Overview of the Services:

 

ZIYEN Inc. aka Ziyen – the future of business intelligence.

 

Ziyen (http://www.ziyen.com) is set up to be the future of business intelligence by providing a suite of cutting edge digital business intelligence, marketing and software services.

 

Our Mission Statement is to deliver companies new clients, contracts and company growth by utilizing the latest in business intelligence software to enhance client’s sales operations.

 

There is a current gap in the current market place to create a new B2B Global Business Intelligence and Software model which can revolutionize how sales operations currently operate.

 

We understand that time is most important commodity for any business, and especially the sales operations, and all of our business intelligence services is centered rounding saving the client time.

 

The subscription to these portals will be on a monthly or annual recurring billing model, ranging from $99 to $399 per month, depending on the specific services the client is looking for, and can be stopped at any time.

 

Ziyen currently operates the B2B Procurement Portals Rebuilding Iraq (http://www.rebuildingiraq.net) and Cable Contracts (http://www.cablecontracts.net).

 

On average less than 10% of companies winning government contracts and public sector tenders use an outside company to provide them this information, and currently less than 5% of registered businesses actually bid on these contracts. Therefore, the potential growth in the market place is huge.

 

We currently publish tenders on behalf of over 500 buyers and this includes International Oil Companies, Construction Companies, Iraq Government Agencies, US Embassy, World Bank, US, UK and European Government authorities, etc

 

 4 

 

 

Currently we have over 120,000 followers across social media and this is now growing at a rate of 15,000 + per month.

 

B2B Procurement Portals

 

Rebuilding Iraq is our first B2B Procurement Portal, and the flagship service for the company. We are currently the number one international source for information on tenders, contracts, news and marketing services in Iraq.

 

Rebuilding Iraq – http://www.rebuildingiraq.net has just passed over 200,000 monthly users.

 

We publish tender information from over 250 buyers in Iraq from all sectors of Industry, including International Oil Companies, Construction Companies, Iraq Government Agencies, US Embassy, World Bank, etc.

 

Ziyen Software and Business Intelligence

 

Each portal will be operated from a control panel, which each client will have 100% full control in updating.

 

In addition to providing all the services and features of the B2B procurement portal, inside the control panel we will have section for information and training videos and a platform to resell cutting edge software for companies to use to enhance their own sales operations, website traffic, generate new business new leads, all designed in order to win the clients new business.

 

We envisage this will operate similar to Amazon business model, but will ensure that any software featured has been tried and tested prior to promoting it to our users.

 

We will have a huge captive audience globally of sales, business development and senior management who are looking to win new business, therefore these add on services will provide a bolt on upgrade product to target that market place.

 

Our first product Ziyen Technology has been developed to provide companies with more organic enquiries to their website, which from a sales perspective is normally some of the best leads a company receives.

 

Market Analysis and Opportunity

 

Currently there are services providing information on tenders and contracts, but they are designed as a one stop shop covering every single type of industry or product featured on the website, with the majority coming from India. Each website features thousands of products and services, non related by industry.

 

 5 

 

 

This one-size fits all approach has created some successful companies, but there is no recognized global leader in the market place. The percentage of companies using this service in most countries is still very small.

 

On average less than 10% of companies winning government contracts and public sector tenders use an outside company to provide them this information, and currently less than 5% of registered businesses actually bid on these contracts. Therefore, the potential growth in the market place is huge.

 

However, in addition to the potential growth, at Ziyen we are looking to stand on the shoulders of those of who have gone before us and take the service to the next level, by creating an all encompassing a B2B Procurement Portal which offer additional services to people operating in that particular specific industry. This includes a section for private buyers to publish contracts, feature in a procurement directory, jobs board and news websites.

 

The website will operate as a freemium model with a number of the services available for free in order to grow each website quickly, with the strategy to upsell the service to those interested in receiving the information to win new business.

 

Therefore, this targeted approach allows us to create the trust from those operating in that Industry as they now have all the information required to continuing to return to their specific industry sector portal on a daily basis.

 

Management and Directors

 

Alastair Caithness has over 10 years’ international experience selling business intelligence and contract information. In the past he set up an Oil and Gas Project tracker with a specific focus in the Middle East, and in his previous role was Head of Sales & Marketing for the leading e-procurement and tender alert company in the UK, where they worked with over 7,500 public purchasing authorities to provide key tender information to 200,000 private suppliers. He is originally from Scotland, with BA Honors Business Studies Degree from the Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen and now lives and resides (Current Green Card Holder) in San Diego with his wife and two boys who are all US Citizens.

