Notes to Financial Statements
1
.. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS,
HISTORY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES
Description of business and
history – Bibb Corporation, a Nevada corporation, (hereinafter referred
to as the “Company” or “Bibb Corp.”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on
July 22, 2002. The company plans to be in the business of multi-media
publishing and marketing. The Company operations have been limited to
general administrative operations and is considered a development stage company
in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
7.
Management of Company
– The company filed its articles of incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of
State on July 22, 2002, indicating Dean Patel as the incorporator.
The
company filed its annual list of officers and directors with the Nevada
Secretary of State on September 10 2002 indicating its President, Secretary,
Treasurer and Director is Judson Bibb. He remains in those positions as of this
filing.
Going concern – The
Company incurred net losses of approximately $30,425 from the period of July 22,
2002 (Date of Inception) through June 30, 2008 and has not commenced its
operations, however, it is still in the development stages, raising substantial
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The
Company may seek additional sources of capital through the issuance of debt or
equity financing, but there can be no assurance the Company will be successful
in accomplishing its objectives.
The
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on additional
sources of capital and the success of the Company’s plan. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if
the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Year end – The
Company’s year end is December 31.
Income taxes – The
Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets
and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between
the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to
apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in
the period that includes the enactment date.
Management
believes the Company will have a net operating loss carryover to be used for
future years. Such losses may not be fully deductible due to the
significant amounts of non-cash service costs. The Company has
established a valuation allowance for the full tax benefit of the operating loss
carryovers due to the uncertainty regarding realization.
Current
tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable
income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the
amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited.
Net loss per common
share – The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with SFAS
No. 128, Earnings per Share (SFAS 128) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98
(SAB 98). Under the provisions of SFAS 128 and SAB 98, basic net loss
per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders
for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net loss
per share gives effect to common stock equivalents; however, potential common
shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. For the period
from July 22, 2002 (Date of Inception) through June 30, 2008, no options and
warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share
because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
Concentration of risk
– A significant amount of the Company’s assets and resources are dependent on
the financial support (inclusive of free rent) of Judson Bibb. Should
he determine to no longer finance the operations of the company, it may be
unlikely for the company to continue.
Revenue recognition –
The Company has no revenues to date from its operations
1a. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES (continued)
Advertising costs
–The Company has recorded no advertising costs for the period from January 1,
2006
through
June 30, 2008.
Legal Procedures –
The Company is not aware of, nor is it involved in any pending legal
proceedings.

Notes to Financial Statements
2. PROPERTY AND
EQUIPMENT
As of
June 30, 2008, the Company does not own any property and/or
equipment.
The
Company has 3,340,000 shares authorized and 3,340,000 issued and
outstanding as of March 31, 2008.
The
issued and outstanding shares were issued as follows:
100,000
common shares were issued to Judson Bibb on August 19, 2002 for the sum of
$100 in cash.
215,000
common shares were issued to Judson Bibb on September 5, 2002 for the sum
of $215 in cash.
25,000
common shares were issued to Judson Bibb on October 31, 2002 for the sum of
$25 in cash.
2,000,000
common shares were issued to Judson Bibb on December 20, 2002 for the sum of
$6,000 in cash.
On
December 31, 2007, we completed an initial offering of 1,000,000 shares of
common stock at a per share price of $.03. Net proceeds from the offering were
$30,000.
Cash at
the end of the December totaled only $29, 264. A mistake by the issuing bank
regarding the available funds of a subscriber’s check delayed the receipt of
$900 which was compounded by a $5.00 bank fee. The mistake was
rectified and the funds were transferred from escrow into the company operating
account on February 4, 2008 raising our total liabilities and equity to
$30,169.
As of
June 30, 2008, a total of 3,340,000 shares have been issued to 26 shareholders
-- 2,340,000 to our existing stockholder, who is our sole officer and director
and 1,000,000 to friends and family. The shares are restricted securities, as
that term is defined in Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations of the SEC
promulgated under the Act. Under Rule 144, such shares can be publicly sold,
subject to volume restrictions and certain restrictions on the manner of sale,
commencing one year after their acquisition.
