Filing identity and business context
The supplied filing is a Form 10-Q for First American Group Inc., not Loop Industries, Inc. It covers the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2014, and was signed August 14, 2014. The company identifies itself as a development-stage business developing VoIP calling services supported by advertising and paid calls; it also checked the box identifying itself as a shell company.
Financial results and condition
- Revenue: None in the three- or nine-month periods ended June 30, 2014 or the comparable 2013 periods.
- Net loss: $7,045 for the quarter, versus $5,571 in 2013; $13,551 for the nine months, versus $10,079 in 2013. The filing reports loss per share of $0.00, rounded.
- Expenses: Nine-month professional fees increased to $10,445 from $4,600, while general and administrative expenses fell to $3,106 from $5,479. No operating margin is meaningful because there was no revenue.
- Balance sheet at June 30: Cash was $3,559; total current assets were $3,784; current liabilities were $22,942, including $15,243 payable to a director; and stockholders’ deficit was $19,158. The director’s advances are unsecured, bear no interest, and are due on demand. No conventional debt balance is separately reported.
- Cash flow: The cash flow statement reports related-party loan proceeds of $14,918 and presents operating cash use of $13,721, a net cash increase of $28,639, and ending cash of $30,661. These figures do not reconcile with one another or with the balance sheet, which reports ending cash of $3,559; the statement also displays the nine-month 2014 net loss without parentheses. Treat cash-flow values as unclear pending verification.
- Liquidity: Management said cash on hand was insufficient to begin the plan or fund more than two months of operating expenses. No financing was arranged, and the filing states that failure to obtain funding could prevent continuation of the business.
Changes, outlook, and risks
Compared with 2013, quarterly loss increased by $1,474 and nine-month loss increased by $3,472, principally alongside higher professional fees. The company reported that its product development schedule was significantly behind plan, cash was largely depleted, and it lacked funds to hire programmers. It said website completion timelines had slipped and were no longer expected to be met.
Management projected no sales revenue during the next nine months and estimated revenue might begin 10–16 months after the filing date, conditional on financing, product development, and customer and advertiser demand. Its illustrative projections estimated revenue of $153,750 in Year 2 and $460,000 in Year 3; these are management estimates, not reported results. The filing states that recurring losses and limited resources raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Other notable disclosures: disclosure controls were deemed ineffective due to lack of segregation of duties; management reported no material changes to internal control over financial reporting during the quarter. The company reported no pending material legal proceedings and no subsequent events through the filing date. It early adopted ASU 2014-10, eliminating certain development-stage reporting requirements.
