INTRODUCTORY NOTE. CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION AND RISK FACTORS

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 about Mercari Communications Group, Ltd. (the “Company,” “Mercari,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) that are subject to risks and uncertainties.  Forward-looking statements include information concerning future financial performance, business strategy, projected plans and objectives.  Statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “may increase,” “may fluctuate” and similar expressions of future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” and “could” are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts.  Actual results may differ materially from those projected, implied, anticipated or expected in the forward-looking statements. Readers of this Quarterly Report should not rely solely on the forward-looking statements and should consider all uncertainties and risks throughout this report. The statements are representative only as of the date they are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement.

 

These forward-looking statements, implicitly and explicitly, include the assumptions underlying the statements and other information with respect to the Company’s beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, estimates, financial condition, results of operations, future performance and business, including management’s expectations and estimates with respect to revenues, expenses, return on equity, return on assets, asset quality and other financial data.

 

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements involve risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on various important factors, some of which are beyond the control of the Company. The following factors, among others, could cause the Company’s results or financial performance to differ materially from its goals, plans, objectives, intentions, expectations and other forward-looking statements:

 

·general economic and industry conditions;

 

·limited resources and need for additional financing;

 

·competition for suitable private companies with which to merge;

 

·no definitive agreements or business opportunities identified;

 

·substantial dilution to current shareholders if a merger occurs; and

 

·our stock is thinly traded with limited liquidity.

 

All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement, and the Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors, if any, will arise. In addition, the Company cannot assess the impact of each factor on the Company’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of accounting policies for Mercari Communications Group, Ltd. (the “Company”) is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Interim Reporting

 

The unaudited financial statements as of November 30, 2015 and for the six months then ended reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the financial position and results of operations for the six months. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results which can be expected for full years.

 

Nature of Operations and Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a “going concern”, which assume that the Company will continue in operation for at least one year and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.

 

Several conditions and events cast doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a “going concern.” The Company has incurred net losses of approximately $265,061 from inception to November 30, 2015, has no revenues and requires additional financing in order to finance its business activities on an ongoing basis. The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on numerous factors including, but not limited to, continued progress in finding a merger candidate and the pursuit of business opportunities. The Company is actively pursuing alternative financing and has had discussions with various third parties, although no firm commitments have been obtained. In the interim, shareholders of the Company have been contributing capital to the Company to meet its ordinary and normal operating expenses. Management believes that actions presently being taken to revise the Company’s operating and financial requirements provide them with the opportunity to continue as a “going concern”.

 

These financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a “going concern”. While management believes that the actions already taken or planned, will mitigate the adverse conditions and events which raise doubt about the validity of the “going concern” assumption used in preparing these financial statements, there can be no assurance that these actions will be successful. If the Company were unable to continue as a “going concern,” then substantial adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of assets, the reported amounts of its liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on December 30, 1987. From 1988 until early in 1990, the Company was engaged in the business of providing educational products, counseling, seminar programs, and publications such as newsletters to adults aged 30 to 50. The Company financed its business with private offerings of securities, obtaining shareholder loans, and with an underwritten initial public offering of securities registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company’s business failed in early 1990. The Company ceased all operating activities during the period from June 1, 1990 to November 30, 2001 and was considered dormant. During this period that the Company was dormant, it did not file required reports with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). From November 30, 2001 to March 1, 2004, the Company was in the development stage. On August 3, 2004, the shareholders of the Company approved a plan of quasi-reorganization which called for a restatement of accounts to eliminate the accumulated deficit and related capital accounts on the Company’s balance sheet. The quasi-reorganization was effective March 1, 2004. Since March 1, 2004, the Company is in the development stage, and has not commenced planned principal operations.

 

Nature of Business

 

The Company has no products or services as of November 30, 2015. The Company is seeking merger or acquisition candidates. The Company intends to acquire interests in various business opportunities, which in the opinion of management will provide a profit to the Company.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.

 

Pervasiveness of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles required 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.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC 740-10 & 740-30 (formerly SFAS No.109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”). ASC 740 requires recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences, based on enacted tax laws, of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities.

 

Loss per Share

 

Basic loss per share has been computed by dividing the loss for the period applicable to the common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the years. There are no outstanding common stock equivalents for November 30, 2015 and 2014 and are thus not considered.

MERCARI COMMUNICATIONS GROUP, LTD.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying value of cash and accrued expenses, if applicable, approximate their fair values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of debt were also estimated to approximate fair value.

