EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Fresh Harvest Products, Inc. (the “Company”) has not been able to have its independent registered public accountant complete the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012. As described herein, on October 11, 2012, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its subsidiary, A.C. LaRocco, Inc. (the “Subsidiary”), and the Company then ceased operating the Subsidiary. As a result, accounting records for the Subsidiary for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012, are not available and could not be audited. This report is therefore deficient because the annual financial statements contained in this report for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012, have not been audited by an independent registered public accountant as required by Rule 10-01(d) of Regulation S-X.

PART I

 

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

OVERVIEW

 

Fresh Harvest Products, Inc. (the “Parent Company”) is a corporation formed in the State of New Jersey. Until October of 2012, we were a developer of proprietary brands and a marketer of organic and natural food products. Our goal was to make our “Wings of Nature™” and “AC LaRocco” brands, national brands of organic and natural foods that would attract consumers because of high quality and affordable pricing.

 

We believe that the consumers that we targeted during 2011-2012 were actively looking for quality organic food offerings, and the stores in which they shop were responding to their demands by allocating shelf space for this rapidly expanding segment of the food market. In August 2009, we formed Wings of Nature, LLC in the State of New York and it is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent Company. In April 2010, the Parent Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, A.C. LaRocco, Inc. (“New A.C. LaRocco”) in the State of Delaware for the purpose of implementing its new pizza business.

 

We sold our products to consumers at, what we believe are, reasonable prices through local, regional and national supermarkets, retailers, distributors, brokers, and wholesalers. Our strategy was to focus on finding and developing and selling the best organic and natural food products in the world. Part of this strategy is to have the “Wings of Nature™” or “AC LaRocco” names branded on our products, as well as acquiring other natural and organic food brands.

 

During October 2012, the Parent Company began integrating a digital plan and strategy which shifted the Company’s focus to expanding the online network and community, as well as an expansion of online services, with a focus on developing various SaaS models in the health, wellness, fitness, lifestyles of health and sustainability (LOHAS) and healthcare industries.

 

The Company expects to develop, license and acquire software applications that will generate revenue through subscription fees, in-app upgrades, purchases and advertising. The Company is currently working on several software applications including a calorie calculator and food comparison software solution so that consumers can be informed and compare what foods they are eating and be able to accurately calculate their daily calories per item, as well as compare foods with each other to learn and understand what the healthier options are. The Company is actively seeking strategic partners and acquisition targets in order to grow and expand.

 

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012, we did not generate any revenues as we were integrating our new business model, and developing software products.

 

The Company continues to have limited capital resources and has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations and expects these conditions to continue for the foreseeable future. As of October 31, 2012, the Company had no cash available for operations and had an accumulated deficit of $9,318,185. Management believes that cash on hand as of October 31, 2012 is not sufficient to fund operations through October 31, 2013. The Company will be required to raise additional funds to meet its short and long-term planned goals. There can be no assurance that such funds, if available at all, can be obtained on terms reasonable to the Company.

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has limited revenue and without realization of additional capital, it would be highly unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

On October 11, 2012, Fresh Harvest Products, Inc. (referred to herein as the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our”), the Company, AC LaRocco, Inc., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”), ACL Foods, LLC (“Foods”), Rose & Shore, Inc. (“R&S”), entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the parties agreed to enter into a transaction whereby (i) Foods & R&S released the Company and the Subsidiary from their respective debt obligations to Foods & R&S, including the Secured Promissory Note, the Security Agreement, the Tri-party Agreement, the Assignment and License Agreement (between the Subsidiary and R&S), the Accounts Collection “Lock Box Agreement (between the Subsidiary and R&S), and the personal guaranty of the Subsidiaries obligations to R&S executed by Michael Friedman, the Company’s President & CEO; and (ii) Foods assumed obligations and fees due R&S and a certain food broker for a retail client of Subsidiary’s, in consideration for the assignment to Foods of the rights, title and interest in certain intellectual property rights of Subsidiary and R&S. Each of the parties had been or were a manufacturer (or related to manufacturer) of Subsidiary, up to the date of these Agreements, and both parties were creditors of Subsidiary.

Material Agreements

 

Consulting Agreement

 

On October 11, 2012, the Company and Foods entered into a consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company shall perform consulting services to Better For You Foods, LLC (“BFY”), for a fee of $50,000 upon the occurrence of a change in control, which is defined as the occurrence of any transaction that results in the affiliates of BFY no longer having direct or indirect control of at least 50% of the then voting powers of BFY.

 

Assignment of Property Agreement

 

On October 11, 2012, the Company, the Subsidiary, R&S and Foods entered into an Assignment of Intellectual Property Agreement pursuant to which the Company and the Subsidiary transferred to Foods at the Closing all of the Company’s and the Subsidiary’s right, title and interest in and to certain AC LaRocco brand properties, including without limitation all trademarks, trade names, copyrights, intellectual property rights and other related rights thereto (the “Transferred Property”).

 

Issuances of Series A Preferred Stock

 

On October 1, 2012, Fresh Harvest Products, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into letter agreements with Michael J. Friedman, the Company’s President, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Jay Odintz, a Member of the Company’s Board of Directors, pursuant to which the Company, Mr. Friedman and Mr. Odintz agreed to convert an aggregate of $320,000 in liabilities ($228,000 in accrued but unpaid compensation to Mr. Friedman and $46,000 to each individual in accrued but unpaid Director’s fees) into an aggregate 5,000,000 Series A Convertible Preferred Shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Series A Preferred Shares”) and an aggregate 566,666,666 Common Shares, 413,333,333 and 153,333,333, respectively. The Series A Preferred Shares are convertible into an aggregate 500,000,000 restricted common shares.

