DTS8 COFFEE COMPANY, LTD.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31, 2015
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
DTS8 Coffee Company, Ltd. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 27, 2009. Effective January 22, 2013, the Company changed its name from Berkeley Coffee & Tea, Inc. to DTS8 Coffee Company, Ltd. On April 30, 2012, the Company acquired one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of DTS8 Holdings Co., Ltd. (DTS8 Holdings), a corporation organized and existing since June 2008 under the laws of Hong Kong, and which owns DTS8 Coffee (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (DTS8 Coffee), a wholly owned foreign subsidiary entity (WOFE) corporation organized and existing in Shanghai since January 19, 2009, under the laws of the Peoples Republic of China.
In March 2013, the Company established a 100% owned subsidiary of DTS8 Coffee called DTS8 Coffee (Huzhou) Co. Ltd. (DTS8 Huzhou) in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, China, which is approximately a two hour drive from Shanghai. DTS8 Huzhou is a coffee roaster equipped with the standard procedures to ensure that it meets regulatory requirements for food safety and sanitation in China.
DTS8 Holdings, through its subsidiaries DTS8 Coffee and DTS8 Huzhou, is a gourmet coffee roasting, marketing and wholesale distribution company. The Companys office and coffee storage facility is located in Shanghai, China, and its coffee roasting facility is located in Nanxun Town, Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. The Company is in the business of roasting, marketing and selling gourmet roasted coffee to customers in Shanghai and other parts of China. It sells gourmet roasted coffee under the DTS8 Coffee label and other labels through distribution channels that reach consumers at restaurants, multi-location coffee shops, and offices.
NOTE 2 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conjunction with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), although the Company believes that the disclosures contained in this report are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The consolidated balance sheet information as of April 30, 2015 was derived from the consolidated audited financial statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 31, 2015. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2015, and other reports filed with the SEC.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for these periods are not necessarily comparable to, or indicative of, results of any other interim period or for the fiscal year taken as a whole.
NOTE 3 GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of the business. The Company has incurred material losses from operations. At October 31, 2015, the Company had a working capital deficit of $657,261 in addition to limited cash, limited revenue and unprofitable operations. For the six months ended October 31, 2015, the Company sustained net losses and generated negative cash flows from operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Companys continuation as a going concern is
contingent upon its ability to obtain additional financing and to generate revenue and cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis.
NOTE 4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, DTS8 Holdings Co., Ltd., DTS8 Coffee (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., and DTS8 Coffee (Huzhou) Co. Ltd. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management makes these estimates using the best information available at the time the estimates are made. However, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, adopted January 1, 2008, defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The Companys financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, current receivables and payables, and derivative liabilities. These financial instruments are measured at their respective fair values. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.
The Company has determined that certain convertible notes covered by these financial statements qualifies as derivative financial instruments under the provisions of FASB ASC Topic No. 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging Contracts in an Entitys Own Stock. See Note 7 for more details.
Estimating the fair value of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. The assumptions used to value the Companys derivatives will have a direct effect on the fair values. In addition, valuation techniques are sensitive to changes in the trading market price of the Companys common stock and its estimated volatility and interest rate changes and other variables or market conditions not within the Companys control that can significantly affect managements estimates of fair value and changes in fair value. Because derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair value, the Companys net income may include significant charges or credits as these estimates and assumptions change.
The fair value of the derivative liabilities was determined using the Black-Scholes Model with any change in fair value during the period recorded in earnings as Change in fair value of derivative liabilities. Significant inputs used to calculate the fair value of the derivative liabilities include expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield.
For cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable and accruals, it is managements opinion that the carrying values are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and if applicable, their stated interest rate approximates current rates available.
Management believes it is not practical to estimate the fair value of related party payables because the transactions cannot be assumed to have been consummated at arms length, the terms are not deemed to be market terms, there are no quoted values available for these instruments, and an independent valuation would not be practical due to the lack of data regarding similar instruments, if any, and the associated potential costs.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Companys functional and reporting currency is United States Dollars (USD). The functional currency of the Companys subsidiaries, DTS8 Coffee and DTS8 Huzhou, in the Peoples Republic of China is Chinese currency Renminbi (RMB). Since RMB is not freely convertible into foreign currencies, all foreign exchange transactions involving RMB must take place either through the Peoples Bank of China (the PBOC) or other institutions authorized to buy and sell foreign exchange. The exchange rate adopted for the foreign exchange transactions are the rates of exchange quoted by the PBOC.
