PART I

 

Item 1. Business

 

Company Overview

 

Until recently, we have been in the business of purchasing and selling colored diamonds and other valuables. We planned to manage a portfolio of rare colored diamonds that were selected for price potential.

Since the initiation of our plan of operations, however, we have experienced losses and have been unable to obtain significant additional finances to further our colored diamond business. In order to pursue our business plan, we would need to obtain additional funding in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock or loans. Unfortunately, we have not been able to identify sources of equity financing and do not have any arrangements in place for any future financing.

Because of the difficulties in raising additional funding, we have been presented with the difficult task of re-evaluating our business plan to determine whether it continues to be commercially viable. As a result of our lack of progress so far, the uncertainty regarding the source of our required additional funding and the relatively risky overall nature of our enterprise, management has been evaluating alternative business opportunities.

 

On November 16, 2017, we entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with American Freight Xchange, Inc., a privately held New York corporation (“American Freight”), and Shipzooka Acquisition Corp. (“Shipzooka Sub”), our newly formed wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary. In connection with the closing of this merger transaction, Shipzooka Sub merged with and into American Freight (the “Merger”) on November 16, 2017, with the filing of Articles of Merger with the Nevada Secretary of State and Certificate of Merger with the New York Division of Corporations.

 

In addition, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement:

 

Each share of American Freight common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger was converted into the right to receive 73,000,000 shares of our Series C Preferred Stock. As a result, the shareholders of American Freight received 1,000,000 newly issued shares of our Series C Preferred Stock.

 

For a period of 12 months from the Closing Date of the Merger, we agreed that no new convertible instruments will be issued that would cause outstanding shares to be issued below a $20 million market cap. In addition, for the same period of time, we are permitted to issue up to and no more than 145 million shares of common stock or convertible securities that convert up to and no more than 145 million shares of common stock. Moreover, any such issuance can only be made to acquire another business entity and for no other reason. However, if we receive permission from the majority of the minority shareholders, then this restriction may be waived. In addition, the number of shares of common stock that we can issue depends on the number of shares exercised from outstanding warrants, as follows:

 

§

If 75%-100% of the warrants are exercised then we can issue up to 145 million shares of common stock.

§

If 50%-74% of the warrants are exercised then we can issue up to 133,750,000 shares of common stock.

§

If 25%-49% of the warrants are exercised then we can issue up to 122,500,000 shares of common stock.

§

If 0%-24% of the warrants are exercised then we can issue up to 111,250,000 shares of common stock.

 

American Freight provided customary representations and warranties and closing conditions, including approval of the Merger by a unanimous vote of its board of directors and voting stockholders.

 

Spin-Out of Assets

 

At the same time as the Merger, we entered into an Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Assets (the “Conveyance Agreement”) with our prior officer and director, Kashif Khan, along with shareholders Faeghen

 

 

Niakab, and Parand Bioukzadeh and joint venture partner, Eddeb Management. Pursuant to the Conveyance Agreement, we transferred all assets and business operations associated with our colored diamond business and joint venture, Flawless Fund GP Inc., to the other parties to the agreement. In exchange, Mr. Khan, Mr. Niakab and Mr. Bioukzadeh agreed to cancel 16,000,000 shares in our company and to assume up to $100,000 in liabilities relating to our former business.

 

This transaction was fully disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 5, 2017.

 

We intend to carry on the business of American Freight, as our primary line of business. We have relocated our principal executive offices to 170 Traders Blvd East, Mississaugua, Ontario L4Z 1W7, and our telephone number is 631-994-3242.

 

In the near future, we intend to change our name to American Freight Xchange, Inc. or something similar, which is more in line with our new business direction.

 

American Freight Xchange, Inc. is an integrated 3PO and logistics company. We are engaged in the business of the fulfillment of e-commerce transportation and logistics for third parties.

 

American Freight Xchange, Inc. manages the entire “logistics process”. Our freight management program obtains the most effective combination of rates, carriers, tracking and service points to pick up returned products from store and distribution center levels with centralized billing, auditing and claims capabilities.

 

American Freight Xchange, Inc., through our wholly owned subsidiary KRG Logistics, Inc. has the expertise to manage all the manufacturers and retailers shipping. Due to our strategic placement in the supply chain relative to the manufacturers and retailers or distributors position, we are best suited to offer these services. American Freight Xchange, Inc. customizes freight management and fulfillment programs that provide manufacturers and retailers with the most cost-effective services from the moment the shipment authorization is issued to the time the product is shipped and received.

 

Our Business

 

We are both a less-than-truckload (“LTL”) and a Third-Party Logistics (“3PL”) carrier, providing regional, inter-regional and national and international LTL and or 3PL services. These include arranging for ground and air expedited transportation and consumer household pickup and delivery (“P&D”), through a single integrated organization. In addition to our core LTL services, we offer a range of value-added services which cover different areas, such as, truckload brokerage, supply chain consulting and warehousing and pick and ship services.

 

We believe the growth in demand for our services can be attributed to our ability to consistently provide a superior level of customer service at a fair price, which allows our customers to meet their supply chain needs. Our integrated structure allows us to offer our customers consistent high-quality service from origin to destination, and we believe our operating structure and proprietary information systems enable us to efficiently manage our operating costs. Our services are complemented by our technological capabilities, which we believe provide the tools to improve the efficiency of our operations while also empowering our customers to manage their individual shipping needs.

 

Our Industry

 

Trucking companies provide transportation services to virtually every industry operating in the United States and Canada, and around the world. The trucking industry is comprised principally of two types of motor carriers: LTL and truckload. LTL freight carriers typically pick up multiple shipments from multiple customers on a single truck. The LTL freight is then routed through a network of service centers where the freight may be transferred to other trucks with similar destinations. LTL motor carriers generally require a more expansive network of local P&D service centers, as well as larger breakbulk, or hub, facilities. In contrast, truckload carriers generally dedicate an entire truck to one customer from origin to destination. According to the American Trucking Associations, the trucking industry accounted for 79.8% of the $847.6 billion total U.S. transportation revenue in 2016. In 2016, the entire LTL sector had revenue of approximately $54.7 billion. This represented 6.5% of the total U.S. transportation revenue for the year.

