MAJORITY SHAREHOLDER

Also on December 9, 2014, the majority shareholder approved the Increase by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

 

Furthermore, by written consent, dated December 9, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the acquisition by the Company of Truxmart (the “Acquisition”). Also on December 9, 2014, the majority shareholder approved the Acquisition by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

 

This Information Statement is being provided solely for informational purposes and is NOT being provided in connection with a vote of the Company's stockholders. Under applicable Nevada corporate law, these measures did not require a shareholder vote. Nonetheless, the Increase contemplated will be finalized on or after the Effective Date as outlined above.

 

This Information Statement is being furnished pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 14c-1 promulgated there-under.

 

The reasons for, and general effect of, the Increase is described below. The Board of Directors of the Company knows of no other matters other than that described in this Information Statement which have been recently approved or considered by the holders of the common stock.

 

GENERAL

 

This Information Statement is first being mailed or furnished to stockholders on or about May 4, 2015. The Company will pay all costs associated with the distribution of this Information Statement, including the costs of printing and mailing.

This Information Statement is being furnished by the Company and is available through the “Investor Relations” tab on the Company’s website at: www.truxmartcovers.com.

 

The Board is not aware of any attempt to take control of the Company and has not presented this proposal with the intention that the Increase be used as a type of antitakeover device. However, following the Increase, pursuant to a certain three party Definitive Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), dated December 16, 2014, Steven Rossi shall be issued an additional 37,700,000 shares of the Company, which shall represent approximately 92% of the outstanding shares of the Company at such time, thereby causing a potential anti-takeover effect. There are no anti-takeover mechanisms present in the Company’s governing documents and there are no plans or proposals to adopt other provisions or enter into other arrangement that may have anti-takeover consequences, other than as pursuant to the Exchange Agreement.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE COMPANY

 

Business

 

The Company was originally incorporated as FSGI Corporation under the laws of the State of Florida in 1997 as a holding company for the purpose of acquiring Financial Standards Group, Inc. (“FSG”). That year FSGI Corporation acquired FSG, a Florida company organized in October 1989, to assist credit unions in performing financial services. FSG offered financial services to credit unions as a wholly-owned subsidiary until its sale in January 2000. On December 21, 1998, FSGI Corporation, at the time a publicly traded company trading on the OTCBB as FSGI, acquired all of the outstanding common stock of The Martial Arts Network On-Line, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of The Martial Arts Network, Inc. The Martial Arts Network On-Line, Inc., a company organized under the laws of the State of Florida, was developed in 1996 by its parent company The Martial Arts Network, Inc. as an electronic forum dedicated to promoting education and awareness of martial arts through its web site. Upon issuance of shares, and options to purchase shares of FSGI Corporation's common stock to The Martial Arts Network, Inc., that company became the controlling stockholder of FSGI Corporation. FSGI then changed its name to TMANglobal.com, Inc. ("TMAN") as the result of a merger between FSGI Corporation and The Martial Arts Network On-Line, Inc. on December 21, 1998.

 

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 2, 2003. The Company completed a merger with TMAN Global.com Inc. on April 30, 2003. This merger was in the nature of a change in domicile of the Florida corporation to the State of Nevada, as well as the acquisition of a new business. Since the inception of our current business operations, we have been in the business of acquiring franchise, license and distribution rights in new and emerging growth companies.

 

On December 16, 2014, the Company entered into the Exchange Agreement As a result of the Exchange Agreement, TruXmart became the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

These forward-looking statements are not facts, promises, or guarantees; rather, they reflect current expectations regarding future results or events. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, activities, performance, or events to differ materially from current expectations. These include risks related to revenue growth, operating results, industry, products, and litigation. Readers should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. the Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update or to revise any such statements to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations or in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statements may be based, or that may affect the likelihood that actual results will differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes included in this report.

 

Results of Operations

 

We had no revenue for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2014 or 2013.

 

Operating expenses during the year ended September 30, 2014 totaled $17,449, consisting of professional fees and other miscellaneous costs. Operating expenses during the year ended September 30, 2013 totaled $19,098, consisting of professional fees and other miscellaneous costs.

 

We had a net loss of $17,449 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, compared to a net loss of $19,098 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At September 30, 2014, we had $309 of cash in the bank.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $(15,986) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, compared to cash used by operating activities of $(19,656) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013.

 

Cash flows used or provided by investing activities was $-0- for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, compared to $-0- for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013.

 

Cash flows provided by financing activities was $15,313 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, compared to $20,320 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. The amounts for each year represented contributions from our President and two shareholders.

 

Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our operational expenses, in their report on our audited financial statements as of and for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that led to this disclosure by our independent auditors. There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as we have losses for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 totaling ($17,449) and ($19,098) respectively, as well as an accumulated deficit since inception amounting to ($25,353).

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements with any party.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventories, valuation of intangible assets and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

The accounting policies that we follow are set forth in Note 2 to our financial statements as included in this Information Statement. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

INFORMATION REGARDING TRUXMART

 

BUSINESS

 

History

 

TruXmart was incorporated as an Ontario (Canada) corporation on December 13, 2011. On December 13, 2011, the Company issued 100 shares of common stock in exchange for CAD$100 in cash. On September 16, 2014 the Company issued 4,691 shares of Class A common stock in exchange for CAD$4,691, which was satisfied by set-off against shareholder loans previously made to the Company.

 

TruXmart was founded in 2011 to take advantage of the limited innovation provided by existing tonneau cover manufacturers. Tonneau covers have remained much the same in price and design since 2005 with one main company controlling a majority of the tonneau cover market. This dynamic market segment is in need of a new innovative manufacturer of high quality, functional, and aggressively priced tonneau covers. TruXmart has developed multiple products for all of the most prominent pick up trucks available in North America. Details of each product can be found at www.truxmartcovers.com. TruXmart sells its products through wholesalers in Canada and the U.S. and through third-party online retailers.

We have undertaken a private placement, pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D, and have raised $662,800, as of April 9, 2015 and hope to raise up to an additional $337,200 over the next nine months. Also, working capital will be generated from internal operations. We also reserve the right to examine possible additional sources of funds, including, but not limited to, equity or debt offerings, borrowings, or joint ventures. Limited market surveys have never been conducted to determine demand for our now former products and services. Therefore, there can be no assurance that any of its objectives will be achieved.