 

Long Term Objectives

 

The Company’s long term objective is to establish Ziyen as the leading international company targeting hundreds of industry sectors globally in multiple languages providing key contract and tender information to business development and sales operations.

 

 6 

 

 

Short Term Objectives

 

The Company’s short term objectives are to complete the development of an updated iteration of the B2B Procurement Portal, where we are going to implement a different coding structure in order to handle huge data information. The new software will be able to operate on a modularization process and be able to duplicate the structure of the website to be able to open a new portal instantaneously.

 

We can then populate the new portal with relevant contracts and additional information for this website, and then target an aggressive marketing strategy to launch the new website to that specific industry sector

 

Risk Factors

 

Summary of Risk Factors

 

An investment in the Units involves various risks. These include risks that are widespread and associated with any form of business and specific risks associated with the Company's business and its involvement in the insurance and tech market generally. Prospective investors should carefully consider the following risk factors, in addition to the other information presented in this Offering Circular, before making an investment decision. An investment in the Units is suitable only for investors who understand the risk factors associated with this type of investment and who can afford a loss of all or part of the investment. You should carefully consider the matters discussed beginning on page 3 of this Offering Circular before you decide whether to invest in the Units. Some of the risks include the following:

 

(1)Company's limited history: The Company is in the early stage of development and must be considered a startup. As such, the Company is subject to many risks common to such enterprises, including undercapitalization, cash shortages, limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources and the lack of revenues.

 

(2)Company's negative operating cash flow: The Company currently has no revenues from its operations and may use the proceeds of the Offering to fund any negative operating cash flow.

 

(3)Future financing requirements: The Company will need additional financing to continue in business and to implement the developments identified in ITEM 6 of this Offering Circular and there can be no assurance that such financing will be available or, if available, will be on reasonable terms.

 

(4)The Company cannot guarantee that the service will be used by companies in multiple industry sectors.

 

(5)The Company’s commercially viability depends on the awareness of the service in entering different market places, therefore the marketing and advertising funding is key.

 

(6)Other key risk factors out with the Company’s control include how suppliers are invited to bid on contracts, updates to government procurement legislation and changes in the structure of tender documents. The effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted.

 

 7 

 

 

(7)Governmental and regulatory requirements: Government approvals and permits are currently, and may in the future be, required in connection with the Company's operations. Where required, obtaining necessary permits and licenses can be a complex, time consuming process and the Company cannot assure that required permits will be obtainable on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or at all. The costs and delays associated with obtaining necessary permits and complying with these permits and applicable laws and regulations could stop or materially delay or restrict the Company from proceeding with the development of an exploration project or the operation or further development of a mine.

 

(8)Limited public trading market: The Company’s Common Shares are currently not listed on a public market in the United States.

 

(9)Dividends: Payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors after taking into account many factors, including the Company's operating results, financial condition and current and anticipated cash needs.

 

The Company’s Limited History

 

The Company is in the early stage of development and must be considered a start-up. As such, the Company is subject to many risks common to such enterprises, including under-capitalization, cash shortages, limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources and the lack of revenues. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving a return on shareholders' investment and the likelihood of success must be considered in light of its early stage of operations. The Company has limited financial resources has no source of operating cash flow and there is no assurance that additional funding will be available to it for further exploration and development of the Company's properties or to fulfill its obligations under any applicable agreements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the terms of such financing will be favorable. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and development of the Company's sole property.

 

Negative Operating Cash Flow

 

The Company currently has no revenues from its operations and may use the proceeds of the Offering to fund any negative operating cash flow.

 

Going Concern Risk

 

The business of developing and marketing technological properties involves a high degree of risk and, therefore, there is no assurance that current marketing programs will result in profitable operations. The Company cannot guarantee that the service will be used by companies in multiple industry sectors. Investors should not invest any funds in the Offering unless they can afford to lose their entire investment.

 

 8 

 

 

Development and Operations Risks

 

The development and marketing of technological applications involves significant risks that even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate.

