NOTE 1 – ORGNIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization and Description of Business

Precious Investments, Inc. (Formerly FIGO Ventures, Inc.) (‘The Company’) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 26, 2004. The Company was an Exploration Stage Company with the principle business being the acquisition and exploration of resource properties.

 

The Company had allowed its charter with the state of Nevada to be revoked by the Secretary of State for failure to file the required annual lists and pay the required annual fees. Its last known officers and directors reflected in the records of the Secretary of State were unresponsive or stated they were no longer involved with the Company. The purported replacement officers and directors were unresponsive.

 

On September 14, 2012, NPNC Management, LLC filed a petition in the Eighth Judicial District Court in Clark County, Nevada and was appointed custodian of the Company on October 15, 2012.

 

In order to obtain basic operating capital to pay for the reinstatement of the Company’s good standing with the Nevada Secretary of State, to bring the Company’s account current with creditors essential for the reorganization of the Company, such as the transfer agent, and for basic general corporate purposes, on October 24, 2012, the interim board authorized the sale of 55,000,000 (2,200,000 split adjusted) shares of common stock for $6,000 to NPNC Management, LLC, in a private placement transaction exempt from the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to section 4(2) thereof and the rules and regulations promulgated there under.

 

On October 24, 2012, NPNC Management, LLC appointed Bryan Clark as director of the Company, to hold office until such time as the shareholders elected a board. The interim board, consisting of Mr. Clark, further acted to appoint Mr. Clark as president, treasurer, and secretary of the Company, to act on behalf of the Company, and to hold such offices until removed by any subsequent board elected by the shareholders.

 

On November 13, 2013, Bryan Clark tendered his resignation from all positions as an Officer and Director of the Company and the Board appointed Anna Wlodarkiewicz as a Director, President, Secretary and Treasurer of the Company.

 

Basis of Presentation

These financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, as reported on our fiscal period ending on October 31, 2015. The Company has summarized its most significant accounting policies.

 

Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements

These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statement and should be read in conjunction with those annual financial statements filed on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2015. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed interim financial statements reflect adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year or for any future period.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 1 – ORGNIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.

 

The Company reviews the terms of convertible loans, equity instruments and other financing arrangements to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. Also, in connection with the issuance of financing instruments, the Company may issue freestanding options or warrants to employees and non-employees in connection with consulting or other services. These options or warrants may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity.

 

Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. To the extent that the initial fair values of the freestanding and/or bifurcated derivative instrument liabilities exceed the total proceeds received an immediate charge to income is recognized in order to initially record the derivative instrument liabilities at their fair value.

 

The discount from the face value of the convertible debt or equity instruments resulting from allocating some or all of the proceeds to the derivative instruments, together with the stated rate of interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income, using the effective interest method.

 

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. If reclassification is required, the fair value of the derivative instrument, as of the determination date, is reclassified. Any previous charges or credits to income for changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are not reversed. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of its liabilities. The carrying amount of payables and the loan payable – related party approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The promissory notes, and convertible notes are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, which approximates fair value due to the relationship between the interest rate on long-term debt and the Company’s incremental risk adjusted borrowing rate.

 

Inventories

Inventories consist of loose colored diamonds acquired during the quarter (See Note 7) and are stated at the lower of cost or market. We write-down inventory once it has been determined that conditions exist that may not allow the inventory to be sold for its intended purpose or the inventory is determined to be excess or obsolete based on our forecasted future sales. The charge related to inventory write-downs is recorded as a cost of revenue.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The accounting standard is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The impact on the condensed interim financial statements of adopting ASU 2014-09 will be assessed by management.

NOTE 1 – ORGNIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

 

On August 27, 2014, the FASB issued a new financial accounting standard on going concern, ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Sub-Topic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” The standard provides guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is a substantial doubt about the organization’s ability to continue as a going concern. The amendments in this Update apply to all companies. They become effective in the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, with early application permitted. The impact on the condensed interim financial statements of adopting ASU 2014-15 will be assessed by management.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed interim financial statements.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As of October 31, 2015, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $1,823,340. Which is a condition that causes material uncertainty that cast significant doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful completion of additional financing arrangements and the Company’s ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations. While the Company is expanding its best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.

