PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION

Except as otherwise indicated by the context, references in this Report to “we”, “us” and “our” are to the combined business of Tropic International Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated. In this Report, the phrase the “Company” refers to Rockford Minerals Inc. prior to June 28, 2013.

This Report includes our audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”). All financial information in this Report is presented in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated, and should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Report.

As disclosed in our current report on Form 8-K dated July 3, 2013, on June 28, 2013 (the “Closing Date”), we completed a share exchange with Tropic Spa Inc. (“Tropic Spa”), an Ontario corporation, 1894632 Ontario Inc., an Ontario corporation (“Subco”), and certain of the shareholders of Tropic Spa (collectively, the “Tropic Spa Shareholders”), pursuant to which we acquired 78,030,877 common shares, or approximately 78% of the issued and outstanding shares, of Tropic Spa in exchange for the issuance of 78,030,877 preferred shares of Subco, our wholly owned subsidiary, to the Tropic Spa Shareholders on a one-for-one basis (the “Share Exchange”). As a result of the Share Exchange, Tropic Spa became our majority-owned subsidiary and the former shareholders of Tropic Spa became holders of the preferred shares of Subco, a company that has only one issued and outstanding common share which is held by us. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse takeover/recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein Tropic Spa is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. Our consolidated financial statements are therefore, in substance, those of Tropic Spa.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PART I

Item 1. Business

Business Overview

We are a development stage company in the business of developing and commercializing an innovative home mist tanning system. Our goal is to market a unique system for convenient home use that delivers a full-body application and eliminates the harmful health effects associated with traditional tanning beds. The primary effect is exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and the consequences or such exposure have been well-documented by numerous organizations, including the American Cancer Society and the Canadian Cancer Society. They generally include an increase in the risk of contracting both melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers as well as structural damage to the skin that can result in what dermatologists call “photoageing”, or premature wrinkles, freckles, leathery texture and a loss of elasticity.

To date, we have finalized the design of our product, applied for and acquired a United States Patent for it entitled “Apparatus for Spray Application of a Sunless Tanning Product” (the “Patent”) and have patents pending which are in the process of being completed for Australia, Canada, China and the European Union. We have also prepared our product for market and completed two phases of test marketing initiatives, and we are currently preparing to launch a comprehensive three-phase marketing strategy.

Our Corporate History and Background

We were incorporated as “Rockford Minerals Inc.” under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 29, 2007. From our inception until the closing of the Share Exchange, we sought to be a producer of gold and silver ore, and of other precious metals. On July 19, 2008, we acquired an undeveloped mining claim called the Rockford Lode Mining Claim located in Clark County, Nevada, for which we paid $12,000, including the cost of a geological report prepared by Sookochoff Consultants Inc. and Laurence Sookochoff, P. Eng., as a consulting geologist, for the purpose of recommending an exploration program. Due to lack of capital, we did not commence any phase of the exploration program recommended in the geological report.

On August 24, 2010, we filed a certificate of amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State to increase our authorized capital from 10,000,000 shares of common stock to 100,000,000, each with a par value of $0.001 per share. On April 17, 2013, we filed a certificate of amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State to increase our authorized capital from 100,000,000 shares of common stock to 300,000,000, each with a par value of $0.001 per share.

On June 24, 2013, we purchased one common share of Subco and one common share of 1894631 Ontario Inc., an Ontario corporation (“Callco”), from Gregory J. Neely, our former President, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and director. Both of these companies were incorporated on April 15, 2013 in anticipation of completing the Share Exchange, and became our wholly owned subsidiaries as a result of the share purchases.

Prior to the closing of the Share Exchange, we had not generated any revenue and our operations were primarily limited to capital formation, organization and development of our business plan. As a result of the Share Exchange, we ceased our prior operations and, through Tropic Spa, we now operate as a company that manufactures and sells home mist tanning units with a patent-protected feature.

