Item 1, Business

 

On November 12, 2015 Bare Metal Standard (“Bare Metal”, “BMS” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Idaho as a corporation capitalizing on the current growth in commercial kitchen. With the core competency of servicing commercial kitchen grease exhaust systems the Company’s strategy is to leverage this required service to capture a national footprint of commercial kitchen customers through the franchise model of their Bare Metal Standard brand. The Company is focused exclusively on the restaurant industry and specifically the engine that drives this business the commercial kitchen. The Company seeks to develop synergistic services required by commercial kitchens to keep them Safe, Health and Efficient. The Company views the market in three customer categories; a. Healthcare, b. Institutional and c. Restaurants.  

 

Bare Metal Standard provides franchise opportunities in the services of commercial kitchen grease exhaust systems (GES).

 

Bare Metal Standard supports all its franchises through a centralized workflow system named Shifts Software that the company created and owns.  This application is capable of managing hundreds of franchisees and thousands of customer locations.  The workflow system exists on redundant servers throughout the USA to ensure connectivity. The company purchases consumables to leverage its buying power and maintain its uniformity. Our franchisees will purchase, directly from us, to maintain the same quality products and uniformity in our cleaning process.

 

The Company’s business model comes from the traditional franchise model that has proven to be successful for many service focused offerings.  The primary value of our business model is to leverage the knowledge, capital and passion, equipment and processes to build a national brand to deliver a consistent level of services throughout the United States and beyond. Once we are operational with clients the business model is secure with recurring revenue from the required service (by code NFPA 96) on a quarterly basis (quarterly is typical, some potential customers are monthly, every 2, 4, 6 months to a few who go annually). The NFPA (National Fire Protection Associations) guidelines are adopted by insurance companies and local fire departments for the safety of the public. It has become mandatory for industrial kitchens to maintain a monthly, quarterly or semiannual cleaning schedule depending on what they cook.   A barbecue restaurant would be required to clean their hoods monthly compared to a nursing homes semiannual cleaning. Local authority departments monitor these schedules with onsite inspections. Our mission is to transform this business sector into a rationalized national brand that will have the strength to expand throughout the United States and beyond.

 

Our principal service is providing support and training for our franchisees helping them to become successful utilizing our proven track record. We do not own any patents or trademarks but we are licensed in the appropriate states that we offer under the franchising laws of that State.

 

We are registered in all the States in the United States to sell and operate our franchises except the following 10 States;

 

California Hawaii Illinois  
Maryland Michigan New York  
North Dakota South Dakota Rhode Island  
Wisconsin      

 

We intend to register in the remaining States as needed.

We have entered into an agreement with Taylor Brothers Inc. (a company with common officers and shareholders) to use three of their offices. The rent will be $5,000 per month, when Bare Metal Standard completes required funding to support ongoing operations.

 

 On March 1, 2017, we entered into a management agreement with Taylor Brothers Holdings Inc. “Taylor Brothers” or Taylor Brothers Holdings”, which is an operating company and has common majority shareholders and directors. The officers and directors of Bare Metal Standard were officers and directors of Taylor Brothers. James Bedal and Mike Taylor have resigned their positions with Taylor Brothers and work full time for Bare Metal Standard. The agreement term has no expiration and can be terminated by the Company at any time with written notice to the other partner. As a result of the management agreement, Bare Metal is to provide, on behalf of Taylor Brothers, certain management services, having full authorization, on behalf of Taylor Brothers to provide all the services and all the activities, normally provided by Taylor Brothers, under the Taylor Brothers franchise agreements, previously entered into by Taylor Brothers and the franchisees Bare Metal became responsible for servicing franchisee agreements and receiving 100% of the revenues associated with those agreements assumed for the support and maintenance of the preexisting franchise agreements of Taylor Brothers Holdings franchisees as Taylor Brothers Holdings has ceased selling franchises. Bare Metal is due all collections from franchisees. Bare Metal Standard assumed the business operations of the existing franchise agreements while potential liabilities arising from said agreements will remain with Taylor Brothers. Additionally, on November 1, 2017 Bare Metal, entered into a royalty free license agreement with Taylor Brothers Holdings Inc. with the right to sublease, the use of Trade Name Bare Metal Standard and related industry know-how including proprietary software in exchange for a monthly fee of $2,000 paid in arrears. As a result of the above transactions with Taylor Brothers Holdings Inc., under Regulation S-X for reporting purposes Taylor Brother Holdings Inc. is considered a business. Thus, Taylor Brothers Holdings Inc. is viewed as Predecessor entity for reporting purposes, and Bare Metal is viewed as a Successor entity. For purposes of the following discussion, we compare the combined results of Bare Metal Standard Inc. for the eight months ended October 31, 2017 and Taylor Brothers Holdings for the four months ended February 28, 2017, to the results of Taylor Brothers Holdings Inc. for the 12 months ended October 31, 2016. A black line separates the Predecessor and Successor financial statements to highlight the lack of comparability between these periods.

