ITEM 1 – BUSINESS

 

Corporate History

 

We were incorporated on December 19, 2014 in the State of Nevada. On October 17, 2017, we acquired Eqova Life Sciences, a Nevada corporation (“Eqova”). Eqova is a wholly-owned subsidiary through which we conduct our hemp oil product business.

 

Overview

 

With the acquisition of Eqova, we are transitioning away from our software services business and shifted our focus to a new line of business. Eqova is focused on the production and sale of hemp oil products through the medical practitioner market.

 

Eqova Life Sciences

 

On October 17, 2017, we acquired Eqova through an exchange of shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for all of the outstanding equity interest of Eqova. As part of the Exchange, we have brought on Eqova’s President and Director, Patrick Stiles, to serve as our President and Chief Executive Officer and as a Director on our Board of Directors.

 

Eqova is a medically-focused CBD company that develops clinical grade full spectrum hemp oil products, sold exclusively via partnerships with licensed medical practitioners to use with their patients. To date, we know of no other hemp oil company exclusively focused on the practitioner market, leaving it largely underserved. According to The Hemp Business Journal, the market for CBD products is projected to grow by 700% by 2020 with annual sales reaching $2.1 billion. With a head start in a growing marketplace, we believe that Eqova provides us with a prime growth opportunity with an established business.

 

Software Enterprise Platform Services

 

Our prior business, until recently discontinued, was providing software enterprise platform services. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we sold and marketed a cloud based software to detect advertising fraud on the internet. We had revenues of approximately $128,105 in the year ended December 31, 2017, 94% of which was for these software services and came from a single customer, Take5. In March 2018, we received the last payment from this customer. At this time, we have no customers for our software services and intend to discontinue this line of business as we shift our focus solely to sales of our hemp oil products.

 

 The Market

 

Hemp Oil and CBD Market

 

Eqova and our hemp oil products are tailored primarily to the medical practitioner market. We believe this market is underserved and that other companies are unable to provide products that match the quality and consistent servings/dosage of our products.

 

CBD.co – The Online Hemp Oil Marketplace

 

We purchased the domain “CBD.co” in November of 2017. This website is an online marketplace for all types of hemp products, with the main focus on cannabidiol (CBD) products. Many online marketplaces do not allow CBD products on their platforms. CBD.co offers manufacturers and consumers of hemp oil products a one-stop destination to sell and buy a wide variety of hemp oil products. CBD.co will be a third-party marketplace for hemp oil products, allowing customers to buy products and leave reviews. We will seek to monetize the website through commissions on sales made on the site and advertising revenue.

 

Our Mission

 

Our mission for Eqova and our hemp oil products is to provide medical practitioners with superior products using standardized dosing and unique delivery methods.

 

Hemp Oil Products

 

Eqova develops clinical grade hemp oil products, sold primarily to licensed medical practitioners for use with their patients.

 

We produce and offer the following products:

 

·

CannaBio Salve – most often used to provide relief to tight or sore muscles and minor skin irritations, this product contains full spectrum hemp oil, menthol and essential oils.

·

CannaBio x25 (gel cap and liquid) – provides a daily serving of full spectrum hemp oil and often used to target patients’ GI tract.

·

CannaBio MuscleCalm – a topical rub with soothing amounts of menthol, most often used to provide relief to tight or sore muscles.

·

CannaBio Optimized – a liquid liposomal full spectrum hemp oil product designed to be fat soluble for a high degree of bioavailability.

·

CannaBio Pets – designed and marketed to provide relief to anxious, aging or inflamed pets.[1]

 

Eqova's products are created using full spectrum hemp oil and other ingredients to achieve standardized dosing. These formulations combine the powerful benefits of cannabinoids in standardized products, which are intended to be distributed to patients under the care of licensed health practitioners. All Eqova products are carefully researched. We require our manufacturers to make our products in cGMP-compliant labs located in the United States.

 

Since the beginning of Eqova and this business in October 2017 through December 31, 2017, sales of our hemp oil products produced revenues of $7,605.

 

Patents and Intellectual Property Rights

 

We have not filed for any intellectual property protection. However, we rely on intellectual property law that may include a combination of copyright, trade secret and confidentiality agreements to protect our intellectual property. Our employees and independent contractors will be required to sign agreements acknowledging that all inventions, trade secrets, works of authorship, developments and other processes generated by them on our behalf are our property, and assigning to us any ownership that they may claim in those works. Despite our precautions, it may be possible for third parties to obtain and use without consent intellectual property that we own. Unauthorized use of our intellectual property by third parties, and the expenses incurred in protecting our intellectual property rights, may adversely affect our business.

^[1] These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

From time to time, we may encounter disputes over rights and obligations concerning intellectual property. While we believe that our product and service offerings do not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party, we cannot assure you that we will prevail in any intellectual property dispute. If we do not prevail in such disputes, we may lose some or all of our intellectual property protection, be enjoined from further sales of the applications determined to infringe the rights of others, and/or be forced to pay substantial royalties to a third party.

 

Governmental Controls, Approval and Licensing Requirements

 

Hemp Oil Products

 

A major obstacle to our growth is the public perception that hemp and marijuana are the same thing. This perception drives much of the regulation of hemp products. Although hemp and marijuana are both part of the cannabis family, they differ in cultivation, function, and application. Despite the use of marijuana becoming more widely legalized, it is viewed by many regulators and many others as an illegal product. Hemp, on the other hand, is used in a variety of other ways that include clothing, skin products, pet products, dietary supplements (the use of CBD oil), and thousands of other applications. Hemp may be legally sold, however the inability of many to understand the difference between hemp and marijuana often causes burdensome regulation and confusion among potential customers. Therefore, we are affected by laws related to cannabis and marijuana, even though our products are not the direct targets of these laws.

 

Cannabis is currently a Schedule I controlled substance under the Controlled Substance Act (“CSA”) and is, therefore, illegal under federal law. Even in those states in which the use of cannabis has been legalized pursuant to state law, its use, possession and/or cultivation remains a violation of federal law. A Schedule I controlled substance is defined as one that has no currently accepted medical use in the United States, a lack of safety for use under medical supervision and a high potential for abuse. The U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) describes Schedule I controlled substances as “the most dangerous drugs of all the drug schedules with potentially severe psychological or physical dependence.” If the federal government decides to enforce the CSA in Colorado with respect to state-regulated cannabis activities in Colorado and other states, persons that are charged with distributing, possessing with intent to distribute or growing cannabis could be subject to fines and/or terms of imprisonment, the maximum being life imprisonment and a $50 million fine.

 

Notwithstanding the CSA, 29 U.S. states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories of Guam and Puerto Rico allow their residents to use medical cannabis. The states of Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont (effective July 1, 2018) and Washington, and the District of Columbia, allow cannabis for adult recreational use. Such state and territorial laws are in conflict with the federal CSA, which makes cannabis use and possession illegal at the federal level.

 

In light of such conflict between federal laws and state laws regarding cannabis, the previous administration under President Obama had effectively stated that it was not an efficient use of resources to direct federal law enforcement agencies to prosecute those lawfully abiding by state-designated laws allowing the use and distribution of medical cannabis. For example, the prior DOJ Deputy Attorney General of the Obama administration, James M. Cole, issued a memorandum (the “Cole Memo”) to all United States Attorneys providing updated guidance to federal prosecutors concerning cannabis enforcement under the CSA. In addition, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) provided guidelines (the “FinCEN Guidelines”) on February 14, 2014, regarding how financial institutions can provide services to cannabis-related businesses consistent with their Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”) obligations.

