PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
General Information about Our Company
Concrete Leveling Services, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) was incorporated on August 28, 2007 in the State of Nevada. The Company's principal offices are located at 5046 East Boulevard Northwest, Canton, Ohio 44718. In Ohio, the Company does business under the trade name of CLS Fabricating, Inc. On March 24, 2017, we entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement, whereby we will acquire all of the outstanding common stock of Jericho Associates, Inc. (“Jericho”), a company operating in the gaming, hospitality and entertainment industries, in exchange for 7,151,416 shares of our common stock which were contingently issued to the shareholders of Jericho. In July 2017, an additional 481,000 shares were issued to shareholders of Jericho under the same contingencies as the original shares. The Equity Purchase Agreement provided that by September 24, 2017, if the management of Jericho does not identify at least one entity or business opportunity for acquisition, in order to supplement the Company’s current business operations, the shares issued as part of the agreement shall be returned to the Company and the transaction will be nullified. On September 22, 2017, the Company and Jericho mutually agreed to extend the performance requirement until December 24, 2017. On November 9, 2017, the Company and Jericho mutually agreed to extend the performance requirement until March 1, 2018. We have never declared bankruptcy, it has never been in receivership, and it has never been involved in any legal action or proceedings.

Principal services
Once the merger with Jericho finalizes, the Company will operate two business divisions, which will be operated simultaneously and consist of the following:
The concrete leveling division of the business will fabricate and market a concrete leveling service unit utilized in the concrete leveling industry. This unit secures to the back of a truck and consists of a mixing device to mix lime with water and a pumping device capable of pumping the mixture under pressure into pre-drilled holes in order to raise the level of any flat concrete surface.
The gaming and hospitality division of the business will focus on casino gaming, hospitality, entertainment and leisure time industries, and will pursue opportunities in the tribal and commercial casino gaming industries, both in California and Nevada. The Company will also operate in the casino gaming technology industry, and is seeking opportunities to partner, joint venture, or acquire companies developing casino games that combine traditional casino games with the challenge of video games and the playability of social games, meaning games that pit the player’s skill against the skill of another player as opposed to the casino itself.
Organization
We are comprised of the parent company Concrete Leveling Systems, Inc., and a wholly owned subsidiary, Jericho Associates, Inc. As of July 31, 2017, Jericho had no assets, liabilities or operations.
Strategy
Structured as a concrete leveling services provider, as well as a casino gaming, hospitality, and entertainment company, and our business model is designed to partner with third parties in the casino and hospitality industries, which will also allow us to further develop and utilize our concrete leveling division if we are able to enter into agreements that will result in the construction of any “brick and mortar” structures.
Backlog
At July 31, 2017, we had no backlog.
Employees
As of July 31, 2017, we have 0 full time employees and 0 part time employees.
Proprietary Information
We own no proprietary information.
Government Regulation
We are currently not subject to material governmental regulation. However, it is our policy to fully comply with all governmental regulation and regulatory authorities. If we are able to engage in the casino gaming and hospitality industry, we may become subject to both federal and state regulation related to the operation of our business, which would require us to comply with additional government regulation.

Holders
As of October 30, 2017, there were 15 record holders of our common stock, and there were 14,027,834 shares of our common stock outstanding.
The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990
The Securities and Exchange Commission has also 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).
A purchaser is purchasing penny stock which limits the ability to sell the stock. The Company’s shares constitute penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stocks for the foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his/her investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in us will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.
5
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which:
·
|
contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
|
·
|
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 the Securities Act of 1934, as amended;
|
·
|
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;
|
·
|
contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
|
·
|
defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and
|
·
|
contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format) as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation;
|
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, to the customer:
·
|
the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
|
·
|
the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;
|
·
|
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
|
·
|
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 will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling their securities.
