BUSINESS.
Corporate Background
General
Mobile Vault, Inc. was founded in May 2011 to provide software security solutions for smartphones to consumers. The Company has not developed any products, does not have any customers, and has generated no revenues.
The Company plans to provide consumers the software solutions to ensure their personal data (behaviors, transactions, location) is kept confidential and secure. The consumer will have full control of their data and will have the option to share their data at their own choice.
Mobile Vault plans to provide consumers the ability to instantly check where files have come from, securely back up the smartphone, check social networks for bad links and other threats like unsafe websites, and will monitor suspicious behavior to quickly detect attacks and malware. The Company believes this is an attractive market opportunity because of the consumer adoption of mobile phones and the impact of the phone on the consumer’s lifestyle.
Mobile Vault plans to develop products to protect the consumer’s privacy and security when using any mobile application. The Company plans to develop products which will allow the user to automatically back up their files to disc, USB device or a data center. This feature will provide the user an easy way to recover data and important files when your mobile device crashes. The Company also plans to provide the consumer the ability to securely and automatically manage usernames and passwords and avoid hacks from cybercriminals or unauthorized users. The consumer will not have to worry about unsafe and malicious websites, including phishing sites. The consumer will be able to email, chat and download files without having to be concerned about spyware and other threats that create damage.
In light of the huge success of the iPhone and Android smartphones, the Company plans to specifically target these platforms for the mobile applications.
Mobile Vault, Inc. is in the early stage of developing its business plan. The Company does not have any products, customers and has not generated any revenues. The Company must develop the product and attract customers before it can start generating revenues.
We have no plans to change our business activities or to combine with another business and are not aware of any events or circumstances that might cause us to change our plans. We have no revenues, have achieved losses since inception, have no operations, have been issued a going concern opinion and rely upon the sale of our securities to fund operations.
Our business and registered office is located at 3384 La Canada Drive, Cameron Park CA 95682, our telephone number is 530-409-3181.
On May 18, 2011, a total of 9,000,000 shares of common stock were issued to our sole officer and director, all of which are restricted securities, as defined in Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Securities Act.
As of May 31, 2012, Mobile Vault, Inc. had $1,603 of cash on hand in the corporate bank account. As of the date of this report, we have not generated any revenue from our business operations. The following financial information summarizes the more complete historical financial information found in the audited financial statements of the Company filed with this 10-K.
Business Overview
On May 18, 2011, Ms. Danielle Olsen, our President and sole director, incorporated the Company in the State of Florida and established a fiscal year end of May 31. Mobile Vault, Inc. to deliver mobile security and privacy protection software services.
The Company has not yet implemented its business model and to date has generated no revenues.
- 1 -
Mobile Vault, Inc., has not made any material change in its mode of conducting business and has no plans to change its business activities or to combine with another business and is not aware of any circumstances or events that might cause this plan to change. Since inception we have not been in receivership, bankruptcy or similar proceeding. We have not made any significant purchase or sale of assets or been involved in any merger, material reclassification, acquisition or consolidation.
Description of our Products and Services
Mobile Vault, Inc. products plan to provide mobile users the essential tools for security and privacy protection of their personal data on their smartphones.
On the Internet, users can control the level of their privacy via their web browser. They can have zero privacy, some or full privacy. Internet browsers allow websites to track you with cookies. That’s why when you search for hamburgers, you’ll get ads for food like McDonalds or Burger King. Cookies are stored on your browser and the user has the ability to disallow cookies, delete cookies or selectively use them. Websites also track your behavior only when you are on their sites using tools like Google Analytics, StatCounter and Woopra. They track you starting from what web site you came from, all your activity in their site and where you go to after you leave their site. Most people would be surprised that merely going to a website, the operator of the site (e.g. Facebook) can discern what prior website you came from, what operating system you use, the monitor resolution that you use, date and time of the visit, how long you’re on their site, all your click behaviors and anything you write on the site. The sites do not know who you are unless you explicitly tell them through registration and “opting in”. Applications perform limited tracking - mainly to make sure you have the most current or legal version of software. Also the information is anonymized when it is sent back to the software application vendor. This is how the application provider ensures trust with their customers.
On the mobile device, the same challenges exist. Therefore, the Company’s product will feature will address the following:
·
Automated backup;
·
Easy recovery;
·
Social Media security for the smartphones;
·
Blocks unsafe and malicious websites;
·
Blocks unsafe and malicious downloads;
·
Simple installation and ease of use.
·
Mobile Vault plans to address the needs and desires of smartphone users with a simple, convenient way to secure their data.
Competition
The competition for privacy and security mobile solutions is growing at this point. The Android device competition includes BullGuard Mobile Security, SMobile Security, Lookout Mobile Security, and ESET Mobile Security. On Apple, the competition includes Mobclix, Pinchmedia, Flurry, and Medialets who are software vendors that provide “tracking tools” for iPhone developers. Some may say these companies are no more innocuous than Google Analytics but it’s very different. Google Analytics tracks your behavior on the specific website it was installed on and there is no provision to track a unique identifier. So if you’re at neighborhood coffee shop’s WiFi, Google Analytics knows a computer signed in from the coffee shop WiFi address but cannot specifically attribute a nasty anonymous blog post to you and your specific computer.
Although the market competition is expanding, we feel there is not an existing product that meets the security and privacy protection needs along with Malware protection that works not only with the Internet but also with social networks.
The Company will face competitive challenges because the Company has not developed the product, does not have any revenues, and lacks the necessary capital to fund operations. The Company must overcome these challenges to be successful in the marketplace.
The Company believes that Mobile Vault’s strength in the security and privacy market will come from its integrated approach to work across the web, applications and social networks, along with an easy to use interface. The Company believes that users want a simple and secure solution that runs in the background. This type of solution will allow users to enjoy their phone for work and play and not worry about their personal data and privacy.