As of
June 30, 2008, our total liabilities and equity were $22,320.
|
4. RELATED PARTY
TRANSACTIONS
|
The
Company currently uses the home of Judson Bibb , an officer and
director of the Company, on a rent-free basis for administrative purposes and in
the future will use it for storage purposes as well. There is no written
lease agreement or other material terms or arrangements relating to said
arrangement.
|
In
2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, Judson Bibb made loans to the Company totaling
$6,439, $4,791, $4,950 and $225 respectively. As of June 30,
2008, his total contributions equal
$22,745.
|
5. STOCK
OPTIONS
As of
June 30, 2008, the Company does not have any stock options outstanding, nor does
it have any written or verbal agreements for the issuance or distribution of
stock options at any point in the future.
As of
June 30, 2008, the Company is not aware of any current or pending litigation
which may affect the Company’s operations.
You
should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of
operations in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes. The
following discussion and other parts of this report contain forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ
materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements due to
various factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under "Certain Factors That May Affect Our
Future Operating Results" and elsewhere in this report.
We began
our development stage in July 2002. Since inception we have focused primarily on
research and development activities, organizing our company, finding and
negotiating with vendors, raising capital and laying the groundwork to take the
company public. Until the closing of our current offering, development expenses
were funded by our founder, Judson Bibb.
Our
planned principal operations of producing and marketing fully integrated
multi-media products have not commenced and, accordingly, we have not derived
any revenue from these operations. In fact, we have incurred only losses and we
expect to continue to incur losses for, at least, the next year as we create our
products.
We have
an accumulated deficit of $30,425 since inception. We have not generated any
revenues to date; and we have been issued a "substantial doubt" going concern
opinion from our auditors.
Until
recently our only assets were the cash contributed by the founder. Thanks to the
year-end closing of a $30,000 offering, our total liabilities and equity now
total $22,320. As the funds were transferred from escrow into the company
operating account in February 2008, we now have the funds to begin product
development.
Research
and writing of the scripts is underway, that will be followed by development of
our videos, printing the manual, publishing our website and creating our initial
television commercial.
Therefore,
a comparison of our financial information for accounting periods would likely
not be meaningful or helpful in making an investment decision regarding our
company.
OVERVIEW
Bibb
Corporation was founded on the belief that we have a new way for the millions of
marginally literate people to acquire and comprehend the complex information
required to interact with government, businesses and the law. With the result
that not being comfortable reading and understanding text no longer dooms one to
dependence on others or withdrawal from legal and business intercourse. Our goal
is to assist customers who want and need information that is easy to find, easy
to use and easy to understand.
We intend
to develop our business as an "information retailer", providing information in a
simple, easy-to-use manner through multi-media applications. Our concept is
intended to blur the lines between a number of business applications: publisher,
video producer and Internet content provider.
Each of
our products will be fully integrated combinations of video, audio and print
supplemented by Internet information. Our information products are intended to
be a solution in which one medium will complement and support the information
provided by the other.
In a
nutshell, we’ll offer a simple manual then support it with how-to videos that
show and tell how to apply the information step-by-step and support it a second
way with a website for updated information and answers to
questions.
The video
enhances the manual and provides a further level of comfort to the buyers. They
feel more secure knowing they will be able to use and understand the manual as
well as be able to accomplish what they need to do.
The
website delivers added value. The website provides updated information that's
been uncovered or released since the manual was printed as well as form letters
to copy and paste or adapt. Customers can also review questions others have
asked and read the answers to them or ask new questions.
As the
video will rely on voice over to deliver the audio portion of the content,
foreign language versions will be easy to do. We just strip off the old voice
track and lay in a new one then replace the graphics and titles.
We do not
intend to change our business activities or combine with or acquire any other
company now or in the foreseeable future. If we are unable to complete our
business plans and become profitable, we may decide that we cannot continue with
our business operations as outlined in our original business plan because of a
lack of financial resources and may be forced to seek other potential business
opportunities that might be available; however, we have no plans or intentions
to do so at this time or at any time in the future.
STRATEGY
One of
the five best selling direct response television ads in recent years has been
the Video Professor series which teaches computer use by video or interactive
CD. It is a shining example of successfully selling information via direct
response television.