 

Employees and Employment Agreements

 

As of October 31, 2012, we had one full time employee and several full and part-time third party independent contractors. Currently, the Company’s sole employee, is our President and Chief Executive Officer. We anticipate retaining additional sales and marketing (employees or consultants) and clerical personnel within the next 12 months, if and when our financial resources permit.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

We are subject to various risks that may materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. An investor should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K before deciding to purchase our securities. If any of these risks or uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline or we may be forced to cease operations.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

 

We have limited capital resources and have experienced net losses and negative cash flows and we expect these conditions to continue for the foreseeable future, as such we expect that we will need to obtain additional financing to continue to operate our business. Such financing may be unavailable or available only on disadvantageous terms, which could cause the Company to curtail its business operations and delay the execution of its business plan. To date, we have not generated significant revenues. Our net losses for the years ended October 31, 2012 and 2011 were $1,488,485 and $1,101,547 respectively. As of October 31, 2012, we realized an accumulated deficit of $9,318,185 and we had no cash on hand. Our revenues have not been sufficient to sustain our operations and we expect that our revenues will not be sufficient to sustain our operations for the foreseeable future. As such, we expect that we will continue to need significant financing to operate our business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available or that the terms of such additional financing, if available, will be acceptable to us. If additional financing is not available or not available on terms acceptable to us, our ability to fund our operations or otherwise respond to competitive pressures may be significantly impaired. We could also be forced to curtail our business operations, reduce our investments, decrease or eliminate capital expenditures and delay the execution of our business plan, including, without limitation, all aspects of our operations, which would have a material adverse affect on our business. The items discussed above raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot assure you that we can achieve or sustain profitability in the future. Our operations are subject to the risks and competition inherent in the establishment of a business enterprise. There can be no assurance that future operations will be profitable. Revenues and profits, if any, will depend upon various factors, including whether our products achieve market acceptance and whether we obtain additional financing. We may not achieve our business objectives and the failure to achieve such goals would have a materially adverse impact on us.

We are currently in default with respect to various outstanding debt obligations, which if we fail to repay, could result in foreclosure upon our assets. We are currently in default with respect to a number of our debt obligations. In the event we are unable to repay such debt obligations, we could lose all of our assets and be forced to cease our operations.

 

We may be required to raise additional financing by issuing new securities with terms or rights superior to those of our shares of common stock, which could adversely affect the market price of our shares of common stock and our business. We will require additional financing to fund future operations. We may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms, if at all. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, the percentage ownership of our current stockholders will be reduced, and the holders of the new equity securities may have rights superior to those of the holders of shares of common stock, which could adversely affect the market price and the voting power of shares of our common stock. If we raise additional funds by issuing debt securities, the holders of these debt securities may similarly have some rights senior to those of the holders of shares of common stock, and the terms of these debt securities could impose restrictions on operations and create a significant interest expense for us which could have a materially adverse affect on our business.

 

Accrued and Unpaid Payroll Taxes. As of October 31, 2012, the Company owed the Internal Revenue Service and New York State payroll related taxes in the amounts of $135,875 and $30,084, respectively, plus applicable interest and penalties. The total amount due to the taxing authorities including penalties and interest was $165,959 as of January 31, 2013 and $165,959 as of October 31, 2012, subject to further penalties and interest. The Internal Revenue Service has placed a federal tax lien on all of the assets of the Company. If we are unable to resolve these tax liabilities such failure could have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

 

We have not yet completed our merger with New York FHP, nor do we plan to do so. On December 16, 2005, the Parent Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Acquisition and Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Fresh Harvest Products, Inc., a New York corporation (“New York FHP”), Michael Friedman, Marcia Roberts and Illuminate, Inc. The Merger Agreement contemplates the merger of the Parent Company and New York FHP (the “Merger”). Although the Parent Company has operated as if the Merger was consummated in December 2005, it has come to the Parent Company’s attention that certain required filings were not made in the State of New Jersey and the State of New York to properly consummate the Merger. As a result, as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Parent Company and New York FHP had not completed the Merger. In order to complete the Merger, the Parent Company and New York FHP plan to take the following steps:

 

 

1.

Pay all taxes owed by New York FHP to the State of New York. As of October 31, 2012, New York FHP owed New York State payroll related taxes in the amount of approximately $30,084 plus applicable interest and penalties.

 

2.

File an application on behalf of the Parent Company for authority to do business in the State of New York with the Secretary of State of the State of New York, which application requires the consent of the New York State Tax Commission, and pay any applicable late filing penalties.

 

3.

File a final franchise tax return with the State of New York with respect to New York FHP.

 

4.

File a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of New Jersey.

 

5.

File a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of New York.

 

The Parent Company previously intended to take the steps required to complete the Merger; but after changing its business plan in 2012, determined not to do so.

 

We may suffer the loss of key personnel or may be unable to attract and retain qualified personnel to maintain and expand our business which may have a material adverse affect on our business. Our success is highly dependent on the continued services of certain skilled management and personnel. The loss of any of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, our success will depend upon, among other factors, the recruitment and retention of additional highly skilled and experienced management and personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be able to retain existing employees or to attract and retain additional personnel on acceptable terms given the competition for such personnel and our limited financial resources. In addition, we are highly dependent on the services of our President and Chief Executive Officer, Michael Friedman, and Mr. Friedman devotes a portion of his time to unrelated business interests.

Table of Contents

 

Significant Control of the Company is held by management and the Board of Directors. As of October 31, 2012, our directors and officers hold the power to vote an aggregate of 52.50% of our common shares. As a result, any person who acquires our common shares will likely have little or no ability to influence or control the Company.

 

Our common stock is considered a “penny stock” and as a result, related broker-dealer requirements may hamper its trading and liquidity. Our common stock is considered to be a “penny stock” since it meets one or more of the definitions in Rules 15g-2 through 15g-6 promulgated under Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. These include but are not limited to the following: (i) the common stock trades at a price less than $5.00 per share; (ii) the common stock is not traded on a “recognized” national exchange; or (iii) the common stock is issued by a company with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the past three (3) years. The principal result or effect of being designated a “penny stock” is that securities broker-dealers cannot recommend our common stock to investors, thus hampering its liquidity.

 

Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-2 require broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with documentation disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the documents before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor’s account. Potential investors in our common stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing any of our shares.

 

Moreover, Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor’s financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives.

 

We may have difficulty raising necessary capital to fund operations as a result of market price volatility for our shares of common stock. The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:

 

 

·

new products by us or our competitors;

 

·

additions or departures of key personnel;

 

·

sales of our common stock;

 

·

our ability to integrate operations and products;

 

·

our ability to execute our business plan;

 

·

operating results below expectations;

 

·

industry developments;

 

·

economic and other external factors; and

 

·

period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results.