Employees and Employment Agreements
We currently have one employee, our executive officer, Ms. Danielle Olsen who is responsible for the primary operation of our business. There are no formal employment agreements between the Company and our current employee. The loss of Ms. Danielle Olsen’s services would have a material adverse and catastrophic impact on our business operations, which should be considered a high risk of investment.
Ms. Danielle Olsen’s monetary funding to the Company as of the date hereof has not been categorized as loans made to the Company, but as contributions for which she has received founders stock. Future contributions by Ms. Danielle Olsen to the Company, pursuant to the verbal and non-binding agreement, will be reflected on the financial statements of the Company as liabilities.
Facilities
The company does not own or lease property or lease office space. The office space used by the company was arranged by the founder of the company to use at no charge. Our principal offices are located 3384 La Canada Drive, Cameron Park, CA 95682.

RISK FACTORS.
AUDITOR’S GOING CONCERN
THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE ABILITY OF MOBILE VAULT, INC. TO CONTINUE ITS OPERATIONS AS A GOING CONCERN
In their audit report for the period ending May 31, 2012 and dated June 22 , 2012 our auditors have expressed an opinion that substantial doubt exists as to whether we can continue as an ongoing business. Because our sole officer may be unwilling or unable to loan or advance any additional capital to Mobile Vault, Inc. we believe that if we do not raise additional capital within the next 12 months, we may be required to suspend or cease the development of our business and marketing plans. See the May 31, 2012 Audited Financial Statements - Auditors Report”. Because the Company has been issued an opinion by its auditors that substantial doubt exists as to whether it can continue as a going concern it may be more difficult to attract investors.
WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY PROFITABLE AND MAY NOT BECOME PROFITABLE.
At May 31, 2012, we had $1,603 cash on-hand and our stockholder’s equity was $1,024 and there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. We have incurred operating losses since our formation and expect to incur losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future, and we may not achieve profitability. We expect to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. We also expect negative cash flow for the foreseeable future as we incur operating losses and capital expenditures. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues in order to achieve and maintain profitability. We may not be able to generate these revenues or achieve profitability in the future. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability could negatively impact the value of our business.
THE COMPANY IS SUBJECT TO THE 15(D) REPORTING REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 WHICH DOES NOT REQUIRE A COMPANY TO FILE ALL THE SAME REPORTS AND INFORMATION AS A FULLY REPORTING COMPANY.
The Company is subject to the 15(d) reporting requirements according to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company is required to file the necessary reports in the fiscal year that the registration statement is declared effective. After that fiscal year and provided the Company has less than 300 shareholders, the Company is not required to file these reports. If the reports are not filed, the investors will have reduced visibility as to the Company and its financial condition. In addition, as a filer subject to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company is not required to prepare proxy or information statements; our common stock will not be subject to the protection of the going private regulations; the Company will be subject to only limited portions of the tender offer rules; our officers, directors, and more than ten (10%) percent shareholders are not required to file beneficial ownership reports about their holdings in our Company; that these persons will not be subject to the short-swing profit recovery provisions of the Exchange Act; and that more than five percent (5%) holders of classes of your equity securities will not be required to report information about their ownership positions in the
securities.

WE ARE DEPENDENT UPON THE PROCEEDS OF THIS OFFERING TO FUND OUR BUSINESS. SINCE WE ARE CONDUCTING A “NO MINIMUM” OFFERING AND LACK ANY ENFORCEABLE SOURCE OF FUNDING, WE ARE DEPENDENT ON THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS OFFERING TO FUND OPERATIONS.
As of May 31, 2012, Mobile Vault, Inc. had $2,224 in assets and limited capital resources. Since we are conducting a no-minimum offering and lack any enforceable source of funding necessary to finance planned operations through 2012, we must raise approximately $150,000. To date, our operations have been funded by our sole officer and director pursuant to a verbal, non-binding agreement. Ms. Danielle Olsen has personally funded the Company’s overhead expenses, including legal, accounting, and operational expenses to date, however there is no assurances she will fund any expenses in the future. The Company does not currently owe Ms. Danielle Olsen any money as of the date of this registration statement, as Ms. Danielle Olsen’ monetary funding to the Company as of the date hereof has not been categorized as loans made to the Company, but as contributions for which she has received founders stock.
Unless the Company begins to generate sufficient revenues to finance operations as a going concern, the Company may experience liquidity and solvency problems. Such liquidity and solvency problems may force us to cease operations if additional financing is not available.
In the event our Company does not have adequate proceeds to operate, our sole officer and director, Ms. Danielle Olsen, has verbally agreed to fund the overhead expenses of the Company for the next twelve(12) months. The funding of the Company by Ms. Olsen will not create a liability of the Company, nor will it be reflected on the Company’s financial statements, it will be reflected as a contribution for additional founders stock. Ms. Olsen’s commitment to personally fund the Company could cease at any moment in her sole discretion.
Also, as a public company, we will incur professional and other fees in connection with our quarterly and annual reports and other periodic filings with the Security and Exchange Commission. Such costs can be substantial and we must generate enough revenue or raise money from offerings of securities or loans in order to meet these costs and our SEC filing requirements.
THE PRIVACY SECURITY SOFTWARE MARKET FOR MOBILE PHONES IS IN ITS EARLY PHASES OF GROWTH WITH A FRAGMENTED MARKET AMONG SOFTWARE SECURITY COMPANIES AND DEVICE MANUFACTURERS. THE COMPANY MUST DEVELOP A STRONG PRODUCT THAT IS DEVICE AGNOSTIC IN ORDER TO BUILD CONSUMER LOYALTY AND TO GENERATE REVENUES. IF THE COMPANY IS NOT ABLE TO ESTABLISH A STRONG BRAND AND POSITION IN THE MARKET, THE COMPANY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GENERATE THE REVENUE TO BECOME PROFITABLE. IF THE COMPANY DOESN’T GAIN THIS MARKET POSITION, WE FACE A HIGH RISK OF BUSINESS FAILURE.