 

We believe that our potential customers understand the financial and reputational risks associated with inadequate maintenance of their kitchen hoods and that our high-quality, professional services are low-cost expenditures when compared to the alternative of failing to perform essential maintenance. We strive to be the service provider of choice and believe the commercial kitchen industry of over 1million locations in the United States collectively have recognized the value proposition of complying with the required fire and insurance regulations. As evidenced by our long-standing customer relationships our management team has and the high rate at which our customers renew their contracts from year to year we are confident Bare Metal Standard possesses the tools required to develop a national brand with franchisees in every major market within the United States.

 

Our focus on attracting and retaining new customers as our franchisees begins with our associates in the field, who interact with commercial kitchen managers, fire departments, insurance companies and facility managers every day. Our associates bring a strong level of passion and commitment to the Bare Metal Standard brand. We have extensive experience to bring to our new company. Our field organization is supported by dedicated customer service and call center personnel. Our culture of continuous improvement drives an intense focus on the quality of the services delivered, which we believe produces high levels of customer satisfaction and, ultimately, customer retention and referrals.

 

Our expansion, both in existing markets of potential franchisees, where we have capacity to increase our local market position with franchises, and in new markets through detailed assessments of local economic conditions and demographics, we have identified target markets where we see opportunities. We intend to grow our presence through strategic franchise expansions and additional licensing agreements.

 

Competition

 

We may not have the resources to compete with our existing competitors or with any new competitors. We intend to complete our raise of capital so that we can award franchisees in all major markets inside the United States and are confident our process and procedures are capable of supporting a healthy competition for customers in all three customer categories; Healthcare, Institutional and Restaurant.

 

Moreover, as compliance to authority having jurisdiction (fire dept. insurance co. health dept.) requirements increase demand for the servicing of commercial kitchen grease exhaust systems increases, new companies may enter the market and the influx of added competition will pose an increased risk to our Company. Increased competition may lead to price wars at the Restaurant category; however, at this point we have a technological advantage on the more complicated systems found in Healthcare and Institutional customer categories. Thus, there is a significant risk of for markets where we have yet to place a franchisee, providing new competitors the time to improve their technology and gain a foothold in markets we are absent.

Intellectual Property

 

We rely or plan to rely on a combination of trademark, copyright, trade secret and patent laws in the United States, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our commercial kitchen grease exhaust system maintenance methodologies and any new methodologies we might develop in the future. We currently have no pending patents nor trademarks.

 

From time to time, we expect that we may encounter disputes over rights and obligations concerning intellectual property. Also, the efforts management has taken to protect its proprietary rights may not be sufficient or effective. Any significant impairment of its intellectual property rights could harm the existing business, the brand and reputation, and the ability of the business to compete on a going forward basis. Also, protecting our intellectual property rights could be costly and time consuming.

 

 

 

 

Employees

 

We currently have six employees. Our CEO performs all duties related to the operations of this business. We also plan to utilize additional independent contractors on a part-time/as needed basis.

Item 3, Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

Results of Operations

 

Successor and Predecessor Financial Presentation

 

The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included herewith. This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future.

 

For the eight month ended October 31, 2017, Bare Metal Inc. (Successor) and four months ended February 28, 2017 (Predecessor) and the year ended October 31, 2016 (Predecessor):

 

On March 1, 2017, we entered into a management agreement with Taylor Brothers Holdings Inc., which is an operating company and has common majority shareholders and directors. The officers and directors of Bare Metal Standard were officers and directors of Taylor Brothers. James Bedal and Mike Taylor have resigned their positions with Taylor Brothers and work full time for Bare Metal Standard. The agreement term has no expiration and can be terminated by the Company at any time with written notice to the other partner. As a result of the management agreement, Bare Metal is to provide, on behalf of Taylor Brothers, certain management services, having full authorization, on behalf of Taylor Brothers to provide all the services and all the activities, normally provided by Taylor Brothers, under the Taylor Brothers franchise agreements, previously entered into by Taylor Brothers and the franchisees Bare Metal became responsible for servicing franchisee agreements and receiving 100% of the revenues associated with those agreements assumed for the support and maintenance of the preexisting franchise agreements of Taylor Brothers Holdings franchisees as Taylor Brothers Holdings has ceased selling franchises. Bare Metal is due all collections from franchisees. Bare Metal Standard assumed the business operations of the existing franchise agreements while potential liabilities arising from said agreements will remain with Taylor Brothers. Additionally, on November 1, 2017 Bare Metal, entered into a royalty free license agreement with Taylor Brothers Holdings Inc. with the right to sublease, the use of Trade Name Bare Metal Standard and related industry know-how including proprietary software in exchange for a monthly fee of $2,000 paid in arrears. As a result of the above transactions with Taylor Brothers Holdings Inc., under Regulation S-X for reporting purposes Taylor Brother Holdings Inc. is considered a business. Thus, Taylor Brothers Holdings Inc. is viewed as Predecessor entity for reporting purposes, and Bare Metal is viewed as a Successor entity. For purposes of the following discussion, we compare the combined results of Bare Metal Standard Inc. for the eight months ended October 31, 2017 and Taylor Brothers Holdings for the four months ended February 28, 2017, to the results of Taylor Brothers Holdings Inc. for the 12 months ended October 31, 2016. A black line separates the Predecessor and Successor financial statements to highlight the lack of comparability between these periods.