Dividend Policy
We have not previously declared or paid any dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock is within the discretion of our board of directors. We intend to retain any earnings for use in our operations and the expansion of our business. Payment of dividends in the future will depend on our future earnings, future capital needs and our operating and financial condition, among other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. We are not under any contractual restriction as to our present or future ability to pay dividends.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
None.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information in this Item.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation contains forward-looking statements that involve future events, our future performance and our expected future operations and actions.

Overview
Concrete Leveling Services, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) was incorporated on August 28, 2007 in the State of Nevada. The Company's principal offices are located at 5046 East Boulevard Northwest, Canton, Ohio 44718. In Ohio, the Company does business under the trade name of CLS Fabricating, Inc. CLS has never declared bankruptcy, it has never been in receivership, and it has never been involved in any legal action or proceedings.
On March 24, 2017, we entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement, whereby we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Jericho Associates, Inc. (“Jericho”), a company operating in the gaming, hospitality and entertainment industries, in exchange for 7,151,416 shares of our common stock. The Equity Purchase Agreement provided that by September 24, 2017, if the management of Jericho does not identify at least one entity or business opportunity for acquisition, in order to supplement the Company’s current business operations, the shares issued as part of the agreement shall be returned to the Company. On September 22, 2017, the Company and Jericho mutually agreed to extend the performance requirement until December 24, 2017. On November 9, 2017, the Company and Jericho mutually agreed to extend the performance requirement until March 1, 2018. Due to the merger, the Company will now operate two business divisions, which will be operated simultaneously and consist of the following:
The concrete leveling division of the business will fabricate and market a concrete leveling service unit utilized in the concrete leveling industry. This unit secures to the back of a truck and consists of a mixing device to mix lime with water and a pumping device capable of pumping the mixture under pressure into pre-drilled holes in order to raise the level of any flat concrete surface.
The gaming and hospitality division of the business will focus on casino gaming, hospitality, entertainment and leisure time industries, and will pursue opportunities in the tribal and commercial casino gaming industries, both in California and Nevada. The Company will also operate in the casino gaming technology industry, and is seeking opportunities to partner, joint venture, or acquire companies developing casino games that combine traditional casino games with the challenge of video games and the playability of social games, meaning games that pit the player’s skill against the skill of another player as opposed to the casino itself.
Results of Operations
For the years ended July 31, 2017 and July 31, 2016
The Company generated $743 in revenue for the year ended July 31, 2017, which compares to revenue of $3,620 for the year ended July 31, 2016. Our revenues decreased during the year ended July 31, 2017 due to lower sales of replacement parts.
Cost of sales for the year ended July 31, 2017 was $200, which compares to cost of sales of $2,744 for the year ended July 31, 2016. Our revenues decreased during the year ended July 31, 2017, which resulted in a similar adjustment to our cost of sales during the period.
Operating expenses, which consisted of general and administrative expenses, research and development fees and consulting fees for the year ended July 31, 2017, were $41,004. This compares with operating expenses for the year ended July 31, 2016 of $29,075. The major components of general and administrative expenses include accounting fees, legal and professional fees. Our operating expenses increased during the year ended July 31, 2017 primarily due to an increase in our general and administrative expenses during the period as a result of the acquisition of Jericho.
As a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of $39,878 for the year ended July 31, 2017. This compares with a net loss for the year ended July 31, 2016 of $27,765.
In its audited financial statements as of July 31, 2017, the Company was issued an opinion by its auditors that raised substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern based on the Company’s current financial position. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon our ability to successfully develop and market our products and our ability to generate revenues.
7
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of July 31, 2017 we had cash of $0. As of July 31, 2016, we had cash of $104.
We believe that with our existing cash flows we may not have sufficient cash to meet our operating requirements for the next twelve months due to the fact that our revenues were not sufficient to allow us to meet our operating requirements during the most recent fiscal year. If our revenue is not sufficient to allow us to meet our cash requirements during the next twelve months, the company may need to raise additional funds through the sale of equity or debt securities. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues or other funds in the future to cover these operating costs. Failure to generate sufficient revenues or additional financing when needed could cause us to go out of business.