 

Nature of Products and Services

 

In 2013 sales of new pick up trucks were over 1,800,000 in the U.S. and over 350,000 in Canada. Throughout their useful lives, it is estimated that only 18% of truck owners have a tonneau cover installed on their truck. The tonneau cover segment of the automotive aftermarket generated revenues of $255 million in 2005. It is estimated the tonneau cover segment to be closer to $500 million in 2014. In 2014 / 2015, truck sales have been outpacing car sales and account for 56% of vehicle sales in North America. New pickup truck sales (our principal market) are estimated to be 2,270,000 units for the year 2014/15, based on sales through November 30, 2014, (source: Wall Street Journal online).

 

Background

 

For many years, consumers have had very limited options available to them from tonneau cover manufacturers. The leading manufacturers in the North American market have had very few new model developments. The tonneau cover market can be divided into four main styles of covers:

 

1.

Soft Folding & Roll-up covers (Vinyl covers)

2.

Hard Folding & Standing Covers (Aluminum and FRP)

3.

Solid one piece caps and lids (Plastic & Fiberglass)

4.

Retractable Covers (Plastic & Aluminum)

 

We believe the consumer favors models that are the least cumbersome, most functional, and lowest initial cost. Solid one piece covers and retractable covers are the least desirable because of their limited functionality and overall cost. Therefore, the most popular covers in today’s market are soft and hard folding/rolling tonneau covers.

 

Market Analysis and Distribution

 

Our market consists of three major types of customers which include; master warehouse distributor, dealer- wholesaler, and end retail consumer. Master warehouse distributors will stock and distribute product to their customers, which are usually local dealers and wholesalers. Dealers and wholesalers are local stores which sell product to some businesses and retail consumers in their area and online retailers. Dealers will purchase most of their product from their local distributor who will deliver to them regularly. Retail end consumers are simply the end user of your product. TruXmart currently sells its product line through distributors and dealer networks.

  

TruXmart’s target market includes master warehouse distributors and dealers.

 

In the Canadian market, TruXmart does the majority of its business with warehouse distributors, and select dealer customers. In the US market, TruXmart’s customer base is mostly dealers and wholesalers. TruXmart’s Canadian operation sells to only select dealers in Ontario as well as the largest warehouse distributor in eastern Canada. Enterprise Robert Thibert in Châteauguay, Quebec Canada has over 600,000 square feet of warehouse space in three provinces in Canada. Robert Thibert is responsible for stocking and selling our product to their customer base in Canada. TruXmart dealer sales in Ontario are to only select dealers who assist with product feedback.

 

 
10

 

TruXmart is a supplying member of one of the largest aftermarket buying groups in the U.S. American Aftermarket Group (AAG), owned by Line-X coatings, consists of over 700 car and truck accessory stores. Being a supplying member of AAG gives TruXmart access to most of the large truck accessory dealers, wholesalers, and online stores in the USA. Our products are sold to AAG members by the sales staff at AAG and all customer service and maintenance is done through phone calls, emails, and infrequent visits.

 

Competition

 

Companies that compete in this market are THI Group, Tonno Pro and Rugged Liner however not all companies charge competitive prices:

 

The Extang (THI) Trifecta retails in the USA for $425. The Tonno Pro Tri Fold retails for $269. The Rugged Liner Tri Fold retails for $329. Whereas the TruXmart Tri Fold retails for CAD$259; US$239.

 

The Extang Solid Fold retails in the USA for $799. The Rugged Liner Hard Fold retails for $689. The TruXmart Forte retails at CAD$699; US$689.

 

Low profile Roll-Up covers are manufactured by many different companies. The two most popular Roll-Up covers are the Truxedo (THI) Low-ProQT, which retails for $499 and the Tonno Pro Low-Roll which retails for $269. The TruXmart Roll-Up retails for $CAD299; US$269.

 

THI Group is the holding company for Extang Corporation, TruXedo, Inc., BedRug, Inc, UnderCover Inc., Advantage Truck Accessories Inc, Retrax Inc, and BAK Industries. They account for the majority of the competing brands in North America.

 

The area of biggest growth in the tonneau cover market is in the area of aggressively priced hard folding tonneau covers. Currently, the market distribution is shared by three primary participants, with LKQ/Keystone considered the market leader.

 

Sales, Marketing and Distribution Strategy

 

TruXmart’s sales strategy is constantly changing and dynamic. Sales are made through warehouse distributors, as they typically handle product sales and promotion through their in-house sales department. To fully saturate the market a business must entice the retail consumer to purchase its product by way of a strong internet presence which will consist of YouTube videos and commercials, an interactive website, search engine optimization, social media, etc. The next step is to have strong working relationships and reputations among dealers and wholesalers who purchase TruXmart’s product, either directly or through distributors.

 

The Company’s current product lines are as follows:

 

1. TruXmart Tri Fold (introduced in 2011)

 

The TruXmart Tri Fold is our staple soft folding tonneau cover. The Tri Fold is made with features such as stainless steel hardware, double coated vinyl tarp, and all aluminum and plastic coated front clamps. The Tri Fold is made available to our customer base at an average cost savings of 5% over competing products.

 

 
11

 

2. TruXmart Smart Fold (introduced in 2012)

 

The TruXmart Smart Fold is our second product to market and offers our patented rear Smart Latch system. The Smart Fold is the first innovation in the rear latching system offered on soft folding tonneau covers. The Smart Fold cover comes with all of the same features as the Tri Fold but with a new rear latch system that allows the cover to be opened by simply pulling a release cable which is a new innovation in the soft tri fold segment of our market.

 

The Company introduced three new products at the Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas in November 2014. These products were the following:

 

3. TruXmart Forte

 

The TruXmart Forte is the world’s first completely solid folding tonneau cover to be constructed using powder coated galvanized steel. The TruXmart Forte is also the first tonneau cover to come with a removable tool bag that acts as a cargo divider when installed. This tool bag can be removed from the tonneau cover, zippered together, and carried using a shoulder or hand strap.

 

4. TruXmart Quad-Fold

 

The TruXmart Quad-Fold will be the first vinyl wrapped tonneau cover to fold in four sections. This cover will also allow its users full bed access by being foldable upwards towards the rear window of the truck. We chose to make the world’s first quad folding cover so this cover is more compact when standing parallel to the back window of a truck, thus eliminating wind resistance and rear window obstruction.