 

 

3PL provides logistics and supply chain management for other companies. It is used to outsource elements of the company’s distribution and fulfillment services. The global 3PL market reached $750 billion in 2014 and grew to $157 billion in the US. Furthermore, demand growth for 3PL services in the US outpaced the growth of the US economy in 2014. As of 2014, 80 percent of all Fortune 500 companies and 96 of the Fortune 100 used some form of 3PL services.

 

Competition

 

The transportation and logistics industry overall is extremely competitive and highly fragmented. We compete with many regional, inter-regional and national LTL carriers and 3PL provider, and, to a lesser extent, with truckload carriers, small package carriers, airfreight carriers and railroads.

 

We utilize flexible scheduling and train our employees to perform multiple tasks, which we believe allows us to achieve greater productivity and higher levels of customer service than our competitors. We believe our focus on employee communication, continued education, development and motivation strengthens the relationships and trust among our employees.

 

Both the LTL and 3PL industry is highly competitive on the basis of service and price and has consolidated significantly since the industry was deregulated in 1980. Based on 2016 revenue as reported in Transport Topics, the largest 10 and 25 LTL motor carriers accounted for approximately 51% and 62%, respectively, of the total LTL market.

 

We believe we are able to gain market share by expanding our capacity and providing high-quality service at a fair price.

 

Government Regulations

 

We do not require any government approval in order to operate our business. In the event any of our operations or products requires government approval, we will comply with any and all local, state and federal requirements.

Other than federal and state securities laws and common business and tax rules and regulations, we are not subject to any material government regulation. However, there is a risk that we could be adversely affected by current laws, regulations or interpretations or that more restrictive laws, regulations or interpretations will be adopted in the future that could make compliance more difficult or expensive. There is also a risk that a change in current laws could adversely affect our business.

In addition, regulatory authorities have relatively broad discretion to grant, renew and revoke licenses and approvals and to implement regulations. Accordingly, such regulatory authorities could prevent or temporarily suspend us from carrying on some or all of our activities or otherwise penalize us if our practices were found not to comply with the then current regulatory or licensing requirements or any interpretation of such requirements by the regulatory authority. Our failure to comply with any of these requirements or interpretations could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

 

Environmental Laws and Regulations

Our operations are not subject to any environmental laws or regulations.

 

Available Information

 

We file various reports with the SEC, including Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, which are available through the SEC's electronic data gathering, analysis and retrieval system (“EDGAR”) by accessing the SEC's home page (http://www.sec.gov). The documents are also available to be read or copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room located at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, D.C., 20549. Information on the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.

 

Item 1A: Risk Factors

 

Because we have a limited operating history, you may not be able to accurately evaluate our operations.

 

We have had limited operations to date and have generated only a small amount of revenue from the sale of our colored diamonds. Therefore, we have a limited operating history upon which to evaluate the merits of investing in our company. Because we are in the early stages of operating our freight logistics business, we are subject to many of the same risks inherent in the operation of a business with a limited operating history, including the potential inability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our investors may lose their entire investment because our financial status creates a doubt whether we will continue as a going concern.

 

Our auditors, in their opinion dated March 28, 2018, have stated that currently we do not have sufficient cash, nor do we have a significant source of revenues to cover our operational costs and allow us to continue as a going concern.  We may seek to raise operating capital to implement our business plan in an offering of our common stock.

 

Because we are dependent on outside financing for continuation of our operations, the failure to obtain financing will adversely affect our business and its growth.

 

Because we have generated only a small amount of revenue and currently operate at a significant loss, we are completely dependent on the continued availability of financing in order to continue our business. There can be no assurance that financing sufficient to enable us to continue our operations will be available to us in the future. Moreover, even if we are able to obtain financing, it could be on terms that causes our company’s stock price to suffer or further dilutes shareholder interests in our company. Most of our financing to date has been from the issuance of debt and the sale of equity in our company. Our failure to obtain future financing, financing on terms that are acceptable to us, or to produce levels of revenue to meet our financial needs could result in our inability to continue as a going concern and, as a result, investors in our company could lose their entire investment. The company currently needs additional capital for the next twelve months to allow the expansion of operations. Pursuant to the Warrants described in Item 1, above, we anticipate that a large portion of the additional capital needed may be raised from the exercise of said Warrants. There is no assurance that the Warrants will in fact be exercised. This money is needed to secure necessary human capital and to implement our marketing and distribution plans as well as potential acquisitions and expanding our on-line operations. If we are unable to raise this capital, may not be able to implement our expansion plans.

 

Our future success is dependent on our implementation of our business plan and we have many significant steps still to take.

 

Our success will depend in large part in our success in achieving several important steps in the implementation of our business plan, including the following: development of customers, implementing order processing and customer service capabilities, and management of business process. If we are not successful, we will not be able to fully implement or expand our business plan.

 

Because our future revenues are unpredictable, and we expect our operating results to fluctuate from period to period.

 

Our lack of operating history and the emerging nature of the markets in which we expect to compete make it difficult for us to accurately forecast revenues in any given period. As such, revenues could fall short of our expectations if we experience production delays or difficulties. Likewise, revenues could fall short of expectations should our product not be met with the demand we anticipate from the marketplace. We have limited experience in financial planning for our business on which to base our planned operating expenses.

 

 

Our operating results are likely to fluctuate substantially from period to period as a result of a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

• Outside market influences beyond our control, including extended periods of decreased demand for freight logistics services;
• Our ability to enter into successful strategic relationships;
• Our ability to attract purchasers and/or distributors;
• The amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to expansion of production operations;
• The rate at which individuals and organizations accept our services in the marketplace;
• An announcement or introduction of new or enhanced services by our competitors;
• Our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; and
• Pricing policies instituted by our current and possible future competitors.

We have generated limited revenue to date and consequently our operations are subject to all risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. We are currently generating limited revenues and expect to continue to generate revenue in the future, but there can be no assurances that we will ever generate sufficient revenues to achieve profitability. If we do achieve profitability, there can be no assurances that we can sustain or increase profitability.

 

We may not be able to increase sales or otherwise successfully operate our business, which could have a significant negative impact on our financial condition.

