VERVE VENTURES INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes To The Financial Statements (Unaudited)
January 31, 2011
1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS
VERVE VENTURES INC.("the Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State
of Nevada, U.S. on February 23, 2010. The Company is in the development stage as
defined under Statement on Financial Accounting Standards Codification FASB ASC
915-205"Development-Stage Entities." and it intends to provide waste removal and
disposal services to corporate and individual clients in the United Kingdom. Our
services will be focused on a client base that is willing to pay a premium to
assure both social and environmental concerns are addressed in all aspects of
waste collection and disposal. We intend to operate a fleet of vehicles and a
sorting/storage facilities both of which will begin small and scalable.
The Company has not generated any revenue to date and consequently its
operations are subject to all risks inherent in the establishment of a new
business enterprise. For the period from inception, February 23, 2010 through
January 31, 2011 the Company has accumulated losses of $22,543.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are
presented in US dollars.
b) Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which
assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its
liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The
Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit
of $22,543 as of January 31, 2011. and further losses are anticipated in the
development of its business raising substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going
concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the
future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and
repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come
due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months
with existing cash on hand and loans from directors and or private placement of
common stock.
c) 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.
d) Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of 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 financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
e) Foreign Currency Translation
The Company's functional currency is the British Pound and its reporting
currency is the United States dollar.
f) Financial Instruments
Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market
participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. ASC 820-10 establishes
a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of
observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that
7
VERVE VENTURES INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes To The Financial Statements (Unaudited)
January 31, 2011
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
the most observable inputs be used when available. FASB ASC 820 establishes a
fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation
methodologies into the following three levels:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in
active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable
evidence of fair value and must be used to measure fair value whenever
available.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as
quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that
are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by
observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity's own
assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing
an asset or liability. For example, level 3 inputs would relate to forecasts of
future earnings and cash flows used in a discounted future cash flows method.
The recorded amounts of financial instruments, including cash equivalents
accounts payable and accrued expenses, and long-term debt approximate their
market values as of January 31, 2011
g) Stock-based Compensation
We follow ASC 718-10, "Stock Compensation", which addresses the accounting for
transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or
services, with a primary focus on transactions in which an entity obtains
employee services in share-based payment transactions. ASC 718-10 is a revision
to SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and supersedes
Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees," and its related implementation guidance. ASC 718-10 requires
measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award
of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with
limited exceptions). Incremental compensation costs arising from subsequent
modifications of awards after the grant date must be recognized. The Company has
not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options. The
Company granted stock awards, at par value, to its officers, directors and
advisors for services rendered in its formation. Accordingly, stock-based
compensation has been recorded to date.
h) Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the assets and liability method. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
i) Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
The basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the Company's net
income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common
shares during the year. The diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by
dividing the Company's net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the
diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The
diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted
number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.
Because the Company does not have any potentially dilutive securities, the
accompanying presentation is only of basic loss per share. Diluted earnings
(loss) per share are the same as basic earnings (loss) per share due to the lack
of dilutive items in the Company.

j) Fiscal Periods
The Company's fiscal year end is October 31.
k) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC 105, Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles as the single source of authoritative accounting
principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in
the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, aside from
those issued by the SEC. ASC 105 does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is
intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all
authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. The
adoption of ASC 105 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial
statements, but did eliminate all references to pre-codification standards.
In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU")
No.2010-09, "Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements"
("ASU2010-09"), which is included in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification
(the "ASC") Topic 855 (Subsequent Events). ASU 2010-09 clarifies that an SEC
filer is required to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the
financial statements are issued. ASU 2010-09 is effective upon the issuance of
the final update and did not have a significant impact on the Company's
financial statements.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect
and that may impact its financial statements and 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.
3. COMMON STOCK
The authorized capital of the Company is 75,000,000 common shares with a par
value of $ 0.001 per share.
In April 2010, the Company issued 3,500,000 shares of common stock at a price
of $0.001 per share for total cash proceeds of $3,500.
In June and July of 2010, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock at
a price of $0.003 per share for total cash proceeds of $9,000.
In July, August, September of 2010, the Company issued 2,550,000 shares of
common stock at a price of $0.005 per share for total cash proceeds of $12,750.
During the period February 23, 2010 (inception) to October 31, 2010, the Company
sold a total of 9,050,000 shares of common stock for total cash proceeds of
$25,250.
As of January 31, 2011, 9,050,000 shares are issued and outstanding.
4. INCOME TAXES
As of January 31, 2011, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of
approximately $22,143 that may be available to reduce future years' taxable
income through 2029. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these
losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their
realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has
recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax
loss carry-forwards.

events or circumstances after the date of such statement or to reflect the
occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATION
GENERAL
VERVE VENTURES INC. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on
September 25 2008. Our registration statement was filed as Effective with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on March 9, 2011.
Please note that throughout this Quarterly Report, and unless otherwise noted,
the words "we," "our," "us," the "Company," refers to VERVE VENTURES INC.
CURRENT BUSINESS OPERATIONS
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we have not started operations. The
Company is in the development stage as defined under Statement on Financial
Accounting Standards No. 7, Development Stage Enterprises ("SFAS No.7") (ASC
915-10). As of January 31, 2011 we have no revenues, have minimal assets and
have incurred losses since inception.