 

The Company utilizes the methods of fair value measurement as described in ASC 820 to value its financial assets and liabilities. As defined in ASC 820, fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

 

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2014-15 on “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) – Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (the “Update”). Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in the Update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued).

 

The amendments in this Update are effective for public and nonpublic entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted.

 

The Company has reviewed all other recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements and have determined that these new accounting pronouncements are either not applicable or would not have a material impact on the results of operations or changes in the financial position.

NOTE 2 - COMMITMENTS

 

As of November 30, 2015 all activities of the Company are conducted on a rent free basis at the corporate offices of Algodon Wines & Luxury Development Group, Inc. or “AWLD”, the majority shareholder of the Company. Currently, there are no outstanding debts owed by the Company for the use of these facilities.

 

NOTE 3 - COMMON STOCK TRANSACTIONS

 

On August 3, 2004, the Company authorized a 900 to 1 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock. On May 29, 2008, the Company authorized a 3.5 to 1 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock. All references to the Company’s common stock in the financial statements have been restated to reflect the reverse stock splits.

 

On December 17, 2001, the Board of Directors approved the cancellation of 64,524 shares of common stock. During the year ended May 31, 2003, these shares were cancelled.

 

On December 17, 2001, the Board of Directors authorized the sale of 240,945 restricted common shares at par value to three directors of the Company. The directors paid $7,590 in cash consideration for those shares. During the year ended May 31, 2003, these shares were issued.

 

On January 19, 2007, the Company issued two promissory notes for $10,000 each to two nonaffiliated lenders. The notes were payable by the Company only at the time, and in the event, the Company became current in reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, as amended. At the time when the notes became payable, the Company agreed to issue and deliver to each of the two lenders 285,714 shares of the Company’s unregistered common stock. On March 9, 2007, the Company issued 571,428 shares of stock as payment for the notes payable.

 

On June 18, 2007, the Company sold 142,857 shares of its common stock to Kanouff, LLC (“KLLC”), a Colorado limited liability company, for $5,000 in cash, and sold 142,857 shares of its common stock to Underwood Family Partners, Ltd. (the “Partnership”), a Colorado limited partnership, for $5,000 in cash. John P. Kanouff, a former officer and director of the Company, is the sole owner and member of KLLC; and L. Michael Underwood, a former officer and director of the Company, is the general partner of the Partnership. The Company sold such shares to KLLC and the Partnership in order to obtain working capital. The Registrant relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as providing the exemption from registration under such Act for such transactions.

NOTE 3 - COMMON STOCK TRANSACTIONS (continued)

 

On November 27, 2007, the Company sold 214,286 shares of its common stock to Kanouff, LLC for $7,500 in cash and sold 214,286 shares of its common stock to Underwood Family Partners, Ltd. for $7,500 in cash. The Company sold such shares to KLLC and the Partnership in order to obtain working capital. The Registrant relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as providing the exemption from registration under such Act for such transactions.

 

In connection with the 3.5 to 1 reverse stock split approved on May 29, 2008, an additional 5,729 shares of common stock were issued due to rounding provisions included in the terms of the reverse stock split. On June 4, 2008, the Company cancelled 5,729 of its outstanding shares of common stock. These shares were surrendered for cancellation by the then majority shareholders of the Company in order to offset shares issued by the Company in rounding up transactions in connection with the 3.5 to 1 reverse stock split approved on May 29, 2008.

 

On November 9, 2009, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement described under Note 5, Mercari offered and sold 43,822,001 shares of its common stock to AWLD. The offer and sale by the Company of the common stock to AWLD was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof. The Company made this determination based on the representations of AWLD which included, in pertinent part, that AWLD was an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, that AWLD was acquiring the common stock for investment purposes for its own account and not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof, and that AWLD understood that the common stock may not be sold or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom.

 

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

There are no current related party transactions other than discussed in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2015 and other previous filings as filed with the SEC.

 

For the six months ended November 30, 2015, the Company received additional shareholder advances totaling $31,987 from AWLD, the Company’s parent, bringing the total advance balance to $105,987. This total advance carries no interest and is intended to be converted to equity in the future.

