PART I
Item 1. Business.
Overview
Asiya Pearls, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 25, 2013. We are in the business of the online retail sale of high grade loose pearls which we intend to obtain from suppliers in Hyderabad, one of the major pearl centers in India. We intend to offer pearls to consumers in our online store. For orders, we will access the inventory maintained by our supplier. Our product line will consist of pearls of different sizes, colors and characteristics (drilled and whole). The concept is that our customers have their own jewelry designers who, with our pearls, will custom-make their jewelry. Our president has ample experience in online retail and our second director has experience in pearls and jewelry. We sell these products through an internet website (the "Website"). Our website (www.asiyapearls.com) is operational. Unfortunately we have received no orders for pearls as yet. We continue to hope we will get orders for pearls in the very near future as survival of our Company is dependent on these orders. We require approximately $15,000 for the next 12 months as a reporting issuer and we have a working capital of $4,265 and if additional funds become required before generation of revenue, the additional funding may come from equity financing from the sale of our common stock or loans from our directors and their associates. In the event we do not raise sufficient capital to implement its planned operations, your entire investment could be lost.
Our office is located at the premises of our President, Shabbir Shaikh, who provides such space to us on a rent-free basis at H. 2434, Tengengar Galli, Belgaum, India.
There have been no material reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or purchases or sales of any significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business since the date of incorporation. The Company has never been party to any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding, nor has it undergone any material reclassification, merger, consolidation, purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business.
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months. This is because we have not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated.
Plan of Operation
About Our Company
We have had no revenues since our website became operational and we have $4,265 in cash and will require approximately $15,000 for the next 12 months as a reporting issuer. We have been investigating the potential to generate any sales by discussing our products locally, without success and we have been discussing with potential investors for injection of working capital.
Although we have no plans to change our planned business activities or to combine with another business, and we are not aware of any events or circumstances that might cause these plans to change, we may have to review any potential that is presented to us.
Investors should be aware that our independent auditors have issued an audit opinion which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. This means that our auditors believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next 12 months. Our auditor's opinion is based on our suffering initial losses, having limited operations, and having limited working capital. Our only source for cash at this time is investments or loans by others in our Company. However, we do not have any written agreements in place for any investments or loans from third parties. We must raise cash to implement our projects and expand our operations.
5
Since we became a reporting company, we are responsible for filing various forms with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) such as Form 10-K and Form 10-Qs. The shareholders may read and copy any material filed by us with the SEC at the SECs Public Reference Room at 100 F Street N.W., Washington, DC, 20549. The shareholders may obtain information on the operations of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information which we have filed electronically with the SEC by assessing the website at the following address: http://www.sec.gov.
Emerging Growth Company Status
Because we generated less than $1 billion in total annual gross revenues during our most recently completed fiscal year, we qualify as an "emerging growth company" under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups ("JOBS") Act.
We will lose our emerging growth company status on the earliest occurrence of any of the following events:
1.
on the last day of any fiscal year in which we earn at least $1 billion in total annual gross revenues, which amount is adjusted for inflation every five years;
2.
on the last day of the fiscal year of the issuer following the fifth anniversary of the date of our first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement;
3.
on the date on which we have, during the previous 3-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt; or
4.
the date on which such issuer is deemed to be a `large accelerated filer', as defined in section 240.12b-2 of title 17, Code of Federal Regulations, or any successor thereto.
A "large accelerated filer" is an issuer that, at the end of its fiscal year, meets the following conditions:
1.
it has an aggregate worldwide market value of the voting and non-voting common equity held by its non-affiliates of $700 million or more as of the last business day of the issuer's most recently completed second fiscal quarter;
2.
It has been subject to the requirements of section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Act for a period of at least twelve calendar months; and
3.
It has filed at least one annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Act.
As an emerging growth company, exemptions from the following provisions are available to us:
1.
Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which requires auditor attestation of internal controls;
2.
Section 14A(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which require companies to hold shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation and golden parachute compensation;
3.
Section 14(i) of the Exchange Act (which has not yet been implemented), which requires companies to disclose the relationship between executive compensation actually paid and the financial performance of the company;
4.
Section 953(b)(1) of the Dodd-Frank Act (which has not yet been implemented), which requires companies to disclose the ratio between the annual total compensation of the CEO and the median of the annual total compensation of all employees of the companies; and
5.