 

5. TruXmart Roll-Up

 

The TruXmart Roll-Up cover takes from a long history of roll up covers in our market place. Although roll-up style covers have been in the market since the early 90’s, the TruXmart Roll-Up will offer a sleek, low-profile design, superior side seals, and rear smart latches that will allow its user to open this cover by simply pulling on the rear release loop.

 

In addition, we are currently re-engineering the TruXmart Smart Fold latch system based on consumer feedback. As a consequence, the next generation Smart Fold covers will be far easier to install and will be available for both domestic and imported light trucks.

 

Production and Delivery

 

TruXmart products are manufactured to our specifications and design in China. All of our soft (vinyl) covers are made in a factory in Ningbo, China. All future TruXmart hard products are expected to be manufactured in Jiangsu, China. Our soft cover factory is capable of producing 3,000 pieces per month and our hard cover factory is capable of producing 1,500 pieces per month. Production at both factories can be increased within thirty days to facilitate volumes up to ten times the Chinese contract manufacturers’ current output without any stress on their capacity.

 

Employees

 

Currently, we employ 2 full-time persons. We may hire additional employees in the future to facilitate anticipated growth projections. We reimburse our employee for all necessary and customary business related expenses.

 

We have no plans or agreements which provide health care, insurance or compensation on the event of termination of employment or change in our control.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes included herein.

 

Results of Operations

 

Revenue

 

For the year ended December 31, 2014, revenue generated from the entire line of TruXmart products was $593,000, as compared to $465,800 for the year ended, December 31, 2013. The year over year increase of approximately 27% was mainly attributable to the addition of new online retailers.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2014 revenue generated in Canada was $220,800 compared to $209,300 for the same period in 2013, an increase of 5%. The relative weakening of the Canadian Dollar compared to the United States Dollar during 2014 had a negative effect on reported revenues as a result of translating the sales denominated in Canadian Dollars to United States Dollars for financial statement reporting purposes. Canadian Dollar Sales increased to CDN$243,900 from CDN$215,500, an increase of 13% during the year ended December 31, 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2014 revenue generated in the United States was $372,200 compared to $256,500 for the same period in 2013. This represents an increase in US- source revenue of approximately 45% year over year. This large increase in the US is primarily attributable to the addition of online retailers.

 

 
14

 

Sales from online retailers of the TruXmart products increased from $231,097 in 2013 to $333,095 in 2014, an increase of 44%. The online retailers accounted for over 57% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to 50% for the year ended December 31, 2013. Distributor sales increased from $158,372 in 2013, to $175,356 in 2014.

 

Currently, TruXmart has two major distributors in Canada, one in the United States, along with its own contracted distribution and inventory facility in Depew, NY. This does not include multiple independent online retailers.

 

Although TruXmart currently supports a total of 13 dealers and distributors, TruXmart believes the trend of increasing sales through online retailers will continue to outpace the traditional distribution business model. Moreover, reputable online retailer’s customers tend to provide larger sales volumes, greater margin of profit as well as greater protection against price erosion.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales increased by 25% from $347,700 to $435,400, representing 74% of revenue. This increase was primarily due to a corresponding increase in sales for the year. Our cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, was approximately 75% and 74% for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

 

Our cost of sales, as a percentage of gross sales was static from 2013 to 2014 and we expect to maintain the same going forward. Increased sales requiring individual shipping in the U.S. market resulted in our freight costs having increased by $31,200. Freight costs are 22% of our costs of goods sold whereas in 2013 it accounted for 18%, however commissions paid have declined by $6,500 or 1% of our total cost of goods sold as American Aftermarket Group no longer requires a commission paid to them on sales to its members.

 

TruXmart provides its distributors and online retailers an “all-in” wholesale price. This includes any import duty charges, taxes and shipping charges. Discounts are applied if the distributor or retailer chooses to use their own shipping process. Certain exceptions apply on rare occasions where product is shipped outside the contiguous United Sates or from the United States to Canada. Volume discounts are also offered to certain higher volume customers.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2014 were $636,900 compared to $153,100 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase was the result of increased professional fees and transaction costs related to the process of completing the Definitive Share Exchange Agreement discussed previously. Our gain on foreign currency transactions increased by $32,075 during 2014 from a loss of $804 to a gain of $31,271. Foreign currency losses were caused by the weakening of the Canadian Dollar compared to the United States Dollar, as a significant portion of revenues and asset balances are denominated in Canadian Dollars. TruXmart’s inventory is purchased in United States Dollars and therefore, there are no foreign exchange fluctuations arising from US-source revenues. However, it is advantageous to TruXmart when the Canadian Dollar is “at par” or stronger than the United States Dollar, which it was for parts of 2013, as the Canadian funds collected from Canadian-source sales have better purchasing ability when converted to US Dollars. Our office and general expense decreased by $4,700, from $52,400 to $47,700. The decrease is a result of reduced expenses with respect to computer and insurance expenses and the fact that, as the majority of TruXmart’s office and general expenses are dominated in Canadian Dollars, fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate between the Canadian and United States Dollars had an advantageous result when translating these amounts into United States Dollars for financial reporting purposes. Shipping and freight increased $24,300 from $51,200 to $75,500. Freight increased because we had an increase of sales from our online retailers who request us to pay to ship, via ground courier, from our warehouse, direct to their customers home or business. Their “cost” of our product includes this shipping charge, which we then later have to pay. Sales and marketing increased $54,500 from $34,000 to $88,500. This increase is almost due exclusively to Truxmart’s participation at SEMA, the largest automotive aftermarket trade show in North America during November 2014. Expenses related directly to the completion of the Definitive Share Exchange Agreement totaled $299,839 while professional fees which include accounting, legal and consulting fees increased from $1,398 for the year ended December 31, 2013 to $93,284 for the year ended December 31, 2014, most of which were incidental to the Definitive Share Exchange Agreement.

Net Loss

 

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $479,300 compared to a net loss of $36,900 for the year ended December 31, 2013 despite an increase in gross profit from $118,600 in fiscal 2013 to $157,600 in fiscal 2014. The increase in the net loss was due to increased General and Administrative Expenses as discussed above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash Flow Activities

 

Cash increased from $17,500 at December 31, 2013 to $155,735 at December 31, 2014. This increase was primarily the result of proceeds from share subscriptions received during the month of December 2014 of $383,000. Accounts receivable decreased by $3,800 from $30,200 at December 31, 2013 to $26,400 at December 31, 2014. Inventory decreased by $66,200 from $155,000 at December 31, 2013 to $88,800 at December 31, 2014 largely as a result of the timing of inventory purchases in transit at December 31, 2013. Accounts payable increased by $126,500 from $160,000 at December 31, 2013 to $286,500 at December 31, 2014. The increase in payables is related to unpaid costs of the Definitive Share Exchange Agreement, which was executed on December 16, 2014.