The Company maintains its financial statements in the functional currency. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income (loss) for the respective periods.
For financial reporting purposes, the financial statements of the Companys subsidiaries DTS8 Coffee and DTS8 Huzhou in the Peoples Republic of China are maintained in RMB and translated into USD. Balance sheet accounts with the exception of equity are translated using the closing exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, income and expense accounts are translated using the average exchange rate prevailing during the reporting period and the equity accounts were stated at their historical exchange rate.
The exchange rates used for foreign currency translation were as follows (USD$1 = RMB):
Period Covered | Balance Sheet Date Rates | Annual Average Rates |
October 31, 2015 | 6.3495 | 6.2224 |
April 30, 2015 | 6.1137 | 6.1454 |
October 31, 2014 | 6.1675 | 6.1586 |
Net Income (Loss) per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed similar to basic net income (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. If applicable, diluted net income (loss) per share assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all common stock instruments, such as convertible notes, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share.
For the periods presented, the computation of diluted loss per share equaled basic loss per share as the inclusion of any dilutive instruments would have had an anti-dilutive effect on the earnings per share calculation in the periods presented.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The amendments in ASU 2015-11 require an entity to measure in scope inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. The amendments do not apply to inventory that is measured using last-in, first-out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method. The amendments apply to all other inventory, which includes inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2016, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. A reporting entity should apply the amendments prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The adoption of ASU 2015-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. The amendments in ASU 2015-14 defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. The amendments in ASU 2015-16 require that an acquirer recognize adjustments to estimated amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The amendments require that the acquirer record, in the same periods financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the estimated amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The amendments also require an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the estimated amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. The adoption of ASU 2015-16 is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The amendments in ASU 2015-17 eliminates the current requirement for organizations to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, organizations will be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The amendments may be applied prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 6 CONVERTIBLE NOTE
On March 6, 2015, the Company issued a convertible note (Note I) in the amount of $54,000. The note is due together with any interest on December 10, 2015 (the Maturity Date). The Company has to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance of the note at the rate of 8% per annum from March 10, 2015 until the Maturity Date. Any amount of principal or interest on the note which is not paid on the Maturity Date shall bear an interest at the rate of 22% per annum from the due date until the note is paid in full. The holder of the note shall have the right from time to time, and at any time during the period beginning on the date which is 180 days following the date of the note and ending on the later of: (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the date of payment of the note, each in respect of the remaining outstanding principal amount of the note to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of the note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company. The conversion price shall equal, subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Company, 61%
multiplied by the market price of the average of the lowest three trading prices for the common stock during the 10 trading days prior to the conversion date.
In accordance with ASC 815-15, the Company analyzed the conversion option of the note for derivative accounting consideration. The Company determined that the conversion option of the note should be classified as a liability once the conversion option becomes effective after 180 days because there is no limit to the number of shares of common stock to be issued upon conversion of the note.
On September 9, Note I became convertible. On September 18, 2015, the debt holder converted $12,000 of the note into 230,769 common shares at a conversion price of $0.0520 per share. On September 25, 2015, the debt holder converted $15,000 of the note into 260,417 common shares at a conversion price of $0.0576 per share. On September 30, 2015, the debt holder converted $20,000 of the note into 316,456 common shares at a conversion price of $0.0632 per share. On October 7, 2015, the debt holder converted the remaining principal of $7,000 and the accrued interest in the amount of $2,160 into a total number of 152,667 shares at a conversion price of $0.0600. As of October 31, 2015, the balance payable on Note I of $54,000 and accrued interest of $2,160 were fully converted into common stock.
On October 20, 2015, the Company issued two convertible promissory notes with same terms in a total amount of $210,000 (collectively, Note II) with a discount of 5%. The proceeds of $200,000 of the note were not received until October 23, 2015. The note is due together with any interest on April 19, 2015 (the Maturity Date). The Company has to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance of the note at the rate of 10% per annum from October 23, 2015 until the Maturity Date. The outstanding principal and interest at 120% may be redeemed within 90 days of closing and 130% after 90 days. The conversion price shall equal, subject to equitable adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends or rights offerings by the Company, 61% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the common stock during the 15 trading days prior to the conversion date. Upon default, the debt holder shall have the right to convert the note into shares of common stock at an alternative conversion price equal to 50% of the lowest daily VWAP of the common stock during the 20 trading days prior to the conversion date. All overdue accrued and unpaid interest to be paid shall entail a late fee at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law which shall accrue daily from the date such interest is due through and including the date of actual payment in full.