The requirement to provide certain other executive compensation disclosure under Item 402 of Regulation S-K. Instead, an emerging growth company must only comply with the more limited provisions of Item 402 applicable to smaller reporting companies, regardless of the issuer's size.
6
Pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act, an emerging growth company may choose to forgo such exemption and instead comply with the requirements that apply to an issuer that is not an emerging growth company. We have elected under this section of the JOBS Act to maintain our status as an emerging growth company and take advantage of the JOBS Act provisions relating to complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act.
Item 1A Risk Factors
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
None
Item 2 Properties
We do not own or rent facilities of any kind. We plan to conduct our operations from the office of our President who provides this space to us free of charge. We expect to continue to be able to use the office of our President without charge until the business is profitable and operations warrant renting a larger space in a commercial building.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to us.

Item 5. Market for Registrants Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Our common shares are issued in registered form. Globex Transfer, LLC, 780 Deltona Blvd., Suite 202, Deltona, FL 32725 is our stock transfer agent. They can be contacted by telephone at (813)-344-4490 and by facsimile at (386-267-3124).
Market Information
On November 3, 2014, our shares were listed for trading on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board (OTCBB). The symbol is ASYP There has been no trading of our securities, and, therefore, no high and low bid pricing.
The Company became a reporting company on March 11, 2014 after we had filed a prospectus that relates to the offering of a total of 5,000,000 shares of our common stock on a "self-underwritten" basis at a fixed price of $0.01 per share. In May 2014, we completed the sale of 5,000,000 common shares at the price of a $0.01 per share for total proceeds of $50,000.
As of December 10, 2015, the shareholders' list of our common shares showed 32 registered shareholder holding 10,000,000 shares; there are no shares held by broker-dealers. 5,000,000 shares are owned by our officer and director, and may only be resold in compliance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933.
7
Our stock is listed on the OTCBB. The OTCBB is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last sale prices and volume information in over-the-counter (OTC) securities. The OTCBB is not an issuer listing service, market or exchange. Although the OTCBB does not have any listing requirements, as such, to be eligible for quotation on the OTCBB, issuers must remain current in their filings with the SEC or applicable regulatory authority. Market Makers are not permitted to begin quotation of a security whose issuer does not meet this filing requirement. Securities already quoted on the OTCBB that become delinquent in their required filings will be removed following a 30 or 60 day grace period if they do not make their required filing during that time.
Holders
As at the date of this report, we have 32 shareholders. Each shareholder of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Holders of our common stock representing a majority of the voting power of our capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of our stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation.
Although there are no provisions in our charter or by-laws that may delay, defer or prevent a change in control, we are authorized, without shareholder approval, to issue shares of preferred stock that may contain rights or restrictions that could have this effect.
Dividends
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on its common stock.
Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans
We do not have any equity compensation plans and accordingly we have no securities authorized for issuance hereunder.
Purchases of equity securities by the Issuer and affiliated purchasers
There were no shares of common stock or other securities issued to the issuer or affiliated purchasers during the year ended October 31, 2015.
Penny Stock
The Company's common stock is considered a "penny stock" as defined in the Commission's rules promulgated under the Exchange Act (the Rules). The Commission's rules regarding penny stocks impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally persons with net worth in excess of $1,000,000, exclusive of their residence, or an annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse). For transactions covered by the rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Thus the Rules affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company's shares should they wish to do so because of the adverse effect that the Rules have upon liquidity of penny stocks. Unless the transaction is exempt under the Rules, under the Securities Enforcement Remedies and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990, broker-dealers effecting customer transactions in penny stocks are required to provide their customers with (i) a risk disclosure document; (ii) disclosure of current bid and ask quotations if any; (iii) disclosure of the compensation of the broker-dealer and its sales personnel in the transaction; and (iv) monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. As a result of the penny stock rules, the market liquidity for the Company's securities may be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company's securities and the ability of purchasers of the securities to resell them.
8
Section Rule 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
The Company's shares are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended that imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses). For transactions covered by the Rule, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase and have received the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the Rule may affect the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities and also may affect your ability to sell your shares in the secondary market.
Section 15(g) also imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny securities. These rules require a one page summary of certain essential items. The items include the risk of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary marketing; terms important to in understanding of the function of the penny stock market, such as "bid" and "offer" quotes, a dealers "spread" and broker/dealer compensation; the broker/dealer compensation, the broker/dealers duties to its customers, including the disclosures required by any other penny stock disclosure rules; the customers rights and remedies in causes of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, FINRA's toll free telephone number and the central number of the North American Administrators Association, for information on the disciplinary history of broker/dealers and their associated persons.

