Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in US dollars)

(unaudited)

 

1.     Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business

 

Stevia Nutra Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 30, 2010. The Company is a development stage company, as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915, Development Stage Entities.

 

On January 4, 2012, the Company underwent a change of control where the former President and Director of the Company sold 120,000,000 post-split common shares to a company controlled by the current President and Director of the Company. In addition to the private sale of common shares, the Company and its Board of Directors changed its name to Stevia Nutra Corp. and changed its principal operations from the business of car rental to focusing on the business of cultivation, development and post-harvest processing of Stevia plants for use as a sweetener.

 

On January 20, 2012, Mighty Mekong Argo Industries Co., Ltd., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, was incorporated in the Kingdom of Cambodia to assist with the cultivation and propagation of Stevia plants.

 

Going Concern

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As of January 31, 2013, the Company has not recognized any revenue, has a working capital deficit of $178,229, and has an accumulated deficit of $936,082. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its management, and its ability to identify future investment opportunities and obtain the necessary debt or equity financing, and generating profitable operations from the Company’s future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

a)	Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars.  The Company’s fiscal year end is July 31.

b)	Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

a)	Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

 

These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future period.

 

b)	Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As at January 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

c)	Prepaid expenses and deposits

 

The Company has classified prepaid expenses and deposits held for less than one year as current assets and security deposits held for periods longer than one year as long-term assets.

 

d)	Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

 

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share . ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

e)	Financial Instruments

 

Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , an entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1

 

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2

 

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

f)	Financial Instruments (continued)

 

Level 3

 

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts due to related parties.  Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of our cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. We believe that the recorded values of all of our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

 

g)	Comprehensive Loss

 

ASC 220, Comprehensive Income , establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As of October 31 and July 31, 2012, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.

h)	Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

j)	Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with ASC 830 Foreign Currency Translation Matters, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars and Cambodian riels. The Company has not, to the date of these financials statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

3.    Long Term Deposits

Long term deposits represent amounts paid by the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Mighty Mekong Argo Industries Co., Inc., as security deposits pursuant to lease agreements entered into during 2012. Long term deposits consist of payments for the following security deposits:

a)

$20,000 paid as a security deposit for the land lease agreement for the lease of 20 hectares of land in the Kampong Speu Province of the Kingdom of Cambodia (Refer to Note 8(d)). The amount will be repaid to the Company at the end of the lease in five years unless the agreement is extended or terminated earlier than the lease term.

 

b)	$4,500, representing three month’s rent, paid as a security deposit on an apartment leased by the Company.

4.     Stock Price Protection Liability

 

On August 20, 2012, the Company entered into a Financing Agreement with Fairhills Capital Offshore Ltd. whereby Fairhills Capital will provide for a non-brokered financing arrangement of up to $3,000,000. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company can settle the amount with the issuance of common shares equal to an issuance price of 75% of the average share price of the Company for the ten trading days prior to notice of settlement.

In connection with the financing agreement, the Company also entered into a securities purchase agreement with Fairhills.  Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, Fairhills purchased 312,500 shares of common stock at $0.24 per share for total proceeds of $75,000.

Pursuant to the agreement, the Company was required to file with the SEC the Registration Statement by the filing deadline and if not filed by this date the Company would be required to make pro rata payments equal to 1% of the aggregate amount invested by Fairhills for each 30-day period for which the Registration Statement is not filed. However, the purchaser has waived the payment for the late filing of the Registration Statement.

The securities purchase agreement also contains a price protection provision. According to the price protection provision, the shares to be purchased pursuant to the securities purchase agreement will be valued at 25% discount to the price of the Company’s common stock on the effectiveness date (the “Share Value”). In the event that the Share Value is less than $75,000, the Company will issue additional shares of registered common stock to Fairhills Capital, such that the value of the total shares being issued to Fairhills Capital will total $75,000 but limited to a floor of $0.05 per share and includes an option for the Company to repay and differences resulting from the stock price protection provision in cash or with the issuance of additional shares.  As the Company’s stock has decreased since the date of the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company has recorded a liability of $75,000 relating to the stock price protection provision.

5.     Notes Payable

 

a)

On March 5, 2012, the Company issued a promissory note for $10,000 to a non-related party. The amount owing is unsecured, with interest accruing at 5% per annum, and due March 5, 2014.

b)

On March 29, 2012, the Company issued a promissory note for $10,000 to a non-related party. The amount owing is unsecured, with interest accruing at 5% per annum, and due March 29, 2014. As at January 31, 2013, accrued interest of $422 (July 31, 2012 - $170) was recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

6.     Common Stock

 

a)

On January 11, 2012, the Company increased the authorized number of common shares from 75,000,000 common shares to 200,000,000 common shares and effected a forward split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares on a basis of 15 for 1. Upon effect of the forward split, the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock increased from 10,400,000 to 156,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.001, and has been applied on a retroactive basis.