 

While the service to provide business intelligence, information on contracts already functions in one market segment. Major expenditures may be required to develop the product to target hundreds of market places simultaneously, and the considerable cost to market the business to target those sectors to ensure profitability.

 

Whether the Ziyen Services will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, some of which are: the awareness of the service, competitors in the same market, consumers’ experience with the Company’s customer services department; changes in and application of government regulations, including regulations relating to internet usage, and taxes on internet purchases. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.

 

Technology operations generally involve a high degree of risk. Such operations are subject to worldwide market/developer activity, even some such activities that may enjoy sovereign government support.

 

Future Financing Requirements

 

The Company will need additional financing to continue in business and to implement the programs set out in ITEM 6 – USE OF PROCEEDS TO ISSUER on page 13 of this Offering Circular and there can be no assurance that such financing will be available or, if available, will be on reasonable terms. If financing is obtained by issuing Common Shares from treasury, control of the Company may change and investors under the Offering may suffer additional dilution. To the extent financing is not available, programmer commitments, advertising payments, and retailer payments, if any, may not be satisfied and could result in a loss of earning opportunities by the Company.

 

Dependence Upon Key Personnel:

 

The Company, in order to successfully implement its growth plans, is dependent upon its current Board of Directors which includes Alastair Caithness, CEO. The loss of any party could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s business prospects. The Company will depend heavily on its management team to effectively implement its Business Plan. The success of the Company will be largely dependent upon the performance of its key officers.

 

 9 

 

 

Difficulty of Planned Expansion;

 

The Company plans to continue to expand its level of operations following this offering. To manage its growth effectively, the Company must continue to improve and expand its existing resources and production systems. To do so, it must attract, train and motivate qualified managerial, financial, sales and marketing personnel. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to successfully achieve these goals.

 

Market for Securities

 

There is no assurance that the listing of the securities of the Company will provide a liquid market for such securities. See ITEM 11 – SECURITIES BEING OFFERED on page 29 of this Offering Circular. There can be no assurance that an active public market for the Company's Common Shares will develop or be sustained after completion of the Offering. The price of the Units in this Offering was determined by the Company based upon several factors, and may bear no relationship to the price that will prevail in the public market. The holding of Common Shares involves a high degree of risk and should be undertaken only by investors whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume such risks and who have no need for immediate liquidity in their investment.

 

Competition

 

Currently there are services providing information on tenders and contracts, but they are designed as a one stop shop covering every single type of industry or product featured on the website, with the majority coming from India. Each website features thousands of products and services, non related by industry.

 

This one-size fits all approach has created some successful companies, but there is no recognized global leader in the market place. The percentage of companies using this service in most countries is still very small.

 

On average less than 10% of companies winning government contracts and public sector tenders use an outside company to provide them this information, and currently less than 5% of registered businesses actually bid on these contracts. Therefore, the potential growth in the market place is huge.

 

In a previous role I was Head of Sales in a company in the UK which focused providing only tender alerts for the UK government market place. The company turned over US$8 million operating on a net profit margin of 40%, therefore the model in essence already works even in a basic format, but now we are targeting hundreds of markets simultaneously.

 

Increased competition could result in increased costs and reduced profitability which could materially adversely affect the Company's revenues, operations and financial condition.

 

 10 

 

 

Dividend Policy

 

Payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors after taking into account many factors, including the Company's operating results, financial condition and current and anticipated cash needs.

 

Arbitrary Offering Price

 

The Offering Price of the Units has been determined by the Company. The Offering Price is not an indication of the value of the Units and the underlying technology comprising the Units or that any of the Units and the securities comprising the Units could be sold for an amount equal to the Offering Price or for any amount.

 

Factors Beyond the Company's Control

 

Application of business development services and technology depends upon a number of factors, not the least of which is the technical skill of the programmers developing the software. Other key factors out with the Company’s control include how suppliers are invited to bid on contracts, updates to government procurement legislation and changes in the structure of tender documents. The effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted.

 

ITEM 4. DILUTION

 

The price of the Units under the Offering is higher than the average per share value of the Common Shares previously issued. Accordingly, investors who purchase Units in the Offering will incur immediate dilution in the pro forma value of their Units. This means that investors that purchase Units will pay a price per Unit that exceeds the average per share value of the Company's previously issued Common Shares. The Company may from time to time issue additional Units or Common Shares, which may result in dilution of existing shareholders if the Units are sold at a price that is less than the average per share value of the Common Shares previously issued.

