Item 1, Business

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

We intend to register in the remaining States as needed.

  

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

 

 C:

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Competition

 

We may not have the resources to compete with our existing competitors or with any new competitors. We intend to compete with many other competitors who perform kitchen exhaust services, all of which may have significantly greater personnel, financial, and managerial resources than we do. This competition from other companies with greater resources and reputations may result in our failure to maintain or expand our business.

  

Moreover, as the demand for the servicing of commercial kitchen grease exhaust systems increases, new companies may enter the market and the influx of added competition will pose an increased risk to our Company. Increased competition may lead to price wars, which would harm us since we would be unable to compete with companies with greater resources.

 

Intellectual Property

 

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

 

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

 

Employees

 

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

Item 1A, Risk Factors

 

The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is not required to provide the information under this item.

 

Item 1B, Unresolved Staff Comments

 

The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is not required to provide the information under this item.

 

Item 2, Properties

 

Our corporate headquarters are located at: 3604 S. Banner Street, Boise, Idaho 83709. We do not own any real property. Management believes that its current facilities are adequate for its needs through the next twelve months, and that, should it be needed, suitable additional space will be available to accommodate expansion of the Company's operations on commercially reasonable terms, although there can be no assurance in this regard.

 

Item 3, Legal Proceedings

 

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

 

Item 4, Mine Safety Disclosures

 

Not applicable.

Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of the board of directors and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, and such other factors as the board of directors deem relevant.

Results of Operations

 

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

 

For the years ended October 31, 2019 and 2018:

 

Revenue

 

During the year ended October 31, 2019, total revenue from services and product sales, from all franchisees, increased by $308,271 or 35% compared to the year ended October 31, 2018. This was driven by increase related party revenue from Taylor Brothers of $330,690, partially offset by a decrease in non-related party revenue of $22,419. The increase in related party revenue was primarily due to ongoing recurring project work and continued increase in royalty revenue. This increase in revenue, slightly offset by an increase in cost of revenue of 5%, generated an increase of $295,789 or 47% in gross income compared to the comparable period last year.

 

 C: 
 7 
 

 

The Company has generated total revenues of $1,195,460 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019, of which $698,983 is from related parties, which is an increase from the $887,189 of revenues, of which $368,293 is from related parties, during the year ended October 31, 2018. Nevertheless, as of October 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $355,948. There can be no assurances that the Company can achieve or sustain profitability or that the Company's operating losses will not increase in the future.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company is authorized to issue 80,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock. As of October 31, 2019, the Company has 31,845,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. As of October 31, 2019, the Company had current assets of $178,352 and current liabilities of $80,713.

 

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

 

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

 

Operating Activities

 

During the twelve months ended October 31, 2019, we generated cash in the amount of $3,824 from operating activities, compared to the $125,116 of cash used to pay for operating expenses for the year ended October 31, 2018. The difference was due primarily to the net income achieved during the current year compared to a net loss in the prior period.

 

Investing Activities

 

We did not generate or use any funds from investing activities during the twelve-month period ended October 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

Financing Activities 

 

During the twelve months ended October 31, 2019 we used a net amount of $5,388 of cash for financing activities, including proceeds from third party loans of $21,000. The Company also made total repayments on related party loans of $9,984, repayments on third party loans of $11,192 and repayments on its line of credit of $5,212. In the comparable 2018 period, we received $100,000 in proceeds from note payable and an additional $36,000 in proceeds from the line of credit. These cash flows were partially offset by repayments on the line of credit of $3,480, repayments on the notes payable of $1,765 and repayments on the related party note payable of $505, resulting in net cash from financing activities of $130,250.

 

Plan of Operation

 

The Company’s plan of operation is to provide franchise opportunities in the services of commercial kitchen grease exhaust systems (GES). As of October 31, 2019, we had $10,079 cash on hand and accounts receivable of $136,964. Management believes, without any additional funding or revenues, the Company has to resume selling equity securities to finance its operations and continued growth. We will apply any proceeds from future revenues to help cover our expenditures. At this time, management anticipates it will be required to seek outside funding to keep its business operational for the next twelve months, and will continue its efforts to seek additional funding.

