ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
OPERATIONS
Basta Holdings, Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 11, 2011 and intended to commence operations in the distribution of copper pipes and fittings for sanitary engineering. In January 2014, the Company’s majority shareholder sold 100% of her ownership representing 80.42% of the Company’s outstanding common shares to a third party in a private transaction. Coincidental with this change of ownership, the Company discontinued its previous business plan to distribute copper pipes and fittings for sanitary engineering and adopted a new business plan to provide aviation services to third parties. It is anticipated that these planned services shall include the provision of aviation support services to Aircraft Charter Solutions, Inc. (“ACS”), a company which provides aviation support services to AECOM Technology Corporation, a subcontractor for Dyncorp International Inc., which is a contractor for the U.S. government under the U.S. Army’s
Logistics Civil Augmentation Program
(“LOGCAP”) in Afghanistan. The Company shall be a subcontractor for ACS, providing ACMI (aircraft, crew, maintenance, insurance) as well as war risk insurance, operational management and dispatch coordination for flights, U.S. government regulation and compliance with government mandated MOD 11 level medical examinations, visas and communication support, and other management and logistic support.
The Company’s flight operations will include services such as the delivery of food, water, fuel, spare parts, personnel and other items to locations throughout Afghanistan. Additionally, the Company intends to provide similar services to IAL International Aviation Logistics Limited (“IAL”) for services rendered in Libya. As of April 30, 2014, the Company has not commenced these services and is currently negotiating these arrangements with ACS and IAL
The Company shall also provide management services to WAB International, Inc. (“WAB”), and promotion and marketing of services to Monarch Air Group, LLC. (“Monarch”) pursuant to two agreements outlined as follows:
Agreement with WAB
On January 31, 2014, and effective January 31, 2014, the Company entered into an Exclusive Agreement for Management related to two of WAB’s aviation services contracts. As consideration for this agreement, the Company originally agreed to amend its articles of incorporation to authorize the issuance of a number of Series A Preferred Shares to be determined at a later date and each such share was to entitle the holder to a certain number of votes. As the terms of this proposed agreement had not been finalized at January 31, 2014, the proposed issuance of the undetermined number of Series A Preferred Shares was not recorded in the Company’s financial statements at January 31, 2014. On March 12, 2014, prior to the amendment of the Company’s articles of incorporation and prior to the determination of the number of Series A preferred shares to be issued or the issuance of any such shares, the Company amended the agreement while maintaining the same effective date. The amended agreement calls for the Company to provide management services which includes vendor and financial management under two of WAB’s contracts. The amendment provides that the Company will be paid ten percent (10%) of the gross revenues from the two contracts and eliminated the Company’s obligation to issue to any Series A Preferred Shares to WAB.
WAB provides airlift support, dedicated helicopters and rotary and fixed wing aircraft to international clientele. WAB services include cargo and passenger transportation, logging, mining support, offshore drilling support, relief efforts, firefighting and search-and-rescue.
As of April 30, 2014, the Company had not commenced any activities pursuant to Exclusive Agreement for Management. Management is in the process of developing plans and anticipates launching said services before the end of the quarter ending July 31, 2014.
Agreement with Monarch
Effective January 31, 2014, the Company entered into an Exclusive Agreement for the Promotion and Marketing of Services of Monarch Air Group, LLC. (“Monarch”). Upon execution of this agreement, the Company received a one-time fee of $5,000 which has been reflected in revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2014, and Monarch agreed to pay us 10% of gross sales generated from our services. As of April 30, 2014, the Company received an advance payment of $13,000 related to such contract which has been reflected as deferred revenue on the accompanying balance sheet.
Monarch is a Florida limited liability company which is in the business of providing aircraft, crew maintenance and insurance leases for rotary and fixed wing aircraft as well as chartering on-demand private, corporate and luxury flights.
As of April 30, 2014, the Company had not commenced any activities pursuant to the Exclusive Agreement for the Promotion and Marketing of Services. Management is in the process of developing plans and anticipates launching said services before the end of the quarter ending July 31, 2014.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
Management acknowledges its responsibility for the preparation of the accompanying interim financial statements which reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary in its opinion for a fair statement of its financial position and the results of its operations for the interim period presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and notes to financial statements included in the Company’s filing of Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying unaudited financial statements for Basta Holdings, Corp. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (the “U.S.”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole.
Development stage company
The Company has previously been considered in the development stage as defined under the then current Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915-205 “Development-Stage Entities” and among the additional disclosures required as a development stage company were that our financial statements were identified as those of a development stage company, and that the statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows disclosed activity since the date of our Inception (May 11, 2011) as a development stage company. Effective June 10, 2014 FASB changed its regulations with respect to Development Stage Entities and these additional disclosures are no longer required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 with the option for entities to early adopt these new provisions. The Company has elected to early adopt these provisions and consequently these additional disclosures are not included in these financial statements.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America 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 periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company adopted the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 for fair value measurements which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
*
|
Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
|
*
|
Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
|
*
|
Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
|
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, prepaid expenses, loan payable – related party, accounts payable, accrued expenses, advances payable and deferred revenue approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The Company did not have any non-financial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013.
ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments”, allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding instruments.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (
continued
)
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.
Accounts receivable
The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries. The allowance is based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current receivables aging, and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.
Impairment of long-lived assets
In accordance with ASC Topic 360, the Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. The Company did not record any impairment charges for the three and six months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, products are fully delivered or services have been provided, the purchase price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Revenue from helicopter services on an “ad hoc” basis, which usually entails a short contract notice period and duration, is recognized as the related services are performed and is based on a monthly fixed fee plus additional fees for each hour flown.
Income taxes
The Company is governed by the income tax laws of the United States of America. The Company accounts for income tax using the liability method prescribed by ASC 740, “
Income Taxes
”. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company applies the provisions of ASC 740-10-50, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, which provides clarification related to the process associated with accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized in our consolidated financial statements. Audit periods remain open for review until the statute of limitations has passed. The completion of review or the expiration of the statute of limitations for a given audit period could result in an adjustment to the Company’s liability for income taxes. Any such adjustment could be material to the Company’s results of operations for any given quarterly or annual period based, in part, upon the results of operations for the given period. As of April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013, the Company had no uncertain tax positions, and will continue to evaluate for uncertain positions in the future.

Advertising
Advertising is expensed as incurred and is included in selling expenses on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of income. The Company did not incur advertising expenses during the three and six months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013.
Stock-based compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment Topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.
Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date.” The expense is recognized over the service period of the award. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. The Company initially records compensation expense based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date. The Company issued no stock based compensation during the three and six months ended April 30, 2014 or 2013.
Net loss per share of common stock
The Company computes loss per share in accordance with “ASC-260”, “
Earnings per Share
” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. During the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2014 and 2013, no potentially dilutive debt or equity securities were issued or outstanding.
Related party transactions
A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities including such person’s immediate families, (ii) the Company’s management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.
Recent accounting pronouncements
Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption other than in respect of the early adoption of the new regulations relating to Development Stage Entities as discussed above.
NOTE 3 -
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Loan payable - related party
Since Inception (May 11, 2012) through January 31, 2014, the Company’s former controlling shareholder had loaned the Company $14,383 to pay for incorporation costs and operating expenses. As of October 31, 2013, the total loan amount was $14,383. The loan was non-interest bearing, due upon demand and unsecured. In January 2014, the Company repaid $639 of such loans. Additionally, in January 2014, the former controlling shareholder sold 100% of her interest in the Company to a third party and forgave all payments due to her. Accordingly, the Company reclassified all amounts to due to the former controlling shareholder of $13,744 to additional paid-in capital as a contributed capital.