 

Because we have limited revenues to date, you may consider any one of these factors to be material. Our stock price may fluctuate widely as a result of any of the above listed factors. In recent years, the securities markets in the U.S. have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations that have not necessarily been related to the operations, performances, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. For these reasons, our shares of common stock can also be expected to be subject to volatility resulting from purely market forces over which we will have no control. If our business development plans are successful, we may require additional financing to continue to develop our products and to expand into new markets. The success of our products may, therefore, be dependent upon our ability to obtain financing through debt and equity or other means.

 

We will not pay cash dividends and investors may have to sell their shares in order to realize their investment. We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, for reinvestment in the development and marketing of our products. As a result, investors may have to sell their shares of common stock to realize their investment.

 

Our business and future operating results may be adversely affected by events that are outside of our control. Our business and operating results are vulnerable to interruption by events outside of our control, such as pandemics, earthquakes, fire, power loss, telecommunications failures and uncertainties arising out of terrorist attacks throughout the world, the economic consequences of military action and the associated political instability, and the effect of heightened security concerns on domestic and international travel and commerce.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR TECHNOLOGY BUSINESS

 

We can provide no assurance that our business will be able to maintain a competitive technology advantage in the future. The Company’s ability to generate revenues now and in the future is based upon maintaining a competitive technology advantage over its competition. We can provide no assurances that we will be able to garner nor maintain a competitive technology advance in the future over our competitors, which have significantly more experience and are better capitalized than us.

 

No assurances can be given that we will be able to keep up with a rapidly changing technology market or that we can prevent unauthorized access to our customer data. Failure to keep up with rapidly changing technologies and marketing practices could cause our products and services to become less competitive or obsolete, which could result in loss of market share and revenues. Advances in information technology are changing the way clients use and purchase information products and services. Maintaining a technological competitiveness of any products, software systems and services is key to our future success. However, the complexity and uncertainty regarding the development of new technologies and the extent and timing of market acceptance of innovative products and services create difficulties in maintaining this competitiveness. Without the timely introduction of new products, services and enhancements, our products and services will become technologically or commercially obsolete over time, in which case our revenue and operating results would suffer. Consumer needs and the business information industry as a whole are in a constant state of change. Our ability to continually improve our current processes and products in response to changes in technology and to develop new products and services are essential in maintaining our competitive position and meeting the increasingly sophisticated requirements of our clients. If we fail to enhance our current products and services or fail to develop new products in light of emerging technologies and industry standards, we could lose clients to current or future competitors, which could result in impairment of our growth prospects and revenues. A significant breach of the confidentiality of the information we may hold or of the security of our or our customers’, suppliers’, or other partners’ computer systems could be detrimental to our business, reputation and results of operations. Our business may require the storage, transmission and utilization of data.

 

If we fail to respond quickly to technological developments, our service may become uncompetitive and obsolete. The markets in which we plan to compete are expected to experience rapid technology developments, changes in industry standards, changes in customer requirements and frequent new improvements. If we are unable to respond quickly to these developments, we may lose competitive position, and our technologies may become uncompetitive or obsolete, causing revenues and operating results to suffer. In order to compete, we may be required to develop or acquire new technology and improve our existing technology and processes on a schedule that keeps pace with technological developments. We must also be able to support a range of changing customer preferences. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in any manner in these efforts.

 

We May Not Be Able To Garner Technological Expertise, Which Would Adversely Impact Our Business. The markets for our information technology services are characterized by rapidly changing technology and evolving process development. Our business will depend upon our ability to:

 

 

·

enhance our technological capabilities;

 

·

develop and market services which meet changing customer needs; and

 

·

successfully anticipate or respond to technological changes in e-government processes on a cost-effective and timely basis.

 

We cannot be certain that we will develop capabilities required by potential customers in the future. Also, the emergence of new technologies, industry standards or customer requirements may render our equipment, inventory or processes obsolete or noncompetitive. In addition, we may have to acquire new testing technologies and equipment and train personnel to remain competitive. The acquisition and implementation of new technologies and equipment and training of new personnel may require significant expense or capital investment. Our failure to anticipate and adapt to our customers’ changing technological needs and requirements would harm our ability to attract new customers and maintain existing customers. Our inability to maintain and expand our customer base could force us to curtail or cease our business operations.

We Have An Unproven Business Model And No Technical Operating History, Which Makes It Difficult To Evaluate Our Current Business And Future Prospects For Generating Revenues. We have only a very limited operating history upon which to base an evaluation of our current business and future prospects and we have yet to receive widespread acceptance of our services. We started our current business in October 2012. Our limited operating history and the overall economic environment make an evaluation of our business and prospects very difficult. We encounter certain risks and difficulties including, but are not limited to, the following:

 

 

·

our new and unproven business model and technology;

 

·

the difficulties we face in managing rapid growth in personnel and operations;

 

·

the response by potential customers and strategic partners to our products and services;

 

·

the timing and success of new product and service introductions and new technologies by our competitors; and,

 

·

our ability to build awareness and receive recognition in the information technology and software market.

 

We may not be able to successfully address any of these risks. Failure to adequately do so could seriously impair our ability to operate, cause our revenues to decline and force us to curtail or cease our business operations.

 

We May Incur Significant Operating Losses In The Future, Which May Force Us to Cease Operations Or Significantly Curtail Our Business. Our success to generate revenues depends on numerous factors, including the ability to service our clients, provide needed information technology services and products, collect revenues from potential clients, and to develop new markets. However, developing new products and markets will lead to more expenses, being incurred as we have to, among other things:

 

 

·

hire additional personnel, including marketing personnel, engineers and other technical staff;

 

·

hire senior executives and members of our senior management team;

 

·

expand our selling and marketing activities;

 

·

expand our product and service offerings: and,

 

·

upgrade our operational and financial systems, procedures and controls.

 

If our revenue does not grow to offset these expected increased expenses, we will not be profitable. Furthermore, if our operating expenses exceed our expectations, or if we encounter difficulties in collecting the revenue from our customers, our financial performance will be adversely affected and we could be forced to curtail or cease our business operations.

 

We Depend On The Continued Services Of Our Executive Officers, And The Loss Of Key Personnel Could Affect Our Ability To Successfully Grow Our Business. We are highly dependent upon the services of Mr. Friedman, our CEO, President and Chairman. The permanent loss of our key executive could have a material adverse effect upon our operating results. We may not be able to locate a suitable replacement if his services were lost. We do not maintain key man life insurance on him. Our future success will also depend, in part, upon our ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel. Our inability to retain additional key executives and to attract new, qualified personnel could cause us to curtail our business operations.