 

We believe that the key to our success is to increase our revenues and available cash. We may not have the resources required to promote our business and its potential benefits. If we are unable to gain market acceptance of our business, we will not be able to generate enough revenue to achieve and maintain profitability or to continue our operations.

 

We may not be able to increase our sales or effectively operate our business. To the extent we are unable to achieve sales growth, we may continue to incur losses. We may not be successful or make progress in the growth and operation of our business. Our current and future expense levels are based on operating plans and estimates of future sales and revenues and are subject to increase as strategies are implemented. Even if our sales grow, we may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall.

 

Further, if we substantially increase our operating expenses to increase sales and marketing, and such expenses are not subsequently followed by increased revenues, our operating performance and results would be adversely affected and, if sustained, could have a material adverse effect on our business. To the extent we implement cost reduction efforts to align our costs with revenue, our sales could be adversely affected.

 

Because we have had significant turnover in key management personnel, we may not have the leadership and personnel with expertise to guide us to profitable operations.

 

We have had significant turnover in our executive officers. Our success depends in part upon our ability to retain the services of certain executive officers and other key employees and on the skills, experience and performance of senior management and certain other key personnel, most of whom have either never worked together or who have worked together for only a short period of time.

 

We are presently dependent to a great extent upon the experience, abilities and continued services of Ronald Shapss and James Zimbler, our officers and directors. If they should resign or die we will not have a leader to fill these important roles. If that should occur, until we find another person to serve in those capacities our operations could be suspended as we would not have access to the aforementioned relationships with suppliers. In that event it is possible you could lose most if not all of your entire investment.

 

 

The loss of the services of our executive officers or other key employees would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Because we are in the early stages of commercialization, we are also dependent on our ability to recruit, retain and motivate personnel with technical, sales and marketing experience. There are a limited number of personnel with these qualifications and competition for such personnel may be intense. Our inability to attract, integrate and retain additional qualified key personnel would materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

Our success depends upon achieving a critical mass of customers and strategic relationships.

 

Our success is largely dependent upon achieving significant market acceptance for our services. The market for our services is at an early stage of development. Our services and brand name may never achieve broad market acceptance, or our existing and potential competitors may offer services that could negatively affect the market acceptance of our services and damage our business prospects.

 

Our success is also dependent upon attracting significant numbers of distributors and strategic relationships in order to market our services. In particular, our ability to enter into beneficial distribution partnerships will depend in large part upon our success in convincing consumers that our serviecs is of a desired quality. Failure to achieve and maintain a critical mass of market acceptance will seriously harm our business in the markets in which we participate or intend to participate.

 

The current and future state of the global economy may curtail our operations and our anticipated revenues.

 

Our business may be adversely affected by changes in domestic and international economic conditions, including inflation, changes in consumer preferences and changes in consumer spending rates, personal bankruptcy and the ability to collect our accounts receivable. Changes in global economic conditions may adversely affect the demand for our merchandise and make it more difficult to collect accounts receivable, thereby negatively affecting our business, operating results and financial condition. The recent disruptions in credit and other financial markets and deterioration of national and global economic conditions could, among other things, impair the financial condition of some of our customers and suppliers, thereby increasing customer bad debts or non-performance by suppliers.

 

Natural disasters, armed hostilities, terrorism, labor strikes or public health issues could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Armed hostilities, terrorism, natural disasters, or public health issues, whether in the United States or abroad could cause damage and disruption to our company, our suppliers, our manufacturers, or our customers or could create political or economic instability, any of which could have a material adverse impact on our business. Although it is impossible to predict the consequences of any such events, they could result in a decrease in demand for our product or create delay or inefficiencies in our supply chain by making it difficult or impossible for us to deliver products to our customers, or for our manufacturers to deliver products to us, or suppliers to provide component parts

 

We operate in a highly competitive environment, and if we are unable to compete with our competitors, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects could be materially adversely affected.

 

The industry in which we operate is highly competitive, and we compete with numerous other companies, many of which are larger and have significantly greater financial, distribution, advertising and marketing resources. Significant increases in these competitive influences could adversely affect our operations through a decrease in the number and dollar volume of sales.

 

For all of our services, we compete with a number of comparably sized and smaller firms, as well as a number of larger firms throughout the United States and Canada. Many of our competitors have the ability to attract customers as a result of their reputation and through their industry connections. Additionally, other reputable companies may decide to enter our markets to compete with us. These companies may have greater name recognition and have greater financial and marketing resources than we do. If these companies are successful in entering the markets in which we participate or if customers choose to go to our competition, we may attract fewer buyers and our revenue could decrease.

 

 

If we fail to adequately manage the size of our business, it could have a severe negative effect on our financial results or stock price.

 

Our management believes that in order to be successful we must appropriately manage the size of our business. This may mean reducing costs and overhead in certain economic periods, and selectively growing in periods of economic expansion. In addition, we will be required to implement operational, financial and management information procedures and controls that are efficient and appropriate for the size and scope of our operations. The management skills and systems currently in place may not be adequate and we may not be able to manage any significant cost reductions or effectively provide for our growth.

 

Insiders will continue to have substantial control over us and our policies after this offering and will be able to influence corporate matters.

 

Our officers and directors, whose interests may differ from other stockholders, have the ability to exercise significant control over us. Presently, James Zimbler beneficially owns all of our outstanding Series C Preferred Stock. Under the Certificate of Designation, holders of Series C Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote together with the holders of our common stock on all matters submitted to shareholders at a rate of seventy-two and one half (72.5) votes for each share held. The holders are further entitled to convert each share of their Series C Preferred Stock into seventy-two and one half (72.5) shares of our common stock. Mr. Zimbler is able to exercise significant influence over all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors, the approval of significant corporate transactions, and any change of control of our company.  He could prevent transactions, which would be in the best interests of the other shareholders. The interests of our officer and director may not necessarily be in the best interests of the shareholders in general.

 

Compliance with changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure may result in additional expenses.

 

Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and new SEC regulations, are creating uncertainty for companies such as ours. These new or changed laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies, which could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We are committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure. As a result, we intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new or changed laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to practice, our reputation may be harmed.

