Organizational Overview
Together with our wholly owned crew management subsidiaries, we are a crewing
and crew management company responsible for sourcing, recruitment, selection,
deployment, scheduling, training, and on-going management of seafarers. Our
services also include administrative functions related to crew management

personnel can collaborate with many different cultures in many different time
zones with ever rising complexities, presenting a uniform service level to our

able to serve our principals with high quality standards, helping

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. Those material accounting estimates that we believe are the most critical to an investor's understanding of our financial results and condition are discussed immediately below and are particularly important to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by our management to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates.

Accounting Basis

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, certificates of deposit and other highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The office equipment is depreciated over three years.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired are initially recognized at their fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. These assets are being amortized over their useful life of five years.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
8
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606 upon the transfer
of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration
to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or
services. Revenue recognized from contracts with customers is disclosed
separately from other sources of revenue. ASC 606 includes guidance on when
revenue should be recognized on a Gross (Principal) or
Most of the Company's revenues are recognized primarily under long-term contracts, including those for which revenues are based on either a fixed price, or cost-plus-fee basis, and primarily as performance obligations are satisfied. Professional services and other ancillary services are delivered, generally on a monthly basis and are separate and distinct deliverables. The Company's performance obligation is generally satisfied on a monthly basis when its agency and related services are delivered.
The Company has the performance obligation to provide a crew for its customers, the shipping companies, and their ship managers. The Company utilizes its proprietary crew management platform to deliver crew management services to the ship owners. This crew management service is a monthly obligation that starts with the first stage of recruitment, to their transfer of crew to the vessel and continues to monitor the crew during the course of the contract until they disembark.
Revenue from crew manning services, agency fees and recruiting fees where
Stock-Based Compensation
The measurement and recognition of stock-based compensation expense is based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options and for non-employee equity transactions as per ASC 718 rules.
For transactions in which we obtain certain services of employees, directors, and consultants in exchange for an award of equity instruments, we measure the cost of the services based on the grant date fair value of the award. We recognize the cost over the vesting period.
Basic Income/(Loss) Per Share
Basic income per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net income/(loss)
applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common
shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing
the Company's net income 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. There are no such
common stock equivalents outstanding as of

Plan of Operations
In order to meet business goals, we must (a) execute effectively our current business of crew management; and (b) continue to focus on new business development in order to acquire new agreements.
In order to raise sufficient funds to proceed with the implementation of our business plan, we may have to find alternative sources of funds, like a second public offering, a private placement of securities, or loans from third parties (such as banks or other institutional lenders). Equity financing could result in additional dilution of the existing shareholders. If we are unable to meet our needs for cash from either the money that we raise from private placements, or possible alternative sources, then we may be unable to continue to maintain, develop or expand our operations.

Cash Requirements
We require additional capital to implement our business development and fund our operations.
Since the crew management business started running, we have funded our operations primarily through equity financings and we expect that we will continue to fund our business through the equity and debt financing, either alone or through strategic alliances. Additional funding may not be available on favorable terms, if at all, which could harm our business plans, financial condition and operating results. We intend to continue to fund our business by way of equity or debt financing along with the revenues that can support the Company. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our company held by existing shareholders will be reduced and those shareholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities may contain certain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our common stock.
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 our stockholders.

The demand for our services depends on the demand for maritime shipping services which are subject to normal economic cycles affecting the general economy including the effect of increased inflation. Inflationary pressures may result to important increases to our operating costs that we may not be able to fully transfer to our clients thus affecting our profitability. Additionally, increase in operating costs of our clients may lead to delays in payments for our services and accumulation of bad debt, although we closely monitor their credit behavior to avoid such incidents. Additionally, significant deteriorations of economic conditions over a prolonged period could produce a material adverse effect on the demand for our services.