Revenue

 

During the eight months ended October 31, 2017, Bare Metal (Successor) generated franchise fee revenue, from non-related parties of $292,996 plus $87,925, generated by Taylor Brothers Holdings (Predecessor) for the four months ended February 28, 2017, compared to $292,788 generated by Taylor Brothers Holdings (Predecessor) during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016. During the eight months ended October 31, 2017, Bare Metal (Successor) generated $201,429 plus $59,363, by Taylor Brothers Holdings (Predecessor) during the four months ended February 28, 2017, from related party franchisees while Taylor Brothers Holdings (Predecessor) generated $323,019, from related parties, during the twelve months ended October 31, 2016. Total revenue from franchise fees, from all franchisees, totaled $494,425 for the eight months ended October 31, 2017 plus $147,288 compared to $615,807 for the year ended October 31, 2016. Although revenue from related party franchisees decreased, due to the acquisition of long term equipment, by Taylor Brothers (Predecessor) during the year ended October 31, 2016, organic growth from other franchisees more than offset the decrease. Management anticipates revenues to increase once the franchise initiatives are funded and underway. None of the initiatives have begun.

     

For the eight months ended October 31, 2017, Bare Metal (Successor) experienced a net loss of $79,822 plus $64,074 by Taylor Brothers. Holdings for the four months ended February 28, 2017, as compared to Taylor Brothers Holdings (Predecessor) net income of $2,149 for the previous year. This primarily resulted from higher general & administrative expenses $255,688 during fiscal 2017 compared to $152,976 for fiscal 2016. Also, administrative and officer compensation increased slightly to $438,917 for the year ended October 31, 2017 from $428,441 for the year ended October 31, 2016. The higher level of general and administrative expense is likely to continue given the costs of maintaining the company as a public company.

   

Bare Metal (Successor) generated total revenues of $494,425 for the eight months ended October 31, 2017, plus $147,288, generated by Taylor Brothers Holdings (Predecessor) for the four months ended February 28, 2017 compared to $615,807 of revenue generated by Taylor Brothers (Predecessor) during the year ended October 31, 2016. As of October 31, 2017, Bare Metal (Successor) had an accumulated deficit of $314,061. There can be no assurances that the Company can achieve or sustain profitability or that the Company's operating losses will not increase in the future.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company is authorized to issue 80,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock. As of October 31, 2017, the Company has 31,645,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. As of October 31, 2017, the Company had current assets of $85,839 and current liabilities of $46,350.

 

 9 

 

 

The Company has limited financial resources available, which has had an adverse impact on the Company's liquidity, activities and operations. In order for the Company to remain a going concern it will need to find additional capital or generate revenues. Additional working capital may be sought through additional debt or equity private placements, additional notes payable to banks or related parties (officers, directors or stockholders), or from other available funding sources at market rates of interest, or a combination of these. The ability to raise necessary financing will depend on many factors, including the nature and prospects of any business to be acquired and the economic and market conditions prevailing at the time financing is sought. No assurances can be given that any necessary financing can be obtained on terms favorable to the Company, or at all.

 

Management believes the Company has sufficient cash assets, coupled with Managements’ ability to provide additional funds through the sale of equity securities, to fund its operations and keep the Company fully reporting for the next twelve (12) months.

 

Working Capital

 

Bare Metal (Successor) as of October 31, 2017 had current assets of $85,839 and current liabilities of $46,350 or working capital of $38,489 compared to Taylor Brothers (Predecessor) as of October 31, 2016, which had current assets of $109,256 and current liabilities of $205,969 or a negative working capital of $96,713.

 

Operating Activities

 

During the eight months ended October 31, 2017, Bare Metal (Successor) utilized cash in the amount of $75,038 and $17,953 used by Taylor Brothers Holdings Inc. (Predecessor) for the four months ended February 28, 2017, to pay for operating activities, compared to $4,739 of cash provided by Taylor Brothers (Predecessor) operations for the twelve months ended October 31, 2016 (Predecessor).

 

Investing Activities

 

Neither Bare Metal (Successor) nor Taylor Brothers (Predecessor) generated any funds from investing activities during the eight months ended October 31, 2017, the four months ended February 28, 2017 nor the year ended October 31, 2016 (Predecessor).