  

If we fail to comply with the new rules under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act related to accounting controls and procedures, or if material weaknesses or other deficiencies are discovered in our internal accounting procedures, our stock price could decline significantly.

 

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and a report by our independent auditors addressing these assessments. We are in the process of documenting and testing our internal control procedures, and we may identify material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and other deficiencies. If material weaknesses and deficiencies are detected, it could cause investors to lose confidence in our Company and result in a decline in our stock price and consequently affect our financial condition. In addition, if we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Moreover, effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to helping prevent financial fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our Common Stock could drop significantly. In addition, we cannot be certain that additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal controls will not be discovered in the future.

 

 

Because the barriers to entry into our industry are relatively low, competition is intense, which may result in lower margins or loss of market share.

 

The trucking industry is extremely competitive. Our principal competitors for LTL freight include national and international LTL companies as well as regional LTL motor carriers, truckload carriers, small package carriers, private carriage, freight forwarders, railroads and airlines. We also face many competitors for our 3PL services. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in meeting the competitive demands of the LTL and/or the 3PL industry.

 

Our business may be harmed by anti-terrorism measures.

 

In the aftermath of recent terrorist attacks on the United States, federal, state and municipal authorities have implemented and are implementing various security measures, including checkpoints and travel restrictions on large trucks. Although many companies will be adversely affected by any slowdown in the availability of freight transportation, the negative impact could affect our business disproportionately. For example, we offer specialized services that guarantee on-time delivery. If the new security measures disrupt or impede the timing of our deliveries, we may fail to meet the needs of our customers or may incur increased expenses to do so. We cannot assure you that these measures will not have a material adverse effect on our operating results, our ability to make payments on the exchange notes or the ability of our subsidiaries to make payments under the guarantees.

 

Because our business depends on economic activity to generate freight to haul, economic and market conditions could affect the results of our operations.

 

Fuel shortages, interest rate fluctuations, economic recession, changes in currency exchange rates and changes in customers' business cycles and business practices are among the factors over which we have no control, but which may adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations. Our operations are primarily conducted in the United States but are also conducted in major foreign countries. As a result, we are subject to the foregoing factors both domestically and internationally.

 

We operate in a highly competitive industry, and our business will suffer if we are unable to adequately address potential downward pricing pressures and other factors that may adversely affect our operations and profitability.

 

Numerous competitive factors could impair our ability to maintain our current profitability. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following items:

 

§

we compete with other transportation service providers of varying sizes, some of which may have more equipment, a broader global network, a wider range of services, greater capital resources or other competitive advantages;

§

some of our competitors may reduce their prices to gain business, especially during times of reduced growth rates in the economy, which may limit our ability to maintain or increase prices or maintain revenue;

§

we may be unable to continue to collect fuel surcharges or our fuel surcharge program may become ineffective in mitigating the impact of the fluctuating costs of fuel and other petroleum-based products;

§

many customers reduce the number of carriers they use by selecting “core carriers” as approved transportation service providers and we may not be selected;

§

many customers periodically accept bids from multiple carriers for their shipping needs, and this process may depress prices or result in the loss of some business to competitors;

some shippers may choose to acquire their own trucking fleet or may choose to increase the volume of freight they transport if they have an existing trucking fleet;

 

 

If we are unable to effectively compete with other LTL carriers and 3PL providers, whether on the basis of price, service or otherwise, we may be unable to retain existing customers or attract new customers, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, continued merger and acquisition activity in transportation and logistics could result in stronger or new competitors, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Risks Related to Our Securities

 

If a market for our common stock does not develop, shareholders may be unable to sell their shares.

 

Our common stock is quoted under the symbol “PNIK” on the OTCPink operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc, an electronic inter-dealer quotation medium for equity securities. We do not currently have an active trading market. There can be no assurance that an active and liquid trading market will develop or, if developed, that it will be sustained.

 

Our securities are very thinly traded. Accordingly, it may be difficult to sell shares of our common stock without significantly depressing the value of the stock. Unless we are successful in developing continued investor interest in our stock, sales of our stock could continue to result in major fluctuations in the price of the stock.

 

Our common stock price may be volatile and could fluctuate widely in price, which could result in substantial losses for investors.

 

The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:

 

• technological innovations or new products and services by us or our competitors;
• government regulation of our products and services;
• the establishment of partnerships with other technology companies;
• intellectual property disputes;
• additions or departures of key personnel;
• sales of our common stock
• our ability to integrate operations, technology, products and services;
• our ability to execute our business plan;
• operating results below expectations;
• loss of any strategic relationship;
• industry developments;
• economic and other external factors; and
• period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results.

Because we are a development stage company with nominal revenues to date, you should consider any one of these factors to be material. Our stock price may fluctuate widely as a result of any of the above.

 

In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

We have not paid cash dividends in the past and do not expect to pay cash dividends in the future on our common stock. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.

 

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of cash dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay cash dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if its stock price appreciates.

 

As a new investor, you will experience substantial dilution as a result of future equity issuances.

 

 

In the event we are required to raise additional capital it may do so by selling additional shares of common stock thereby diluting the shares and ownership interests of existing shareholders.

 

Because we are subject to the “Penny Stock” rules, the level of trading activity in our stock may be reduced.

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any listed, trading equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules which may increase the difficulty Purchasers may experience in attempting to liquidate such securities.

 

Provisions in the Nevada Revised Statutes and our Bylaws could make it very difficult for an investor to bring any legal actions against our directors or officers for violations of their fiduciary duties or could require us to pay any amounts incurred by our directors or officers in any such actions.

 

Members of our board of directors and our officers will have no liability for breaches of their fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer, except in limited circumstances, pursuant to provisions in the Nevada Revised Statutes and our Bylaws as authorized by the Nevada Revised Statutes. Specifically, Section 78.138 of the Nevada Revised Statutes provides that a director or officer is not individually liable to the company or its shareholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that (1) the director’s or officer’s act or failure to act constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer and (2) his or her breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. This provision is intended to afford directors and officers protection against and to limit their potential liability for monetary damages resulting from suits alleging a breach of the duty of care by a director or officer. Accordingly, you may be unable to prevail in a legal action against our directors or officers even if they have breached their fiduciary duty of care. In addition, our Bylaws allow us to indemnify our directors and officers from and against any and all costs, charges and expenses resulting from their acting in such capacities with us. This means that if you were able to enforce an action against our directors or officers, in all likelihood, we would be required to pay any expenses they incurred in defending the lawsuit and any judgment or settlement they otherwise would be required to pay. Accordingly, our indemnification obligations could divert needed financial resources and may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.