According to TRUSTe Harris Interactive, the number one concern for US smartphone users was privacy and security. Only 36% of the users surveyed by eMarketer felt in control of their data. And 75% of the users indicated that they don’t like to be tracked by advertisers. The Company must develop unconventional privacy and security software to protect the user’s confidential personal data. The brand loyalty and objectivity will help the Company establish a position in the market and if successful, will help the Company generate revenues. If the Company does not establish itself in this market, the Company will not be able to generate sales and operating results will be negatively impacted and our business could fail.
THE MOBILE TRACKING OF PHONES AND USER DATA IS AN UNKNOWN PROBLEM IN THE MARKET AND IF NOT ADDRESSED WITH FULL TRANSPARENCY, COMPANIES RISK LOOSING CONSUMER CONFIDENCE. IF CONSUMERS LOOSE CONFIDENCE, THE BUSINESS WILL FAIL.
According to eMarketeer.com, the awareness of mobile ad tracking is only known by two-thirds of the smartphone users. Due to the sensitive nature of personal data on the phone, the advertising companies risk damaging their brand, trust, and loyalty with users. The companies that address these concerns with full transparency minimize their risk of losing customers. The Company’s privacy policy must be 100% transparent, and the Company must proactively address these concerns with users. If we don’t, we risk losing consumer confidence and our business will fail.
MOBILE VAULT MAY BE UNABLE TO MANAGE ITS FUTURE GROWTH. IF THE COMPANY CAN NOT SUCCESSFULLY MANAGE THE GROWTH, THE COMPANY MAY RUN OUT OF MONEY AND FAIL.
Any extraordinary growth may place a significant strain on management, finance, operating and technical resources. Failure to manage this growth effectively could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or the results of its operations.
- 4 -
AS OUR BUSINESS GROWS, WE WILL NEED TO ATTRACT ADDITIONAL MANAGERIAL EMPLOYEES WHICH WE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO DO.
We have one officer and director, Ms. Danielle Olsen, the President and sole director. In order to grow and implement our business plan, we would need to add managerial talent in sales, technical, and finance to support our business plan. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in adding such managerial talent.
THE COMPANY WILL NEED TO HIRE AND RETAIN TECHNICAL RESOURCES FOR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT. IF THOSE RESOURCES ARE NOT AVAILABLE OR ARE DIFFICULT TO FIND, THE COMPANY’S PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE AND BUSINESS WOULD BE IMPACTED.
The Company will need to hire technical resources, specifically programmers, to develop the Company’s products. Identifying and recruiting qualified resources with technical skills is difficult and time consuming. If the Company is not successful recruiting and retaining these technical resources, the Company’s product development will be delayed which will impact the Company’s development and operations.
THE COMPANY’S SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR MAY NOT BE IN A POSITION TO DEVOTE A MAJORITY OF HER TIME TO THE COMPANY, WHICH MAY RESULT IN PERIODIC INTERRUPTIONS AND EVEN BUSINESS FAILURE.
Ms. Danielle Olsen, our sole officer and director, has other business interests and currently devotes approximately 20-30 hours per week to our operations. She currently works at Tunnel Creek Dental as an IT manager. In addition, the Company is entirely dependent on the efforts of its sole officer and director, therefore her departure could have a materially adverse effect on the business. Her industry and technical expertise are critical to the success of the business. The loss of this resource would have a significant impact on our business. The Company does not maintain key person life insurance on its sole officer and director.
THE COMPANY’S CEO AND PRESIDENT HAS OBLIGATIONS WITH HER CURRENT EMPLOYER, THEREFORE SHE MAY HAVE CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITH MOBILE VAULT.
Ms. Danielle Olsen has current obligations with her employer Dental Creek Tunnel and those obligations including her time may present a conflict of interest with Mobile Vault. If a conflict arises, Ms. Olsen will use her best business judgment to ensure her fiduciary duties for the Company are handled first. If a conflict arises due to Ms. Olsen’s time, she will need to prioritize her time based on the circumstances. In some of these circumstances, Mobile Vault could be negatively impacted and could result in delays or disruptions to the business.
IF, AFTER DEMONSTRATING PROOF-OF-CONCEPT, WE ARE UNABLE TO ESTABLISH PROFITABLE RELATIONSHIPS WITH CUSTOMERS AND GENERATE REVENUES, THE BUSINESS WILL FAIL.
Because there may be a substantial delay between the completion of this offering, and creating a proof-of-concept we can use to attract customers, it may take us longer to generate revenues. If the Company’s efforts are unsuccessful or take longer than anticipated, the Company may run out of capital and if Ms. Danielle Olsen does not fund the Company, the business will fail.
WE WILL RELY ON STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS TO PROMOTE OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES AND IF WE FAIL TO DEVELOP, MAINTAIN OR ENHANCE THESE RELATIONSHIPS, OUR ABILITY TO SERVE OUR CUSTOMERS AND DEVELOP NEW SERVICES AND APPLICATIONS COULD BE HARMED.
Our ability to provide our products to consumers depends significantly on our ability to develop, maintain or enhance our strategic relationships with distribution partners to access these potential customers. In the beginning of operations, there will be a marketing challenge for Mobile Vault. The Company and identity will be newly formed therefore, the Company will be relatively unknown in the marketplace. Therefore, Mobile Vault won’t benefit from immediate name recognition.
THE COMPANY MAY RETAIN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS OR CONSULTANTS DUE TO CAPITAL CONSTRAINTS TO HELP GROW THE BUSINESS. IF THESE RESOURCES DO NOT PERFORM, THE COMPANY MAY HAVE TO CEASE OPERATIONS AND YOU MAY LOOSE YOUR INVESTMENT.
The Company’s management may decide due to economic reasons to retain independent contractors to provide services to the Company. Those independent individuals have no fiduciary duty to the shareholders of the Company and may not perform as expected.
- 5 -
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY WITH CURRENT AND FUTURE COMPETITORS.
