PART I
Our Business
We are in the business of developing chewing gums to deliver nutraceutical/functional ingredients for applications such as appetite suppressant, cholesterol suppressant, vitamin delivery, antioxidant delivery and motion sickness suppressant.
Our plan is to market nutraceutical/functional chewing gum and in the future medicinal chewing gum. We are 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 initially expected to reveal functional chewing gum for new applications by the end of 2014, but we were not able to do so. We first need to raise additional capital to develop our chewing gum to deliver 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 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 |
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 officers and directors. They oversee all responsibilities in 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.
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 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 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 $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.
On April 10, 2017, we entered into an Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Assets (the “Agreement”) with our prior officer and director, Rene Lauritsen. Pursuant to the Agreement, we transferred all assets related to our nutraceutical chewing gum business to Mr. Lauritsen. In exchange for this assignment of assets, Mr. Lauritsen agreed to return his 37,000,000 of our shares for cancellation.
Prior to resigning, Mr Lauritsen appointed Micahel Freitag as our sole officer and director and we agreed to compensate him with 37,000,000 shares of our common stock for his first six months of service.
As of April 10, 2017, we intended to raise further capital, bring all public filings current and set about a new business direction based around a novel therapy and the intellectual property generated from our research and development activities on ethanol based intoxication.
Subsequently, on March 26, 2018, Mr. Freitag sold his control shares along with another shareholder, Krono Partners Limited, to London Pharma Holdings Limited for $200,000. This resulted in a change of control.
Also on March 26, 2018, Mr. Freitag resigned from his official positions as Director and CEO of the Company, and on the same day the shareholders of the Corporation voted Mr. Peter Maddocks as Director, and CEO.
On June 21, 2018, we signed an escrow agreement with Mr. Lauritsen to serve as our Chief Operating Officer and to contribute the IP for the company’s chewing gum business. In that agreement, we agreed to enter into an employment agreement with Mr. Lauritsen and to pay him a salary of $7,500 per month. For the IP, we agreed to compensate Mr. Lauritsen with 1,000,000 shares of our common stock and cash in the amount of $75,000 USD. Neither the employment agreement nor the IP transfer agreement have been executed as of the date of this report.
We do not lease or own any real property. We maintain our offices at 340 S Lemon Ave # 4041 Walnut, California
91789. Our officer and director provides this space without charge.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
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
Not applicable.

PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Market Information
Our common stock is quoted under the symbol “ALTA” on the OTCPink operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc.
There is currently no active trading market for our securities. There is no assurance that a regular trading market will develop, or if developed, that it will be sustained. Therefore, a shareholder may be unable to resell his securities in our company.
Penny Stock
The Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) 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 approximately 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
None.
Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
We did not issue any securities under any equity compensation plan as of September 30, 2016.
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, 2016 and 2015
We generated no revenue for the period from July 21, 2008 (Date of Inception) until September 30, 2016. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time that we are able to market and sell our products.
6 |
We had operating expenses of $14,731 for the year ended September 30, 2016, as compared with operating expenses of $20,402 for the year ended September 30, 2015. Our operating expenses for the year ended September 30, 2016 consisted legal fees of $7,813, amortization of $3,100, general and administrative expenses of $2,318 and accounting and audit fees of $1,500. Our operating expenses for the year ended September 30, 2015 consisted legal fees of $10,755, accounting and audit fees of $9,100, amortization of $517 and general and administrative expenses of $30.
We anticipate our operating expenses will increase as we implement our business plan.
We had other expenses consisting of $7,846 for the year ended September 30, 2016, which consisted of interest expense of $18,019, offset by a gain from forgiveness of debt of $10,173, as compared with other expenses of $15,725 for the year ended September 30, 2015, which consisted entirely of interest expenses.
During the year ended September 30, 2016, we negotiated a settlement of certain legal expenses, in which $10,173 of accrued invoices was forgiven. We do not expect to achieve other income in future quarters.
We recorded a net loss of $22,577 for the year ended September 30, 2016, as compared with $36,127 for the year ended September 30, 2015.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2016, we had $0 in current assets and currently liabilities of $266,629. We had a working capital deficit of $266,629 as of September 30, 2016.
Operating activities used $27,631 in cash for the year September 30, 2016, as compared with $17,369 in cash for the same year ended September 30, 2015. Our negative operating cash flow for the year ended September 30, 2016 was attributable to funding the loss for the year, a decrease in accrued expenses and forgiveness of debt, offset by an increase in accrued interest. Our negative operating cash flow for the year ended September 30, 2015 was mainly attributable to funding the loss for the year, offset mainly by an increase in accrued expenses and accrued interest.