 

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

 

Going Concern

 

Our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the October 31, 2019 audited financial statements regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors. Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful completion of additional financing arrangements and our ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations.

 

 C: 
 8 
 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Expected purchase or sale of plant and significant equipment.

 

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

 

Significant changes in the number of employees.

 

As of October 31, 2019, we had three full time employees and two officers. We are dependent upon our two officers for our future business development. As our operations expand we anticipate the need to hire additional employees, consultants and professionals; however, the exact number is not quantifiable at this time.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

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

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

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

 

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

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

 

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

New Accounting Standards

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, has issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from contracts with Customers (Topic 606), or ASU 606. ASU 606 provides guidance outlining a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers in an amount that supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. This guidance requires us to recognize revenue when we transfer promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We are required to adopt ASU 606 at the beginning of our first quarter of fiscal 2019. The new guidance requires enhanced disclosures, including revenue recognition policies to identify performance obligations to customers and significant judgments in measurement and recognition. The new guidance may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of the adoption. The Company adopted this guidance on November 1, 2018. Franchise license fees received will initial be deferred and revenue recognized ratably over the expected license period. The Company utilized the cumulative effect approach of adopting ASC 606, did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial statements.  

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02). Under ASU No. 2016-2, an entity will be required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. ASU No. 2016-02 offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company adopted this guidance on November 1, 2019 with no effect to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, due to the Company not being party to any lease agreements. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permitted the Company not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs; and all of the new standard’s available transition practical expedients. The new standard also provides practical expedients for a company’s ongoing accounting. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for its leases. For those leases with a lease term of 12 months or less, the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities. The Company also made an accounting policy election to combine lease and non-lease components of operating leases for all asset classes.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force) (“ASU 201615”). The amendments in ASU 2016-15 address eight specific cash flow issues and apply to all entities that are required to present a statement of cash flows under ASC Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows. The Company adopted this guidance on November 1, 2018 with no impact to its consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18, Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issue Task Force) (“ASU 2016-18”). This new standard addresses the diversity that exists in the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in ASU 2016-18 require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of period and end of period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this guidance on November 1, 2018 with no impact to its consolidated financial statements. 

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This new standard clarifies the definition of a business and provides a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. The Company adopted this guidance on November 1, 2018 with no impact to its consolidated financial statements. 

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. ASU 2017-04 is effective and has been adopted by the Company for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2017-04 will have a material impact on its financial statements for both annual and interim reporting periods, if applicable. Management also is required to evaluate and disclose whether its plans alleviate that doubt. The Company adopted this guidance on November 1, 2018 with no impact to its consolidated financial statements. 

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which aligns the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees and nonemployees. Under ASU No. 2018-07, the existing employee guidance will apply to nonemployee share-based transactions (as long as the transaction is not effectively a form of financing), with the exception of specific guidance related to the attribution of compensation cost. The cost of nonemployee awards will continue to be recorded as if the grantor had paid cash for the goods or services. In addition, the contractual term will be able to be used in lieu of an expected term in the option-pricing model for nonemployee awards. The Company adopted this guidance on November 1, 2019 with no impact to its consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Bare Metal Standard, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bare Metal Standard, Inc. (the “Company”) as of October 31, 2019 and 2018, and the consolidated related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of October 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern Matter

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

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

 

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

 

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

BARE METAL STANDARD, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

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

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its single subsidiary which has a fiscal year end of December 31. All intercompany accounts, balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. In March 2018, the Company formed BRMT Franchising, LLC, a Texas limited liability company that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

Use of Estimates 

 

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

 

Inventories and Provision for Excess or Expired Inventory

 

Inventory consists of finished goods and consumables held for resale to franchisees and is valued on an average cost basis. Provisions for excess inventory are included in cost of goods sold and have historically been immaterial but adequate to provide for losses. Inventory is reviewed, at least, quarterly. The Company has determined that there was no need to reserve for obsolescence as of October 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018.

 

 F-8 
 

 

Revenue Recognition 

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which was adopted on November 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method, with no impact to the Company’s comparative financial statements.

