FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
There are statements in this annual report that are not historical facts. These "forward-looking statements" can be identified by use of terminology such as "believe," "hope," "may," "anticipate," "should," "intend," "plan," "will," "expect," "estimate," "project," "positioned," "strategy" and similar expressions. You should be aware that these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that are beyond our control. For a discussion of these risks, you should read this entire annual report carefully, especially the risks discussed under "Risk Factors." Although management believes that the assumptions underlying the forward looking statements included in this annual report are reasonable, they do not guarantee our future performance, and actual results could differ from those contemplated by these forward looking statements. The assumptions used for purposes of the forward-looking statements specified in the following information represent estimates of future events and are subject to uncertainty as to possible changes in economic, legislative, industry, and other circumstances. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data and other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and among reasonable alternatives require the exercise of judgment. To the extent that the assumed events do not occur, the outcome may vary substantially from anticipated or projected results, and, accordingly, no opinion is expressed on the achievability of those forward-looking statements.

PART I
ITEM 1 BUSINESS
Overview
Smoofi, Inc. ("Smoofi," the "Company," "we," or "us.") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 15, 2013, at which time we acquired a business plan for an online marketplace and community and website from Mr. Derek Cahill. Following our formation, we issued 21,750,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Cahill, in exchange for a business plan along with a website. The cost incurred by Mr. Cahill for the business plan as well as related professional services was approximately $72,500 which is the value placed upon the shares issued to Mr. Cahill.
The Company presently has two business segments: (i) an online marketplace and community platform that is under development and which represents our original business commenced in fiscal 2014, and, (ii) as announced on April 22, 2015, we intend to provide consulting and advisory services to the cannabis industry. Due principally to our financial condition and resultant lack of financial resources as described elsewhere in this Form 10-K, to date neither segment has generated revenue due to the inability (i) to complete the development of and launch the online marketplace and community platform and (ii) to hire employees with the necessary expertise to commence the cannabis industry consulting and advisory services business and/or purchase businesses with appropriate business strategies and expertise, or farmland to cultivate cannabis crops.
We are an emerging growth company as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act. Pursuant to Section 107 of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, we may take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards, meaning that we can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have chosen to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies to delay adoption of such standards until such standards are made applicable to private companies. Accordingly, our financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of public companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
The Business
Online Market and Community Platform
Smoofi plans to provide an online market and community connecting local resources with local needs. The goal is to provide an online venue for basic services by aggregating these typically low cost services within each local market. This will maximize value for both the person or company requesting the service and for the person or company providing the service. For example, even a "stay at home mom" or "retired baby boomer" could earn an extra $5 to $100 a day by simply dropping off meals for seniors, walking a pet or providing home-based technical support. A service provider, such as a gardener or pet caretaker can now see the exact people requesting service within a specific ZIP Code or address and what day and time they want the service. This allows the gardener or pet caretaker to optimize their work schedule and earn more income by mowing more lawns or walking more pets in the same day which allows the service requestor to receive the service on the exact day and time they want.

Smoofi' technology will be targeted for busy individuals, families and for people who need tasks completed at odd hours of the day. Smoofi works for any type of service from technical services (HDTV to computers), auto services (dents and windshields), home services (meals to pets to babysitting), real-estate services (notaries to gardening), transportation services (packages to people), personal services (exercise to haircuts), and much more. Smoofi also works great for non-profit organizations, institutions, city services and corporate services such as city parades, corporate events, non-profit activities (beach cleanup, meals on wheels, etc.) and others.
After it is launched, Smoofi will work by simply listing one's service on Smoofi.com by location, date, time, price, service type, service ranking and provider history. The first person who can provide that service on that date, at that time and meets the service ranking and history requirements will get the project. No bidding, no waiting a week for an auction to close, no shifting through numerous people to try to determine the best person. Smoofi plans to create an online service community where members track service provider history, including rankings, reliability, on time, etc. and creates an automated service request around this ranking and history.
The platform will also provide an online web space (Web 2.0 features) for each user. This allows the service requestor to track and manage all their services in one place, on one website. For example, keep grocery lists, medication lists, kids and family schedules, pick up places, and more all on their own Smoofi site. The service requestor determine who can see what information or log into his or her account. Smoofi plans to keep a complete audit trail of current and future service requests, costs and allows individuals to make payments to service providers via credit card or directly from the service requestor's bank account. Service providers will then be able to receive credit card payments for services formerly only paid for with cash, and these funds will be automatically transferred into a bank account.
The platform will also allow a service requestor to receive mobile alerts when their service provider (such as a pet walker) arrives at their house and when they leave your house. Smoofi will also keep an audit trail of all services provided, such as every time a meal is dropped off at your grandfather's house or his diabetes medication is delivered or when a pet is picked up and dropped off at the house.
The platform will be a useful tool for both service requestors and service providers. Service providers will benefit by having online access to view service requests in their community by location, date, time and service request type. This will allow service providers to group or aggregate their services and maximize their revenue opportunities. The platform also provides each service provider their own website to track and manage service requests and bids. It will also notify each service provider by email or mobile alert of new service requests within their saved search request and via mobile text messaging let the service requestor know when the service provider arrived and when it completed a service. Smoofi's platform will also allow service providers to accept credit card payments both via Smoofi's and via their own website, eliminating the problem of tracking down payment for services at a later time.
Smoofi's online marketplace and community is designed to solve a number of market problems:
Matching local resources with local need. Ability to aggregate small services and small transaction fees for basic services. Provide funds and job opportunities for people with mixed schedules. Provide an online community to rank and compare service providers. Provide service requestors online space to track and manage service requests, receive mobile alerts of completed services, list services by data and time. Provide service providers online space to track service requests and accept credit card payments.