NOTE 5 – STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

On November 9, 2009, we entered into and closed the Stock Purchase Agreement with AWLD, KLLC, and the Partnership. Immediately prior to closing, KLLC and the Partnership were the majority shareholders of the Company, and the Stock Purchase resulted in a change in control of the Company. AWLD is headquartered in New York, NY, and is a virtually integrated company that creates, develops, markets, sells and manages private equity investment opportunities, formerly in the biotechnology industry and currently in non-leveraged global real estate assets located in Argentina. In connection with the Stock Purchase, AWLD purchased, and the Company sold, an aggregate of 43,822,001 shares of common stock for a purchase price of $43,822, or $0.001 per share. In addition, AWLD purchased 200 shares of common stock from KLLC and 200 shares of common stock from the Partnership for a purchase price of $180,000 payable to each selling shareholder, of which $105,000 was paid at closing and $75,000 was previously paid in connection with a letter of intent and related amendments. Immediately following the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement, there were 45,411,400 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Immediately following the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement, AWLD owned an aggregate of 43,822,401 shares of the Company’s common stock out of the total of 45,411,400 shares of common stock issued and outstanding at the closing, or approximately 96.5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares.

 

The Stock Purchase Agreement contained post-closing covenants whereby Mercari and AWLD agreed to utilize their commercially reasonable efforts to cause Mercari to (i) remain a Section 12(g) reporting company in compliance with and current in its reporting requirements under the Exchange Act; and (ii) cause all of the assets and business or equity interest of AWLD, its subsidiaries and affiliated companies to be transferred to Mercari and, in connection with such transactions, cause Mercari’s stock to be distributed by AWLD to AWLD’s stockholders and the holders of equity interests in the affiliated companies (“Reorganization Transaction”). In connection with and contemporaneously with the Reorganization Transaction, it is anticipated that Mercari and/or AWLD will seek to obtain at least $10 million in gross proceeds from a financing (the “Financing”). If the gross proceeds from the Financing exceed $15 million at the time of the last closing of such financing, Mercari will issue additional shares of common stock to AWLD at a purchase price of $.001 per share as follows: (i) 18,164,560 additional shares if the amount of the Financing is at least $15 million and less than $20 million; or (ii) 34,058,550 additional shares if the amount of the Financing is $20 million or more. After consummation of the Financing, Mercari will seek to register for resale all of the shares issued in the Financing and shares of common stock issued by Mercari from and after December 1, 2001 and prior to the date of the Stock Purchase Agreement. Mercari will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file the registration statement within 60 days after consummation of the Reorganization Transaction (“Filing Date”) and to have the registration statement become effective within 180 days after the Filing Date. If the SEC requires Mercari to reduce the number of shares included under such registration statement, any such reduction will first be made from the shares issued in the Financing. The post-closing obligations of AWLD and Mercari discussed herein are contingent upon AWLD’s good faith determination that, after taking commercially reasonable efforts, the transactions are feasible. Such determination shall take into account all relevant material factors, including without limitation, then-current economic, financial and market conditions.

 

Upon closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Mercari experienced a change in control and a change in all the members of the Board of Directors and executive officers.

 

NOTE 6 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company adopted ASC 855, and has evaluated all events occurring after November 30, 2015, the date of the most recent balance sheet, for possible adjustment to the financial statements or disclosures through January 14, 2016, which is the date on which the financial statements were issued.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

General

 

This discussion should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2015.

 

Results of Operations

 

The Company is a development stage business, which intends to acquire a United States or foreign based business which is privately owned and wishes to become a publicly owned business. The Company was inactive and did not file reports required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) from 1990 through 2000, and has not conducted any material business operations since 1990. The Company was reactivated in 2001 and is now current in its state and United States internal revenue filing obligations and the Company has filed all reports required to be filed by it with the SEC under the Exchange Act, during the past seven years. The Company is now actively seeking one or more acquisition candidates.

 

During each of the years since the Company was reactivated, the Company has had no revenue and has had losses approximately equal to the expenditures made to reactivate and meet filing and reporting obligations. We do not expect any revenue unless and until a business acquisition transaction is completed. Our expenses have been paid from capital contributions and advances from the directors of the Company.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company requires working capital principally to fund its current activities. There are no commitments from banks or other lending sources for lines of credit or similar short-term borrowing, but the Company has been able to obtain additional capital required from its officers, directors and principal shareholders or other related entities.

 

In order to complete any acquisition, the Company may be required to supplement its available cash and other liquid assets with proceeds from borrowings, the sale of additional securities, including the private placement of restricted stock and/or a public offering, or other sources. There can be no assurance that any such required additional funding will be available or favorable to the Company.