Net cash used in operating activities was $28,224 for the year ended July 31, 2017. This compares to net cash used in operating activities of $36,261 for the year ended July 31, 2016. This change in cash related to operating activities is due primarily to an increase in current liabilities.
Cash flows provided by investing activities were $500 for the year ended July 31, 2017, which compares to cash flows provided by investing activities of $21,149 for the year ended July 31, 2016. We do not anticipate significant cash outlays for investing activities over the next twelve months.
Cash flows provided by financing activities were $27,600 for the year ended July 31, 2017 which compares to cash flows provided by financing activities of $15,100 for the year ended July 31, 2016. The change in cash flows related to financing activities is due to a net increase in advances from stockholders.
As of July 31, 2017, our total assets were $26,766 and our total liabilities were $291,672. As of July 31, 2016, our total assets were $27,134 and our total liabilities were $252,162.
Our principal source of liquidity will be our operations. We expect variation in revenues to account for the difference between a profit and a loss. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon our ability to successfully develop our concrete leveling and casino gaming and hospitality businesses, and our ability to generate revenues.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We believe that the following critical policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our financial statements.
We disclose those accounting policies that we consider to be significant in determining the amounts to be utilized for communicating our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in the first note to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein. Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with these principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results are likely to differ from these estimates, but management does not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position or results of operations.
Fair value estimates used in preparation of the financial statements are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to our management. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short-term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand.
We believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical because they have the greatest impact on the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
8
Going Concern

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Concrete Leveling Systems, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Concrete Leveling Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) as of July 31, 2017, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year then ended. 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 Concrete Leveling Systems, Inc. as of July 31, 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year 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 Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1, the Company has incurred net losses since inception. This factor, and the need for additional financing in order for the Company to meet its business plans, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 31, 2017 AND 2016
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of Concrete Leveling Systems, Inc. (hereinafter the “Company”), is presented to assist in understanding the financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Nature of Operations
The Company manufactures for sale specialized equipment for use in the concrete leveling industry. The Company’s product is sold primarily to end users.
On March 24, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with Jericho Associates, Inc. (“Jericho”), a start-up company which plans to operate in the gaming, hospitality and entertainment industries. The Company issued Jericho 7,151,416 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to a performance requirement, which provides that by September 24, 2017, if the management of Jericho does not identify at least one entity or business opportunity for acquisition, in order to supplement the Company’s current business operations, the shares issued as part of the agreement shall be returned to the Company. As of July 31, 2017, no acquisition has been identified in accordance with the agreement and the shares issued to Jericho are still contingent on the terms of the agreement.In July 2017, an additional 481,000 shares were issued to shareholders of Jericho under the same contingencies as the original shares. On September 22, 2017, the Company and Jericho mutually agreed to extend the performance requirement until December 24, 2017. On November 9, 2017, the Company and Jericho mutually agreed to extend the performance requirement until March 1, 2018.
Upon the successful completion of an acquisition of an entity or business opportunity, the Company’s Presidentwill cancel all shares of common stock held (879,167 shares as of July 31, 2017), the Company’s Chief Executive Officer will cancel all but 424,000 shares of common stock held (2,951,667 shares as of July 31, 2017), subject to an 18-month non-dilution right in order to maintain an ownership percentage of 4.99%, and the Company’s secretary will cancel all but 45,000 shares of common stock held (185,000 shares as of July 31, 2017).
Under ASC 718-10-25-20, there is no accounting related to the potential acquisition other than the issuance of the contingent shares at par value because the performance measure is the acquisition of a company. The achievement of this measure is not probable until the business is acquired.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when product is shipped or picked up by the customer.