 

Revenue is recognized in accordance with a five-step revenue model, as follows: identifying the contract with the customer; identifying the performance obligations in the contract; determining the transaction price; allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations; and recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

A contract with commercial substance exists once the Company executes a franchise agreement with the franchisee. The initial license fee is due at the execution of the agreement. If collectability is not probable, the sale is deferred and not recognized until collection is probable or payment is received. Net revenues comprise gross revenues less customer discounts and allowances, actual and expected returns. Shipping charges billed to members are included in net sales. Various taxes on the sale of products and enrollment packages to members are collected by the Company as an agent and remitted to the respective taxing authority. These taxes are presented on a net basis and recorded as a liability until remitted to the respective taxing authority.

 

The Company generates revenue from franchise fees and royalty income, advertising fees and sales of supplies and other products as follows:

 

Franchise fees and royalty income

 

The Company sells individual franchises as well as territory agreements in the form of franchise agreements that grant the right to develop the business in designated areas. The franchise agreements typically require the franchisee to pay initial nonrefundable franchise fees prior to opening the business and continuing fees, or royalty income, on a monthly basis based upon a percentage of franchisee gross sales. The initial term of domestic franchise agreements is typically 10 years. Prior to the end of the franchise term or as otherwise provided by the Company, The Company may offer a renewal term of a franchise agreement and, if approved, the franchisee will typically pay a renewal fee upon execution of the renewal term. If approved, a franchisee may transfer a franchise agreement to a new or existing franchisee, at which point a transfer fee is paid.

 

Generally, the franchise license granted for each individual restaurant within an arrangement represents a single performance obligation. Therefore, initial franchise fees and market entry fees for each arrangement are allocated to each individual business and recognized over the term of the respective franchise agreement from the date of the restaurant opening. Royalty income is also recognized over the term of the respective franchise agreement based on the royalties earned each period as the underlying sales occur. Renewal fees are generally recognized over the renewal term for the respective restaurant from the start of the renewal period. Transfer fees are recognized over the remaining term of the franchise agreement beginning at the time of transfer.

 

Advertising fees

 

Franchise agreements typically require the franchisee to pay continuing advertising fees on a monthly basis based on a percentage of franchisee gross sales, which represents a portion of the consideration received for the single performance obligation of the franchise license. Continuing advertising fees are recognized over the term of the respective franchise agreement based on the fees earned each period as the underlying sales occur. Advertising fees are included in Other Service Revenue in the presentation of disaggregated revenue data below.

 

Sales of supplies and other products

 

We distribute supplies and other products to franchisees and licensees. Revenue from the sale of supplies and other products is recognized when title and risk of loss transfers to the buyer, which is generally upon delivery. Payment for supplies and other products is generally due within a relatively short period of time subsequent to delivery.

 

The following table presents disaggregated revenue for the years ended October 31, 2019 and 2018:

 

   October 31, 2019   October 31, 2018 
         
Royalty revenue  $587,475   $498,282 
Training and consulting   345,185    50,604 
Equipment, supply and truck sales   184,728    255,925 
Other service revenue   78,072    82,378 
Total revenue  $1,195,460   $887,189 

 

 F-9 
 

 

Contract Costs

 

Costs incurred to obtain a customer contract are not material to the Company. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient to not capitalize contract costs to obtain contracts with a duration of one year or less, which are expensed and included within cost of goods and services.

 

Contract Liabilities

 

The Company receives payment up front for the sale of a franchise. The franchise fee is considered to be a contract liability to provide support and services over the period of the license agreement, and are recorded as deferred revenue, with the revenue being recognized ratably over the license period. As of October 31, 2019, the Company had a total of $4,500 in deferred revenue, with $500 included in accounts payable and accrued expenses and $4,000 included in deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company expects to recognize $500 in revenue related to unsatisfied performance obligations over the next 12 months.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

