Overview of Our Business
Recent Developments
The Company’s core business strategy is to utilize its proprietary DNA profiling artificial intelligence (AI) to meet the growing demands of targeted market segments. Specifically, to provide precision medicine recommendations including medical cannabis use analysis, consumer wellness, nutraceutical analysis, and in due course pharmaceuticals. This will be delivered through telehealth, managed care facilities and hospital systems.
Frelii continues to develop and grow its patented AI technology named “NAVII”, leveraging base code and large data sets gathered from public and private partnerships. Frelii’s predictive capacity with its precision medicine and health and wellness AI has increased from 84% to 98.5%. The flagship high-efficiency Genetic Sequencing and analysis using Frelii’s proprietary technology has increased to greater than 99% and 99.999% accuracy on whole genome and exome sequencing, respectively. Current competitive solutions analyze approximately 400 thousand data points, generating approximately 384 outcomes, such as diet suggestions or identification of potential health risks. The Frelii AI technology has dramatically increased the data points analyzed to over 3.2 billion, yielding more than 60 million outcomes.
Due to this continued expansion of its AI and market segment specific UI, Frelii has been able to create negotiations with institutions and organizations in each target market segment that will allow the Company to maximize its business development, strategic growth and revenue for the foreseeable future. The Company’s unique technology is particularly attractive to these select segments because of the fundamentally different approach Frelii takes using AI to interpret DNA testing results. This will allow each roadmap market segment to have much greater insight and decision-making perspective than what is currently available, creating greater competitive advantage for each partner and alliance within their own respective markets.
Attention will still be given to the company’s consumer offerings; however, the consistently expanding and growing capabilities make Frelii’s offerings significant to expanded markets in the following ways:
Precision Medicine and Health Prediction
● | Because Frelii conducts whole-genosequencing, its technology can be leveraged to advance precision medicine when used for disease treatment and prevention by taking into consideration an individual patient’s complete genome with more than 60 million outcomes. Medical professionals and researchers will be able to more accurately predict and provide treatment strategies. This includes: |
o | Precision Medicine for Medical Cannabis Use. In states where medical cannabis is legal and in Canada, the application of NAVII can be used to help medical professionals determine the best or most appropriate plant genetics and dose to use with patients based on the patient’s genetic information. The Frelii technology has the potential to greatly impact how medical cannabis is used for medicinal purposes making treatment safer, kinder and faster. |
o | Precision Medicine for Consumer Wellness. Our web platform provides subscribers an individualized health analysis that identifies their most significant health risks and generates preventative action plans based on their individual blood markers, genetics and lifestyle. Subscribers who have previously received genetic health information from 23andMe will be able to provide their login information, and our site will upload that data to the algorithm, which will automatically adjust patient protocols. Our personalized wellness programs feature nutrition and fitness plans, supplement recommendations, downloadable menus, recipes, and shopping lists, and virtual personal training. In the near future, we plan to offer our subscribers the opportunity to enhance their personalized wellness plans by uploading their 23andMe or Ancestry.com raw genetic data, or by ordering lab diagnostic kits for more comprehensive health testing and analysis. Customers can also order premium nutritional and vitamin supplements from our online health marketplace. We plan to generate revenues through user subscriptions, lab diagnostic kit purchases, sales of compounding pharmacy products, and nutritional supplements. Frelii plans to offer corporate wellness organizations the opportunity to enhance their personalized wellness plans by ordering lab diagnostic kits for more comprehensive blood testing and analysis. |
● | Distribution will be focused on various Medical Systems. The Company’s technology and its application to diagnostic, health risk identification and precision medicine could improve health care and lower costs of health providers. Health providers will use the Company’s technology to identify risks before symptoms or complaints arise, when such health issues could be addressed more efficiently and potentially more cost-effectively. This will include Managed Care Facilities and Hospital Networks delivered face to face or within telemedicine. |

In connection with the foregoing:
(1) We launched our website, www.frelii.com, in March 2018, and in March 2019, we launched a new website, which can be visited at www.frelii.com. The objective with this new interactive website is to provide potential clients, partners and investors an engaging and thoughtful platform to learn about Frelii products, services and solutions while empowering visitors to access information based on their specific interests and industries.
The site provides information and insight into how Frelii’s advanced artificial intelligence (AI) platform and DNA analysis is impacting several industry segments including: Precision Medicine for Medical Cannabis, Wellness, Neutraceuticals, and in due course Pharmaceuticals.
(2) We signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in March 2019 with, Mercator Biologic, Inc. of Centerville, Utah; True DNA Story, LLC of Centerville, Utah, Orn Health of Nevada and Verdant Inc of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The purpose of the MOUs are to build a cooperative ventures capable of leveraging the strengths of each company to enhance and further the science of genetics, markets and potential clients’ quality of life. It also includes mutual cooperation in expanding and improving on the established product portfolios and future plans. The parties in the MOU also have agreed that there is an opportunity to participate in a pilot research initiative which is of mutual interest and may present an opportunity for each entity to validate its technology and provide a means to significantly advance each other’s commercial capabilities. If enacted, this initiative will be finalized in a statement of work that will define the phases of the initiative and the roles of each participant.
We are currently doing business under the name “Frélii.” Effective March 9, 2018, the Company changed its name to “Frélii, Inc.” and its trading symbol to “FRLI.” Frelii (OTCQB: FRLI) trades on the #OTCQB Venture Market for early stage and developing U.S. and international companies.
Our executive offices are located at 2701 North Thanksgiving Way, Suite 100, Lehi, UT 84043. You can also contact us by telephone at (833) 437-3544.
We are subject to the disclosure requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and in accordance therewith, file reports, information statements and other information, including annual and quarterly reports on Form 10-K and 10-Q, respectively, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Reports and other information filed by the Company can be inspected and copied at the public reference facilities maintained by the SEC at Room 1024, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20549. Copies of such material can also be obtained upon written request addressed to the SEC, Public Reference Section, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549 at prescribed rates. In addition, the SEC maintains a web site on the Internet (http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, information statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC through the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System.
Corporate History
The Company incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 5, 2002, under the name “Bayview Corporation.” From 2005 until 2009, the Company’s business involved researching and developing cancer treatment drugs. From July 2009 until May 2011, the Company operated as a real estate services firm, seeking to capitalize on the real estate opportunities resulting from the dislocation in the credit markets, and by extension, the multifamily housing market, by acquiring, rehabilitating, stabilizing and selling distressed multifamily properties in the southern United States, predominantly in Texas. On May 26, 2011, the Company changed its name to Vican Resources, Inc., and changed its business model when it sold the real estate services division and acquired all of the outstanding shares of Vican Trading, Inc., a Montreal-based purchaser and seller of metals, ores, and other commodities (hereafter, “Vican Trading”). Upon the acquisition of Vican Trading, there was an implied option for either party to rescind the original acquisition. During the year that option was exercised, and on December 20, 2011, the Company again changed its business when it unwound the acquisition of Vican Trading and acquired all of the assets of Med Ex Direct, Inc., a Florida-based provider of management services in respect of the distribution of diabetic supplies, principally to Hispanic patients (hereafter, “Med Ex Florida”). On March 22, 2012, the Company again changed its business to become an oil & gas exploration, development, and distribution company, unwound the purchase of the assets of Med Ex Florida, and acquired an interest in two oil & gas wells located in Jefferson County, Mississippi.
In April 2017, the Company underwent a change of control whereby our current Chief Executive Officer Ian Jenkins acquired a controlling interest in the Company’s capital stock and was appointed our sole officer and director. On April 11, 2017, the Company executed a Share Exchange Agreement with Unprescribed, LLC, later amended to include Cornerstone Medical LLC, whereby the Company, among other terms, agreed to exchange shares with the ownership units of those two entities for 25,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Share Exchange Agreement, as amended, terminated by its own terms on December 31, 2017. Following the termination of the Share Exchange Agreement, management modified its business plan to acquire certain intellectual property assets and engage a new executive team to launch its new business as a medical technology company that uses gene sequencing and artificial intelligence to determine risk and lifestyle modifications. The Company’s technology analyzes the most comprehensive markers (3,200,000,000+) on the market to date with over 60 million outcomes. Our technology generates accurate and profoundly valuable insight into DNA. It opens opportunities never before realized in health care, precision medicine, pharmaceutical research, corporate wellness as well as personal health and risk identification.