 

Additional existing and pending legislation provides, or seeks to provide, protection to persons acting in violation of federal law but in compliance with state laws regarding cannabis. The Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment (formerly known as the Rohrbacher-Farr Amendment) to the Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill, which funds the DOJ, since 2014 has prohibited the DOJ from using funds to prevent states with laws authorizing the use, distribution, possession or cultivation of medical cannabis from implementing such laws. On August 2016, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in United States v. McIntosh that the Amendment bars the DOJ from spending funds on the prosecution of conduct that is allowed by state medical cannabis laws, provided that such conduct is in strict compliance with applicable state law. The Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment is currently effective through September 30, 2018, but as an amendment to an appropriations bill, it must be renewed annually.

 

These developments previously were met with a certain amount of optimism in the cannabis industry, but (i) neither the CARERS Act nor the Respect State Marijuana Laws Act of 2017 have yet been adopted, (ii) the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment, being an amendment to an appropriations bill that must be renewed annually, has not currently been renewed beyond September 30, 2018, and (iii) the ruling in United States v. McIntosh is only applicable precedent in the Ninth Circuit.

 

Because of the discrepancy between the laws in some states, which permit the distribution and sale of medical and recreational cannabis, from federal law that prohibits any such activities, DOJ Deputy Attorney General James M. Cole issued the Cole Memo concerning cannabis enforcement under the CSA.

 

At the time of its issuance, the Cole Memo reiterated Congress’s determination that cannabis is a dangerous drug and that the illegal distribution and sale of cannabis is a serious crime that provides a significant source of revenue to large-scale criminal enterprises, gangs, and cartels. The Cole Memo noted that the DOJ was committed to enforcement of the CSA consistent with those determinations. It also noted that the DOJ was committed to using its investigative and prosecutorial resources to address the most significant threats in the most effective, consistent, and rational way. In furtherance of those objectives, the Cole Memo provided guidance to DOJ attorneys and law enforcement to focus their enforcement resources on persons or organizations whose conduct interferes with any one or more of the following important priorities (the “Enforcement Priorities”) in preventing:

 

·

the distribution of cannabis to minors;

 

·

revenue from the sale of cannabis from going to criminal enterprises, gangs, and cartels;

 

·

the diversion of cannabis from states where it is legal under state law in some form to other states;

 

·

state-authorized cannabis activity from being used as a cover or pretext for the trafficking of other illegal drugs or other illegal activity;

 

·

violence and the use of firearms in the cultivation and distribution of cannabis;

 

·

drugged driving and the exacerbation of other adverse public health consequences associated with cannabis use;

 

·

the growing of cannabis on public lands and the attendant public safety and environmental dangers posed by cannabis production on public lands; and

 

·

cannabis possession or use on federal property.

 

However, on January 4, 2018, the U.S. Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, issued a memorandum for all U.S. Attorneys (the “Sessions Memo”) stating that the Cole Memo was rescinded effective immediately. In particular, Mr. Sessions stated that “prosecutors should follow the well-established principles that govern all federal prosecutions,” which require “federal prosecutors deciding which cases to prosecute to weigh all relevant considerations, including federal law enforcement priorities set by the Attorney General, the seriousness of the crime, the deterrent effect of criminal prosecution, and the cumulative impact of particular crimes on the community.” The Sessions Memo went on to state that given the DOJ’s well-established general principles, “previous nationwide guidance specific to marijuana is unnecessary and is rescinded, effective immediately.”

 

It is unclear at this time whether the Sessions Memo indicates that the Trump administration will strongly enforce the federal laws applicable to cannabis or what types of activities will be targeted for enforcement. However, a significant change in the federal government’s enforcement policy with respect to current federal laws applicable to cannabis could cause significant financial damage to us. We do not currently cultivate, distribute or sell cannabis, but our hemp oil products are closely tied to the cannabis industry.

 

Although the Sessions Memo has rescinded the Cole Memo and it is unclear at this time what the ultimate impact of that rescission will have on our business, if any, we intend to continue to conduct rigorous due diligence to verify the legality of all activities that we engage in and ensure that our activities do not interfere with any of the Enforcement Priorities set forth in the Cole Memo.

 

Competition

 

Hemp Oil Products

 

Currently, we face competition from a number of other companies providing hemp-based products. We expect that many other companies will recognize the market potential of hemp products and enter into the marketplace as competitors. As states continue to legalize marijuana and the public gains a better understanding of hemp products, we expect many new companies will enter into the hemp business in the near future.

 

There are many wholesalers and retailers of CBD oil. However, we believe we can continue to distinguish ourselves by targeting the medical practitioner market and providing high-quality products with consistently reliable dosage.

 

Employees

 

As of the date hereof, we do not have any employees other than our officers and directors and one employee. Our officers and directors will continue to work for us for the foreseeable future. We anticipate hiring appropriate personnel on an as-needed basis, and utilizing the services of independent contractors as needed.

 

ITEM 1A. – RISK FACTORS.

 

As a smaller reporting company we are not required to provide a statement of risk factors. Nonetheless, we are voluntarily providing risk factors herein.

 

Any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the following information, together with the other information contained in this Annual Report, before you decide to buy our common stock. If one or more of the following events actually occurs, our business will suffer, and as a result our financial condition or results of operations will be adversely affected. In this case, the market price, if any, of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment in our common stock.

 

We are providing services to an industry that is heavily regulated and, in some respects, illegal under federal law and the laws of most states. We face risks in developing our product candidates and services and eventually bringing them to market. We also face risks that our business model may become obsolete. The following risks are material risks that we face. If any of these risks occur, our business, our ability to achieve revenues, our operating results and our financial condition could be seriously harmed.

 

Risk Factors Related to the Business of the Company

 

We have a limited operating history, we are not profitable, and we do not expect to be profitable in the near future. There is no assurance our future operations will result in revenues sufficient to obtain or sustain profitability. If we cannot generate sufficient revenues to operate profitably, we may suspend or cease operations.

We were incorporated on December 19, 2014 and we have not fully developed our proposed business operations and have not yet experienced significant revenue. We have a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made, and we recently shifted focus to a new line of business with the acquisition of Eqova. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain adequate financing and to reach profitable levels of operations. In that regard we have no proven history of performance, earnings or success. 

 

Our net loss from inception to December 31, 2017, was $7,683,382, of which most is due to interest expense, change in value of derivative instruments and professional fees in connection with our formation and initial stock offering. Based on our cash position of $81,653 as of December 31, 2017, we will need to raise additional capital from the sale of our stock or debt. Such funding may not be available, or may be available only on terms which are not beneficial and/or acceptable to us. 

 

Our ability to maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon our ability to attract new customers who will buy our products and services, and our ability to generate sufficient revenue through the sale of those products and services.

 

Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses that may exceed revenues. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues in the future. In the event we cannot generate sufficient revenues and/or secure additional financing, we may be forced to cease operations.

 

We have received all or nearly all of our revenues from one major customer during the past two years and we have terminated our relationship with this customer; if our new business does not replace the lost revenues, our revenues will decline and have a substantial effect on our financial performance.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we received 94% and 100%, respectively, of our revenues from one customer. We did not have a written or oral agreement with this customer and we have terminated our relationship with this customer as we shift the focus of our business away from software services to hemp oil products. Our financial success now depends solely on our ability to sell hemp oil products through Eqova. From the acquisition of Eqova in October 2017 through December 31, 2017, sales of our hemp oil products generated revenues of $7,605. If we are unable to further grow this business and generate sufficient sales, our financial performance will decline and we may not be able to fund our business.