 

Units issued by the Company over the past year have been sold for a price that is approximately $.24 less than the price per Unit sold under this Offering Circular, which is not materially different.

 

ITEM 5. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

No securities are being offered for the account of existing security holders.

 

A maximum of 64,000,000 Units are being offered by the Company on a “best efforts” basis. Each Unit is comprised of one Common Share. The Common Shares are a new issue from treasury. The Offering will close upon the earlier of (1) the sale of 64,000,000 Units, (2) One Year from the date this Offering begins, or (3) a date prior to one year from the date this Offering begins that is so determined by the Company (the “Offering Period”). The Company is planning the first closing approximately 60 days after this Offering Circular has been qualified by the SEC. The Company anticipates that there will be several closings during the course of the Offering. The Company has arbitrarily set the first closing approximately 60 days after this Offering Circular has been qualified by the SEC to allow the Company to access investor funds in stages, and closings are not subject to completion of the maximum under the Offering.

 

 11 

 

 

Prospective investors must send to the Company’s office a completed Subscription Agreement and payment of the subscription amount. The form of Subscription Agreement has been filed as Exhibit D under Part III of the offering statement pursuant to Regulation A relating to these securities filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Subscription amounts received by the Company will be deposited in the Company’s general bank account, and upon acceptance of the subscription by the Company, the funds will be available for the Company’s use. As there is no minimum amount to be raised under the Offering, the funds raised under the first and subsequent closings may not be sufficient to complete the activities described below in Item 6 – Use of Proceeds to Issuer, which may increase the risk to prospective investors of participating in the Offering. If any prospective Investor’s subscription is rejected, all funds received from such Investor will be returned without interest or deduction.

 

This Offering is made only pursuant to this Offering Circular and prospective Investors must read and rely on the information provided in this Offering Circular in connection with their decision to invest in the Units. Subject to limitations imposed by applicable securities laws, other materials may be prepared for marketing purposes. The Company will utilize one or more Crowdfunding websites to advertise the Offering to prospective investors. Such websites provide services for posting a profile of the Company. These Crowdfunding websites charge a monthly subscription fee for the services. The Company intends to post the Offering on Crowdfunder, Inc. and EquityNet, LLC and may use other similar websites. The subscription crowdfunding websites do not conduct any diligence or review of companies or deals before parties are permitted to raise funds using the websites. Summary information about the Company and the Offering will be posted on the Crowdfunding sites. Although such materials will not contain information in conflict with the information provided by this Offering Circular and will be prepared with a view to presenting consistent disclosure with respect to the Offering of Units, these materials will not give a complete understanding of this Offering, the Company or the Units and are not to be considered part of this Offering Circular.

This includes a section for private buyers to publish contracts, feature in a procurement directory, jobs board and news websites.

 

The website will operate as a freemium model with a number of the services available for free in order to grow each website quickly, with the strategy to upsell the service to those interested in receiving the information to win new business.

 

Therefore, this targeted approach allows us to create the trust from those operating in that Industry as they now have all the information required to continuing to return to their specific industry sector portal on a daily basis.

General Development of the Business

 

Long Term Objectives

 

The Company’s long term objective is to establish Ziyen as the leading international business intelligence and information company targeting hundreds of industry sectors globally in multiple languages providing key contract and tender information for business development and sales operations.

 

Short Term Objectives

 

The Company’s short term objectives are to complete the development of an updated iteration of the B2B Procurement Portal, where we are going to implement a different coding structure in order to handle huge data information. The new software will be able to operate on a modularization process and be able to duplicate the structure of the website to be able to open a new portal instantaneously.

 

We can then populate the new portal with relevant contracts and additional information for this website, and then target an aggressive marketing strategy to launch the new website to that specific industry sector.

2016 OVERVIEW

 

The Company’s main activities during the 2016 period were evaluating the potential for B2B Procurement Portal, developing the prototype portal, increasing followers on the website and across social media, planning the advertising, and working to organize the requisite funding.

 

On April 11, 2016, the Company issued 11,000,000 shares to the Company’s founder, Alastair Caithness, for services valued at $0.001 per share with the founder’s pledge of paying additional amounts as needed.

