PART I
Principal Place of Business
Our principal offices are located at 7394 Trade Street, San Diego, California 92121.
Company Overview
We were incorporated as “Queensridge Mining Resources, Inc.” on January 29, 2010, in the State of Nevada for the purpose of engaging in mineral exploration. On July 21, 2014, we entered into a Merger Agreement with iWallet Corporation, a private California corporation, whereby we acquired all of the issued and outstanding common stock of iWallet Corporation through a subsidiary. Following this merger, we merged the subsidiary with and into our corporation, and changed our name to “iWallet Corp.” (‘iWallet”) as part of that process. As a result of entering into the Merger Agreement, we are in the business of designing and developing biometric locking cases and related physical, personal security products.
Description of Business
We are a designer and developer of innovative, physical, personal security products that incorporate the latest security and communication technologies to protect against identity, personal and financial information theft. iWallet is a registered trademark in the United States. Our flagship product is a biometric locking luxury storage case that protects cash, credit cards and personal information with a proprietary fingerprint security system. The iWallet features a carbon fiber which protects credit cards from being read by many types of RF devices in public spaces. Using Bluetooth Smart technology, iWallet owners can tether the iWallet to a supported smart device. A proximity alarm sounds on both devices when separated by about five meters. In addition, GPS tracking capabilities can be achieved through the same Bluetooth Smart technology and the smart phone.
In addition to our retail sales strategy, we also intend to focus on developing and licensing the following new technologies based upon our design and utility patents: biometric touch sensors coupled with Bluetooth Smart technology, Zero Passwords, voice and gesture recognition, and other biometric physical communication through iWallet products. We are working with outside software companies to enhance the firmware in all of our products.
We are based in San Diego, California and our business was originally founded in 2009. The initial version of the iWallet generated sales of over $700,000 in the first eighteen months following it launch. With improved designs and a better manufacturing partner, iWallet is ready to re-launch the product on a larger scale. Established sales channels include Stebis in Belgium, Luxemburg and the Netherlands, the Urban Collection Loyalty program in the U.S., UK and Canada, Peters Of Kensington in Australia, Hontus group, Planet Traveler in the U.S., Vivadi in Latin America, Brentano in the UK, and Gold Tree, LTD in Asia. We have been licensed by Apple Inc. as an official Accessory Developer.
Products and Technology
At this time, we are preparing to re-launch its flagship product and the iWallet 2.0. The suggested retail price will be $499. The new iWallets have the following features:
• | Sleek, compact industrial design with carbon fiber case | |
• | Pairs with the owner’s cellular phone via Bluetooth Smart technology | |
• | Patented, exclusive tamper resistant locking mechanism utilizes innovative fingerprint biometric reader for unlocking | |
• | Unique latch control that only consumes power during latching hence providing extended battery life | |
• | RFID blocking capability for enhanced wireless protection | |
• | Speaker providing audible feedback | |
• | GPS tracking capabilities through the user’s smart phone |
Over the course of the next twelve months, we intend to bring the following additional products to market:
• | Storage devices with co-branding luxury partners | |
• | A secure passport case called the iPassport | |
• | A women’s iWallet version | |
• | A secure mobile personal safe in which to store pharmaceuticals | |
• | A smart “padlock” with a biometric reader for gym lockers and other personal areas that require security |

