At November 30, 2014, total assets were $10,945, total liabilities were $109,805, and stockholders’ deficit was $98,860. Current liabilities of $24,779 exceeded current assets of $6,195, implying negative working capital of $18,584. The balance sheet reports $100,000 of note principal—$20,000 current and $80,000 long-term—and $5,026 of accrued interest payable. Gross margin is not meaningful because there was no revenue.
Changes, outlook, and risks
- Operating expenses and operating cash use increased substantially from the 2013 inception-period figures; the company continued to report no revenue.
- The company said it needed additional financing to execute its plan and warned that available cash would not sustain operations for the next 12 months without further funds. The auditor cited substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No financing agreement was in place, and there was no assurance of funding.
- Management anticipated improving the website and developing the app, with website advertising among planned revenue sources. These were plans, not reported results or assured guidance; the filing gives no dependable revenue forecast.
- Material risks include product-development and market-acceptance uncertainty, competition from better-resourced companies, dependence on financing, cybersecurity and intellectual-property exposure, and limited management resources. The filing identifies the company as a shell company and says its common stock had not begun trading despite OTC Pink eligibility.
- After year-end, on March 16, 2015, Matthew Lane resigned and Pamela Elliott became the sole officer and director. A January 2015 $5,000 related-party note is also disclosed as a subsequent event.
Important facts to verify
- Issuer mismatch: Confirm whether this Smart Server, Inc. filing is actually the intended filing for Ridenow Group, Inc.
- Loss discrepancy: The audited statements report a FY 2014 net loss of $135,595, while other filing text describes $168,860 as the loss; $168,860 is also the reported accumulated deficit at year-end. Reconcile these figures.
- Debt discrepancy: MD&A says notes total $105,000, but the year-end balance sheet and note detail show $100,000 principal; the filing separately discloses a $5,000 note issued in January 2015. Confirm balances and dates.
- Verify liquidity, related-party debt terms, subsequent financing, and the company’s ability to fund operations and meet note maturities.
- Confirm whether the app or website became operational, whether customers or revenue were obtained, and whether the company’s trading or shell-company status changed after the reporting date.