 

Negative press from being in the hemp/cannabis space could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

The hemp plant and the cannabis/marijuana plant are both part of the same cannabis sativagenus/species of plant, except that hemp, by definition, has less than 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”) content and is legal under federal and state laws, but the same plant with a higher THC content is cannabis/marijuana, which is legal under certain state laws, but which is not legal under federal law. The similarities between these plants can cause confusion, and our activities with legal hemp may be incorrectly perceived as us being involved in federally illegal cannabis/marijuana. Also, despite growing support for the cannabis/marijuana industry and legalization of cannabis/marijuana in certain U.S. states, many individuals and businesses remain opposed to the cannabis/marijuana industry. Any negative press resulting from any incorrect perception that we have entered into the cannabis/marijuana space could result in a loss of current or future business. It could also adversely affect the public’s perception of us and lead to reluctance by new parties to do business with us or to own our common stock. We cannot assure you that additional business partners, including but not limited to financial institutions and customers, will not attempt to end or curtail their relationships with us. Any such negative press or cessation of business could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

Any business-related cannabinoid production is dependent on laws pertaining to the hemp/cannabis industry.

 

As of December 31, 2017, there were (i) 34 states in the United States and the District of Columbia that have legalized hemp, (ii) 29 states and the District of Columbia that allow their citizens to use medical cannabis/marijuana and, (iii) 9 states and the District of Columbia that have legalized cannabis/marijuana for adult recreational use. Many other states are considering similar legislation. Conversely, under the federal Controlled Substance Act (the “CSA”), the policies and regulations of the federal government and its agencies are that cannabis/marijuana has no medical benefit and a range of activities are prohibited, including cultivation, possession, personal use, and interstate distribution of cannabis/marijuana. In the event the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) begins strict enforcement of the CSA in states that have laws legalizing medical and/or adult recreational cannabis/marijuana, there may be a direct and adverse impact to any future business or prospects that we may have in the cannabis/marijuana business. Even in those jurisdictions in which the manufacture and use of medical cannabis/marijuana has been legalized at the state level, the possession, use, and cultivation of cannabis/marijuana all remain violations of federal law that are punishable by imprisonment and substantial fines. Moreover, individuals and entities may violate federal law if they intentionally aid and abet another in violating these federal controlled substance laws, or conspire with another to violate them.

 

For example, the California Bureau of Cannabis Control sent 900 warning letters to marijuana shops suspected of operating without a state license. The Bureau also issued a cease-and-desist letter to the operator of an online directory of marijuana dispensaries, products and delivery services. The letter threatened fines and criminal penalties if the company did not remove the listings for unlicensed marijuana businesses. Likewise, if we unknowingly do business with unlicensed entities or list them on our website, we may be subject to similar regulatory action that would halt our operations and affect our financial performance.

 

Local, state, federal, and international hemp and cannabis/marijuana laws and regulations are broad in scope and subject to evolving interpretations, which could require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance requirements. In addition, violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, it is possible that cannabinoid-related regulations may be enacted in the future that will be directly applicable to our business. It is also possible that the federal government will begin strictly enforcing existing laws, which may limit the legal uses of the hemp plant and its derivatives and extracts, such as cannabinoids. However, our work in hemp would continue since hemp research, development, and commercialization activities are permitted under applicable federal and state laws, rules, and regulations. We cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations, or applications, nor can we determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on our activities in the legal hemp industry.

 

 Our competitors may develop products that are less expensive, safer or otherwise more appealing, which may diminish or eliminate the commercial success of any potential product that we may commercialize.

If our competitors market products that are less expensive, safer or otherwise more appealing than our potential products, or that reach the market before our potential products, we may not achieve commercial success. The market may choose to continue utilizing existing products for any number of reasons, including familiarity with or pricing of these existing products. The failure of any of our products to compete with products marketed by our competitors would impair our ability to generate revenue, which would have a material adverse effect on our future business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Our competitors may:

 

·

develop and market products that are less expensive, safer, or otherwise more appealing than our products;

 

·

commercialize competing products before we or our partners can launch our products; and

 

·

initiate or withstand substantial price competition more successfully than we can.

 

In addition, several websites compete with our CBD.co website. Many of these other websites have been around longer than CBD.co and have much higher traffic than CBD.co. Developing a website is relatively inexpensive compared to other business ventures and we may face substantial competition from established websites and other nascent online CBD market platforms. If we are unable to develop CBD.co to rank higher in search results, to be more user friendly and to provide better information and products than our competitors, we may not be able to attract sufficient traffic to achieve significant revenue through product sales or advertising on CBD.co.

 

Our CBD products have high costs and could hurt our profitability.

 

The production of CBD products is expensive. The uncertain regulatory environment and lack of established producers and manufacturers of CBD and CBD products can make it difficult to find CBD at reasonable prices. This industry differs from our software services that we have provided in the past, and the margins are not comparable. If we are not able to manage the costs and find affordable sources of CBD, our results of operations will be adversely affected.

 

Because our officers and directors have other outside business activities and will have limited time to spend on our business, our operations may be sporadic, which may result in periodic interruptions or suspensions of operations.

 

Because our officers and directors have other outside business activities and will only be devoting between 20-75% of their time, or 8-30 hours per week each, to our operations, our operations may be sporadic and occur at times which are convenient for them. These outside interests may deter from our development. In the event they are unable to fulfill any aspect of their duties, we may experience a shortfall or complete lack of sales resulting in little or no profits and eventual closure of the business.

 

Our auditors have substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our auditor’s report reflects that our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital from the sale of common stock and, ultimately, the achievement of significant operating revenues. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, our stockholders will lose their investment. We will be required to seek additional capital to fund future growth and expansion. No assurance can be given that such financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on commercially favorable terms. Moreover, favorable financing may be dilutive to our stockholders.

 

Our controlling stockholders have significant influence over the Company.

 

Our officers and directors own stock representing approximately 34% of shareholder votes. As a result they will possess a significant influence over our affairs and may have the effect of delaying or preventing a future change in control, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the company, which in turn could materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Our minority shareholders will be unable to affect the outcome of stockholder voting as long as our officers and directors retain a controlling interest.

 

Our current officers and directors may set salaries and perquisites in the future, which the Company is unable to support with its current assets.

 

At present, Mr. Stiles and Mr. Bossung are each being paid $140,000 per year. Mr. Stiles and Mr. Bossung have deferred a portion of their salary and are being paid $9,000 per month until the Company can afford their full salary. Mr. Covely, through a company he owns, is being paid for programming hours and hosting fees at amounts that vary monthly based on hours worked and the type of work performed.

 

Although Mr. Stiles, Mr. Covely and Mr. Bossung have written employment or services agreements, our officers and directors may decide to award themselves higher salaries and other benefits. We do not have significant revenues, and there is no guarantee that we will have significant revenue in the near future. If we do not increase our revenues, we will be unable to support any higher salaries or other benefits for management, which may cause us to cease operations.

 

We may engage in strategic transactions that fail to enhance stockholder value.

 

From time to time, we may consider possible strategic transactions, including the potential acquisitions or licensing of products or technologies or acquisition of companies, and other alternatives with the goal of maximizing stockholder value. We may never complete a strategic transaction, and in the event that we do complete a strategic transaction, such as the acquisition of ShareRails, implementation of such transactions may impair stockholder value or otherwise adversely affect our business. Any such transaction may require us to incur non-recurring or other charges and may pose significant integration challenges and/or management and business disruptions, any of which could harm our results of operation and business prospects.