 

Financing Activities

 

During 2013 and most of 2014 TruXmart funded working capital requirements principally through cash flows from operations and stockholder loans when required. Upon completion of the Definitive Share Exchange Agreement, the Company was able to raise capital through private placements of shares of the Company’s common stock. During December 2014, the Company received subscriptions for 2,775,360 shares of its common stock for proceeds of $383,000. In addition, subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company has received further subscriptions for 2,027,535 shares of its common stock for proceeds of $279,800.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements with any party.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventories, valuation of intangible assets and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

The accounting policies that we follow are set forth in Note 3 to our financial statements as included in this annual report. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

 

Voting Securities; Beneficial Ownership of the Company's Common Stock

 

The Company's common stock is the only class of voting equity securities that is currently outstanding and entitled to vote at a meeting of the Company's stockholders. Each share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one (1) vote on those matters requiring a vote of shareholders.

 

The Increase is related to the Acquisition. On December 16, 2014, the Company, Truxmart and Steven Rossi, the sole shareholder of Truxmart, entered into the Agreement, whereby the Company acquired all issued and outstanding shares of TruXmart. In accordance with the Agreement, Mr. Rossi is to be issued 37,700,000 shares. Therefore, the Increase is required in order to complete such acquisition. Prior to the Agreement, Mr. Rossi held all outstanding shares of Truxmart, consisting of 4,791 Class A common shares and TruXmart owned 2,300,000 common shares of the Company, which represented an 80.961285% ownership stake in the Company. Pursuant to the Agreement, Steven Rossi acquired from Truxmart, the 2,300,000 shares of common stock of the Company that Truxmart acquired by the cash purchase, on November 7, 2014, from certain former shareholders of the Company. We are also providing this Information Statement to the stockholders of the Company to inform them of the approval of the Acquisition by the Company’s Board of Directors and majority shareholder on December 9, 2014. The Acquisition requires that an additional 37,700,000 shares of common stock of the Company be issued to Steven Rossi. Such shares of common stock are of the same class and have the same rights as those held by the Company’s shareholders prior to the date of the Agreement. While dilutive to existing shareholders, such additional shares of common stock to be issued to Steven Rossi do not have preemptive rights. The consideration received by the Company in the Acquisition and for the Issuance is Truxmart, an operating company, which, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has allowed the Company to no longer be a shell company, as defined in Rule 144(i) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. No further authorization for the issuance of shares of common stock will be required or solicited for the Acquisition. No further federal or state regulatory requirements must be complied with or approval must be obtained in connection with the Acquisition.

 

 
17

 

There are no additional present plans or intentions to enter into another merger, consolidation, acquisition or similar business transaction.

 

As of April 9, 2015, the Company had 5,892,166 shares of common stock outstanding. Immediately after the Effective Date and until the appropriate filing occurs in Nevada, the number of issued and outstanding shares will be unchanged, namely 5,892,166 and 20,000,000 shares respectively. There are no preferred or convertible shares outstanding. Similarly, no Company options or warrants have been issued. However, common shares (aggregating 2,413,043) were issued to certain accredited investors who prospectively and financially supported the acquisition of the Company as the vehicle for carrying on the Truxmart business operations as a publicly traded company (through the Company) by entering into Share Issuance Agreements to purchase shares of common stock of the Company pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D.

 

The following table sets forth information at February 23, 2015, based on information obtained from the persons named below, with respect to the beneficial ownership of shares of common stock by (i) each person known by us to be the owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock, (ii) each director, (iii) each Named Officer and (iv) all existing executive officer and directors of the Company as a group.

Audit, Nominating and Compensation Committees of the Board of Directors

 

Our Board of Directors, currently comprised of only three directors, and does not have standing audit, nominating or compensation committees, committees performing similar functions, or charters for such committees. Instead, the functions that might be delegated to such committees are carried out by our Board of Directors, to the extent required. Our Board of Directors believes that the cost associated with such committees has not been justified under our current circumstances.

 

Our Board believes that its current members have sufficient knowledge and experience to fulfill the duties and obligations of an audit committee. The Board has determined that each of its members is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements and has substantial business experience that results in that member’s financial sophistication.

 

Our Board of Directors does not currently have a policy for the qualification, identification, evaluation or consideration of board candidates and does not think that such a policy is necessary at this time, because it believes that, given the small size of our Company, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our operations are at a more advanced level. Currently the entire Board decides on nominees.

 

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. It intends to do so during the current fiscal year.

Communications addressed to the Board of Directors as a whole will be delivered to each board member. Communications addressed to a specific director (or directors) will be delivered to the director (or directors) specified.

 

Security holder communications not sent to the Board of Directors as a whole or to specified board members will be relayed to all then existing board members.

 

Meetings of the Board of Directors and Stockholders

They will be reimbursed for their out of pocket disbursements and, in due course, any director not an employee of the Company will be paid directors’ fees in amount(s) to be determined for attendance and/or participation in Board Meetings.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Franchise Holdings International, Inc.:

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Franchise Holdings International, Inc., a development stage company (“the Company”) as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended, and for the period from March 12, 2001 (inception) through September 30, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Franchise Holdings International, Inc., as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, and for the period from March 12, 2001 (inception) through September 30, 2014 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

 

The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(1) Nature of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of Organization

 

Franchise Holdings International, Inc. (referenced as “we”, “us”, “our” in the accompanying notes) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 2, 2003. FSGI Corporation was incorporated in the State of Florida on May 15, 1997, and in a reorganization on December 21, 1998 with another corporation named The Martial Arts Network On-Line, Inc. (originally incorporated in Florida on May 23, 1996) changed its name to TMAN Global.Com, Inc. Franchise Holdings International, Inc. and TMAN Global.Com, Inc. consummated a merger on April 30, 2003 whereby Franchise Holdings International, Inc. exchanged 1 common share for all the 90,861 outstanding common shares of TMAN Global.Com, Inc. The purpose of the transaction was a change of domicile. Pursuant to the merger terms, Franchise Holdings International, Inc. was the surviving corporation and TMAN Global.Com, Inc. ceased to exist. The accompanying financial statements include the activities of Franchise Holdings International, Inc. and its predecessor corporations. Currently we are engaged in evaluating franchise opportunities, and are considered to be in the development stage.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a limited operating history and has suffered operating losses since Inception (March 12, 2001). These factors, among others, may indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

In recent years, we have relied upon our president and certain shareholders to contribute capital to maintain our limited operations (see Notes 2 and 3). There is no assurance that these loans will continue, or that we will be successful in raising the capital required to continue our operations.