Smoofi GeoCalendar
Smoofi's technology is based both on geographic location services (GIS) and mobile technology. A service requestor or service provider has the ability to list, search, track and manage services by geographic location, day & time and service type. Smoofi calls this technology GeoCalendar.
Smoofi's technology will have all the basic online community features for the family or individual who needs help including a dedicated website for each family or individual to list and track their schedules, medication, transportation requirements, service requests, etc. By listing this information, a demand is created in the market place for these services. Helpers will be able to quickly match their availability via innovative Geographic Information Calendar or (GeoCalender). The site will also connect users via mobile phone, sending text message reminders, alerts, arrival and departure times, grocery lists, etc. (via text message back to the system) and integrated services to rank and track service requests and service providers.
Smoofi's technology will also have all the basic online community features for the service provider, including a detailed online profile (gender, availability, rate, ZIP Code), pictures, videos, and more. But service providers will also have access to an online website to view, track and manage the family or individual they are helping. For example, they could view the family or individual website to see class schedules, grocery list, pet pictures, etc. The service provider could also text back to the website and alert others (such as family members) on arrival time, departure time, confirm medication has been taken, etc. The text will also become part of the individual or family member website creating an online audit trail of the persons care or service, even though the service maybe provided by 1 or even one hundred different service providers throughout the years.
Later versions of Smoofi's technology will also create a push model for Non-Profit Organizations, City Organizations or Athletic Organizations to push requests out to the community for support. Smoofi GeoCalendar will differentiate between paying activities and non-profit activities. But in some cases non-profit or even city events may pay minimum wage for basic services (security, crowd control, parade clean-up, etc.). City organizations and non-profits currently find it hard to find basic resources to help within the community and often end up paying for these services. This later version of Smoofi's technology will also allow people to participate in non-profit events and get the word out about special events in the local community. Services that can be Aggregated and Pushed by Location, Organization, Community, Service Type, or Date and Time.
The following summarizes the various types of services that will be addressed by Smoofi's online market and community:
Meal Delivery (seniors / special needs) | Pet Services (dog walking, pet cleaning) | Athletic Organizations / Events |
At Home Care | Real Estate Services (loan documents, notary, house management) | Medications / Grocery Lists |
Baby Sitting | House Sitting | Events / Activities |
Non-Profit Organizations | Transportation Services Copy & Printing Services | Technology Services (HDTV Support / Repair, computer repair) |
City Events (parades, conferences, etc.) | Laundry Services (dry cleaning, uniforms) | Shipping Services (cars, boxes, people) |
Clean-Up / Waste Management | Personal Organizers | Home Repairs / Home Hair Cuts |
Gardening | Court Services (notary, legal documents) | Auto Repairs |
Corporate Events Youth Groups | Ticket and Event Services (ticket pickup/drop-off, parking, etc.) | Lessons (Piano, 2nd language, tutoring, etc.) |
Pickup / Drop-off Services (library books, videos, etc.) | Exercise, Diet, Nutrition |
6 |
Online & Mobile Advertising
Smoofi's technology maximizes web portal utilization to push local advertisements both on the website and on mobile text messages and email alerts. These advertisements will be geared both to the service provider and the service requester and towards the service that is being provided and the ZIP Code they live in.
For example, a service request for someone to wash their dog will result in an online service request on Smoofi's platform. When a service requestor submits the request, they may see an advertisement for dog food. When the service provider logs in and views the requested service, they may see an advertisement for dog shampoo or local pet store.
Also, the service requestor will receive a mobile alert when the service provider arrives up at its house to walk the dog and when they leave. This mobile alert will have a mobile text advertisement such as information on a local pet store. When the service requestor approves payment online, the service provider will receive a mobile alert that the payment is made, the advertisement to service provider may be a local supply shop or additional pet walking requests from the website.
Smoofi's technology will combine online market, community and geographic information services with mobile text messaging, advertising and mobile geographic information services. Even local coupons or coupon codes can be sent to mobile phones and integrated with each service request. Advertisers can also narrow down their advertisement by ZIP Code, service type, or day and time.
Smoofi's target market generally is urban communities where many people have mixed schedules and/or want to earn extra income for weekend or general expenses. For example, many people are involved in multi-tiered marketing programs such as Juice Plus, Pampered Chef, Avon and others. We believe that many people just want extra income to offset personal expenses. In other cases baby boomers are working at Macy's, Crate & Barrel, as kindergarten teachers, pet walkers and many other jobs. This leads us to believe that there's an underlying market and demand for these services. With our intended platform, people will be able to get paid for services they enjoy performing such as those described above. Whatever their interest, there's a way to make additional revenue.
Smoofi "Get & Share" - Viral Marketing
An existing open source technology is "Get & Share." This is how "Get & Share" works: a user can right click on any of our intended services and paste it on social media sites such as YouTube, Facebook, iGoogle or other web community site. This technology will allow users to copy Smoofi service requests and paste them on their most popular site. In doing so, if a service provider clicks on the link and accepts the service request from the Smoofi site, a credit will be provided back to this user. In other words, the user that posts the service, gets paid for generating either a response to the need for the service or an offer to provide the service. We believe this will create a Viral Marketing program for Smoofi and extend users social media accounts allowing them to book and manage basic services both for income or for personal or family use.
7 |
Smoofi Payment Engine
Similar to Google Checkout or PayPal, the Smoofi payment engine will allow service providers to accept credit card transactions, either on the Smoofi website, on their own website or via email. Initially Smoofi may utilize Google's Checkout API or PayPal's API to handle financial transactions brining security and name brand to Smoofi's services. Over time we believe there is a great opportunity to create a customized payment transaction engine dedicated to the service industry.
Smoofi Revenue Model
Smoofi has the following revenue models, each will morph into a different revenue model as the site gains traction.
1) | Transaction Fees - Smoofi will receive $1 for each transaction from the service requestor upon listing of the available job. Users can pay fees via credit card. | |
a. | Viral Marketing - A $.25 credit will be provided back to those users who place Smoofi "Get & Share" ads on their Facebook pages and/or other community websites when a Service Provider clicks their link and accepts the service terms. | |
2) | Keyword Advertising - using Google Adwords or Yahoo Marketing, Smoofi can provide online advertisements and mobile text message advertisements. | |
a. | Smoofi Advertising Engine - Over time Smoofi will develop its own advertising engine where advertisers can bid on key terms at the ZIP Code level and determine if they want online or mobile text messages or both. | |
b. | We believe the advantage of our advertising engine is that the user will know the exact address and interest of the service requestor which will allow the user to provide targeted ads, such as an advertisement for PetCo to all people requesting dog walks. | |
3) | Credit Card Transactions - using Google Checkout and/or PayPal, Smoofi will be able to generate revenue via credit card transactions. | |
a. | Credit Card Transaction Engine - developing a custom transaction engine with a major bank or partnering with Google Checkout, Smoofi intends to have their own proprietary credit card transaction engine for service providers. | |
4) | Mobile Text Messaging Services - using mobile text messaging (or emails) to notify the user of arrival and departure times of service providers will allow for targeted advertising by service type and ZIP Code. | |
5) | Membership Fees - there will be no membership fees in the first version of Smoofi, but over time service providers may be charged an annual membership fee ($25 to $100) to join Smoofi. The benefits are more business, online and mobile alerts, online and mobile directions, online payment gateway to accept credit card transactions. |

Marketing Plan - Initial Launch
Smoofi will leverage two major marketing, branding and PR programs. First, Smoofi will initially focus on launching its platform in only key markets such as California. Secondly, Smoofi will only expand to other markets as technology is proven and tested. In other words, Smoofi will not endeavor to grow too fast until the concept is completely proven out on a small scale. Eventually, Smoofi will use AM Radio advertising to target people in traffic during peak times who have limited time and need basic services completed at specific dates and time and are willing to pay a $1.00 for this service. Smoofi will also leverage Web 2.0 services to create viral marketing programs throughout the web integrating Smoofi services with other major community websites such as Facebook.
Competitive Conditions
There are many online and offline technologies similar to Smoofi's such as Craig's List, Kudzu, eBay Auctions, Penny Saver, and others; however, we do not believe there are any online websites that focus only on the service industry as an eCommerce / classifieds / auction marketplace. Craig's List does not have an eCommerce or credit card system and there is no member feedback or rating system.
Smoofi will target the underlining service industry, setting up a system for online services by ZIP Code where service providers can quickly qualify and identify leads by price, location and service type. Service requestors will be able to quickly list services and find qualified candidates based things such as feedback rating and length of membership. The service requestor will also be able to pay via credit card. We intend Smoofi to be a safe, secure, easy to use, and self-regulating community based on an eBay type rating system.
Market Demand - Demographics
Demographics - A Growing Problem for the Service Industry. We believe the historical trend that sees the older population growing at a faster pace than the total population will continue well into the 21st Century.

