Item 1 Business.
Overview
We were incorporated in the state of Nevada on December 9, 2010. We were formed with the goal of developing solar energy collection farms on commercial and/or industrial buildings located on distressed, blighted and/or underutilized commercial land in North Carolina and other southern states of the United States. Renewable energy collected by these farms of solar collection panel systems will be sold directly to local utility companies for resale to their customers.
On June 6, 2014, Tadashi Ishikawa, our sole officer and one of the members of the Board of Directors of our company (the “Board”), acquired a total of 7,500,000 shares of our common stock from Jeffery L. Alt and Matthew Croslis, our former officers, in a private transaction for an aggregate total of $50,000 (the “Ishikawa Acquisition”). Mr. Ishikawa’s 7,500,000 shares amount to approximately 83.8% of our then currently issued and outstanding common stock. On the same day, Messrs. Alt and Croslis resigned as officers and Mr. Croslis resigned as a member of the Board. Mr. Alt is still a member of the Board.
In connection with the Ishikawa Acquisition, we may pursue new business opportunities.
Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Stoneville Solar, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company established on December 14, 2010, we lease space on the roofs or warehouses, where we install photovoltaic systems. We then sell the energy that we produce to our only customer, Duke Energy Carolina, LLC, an energy utility company in North Carolina which re-sells the energy to their customers. All of our sales to date have been to Duke Energy Carolina, LLC, which is currently purchasing solar power collected on rooftops at $0.05 - 0.07 per kWh. We take advantage of federal, state, and local incentives for clean energy, including tax credits.
In particular, we are targeting rooftops of warehouses, storage facilities or other structures on brown-field or otherwise underutilized commercial land, for the creation of solar collection farms that generate renewable energy that can be sold directly to area utilities in North Carolina and other southern states.
Utilities in the Southern United States have quotas for renewable energy that they have to provide to customers, and at this point very few if any utilities in the Southeast are meeting their quotas. Accordingly, as of this time, utilities in the Southeast have been willing to purchase as much energy as alternative and clean energy producers can generate. We believe that if these quotas remain in place, there will continue to be a market for the energy that we produce.
On June 6, 2014, the Board approved a change in our fiscal year end from April 30 to March 31.
On July 18, 2014, our board of directors and a majority of our stockholders approved a change of name of our company from NC Solar, Inc. to Aqua Power Systems Inc., an increase of our authorized capital from 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 and 10,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, par value $0.0001 to 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 and 10,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, par value $0.0001 and a forward split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock on a basis of 1 old share for 18 new shares.
A Certificate of Amendment to effect the change of name and increase to our authorized capital was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on August 5, 2014, with an effective date of August 12, 2014. These amendments were reviewed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and approved for filing with an effective date of August 12, 2014. Our trading symbol is “APSI”. Our CUSIP number is 03790A 105.
On June 19, 2015, our company and Aqua Power System Japan Kabushiki Kaisha, (“AP Japan”), a corporation in formed under the laws of Japan, and Tadashi Ishikawa, the sole shareholder of AP Japan (the “AP Japan Shareholder”), entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Share Exchange Agreement, we acquired an aggregate of nine thousand eight hundred ninety (9,890) shares of AP Japan representing all (100%) shares of AP Japan from the AP Japan Shareholder (the “AP Japan Shares”) and in exchange issued an aggregate of three million eight hundred six thousand five hundred fifty-nine (3,806,559) restricted shares of its common stock to the AP Japan Shareholder (the “APSI Shares”).
Additionally, AP Japan received an initial aggregate payment of one hundred fifty thousand ($150,000) dollars and we issued promissory notes to AP Japan as follows:
1. $100,000 due on July 31, 2015;
2. $100,000 due on August 31, 2015;
3. $100,000 due on September 30, 2015; and
4. $100,000 due on October 31, 2015.
(collectively, the “Promissory Notes”)
Lastly, as a term of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Licensing and Option Agreement dated May 29, 2015 was terminated on execution of the Share Exchange Agreement and the AP Japan Shareholder has agreed to cancel 105,863,935 on delivery of the financial statements of AP Japan pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement.