 

The Company’s business plan requires substantial funding from a public or private offering of its common stock in connection with a business acquisition, for which the Company has no commitments. The Company may actively pursue other financing or funding opportunities at such time as a business acquisition opportunity becomes available.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applies its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives.

Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date to provide assurance 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 rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nov. 30, 2015
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
This summary of accounting policies for Mercari Communications Group, Ltd. (the “Company”) is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
 
Interim Reporting
 
The unaudited financial statements as of November 30, 2015 and for the six months then ended reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the financial position and results of operations for the six months. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results which can be expected for full years.
 
Nature of Operations and Going Concern
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a “going concern”, which assume that the Company will continue in operation for at least one year and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.
 
Several conditions and events cast doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a “going concern.” The Company has incurred net losses of approximately $265,061 from inception to November 30, 2015, has no revenues and requires additional financing in order to finance its business activities on an ongoing basis. The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on numerous factors including, but not limited to, continued progress in finding a merger candidate and the pursuit of business opportunities. The Company is actively pursuing alternative financing and has had discussions with various third parties, although no firm commitments have been obtained. In the interim, shareholders of the Company have been contributing capital to the Company to meet its ordinary and normal operating expenses. Management believes that actions presently being taken to revise the Company’s operating and financial requirements provide them with the opportunity to continue as a “going concern”.
 
These financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a “going concern”. While management believes that the actions already taken or planned, will mitigate the adverse conditions and events which raise doubt about the validity of the “going concern” assumption used in preparing these financial statements, there can be no assurance that these actions will be successful. If the Company were unable to continue as a “going concern,” then substantial adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of assets, the reported amounts of its liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used.
 
Organization and Basis of Presentation
 
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on December 30, 1987. From 1988 until early in 1990, the Company was engaged in the business of providing educational products, counseling, seminar programs, and publications such as newsletters to adults aged 30 to 50. The Company financed its business with private offerings of securities, obtaining shareholder loans, and with an underwritten initial public offering of securities registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company’s business failed in early 1990. The Company ceased all operating activities during the period from June 1, 1990 to November 30, 2001 and was considered dormant. During this period that the Company was dormant, it did not file required reports with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). From November 30, 2001 to March 1, 2004, the Company was in the development stage. On August 3, 2004, the shareholders of the Company approved a plan of quasi-reorganization which called for a restatement of accounts to eliminate the accumulated deficit and related capital accounts on the Company’s balance sheet. The quasi-reorganization was effective March 1, 2004. Since March 1, 2004, the Company is in the development stage, and has not commenced planned principal operations.
 
Nature of Business
 
The Company has no products or services as of November 30, 2015. The Company is seeking merger or acquisition candidates. The Company intends to acquire interests in various business opportunities, which in the opinion of management will provide a profit to the Company.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.
 
Pervasiveness of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles required 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.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC 740-10 & 740-30 (formerly SFAS No.109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”). ASC 740 requires recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences, based on enacted tax laws, of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities.
 
Loss per Share
 
Basic loss per share has been computed by dividing the loss for the period applicable to the common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the years. There are no outstanding common stock equivalents for November 30, 2015 and 2014 and are thus not considered.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying value of cash and accrued expenses, if applicable, approximate their fair values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of debt were also estimated to approximate fair value.
 
The Company utilizes the methods of fair value measurement as described in ASC 820 to value its financial assets and liabilities. As defined in ASC 820, fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:
 
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
 
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.
 
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2014-15 on “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) – Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (the “Update”). Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in the Update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued).
 
The amendments in this Update are effective for public and nonpublic entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted.
 
The Company has reviewed all other recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements and have determined that these new accounting pronouncements are either not applicable or would not have a material impact on the results of operations or changes in the financial position.

COMMON STOCK TRANSACTIONS
NOTE 3 - COMMON STOCK TRANSACTIONS
 
On August 3, 2004, the Company authorized a 900 to 1 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock. On May 29, 2008, the Company authorized a 3.5 to 1 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock. All references to the Company’s common stock in the financial statements have been restated to reflect the reverse stock splits.
 
On December 17, 2001, the Board of Directors approved the cancellation of 64,524 shares of common stock. During the year ended May 31, 2003, these shares were cancelled.
 
On December 17, 2001, the Board of Directors authorized the sale of 240,945 restricted common shares at par value to three directors of the Company. The directors paid $7,590 in cash consideration for those shares. During the year ended May 31, 2003, these shares were issued.
 