Government Regulation and Industry Standards
There are an increasing number of laws and regulations in the United States and abroad pertaining to communications and commerce on the Internet. In addition, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals are under consideration by federal, state, local and foreign governments. Laws or regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet relating to liability for information retrieved from or transmitted over the Internet, user privacy, taxation and the quality of products and services. Moreover, the application to the Internet of existing laws governing issues such as intellectual property ownership and infringement, pornography, obscenity, libel, gaming, employment and personal privacy is uncertain and developing. Any such legislation or regulation, or the application or interpretation of existing laws, may decrease the growth in the use of the Internet in general, prevent us from delivering our content in different parts of the world and increase our costs of selling products or otherwise operating our business.
Furthermore, legislation regulating online content could limit the growth in use of the Internet generally and decrease the overwhelming acceptance of the Internet as an advertising and e-commerce medium.
Websites typically place identifying data, or cookies, on a user's hard drive without the user's knowledge or consent. We and many other Internet companies will use cookies for a variety of different reasons, including the collection of data derived from the user's Internet activity. Any reduction or limitation in the use of cookies could limit the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts. Most currently available Web browsers allow users to remove cookies at any time or to prevent cookies from being stored on their hard drive.
Some privacy advocates and governmental bodies have suggested limiting or eliminating the use of cookies. In addition, the European Union and many countries within the EU have adopted privacy directives or laws that strictly regulate the collection and use of information regarding Internet users that is identifiable to particular individuals. Privacy legislation has been proposed in the US as well, and the US Federal Trade Commission has taken action against website operators that do not comply with state privacy policies. These and other governmental efforts may limit our ability to target advertising or collect and use information regarding the use of our websites. Fears relating to a lack of privacy could also result in a reduction in the number of our users and subscribers which could harm our business and financial results.
Operations, Consulting and Advisory Services in the Cannabis Industry
As an expansion of our overall business strategy, we have appointed a new Director to expand our platform and services to enter the cannabis industry. We intended to enter into this area by leasing farm land.
10 |
Governmental Regulations
Cannabis is subject to regulation at both the federal and state level, with both hemp and its cousin marijuana being classified as a Schedule 1 controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act ("CSA"), which generally means that Congress has determined that marijuana is a dangerous drug and that the illegal distribution and sale of marijuana is a serious crime. The CSA does not recognize the differences between medical and recreational uses of marijuana and all uses are prohibited. Notwithstanding the federal classification, currently 23 states and the District of Columbia have laws and/or regulations legalizing the use of marijuana in some form or another for legitimate medical purposes. Four of those states and the District of Columbia have legalized marijuana for recreational use. A number of other states have decriminalized the possession of small amounts of marijuana.
Twenty-seven states have removed some legal barriers to the production of industrial hemp, three of which now license or register farmers to grow hemp under state law. In January of 2015, the Industrial Hemp Farming Act was introduced in the U.S. House and Senate. If passed, all current restrictions on the cultivation of industrial hemp would be removed, along with its classification as a Schedule 1 controlled substance. Industrial hemp is legal to grow in more than 30 countries. The United States is one of the few industrialized nations that does not currently allow the cultivation of hemp. A substantial volume of hemp is imported into the United States each year, primarily from Canada and China, in order to fulfill the growing domestic demand for hemp products. The annual retail sales for hemp products was estimated at $620 million in 2014.
In addition to federal and state legislation, local laws at the county, city and municipality level add further complexity. Despite a state's having adopted legislation legalizing cannabis, such entities within the state seem to have the ability to otherwise restrict cannabis activities, including but not limited to cultivation, retail or consumption through zoning or other means.
The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network ("FinCEN") provided guidance in 2014 about how financial institutions, such as banks and brokers or dealers in securities, can provide services to marijuana-related businesses consistent with their Bank Secrecy Act ("BSA") obligations. As a result, access to the U.S. banking system is effectively denied to businesses engaged in many aspects of the cannabis, or more specifically marijuana, industry. The Company does not intend to engage in any such business activities.
Competitive Conditions
The market for cannabis products and related services is highly fragmented and competitive, with hundreds of public and privately owned companies participating in one or more aspects of hemp or marijuana products, including both those from traditional businesses and emerging marijuana industry companies. As with many other industries, competition is based on price, product or service quality, customer service, brand name and marketing and trade support, and successful new product introductions. Many competitors have or will have significantly greater financial and other resources available to them. Large, well-capitalized pharmaceutical companies may chose enter the cannabis industry, particularly if marijuana and hemp are decriminalized.
Intellectual Property
We have no patents or trademarks.
11 |
Seasonality
The cultivation of cannabis crops is highly seasonable; accordingly, future revenue that might be derived from this activity will be seasonable. The other activities that we will engage in are not seasonable.
Employees
As of January 8, 2016, we had two employees; Mr. Sean Clarke, serving as our chief executive officer, president and chief financial officer, Mr. John Donahue serving as our chief operating officer, neither of whom presently work for the Company on a full time basis. Mr. Clarke is allowed to devote a limited amount of his time to us as he is not limited or restricted from being involved with us by his current employer. He is under no contractual agreement with us and has not received cash compensation to date. Mr. Clarke has been initially compensated through the issuance of shares of the Company's common stock and will not receive cash compensation until such time as we are able to raise sufficient equity or debt financing or we become profitable. We entered into an engagement agreement with Newport Board Group on April 21, 2015 for a term of 60 days for Mr. Donahue to serve as chief operating officer. A new agreement was signed effective June 21, 2015 which extends Mr. Donahue's services on a month to month basis. The monthly fee under both agreements is $4,000. At September 30, 2015, $9,500 of unpaid fees was accrued. No further payments have been made since that date.
In the past, we retained an independent software development firm on an "as needed" basis, and we may in the future use other independent contractors and consultants to assist in many aspects of our business on an "as needed" or per project basis pending adequate financial resources being available or their ability to defer payment for their services.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Company is highly speculative in nature and involves an extremely high degree of risk.
Risks Related to the Business
Smoofi has virtually no financial resources. Our independent registered auditors' report includes an explanatory paragraph stating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Smoofi is an early stage company and has virtually no financial resources. We had a cash balance of $2,160, as of September 30, 2015. We have working capital deficit of $271,512 and an accumulated deficit of $652,239 at September 30, 2015. Our independent registered auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion on our financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30, 2015 that states that Company's losses from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. We are seeking additional financing. The financing sought may be in the form of equity or debt financing from various sources as yet unidentified. No assurances can be given that we will generate sufficient revenue or obtain the necessary financing to continue as a going concern.
12 |
The Company (i) is engaged in the development of an initial design and framework of its proposed online marketplace and community portal platform through Mr. Clarke's efforts, as well as through the efforts of a software development firm which the Company had been working with on an as "needed basis" and (ii) recently entered into the cannabis industry. We have historically spent between $5,000 and $10,000 per month in operational expenses, and this spending will need to substantially increase in response to the expanded business plan. We have not generated any revenues from our business, and our expenses will be accrued and deferred until sufficient financing is obtained. No assurances can be given that we will be able to receive funds to continue our operations beyond a month-to-month basis. Similarly, there are no assurances that we will be able to raise the funds needed to successfully enter the business of providing consulting and advisory services to the cannabis industry.
Smoofi is and will continue to be completely dependent on the services of our chief executive officer, president and chief financial officer, Sean Clarke, our chief operating officer, John Donahue, and Brian Loiselle, a director serving as a consultant, the loss of whose services may cause our business operations to cease, and we will need to engage and retain additional qualified employees and consultants to further implement our strategy.
Smoofi's operations and business strategy are substantially dependent upon the knowledge and business connections of Messrs. Clarke, Donahue and Loiselle, who are under no contractual obligation to remain employed by us. If one or more should choose to leave us for any reason or becomes ill and is unable to work for an extended period of time before we have hired appropriate replacement personnel, our operations could fail. Even if we are able to find additional personnel, it is uncertain whether we could find someone who could develop our business along the lines described in this prospectus.
Messrs. Clarke's, Donahue's and Loiselle's current employment situations do not limit or restrict them from being involved with our Company.
Because marijuana is illegal under federal law, we could be subject to criminal and civil sanctions for engaging in activities that violate those laws.
Although our current plans to provide services to the cannabis industry primarily involve hemp and derivative products, which are generally subject to substantially less onerous legal regulations than marijuana, to the extent we are involved, even indirectly, with marijuana, we will be subject directly or indirectly with restrictive federal laws.
The U.S. Government classifies marijuana as a schedule-I controlled substance. As a result, marijuana is an illegal substance under federal law. Even in those jurisdictions in which the use of medical marijuana has been legalized at the state level, its prescription is a violation of federal law. The United States Supreme Court has ruled in United States v. Oakland Cannabis Buyers' Coop. and Gonzales v. Raich that it is the federal government that has the right to regulate and criminalize cannabis, even for medical purposes. Therefore, federal law criminalizing the use of marijuana pre-empts state laws that legalizes its use for medicinal purposes.
13 |
As of December 31, 2015, 23 states and the District of Columbia allow its citizens to use medical marijuana, while voters in four states and the District of Columbia have legalized cannabis for recreational use. The state laws are in conflict with the federal Controlled Substances Act, which makes marijuana use and possession illegal on a national level. The Obama administration has effectively stated that it is not an efficient use of resources to direct law federal law enforcement agencies to prosecute those lawfully abiding by state-designated laws allowing the use and distribution of medical marijuana. However, there is no guarantee that the administration will not change its stated policy regarding the low-priority enforcement of federal laws. Additionally, any new administration that follows could change this policy and decide to enforce the federal laws strongly. Any such change in the federal government's enforcement of current federal laws could cause significant financial damage to us and our shareholders.
Laws and regulations affecting the regulated marijuana industry are constantly changing, which could detrimentally affect our proposed operations, and we cannot predict the impact that future regulations may have on us.
Local, state and federal medical marijuana laws and regulations are broad in scope and subject to evolving interpretations, which could require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance or alter our business plan. In addition, violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our proposed cannabis business and result in a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, it is possible that regulations may be enacted in the future that will be directly applicable to the cannabis related portion of our business. We cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor can we determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on our proposed cannabis business.
FDA regulation of marijuana and the possible registration of facilities where medical marijuana is grown could negatively affect the cannabis industry which would directly affect our financial condition.
Should the federal government legalize marijuana for medical use, it is possible that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) would seek to regulate it under the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act of 1938. Additionally, the FDA may issue rules and regulations including CGMPs (certified good manufacturing practices) related to the growth, cultivation, harvesting and processing of medical marijuana. Clinical trials may be needed to verify efficacy and safety. It is also possible that the FDA would require that facilities where medical marijuana is grown be registered with the FDA and comply with certain federally prescribed regulations. In the event that some or all of these regulations are imposed, we do not know what the impact would be on the medical marijuana industry, what costs, requirements and possible prohibitions may be enforced. If we are unable to comply with the regulations and or registration as prescribed by the FDA, we may be unable to continue to operate our business in its current form or at all.
Our future clients that may be involved with marijuana as well as the Company may have difficulty accessing the service of banks, which may make it difficult to contract for real estate needs.
Although our current plans to provide services to the cannabis industry primarily involve hemp and derivative products, which are generally subject to substantially less onerous legal regulations than marijuana, to the extent we are involved, even indirectly, with marijuana, we may have difficulty accessing the service of banks.
14 |
On February 14, 2014, the U.S. government issued rules allowing banks to legally provide financial services to state-licensed marijuana businesses. A memorandum issued by the Justice Department to federal prosecutors re-iterated guidance previously given, this time to the financial industry that banks can do business with legal marijuana businesses and "may not" be prosecuted. The Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) issued guidelines to banks that "it is possible to provide financial services"" to state-licensed marijuana businesses and still be in compliance with federal anti-money laundering laws. The guidance falls short of the explicit legal authorization that banking industry officials had pushed the government to provide and to date it is not clear what if any banks have relied on the guidance and taken on legal marijuana companies as clients. The aforementioned policy may be administration-dependent and a change in presidential administrations may cause a policy reversal and retraction of current policies, wherein legal marijuana businesses may not have access to the banking industry. We could be subject to sanctions if we are found to be a financial institution and not in harmony with FinCEN guidelines. Also, the inability of potential clients in our target market to open accounts and otherwise use the service of banks may make it difficult for them to contract with us.
Because we have only recently commenced business operations, we face a high risk of business failure.
We were formed in October 2013. All of our efforts to date have related to developing our business plan and beginning business activities. Through September 30, 2015, we had no operating revenues. We face a high risk of business failure. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the expenses, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the establishment and expansion of new businesses and the competitive environment in which we will operate. There can be no assurance that future revenues from sales of our products and services will occur or be significant enough or that we will be able to sell our proposed products and proposed services at a profit, if at all. Future revenues and/or profits, if any, will depend on many various factors, including, but not limited to both initial and continued market acceptance of the Company's products and services and the successful implementation of its planned growth strategy.
We have acquired and commenced internally developing our website related business. We may not be able to acquire or internally develop additional services in the future because of a lack of available funds or financing to do so. In order for us to develop or acquire additional products or services, we will need to secure the necessary financing. Until we raise additional funds, we will continue to keep costs to a minimum. The cost to develop our business plan pertaining to the online marketplace portal as currently outlined will likely be in excess of $100,000. We will need additional funds to fully launch the portal and expand into the marketplace. If we are unable to obtain adequate funding or financing, we face the ultimate likelihood of business failure. There are no assurances that we will be able to raise any funds or establish any financing program for our growth. Furthermore, our announced expansion in business strategy to provide consulting and advisory services to the cannabis industry will require substantial funding which we will also have to procure. We will not be able to fully develop any of these businesses without additional funding the absence of which will likely lead to our failure.
We may not have or ever have the resources or ability to implement and manage growth strategy.
Although we expect to experience growth based on being able to implement our business plan, actual operations may never occur because our business plan may never be implemented due to lack of funds. If our business plan and growth strategy are implemented, of which no assurances can be given, a significant strain on our management, operating systems and/or financial resources will be imposed. Failure by our management to manage this growth, if it occurs, or unexpected difficulties encountered during growth, could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
15 |
Our ability to operate profitable product lines or service offerings (if we are able to establish any product, product lines or service offerings at all) will depend upon a number of factors, including (i) identifying distribution channels, (ii) generating sufficient funds from our then existing operations or obtaining third-party financing or additional capital to develop new product lines, (iii) our management team and our financial and accounting controls and (iv) staffing, training and retaining of skilled personnel, if any at all. Certain of these factors will be beyond our control and may be adversely affected by the economy or actions taken by competing companies. Moreover, potential products and/or services that may meet our product/service focus and other criteria for developing new products or services, if we are able to develop or acquire at all, are believed to be limited. There can be no assurance that we will be able to execute and manage a growth strategy effectively or at all.
We may not be successful in hiring technical personnel because of the competitive market for qualified technical people.
Our future success depends largely on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain highly qualified technical personnel to provide our proposed services. Competition for such personnel is intense. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining the technical personnel it requires to conduct and expand its operations successfully and to differentiate itself from its competition. Our results of operations and growth prospects could be materially adversely affected if we were unable to attract, hire, train and retain such qualified technical personnel.
We will face competition from companies with significantly greater resources and name recognition.
