PART I
Corporate History
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 21, 2008 under the name “Jedediah Resources Corp.” We are a development stage company.
After our formation, we were in the business of mineral exploration. On May 3, 2010, however, we entered into two agreements with Ola S. Juvkam-Wold (“Juvkam-Wold”), who was then our Chief Executive Officer and a director of our company: a Stock Purchase Agreement and General Release and Settlement Agreement. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Mr. Juvkam-Wold agreed to cancel and return 55,000,000 shares of common stock owned by him to us in consideration for all of the issued and outstanding stock of our wholly owned subsidiary, JRE Exploration Ltd. (“JRE”), and the cancellation of all debt owed by JRE to us. Pursuant to the Release and Settlement, Mr. Juvkam-Wold released us from any and all claims Mr. Juvkam-Wold may have against us or our affiliates. Our mineral exploration business was housed in JRE, and the transaction jettisoned the business from our company. Mr. Juvkam-Wold resigned as our officer and director and Soren Nielson took his place.
On May 3, 2010, we entered into an Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement (“IP Agreement”) with Soren Nielsen pursuant to which Mr. Nielsen transferred his right, title and interest in all intellectual property relating to certain chewing gum compositions having appetite suppressant activity (the “IP”) to us in consideration for the issuance of 55,000,000 newly issued shares of our common stock. Following the acquisition of the IP we changed our business direction and, during the quarterly period covered by this report, were pursuing the development of chewing gums for the delivery of Nutraceutical/functional ingredients for applications such as appetite suppressant, cholesterol suppressant, vitamin delivery, antioxidant delivery and motion sickness suppressant.
On July 9, 2010, we changed our name from “Jedediah Resources Corp.” to “Alterola Biotech Inc,” increased our authorized common stock to 140,000,000 shares and conducted a forward split of 10 for 1 of our issued and outstanding common stock.
On December 21, 2010, we issued 250,000 shares at $0.20 for aggregate proceeds of $50,000.
On February 28, 2011, Mr. Nielson resigned as our officer and director and Tobias Hedstrom took his place. On March 15, 2011, we entered into an agreement with Mr. Nielsen to cancel and return 15,000,000 shares he held in our company back to treasury in exchange for a complete release of all claims. We also paid a company controlled by Mr. Nielson $50,000 for unpaid and accrued management fees.
On February 12, 2012, Mr. Hedstrom resigned as our officer and director and Rene Lauritsen took his place. Mr. Lauritsen is currently the sole member of our board of directors and our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary.
On July 16, 2013, we issued Mr. Lauritsen 37,000,000 shares of our common stock in consideration for his service as our officer from February 12, 2012.
Plan of Operation
Our plan is to use our IP and develop and market Nutraceutical/functional chewing gum and in the future medicinal chewing gum. We are ardently researching new ways to use chewing gum as a delivery system, expanding on the kinds of applications chewing gum has been used for in the past. We expect to reveal functional chewing gum for new applications by the end of 2014 and in the future we plan to develop gum for the delivery of medicines.
Our mission is to improve the health and quality of life for millions of people all over the world who are unable to or have difficulty with swallowing tablets. As much as 40% of the adult population and an even greater percentage of the adolescent population have difficulties swallowing pills, and we believe our solutions will greatly benefit them.
Presently, we are focused on nutrition and health chewing gum with natural based ingredients. The products below are currently under development and we are working to file patents to protect the ingredients in these products.
- Appetite suppressor
- Cholesterol suppressor
- Antioxidant gum
- Motion sickness suppressor
- Vitamin gum
In order to implement our business plan, however, we will need to raise funds. We were able to secure a small loan of $25,000 to pay the legal and accounting fees needed to bring our reporting filings current with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We will need more funds to meet our timetable of introducing Nutraceutical/functional chewing gum by the end of 2014.

