Our business offices are currently located at 441 Eastgate Rd., Suite A, Henderson, Nevada 89011.
We currently have no revenues or significant assets. At December 31, 2019, our total current assets were $30,275 and our total current liabilities were $260,966. Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $(145,718). Our accumulated deficit at December 31, 2019 was $(348,875).
Business Overview
At Evil Empire our mission is to design and produce the highest quality aftermarket parts that appeal to middle and upper class female motorcycle enthusiasts to enhance the look of their American V-Twin or metric motorcycle allowing them to express their individuality.
Evil Empire designs is committed to providing our customers with products and services that meet, conform to and exceed their individual motorcycle needs, ensuring their design, values and investment expectations are being met.
Our target market is middle and upper income female motorcycle enthusiasts. Evil Empire is a professional company that is dedicated to customizing motorcycles with a cutting edge style. Evil Empire designs aftermarket parts and accessories for female motorcyclist who want to express themselves with an original style of their own.
Company Goals And Objectives
Our goal is to be the number one provider of motorcycle customization parts, as defined by sales revenue, specifically targeted towards women within 5 years. Our objective is to engineer, prototype and manufacture new designs on a consistent schedule to not only stay current, but become a leader in the motorcycle aftermarket industry, while maintaining healthy profit margins. We intend to launch a minimum of two new products per year.
Products - Generally
Evil Empire offers a line of custom parts and accessories for Harley Davidson or metric motorcycles. Our quality parts are made in the USA and Evil Empire is dedicated to providing the highest standard of customer service.
We will engineer, prototype and manufacture new designs on a consistent schedule to stay current in the motorcycle aftermarket industry.
Industry
Motorcycle customization is a growth industry. And most of that growth is increasingly attributed to new female riders. As women take to riding in larger numbers, they tend to accessorize their bikes in order to display their individuality. We intent to assist these women by providing unique designs and high quality products to make their bikes their own.
Core Competencies
Evil Empire’s core competency is in understanding the “biker culture,” and the customization market. Our CEO, Sheila Cunningham, an avid motorcycle rider, has been featured in several magazines for her customization work. Her designs have struck a nerve among female riders who seek her out in customizing their own motorcycles.
Because we are a growth company requiring additional capital, we’ve chosen to incorporate with a view to listing the company so that our investors may achieve liquidity should that be required.
Products and Services
Aftermarket Body Parts
Evil Empire will concentrate on the research, design and development of the finest quality of aftermarket parts, including, but not limited to custom fiberglass saddlebags, side panels, and fenders, gas tanks, and seats. Our custom bags have already been featured in several motorcycle magazines.
Billet Aluminum Parts and Accessories
Evil Empire will continue to design and manufacture billet floorboards and passenger floorboards, foot pegs, shifter pegs, shift linkages, exhaust tips, handlebar grips, mirrors, license place frames, and various types of billet accessories. Our first two products in this category - custom floorboards and handlebar grips - have already been featured in several magazines. Examples of some of our accessories are as follows:
Fat Bob Fender
Mid-Controls
Exhaust Muffler
Faring
Hardbags and Lids
Mid-Controls
Packaged Powder Coated Handgrips
Aftermarket Handlebars
Evil Empire will offer 3 different design handlebars varying is size and dimensions to accommodate the female rider. Offering them in Chrome Plating, Powdercoat and Raw form.
Apparel
We also offer t-shirts, hooded sweatshirts and hats that will display the Evil Empire name and Logo.
We are committed to providing our customers with products and services that meet, conform to and exceed their individual motorcycle needs.
Custom Design
In year two, after our launch and media blitz, we plan on offering a custom design service specifically for women. Ms. Cunningham will lead the effort as she already has a following of female riders and has customized several motorcycles.
Competitive Advantage
Our competitive advantage lies in the uniqueness of our designs and the quality of our merchandise. Our floorboards are manufactured in the United States, are designed correctly and are machined rather than stamped. These factors put us at the top end of the retail price range, but since our target market purchases top end motorcycles, it doesn’t make sense to expect them to customize an expensive motorcycle with cheap parts.