Mobile Vault, Inc. has security software competitors that include Bulldog Mobile, SMobile Security, and ESET Mobile Security, Mobclix, Pinchmedia, Flurry, and Medialets. These companies market solutions across devices, carriers, and platforms. Since we have not developed any products, if and when we are successful developing products, we will compete with other companies, some of which have far greater marketing and financial resources and experience than we do. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to penetrate our intended market and be able to compete profitably, if at all.
In addition to established competitors, there is ease of market entry for other mobile privacy and security companies that choose to compete with us. Competition could result in price reductions, reduced margins or have other negative implications, any of which could adversely affect our business and chances for success. Competition is likely to increase significantly as new companies enter the mobile privacy and security market and current competitors expand their services. Many of these potential competitors are likely to enjoy substantial competitive advantages, including: larger staffs, greater name recognition, larger customer bases and substantially greater financial, marketing, technical and other resources. To be competitive, we must respond promptly and effectively to the challenges of financial change, evolving standards and competitors’ innovations by continuing to enhance our services and sales and marketing channels. Any pricing pressures, reduced margins or loss of market share resulting from increased competition, or our failure to compete effectively, could fatally damage our business and chances for success.
BECAUSE THE COMPANY HAS 500,000,000 AUTHORIZED SHARES, MANAGEMENT COULD ISSUE ADDITIONAL SHARES, DILUTING THE CURRENT SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
The Company has 480,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, of which only 9,000,000 common shares are currently issued and outstanding. The Company also has 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized, none of which is outstanding. The Company’s management could, without the consent of the existing shareholders, issue substantially more shares, causing a large dilution in the equity position of the Company’s current shareholders. Additionally, large share issuances would generally have a negative impact on the Company’s share price. It is possible that, due to additional share issuance, you could lose a substantial amount, or all, of your investment.
THE COMPANY DOES NOT ANTICIPATE PAYING DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE
We do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future, but plan rather to retain earnings, if any, for the operation growth and expansion of our business. Therefore, the only way to liquidate your investment is to sell your stock.
THE FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE INTERNAL CONTROL EVALUATION AND CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 404 OF SARBANES-OXLEY ACT COULD HARM OUR OPERATIONS AND OUR ABILITY TO COMPLY WITH OUR PERIODIC REPORTING OBLIGATIONS.
Our Company is subject to portions of the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. We are also required to comply with the internal control evaluation and certification requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, however we are not required to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting until we file our second annual report. In addition, so long as we are a smaller reporting company, we will not be required to obtain or provide a report from our independent auditor regarding the effectiveness of our controls and procedures over financial reporting.
We are in the process of determining whether our existing internal controls over financial reporting systems are compliant with Section 404. This process may divert internal resources and will take a significant amount of time, effort and expense to complete. If it is determined that we are not in compliance with Section 404, we may be required to implement new internal control procedures and reevaluate our financial reporting. If we are unable to implement these changes effectively or efficiently, it could harm our operations, financial reporting or financial results and could result in our being unable to obtain an unqualified report on internal controls from our independent auditors, which could adversely affect our ability to comply with our periodic reporting obligations under the Exchange Act.
OUR COMMON STOCK IS SUBJECT TO THE “PENNY STOCK” RULES OF THE SEC AND THE TRADING MARKET IN OUR SECURITIES IS LIMITED, WHICH MAKES TRANSACTIONS IN OUR STOCK CUMBERSOME AND MAY REDUCE THE VALUE OF AN INVESTMENT IN OUR STOCK.
- 6 -
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
·
that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and
·
the broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
·
obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and
·
make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
·
sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
·
that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our Common Stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
THE PRICE OF OUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK IN THE FUTURE MAY BE VOLATILE.
If a market develops for our Common Stock, of which no assurances can be given, the market price of our Common Stock will likely be volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, but not limited to: additions or departures of key personnel; sales of our Common Stock; new technology, products and services; our ability to execute our business plan; operating results below expectations; loss of any strategic relationship; economic and quarter to quarter fluctuations in our financial results. Because we have a very limited operating history with limited to no revenues to date, you may consider any one of these factors to be material.
RISKS RELATED TO INVESTING IN OUR COMPANY
OUR LACK OF AN OPERATING HISTORY GIVES NO ASSURANCE THAT OUR FUTURE OPERATIONS WILL RESULT IN PROFITABLE REVENUES, WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF OUR OPERATIONS AND INVESTORS MAY LOOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT
We were incorporated on May 18, 2011 and we have not realized any revenues to date. We are an early entry stage company in a very competitive mobile services market. We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon the completion of this offering and our ability to generate revenues through sales of our products.
Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses and not generating revenues. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues will cause us to go out of business and you will lose your entire investment.
- 7 -
OUR OPERATING RESULTS MAY PROVE UNPREDICTABLE WHICH MAY IMPACT THE COMPANY AND THE VALUE OF THE INVESTMENT
Our operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which we have no control over. Currently, we don’t have a product or prototype. Factors that may cause our operating results to fluctuate significantly include: our inability to generate enough working capital from future equity sales; and after we create a commercial product, the factors include: the level of commercial acceptance by the ecommerce businesses of our products; fluctuations in the demand for our product and capital expenditures relating to expansion of our future business, operations and infrastructure and general economic conditions. If realized, any of these risks could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
BECAUSE WE ARE SMALL AND DO NOT HAVE MUCH CAPITAL, WE MUST LIMIT OUR MARKETING ACTIVITIES. AS A RESULT, OUR SALES MAY NOT BE ENOUGH TO OPERATE PROFITABLY. IF WE DO NOT MAKE A PROFIT, WE MAY HAVE TO SUSPEND OR CEASE OPERATIONS.
Due to the fact we are small with very little working capital, we must limit our marketing activities to potential customers having the likelihood of purchasing our products. We intend to generate revenue through the sale of our products. Because we will be limiting the scope of our marketing activities, we may not be able to generate enough sales to operate profitably. If we cannot operate
profitably, we may have to suspend or cease operations.