 

We may not be able to gain or sustain market acceptance for our products and services.

 

Failure to establish a brand and presence in the marketplace on a timely basis could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, there can be no assurance that we will successfully complete our development and introduction of new products and services or that any such products and services will achieve acceptance in the marketplace. We may also fail to develop and deploy new products and services on a timely basis.

 

The market for products and services in the hemp oil business is highly competitive, and we may not be able to compete successfully.

 

The market for our hemp oil products is competitive and evolving. There is no material aspect of our business that is protected by patents, copyrights, trademarks, or trade names, and we face strong competition from larger companies that may offer similar products and services to ours. Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources and larger client bases than us, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully compete against these or other competitors.

 

Some of our competitors are vertically integrated with their supply chain and can grow, process and market their own products. This may give them more control over pricing and their final products. Some of them also have been mentioned in the national news, have doctor endorsements and a brand presence that we cannot match at this time.

 

Given the rapid changes affecting the global, national, and regional economies generally and the medical marijuana and recreational marijuana industries, in particular, we may not be able to create and maintain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Our success will depend on our ability to keep pace with any changes in our markets, particularly, legal and regulatory changes. Our success will also depend on our ability to respond to, among other things, changes in the economy, market conditions, and competitive pressures. Any failure by us to anticipate or respond adequately to such changes could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

We have incurred costs in completing the transaction with Eqova Life Sciences and failure to successfully integrate Eqova Life Sciences will have an adverse impact on our financial position and prevent us from obtaining the benefits that the transaction would have given us.

 

We have recently completed our acquisition of Eqova. Our executives have spent considerable time and incurred legal and accounting costs in acquiring Eqova. If we are unable to fully integrate Eqova into our business or maintain Eqova’s customer base, we will not be able to acquire the technologies, partnerships and potential customers that the transaction was intended given us. The increase in acquisition and integration costs without the corresponding benefit will have an adverse impact on our financial statements and foreclose potential revenue-producing opportunities in the near future.

 

Our success is highly dependent on our ability to penetrate the market for hemp oil products as well as the growth and expansion of that market.

 

The market for hemp oil products and related services like ours is relatively new, rapidly evolving and unproven. It is difficult to predict customer adoption and renewal rates, customer demand for our products, the size, growth rate and expansion of these markets, the entry of competitive products or the success of existing competitive products. Our ability to penetrate the existing market and any expansion of the emerging market depends on a number of factors, including the cost, performance and perceived value associated with our product, as well as customers’ willingness to adopt new products. Furthermore, many potential customers have made significant investments in other products and may be unwilling to invest in our products. If we are unable to compete and sell our products, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected.

 

Our success depends on our ability to sell our products and establish relationships with medical practitioners.

 

We need to establish sales partners with medical practitioners and resellers. To the extent we do identify such partners, we will need to negotiate the terms of a commercial agreement with them under which the partner would distribute our products. We cannot be certain that we will be able to negotiate commercially-attractive terms with any partner, if at all, or convince them of the benefits our products provide. There can be no assurance that our sales partners will comply with the terms of our commercial agreements with them or will continue to work with us when our commercial agreements with them expire or are up for renewal. If we are unable to maintain our relationships with these partners, or these partners fail to live up to their contractual obligations, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.

 

Economic uncertainties or downturns could materially adversely affect our business.

 

Current or future economic uncertainties or downturns could adversely affect our business and results of operations. Negative conditions in the general economy including conditions resulting from changes in gross domestic product growth, the continued sovereign debt crisis, financial and credit market fluctuations, political deadlock, natural catastrophes, warfare and terrorist attacks on the United States, Europe, the Asia Pacific region or elsewhere, could cause a decrease in business investments.

 

General worldwide economic conditions have experienced a significant downturn and continue to remain unstable. These conditions make it extremely difficult for us to forecast and plan future business activities accurately, and they could cause our potential customers to reevaluate their decisions to purchase our product, which could delay and lengthen our sales cycles or result in cancellations of planned purchases. Furthermore, during challenging economic times our potential customers may tighten their advertising budgets which may impact their spend on local inventory based digital marketing products. To the extent purchases of our products are perceived by potential customers to be discretionary, sales of our products may never occur. Also, customers may choose to seek other methods to achieve the benefits our products provide.

 

We cannot predict the timing, strength or duration of any economic slowdown, instability or recovery, generally or within any particular industry. If the economic conditions of the general economy or industries in which we operate do not improve, or worsen from present levels, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely affected.

 

We are dependent on the services of key personnel and failure to attract qualified management could limit our growth and negatively impact our results of operations.

 

We are highly dependent on the principal members of our management team, including our Chief Executive Officer, Patrick Stiles, and our Chief Financial Officer, William Bossung. Our enterprise software line of business has depended almost entirely on Fred Covely, our Chief Technology Officer. At this time, we do not know of the availability of such experienced management personnel or how much it may cost to attract and retain such personnel. The loss of the services of any member of senior management or the inability to hire experienced technical or programing personnel could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Other companies may claim that we have infringed upon their intellectual property or proprietary rights.

 

We do not believe that our products and services violate third-party intellectual property rights; however, we have not had an independent party conduct a study of possible patent infringements. Nevertheless, we cannot guarantee that claims relating to violation of such rights will not be asserted by third parties. If any of our products or services are found to violate third-party intellectual property rights, we may be required to expend significant funds to re-engineer or cause to be re-engineered one or more of those products or services to avoid infringement, or seek to obtain licenses from third parties to continue offering our products and services without substantial re-engineering, and such efforts may not be successful.

 

In addition, future patents may be issued to third parties upon which our products and services may infringe. We may incur substantial costs in defending against claims under any such patents. Furthermore, parties making such claims may be able to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief, which effectively could block our ability to further develop or commercialize some or all of our products or services in the United States or abroad, and could result in the award of substantial damages against us. In the event of a claim of infringement, we may be required to obtain one or more licenses from third parties. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such licenses at a reasonable cost, if at all. Defense of any lawsuit or failure to obtain any such license could be costly and have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Our success depends on our ability to protect our proprietary technology.

 

Our success depends, to a significant degree, upon the protection of our proprietary technology, and that of any licensors. Legal fees and other expenses necessary to obtain and maintain appropriate patent protection could be material. Currently, no material aspect of our business is protected by registered patents, copyrights or trademarks. Insufficient funding may inhibit our ability to obtain and maintain such protection. Additionally, if we must resort to legal proceedings to enforce our intellectual property rights, the proceedings could be burdensome and expensive, and could involve a high degree of risk to our proprietary rights if we are unsuccessful in, or cannot afford to pursue, such proceedings.

 

We may also rely on trademarks, trade secrets and contract law to protect certain of our proprietary technology. There can be no assurance that any trademarks will be approved, that such contract will not be breached, or that if breached, we will have adequate remedies. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any of our trade secrets will not become known or independently discovered by third parties.

 

Our future growth may be inhibited by the failure to implement new technologies.

 

Our future growth is partially tied to our ability to improve our knowledge and implementation of mobile, AI, machine learning, and other advanced technologies in a retail environment, which is a rapidly changing market. The inability to successfully implement commercially technologies in response to market conditions in a manner that is responsive to our customers’ requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Our payment processing merchant is located abroad and this may cause problems in receiving payments for our products.