We have not paid any cash dividend to date and we will not be able to pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. The declaration and payment of dividends is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and to the above mentioned limitations imposed under the New Jersey Business Corporations Act.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

Some of the information in this section contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate" and "continue," or similar words.

 

We believe it is important to communicate our expectations. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or over which we have no control. Our actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Unless stated otherwise, the words “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company” or “Fresh Harvest” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K collectively refers to Fresh Harvest Products, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the “Parent Company”), and subsidiaries.

 

Overview

 

We were formed in New Jersey as a blank check company on April 21, 2005 with no operations, assets or purpose other than the purpose of seeking a privately held operating company as an acquisition or merger candidate. From December 16, 2005 through October 11, 2012, our business plan had been to develop proprietary natural, organic and healthy products to sell, market and distribute. Our goal is to bring healthy, great tasting natural and organic products at affordable prices to the mass markets. We sold our products to select supermarkets chains and retailers in the United States.

 

We sold our products to consumers at, what we believe are, reasonable prices through local, regional and national supermarkets, retailers, distributors, brokers, and wholesalers. Our strategy was to focus on finding and developing and selling the best organic and natural food products in the world. Part of this strategy is to have the “Wings of Nature™” or “AC LaRocco” names branded on our products, as well acquiring other natural and organic food brands.

 

During October 2012, the Parent Company began integrating a digital plan and strategy which shifted the Company’s focus to expanding the online network and community, as well as an expansion of online services, with a focus on developing various SaaS models in the health, wellness, fitness, lifestyles of health and sustainability (LOHAS) and healthcare industries.

 

The Company expects to develop, license and acquire software applications that will generate revenue through subscription fees, in-app upgrades, purchases and advertising. The Company is currently working on several software applications including a calorie calculator and food comparison software solution so that consumers can be informed and compare what foods they are eating and be able to accurately calculate their daily calories per item, as well as compare foods with each other to learn and understand what the healthier options are. The Company is actively seeking strategic partners and acquisition targets in order to grow and expand.

 

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012, we did not generate any revenues as we were integrating our new business model, and developing software products.

 

As of October 31, 2012, the Company had current assets of $0. The Company has no liquid cash and other liquid assets on hand as of October 31, 2012 and does not have sufficient funds to operate for the next 12 months. Accordingly, we will be required to raise additional funds to meet our short and long-term planned goals. There can be no assurance that such funds, if available at all, can be obtained on terms reasonable to us. In this regard, we have obtained and will continue to attempt to obtain (short and long term) loans for inventory purchases, new product development, expansion, advertising and marketing. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in obtaining the aforementioned financings (either debt or equity) on terms acceptable to us, or otherwise.

 

Our unaudited financial statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our obligations in the normal course of business.

 

As of and for the years ended October 31, 2012 and 2011, our auditors have expressed substantial doubt we will continue as a going concern.

Results of Operations for the Fiscal Year Ending October 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011

 

Financial Information from Comparative Fiscal Year Periods

 

For the year ended October 31, 2012, we recorded gross revenues of $0 versus $0 for an increase of $0 or 0% over the year ended October 31, 2011, net of discontinued operations.

 

For the year ended October 31, 2012, gross profit was $0 versus $0 for a 0% change year ended October 31, 2011, net of discontinued operations.

 

For the year ended October 31, 2012, gross profit in percentages was 0% versus 0% over the year ended October 31, 2011, net of discontinued operations.

 

For the year ended October 31, 2012, operating expenses was $1,420,092 versus $988,588, an increase of 43.50% over the year ended October 31, 2011, net of discontinued operations. The increase is primarily due to an increase in general and administrative and sales and marketing expenses.

 

For the year ended October 31, 2012, interest expense on our convertible notes payable decreased to $81,192 from $91,579 or 11.34% over the year ended October 31, 2011. This decrease is primarily due to the conversion of several notes payable during the year ended October 31, 2012.

 

For the year ended October 31, 2012, we realized a net loss of $1,448,485 as compared to a net loss of $1,101,547 for the year ended October 31, 2011. The increase of 31.5% was due to several factors, including the increases in sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, we have not been able to finance our business from cash flows from operations and have been reliant upon loans and proceeds from the sale of equity which may not be available to us in the future, or if available, on reasonable terms. Accordingly, if we are unable to obtain funding from loans and the sale of our equity, it is unlikely that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

 

As of October 31, 2012, we had current assets of $0 and we had total liabilities of $2,100,017.

 

Currently, we do not have sufficient financial resources to implement or complete our business plan. We cannot be assured that revenue from operations will be sufficient to fund our activities during the next 12 months. Accordingly, we will have to seek alternate sources of capital. We can offer no assurance that we will be able to raise such funds on acceptable terms to us or otherwise. If we are unsuccessful in our attempts to raise sufficient capital, we may have to cease operations or postpone our plans to initiate or complete our business plan. Our insolvent financial condition also may create a risk that we may be forced to file for protection under applicable bankruptcy laws or state insolvency statutes. We also may face the risk that a receiver may be appointed. We face that risk and other risks resulting from our current financial condition. For these and other reasons, our management recognizes the adverse difficulties and continuing severe challenges we face. Apart from the limited funds that we have received there can be no assurance that we will receive any financing or funding from any source or if any financing should be obtained, that existing shareholders will not incur substantial, immediate, and permanent dilution of their existing investment.

 

If we are unable to raise the required financing, we may have to cease operations. Currently, we have a limited credit history with vendors, suppliers, manufacturers, packagers and food producers; we must pay for our purchases “up front” and are not granted credit terms. This will continue until we have established a satisfactory credit history. We cannot estimate, with any certainty, how long this may take, or if it will occur at all. Our inability to obtain credit from such providers has a significant impact upon our liquidity and our ability to utilize funds for other purposes. Similarly, if and when we hire additional personnel, including management and sales personnel, the cost related to such hiring will have a significant impact on our liquidity and deployment of funds.