 

Financing Activities 

 

During the eight months ended October 31, 2017 Bare Metal (Successor) sold 60,000 common stock for $30,000 cash. During the four months ended February 28, 2017 Taylor Brothers Holdings (Predecessor) repaid $34,587 of related party notes payable and $2,839 of notes payable. During that same time period Taylor Brothers received $2,250 from a related party note payable. As a result, Bare Metal (Successor) received $30,000 from financing activities during the eight months ended October 31, 2017, while Taylor Brothers Holdings, (Predecessor) used $35,176 during the four months ended February 28, 2017 compared to Taylor Brothers (Predecessor) receiving $28,635 during the year ended October 31, 2016. The change is mainly due to the borrowings of approximately $109,000 and repayments of approximately $80,000 during October 31, 2016 (Predecessor) compared to no borrowings or loan repayments during the eight months ended October 31, 2017 (Successor). .

 

Plan of Operation

 

Bare Metal’s (Successor) plan of operation is to provide franchise opportunities in the services of commercial kitchen grease exhaust systems (GES) as well as providing franchisee management systems in other industries. As of October 31, 2017, we had $6,509 cash on hand and accounts receivable of $31,004 plus $16,355 accounts receivable from a related party. Management believes, without any additional funding or revenues, the Company has to continue to sell equity securities to finance its operations and continued growth. We will apply any proceeds from future revenues to help cover our expenditures. At this time, management anticipates it will be required to seek outside funding to keep its business operational for the next twelve months, and will continue its efforts to seek additional funding.

 

 10 

 

 

Future funding could result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities and/or amortization expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets, which could materially adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. Any future acquisitions of other businesses, technologies, services or product(s) might require the Company to obtain additional equity or debt financing, which might not be available on terms favorable to the Company, or at all, and such financing, if available, might be dilutive.

 

Going Concern

 

Our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the October 31, 2017 audited financial statements regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors. Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful completion of additional financing arrangements and our ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations.

 

Therefore, management plans to raise equity capital to finance the operating and capital requirements of the Company. While the Company is devoting its best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Summary of any product research and development that we will perform for the term of our plan of operation.

 

We do not anticipate performing any product research and development under our current plan of operation.

 

Expected purchase or sale of plant and significant equipment.

        

We do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any plant or significant equipment; as such items are not required by us at this time.

 

Significant changes in the number of employees.

 

As of October 31, 2017, Bare Metal (Successor) had four full time employees and two officers. We are dependent upon our two officers for our future business development. As our operations expand we anticipate the need to hire additional employees, consultants and professionals; however, the exact number is not quantifiable at this time.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results or operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors. 

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Revenue Recognition: The Company's revenue is derived from the sale of franchises, and products, services and the training necessary to support the franchisees under its Management agreement with Taylor Brothers, and a percentage of franchisees’ revenue invoiced to their clients, plus specific charges for software usage, sale of consumables and consulting services. 

 

The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned, and therefore only recognizes revenue when a franchise agreement has been entered into and the franchise fee received. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products, royalties, and services when the product has been shipped or the services have been provided in accordance with the contract entered into with the customer. Payments received in advance of satisfaction of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are recorded as advances from customers. The Company has no responsibility for collections, of trade debt, owed to a franchisee by the franchisees’ clients and therefore will not create an allowance for potential uncollectable obligations owing to it by the franchisee, unless it is determined that the franchisee will default on its obligation the Company. In accordance with the guidance in FASB Topic ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, the Company recognizes revenue when (a) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (b) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (c) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (d) collectability is reasonable assured.

 

New Accounting Standards

 

The Company's management has evaluated all the recently issued accounting pronouncements through the filing date of these financial statements and does not believe that any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

 

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

 

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Bare Metal Standard, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Bare Metal Standard, Inc. (the “Company” or “Successor”) as of October 31, 2017 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the eight months ended October 31, 2017, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). We have also audited the accompanying balance sheet of Taylor Brothers Holdings, Inc. (the “Predecessor”) as of October 31, 2016 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the four months ended February 28, 2017 and the year ended October 31, 2016, 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 as of October 31, 2017 and the Predecessor as of October 31, 2016, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the eight months ended October 31, 2017 and the four months ended February 28, 2017 and the year ended October 31, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern Matter

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company and the Predecessor will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company and the Predecessor have suffered recurring losses from operations and have a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s and the Predecessor’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s and the Predecessor’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 and the Predecessor 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 and the Predecessor are 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 and the Predecessor’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.

BARE METAL STANDARD, INC.

Notes to Financial Statements

As of October 31, 2017 Bare Metal Standard, Inc. (Successor) and October 31, 2016 (Predecessor) and for the eight months ended October 31, 2017, Bare Metal Standard, Inc. (Successor) and four months ended February 28, 2017 (Predecessor) and the year ended October 31, 2016 (Predecessor) 

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The Company was incorporated, as Bare Metal Standard, Inc., (the Company) on November 12, 2015 under the laws of the State of Idaho. Bare Metal Standard provides management services for franchisees who perform fire prevention and mitigation services to commercial kitchens by cleaning their exhaust systems on a mandated schedule enforced by insurance and fire and safety prevention codes.