Financing activities provided $25,000 for the year ended September 30, 2016 when on December 10, 2015, we entered into a $25,000 Demand Promissory Note with an outside investor. Under the terms of the note, simple interest is at 10% and all principal and interest is due on demand. In comparison, financing activities provided $20,000 for the year ended September 30, 2015 as a result of a $20,000 Demand Promissory Note with an outside investor. Under the terms of the note, simple interest is at 10% and all principal and interest is due on demand..
Based upon our current financial condition, we do not have sufficient cash to operate our business at the current level for the next twelve months. We intend to fund operations through increased sales and debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund expenditures or other cash requirements. We plan to seek additional financing in a private equity offering to secure funding for operations. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funding. If we are not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of our business plan will be impaired. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance in ASU 2016-02 supersedes the lease recognition requirements in ASC Topic 840, Leases (FAS 13). ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on its financial statements.
7 |
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The standard should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. The Company will evaluate the impact of adopting this standard prospectively upon any transactions of acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its FV, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The guidance should be adopted on a prospective basis for the annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services and aligns most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. ASU 2018-07 becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement is not expected to have an impact on the Company's financial statements.
We do not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
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.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2016, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Alterola Biotech, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Alterola Biotech, Inc. as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the entity’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the entity will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 8 to the financial statements, the entity has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 8. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 AND 2015
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 to acquire exploration and development stage mineral properties.
On October 1, 2008, the Company incorporated JRE Exploration Ltd, (“JRE”) a wholly owned subsidiary in Canada to hold 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. (See Note 3). In keeping with the change of business focus, on July 9, 2010, the Company changed its name to Alterola Biotech Inc.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 a September 30 fiscal year end.
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 the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and 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.
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.
Website Development Costs
Costs incurred in developing and maintaining a website are expensed 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 are amortized using straight-line basis over two years, the estimated economic life of the completed website. For the year ended September 30, 2016, the amortization expense for the Company’s website was $3,100, as compared to $517 for the year ended September 30, 2015.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 AND 2015
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Alterola’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accrued expenses, accrued interest and notes payable. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value (“FV”) due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
FV 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 FV 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 FV of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk including our own credit risk.
In addition to defining FV, the disclosure requirements around FV establish a FV 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 FV are observable in the market. Each FV measurement is reported in one of the three levels which is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the FV measurement in its entirety. These levels are:
Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
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 FVs 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 FV 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.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Revenue Recognition
The Company will recognize revenue when products are fully delivered or services were 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 FV in accordance with ASC Topic 718. To date, the Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance in ASU 2016-02 supersedes the lease recognition requirements in ASC Topic 840, Leases (FAS 13). ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on its financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The standard should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. The Company will evaluate the impact of adopting this standard prospectively upon any transactions of acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The guidance removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its FV, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The guidance should be adopted on a prospective basis for the annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services and aligns most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. ASU 2018-07 becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement is not expected to have an impact on the Company's financial statements.
Alterola has reviewed recent accounting pronouncements issued to the date of the issuance of these financial statements, and we do not believe any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 AND 2015
NOTE 4 – NOTES PAYABLE (CONTINUED)
The Convertible note is convertible at the option of the holder. The number of shares of common stock into which the convertible note will be converted is determined by the Fair Market Price (“FMV”) of the common stock at the date of conversion. In the event there is no determinable market price the FMV shall be:
a) The share price at the last private offering of the common stock, or, b) the 30 day moving average of the Common Stock in the event a public listing of the common stock has taken place.
Notes payable of $130,000 are currently in default as of the date of issuance of these financial statements.
NOTE 5 – CAPITAL STOCK
The Company has 140,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock authorized and 10,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock authorized.
On May 3, 2010, pursuant to the sale of JRE Exploration Ltd. (Note 3) the Company received 55,000,000 of its Common stock from the former Company president with a FV of $52,246 for cancellation, as consideration for the sale of JRE, our wholly owned subsidiary.
On July 16, 2013, the Company issued 37,000,000 shares of common stock to its director for services with a deemed value of $37,000. These shares were subsequently cancelled in April 2017.
The Company has 114,980,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015 respectively. There are no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015.
NOTE 6 – 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.
NOTE 7 – LIQUIDITY & 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 dependst 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 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In accordance with ASC Topic 855-10, the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to September 30, 2016 to the date these financial statements were issued, and determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements. In April 2017, the Company entered into an assignment agreement with its director to convey all assets and intellectual property to its former director for the cancellation of 37,000,000 shares of the Company.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
On June 8, 2017, KLJ & Associates, LLP resigned as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and on June 9, 2018, the Company engaged MJF & Associates (the “New Accountant”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The engagement of the New Accountant was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.
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, 2016. 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, 2016 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, 2016, 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, 2018: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out in (i) and (ii) are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for non-accelerated filers set forth in Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
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.
10 |
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.

Committees of the Board
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, Peter Maddocks, 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.