Cost of sales includes all of the costs to service the franchise agreements, and costs to purchase the supplies and products sold to franchisees. Additionally, shipping costs are included in Cost of Revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. No potentially dilutive securities, consisting of 200,000 outstanding common stock warrants, were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the impact would have been anti-dilutive for the years ended October 31, 2019 and 2018. Therefore, basic and dilutive net income (loss) per share were the same.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02). Under ASU No. 2016-2, an entity will be required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. ASU No. 2016-02 offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company adopted this guidance on November 1, 2019 with no effect to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, due to the Company not being party to any lease agreements. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permitted the Company not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs; and all of the new standard’s available transition practical expedients. The new standard also provides practical expedients for a company’s ongoing accounting. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for its leases. For those leases with a lease term of 12 months or less, the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities. The Company also made an accounting policy election to combine lease and non-lease components of operating leases for all asset classes.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force) (“ASU 201615”). The amendments in ASU 2016-15 address eight specific cash flow issues and apply to all entities that are required to present a statement of cash flows under ASC Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows. The Company adopted this guidance on November 1, 2018 with no impact to its consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18, Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issue Task Force) (“ASU 2016-18”). This new standard addresses the diversity that exists in the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in ASU 2016-18 require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of period and end of period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this guidance on November 1, 2018 with no impact to its consolidated financial statements. 

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This new standard clarifies the definition of a business and provides a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. The Company adopted this guidance on November 1, 2018 with no impact to its consolidated financial statements. 

 

 F-10 
 

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. ASU 2017-04 is effective and has been adopted by the Company for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and should be applied on a prospective basis. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2017-04 will have a material impact on its financial statements for both annual and interim reporting periods, if applicable. Management also is required to evaluate and disclose whether its plans alleviate that doubt. The Company adopted this guidance on November 1, 2018 with no impact to its consolidated financial statements. 

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which aligns the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees and nonemployees. Under ASU No. 2018-07, the existing employee guidance will apply to nonemployee share-based transactions (as long as the transaction is not effectively a form of financing), with the exception of specific guidance related to the attribution of compensation cost. The cost of nonemployee awards will continue to be recorded as if the grantor had paid cash for the goods or services. In addition, the contractual term will be able to be used in lieu of an expected term in the option-pricing model for nonemployee awards. The Company adopted this guidance on November 1, 2019 with no impact to its consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has an accumulated deficit, and a history of net losses. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

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

 

NOTE 4 – MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

 

Bare Metal Standard has unrelated customers and one related party customer, whose revenue, during the years ended October 31, 2019 and 2018 represented in excess of 10% of the total revenue and in excess of 10% of total accounts receivable.

 

Concentration of revenue and related party revenue

 

During the year ended October 31, 2019, Bare Metal Standard invoiced royalties and sold product and services, including freight, totaling $698,983 or 58% of total revenue to one related company, Taylor Brothers, Inc. (a company with common officers and shareholders) and had six non-related party that accounted for 36%, 14%, 13%, 12%, 10% and 10% of of non-related party revenue. One non-related party through the Taylor Brothers revenue represents approximately 62% of related party revenue for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019.

 

During the year ended October 31, 2018, Bare Metal Standard invoiced royalties and sold product and services, including freight, totaling $368,293 or 41.5% of its total revenue, to Taylor Brothers and $460,068 of non-related party revenue or (43%,16%,16%,and 13%), respectively, to four non-related parties.  

 

Concentration of accounts receivable and related party accounts receivable-

 

Receivables arising from sales of the Company's products are not collateralized. As of October 31, 2019, total accounts receivable was $136,964 of which $86,319 or 63% was owed by a related party.  As of October 31, 2018, total accounts receivable was $85,243 of which $51,538 or 60% was owed by Taylor Brothers., and $13,716 or 16% was from one non-related party.

NOTE 5 – NOTES PAYABLE 

 

On November 14, 2017, the Company opened an unsecured line of credit with a bank in the amount of $40,000 bearing interest at the bank prime rate plus 8.5%. The Company is required to make monthly minimum payments based on the current balance outstanding on the line of credit. On October 31, 2019 and 2018, there was $27,308 and $32,520 outstanding, respectively.