 

On March 1, 2017, Bare Metal Standard, Inc. entered into a Management Agreement with Taylor Brothers Holdings, Inc. which is an operating company and has common majority shareholders and directors. The officers and directors of Bare Metal Standard were officers and directors of Taylor Brothers. James Bedal and Mike Taylor have resigned their positions with Taylor Brothers and work full time for Bare Metal Standard. The agreement term has no expiration and can be terminated by the Company at any time with written notice to the other partner. As a result of the management agreement, Bare Metal is to provide, on behalf of Taylor Brothers, certain management services, having full authorization, on behalf of Taylor Brothers to provide all the services and all the activities, normally provided by Taylor Brothers, under the Taylor Brothers franchise agreements, previously entered into by Taylor Brothers and the franchisees Bare Metal became responsible for servicing franchisee agreements and receiving 100% of the revenues associated with those agreements assumed for the support and maintenance of the preexisting franchise agreements of Taylor Brothers Holdings franchisees as Taylor Brothers Holdings has ceased selling franchises. Bare Metal is due all collections from franchisees. Bare Metal Standard assumed the business operations of the existing franchise agreements while potential liabilities arising from said agreements will remain with Taylor Brothers. Additionally, on November 1, 2017 Bare Metal, entered into a royalty free license agreement with Taylor Brothers Holdings Inc. with the right to sublease, the use of Trade Name Bare Metal Standard and related industry know-how including proprietary software in exchange for a monthly fee of $2,000 paid in arrears. As a result of the above transactions with Taylor Brothers Holdings Inc., under Regulation S-X for reporting purposes Taylor Brother Holdings, Inc. is considered a business. Thus, Taylor Brothers Holdings, Inc. is viewed as Predecessor entity for reporting purposes, and Bare Metal is viewed as a Successor entity.

 

Bare Metal Standard is, currently, seeking the same management opportunities in other industries. The Company intends to sell franchises in the commercial kitchen fire prevention and mitigation services environment, but, in addition, is looking for the same opportunities in other discipline

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying audited financial statements and related footnotes have been presented on a comparative basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (or U.S. GAAP) and with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (or SEC) instructions for the Form 10-K.

 

For periods after the commencement of the Management Agreement (March 1, 2017), the Company is referred to as the Successor and its results of operations includes, only, the results of operations from Bare Metal Standard for the eight months subsequent to March 1, 2017.   For periods previous to the inception of the Management Agreement, the Company is referred to as the Predecessor and its results of operations includes only Taylor Brothers Holdings Inc. operations.  A black line separates the Predecessor and Successor financial statements to highlight the lack of comparability between these periods.

BARE METAL STANDARD, INC.

Notes to Financial Statements

As of October 31, 2017 Bare Metal Standard, Inc. (Successor) and October 31, 2016 (Predecessor) and for the eight months ended October 31, 2017, Bare Metal Standard, Inc. (Successor) and four months ended February 28, 2017 (Predecessor) and the year ended October 31, 2016 (Predecessor) 

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company had an accumulated deficit of $314,061, (Successor) as of October 31, 2017 and $86,940 as of as of October 31, 2016 (Predecessor), respectively, and had net losses of $79,822 for the eight months ended October 31, 2017 (Successor); $66,941 for the four months ended February 28, 2017 (Predecessor); and net income of $2,149 (Predecessor) for the year ended October 31, 2016. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

While the Company is attempting to increase sales and generate additional revenues, the Company's cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company's daily operations.  If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing through the issuance of debt or equity, the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern.  While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to generate additional revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. 

 

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

 

This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist the reader in understanding and evaluating the Company's financial statements.  These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. 

 

Use of Estimates 

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The more significant estimates and assumptions made by management include allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, and provision for excess or expired inventory, depreciation of property and equipment, realization of long-lived assets and fair market value of equity instruments issued for goods or services.  

 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

 

Cash as of October 31, 2017 (Successor) and October 31, 2016 (Predecessor) included cash on-hand.

BARE METAL STANDARD, INC.

Notes to Financial Statements

As of October 31, 2017 Bare Metal Standard, Inc. (Successor) and October 31, 2016 (Predecessor) and for the eight months ended October 31, 2017, Bare Metal Standard, Inc. (Successor) and four months ended February 28, 2017 (Predecessor) and the year ended October 31, 2016 (Predecessor) 

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 

 

The Company's accounts receivable consists, of amounts owing by franchisees for monthly royalty commitments and for product sales to customers, including the cost of freight incurred to ship the product and other services provided by virtue of the management agreement with Taylor Brothers. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from the outstanding balances. Accounts receivable as of October 31, 2017, (Successor) consists of $31,004 due from non-related parties and $16,355 due from Taylor Brothers, Inc. a related party. Receivables at October 31, 2016 (Predecessor) consists of $38,526 due from non-related parties and $15,274 from Taylor Brothers, Inc. a related party.