The markets in which we will operate are characterized by intense competition from several types of solution and technical service providers. We expect to face further competition from new market entrants and possible alliances among competitors in the future as the convergence of information processing and telecommunications continues. Many of our current and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than us. As a result, they may be better able to respond or adapt to new or emerging technologies and changes in client requirements or to devote greater resources to the development, marketing and sales of their services than us. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully. We expect to encounter intense competition in the Internet/software industry. We will also compete for revenues with other Internet software providers. In addition, we will be faced with numerous competitors, both strategic and financial, in attempting to obtain competitive products and services. Many actual and potential competitors we believe are part of much larger companies with substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources than us, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively against any of our future competitors.
There are significant potential conflicts of interest.
Our personnel, presently Messrs. Clarke, Donahue and Loiselle, commit substantial time to our affairs and, accordingly, these individuals may have conflicts of interest in allocating management time among various business activities. In the course of other business activities, these key personnel may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us, as well as other entities with which they are affiliated. As such, there may be conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.
16 |
Mr. Brian Loiselle, a director of the Company, is a managing member of EastWest Secured Developments LLC ("EWSD"), which has approximately $800,000 invested in the Tamarack Project which is the subject of a certain Letter of Intent described below in Part I, Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Letter of Intent. ESWD also has $830,000 invested in a certain farm in Colorado that we attempted to acquire. This farm was eventually acquired by and is now owned by a competitor; the aforementioned $830,000 is evidenced by a promissory note between the present owner and ESWD. Further, we made a non-refundable deposit of $50,000 in connection with the now-terminated Letter of Intent to acquire this farm which was written off.
We cannot provide assurances that our efforts to eliminate the potential impact of conflicts of interest will be effective.
We are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that will require us to incur audit, legal and filing fees in connection with the preparation of such reports. These additional costs could adversely impact our ability to earn a profit.
We will be required to file periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In order to comply with these requirements, our independent registered public accounting firm will have to review our financial statements on a quarterly basis and audit our financial statements on an annual basis. Moreover, our legal counsel will have to review and assist in the preparation of such reports. The costs charged by these professionals for such services cannot be accurately predicted at this time because factors such as the number and type of transactions that we engage in and the complexity of our reports cannot be determined at this time and will have a major effect on the amount of time to be spent by our auditors and attorneys. However, the incurrence of such costs will obviously be an expense to our operations and thus have a negative effect on our ability to meet our overhead requirements and earn a profit. We may be exposed to potential risks resulting from any new requirements under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our common stock, if a market ever develops, could drop significantly.
Our internal controls may be inadequate, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. As defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
- | pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; | |
- | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and/or directors of the Company; and | |
- | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
17 |
Our internal controls may become inadequate or ineffective, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public. Investors relying upon this misinformation may make an uninformed investment decision.
The costs of being a public company could result in us being unable to continue as a going concern.
As a public company, we will have to comply with numerous financial reporting and legal requirements, including those pertaining to audits, quarterly reporting and internal controls. The costs of this compliance could be significant. If our revenues are insufficient, and/or we cannot satisfy many of these costs through the issuance of our shares, we may be unable to satisfy these costs through the normal course of business which would result in our being unable to perform as a going concern.
Having only two directors limits our ability to establish effective independent corporate governance procedures and increases the control of our chief executive officer, president and chief financial officer and other director.
We have only two directors, one of which who also serves as our chief executive officer, president and chief financial officer, the other that also serves as a consultant. Accordingly, we cannot establish board committees comprised of independent members to oversee functions like compensation or audit issues.
Until we have a larger board of directors that would include some independent members and at least one financial expert, if ever, there will be limited oversight of decisions and a activities of our chief executive officer, president and chief financial officer, our chief operating officer, and our other director, as well as little ability for minority shareholders to challenge or reverse those activities and decisions, even if they are not in the best interests of minority shareholders.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
Shareholders may be diluted significantly through our efforts to obtain financing and satisfy obligations through issuance of additional shares of our common stock.
We have no committed source of financing. Wherever possible, our board of directors will attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations. In many instances, we believe that the non-cash consideration will consist of restricted shares of our common stock. Our board of directors has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the authorized (200,000,000) shares but unissued (169,614,200) shares (exclusive of 700,000 restricted shares granted but not issued). In addition, if a trading market develops for our common stock, we may attempt to raise capital by selling shares of our common stock, possibly at a discount to market. These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders, further dilute book value per share of common stock, and that dilution may be material.
18 |
The interests of shareholders may be hurt because we can issue shares of our common stock to individuals or entities that support existing management with such issuances serving to enhance existing management's ability to maintain control of our company.
Our board of directors has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued common shares. Such issuances may be issued to parties or entities committed to supporting existing management and the interests of existing management which may not be the same as the interests of other shareholders. The board of directors' ability to issue shares without shareholder approval serves to enhance existing management's ability to maintain control of our company.
Our articles of incorporation provide for indemnification of officers and directors at our expense and limit their liability that may result in a major cost to us and hurt the interests of our shareholders because corporate resources may be expended for the benefit of officers and/or directors.
Article X of our Articles of Incorporation provides for indemnification as follows: "No director or officer of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer; provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer: (i) for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing violation of law; or (ii) the payment of dividends in violation of Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Any repeal or modification of an Article by the stockholders of the Corporation shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any limitation of the personal liability of a director or officer of the Corporation for acts or omissions prior to such repeal or modification."
We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with our activities, we will (unless in the opinion of our counsel, the matter has been settled by controlling precedent) submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question whether indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The legal process relating to this matter if it were to occur is likely to be very costly and may result in us receiving negative publicity, eitherof which factors is likely to materially reduce the market and price for our shares, if such a market ever develops.
19 |
If we were designated a shell our ability to resell your shares would be limited.
Some of the presently outstanding shares of our common stock are "restricted securities" as defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and may only be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration, if available. Pursuant to Rule 144, if we were designated a "shell company" as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act and Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, one year would be required to elapse from the time, we ceased to be a "shell company" and filed a Form 8-K addressing Item 5.06 with such information as may be required in a Form 10 Registration Statement with the SEC, before our restricted shareholders could resell their holdings in reliance on Rule 144. The Form 10 information or disclosure is equivalent to the information that a company would be required to file if it were registering a class of securities on Form 10 under the Exchange Act. Under amended Rule 144, restricted or unrestricted securities that were initially issued by a reporting or non-reporting shell company, or a company that was at any time previously a reporting or non-reporting shell company, can only be resold in reliance on Rule 144 if the following conditions are met:
1) | the issuer of the securities that was formerly a reporting or non-reporting shell company has ceased to be a shell company; | |
2) | the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; | |
3) | the issuer of the securities has filed all reports and material required to be filed under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding twelve months (or shorter period that the Issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and | |
4) | at least one year has elapsed from the time the issuer filed the current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company. |
At the present time, we are not classified as a "shell company" under Rule 405 of the Securities Act Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act. However, in the event we were to be so designated, you would be unable to sell your shares under Rule 144.
Any market that develops in shares of our common stock will be subject to the penny stock regulations and restrictions pertaining to low priced stocks that will create a lack of liquidity and make trading difficult or impossible.
The trading of our securities, if any, will be in the over-the-counter market which is commonly referred to as the OTCQB/OTCBB. As a result, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of our securities.
Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a minimum bid price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a limited number of exceptions which are not available to us. It is likely that our shares will be considered to be penny stocks for the immediately foreseeable future. This classification severely and adversely affects any market liquidity for our common stock.
For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the penny stock rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
20 |
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, sets forth:
- | the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination, and | |
- | that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. |
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stock in both public offerings and in secondary trading and commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Additionally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may not wish to engage in the above-referenced necessary paperwork and disclosures and/or may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling shareholders or other holders to sell their shares in any secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in any secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities, if and when our securities become publicly traded. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may decrease, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Our shares, in all probability, will be subject to such penny stock rules for the foreseeable future and our shareholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their securities.
The market for penny stocks has experienced numerous frauds and abuses that could adversely impact investors in our stock.
Company management believes that the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:
Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; "Boiler room" practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by sales persons; Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and Wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.
- - - - -
Our board of directors (consisting of two individuals, our chief executive officer, president and chief financial officer and one other) has the authority, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with terms that may not be beneficial to common stockholders and with the ability to affect adversely stockholder voting power and perpetuate their control over us.
Our articles of incorporation allow us to issue shares of preferred stock without any vote or further action by our stockholders. Our board of directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our board of directors also has the authority to issue preferred stock without further stockholder approval, including large blocks of preferred stock. As a result, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments before dividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of our common stock.
21 |
The concentrated beneficial ownership of our common stock and the ability it affords to control our business may limit or eliminate minority shareholders' ability to influence corporate affairs.
Because of this concentrated stock ownership, the Company's largest stockholder, who is one of our two directors, will be in a position to elect our board of directors, decide all matters requiring stockholder approval and determine our policies. The interests of this stockholder may differ from the interests of other shareholders with respect to the issuance of shares, business transactions with or sales to other companies, selection of officers and directors and other business decisions. The minority shareholders would have no way of overriding decisions made by our principal stockholder. This level of control may also have an adverse impact on the market value of our shares because our principal stockholder may institute or undertake transactions, policies or programs that may result in losses, may not take any steps to increase our visibility in the financial community and/or may sell sufficient numbers of shares to significantly decrease our price per share.
We do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. We do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock at any time in the foreseeable future. The future payment of dividends directly depends upon our future earnings, capital requirements, financial requirements and other factors that our board of directors will consider. Since we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock, return on your investment, if any, will depend solely on an increase, if any, in the market value of our common stock.
Because we are not subject to compliance with rules requiring the adoption of certain corporate governance measures, our stockholders have limited protection against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rule changes proposed and enacted by the SEC, the New York and American Stock Exchanges and the Nasdaq Stock Market, as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley, require the implementation of various measures relating to corporate governance. These measures are designed to enhance the integrity of corporate management and the securities markets and apply to securities that are listed on those exchanges or the Nasdaq Stock Market. Because we are not presently required to comply with many of the corporate governance provisions and because we chose to avoid incurring the substantial additional costs associated with such compliance any sooner than legally required, we have not yet adopted these measures.
Since none of our directors (currently two people) are independent directors or financial experts, we do not currently have independent audit or compensation committees. As a result, these directors have the ability, among other things, to determine their own level of compensation. Until we comply with such corporate governance measures, regardless of whether such compliance is required, the absence of such standards of corporate governance may leave our stockholders without protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest, if any, and similar matters and investors may be reluctant to provide us with funds necessary to expand our operations.
We intend to comply with all corporate governance measures relating to director independence as and when required. However, we may find it very difficult or be unable to attract and retain qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide for our effective management as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has resulted in a series of rules and regulations by the SEC that increase responsibilities and liabilities of directors and executive officers. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may make it costlier or deter qualified individuals from accepting these roles.
22 |
You may have limited access to information regarding our business because our obligations to file periodic reports with the SEC could be automatically suspended under certain circumstances.
We are subject to certain informational requirements of the Exchange Act, as amended and we will be required to file periodic reports (i.e., annual, quarterly and material events) with the SEC which will be immediately available to the public for inspection and copying. These reporting obligations may be automatically suspended under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act if we have less than 300 shareholders and do not file a registration statement on Form 8-A (of which we have no current plans to file). If this occurs after the year in which our registration statement became effective (i.e., 2014), we will no longer be obligated to file such periodic reports with the SEC and access to our business information would then be even more restricted. We may be required to deliver periodic reports to security holders as proscribed by the Exchange Act, as amended. However, we will not be required to furnish proxy statements to security holders and our directors, officers and principal beneficial owners will not be required to report their beneficial ownership of securities to the SEC pursuant to Section 16 of the Exchange Act until we have both 500 or more security holders and greater than $10 million in assets. This means that access to information regarding our business and operations will be limited.
We are an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and as a consequence of taking advantage of certain exemptions from reporting requirements that are available to emerging growth companies, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
We are an emerging growth company as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Pursuant to Section 107 of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, we may take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards, meaning that we can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have chosen to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies to delay adoption of such standards until such standards are made applicable to private companies. Accordingly, our financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of public companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.
For all of the foregoing reasons and others set forth herein, an investment in our securities in any market that may develop in the future involves a high degree of risk.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Our office address is 1031 Calle Recodo, Suite B, San Clemente, CA 92673. The space is provided to us by Mr. Clarke. Mr. Clarke currently incurs no incremental costs as a result of our using the space; therefore, he does not charge us for its use. There is no written lease agreement.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On September 17, 2015, Bristol Capital, LLC, filed a shareholders' derivative lawsuit against, among others, Brian Loiselle, a member of our Board of Directors, and CorGreen Technologies Holding Corporation ("CorGreen"), a public company where Mr. Loiselle formerly held an officer and director position. The lawsuit is currently pending on the Superior Court of California, County of Orange, Central Justice Center, Case No. 30-2015-00810402-CU-PP-CJC. Mr. Loiselle has informed us that CorGreen has agreed to represent him in the lawsuit and to defend Mr. Loiselle. The lawsuit does not involve the Company and so we believe the lawsuit has no actual or expected impact on our operating results or financial condition. Mr. Loiselle has informed us that he believes the allegations in the complaint are false and that he intends to ensure he is vigorously defended.