Copies of the Promissory Notes are filed as an exhibit hereto as Exhibit A to the Share Exchange Agreement.
Operation
We purchase our photovoltaic systems through local solar energy companies, who also perform the installation of these systems on the warehouses that we lease. We plan on continuing this arrangement as we expand our business.
We currently have one solar power installation, in Stoneville, North Carolina, which currently has a 9.9 kW solar photovoltaic generator installed. We collect the power that we generate at this installation and then sell it to Duke Energy Carolina, LLC, an energy utility company in North Carolina.
In addition, we currently receive a subsidy through NC GreenPower Corporation (“NC GreenPower”), a governmental organization that promotes clean energy. NC GreenPower has agreed to provide a premium of $0.15 per kWh generated, up to 14,309 kWh per year, for a total potential subsidy of $715.45 per year after administrative fees.
Marketing
Currently, we are not actively marketing our product because energy sales are a regulated business and we only have one customer. We are looking for more sites (roofs and warehouses) to add solar units so that we can generate more power.
Customers
We currently have only one customer: Duke Energy Carolina, LLC, which is an energy utility company in North Carolina. We may seek other customers if our arrangement with Duke Energy is terminated or materially changes, or if other customers are offering a higher price for solar energy.
On February 3, 2011, we were selected to participate as a solar energy supplier to the NC GreenPower program for a term of five years. As a result, NC GreenPower agreed to pay a premium of $0.15 per kWh for energy generated and supplied to the electric grid. NC GreenPower agreed to pay this premium for up to 14,309 kWh per year. On February 21, 2011, we entered into a service agreement with Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC. Effective, April 14, 2011, we agreed to produce and sell to Duke Energy electric power. The term of this agreement is five years, and continuing thereafter until terminated by either party upon giving sixty days written notice of termination. We will deliver to Duke Energy throughout the term of the agreement approximately 9 kilowatts of energy during On-Peak periods.
Competition
There is little local competition in North Carolina in our market segment. Energy companies are required to use a percent of alternative energy sources and they are nowhere near reaching their required level. Accordingly, there will be a market for our product even if additional alternative energy companies provide services in our area.
Intellectual Property
We do not have any intellectual property, such as patents, know-how or trademarks. We do not have any licenses, franchises, concessions or royalty agreements.
Regulations
Besides the regulations listed below, we are unaware of and do not anticipate having to expend significant resources to comply with any governmental regulations. We are subject to the laws and regulations of those jurisdictions in which we plan to sell our energy, which are generally applicable to business operations, such as business licensing requirements, income taxes and payroll taxes. In general, the development and operation of our business is not subject to special regulatory and/or supervisory requirements.
There are many requirements before a renewable energy provider can sell their power to a utility company in North Carolina. First, a facility must obtain a certificate of public convenience and necessity (“CPCN”) or file a report with the Commission if a CPCN is not required. Second, all owners of renewable energy facilities that wish to sell Renewable Energy Certificates to an electric service provider to comply with North Carolina’s Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard must register the facility with the Commission and annually re-certify the registration. Third, after obtaining Commission registration as renewable energy facility, the facility’s owner must register with the North Carolina Renewable Energy Tracking System (“NC-RETS”).
We currently comply with North Carolina regulations for producing and selling energy to local utilities and are generating revenue by selling energy to Duke Energy Carolina, LLC.
Environmental Laws
We have not incurred and do not anticipate incurring any expenses associated with environmental laws.
Employees
We have only one part-time employee - Tadashi Ishikawa. Mr. Ishikawa is employed elsewhere and has the flexibility to work for our company up to 10 hours per week. He is prepared to devote more time to our operations as may be required and as our finances permit. We do not plan to hire additional employees at this time. However, we may retain consulting staff on a contract basis. On August 1, 2011, we entered into a consulting agreement to receive administrative and other miscellaneous services. The consulting agreement was terminated effective June 19, 2014.
