Teacher’s Pet, Inc.
(a Development Stage Company)
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Basis of presentation
The interim financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the
year ended December 31, 2008 and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K annual report. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.
Results of operations for the interim periods are not indicative of annual results.
Note 2 – History and organization of the company
The Company was organized September 17, 2004 (Date of Inception) under the laws of the State of Nevada, as Teacher’s Pet, Inc. The Company has had minimal operations and is considered a development stage company. The business of the Company is to sell supplies for teachers via the Internet. The Company
has no operations and in accordance with SFAS #7, the Company is considered a development stage company. The Company is authorized to issue 75,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock.
Note 3 - Going concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of ($31,239) for the period from September 17, 2004 (inception) to September 30, 2009, and had no sales. The future of
the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of its business opportunities. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot
continue in existence.
In the event additional capital is required, the President of the Company has agreed to provide funds over the next twelve-month period, as may be required. However, the Company is dependent upon its ability, and will continue to attempt, to secure equity and/or debt financing. There are no assurances that the Company
will be successful and without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.

Note 4 – Impairment of Assets
During the three month period ended September 30, 2009, management conducted a thorough review of the inventory in all of its product lines. As a result, a provision for inventory losses of $997 was charged against operations in 2009 to write down inventory to its net realizable value. This was based on the Company’s
best estimates of product sales prices and customer demand patterns, and its plans to transition its products. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimates used by the Company to determine its provision for inventory losses will materially different from the actual amounts or results. These differences could result in materially higher than expected inventory provisions, which could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition
in the near term.
Note 5 – Fixed assets
Fixed assets as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, consisted of the following:

If a specific business opportunity becomes available, such persons may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and their other business interests. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.

