EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Blockchain Industries, Inc. (f/k/a Omni Global Technologies, Inc.) (the “Company”) filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2017 (the “Original Form 10-K”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 30, 2017. The Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 to the Original Form 10-K (this “Form 10-K/A”) solely for the limited purpose of amending our disclosure under “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” and to amend and update our disclosure as of the date of this Form 10-K/A filing under “Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance”, “Item 11. Executive Compensation”, “Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters”, “Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence”, and “Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services” on the Original Form 10-K as requested pursuant a comment letter issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

In addition, the cover page has been amended from the Original Form 10-K to reflect the current name of the Company. On November 13, 2017, the Registrant filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the State of Nevada for the purpose of changing the name of the Registrant from Omni Global Technologies, Inc. to Blockchain Industries, Inc.

 

Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), this Form 10-K/A also contains new certifications pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Accordingly, this Form 10-K/A includes the currently dated certifications as exhibits.

 

Except as expressly set forth above, this Amendment No. 1 does not, and does not purport to, amend, update, change or restate the information in any other item of the Original Form 10-K or reflect any events that have occurred after the date of the Original Form 10-K.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

a)Evaluation of Disclosure and Controls Procedures

 

In connection with the preparation and filing of this Annual Report, we completed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer. This evaluation was conducted pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2017. In making this assessment, management used the framework set forth in the report Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013), or COSO (2013).

 

Based on the evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of April 30, 2017 due to the material weaknesses noted below in “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting”. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by employees in the normal course of their work.

 

(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined under Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As of April 30, 2017, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the internal control framework promulgated by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”), “Internal Control — Integrated Framework” (“COSO 2013”) provides guidance for designing, implementing and conducting internal control and assessing its effectiveness. Our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer used the COSO 2013 framework to assess the effectiveness of the Firm’s internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2017. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls.

 

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a sufficient number of directors on the Company's board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (4) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer in connection with his review of our financial statements as of April 30, 2017.

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer believe that the material weaknesses set forth above did not have an effect on the Company's financial results. However, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer believe that the lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a sufficient number of directors on the Company's board of directors, results in ineffective oversight of the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.

 

We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements as funds allow. To remediate deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting, the Company expects to hire a Principal Financial Officer or other person(s) with the necessary qualifications for overseeing the development and implementation of internal controls over financial reporting.

 

(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no significant changes to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our fourth fiscal quarter, that could materially affect, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.

 

The following sets forth information as of May 18, 2018, regarding the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by (i) each person that we know beneficially owns more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, (ii) each of our directors and named executive officer and (iii) all of our directors and named executive officer as a group. 

 

The amounts and percentages of our common stock beneficially owned are reported on the basis of SEC rules governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under the SEC rules, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares “voting power,” which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or “investment power,” which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days through the exercise of any stock option, warrant or other right. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed a beneficial owner of the same securities and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which such person has no economic interest. Unless otherwise indicated, each of the shareholders named in the table below, or his or her family members, has sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares of our common stock. Except as otherwise indicated, the address of each of the shareholders listed below is: c/o Blockchain Industries, Inc., 730 Arizona Ave, Suite 220, Santa Monica, CA 90401.

Changes in Control

 

We are not aware of any arrangements that may result in changes in control as that term is defined by the provisions of Item 403(c) of Regulation S-K. 

 

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

 

None of our officers, directors, proposed director nominees, beneficial owners of more than 10% of our shares of common stock, or any relative or spouse of any of the foregoing persons, or any relative of such spouse who has the same house as such person or who is a director or officer of any parent or subsidiary of our Company, has any direct or indirect material interest in any transaction to which we are a party since our incorporation or in any proposed transaction to which we are proposed to be a party.

 

In the event a related party transaction is proposed, such transaction will be presented to our board of directors for consideration and approval. Any such transaction will require approval by a majority of the disinterested directors and such transactions will be on terms no less favorable than those available to disinterested third parties.

 

Director Independence

 

Since our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we have used the definition of “independence” of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship that, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:

 

  · the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company;
     
  · the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);
     
  · a family member of the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer of the company;
     
  · the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exclusions);
     
  · the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or
     
  · The director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit.
     
    Based upon the above criteria, we have no independent directors.

 

Based upon the above criteria, we have determined that we have no independent board members.