 

NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE MEASURMENTS

 

The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s fair value measurements at October 31, 2015 and July 31, 2015:

NOTE 5 - CONVERTIBLE DEBT

 

Convertible debt as of October 31, 2015 and July 31, 2015 consisted of the following:

 

Description		October 31, 2015				July 31, 2015
Convertible note agreement dated January 11, 2007, of up to $1,000,000. Bearing interest at 10% per annum, originally scheduled to mature on January 11, 2009. Convertible by Lender at its sole option into units in the capital stock such that for each $0.40 of principal outstanding at the time of conversion may be converted into one unit consisting of one common share and one non-transferable share purchase warrant exercisable for a period of up to two years from the date of conversion. Each warrant shall entitle the Lender to purchase an additional common share of the Company at $0.60 during the term of the warrants. The remaining unamortized discount applicable to this note at October 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014 was zero.		$	289,140			$	289,140
Convertible note agreements (3) dated November 1, 2013, totaling $45,000. Maturing on November 30, 2015 bearing interest at 12% per annum. Principal and accrued interest is convertible at $.00225 per share. The beneficial conversion feature was recorded as a discount to the debt and is being amortized over the term of the notes using an effective interest rate of 32%.			27,056				27,056
Convertible note agreements (3) dated August 10, 2015, totaling $4,000,000. Maturing on August 9, 2016 bearing interest at 6% per annum. Principal and accrued interest is convertible at $.247 per share. The beneficial conversion feature was recorded as a discount to the debt and is being amortized over the term of the notes using an effective interest rate of approximately 9%. (See note 7)			4,000,000				-
Less: unamortized discount			(3,701,434	)			(3,910	)
Convertible notes, net of discount			614,762				312,285

 

The Company does not have a copy of the Convertible note agreement dated January 11, 2007.  Neither the Note nor the name of the lender are found in our public filings. The Company has taken significant efforts to locate a copy of the Note to no avail.  The Company contacted the prior auditor, Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton Labonte LLP, which audited our July 31, 2008 and 2007 financial statements found in our 10-KSB for the year ended July 31, 2008.  After conducting a search, Dale Matheson informed us that they do not have a copy of the Note.   Despite not having a copy of the Note, the material terms of the note were contained in our prior financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2008, and those terms are sufficient for all material purposes to accurately present our current financial statements. The Note matured on January 11, 2009 and the statute of limitations ran on January 11, 2015. As such, the Company cannot file a copy of the Note, but believe the present circumstances warrant a departure from the requirements of Item 601 of Regulation S-K.

 

During the three months ended October 31, 2015, the Company recognized $302,477 (October 31, 2014 - $3,305) of accretion expense on the above notes. Interest expense related to these notes for the three months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014 was $61,312 and $942, respectively.

 

NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

A shareholder of the Company has paid certain expenses of the Company. These amounts are reflected as a loan payable to related party. The shareholder advanced $4,957 and $0 as of October 31, 2015 and July 31, 2015, respectively.

NOTE 7 – DIAMOND PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

On August 10 2015, the Company entered into a Diamond Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Kashif Khan (“Khan”), a arm’s length party. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company acquired from Khan colored diamonds (the “Assets”) for three demand secured convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $4,000,000. The Notes have the following features:

 

Note A

 

Note A is in the principal amount of $1.7 million, accrues interest at 6% per annum and matures: a) within 20 business days of a receipt of written demand from the holder for payment of all of the Notes, provided that i) the Company has not raised $5 million in debt or equity financing before written demand was tendered or any portion of Note was converted into shares of the Company’s common stock; or b) in all other cases, thirty-six months from the issuance of Note A.

 

Upon written demand for payment, the Company may either pay all principal and accrued interest on the Notes or return the Assets to the holder to fulfill all obligations.

 

The holder may convert the principal and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.247386975 per share up to a maximum conversion allowance of 6,871,825 shares. If the Company raises $5 million in debt or equity financing or if the holder converts any portion of Note A, then Note A will automatically convert at maturity into a total of 6,871,825 shares of the Company’s common stock. If we prepay Notes B and C, however, then the conversion price will adjust to $0.105139464 per share for a total conversion allowance of 16,169,000 shares.