Pricing
We standardize our pricing on our website and throughout our dealer network. Discounting will not be allowed in order to keep the quality image of the product from being tarnished. Sale prices are to be expected at seasonal times and will be permitted, but the sale of the product through discount channels will not.
Marketing Plan
The Company has conducted both primary and secondary research resulting in key insights to implement our strategic plan.
Industry Analysis and Industry Trends
Based on information we have obtained from the Whiteboard Research Summary on Motorcycle Industry (the “Whiteboard Research Summary”), we believe that the demand for custom aftermarket motorcycle parts and accessories is highly dependent on the number of Harley-Davidson and metric motorcycles sold. We also believe the motorcycle industry itself is highly dependent on disposable income, confidence in the future of the economy, and leisure time. Prior to the recession of 2009, the largest market segment for the previous five years was composed of middle-aged males. As these consumers aged and as the recession hit, motorcycle manufacturers saw sales decline. In the USA, Harley-Davidson, the industry’s largest manufacturer reported a sales decline of 23.4%. In response, industry looked for new segments to exploit expanding overseas, targeting younger/new riders, and targeting women.
The Whiteboard Research Summary gave us a snapshot of the overall market. In 2014, consumers in the United States purchased some 484,000 motorcycles; this figure reflects a 3.8 percent increase in total U.S. motorcycle sales over the previous year. The consensus for years going forward calls for a 3% annual growth. Wisconsin based Harley-Davidson had a total market share of 46.5%, up from 36% in 2013.
In 2013, Harley-Davidson’s 601+cc segment reached a market share of about 55% indicating a heavier weighting on this segment of sales. This segment is also our key target market since these bikes are higher end bikes and their riders are less sensitive to economic fluctuations. The Whiteboard Research Summary concluded that higher incomes, higher consumer confidence in the economy and higher gas prices all contribute to the growth of this market.
As part of our primary research, we surveyed riders at motorcycle shows across the USA and Canada. The results for the most part were as expected. Almost all the people we surveyed liked the designs of our handlebars and floorboards. They especially liked the sturdiness of the floorboards. The saddlebags were enthusiastically endorsed as well. One key insight we achieved from this research is that in colder weather (the Canadian motorcycle show), there was concern as to how cold the handlebars would get since they’re not insulated. Although this is mitigated by the fact that the majority of our target market is geographically located in California (according to 2013 data, the majority of motorcycle fans reside in California, where almost 800,000 motorcycles are registered.), we have begun designing a handlebar to withstand the Canadian weather.
As of 2013, roughly 12% of the riders in the USA were women - an increase of about 30% over the last decade according the Motorcycle Industry Council. Whether it is because they’ve been targeted, or because they realize the benefits of riding, HarleyDavidson, the top-selling motorcycle brand among women in the U.S., sold more new on-road motorcycles to women in the U.S. in 2013.
According to a study conducted by Kelton and commissioned by Harley-Davidson recently commissioned Kelton to conduct a study surveying women riders. According to the results:
“Women riders are more than twice as likely to always feel happy (37% of riders vs. 16% of non-riders) and more than a third (34%) reported that they felt less stressed after starting to ride. Further, nearly twice as many always feel confident (35% of riders vs. 18% of non-riders).
According to the Harley-Davidson Women Riders Survey, the benefits of riding continue:
•
More riders than non-riders (40% vs. 18%) feel extremely satisfied with their careers.
•
More than twice as many riders as non-riders (32% vs. 15%) agree that they feel beautiful daily.
•
Women who ride are more content with their significant other (60 percent of riders vs. 38 percent of non-riders) and intimacy (51 percent riders; 35 percent non-riders).