 

Item 2. Properties

 

Our principal offices are located at 170 Traders Boulevard East, Mississauga, Ontario L4Z 1W7. This space is leased by the Company and is currently sufficient for Company purposes. We also lease additional facilities in the area for our activities.

 

 

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

 

We are a party to a case titled William Prusin v. Precious Investments Inc. and Kashif Khan. The litigation was commenced in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) on July 20, 2016. The litigation stems from a diamond purchase agreement entered into on April 1, 2016 between Dr. William Prusin and Precious Investments Inc. By virtue of the terms of the agreement, Precious Investments purchased Dr. Prusin’s diamond portfolio, which was valued at $3.8 million (CDN) for the purposes of the agreement. In exchange for the diamond portfolio, Dr. Prusin was provided with 1,324,413 common shares of Precious Investments.

 

 

In the Statement of Claim, the plaintiff is alleging a breach of the Ontario Securities Act and claims that documents provided to him contain untrue statements of material fact or omissions. The plaintiff has also alleged that Precious Investment and Mr. Khan distributed securities in Ontario without issuing a prospectus and obtaining the required prospectus exemption or a registration exemption. In the alternative, the plaintiff has alleged that Mr. Khan made fraudulent misrepresentations which induced Dr. Prusin to enter into the diamond purchase agreement. The fraudulent misrepresentation allegation involves the future value of Precious shares, the timing by which Dr. Prusin had to sign the diamond purchase agreement, the involvement of Dundee Capital Markets, Mr. Khan’s investment in Precious Investments, and the management team at Precious Investments. Given these allegations, the plaintiff claims that he is entitled to obtain an order rescinding the diamond purchase agreement.

Precious Investments and Mr. Khan deny all of the plaintiff’s allegations. Precious Investments and Mr. Khan deny that any documents provided to Dr. Prusin constitute an “offering memorandum”, or that any prospectus was required under the Ontario Securities Act since the transaction falls within the exemption set out in National Instrument 45-106. In addition, the defendants deny that any fraudulent misrepresentation was made to Dr. Prusin. The defendants have filed a counter-claim against Dr. Prusin, alleging a breach of the diamond purchase agreement.

Market Information

 

Our common stock is quoted under the symbol “PNIK” on the OTCPink operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc. Currently, there is no trading market for our securities. There is no assurance that a regular trading market will develop, or if developed, that it will be sustained. Therefore, a shareholder may be unable to resell his securities in our company.

 

The following table sets forth the range of high and low bid quotations for our common stock for each of the periods indicated as reported by the OTCPink. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

 

Fiscal Year Ending July 31, 2016
Quarter Ended				High $				Low $
	July 31, 2016				3.30				2.40
	April 30, 2016				3.10				2.00

On March 28, 2018, the last sales price per share of our common stock on the OTCPink was $1.00.

 

 

Penny Stock

 

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.

 

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.

 

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.

 

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our securities.

 

Holders of Our Common Stock

 

As of March 20, 2018, we had 12,816,299 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, held by approximately 182 shareholders of record, other than those held in street name.

 

Dividends

 

There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:

 

1.	we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or;
2.	our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

 

We have not declared any dividends and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

The information set forth below relates to our issuances of securities without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 during the reporting period which were not previously included in a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

 

 

During the years ended July 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company entered into and closed various Diamond Purchase Agreements to purchase diamond assets consisting of various colored diamonds with for 261,798 and 1,277,554 post-split shares of common stock valued at $2,540,107 and $14,719,130, respectively.

During the year ended July 31, 2017, the Company issued 4,000,000 shares of common stock (post-split) valued at $8,800,000 for services.

During the year ended July 31, 2017, the Company issued 1,561,250 shares of common stock (post-split) valued at $14,230 for the conversion of a convertible note payable dated November 1, 2013.

 

These securities were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. The holders represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view towards distribution. The investors were given adequate information about us to make an informed investment decision. We did not engage in any general solicitation or advertising. We directed our transfer agent to issue the stock certificates with the appropriate restrictive legend affixed to the restricted stock.

 

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

We have no equity compensation programs to date. We plan to adopt an incentive plan in the foreseeable future.

 

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

 

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

 

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

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.

 

Results of Operations for the Years Ended July 31, 2017 and 2016

 

Revenues

 

We generated revenue of $826,366 for the year ended July 31, 2017, as compared with $7,500 for the year ended July 31, 2016. All of our revenues were generated from the sale of our colored diamond inventory. Since we have divested our colored diamond business, all future revenues are expected to come from our freight logistics business.

 

Our cost of revenues was $792,166 for the year ended July 31, 2017, as compared with $$7,500 for the year ended July 31, 2016. This is attributable to the fair market value of the shares of common stock that we sold to acquire our colored diamonds.

 

Operating Expenses

 

 

Operating expenses decreased to $449,424 for the year ended July 31, 2017 from $51,790,044 for the year ended July 31, 2016. Our operating expenses for the year ended July 31, 2017, consisted mainly of the equity expense to compensate our sole officer and director of $100,000, equity and cash consideration for professional fees of $291,650 and general and administrative expenses of $57,774. Our operating expenses for the year ended July 31, 2016 consisted mainly of the equity expense to compensate our sole officer and director of $49,169,644, equity and cash consideration for professional fees of $2,614,324 and general and administrative expenses of $6,076.

 

We expect that our operating expenses will increase for the year ended 2018 as a result of the transaction with American Freight Xchange, Inc., and KRG Logistics, Inc.

