in Last Fiscal Year and Fiscal Year End Option Values

 

There have been no option exercises by our executive officers from inception to December 31, 2017.

 

Employment Contract and Termination of Employment Agreements

 

We have no employment agreements with any officers or employees.

 

Limitations on liability and indemnification of officers and directors

 

Our certificate of incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada Revised Statutes. Our certificate of incorporation also provides that we must indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law and advance expenses to our directors and officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, subject to certain exceptions. We are in the process of obtaining directors’ and officers’ insurance for our directors, officers and some employees for specified liabilities.

 

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our certificate of incorporation may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. They may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action of this kind, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. However, we believe that these indemnification provisions are necessary to attract and retain qualified directors and officers.

 

SEC Policy on Indemnification

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

Long Term Incentive Plans

 

There are no long term -incentive plans.

 

ITEM 13 – CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, and DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

 

On January 1, 2015, the Company extended for three years a previous consulting agreement with GPP, a company owned and operated by Kevin O'Connell, our Chief Executive Officer and Sole Director, to provide consulting services in the motor sports marketing industry. The consulting agreement requires a $5,000 monthly fee and can be terminated by either party pursuant to a 60-day notice. As of December 31, 2017, and 2016, the Company had an accrued payable balance due to this related party of $30,000 and $180,000 respectively.

 

On October 1, 2009, the Company entered into a line of credit agreement for up to $600,000 with GPP, Under the agreement, the Company receives operating fund advances and reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company. The loan bears interest at eight percent (8%) per annum. Interest for this line of credit has been waived by the lender. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company owed $122,164 and $183,164, respectively, in operating advances to GPP. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had accrued interest on this line of credit in the amounts of $28,026 and $18,354, respectively.

On August 5, 2013, the Company entered into a line of credit agreement for up to $300,000 with a Devcap, a company owned and operated by Kevin O'Connell, our Chief Executive Officer and Sole Director. The 8% line of credit was increased to $500K on January 1, 2016. Under the agreement, the Company receives operating fund advances and reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company. As of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company owed $49,647 and $332,647, respectively, in operating advances to this related party. As of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had accrued interest on this line of credit in the amounts of $79,708 and $67,040, respectively.

 

Conflicts of Interest

 

Each officer and director is, so long as she or he is an officer or director, subject to the restriction that all opportunities contemplated by our plan of operation that come to his attention, either in the performance of his duties or in any other manner, will be considered opportunities of, and be made available to us and the companies that he is affiliated with on an equal basis. A breach of this requirement will be a breach of the fiduciary duties of the officer or director. If we or the companies to which the officer or director is affiliated each desire to take advantage of an opportunity, then the applicable officer or director would abstain from negotiating and voting upon the opportunity. However, the officer or director may still take advantage of opportunities if we should decline to do so. Except as set forth above, we have not adopted any other conflict of interest policy in connection with these types of transactions.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors

RC-1, Inc.

Thomasville, North Carolina

 

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of RC-1, Inc. (the Company) at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has minimal revenues, sustained recurring losses from operations and increased accumulated deficits since inception. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2017.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation

 

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

  

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash with a commercial bank. The deposits are made with a reputable financial institution and the Company does not anticipate realizing any losses from these deposits.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are recognized net of allowances for doubtful accounts, based on historical experience and other available evidence. Accounts receivable are written off when management determines they are uncollectible. The Company wrote off $15,000 of related party receivable during 2017.

 

Property and equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated under the straight line method over each item's estimated useful life. The Company uses a 5 year life for racecars and equipment, 7 years for furniture and fixtures.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment” which establishes the accounting for impairment of long-lived tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill, the Company reviews for impairment when facts or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used may not be recoverable. If such facts or circumstances are determined to exist, an estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows produced by the long-lived asset, or the appropriate grouping of assets, is compared to the carrying value to determine whether impairment exists. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured based on various valuation techniques, including the discounted value of estimated future cash flows. The Company reports impairment cost as a charge to operations at the time it is identified. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 the Company determined that there was no impairment of long-lived assets.