 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and/or liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to meet our obligations on a timely basis, and, ultimately to attaining profitability.

 

Development Stage Company

 

We are in the development stage in accordance with the Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC) 915.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles permits management 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

FRANCHISE HOLDINGS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Footnotes to the Financial Statements

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

We consider all highly liquid securities with original maturities of three months or less when acquired, to be cash equivalents. We had no financial instruments that qualified as cash equivalents at September 30, 2014 and 2013.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of cash and current liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these items. These fair value estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes, nor do we utilize derivative instruments.

 

The FASB ASC clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. It also requires disclosure about how fair value is determined for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of inputs as follows:

 

Level 1:

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:

Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability.

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Earnings (Loss) per Common Share

 

We report earnings (loss) per share using a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share excludes the impact of common stock equivalents. Diluted earnings (loss) per share utilizes the average market price per share when applying the treasury stock method in determining common stock equivalents. At September 30, 2014 and 2013, there were no variances between the basic and diluted loss per share as there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding.

 

Income Taxes

 

We account for income taxes as required by the Income Tax Topic of the FASB ASC, which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

 

We have analyzed filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. The Company has identified its federal tax return and its state tax return in Colorado as “major” tax jurisdictions, as defined. We are not currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service or any other jurisdiction. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded.

(2) Related Party Transactions

 

During the year ended September 30, 2014, our president and two shareholders contributed $15,313 to us for working capital to support our development stage operations. These contributions are included in the accompanying financial statements as Additional paid-in capital.

 

During the year ended September 30, 2013, our president and two shareholders contributed $20,320 to us for working capital to support our development stage operations. These contributions are included in the accompanying financial statements as Additional paid-in capital.

 

During the year ended September 30, 2012, our president and two shareholders contributed $21,344 to us for working capital to support our development stage operations. These contributions are included in the accompanying financial statements as Additional paid-in capital.

 

During the year ended September 30, 2011, our president and two shareholders contributed $12,792 to us for working capital to support our development stage operations. These contributions are included in the accompanying financial statements as Additional paid-in capital.

 

During the year ended September 30, 2010, our president and two shareholders contributed $12,744 to us for working capital to support our development stage operations. These contributions are included in the accompanying financial statements as Additional paid-in capital.

 

During the year ended September 30, 2009, an officer contributed $82,260 to us for working capital to support our development stage operations. In addition, the officer gave 26,000 shares of his own stock in Franchise Holdings International, Inc. to other debtors in settlement of $18,000 in stock subscriptions payable and $170,729 in notes payable, which the officer then contributed to capital. Total contributions of $270,989 are included in the accompanying financial statements as Additional paid-in capital.

 

(3) Notes Payable

 

At September 30, 2008, we had $271,759 in notes payable outstanding to non-related parties, currently due, bearing interest at rates from 10 to 12 percent per annum, and convertible into common stock at $1 to $3 per share. Accrued interest payable under the notes at September 30, 2008 was $238,580. During 2009, the noteholders agreed to cancel the conversion feature and settle their notes upon payment of cumulative settlement amounts totaling $25,650 in cash and 20,000 common shares. The note settlements were finalized in the first quarter of fiscal year September 30, 2009. An officer provided (out of his personal shares in Franchise Holdings International, Inc.) the 20,000 shares for the note settlement. Pursuant to the note settlement, the noteholders, who were owed a total of $510,339, were given 20,000 of the Company’s common shares (by an officer out of his personal holdings) in settlement of $170,729 and $25,650 in cash as full settlement, resulting in a gain on debt relief for the Company totaling $313,960.

 

In 2003, an $18,000 note with an automatic conversion feature was recorded as a stock subscription payable for 6,000 common shares upon conversion. During the year ended September 30, 2009, an officer provided (out of his personal shares in Franchise Holdings International, Inc.) the 6,000 shares to settle the stock subscription payable.

(4) Income Taxes

 

The Company has incurred net operating losses since inception resulting in a deferred tax asset, which has been fully allowed for; therefore, the net benefit and expense resulted in no income tax provision.

 

(5) Subsequent Events

 

We have evaluated the effects of all subsequent events from October 1, 2014 through December 17, 2014, the date the accompanying financial statements were available for use.

 

a) Change of Control

 

Eight shareholders (“Sellers”) of Franchise Holdings International, Inc. (the “Company”) and Truxmart, Inc. (the “Buyer”) entered into eight (8) separate Stock Purchase Agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”), pursuant to which Sellers would sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer would purchase from the Sellers, an aggregate of 2,300,000 shares of the Company common stock (the “Shares”). Such aggregate Shares represent 86.96% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The purchase occurred on November 7, 2014 (the “Closing Date”). The Buyer paid an aggregate $215,000 for the Shares using corporate funds.

 

b) Entry into a Definitive Acquisition Agreement

 

On December 16, 2014, Franchise Holdings International, Inc. (the Company) entered into a three party Definitive Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire all issued and outstanding shares of TruXmart Ltd. (The Company” or TruXmart”), an Ontario (Canada) corporation located at 1895 Clements Road, Suite 155, Pickering, Ontario CANADA L1W 3R8, for 37,700,000 shares of the Company (the “the Company Shares”), representing 92.9925914% of the outstanding shares of the Company (the “Share Exchange”), calculated post-issuance. The Agreement was with Steven Rossi (“Rossi”), the sole shareholder of TruXmart and with TruXmart. Prior to the Share Exchange, Rossi held all outstanding shares of TruXmart, consisting of 4,791 Class A common shares and TruXmart owned 2,300,000 common shares of the Company, representing an 80.961285% ownership stake in the Company. Pursuant to the Share Exchange, Rossi acquired from TruXmart, its 2,300,000 the Company common shares and an additional 37,700,000 shares of the Company from the Company, in exchange for all 4,791 outstanding common shares of TruXmart. As a result of this Agreement, the Company is filing this Form 8-K. Once the transaction is closed, TruXmart will become the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, with the Company holding all 4,791 outstanding shares of TruXmart common stock. As a result of this acquisition, the Company has adopted the fiscal year end of TruXmart, which is December 31.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

TruXmart Ltd. 