On January 19, 2007, the Company issued two promissory notes for $10,000 each to two nonaffiliated lenders. The notes were payable by the Company only at the time, and in the event, the Company became current in reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, as amended. At the time when the notes became payable, the Company agreed to issue and deliver to each of the two lenders 285,714 shares of the Company’s unregistered common stock. On March 9, 2007, the Company issued 571,428 shares of stock as payment for the notes payable.
 
On June 18, 2007, the Company sold 142,857 shares of its common stock to Kanouff, LLC (“KLLC”), a Colorado limited liability company, for $5,000 in cash, and sold 142,857 shares of its common stock to Underwood Family Partners, Ltd. (the “Partnership”), a Colorado limited partnership, for $5,000 in cash. John P. Kanouff, a former officer and director of the Company, is the sole owner and member of KLLC; and L. Michael Underwood, a former officer and director of the Company, is the general partner of the Partnership. The Company sold such shares to KLLC and the Partnership in order to obtain working capital. The Registrant relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as providing the exemption from registration under such Act for such transactions.
 
On November 27, 2007, the Company sold 214,286 shares of its common stock to Kanouff, LLC for $7,500 in cash and sold 214,286 shares of its common stock to Underwood Family Partners, Ltd. for $7,500 in cash. The Company sold such shares to KLLC and the Partnership in order to obtain working capital. The Registrant relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as providing the exemption from registration under such Act for such transactions.
 
In connection with the 3.5 to 1 reverse stock split approved on May 29, 2008, an additional 5,729 shares of common stock were issued due to rounding provisions included in the terms of the reverse stock split. On June 4, 2008, the Company cancelled 5,729 of its outstanding shares of common stock. These shares were surrendered for cancellation by the then majority shareholders of the Company in order to offset shares issued by the Company in rounding up transactions in connection with the 3.5 to 1 reverse stock split approved on May 29, 2008.
 
On November 9, 2009, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement described under Note 5, Mercari offered and sold 43,822,001 shares of its common stock to AWLD. The offer and sale by the Company of the common stock to AWLD was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof. The Company made this determination based on the representations of AWLD which included, in pertinent part, that AWLD was an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, that AWLD was acquiring the common stock for investment purposes for its own account and not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof, and that AWLD understood that the common stock may not be sold or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom.

Stock Purchase Agreement [Abstract]  
STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
NOTE 5 – STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
 
On November 9, 2009, we entered into and closed the Stock Purchase Agreement with AWLD, KLLC, and the Partnership. Immediately prior to closing, KLLC and the Partnership were the majority shareholders of the Company, and the Stock Purchase resulted in a change in control of the Company. AWLD is headquartered in New York, NY, and is a virtually integrated company that creates, develops, markets, sells and manages private equity investment opportunities, formerly in the biotechnology industry and currently in non-leveraged global real estate assets located in Argentina. In connection with the Stock Purchase, AWLD purchased, and the Company sold, an aggregate of 43,822,001 shares of common stock for a purchase price of $43,822, or $0.001 per share. In addition, AWLD purchased 200 shares of common stock from KLLC and 200 shares of common stock from the Partnership for a purchase price of $180,000 payable to each selling shareholder, of which $105,000 was paid at closing and $75,000 was previously paid in connection with a letter of intent and related amendments. Immediately following the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement, there were 45,411,400 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Immediately following the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement, AWLD owned an aggregate of 43,822,401 shares of the Company’s common stock out of the total of 45,411,400 shares of common stock issued and outstanding at the closing, or approximately 96.5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares.
 