THE COMPANY MAY BE UNABLE TO MAKE NECESSARY ARRANGEMENTS AT ACCEPTABLE COSTS WHICH WILL IMPACT PROFITABILITY AND MAY CAUSE US TO CEASE OPERATIONS IF WE RUN OUT OF CAPITAL
Because we are a small business, with limited assets, we are not in a position to assume unanticipated costs and expenses. If we have to make changes in the Company structure or are faced with circumstances that are beyond our ability to afford, we may have to suspend operations or cease operations entirely which could result in a total loss of your investment.
GENERAL COMPETITION
The Company has identified a market opportunity for our products. The mobile application market is very competitive and aggressive on pricing and service. Competitors already exist in this sector with superior products, services, financial resources, conditions and/or benefits. This will infringe on our future customer base, lengthen our sales cycle, and increase marketing costs, which in turn will have an adverse affect upon our business and the results of our operations.
COMPETITION MAY DECREASE OUR MARKET SHARE, REVENUES, AND GROSS MARGINS.
The competition for privacy and security mobile solutions is growing at this point. The Android device competition includes BullGuard Mobile Security, SMobile Security, Lookout Mobile Security, and ESET Mobile Security. On Apple, the competition includes Mobclix, Pinchmedia, Flurry, and Medialets who are software vendors that provide “tracking tools” for iPhone developers. Some may say these companies are no more innocuous than Google Analytics but it’s very different. Google Analytics tracks your behavior on the specific website it was installed on and there is no provision to track a unique identifier. So if you’re at neighborhood coffee shop’s WiFi, Google Analytics knows a computer signed in from the coffee shop WiFi address but cannot specifically attribute a nasty anonymous blog post to you and your specific computer.
Although the market competition is expanding, we feel there is not an existing product that meets the security and privacy protection needs along with Malware protection that works not only with the Internet but also with social networks.
The Company will face competitive challenges because the Company has not developed the product, does not have any revenues, and lacks the necessary capital to fund operations. The Company must overcome these challenges to be successful in the marketplace.
The Company believes that Mobile Vault’s strength in the security and privacy market will come from its integrated approach to work across the web, applications and social networks, along with an easy to use interface. The Company believes that users want a simple and secure solution that runs in the background. This type of solution will allow users to enjoy their phone for work and play and not worry about their personal data and privacy.
IF, AFTER DEMONSTRATING PROOF-OF-CONCEPT, WE ARE UNABLE TO ESTABLISH RELATIONSHIPS WITH BUSINESS AND CHANNEL PARTNERS AND/OR CUSTOMERS, THE BUSINESS WILL FAIL.
- 8 -
Because there may be a substantial delay between the completion of this offering and the execution of the business plan, our expenses may be increased and it may take us longer to attract customers and generate revenues. We have no way to predict when we will begin delivering our products. In addition, it takes time, money, and resources to build relationships with customers and partners. If these efforts are unsuccessful or take longer than anticipated, the Company may run out of capital and the business will fail.
THE COMPANY MAY RETAIN INDEPENDENT RESOURCES OR CONSULTANTS DUE TO CAPITAL CONSTRAINTS TO HELP GROW THE BUSINESS. IF THESE RESOURCES DO NOT PERFORM, THE COMPANY MAY HAVE TO CEASE OPERATIONS AND YOU MAY LOOSE YOUR INVESTMENT
The company’s management may decide due to economic reasons to retain independent contractors to provide services to the company. Those independent individuals and organizations have no fiduciary duty to the shareholders of the company and may not perform as expected.
AVERAGE SELLING PRICES OF OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES MAY DECREASE, WHICH MAY HARM OUR GROSS MARGINS.
The average selling prices of our products and services may be lower than expected as a result of competitive pricing pressures and promotional programs. We expect to experience pricing pressure and anticipate that the average selling prices and gross margins for our products may decrease over product life cycles. We may not be successful in developing and introducing on a timely basis new products with enhanced features and services that can be sold at higher gross margins.
WE WILL RELY ON STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS TO PROMOTE OUR SERVICES AND IF WE FAIL TO DEVELOP, MAINTAIN OR ENHANCE THESE RELATIONSHIPS, OUR ABILITY TO SERVE OUR CUSTOMERS AND DEVELOP NEW SERVICES AND APPLICATIONS COULD BE HARMED.
Our ability to provide our products to consumers depends significantly on our ability to develop, maintain or enhance our strategic relationships with these potential customers. In the beginning of operations, there will be a marketing challenge for Mobile Vault, Inc.. The product the company and identity will be newly formed; therefore, the company will be relatively unknown in the marketplace. Although the founder has significant experience and many contacts within the industry, she has worked mainly as a consultant during the course of her career. Therefore, Mobile Vault, Inc. will not benefit from immediate name recognition.
RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANY’S MARKET AND STRATEGY
THE MOBILE APPLICATION MARKET IS AN EMERGING MARKET AND HIRING QUALIFIED RESOURCES ARE DIFFICULT TO ACCOMPLISH. IF WE CAN NOT RETAIN QUALIFIED RESOURCES AND ATTRACT CUSTOMERS, WE FACE A HIGH RISK OF BUSINESS FAILURE WHICH WOULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT.
The Company expects that its results of operations may also fluctuate significantly in the future due to the availability and retention of motivated and qualified personnel. The Company needs these qualified resources to attract and retain customers. If we are not successful hiring and managing these resources our business will fail, which could result in a complete loss of your investment.