Description of Securities
The Company is authorized by its Articles of Incorporation to issue an aggregate of 205,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 200,000,000 are shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock") and 5,000,000 are shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Preferred Stock"). As of January 8, 2016, 30,385,800 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding.
24 |
Preferred Stock
Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by our board of directors. No shares of preferred stock have been designated, issued or were outstanding as of January 8, 2016. Accordingly, our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with voting, liquidation, conversion, or other rights that could adversely affect the rights of the holders of the common stock. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of preferred stock, there can be no assurance that we will not do so in the future.
Among other rights, our board of directors may determine, without further vote or action by our stockholders:
the number of shares and the designation of the series; whether to pay dividends on the series and, if so, the dividend rate, whether dividends will be cumulative and, if so, from which date or dates, and the relative rights of priority of payment of dividends on shares of the series; whether the series will have voting rights in addition to the voting rights provided by law and, if so, the terms of the voting rights; whether the series will be convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any other class or series of stock and, if so, the terms and conditions of conversion or exchange; whether or not the shares of the series will be redeemable and, if so, the dates, terms and conditions of redemption and whether there will be a sinking fund for the redemption of that series and, if so, the terms and amount of the sinking fund; and the rights of the shares of the series in the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up and the relative rights or priority, if any, of payment of shares of the series.
- - - - - -
We presently do not have plans to issue any shares of preferred stock. However, preferred stock could be used to dilute a potential hostile acquirer. Accordingly, any future issuance of preferred stock or any rights to purchase preferred shares may have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us. This may delay, defer or prevent a change of control in our Company or an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The issuance of preferred stock also could decrease the amount of earnings attributable to, and assets available for distribution to, the holders of our common stock and could adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the holders of our common stock.