Facilities
Our principal executive office is located at 2-7-17 Omorihoncho, Tokyo, Ota-ku, Japan, 143-0011, and our telephone number is (81) 3-5764-3380. We lease this property for $3,000 a month on a monthly basis.
Our wholly owned subsidiary, Stoneville Solar LLC, leases 2,000 square feet of roof space at a warehouse located at 204 South Henry Street, Stoneville, NC, where it has installed solar panels. The original lease commenced on April 1, 2011 and terminated on April 1, 2012, and it is now a month-to-month lease at a rate of $2 per month.
Litigation
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which 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 a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

Overview
We were incorporated in the state of Nevada on December 9, 2010. We were formed with the goal of developing solar energy collection farms on commercial and/or industrial buildings located on distressed, blighted and/or underutilized commercial land in North Carolina and other southern states of the United States. Renewable energy collected by these farms of solar collection panel systems will be sold directly to local utility companies for resale to their customers.
On June 6, 2014, Tadashi Ishikawa, our company’s sole officer and one of the members of the Board, acquired a total of 7,500,000 shares in connection with the Ishikawa Acquisition. The funds used for this share purchase were Mr. Ishikawa’s personal funds. Mr. Ishikawa’s 7,500,000 shares amount to approximately 83.8% of our company’s currently issued and outstanding common stock. On the same day, Messrs. Alt and Croslis resigned as officers and Mr. Croslis resigned as a member of the Board. Mr. Alt is still a member of the Board.
Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Stoneville Solar, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company established on December 14, 2010, we lease space on the roofs of warehouses, where we install photovoltaic systems. We then sell the energy that we produce to local utilities, which resell the energy to their customers. North Carolina utility companies are currently purchasing solar power collected on rooftops at $0.05 - 0.07 per kWh. We take advantage of federal, state, and local incentives for clean energy, including tax credits.
In particular, we are targeting rooftops of warehouses, storage facilities or other structures on brown-field or otherwise underutilized commercial land, for the creation of solar collection farms that generate renewable energy that can be sold directly to area utilities in North Carolina and other southern states. Utilities in the Southeast have been willing to purchase as much energy as alternative and clean energy producers can generate. We believe that the energy demands will continue to increase in the near future.
On June 6, 2014, the Board approved a change in our fiscal year end from April 30 to March 31.
On July 18, 2014, our board of directors and a majority of our stockholders approved a change of name of our company from NC Solar, Inc. to Aqua Power Systems Inc., an increase of our authorized capital from 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 and 10,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, par value $0.0001 to 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 and 10,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, par value $0.001 and a forward split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock on a basis of 1 old share for 18 new shares.
A Certificate of Amendment to effect the change of name and increase to our authorized capital was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on August 5, 2014, with an effective date of August 12, 2014.
The name change and forward split has been reviewed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and has been approved for filing with an effective date of August 12, 2014.
The name change was effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening of trading on August 12, 2014 under the symbol under the symbol “NCSO”. The “D” will be placed on our ticker symbol for 20 business days at which time our symbol will change to “APSI”. Our new CUSIP number is 03790A 105.
Plan of Operation
We plan to take advantage of tax credits and renewable energy investment incentives that can help defray the upfront installation costs for each installation. Through our subsidiary, Stoneville Solar, LLC, we are operating our initial facility atop a warehouse building in Stoneville, NC. North Carolina utility companies are currently purchasing solar power collected on rooftops at $0.05-0.07 per kWh. Our first project is fully operational and our company is looking for additional projects and other ways to increase its revenues.
We plan to replicate this model for developing solar collection systems across a variety of distressed, blighted and/or under-utilized commercial and industrial properties in North Carolina and other southern states, where sunlight is at a maximum and cost of installation can be significantly discounted by tax incentives and renewable energy development funding.
We intend to use the proceeds from our latest private placement (i) to pay operating and business development expenses, (ii) to pay other expenses related to marketing of solar energy projects, and (iii) for general working capital. Amounts actually expended and the timing of expenditures may vary considerably based on several factors including our results of operations.