 

An allowance for doubtful accounts will be provided for those accounts receivable considered to be uncollectable based on historical experience, and management's evaluation at the end of the period.  Bad debts are written off against the allowance when identified. Bare Metal (Successor) determined that no allowance was necessary for the eight months ended October 31, 2017 (Successor), nor the four months ended February 28, 2017, Taylor Brothers Holdings (Predecessor) nor the year ended October 31, 2016 by Taylor Brothers Holdings (Predecessor) 

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk 

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivables.  The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions.  At times such amounts may exceed federally insure limits. 

 

Receivables arising from sales of the Company's products are not collateralized. As of October 31, 2017 (Successor), total accounts receivable were $47,359 of which $16,355 was owed by a related party. As of October 31, 2017 (Successor), four customers represented approximately 91%(40%, 25%, 16%, 11%) of non-related accounts receivable.  As of October 31, 2016 (Predecessor), total accounts receivable were $53,800 of which $15,274 was owed by a related party. As of October 31, 2016 (Predecessor), four customers represented approximately 96%% (40%, 30%, 16%, and 10%) of non-related accounts receivable. (See note 3) 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments 

 

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses and shareholder loans.  The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.

The Company evaluates stock options, stock warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under the relevant sections of ASC Topic 815-40, Derivative Instruments and Hedging: Contracts in Entity's Own Equity.  The result of this accounting treatment could be that the fair value of a financial instrument is classified as a derivative instrument and is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability.  In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income or other expense.  Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity.  Financial instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815-40 are reclassified to a liability account at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.  The Company determined that it has no financial instruments that meet the criteria for derivative accounting as of October 31, 2017 (Successor) nor as of October 31, 2016 (Predecessor). 

 

Beneficial Conversion Features 

 

The Company, may, from time to time issue convertible notes that may have conversion prices that create an embedded liability pursuant to accounting guidance.  A beneficial conversion feature exists on the date a convertible note is issued when the fair value of the underlying common stock to which the note is convertible into is in excess of the remaining unallocated proceeds of the note after first considering the allocation of a portion of the note proceeds to the fair value of any attached equity instruments, if any related equity instruments were granted with the debt. In accordance with this guidance, the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is recorded as a debt discount with a corresponding amount to additional paid in capital.  The debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the note using the effective interest method. The Company determined that it has no financial instruments that meet the criteria for beneficial conversion as of October 31, 2017 (Successor) nor as of October 31, 2016 (Predecessor). 

 

 

 Share-Based Compensation 

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718 Compensation—Stock Compensation.  Stock-based compensation to employees is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite employee service period.  The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505-50.  Equity instruments issued to other than employees are valued at the earlier of a commitment date or upon completion of the services, based on the fair value of the equity instruments and is recognized as expense over the service period.  The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based payments using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for common stock options and warrants and the latest fair market price of the Company's common stock for common share issuances.

  

Inventories and Provision for Excess or Expired Inventory 

 

Inventory consists of finished goods and consumables held for resale to franchisees, and is valued on an average cost basis.  Provisions for excess inventory are included in cost of goods sold and have historically been immaterial but adequate to provide for losses.  It is reviewed, at least, quarterly and the Company has determined that there was no need to reserve for obsolescence as of October 31, 2017 (Successor) and October 31, 2016 (Predecessor).

Property and Equipment 

 

The Company (Successor) does not possess any property or equipment.  Property and equipment owned by Taylor Brothers (Predecessor) consists primarily of vehicles, leasehold improvements and computer equipment and is stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed using straight line accounting amortized over the useful life of the underlying asset.  Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred 

 

Long-lived Assets

Revenue Recognition 

 

The Company's revenue is derived from the sale of products, services and training to support the franchisees under its Management agreement with Taylor Brothers, as a percentage of franchisees’ revenue invoiced to their clients, plus specific charges for software usage, sale of consumables and consulting services.  The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned, and therefore only recognizes revenue when a franchise agreement has been entered into and the franchise fee received. The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products, royalties, and services when the product has been shipped or the services have been provided in accordance with the contract entered into with the customer. Payments received in advance of satisfaction of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are recorded as advances from customers. The Company has no responsibility for collections, of trade debt, owed to a franchisee by the franchisees’ clients and therefore will not create an allowance for potential uncollectable obligations owing to it by the franchisee, unless it is determined that the franchisee will default on its obligation the Company. In accordance with the guidance in FASB Topic ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, the Company recognizes revenue when (a) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (b) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (c) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (d) collectability is reasonable assured. 

 

Cost of Goods Sold

Administrative and Officer Compensation 

 

Administrative and officer compensation includes our officers, who are directly involved in management and our employees who provide daily supervision and management of operations. Expenses are recognized as incurred. Where necessary, unpaid compensation was accrued to coincide with reporting periods. 