 

Other Expenses

We had other expenses of $12,792,987 for the year ended July 31, 2017, compared with other expenses of $13,136,600 for the year ended July 31, 2016. Other expenses for the year ended July 31, 2017 were mainly attributable to the loss on our acquisition of Flawless Fund of $8,800,000 and the loss on inventory valuation of $2,457,778. Other expenses for the year ended July 31, 2016 were mainly a result of the loss on inventory valuation of $13,798,793.

Net Loss

 

Net loss for the year ended July 31, 2017 was $13,208,211, compared to net loss of $64,926,644 for the year ended July 31, 2016.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of July 31, 2017, we had total current assets of $238,404 and total assets in the amount of $238,404. Our total current liabilities as of July 31, 2017 were $1,408,006. We had working capital of ($727,104) as of July 31, 2017, and $684,272 for July 31, 2016.

Operating activities used $510,852 in cash for the year ended July 31, 2017, as compared with cash provided of $169,240 for the year ended July 31, 2016. Our net loss of $13,187,279 for year ended July 31, 2017 was the main component of our negative operating cash flow, offset mainly by shares issued for services of $8,800,000.

Financial activities used $499,855 in cash for the year ended July 31, 2017, as compared with cash provided of $169,240 for the year ended July 31, 2016. Payments of $942,352 on related party note payables is the main reason for our negative financing cash flow, offset by advances of $442,497 from related parties.

Pursuant to the Warrants described in Item 1, above, we anticipate that a large portion of the additional capital needed may be raised from the exercise of said Warrants. However, there is no assurance that the Warrants will in fact be exercised.

 

We also 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 July 31, 2017, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

 

Going Concern

 

Our 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 July 31, 2017, we have an accumulated deficit of $79,507,419. 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.

 

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.

 

Our accounting policies are discussed in detail in the footnotes to our financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2017, however we consider our critical accounting policies to be those related to inventory, fair value of financial instruments, derivative financial instruments and long-lived assets.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBILIC ACCOUNTANTS FIRM

 

 

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Precious Investments Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Precious Investments as of July 31, 2017, and the related statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year ended July 31, 2017. Precious Investments Inc.'s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Precious Investments Inc. as of July 31, 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the year ended July 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of ($13,187,279) during the year ended July 31, 2017, and, as of that date, had a and deficit net worth of ($1,169,602). The Company is in arrears on accounts with certain vendor creditors which, among other things, cause the balances to become due on demand. The Company is not aware of any alternate sources of capital to meet such demands, if made.

 

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company's significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION 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.

 

On October 9, 2014, Ania Wlodarkiewicz tendered her resignation from all positions as an Officer and Director of the Company and the Board appointed Nataliya Hearn as a Director, President, Secretary and Treasurer of the Company.

 

On March 28, 2016, Nataliya Hearn resigned as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Director. Mr. Kashif Khan is the Company’s sole officer and director.

 

The Company has completed an asset purchase agreement dated August 10, 2015 where the Company acquired from Kashif Khan, its sole officer and director, 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.

 

The Company is in the business of purchasing and selling colored diamonds.

 

 

PRECIOUS INVESTMENTS, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

July 31, 2017 and 2016

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements represent the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Precious Investments, Inc. prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as reported on our fiscal years ending on July 31, 2017 and 2016. The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its 75% owned subsidiary Flawless Fund GP, Inc. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits. As of July 31, 2017, and 2016, no cash balances exceeded the federally insured limit. As of July 31, 2017, and 2016, the parent Company Precious Investments, Inc. did not have a bank account and as such the cash transactions for the Company were run the accounts of entities commonly controlled by the Company’s CEO.

 

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 fair value and 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 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.

 

PRECIOUS INVESTMENTS, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

July 31, 2017 and 2016

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 payables 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

Inventory consist of loose colored diamond acquired during the period (See Note 7) and is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company writes-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. Management has also written off inventory that was held by entities commonly controlled by the CEO and not subsequently sold as of the date of this filing. The charge related to inventory write-downs is recorded as a loss on inventory valuation as of July 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

Long-lived assets

Long-lived assets, including investments to be held and used or disposed of other than by sale, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used or disposed of other than by sale are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of the asset’s carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

 

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to FASB ASC 740—Income Taxes, which requires recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns. The Company provides for deferred taxes on temporary differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets using the enacted tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income when the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

 

FASB ASC 740 establishes a more-likely-than-not threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements. Also, the statement implements a process for measuring those tax positions that meet the recognition threshold of being ultimately sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. There are no uncertain tax positions taken by the Company on its tax returns. The Company files tax returns in the U.S. and states in which it has operations and is subject to taxation. Tax years subsequent to 2014 remain open to examination by U.S. federal and state tax jurisdictions.

Net Loss per Common Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential of shares of common stock outstanding during the period including stock options or warrants, using the treasury stock method (by using the average stock price for the period to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants), and convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net). ASU 2016-08 clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations and includes indicators to assist an entity in determining whether it controls a specified good or service before it is transferred to the customers. ASU 2016-08 is effective January 1, 2018 to be in alignment with the effective date of ASU 2014-09.

 

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. The amendments in ASU 2016-10 clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. ASU 2016-10 is effective January 1, 2018 to be in alignment with the effective date of ASU 2014-09.

 

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts from Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. The amendments in this update affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, which is not yet effective. The core principle of the guidance in Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in ASU 2016-12 do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606, but instead affect only the narrow aspects noted in Topic 606. ASU 2016-12 is effective January 1, 2018 to be in alignment with the effective date of ASU 2014-09. Management evaluated ASU 2016-08, ASU2016-09, ASU 2016-10, and ASU 2016-12 and determined the adoption will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for Topic 606 (and any other Topic amended by Update 2014-09). Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, defers the effective date of Update 2014-09 by one year.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments including requirements to measure most equity investments at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, to perform a qualitative assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values, and to separately present financial assets and liabilities by measurement category and by type of financial asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements. ASU 2016-01 will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2018 and will be applied by means of a cumulative effect adjustment to the balance sheet, except for effects related to equity securities without readily determinable values, which will be applied prospectively. Management has reviewed this pronouncement and have determined that it would not have a material impact to the financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 

July 31, 2017 and 2016

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which requires an entity to recognize long-term lease arrangements as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet of the lessee. Under ASU 2016-02, a right-of-use asset and lease obligation will be recorded for all long-term leases, whether operating or financing, while the income statement will reflect lease expense for operating leases and amortization/interest expense for financing leases. The amendments also require certain new quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2019. Lessees must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. Management does not believe the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in Part I of this Update change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. For freestanding equity classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities that present earnings per share (EPS) in accordance with Topic 260 to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders in basic EPS. Convertible instruments with embedded conversion options that have down round features are now subject to the specialized guidance for contingent beneficial conversion features (in Subtopic 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options), including related EPS guidance (in Topic 260). The amendments in Part II of this Update recharacterize the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect. For public business entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. For all other entities, the amendments in Part I of this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for all entities, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

These condensed consolidated interim 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 July 31, 2017, and 2016, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $79,507,419 and $66,320,140, respectively. The Company’s 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 condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.