Regulatory Matters
We are subject to the laws and regulations of those jurisdictions in which we plan to sell our product, which are generally applicable to business operations, such as business licensing requirements, income taxes, and payroll taxes.
Employees
We have no other employees other than our sole officer and director. He oversees all responsibilities in the areas of corporate administration, business development and research. If finances permit, however, we intend to expand our current management to retain skilled directors, officers and employees with experience relevant to our business focus.
We do not lease or own any real property. We maintain our offices at 340 S Lemon Ave # 4041 Walnut, California 91789.
We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding. We are not aware of any pending legal proceeding to which any of our officers, directors, or any beneficial holders of 5% or more of our voting securities are adverse to us or have a material interest adverse to us.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Penny Stock
The Securities Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;(b) contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of Securities' laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;(d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;(e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and;(f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation.
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with; (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;(b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;(c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock if it becomes subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, because our common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.
Holders of Our Common Stock
Currently, we have forty-eight (48) holders of record of our common stock.
Stock Option Grants
To date, we have not granted any stock options.
Dividends
There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:
1. | we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or; |
2. | our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution. |
We have not declared any dividends and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
On July 16, 2013, we issued Mr. Lauritsen 37,000,000 shares of our common stock in consideration for his service as our officer from February 12, 2012.
Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
We did not issue any securities under any equity compensation plan as of September 30, 2013.
Item 6. Selected Financial Data
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse affect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC.
Results of Operations for the Year Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and Period from Inception (July 21, 2008) through September 30, 2013
We generated no revenue for the period from July 21, 2008 (Date of Inception) until September 30, 2013. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time that we are able to market and sell our products.
We had operating expenses of $59,132 for the year ended September 30, 2013, as compared with operating expenses of $3,650 for the year ended September 30, 2012. Our operating expenses for the year ended September 30, 2013 consisted of stock-based compensation of $37,000, legal fees of $14,982, accounting and audit fees of $4,650, and consulting fees of $2,500. Our operating expenses for the year ended September 30, 2012 consisted entirely of accounting and audit fees of $3,650. We had operating expenses of $417,027 for the period from inception (July 21, 2008) through September 30, 2014.
We had other expenses consisting of $13,369 for the year ended September 30, 2013, which consisted of interest expenses of $10,494 and financing costs of $2,875, as compared with other expenses consisting entirely of interest expenses of $9,600 for the year ended September 30, 2012.
We recorded a net loss of $72,501 for the year ended September 30, 2013, as compared with $13,250 for the year ended September 30, 2012.
We anticipate our operating expenses will increase as we implement our business plan.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2013, we had total current assets of $22,952 and current liabilities of $179,579. Thus, we have a working capital deficit of $156,627 as of September 30, 2013.
Operating activities used $30,673 in cash for the year ended September 30, 2013. Our net loss was the main reason for our negative operating cash flow. Financing activities during the year ended September 30, 2013 generated $40,000 in cash during the period entirely from proceeds of notes.
As of September 30, 2013, we have insufficient cash to operate our business at the current level for the next twelve months and insufficient cash to achieve our business goals. The success of our business plan beyond the next 12 months is contingent upon us obtaining additional financing. We intend to fund operations through debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund our capital expenditures, working capital, or other cash requirements. We do not have any formal commitments or arrangements for the sales of stock or the advancement or loan of funds at this time. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.
Going Concern
We have negative working capital, have incurred losses since inception, and have not yet received revenues from sales of products or services. These factors create substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our generating cash from the sale of our common stock and/or obtaining debt financing and attaining future profitable operations. Management’s plans include selling our equity securities and obtaining debt financing to fund our capital requirement and ongoing operations; however, there can be no assurance we will be successful in these efforts.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of
Alterola Biotech, Inc.
Las Vegas, Nevada
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Alterola Biotech, Inc. (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2013 and 2012 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended and the period from July 21, 2008 (Date of Inception) through September 30, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Alterola Biotech, Inc. as of September 30, 2013 and 2012 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and the period from July 21, 2008 (Date of Inception) through September 30, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Alterola Biotech, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 9 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from operations, has negative working capital and is in need of additional capital to grow its operations so that it can become profitable. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regard to these matters are described in Note 9. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2013
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS
Alterola Biotech, Inc. (“Alterola” and the “Company”) is a development stage company and was incorporated in Nevada on July 21, 2008. The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring exploration and development stage mineral properties.
On October 1, 2008, the Company incorporated JRE Exploration Ltd, (“JRE”) a wholly owned subsidiary in Canada for the purpose of holding its Canadian mineral claims.
On May 3, 2010, the Company changed its focus to the development of intellectual property and accordingly sold JRE to the former president. In keeping with the change of business focus, on July 9, 2010, the Company changed its name to Alterola Biotech Inc.
Effective July 9, 2010, the Board of Directors authorized a 10 for 1 forward stock split on the issued common shares. The authorized number of common shares was increased from 90,000,000 to 140,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001. The number of authorized Preferred shares remained unchanged at 10,000,000 with a par value of $0.001. All references in the accompanying financial statements to the number of common shares have been restated to reflect the forward stock split.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Development Stage Company
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles related to development-stage companies. A development-stage company is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, and there has been no significant revenues there from.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.
Accounting Basis
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” accounting). The Company has adopted a September 30 fiscal year end.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers highly liquid financial instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Intellectual Property
The Company does not amortize intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, rather such assets are required to be tested for impairment at least annually or sooner whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. The Company amortizes its intangible assets with definite lives over their estimated useful lives and reviews these assets for impairment. The Company will amortize its acquired intangible assets with definite lives over the estimated economic life of the completed product. During the year ending September 30, 2011, the value of the intellectual property was determined to be $0 and impairment expense of $21,500 was recorded.
Website Development Costs
Costs incurred in developing and maintaining a website are charged to expense when incurred for the planning, content population, and administration or maintenance of the website. All development costs for the application, infrastructure, and graphics development are capitalized and subsequently reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalized costs will be amortized using straight-line basis over two years, the estimated economic life of the completed website. As of September 30, 2013, the Company’s website was not in service; accordingly no amortization has been recorded during the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 350, the Company regularly reviews the carrying value of intangible and other long-lived assets for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that may suggest impairment. If impairment testing indicates a lack of recoverability, an impairment loss is recognized by the Company if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Alterola’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, deferred financing costs, accrued expenses, accrued interest and notes payable. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk including our own credit risk.
In addition to defining fair value, the disclosure requirements around fair value establish a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs which is expanded. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels which is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:
Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2013
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
Level 2 – inputs are based upon significant observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.
The carrying value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities which consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and notes payable are valued using level 1 inputs. The Company believes that the recorded values approximate their fair value due to the short maturity of such instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, exchange or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Revenue Recognition
The Company will recognize revenue when products are fully delivered or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured.
Loss Per Common Share
Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each reporting period. Diluted loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options and warrants, using various methods such as the treasury stock or modified treasury stock method in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during each reporting period. The Company does not have any potentially dilutive instruments.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 718. To date, the Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.
During the year ended September 30, 2013, the Company has issued 37,000,000 shares of common stock to its director.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Alterola does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