In order to more accurately reflect our new business operations, on December 6, 2013, we changed our name from “Rockford Minerals Inc.” to “Tropic International Inc.” as a result of a merger with Tropic International Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary that was incorporated solely to effect the name change.

Tropic Spa was incorporated under the laws of the Province Ontario on September 17, 2007. Its operations to date have consisted of business formation, strategic development, test marketing, technology development and capital raising activities. Tropic Spa has generated $78,359 in revenue since its inception. Its website is www.tropicspatan.com.

On April 11, 2013 and in anticipation of completing the Share Exchange, Tropic Spa completed a vertical amalgamation with 1893211 Ontario Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary. The amalgamation was approved by the directors of each of Tropic Spa and 1893211 Ontario Inc., and was completed for the sole purpose of merging the two corporations and carrying on as one entity.

Acquisition of Tropic Spa

On the Closing Date, we entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Subco, Tropic Spa and the Tropic Spa Shareholders pursuant to which we acquired approximately 78% of the outstanding capital stock of Tropic Spa in exchange for the issuance of 78,030,877 preferred shares of Subco to the Tropic Spa Shareholders. The shares issued to the Tropic Spa Shareholders pursuant to the Share Exchange constituted 100% of Subco’s issued and outstanding preferred shares as of and immediately after the consummation of the Share Exchange. Each one preferred share of Subco (each, an “Exchangeable Share”) is exchangeable into one share of our common stock at the option of the holder thereof, subject to the following restrictions:

The foregoing restrictions do not apply to any exchange, sale or other disposition of the preferred shares of Subco by the holder thereof:

The foregoing description of the preferred shares of Subco is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to such preferred shares (the “Exchangeable Share Provisions”), included as Appendix I to the Exchange Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to our current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 3, 2013.

As a result of the Share Exchange, Tropic Spa became our majority-owned subsidiary and John Marmora, the sole officer and director of Tropic Spa, acquired the right to become our principal stockholder by exchanging the Exchangeable Shares he received on the Closing Date for shares of our common stock. The Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse merger/recapitalization effected through a share exchange, with Tropic Spa as the accounting acquirer and the Company as the accounting acquiree. Unless the context suggests otherwise, when we refer in this Report to business and financial information for periods prior to the consummation of the Share Exchange, we are referring to the business and financial information of Tropic Spa.

In connection with the Share Exchange and on the Closing Date, Gregory J. Neely submitted his resignation as our President, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, Secretary and Treasurer; John Marmora was appointed by our Board of Directors to fill the resulting vacancies; Mr. Marmora was appointed as our Chief Executive Officer and a director; Mr. Neely submitted his resignation as the President, Secretary and sole director of Subco and Callco, and Mr. Marmora was appointed to fill the resulting vacancies. On November 29, 2013, Mr. Neely also resigned as our director.

As a result of our acquisition of Tropic Spa, Tropic Spa became our majority-owned subsidiary and we assumed the business and operations of Tropic Spa.

As a condition of the closing of the Exchange Agreement, we also entered into the following agreements on the Closing Date:

The structure of the Share Exchange was determined largely based on the potential tax implications for the Tropic Spa shareholders of exchanging their common shares of Tropic Spa, an Ontario corporation, for shares of our common stock. Under s. 85(1) of the Income Tax Act (Canada), a tax-deferred “rollover” is not available where shares of a Canadian corporation are exchanged for shares of a United States corporation and, as a result, we created Subco, also an Ontario corporation, for the purpose of allowing those shareholders who elected to participate in the Share Exchange to do so on a tax-deferred “rollover” basis (i.e., by allowing them to defer any capital gain that would accrue upon the exchange of their common shares of Tropic Spa for shares of our common stock). This was achieved by issuing exchangeable preferred shares of Subco to the holders of Tropic Spa’s common shares on the Closing Date.