Our board of directors consists of experienced medical, business and internet-based business professionals. We also have a Medical/Scientific Advisory Committee that provides advice to our board consisting of several seasoned medical and genetics experts.
In evaluating us and our business you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, the other information included in this Report. If any of the events described below or in the documents incorporated herein by reference occur, our business and financial results could be adversely affected in a material way. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, perhaps significantly.
Our products are subject to government regulation, both in the United States and abroad, that could increase our costs significantly and limit or prevent the sale of our products.
The manufacture, packaging, labeling, advertising, promotion, distribution, and sale of our products are subject to regulation by numerous national and local governmental agencies in the United States and other countries. The primary regulatory bodies in the United States are the FDA and the FTC, and we are also subject to similar regulators in other countries. Failure to comply with these regulatory requirements may result in various types of penalties or fines. These include injunctions, product withdrawals, recalls, product seizures, fines and criminal prosecutions. Individual states also regulate nutritional supplements. A state may interpret claims or products presumptively valid under federal law as illegal under that state’s regulations. In foreign markets, we are usually required to obtain approvals, licenses, or certifications from a country’s ministry of health or comparable agency, and comply with local labeling and packaging regulations, all of which vary from country to country. Approvals or licensing may be conditioned on reformulation of products or may be unavailable with respect to certain products or product ingredients. Any of these government agencies, as well as legislative bodies, can change existing regulations, or impose new ones, or could take aggressive measures, causing or contributing to a variety of negative consequences, including:
● | requirements for the reformulation of certain or all products to meet new standards, | |
● | the recall or discontinuance of certain or all products, | |
● | additional record keeping, | |
● | expanded documentation of the properties of certain or all products, | |
● | expanded or different labeling, | |
● | adverse event tracking and reporting, and | |
● | additional scientific substantiation. |
Any or all of these requirements could have a material adverse effect on us. There can be no assurance that the regulatory environment in which we operate will not change or that such regulatory environment, or any specific action taken against us, will not result in a material adverse effect on us.
If we experience product recalls, we may incur significant and unexpected costs, and our business reputation could be adversely affected.
We may be exposed to product recalls and adverse public relations if our products are alleged to cause injury or illness, or if we are alleged to have violated governmental regulations. A product recall could result in substantial and unexpected expenditures, which would reduce operating profit and cash flow. In addition, a product recall may require significant management attention. Product recalls may hurt the value of our brands and lead to decreased demand for our products. Product recalls also may lead to increased scrutiny by federal, state or international regulatory agencies of our operations and increased litigation and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
-6- |
We may experience product liability claims and litigation to prosecute such claims, and we may not have adequate insurance coverage to cover the cost of such claims.
Even though we do not manufacture the nutritional supplements we sell, as a distributor of products for human consumption, we may experience product liability claims and litigation to prosecute such claims. Additionally, the sale of these products involves the risk of injury to consumers as a result of tampering by unauthorized third parties or product contamination. We may not have adequate insurance coverage in the types and amounts that are reasonably adequate to cover the risks we face. If insurance coverage is inadequate or unavailable or premium costs continue to rise, we may face additional claims not covered by insurance, and claims that exceed coverage limits or that are not covered could have a material adverse effect on us.
We may become party to litigation arising from the ordinary course of business in the future.
We are not currently party to any litigation; however, we may become party to lawsuits that arise in the ordinary course of business in the future. The possibility of such litigation, and its timing, is in large part outside our control. Some of these lawsuits may involve class action claims, which by virtue of involving a large number of potential class members, may require increased costs of defense and risk. If such litigation were to occur, it could have material adverse effects on our financial performance.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR MARKET
Our success is linked to the size and growth rate of the health and wellness products and supplement markets and an adverse change in the size or growth rate of these markets could have a material adverse effect on us.
An adverse change in size or growth rate of the health and wellness, or vitamin, mineral and supplement market could have a material adverse effect on us. Underlying market conditions are subject to change based on economic conditions, consumer preferences and other factors that are beyond our control, including media attention and scientific research, which may be positive or negative.
Adverse economic conditions may harm our business.
Inflation or other changes in economic conditions that affect demand for nutritional supplements could adversely affect our revenue. Uncertainty about current global economic conditions poses a risk as consumers and businesses may postpone spending in response to tighter credit markets, negative financial news and/or declines in income or asset values, each of which could have a material negative effect on the demand for our products. Other factors that could influence demand include conditions in the residential real estate and mortgage markets, labor and healthcare costs, access to credit, consumer confidence and other macroeconomic factors affecting consumer spending behavior. These and other economic factors could have a material adverse effect on demand for our products and on our financial condition and operating results.
We have a limited operated history and operating in a volatile market.
The Company has a limited operating history and faces many of the risks and difficulties frequently encountered in new and rapidly evolving markets. These risks include the ability to:
● | Increase awareness of the Company’s brand, products, and services; | |
● | Strengthen customer loyalty; | |
● | Maintain current strategic relationships and develop new strategic relationships; | |
● | Respond effectively to competitive pressures; | |
● | Continue to develop and upgrade technology; | |
● | Attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel. |
-7- |
We operate in a highly competitive industry.
The market for health, diet, fitness, and wellness technology in general is extremely competitive. While we believe that currently there is no direct competitor using comparable technology, there is no guarantee that similar technology is in development. The Company anticipates that competition will intensify as genetic testing becomes more commonly prevalent in developing medical treatment and wellness plans. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors, or that competitive pressures faced by the Company will not harm its business, operating results or financial condition.
There may be significant fluctuations in our quarterly results.
The Company believes that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of its revenues and operating results are not necessarily meaningful, and that such comparisons may not be accurate indicators of future performance. The operating results of businesses in the Company’s industry have in the past experienced significant quarter-to-quarter fluctuations. If revenues for a quarter fall below the Company’s expectations and it is not able to quickly reduce spending in response, the Company’s operating results for that quarter would be harmed. It is likely that in some future quarter operating results may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors and, as a result, the price of the Company’s common stock may fall. As with other companies in the Industry, the Company’s operating expenses, which include sales and marketing, product development and general and administrative expenses, are based on expectations of future revenues and are relatively fixed in the short term.
Factors that may cause our operating results to fluctuate include:
● | our ability to arrange financing for projects; | |
● | our ability to complete technology upgrades; | |
● | changes in federal, state and local government policies; | |
● | changes in the medical insurance industry; | |
● | the addition of new customers or the loss of existing customers; | |
● | our ability to control costs, including operating expenses; | |
● | changes in the mix of our products and services; | |
● | the effectiveness of our marketing partnerships; | |
● | changes in the pricing of our competitors; |
There are no assurances that our operations will result in revenues.
There can be no assurance that our proposed operations will result in sufficient revenues to enable us to operate at profitable levels or to generate positive cash flow. As a result of the Company’s limited operating history and the nature of the markets in which it competes, the Company may not be able to accurately predict its revenues. Any failure by the Company to accurately make such predictions would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Further, the Company’s current and future expense levels are based largely on its investment plans and estimates of future revenues. The Company expects operating results to fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of the Company’s control. Factors that may adversely affect the Company’s operating results include, among others, demand for the products of the Company, the budgeting cycles of potential customers, lack of enforcement of or changes in governmental regulations or laws, the amount and timing of capital expenditures and other costs relating to the expansion of the Company’s operations, the introduction of new or enhanced products and services by the Company or its competitors, the timing and number of new hires, changes in the Company’s pricing policy or those of its competitors, the mix of products, increases in the cost of raw materials, technical difficulties with the products, incurrence of costs relating to future acquisitions, general economic conditions, and market acceptance of the company’s products. As a strategic response to changes in the competitive environment, the Company may from time to time make certain pricing, service or marketing decisions or business combinations that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Any seasonality is likely to cause quarterly fluctuations in the Company’s operating results, and there can be no assurance that such patterns will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. The Company may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall.
-8- |
Negative Operating Cash Flow
The Company has negative operating cash flow and may continue to have negative operating cash flow in future periods. To the extent that the Company has negative operating cash flow, the Company will need to continue to deploy a portion of its cash reserves to fund such negative operating cash flow.
We are dependent on key personnel.
The Company’s future success depends to a significant extent on the continued services of senior management, which includes the founders and developers of our website technology, and other key personnel. The Company does not currently maintain “key person” life insurance for any of its executives, though it may opt to do so in the future. The loss of key personnel would likely have a significantly detrimental effect on the business.
We rely on outside consultants, contractors, manufacturers and suppliers.
We will rely on the experience of outside consultants, contractors, manufacturers and suppliers. Should one or more of these persons or entities terminate their business relationship with the Company, or becomes unavailable, we may have difficulty finding timely or suitable replacements and our business and financial performance could be negatively impacted.
We rely on strategic relationships to promote our products.