 

As of October 31, 2012, the Company owed the Internal Revenue Service and New York State payroll related taxes in the amounts of $135,875 and $30,045, respectively, plus applicable interest and penalties. The total amount due to both taxing authorities including penalties and interest as of October 31, 2012 was $165,959 subject to further penalties and interest plus accruals on unpaid wages. The Internal Revenue Service has placed a federal tax lien on all of the assets of the Company.

 

On September 6, 2011, the Parent Company filed, with the Secretary of State of the State of New Jersey, a Certificate of Amendment to the Parent Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of the Company’s common stock to 2,000,000,000 shares.

Inflation

 

We do not believe that inflation had a significant impact on our results of operations for the periods presented.

(“R&S”), entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the parties have agreed to enter into a transaction whereby (i) Foods & R&S release the Company and the Subsidiary from their respective debt obligations to Foods & R&S, including the Secured Promissory Note, the Security Agreement, the Tri-party Agreement, the Assignment and License Agreement (between the Subsidiary and R&S), the Accounts Collection “Lock Box Agreement (between the Subsidiary and R&S), and the personal guaranty of the Subsidiaries obligations to R&S executed by Michael Friedman, the Company’s President & CEO; and, (ii) Foods shall assume obligations and fees due R&S and a certain food broker for a retail client of Subsidiary’s, in consideration for the assignment to Foods of the rights, title and interest in certain intellectual property rights of Subsidiary and R&S.

Assignment of Property Agreement

 

On October 11, 2012, the Company, the Subsidiary, R&S and Foods entered into an Assignment of Intellectual Property Agreement pursuant to which the Company and the Subsidiary transferred to Foods at the Closing all of the Company’s and the Subsidiary’s right, title and interest in and to certain AC LaRocco brand properties, including without limitation all trademarks, trade names, copyrights, intellectual property rights and other related rights thereto (the “Transferred Property”).

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including the recoverability of tangible and intangible assets, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the periods covered.

 

A summary of accounting policies that have been applied to the historical financial statements can be found in the notes to our consolidated financial statements.

 

We evaluate our estimates on an on-going basis. The most significant estimates relate to deferred financing and issuance costs, and the fair value of financial instruments. We base our estimates on historical company and industry experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which, form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results may differ materially from those estimates.

 

The following is a brief discussion of our critical accounting policies and methods, and the judgments and estimates used by us in their application.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results may differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company maintains cash balances in a non-interest bearing account that currently does not exceed federally insured limits. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

 

Net Loss Per Share Calculation

Basic net loss per common share ("EPS") is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per shares is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding, assuming all dilutive potential common shares were issued.

 

Revenue Recognition and Sales Incentives

Sales will be recognized when an online transaction is processed, which occurs when a user of one of software products purchases the products online or in an app. Sales are reported net of sales incentives, which could include discounts and promotions.

 

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is the total of the current taxes payable and the net of the change in the deferred income taxes. Provision is made for the deferred income taxes where differences exist between the period in which transactions affect current taxable income and the period in which they enter into the determination of net income in the financial statements.

 

Advertising

Advertising is expensed when incurred.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments, including accounts payable are reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements at carrying value, which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

Share-based compensation

The Company accounts for common stock issued to employees, directors, and consultants in accordance with the provisions of the ASC 718 Stock Based Compensation. The compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions will be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The cost associated with common stock issued to employees, directors and consultants will recognized, at fair value, on the date issued. Awards granted to non-employee consultants will be subsequently re-measured to current fair value until performance is completed or a performance commitment exists.

 

For the years ended October 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized $0 and $252,500 in stock based compensation expense.

 

Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions
The Parent Company and or its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state, and local jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examination by tax authorities for the years prior to October 31, 2006. With respect to state and local jurisdictions, with limited exception, the Parent Company and or its subsidiaries are no longer subject to income tax audits prior to October 31, 2007. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by various taxing authorities. Although the outcome of tax audits is always uncertain, the Company believes that adequate amounts of tax, interest and penalties have been provided for any adjustments that may result from these open tax years.

  

As of October 31, 2012, based on Management’s review of the Company’s tax position, the Parent Company and or subsidiaries had no significant unrecognized tax liabilities

FRESH HARVEST PRODUCTS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

October 31, 2012

(unaudited)

 

NOTE 1. GENERAL ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

 

Fresh Harvest Products, Inc. (the “Parent Company”) is a corporation formed in the State of New Jersey. Until October of 2012, we were a developer of proprietary brands and a marketer of organic and natural food products. Our goal was to make our “Wings of Nature™” and “AC LaRocco” brands, national brands of organic and natural foods that would attract consumers because of high quality and affordable pricing.

 

We sold our products to consumers at, what we believe are, reasonable prices through local, regional and national supermarkets, retailers, distributors, brokers, and wholesalers. Our strategy was to focus on finding and developing and selling the best organic and natural food products in the world. Part of this strategy is to have the “Wings of Nature™” or “AC LaRocco” names branded on our products, as well acquiring other natural and organic food brands.

 

During October 2012, the Parent Company began integrating a digital plan and strategy which shifted the Company’s focus to expanding the online network and community, as well as an expansion of online services, with a focus on developing various SaaS models in the health, wellness, fitness, lifestyles of health and sustainability (LOHAS) and healthcare industries.

 

The Company expects to develop, license and acquire software applications that will generate revenue through subscription fees, in-app upgrades, purchases and advertising. The Company is currently working on several software applications including a calorie calculator and food comparison software solution so that consumers can be informed and compare what foods they are eating and be able to accurately calculate their daily calories per item, as well as compare foods with each other to learn and understand what the healthier options are. The Company is actively seeking strategic partners and acquisition targets in order to grow and expand.

 

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012, we did not generate any revenues as we were integrating our new business model, and developing software products.

 

NOTE 2. LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the continuation of operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

 

For the years ended October 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company reported a net loss of $1,488,485 and $1,101,547, respectively.

 

As of October 31, 2012, the Company maintained total assets of $0, total liabilities including long-term debt of $2,100,017 along with an accumulated deficit of $9,318,185.