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, our company has negative working capital and stockholder’s deficit of $95,367 as of March 31, 2015, used cash in operations of $155,304 and has a net loss of $103,859 for the year ended March 31, 2015. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of our company to continue as a going concern is dependent on our company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if our company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for our company to continue as a going concern.
Results of Operations
Results of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the eleven months ended March 31, 2014
Revenues. Revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 were $2,103 as compared with $2,154 for the eleven months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 is primarily attributable to the decrease in the amount of energy our photovoltaic systems were able to produce.
Expenses
Our operating expenses for the years ended March 31, 2015 and the eleven months ended March 31, 2014 are outlined in the table below:
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 were $125,047, as compared with $126,730 for the eleven months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 was primarily attributable to the decrease in general and administrative expenses as compared to the eleven months ended March 31, 2014.
Net Loss. Our net loss for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 was $103,859, as compared with $99,839 for the eleven months ended March 31, 2014. The increase for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 is primarily attributable to decreased other income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working Capital
Our current assets as of March 31, 2015 were $270,884 as compared to current assets of $521 as of March 31, 2014. The increase was primarily due to an increase in a loan receivable from a related party. As of March 31, 2015, we had a working capital deficit of $95,367 compared to a working capital deficit of $106,664 as of March 31, 2014.
Cash Flows
Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $1,502 at March 31, 2015.
Net Cash Used In Operating Activities. Net cash of $155,304 was used in operating activities in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, as opposed to $11,112 in the eleven months ended March 31, 2014.
Net Cash Used In Investing Activities. Net cash of $266,000 was used in investing activities in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, as opposed to $nil in the eleven months ended March 31, 2014.
Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Financing Activities. Net cash of $422,646 was provided by financing activities in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, as opposed to net cash of $8,000 provided by financing activities in the eleven months ended March 31, 2014.
Our professional expenses in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 increased as compared to our professional expenses in the eleven months ended March 31, 2014. The professional expenses in the eleven months ended March 31, 2014 were due only to the one-time expense of going public. We anticipate that we will have to generate enough revenue or enter into additional debt or equity financings to have enough cash to sustain operations for at least a year. However, we cannot make any assurance that we will be successful in generating enough revenue or obtain additional financings to sustain operations. Moreover, our independent auditors have issued a going concern opinion that raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Management may decide, based on market conditions, to seek debt, convertible debt or equity financings if management believes such private placements are in the best interests of our company.
The revenue that we have earned from our initial facility in North Carolina has been small as we only earned $2,103 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 and $9,113 from December 9, 2010 (Inception) to March 31, 2015. However, we believe that we will be able to significantly increase our revenue after we install additional solar panels in this location.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates include valuation of in kind contribution of services, valuation of deferred tax assets, and provision for allowance for doubtful accounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Our company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, our company had no cash equivalents.
Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by FASB ASC No. 260, “Earnings Per Share.” As of March 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no common share equivalents outstanding.
Revenue Recognition
Our company will recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Our company generates revenue from the sale of energy collected by the photovoltaic system as the revenue is earned. Our company recognizes Grant Income at the time it is earned and all grant provisions have been satisfied and the grants are non-refundable.
Equipment
Our company values equipment at cost and depreciates these assets using the straight-line method over their expected useful life. Our company depreciates equipment over a five-year useful life.
In accordance with ASC No. 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, our company carries long-lived assets at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value. Impairment is evaluated by estimating future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is recognized. Fair value, for purposes of calculating impairment, is measured based on estimated future cash flows, discounted at a market rate of interest.
During the six months ended September 30, 2013, our company determined that the equipment was fully impaired and recognized an impairment expense of $36,708.
There were no impairment losses recorded during the periods ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014.
Concentration of Credit Risk
At March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, accounts receivable of $257 and $361, respectively, consisted of two main types of receivables; receivables from local utility company for energy resale and energy rebate from the State of North Carolina.