We will rely, in part, on strategic partnerships with outside companies and individuals to promote and market our products and services, thus making the future success of our business particularly contingent on the efforts of others. An important part of our strategy is to promote acceptance of our products through technology and product alliances with affiliates who assist us with our promotion strategies. Our dependence on outside affiliates and distributors, however, raises potential risks with respect to the future success of our business. Our success is dependent on the successful completion and commercial deployment of our products and services and on the future commitment of our distributors to our products and technology.
We rely on our suppliers.
We will rely on key vendors and suppliers to provide our health supplement products and other health and wellness products we may offer in the future. The Company also plans to use third party distribution facilities and contract distributors and shippers to manage customer orders of diagnostic kits, supplements, and other products. We also plan to use a third party lab processor to process our subscribers’ diagnostic kits and provide us the results. These distributors and third party vendors are critical partners in our business, and failure of any of these partners to fulfill the terms of our vendor contracts or perform as expected, would be detrimental to our business, our brand, and our financial results. Further, we may have difficulty in locating or using alternative resources should supply problems arise with any of these vendors or partners. An interruption or reduction in the source of supply of any of these vendors, or an unanticipated increase in vendor prices, could negatively and materially impact our operating results and damage customer relationships, our brand, and our business.
Our success depends on responding to rapid technological changes.
Our industry features rapidly changing technologies, frequent new product and service introductions and evolving industry standards. The Company’s future success will depend on its ability to adapt to rapidly changing technologies by continually improving the performance features and reliability of its products, and the efficiency and capabilities of its services. The Company may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction or marketing of new products and services. In addition, new enhancements must meet the requirements of current and prospective users and must achieve significant market acceptance. The Company could also incur substantial costs should we need to modify our products or services to stay competitive.
-9- |
If we fail to protect our intellectual property, our business could be adversely affected.
Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary or protected by intellectual property laws. Unauthorized use of our proprietary or protected technology could harm our business. Litigation to protect our intellectual property rights can be costly and time-consuming to prosecute, and there can be no assurance that we will have the financial or other resources necessary to enforce or defend a patent infringement, copyright or trademark violation, or proprietary rights violation action. From time to time, we may be forced to defend ourselves against other claims and legal actions alleging infringement of the intellectual property rights of others. Adverse determinations in any such litigation could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, could require us to seek licenses from third parties and could, if such licenses are not available, prevent us from providing our wind turbines or the generators, which could have a material adverse effect on us. Third parties could also obtain patents that may require us to either redesign products or obtain a license. If we are unable to redesign products or are unable to obtain a license, our business and financial condition would be adversely affected. Although we perform investigations of the intellectual property of third parties, we cannot be certain that we have not infringed the intellectual property rights of such third parties. Any such infringement or misappropriation claim could result in significant costs, substantial damages, and our inability to provide or use our turbines and generators. We also could be forced to obtain licenses from third parties or to develop a non-infringing alternative, which could be costly and time-consuming. A court could also order us to pay compensatory damages for such infringement, plus prejudgment interest, and could, in addition, treble the compensatory damages and award attorney fees. These damages could be substantial and could harm our reputation, business, financial condition, and operating results. A court also could enter orders that temporarily, preliminarily, or permanently enjoin us and/or our suppliers from making or supplying us with the turbines and/or generators. Depending on the nature of the relief ordered by the court, we could become liable for additional damages to third parties. Because intellectual property litigation can be costly and time consuming, our intellectual property litigation expenses could be significant, even if we are successful in defending our intellectual property rights. Even invalid claims alone could materially adversely affect our financial condition.
Our executive compensation may not reflect the true market value of services.
The Company is currently paying its management and key employees in a combination of Common Stock, stock options, stock units, and/or cash consideration. We have not determined all our executive compensation by arms- length negotiation. Furthermore, the Company may grant additional stock options and other equity incentives to its executive officers and directors that are consistent with companies in the early revenue stages with high growth potential. While management believes that such consideration is fair for the work being performed, there is no assurance that the consideration to management reflects the true market value of their services.
Our management may have a conflict of interest with our minority shareholders.
The relationship of management and its affiliates to the Company could create conflicts of interest. While management has a fiduciary duty to the Company, it also determines its compensation from the Company. While management believes that any consideration paid to affiliates is fair, there is no assurance that such consideration reflects the true market value of the services being performed. Management believes that it will have the resources necessary to fulfill its management obligations to all entities for which it is responsible. Management’s compensation from the Company has not been determined pursuant to arm’s-length negotiation.
Our bylaws indemnify our management to the maximum extent permitted by law.
The Company’s Bylaws provide that the Company will indemnify and hold harmless its officers and directors against claims arising from Company activities, to the maximum extent permitted by law. If the Company were called upon to perform under its indemnification agreement, then the portion of its assets expended for such purpose would reduce the amount otherwise available for the Company’s business.
There is a potential risk of dilution of ownership in our Company.
The Company has the right to raise additional capital or incur borrowings from third parties to finance its business. The Company may also implement public or private mergers, business combinations, business acquisitions and similar transactions pursuant to which it would issue substantial additional capital stock to outside parties, causing substantial dilution in the ownership of the Company by its existing shareholders. The Board of Directors has the authority, without the consent of any of the shareholders, to cause the Company to issue more shares of common and preferred stock at such price and on such terms and conditions as are determined by the Board in its sole discretion. The Company may also issue net profits interests in the Company. The issuance of additional shares of capital stock or net profits interests by the Company would dilute the shareholders’ ownership in the Company.
-10- |
There are no assurances that dividends will be paid.
The Company has not in the past nor has any immediate plan to pay dividends to any of its shareholders in the near future. The Company cannot predict when or assure that it will ever have sufficient earnings to declare and pay dividends to any of its shareholders.
We may experience challenges managing rapid growth of our business.
If the Company is successful in achieving wide market acceptance of its products and services, it may be required to expand its operations quickly, requiring the establishment of technical operations, system administration, sales and marketing. This could result in new and increased responsibilities for management, and place significant strain on the Company’s management, operating and financial systems and other resources. To accommodate such growth and compete effectively, the Company will be required to implement and improve information systems, procedures and controls, and to train, motivate and manage its work force. The Company’s future success will depend to a significant extent on the ability of its future management personnel to operate effectively. There can be no assurance the Company’s personnel; systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support the Company’s future operations. The Company is dependent on its ability to continue to attract and retain qualified technical, managerial and marketing personnel. There is widespread competition for qualified personnel in the Company’s industry, and there can be no assurance the Company will be able to attract and retain the qualified personnel necessary for the development of its business. The failure to recruit qualified technical, managerial or marketing personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may not be able to meet our capital requirements.
The continued development of the Company’s business plan will require additional capital. Although the Company believes that we have sufficient cash reserves to fund operations until we begin to generate revenues from our operations, we cannot be certain that our cash reserves will be sufficient to fund the operations of the Company for the next year. To the extent that our cash reserves and cash flow from operations are insufficient to fund the Company’s activities, the Company will be required to raise additional capital through equity or debt financing. The Company’s actual capital requirements will depend on many factors, including but not limited to; the costs and timing of the Company’s development and launch activities, the success of the Company’s development efforts, and the costs and timing of the expansion of the Company’s sales and marketing activities. The extent to which the Company’s existing and new products and services will gain market acceptance will be based upon the Company’s ability to maintain existing collaborative relationships and enter into new collaborative relationships, competing product developments, progress of the Company’s commercialization efforts and the commercialization efforts of the Company’s competitors, costs involved in acquiring, prosecuting, maintaining, enforcing and defending intellectual property claims, developments related to regulatory issues, and other factors. Furthermore, to satisfy future growth requirements, the Company may seek to raise additional funds through public or private financing, collaborative relationships or other arrangements. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to shareholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve significant restrictive covenants. Collaborative arrangements, if necessary to raise additional funds, may require the Company to relinquish its rights to certain of its technologies, products or marketing territories. The Company’s failure or inability to raise capital when needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available on terms satisfactory to the Company, if at all.
Our stock has historically had a limited market. If an active trading market for our Common Stock does develop, trading prices may be volatile.
Should an active trading market develop, the market price of the shares of Common Stock may be based on factors that may not be indicative of future market performance. Consequently, the market price of the Common Stock may vary greatly. If an active market for the Common Stock develops, there is a significant risk that the stock price may fluctuate dramatically in the future in response to any of the following factors, some of which are beyond our control:
● | variations in our quarterly results | |
● | announcements that our revenues or income/losses are below analysts’ expectations; | |
● | general economic slowdown; | |
● | changes in market valuations of similar companies; | |
● | announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts; or | |
● | acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitment. |