 

Income Taxes 

 

Successor 

 

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes under the asset and liability method prescribed under ASC 740, Income Taxes.  The liability method measures deferred income taxes by applying enacted statutory rates in effect at the balance sheet date to the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts on the financial statements.  The resulting deferred tax assets or liabilities have been adjusted to reflect changes in tax laws as they occur.  A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. 

 

The Company expects to recognize the financial statement benefit of an uncertain tax position only after considering the probability that a tax authority would sustain the position in an examination.  For tax positions meeting a "more-likely-than-not" threshold, the amount to be recognized in the financial statements will be the benefit expected to be realized upon settlement with the tax authority.  For tax positions not meeting the threshold, no financial statement benefit is recognized.  As of October 31, 2017, the Company had no uncertain tax positions.  The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as general and administrative expenses.  The Company currently has no federal tax examinations nor has it had any federal income tax penalties since its inception. 

 

Predecessor 

 

The Predecessor is a corporation; reports its own profits and losses, and has not had taxable income during the current reporting period.  Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been reflected in these financial statements.  The Predecessor has no unrecognized tax benefits as of October 31, 2016. 

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Share 

 

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average common shares outstanding.  Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method.   As the Company incurred a net loss the eight months ended (Successor) and four months ended October 31, 2017 (Predecessor)) and minimal net income for the year ended October 31, 2016 (Predecessor), no potentially dilutive securities were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the impact would have been anti-dilutive.  Therefore, basic and dilutive net income (loss) per share were the same.

New Accounting Pronouncements 

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, has issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from contracts with Customers (Topic 606), or ASU 606. ASU 606 provides guidance outlining a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers in an amount that supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. This guidance requires us to recognize revenue when we transfer promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We are required to adopt ASU 606 at the beginning of our first quarter of fiscal 2019. The new guidance requires enhanced disclosures, including revenue recognition policies to identify performance obligations to customers and significant judgments in measurement and recognition. The new guidance may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of the adoption. We will apply the guidance when adopted, and provide the relevant disclosures in the first interim and annual periods in which we adopt the guidance. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements within any accounting period presented. Starting in the second quarter of 2014, the FASB issued guidance applicable to revenue recognition that will be effective for the Company for the year ending January 31, 2019. The new guidance must be adopted using either a full retrospective approach for all periods presented or a modified retrospective approach. The Company believes that there will not be a material impact on its financial statements. 

 

The FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The core principle of the new guidance is that management of public and private companies is required to evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued when applicable) and, if so, disclose that fact. Management will be required to make this evaluation. 

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation- Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The new standard requires recognition of the income tax effects of vested or settled awards in the income statement and involves several other aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. This new standard was effective for the Company on February 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or statements of cash flows upon adoption. 

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force) (“ASU 201615”). The amendments in ASU 2016-15 address eight specific cash flow issues and apply to all entities that are required to present a statement of cash flows under ASC Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows. The amendments in ASU 2016-15 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption during an interim period. The Company has not yet completed the analysis of how adopting this guidance will affect its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfer of Assets Other Than Inventory. This new standard eliminates the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. Under the new standard, entities should recognize the income tax consequences on an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. This new standard will be effective for the Company on February 1, 2018 and will be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact this standard may have on its financial position and results of operations. 

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 201618, Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issue Task Force) (“ASU 2016-18”). This new standard addresses the diversity that exists in the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in ASU 2016-18 require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of period and end of period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within the year of adoption, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2016-18 will have a material impact on its financial statements. 

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This new standard clarifies the definition of a business and provides a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This new standard will be effective for the Company on February 1, 2018; however, early adoption is permitted with prospective application to any business development transaction. 

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 201704 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2017-04 will have a material impact on its financial statements for both annual and interim reporting periods, if applicable. Management also is required to evaluate and disclose whether its plans alleviate that doubt. The standard is effective for the Company on February 1, 2018 and will be implemented using the modified retrospective approach. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (“ASU 2015-17”). ASU 2015-17 requires companies to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent on the balance sheet instead of separating deferred taxes into current and noncurrent amounts. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance may be adopted on either a prospective or retrospective basis.

NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES

 

Successor 

 

The Company’s net operating loss carryover of $283,061 as of October 31, 2017, will expire in 2037. Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forward for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carry forward may be limited as to its use in future years. The Company’s tax returns for the years ended October 31, 2015 through October 31, 2017 are open for IRS audit.

 

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Act was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Changes include, but are not limited to, a corporate tax rate decrease from 35% to 21%, effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. As a result of the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% under the Tax Act, we revalued our ending net deferred tax assets at October 31, 2017, which were fully offset by a valuation allowance.