The Stock Purchase Agreement contained post-closing covenants whereby Mercari and AWLD agreed to utilize their commercially reasonable efforts to cause Mercari to (i) remain a Section 12(g) reporting company in compliance with and current in its reporting requirements under the Exchange Act; and (ii) cause all of the assets and business or equity interest of AWLD, its subsidiaries and affiliated companies to be transferred to Mercari and, in connection with such transactions, cause Mercari’s stock to be distributed by AWLD to AWLD’s stockholders and the holders of equity interests in the affiliated companies (“Reorganization Transaction”). In connection with and contemporaneously with the Reorganization Transaction, it is anticipated that Mercari and/or AWLD will seek to obtain at least $10 million in gross proceeds from a financing (the “Financing”). If the gross proceeds from the Financing exceed $15 million at the time of the last closing of such financing, Mercari will issue additional shares of common stock to AWLD at a purchase price of $.001 per share as follows: (i) 18,164,560 additional shares if the amount of the Financing is at least $15 million and less than $20 million; or (ii) 34,058,550 additional shares if the amount of the Financing is $20 million or more. After consummation of the Financing, Mercari will seek to register for resale all of the shares issued in the Financing and shares of common stock issued by Mercari from and after December 1, 2001 and prior to the date of the Stock Purchase Agreement. Mercari will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file the registration statement within 60 days after consummation of the Reorganization Transaction (“Filing Date”) and to have the registration statement become effective within 180 days after the Filing Date. If the SEC requires Mercari to reduce the number of shares included under such registration statement, any such reduction will first be made from the shares issued in the Financing. The post-closing obligations of AWLD and Mercari discussed herein are contingent upon AWLD’s good faith determination that, after taking commercially reasonable efforts, the transactions are feasible. Such determination shall take into account all relevant material factors, including without limitation, then-current economic, financial and market conditions.
 
Upon closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Mercari experienced a change in control and a change in all the members of the Board of Directors and executive officers.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Nature of Operations and Going Concern
Nature of Operations and Going Concern
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a “going concern”, which assume that the Company will continue in operation for at least one year and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.
 
Several conditions and events cast doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a “going concern.” The Company has incurred net losses of approximately $265,061 from inception to November 30, 2015, has no revenues and requires additional financing in order to finance its business activities on an ongoing basis. The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on numerous factors including, but not limited to, continued progress in finding a merger candidate and the pursuit of business opportunities. The Company is actively pursuing alternative financing and has had discussions with various third parties, although no firm commitments have been obtained. In the interim, shareholders of the Company have been contributing capital to the Company to meet its ordinary and normal operating expenses. Management believes that actions presently being taken to revise the Company’s operating and financial requirements provide them with the opportunity to continue as a “going concern”.
 
These financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a “going concern”. While management believes that the actions already taken or planned, will mitigate the adverse conditions and events which raise doubt about the validity of the “going concern” assumption used in preparing these financial statements, there can be no assurance that these actions will be successful. If the Company were unable to continue as a “going concern,” then substantial adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of assets, the reported amounts of its liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used.
Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization and Basis of Presentation
 
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on December 30, 1987. From 1988 until early in 1990, the Company was engaged in the business of providing educational products, counseling, seminar programs, and publications such as newsletters to adults aged 30 to 50. The Company financed its business with private offerings of securities, obtaining shareholder loans, and with an underwritten initial public offering of securities registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company’s business failed in early 1990. The Company ceased all operating activities during the period from June 1, 1990 to November 30, 2001 and was considered dormant. During this period that the Company was dormant, it did not file required reports with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). From November 30, 2001 to March 1, 2004, the Company was in the development stage. On August 3, 2004, the shareholders of the Company approved a plan of quasi-reorganization which called for a restatement of accounts to eliminate the accumulated deficit and related capital accounts on the Company’s balance sheet. The quasi-reorganization was effective March 1, 2004. Since March 1, 2004, the Company is in the development stage, and has not commenced planned principal operations.
Nature of Business
Nature of Business
 
The Company has no products or services as of November 30, 2015. The Company is seeking merger or acquisition candidates. The Company intends to acquire interests in various business opportunities, which in the opinion of management will provide a profit to the Company.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.
Pervasiveness of Estimates
Pervasiveness of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles required 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.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC 740-10 & 740-30 (formerly SFAS No.109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”). ASC 740 requires recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences, based on enacted tax laws, of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities.
 
Loss per Share
Loss per Share
 
Basic loss per share has been computed by dividing the loss for the period applicable to the common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the years. There are no outstanding common stock equivalents for November 30, 2015 and 2014 and are thus not considered.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying value of cash and accrued expenses, if applicable, approximate their fair values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of debt were also estimated to approximate fair value.
 
The Company utilizes the methods of fair value measurement as described in ASC 820 to value its financial assets and liabilities. As defined in ASC 820, fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below:
 
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
 
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.
 
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
New Accounting Pronouncements
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2014-15 on “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) – Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (the “Update”). Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in the Update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued).
 
The amendments in this Update are effective for public and nonpublic entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted.
 
The Company has reviewed all other recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements and have determined that these new accounting pronouncements are either not applicable or would not have a material impact on the results of operations or changes in the financial position.