NOTE 6 – NOTES PAYABLE (CONTINUED)
The Convertible note is convertible at the option of the holder.

On November 17, 2010, the President entered into a stock cancellation agreement the Company whereby 40,000,000 common shares were returned to treasury and cancelled. In consideration the Company will issue to the President options to acquire common stock pursuant to the stock option plan which will be adopted by the Company at some time in the future.
On December 21, 2010, the Company issued 250,000 shares at $0.20 for aggregate proceeds of $50,000.
In February 2011, the former President returned 15,000,000 shares of common stock for voluntary cancellation.

NOTE 8 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Alterola neither owns nor leases any real or personal property. An officer has provided office space without charge. There is no obligation for the officer to continue this arrangement. Such costs are immaterial to the financial statements and accordingly are not reflected herein. The officers and directors are involved in other business activities and most likely will become involved in other business activities in the future.
On July 16, 2013, the Company issued 37,000,000 shares of common stock to its director for services rendered with a deemed value of $ 37,000.
NOTE 9 – LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
Alterola has negative working capital, has incurred losses since inception, and has not yet received revenues from sales of products or services. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The ability of Alterola to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company generating cash from the sale of its common stock and/or obtaining debt financing and attaining future profitable operations. Management’s plans include selling its equity securities and obtaining debt financing to fund its capital requirement and ongoing operations; however, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts.

NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES
For the year ended September 30, 2013, Alterola has incurred net losses and, therefore, has no tax liability. The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carry-forward has been fully reserved. The cumulative net operating loss carry-forward is approximately $450,503 at September 30, 2013, and will expire beginning in the year 2028.
The provision for Federal income tax consists of the following for the years ended September 30:
2013 | 2012 | |||||||
Federal income tax benefit attributable to: | ||||||||
Current operations | $ | 24,650 | $ | 4,505 | ||||
Less: valuation allowance | (24,650 | ) | (4,505 | ) | ||||
Net provision for Federal income taxes | $ | 0 | $ | 0 |
The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 34% of significant items comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows as of September 30:
2013 | 2012 | |||||||
Deferred tax asset attributable to: | ||||||||
Net operating loss carryover | $ | 153,171 | $ | 128,521 | ||||
Less: valuation allowance | (153,171 | ) | (128,521 | ) | ||||
Net deferred tax asset | $ | 0 | $ | 0 |
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $450,503 for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years.
NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In accordance with ASC Topic 855-10, the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to September 30, 2013 to the date these financial statements were issued, and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, being September 30, 2013. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based upon that evaluation, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2013 based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As a result of this assessment, management concluded that, as of September 30, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. Our management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.
We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting. During the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we hope to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending September 30, 2014: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out in (i) and (ii) are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for non-accelerated filers set forth in Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
Remediation of Material Weakness
We are unable to remedy our controls related to the inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management until we receive financing to hire additional employees. We are currently in the process of hiring an outsourced controller to improve the controls for accounting and financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting are or will be capable of preventing or detecting all errors or all fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. 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. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements, due to error or fraud will not occur or 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 may occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk.

Our company currently does not have nominating, compensation or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor does our company have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our directors believe that it is not necessary to have such committees, at this time, because the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the board of directors.
Our company does not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. The board of directors believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. Our company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the board of directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The board of directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.
A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our board of directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to our CEO and director, Rene Lauritsen, at the address appearing on the first page of this annual report.
Code of Ethics
We have not adopted a Code of Ethics that applies our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.