General Overview

 

We were incorporated in Nevada on April 30, 2010 under the name AAA Best Car Rental Inc. We planned to offer discounted car rental services, by acquiring late model vehicles from used car auctions.  On January 4, 2012, we underwent a change of control and a change in management through the purchase of 8,000,000 pre-split shares of our stock by Atlantic and Pacific Communications Inc., from our former director and officer, Suresh Gupta.  On January 11, 2012, we received approval from our board of directors, and Atlantic and Pacific Communications Inc., our majority shareholder, to effect a change of name to Stevia Nutra Corp., increase our authorized capital to 200,000,000 shares of common stock and to effect a forward split of our issued and outstanding shares on a 1 old for 15 new basis.  On January 25, 2012, we filed a certificate of amendment to change our name to Stevia Nutra Corp., with the Secretary of State of Nevada which became effective in the State of Nevada on March 5, 2012 upon approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) .   We maintain our business offices at 37 Bannisters Road, Corner Brook, Newfoundland, Canada, A2H 1M5, and our telephone number is [phone].

 

Effective March 5, 2012, in accordance with approval from FINRA, we changed our name from AAA Best Car Rental Inc. to Stevia Nutra Corp.  In addition, our issued and outstanding shares of common stock increased from 10,400,000 shares of common stock to 156,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.001, pursuant to a 1:15 forward split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

 

Also effective March 5, 2012, our authorized capital increased from 75,000,000 shares of common stock to 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.001.

Effective April 17, 2012, our common stock changed from “AAAB” to “STNT” to better reflect the new name of our company.

 

Our Current Business

 

As our company was unable to secure the financing required to continue with the car rental business, on January 4, 2012, in conjunction with a change in control, we changed our business focus to the business of the cultivation, development and post-harvest processing of stevia plants for use as a sweetener.  On March 9, 2012, our wholly owned subsidiary, Mighty Mekong Agro Industries Co., Ltd., entered into and closed a lease agreement with Sara Ramany, a resident of Cambodia, for the lease of 20 hectares of land in the Kampong Speu Province of the Kingdom of Cambodia.  The land is intended to be used in agricultural production, and more specifically in the cultivation and propagation of Stevia plants.

 

Our initial plan of operation is to organize an operational team on the ground in Cambodia, open an administration office, construct a Stevia propagation center and construct greenhouses and a nursery.  Following these developments, we anticipate propagating more than 1,000,000 seedlings ready for plantation and installing approximately ten hectares of Stevia plants.

 

Effective June 1, 2012, we entered into a consulting agreement with Atlantic and Pacific Communications Ltd., a company controlled by director and officer Brian W. Dicks, whereby Mr. Dicks has agreed to provide consulting services as our company’s president, for a period ending June 1, 2014.  In consideration for Mr. Dicks agreeing to provide such consulting, we have agreed to pay Mr. Dicks a salary of $3,500 per month during the term of the consulting agreement.

 

Also effective June 1, 2012, Mighty Mekong Agro Industries Co. Ltd., our wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into an agreement with Ecologica Co. Ltd., whereby Ecologica has agreed to provide certain services, associated with the cultivation of stevia, to Mighty Mekong and our company for a period of twelve months.  Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Ecologica will receive payments of $7,000 per month, in consideration for the services provided.

 

On August 20, 2012, we entered into an investment agreement with Fairhills Capital Offshore Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company. Pursuant to the terms of the investment agreement, Fairhills shall commit to purchase up to $3,000,000 of our common stock over a period of up to 36 months.

 

In connection with the investment agreement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with Fairhills on August 20, 2012. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, we are obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) covering 11,000,000 shares of the common stock underlying the investment agreement within 21 days after the closing of the investment agreement. In addition, we are obligated to use all commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC within 120 days after the closing of the investment agreement and maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until termination in accordance with the investment agreement.

 

In connection with the financing agreement, we also entered into a securities purchase agreement with Fairhills.  Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, Fairhills has agreed to purchase 312,500 shares of our common stock at $0.24 per share for total proceeds of $75,000.

 

The securities purchase agreement also contains a price protection provision. According to the price protection provision, the shares to be purchased pursuant to the securities purchase agreement will be valued at 25% discount to the price of our common stock on the effectiveness date (the “Share Value”).  In the event that the Share Value is less than $75,000, we will issue additional shares of registered common stock to Fairhills Capital, such that the value of the total shares being issued by us to Fairhills Capital will total $75,000.

 

On December 20, 2012, we amended the share purchase agreement with Fairhills limiting the price protection provision to a floor of $0.05 per share and to include the option for us to repay any difference resulting from the stock price protection provision in cash or with the issuance of additional shares.

Results of Operations

 

We have incurred recurring losses to date. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation.

 

We expect we will require additional capital to meet our long term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through, among other things, the sale of equity or debt securities.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financial statements.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements of our company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars.  Our company’s fiscal year end is July 31.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. Our company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by our company may differ materially and adversely from our company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

 

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

 

These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future period.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Our company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As at January 31, 2013 and July 31, 2012, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

Prepaid Expenses and Deposits

 

Our company has classified prepaid expenses and deposits held for less than one year as current assets and security deposits held for periods longer than one year as long-term assets.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

 

Our company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share . ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

Financial Instruments

 

Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , an entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 - Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

 

Level 3 - Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Our company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, bank indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts due to related parties.  Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of our cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. We believe that the recorded values of all of our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

 

Comprehensive Loss

 

ASC 220, Comprehensive Income , establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As of October 31, 2012 and July 31, 2012, our company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

Our company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with ASC 830 Foreign Currency Translation Matters, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars and Cambodian riels. Our company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