MANAGEMENT’S ABILITY TO IMPLEMENT THE BUSINESS STRATEGY SUCCESSFULLY IS CRITICAL TO THE BUSINESS SUCCESS. IF THE MANAGEMENT FAILS TO IMPLEMENT THE BUSINESS STRATEGY, THE COMPANY WILL FAIL AND INVESTORS WILL LOOSE THEIR INVESTMENT
Although the Company intends to pursue a strategy of marketing its product online, our business success depends on a number of factors. These include: our ability to establish a significant customer base and maintain favorable relationships with customers and partners in the mobile application industry; obtain adequate business financing on favorable terms in order to buy all the necessary software and processing systems; development and maintenance of appropriate operating procedures, policies and systems; hire, train and retain skilled employees. The inability of the Company to manage any or all of these factors could impair its ability to implement its business strategy successfully, which could have a materially adverse effect on the results of its operations and its financial condition.
MOBILE VAULT, INC. MAY BE UNABLE TO MANAGE ITS FUTURE GROWTH. IF THE COMPANY CAN NOT SUCCESSFULLY MANAGE THE GROWTH, THE COMPANY MAY RUN OUT OF MONEY AND FAIL.
Any extraordinary growth may place a significant strain on management, financial, operating and technical resources. Failure to manage this growth effectively could have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or the results of its operations.
- 9 -
THE COMPANY ANTICIPATES THAT ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING A CUSTOMER BASE IN THE MOBILE APPLICATION MARKET WILL BE DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE ESPECIALLY SINCE CONSUMERS ARE ALWAYS COST CONSCIOUS. IF WE CAN NOT ATTRACT A CUSTOMER BASE, WE FACE A HIGH RISK OF BUSINESS FAILURE WHICH WOULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OFYOUR INVESTMENT.
The Company expects that attracting, building and managing a customer base is very difficult to accomplish in the mobile application market space. Customers are very cost sensitive and will switch to any other product based on cost. We plan to provide a product and services that are high utility value, simple to use, and cost effective. Accordingly, when we are ready, if we cannot build a customer base, our future sales and operating results will be negatively impacted and our business could fail.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Overview
Mobile Vault, Inc. is a development stage company, incorporated in the State of Florida on, May 18, 2011 Mobile Vault Inc., is a development stage company that was incorporated to provide software security solutions for smartphones to consumers. The Company plans to provide consumers the software solutions to ensure their personal data (behaviors, transactions, location) is kept confidential and secure. The consumer will have full control of this data and will have the option to share data at their choice.
On May 18, 2011, a total of 9,000,000 shares of common stock were issued to our sole officer and director, all of which are restricted securities, as defined in Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Securities Act.
As of May 31, 2012, Mobile Vault, Inc. had raised $9,000 through the sale of its common stock. There is $1,603 of cash on hand in the corporate bank account. As of the date of this report, we have not generated any revenue from our business operations. The following financial information summarizes the more complete historical financial information found in the audited financial statements of the Company filed with this 10-K.
- 11 -
Set forth below is a discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of Mobile Vault, Inc. for the year ended May 31, 2012 and 2011. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information set forth in the financial statements and the related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
Results of Operations - Year Ended May 31, 2012 Compared to the Year Ended May 31, 2011
The Company has not yet implemented its business model and to date has generated no revenues.
REVENUE.
No revenue for 2012 or 2011.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
These costs increased by $1,760 from $3,108 for the year ended May 31, 2011 to $4,868 for the year ended May 31, 2012. The increase was a result of the legal fees for the financing, SEC filing fees, and audit fees during the fiscal year.
NON-CASH STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION.
None.
PLANNING, LEGAL, ACCOUNTING, AUDITING AND OTHER PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FEES.
The company’s expenses during the year consisted of business planning, accounting, auditing, and SEC & filing fees.
OFFICE AND OTHER CORPORATE COSTS.
None.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION.
None.
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS.
None.
INTEREST INCOME.
None.
INTEREST EXPENSE.
None.
NET LOSS BEFORE INCOME TAXES
As a result of the factors described above, we reported a net loss before income taxes of $4,868 for the year ended May 31, 2012 compared to a net loss of 3,108 for the year ended May 31, 2011.
Mobile Vault, Inc. has not made any material change in its mode of conducting business and has no plans to change its business activities or to combine with another business and is not aware of any circumstances or events that might cause this plan to change. Since inception we have not been in receivership, bankruptcy or similar proceeding. We have not made any significant purchase or sale of assets or been involved in any merger, material reclassification, acquisition or consolidation.
- 12 -
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our balance sheet as of May 31, 2012 reflects cash assets in the amount of $1,603 as compared to $8,992 in cash for the period from May 18, 2011 (inception) to May 31, 2011. Cash and cash equivalents from inception to date have been sufficient to provide the operating capital necessary to operate to date. The Company had no revenues and incurred a net loss of $4,868 for the year ended May 31, 2012 as compared to net loss of $3,108 for the period from May 18, 2011 (inception) to May 31, 2011. During the period from May 18, 2011 (inception) to May 31, 2012, the Company’s balance sheet reflected an accumulated deficit of $7,976.
The Company does not believe that it has sufficient capital to fund its expenses over the next twelve months. The Company currently has no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources. Since the Company has no such arrangements or plans currently in effect, its inability to raise funds for the above purposes will have a severe negative impact on its ability to remain a viable company.
Going Concern Consideration
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the notes to the financial statements, the Company has no established source of revenue. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.
As a result of these uncertainties, the report of our registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for fiscal year-end May 31, 2012 contained an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s activities to date have been supported by equity financing from Danielle Olsen, the Company’s CEO and President. It has sustained losses in all previous reporting periods with an accumulated deficit of $7,976 as of May 31, 2012. Management continues to seek funding from its shareholders and other qualified investors to pursue its business plan. In the alternative, the Company may be amenable to a sale, merger or other acquisition in the event such transaction is deemed by management to be in the best interests of the shareholders.
Recent Security Offerings
None.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
Impact of Inflation
We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations for the years ended May 31, 2012 and 2011. We cannot assure you that future inflation will not have an adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Accounting Basis
The Company is currently a development stage enterprise reporting under the provisions of FASB ASC 915, Development Stage Entity. These financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are reported in the balance sheet at cost, which approximates fair value. For the purpose of the financial statements cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased.