We hold over twenty patents and patent applications filed in various countries around the world. Our products are currently manufactured under contract by a manufacturer based in Zhuhai, China, Apollo Electronics. The suppliers for our raw materials are currently Future Electronics, Namiki Motors, Cotech Taiwan, Digital Persona, Avnet Electronics, Avnet Taiwan, and Apollo Electronics. Historically, our largest major customer has been Neiman Marcus, which has been the source of approximately 51% of our gross revenues over the past year. As we expand our sales and distribution channels, we expect that our customer base will diversify and that, in the future, our revenues will not be dependent upon one or a few major customers.
We hold both utility and design patents and patent applications. All of our current utility patents will remain in effect until September 14, 2027. The duration of our design patents varies by country. The expiration dates of our current design patents, by country, is as follows:
Canada | June 10, 2023 |
Europe | December 9, 2036 |
China | December 12, 2021 |
Japan | May 18, 2032 |
Russia | December 13, 2036 |
Singapore | December 9, 2026 |
Taiwan | December 9, 2023 |
Market and Competition Overview
Our primary target demographic will be consumers who are in the market for luxury secure storage cases and similar accessories. We do not believe that the $500 approximate retail price to the end user will be an obstacle for our initial target demographic. The carbon fiber process is labor intensive to manufacture. High net worth individuals appreciate the advantages of carbon fiber construction and spend tens of thousands of dollars outfitting their automobiles and other accessories with this material.
A comparison of the iWallet to the leather or canvas sure storage accessories currently offered by several major fashion designers is below:
Brand | Model | Price | Material | Bluetooth (Anti-theft/loss) | Fingerprint Reader | RFID Anti-Theft | Owner Access Only | |||||||||||||
Cartier | Santos de Cartier | $ | 380 | Leather | No | No | No | No | ||||||||||||
Salvatore Ferragamo | Bifold | $ | 350 | Leather | No | No | No | No | ||||||||||||
Louis Vuitton | Classic | $ | 565 | Canvas | No | No | No | No | ||||||||||||
Gucci | Bifold | $ | 550 | Canvas | No | No | No | No | ||||||||||||
iWallet | Slim | $ | 529 | Carbon Fiber | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
We believe the security, high technology, slim design, and carbon fiber construction of the iWallet product offerings can position it to compete for a share of the luxury secure accessories market.
Sales, Distribution and Growth Strategy
Our plan for marketing and raising awareness for the iWallet includes the following strategies:
• | Sell and market at major trade shows that attract global buyers such as the CES. | |
• | Align iWallet with high profile celebrities, bloggers, etc. for product validation. | |
• | Optimize the company’s e-commerce strategy through a multi-lingual program which allows the customer to communicate in over 70 different languages. | |
• | Continue worldwide media attention, primarily from BBC Worldwide, Fox News (Fox and Friends), Discovery Channel. | |
• | Establish a global distribution network for the retail, incentive, and loyalty markets |
4 |
Our established distribution channels for the iWallet, as originally launched, include the following:
• | Neiman Marcus in North America |
• | Stebis in Belgium, Luxemburg and Netherlands |
• | Urban Collection Loyalty program in US, UK and Canada | |
• | Peters of Kensington’s in Australia | |
• | Hontus Group/Planet Traveler in US (co-branded) | |
• | Vivadi in Latin America | |
• | Oak Incentives in Canada | |
• | Brentano in UK | |
• | Gold Tree, LTD in Asia |
The following are current prospective sales channels:
• | Co-branding for Dunhill and Ducati as well as other potential luxury partners. We are currently in partnering or licensing discussions with these companies. |
• | TUMI |
• | Brookstone |
• | Dept. of Justice |
• | Internal Revenue Service |
We plan to increase our consumer off take within newly gained distribution at major regional high-end department stores, luxury specialty stores, and to expand to private brand stores. Together with our distribution partners, we are targeting major national retail channels. We believe a partnership with any one leading national chain would be transformative. We intend to develop our website towards wider market accessibility through links to other major potential purchasers. We will continue to be featured in ingadget.com and gizmodo.com, where the iWallet has been dubbed “The Fort Knox of Wallets.” We will also begin limited selling efforts in key international markets using further regional distributors in Europe, Asia, Canada, Australia, and South America. We are also in discussions with distribution companies in key opportunity geographies.
Employees
In addition to our named executive officers, we also employ a Project Manager, an in-house bookkeeper, and an outside comptroller that serves on a part time basis.
Environmental Laws
We have not incurred and do not anticipate incurring any expenses associated with environmental laws.
Our corporate headquarters are currently located in San Diego, California. We current lease approximately 3,000 square feet of space for $2,500 per month with a lease for one year that began on June 1, 2014.
We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings. We are not aware of any pending legal proceeding to which any of our officers, directors, or any beneficial holders of 5% or more of our voting securities are adverse to us or have a material interest adverse to us.
Our agent for service of process in Nevada is Clark Agency, LLC, 3273 East Warm Springs Rd., Las Vegas, NV 89120.

Penny Stock
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our securities.