 

The Company may not prepay Note A and it is secured by $1,700,000 worth of the Assets.

 

Note B

 

Note B is in the principal amount of $1.15 million, accrues interest at 6% per annum and matures: a) within 20 business days of a receipt of written demand from the holder for payment of all of the Notes, provided that i) the Company has not raised $5 million in debt or equity financing before written demand was tendered or any portion of Note B was converted into shares of the Company’s common stock; or b) in all other cases, thirty-six months from the issuance of Note B.

 

Upon written demand for payment, the Company may either pay all principal and accrued interest on the Notes or return the Assets to the holder to fulfill all obligations.

 

The holder may convert the principal and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.247386975 per share up to a maximum conversion allowance of 4,648,588 shares. If the Company raises $5 million in debt or equity financing or if the holder converts any portion of Note B, then Note B will automatically convert at maturity into a total of 4,648,588 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The Company may prepay all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest under Note B, provided that the Company also prepays all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest of Note C. Note B is secured by $1,150,000 worth of the Assets.

 

Note C

 

Note C is in the principal amount of $1.15 million, accrues interest at 6% per annum and matures: a) within 20 business days of a receipt of written demand from the holder for payment of all of the Notes, provided that i) the Company has not raised $5 million in debt or equity financing before written demand was tendered or any portion of Note was converted into shares of the Company’s common stock; or b) in all other cases, thirty-six months from the issuance of Note C.

NOTE 7 – DIAMOND PURCHASE AGREEMENT (CONT’D)

 

Upon written demand for payment, the Company may either pay all principal and accrued interest on the Notes or return the Assets to the holder to fulfill all obligations.

 

The holder may convert the principal and accrued interest into shares of our common stock at $0.247386975 per share up to a maximum conversion allowance of 4,648,588. If the Company raises $5 million in debt or equity financing or if the holder converts any portion of Note B, then Note C will automatically convert at maturity into a total of 4,648,588 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The Company may prepay all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest under Note C, provided that the Company also prepay all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest of Note B. Note C is secured by $1,150,000 worth of the Assets.

 

Also, as provided in the Agreement, our officer and director, Natalya Hearn, agreed to transfer her 250,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Khan. Under the Agreement, these shares of Series A Preferred Stock will cancel and return to treasury upon Khan converting the Notes into 51% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. Also, if Kahn demands payment of the Notes, then the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will cancel and return to treasury.

 

The Company also agreed to appoint two nominees of Khan to the board of directors and to register 7,500,000 shares of common stock converted from existing notes along with remaining shares of common stock underlying convertible notes. The Notes in favor of Khan do not have registration rights.

 

The Company has determined that the asset acquired did not meet the definition of a business as defined in ASC 805 and as such the transaction was treated as an asset acquisition and the diamonds are shown on the Company’s balance sheet as inventory.

 

In measuring the Notes, it was determined that they contained a beneficial conversion feature, which upon measurement resulted in the full amount of the proceeds being allocated entirely to the beneficial conversion feature.

 

NOTE 8 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

On September 18, 2015, the Company issued 1,000 unit consisting of one share and one warrant of stock for $2,000 cash.

 

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigations, Claims and Assessments

 

The Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise that may harm its business. The Company is currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that they believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or operating results.

 

On October 1, 2015, we entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Gulf Peal Ltd. and goNumerical Ltd. (the “Consulting Firms”). We wish to create and sell a cryptocurrency backed by our colored diamonds. To achieve this goal, we have engaged the Consulting Firms under the terms of the MOU to develop and help with the crowdsale of BitGem cryptocurrency.

 

Under the MOU, we are to provide an asset pool comprised of colored diamonds with a total appraised retail value of $5,000,000 that will be deposited into a fund at a listing price of 100% of retail. We will release $5,000,000 BitGem tokens for sale at a price of $1 each.

 

We will receive proceeds of the BitGem tokens from sales that occur on the BitGem platform. This website, which is developed and expected to launch in December of 2015, will include a catalog of the diamonds in the fund, a discussion forum and a section for the BitGem crowdsale. The crowdsale section provides instructions on how crowd members are to purchase BitGem tokens.