- 13 -
Earnings (Loss) per Share
The Company adopted FASB ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted as of the first of the year for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There were no diluted or potentially diluted shares outstanding for all periods presented.
Dividends
The Company has not adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid during the periods shown, and none are contemplated in the near future.
Income Taxes
The Company adopted FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, at its inception under FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carryforwards, 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 income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. No deferred tax assets or liabilities were recognized as of May 31, 2012 or 2011, respectively.
Advertising
The Company will expense advertising as incurred. The advertising since inception has been $0.00.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
The Company has no current source of revenue; therefore the Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding the recognition of revenue or cost.
The Company has filed all income tax returns since inception.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We will maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from our customers not making their required payments after we start generating revenue.
Tangible and Intangible Asset Impairment
After we have any tangible or intangible assets on our balance sheet, we will review those long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary. This amendment to Topic 810 clarifies, but does not change, the scope of current US GAAP. It clarifies the decrease in ownership provisions of Subtopic 810-10 and removes the potential conflict between guidance in that Subtopic and asset derecognition and gain or loss recognition guidance that may exist in other US GAAP. An entity will be required to follow the amended guidance beginning in the period that it first adopts FAS 160 (now included in Subtopic 810-10). For those entities that have already adopted FAS 160, the amendments are effective at the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to the first period that an entity adopted FAS 160. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-02 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-01, Equity (Topic 505): Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). This amendment to Topic 505 clarifies the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a limit on the amount of cash that will be distributed is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260. Effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and would be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-01 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities. This Accounting Standards Update amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for Statement 167. (See FAS 167 effective date below).
In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets. This Accounting Standards Update amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for Statement 166. (See FAS 166 effective date below).
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-15, Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing. This Accounting Standards Update amends the FASB Accounting Standard Codification for EITF 09-1. (See EITF 09-1 effective date below).
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-14, Software (Topic 985): Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements. This update changed the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. Effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2009-14 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. This update addressed the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than a combined unit and will be separated in more circumstances that under existing US GAAP. This amendment has eliminated that residual method of allocation. Effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2009-13 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
In September 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). This update provides amendments to Topic 820 for the fair value measurement of investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share (or its equivalent). It is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Early application is permitted in financial statements for earlier interim and annual periods that have not been issued. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2009-12 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168 (ASC Topic 105), “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS No. 168”). Under SFAS No. 168 the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (“Codification”) became the source of authoritative US GAAP to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS No. 168 was effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. On the effective date, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification became non-authoritative. SFAS No. 168 was effective for the Company’s interim quarterly period beginning July 1, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 168 to have an impact on the financial statements other than current references to GAAP.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167 (ASC Topic 810), “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (“SFAS 167”). SFAS 167 amends the consolidation guidance applicable to variable interest entities. The provisions of SFAS 167 significantly affect the overall consolidation analysis under FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). SFAS 167 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009. SFAS 167 was effective for the Company beginning in 2010. The Company does not expect the provisions of SFAS 167 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, (ASC Topic 860) “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS 166”). The provisions of SFAS 166, in part, amend the derecognition guidance in FASB Statement No. 140, eliminate the exemption from consolidation for qualifying special-purpose entities and require additional disclosures. SFAS 166 is effective for financial asset transfers occurring after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the provisions of SFAS 166 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Management’s Annual Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
·
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
·
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
·
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
As of May 31, 2012 management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses. The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (3) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of May 31, 2012.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2) and (3) above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:
- 17 -
We will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us. And, we plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds are available to us.
Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board.
We anticipate that these initiatives will be at least partially, if not fully, implemented by December 31, 2012. Additionally, we plan to test our updated controls and remediate our deficiencies by November 30, 2012.
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting
There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

The interruption of his services could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future development, if suitable replacements are not promptly obtained. We have not entered into an employment agreement with our sole officer and director. We cannot guaranty that she will remain with us. In addition, our success depends, in part, upon our ability to attract and retain other talented personnel. Although we believe that our relations with our personnel are good and that we will continue to be successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel, we cannot guaranty that we will be able to continue to do so. Our sole officer and director will hold office until her resignation or removal.
The following table sets forth information regarding our current executive officers and directors as well as other key members of our management. Our officers and directors will serve one-year terms or until our next annual meeting of shareholders, whichever is longer.

Committees of the Board
Audit Committee. Presently, the board of directors acts as the audit committee. Our board of directors does not have an “audit committee financial expert,” within the meaning of such phrase under applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, serving on its audit committee.

·
reviewing changes in accounting principles;
·
reviewing the results of the auditing engagement with our independent auditors and with our officer;

·
identifying individuals qualified to become board members and recommending that the board select a group of director nominees for each next annual meeting of our stockholders;
·
ensuring that the Audit, Compensation and Compliance Committees of the board have the benefit of qualified and experienced “independent” directors;

Selection of Nominees for the Board of Directors
The Compliance Committee is responsible for evaluating potential candidates to serve on our board of directors, and for selecting nominees to be presented for election to the board at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders. In evaluating potential director candidates, the Compliance Committee considers the skills and characteristics possessed by each candidate in the context of the perceived needs of the board at that point in time. Among the factors considered by the Compliance Committee in considering a potential nominee are the following:
·
the nominee’s independence;
·
the nominee’s relevant professional skills and depth of business experience;
·
the nominee’s character, judgment and personal and professional integrity;
·
the nominee’s ability to read and understand financial statements;
·
the nominee’s willingness to commit sufficient time to attend to his or her duties and responsibilities as a member of the board;
·
the nominee’s qualifications for membership on certain committees of the board;
·
any potential conflicts of interest involving the nominee; and
·
the makeup and diversity of our existing board.
In identifying potential candidates for the board, the committee relies on recommendations from a number of possible sources, including the current director. The Compliance Committee may also retain outside consultants or search firms to help in identifying potential candidates for membership on the board.