Holders of Our Common Stock
As of March 26, 2015, we had 33,919,419 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, held by fifty-eight (58) shareholders of record.
Dividends
There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:
1. | we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or; |
2. | our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution. |
We have not declared any dividends and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
• | In connection with our reverse merger on July 21, 2014, the previous shareholders of iWallet Corporation, a private California corporation, received 10,000,000 shares of our common stock.

The gross proceeds from the offering, prior to the deduction of agreed selling commissions and expenses, were $1,943,701. Net of broker’s commissions and expenses, we received net proceeds of $1,734,676. A total of forty (40) investors subscribed in the offering. |

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse affect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.
Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Our total sales revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $154,647. After cost of sales in the amount of $121,811, we recorded a gross profit of $32,836. Our expenses for the year ended December 31, 2014 were 2,457,112 and consisted of legal and professional fees of $805,181, share based compensation of $629,735, salaries and wages of $293,483, debt discount accretion of $289,991, office and general expenses of $231,597, research and development of $151,245, travel expense of $34,940, rent of $19,500, interest and finance charges of $14,917, amortization of intangible assets of $11,993, and positive recovery of a tooling commitment in the amount of $25,470. Our charge for share-based compensation represents the amount expensed in 2014 for shares of common stock issued to our CEO as compensation. The charge for debt discount accretion relates to the automatic conversion of certain convertible debentures to shares of common stock concurrently with our reverse merger in July of 2014. Note 8 to our financial statements should be reviewed for further information on this item. Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $2,424,276.
By comparison, our sales for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $85,769. After cost of sales of $63,585, we recorded a gross profit of $22,184. Our total expenses for the year ended December 31, 2014 were $253,352 and we recorded a provision for income taxes of $4,247, resulting in a net loss of $226,921.
Our sales for the year ended December 31, 2014 were higher than last year due to our launch of the iWallet 2.0 and increased sales and marketing efforts. Our expenses and net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014 were larger than last year primarily due to increased professional fees related to our becoming a public company, charges for stock based compensation to executives, and increased operating expenses as we have begun to expand our operations and increase our marketing efforts.
In order to significantly increase our revenue base and achieve profitability we will need to, among other matters, significantly increase our customer base and our distribution channels. We cannot assure you that we will be able to increase our revenue in this manner and achieve profitability on a consistent basis. As we expect to continue to invest in the development of our business, this investment could outpace growth in our revenue, and thereby impair our ability to achieve and maintain profitability in the near future.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2014, we had current assets of $958,613, consisting of cash in the amount of $465,847, funds held in attorney trust of $20,000, deposits and deferred costs of $211,534, inventory of $138,819, a loan due from a shareholder of $114,349, and accounts receivable of $8,064. Our current liabilities as of December 31, 2014 were $330,311, and consisted of the current portion of long term bank debt in the amount of $4,347, accounts payable of $235,391, accrued liabilities of $45,916, amounts due to a related party of $3,030, advances from an investor of $474, and a liability for a manufacturer tooling commitment of $41,153. Our working capital as of December 31, 2014 was therefore $628,302.
In the months prior to our reverse merger in July of 2014, we engaged in a bridge financing transaction raising a total $663,000 through the sale of secured convertible promissory notes. Concurrent with the closing of the merger, these notes converted to 3,222,120 shares of common stock and 3,222,120 warrants to purchase shares of common stock at a price of $0.20, exercisable for two years.
Our bank indebtedness consists of a line of credit with a limit of $35,000, secured by cash on deposit in a checking account. The line bears interest at a rate of prime plus 1.25%. As of December 31, 2014, the balance owed was $18,111.
Immediately upon closing of our reverse merger in July of 2014, we closed a private offering of Units at a price of $0.30 per Unit, each Unit consisting of one (1) share of common stock and one (1) warrant to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $0.60 per share, exercisable for two (2) years. A total of 6,479,002 shares of common stock and 6,479,002 warrants were issued to subscribers in the offering. The gross proceeds from the offering, prior to the deduction of agreed selling commissions and expenses, were $1,943,701. Net of broker’s commissions and expenses, we received net proceeds of $1,734,676.