Earnings Per Share
Contingent shares are excluded from basicweighted average shares (ASC 260-10-45-13) and a two-class presentation of EPS is not applicable when a company is reporting a loss (ASC 260-10-45-67); therefore, the contingent shares are included in dilutive weighted average shares. Because the Company is reporting a loss, the Company will only report basic EPS and the contingent shares, along with the cancellation of shares by management, will be excluded from the computation.
Accounts Receivable
The Company grants credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business. The Company provides for an allowance for uncollectable receivables based on prior experience. The allowance was $0 at July 31, 2017 and 2016.
Advertising and Marketing
Advertising and marketing costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising costs were $-0- for the years ended July 31, 2017, and 2016.
Inventories
Inventories, which consist of parts and work in progress, are recorded at the lower of first-in first-out cost or net realizable value.

CONCRETE LEVELING SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 31, 2017 AND 2016
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Going Concern
The Company was formed on August 28, 2007 and was in the development stage through July 31, 2009. The year ended July 31, 2010 was the first year during which it was considered an operating company. The Company has sustained substantial operating losses since its inception. In addition, the Company has used substantial amounts of working capital in its operations. Further, at July 31, 2017, current liabilities exceed current assets by $267,550, and total liabilities exceed total assets by $264,906.
The Company is of the opinion that funds being received from installment sales of its service units will provide a certain level of cash flow. Success will be dependent upon management’s ability to obtain future financing and liquidity, and success of its future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 2 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable and liabilities approximates the fair value reported on the balance sheet.
NOTE 3 – NEW ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES
There are no new accounting procedures that impact the Company.
NOTE 4 – PROPERTY, PLANT, AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided for by using the straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Major additions and betterments are capitalized. When items of property and equipment are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the determination of net income.
NOTE 5 – NOTES RECEIVABLE
Interest rates on notes receivable are 6.00% and are due in April 2026.
Management has established an estimated allowance for loan losses and uncollectable interest income based on its experience with specific debtors, including payment history, condition and location of collateral, and estimated cost of resale. The allowances totaled $23,802 and $24,493 at July 31, 2017 and 2016 respectively.
NOTE 6 - OPERATING SEGMENT
The Company operates in one reportable segment, concrete leveling systems sales.

ITEM 9. DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
We did not have any disagreements on accounting and financial disclosures with our present accounting firm during the reporting period.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures”, as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 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 recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated our company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-K, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Company's financial reporting. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") (2013). Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed 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. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. This assessment included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of July 31, 2017. The ineffectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses, which are indicative of many small companies with small staff:
(i) |
inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives;
|
(ii) |
lack of a code of ethics;
|
(iii) |
lack of a whistleblower policy;
|
(iv) |
lack of an independent board of directors or board committees related to financial reporting; and
|
(iv) |
lack of multiple levels of supervision and review.
|
We believe that the weaknesses identified above have not had any material effect on our financial results. While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is our management’s view that such a committee, including an independent financial expert member, is an utmost important entity level control over the Company’s financial statements. Currently, the board of directors acts in the capacity of the audit committee. However, we are currently reviewing our disclosure controls and procedures related to these material weaknesses and expect to implement changes in the 2017 and 2018 fiscal years, including identifying specific areas within our governance, accounting and financial reporting processes to add adequate resources to potentially mitigate these material weaknesses.
Our management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect 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. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
21
Management's Remediation Plan
The weaknesses and their related risks are not uncommon in a company of our size because of the limitations in the size and number of staff. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties has not always been possible and may not be economically feasible.
However, we plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-K, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes in the current fiscal year as resources allow:
(i) |
appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and implement modifications to our financial controls to address such inadequacies; and
|
(ii) |
adopt a written whistleblower policy and code of ethics; and
|
(iii) |
appoint an independent board of directors, including board committees related to financial controls and reporting.
|
The remediation efforts set out herein will be implemented in the 2017 and 2018 fiscal years. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our 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.
Management believes that despite our material weaknesses set forth above, our financial statements for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2017 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2017.
Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm.
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 independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report on Form 10-K.