Pickering, Ontario, Canada

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of TruXmart Ltd. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations, comprehensive loss and deficit, shareholder’s' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TruXmart Ltd. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Sales are recognized when products are shipped, with no right of return, and the title and risk of loss has passed to unaffiliated customers or when they are delivered based on the terms of the sale, there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, the price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenue related to shipping and handling costs billed to customers is included in net sales and the related shipping and handling costs are included in cost of products sold.

 

Capital Assets

 

Capital assets are recorded at cost and are amortized using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives:

 

Furniture and equipment

 

5 years

 

Computers

 

3 years

 

 

Income Taxes

 

Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income, and between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the consolidated financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled as prescribed in FASB ASC 740. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.

 

Tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more-likely-than-not the positions will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency using exchange rates in effect at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. All exchange gains and losses are included in the statement of operations and deficit.

 

For the purpose of presenting financial statements in United States Dollars, the assets and liabilities are expressed in United States Dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive loss and reported as cumulative translation adjustment in shareholder's equity.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Financial Instruments

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 825, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosures of the fair value of financial instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s current financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and shareholder loan, approximates their fair values because of the short-term maturities of these instruments.

 

Measurement

 

The Company initially measures its financial instrument at fair value, except for certain non-arm's length transactions.

 

The Company subsequently measures all its financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost, except for investments in equity instruments that are quoted in an active market, which are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings for the period in which they occur.

 

Financial assets measured at amortized cost include cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.

 

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and shareholder loan.

 

Impairment

 

Financial assets measured at cost are tested for impairment when there are indicators of impairment. The amount of the write-down is recognized in earnings for the period. The previously recognized impairment loss may be reversed to the extent of the improvement, directly or by adjusting the allowance account, provided it is no greater than the amount that would have been reported at the date of the reversal had the impairment not been recognized previously. The amount of the reversal is recognized in earnings for the period.

 

Transaction costs

 

The entity recognizes its transaction costs in net income in the period incurred. However, financial instruments that will not be subsequently measure at fair value are adjusted by the transaction costs that are directly attributable to their origination, issuance or assumption.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

A long-lived asset is tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying value amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows resulting from its use and eventual disposition. The impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the long-lived assets exceeds its fair value.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Related Party Transactions

 

All transactions with related parties are in the normal course of operations and are measured at the exchange amount.

 

Intangible Assets

 

The useful life of intangible assets is assessed as either finite or indefinite. Following the initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

 

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives.

 

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis. If impairment indicators are present, these assets are subject to an impairment review. Any loss resulting from impairment of intangible assets is expensed in the period the impairment is identified.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has considered recent accounting pronouncements during the preparation of these financial statements and does not expect any recent accounting pronouncements to have a material effect on its financial statements.

Financial Instruments (continued)

 

Currency Risk

 

The Company is exposed to currency risk on its sales and purchases denominated in Canadian Dollars. The Company actively manages these risks by adjusting its pricing to reflect currency fluctuations and purchasing foreign currency at advantageous rates.

 

As at December 31, 2013, cash includes 15,538 Canadian Dollars, accounts receivable includes 15,460 Canadian Dollars, accounts payable and accrued expenses include 45,442 Canadian Dollars and income taxes payable includes 6,718 Canadian Dollars.

 

Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company relies on cash flows generated from operations as well as injections of capital from its shareholder to settle its liabilities when they become due.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk due to the short-term maturity of its monetary current assets and current liabilities.

 

Concentration of Supplier Risk

 

The Company purchases all of its inventory from one supplier source in Asia. The Company carries significant strategic inventories of these materials to reduce the risk associated with this concentration of suppliers. Strategic inventories are managed based on demand. To date, the Company has been able to obtain adequate supplies of the materials used in the production of its products in a timely manner from existing sources. The loss of this key supplier or a delay in shipments could have an adverse effect on its business.

 

Concentration of Customer Risk

 

The following table includes the percentage of the Company's sales to significant customers for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. A customer is considered to be significant if they account for greater than 10% of the Company's annual sales.

Evaluation of Subsequent Events

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2013, the Company:

 

a) Issued 4,691 Class A common shares of the Company, to is existing shareholder as settlement of debt due to the shareholder in the amount of $4,286 (4,691 Canadian Dollars)).

 

b) Entered into a License Agreement whereby the Company was granted an exclusive license under Patent Rights to make, use, offer for sale, import or sell a proprietary latching system developed and patented by the Company's shareholder (the "Licensor"). The License Agreement allows the Company to manufacture or sub-license the patented latching system and provide services utilizing the patented latching system within the United States and its territories and possessions and any foreign countries where Patent Rights exist. The License Agreement does not require the payment of license issue fees or royalties, however, the Company will be required to maintain any fees or costs associated to keep the patent active. The License Agreement will be in effect for the life of the last-to-expire patent or last-to-be-abandoned patent application licensed under this Agreement, whichever is later. The Company will have the right to terminate the Agreement in whole or as to any portion of Patent Rights at any time by giving such notice to the Licensor. Should the Company violate or fail to perform any term of this Agreement, the Licensor may give written notice of such default ("Notice of Default") to the Company. Should the Company fail to repair such default within sixty days, of the effective date of such notice, the Licensor will have the right to terminate the License Agreement and the licenses therein by a second written notice ("Notice of Termination") to the Company. If a Notice of Termination is sent to the Company, the License Agreement will automatically terminate on the effective date of such notice.

 

c) Entered into an agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") for the provision of corporate advisory services including, but not limited to, the completion of a Going Public Transaction. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Company will pay a monthly fee of 5,000 Canadian Dollars (the "Advisory Fee") until May 1, 2016 unless the Advisory Agreement is extended by mutual agreement of the parties. Payment of the Advisory Fee will be deferred until such time as a Going Public Transaction is completed and the Company raises not less than 400,000 Canadian Dollars in its sales of stock and/ or other securities. The Advisory Agreement can be terminated for any reason by either party with ninety days written notice submitted by the party requesting the cancellation. In the event that the cancellation is for cause, the notification period can be reduced to thirty days subject to certain procedural requirements as defined in the Advisory Agreement.