The Compliance Committee will consider any written suggestions of stockholders for director nominations. The recommendation must include the name and address of the candidate, a brief biographical description and a description of the person’s qualifications. The Committee has full discretion in considering all nominations to the board of directors. Stockholders who would like to nominate a candidate for director must comply with the requirements described in our by-laws.

INDEX OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SCHEDULES
The following financial statements of Mobile Vault, Inc. required to be included in Items 8 and 15 are listed below:
Mobile Vault, Inc.
Audited Financial Statements for the years ended May 31, 2012 and 2011.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Mobile Vault, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet Mobile Vault, Inc. (a development stage company) as of May 31, 2012 and the related statement of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the period from May18, 2011 (date of inception) through May 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Mobile Vault, Inc. for the year ended May 31, 2012 and for the period May 18, 2011 (date of inception) through May 31, 2012, in conformance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements, the Company is in development stage with limited operations and resources, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 6. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRACTICES
Accounting Basis
The Company is currently a development stage enterprise reporting under the provisions of FASB ASC 915, Development Stage Entity. These financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are reported in the balance sheet at cost, which approximates fair value. For the purpose of the financial statements cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
The Company adopted FASB ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted as of the first of the year for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There were no diluted or potentially diluted shares outstanding for all periods presented.
Dividends
The Company has not adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid during the periods shown, and none are contemplated in the near future.
Income Taxes
The Company adopted FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, at its inception. Under FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carryforwards, 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 income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. No deferred tax assets or liabilities were recognized as of May 31, 2012 or 2011, respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(May 31, 2012)
Advertising
The Company will expense advertising as incurred. The advertising since inception has been $0.00.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
The Company has no current source of revenue; therefore the Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding the recognition of revenue or cost.
Related Parties
Related parties, which can be a corporation, individual, investor or another entity are considered to be related if the party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the Company in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence. The Company has these relationships.
Property
The Company does not own any real estate or other properties. The Company’s office is located 3384 La Canada Drive, Cameron Park, CA 95682. Our contact number is 530-409-3181. The business office is located at the home of Danielle Olsen, the CEO of the Company, at no charge to the Company. Such costs are immaterial to the financial statements and, accordingly, have not been reflected therein.
NOTE 3.
INCOME TAXES
The Company provides for income taxes under ASC Topic 740 which requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect currently.
ASC Topic 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the Company’s opinion, it is uncertain whether they will generate sufficient taxable income in the future to fully utilize the net deferred tax asset. Therefore, the net deferred tax asset and income tax expense have been fully offset by a valuation allowance at May 31, 2012 and 2011, leaving a balance of $0 for both periods.
The Company has filed all income tax returns since inception.
At May 31, 2012, the Company had estimated net loss carry forwards of approximately $7,976, which expires through its tax year ending 2032. Utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards may be limited in accordance with IRC Section 382 in the event of certain shifts in ownership.

NOTE 4.
STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Common Stock
On May 18, 2011, the Company issued 9,000,000 of its $0.0001 par value common stock at $0.001 per share for $9,000 cash to the founder of the Company. The issuance of the shares was made to the sole officer and director of the Company and an individual who is a sophisticated and accredited investor, therefore, the issuance was exempt from registration of the Securities Act of 1933 by reason of Section 4 (2) of that Act.
There are 20,000,000 Preferred Shares at $0.0001 par value authorized with none issued or outstanding. There are 480,000,000 Common Shares at $0.0001 par value authorized with 9,000,000 shares issued and outstanding May 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
NOTE 5.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
An officer and director of the Company is involved in business activities outside of the Company and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities that become available. They may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and other business interests. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.
NOTE 6.
GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. For the period May 18, 2011 (date of inception) through May 31, 2012 the Company has had a net loss of $7,976. As of May 31, 2012, the Company has not emerged from the development stage. In view of these matters, recoverability of any asset amounts shown in the accompanying financial statements is dependent upon the Company’s ability to begin operations and to achieve a level of profitability. Since inception, the Company has financed its activities from the sale of equity securities. The Company intends on financing its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from loans and the sale of public equity securities with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations, if ever, are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.
NOTE 7.
THE EFFECT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Below is a listing of the most recent accounting standards and their effect on the Company.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary. This amendment to Topic 810 clarifies, but does not change, the scope of current US GAAP. It clarifies the decrease in ownership provisions of Subtopic 810-10 and removes the potential conflict between guidance in that Subtopic and asset derecognition and gain or loss recognition guidance that may exist in other US GAAP. An entity will be required to follow the amended guidance beginning in the period that it first adopts FAS 160 (now included in Subtopic 810-10). For those entities that have already adopted FAS 160, the amendments are effective at the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to the first period that an entity adopted FAS 160. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-02 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(May 31, 2012)
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-01, Equity (Topic 505): Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). This amendment to Topic 505 clarifies the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a limit on the amount of cash that will be distributed is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260. Effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and would be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-01 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities. This Accounting Standards Update amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for Statement 167. (See FAS 167 effective date below)
In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets. This Accounting Standards Update amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for Statement 166. (See FAS 166 effective date below)
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-15, Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-14, Software (Topic 985): Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements. This update changed the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. Effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2009-14 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. This update addressed the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than a combined unit and will be separated in more circumstances that under existing US GAAP. This amendment has eliminated that residual method of allocation. Effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2009-13 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
In September 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). This update provides amendments to Topic 820 for the fair value measurement of investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share (or its equivalent). It is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Early application is permitted in financial statements for earlier interim and annual periods that have not been issued. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2009-12 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168 (ASC Topic 105), “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS No. 168”). Under SFAS No. 168 the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (“Codification”) became the source of authoritative US GAAP to be applied by nongovernmental entities, effective July 1, 2009. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS No. 168 was effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. On the effective date, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification became non-authoritative. SFAS No. 168 was effective for the Company’s interim quarterly period beginning July 1, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 168 to have an impact on the financial statements other than current references to GAAP.