 

On June 13, 2018, the Company borrowed $100,000 from a non-related investor. The note is repayable, in equal monthly instalments, over 120 months with payments of $1,438 at an interest cost of 12%. The note is not convertible, but, is collateralized by 200,000 units of the Company’s common stock, which have been issued. Each common stock unit includes one common share and the right, to purchase, for up to two years, at a cost of $2, one common share. $50,000 of debt discount was recognized in connection with the note related to the warrants and is being amortized in equal annual instalments over the life of the note. The $50,000 fair value of the warrants was determined based on the relative fair value of the warrants and debt, assuming a maximum value based on the most recent sale price of common stock for cash of $0.50 per share, due to the lack of active trading market for the Company’s common stock. On October 31, 2019 and 2018, the principal balance was $92,498 and $98,235, respectively. As of October 31, 2019, $6,465 of principal was due within one year. Unamortized discount was $43,063 and $48,077 as of October 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

In June 2019, the Company financed certain prepaid insurance expenses. The total amount financed was $10,812, the note bears interest at 16.24%, and the Company made principal repayments of $5,455 during the year ended October 31, 2019. The balance of this note payable was $5,357 as of October 31, 2019 and is due within one year.

The Company has revenue transactions with related parties, and accounts receivable balances from those related parties, and notes payable with related parties. See Notes 4 and 5. Additionally, the Company has no written employee agreement with its officers or directors. From time to time, the Company may award bonuses to those officers or directors for performance.

 

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

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 

 

Management agreement 

 

On March 1, 2017, the Company entered into a management agreement with Taylor Brothers Holdings, Inc. (“Taylor Brothers”) to provide all of the services and to conduct all of the activities that were agreed to be undertaken by Taylor Brothers under the Franchise Agreements for providing certain administrative support, including Franchisee training, development of operations manuals and other materials for use by Taylor Brothers’ franchisees; and develop and establish support infrastructures that the Company determines are necessary and appropriate to satisfy Taylor Brothers obligations under the Franchise Agreements. In consideration of the services provided Bare Metal shall be responsible to invoice and collect, per the terms of the Franchise Agreements, under management. All fees so collected will constitute the fees owing under the management agreement. The Agreement does not have a termination date but may be cancelled by either party with appropriate notice.

 

NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company’s net operating loss carryover of approximately $324,950 as of October 31, 2019, will expire in 2039. Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forward for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. If a change in ownership occurs, net operating loss carry forward may be limited as to its use in future years. The Company’s tax returns for the years ended October 31, 2016 through October 31, 2019 are open for IRS audit.

 

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Act was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Changes include, but are not limited to, a corporate tax rate decrease from 35% to 21%, effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. As a result of the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% under the Tax Act, we revalued our ending net deferred tax assets at October 31, 2018, which were fully offset by a valuation allowance.

 

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

 

The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 21% as of October 31, 2019 and 2018 of significant items comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows:

 

   October 31,   October 31, 
   2019   2018 
Net operating loss carry forward  $68,239   $85,792 
Less: valuation allowance   (68,239)   (85,792)
Net deferred tax asset  $-   $- 

 

NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In January 2020, 650,000 shares of common stock of the Company were returned to the Company and cancelled for no consideration from one shareholder.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

Item 9A Controls and Procedures

 

Management's Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, requires us to carry out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of October 31, 2019. This evaluation was implemented under the supervision and with the participation of our officers and directors.

 

Based on this evaluation, management concluded that, as of October 31, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

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

 

We were unable to maintain any segregation of duties within our financial operations due to our reliance on limited personnel in the finance function;

 

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

 

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

 

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

· Hiring additional qualified financial personnel;

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

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

 

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

 

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

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

 

Our officers have assessed the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of October 31, 2019. In making this assessment, management used the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO 2013). Based upon its assessment, management concluded that, as of October 31, 2019, our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective.

 

 C: 
  C: 12 
 

 

Management has identified a lack of sufficient personnel in the accounting function due to our limited resources with appropriate skills, training and experience to perform the review processes to ensure the complete and proper application of generally accepted accounting principles. ·We do not have an independent Board of Directors, nor do we have a board member designated as an independent financial expert. The Board of Directors is comprised of two members who also serve as executive officers. As a result, there is a lack of independent oversight of the management team, lack of independent review of our operating and financial results, and lack of independent review of disclosures made by us; and documentation of all proper accounting procedures is not yet complete.

We are in the process of developing and implementing remediation plans to address our material weaknesses in our internal controls.

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

  

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the fourth quarter ended October 31, 2019, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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

 

 C: 
 15 
 

 

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

 

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

 

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