•
More riders than non-riders (75% vs. 64%) usually feel content instead of worried, and almost a quarter (23%) of riders report that they rarely feel anxious.” (http://www.motorcyclecruiser.com/news/women-flock-to-motorcycling-record-numbers)
Customers
Evil Empire’s ideal customer is an upper-middle to upper income female, between the ages of thirty-four and sixty-five. Younger riders may not have the discretionary income to afford our product, and the number of women riding after the age of sixty-five diminishes quickly due to the physical exertion and risk of motorcycle riding. She enjoys riding at least part of the time. She is individualistic and has a personal sense of style. She is confident in herself and her decisions. In short, a powerful, self-fulfilled woman.
We intend to appeal to her sense of individuality by offering products that will make her motorcycle stand out from the crowd. Evil Empire products will be easily available to our customer from our website and through motorcycle dealerships. At this time, to keep the final cost to the customer at a minimum, we do not intend to sell through wholesalers or jobbers. Initially we will target dealerships in California, Nevada and Arizona where seasonality in motorcycle riding and customization are not issues. Our research also indicates California has the highest number of motorcycle riders in the country.
Competition
Competition in the industry is fragmented with no clear market leader. Many of our competitors are well established. Many offer higher end aftermarket motorcycle parts and accessories. Some also offer customization and motorcycle sales. On a stand-alone basis our product offering is comparable to all, and superior to some.
Our niche: middle to high-income women who ride at least occasionally, with a sense of self and individuality is unexploited. We intend to fill the void and quickly become the go-to solution for these women.
Our competitive advantage is that we are actively targeting a new group of riders the motorcycle manufacturers are starting to exploit before our male-centric competition. In order to capitalize on this we intend to move quickly.
Obstacles we’ll have to overcome include the established competition and the motorcycle manufacturers themselves who often times offer similar products in their dealerships (although their offerings don’t match the quality of our offerings).
Strategy
Our strategy is based on targeting middle to high-income women who ride at least occasionally, with a sense of self.
Positioning
Evil Empire will position the Company and its products as a lifestyle brand, made in America for independent women. The intent is to form a “cult” of customers, in much the same way Harley-Davidson has created a cult of customers.
Promotion
Our CEO, Sheila Cunningham will conduct interviews with several motorcycle magazines in which she and her products have been featured. Evil Empire will also advertise in these magazines.
Our designs and logos are formulated to appeal to women who enjoy the cutting edge in style, and lifestyle. The conversation around these is designed to spark a following using social media, leading to word of mouth proliferation.
Evil Empire also intends to inundate trade shows, bike rallies, and other competitions. Our CEO is an accomplished rider and an avid motorcycle racer. We intend to exploit her image as something worthy of aspiration.
Each of our products are sold with a quality warranty card. Once filled, Evil Empire will begin building a database of customers to whom we can repeatedly market (the “Evil Empire Club”). These customers will get promotions on new products and minimally once a year be invited to an Evil Empire Club ride. The ride will consist of women in the club descending on an unsuspecting SPA town where they will be pampered for a weekend. The publicity generated from this event will be invaluable.
The cost of these promotions is minimal. Trade shows and magazine articles are the bigger expenses and have been accounted for in our financial projections.
Pricing
Evil Empire has priced its products in line with our competitors. The products are priced to reflect the quality of products and also to ensure a good profit for the Company. Evil Empire will compete on brand image, quality of product, and lifestyle.
Distribution Channels
Evil Empire products will be available on our website and through dealer-retailers. We will not be using wholesalers or jobbers to keep the final retail price in line with our competitors, and to ensure the quality lifestyle image we’re trying to create and maintain remains untarnished.
Competition and Competitive Strategy
We expect that we will compete for members with traditional aftermarket motorcycle parts businesses. We believe that we will face extensive challenges in attempting to compete because we do not have the ability to verify who is purchasing parts that compete with ours, at what cost, and the terms and conditions under which our competitors are offering the same or similar parts as ours. We believe that the market for our products is constantly changing in terms of how consumers purchase aftermarket motorcycle parts and what those consumers’ particular tastes may be.
Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchise Restrictions and Contractual Obligations & Concessions
We rely on a combination of trademark laws, trade secrets, confidentiality provisions and other contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights, which are primarily our brand names, product designs and marks. We hold one U.S. Design Patent, titled, Side Hardbag for a Motorcycle, which was granted Patent No. D830,056 (the “Patent”). The Patent covers claims relating to the ornamental design for a side hardbag for a motorcycle. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Company believes the Patent should be valid until November 2036, given that the Patent filing occurred in November 2016.
Compliance with Government Regulation
We will be required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the construction and operation of any facility in any jurisdiction which we would conduct activities. We do not believe that government regulation will have a material impact on the way we conduct our business, however, any government regulation imposing greater fees for Internet use or restricting information exchange over the Internet could result in a decline in the use of the Internet and the viability of Internet-based services, which could harm our business and operating results.
Research and Development Activities and Costs
We have not incurred any research and development costs to date.
Employees and Employment Agreements
Sheila Cunningham, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and sole director, is our only employee, and he currently works full time on Company matters.
Bankruptcy or Similar Proceedings
We have never been subject to bankruptcy, receivership or any similar proceeding.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
ADMISSION TO QUOTATION ON THE OTC MARKETS OR US TRADING EXCHANGE
We intend to have our common stock be quoted on the OTC Markets. If our securities are not quoted on the OTC Markets, a security holder may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our securities. The OTC Markets differs from national and regional stock exchanges in that it: (i) is not situated in a single location but operates through communication of bids, offers and confirmations between broker-dealers, and (ii) securities admitted to quotation are offered by one or more Broker-dealers rather than the “specialist” common to stock exchanges.
To qualify for quotation on the OTC Markets, an equity security must have one registered broker-dealer, known as the market maker, willing to list bid or sale quotations and to sponsor the company listing. We do not yet have an agreement with a registered broker-dealer, as the market maker, willing to list bid or sale quotations and to sponsor the Company listing. If the Company meets the qualifications for trading securities on the OTC Markets our securities will trade on the OTC Markets until a future time, if at all, that we apply and qualify for admission to quotation on the NASDAQ Capital Market. We may not now and it may never qualify for quotation on the OTC Markets or be accepted for listing of our securities on the NASDAQ Capital Market.
HOLDERS
As of March 26, 2020, we had 7,819,500 shares of common stock issued and outstanding held by approximately 41 stockholders of record.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.
Our auditor’s report regarding our December 31, 2019, financial statements expresses an opinion that substantial doubt exists as to whether we can continue as an ongoing business.
12-MONTH PLAN OF OPERATION
We are a development stage corporation and have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business. We design, manufacture, market and sell aftermarket motorcycle body parts, billet aluminum parts and accessories, aftermarket handlebars, and apparel for the motorcycle aftermarket industry. During the 12 months following the date of the filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K, we will be focused on generating sales revenues.
We will need to raise funds to commence our 12-month plan of operation and fund our ongoing operational expenses. Additional funding will likely come from equity financing from the sale of our common stock. If we are successful in completing equity financing, existing shareholders will experience dilution of their interest in our Company. We do not have any financing arranged and we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund our 12-month plan of operation and ongoing operational expenses. In the absence of such financing, our business will likely fail. There are no assurances that we will be able to achieve further sales of our common stock or any other form of additional financing. If we are unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue our plan of operations, then we will not be able to continue our 12-month plan of operation and our business will fail.
The Company believes it can satisfy its cash requirements through the June 30, 2020, from its current cash. As of December 31, 2019, we had negative working capital of $230,601
Results of Operations
For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018
We earned revenues of $3,054 the year ended December 31, 2019, with the cost of such revenues being $206. We earned revenues of $9,981 the year ended December 31, 2018, with the cost of such revenues being $759.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, we incurred total operating expenses of $130,953, consisting of $10,422 of amortization and depreciation, and $120,531 of general and administrative expenses. This compared to total operating expenses of $58,286, consisting of $10,422 of amortization and depreciation, and $47,864 of general and administrative expenses for the same period in 2018.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, we incurred a net loss was $145,718, or $0.02 loss per share. For the year ended December 31, 2018, we incurred a net loss $63,320, or $0.01 loss per share.