As of October 31, 2015, the balance payable on the convertible note was $210,460 representing the principal amount of $210,000 plus accrued interest of $460.
As described in Note 7, the embedded conversion feature for both Note I and Note II qualified for liability classification at fair value. As a result, the Company recorded debt discounts resulting from derivative liabilities of $54,000 to Note 1 and $200,000 to Note II at the dates the notes became convertible. Due to the excess of the fair value of derivative liabilities over the principal of the notes on the day when the notes became convertible, the Company recorded loss on derivative liabilities in the amount of $292,718. This amount was included in change in fair value of derivative liabilities. In addition, the Company amortized the balance of debt discount of $54,000 associated to the exercise of the conversion option of Note 1.
Amortization of the debt discounts was recorded as a component of interest expense in the accompanying unaudited statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Amortization of debt discounts amounted to $64,500 and $0 for the three and six months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Contractual interest expense for the two convertible notes described in Note 7 amounted to $1,969 and $0 for the six months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Contractual interest expense for the two convertible notes described in Note 7 amounted to $882 and $0 for the three months ended June October 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
NOTE 7 DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND THE FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company issued convertible notes and the conversion option embedded in the convertible notes contains no explicit limit to the number of shares to be issued upon settlement and as a result is classified as a liability under ASC 815 (see Note 6). The Company accounted for the embedded conversion option in accordance with ASC 815-40, which requires the Company to bifurcate the embedded conversion options as liability at the date when it becomes effective and to record changes in fair value relating to the conversion option liability in the statement of operations and comprehensive income as of each subsequent balance sheet date. The debt discount related to the convertible note is amortized over the life of the note using the effective interest method.
The following table sets forth the Companys consolidated financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy as of October 31, 2015. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of inputs that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Companys conversion option liabilities are valued using pricing models and the Company generally uses similar models to value similar instruments. Where possible, the Company verifies the values produced by its pricing models to market prices. Valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, credit spreads, measures of volatility and correlations of such inputs. These consolidated financial liabilities do not trade in liquid markets, and as such, model inputs cannot generally be verified and do involve significant management judgment. Such instruments are typically classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value at the commitment and re-measurement dates for convertible notes that are treated as derivative liabilities with embedded conversion features were based upon the following management assumptions for the six months ended October 31, 2015:

ITEM 2
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
As a fully licensed artisan fresh coffee roaster in China, we are well positioned in Shanghai, China to capitalize on the continued growth in consumption of coffee in China. According to the International Coffee Organization report dated August 10, 2015,the production and consumption of coffee in China have been growing at double-digit rates, and show few signs of slowing. As the economy of China continues to grow, the pool of consumers with disposable income expands and demand for coffee rises accordingly. The presence of coffee shops is no longer a novelty, but rather an essential feature of the urban landscape. China is rapidly developing a taste for coffee.
Chinese consumers are now choosing coffee more by its origin country and flavor, rather than by brand, which is similar to the current trend of coffee consumption habits in Western countries. In China, the expanding coffee culture and the popularity of coffee shops in bigger cities is increasing the awareness and sale of fresh roasted coffee. Supplying gourmet, artisan roasted, coffees, fresh from our roaster located in Huzhou, positions us well in Shanghai to participate in the development and evolution of this new coffee drinking culture in all of China. Fresh, artisan roasted coffee is only available at a limited number of premium food service establishments. The opening of new coffee cafes and fast food restaurants has increased coffee sales in China due to the adoption of modern lifestyles and affluence within the country. The evolution in the taste and buying habits of Chinese consumers is creating opportunities for the continued development of a robust coffee market.