Following represents revenue concentrations for the years ended March 31, 2015:
Following represents accounts receivable concentrations for the years March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014:
Foreign Currency Policy
Our company’s accounting policies related to the consolidation and accounting for foreign operations are as follows: All foreign currency transactions will be translated into United States dollars “$” and/or “USD” as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities will be translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses will be translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Equity transactions will be translated at each historical transaction date spot rate. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period will be included as a component of our stockholders’ equity (deficit) as “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).” Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions will be included in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss as other income (expense).
For the year ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, our functional and operational currency was the US Dollar.
Beneficial Conversion Feature
For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, our company records a “beneficial conversion feature” (“BCF”) and related debt discount.
When our company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument. The discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.
Derivatives
Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in equity instruments and warrants granted, and measurement of their fair value. In determining the appropriate fair value, our company uses Black-Scholes or lattice option-valuation models. In assessing the convertible equity instruments, management determines if the convertible equity instrument is conventional convertible equity and further if the beneficial conversion feature requires separate measurement.
Once derivative instruments are determined, they are adjusted to reflect fair value at the end of each reporting period. Any increase or decrease in the fair value is recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using a Black-Scholes or lattice option-pricing model. Once a derivative liability ceases to exist any remaining fair value is reclassified to additional paid-in capital if redeemed or through earnings if forfeited or expired.
Emerging Growth Company Critical Accounting Policy Disclosure
The JOBS Act contains provisions that relax certain requirements for “emerging growth companies” for which we qualify. For as long as we are an emerging growth company, which may be for up to five years after the first sale of our common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act., unlike other public companies, we will not be required to: (i) comply with any new or revised financial accounting standards applicable to public companies until such standards are also applicable to private companies under Section 102 (b)(1) of the JOBS Act; (ii) provide an auditor’s attestation report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (iii) comply with any new requirements adopted by the PCAOB requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about the audit and the financial statements of the issuer; or (iv) comply with any new audit rules adopted by the PCAOB after April 5, 2012 unless the SEC determines otherwise.
Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We do not intend to take advantage of such extended transition period.
Income Taxes
Our company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, 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 bases. 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 be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The net deferred tax liability in the accompanying balance sheets includes the following amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities:
As of March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, the company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $360,050 and $269,528, respectively, available to offset future taxable income through March 31, 2025. The valuation allowance was established to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. This is necessary due to our company’s continued operating loss and the uncertainty of our company’s ability to utilize all of the net operating loss carryforwards before they will expire through the year 2035.
The net change in the valuation allowance for the year ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, was an increase of $34,900 and $24,910 respectively.
Our company’s income tax expense differed from the statutory rates (federal 34% and state 4.55%) as follows:
The valuation allowance was established to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that will more likely than not to be realized. This is necessary due to our company’s continued operating losses and the uncertainty of our company’s ability to utilize all of the net operating loss carryforwards before they will expire through the year 2035.
The components of income tax expense related to continuing operations are as follows:
The company’s federal income tax returns for the year ended March 31, 2015 and for the eleven months ended March 31, 2014 and for the years ended April 30, 2013 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service through 2020.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP. For certain of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable, and the short-term portion of long-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
We adopted accounting guidance for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities (ASC 820). The adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. This guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:
·Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
·Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
·Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2015, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”, is to simplify presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The ASU does not affect the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. For public companies, the ASU is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
In April 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-04, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Practical Expedient for the Measurement Date of an Employer’s Defined Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets”, permits the entity to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations using the month-end that is closest to the entity’s fiscal year-end and apply that practical expedient consistently from year to year. The ASU is effective for public business entities for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
In April 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement”, provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If such includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If the arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for it as a service contract. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early application is permitted. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
In April 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-06, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260): Effects on Historical Earnings per Unit of Master Limited Partnership Dropdown Transactions”, specifies that, for purposes of calculating historical earnings per unit under the two-class method, the earnings (losses) of a transferred business before the date of a drop down transaction should be allocated entirely to the general partner. In that circumstance, the previously reported earnings per unit of the limited partners (which is typically the earnings per unit measure presented in the financial statements) would not change as a result of the dropdown transaction. Qualitative disclosures about how the rights to the earnings (losses) differ before and after the dropdown transaction occurs for purposes of computing earnings per unit under the two-class method also are required. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is permitted. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
In June 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation”. The update removes all incremental financial reporting requirements from GAAP for development stage entities, including the removal of Topic 915 from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. In addition, the update adds an example disclosure in Risks and Uncertainties (Topic 275) to illustrate one way that an entity that has not begun planned principal operations could provide information about the risks and uncertainties related to the company’s current activities. Furthermore, the update removes an exception provided to development stage entities in Consolidations (Topic 810) for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity-which may change the consolidation analysis, consolidation decision, and disclosure requirements for a company that has an interest in a company in the development stage. The update is effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, including interim periods therein. Early application with the first annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity’s financial statements have not yet been issued (Public business entities) or made available for issuance (other entities). Our company adopted this pronouncement for year ended March 31, 2015.