Common Stock
Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 200,000,000 shares of common stock. There are 30,385,800 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding on January 8, 2016. The holders of our common stock:
have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available for payment of dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors; - are entitled to share ratably in all of the assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs; - do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights, or redemption or access to any sinking fund; and - are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters submitted to stockholders for a vote at any meeting of stockholders
-
See also Plan of Distribution regarding negative implications of being classified as a "Penny Stock."
Authorized but Un-issued Capital Stock
Nevada law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital or to facilitate corporate acquisitions.
One of the effects of the existence of un-issued and unreserved common stock (and/or preferred stock) may be to enable our board of directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our board by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of our management and possibly deprive the stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of our common stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.
The description of certain matters relating to the securities of the Company is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the Company's Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws.

Holders
As of January 8, 2016, there were approximately 40 holders of record of our common stock.

Recent Sale of Unregistered Securities
In October 2013, following the Company's incorporation on October 15, 2013, the Company issued 21,750,000 shares of our common stock to its founder, Derek Cahill, as consideration for the purchase of a business plan along with a website. The acquisition of the business plan and website was valued at $72,500. On April 24, 1015, Mr. Cahill sold, for the consideration of $7,250, 21,750,000 shares of our common stock to Blue River Equity LLC, which is beneficially owned by a director of the Company, Mr. Brian Loiselle.
On October 29, 2013, the Company completed a private placement whereby it issued 5,400,000 shares of common stock to accredited investors at $0.003 per share for total gross proceeds of $18,000.
On April 16, 2014, the Company completed a public offering whereby it issued 1,735,800 shares of common stock at $0.042 per share for total gross proceeds of $72,325. The Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 was declared effective March 6, 2014.
On August 7, 2015, the Company granted 100,000 shares of restricted common stock to its chief operating officer. On the date of the grant, the shares were valued at $.61 per share which was the unadjusted closing share price on that date for a fair value of $61,000. The shares vest over a six-month period, with the vested shares recorded on the accompanying balance sheet under equity - shares to be issued. The subject 100,000 shares of common stock will be issued in a subsequent period.

We relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended for the above private placement issuances. We believed that Section 4(2) was available because:
· None of these issuances involved underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions · We placed restrictive legends on all certificates issued · No sales were made by general solicitation or advertising · Sales were made only to accredited investors
In connection with the above transactions, we provided the following to all investors:
· Access to all our books and records · Access to all material contracts and documents relating to our operation · The opportunity to obtain any additional information, to the extent we possessed such information, necessary to verify the accuracy of the information to which the investors were given access
The Company's Board of Directors has the power to issue any or all of the authorized but unissued Common Stock without stockholder approval. We currently have no commitments to issue any shares of common stock not disclosed elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-K.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the operating results, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2015 and for the period of October 15, 2013 (inception) through September 30, 2014. The discussion and analysis that follows should be read together with the section entitled "Forward Looking Statements" and our consolidated financial statements and the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Except for historical information, the matters discussed in this section are forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and are based upon judgments concerning various factors that are beyond the Company's control. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report.

Company Overview
The Company has not generated revenue since its inception on October 15, 2013 from the two business segments described below.
Online marketplace and community
The Company's initially-defined business strategy is to acquire and/or develop and market software and services that will significantly enhance the performance and functionality of the Internet services used by individuals and by small to medium sized businesses. The Company's products and services, essentially an online marketplace and community, will use proprietary technology that will enable users, both service requestors and service providers, to work collaboratively to obtain substantial improvements in performance, reliability and usability. Service requestors (people or companies requesting a service) name their own price, date and time for any service. A service requestor can also select qualifying criteria such as number of reviews or review rankings of a service provider. The first service provider who can provide that service, on that date, at that time and meets the service ranking requirements will get the project
The Company's online marketplace and online community will match up daily job or service requests and fill market demand for service requests throughout a particular local community, county or city and will connect local resources with local needs. A goal is to create jobs and provide market value for basic services by aggregating these low cost services within each local market. This will maximize value for either the person or company requesting the service and for the person or company providing the service. In other words, service providers will get the best possible price for their service and the party requesting the service will pay the lowest possible price.
Operations, Consulting and Advisory Services in the Cannabis Industry
As an expansion of our overall business strategy, we have appointed a new Director to expand our platform and services to enter the cannabis industry. We intended to enter into this area by leasing farm land.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The SEC has defined a company's critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the company's financial condition and results of operations, and which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances; however, actual results may vary from these estimates and assumptions. We have identified in Note 2 - "Summary of Accounting Policies" to the Financial Statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K certain critical accounting policies that affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.
Going Concern
Our auditor has issued a "going concern" qualification as part of its opinion in the Audit Report for the year ended September 30, 2015, and our financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2015 include a "going concern" footnote (See Footnote 3) disclosing that our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent on us to be able to raise working capital to generate revenue by completing and launching our online marketplace and community portal and implementing the new business strategy of providing consulting and advisory services to the cannabis industry.
Intangibles
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful life. The Company monitors conditions related to these assets to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining amortization period. The Company tests its intangible assets with finite lives for potential impairment whenever management concludes events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The original estimate of an asset's useful life and the impact of an event or circumstance on either an asset's useful life or carrying value involve significant judgment.

Since acquiring the business plan and website, most of our resources and work have been devoted to our online marketplace and community portal, that is, planning our business, web site development, mobile application development, and implementing systems and controls. When those procedures are completed, which we believe will occur over few month period following the receipt of adequate financing, we will primarily work on our intended service offerings as well further internal development of software for which we have developed our initial framework of and completed some coding. We believe that the work needed to initiate and complete the software development for our online marketplace and community portal, attract developers, and initiate our marketing plans, including the development of a saleable product suite, may be in excess of $100,000 if outside contractors and experts are used. If we are able to secure funding to outsource these procedures, of which there are no assurances, we will then commence the launch of our intended services and software products to the public. If we are able to use internal resources only (primarily consisting of the services of our chief executive officer, president and chief financial officer), the process will take much longer and our initial launch may be limited to a much smaller target market. If we are unable to raise any funds, the development costs would have to be funded by our chief executive officer, president and chief financial officer to the extent that he is capable and willing to provide such funds. While we have previously engaged the services of an established software development firm which we used on an as "needed basis", their involvement is limited by our ability to raise financing. Our goal would be to have software products available, services available, multiple sales channels and a comprehensive corporate website up and running within one year, but there is no way of estimating what the likelihood of achieving that goal would be.
In October 2013, following the Company's incorporation on October 15, 2013, the Company issued 21,750,000 shares of our common stock to its founder, Derek Cahill, as consideration for the purchase of a business plan along with a website. The acquisition of the business plan and website was valued at $72,500. To date, we have sold 5,400,000 shares of our common stock at $0.003 per share for $18,000 through a private placement and we sold 1,735,800 shares of our common stock at $0.042 per share for total gross proceeds of $72,325 through a public placement.

If a market for our shares ever develops, of which there can be no assurances, we may use restricted shares of our common stock to compensate employees/consultants and independent contractors wherever possible. We cannot predict the likelihood or source of raising capital or funds that may be needed to complete the development of our business plan and its stages as outlined above.
As a public company, we will incur ongoing expenses associated with professional fees for accounting, legal and a host of other expenses including annual reports and proxy statements, if required. We estimate that these costs will range up to $50,000 per year over the next few years and may be significantly higher if our business volume and transactional activity increases but should be lower during our first year of being public because our overall business volume (and financial transactions) will be lower, and we would not be subject to the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 for an opinion on our system on internal controls by our independent audit firm unless and until we exceed $75 million in market capitalization. These obligations may reduce our ability and resources to expand our business plan and activities. We hope to be able to use our status as a public company to increase our ability to use noncash means of settling outstanding obligations (i.e. issuance of restricted shares of our common stock) and compensate independent contractors who provide professional services to us, although there can be no assurances that we will be successful in any of these efforts. We will also reduce compensation levels paid to management (if we attract or retain outside personnel to perform this function) if there is insufficient cash generated from operations to satisfy these costs.
We are presently seeking equity and debt financing for both segments of our business. However, these actions, if successful, would likely result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders and further dilute common stock book value, and such dilution may be material. Such issuances may also serve to enhance existing management's ability to maintain control of the Company because the shares may be issued to parties or entities committed to supporting existing management. The Company may offer shares of its common stock to settle a portion of the professional fees incurred in connection with its registration statement. No negotiations have taken place with any professional and no assurances can be made as to the likelihood that any professional will accept shares in settlement of obligations due them.
As of September 30, 2015, we owed $191,844 in connection with organizational costs, past and recent professional services, business and framework development costs incurred. We have not entered into any formal agreements, written or oral, with any vendors or other providers for payment of services or expenses and to our as "needed basis" software development firm as further described below. There are no other significant liabilities at September 30, 2015.
As of September 30, 2015, the Company had two notes payable issued and outstanding with a total principle of $75,025 and accrued interest of $10,168. The first note, with a remaining balance of $25,000, was due on June 30, 2015, and has an interest rate of 12%. This note remains unpaid. The second note for $50,025, which was issued on June 29, 2015 and was due on July 3, 2015, and has an interest rate of 8%. This note remains unpaid.

