PART I

Item 1.    Description of Business

Toro Ventures Inc. was incorporated in the state of Nevada on April 11, 2005. We intend to commence operations as a fast food service company. We currently own the exclusive franchisee rights in the provinces of Hubei and Beijing in China to the Big-On-Burgers Restaurants franchise, a Canadian-based fast food service provider of traditional North American cuisine such as hamburgers and French fries. We plan to begin operations of a Big-On-Burgers store in China once sufficient investment capital is raised.

On May 15, 2005, Toro Ventures Inc. signed a Master Franchise Agreement with Big-On-Burgers Restaurants, the franchisor, which grants Toro Ventures exclusive rights to open and operate Big-On-Burgers restaurants in the provinces of Hubei and Beijing in China. The agreement will be in effect for a period of ten years, terminating on April 15, 2015. The agreement also allows us to sub-license others to use the Big-On-Burgers trademark in the provinces of Hubei and Beijing in China. We may carry on the operation of any number of franchise outlets in the provinces of Hubei and Beijing in China.

In consideration for being granted the rights to the Master Franchise Agreement, we accepted to pay the following fees:

1. We agreed to issue 275,000 shares of our common stock to the franchisor upon the signing of the franchise agreement.
2. A royalty of 5% of monthly gross sales of all of the franchised outlets operating in our exclusive territory will be remitted to the Franchisor by us by the fifteen of the following month.
3. An advertising royalty of 3% of monthly gross sales of all of the franchised outlets operating in the exclusive territory will be remitted to the franchisor by us by the fifteen of the following month.

Other than the items mentioned above, we are not required to make any other types of payments to the franchisor during the term of the agreement.

We have the option to renew this agreement for a further ten years upon the same terms and conditions, except for the fees, contained in the original Master Franchise Agreement. The renewal term commences upon the termination date of the original agreement.

The current North American fast food service industry in China is dominated by the same major players in North America. The North American firms that have the strongest position in the current fast food service industry in China is McDonald's and KFC restaurants. The Chinese population has shown a great willingness to partake in fast-food style fare, as fast food accounted for two-fifths of the total sale volume of food and beverage in China in 2000 (Source: National Bureau of Statisitcs, (www.stats.gov.cn)Conservative estimates of annual sales of fast food were above US$24 billion in 2000. (Source: Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, http://atn-riae.agr.ca/asia)

The competition amongst these established players is intense, using price and brand imaging as their main methods of competition. Their strategies often emphasize being able to offer to their customers the lowest price and the fastest service. However, their constant emphasis on price and speed comes at the cost of sub-par quality of food and customer service.

We believe that there is currently a large need that our current competitors are not satisfying in the North American fast food service industry in China, as customers in China who are willing to pay a little extra for higher quality North American fare have no alternatives to turn to presently. Our business plan intends to service this growing niche market. We intend to use the importance we place on quality and service to differentiate our restaurant from the major fast food chains that the Chinese people currently associate with North American style cuisine. Our intention is to introduce to the Chinese population the notion that North American fast food does not necessarily mean pre-made, processed meals and that it can be fresh and of high quality.

As of to date of this filing, we have not generated any revenues, as we have had no operational activities.

Our restaurant will be subject to the regulations of the Chinese provincial health, sanitation, safety, environmental and fire agencies in the province it will be located in. We will ensure that we will be in compliance with such regulations in the future by hiring a local Chinese manager who has experience managing and operating a fast food retailer in China.

Listed below are specific government approvals we will need to apply for in order to begin operations in China:

• We must obtain approval from the Ministry of Commerce for approval to set up a foreign owned enterprise in China.
• We must register our business with the State Administration for Industry and Commerce to obtain a license to start a business in China.
• We must obtain a permit from the Food and Health ministry in order to start our restaurant.
• We must register our business with the ministry of Labour in order to hire employees.

We expect to obtain all the above and necessary government approvals by the end of November of 2007.

We currently have no employees, other than our director, because there is no operational restaurant in existence presently.

We do not have any subsidiaries.

There has been no bankruptcy, receivership, or similar proceedings.

We currently own the exclusive right to use the Big-On-Burgers trademark in the country of China.

The Big-On-Burgers trademark is not registered. However, a search was done prior to its use in order to make sure we would not be infringing any rights by using it. The trademark right to the logo is acquired through usage, representation and exposure and via the explicit identification of the letters "TM" appropriately placed beside the logo.