 

Management believes that additional capital will be required to fund operations through the year ending October 31, 2013 and beyond, as it attempts to generate increasing revenue, and develop new products. Management intends to attempt to raise capital through additional equity offerings and debt obligations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining financing at the level needed or on terms acceptable to the Company. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

The Company’s insolvent financial condition also may create a risk that we may be forced to file for protection under applicable bankruptcy laws or state insolvency statutes. We also may face the risk that a receiver may be appointed. We face that risk and other risks resulting from our current financial condition. For these and other reasons, our management recognizes the adverse difficulties and continuing severe challenges we face. Apart from the limited funds that we have received there can be no assurance that we will receive any financing or funding from any source or if any financing should be obtained, that existing shareholders will not incur substantial, immediate, and permanent dilution of their existing investment.

 

The Company’s operations are subject to certain additional risks and uncertainties including, among others, dependence on outside suppliers and manufacturers, competition, dependence on its exclusive license and relationship with the licensor, uncertainties regarding patents and proprietary rights, dependence on key personnel, and other business risks. In addition, there is no assurance, assuming the Company is successful in raising additional capital that the Company will be successful in achieving profitability or positive cash flow.

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with General Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which management believes are necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of and for the years ended October 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

Basis of Consolidation

The Company prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts, balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results may differ significantly from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company maintains cash balances in a non-interest bearing account that currently does not exceed federally insured limits. For the purpose of the consolidated statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of October 31, 2012.

 

Net Loss Per Share Calculation

Basic net loss per common share ("EPS") is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per shares is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding, assuming all dilutive potential common shares were issued.

 

Revenue Recognition and Sales Incentives

Sales will be recognized when an online transaction is processed, which occurs when a user of one of software products purchases the products online or in an app. Sales are reported net of sales incentives, which could include discounts and promotions.

 

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is the total of the current taxes payable and the net of the change in the deferred income taxes. Provision is made for the deferred income taxes where differences exist between the period in which transactions affect current taxable income and the period in which they enter into the determination of net income in the financial statements.

 

Advertising

Advertising is expensed when incurred. For the years ended October 31, 2012 and 2011, advertising expense was $0 and $67,977, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments, including accounts payable are reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements at carrying value, which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

Share-based compensation

The Company accounts for common stock issued to employees, directors, and consultants in accordance with the provisions of the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718 Stock Based Compensation. The compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions will be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. The cost associated with common stock issued to employees, directors and consultants will be recognized, at fair value, on the date issued. Awards granted to non-employee consultants will be subsequently re-measured to current fair value until performance is completed or a performance commitment exists.

 

For the years ended October 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized $752,230 and $252,500 in stock based compensation expense.

As of October 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had $32,312 and $6,237, respectively, in outstanding notes payable to related parties.

The Company’s Convertible Notes gave rise to derivative financial instruments. The Notes embodied certain terms and conditions that were not clearly and closely related to the host debt agreement in terms of economic risks and characteristics. These terms and features consist of the embedded conversion option.

Current accounting principles that are provided in ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging require derivative financial instruments to be classified in liabilities and carried at fair value with changes recorded in income. In addition, the standards do not permit an issuer to account separately for individual derivative terms and features embedded in hybrid financial instruments that require bifurcation and liability classification as derivative financial instruments. Rather, such terms and features must be bundled together and fair valued as a single, compound embedded derivative. The Company has selected the Monte Carlo Simulations valuation technique to fair value the compound embedded derivative because it believes that this technique is reflective of all significant assumption types, and ranges of assumption inputs, that market participants would likely consider in transactions involving compound embedded derivatives. Such assumptions include, among other inputs, interest risk assumptions, credit risk assumptions and redemption behaviors in addition to traditional inputs for option models such as market trading volatility and risk-free rates. The Monte Carlo Simulations technique is a level three valuation technique because it requires the development of significant internal assumptions in addition to observable market indicators.

 

Significant inputs and results arising from the Monte Carlo Simulations process are as follows for the compound embedded derivative that has been bifurcated from the Convertible Notes and classified in liabilities:

NOTE 7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Series A Preferred Stock

 

Certificate of Designations

 

On February 23, 2011, the Parent Company filed a Certificate of Designations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”) with the Secretary of State of the State of New Jersey. The Certificate of Designations, subject to the requirements of New Jersey law, states the designation, number of shares, powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the Parent Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). In summary, the Certificate of Designations provides:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

October 31, 2012

(unaudited)

  

Number

5,000,000 shares of the Parent Company’s Preferred Stock are designated as shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

Dividends

Any dividends (other than dividends on common stock payable solely in common stock or dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock payable solely in Series A Preferred Stock) declared or paid in any fiscal year will be declared or paid among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and common stock then outstanding in proportion to the greatest whole number of shares of common stock which would be held by each such holder if all shares of Series A Preferred Stock were converted into shares of common stock pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations. The Parent Company’s Board of Directors is under no obligation to declare dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

Conversion

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is generally convertible into 100 shares of the Parent Company’s common stock (the “Conversion Rate”).

 

Liquidation

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Parent Company, the assets of the Parent Company legally available for distribution by the Parent Company would be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and common stock in proportion to the number of shares of common stock held by them, with the shares of Series A Preferred Stock being treated for this purpose as if they had been converted to shares of common stock at the then applicable Conversion Rate.

 

Voting

On any matter presented to the stockholders of the Parent Company for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Parent Company (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of meeting), each holder of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock would be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter. Except as provided by law or by the other provisions of the Parent Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, holders of Series A Preferred Stock vote together with the holders of common stock as a single class.

 

NOTE 8. PROVISION FOR CORPORATE INCOME TAXES

 

The Company provides for income taxes by the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. This also requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

The Company has approximately $1,950,000 in gross deferred tax assets at October 31, 2012, resulting from net operating loss carry forwards. A valuation allowance has been recorded to fully offset these deferred tax assets because the future realization of the related income tax benefits is uncertain. Accordingly, the net provision for income taxes is zero as of October 31, 2012.

 

As of October 31, 2012, the Company has federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $5,000,000 available to offset future taxable income through 2031.

 

As of October 31 2012, the difference between the tax provision at the statutory federal income tax rate and the tax provision attributable to loss before income taxes is as follows (in percentages):

 

Statutory federal income tax rate

Fin 48 - Accounting for Uncertain Tax Positions

 

The Parent Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state, and local jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examination by tax authorities for the years prior to October 31, 2005. With respect to state and local jurisdictions, with limited exception, the Parent Company and or its subsidiaries are no longer subject to income tax audits prior to October 31, 2005. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by various taxing authorities. Although the outcome of tax audits is always uncertain, the Company believes that adequate amounts of tax, interest and penalties have been provided for any adjustments that may result from these open tax years.