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
We are a company without revenues or operations. We have minimal assets and have incurred losses since inception. Our limited start-up operations have consisted of the formation of our business plan and identification of our target market.
Because we have not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated, our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that our auditors believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital.
9
We believe that we will have to raise further to begin operations and we cannot assure you that we will stay in business after our operations have commenced. If we are unable to successfully negotiate strategic alliances with purveyors of services to enable us to offer these services to our clients, or if we are unable to attract enough clients to utilize our services, we may quickly use up the proceeds from this offering and will need to find alternative sources, like a second public offering, a private placement of securities, or loans from our officer or others in order for us to maintain our operations. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash, other than through this offering.
Our administrative offices are currently located at the premises of our President, Shabbir Shaikh, who provides such space to us on a rent-free basis. We plan to use these offices until we require larger space.
Revenue
We have not earned any revenues since our inception.
Expenses
Our operating expenses for the year ended October 31, 2015 and 2014 are outlined in the table below:
|
| Year Ended October 31, 2015 |
| Year Ended October 31, 2014 | ||
Professional fees |

General and Administration fees |
|
| 5,575 |
|
| 17,174 |
Total |
| $ | 27,234 |
| $ | 42,381 |
Results of Operations
We did not earn any revenues for the year ended October 31, 2015 or 2014. We do not expect to realize any revenues until we are able to secure additional funds and execute our business plan. Since inception, we sold 10,000,000 shares of common stock total proceeds of $75,000.
For the year ended October 31, 2015, we have incurred total operating expenses in the amount of $27,234 which comprises of professional audit fees and legal fees totaling $21,659 and general and administrative expenses totaling $5,575.
For the year ended October 31, 2014, we have incurred total operating expenses in the amount of $42,381 which comprises of professional audit fees and legal fees totaling $25,207 and general and administrative expenses totaling $17,174 which mainly relates to transfer agent fees and travel for completion of the offering of $50,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash balance at October 31, 2015 was $4,265. During the year ended October 31, 2015, we did not raise any funds from sale of shares. If additional funds become required before generation of revenue, the additional funding may come from equity financing from the sale of our common stock or loan from the directors or their associates.
Our future financial results are also uncertain due to a number of factors, some of which are outside our control. These factors include, but are not limited to:
·
our ability to raise additional funding;
·
cost of development of our website;
·
interest by online users to purchase our products which will generate revenue from online sales.
Due to our lack of operating history and present inability to generate revenues, our auditors have stated their opinion that there currently exists a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
10
The detailed analysis of the risk factors is disclosed our Companys registration statement Form S-1 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Future Financings
At our present, we do require additional financing in order to enable us to proceed with our plan of operations.
There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due. We are pursuing various alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements.
We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to fund our business operations and / or loans from our directors and their associates. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned business activities.
Our auditor has issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we generate sufficient revenues. There is no assurance we will ever reach that point. In the meantime the continuation of the Company is dependent upon the continued financial support from our shareholders, our ability to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations and the attainment of profitable operations.
Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Contractual Obligations
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations.
Going Concern Consideration
The report of our independent registered public accounting firm raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern based on the absence of an established source of revenue, recurring losses from operations, and our need for additional financing in order to fund our operations in 2016.
Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Risk Factors section of our 2014 Form S-1/A, includes a detailed discussion of these factors which have not changed materially from those included in this Form 10-K.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Forward Looking Statements

11

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.

If the Indian rupee were to depreciate against the U.S. dollar, amounts reported in U.S. dollars would be correspondingly reduced. If the Indian rupee were to appreciate against the U.S. dollar, amounts reported in U.S. dollars would be correspondingly increased.

As of October 31, 2015, the year-end period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and the principal financial officer (our president), we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officer, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms relating to our company, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, for the Company.
Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of its management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect material misstatements. In addition, effective internal control at a point in time may become ineffective in future periods because of changes in conditions or due to deterioration in the degree of compliance with our established policies and procedures.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in there being a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our president, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as of October 31, 2015, based on the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our evaluation under this framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the evaluation date due to the factors stated below.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of evaluation date and identified the following material weaknesses:
INSUFFICIENT RESOURCES: We have an inadequate number of personnel with requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting.