Limited Business History; Need for Additional Capital
There is no historical financial information about the Company upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We have not generated any revenues from our business. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business plans. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in the exploration and/or development, and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services. We have no intention of entering into a merger or acquisition within the next twelve months and we have a specific business plan and timetable to complete our 12-month plan of operation based on the success of the primary offering.
We anticipate that additional funding, if required, will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of shares to fund additional expenditures. We do not currently have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing. Our limited operating history and our lack of significant tangible capital assets makes it unlikely that we will be able to obtain significant debt financing in the near future. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue or expand our business. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2019, we had a cash balance of $19,079, and negative working capital of $230,691. For the year ended December 31, 2019, net cash used in operating activities was $124,235.
Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $4,006 compared to zero for the same period in 2018.
Net cash from financing activities was $137,554 for the year ended December 31, 2019 This consisted of cash received from the sale of common stock $98,490 and cash received from new convertible debt of $39,064. Net cash received from financing activities in the year ended December 31, 2018 was $41,500 consisting of cash from the sale of common stock of $10,000 and cash received from convertible debt of $31,500.
Such cash amount was not sufficient to commence our 12-month plan of operation. We will need to raise funds to commence our 12-month plan of operation and fund our ongoing operational expenses. Additional funding will likely come from equity financing from the sale of our common stock. If we are successful in completing equity financing, existing shareholders will experience dilution of their interest in our Company. We do not have any financing arranged and we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund our 12-month plan of operation and ongoing operational expenses. In the absence of such financing, our business will likely fail. There are no assurances that we will be able to achieve further sales of our common stock or any other form of additional financing. If we are unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue our plan of operations, then we will not be able to continue our 12-month plan of operation and our business will fail.
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had a $260,966 of outstanding debt on its balance sheet. $181,669 of the debt is evidenced by 20 convertible promissory notes, some of which are in default. Each of the notes carries interest at 10% per annum, is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company and has a maturity date one year from the date of issuance. 11 of the 20 notes are in default.
This level of debt could have significant consequences on the Company’s future operations, including:
•
making it more difficult to meet payment and other obligations under outstanding debt;
•
resulting in an event of default if the Company fails to comply with the financial and other restrictive covenants contained in debt agreements, which event of default could result in all of the Company’s debt becoming immediately due and payable;
•
reducing the availability of the Company’s cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes, and limiting the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing for these purposes;
•
subjecting the Company to the risk of increased sensitivity to interest rate increases on indebtedness with variable interest rates;
•
limiting the Company’s flexibility in planning for or reacting to, and increasing its vulnerability to, changes in the Company’s business, the industry in which it operates and the general economy; and
•
placing the Company at a competitive disadvantage compared to its competitors that are less leveraged.
The ability to meet payment and other obligations under the debt instruments of the Company depends on their ability to generate significant cash flows in the future. There can be no assurance that the Company’s business will generate cash flows from operations, or that future borrowings will be available to the Company under any future credit facilities or otherwise, in an amount sufficient to enable it to meet its debt payment obligations and to fund other liquidity needs. If the Company is not able to generate sufficient cash flow to service its debt obligations, it may need to refinance or restructure debt, sell assets, reduce or delay capital investments, or seek to raise additional capital. If the Company is unable to implement one or more of these alternatives, it may not be able to meet debt payment and other obligations.
In addition, the Company may incur additional indebtedness in the future. If new debt or other liabilities are added to the Company’s current consolidated debt levels, the related risks that the Company now faces could be amplified.