In June 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718); Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period”. The amendments in this ASU apply to all reporting entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718 as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. For all entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in this ASU either (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. If retrospective transition is adopted, the cumulative effect of applying this Update as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements should be recognized as an adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance at that date. Additionally, if retrospective transition is adopted, an entity may use hindsight in measuring and recognizing the compensation cost. This updated guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 on “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) - Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
All other newly issued accounting pronouncements but not yet effective have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of:
Aqua Power Systems, Inc. (f/k/a NC Solar, Inc.)
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Aqua Power Systems, Inc. (f/k/a NC Solar, Inc.) and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2015 and 2014 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficiency and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2015 and the eleven month period ended March 31, 2014. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Aqua Power Systems, Inc. and Subsidiary as of March 31, 2015 and 2014 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2015 and the eleven month period ended March 31, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $103,859 and used net cash in operating activities of $155,304 for the year ended March 31, 2015. In addition, the Company has a working capital and stockholders’ deficiency of $95,367 as of March 31, 2015. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 11. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

AS OF MARCH 31, 2015
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION
(A) Organization
Aqua Power Systems Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 9, 2010 to develop solar energy collection farms on commercial and/or industrial buildings located on distressed, blighted and/or underutilized commercial land in North Carolina and other southern states of the U.S. Renewable energy collected by these farms will be sold directly to local utility companies for resale to their customers.
Stoneville Solar, LLC. was incorporated under the laws of the State of North Carolina on December 14, 2010.
Effective August 5, 2014, the Company filed an Amendment of Articles of Incorporation with the State of Nevada to change the name from “NC Solar, Inc.” to “Aqua Power Systems Inc.”.
On June 6, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year end from April 30 to March 31.
(B) Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying 2015 and 2014 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aqua Power Systems Inc. (f/k/a NC Solar, Inc.) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Stoneville Solar, LLC (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.
(C) Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates include valuation of in kind contribution of services, valuation of deferred tax assets and provision for allowance for doubtful accounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(D) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, the Company had no cash equivalents.
(E) Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by FASB ASC No. 260, “Earnings Per Share.” As of March 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no common share equivalents outstanding.
(F) Business Segments
The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.
(G) Revenue Recognition
The Company will recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. The Company generates revenue from the sale of energy collected by the photovoltaic system as the revenue is earned. The Company recognizes Grant Income at the time it is earned and all grant provisions have been satisfied and the grants are non-refundable.

(H) Equipment
The Company values equipment at cost and depreciates these assets using the straight-line method over their expected useful life. The Company depreciates equipment over a five-year useful life.
In accordance with ASC No. 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company carries long-lived assets at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value. Impairment is evaluated by estimating future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is recognized. Fair value, for purposes of calculating impairment, is measured based on estimated future cash flows, discounted at a market rate of interest.
There were no impairment losses recorded during the periods ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014.