We intend
to follow the same course by using direct response television commercials to
market our products. Selling prices will range between $19.95 and $24.95. As is
the industry norm, we will initially run our direct response commercials in a
few local markets. By testing different price points, offers and premiums, we
will determine which combination works best and then continue to roll out the
commercials in other markets. If the product sales are successful, we intend to
follow with Spanish versions.
Our
initial goal will be to establish our ‘brand name’ as a trusted source of
reliable, simple and effective information products. We feel direct response
television commercials will be an immediate way for us to establish credibility
and brand awareness, as well as generate sales.
As game
and other visual entertainment sites are popular with the marginally literate,
once our brand has been established, sales commence and revenues are generated,
we intend to set up a commission sales program for webmasters to increase web
sales and drive consumers to our website.
Each
medium (print, video and web) will cross promote the entire line of products.
The non-password protected section of our website will promote and offer our
products for sale online. Each person entering the password protected
section will be required to register and establish a password, creating a
database for future marketing efforts.
In
addition to marketing our products through television and our website, we intend
to contact booksellers, video stores and other retailers to negotiate possible
inclusion of our products in their offerings. As retail sales for direct
response products currently run 10 to 1, (for every television sale, another 10
will be sold at the retail level) our television sales figures will provide
significant leverage.
Once we
have placement in store shelves, we intend to release other titles that don’t
push the traditional direct response emotional hot buttons such as: filing
taxes, buying or leasing a car, dealing with Medicare or an insurance company,
going to small claims court, etc.
RECENT
EVENTS
On
December 31, 2007, we completed an initial offering of 1,000,000 shares of
common stock at a per share price of $.03. Net proceeds from the offering were
$30,000.
Cash at
the end of the December totaled only $29, 264. A mistake by the issuing bank
regarding the available funds of a subscriber’s check delayed the receipt of
$900 which was compounded by a $5.00 bank fee. The mistake was
rectified and the funds were transferred from escrow into the company operating
account on February 4, 2008 raising our total liabilities and equity to
$30,169.
As of
February 29, 2008, a total of 3,340,000 shares have been issued to 26
shareholders -- 2,340,000 to our existing stockholder, who is our sole officer
and director and 1,000,000 to friends and family. The shares are restricted
securities, as that term is defined in Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations of
the SEC promulgated under the Act. Under Rule 144, such shares can be publicly
sold, subject to volume restrictions and certain restrictions on the manner of
sale, commencing one year after their acquisition.
Finally,
as a result of the transfer of funds to the operating account, we have begun
product development.
TRENDS
Because
of the increasing foreclosures, tightening credit and a possible recession,
trends are very positive for the company.
The
number of foreclosures soared in 2007, with 405,000 households losing their
home. That's up 51 percent from the 268,532 homes that were repossessed in 2006.
And since August 2007, foreclosure filings have averaged well over 200,000 homes
per month.
Total
foreclosure filings soared 97% in December alone compared with December of
2006. For the year, total filings - which include default notices,
auction sale notices and bank repossessions - grew 75%.
Homeowners
who are falling behind on their payments - rose to the highest levels in 23
years in the last three months of 2007. Statistics showed 3.62
percent of mortgages were seriously delinquent nationwide in the fourth quarter
last year, up from the year-earlier level of 2.95 percent. More than 1 percent
of all U.S. households were in some stage of foreclosure during 2007, up from
0.58 percent the year before. Add the home loans that were past due
and the figure reaches nearly 7.9 percent.
The pace
of foreclosures is expected to remain high this year as loans continue to reset
to higher payments that many borrowers will be unable to afford. But
with home prices falling, many owe more than their house is worth, eliminating
the option of conventional refinancing and raising the risk of
foreclosure.
Average
house prices fell by 9% in 2007 and the pace of decline is
accelerating. Falling home prices add to the squeeze on borrowers,
many of whom are seeing the value of their home dropping below the amount they
owe.
8.8
million mortgage-holders, 17% of the total, have home loans that are greater
than the value of the house. If house prices fall by another 10%, almost 14
million mortgages will be upside down in a year's time. And the number of
foreclosures should rise accordingly.
