Overview
Band Rep Management, Inc. (BRM, we, the Company) was incorporated in the State of Nevada as a for-profit Company on May 4, 2012 and established a fiscal year end of May 31.
The Company intends to find and manage new music talents and bands for a 25% take of the earnings.
Plan of Operation
As of August 31, 2014, our president and director has loaned $25,830 in the Company. At the present time, we have generated no revenues from our business operations. We will need additional cash and if we are unable to raise it, we will either suspend marketing operations until we do raise the cash necessary to continue our business plan, or we cease operations entirely.
If we are unable to complete any phase of our business plan or marketing efforts because we dont have enough money, we will cease our development and/or marketing activities until we raise money.
As of the quarter ended August 31, 2014 we had $515 of cash on hand and operating expenses in the amount of $8,430 as compared to $515 of cash on hand and operating expenses of $7,875 for the three months ended August 31, 2013. These operating expenses were comprised of professional fees and office and general expenses.
Our current cash holdings will not satisfy our liquidity requirements and we will require additional financing to pursue our planned business activities. We have registered 110,022,572 of our common stock for sale to the public. Our registration statement became effective on April 16, 2013 and we are in the process of seeking equity financing to fund our operations over the next 12 months.
Management believes that if subsequent private placements are successful, we will generate sales revenue within the following twelve months thereof. However, additional equity financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all, and thus we could fail to satisfy our future cash requirements.
In order to have a successful Business, BRM needs to implement its initial plan of operations as described below. We plan to have all the business structure ready before searching for the talents so we can start developing their careers and generating revenue. The actions described below are intended to take place in the order presented herein and only after successfully accomplishing the prior step.

-
Step 1 Research and interviews with attorneys: Our president will search for legal advice for the preparation of an initial services contract. It will be important to find a competent and reliable attorney and negotiate the best possible fee. Because we will possibly need legal advice in various moments (between us and our possible clients, record labels, music studios, etc.), a good relationship with a good attorney will be essential. The time frame estimated to accomplish these tasks will be 2 months and cost estimated at $12,000.
-
Step 2 Research and Initial contact with music studios and labels: Our president will, after completing the first step described above, research and negotiate deals with music studios and labels. The objective is to form long lasting relationships with agents and promoters. The time frame estimated to accomplish these tasks will be 4 months and cost estimated at $10,000.
-
Step 3 Website development: We plan to have our website fully developed only when we have successfully completed the steps described above. The Companys president will oversee all the development of the website and will hire the necessary third party web developer, if necessary. The new artists would be able to upload their files for future BRM analysis and approval. At that point, we believe that well be prepared to manage our business. The time frame estimated to accomplish these task will be 3 months and cost estimated at $5,000.
-
Step 4 Marketing Campaign: Our goal is to create public awareness on our business. We intend to advertise on internet social media channels, such as Facebook and place advertisements in specialized magazines and websites. The time frame estimated to accomplish these tasks will be 3 months and cost estimated at $12,000.
In summary, we anticipate that we will be fully operational 12 months after we have raised enough funds to implement our Plan of Operations. We believe that we will begin to generate revenue after we are able to successfully develop the steps described above. If we cannot generate sufficient revenues to continue operations, we will suspend or cease operations. We believe we will be able to successfully implement our plan of operations if we raise at least 25% of the securities offered for sale by the Company.
We do not currently have any employees and management does not plan to hire employees at this time. We do not expect the purchase or sale of any significant equipment and have no current material commitments.
Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are a development stage corporation and have not generated any revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources.
12
Capital Resources
If BRM is unsuccessful in raising the additional proceeds through a private placement offering it will then have to seek additional funds through debt financing, which would be very difficult for a new development stage company to secure. Therefore, the company is highly dependent upon the success of the anticipated private placement offering described herein and failure thereof would result in BRM having to seek capital from other resources such as debt financing, which may not even be available to the company. However, if such financing were available, because BRM is a development stage company with no operations to date, it would likely have to pay additional costs associated with high risk loans and be subject to an above market interest rate. At such time these funds are required, management would evaluate the terms of such debt financing and determine whether the business could sustain operations and growth and manage the debt load. If BRM cannot raise additional proceeds via a private placement of its common stock or secure debt financing it would be required to cease business operations. As a result, investors in BRM common stock would lose all of their investment.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangement
The company is dependent upon the sale of its common shares to obtain the funding necessary to carry out its business plan. Our President, Sergio Galli has undertaken to provide the Company with operating capital to sustain its business over the next twelve month period, as the expenses are incurred, in the form of a non-secured loan. However, there is no contract in place or written agreement securing these agreements. Investors should be aware that Mr. Gallis expression is neither a contract nor agreement between him and the company.
Other than the above described situation the Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures, our principal executive and financial officer has concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective. For the three-month period ended August 31, 2014 there were no changes in the internal control over this financial report. It remains the same as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2014. The Companys principal executive and financial officer has determined that there are material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures.
The material weaknesses in our disclosure control procedures are as follows:
1. Lack of formal policies and procedures necessary to adequately review significant accounting transactions. The Company utilizes a third party independent contractor for the
13
preparation of its financial statements. Although the financial statements and footnotes are reviewed by our management, we do not have a formal policy to review significant accounting transactions and the accounting treatment of such transactions. The third party independent contractor is not involved in the day to day operations of the Company and may not be provided information from management on a timely basis to allow for adequate reporting/consideration of certain transactions.
2. Audit Committee and Financial Expert. The Company does not have a formal audit committee with a financial expert, and thus the Company lacks the board oversight role within the financial reporting process.
We intend to initiate measures to remediate the identified material weaknesses including, but not necessarily limited to, the following:
For the three-month period ended August 31, 2014 there were no changes in the internal control over financial reporting as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2014. Management is aware that there is a significant deficiency and a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and therefore has concluded that the Companys internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of August 31, 2014. The significant deficiency relates to a lack of segregation of duties due to the small number of employees involvement with general administrative and financial matters. The material weakness relates to a lack of formal policies and procedures necessary to adequately review significant accounting transactions.
There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended August 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