Callco, our wholly owned subsidiary, was formed solely for the purpose of avoiding a Canadian deemed dividend withholding tax payable on a dividend or other distribution of Subco to us to the extent that such a dividend or other distribution exceeds the paid-up capital of Subco. However, in order for this to take place Callco must become the holder of the one issued and outstanding common share of Subco that we currently hold, since it would then permit the dividend or other distribution to pass through Callco before being distributed to us.

On February 17, 2015, we entered into an amendment to the Exchange Agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”) with Subco, Tropic Spa and the Tropic Spa Shareholders in order to correct a few administrative errors in the Exchange Agreement and provide for the post-closing execution of the Exchange Agreement by those shareholders of Tropic Spa who were not original signatories thereto. The complete text of the Amendment Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to our current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 19, 2015.

Also on February 17, 2015, the Tropic Spa Shareholders approved certain changes to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to the preferred shares of Subco described above by consent in writing. Of these, the only material change was the deletion of the “June 30, 2015” date in section 5(b) and its replacement with “June 30, 2017”.

Support Agreement

The Support Agreement provides and establishes a procedure whereby we are required to take certain actions and make certain payments and deliveries in connection with the satisfaction of the obligations of Callco and/or Subco under the Exchangeable Share Provisions. As described in the Exchangeable Share Provisions, Subco is required to deliver shares of our common stock to a holder of Exchangeable Shares upon the liquidation or insolvency of Subco, upon the redemption of Exchangeable Shares by Subco, and upon the exercise of the retraction or exchange right by such holder. The Exchangeable Share Provisions also require Subco to pay dividends on the Exchangeable Shares that are equivalent to any dividends that are paid on shares of our common stock.

The Support Agreement provides commercial certainty and is in the interests of the holders of Exchangeable Shares because it creates enforceable contractual rights of Subco against us so that in all relevant circumstances Subco is in a position to acquire the necessary shares of our common stock, and finance any dividend payments equivalent to dividends paid on shares of our common stock, in order to satisfy Subco’s obligations under the Exchangeable Share Provisions. In that respect, the Support Agreement includes certain covenants made by us, including that we will:

In general, the Support Agreement ensures that the obligations of Subco are backstopped by covenants made by us or any successor to us. It will remain in effect until no Exchangeable Shares (or securities or rights convertible into or exchangeable for Exchangeable Shares) are held by any person other than us or any of our affiliates (in other words, until all the Exchangeable Shares have been exchanged into shares of our common stock).

Trust Agreement

The Trust Agreement provides and establishes a procedure whereby the voting rights attached to shares of our common stock are exercisable by the registered holders (the “Beneficiaries”) of the Exchangeable Shares, other than those Exchangeable Shares held by us or our affiliates, through the Trustee. The Trustee holds legal title to a special voting share (the “Special Voting Share”) to which voting rights are attached for the benefit of the Beneficiaries.

The Special Voting Share confers on the Trustee the number of votes equal to the number of outstanding Exchangeable Shares, other than Exchangeable Shares held by us or our affiliates, on all matters on which the holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to vote. Under the Trust Agreement, the Trustee is required to hold the Special Voting Share as trustee solely for the use and benefit of the Beneficiaries and has no power or authority to sell, transfer, vote or otherwise deal with the Special Voting Share.

The Trust Agreement provides a mechanism under which a Beneficiary may instruct the Trustee regarding how to vote the votes conferred by the Special Voting Share relating to such Beneficiary’s Exchangeable Shares. This mechanism ensures that Beneficiaries have a complete bundle of rights that collectively is equivalent to the rights each Beneficiary would have if it owned shares of our common stock directly, and is exercised by Beneficiaries providing written instructions to the Trustee following the mailing of any communications by us to the holders of our common stock as well as the holders of Exchangeable Shares.