We are subject to the reporting requirements of Federal Securities Laws that can be expensive.
We are subject to the information and reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and other federal securities laws, and the compliance obligations of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports and other information with the SEC has and will continue to cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if we were a privately-held company.
Our common stock is illiquid and the price of our common stock may be negatively impacted by factors that are unrelated to our operations.
Although our common stock is currently listed for quotation on the OTC Pink Market, there is a very limited market for our common stock. Even after trading volume increases, trading through the OTC Pink or OTCQB is frequently thin and highly volatile. There is no assurance that a sufficient market will develop in our stock, in which case it could be difficult for stockholders to sell their stock. The market price of our common stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of our ability to achieve our planned growth, quarterly operating results of our competitors, trading volume in our common stock, changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting our competitors or us. In addition, the stock market is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have the same effect on our common stock.
Sales by our shareholders of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.
The majority of outstanding shares in the Class B common stock are owned by the Directors and Officers. If any of these principal shareholders were to decide to sell large amounts of stock over a short period of time such sales could cause the market price of the Common Stock to decline.
Our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with the minority shareholders in the future because the majority of the shares of our Common Stock are owned by our officers and directors. Thus, the minority shareholders may not be able to control or influence our management’s decision making.
The Company’s officers and directors currently own 59.12% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Class B common stock. The interests of a specific director or officer, individually or as a group may at times differ from other shareholders. Where those conflicts exist, our shareholders will be dependent upon the directors and officers, in a manner fair to all our shareholders, their fiduciary duties as an officer and/or director.
RISKS RELATED TO THE MARKET FOR OUR STOCK GENERALLY
Our common stock is currently quoted on the Over-the-Counter market that may have an unfavorable impact on our stock price and liquidity.
Our common stock is quoted Over-the-Counter on the OTC: Pink market. The OTC Pink Market is a significantly more limited market than established trading markets such as the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ. The quotation of our shares on the OTC Pink Market may result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential stockholders to trade shares of our common stock, could depress the trading price of our common stock and could have a long-term adverse impact on our ability to raise capital in the future. We plan to list our common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or on a senior exchange such as NASDAQ as soon as practicable. However, we cannot assure you that we could meet the initial listing standards of any stock exchange, or that we could maintain any such listing.