The
rising volume of calls fielded by the industry alliance sponsored Hope Now means
that some homeowners may not be getting the in-depth counseling they need to
consider all of their options. Lenders report that some borrowers in trouble
have ignored letters and phone calls intended to initiate a discussion about new
mortgage terms.
While
part of that may be due to borrowers being unable to admit defeat or deal with
bad news, a significant part (up to 45%) could be due to marginal reading
skills
There is
the stigma of not being able to read well. People with poor literacy skills
often are ashamed of their problem
..Their market interactions are driven by the need to preserve self-esteem and
dignity. Thus, when facing foreclosure, many financially strapped homeowners
don't respond to calls or letters from their lenders. An overwhelming majority
of respondents in a Freddie Mac survey said they didn't call the company
servicing their loan because they didn't think they had any options that could
help them avoid losing their home.
In
reality, the 45% figure could be low. A major literacy gap occurs along racial
lines. White adults scored 50 points higher on prose proficiency on the National
Adult Literacy Survey than did black adults (287 vs. 237). In turn, black adults
scored 21 points higher than Hispanic respondents (237 vs. 216).
In
general, those most in danger of facing foreclosure are the subprime borrowers.
According to the New York Times, subprime lending occurs at a higher rate in the
black and Hispanic communities.
Among
subprime borrowers with similar credit ratings, blacks and Hispanics were 30
percent more likely than whites to be charged the highest interest and thus are
likely to be in greater danger of foreclosure.
While
risk and credit scores may be a primary factor, lower-income
households also are charged higher prices because their low general and
financial literacy levels make effective product searches difficult and expose
them to seller abuse. Low incomes are highly, and increasingly, correlated with
low education levels, and these low levels are closely associated with low
general and financial literacy levels.
Consumers
who have difficulty reading are unlikely to understand the fine legal print in
ads and contracts. Those with limited mathematical skills often do not
understand percentages that express the key cost and yield indicators,
respectively, for credit and savings products. For example, research shows that
only about three-fifths of consumers understand and use the most important index
of credit costs, the annual percentage rate or APR, and that non-users tend to
have low incomes and education levels.
Lower-income
households with low literacy levels are especially vulnerable to seller abuse.
Consumers who do not understand percentages may well find it impossible to
understand the costs of mortgage, home equity, installment, credit card, payday,
and other high-cost loans. Equally, the many disclosures required by mortgage
transactions are often misunderstood by those with limited financial literacy,
and obfuscated by brokers and lenders who have either failed to explain key loan
terms and disclosures to borrowers or have actively misrepresented or concealed
these terms.. Individuals who do not read well may find it difficult
to check whether the oral promises of salespersons were written into contracts.
And, those who do not write fluently are limited in their ability to resolve
problems by writing to merchants or complaint agencies.
Since the
costs of foreclosure can eat up 25% or more of the value of a loan, the losses
could be enormous if a large fraction of these borrowers walk away which also
put pressure on the economy and help push the country into a
recession.
And if
the economy worsens, and more people lose their jobs, that could increase the
number of families at risk of losing their homes and increase the need for
credit repair.
The
reason: tighter lending standards make cash harder to come by. And as the credit squeeze
has made it more difficult to obtain property-based lines of credit, American
consumers are turning to their credit cards as an alternative.
In 2007,
consumer borrowing increased by an annual rate of 3.3 percent. This year it’s
expected to be even more. A Center for American Progress report found that
credit card debt is currently rising at a rate four times higher than earlier in
the decade. Approximately a third of all households have credit card
debt over $10,000. Currently, credit card debt on average equals just under 9.3
percent of cardholder's disposable income.
As the
economy slows, they're losing jobs and overtime hours and trying to supplement
their lower incomes with more spending on credit cards. At the same
time, consumers are increasingly finding themselves forced to deal with higher
interest rates and other fees as credit card companies respond to the fact that
consumer debt is climbing, along with delinquency rates.
From
April 2007 to January, the average number of credit and fixed payment accounts
per individual that are overdue by one payment or more climbed to 1.01 from
0.97. The bottom line: many are going to need help with credit
repair.