As a result of the funds obtained through the offering, we believe that we have sufficient capital to execute our business development plan for the current year. In order to continue our growth and development plan over the longer term, however, we will require additional financing. Management is currently seeking additional equity financing in order to fund the long term development of the company. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funding, either through increased sales and debt and/or other equity financing arrangements. If we are not able to secure significant additional funding, the long term implementation of our business plan will be impaired. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2014, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.
Going Concern
The financial statements included in this annual report have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Critical Accounting Policies
In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management does not believe that any of our accounting policies currently fit this definition.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed all new accounting pronouncements and, except as set forth below, do not expect any new pronouncements or guidance to have an impact on our results of operations or financial position:
1. On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The accounting standard is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. The impact on the financial statements of adopting ASU 2014-09 will be assessed by management.
2. On August 27, 2014, the FASB issued a new financial accounting standard on going concern, ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Sub-Topic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” The standard provides guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is a substantial doubt about the organization’s ability to continue as a going concern. The amendments in this Update apply to all companies. They become effective in the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, with early application permitted. The impact on the financial statements of adopting ASU 2014-15 will be assessed by management.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board or Directors and Shareholders of iWallet Corp
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of iWallet Corp as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholder's (deficiency) equity and cash flows for the years then ended. iWallet Corp’s management is responsible for these financial statements. 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. iWallet Corp 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 iWallet Corp’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of iWallet Corp as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1, the Company has experienced negative cash flows from operations since inception and has accumulated a significant deficit which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not nclude any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2014 and 2013
1. Nature of Business and Going Concern
iWallet Corp (“the Company”) is engaged in the design, development, manufacturing and sales of bio-metric locking wallets, which operate by scanning a user’s fingerprint to open the wallet.
iWallet Corporation (“iWallet”) was incorporated on November 18, 2009 in the State of California and is located at 7394 Trade Street, San Diego, California 92121. On July 21, 2014 the Company merged with iWallet Acquisition Corporation (the “Acquisition Sub”) (“the Merger”), a subsidiary formed by Queensridge Mining Resources, Inc. (“Queensridge”) for purposes of the Merger, which resulted in the Company becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Queensridge. Immediately following the merger the Acquisition Sub merged with and into Queensridge. Queensridge immediately changed its name to iWallet Corp and is continuing the business of iWallet as its only line of business.
The Company began trading on July 21, 2014 in the United States of America (“USA”) on the OTCQB Exchange under the ticker symbol IWAL.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (‘U.S. GAAP’), which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern.
As of December 31, 2014, the Company has a deficit of $2,647,088 (2013 - $222,812) and has significant losses and negative cash flows from operations. The Company completed a public listing transaction which raised additional funds and includes warrant agreements which may provide additional funds. However, there is no certainty that the Company will be successful in generating sufficient cash flow from operations or achieving and maintaining profitable operations in the near future to enable it to meet its obligations as they come due. As a result there is substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon achieving profitable operations.
Management has raised additional capital through private placement offerings and has plans to raise funds through public offering of its capital stock. While the Company has been successful in securing such financing in the past, there is no assurance that it will be able to do so in the future. Accordingly, these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments, relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of the recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. All adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, considered necessary for fair presentation have been included in these financial statements.