We may be subject to penny stock regulations and restrictions and you may have difficulty selling shares of our common stock.
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define so-called “penny stocks” to be an equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. Our common stock is a “penny stock” and is subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, or the Penny Stock Rule. This rule imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell such securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” (generally, individuals with a net worth of more than $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouses). For transactions covered by Rule 15g-9, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale. As a result, this rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may affect the ability of purchasers to sell any of our securities in the secondary market, thus possibly making it more difficult for us to raise additional capital. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require delivery, prior to any transaction in penny stock, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made about sales commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stock. There can be no assurance that our common stock will qualify for exemption from the Penny Stock Rule. In any event, even if our common stock were exempt from the Penny Stock Rule, we would remain subject to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act, which gives the SEC the authority to restrict any person from participating in a distribution of penny stock, if the SEC finds that such a restriction would be in the public interest.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
We lease our corporate office headquarters, which consists of shared space. The terms of our commercial lease are month to month with monthly rent of approximately $1,920.
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these, or other matters, may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

Holders
As of April 12, 2019, there were 156 stockholders of record of our Common Stock. This number does not include shares held by brokerage clearing houses, depositories or others in unregistered form.
Dividends
We have never declared or paid a cash dividend. Any decisions regarding dividends will be made by our board of directors. We currently intend to retain and use any future earnings for the development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our board of directors has complete discretion on whether to pay dividends, subject to the approval of our stockholders. Even if our board of directors decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant.
Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
On January 18, 2018, our Board of Directors approved the adoption of our 2018 Incentive Stock Option Plan (“ISO Plan”). The ISO Plan has been approved by our stockholders.

Exemption from Registration Claimed
All of the sales by the Company of its unregistered securities were made by the Company in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). All of the individuals and/or entities listed above that purchased the unregistered securities were all known to the Company and its management, through pre-existing business relationships. All purchasers were provided access to all material information, which they requested, and all information necessary to verify such information and were afforded access to management of the Company in connection with their purchases. All purchasers of the unregistered securities acquired such securities for investment and not with a view toward distribution, acknowledging such intent to the Company. All certificates or agreements representing such securities that were issued contained restrictive legends, prohibiting further transfer of the certificates or agreements representing such securities, without such securities either being first registered or otherwise exempt from registration in any further resale or disposition.
Penny Stock Rules
Due to the price of our common stock, as well as the fact that we are not listed on a national securities exchange, our stock is characterized as “penny stocks” under applicable securities regulations. Our stock will therefore be subject to rules adopted by the SEC regulating broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer proposing to effect a transaction in a penny stock must furnish his customer a document containing information prescribed by the SEC and obtain from the customer an executed acknowledgment of receipt of that document. The broker or dealer must also provide the customer with pricing information regarding the security prior to the transaction and with the written confirmation of the transaction. The broker or dealer must also disclose the aggregate amount of any compensation received or receivable by him in connection with such transaction prior to consummating the transaction and with the written confirmation of the trade. The broker or dealer must also send an account statement to each customer for which he has executed a transaction in a penny stock each month in which such security is held for the customer’s account. The existence of these rules may have an effect on the price of our stock, and the willingness of certain brokers to effect transactions in our stock.
Purchases of Our Equity Securities
No repurchases of our common stock were made during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

The following management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this annual report. In addition to historical information, the following discussion contains certain forward-looking information. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” above for certain information concerning those forward looking statements.