During
the past year, credit card debt has ballooned rapidly in parts of the nation
where the economy is particularly weak, Bank of America executives said credit
card delinquencies in California, Florida, Arizona, and Nevada—states with high
foreclosure rates—increased five times as fast as in other states, suggesting
that consumers struggling with their mortgage debt are also finding their credit
card bills hard to pay
It’s is
in these states where Bibb Corporation will do the initial testing of its
commercials.
The
trends referenced above reflect conditions at the end of March 2008. The Federal
Reserve and the US Government in general are doing everything they can to
prevent the country from sliding into a recession and stem the pace of
foreclosures and bankruptcies. Whether or how soon they are successful cannot be
determined.
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
As the
company is still in the development stage, no products have been produced yet.
As a consequence, there were no revenues.
EXPENSES
General
and Administrative.
General
and administrative expenses consist primarily of legal, accounting and other
professional service fees. General and administrative expenses increased to
$8,074 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
INCOME
TAXES
During
the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded a loss from continuing
operations of $8,074. Adding that to the previous losses that have been carried
forward, gives the company a total loss carry forward of $30,425. As the company
expects losses for the rest of the year, the tax benefit will probably be used
for 2009.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On
December 31st 2007,
we successfully completed the offering of 1,000,000 shares, raising $30,000 in
the process. The $30,000 was transferred to the company operating account on
February 4, 2008.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2008, the company had a net cash outflow of
$8,074. The majority of the costs were for professional fees and bank
charges.
We have
an accumulated deficit since inception of $30,425 and our auditors have
expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern
unless we are able to generate revenues.
We are
relying primarily on the monies raised in the offering to pursue the
development, setup and marketing of our products and there is no guarantee we
will be successful in completing our proposed business plans.
Management
believes the Company’s funds are sufficient to provide for its short term
projected needs for operations. However, the Company may decide to sell
additional equity or increase its borrowings in order to fund increased product
development or for other purposes.
We have
never had any discussions with any possible acquisition candidate, nor have we
any intention of doing so.
We do not
expect to purchase any real estate and do not own any to sell.
We have
no off-sheet balance arrangements or obligations or other interests that could
affect finances or operations.

ITEM
3: QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
As sales
have not begun yet, Bibb Corporation has no customer credit risk. We had no debt
outstanding and no derivative instruments at June 30, 2008
We do not
currently have any market risk sensitive instruments held for trading purposes
or otherwise, therefore, we do not have exposure to interest rate risk, foreign
currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk, and other relevant market
risks.
ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES
OBJECTIVES:
Management
is responsible for planning and performing internal audits of the company. Our
objectives are to improve processes and controls.
Our
specific areas of focus include:
·
|
The
effectiveness of internal control processes and
systems.

LIMITATIONS
ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS:
The
Company's management does not expect that its Disclosure Controls or its
'internal controls and procedures for financial reporting' ("Internal Controls")
will prevent all error and all fraud. Control system, no matter how well
conceived and managed, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives
of the control system are met. The design of a control system must reflect the
fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be
considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all
control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that
all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been
detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in
decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple
error or mistake.
Additionally,
controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by
collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The
design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions
about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any
design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future
conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control
system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be
detected.
CONCLUSIONS:
Based
upon the Controls Evaluation, the President has concluded that, subject to the
limitations noted above, the Disclosure Controls are effective to timely alert
management to material information relating to the Company during the period
when its periodic reports are being prepared.
In
accordance with SEC requirements, the President notes that, since the date of
the Controls Evaluation to the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no
significant changes in Internal Controls or in other factors that could
significantly affect Internal Controls, including any corrective actions with
regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
Within
the 90 days prior to the filing date of this report, the Company carried out an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure
controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. This evaluation
was done under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's
principal executive officer (who is also the principal financial officer). Based
upon that evaluation, he believes that the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures are effective in gathering, analyzing and disclosing information
needed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in
its periodic reports is recorded, summarized and processed timely. The principal
executive officer is directly involved in the day-to-day operations of the
Company.