INADEQUATE SEGREGATION OF DUTIES: We have an inadequate number of personnel to properly implement control procedures.
LACK OF AUDIT COMMITTEE & OUTSIDE DIRECTORS ON THE COMPANY'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS: We do not have a functioning audit committee or outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.
13
Management is committed to improving its internal controls and will (1) continue to use third party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist the Company with accounting and finance responsibilities, (2) increase the frequency of independent reconciliations of significant accounts which will mitigate the lack of segregation of duties until there are sufficient personnel and (3) may consider appointing outside directors and audit committee members in the future.
Management, including our president, has discussed the material weakness noted above with our independent registered public accounting firm. Due to the nature of this material weakness, there is a more than remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to the annual or interim financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that was conducted during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by a management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also 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; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Item 9B. Other Information
No items required to be reported on Form 8-K during the fourth quarter ended October 31, 2015 covered by this report were not previously reported on Form 8-K.

No executive officer or director of the corporation has been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations) or is the subject of a criminal proceeding which is currently pending.
Business Experience
The following is a brief account of the education and business experience during at least the past five years of our director, executive officer and key employee of our company, indicating the his principal occupation during that period, and the name and principal business of the organization in which such occupation and employment were carried out.
Shabbir Shaikh has been our President, Secretary, Treasurer and a Director since our inception on September 26, 2013. Mr. Shaikh obtained his Bachelor of Commerce degree in 1991 from Akbar Peerbody College of Mumbai. From 2005 to present, Mr. Shaikh works Treasurer and CFO for Green Filed Forex (Pvt) Ltd., a firm involved in foreign exchange and transfers. Previously from 1991 to 1999, Mr. Shaikh worked as an accountant for a CA (CPA) firm as computer operator and tax filer; and from 1999 to 2005, Mr. Shaikh worked as an accountant/controller for an investment company.
Mr. Shaikh reads and speaks English, Hindi and Marathi fluently. Management believes that Mr. Shaikh understanding of the English language, his familiarity with Indian culture and his business background will enable his to establish the Companys website and deal with a myriad of issues involving customer service.
15
Mr. Shaikhs currently spends up to two hours a week on the operations of our company and he has indicated that he is willing to spend more time with the business as it grows and his services are needed. We anticipate that he will eventually be required to spend about 20 hours a week on matters relating to our business, but Mr. Shaikh will retain services of staff for handling and shipping.
Asiya Shaikh (spouse of our president, Mr. Shabbir Shaikh) has been a member of the Board of Directors since our inception on September 26, 2013. From 2007 to present, Ms. Shaikh has managed Royal Clothing and Jewelry Store, a clothing and jewelry retail establishment, where she is responsible for the daily operation of the store including product ordering, pricing, inventory control, staffing, advertising, cash and banking activities, among others.
Ms. Shaikh reads and speaks English and Hindi fluently. Management believes that Ms. Shaikhs knowledge of the English language, her familiarity with Indian culture and her background in retail sales will assist the Company in establishing and maintaining its presence in the industry.
The specific experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that led to the conclusion that Mr. and Mrs. Shaikh serve as our directors were: their business experience in the financial reporting and retail industry; their ability to work with staff and consultants with appropriate skills; their negotiation skills which will be utilized in the future for leasing premises and purchasing jewelry; his computer technology skills and their ability to read and speak English and Hindi fluently.
Neither Mr. Shaikh nor Ms. Shaikh are officers or directors of any reporting company that files annual, quarterly, or periodic reports with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
Board Composition
Our Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors shall consist of at least one member, and that our shareholders shall determine the number of directors from time to time. Each director serves for a term that expires until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified, or until his earlier resignation, removal from office, or death.
Committees of the Board of Directors
We do not presently have a separately constituted audit committee, compensation committee, nominating committee, executive committee or any other committees of our Board of Directors. Nor do we have an audit committee financial expert. As such, our entire Board of Directors acts as our audit committee and handles matters related to compensation and nominations of directors.
Potential Conflicts of Interest
Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our directors. Thus, there is an inherent conflict of interest.
Director Independence
We are not subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or national securities association and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our board comprised of a majority of independent directors. Our determination of independence of directors is made using the definition of independent director contained in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Marketplace Rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market (NASDAQ), even though such definitions do not currently apply to us because we are not listed on NASDAQ. We have determined that our directors do not currently meet the definition of independent as within the meaning of such rules as a result of his current position as our executive officer and directors.