NOTE 3 – BITGEMS ASSETS MANAGEMENT LTD

 

On March 24, 2016, the Company entered into an Agreement for Transfer of Ownership with Gulf Peal Ltd. and goNumerical Ltd. (the Consulting Firms) (the “Transfer Agreement”). Under the Transfer Agreement, the Company agreed to transfer all intellectual property rights as part of the cryptocurrency diamond market and PinkCoin projects to Gulf Pearl Ltd. and GoNumerical Ltd. (the “Consulting Firms”). In addition, the Company agreed to transfer ownership and management of its subsidiary, Bitgems Assets Management Ltd., to the Consulting Firms. In exchange, the Consulting Firms agreed to return their collective 1,000,000 shares in the Company acquired under the previously entered Memorandum of Understanding dated October 1, 2015 and Amended Memorandum of Understanding dated October 12, 2015.

 

On the date of the sale, Bitgems Assets Management had no assets or liabilities and as such the Company recorded the value of the 1,000,000 shares received of $2,400,000 as a gain on the sale of subsidiary recorded to additional paid in capital. Additionally, the Company recorded the amortization of a previously recorded prepaid expense of $2,092,500 (See note 4) associated with the MOU to the sale price of the subsidiary and netted it against the gain.

 

During the year ended July 31, 2016, the Company recorded the net gain on the sale of its subsidiary of $307,500

 

NOTE 4 – PROMISSORY NOTES

NOTE 5- CONVERTIBLE DEBT

 

Convertible debt as of July 31, 2017 and 2016 consisted of the following:

 

Description		July 31, 2017				July 31, 2016
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 balance of the beneficial conversion feature applicable to this note at July 31, 2017 and 2016 was zero.		$	-			$	-
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.			$                       9,448				$         23,679
Less: unamortized discount			-				(978)
Convertible notes, net of discount			$                       9,448				$         22,701

 

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 10KSB 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 and the Company has not received any demand for the payment of the note from the holder. As such, the Company has concluded that it no longer has a legal obligation for the payment of the note and has thus decided to remove the note. During the year ended July 31, 2016, the Company has recorded a gain on the cancellation of the debt in the amount of $316.507.

 

On July 15, 2016, the holder of the note dated August 15, 2015 demanded payment on the Notes. We have not raised $5 million in debt or equity financing and no portion of the Notes have been converted. As such, on July 25, 2016, we elected to return the Assets to Khan in lieu of payment. The interest accrued on the notes through July 25, 2016 amounting to $230,137 was forgiven by Khan and therefore recorded as a gain on settlement of notes payable as of July 31, 2016.

 

During the year ended July 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized $0 and $978 of debt discount accretion expense on the above notes, respectively. Interest expense related to these notes for the years ended July 31, 2017 and 2016 was $1,926 and $2,849, respectively.

ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

On March 28, 2016, the Company signed a letter of intent (the “LOI”) with Karrah Inc., an Ontario corporation (“Karrah”), and the sole shareholder of Karrah, Farrah Khan (“Khan”). Khan is the wife of the Company’s officer and director, Kashif Khan. Pursuant to the LOI, the parties set forth their understandings in contemplation of an acquisition from Khan of all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock in Karrah, resulting in a parent subsidiary relationship. In consideration for the acquisition of Karrah, the Company planned to issue to Khan a three-year promissory note (the “Note”) for $1,500,000, with interest at 6% per annum. Interest would have been payable at maturity or from time to time at the Company’s sole discretion. The Company had the right to prepay the Note and it would have been secured by the assets of Karrah.

 

On October 26, 2016, the Company learned that it was not possible to obtain an audit of Karrah. As such on October 28, 2016, the Company restructured the entire transaction by entering into a Termination and Restructure Agreement.

 

As part of the Termination and Restructure Agreement, the Company and Khan mutually agreed to cancel the Agreement to acquire the issued and outstanding shares of stock in Karrah. Second, the Company agreed to purchase from Karrah its customer list in exchange for a revised promissory note. The New Note will be in favor of Karrah, valued at $1,500,000 with interest at 6% per annum, and will not be secured by the assets of Karrah. Because the entities were under common control at the time of the acquisition the customer list was transferred to the Company at the transferors historical basis of $0. The excess of the consideration paid, and the carryover basis was recorded as a loss on asset purchase for the year ended July 31, 2017.

 

On July 6, 2016, the Company entered into a one-year Consulting Agreement with Karrah, Inc. and Kashif Khan for the team to act as a non-exclusive advisor and sales agent in assisting us in the marketing and sales of our colored diamond inventory on an international basis and domestically.

 

In exchange for the consulting services, the Company agreed to allow the consultant to retain up to the first $1,500,000 in revenues generated, which shall be used exclusively to pay off that certain promissory note we issued to Karrah, Inc. dated October 28, 2016 in the principal amount of $1,500,000. Following such payment, we have agreed to a revenue share, with our company allotted 95% and the consultant allotted 5% of all gross revenues received solely from the efforts of the consultant in the sale of our diamond inventory. Sales conducted by us will not be subject to a revenue share. During the year ended July 31, 2017, the Company paid $916,366 in sales revenue toward the note. As of the year ended July 31, 2017, the Company recognized of $35,018 of interest expense and had the note had a balance of $583,634.

NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES 

 

The Company provides for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. FASB ASC 740 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect currently.