For commercial reasons, it is in the interests of a holder of Exchangeable Shares to obtain additional protection with respect to its ability to exercise retraction or exchange rights in the event of the liquidation or insolvency of us or Subco. As a result, the Trust Agreement also grants such holders “insolvency put rights”, including the right to automatically exchange their Exchangeable Shares for shares of our common stock upon the occurrence of certain events.

The right of a Beneficiary to exercise any voting rights in respect of the Exchangeable Shares held by such Beneficiary will cease immediately upon the exercise of any exchange right, automatic exchange, retraction or redemption of Exchangeable Shares for shares of our common stock, or the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Subco.

The foregoing description of the Exchange Agreement, including the Support Agreement and the Trust Agreement, includes a summary of all the material provisions but is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Exchange Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to our current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 3, 2013.

Products

Our home mist tanning system delivers a full-body application in 12 seconds resulting in a tan that develops gradually over a period of five to eight hours and lasts from between five and eight days. The packages we market contain everything an individual needs to complete 10 full-body tans in the comfort of their own home.

Our tanning system was designed for home use to provide users with a salon quality tan. It consists of an application unit, a tanning kit and a pre-tan kit. The tanning kit includes our proprietary tanning solution, which is a clear fluid with a slight yellow tinge that contains a blend of DHA or dihydroxyacetone (a chemical approved by the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) for use in the cosmetics industry), skin moisturizers and conditioners. DHA is a color additive that darkens the skin by reacting with amino acids in the skin’s surface. To be clear, however, the FDA’s approval of DHA is restricted to external applications only; the agency advises against inhaling, ingesting or applying DHA to the lips and eye areas; and the use of DHA in tanning booths, including misting devices, as an all-over spray has not been approved by the FDA since safety data to support its use has not been submitted to the agency for review and evaluation.

Our proprietary tanning solution is packaged into specially designed cosmetic bladders and housed in aerosol cans, which allows users to dispense it directly with no cross-contamination of propellant or any other material. In addition to six 2.6oz cans of the solution, the tanning kit contains a spray applicator and one touch-up can, while the pre-tan kit contains exfoliating wipes or gloves (selected by the user at the time of purchase), plastic head and foot covers and plastic protective gloves.

Our system may affect persons of different sizes in different manners since the amount of tanning solution dispensed from each of the unique, non-clogging mist nozzles on the unit cannot be user-adjusted. The nozzles are manufactured using a plastic injection molding process in order to ensure that they all perform in an identical fashion and are designed to emit a consistent amount of solution. As a result, during each tanning cycle the nozzles dispense a total of approximately 1.6oz of tanning solution from the cosmetic bladders. Due to this consistency, the recommend minimum and maximum user heights for our units are 4’5” and 6”, respectively. We have not made any provisions to accommodate users who fall outside of this height range, since we believe that such persons only represent an extremely small proportion of our potential customer base.

Our application unit has been engineered to apply our tanning solution evenly through unique, non-clogging mist nozzles and deliver a sufficient amount of the solution in 12 seconds to provide full body coverage. Over-spray is minimal or nonexistent, and the cordless design of the unit allows it to be used in multiple locations and deliver multiple applications on a single lithium ion battery charge. Each unit contains an internal counter that indicates when there is only enough tanning solution remaining to complete two tans, and consists of a simple design that allows for the easy removal and replacement of the solution.

Constructed of lightweight durable plastic in a neutral tone, the application units are visually appealing, compact in size and come fully assembled, requiring only a primary battery charge of approximately four hours to begin the tanning process. The units also include a unique adjustable hanger bracket that permits simple height adjustments and both visual cues and audible electronic tones that provide important information to users as follows:

The lithium ion battery included with each application unit can be fully recharged in approximately eight hours once fully depleted through a conventional North American wall socket. The batteries are provided to us by an electronics supplier based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, who acquires them from a manufacturer in China. We do not have an agreement in place with the supplier regarding the purchase and sale of specified quantities of batteries; instead, we purchase them on an as-needed basis using conventional means.