 

We currently use a payment processing merchant who is located outside of the United States. This merchant often holds our money for weeks before sending it to us. If we are delayed in receiving our funds or the merchant refuses to forward our sales proceeds, our financial condition could be adversely affected. Because the merchant is located abroad, we may not have any way to enforce our arrangement and force the merchant to provide give us our money.

 

Risks Related To Our Common Stock

 

The market price of our common stock may be volatile and may be affected by market conditions beyond our control.

 

The market price of our common stock is subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other factors:

 

·

variations in our operating results and market conditions specific to technology companies;

 

·

changes in financial estimates or recommendations by securities analysts;

 

·

announcements of innovations or new products or services by us or our competitors;

 

·

the emergence of new competitors;

 

·

operating and market price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable;

 

·

changes in our board or management;

 

·

sales or purchases of our common stock by insiders;

 

·

commencement of, or involvement in, litigation;

 

·

changes in governmental regulations; and

 

·

general economic conditions and slow or negative growth of related markets.

 

In addition, if the market for stocks in our industry or the stock market in general, experiences a loss of investor confidence, the market price of our common stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, financial condition or results of operations. If any of the foregoing occurs, it could cause the price of our common stock to fall and may expose us to lawsuits that, even if unsuccessful, could be costly to defend and a distraction to the board of directors and management.

 

If we are unable to pay the costs associated with being a public, reporting company, we may be forced to discontinue operations.

 

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink tier of the marketplace maintained by OTC Markets Group, Inc.. We expect to have significant costs associated with being a public, reporting company, which may raise substantial doubt about our ability to sell our equity securities and/or continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern will depend on positive cash flow, if any, from future operations and on our ability to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing. If we are unable to achieve the necessary product sales or raise or obtain needed funding to cover the costs of operating as a public, reporting company, we may be forced to discontinue operations.

 

Our common stock is listed for quotation on the OTC Pink tier of the marketplace maintained by OTC Markets Group, Inc., which may make it more difficult for investors to resell their shares due to suitability requirements.

 

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Pink tier of the marketplace maintained by OTC Markets Group, Inc. Broker-dealers often decline to trade in over-the-counter stocks given the market for such securities are often limited, the stocks are more volatile, and the risk to investors is greater. These factors may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of their shares. This could cause our stock price to decline.

 

We recently moved down to the OTC Pink tier from the OTCQB tier. We may be unable to restore eligibility for quotation of our common stock on the OTCQB tier and this will have a negative impact on our market price. The OTC Pink marketplace also does not provide as much liquidity as the OTCQB. Many broker-dealers will not trade or recommend OTC Pink stocks for their clients. Because the OTCQB generally increases transparency by maintaining higher reporting standards and requirements and imposing management certification and compliance requirements, broker-dealers are more likely to trade stocks on the OTCQB marketplace and national exchanges.

 

Our principal stockholders have the ability to exert significant control in matters requiring stockholder approval and could delay, deter, or prevent a change in control of our company.

 

Patrick Stiles, William Bossung and Fred Covely collectively have beneficial ownership of our common and preferred stock with over 33% of the shareholder votes. As a result, they have the ability to influence matters affecting our shareholders, including the election of our directors, the acquisition or disposition of our assets, and the future issuance of our shares. Because they control such shares, investors may find it difficult to replace our management if they disagree with the way our business is being operated. Because the influence by these shareholders could result in management making decisions that are in the best interest of those shareholders and not in the best interest of the investors, you may lose some or all of the value of your investment in our common stock. Investors who purchase our common stock should be willing to entrust all aspects of operational control to our current management team.

 

We do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

We do not intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. We do not plan on making any cash distributions in the manner of a dividend or otherwise. Our Board presently intends to follow a policy of retaining earnings, if any.

 

Future sales and issuances of our capital stock or rights to purchase capital stock could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our stockholders and could cause our stock price to decline.

 

Future sales and issuances of our capital stock or rights to purchase our capital stock could result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders. We may sell common stock, convertible securities and other equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner as we may determine from time to time. If we sell any such securities in subsequent transactions, investors may be materially diluted. New investors in such subsequent transactions could gain rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock.

 

In addition, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs and making some activities more time consuming. These 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. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. 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’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to their application and practice, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be adversely affected.

 

We also expect that being a public company and these new rules and regulations will make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee and compensation committee, and qualified executive officers.

 

As a result of disclosure of information in this annual report and in filings required of a public company, our business and financial condition will become more visible, which we believe may result in threatened or actual litigation, including by competitors and other third parties. If such claims are successful, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected, and even if the claims do not result in litigation or are resolved in our favor, these claims, and the time and resources necessary to resolve them, could divert the resources of our management and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

The market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse

 

Stockholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:

 

·

control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;

 

·

manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;

 

·

boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced salespersons;

 

·

excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and,

 

·

the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequential investor losses.

Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.

 

Due to the lack of a developed trading market for our securities, you may have difficulty selling your shares.

 

Our stock currently trades on the OTC Pink tier maintained by OTC Markets Group, Inc. There currently is a very limited public trading market for our common stock. The lack of a developed public trading market for our shares may have a negative effect on your ability to sell your shares in the future and it also may have a negative effect on the price, if any, for which you may be able to sell your shares. As a result an investment in the shares may be illiquid in nature and investors could lose some or all of their investment.

 

Our status as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act OF 2012 may make it more difficult to raise capital when we need to do it.

 

Because of the exemptions from various reporting requirements provided to us as an “emerging growth company” and because we will have an extended transition period for complying with new or revised financial accounting standards, we may be less attractive to investors and it may be difficult for us to raise additional capital as and when we need it. Investors may be unable to compare our business with other companies in our industry if they believe that our financial accounting is not as transparent as other companies in our industry. If we are unable to raise additional capital as and when we need it, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

 

Our internal controls may be inadequate, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Our internal controls may be inadequate or ineffective, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.

 

We will incur ongoing costs and expenses for SEC reporting and compliance, without increased revenue we may not be able to remain in compliance, making it difficult for investors to sell their shares, if at all.

 

Going forward, we will have ongoing SEC compliance and reporting obligations. Such ongoing obligations will require the Company to expend additional amounts on compliance, legal and auditing costs. In order for us to remain in compliance, we will require increased revenues to cover the cost of these filings, which could comprise a substantial portion of our available cash resources. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenues to remain in compliance, it may be difficult for you to resell any shares you may purchase, if at all.

 

We have outstanding convertible debt, which, if repaid will require a significant amount of capital, or if converted into our common stock could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.

 

We have entered into various convertible promissory notes with an aggregate outstanding balance of $322,910 as of December 31, 2017. The convertible promissory notes are convertible into our common stock at various conversion prices. See “Note 7 – Convertible Debt” in the Notes to the Financial Statements.

 

Repayment of the notes must be done at a premium to the then-outstanding balance. If, rather than repay these notes, we allow them to convert into our common stock after six months, the stock could be sold into the open market at the time of conversion can cause the price for our common stock to decline.

 

We have the right to issue additional common stock without consent of stockholders. This would have the effect of diluting investors’ ownership and could decrease the value of their investment.