 

d) Acquired 2,300,000 common shares of Franchise Holdings International Inc. ("NH") from eight separate parties for aggregate consideration of $215,000. The purchase was funded through debt payable to a third-party. The debt is non-interest bearing and does not have any formal terms of repayment. However, the Company expects to re-pay the debt using proceeds from future sales in its stock and/or other securities following completion of a Going Public Transaction.

Basis of Presentation

 

a) Statement of Compliance

 

The Company's interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") as issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). The Company's fiscal year end is December 31.

 

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Form 10-Q. They do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

The interim consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2014, the results of its operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, and its consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full year ending December 31, 2014.

 

b) Basis of Measurement

 

The Company's interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

 

c) Functional and Presentation Currency

 

These interim financial statements are presented in United States Dollars. The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian Dollar.

 

d) Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of interim financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Financial Instruments (continued)

 

Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company relies on cash flows generated from operations as well as injections of capital from its shareholder to settle its liabilities when they become due.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk due to the short-term maturity of its monetary current assets and current liabilities.

 

Concentration of Supplier Risk

 

The Company purchases all of its inventory from one supplier source in Asia. The Company carries significant strategic inventories of these materials to reduce the risk associated with this concentration of suppliers. Strategic inventories are managed based on demand. To date, the Company has been able to obtain adequate supplies of the materials used in the production of its products in a timely manner from existing sources. The loss of this key supplier or a delay in shipments could have an adverse effect on its business.

 

10.

License Agreement

 

During the period ended September 30, 2014, the Company entered into a License Agreement whereby the Company was granted an exclusive license under Patent Rights to make, use, offer for sale, import or sell a proprietary latching system developed and patented by the Company's shareholder (the "Licensor"). The License Agreement allows the Company to manufacture or sub-license the patented latching system and provide services utilizing the patented latching system within the United States and its territories and possessions and any foreign countries where Patent Rights exist. The License Agreement does not require the payment of license issue fees or royalties, however, the Company will be required to maintain any fees or costs associated to keep the patent active. The License Agreement will be in effect for the life of the last-to-expire patent or last-to-be-abandoned patent application licensed under this Agreement, whichever is later. The Company will have the right to terminate the Agreement in whole or as to any portion of Patent Rights at any time by giving such notice to the Licensor. Should the Company violate or fail to perform any term of this Agreement, the Licensor may give written notice of such default ("Notice of Default") to the Company. Should the Company fail to repair such default within sixty days, of the effective date of such notice, the Licensor will have the right to terminate the License Agreement and the licenses therein by a second written notice ("Notice of Termination") to the Company. If a Notice of Termination is sent to the Company, the License Agreement will automatically terminate on the effective date of such notice.

Commitments

 

During the period ended September 30, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") for the provision of corporate advisory services including, but not limited to, the completion of a Going Public Transaction. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Company will pay a monthly fee of 5,000 Canadian Dollars (the "Advisory Fee") until May 1, 2016 unless the Advisory Agreement is extended by mutual agreement of the parties. Payment of the Advisory Fee will be deferred until such time as a Going Public Transaction is completed and the Company raises not less than 400,000 Canadian Dollars in its sales of stock and/ or other securities. The Advisory Agreement can be terminated for any reason by either party with ninety days written notice submitted by the party requesting the cancellation. In the event that the cancellation is for cause, the notification period can be reduced to thirty days subject to certain procedural requirements as defined in the Advisory Agreement.

 

12.

Evaluation of Subsequent Events

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2014, the Company:

 

a) Acquired 2,300,000 common shares of Franchise Holdings International Inc. ("NH") from eight separate parties for aggregate consideration of $215,000. The purchase was funded through debt payable to a third-party. The debt is non-interest bearing and does not have any formal terms of repayment. However, the Company expects to re-pay the debt using proceeds from future sales in its stock and/ or other securities following completion of a Going Public Transaction.

 

b) Entered into a Definitive Share Exchange Agreement (the "Share Exchange Agreement") with its sole shareholder and FNHI, whereby the Company's shareholder will exchange all of the issued and outstanding Class A common shares of the Company for 40,000,000 shares of FNHI's common stock (the "Share Exchange"). Following completion of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of FNHI, and the Company's shareholder will own 40,000,000 of the 40,540,864 issued and outstanding shares of FNHI's common stock representing an ownership interest of 98.6659%.

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through December 17, 2014, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

SCHEDULE C.

 

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements give effect to the reverse acquisition transaction (the "Reverse Acquisition") between Franchise Holdings International Inc. ("FNHI") and TruXmart Ltd. ("TruXmart"). In the Reverse Acquisition, FNHI is required to issue 37,700,000 shares of its common stock to the sole shareholder of TruXmart in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding Class A common shares of TruXmart, which resulted in TruXmart becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of FNHI. As owners and management of TruXmart have voting and operating control of FNHI following the Reverse Acquisition, the transaction is accounted for as a reverse acquisition.

 

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements presented below are prepared by applying the acquisition method of accounting to a business combination that is a reverse acquisition. Pro forma adjustments which give effect to certain transactions occurring as a direct result of the Reverse Acquisition are described in the accompanying unaudited notes presented on the following pages. The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations and other comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2013, and the nine months ended September 30, 2014, present the combined results of operations as if the Reverse Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2013. The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2013 is prepared as though the Reverse Acquisition occurred on December 31, 2013. The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as September 30, 2014 is prepared as though the Reverse Acquisition occurred on September 30, 2014.

 

These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated financial position or results of operations in future periods or the results that actually would have been realized had FNHI and TruXmart been a combined company during the specified periods. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, are qualified in their entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with, TruXmart's audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, TruXmart's unaudited interim financial statements for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, FNHI's audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2014, FNHI's audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2013 as included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013, FNHI's unaudited interim financial statements for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 as included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, and FNHI's unaudited interim financial statements for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 as included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2012.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Franchise Holdings International, Inc.

 

Vaughan, Ontario, Canada


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Franchise Holdings International, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss and deficit, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated 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 Franchise Holdings International, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to the Financial Statements  

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013


 

1.