2. Significant Accounting Policies
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include amounts for inventory valuation, useful lives of patents, trademarks, software and website development costs and the warranty provision.
Allowance for doubtful account
The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business but mitigates the associated credit risk by performing credit checks and actively pursuing past due accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated and recorded based on management’s assessment of the credit history with the customer and the current relationships with them. On this basis management has determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts of $nil was appropriate as of both December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market determined using the first-in, first-out method. Inventory is periodically reviewed for use and obsolescence, and adjusted as necessary. Inventory consists of raw materials, finished goods and goods-in-transit.
Intangible assets
Patents and trademarks are measured at cost. Legal fees associated with patents and trademarks, which are expected to be issued, are recorded as patents and trademarks on the balance sheets. Upon approval by the relevant patent office, the patents and trademarks are amortized over their respective expected lives. Patent and trademark costs associated with patents or trademarks which are not approved or are abandoned, are expensed in the period in which such patents are not approved.
The Company is expects to maintain patents for up to 20 years from the effective date and the trademark registrations for as long as the trademarks remain in use and the required filings are made to keep them in use. However, based on the Company's assessment of potential innovation or other competing technological developments a useful life of ten years has been assessed for both the patents and the trademarks.
Software consists of costs relating to the development of the software behind the biometric scanning and the other security programs involved in the wallets. Costs relating to the development of this software are capitalized and amortized over its estimated useful life of ten years.
Website development costs relating to website and mobile application and software development are also capitalized and amortized over its estimated useful life of three years.
Topic 350-20, Goodwill, and 350-30, General Intangibles Other than Goodwill, in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) requires intangible assets with a finite life be tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated discounted cash flow used in determining the fair value of the asset.
F-7 |
2. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Fair value of financial instruments
ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Included in the ASC Topic 820 framework is a three level valuation inputs hierarchy with Level 1 being inputs and transactions that can be effectively fully observed by market participants spanning to Level 3 where estimates are unobservable by market participants outside of the Company and must be estimated using assumptions developed by the Company. The Company discloses the lowest level input significant to each category of asset or liability valued within the scope of ASC Topic 820 and the valuation method as exchange, income or use. The Company uses inputs which are as observable as possible and the methods most applicable to the specific situation of each company or valued item.
The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, due from shareholder, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, bank indebtedness, due to related party, advances from investor, convertible debentures and tooling debt obligation approximate fair value because of their short-term nature. Per ASC Topic 820 framework these are considered Level 2 inputs where inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument might be adversely affected by a change in the interest rates. The bank indebtedness has a variable interest rate, which results in an exposure to interest rate risk resulting from an increase in rates. In seeking to minimize the risks from interest rate fluctuations, the Company manages exposure through its normal operating and financing activities. All other liabilities are non-interest bearing.
Derivative financial instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks.
The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt, equity instruments and other financing arrangements to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. Also, in connection with the issuance of financing instruments, the Company may issue freestanding options or warrants to employees and non-employees in connection with consulting or other services. These options or warrants may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity.
Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. To the extent that the initial fair values of the freestanding and/or bifurcated derivative instrument liabilities exceed the total proceeds received an immediate charge to income is recognized in order to initially record the derivative instrument liabilities at their fair value.
F-8 |
2. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Derivative financial instruments - continued
The discount from the face value of the equity instruments resulting from allocating some or all of the proceeds to the derivative instruments, together with the stated rate of interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income, using the effective interest method.
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. If reclassification is required, the fair value of the derivative instrument, as of the determination date, is reclassified. Any previous charges or credits to income for changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are not reversed. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date.
Revenue recognition
The Company derives revenue primarily from the sale of its wallets. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the amount is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
The Company also derives an insignificant amount of revenue from providing engraving of the wallets. Engraving revenues are recognized concurrent with the revenues for the related wallet.
Earnings/loss per share of common stock
Loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share when their effect is anti-dilutive.
Income taxes
Income taxes are computed in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, which requires, among other things, a liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in its financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company is required to make certain estimates and judgments about the application of tax law, the expected resolution of uncertain tax positions and other matters. In the event that uncertain tax positions are resolved for amounts different than the Company’s estimates, or the related statutes of limitations expire without the assessment of additional income taxes, the Company will be required to adjust the amounts of the related assets and liabilities in the period in which such events occur. Such adjustments may have a material impact on the Company’s income tax provision and results of operations.