 

At a Special Meeting on March 23, 2018, our shareholders approved the increase of our authorized common stock to 4,000,000,000 shares. Our Board of Directors chose to increase our authorized shares of common stock to 2,500,000,000 shares, reserving the right to further increase the authorized shares up to the amount approved by the shareholders. Of these authorized shares, 469,012,760 shares are issued and outstanding as of May 22, 2018. An additional 10,956,250 shares of common stock may be issued and outstanding if all of our currently outstanding warrants were exercised and converted into common stock, and an additional 1,876,055,739 shares if all of our currently outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into common stock. Therefore, we are authorized to issue up to an additional 143,975,251 unissued shares of our common stock, not taking into consideration shares of our common stock to be issued upon any conversion of our convertible notes, that may be issued by us for any purpose without the further consent or vote of our stockholders that would dilute stockholders’ percentage ownership of our company.

 

Our officers and directors can sell some of their stock, which may have a negative effect on our stock price and ability to raise additional capital, and may make it difficult for investors to sell their stock at any price.

 

Our officers and directors, as a group, are the beneficial owners of 237,070,010 shares of our common stock, representing approximately 34% of our total issued shares. Each individual officer and director may be able to sell up to 1% of our outstanding stock (currently approximately 4,690,127 shares) every 90 days in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, which may have a negative effect on our stock price and may prevent us from obtaining additional capital. In addition, if our officers and directors are selling their stock into the open market, it may make it difficult or impossible for investors to sell their stock at any price.

 

Our common stock is governed under The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990.

 

The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires additional disclosure relating to the market for penny stocks in connection with trades in any stock defined as a penny stock. The Commission has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Such exceptions include any equity security listed on NASDAQ and any equity security issued by an issuer that has (i) net tangible assets of at least $2,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for three years, (ii) net tangible assets of at least $5,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for less than three years, or (iii) average annual revenue of at least $6,000,000, if such issuer has been in continuous operation for less than three years. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith.

 

The forward looking statements contained in this annual report may prove incorrect.

 

This Annual Report contains certain forward-looking statements, including among others: (i) anticipated trends in our financial condition and results of operations; (ii) our business strategy for expanding distribution; and (iii) our ability to distinguish ourselves from our current and future competitors. These forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. In addition to the other risks described elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” discussion, important factors to consider in evaluating such forward-looking statements include: (i) changes to external competitive market factors or in our internal budgeting process which might impact trends in our results of operations; (ii) anticipated working capital or other cash requirements; (iii) changes in our business strategy or an inability to execute our strategy due to unanticipated changes in the biotechnology industry; and (iv) various competitive factors that may prevent us from competing successfully in the marketplace. In light of these risks and uncertainties, many of which are described in greater detail elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” discussion, there can be no assurance that the events predicted in forward-looking statements contained in this annual report will, in fact, transpire.

 

SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

We have made forward-looking statements in this Annual Report, including the sections entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business,” that are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Forward-looking statements include the information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, financing plans, competitive position, industry environment, potential growth opportunities, the effects of future regulation, and the effects of competition. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate” or similar expressions. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including the risks outlined under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this annual report.

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, events, levels of activity, performance or achievement. We are not under any duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this annual report to conform these statements to actual results, unless required by law.

 

ITEM 1B – UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

 

This Item is not applicable to us as we are not an accelerated filer, a large accelerated filer, or a well-seasoned issuer; however, we are voluntarily disclosing that we have not received any written comments from the Commission staff more than 180 days before the end of our fiscal year to which this Annual Report relates regarding our periodic or current reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and that remain unresolved.

 

ITEM 2 – PROPERTIES

 

We do not currently maintain office space.

 

ITEM 3 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

We are not a party to or otherwise involved in any legal proceedings.

 

In the ordinary course of business, we are from time to time involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and it is possible that the resolution of such matters might have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and/or results of operations. However, in the opinion of our management, other than as set forth herein, matters currently pending or threatened against us are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

 

ITEM 4 – MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

 

Not applicable.

The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires additional disclosure relating to the market for penny stocks in connection with trades in any stock defined as a penny stock. The Commission has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a few exceptions which we do not meet. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith.

 

Holders

 

As of May 22, 2018, there were 469,012,760 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and held by 30 holders of record, not including shares held in “street name” in brokerage accounts which is unknown.

 

Dividend Policy

 

We have not paid any dividends on our common stock and do not expect to do so in the foreseeable future. We intend to apply our earnings, if any, in expanding our operations and related activities. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon such factors as earnings levels, capital requirements, our financial condition and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.

 

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

 

We do not currently have a stock option or grant plan.

 

Recent Issuance of Unregistered Securities

Each note bears interest at the rate indicated and is due on the maturity date given above. Some of the notes are convertible into shares of our common stock from the date which is 181 days after the date of the note through the later of (i) the maturity date and (ii) the date of payment of the default amount due upon certain change of control transactions or a default of the note. Conversion of the notes is not allowed to the extent the conversion would result in beneficial ownership by the holder and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock. Some of the notes are convertible into shares of our common stock from the original date of the loan.

 

On some of the notes the conversion price of the notes is the lesser of $0.20 or a price equal to 50% of the lowest closing bid price of our common stock on the OTCQB, during the 20 trading day period prior to the conversion of a note. If our common stock is “chilled” by the Depository Trust Company at the time of conversion, the conversion price will be $0.20 or a price equal to 40% of the lowest closing bid price of our common stock on the OTCQB, during the 20 trading day period prior to the conversion of a note. Some of the notes have different discounts to market and some are based on 25 day trading period.

 

A default interest rate of 22% applies for any principal or interest that is not paid when due for some of the notes.

 

The issuances were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, the investor was sophisticated and familiar with our operations, and there was no solicitation in connection with the offering.

 

ITEM 6 – SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

 

As a smaller reporting company we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

ITEM 7 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

 

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Forward-looking statements are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky. These risks and uncertainties include international, national and local general economic and market conditions; demographic changes; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth; our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; and other risks that might be detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Although the forward-looking statements in this Annual Report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.

 

Summary Overview

 

We were formed in December 2014 and, therefore, have a relatively short operating history. We had revenues of approximately $128,105 in the year ended December 31, 2017, 94% of which was from a single customer. In March 2018, we ended our relationship with this customer and have shifted our focus from software services to medically-focused CBD hemp oil products.

 

Eqova Life Sciences

 

On October 17, 2017, we acquired Eqova Life Sciences, a Nevada corporation (“Eqova”), through an exchange of shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for all of the outstanding equity interest of Eqova. As part of the Exchange, we have brought on Eqova’s President and Director, Patrick Stiles, to serve as our President and Chief Executive Officer and as a Director on our Board of Directors.

 

Eqova is a medically-focused CBD company that develops clinical grade full spectrum hemp oil products, sold exclusively via partnerships with licensed medical practitioners to use with their patients. To date, we know of no other hemp oil company exclusively focuses on the practitioner market, leaving it largely underserved. According to The Hemp Business Journal, CBD products marketplace are projected to grow by 700% by 2020 with annual sales reaching $2.1 billion. With a head start in a growing marketplace, we believe that Eqova provides us with a prime growth opportunity with an established business. Initial revenues of our hemp oil products from the acquisition of Eqova through December 31, 2017 were $7,605.

 

Going Concern

 

As a result of our financial condition, we have received a report from our independent registered public accounting firm for our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 that includes an explanatory paragraph describing the uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern. From inception (December 19, 2014) through the end of December 31, 2017, we have incurred accumulated net losses of $7,683,382. In order to continue as a going concern we must effectively balance many factors and begin to generate revenue so that we can fund our operations from our sales and revenues. If we are not able to do this we may not be able to continue as an operating company. At our current revenue and burn rate, our cash on hand will last less than one month, and thus we must raise capital by issuing debt or through the sale of our stock. However, there is no assurance that our existing cash flow will be adequate to satisfy our existing operating expenses and capital requirements.

