Filing identity and reporting period
Important identity discrepancy: The supplied filing is for First American Group Inc., not Loop Industries, Inc. It is a Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, covering the six months from October 1, 2013 through March 31, 2014. The company identifies itself as a development-stage company and checks the box indicating it is a shell company.
Business context and financial results
First American Group planned to develop and market VoIP phone services supported by advertising and paid calls, with possible software licensing or sales. It reported no revenue for the three- or six-month periods, or since inception.
- Quarter ended March 31, 2014: net loss was $1,908, versus $1,310 in the comparable 2013 quarter. Expenses were $1,308 general and administrative and $600 professional fees.
- Six months ended March 31, 2014: net loss was $6,506, versus $4,508 in the comparable 2013 period. Expenses were $2,261 general and administrative and $4,245 professional fees.
- Loss per share was reported as $0.00, rounded; weighted-average shares were 126,063,200. Profit margins are not meaningful because there was no revenue.
- At March 31, 2014: cash was $2,402, prepaid expenses $338, current assets $2,740, current liabilities $14,853, and stockholders’ deficit $12,113. Liabilities included $4,593 accounts payable and $10,260 payable to a director.
- Six-month cash flow: operating activities used $9,555, financing provided $9,935 from related-party loans, and cash increased $380 to $2,402. No interest or income taxes were paid.
Changes, outlook, and risks
Compared with the prior six-month period, the net loss increased by $1,998; cash used in operations declined by $1,281. The director’s advances were unsecured, non-interest-bearing, and due on demand. The company reported no financing arranged and said available cash would fund operations for no more than two months; it warned that failure to obtain financing could cause the business to fail and disclosed substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management said product development was delayed and that it lacked funds to hire programmers. It projected no revenue in the first year beginning April 1, 2014, and estimated revenue might begin 10–16 months after the filing. Illustrative projections showed $153,750 in year two and $460,000 in year three, based on assumptions about product completion, customer demand, advertising, and usage; the filing cautions actual results could differ materially. The company completed a 50-for-1 forward stock split in February 2014 and increased authorized common shares from 50 million to 250 million. Disclosure controls were deemed ineffective due to lack of segregation of duties. No pending material legal proceedings or subsequent events were reported.
Key facts for investors to verify
- Confirm the filing’s issuer: the document identifies First American Group Inc., despite the request naming Loop Industries.
- Review the going-concern disclosure, limited cash runway, and lack of committed financing.
- Verify the terms and repayment status of the $10,260 director advance and other payables.
- Assess development delays, the assumptions behind revenue projections, and the absence of operating revenue.
- Review the 50-for-1 stock split, share authorization, and ineffective disclosure controls.