 

GOING CONCERN RISK

 

The Company has no source of operating cash flow and operations to date. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent on obtaining additional financing. Whether the Company will be successful with any future financing ventures is uncertain, and this uncertainty casts significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. While the Company intends to advance its plans through additional equity financing, there is no assurance that any funds will ultimately be available for operations.

 

COMMITMENTS

 

The Company has the following commitments for the next 12-month period: None

 

INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

Internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in compliance with GAAP. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that:

 

1.pertain to the maintenance of records that accurately and fairly reflect the transactions of the Company;

 

2.provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP;

 

3.ensure the Company’s receipts and expenditures are made only in accordance with authorization of management and the Company’s directors; and

 

4.provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized transactions that could have a material effect on the annual or interim financial statements. There were no changes in the Company’s business activities during the year-ended June 30, 2016, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal controls over financial reporting.

 

 19 

 

 

LIMITATIONS OF CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

The Company’s management, believe that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

 

Further, the design of a control system reflects the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, they cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the control. The design of any systems of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks including credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk. Risk management is carried out by the Company’s management team with guidance from the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors also provides regular guidance for overall risk management.

 

a)  Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with the counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and cash equivalents, and trade and other receivables. Cash is held with reputable chartered banks from which management believes the risk of loss is minimal. Included in trade and other receivables are taxes receivable from U.S.A. government authorities. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to financial instruments is minimal. The maximum credit risk exposure associated with the Company’s financial assets is the carrying value.

 

 20 

 

 

b)  Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they become due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient resources to meet liabilities when due. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had net working capital of $7,303. Management is continuously monitoring its working capital position and will raise funds through the equity markets as they are required. However, there is no certainty that the Company will be able to obtain funding by share issuances in the future. The Company is presently seeking to raise capital through an equity offering of Units. The Company had no contractual maturities of financial liabilities and other commitments as at June 30, 2016.

 

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

 

The Company’s objectives in managing its capital will be:

 

1.To have sufficient capital to ensure that the Company can continue to meet its commitments with respect to its development project and to meet its day to day operating requirements in order to continue as a going concern; and

 

2.To provide a long-term adequate return to shareholders.

 

The Company’s capital structure is comprised of working capital deficit and shareholders’ equity.

 

Ziyen is a development stage technology company which involves a high degree of risk. The Company has not determined whether its B2B Procurement Portals will earn revenue from its sales and therefore generate cash flow from operations. The Company’s primary source of funds will come from the issuance of capital stock.

 

The Company’s policy is to invest its excess cash in highly liquid, fully guaranteed, bank sponsored instruments.

 

The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the Company.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2016

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

 

Organization

 

Ziyen Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated pursuant to the laws of the State of Wyoming on April 11, 2016, and began operations on April 11, 2016 (Inception). The Company is set up to be the future of business intelligence by providing a suite of cutting edge digital business intelligence, marketing and software services in and outside of the United States. The business has had no revenues to date.

 

The Company has established a fiscal year end of June 30.

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statement presented in this report is of Ziyen Inc.

 

The Company maintains its accounting records on a cash basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

 

The financial statement presents the Balance Sheet, Statements of Operations, Shareholders' Deficit and Cash Flows of the Company. These financial statements are presented in United States dollars. The accompanying unaudited financial statement has been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods have been made and are of a recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed herein.

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Going Concern

 

The Company's financial statements are prepared using the cash method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has an accumulated deficit of negative $1,497 as of June 30, 2016. The Company will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital through placement of our common stock in order to implement its business plan. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in order to continue as a going concern. The Company is funding its initial operations by issuing common shares. We cannot be certain that capital will be provided when it is required.

 

Cash and Equivalents

 

Cash and equivalents include investments with initial maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains its cash balances at credit-worthy financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $250,000. There were no cash equivalents at June 30, 2016.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, are cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits.

 

Lease Commitments

 

Ziyen Inc. has no lease commitments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 on June 6, 2011. Under this FASB, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.

 

The Company has various financial instruments that must be measured under the new fair value standard including: cash, convertible notes payable, accrued expenses, promissory notes payable, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The Company's financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:

 

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. The fair value of the Company's cash is based on quoted prices and therefore classified as Level 1.

 

Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

Cash reported on the balance sheet are estimated by management to approximate fair market value due to their short term nature.