Revenues

 

The Company had revenues of $128,105 and $162,750 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. A single customer accounted for 94% and 100% of the revenue during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the revenue for advertising segment was $120,500 and $7,605 for the CBD segment.

Cost of revenue were $43,648 and $26,933 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and consisted of computer programmer and hosting costs.

 

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative expense was $713,274 and $758,427 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, a decrease of $45,153. The decrease was due primarily to normal fluctuations in operations. In the year ended December 31, 2017, general and administrative expense consisted mainly of consulting $ 100,496, selling expenses of $ 6,121, commissions of $ 6,000, transfer agent and filing fees of $ 9,907, and accounting fees of $ 29,000. In the year ended December 31, 2016, general and administrative expense consisted mainly of consulting $486,622, selling expenses of $5,332, commissions of $26,283, transfer agent and filing fees of $7,707, and accounting fees of $14,500.

It was $203,150 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and consisted of salaries and wages of $96,000 and consulting fees of $107,150. The increase was due primarily to acquisition of Eqova and bringing on Patrick Stiles as an officer of the Company and the increase in compensation to William Bossung. Additionally, there was preferred stock issued to Mr. Bossung and Mr. Covely as bonuses.

 

Net Operating Loss

 

As a result of the items discussed above, our net operating loss was $1,042,041 and $825,760 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, an increase of $216,281.

Other expense for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $2,545,175, and consisted primarily of interest expense, change in fair value of derivatives and loss on extinguishment of debt. The interest is high mainly from the derivatives on the convertible debt and the convertible preferred stock.

 

Net Loss

 

Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $3,562,075, or $(0.06) per share, an increase of $191,140 from the year ended December 31, 2016 when it was $3,370,935, or $(0.21) per share.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Introduction

 

During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, because we generated only nominal revenues, we had negative operating cash flows. Our cash on hand as of December 31, 2016 was $81,653, which was derived primarily from the sale of convertible notes to investors. Our monthly cash flow burn rate in 2017 was approximately $ 63,000. Although we have moderate short term cash needs, as our operating expenses increase we will face strong medium to long term cash needs. We anticipate that these needs will be satisfied through the issuance of debt or the sale of our securities until such time as our cash flows from operations will satisfy our cash flow needs. With the acquisition of Eqova, we expect to see an increase in revenues over the next few years that will help us maintain the cash we need to operate our business. However, we have incurred additional expenses in the acquisition of Eqova and the additional costs to be incurred through this expansion of our operations will increase our need for additional cash flow.

 

Our cash, current assets, total assets, current liabilities, and total liabilities as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are as follows:

 

		December 31, 2017				December 31, 2016				Change
Cash		$	81,653			$	24,102			$	57,551
Total Current Assets			227,004				143,830				83,174
Total Assets			1,122,743				146,183				976,560
Total Current Liabilities			2,301,870				2,505,602				(203,732	)
Total Liabilities		$	2,301,870			$	2,505,602			$	(203,732	)

 

Our cash increased by $57,551 as of December 31, 2017 as compared to December 31, 2016. Our total current assets increased by $83,174, from $143,830 to $227,004 as a result of cash received from the sales of convertible notes, the addition of Eqova’s inventory and a new note receivable-related party of $ 73,295. Our total assets decreased by $976,560, from $146,183 to $1,122,743, primarily because of the addition of goodwill and other assets from the acquisition of Eqova.

 

Our current and total liabilities decreased from $2,505,602 as of December 31, 2016 to $2,301,870 as of December 31, 2017. Our total liabilities as of the year ended December 31, 2017 consisted primarily of $322,910 in convertible debt with adjustments for the change in value on derivative liability, resulting in derivative liabilities of $1,822,568. The change in derivative liabilities results from the adjustable conversion rate on our convertible debt and warrants.

 

In order to repay our obligations in full or in part when due, we will be required to raise significant capital from other sources. There is no assurance, however, that we will be successful in these efforts.

 

Cash Requirements

 

Our cash on hand as of December 31, 2016 was $81,653. Our monthly cash flow burn rate in 2017 was approximately $ 63,000. Although we have moderate short term cash needs, as our operating expenses increase we will face strong medium to long term cash needs. We anticipate that these needs will be satisfied through the sale of our securities until such time as our cash flows from operations will satisfy our cash flow needs.

 

Sources and Uses of Cash

 

Operations

 

Our net cash used in operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $ 672,227 and $537,058, respectively, an increase of $ 135,169. Our net cash used in operating activities consisted primarily of net loss of $3,562,075, non-cash interest of $2,590,176, loss on extinguishment of debt of $169,599, non-cash compensation of $137,712 and change in fair value on derivative liability of $111,307.

 

Investments

 

Our cash flow used in investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $31,972 and $47,876, respectively. The decrease in 2017 was primarily due to a decrease in payments for notes receivable of $13,295.

 

Financing

 

Our net cash provided by financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $761,750 and $607,500, respectively, an increase of $154,250. The increase in 2017 was primarily due to the increase of proceeds received from the issuance of convertible debt of $973,000 compared to $485,000 in 2016.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in our consolidated financial statements and related notes. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates and such differences may be material.

 

Management considers the following policies critical because they are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and operating results, and they require management to make judgments and estimates about inherently uncertain matters.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 of the financial statements. The estimates and judgments will also affect the reported amounts for certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these good faith estimates and judgments.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Grey Cloak Tech, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Grey Cloak Tech, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operation, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 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 described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has generated minimal revenues from operations. Since its inception, the Company has been engaged substantially in financing activities and developing its business plan and incurring start up costs and expenses. As a result, the Company incurred accumulated net losses from Inception (December 19, 2014) through the period ended December 31, 2017 of $7,683,382. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3 to the accompanying financial statements. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, 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.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

DECEMBER 31, 2017 and 2016

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Grey Cloak Tech Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 19, 2014. The Company was formed to provide cloud based software to detect advertising fraud on the internet. The Company has acquired Eqova Life Sciences and is transitioning it business towards marketing and selling CBD oil products.

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Cash

 

Cash includes cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with maturities of less than three months from inception, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:

 

Description	Estimated Life
Computer equipment	3 years

 

The estimated useful lives are based on the nature of the assets as well as current operating strategy and legal considerations such as contractual life. Future events, such as property expansions, property developments, new competition, or new regulations, could result in a change in the manner in which the Company uses certain assets requiring a change in the estimated useful lives of such assets.

 

Maintenance and repairs that neither materially add to the value of the asset nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred. Gains or losses on disposition of property and equipment are included in the statements of operations. There were no dispositions during the periods presented.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Website

 

The Company capitalizes the costs associated with the development of the Company’s website pursuant to ASC Topic 350. Other costs related to the maintenance of the website are expensed as incurred. Amortization is provided over the estimated useful lives of 3 years using the straight-line method. The Company has commenced amortization upon completion of the Company’s fully operational website. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $2,368 and $933, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (2) the product or service has been provided to the customer; (3) the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable; and (4) the collection of our fees is probable.

 

The Company will record revenue when it is realizable and earned and the computer programming services or marketing services have been rendered to the customers. Additionally, the Company will record revenue from the sale of its software when the software is delivered to the customer or it will be recognized ratably throughout the term of the contract.

 

The Company records revenue upon shipment of the products to the customers.