Nature of Operations
Our History
The Company incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 5, 2002, under the name “Bayview Corporation.” From 2005 until 2009, the Company’s business involved research and development of cancer treatment drugs. From July 2009 until May 2011, the Company operated as a real estate services firm, seeking to capitalize on the real estate opportunities resulting from the dislocation in the credit markets, and by extension, the multifamily housing market, by acquiring, rehabilitating, stabilizing and selling distressed multifamily properties in the southern United States, predominantly in Texas. On May 26, 2011, the Company changed its name to Vican Resources, Inc., and changed its business model when it sold the real estate services division and acquired all of the outstanding shares of Vican Trading, Inc., a Montreal-based purchaser and seller of metals, ores, and other commodities (hereafter, “Vican Trading”). Upon the acquisition of Vican Trading, there was an implied option for either party to rescind the original acquisition. During the year that option was exercised and on December 20, 2011, the Company again changed its business when it unwound the acquisition of Vican Trading and acquired all of the assets of Med Ex Direct, Inc., a Florida-based provider of management services in respect of the distribution of diabetic supplies, principally to Hispanic patients (hereafter, “Med Ex Florida”). On March 22, 2012, the Company again changed its business to become an oil & gas exploration, development, and distribution company, unwound the purchase of the assets of Med Ex Florida, and acquired an interest in two oil & gas wells located in Jefferson County, Mississippi.
In April 2017, the Company underwent a change of control whereby our current Chief Executive Officer Ian Jenkins acquired a controlling interest in the Company’s capital stock and was appointed our sole officer and director. On April 11, 2017, the Company executed a Share Exchange Agreement with Unprescribed, LLC, later amended to include Cornerstone Medical LLC, whereby the Company, among other terms, agreed to exchange shares with the ownership units of those two entities in exchange for 25,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Share Exchange Agreement, as amended, terminated by its own terms on December 31, 2017. Following the termination of the Share Exchange Agreement, management modified its business plan to acquire certain intellectual property assets and engaged a new management team to carry out its new business, which is providing personalized subscription nutrition and wellness programs through the Company’s new website www.frelii.com.
Overview of Our Business and Strategy
The Company’s original core business strategy was to provide direct to consumer affordable access to personalized health assessments and nutrition plans based on genetic data, physiology, environmental and lifestyle factors, and lab diagnostics all on one convenient web platform. The Company has expanded that model as a result of dramatic improvements in its technology. As a result, the Company’s’ licensing business model was born, and management expects that business to be the primary driver of revenues during the foreseeable future. While the Company will maintain and expand its consumer web-based platform business line, the Company’s lead business model will now be Precision Medicine and Health Assessment. This will be applied to Medical Cannabis, neutraceuticals, wellness, and in due course pharmaceuticals.
Our Technology
The principals of Frelii began developing a computer learning-based algorithm in 2014. That algorithm, and the resulting AI (artificial intelligence) based software called “NAVII”, was developed with the primary goal of analyzing DNA information to generate highly-personalized protocols based on such DNA information. In 2017, the Company created a web-based platform and subscription-based model at www.frelii.com that provides users personalized, DNA-based diet and nutrition plans and identification of certain potential health risks. We believe our technology can assist our health providers to identify and treat many different health concerns and help people live their best life. Our easy-to-use web platform provides subscribers an individualized health analysis that identifies a user’s most significant health risks and generates health programs based on their individual blood markers, genetics and lifestyle. Subscribers who have previously received genetic health information from 23andMe can provide their login information, and our site will upload that data to the algorithm, which will automatically adjust patient protocols. Our comprehensive wellness plans feature nutrition and fitness plans, supplement recommendations, downloadable menus, recipes, and shopping lists, and virtual personal training. Subscribers can enhance their customized plan by ordering additional lab diagnostic kits for more comprehensive testing and analysis or by requesting a personal consultation with one of the licensed health providers in our affiliate network. Subscribers can also order nutritional and vitamin supplements from our premium health marketplace. In fourth quarter 2018 the company is releasing a custom DNA kit that offers full genome analysis at a comparable price to 23&me’s less extensive genotyping kit. The Company’s personalized plans now feature meal plans, virtual personal training, supplement recommendations, downloadable menus, recipes, and shopping lists.
-17- |
The Company has continued to develop its AI technology. Aided in part by the gift of base code and large data sets from an unnamed global tech and information ally. Frelii’s predictive capacity of the precision medicine and health and wellness AI has increased from 84% to 98.5% imputation Efficiency on incomplete data has increased to 95% efficiency. And our flagship high-efficiency Genetic Sequencing and analysis using our proprietary technology has increased to greater than 99% and 99.999% accuracy on whole genome and exome sequencing, respectively. For example, competitors can analyze approximately 400 thousand data points and can generate approximately 384 outcomes, such as diet suggestions or identification of potential health risks. The Company’s improved technology has dramatically increased the date points subject to analysis to over 3.2 billion data points, which can generate over 60 million outcomes. The Company has also created a proprietary computational efficiency algorithm which has improved our A.I. analysis of whole genome DNA data by a factor of 8x. This profoundly more robust technological capability opens the doors to far more specific and accurate DNA analysis and far broader applications.
Out Expanded Business Model
With that expanded capability in mind, the Company began negotiations with a number of health care providers, consumer-facing lifestyle companies, professional grade supplement providers and other product providers for such companies to use its technology in their business operations. As a result, the Company’ licensing business model was born, and management expects that business to be the primary driver of revenues during the foreseeable future. While the Company will maintain its consumer web-based platform business line, however, the Company’s expanded business model now includes the following technology licensing channels & opportunities:
Precision Medicine and Health Prediction
● | Because Frelii conducts whole-genosequencing, its technology can be leveraged to advance precision medicine when used for disease treatment and prevention by taking into consideration an individual patient’s complete genome with more than 60 million outcomes. Medical professionals and researchers will be able to more accurately predict and provide treatment strategies. This includes: |
o | Precision Medicine for Medical Cannabis Use. In states where medical cannabis is legal and in Canada, the application of NAVII can be used to help medical professionals determine the best or most appropriate plant genetics and dose to use with patients based on the patient’s genetic information. The Frelii technology has the potential to greatly impact how medical cannabis is used for medicinal purposes making treatment safer, kinder and faster. |
o | Precision Medicine for Consumer Wellness. Our web platform provides subscribers an individualized health analysis that identifies their most significant health risks and generates preventative action plans based on their individual blood markers, genetics and lifestyle. Subscribers who have previously received genetic health information from 23andMe will be able to provide their login information, and our site will upload that data to the algorithm, which will automatically adjust patient protocols. Our personalized wellness programs feature nutrition and fitness plans, supplement recommendations, downloadable menus, recipes, and shopping lists, and virtual personal training. In the near future, we plan to offer our subscribers the opportunity to enhance their personalized wellness plans by uploading their 23andMe or Ancestry.com raw genetic data, or by ordering lab diagnostic kits for more comprehensive health testing and analysis. Customers can also order premium nutritional and vitamin supplements from our online health marketplace. We plan to generate revenues through user subscriptions, lab diagnostic kit purchases, sales of compounding pharmacy products, and nutritional supplements. Frelii plans to offer corporate wellness organizations the opportunity to enhance their personalized wellness plans by ordering lab diagnostic kits for more comprehensive blood testing and analysis. |
● | Distribution will be focused on Medical Systems. The Company’s technology and its application to diagnostic, health risk identification and precision medicine could improve health care and lower costs of health providers. Health providers will use the Company’s technology to identify risks before symptoms or complaints arise, when such health issues could be addressed more efficiently and potentially more cost-effectively. This will include Managed Care Facilities and Hospital Networks delivered face to face or within telemedicine. |
The Company believes that these licensing and joint venture opportunities will provide the Company with access to the consumer and user data necessary to unlock the full capabilities of its technology.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements other than a rental agreement for the rental of the corporate premises, that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to investors.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 was primarily funded through sales of Class B common stock.
Subject to the launch of the pipeline of revenue streams, there is no certainty that we will be successful in generating sufficient cash flow from operations or achieving and maintaining profitable operations in the future to enable us to meet our obligations as they come due and consequently continue as a going concern. The Company may require additional funds to further develop our expanded business plan. The Company may require additional financing this year to fund our operations and is examining possible sources of funding beyond the existing cash generated from operations. Sales of additional equity securities would result in the dilution of the interests of existing stockholders. There can be no assurance that financing will be available when required. In the event that the necessary additional financing is not obtained, the Company would reduce its discretionary overhead costs substantially, or otherwise curtail operations.
The Company expects the forgoing, or a combination thereof, to meet our anticipated cash requirements for the next 12 months; however, these conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on recoverability and reclassification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
During the years period ended December 31, 2018, the Company had net cash used in operations of $910,108 compared with $37,064 used in operations for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was primarily the result of the sale of Class B common stock in 2018 and the issuance of a promissory note in 2017.
Financial instruments and risk factors
The Company has exposure to liquidity risk and credit risk. The Company’s risk management objective is to preserve and redeploy the existing resources as appropriate, ultimately to protect shareholder value. Risk management strategies, as discussed below, are designed and implemented to ensure the Company’s risks and the related exposure are consistent with the business objectives and risk tolerance.
-20- |
Liquidity Risk: Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company manages its liquidity by ensuring that there is sufficient capital to meet short and long-term business requirements, after taking into account cash requirements from operations and the Company’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents. The Company also strives to maintain sufficient financial liquidity at all times in order to participate in investment opportunities as they arise, as well as to withstand sudden adverse changes in economic circumstances.
Management forecasts cash flows for its current and subsequent fiscal years to predict future financing requirements. Future requirements may be met through a combination of credit and access to capital markets. The Company’s requirements are dependent on the level of operating activity, a large portion of which is discretionary. Should management decide to increase its operating activity, more funds than what is currently in place would be required. It is not possible to predict whether financing efforts will be successful or sufficient in the future.
The following are the maturities, excluding interest payments, reflecting undiscounted future cash disbursements of the Company’s financial liabilities at December 31, 2018.
2019 | ||||
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | $ | 55,057 | ||
Accrued salaries and related expense | 23,573 | |||
Settlement account due former related party | 126,654 | |||
Total liabilities | 205,284 |
Credit risk: Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with a counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. As at December 31, 2018, the Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its promissory note receivable and interest receivable. Credit risk is mitigated as the Company has security over the assets of the promissory note issuer.
Interest rate risk: Interest rate risk is the risk borne by an interest-bearing asset or liability as a result of fluctuations in interest rates. Financial assets and financial liabilities with variable interest rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The Company’s does not have significant interest rate risk.
Related Party Transactions
On April 11, 2017, pursuant to a Security Agreement dated April 11, 2017, the Company paid $495,000 to Cornerstone Medical Center LLC (“Cornerstone”). In exchange the Company received a $500,000 Secured Promissory Note from Cornerstone (the “Promissory Note”), dated April 11, 2017. The Promissory Note bears interest at 4% per annum, or 18% in the event of a default under the Promissory Note. The principal and interest was due on December 31, 2017. The Promissory Note is secured by all the assets of Cornerstone. At December 31, 2018, the balance due on the Promissory Note was $23,630.
Cornerstone is owned by Gregory Mongeon, former Chief Executive Officer and director of the company.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Other than the rent commitments, the Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our investors.
Critical Accounting Policies
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash Equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition.
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 of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Derivative financial instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.
The Company reviews the terms of equity instruments and other financing arrangements, if any, to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. Also, in connection with the issuance of financing instruments, the Company may issue freestanding options or warrants to employees and non-employees in connection with consulting or other services. These options or warrants may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity.
Advertising
The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. Advertising expense is included in operating expenses in the statements of operations. Advertising and marketing expense for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $204,302 and $133,739, respectively
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company follows ASC Topic 260 to account for the earnings per share. Basic earnings (loss) per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents (if dilutive) outstanding.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect, when the differences are expected to be reversed. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded, when it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will not be realized.