(I) Concentration of Credit Risk
At March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, accounts receivable of $257 and $361, respectively, consisted of two main types of receivables; receivables from local utility company for energy resale and energy rebate from the State of North Carolina.

(M) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”, is to simplify presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The ASU does not affect the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. For public companies, the ASU is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
In April 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-04, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Practical Expedient for the Measurement Date of an Employer’s Defined Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets”, permits the entity to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations using the month-end that is closest to the entity’s fiscal year-end and apply that practical expedient consistently from year to year. The ASU is effective for public business entities for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

In April 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement”, provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If such includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If the arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for it as a service contract. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early application is permitted. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
In April 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-06, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260): Effects on Historical Earnings per Unit of Master Limited Partnership Dropdown Transactions”, specifies that, for purposes of calculating historical earnings per unit under the two-class method, the earnings (losses) of a transferred business before the date of a drop down transaction should be allocated entirely to the general partner. In that circumstance, the previously reported earnings per unit of the limited partners (which is typically the earnings per unit measure presented in the financial statements) would not change as a result of the dropdown transaction. Qualitative disclosures about how the rights to the earnings (losses) differ before and after the dropdown transaction occurs for purposes of computing earnings per unit under the two-class method also are required. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is permitted. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
In June 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation”. The update removes all incremental financial reporting requirements from GAAP for development stage entities, including the removal of Topic 915 from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. In addition, the update adds an example disclosure in Risks and Uncertainties (Topic 275) to illustrate one way that an entity that has not begun planned principal operations could provide information about the risks and uncertainties related to the company’s current activities. Furthermore, the update removes an exception provided to development stage entities in Consolidations (Topic 810) for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity-which may change the consolidation analysis, consolidation decision, and disclosure requirements for a company that has an interest in a company in the development stage. The update is effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, including interim periods therein. Early application with the first annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity’s financial statements have not yet been issued (Public business entities) or made available for issuance (other entities). The Company adopted this pronouncement for year ended March 31, 2015.
In June 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718); Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period”. The amendments in this ASU apply to all reporting entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718 as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. For all entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in this ASU either (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. If retrospective transition is adopted, the cumulative effect of applying this Update as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements should be recognized as an adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance at that date. Additionally, if retrospective transition is adopted, an entity may use hindsight in measuring and recognizing the compensation cost. This updated guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF MARCH 31, 2015
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2014-15 on “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) - Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
All other newly issued accounting pronouncements but not yet effective have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.
(N) Emerging Growth Company Critical Accounting Policy Disclosure
The JOBS Act contains provisions that relax certain requirements for "emerging growth companies" for which we qualify. For as long as we are an emerging growth company, which may be for up to five years after the first sale of our common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act., unlike other public companies, we will not be required to: (i) comply with any new or revised financial accounting standards applicable to public companies until such standards are also applicable to private companies under Section 102 (b)(1) of the JOBS Act; (ii) provide an auditor's attestation report on management's assessment of the effectiveness of our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (iii) comply with any new requirements adopted by the PCAOB requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about the audit and the financial statements of the issuer; or (iv) comply with any new audit rules adopted by the PCAOB after April 5, 2012 unless the SEC determines otherwise.
Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We do not intend to take advantage of such extended transition period.
(O) Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, 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 bases. 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 be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF MARCH 31, 2015
The net deferred tax liability in the accompanying balance sheets includes the following amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities:
As of March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, the company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $360,050 and $269,528, respectively, available to offset future taxable income through March 31, 2025. The valuation allowance was established to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. This is necessary due to the Company’s continued operating loss and the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to utilize all of the net operating loss carryforwards before they will expire through the year 2035.
The net change in the valuation allowance for the year ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, was an increase of $34,900 and $24,910 respectively.
The Company’s income tax expense differed from the statutory rates (federal 34% and state 4.55%) as follows:

The company’s federal income tax returns for the years ended March 31, 2015 and for the eleven months ended March 31, 2014 and for the years ended April 30, 2013 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service through 2020.