 

Concentration

 

One customer accounted for 94% and 100% of total revenue earned during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 100% and 100% of the accounts receivable is due from this customer at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Advertising

 

Advertising costs are anticipated to be expensed as incurred; however there were advertising costs included in general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not have any amounts recorded pertaining to uncertain tax positions.

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.

 

The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

 

Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

 

The derivative liabilities in connection with the conversion feature of the convertible debt, classified as a Level 3 liability, is the only financial liability measure at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

The change in Level 3 financial instrument is as follows:

 

Balance, January 1, 2016		$	—
Issued during the year ended December 31, 2016			982,481
Change in fair value recognized in operations			1,423,715
Converted during the year ended December 31, 2016			(367,244	)
Balance, December 31, 2016		$	2,038,952

 

Balance, January 1, 2017		$	2,038,952
Issued during the year ended December 31, 2017			2,518,163
Change in fair value recognized in operations			(111,307	)
Converted during the year ended December 31, 2017			(2,623,240	)

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Convertible Instruments

 

The Company evaluates and account for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities”.

 

Applicable GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has been determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) as follows: The Company records when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.

 

The Company accounts for the conversion of convertible debt when a conversion option has been bifurcated using the general extinguishment standards. The debt and equity linked derivatives are removed at their carrying amounts and the shares issued are measured at their then-current fair value, with any difference recorded as a gain or loss on extinguishment of the two separate accounting liabilities. During the year ending December 31, 2017, the Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of $169,588 from the conversion of convertible debt with a bifurcated conversion option.

 

Common Stock Purchase Warrants

 

The Company classifies as equity any contracts that require physical settlement or net-share settlement or provide a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in the Company’s own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) provided that such contracts are indexed to our own stock as defined in ASC 815-40 ("Contracts in Entity's Own Equity"). The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside our control) or give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company assesses classification of common stock purchase warrants and other free standing derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification is required.

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAX

 

The provisions for federal income tax at 34% for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 consist of the following:

 

		Year Ended December 31, 2017				Year Ended December 31, 2016
Income tax expense (benefit) at statutory rate		$	(1,246,000	)		$	(1,179,800	)
Permanent differences			942,000				931,900
Change in valuation allowance			304,000				247,900
Income tax benefit		$	—			$	—

 

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to the Company’s net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 are as follows:

 

		Year Ended December 31, 2017				Year Ended December 31, 2016
Net operating loss		$	513,000			$	408,700
Valuation allowance			(513,000	)			(408,700	)
Net deferred tax asset		$	—			$	—

 

The Company has approximately $2,447,000 of net operating losses (“NOL”) carried forward to offset taxable income in future years which expire commencing in fiscal 2034. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the assessment, management has established a full valuation allowance against all of the deferred tax assets relating to NOLs for every period because it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities were remeasured to reflect the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, resulting in a deferred tax expense of $343,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017 that is still fully valued against as of December 31, 2017. This expense is attributable to the Company being in a net deferred tax asset position at the time of remeasurement. As the company maintains fully valuation allowance, this amount can be seen on the rate reconciliation as an adjustment to deferred tax asset and corresponding valuation allowance.

 

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”) was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Changes include, but are not limited to, a federal corporate tax rate decrease from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the transition of U.S international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial system, and a one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings. We have estimated our provision for income taxes in accordance with the Tax Act and guidance available as of the date of this filing but have kept the full valuation allowance. As a result have recorded no income tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2017, the period in which the legislation was enacted.

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAX (CONTINUED)

 

On December 22, 2017, Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118") was issued to address the application of US GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act. The deferred tax expense recorded in connection with the remeasurement of deferred tax assets is a provisional amount and a reasonable estimate at December 31, 2017 based upon the best information currently available. The ultimate impact may differ from these provisional amounts, possibly materially, due to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company has made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, and actions the Company may take as a result of the Tax Act. Any subsequent adjustment to these amounts will be recorded to current tax expense in the quarter of 2018 when the analysis is complete. The accounting is expected to be complete when the 2017 U.S. corporate income tax return is filed in 2018.

 

NOTE 8 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Authorized Stock

 

The Company has authorized 75,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001 per share.  Each common share entitles the holder to one vote on any matter on which action of the stockholders of the corporation is sought. During February 2017, the Company increased authorized number of common shares to 500,000,000. Also, the Company increased the preferred stock to 75,000,000 shares and designated 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock to Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. During January 2018, the Company increased its authorized number of common shares to 1,000,000,000. During April 2018, the Company increased authorized number of common shares to 2,500,000,000.

 

On October 16, 2017, the Company filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of the Rights, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Amended Certificate”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. The Amended Certificate reduces the number of preferred shares designated as Series A Preferred Stock from 25,000,000 shares to 1,333,334 shares. The Amended Certificate also changes the conversion and voting rights of the Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock is now convertible into the number of shares of our common stock equal to 0.00006% of our outstanding common stock upon conversion. The voting rights of the Series A Preferred Stock are now equal to the number of shares of common stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock may convert.

ITEM 9 - CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

 

There are no events required to be disclosed under this Item.

 

ITEM 9A - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

(a)       Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2017, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of December 31, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to the material weaknesses identified and described in Item 9A(b).

 

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

 

(b)       Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

·

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and any disposition of our assets;

 

·

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

 

·

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, Management identified the following two material weaknesses that have caused management to conclude that, as of December 31, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial reporting, were not effective at the reasonable assurance level:

 

1.       We do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

 

2.       We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.

 

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

 

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent 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 the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only our management’s report in this Annual Report.

 

(c)       Remediation of Material Weaknesses

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

 

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

 

(d)       Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report, fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Family Relationships

 

There are no family relationships between any of our officers or directors.

 

Other Directorships; Director Independence

 

Other than as set forth above, none of our officers and directors is a director of any company with a class of securities registered pursuant to section 12 of the Exchange Act or subject to the requirements of section 15(d) of such Act or any company registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

 

For purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the definitions set out in NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2). The OTCQB on which shares of common stock are quoted does not have any director independence requirements. The NASDAQ definition of “Independent Officer” means a person other than an Executive Officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, 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. According to the NASDAQ definition, none of our directors are independent.

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s directors and executive officers and persons who 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. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

 

Except as set forth below, to the Company’s knowledge, none of its officers, directors, or beneficial owners of more than ten percent of its common stock failed to file on a timely basis reports required by section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during the most recent fiscal year or prior fiscal years.

 

Board Committees

 

Our Board of Directors does not maintain a separate audit, nominating or compensation committee. Functions customarily performed by such committees are performed by its Board of Directors as a whole. We are not required to maintain such committees under the applicable rules of the OTCQB. We do not currently have an “audit committee financial expert” since we currently do not have an audit committee in place. We intend to create board committees, including an independent audit committee, in the near future.

 

        We do not currently have a process for security holders to send communications to the Board.

 

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Board of Directors met as necessary.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

None of our officers or directors has, in the past ten years, filed bankruptcy, been convicted in a criminal proceeding or named in a pending criminal proceeding, been the subject of any order, judgment, or decree of any court permanently or temporarily enjoining him or her from any securities activities, or any other disclosable event required by Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We have not adopted a written code of ethics, primarily because we believe and understand that our officers and directors adhere to and follow ethical standards without the necessity of a written policy.

Director Independence

 

For purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the definitions set out in NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2). The OTCQB on which shares of common stock are quoted does not have any director independence requirements. The NASDAQ definition of “Independent Officer” means a person other than an Executive Officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, 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. According to the NASDAQ definition, none of our directors are independent.