 

The Consulting Firms will coordinate with the crowd members for the purchase of BitGem tokens and send us the proceeds less a percentage for the Consulting Firms. For the first 2,000,000 tokens sold, the Consulting Firms shall keep 15% of any proceeds of the BitGems crowdsale as commission. For the remaining tokens (the last three million tokens) the Consulting Firms shall keep 10% of any proceeds of the BitGems crowdsale as commission.

 

As part of the remuneration to the Consulting Firms, each of the Consulting Firms shall receive 500,000 shares of our common stock, with vesting as follows:

 

	●	125,000 shares shall vest upon the signing of the MOU (have not yet been granted but are expected to be granted and issued subsequently);
	●	125,000 shares shall vest upon the completion and successful test run of the bitgems website that will serve as the platform market for the tokens;
	●	125,000 shares shall vest upon public launch of the crowdsale market; and
	●	125,000 shares shall vest upon successfully selling 500,000 BitGem tokens.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

 

Company Overview

 

We have completed an asset purchase agreement dated August 10, 2015 where we acquired from Kashif Khan colored diamonds with a wholesale value of US$4 Million, which he was in control of, in exchange for issuing three secured demand convertible promissory notes totaling US$4 Million. We now plan to incorporate a wholly owned subsidiary to be run by Mr. Khan for the sole purpose of trading in the colored diamond market.

 

We plan to manage a portfolio of rare colored diamonds that are selected for both long-term price-per share potential and short-term active trading margin.

 

We intend to bring transparency, technology and experience to this hard-asset sector, providing a unique opportunity to investors to participate in the gains of what has traditionally been inaccessible until now.

 

On October 1, 2015, we entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Gulf Peal Ltd. and goNumerical Ltd. (the “Consulting Firms”). We wish to create and sell a cryptocurrency backed by our colored diamonds. To achieve this goal, we have engaged the Consulting Firms under the terms of the MOU to develop and help with the crowdsale of BitGem cryptocurrency.

 

Under the MOU, we are to provide an asset pool comprised of colored diamonds with a total appraised retail value of $5,000,000 that will be deposited into a fund at a listing price of 100% of retail. We will release $5,000,000 BitGem tokens for sale at a price of $1 each.

 

We will receive proceeds of the BitGem tokens from sales that occur on the BitGem platform. This website, which is developed and expected to launch in December of 2015, will include a catalog of the diamonds in the fund, a discussion forum and a section for the BitGem crowdsale. The crowdsale section provides instructions on how crowd members are to purchase BitGem tokens.

 

The Consulting Firms will coordinate with the crowd members for the purchase of BitGem tokens and send us the proceeds less a percentage for the Consulting Firms. For the first 2,000,000 tokens sold, the Consulting Firms shall keep 15% of any proceeds of the BitGems crowdsale as commission. For the remaining tokens (the last three million tokens) the Consulting Firms shall keep 10% of any proceeds of the BitGems crowdsale as commission.

 

As part of the remuneration to the Consulting Firms, each of the Consulting Firms shall receive 500,000 shares of our common stock, with vesting as follows:

 

	●	125,000 shares shall vest upon the signing of the MOU (have not yet been granted but are expected to be granted and issued subsequently);
	●	125,000 shares shall vest upon the completion and successful test run of the bitgems website that will serve as the platform market for the tokens;
	●	125,000 shares shall vest upon public launch of the crowdsale market; and
	●	125,000 shares shall vest upon successfully selling 500,000 BitGem tokens.

 

We are able to add new assets to the fund to generate additional BitGem tokens for sale in the market under the procedure outlined in the MOU.

 

 

We are required to pay for all expenses not related to the platform development, including legal fees, newsletters, infrastructure fees, paid advertising and all third party marketing services.

 

We plan to launch our Bitgem business with funds that we have available. We recently conducted a small offering and raised roughly US$30,000. We will need to raise US$10 million in the issuance of securities in order to grow our business. Upon securing funds, we plan to execute on a 12-month business strategy, which we hope will see a positive cash flow in the years to follow.