ITEM 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Consolidated Financial Statements
The financial statements required by this item begin on page F-1 hereof.
ITEM 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants and Accounting and Financial Disclosure
There have been no changes nor have there been any disagreements with the Company’s auditors.
ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports it files or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports it files or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Because of inherent limitations, disclosure controls and procedures, as well as internal control over financial reporting, may not prevent or detect all inaccurate statements or omissions.
Our management, with the supervision and participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2018, were effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
-23- |
Inherent Limitations Over Internal Controls
Our 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the our management and directors; and
(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Also, any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to the risk that those internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in business conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers has, during the past ten years:
1. | had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; |
2. | been convicted in a criminal proceeding or is a named subject to a pending criminal (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); |
3. | been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities, futures, commodities or banking activities; or |
4. | been found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated. |
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers, directors and beneficial owner of more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission statements of ownership and changes in ownership. The same persons are required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. We believe that, during fiscal 2017, all of our executive officers, directors and beneficial owner of more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities complied with the applicable filing requirements.
In making these statements, we have relied upon examination of the copies of all Section 16(a) forms provided to us and the written representations of our executive officers, directors and beneficial owner of more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities.

However, the Company is in the process of preparing a code of business conduct and ethics policy.
Committees of Board of Directors
There are currently no committees of the Board of Directors. Our board of directors is of the view that it is appropriate for us not to have a standing nominating, audit or compensation committee because the current size of our board of directors does not facilitate the establishment of a separate committee.

Board Oversight of Risk
Our Board of Directors recognizes that, although risk management is a primary responsibility of the Company’s management, the Board plays a critical role in oversight of risk.

Each Committee then reports to the full Board ensuring the Board’s full involvement in carrying out its responsibility for risk management.

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

For purposes hereof, a person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities that can be acquired by such person within 60 days from the date hereof upon the exercise of warrants or options or the conversion of convertible securities. Each beneficial owner’s percentage ownership is determined by assuming that any warrants, options or convertible securities that are held by such person (but not those held by any other person) and which are exercisable within 60 days from the date hereof, have been exercised.

Changes in Control
There are no arrangements known to us, including any pledge by any person of our securities, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the Company.
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Other than as noted in Section 11, there are no related party transactions.
Promoters and Certain Control Persons
We did not have any promoters at any time during the past five fiscal years.
Our executive officers and directors from time to time may serve on the board of directors executive officers of other companies. However, none of our executive officer or directors serve as executive officers or directors or on the compensation committee of another company that has any executive officer serving on our Board of Directors (or Board of Directors acting as the Compensation Committee).
One of our directors, Dr. Hans Jenkins, is the brother of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer Ian Jenkins. There are no other relationships on our Board of Directors (or Board of Directors acting as the Compensation Committee) requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K.
Director Independence
We believe the Company has three independent directors, Mr. Tarek Mango,Mr. James Spallino and Ms. Leslie Norris. Since the Company’s Common Stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we have used the definition of “independence” of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination.
Under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2), an “independent director” is a “person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.”
We do not currently have a separately designated audit, nominating or compensation committee and cannot forecast when we will have such committees.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
C O N T E N T S

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Frelii, Inc.:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
I have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Frelii, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 and the related statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In my opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Frelii, Inc. as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Going Concern Uncertainty
The accompanying financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company’s present financial situation raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on my audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
I conducted my audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor was I engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of my audit I am required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, I express no such opinion.
My audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. My audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017
NOTE 1 – Description of Business
The Company incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 5, 2002, under the name “Bayview Corporation.” On April 7, 2005, the Company changed its name to Xpention Genetics, Inc. concurrent with a change in its business to researching and developing cancer treatment drugs. On September 17, 2008, the Company changed its name to Cancer Detection Corporation. On August 13, 2009, the Company again changed its name to Tremont Fair, Inc. From July 2009 until May 2011, the Company operated as a real estate services firm, seeking to capitalize on the real estate opportunities resulting from the dislocation in the credit markets, and by extension, the multifamily housing market, by acquiring, rehabilitating, stabilizing and selling distressed multifamily properties in the southern United States, predominantly in Texas. On May 26, 2011, the Company changed its name to Vican Resources, Inc., and changed its business model when it sold the real estate services division and acquired all of the outstanding shares of Vican Trading, Inc., a Montreal-based purchaser and seller of metals, ores, and other commodities (hereafter, “Vican Trading”). Upon the acquisition of Vican Trading, there was an implied option for either party to rescind the original acquisition. During 2011, that rescission option was exercised and on December 20, 2011, the Company again changed its business when it unwound the acquisition of Vican Trading and acquired all of the assets of Med Ex Direct, Inc., a Florida-based provider of management services in respect of the distribution of diabetic supplies, principally to Hispanic patients (hereafter, “Med Ex Florida”). On March 22, 2012, the Company again changed its business to become an oil & gas exploration, development, and distribution company, unwound the purchase of the assets of Med Ex Florida, and acquired an interest in two oil & gas wells located in Jefferson County, Mississippi.
In April 2017, the Company underwent a change of control whereby our current Chief Executive Officer Ian Jenkins acquired a controlling interest in the Company’s capital stock and was appointed our sole officer and director. On April 11, 2017, the Company executed a Share Exchange Agreement with Unprescribed, LLC, later amended to include Cornerstone Medical Center LLC, whereby the Company, among other terms, agreed to exchange shares with the ownership units of those two entities for 25,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Share Exchange Agreement, as amended, terminated by its own terms on December 31, 2017. Following the termination of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company modified its business plan to acquire certain intellectual property assets and to engage a new management team to effectuate the new business plan.
Effective March 9, 2018, the Company changed its name to Frélii, Inc. From March 2018 to December 2018, the Company operated a web-based subscription service providing personalized nutrition and wellness plans. The new business plan is to use Artificial Intelligence & whole genome analysis to increase patient outcomes and lower direct costs. The Company launched its website, www.frelii.com, in March 2018.
The Company’s core business strategy is to utilize its proprietary DNA profiling artificial intelligence (AI) to meet the growing demands of targeted market segments. Specifically, to provide precision medicine recommendations including medical cannabis use analysis, consumer wellness, nutraceutical analysis, and in due course pharmaceuticals. This will be delivered through telehealth, managed care facilities and hospital systems.
NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist the reader in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