Shipping and handling costs
The Company’s shipping and handling costs of $22,408 are included in cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2014 (2013 - $11,122).
Research and development
The Company is engaged in research and development work. Research and development costs are charged as operating expense of the Company as incurred. Any recovery of costs received for research and development work is used to offset these expenditures. For the year ended December 31, 2014 the Company spent $151,245 (2013 - $nil) towards research and development expenses for the new generation of iWallet products and new products to market.
Foreign currency translation
The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. All of the Company’s revenue and materials purchased from suppliers are denominated in, or linked to, the U.S. dollar. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are converted to the functional currency on the transaction date, and any resulting assets or liabilities are further translated at each reporting date and at settlement.
Product warranties
The Company offers a one year warranty on its products, which it provides for based on estimated warranty costs at the time of sale and accrues for specific items at the time their existence is known and the amounts are determinable. The Company estimates warranty costs using standard quantitative measures based on industry warranty claim experience and evaluation of specific customer warranty issues. The Company currently estimates warranty costs as approximately 2% of revenue (2013 – 4%).
Segment reporting
ASC 280-10, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in the Company’s financial statements. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company only operates in one reportable segment; however, required entity-wide information is included in note 15.

3. Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement
On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The accounting standard is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. The impact on the financial statements of adopting ASU 2014-09 will be assessed by management.
On August 27, 2014, the FASB issued a new financial accounting standard on going concern, ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Sub-Topic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” The standard provides guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is a substantial doubt about the organization’s ability to continue as a going concern. The amendments in this Update apply to all companies. They become effective in the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, with early application permitted. The impact on the financial statements of adopting ASU 2014-15 will be assessed by management.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

6. Bank Indebtedness
The bank indebtedness of the Company consists of a secured line of credit with a limit of $35,000 bearing interest at the annual prime rate plus 1.25%, which as at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was 4.5%, and with monthly repayments determined as follows:
a) the greater of:
i) | two percent (2%) of the outstanding principal balance outstanding on the last day of the billing period, or |
ii) | $100, and |
b) accrued interest since the date of the last payment.
On termination of the line of credit, the amount will become due over a period determined by the creditor of between thirty-six and eighty-four months, or over three to seven years, which at the time of the agreement was determined to be forty-eight months, or four years.
The line of credit is subject to various non-financial covenants that would constitute an event of default, notably: ownership change or sale of the business; closure or failure to maintain the related checking account; insolvency or any bankruptcy proceedings; or, any other defaults on other contracts with the creditor or with any other financial institution.

The advances from investor were funds advanced for purposes of covering operating expenses of the Company and $81,000 of these advances were formalized into a convertible debenture during the year (note 8). At December 31, 2013, the investor was also serving as interim Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and accordingly these transactions constitute related party transactions; however, on January 1, 2014 the investor resigned as interim CFO.

7. Related Party Transactions and Balances
For the year-ended December 31, 2014, the Company incurred $188,544 (2013 – $nil) with First Republic Capital Corporation (“FRC”) for agent fees in connection with the private placement and reverse merger transaction. The Executive Vice-President of FRC is also a director of the Company. As at December 31, 2014, the balance owing to FRC was $nil (2013 – $nil).
8. Convertible Debentures
In December of 2013, the Company entered into a series of secured convertible debenture agreements (the “convertible debentures”) with various investors amounting to $354,000, of which $39,705 was held in attorney's trust to fund related closing costs. During fiscal 2014 the Company closed on an additional $309,000 of convertible debentures with the same terms, inclusive of $81,000 of advances from investor formalized into a convertible debenture during the year (note 7), bringing the total convertible debentures outstanding to $663,000. The convertible debentures bear interest at 5% per annum calculated monthly and payable on maturity and had an original maturity date of June 30, 2014. During the year, the Company extended the maturity to August 15, 2014, including the formalization of the advances from investor in note 7.
At the time of issuance there was no beneficial conversion feature since each convertible debenture contains a conversion option contingently exercisable upon the approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission or the TSX Venture Exchange for listing of its common shares. The conversion price is based on the price at which the Company sells or issues common shares or units, less a discount of 30%. A unit would consist of one common stock and one common stock purchase warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.20 and with a term of 24 months. Similarly, the Company has the option to force conversion upon approval of a public listing at the same conversion price.
On July 21, 2014, the Company completed the Transaction and forced conversion of the aggregate of $663,000 Convertible Debentures and $13,645 of accrued interest into 3,222,120 common stock and common stock purchase warrants at an exercise price of $0.20 and with a term of 24 months (see notes 11 and 12).
Upon the occurrence of the public listing, the conversion feature of the Convertible Debenture was “in the money” and was therefore deemed to contain a beneficial conversion feature. The conversion price to the debenture holders was $0.21. The Company measured and immediately recognized the full value of the beneficial conversion feature as debt discount accretion in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss and an adjustment to additional paid-in capital of $289,991.