Review of Operations
Sales for the six months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014 were $184,833 compared to $173,839. The increase of approximately 6.3% is attributable to an increase in sales volume to existing and new wholesale customers. Cost of sales were $123,826 and $109,350, respectively, and our gross profits for the six months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014, were $61,007 (33% of sales) $64,489 (37% of sales). The gross margin changes are due to the increased cost of sales resulting from increased raw coffee prices during the period while the occupancy costs remained at same level. Our general and administrative expenses were $758,555 and $490,125 during the six months ended October 31, 2015, and 2014.
Our operating expenses for the six months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014 were $774,582 and $503,960. The increase of $270,622 were mainly due to higher office and administration costs and shares issued at a fair market value of $540,500 for services which were comprised with $342,500 for management and director fees, $6,000 for wages & benefits, $107,000 for consulting fees and $85,000 for legal fees. Our marketing expenses were $15,980 and $13,835 during the six months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014. Our losses for the six months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014 were $821,017 and $439,471, respectively. Consequently, our accumulated loss to October 31, 2015 was $8,688,495.

We incurred accumulated losses of $7,867,478 and our other comprehensive loss from currency translations was $5,731 as of April 30, 2015.
During the period ended October 31, 2015, we financed our operations by selling shares of common stock and issued convertible promissory note. Our ability to continue with our business is subject to our ability to continue generating additional revenue and obtaining equity financing for working capital. To fund our ongoing operations, we may be forced to find alternate sources of financing, which at this time cannot be assured.
As of the date of this Report, we have not incurred any coffee-related research and development expenses and do not plan to incur any research or development expenses in the future.
Going Concern
Our consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred material recurring losses from operations. As of October 31, 2015, we had an accumulated deficit, limited cash and unprofitable operations. These factors, among others, indicate that we may be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may
be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is contingent upon our ability to obtain additional financing and to generate revenue and cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis. Any failure to generate revenue and profits will raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We plan to retain any cash we earn in order to develop our business.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies & Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make a variety of estimates and assumptions that affect (1) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and (2) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods covered by the financial statements. Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions affecting the future resolution of the uncertainties increases, these judgments become even more subjective and complex. Although we believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in estimates and assumptions based upon actual results may have a material impact on our results of operations and/or financial condition. We have identified certain accounting policies that we believe are most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 4 to the financial statements included in this Report.
Revenue Recognition
We derive our revenue from the sale of roasted coffee. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery occurs, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Coffee is considered delivered when title and risk have been transferred to the customer. Retail sales are recorded when payment is tendered at point of sale. Wholesale sales are recorded upon delivery of coffee to the customers.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line or accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The useful lives of property, plant and equipment for purposes of computing depreciation are five to ten years for equipment. We evaluate the recoverability of property and equipment when events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. We determine impairment by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by these assets to their respective carrying amounts. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Replacements and betterments are capitalized. The cost and related reserves of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in results of operations.
Receivables
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the net realizable value and do not bear interest. No allowance for doubtful accounts was made during period based on managements best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable. We evaluate our allowance for doubtful accounts based upon knowledge of our customers and their compliance with credit terms. The evaluation process includes a review of customers accounts on a regular basis. The review process evaluates all account balances with amounts outstanding for 60 days and other specific amounts for which information obtained indicates that the balance may be uncollectible. As at October 31, 2015 and April 30, 2015, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts. We do not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to our customers.

QUANTITAIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
ITEM 4
CONTROL AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Controls and Procedures
We evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, being October 31, 2015. This evaluation was conducted with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal accounting officer.
Disclosure controls are those controls and other procedures designed to ensure information we are required to disclose in the reports we file pursuant to the Exchange Act is correctly recorded, processed, summarized and reported. We maintain a system of internal accounting controls that is designed to provide reasonable assurance assets are safeguarded and transactions are executed and properly recorded in accordance with managements authorization. This system is continually reviewed and augmented by written policies and procedures, the careful selection and training of qualified personnel and an internal audit program to monitor its effectiveness.
Our management does not expect our disclosure controls or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance the objectives of a control system are met. Further, any control system reflects limitations on resources, and the benefits of a control system must be considered relative to its costs. These limitations also include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of a control. A design of a control system is also based upon certain assumptions about potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Based upon their evaluation of our controls over financial reporting, as required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our principal executive officer and principal accounting officer have concluded that our disclosure controls are, and will be, effective in providing reasonable assurance that material information relating to us is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer(s), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were no changes in our internal controls that occurred during the quarter covered by this Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