 

Future tax benefits for these net operating loss carry-forwards are recognized to the extent that realization of these benefits is considered more likely than not.  To the extent that we will not realize a future tax benefit, a valuation allowance is established.  The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are presented below: 

 

 

 

 

The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 34% of significant items comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows:

 

    October 31, 2017 
Net operating loss carry forward  $52,932 
      
 Less: valuation allowance   (52,932)
Net deferred tax asset  $-

Item 9A Controls and Procedures

 

Management's Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, requires us to carry out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of October 31, 2017. This evaluation was implemented under the supervision and with the participation of our officers and directors.

 

Based on this evaluation, management concluded that, as of October 31, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our officers and directors have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures had the following material weaknesses:

 

We were unable to maintain any segregation of duties within our financial operations due to our reliance on limited personnel in the finance function. While this control deficiency did not result in any audit adjustments to our financial statements, it could have resulted in a material misstatement that might have been prevented or detected by a segregation of duties;

 

We do not have an independent Board of Directors, nor do we have a board member designated as an independent financial expert. The Board of Directors is comprised of two members who also serve as executive officers. As a result, there is a lack of independent oversight of the management team, lack of independent review of our operating and financial results, and lack of independent review of disclosures made by us; and documentation of all proper accounting procedures is not yet complete.

 

To the extent reasonably possible given our limited resources, we intend to take measures to cure the aforementioned weaknesses, including, but not limited to, the following:

Engaging consultants to assist in ensuring that accounting policies and procedures are consistent across the organization and that we have adequate control over financial statement disclosures;

· Hiring additional qualified financial personnel;

· Expanding our current board of directors to include additional independent individuals willing to perform directorial functions; and

· Increasing our workforce in preparation for exiting the development stage and commencing revenue producing operations.

 

Since the recited remedial actions will require that we hire or engage additional personnel, these material weaknesses may not be overcome in the near-term due to our limited financial resources. Until such remedial actions can be realized, we will continue to rely on the limited advice of outside professionals and consultants. These initiatives will be subject to our ability to obtain sufficient future financing and subject to our ability to start generating revenue.

 

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Our officers have assessed the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of October 31, 2017. In making this assessment, management used the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based upon its assessment, management concluded that, as of October 31, 2017, our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective.

 

 14 

 

 

Management has identified a lack of sufficient personnel in the accounting function due to our limited resources with appropriate skills, training and experience to perform the review processes to ensure the complete and proper application of generally accepted accounting principles. We are in the process of developing and implementing remediation plans to address our material weaknesses in our internal controls.

 

Management has identified specific remedial actions to address the material weaknesses described above:

 

· Improve the effectiveness of the accounting group by augmenting our existing resources with additional consultants or employees to improve segregation procedures and to assist in the analysis and recording of complex accounting transactions and preparation of tax disclosures. We plan to mitigate the segregation of duties issue by hiring additional personnel in the accounting department once we have achieved positive cash flow from operations and/or have raised significant additional working capital; and

· Improve segregation procedures by strengthening cross approval of various functions including cash disbursements and quarterly internal audit procedures where appropriate.

 

Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

 

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for smaller reporting companies under Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the fourth quarter ended October 31, 2017, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

As used in this table, "beneficial ownership" means the sole or shared power to vote, or to direct the voting of, a security, or the sole or shared investment power with respect to a security (i.e., the power to dispose of, or to direct the disposition of, a security).

 

In addition, for purposes of this table, a person is deemed, as of any date, to have "beneficial ownership" of any security that such person has the right to acquire within 60 days after such date.

 

Other than the shareholders listed above, we know of no other person who is the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of our common stock.

 

The persons named above have full voting and investment power with respect to the shares indicated. Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, a person (or group of persons) is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if he or she, directly or indirectly, has or shares the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. Accordingly, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security, which that person has the right to acquire within 60 days, such as options or warrants to purchase our common stock.

 

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

 

Related party debt, in the amount of $24,387 at October 31, 2016 (Predecessor) consisted of unsecured non–interest bearing and due on demand working capital advances from a related party – Taylor Brothers Distributing, Inc. (a Company with common officers and directors) During the eight months ended October 31, 2017, Bare Metal (Successor) purchased $7,602 worth of inventory from Taylor Brothers Distributing.

 

The related party payable, in the amount of $1,924, Taylor Brothers Holdings, (Predecessor) resulted from the acquisition of supplies and products from two related companies. A total of $1,760 owing to Taylor Brothers Distributing, Inc. was repaid in two instalments on November 11 and November 16, 2016. The remaining total, of $164, was repaid to a Taylor Brothers, Inc. a franchisee on November 14, 2016.

 

We have entered into an agreement with Taylor Brothers Inc. (a Company with common officers and directors) to use their offices. The rent will be $5,000 per month, when Bare Metal Standard completes required funding to support ongoing operations.

 

 

We currently operate with three directors, James Bedal, Michael Taylor and Jeffrey Taylor. We have determined that none of our directors are "independent directors" as defined in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200(a) (15).