Management’s Discussion and Results of Operation
We are in the business of selling products and providing services to assist teachers and parents further the education of children aged between kindergarten through sixth grade. Our target market consists primarily of elementary schools and teachers of grades kindergarten through sixth initially in the Phoenix, Arizona and Las
Vegas, Nevada metropolitan areas. We also believe that parents who home-school their children may also be attracted to our proposed products. We believe that children may benefit from being exposing to educational stimuli at an early age outside the classroom environment.
Since our inception on September 17, 2004 to September 30, 2009, we have not generated any revenues and have only incurred expenses related to the implementation and pursuit of our business objectives. As a result of our lack of revenues and ongoing operational expenses, we have incurred net losses for all periods since our
inception.
Total operating expenses during the three month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, were $1,529. The consistency in expenses for the quarter year over year comparison is due to our minimal operations. Expenses primarily consist of depreciation expense on our computer equipment and fees related to our public
reporting obligations. Despite the identical level of expenditures in the comparable periods, we expect operating expenditures to increase during fiscal year 2010, due to initiatives to be discussed in detail below.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, our management reviewed inventory on hand and, based upon anticipated customer demand and an overall evaluation of the market for such similar products, we decided to impair all existing items in inventory. As such, we recorded a provision for inventory losses in the amount of $997
to write down inventory. We did not record any impairment to inventory during the three month period ended September 30, 2008. As a result of this impairment, we currently have no existing saleable inventory.
In the three month period ended September 30, 2009, our net loss totaled $2,526, compared to a net loss of $1,529 in the three month period ended September 30, 2008. We have not been profitable from our inception in 2004 through present 2009. There is significant uncertainty projecting future profitability due to
our history of losses and lack of revenues. We anticipate incurring ongoing operating losses for the foreseeable future and cannot provide any guidance otherwise. We have no recurring or guaranteed source of revenues and cannot predict when, if ever, we will become profitable. We anticipate incurring ongoing operating losses and cannot predict when, if at all, we may expect these losses to plateau or narrow. There is significant uncertainty projecting future profitability
due to our minimal operating history and lack of guaranteed ongoing revenue streams.
In order for us to achieve profitability and support our planned ongoing operations, we believe that we must generate a minimum of approximately $10,000 - $15,000 in sales per year. However, we cannot guarantee that we will generate any sales, let alone achieve that target. In our current state, we are unable to determine
when, if ever, we will be able to realize any sales of our educational products. Personal discussions between our sole officer and director and educators in the primary and secondary grade levels have indicated financial stress has caused many teachers to reduce their expenditures on teaching materials and, in some cases, the money spent on daily classroom supplies. Given this non-scientific research data obtained through first-hand candid interviews, we believe our future business environment
to be challenging, at best. As a result, we cannot guarantee that we will generate any sales, let alone achieve our target of $10,000 - $15,000 in annual sales. Additionally, as we have no existing inventory, and inadequate capital to purchase additional inventory for sale, we do not expect to generate sufficient revenues to meet our expenses over the next 12 months.
Despite the challenges we expect to continue to face, our management remains steadfast in the belief that a child’s education is the priority of all parents and teachers. Consequently, we are planning to initiate the following initiatives:
|
1. |
Attain Financing: Our cash on hand as of September 30, 2009 was $694. We do not believe this is sufficient to support our ongoing minimal level of operations, nor to undertake the initiatives set forth hereto. Therefore, we plan to raise additional capital through sales of equity or debt instruments, or some derivation thereupon. We
believe we require a minimum of $10,000 to successfully attempt the business development program we have planned. However, we cannot assure you that any additional financing can be obtained or, if obtained, that it will be on reasonable terms. In the event we are unable to obtain any additional funds, we will be unable to conduct further operations and, consequently, go out of business. |
|
2. |
Acquire Inventory: Our sole officer and director has contacted various vendors, including, without limitation: Omni Products, Mirage International, Four Seasons Merchandise and Zhejiang Huangyan. Some, or all, of these vendors offer: flexible payment terms, the ability to drop-ship merchandise, low- or no-minimum order values and/or voluminous
product catalogs. Upon attaining funds, as set forth in initiative 1, above, we plan to begin to place purchase orders for saleable inventory. As mentioned, the bulk of potential suppliers have very lenient purchase requirements; thus, we expect to require no more than $2,000, in funds with which to begin to purchase inventory. |
|
3. |
Establish a Website: Previously, we relied upon word of mouth and personal sales to generate brand awareness and drive purchases. Obviously, that did not provide any measurable success. Therefore, we have reserved the domain www.eteacherspet.com, whereupon we plan to establish an e-commerce website. We currently have
no pages published. Upon attaining sufficient financing, we plan to immediately begin development and publication of an operating e-commerce store. Due to the depressed economy and relatively plentiful amount of web developers in the marketplace, we expect to be able to establish a functional website for no more than $3,000. However, numerous factors will influence the actual price paid for full development, such as complexity of the build, number of products to be listed and
other variables we may not foresee. |
|
4. |
Develop a Sales and Marketing Strategy: Upon establishing a presence on the web, we plan to develop a sales and marketing strategy to generate awareness of our brand and website. We believe this will be the single most difficult initiative, as we will have significantly limited control over its success. At this time, we plan
to utilize Google AdWords, establish sales accounts with Amazon.com and/or Buy.com, as well as attempt to establish link exchanges to facilitate the development organic Internet traffic. This is our current strategy, though there can be no assurance that we will revise or develop a completely different plan. We anticipate allocating, based upon a $10,000 financing commitment, up to $5,000 toward our Internet marketing strategy. |
|
5. |
Identify and Appoint Additional Employees or Executives: Our sole officer and director may not have sufficient experience or foresight to be able to direct every aspect of our business. We intend to seek additional personnel, to employ or appoint to executive officer status, that can provide additional expertise or, at a minimum, the ability
to segregate responsibilities to have more effective internal controls. Unfortunately, the $10,000 minimum financing amount is insufficient to complete this initiative. However, our sole officer and director believes she has contacts with educators or stay-at-home parents that could volunteer time or expertise to our operations on a part time basis until our finances permit hiring full-time or more qualified personnel. |
There are no known trends, events or uncertainties, other than those disclosed heretofore, that have had or that are reasonably expected to have a material impact on our revenues from continuing operations.
Management’s Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s
principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
|
1. |
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; |
|
2. |
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and |
|
3. |
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies
or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However,
these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
As of September 30, 2009, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and
SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were:
|
1. |
Lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; |
|
2. |
Inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and |
|
3. |
Ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. |
The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of September 30, 2009.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2) and (3) above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment
and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:
|
1. |
We plan to form an audit committee, which we expect to take place in the first quarter of 2010. |
|
2. |
We are seeking to add additional personnel, who may be appointed to our board of directors as outside members and/or serve in a capacity to allow us to better segregate job responsibilities. |
|
3. |
We have developed internal control procedures over financial disclosure and reporting. However, these procedures are, and will continue to be, ineffective without additional personnel. |
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting
There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
In December 2005, we sold an aggregate of 320,500 shares of our common stock to 29 shareholders, none of whom are affiliates of Teacher’s Pet. The shares were issued at a price of $0.05 per share for total cash in the amount of $16,025, of which $8,000 was considered subscriptions receivable at December 31, 2005, and were
subsequently cleared in January 2006. The shares bear a restrictive transfer legend. This December 2005 transaction (a) involved no general solicitation, (b) involved less than thirty-five non-accredited purchasers and (c) relied on a detailed disclosure document to communicate to the investors all material facts about Teacher’s Pet, Inc., including an audited balance sheet, statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows.