 

The Company has had no transfers between levels of its assets or liabilities as of June 30, 2016.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company has no income tax obligations as of June 30, 2016, due to the Company having no profits from operations in its first fiscal period.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

In December of 2004, the FASB issued a standard which applies to transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services and also applies to liabilities an entity may incur for goods or services that are based on the fair value of those equity instruments. For any unvested portion of previously issued and outstanding awards, compensation expense is required to be recorded based on the previously disclosed methodology and amounts. Prior periods presented are not required to be restated. We adopted the standard as of inception. The Company has not issued any stock options to its Board of Directors and officers as compensation for their services. If options are granted, they will be accounted for at a fair value as required by the FASB ASC 718.

 

Net Loss Per Share

 

The Company adopted the standard issued by the FASB, which requires presentation of basic earnings or loss per share and diluted earnings or loss per share. Basic income (loss) per share ("Basic EPS") is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS") are similarly calculated using the treasury stock method except that the denominator is increased to reflect the potential dilution that would occur if dilutive securities at the end of the applicable period were exercised. During the period from Inception to July 31, 2015, as the Company reported a net loss from operations, the diluted shares outstanding excludes the effective of dilutive securities due to the anti-dilutive effect. Because the Company did not have any potentially dilutive securities, there was no difference between the basic and diluted net loss per share.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The new guidance requires that share-based compensation that require a specific performance target to be achieved in order for employees to become eligible to vest in the awards and that could be achieved after an employee completes the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation costs should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if the performance target is achieved. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in this Update either (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The adoption of ASU 2014-12 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10: Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation, to improve financial reporting by reducing the cost and complexity associated with the incremental reporting requirements of development stage entities. The amendments in this update remove all incremental financial reporting requirements from U.S. GAAP for development stage entities, thereby improving financial reporting by eliminating the cost and complexity associated with providing that information. The amendments in this Update also eliminate an exception provided to development stage entities in Topic 810, Consolidation, for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity on the basis of the amount of investment equity that is at risk. The amendments to eliminate that exception simplify U.S. GAAP by reducing avoidable complexity in existing accounting literature and improve the relevance of information provided to financial statement users by requiring the application of the same consolidation guidance by all reporting entities. The elimination of the exception may change the consolidation analysis, consolidation decision, and disclosure requirements for a reporting entity that has an interest in an entity in the development stage. The amendments related to the elimination of inception-to-date information and the other remaining disclosure requirements of Topic 915 should be applied retrospectively except for the clarification to Topic 275, which shall be applied prospectively. For public companies, those amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-10 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

NOTE 3 – CAPITAL STOCK

 

The Company's authorized capital is 75,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001 per share.

 

2016

 

At its inception date, the Company granted 11,000,000 founder’s shares to Alastair Caithness, CEO. As a result, the Company recorded the $0 value of compensation to share subscriptions payable as founder shares compensation.

  

As of June 30, 2016, the Company has not granted any stock options or issued any common shares.

 

We have accounted for stock based compensation under the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards codification (ASC) 718-10-55. (Prior authoritative literature: FASB Statement 123 (R), Share-based payment.) This statement requires us to record any expense associated with the fair value of stock based compensation. Determining fair value requires input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected price volatility. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.

 

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Common Stock

 

At its inception date, the Company granted 11,000,000 shares to Alastair Caithness, CEO. As a result, the Company recorded the $0 value of compensation to share subscriptions payable as founder shares compensation.

 

NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under standards issued by the FASB. Under those standards, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax benefits or consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided for significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized through future operations.

 

No provision for federal income taxes has been recorded due to the available net operating loss carry forward of approximately $1,497 will expire in various years through 2032. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the future tax loss carry forwards.

 

The actual income tax provisions differ from the expected amounts calculated by applying the statutory income tax rate to the Company's loss before income taxes. The components of these differences are as follows at June 30, 2016:

 

   2016 
Net tax loss carry-forwards  $(1,497)
Statutory rate   34%
% Expected tax recovery   509 
Change in valuation allowance   (509)
Income tax provision  $- 
      
Components of deferred tax asset:     
Non capital tax loss carry forwards  $509 
Less: valuation allowance   (509)
Net deferred tax asset  $- 

 

The actual income tax provisions do not differ from the expected amounts, which is none.