Significant Employees
We have no significant employees other than the sole executive officer described above.
16
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
No director, person nominated to become a director, executive officer, promoter or control person of our company has, during the last ten years: (i) been convicted in or is currently subject to a pending a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to any federal or state securities or banking or commodities laws including, without limitation, in any way limiting involvement in any business activity, or finding any violation with respect to such law, nor (iii) any bankruptcy petition been filed by or against the business of which such person was an executive officer or a general partner, whether at the time of the bankruptcy or for the two years prior thereto.
Stockholder Communications with the Board
We have not implemented a formal policy or procedure by which our stockholders can communicate directly with our Board of Directors. Nevertheless, every effort will be made to ensure that the views of stockholders are heard by the Board of Directors, and that appropriate responses are provided to stockholders in a timely manner. During the upcoming year, our Board will continue to monitor whether it would be appropriate to adopt such a process.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
During the past five years, none of our officers, directors, promoters or control persons have had any of the following events occur:
·
a bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
·
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 substantially reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking business; and/or
·
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.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of our common stock and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a formal written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Compliance Program for all officers, directors and senior employees.
Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert Disclosure
The Companys Board of Directors does not have a separately designated audit committee or an audit committee financial expert. Audit committee functions are performed by our Board of Directors. None of our directors is deemed independent. All directors also hold positions as our officers. Our audit committee is responsible for: (1) selection and oversight of our independent accountant; (2) establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal controls, and auditing matters; (3) establishing procedures for the confidential, anonymous submission by our employees of concerns regarding accounting and auditing matters; (4) engaging outside advisors; and, (5) funding for the outside auditory and any outside advisors engagement by the audit committee.
17
The Board of Directors does not have an audit committee financial expert at this time due to the fact that the Company has only limited operations and no revenues. We believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Further, because of our limited operations, we believe the services of a financial expert are not warranted.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
On October 26, 2013, we issued an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of our common stock to our sole officer and director for aggregate consideration of $25,000.
The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock, as of the date of this report, for our director. There is no other person or group of affiliated persons, known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our common stock. The shareholders listed below have direct ownership of their shares and possess sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares. We do not have any outstanding options, warrants or other securities exercisable for or convertible into shares of our common stock.
Name and Address of Beneficial Owner | No. of Common Stock | Percentage of Ownership |
Shabbir Shaikh H. 2434, Tengengar Galli, Belgaum, Karnataka, India | 4,000,000 | 40.0% |
Asiya Shaikh H. 2434, Tengengar Galli, Belgaum, Karnataka, India | 1,000,000 | 10.0% |
Officer and/or director as group | 5,000,000 | 50.0% |
Beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person's actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding as of the date of this report. As of the date of this report, there were 10,000,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, 5,000,000 shares being held by directors.
Future Sales by existing shareholders
As of October 31, 2015, a total of 4,000,000 shares have been issued to Shabbir Shaikh, an officer/director, and a total of 1,000,000 shares have been issued to Asiya Shaikh, a director , and are restricted securities, as that term is defined in Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Act. Under Rule 144, such shares can be publicly sold, subject to volume restrictions and certain restrictions on the manner of sale, commencing six months after their acquisition.
19
Rule 144(i)(1) states that the Rule 144 safe harbor is not available for the resale of securities "initially issued" by a shell company (other than a business combination related shell company) or an issuer that has "at any time previously" been a shell company (other than a business combination related shell company). Consequently, the Rule 144 safe harbor is not available for the resale of such securities unless and until all of the conditions in Rule 144(i)(2) are satisfied at the time of the proposed sale.
Any sale of shares held by the existing stockholder (after applicable restrictions expire) may have a depressive effect on the price of our common stock in any market that may develop, of which there can be no assurance. Our principal shareholder does not have any plans to sell his shares at this time.
Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Except as disclosed herein, no director, executive officer, shareholder holding at least 5% of shares of our common stock, or any family member thereof, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or proposed transaction since the year ended October 31, 2015, in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at the year-end for the last three completed fiscal years.
We do not currently have any conflicts of interest by or among our current officer, director, key employee or advisors. We have not yet formulated a policy for handling conflicts of interest; however, we intend to do so prior to hiring any additional employees.
Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services
The aggregate fees billed for the most recently completed fiscal year ended October 31, 2015 and for period year ended October 31, 2014 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows:
| Period Ended | |
| October 31 2015 | October 31, 2014 |
Audit Fees | $ 9,500 | $ 11,300 |
Audit Related Fees | Nil | Nil |
Tax Fees | Nil | Nil |
All Other Fees | Nil | Nil |
Total | $ 9,500 | $ 11,300 |
Audit Fees: The aggregate fees billed by the independent accountants for the last two fiscal years are for professional services for the audit of our annual financial statements and the review of our Form 10-Q and other services that are normally provided by the accountants in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.
Audit-Related Fees: The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review for the audit or review of our annual financial statements and the review of financial statements and are not reported under the previous item, Audit Fees, was nil.
Tax Fees: During the last two fiscal years there were no other fees charged by the principal accountants other than those disclosed above.
All Other Fees: During the last two fiscal years there were no other fees charged by the principal accountants other than those disclosed above.
Our board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our independent auditors and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining our independent auditors independence.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Asiya Pearls, Inc.
Belgaum, Karnataka, India
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Asiya Pearls, Inc. (the Company) as of October 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended October 31, 2015. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Asiya Pearls, Inc. as of October 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended October 31, 2015 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company's absence of significant revenues, recurring losses from operations, and its need for additional financing in order to fund its projected loss in 2016 raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The 2015 financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
October 31, 2015 and 2014
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Asiya Pearls, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Nevada on September 26, 2013 ("Inception").The Company intends to operate as an on-line imitation jewelry retailer. The Company's corporate headquarters are located in Belgaum, India and its fiscal year-end is October 31.
The Company is a development stage company as defined under the current Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 915-205 Development-Stage Entities and among the additional disclosures required as a development stage company are that the financial statements were identified as those of a development stage company, and that the statement of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows disclosed activity since the date of our Inception (September 26, 2013) as a development stage company. Effective June 10, 2014, FASB changed its regulations with respect to Development Stage Entities and these additional disclosures are no longer required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 with the option for entities to early adopt these new provisions. The Company has elected to early adopt these provisions and consequently these additional disclosures are not included in these financial statements.
Although the Company is operational, it has not generated any revenue and is currently seeking additional funding to sustain its operations.
The Companys activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties including failure to secure additional funding to properly execute the Companys business plan.
2. GOING CONCERN
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred a loss since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $70,735 as of October 31, 2015 and have yet to earned revenues, further raising substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In addition to operational expenses, as the Company executes its business plan, it is incurring expenses related to complying with its public reporting requirements. The Company will need to raise capital in the next twelve months in order to remain in business. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand and proceeds from its public offering. The Company has no written or verbal commitments from stockholders, directors or officers to provide the Company with any form of cash advances, loans or other sources of liquidity to meet its working capital needs. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Due to the limited level of operations, the Company has not had to make material assumptions or estimates other than the assumption that the Company is a going concern.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at one financial institution that is insured by the FDIC. As at October 31, 2015, the Company had $4,265 in cash.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The Company does not utilize derivative instruments.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company's functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Average monthly rates are used to translate expenses. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the year. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of net income (loss). The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Intellectual Properties
The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 350-50, Website Development Costs. Costs incurred in the planning stage of a website are expensed as research and development while costs incurred in the development stage are capitalized and amortized over the life of the asset, estimated to be five years. Expenses subsequent to the launch will be expensed as research and development expenses. The Company will expense upgrades and revisions to its website as incurred. The Company has incurred no costs for research and development. Once the Companys website is fully operational, this asset will be amortized over a sixty month period.
Revenue
The Company's revenues will be derived principally by the sale of its website products. The Company has generated no revenues to date. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned less estimated future doubtful accounts. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when it has persuasive evidence of an arrangement that the services have been rendered to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options and warrants using the treasury method. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Income Taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax balances. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment.
At October 31, 2015 a full deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been provided and no deferred tax asset benefit has been recorded.
Recently Adopted and Recently Enacted Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its EITF), the AICPA, and the SEC and believes that none of them will a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.

The Company's officer and director is involved in other business activities and may in the future, become involved in other business opportunities as they become available. Thus he may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and his other business interests. The Company has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.
6. INCOME TAXES
As of October 31, 2015, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $70,700 that may be available to reduce future years' taxable income through 2035.