9. Tooling Commitment Deposit, Deferred Costs and Liability
On May 26, 2011, the Company signed a contract with a supplier under which they are required to pay for tooling costs in addition to their regular purchase orders (the “tooling commitment”). Under the terms of the tooling commitment the Company was required to pay for 30% of the contracted tooling costs upon execution (the “tooling commitment deposit”) and the remaining 70% over the purchase of 5,000 units over a nine month period (the “tooling commitment liability”). If 5,000 units were not purchased within those nine months, then the remaining amount was due within thirty days.
As of February 27, 2012, the Company had not reached the contracted level of purchases and an informal agreement to extend the period was made; however, by December 31, 2012 the Company had not complied and as a result, the entire amount would have been considered due.
On August 24, 2013, the Company entered into a revised agreement with the supplier that extended the term another twelve months to August 24, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, the contract has expired and the tooling commitment of $41,153 is due on demand.
The tooling commitment deposit is included in deposits and deferred costs and is capitalized into inventory as units are purchased based on the 5,000 unit commitment. The tooling commitment liability becomes due and is recognized into accounts payable as units are purchased and the corresponding deferred costs are capitalized into inventory, all of which is based on the 5,000 unit commitment.
During 2013, it was determined that based on the actual sales realized in 2013, the Company would likely not be able to meet the 5,000 unit commitment order. Accordingly, the Company recorded a loss on the tooling commitment based on the shortfall of the expected number of units to be sold in 2014 resulting in a loss of $139,213 in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
During 2014, the actual sales realized in 2014 exceeded the expected sales. As such the Company recognized a recovery on the tooling commitment of $25,470 in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

10. Income Taxes - continued
The Company calculates its income tax expense by estimating the annual effective tax rate and applying that rate to the year-to-date ordinary income at the end of the period. The Company records a tax valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that it will not be able to recover the value of its deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company calculated its estimated annualized effective tax rate at 0% and 0%, respectively. The Company had no income tax expense on its $2,228,793 pre-tax loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. The Company recognized no income tax expense based on its $226,919 pre-tax loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013.
The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company recognizes interest accrued on uncertain tax positions as well as interest received from favorable tax settlements within interest expense. The Company recognizes penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits within general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had no uncertain tax positions.
The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months. In many cases the Company's uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by tax authorities. The following describes the open tax years, by major tax jurisdiction, as of December 31, 2014:

13. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company may be involved in a variety of claims, suits, investigations and proceedings arising from the ordinary course of our business, collections claims, breach of contract claims, labor and employment claims, tax and other matters. Although claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain and their results cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the resolution of current pending matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, results of operations or cash flow. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of legal costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
Warranty Provisions
The Company is also exposed to warranty contingencies associated with the iWallet and has recorded a provision for these for the year ended December 31, 2014 of $6,679 (2013 - $3,062) which is included in accrued liabilities, however, the actual amount of loss could be materially different.
The actual warranty claims for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2014 was $4,023 (2013 - $12,074) which is included in cost of sales.
14. Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

Diluted loss per share and the weighted average number of shares of common stock exclude 10,484,065 potentially dilutive warrants (note 12) and 29,975 shares (note 11(vi)) since their effect is anti-dilutive.
15. Segmented Reporting

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
No events occurred requiring disclosure under Item 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, December 31, 2014. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based upon that evaluation, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As a result of this assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2014, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. Our management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.
We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting. Our disclosure controls and procedures have improved with the addition of new staff. During the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, however, we have not been able to fully remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we hope to implement the following changes: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out in (i) and (ii) are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for non-accelerated filers set forth in Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