 

Based on management’s review of the Company’s tax position, the Parent Company and subsidiaries had no significant unrecognized corporate tax liabilities as of October 31, 2012 and 2011 payable to the Internal Revenue Service due to the net operating loss carry-forward, however, the Company had yet to file its 2005 through 2009 Federal, New Jersey nor New York Corporate Income Tax Returns.

The Put Option Agreement describes a transaction where, once D&E loans the Company a total of $100,000, then D&E may, at its sole discretion, exercise their Put Option to merge their real estate asset (a laboratory space consisting of between 30, 000 and 40,000 sq ft within the Former MetroSouth Medical Center Campus Illinois) with the Company. Upon D&E exercising the Put Option, D&E shall be issued a total of 83% of all of the outstanding shares of stock of the Company.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

 

There are not and have not been any disagreements between the Company and its accountants on any matter of accounting principles, practices or financial statement disclosure that is reportable under this Item 9.

 

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with the preparation of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, an evaluation was carried out by the Company’s management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) as of October 31, 2012. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

Based on that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information was not accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process, under the supervision of the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

 

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets;

 

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the board of directors; and

 

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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 or procedures may deteriorate.

 

The Company’s management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, which assessment identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that creates a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement in annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Since the assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting did identify a material weakness, management considers its internal control over financial reporting to be ineffective.

 

 
28

Table of Contents

 

Management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting had the following deficiency:

 

 

We were unable to maintain any segregation of duties within our business operations due to our reliance on a single individual fulfilling the role of sole officer. This control deficiency did result in audit adjustments to our 2012 and 2012 interim and annual financial statements. Accordingly, we have determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

 

To the extent reasonably possible, given our limited resources, our goal is, upon sufficient operating cash flow and/or capital, to separate the responsibilities of principal executive officer and principal financial officer, intending to rely on two or more individuals. We will also seek to expand our current board of directors to include additional individuals willing to perform directorial functions. Since the recited remedial actions will require that we hire or engage additional personnel, this material weakness 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 advice of outside professionals and consultants.

 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. We were not required to have, nor have we, engaged our independent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the rules of the Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

During the year ended October 31, 2012, there has been no change in internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

BOARD COMMITTEES

 

As of October 31, 2012, our board of directors did not have nominating, audit or compensation committees. Our Board currently approves all services to be provided by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

 

Board Meetings; Nominating and Compensation Committees

 

The Board of Directors took a number of actions by written consent of all of the directors during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012. Such actions by the written consent of all directors are, according to New Jersey corporate law and the Company's by-laws, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called and held. The Company's directors and officers do not receive remuneration from the Company unless approved by the Board of Directors or pursuant to an employment contract. No compensation has been paid to the Company's directors for attendance at any meetings during the last fiscal year.

 

The Company does not have standing nominating or compensation committees, or committees performing similar functions. The Company's board of directors believes that it is not necessary to have a compensation committee at this time because the functions of such committee are adequately performed by the board of directors. The board of directors also is of the view that it is appropriate for the Company not to have a standing nominating committee because the board of directors has performed and will perform adequately the functions of a nominating committee. The Company is not a "listed company" under SEC rules and is therefore not required to have a compensation committee or a nominating committee.

 

AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

 

The Company’s Board of Directors does not have an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by Item 407 of Regulation S-K. The Company has not been able to attract anyone to its Board of Directors with the requisite background.

 

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors, executive officers, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Specifically, for the year ending October 31, 2012, our officers, directors, and greater than ten percent beneficial shareholders were required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To the Company’s knowledge based solely on a review of Forms 3, 4, and 5 (and any amendments thereof) received by the Company, for the year ending October 31, 2012, each of the Company’s directors, executive officers, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities during the year ending October 31, 2012 made the required filings.

 

CODE OF ETHICS

 

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of our executive officers and employees. A code of ethics relates to written standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

 

 

·

Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

 

·

Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that are filed with, or submitted to, the SEC and in other public communications made by an issuer;

 

·

Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

 

·

The prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the code; and

 

·

Accountability for adherence to the code.

 

Due to the limited scope of the Company's current operations, the Company has not adopted a corporate code of ethics that applies to its executive officers.

Conflicts of Interest

 

Certain conflicts of interest exist and may continue to exist between the Company and its officers and directors due to the fact that each has other business interests to which they devote their primary attention. Each officer and director may continue to do so notwithstanding the fact that management time should be devoted to the business of the Company.

 

Certain conflicts of interest may exist between the Company and its management, and conflicts may develop in the future. The Company has not established policies or procedures for the resolution of current or potential conflicts of interest between the Company, its officers and directors or affiliated entities. There can be no assurance that management will resolve all conflicts of interest in favor of the Company, and conflicts of interest may arise that can be resolved only through the exercise by management their best judgment as may be consistent with their fiduciary duties. Management will try to resolve conflicts to the best advantage of all concerned

 

Shareholder Communications

 

There has not been any defined policy or procedure requirements for stockholders to submit recommendations or nomination for directors. The board of directors does not believe that a defined policy with regard to the consideration of candidates recommended by stockholders is necessary at this time because it believes that, given the limited scope of the Company's operations, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until the Company's business operations are at a more advanced level. There are no specific, minimum qualifications that the board of directors believes must be met by a candidate recommended by the board of directors. Currently, the entire board of directors decides on nominees, on the recommendation of any member of the board of directors followed by the board's review of the candidates' resumes and interview of candidates. Based on the information gathered, the board of directors then makes a decision on whether to recommend the candidates as nominees for director. The Company does not pay any fee to any third party or parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying or evaluating potential nominee.

 

The Company does not have any restrictions on shareholder nominations under its certificate of incorporation or by-laws. The only restrictions are those applicable generally under New Jersey corporate law and the federal proxy rules, to the extent such rules are or become applicable. The board of directors will consider suggestions from individual shareholders, subject to evaluation of the person's merits. Stockholders may communicate nominee suggestions directly to the board of directors, accompanied by biographical details and a statement of support for the nominees. The suggested nominee must also provide a statement of consent to being considered for nomination. There are no formal criteria for nominees.