 

Our fiscal year end is July 31. Our principal offices are located at 133 Richmond Street West, Suite 310 Toronto, Ontario M5H-2L3. Our phone number is 416-878-3377.

 

Results of Operation for Three Months Ended October 31, 2015 and 2014

 

Revenues

 

We have generated no revenues since our inception. We do not expect to achieve revenues until we implement our colored diamond business.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses decreased to $15,209 for the three months ended October 31, 2015 from $55,478 for the three months ended October 31, 2014. Our operating expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2015 consisted mainly of professional fees of $10,252 and general and administrative expenses of $4,957. Our expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2014 consisted of general and administrative expenses of $55,478.

 

We expect that our operating expenses will increase as we undertake our plan of operations, as outlined above.

 

Other Expenses

 

We had other expenses of $364,286 for the three months ended October 31, 2015, compared with other expenses of $4,744 for the three months ended October 31, 2014. Other expenses for both periods were a result of interest expenses.

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss for the three months ended October 31, 2015 was $379,495 compared to net loss of $60,222 for the three months ended October 31, 2014.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of October 31, 2015, we had current assets of $4,000,250 consisting of our colored diamond inventory. Our total current liabilities as of October 31, 2015 were $903,515. We therefore had working capital of $3,096,735 as of October 31, 2015.

 

Operating activities used $6,957 in cash for the three months ended October 31, 2015. Our net loss of $379,495 was the main component of our negative operating cash flow, offset mainly by an amortization of debt discount of $302,477.

 

As outlined above, we will need to raise US$10 million in the issuance of securities in order to grow our business. We intend to fund operations through increased sales and debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund expenditures or other cash requirements. We plan to seek additional financing in a private equity offering to secure funding for operations. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funding. If we are not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of our business plan will be impaired. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of October 31, 2015, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

 

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

 

Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As of October 31, 2015, we have an accumulated deficit of $1,823,340. Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful completion of additional financing arrangements and our ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations. While we are expanding our best efforts to achieve the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  

 

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.

 

The Company reviews the terms of convertible loans, equity instruments and other financing arrangements to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. Also, in connection with the issuance of financing instruments, the Company may issue freestanding options or warrants to employees and non-employees in connection with consulting or other services. These options or warrants may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity.

 

Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. To the extent that the initial fair values of the freestanding and/or bifurcated derivative instrument liabilities exceed the total proceeds received an immediate charge to income is recognized in order to initially record the derivative instrument liabilities at their fair value.

 

The discount from the face value of the convertible debt or equity instruments resulting from allocating some or all of the proceeds to the derivative instruments, together with the stated rate of interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income, using the effective interest method.

 

The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. If reclassification is required, the fair value of the derivative instrument, as of the determination date, is reclassified. Any previous charges or credits to income for changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are not reversed. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of its liabilities. The carrying amount of payables and the loan payable – related party approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The promissory notes, and convertible notes are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, which approximates fair value due to the relationship between the interest rate on long-term debt and the Company’s incremental risk adjusted borrowing rate.

 

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, as of October 31, 2015, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of October 31, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses identified and described below.

 

Our principal executive officers do not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Although our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our principal executive officers have determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at doing so, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

 

Remediation Plan to Address the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management identified the following three material weaknesses that have caused management to conclude that, as of October 31, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial reporting, were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:

 

	1.	We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as of the period ending October 31, 2015. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
	2.	We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
	3.	Effective controls over the control environment were not maintained. Specifically, a formally adopted written code of business conduct and ethics that governs our employees, officers, and directors was not in place. Additionally, management has not developed and effectively communicated to employees its accounting policies and procedures. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, our Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.

 

To address these material weaknesses, management performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that the financial statements included herein fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

To remediate the material weakness in our documentation, evaluation and testing of internal controls we plan to engage a third-party firm to assist us in remedying this material weakness once resources become available.

 

We intend to remedy our material weakness with regard to insufficient segregation of duties by hiring additional employees in order to segregate duties in a manner that establishes effective internal controls once resources become available.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report, the period ended October 31, 2015, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