Nature of Operations and Reverse Acquisition Transaction

 

Franchise Holdings International, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 2, 2003. FSGI Corporation was incorporated in the State of Florida on May 15, 1997, and in a reorganization on December 21, 1998 with another corporation named The Martial Arts Network On-Line, Inc. (originally incorporated in Florida on May 23, 1996) changed its name to TMAN Global.Com, Inc. Franchise Holdings International, Inc. and TMAN Global.Com, Inc. consummated a merger on April 30, 2003 whereby Franchise Holdings International, Inc. exchanged 1 common share for all the 90,861 outstanding common shares of TMAN Global.Com, Inc. The purpose of the transaction was a change of domicile. Pursuant to the merger terms, Franchise Holdings International, Inc. was the surviving corporation and TMAN Global.Com, Inc. ceased to exist.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company completed a reverse acquisition transaction (the "Reverse Acquisition") with TruXmart Ltd. ("TruXmart") a company located at 1895 Clements Road, Unit 155, Pickering, Ontario, Canada. TruXmart designs and distributes truck tonneau covers in Canada and the United States. Prior to the completion of the Reverse Acquisition, TruXmart owned 2,300,000 shares of the Company, representing an 80.96% ownership stake in the Company. Pursuant to the Reverse Acquisition, the sole shareholder of TruXmart acquired the 2,300,000 shares from TruXmart and an additional 37,700,000 shares of the Company from the Company in exchange for all 4,791 Class A common shares of TruXmart. Following completion of the Reverse Acquisition, the former sole shareholder of TruXmart will own 40,000,000 of the 40,540,864 issued and outstanding shares of the Company, as of December 31, 2014, which would have represented a 98.67% ownership stake in the Company. As at December 31, 2014, the Company had yet to issue the 37,700,000 shares of its common stock as the Company is in the process of increasing its authorized share capital to allow it to issue such number of shares. To account for the effects of the Reverse Acquisition, the Company has retroactively restated amounts within certain components of Shareholders' Equity (Deficit) on the balance sheet as at December 31, 2013 to reflect the share subscriptions payable and the par value of the shares of the common stock of the Company issued in connection with the Reverse Acquisition to the shares of TruXmart outstanding as at December 31, 2013.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company incurred transaction costs of $299,839 which are included in the net loss and comprehensive loss for the year. As at December 31, 2014, $215,000 of the expenses have been paid in cash and the remaining $84,839 are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as they will be paid subsequent to December 31, 2014.

 

The transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition, as owners and management of TruXmart have voting and operating control of the Company following completion of the Reverse Acquisition.

 

The accompanying financial statements include the activities of Franchise Holdings International, Inc., its predecessor corporations and TruXmart.

Sales are recognized when products are shipped, with no right of return, and the title and risk of loss has passed to unaffiliated customers or when they are delivered based on the terms of the sale, there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, the price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenue related to shipping and handling costs billed to customers is included in net sales and the related shipping and handling costs are included in cost of products sold.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Capital Assets

 

Capital assets are recorded at cost and are amortized using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives:

 

 Furniture and equipment

 

5 years

 

 Computers

 

3 years

 

 

Income Taxes

 

Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income, and between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the consolidated financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled as prescribed in FASB ASC 740. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.

 

Tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more-likely-than-not the positions will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency using exchange rates in effect at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. All exchange gains and losses are included in the statement of operations and deficit.

 

For the purpose of presenting financial statements in United States Dollars, the assets and liabilities are expressed in United States Dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive loss and reported as cumulative translation adjustment in shareholder's equity.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Financial Instruments

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 825, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosures of the fair value of financial instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s current financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and shareholder loan, approximates their fair values because of the short-term maturities of these instruments.

 

Measurement

 

The Company initially measures its financial instrument at fair value, except for certain non-arm's length transactions.

 

The Company subsequently measures all its financial assets and financial liabilities at amortized cost, except for investments in equity instruments that are quoted in an active market, which are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings for the period in which they occur.

 

Financial assets measured at amortized cost include cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.

 

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and shareholder loan.

 

Impairment

 

Financial assets measured at cost are tested for impairment when there are indicators of impairment. The amount of the write-down is recognized in earnings for the period. The previously recognized impairment loss may be reversed to the extent of the improvement, directly or by adjusting the allowance account, provided it is no greater than the amount that would have been reported at the date of the reversal had the impairment not been recognized previously. The amount of the reversal is recognized in earnings for the period.

 

Transaction costs

 

The entity recognizes its transaction costs in net income in the period incurred. However, financial instruments that will not be subsequently measure at fair value are adjusted by the transaction costs that are directly attributable to their origination, issuance or assumption.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

A long-lived asset is tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying value amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows resulting from its use and eventual disposition. The impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the long-lived assets exceeds its fair value.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Related Party Transactions

 

All transactions with related parties are in the normal course of operations and are measured at the exchange amount.

 

Intangible Assets

 

The useful life of intangible assets is assessed as either finite or indefinite. Following the initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

 

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives.

 

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis. If impairment indicators are present, these assets are subject to an impairment review. Any loss resulting from impairment of intangible assets is expensed in the period the impairment is identified.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has considered recent accounting pronouncements during the preparation of these financial statements and does not expect any recent accounting pronouncements to have a material effect on its financial statements.

Financial Instruments (continued)

 

Liquidity Risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company relies on cash flows generated from operations, as well as injections of capital through the issuance of the Company's capital stock to settle its liabilities when they become due. Subsequent to December 31, 2014, the Company received subscriptions for 2,027,535 shares of the Company's common stock for proceeds of $279,800.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk due to the short-term maturity of its monetary current assets and current liabilities.

 

Concentration of Supplier Risk

 

The Company purchases all of its inventory from one supplier source in Asia. The Company carries significant strategic inventories of these materials to reduce the risk associated with this concentration of suppliers. Strategic inventories are managed based on demand. To date, the Company has been able to obtain adequate supplies of the materials used in the production of its products in a timely manner from existing sources. The loss of this key supplier or a delay in shipments could have an adverse effect on its business.

 

Concentration of Customer Risk

 

The following table includes the percentage of the Company's sales to significant customers for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. A customer is considered to be significant if they account for greater than 10% of the Company's annual sales.

The Company will have the right to terminate the Agreement in whole or as to any portion of Patent Rights at any time by giving such notice to the Licensor. Should the Company violate or fail to perform any term of this Agreement, the Licensor may give written notice of such default ("Notice of Default") to the Company. Should the Company fail to repair such default within sixty days, of the effective date of such notice, the Licensor will have the right to terminate the License Agreement and the licenses therein by a second written notice ("Notice of Termination") to the Company. If a Notice of Termination is sent to the Company, the License Agreement will automatically terminate on the effective date of such notice.