 

Indemnification

 

Under New Jersey corporate law and pursuant to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and contractual agreement, the Company may indemnify its officers and directors for various expenses and damages resulting from their acting in these capacities. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to the Company's officers or directors pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is therefore unenforceable.

Indebtedness to Management

 

As of October 31, 2012, the CEO of the Company has an accrued and unpaid annual salary of $144,000 and $24,000 in accrued and unpaid annual Directors Fees.

 

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Currently, our certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide for the indemnification our directors of the Company. Our board of directors can amend the by-laws, and since they own a majority of our shares outstanding, they can cause our certificate of incorporation to be amended so that we can indemnify our officers, employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by New Jersey law; provided, that such indemnified persons acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in our best interest, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful. We do not currently maintain liability insurance for our officers and directors. However, we may obtain such insurance in the future.

 

Similarly, our certificate of incorporation does provide for the exculpability of our directors from personal liability for claims of breach of duty made by our company or our shareholders. However, present board of directors because of their majority ownership of our shares, can amend our certificate of incorporation to provide that our officers will not be personally liable to us or our shareholders for damages for breach of any duty owed to us or our shareholders, except for liabilities arising from any breach of duty based upon an act or omission (i) in breach of the duty of loyalty to us, (ii) not in good faith or involving a knowing violation of law or (iii) resulting in receipt by such director or officer of an improper personal benefit.

 

Section 14A:3-5(2) of the New Jersey Business Corporation Act (the Act) empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a corporate agent (i.e., a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of another related corporation or enterprise), against reasonable costs (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful.

 

Section 14A:3-5(3) of the Act empowers a corporation to indemnify a corporate agent against reasonable costs (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by him or her in connection with any proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor which involves the corporate agent by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a corporate agent, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. However, no indemnification may be made in respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the Superior Court of New Jersey or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine that despite the adjudication of liability, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.

 

Section 14A:3-5(4) of the Act provides that to the extent that a corporate agent has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by him or her in connection therewith. Section 14A:3-5(8) provides that the indemnification provided for by Section 14A:3-5 shall not be deemed exclusive of any rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled, with certain exceptions. Section 14A:3-5(9) empowers a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a director or officer of the corporation against any liability asserted against him or expenses incurred by him or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liabilities and expenses under Section 14A:3-5.

 

Section 14A:2-7 of the Act provides that a New Jersey corporation's "certificate of incorporation may provide that a director or officer shall not be personally liable, or shall be liable only to the extent therein provided, to the corporation or its shareholders for damages for breach of any duty owed to the corporation or its shareholders, except that such provision shall not relieve a director or officer from liability for any breach of duty based upon an act or omission (a) in breach of such person's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (b) not in good faith or involving a knowing violation of law or (c) resulting in receipt by such person of an improper personal benefit. As used in this subsection, an act or omission in breach of a person's duty of loyalty means an act or omission which that person knows or believes to be contrary to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders in connection with a matter in which he has a material conflict of interest."

Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that may be permitted to directors or officers under New Jersey, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

 

The following table sets forth information about the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of October 31, 2012 by (i) each person who we know is the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock (ii) each of our directors, (iii) each of our executive officers and (iv) all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

(1) Applicable percentage of ownership is based on 1,635,610,445 shares of common stock outstanding as of October 31, 2012 together with securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock within 60 days of October 31, 2012 for each shareholder. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock subject to securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of October 31, 2012 are deemed to be beneficially owned by the person holding such securities for the purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of such person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. For purposes of this table, the Company has assumed that all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock within 60 days of October 31, 2012.

 

(2) Unless otherwise indicated, the shareholder’s address is c/o Fresh Harvest Products, Inc., 280 Madison Avenue, Suite 1005, New York, New York 10016.

 

(3) Mr. Friedman is the President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Parent Company. Includes 456,928,040 shares of common stock and assumes the conversion of 5,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by Mr. Friedman into 500,000,000 shares of common stock.

 

(4) Member of the Parent Company’s Board of Directors. Includes 164,333,333 shares of common stock held by Mr. Odintz. The exemption from registration for the issuances of the Series A Preferred Shares was based on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

 

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

 

Related Party Transactions

 

During the fiscal year, the Company rents an office space from Arthur Friedman, the father of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. The rent is approximately $1,050 per month for our current office located in New York and we did not pay, but accrued, rent for our office during the years ended 2012 and 2011. For the year ended October 31, 2012 and 2011, rent expense was $16,450 and $7,600, respectively.

 

As of October 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had $32,312 and $6,237, respectively, in outstanding notes payable to related parties. The outstanding notes payable have one-year terms and 10% interest rates. The principal amount of the notes and accrued and unpaid interest is automatically convertible into common shares of the Company upon the due date at $0.0001 per share, subject to adjustments. Some of these notes are in default.

Director Independence

 

Mr. Friedman is not considered an “independent” member of the Parent Company’s Board of Directors as that term is defined by NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605.

 

Mr. Odintz was considered to be an “independent” member of the Parent Company’s Board of Directors as that term is defined by NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605. We believe that Mr. Friedman and Mr. Cingari would not be considered “independent” pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605 for purposes of membership on any audit, compensation or nominating committees established by the Parent Company’s Board of Directors.

 

Our common stock was currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, or the OTCBB, and OTCQB. Since neither the OTCBB nor the OTCQB has its own rules for director independence, we use the definition of independence established by the NYSE Amex (formerly the American Stock Exchange). Under applicable NYSE Amex rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of our Board, that person does not have a relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. We periodically review the independence

 

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

 

The following table sets forth fees billed to us by our independent auditors for the years ended 2012 and 2011 for (i) services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements and the review of our quarterly financial statements, (ii) services rendered that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements that are not reported as Audit Fees, and (iii) services rendered in connection with tax preparation, compliance, advice and assistance.

This authority to pre-approve non-audit services may be delegated to one or more members of the Audit Committee, who shall present all decisions to pre-approve an activity to the full Audit Committee at its first meeting following such decision.

The Board of Directors acts as the audit committee of the Company, and accordingly, all services are approved by all the members of the Board of Directors. The Board of Director’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm, including the estimated fees and other terms of any such engagement.