(P) Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP. For certain of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable, and the short-term portion of long-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
We adopted accounting guidance for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities (ASC 820). The adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. This guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.

NOTE 10 OTHER INCOME
In June 2012, the Company was awarded a grant in the amount $18,695 under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 for the photovoltaic system placed into service. The grant requires the Company to keep the system in place for 5 years and file annual usage reports. If the Company fails to maintain the system or fails to file the annual report, the grant is refundable to the Internal Revenue Service at a prorated amount over 5 years. The amount was recorded as a deferred Federal grant and will be recognized over 5 years on the anniversary date of the award. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has a deferred Federal grant of $7,478.
During the year ended March 31, 2015, the unsecured promissory note in the amount of $8,000 was forgiven by the note holder. The amount was recorded as a gain on settlement of debt (See Note 6(A)).
During the year ended March 31, 2015, the accounts payable balance was forgiven by an unrelated party in the amount of $10,567. The amount was recorded as a gain on settlement of debt.
NOTE 11 GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has negative working capital and stockholder’s deficit of $95,367 as of March 31, 2015, used cash in operations of $155,304 and has a net loss of $103,859 for the year ended March 31, 2015. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

Item 9.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9A.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) require public companies to maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” which are defined as controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 2) or combination of control deficiencies, that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
Our company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our company’s management, including our company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), of the effectiveness of our company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2015, the end of the period covered by this Report. Based upon that evaluation, our company’s management concluded that our company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses described below:
1. We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act which is applicable to us. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
2. Our company’s board of directors has no audit committee, independent director or member with financial expertise which causes ineffective oversight of our company’s external financial reporting and internal control over financial reporting.
3. We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
4. We have had, and continue to have, a significant number of audit adjustments. Audit adjustments are the result of a failure of the internal controls to prevent or detect misstatements of accounting information. The failure could be due to inadequate design of the internal controls or to a misapplication or override of controls. Management evaluated the impact of our significant number of audit adjustments and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
In light of the material weaknesses, the management of our company performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, we believe that our consolidated financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our consolidated financial condition, consolidated results of operations and cash flows as of and for the reporting periods then ended.
Remediation of Material Weaknesses
We intend to remediate the material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures identified above by adding independent directors or members with financial expertise and/or hiring a full-time CFO, with SEC reporting experience, in the future when working capital permits and by working with our independent registered public accounting firm and refining our internal procedures. To date, we have not been successful in reducing the number of audit adjustments, but will continue our efforts in the coming fiscal year as more fully detailed below.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the issuer’s principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the issuer’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
·Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer;
·Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of our company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the issuer; and
·Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
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. 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. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
As of the end of our most recent fiscal year, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, as of March 31, 2015, such internal control over financial reporting was not effective. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
The matters involving internal control over financial reporting that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives of having segregation of the initiation of transactions, the recording of transactions and the custody of assets; and (3) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of March 31, 2015.
To address the material weaknesses set forth in items (2) and (3) discussed above, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
This Report does not include an attestation report of our company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit our company to provide only the management’s report in this Report.
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:
We intend to increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us. First, we will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives of having separate individuals perform (i) the initiation of transactions, (ii) the recording of transactions and (iii) the custody of assets. Second, we will create a senior position to focus on financial reporting and standardizing and documenting our accounting procedures with the goal of increasing the effectiveness of the internal controls in preventing and detecting misstatements of accounting information. Third, we plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds are available to us.
Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board.
We anticipate that these initiatives will be at least partially, if not fully, implemented by March 31, 2016 when funding is available. Additionally, we plan to test our updated controls and remediate our deficiencies by March 31, 2016.
Changes in internal controls
There have been no 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 of our fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Director Independence
We have one independent director. Because our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we have used the definition of “independence” of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of our company’s Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:
● the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company;
● the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);
●
a family member of the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer of the company;
● the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exclusions);
● the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or
● the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit.
Mr. Ishikawa is not considered independent because he is an executive officer of our company.
We do not currently have a separately designated audit, nominating or compensation committee.