Directors
Our bylaws authorize no less than one (1) and no more than twelve (12) directors. We currently have five directors.
All directors hold office for one-year terms until the election and qualification of their successors. Officers are elected by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board.
There are no family relationships between or among the directors, executive officers or persons nominated or chosen by the Company to become directors or executive officers.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships between or among the directors, executive officers or persons nominated or chosen by us to become directors or executive officers.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
To the best of our knowledge, during the past ten years, none of the following occurred with respect to a present or former director, executive officer, or employee: (1) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) being subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his or her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and (4) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.
Committees of the Board
We do not currently have a compensation committee, executive committee, or stock plan committee.
Audit Committee
We do not have a separately-designated standing audit committee. The entire Board of Directors performs the functions of an audit committee, but no written charter governs the actions of the Board when performing the functions of what would generally be performed by an audit committee. The Board approves the selection of our independent accountants and meets and interacts with the independent accountants to discuss issues related to financial reporting. In addition, the Board reviews the scope and results of the audit with the independent accountants, reviews with management and the independent accountants our annual operating results, considers the adequacy of our internal accounting procedures and considers other auditing and accounting matters including fees to be paid to the independent auditor and the performance of the independent auditor. Our Board of Directors, which performs the functions of an audit committee, does not have a member who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” within the definition of Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
13 |
Nomination Committee
Our Board of Directors does not maintain a nominating committee. As a result, no written charter governs the director nomination process. Our size and the size of our Board, at this time, do not require a separate nominating committee.
When evaluating director nominees, our directors consider the following factors:
• The appropriate size of our Board of Directors;
• Our needs with respect to the particular talents and experience of our directors;
• | The knowledge, skills and experience of nominees, including experience in finance, administration or public service, in light of prevailing business conditions and the knowledge, skills and experience already possessed by other members of the Board; |
• Experience in political affairs;
• Experience with accounting rules and practices; and
• The desire to balance the benefit of continuity with the periodic injection of the fresh perspective provided by new Board members.
Our goal is to assemble a Board that brings together a variety of perspectives and skills derived from high quality business and professional experience. In doing so, the Board will also consider candidates with appropriate non-business backgrounds.
Other than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees, although the Board may also consider such other factors as it may deem are in our best interests as well as our stockholders. In addition, the Board identifies nominees by first evaluating the current members of the Board willing to continue in service. Current members of the Board with skills and experience that are relevant to our business and who are willing to continue in service are considered for re-nomination. If any member of the Board does not wish to continue in service or if the Board decides not to re-nominate a member for re-election, the Board then identifies the desired skills and experience of a new nominee in light of the criteria above. Current members of the Board are polled for suggestions as to individuals meeting the criteria described above. The Board may also engage in research to identify qualified individuals. To date, we have not engaged third parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying potential nominees, although we reserve the right in the future to retain a third party search firm, if necessary. The Board does not typically consider shareholder nominees because it believes that its current nomination process is sufficient to identify directors who serve our best interests.
Code of Ethics
To date, we had not adopted a Code of Ethics for Financial Executives, which would include our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.
Item 11. Executive Compensation
Our executive officers Jack Chadsey, Steven Cabouli and Orlando LaCalle are currently paid monthly fixed cash compensation as follows:
Jack Chadsey | $ | 12,500 | ||
Steven Cabouli | $ | 12,000 | ||
Orlando LaCalle | $ | 5,000 |
The compensation agreement with Mr. LaCalle was reached on December 30, 2013 and was based on Mr. LaCalle’s fixed monthly expenses and our financial resources and ability to pay. Mr. Cabouli is the founder and former sole shareholder of iWallet Corporation and no formal arrangement was reached with him on any specific date. His current salary arrangement, like the arrangement with Mr. LaCalle, is based on Mr. Cabouli’s fixed personal monthly expenses and our financial resources and ability to pay. Accruals will be recorded for any wages owed to Mr. Chadsey, Mr. Cabouli and Mr. LaCalle in the event that there is not enough cash to meet payroll requirements. Our compensation system has generally consisted of paying our key executives such basic remuneration for their time and services as is appropriate for our current resources and stage of development. We are in the process of creating a formal system of compensation designed to motivate, incentivise, and retain our key executives. Currently with his appointment on September 8, 2014, we entered into an Executive Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) with our CEO, Mr. Chadsey. Under the Agreement, Mr. Chadsey will serve as our CEO and a member of the Board for three (3) years. He will be paid a minimum base annual salary of $150,000, subject to annual review. In addition to annual salary, the Agreement provides Mr. Chadsey with a grant of common stock equal to a total of fifteen percent (15%) of our issued and outstanding common stock, or 4,398,207 shares under current figures. The stock grant will vest in annual phases over the course of the term of the agreement. The objectives of the Agreement with Mr. Chadsey are to provide him with an appropriate base salary, to vest him with the opportunity to earn substantial ownership in the company, and to provide him with an incentive for longevity in office.

1. Our balance sheets reflect the sum of $114,349 due from shareholder. This obligation is due from our President and former CEO, Steven Cabouli. This obligation is non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on demand. There is no written agreement or specific terms of repayment for this obligation. We expect that it will be settled in the near future.
2. Concurrent with his appointment on September 8, 2014, we entered into an Executive Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) with our CEO, Jack Chadsey. Under the Agreement, Mr. Chadsey will serve as our CEO and a member of the Board for three (3) years. He will be paid a minimum base annual salary of $150,000, subject to annual review.