Other than the above, we do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patents or trademarks.

Item 6:     Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

The following discussion and analysis provides information which management of Toro Ventures Inc. (the "Company") believes to be relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company's results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read together with the Company's financial statements and the notes to financial statements, which are included in this report.

Overview

Toro Ventures Inc. was incorporated in the state of Nevada on April 11, 2005. We intend to commence operations as a fast food service company. We currently own the exclusive franchisee rights in the provinces of Hubei and Beijing in China to the Big-On-Burgers Restaurants franchise, a Canadian-based fast food service provider of traditional North American cuisine such as hamburgers and French fries. We plan to begin operations of a Big-On-Burgers store in China once sufficient investment capital is raised.

Results of Operations

Revenues

We did not earn any revenues during the fiscal period end June 30, 2007, nor has the Company earned any revenues since its inception date of April 11, 2005.

General & Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses totaled $23,754 for the fiscal period ended June 30, 2007, compared to general and administrative expenses of $48,096 for the fiscal period ended June 30, 2006. General and administrative expenses incurred during the fiscal period ended June 30, 2007 is largely attributed to fees paid the rent on the Company's office facilities and  for professional fees related to the audit expenses and consulting fees.

We experienced a net loss of $23,754 for the fiscal period ended June 30, 2007, compared to a net loss of $48,096 for the fiscal period ended June 30, 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2007, the Company had cash of $958. Management does not expect that the current level of cash on hand will be sufficient to fund our operation for the next twelve month period. In the event that additional funds are required to maintain operations, our officers and directors have agreed to advance us sufficient capital to allow us to continue operations. We may also be able to obtain loans from our shareholders, but there are no agreements or understandings in place currently.

We believe that we will require additional funding to expand our business and ensure its future profitability. We anticipate that any additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we do not have any agreements in place for any future equity financing. In the event we are not successful in selling our common stock, we may also seek to obtain short-term loans from our director.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

We do not have an audit committee financial expert. We do not have an audit committee financial expert because we believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive.

TORO VENTURES INC.

FINANCIAL STATEMTNS

FOR THE FISCAL PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2007

 

 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Toro Ventures Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Toro Ventures Inc. as at June 30, 2007 and the statements of stockholders' equity, operations and cash flows for the year then ended. 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 audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principals used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 the Company as at June 30, 2007 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with the accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company incurred losses from operations since inception, has not attained profitable operations and is dependent upon obtaining adequate financing to fund its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plan in regards to this matter is also discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

The comparative figures were reported on by another accounting firm.

Notes to Financial Statements

Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2007

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)

1. INCORPORATION AND OPERATING ACTIVITIES 

Toro Ventures Inc. was incorporated on 11 April 2005, under the laws of the State of Nevada, U.S.A. Operations, as a development stage company started on that date, i.e., 11 April 2005. 

At the period end, the Company has entered into an agreement which grants the Company exclusive rights and license in the provinces of Hubei and Beijing, China to own and operate fast food outlets, and/or sell franchises.

Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which assume that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses since inception of $81,412 to June 30, 2007. This factor creates doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Realization values may be substantially different from the carrying values as shown in these financial statements should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management is in the process of identifying sources for additional financing for working capital and to fund the ongoing development of the Company's business, and management proposes to develop plans to continue the business as a going concern.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Foreign Currency Translation

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars at the period end exchange rate, non-monetary assets are translated at historical exchange rates and all income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Foreign currency translation adjustments are included in income.

Loss Per Share

Loss per share has been calculated based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The respective carrying value of certain on-balance sheet financial instruments approximate their fair values. These financial statements include cash, receivables, advances receivable, cheques issued in excess of cash, accounts payable and property obligations payable. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. Unless otherwise noted, fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

Reporting on the costs of start-up activities

Statement of Position 98-5 (SOP 98-5), "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities," which provides guidance on the financial reporting of start-up costs and organizational costs, to be expensed as incurred. SOP 98-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after 15 December 1998. With the adoption of SOP 98-5, there has been little or no effect on the Company's financial statements.

Investment in franchise

The investment in a franchise is considered as an intangible asset with a finite life of 10 years. In accordance to FAS-142, the intangible asset has been evaluated for impairment by using discounted expected cash flows.