The Company intends to provide waste removal and disposal services to corporate
and individual clients in the United Kingdom. Our services will be focused on a
client base that is willing to pay a premium to assure both social and
environmental concerns are addressed in all aspects of waste collection and
disposal. We intend to operate a fleet of vehicles and a sorting/storage
facilities both of which will begin small and scalable.
The Company has not generated any revenue to date and consequently its
operations are subject to all risks inherent in the establishment of a new
business enterprise. For the period from inception, February 23, 2010 through
January 31, 2011 the Company has accumulated losses of $22,543.
11
RESULTS OF OPERATION
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.
THE THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED JANUARY 31, 2011 AND THE PERIOD FROM INCEPTION
(FEBRUARY 23, 2010) TO JANUARY 31, 2011.
Our net loss for the three-months ended January 31, 2011 was approximately
($20,571). During the three-months ended January 31, 2011 and 2009, we did not
generate any revenue. Net loss during the period from inception (February 23,
2010) to January 31, 2011 was ($22,543).
During the three-months ended January 31, 2011, we incurred general and
administrative, consulting, and professional expenses of approximately $20,571.
General and administrative expenses incurred during the three-month period ended
January 31, 2011 and 2010 were generally related to corporate overhead,
financial and administrative contracted services, such as legal and accounting
and developmental costs. During the period from inception (February 23, 2010) to
January 31, 2011, we incurred general and administrative, consulting, and
professional expenses of approximately $22,543.
Our net loss during the three-months ended January 31, 2011 was ($20,571) or
($0.00) per share. The weighted average number of shares outstanding was
9,050,000 for the three-month period ended January 31, 2011.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED JANUARY 31, 2011
As at the three-months ended January 31, 2011, our current assets were $4,482
and our total liabilities were $1,775, which resulted in a working capital of
$2,707As at the three-months ended January 31, 2011, current assets were
comprised of $4,482 in cash compared to $24,653 in current assets at fiscal year
ended August October 31, 2010. As at the three-months ended January 31, 2011,
current liabilities were comprised of $1,375 advances from director compared to
$1,375 at fiscal year ended August 31, 2010. Accrued expenses increased by $400
from $0 during the three months ended January 31, 2011.
Stockholders' equity decreased from $23,278 as of October 31, 2010 to $2,707 as
of January 31, 2011.
CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES
We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. For the
three-month period ended January 31, 2011, net cash flows used in operating
activities was ($20,171) consisting primarily of a net loss of ($20,571). Net
cash flows used in operating activities was $22,143 for the period from
inception (February 23, 2010) to January 31, 2011.
12
CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES
We have financed our operations primarily from either advances from directors or
the issuance of equity and debt instruments. For the three-months ended January
31, 2011, we generated $0 net cash from financing activities. For the period
from inception (February 23, 2010) to January 31, 2011, net cash provided by
financing activities was $26,625 received from sale of common stock and advances
from Director.
PLAN OF OPERATION AND FUNDING
We expect that working capital requirements will continue to be funded through a
combination of our existing funds and further issuances of securities. Our
working capital requirements are expected to increase in line with the growth of
our business.
Existing working capital, further advances, equity and debt instruments, and
anticipated cash flow are expected to be adequate to fund our operations over
the next three months. We have no lines of credit or other bank financing
arrangements. Generally, we have financed operations to date through the
proceeds of the private placement of equity and debt instruments. In connection
with our business plan, management anticipates additional increases in operating
expenses and capital expenditures relating to: (i) acquisition of inventory;
(ii) developmental expenses associated with a start-up business; and (iii)
marketing expenses. We intend to finance these expenses with further issuances
of securities and debt issuances. Thereafter, we expect we will need to raise
additional capital and generate revenues to meet long-term operating
requirements. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will
result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, such securities might
have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional
financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate
funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be
able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities,
which could significantly and materially restrict our business operations.
MATERIAL COMMITMENTS
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we have a material commitment. During
the period from inception (February 23, 2010) to January 31, 2011, Leslie
Clitheroe, our Chief Executive Officer and a director, advanced us $1,375. The
advances are non-interest bearing and payable upon demand.
PURCHASE OF SIGNIFICANT EQUIPMENT
We do not intend to purchase any significant equipment during the next twelve
months.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we do not have any 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 are material to investors.
13
GOING CONCERN
The independent auditors' report accompanying our October 31, 2010 financial
statements contained an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have been
prepared "assuming that we will continue as a going concern," which contemplates
that we will realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities and commitments in
the ordinary course of business.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position,
results of operations or cash flows due to adverse change in foreign currency
and interest rates.
EXCHANGE RATE
Our reporting currency is United States Dollars ("USD").
INTEREST RATE
Any future loans will relate mainly to trade payables and will be mainly
short-term. However our debt may be likely to rise in connection with expansion
and if interest rates were to rise at the same time, this could become a
significant impact on our operating and financing activities. We have not
entered into derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks of for
speculative purposes.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to
be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods
specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and
procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports
that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated
to the issuer's management, including its principal executive officer or
officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing
similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
An evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of
our management of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31, 2011. Based on that
evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