Our application unit has been certified by QPS Evaluation Services, Inc. (“QPS”), a nationally and internationally accredited third-party testing, certification and field evaluation body, under certificate number LR1209. This certification provides an increased assurance of quality and safety to consumers by demonstrating that the unit has been tested to and meets the requirements of applicable Canadian and Unites States standards, since QPS’s labels and marks are accepted as equals to those of the Canadian Standards Association and Underwriters Laboratories.

Because we are committed to supplying products of superior quality and design, we provide a limited one year warranty on our application units. If a unit stops operating due to defects in materials or workmanship during this time, we will either repair or replace it for free.

In addition to the application units, we also sell tanning solution kit refills that take less than five minutes to replace. Each tanning solution kit refill contains six 2.6oz cans, which is a sufficient amount of our proprietary solution to provide 10 full-body tans. To the best of our knowledge, empty cans of our tanning solution can be recycled in the same manner as conventional aerosol cans in all jurisdictions that offer recycling alternatives to conventional waste collection.

We currently sell our home mist tanning system for the base price of $300 and our tanning solution kit refills for $100, each plus applicable shipping and handling. The complete system also includes an operating manual, instructional DVD and simple power adapter.

Industry Overview and Competition

There are currently many products on the market geared towards providing users with a sunless tan. These include bronzers, gels, foams and lotions, all of which can vary dramatically in both quality and price. Based on the research we have conducted, it is our belief that these products can be quite messy and often yield unreliable results. Recently, airbrush or spray tanning products for home use have gained a foothold in the market, but anecdotal evidence suggests that these products can be tricky to apply evenly and can discolor and streak the skin if not used properly. There are also a small number of medical sunless tanning alternatives, but the market for these is extremely limited.

Given the uncertainty associated with applying or using many sunless tanning products, consumers have gravitated to the salon or spa in search of natural looking results. The most popular method of obtaining a sunless tan at these establishments that doesn’t include exposure to harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays is through a spray tan. However, this is generally understood to be a costly pursuit, especially over the long term.

A summary of the various options is provided below.

Bronzers, Gels, Foams and Lotions

Bronzers, gels, foams and lotions generally cost between $12 and $65 per bottle. Apart from bronzers, each of these products uses DHA or dihydroxyacetone as an active ingredient in order to create a reaction between the product and dead skin cells to obtain darker looking skin. In our opinion, bronzers, gels, foam and lotions can often be difficult to apply evenly, especially in hard-to-reach places, as they require users to apply the product onto their body using their hands. They frequently streak and discolor the skin if applied incorrectly, as well as leave the hands and nails of users with an undesirable orange hue. Gloves can help but the products often stick to them and create an uneven result.

Lotions can provide a more satisfying application than gels, but because of the moisturizing properties often added to these products they can also clog pores which may not be suitable for users with sensitive skin or who are acne-prone. Lotions also take a longer time to dry and users must wear loose clothing until they have properly dried.

Bronzers are simply a short term solution for a glow. They exist in gel form but often consist of a powder to be applied with a makeup brush. If applied incorrectly we believe that bronzers can look too dark and they also have the drawback of sometimes rubbing off on clothes.

Prominent manufacturers of bronzers, gels, foams and lotions include Banana Boat, Jergens, Hawaiian Tropic and L’Oréal.

Medical Alternatives

There are two drugs available on the market related to sunless tanning. The first of these is canthaxanthin, a colorant commonly used as a food dye. Though the FDA and Heath Canada have approved canthaxanthin as a color additive in foods (see the FDA’s “More on Tanning Products” Safety and Regulatory Information page and Health Canada’s Natural Health Products Ingredients Database), it has not been approved for use as a sunless tanning pill since consumption of large amounts has been linked to liver injury and canthaxanthin retinopathy, a form of retina discoloration.