FRÉLII, INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2017
(Expressed in US dollars)
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more significant estimates and assumptions made by management are valuation of equity instruments, and deferred tax asset valuation. Actual results could differ from those estimates as the current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For the Balance Sheets and Statements of Cash Flows, all highly liquid investments with maturity of 90 days or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company had a cash balance of $58,558 and $NIL as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
INVENTORIES
Inventories consist of finished goods and are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first out basis.
At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates its ending inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence.
The Company considers historical demand and forecast in relation to the inventory on hand, market conditions and product life cycles when determining obsolescence and net realizable value. Provisions are made to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable values. Once established, write-downs are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the excess or obsolete inventories.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS – SOFTWARE
The cost of software acquired has been capitalized and is being amortized over 60 months.
The Company evaluates recoverability of identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that intangible assets carrying amount may not be recoverable. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to: (1) a significant decrease in the market value of an asset, (2) a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or (3) an accumulation of cost significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition of an asset. The Company measures the carrying amount of assets against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with them. If the carrying cost is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized based on the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and its estimated fair value.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC Topic 260 regarding earnings / loss per share, which provides for calculation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings / loss per share. Basic earnings / loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income / loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings / loss per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity similar to fully diluted earnings / loss per share.
Except for the outstanding warrants (see Note 1), there were no potentially dilutive instruments outstanding at December 31, 2018. The warrants outstanding in 2018 were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation for 2018 as their inclusion would be antidilutive.
INCOME TAXES
In accordance with ASC 740 – Income Taxes, the provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method. The liability method measures deferred income taxes by applying enacted statutory rates in effect at the balance sheet date to the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts on the financial statements. The resulting deferred tax assets or liabilities are adjusted to reflect changes in tax laws as they occur. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

(Expressed in US dollars)
The Company expects to recognize the financial statement benefit of an uncertain tax position only after considering the probability that a tax authority would sustain the position in an examination. For tax positions meeting a “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount to be recognized in the financial statements will be the benefit expected to be realized upon settlement with the tax authority. For tax positions not meeting the threshold, no financial statement benefit is recognized. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had no uncertain tax positions. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as general and administrative expenses. The Company currently has no federal or state tax examinations nor has it had any federal or state examinations since its inception. To date, the Company has not incurred any interest or tax penalties.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKS
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents, notes receivable, and trade receivables. The Company places its cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017 there were no trade receivables.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company applies the provisions of accounting guidance, FASB Topic ASC 825, Financial Instruments. ASC 825 requires all entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized on the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value, and defines fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the fair value of cash, note receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other payables approximated carrying value due to the short maturity of the instruments, quoted market prices or interest rates which fluctuate with market rates.
The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
Level 1 — Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 — Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value is measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when or a significant event occurs. The Company had no financial assets or liabilities carried and measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis during the reporting periods. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is prepared.
EQUITY INSTRUMENTS ISSUED TO NON-EMPLOYEES FOR AQUIRING GOODS OR SERVICES
Issuances of the Company’s common stock or warrants for acquiring goods or services are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued to consultants or vendors is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance to earn the equity instruments is reached (a “performance commitment” which would include a penalty considered to be of a magnitude that is a sufficiently large disincentive for nonperformance) or (ii) the date at which performance is complete. When it is appropriate for the Company to recognize the cost of a transaction during financial reporting periods prior to the measurement date, for purposes of recognition of costs during those periods, the equity instrument is measured at the then-current fair values at each of those interim financial reporting dates.
NONCASH EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
Shares of equity instruments issued for noncash consideration are recorded at the estimated fair market value of the consideration granted based on the estimated market value of the equity instrument, or at the estimated value of the goods or services received whichever is more readily determinable.

RELATED PARTIES
A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue from product sales, which are substantially all credit card sales, is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) the price is fixed or determinable, (3) collectability is reasonably assured, and (4) delivery has occurred. Delivery criteria are satisfied when the products are shipped to a customer and title and risk of loss passes to the customer in accordance with the terms of sale. The Company has no obligation to accept the return of the products sold other than for replacement of damaged products.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Between May 2014 and December 2016, the FASB issued several ASU’s on Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The core principle is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. A five-step process has been defined to achieve this core principle, and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The standards are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standards in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting the standards recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). The adoption of these new standards has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Certain other accounting pronouncements have been issued by the FASB and other standard setting organizations which are not yet effective and have not yet been adopted by the Company. The impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations from adoption of these standards is not expected to be material

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has sustained net losses which have resulted in an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2018, and negative cash flows from operations, all of which raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company believes these conditions have resulted from the inherent risks associated with small companies. Such risks include, but are not limited to, the ability to (i) generate revenues and sales of its products and services at levels sufficient to cover its costs and provide a return for investors, (ii) attract additional capital in order to finance growth, (iii) further develop and successfully market commercial products and services, and (iv) successfully compete with other comparable companies having financial, production and marketing resources significantly greater than those of the Company.
We expect to be dependent on additional debt and equity financing to develop our new business but we cannot assure you that any such financings will be available or will otherwise be made on terms acceptable to us, or that our present shareholders might suffer substantial dilution as a result.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
These financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which presumes that it will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due. These financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary if the Company were unable to realize its assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. Such adjustments could be material.

At December 31, 2018, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $4,233,000 that may be offset against future taxable income. Approximately $3,126,000 of the $4,233,000 net operating losses expire in varying amounts from 2022 to 2037. No tax benefits have been reported in the financial statements because the potential tax benefits of the net operating loss carry forwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carryforwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Therefore, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in the future.