 

 

 

 F-7 

 

 

Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with the requirements of FASB ASC 825 “Financial Instruments”. The carrying values of its accounts payable, note payable (current portion), line of credit, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company follows paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company will recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

The majority of revenues are from consulting services provided at events which range from one day to one week in length. The Company also earns revenues from entering their race cars into events whereby there is a money purse for finishing positions. The revenues from these events are recognized upon completion of the contracted services. In the event that the Company’s revenues are for services provided under contracts greater than one month in length, the contracts will be billed in total at the onset of the contact period, and to the extent that billings exceed revenue earned, the Company will record such amount as deferred revenue until the revenue is earned. Recognize revenue on these contracts in the period the services are provided under the contract. Expenses associated with providing the services are recognized in the period the services are provided which coincides with when the revenue is earned.

 

Income tax

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Under FASB ASC 740 deferred income taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax expense for the period, if any, and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

FASB ASC 740 also provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. Under FASB ASC 740, the impact of an uncertain tax position on the income tax return may only be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no unrecognized tax benefits.

 

Net income (loss) per share

 

The Company utilizes FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include additional common share equivalents available upon exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. Dilutive common share equivalents include the dilutive effect of in-the-money share equivalents, which are calculated based on the average share price for each period using the treasury stock method, excluding any common share equivalents if their effect would be anti-dilutive For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding.

 

Products and services, geographic areas and major customers

 

The Company earns revenue from race purses, race event consulting and the occasional sale of racecars, but does not separate sales from different activities into operating segments.

Concentrations of debt financing

 

The Company has line of credit agreements with companies owned and operated by the Company’s CEO and majority shareholder. See Note 7 for further discussion of line of credit terms and relationships.

 

Stock based compensation

 

The Company accounts for employee and non-employee stock awards under FASB ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, whereby equity instruments issued to employees for services are recorded based on the fair value of the instrument issued and those issued to non-employees are recorded based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument, whichever is more reliably measurable.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if adopted, will have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN

 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations, and the Company’s ability to raise additional capital as required.

  

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

NOTE 8. INCOME TAXES

 

The following table presents the current and deferred income tax provision (benefit) for federal and state income taxes:

 

   2017   2016 
Current tax provision:          
Federal  $   $ 
           
Deferred tax provision (benefit):          
Federal   (868)   (16,541)
Change in valuation allowance   868    16,541 
           
Total provision for income tax  $   $ 

 

Current income taxes are based upon the year’s income taxable for federal and state tax reporting purposes. Deferred income taxes (benefits) are provided for certain income and expenses, which are recognized in different periods for tax and financial reporting purposes.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the period in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. The Company’s deferred income taxes arise from the temporary differences between financial statement and income tax recognition of net operating losses. These loss carryovers would be limited under the Internal Revenue Code should a significant change in ownership occur within a three-year period. In 2017 and 2016, the Company’s tax losses were reduced by accrued expenses to related parties which are not recognized for tax purposes until paid and differences in depreciation reported on the financial statements and amounts allowed for tax purposes.

 

At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1,741,494 and $1,737,363 respectively, which begin to expire in 2029. The deferred tax assets arising from the net operating loss carryforwards are approximately $264,435 and $260,604 as of December 31, 2017, and 2016, respectively. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, the projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on management’s analysis, they concluded not to retain a deferred tax asset since it is uncertain whether the Company can utilize this asset in future periods. Therefore, they have established a full reserve against this asset. The change in the valuation allowance in 2017 and 2016 was approximately $868 and $16,541, respectively.

 

 

 

 F-11 

 

 

A reconciliation of the expected tax computed at the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate to the total benefit for income taxes at December 31, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:

  

   2017   2016 
Expected tax at 21% (2017) and 15% (2016)  $(868)  $(16,541)
Change in valuation allowance   868    16,541 
Provision for income taxes  $   $ 

 

The Company’s continuing practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2017, and 2016, the Company had no accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

 

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. The state of Nevada does not impose an income tax on corporations. Tax years for 2009 and forward are subject to examination by tax authorities. The Company is not currently under examination by any tax authority.

 

Management has evaluated tax positions in accordance with FASB ASC 740, and has not identified any tax positions, other than those discussed above, that require disclosure.