 

FASB ASC 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the Company’s opinion, it is uncertain whether they will generate sufficient taxable income in the future to fully utilize the net deferred tax asset. Accordingly, a valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax asset has been recorded.

 

For the year ended July 31, 2017, the cumulative net operating loss carry-forward from continuing operations is approximately $27,032,522 at July 31,2017 and will expire beginning in the year 2031.

 

The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 34% of significant items comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows as of June 30, 2017 and 2016:

 

		2017				2016
Deferred tax asset attributable to:
Net operating loss carryover		$	27,032,522			$	22,548,848
Valuation allowance			(27,032,522	)			(22,548,848)
Net deferred tax asset		$	—			$	—

 

Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $27,032,522 for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. As a change in ownership did occur in December 2017 these operating losses have been limited. for use in future years.

For more information on the change in accountants, please see our Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 12, 2018.

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, being July 31, 2017. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Based upon that evaluation, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financing Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2017 based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As a result of this assessment, management concluded that, as of July 31, 2017, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. Our management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.

 

We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting. During the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we hope to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending July 31, 2018: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out in (i) and (ii) are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for non-accelerated filers set forth in Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

Family Relationships

 

There are no family relationships between or among the directors, executive officers or persons nominated or chosen by us to become directors or executive officers.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

To the best of our knowledge, during the past five years, none of the following occurred with respect to a present or former director, executive officer, or employee: (1) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company.

Audit Committee

 

We do not have a separately-designated standing audit committee. The entire board of directors performs the functions of an audit committee, but no written charter governs the actions of the board of directors when performing the functions of that would generally be performed by an audit committee. The board of directors approves the selection of our independent accountants and meets and interacts with the independent accountants to discuss issues related to financial reporting. In addition, the board of directors reviews the scope and results of the audit with the independent accountants, reviews with management and the independent accountants our annual operating results, considers the adequacy of our internal accounting procedures and considers other auditing and accounting matters including fees to be paid to the independent auditor and the performance of the independent auditor.

 

We do not have an audit committee financial expert because of the size of our company and our board of directors at this time. We believe that we do not require an audit committee financial expert at this time because we retain outside consultants who possess these attributes as needed.

 

For the fiscal year ending July 31, 2017, the board of directors:

 

1. Reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management, and
2. Reviewed and discussed the written disclosures and the letter from our independent auditors on the matters relating to the auditor’s independence.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

 

Aside from that which follows and in “Executive Compensation,” none of our directors or executive officers, nor any proposed nominee for election as a director, nor any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 5% of the voting rights attached to all of our outstanding shares, nor any members of the immediate family (including spouse, parents, children, siblings, and in-laws) of any of the foregoing persons has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction for the last two fiscal years or in any presently proposed transaction which, in either case, has or will materially affect us.

 

We entered into three convertible note agreements dated November 1, 2013, totaling $45,000. These notes matured on November 30, 2015 and bear interest at 12% per annum. Principal and accrued interest is convertible at $.00225 per share.

 

On January 26, 2018, we amended the three convertible note agreements, as follows:

 

Holder		New Maturity			Conversion of all Principal and Interest as of December 31, 2017				Interest
Realty Capital Management (Julius Csurgo)		December 31, 2018			Convertible at $0.00146 per share for 11,562,329 shares				Interest waived after December 31, 2017

Karrah, Inc. has paid certain of our expenses. The sole owner of Karrah, Inc. is the wife of Kashif Khan, our officer and director. Karrah advanced $442,497 and $0 during the years ended July 31, 2017 and 2016. As of the July 31, 2017 and 2016, there were $691,202 and $133,554 due, respectively.

 

 

On March 28, 2016, we signed a letter of intent with Karrah. Pursuant to the letter of intent, the parties set forth their understandings in contemplation of an acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock in Karrah, resulting in a parent subsidiary relationship.

On October 26, 2016, we learned that it was not possible to obtain an audit of Karrah that we were required to file with the SEC in connection with the acquisition as a result of the nature of the company’s jewelry inventory. Because we were unable to obtain an audit of Karrah, on October 28, 2016, we have restructured the entire transaction by entering into a Termination and Restructure Agreement. First, we and Karrah have mutually agreed to cancel the Agreement to acquire the issue and outstanding shares of stock in Karrah. Second, we agreed to purchase from Karrah its customer list in exchange for a revised promissory note (the “New Note”). The New Note will be in favor of Karrah valued at $1,500,000 with interest at 6% per annum, and will not be secured by the assets of Karrah. The customer list has been invaluable in establishing our current colored diamond inventory. Third, we have acquired some of the inventory from Karrah, and the value of the New Note reflects that consideration as well.

On August 10, 2015, we entered into a Diamond Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Kashif Khan (“Khan”). Pursuant to the Agreement, we acquired from Khan colored diamonds with a wholesale value of $4,000,000 (the “Assets”). We did not assume any of Khan’s liabilities in the transaction. Pursuant to the Agreement, we acquired from Khan the Assets for three demand secured convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $4,000,000.

 

On July 15, 2016, Khan demanded payment on the Notes. We have not raised $5 million in debt or equity financing and no portion of the Notes have been converted. As such, on July 25, 2016, we elected to return the Assets to Khan in lieu of payment.

 

On July 6, 2016, the Company entered into a one year Consulting Agreement with Karrah, Inc. and Kashif Khan for the team to act as a non-exclusive advisor and sales agent in assisting us in the marketing and sales of our colored diamond inventory on an international basis and domestically.

 

In exchange for the consulting services, the Company agreed to allow the consultant to retain up to the first $1,500,000 in revenues generated, which shall be used exclusively to pay off that certain promissory note we issued to Karrah, Inc. dated October 28, 2016 in the principal amount of $1,500,000. Following such payment, we have agreed to a revenue share, with our company allotted 95% and the consultant allotted 5% of all gross revenues received solely from the efforts of the consultant in the sale of our diamond inventory. Sales conducted by us will not be subject to a revenue share. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company paid $916,366 is sales revenue toward the note. As of the year ended July 31, 2017, the Company recognized $35,018 of interest expense and had the note had a balance of $583,634.