Letters of Intent
On April 24, 2015, the Company signed a non-binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") with a licensed cultivator to provide turnkey operations and services to a 150,000 square foot licensed cultivation facility located in Pueblo, Colorado (the "Tamarack Project"). In connection therewith, the first phase of construction was expected to begin in June 2015, with cultivation expected begin in early July; however, none of these events have occurred as of the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Further progress with respect to this LOI is dependent on, among other matters, the Company obtaining the necessary financing to proceed.
A separate non-binding LOI with Generex Biotechnology Corporation signed April 22, 2015 has been effectively terminated.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into 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 and would be considered material to investors.
Contractual Obligations
As a "smaller reporting company" as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide this information.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Smoofi, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Smoofi, Inc. ("Company") as of September 30, 2015 and 2014 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2015 and for the period from October 15, 2013 (inception) to September 30, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits include consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statements presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Smoofi, Inc. as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, and the result of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2015 and for the period from October 15, 2013 (inception) to September 30, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has had minimal revenues and earnings since inception. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 3, which includes achieving profitable operations and raising additional funds through financing. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
Smoofi, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 15, 2013. The Company issued 21,750,000 shares of its common stock to our founder, Derek Cahill, as consideration for the purchase of a business plan along with a website.
Online marketplace and community
The Company's initially-defined business strategy is to acquire and/or develop and market software and services that will significantly enhance the performance and functionality of the Internet services used by individuals and by small to medium sized businesses. The Company's products and services, essentially an online marketplace and community, will use proprietary technology that will enable users, both service requestors and service providers, to work collaboratively to obtain substantial improvements in performance, reliability and usability. Service requestors (people or companies requesting a service) name their own price, date and time for any service. A service requestor can also select qualifying criteria such as number of reviews or review rankings of a service provider. The first service provider who can provide that service, on that date, at that time and meets the service ranking requirements will get the project
The Company's online marketplace and online community will match up daily job or service requests and fill market demand for service requests throughout a particular local community, county or city and will connect local resources with local needs. A goal is to create jobs and provide market value for basic services by aggregating these low cost services within each local market. This will maximize value for either the person or company requesting the service and for the person or company providing the service. In other words, service providers will get the best possible price for their service and the party requesting the service will pay the lowest possible price.
Operations, Consulting and Advisory Services in the Cannabis Industry
As an expansion of our overall business strategy, we have appointed a new Director to expand our platform and services to enter the cannabis industry. We intended to enter into this area by leasing farm land.
F-6
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Basis of Presentation
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a September 30 fiscal year end.
b. Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the balance sheet and statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
c. Stock-based Compensation
The Company follows ASC 718-10, Stock Compensation, which addresses the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, with a primary focus on transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. ASC 718-10 requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). Incremental compensation costs arising from subsequent modifications of awards after the grant date must be recognized. The Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options. Nonemployee share-based payments are measured at fair value, based on either the fair value of the equity instrument issued or on the fair value of the services received. We determine the fair value of common stock grants based on the price of the common stock on the measurement date (which is the earlier of the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, if there are sufficient disincentives to ensure performance, or the date at which the counterparty's performance is complete).
d. Use of Estimates and Assumptions
Preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 260.
e. Loss per Share
The basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the year. The diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net loss available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are the same as basic earnings (loss) per share due to the lack of dilutive items in the Company.
f. Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
F-7
ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company's adoption of fair value measurements and disclosures did not have a material impact on the financial statements and financial statement disclosures
g. Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
No provision was made for Federal or State income taxes for the reporting periods presented.
h. Advertising
Advertising will be expensed in the period in which it is incurred. There have been no advertising expenses for the reporting periods presented.
i. Intangible Assets
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful life. The Company monitors conditions related to these assets to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining amortization period. The Company tests its intangible assets with finite lives for potential impairment whenever management concludes events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The original estimate of an asset's useful life and the impact of an event or circumstance on either an asset's useful life or carrying value involve significant judgment.
j. Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASC 605 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.
F-8
k. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. ASU 2014-10 eliminates the distinction of a development stage entity and certain related disclosure requirements, including the elimination of inception-to-date information on the statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity. The amendments in ASU 2014-10 will be effective prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods, however early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2014-10 during the quarter ended June 30, 2014, thereby no longer presenting or disclosing any information required by Topic 915.
The Company reviewed all recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC and they did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had a negative working capital of $271,512 and an accumulated deficit of $652,239 at September 30, 2015.
While the Company believes that, with adequate financial resources, it will be able to generate revenues from services, including cannabis industry consulting services, and further developing and launching its marketplace platform, the Company's cash position is not sufficient to support theses growth plans and daily operations. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further broaden and implement its business plan and generate additional services, products and revenue provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to realize revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances that will ever occur. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain adequate financing and achieve profitable operations.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 4 - INTANGIBLE ASSET
The Company's intangible asset is an online marketplace and community platform designed to provide an online venue for basic services by aggregating typically low cost services within each local market. This platform has yet to be launched since development has not been completed. The additional passage of time since initial design and development efforts commenced indicates that impairment of this intangible asset may have occurred. The Company's lack of funds required to complete development, launch and begin marketing efforts is the reason for this passage of time. In accordance with GAAP, a two-step approach is required, with the first being a recoverability test comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the sum of future undiscounted cash flows to be generated through use and eventual disposition. Due principally to the increase over time in the number of service offerings that compete with one or more features of the Company's platform and that have been launched and successfully gained market share, as well as general technological advances, the Company has determined that it cannot forecast future revenue and expenses and calculate future cash flows and fair value; accordingly, management has concluded that the entire carrying amount may not be recoverable and, therefore, an impairment loss of $74,495 has been recorded and included in general and administrative expenses for the year ended September 30, 2015.
NOTE 5 - DEPOSIT ON INVESTMENT
On June 29, 2015, the Company made a non-refundable payment of $50,000 in connection with a Letter of Intent to purchase certain farm property in Colorado. The Company did not close on the purchase of the property; accordingly, it wrote off the payment and included the charge in general and administrative expenses.
NOTE 6 - CONSULTING AGREEMENT
On April 1, 2015, the Company entered into a twelve-month consulting agreement with an investor relations firm. Per the agreement, the Company will pay the consultant a monthly fee of $8,500 on the first day of each month with the payment deferred until the Company closes financing in the amount of $3 million or greater. Additionally, the Company was required to issue the consultant 200,000 shares of common stock on October 1, 2015. On the date of the consulting agreement entered, April 1, 2015, the shares were valued at $1.00 per share which was the unadjusted share price prior to three-for-one forward stock split. The shares, which have not been issued as of September 30, 2015 and were recorded under equity - shares to be issued, will be issued in a subsequent period.
During the year ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded stock based compensation expense in the amount of $200,000 associated with the vesting of the common stock.
NOTE 7 - NOTES PAYABLE
As of September 30, 2015, the Company had two notes payable issued and outstanding with a total principle of $75,025 and accrued interest of $10,168. The first note, with a remaining balance of $25,000, was due on June 30, 2015, has an interest rate of 12%. This note remains unpaid. The second note, which was issued on June 29, 2015 and was due on July 3, 2015, has an interest rate of 8%, and remains unpaid. Both notes are in default as of September 30, 2015.
F-9
NOTE 8 - SHARE CAPITAL
The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The Company issued 500,000 shares of its common stock to its chief executive officer, president and chief financial officer as founder shares. The Company issued 21,750,000 shares of its common stock to Derek Cahill as consideration for the purchase of a business plan along with a website. The acquisition of the business plan and website was valued at $72,500.
On October 29, 2013, the Company completed a private placement whereby it issued 5,400,000 shares of common stock to accredited investors at $0.003 per share for total gross proceeds of $18,000.
On April 16, 2014, the Company completed a public offering whereby the Company sold 1,735,800 shares of its common stock at $0.042 per share for total gross proceeds of $72,325.
On April 1, 2015, the Company entered into a twelve-month consulting agreement with an investor relations firm. Per the agreement, the Company granted 200,000 shares of restricted common stock to the investor relations firm which fully vested on October 1, 2015. On the date of the consulting agreement was entered into, April 1, 2015, the shares were valued at $1.00 per share which was the unadjusted share price prior to three-for-one forward stock split. During the year ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded share based compensation expense in the amount of $200,000 associated with the vesting of the common stock granted. The vested common stock was recorded under equity - shares to be issued.
On April 21, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a three-for-one forward stock split of the Company's common stock. Accordingly, shareholders owning shares of the Company's common stock will receive two additional shares of the Company for each share they own. The Company had 10,128,600 shares issued and outstanding. As a result of the forward stock split, at September 30, 2015 the Company has 30,385,800 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The Company received notification from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) on May 7, 2015, that it could proceed with the three-for-one forward stock split. Additional funds were reallocated from Additional Paid in Capital to the Common Stock account in an amount equal to the additional par value represented by the additional shares issued under the stock split. All share information presented in these financial statements and accompanying footnotes has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the increased number of shares resulting from this transaction.
On August 7, 2015, the Company granted 100,000 shares of restricted common stock to its chief operating officer. On the date of grant, the shares were valued at $.61 per share which was the unadjusted closing share price on that date for a fair value of $61,000. The shares vest over a six-month period; accordingly, during the year ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded stock based compensation expense in the amount of $17,902 associated with vesting of the common stock granted. The vested common stock was recorded under equity - shares to be issued. The subject 100,000 shares of common stock will be issued in a subsequent period.
NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES
As of September 30, 2015, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $652,239 that may be available to reduce future years' taxable income through 2034. The Company has not filed its income tax return.

Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the period that deductible temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be available to reduce taxable income. Management periodically reviews the likelihood that that it will be able to recover its deferred tax assets. As the achievement of required future taxable income is uncertain based on an assessment of all available evidence, the Company recorded a valuation allowance equal to the full amount of its deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2015.
Reconciliation between the provision for income taxes and the expected tax benefit using the federal statutory rate of 34% and state statutory rate of 5.0% for 2015 is as follows:

NOTE 10 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Mr. Brian Loiselle, a director of and consultant to the Company, has, through an affiliated company, approximately $800,000 invested in the "Tamarack Project" which is the subject of a certain Letter of Intent to which the Company is a party, as well as $830,000 invested in a certain farm and property in Colorado that the Company unsuccessfully attempted to acquire. This farm was eventually acquired by and is now owned by a competitor; the aforementioned $830,000 is evidenced by a promissory note between the present owner and the affiliated company controlled by Mr. Loiselle. As described in Note 4, the Company made a non-refundable payment of $50,000 in connection with its attempt to purchase this farm and property, which was written off in the year ended September 30, 2015.
On April 22, 2015, the Company and Newport Board Group entered into an Advisory Services Agreement whereby Mr. Donahue would serve as the Company's Chief Operating Officer. The term of the initial agreement was for 60 days. A second agreement was executed on June 9, 2015, with no set termination date; however, either party may terminate the agreement at any time with 30 days' written notice. The monthly fee under both agreements is $4,000. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, the Company paid $11,832 to Newport Board Group, with an additional $9,500 of monthly fees deferred and included as Due to Related Party at September 30, 2015. The Company has continued to defer and accrue all additional fees through the date of filing of this Report. As described in Note 8, on August 7, 2015, the Company granted 100,000 shares of restricted common stock to Mr. Donahue.
NOTE 11 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On January 14, 2016, the Company issued a promissory note in the amount of $47,000 to EastWest Secured Developments, LLC; an Arizona Limited Liability company of which Mr. Brian Loiselle, a director of and consultant to the Company, is a managing member. The principal and unpaid and accrued interest thereon are due on the earlier of one week after the closing of a certain contemplated acquisition or July 31, 2016.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
There are not and have not been any disagreements between the Company and its accountants on any matter of accounting principles, practices or financial statement disclosure.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: We conducted an evaluation by our management, which consists of two individuals, our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Financial Officer and our Chief Operating Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term "disclosure controls and procedures", as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC`s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of September 30, 2015, that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level and are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures will meet their objectives. However, it should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. 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 generally accepted accounting principles. The key internal controls for the Company are provided by executive management's review and approval of all transactions. Our internal control over financial reporting also includes those policies and procedures that:
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
(1) (2) (3)
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
36 |
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal controls and procedures over financial reporting as of September 30, 2015. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Management's assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of these controls.
Based on this assessment, management has concluded that as of September 30, 2015, our internal control over financial reporting was effective 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.
Attestation Report of the Independent Public Accounting Firm
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to applicable rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
No executive officer or director has been involved in the last ten years in any of the following:
· Any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business or property of such person, or 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; · Any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); · Being 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 or banking activities; · Being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC 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; · Being the subject of or a party to any judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated relating to an alleged violation of any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation, or any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies, including but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order, or any law or regulation prohibiting mail, fraud, wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or · Being the subject of or a party to any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act, any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.
Corporate Governance by Board - Meetings, Committees and Audit Committee Financial Expert
In general, Boards of Directors have responsibility for risk management responsibilities and establishing broad corporate policies and reviewing overall performance rather than day-to-day operations. Also, a primary responsibility of a Board is to oversee the management of the Company and, in doing so, serve the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Boards select, evaluate and provide for the succession of executive officers and, subject to stockholder election, directors. Boards review and approve corporate objectives and strategies, and evaluate significant policies and proposed major commitments of corporate resources. Boards of Directors also participate in decisions that have a potential major economic impact on the Company. Management keeps directors informed of company activity through regular communication, including written reports and presentations at Board and committee meetings.
39 |
We do not currently have regularly scheduled quarterly Board meetings, nor do we have standing audit, nominating or compensation committees of our Board of Directors, or any committee performing similar functions. Our Board of Directors performs the functions of audit, nominating and compensation committees. As of the date of this prospectus, no member of our Board of Directors qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation SK promulgated under the Securities Act.
The Company is evaluating expansion of its current Board of Directors, including the addition of an independent board member with sufficient accounting and financial experience to chair an audit committee, as well as creating charters for its contemplated audit committee and compensation committee.
Director Nominations
As of September 30, 2015, we did not affect any material changes to the procedures by which our shareholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors. We have not established formal procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to the Company's board of directors.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions. A copy of our code of ethics may be obtained free of charge by contacting us at the address or telephone number listed on the cover page hereof.
Section 16 Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors, executive officers and significant stockholders (defined by statute as stockholders beneficially owning more than 10% of our common stock) to file with the SEC initial reports of beneficial ownership, and reports of changes in beneficial ownership, of our common stock. Directors, executive officers and significant stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on a review of the copies of Forms 3, 4 and 5 (and amendments thereto) filed with the SEC and submitted to us, and on written representations by certain directors and executive officers received by us, we believe that not all of our executive officers, directors and significant stockholders complied with all applicable filing requirements under Section 16(a) during fiscal 2015 in that Blue River Equity LLC, Mr. Clarke and Mr. Loiselle did not file the appropriate requisite forms on a timely basis; however, each has represented to so as soon as practical.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
The only promoters of Smoofi would be Mr. Clarke, chief executive officer, president and chief financial officer. The Company issued 1,500,000 shares of its common stock to Mr. Clarke for founder's shares.
Our office and mailing address is 1031 Calle Recodo, Suite B, San Clemente, CA 92673. The space is provided to us by Mr. Clarke. Mr. Clarke incurs no incremental costs as a result of our using the space. Therefore, he does not charge us for its use. There is no written lease agreement.
Mr. Brian Loiselle, a director of the Company, has approximately $800,000 invested in the "Tamarack Project" which is the subject of a certain Letter of Intent to which the Company is a party, as well as $830,000 invested in a certain farm in Colorado that we unsuccessfully attempted to acquire. This farm was eventually acquired by and is now owned by a competitor; the aforementioned $830,000 is evidenced by a promissory note between the present owner and an affiliated company controlled by Mr. Loiselle.
Corporate Governance and Director Independence.
The Company has not:
· established its own definition for determining whether its directors and nominees for directors are "independent" nor has it adopted any other standard of independence employed by any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, though our current director would not be deemed to be "independent" under any applicable definition given that he is an officer of the Company; nor · established any committees of the board of directors.
Given the nature of the Company's business, its limited stockholder base and the current composition of management, the board of directors does not believe that the Company requires any corporate governance committees at this time.
As of the date hereof, the entire board serves as the Company's audit committee.
ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
Independent Public Accountants
On December 18, 2013, we engaged TAAD, LLP ("TAAD") our new independent registered public accounting firm. The appointment of TAAD was approved by our Board of Directors. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, we did not consult with TAAD on (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that may be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and TAAD did not provide either a written report or oral advice to the Company that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (ii) the subject of any disagreement, as defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions, or a reportable event within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
Audit Fees
During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company paid TAAD approximately $6,325 and $5,450, respectively, for auditing services they performed throughout those years.
44 |
Tax Fees
During the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, our principal accountant did not render services to us for tax compliance, tax advice or tax planning.
All Other Fees
During the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, there were no fees billed for products and services provided by the principal accountant other than those set forth above.
Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditors
Consistent with SEC policies regarding auditor independence, the Audit Committee has responsibility for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of the independent auditor. In recognition of this responsibility, Since the Company does not presently have an Audit Committee, the board has established a policy to preapprove all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditor.
Audit services include audit work performed of financial statements, as well as work that generally only the independent auditor can reasonably be expected to provide, including statutory audits, and attest services and consultation regarding financial accounting and/or reporting standards. Audit-Related services are for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the audit or review of our financial statements. Tax services include all services performed by the independent auditor's tax personnel except those services specifically related to the audit of the financial statements, and includes fees in the areas of tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice. Other Fees are those associated with products or services not captured in the other categories.