Emerging Growth Company
The JOBS Act permits an “emerging growth company” such as us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. We are choosing to “opt out” of this provision and, as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards as required when they are adopted. This decision to opt out of the extended transition period is irrevocable.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The Company prepares financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles that require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with maturities of one year or less to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major repairs and betterments are capitalized and normal maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Upon retirement or sale of an asset, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates their carrying amount.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
During January 2,2020 through March 30, 2020 the Company issued 52,000 shares of common stock with a value of $10,400 for cash.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Evil Empire Designs, Inc.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and
Board of Directors of Evil Empire Designs, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Evil Empire Designs, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis of 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 U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted my audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its 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.
Substantial Doubt About the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company’s accumulated deficit and nominal source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of these financial statements. Management’s plans are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS
Evil Empire Designs, Inc., (formerly Jaycor Resources Inc.) (Jaycor) was organized on December 23, 2009 under the name US Terra Energy Corp in the State of Nevada.

NOTE 2- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for financial information and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower or cost of market using the first-in; first-out (FIFO) cost method of accounting. The inventory consists of raw materials used to make various products for sale.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the expected useful life of the asset (3 to 5 years), beginning when the asset is available and ready for use. Expenditures associated with upgrades and enhancements that improve, add functionality, or otherwise extend the life of property and equipment are capitalized, while expenditures that do not, such as repairs and maintenance, are expensed as incurred. As of the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, depreciation and amortization expense totaled $10,422 and $10,422, respectively.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical-cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the asset by comparing the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the asset to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted future net cash flows of the asset, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the difference between the net book value and the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is estimated based upon either discounted cash flow analysis or estimated salvage value. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018 no impairment losses have been recognized.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board) Accounting Standards Codification 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As a result, the Company has applied a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. The guidance only allows the recognition of those tax benefits that have a greater than 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the various taxing authorities.
The Company classifies penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations.
Basic and diluted net loss per share
Basic and diluted net loss per share calculations are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share calculations includes the dilutive effect of common stock. Basic and diluted net loss per share is the same due to the absence of common stock equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses and shareholder loans. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our condensed consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy established by GAAP, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into the following levels:
Level 1- Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2- Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable and can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3- Inputs reflecting management’s best estimates and assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing assets or liabilities at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation of the instruments.
A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Related Parties
A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Because the Company has been recently reorganized and has not yet transacted any business, the new accounting standards have no significant impact on the financial statements and related disclosures. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, the Company will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company, as shown in the accompanying balance sheets, has an accumulated deficit of $348,875 and $203,157 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company is establishing nominal source of revenue to cover its operating costs. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. The Company will engage in very limited activities that must be satisfied in cash until a source of funding is secured. The Company will offer noncash consideration and seek equity lines as a means of financing its operations. If the Company is unable to obtain revenue producing contracts or financing or if the revenue or financing it does obtain is insufficient to cover any operating losses it may incur, it may substantially curtail or terminate its operations or seek other business opportunities through strategic alliances, acquisitions or other arrangements that may dilute the interests of existing stockholders.
NOTE 4 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Fixed assets including molds, printing equipment and a motorcycle for use in making products it sells. The value of the assets when acquired were $32,117. During the year ended December 31, 2019 the Company acquired $4,006 in fixed assets. The assets are being depreciated over a 3 year life.
Property and equipment consisted of the following at December 31, 2019 and 2018:
Depreciation expense totaled $6,254 and $7,817 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and, 2018, respectively.
NOTE 5 - OTHER ASSETS
On November 15, 2016 the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of common stock to a related party for certain designs and assets. The assets were accounted for at the transferor’s carry over basis of $7,465 on the acquisition date, due to the transferor being in control of Evil Empire at the date of transfer. The assets are being amortized over 36 months from date of completion which was prior to the date of acquisition. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018 the net value of the assets were $2,167 and $6,335, respectively.
NOTE 6- INCOME TAXES
At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had a federal net operating loss carry forward of approximately $348,875 and $203,157, respectively.
Components of net deferred tax assets, including a valuation allowance, are as follows at December 31, 2019 and 2018.:
The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of, December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $73,263 and $40,631, respectively. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Thus, management determined it was more likely than not the deferred tax assets would not be realized as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, accordingly, recorded a full valuation allowance.
The Company has not filed tax returns and is subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service for all open years.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of members of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act. Our CEO and our CFO have concluded, based on their evaluation, that as of December 31, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the end of the fiscal year to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit with the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process, including policies and procedures, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our management assessed our internal control over financial reporting based on the 2013 version of the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the results of this assessment, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2019 based on such criteria. Deficiencies existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses. The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (i) lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; and (ii) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives. Management believes that the lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met under all potential conditions, regardless of how remote, and may not prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Terra Tech have been prevented or detected. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Auditor’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
In connection with our continued monitoring and maintenance of our controls procedures as part of the implementation of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we continue to review, test, and improve the effectiveness of our internal controls. There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter and since the year ended December 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART III
ITEM 10.
ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Our executive officer’s and director’s and their respective age’s as of December 31, 2019 are as follows:
Sheila Cunningham, age 32
Director
Sheila Cunningham, has served as our President and Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, Treasurer since March 16, 2016 and a director since March 11, 2016. Ms. Cunningham, an avid motorcycle rider, has been featured in several magazines for her customization work. Ms. Cunningham has been employed as a motorcycle designer since 2002.
In 2002, Ms. Cunningham became a co-owner of, Detroit Custom Choppers, a motorcycle company in Detroit that designed one-off motorcycles. Ms. Cunningham has earned several awards and recognitions for her motorcycle design work, including 1st Pro Street and Best in Show in 2002, at the 50th Anniversary Detroit AutoRama, as well as the Ridler Award in connection with another person. In 2003 Ms. Cunningham and another person won 1st Pro Street at the Las Vegas Bike Fest. Ms. Cunningham and her designs have been featured on magazine covers, including Hot Bike magazine in 2003; American Bagger magazine in 2010, driving her Harley-Davidson Road King Custom, and the cover of the August 2015 American Bagger magazine.
Ms. Cunningham’s entrepreneurial desire evidenced by her ideas which led to the establishment of our business, and her experience in the aftermarket motorcycle parts business, led to our conclusion that Ms. Cunningham should be serving as a member of our Board of Directors in light of our business and structure.
TERM OF OFFICE
All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. The Company’s Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors will consist of no less than three members. Officers are elected by and serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Our board of directors is currently composed of one member, who does not qualify as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our board of directors has not made a subjective determination as to each director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our board of directors made these determinations, our board of directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.
CERTAIN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
No director, nominee for director, or executive officer of the Company has appeared as a party in any legal proceeding material to an evaluation of his ability or integrity during the past ten years.
SIGNIFICANT EMPLOYEES AND CONSULTANTS
As of December 31, 2019, the Company has no significant employees.
AUDIT COMMITTEE AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our directors. The Board of Directors has not established an audit committee and does not have an audit committee financial expert, nor has the Board of Directors established a nominating committee. The Board is of the opinion that such committees are not necessary since the Company is an early exploration stage company and has only two directors, and to date, such directors have been performing the functions of such committees. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations, and audit issues that may affect management decisions.
There are no family relationships among our directors or officers. Other than as described above, we are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executive officers or directors.
STOCKHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
We have not implemented a formal policy or procedure by which our stockholders can communicate directly with our Board of Directors. Nevertheless, every effort has been made to ensure that the views of stockholders are heard by the Board of Directors or individual directors, as applicable, and that appropriate responses are provided to stockholders in a timely manner. We believe that we are responsive to stockholder communications, and therefore have not considered it necessary to adopt a formal process for stockholder communications with our Board. During the upcoming year, our Board will continue to monitor whether it would be appropriate to adopt such a process.
CODE OF ETHICS
The Company has not adopted a code of ethics that applies to its principal executive officers, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The Company has not adopted a code of ethics because it has only commenced operations.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
We have no employment agreements with our officers, directors or any other person.
INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENTS
We have no employment agreements with our officers, directors or any other person.
FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS
No family relationships exist between our officers and directors or any person who is an affiliate of the Company.