The second drug is called Melanotan II and is also known as the “Barbie drug”. Basically, it is an injectable that mimics melanin in skin. Although widely available, according to the Canadian Cancer Society both the FDA and Heath Canada have warned the public that the drug has not been tested and should be avoided until further research has been completed to test its possible side effects.

Home Use Airbrushing

Several options have been developed over time for home use airbrushing. Temptu manufactures a portable airbrushing unit that retails for US$305, with each refill costing US$45 per tanning pod. The unit was designed to tan only the face, but we believe many consumers also use it to tan their entire body. Based on our research, we understand that two tanning pods are required for such a tan, which would therefore cost a consumer $90 for one fully-body tan.

Luminess Tan is another manufacturer of airbrush tanning products. It sells a small portable unit for home tanning use that costs US$159 for a starter pack and US$32 for two 1.5oz bottle refills. In our opinion, the primary drawback of the Luminess Tan unit is that consumers need to have a steady hand to apply the product properly and may require a second person to apply it in hard-to-reach areas. We have also been informed that the company’s application wand may become clogged with frequent use.

St. Tropez, Model Co. and Victoria’s Secret, among others, have recently entered the growing “spray tan in a can” market. Their products come in mist form, but without experience we believe that consumers run the risk of leaving streaks from applying them incorrectly. It can also be difficult to access certain parts of the body with sprays, such as the back, and over-spraying can lead to an uneven tan. Users of these products must also keep the nozzle approximately six inches from their skin in order to maintain an even application. “Spray tan in a can” can cost anywhere from US$12 to US$40 per unit.

The SheerTan Sunless Tanning wand provides an attractive option for hard-to-reach areas such as the back. To use the product, consumers must insert the mist into the wand and then move the wand around their body. The wand is bulky and can therefore be challenging to manoeuvre, but the cost is appealing at US$40 for the starter set. However, the price of refills is comparable to others at US$50 for a set of four.

Home Use Spray Tanning

Similar to airbrushing, spray tanning provides consumers with the ability to tan their entire body without having to refill the machines quite as often. Despite our research and industry knowledge, we are not aware of any independent reports or market analysis focused on this specific segment of the sunless tanning market; however, to the best of our knowledge and belief there is only one spray machine available in the Canadian and United States home use market that is somewhat comparable to ours: the ShowerTan system manufactured by RNJ Enterprizes, LLC.

The ShowerTan system is a portable unit that must be used in the shower. The starter unit retails for US$345 and the refills are priced at US$45 for four single-use bottles. In order to use the system, consumers also need to purchase CO2 tanning cartridges at a cost of $23 for 10 cartridges and add both the tanning solution and cartridges to the unit. We believe that the use of CO2 cartridges poses a potential hazard to consumers, and we designed our home mist tanning system differently as a result. ShowerTan also offers bronzing drops to mix into its solution for tan customization purposes.

In our opinion and based on the market research we have conducted, the ShowerTan machine has an industrial feel, is rather bulky and is visually intimidating because of its complexity. In addition, the unit must be cleaned after each use, which adds to the time required to obtain consistent tanning results.

Salon Airbrushing and Spray Tanning

Spray tans and airbrush tans are similar; however, with an airbrush tan a salon or spa technician applies the tanning solution and with a spray tan the consumer enters a private booth and is then sprayed by a machine to obtain a natural looking tan. Although there is little room for error, spray tanning has proven to be consistent and produce reliable results. Unfortunately, the cost can be high as one session from a professional salon or spa generally ranges from $40-120 plus the cost of a touch-up kit. To maintain a tan, a consumer would need to repeat the process every five to 14 days depending on his or her skin and the extent of exfoliation prior to tanning. In urban centers, the cost of professional spray tan maintenance can add up to over $1,000 per year.

With salon airbrushing and spray tanning, privacy can also be an issue since more bashful consumers may be uncomfortable disrobing in a strange place to receive an application. Time must also be considered, as many salons require an appointment and consumers therefore need to plan ahead and organize their schedule. For salon-based sunless tanning alternatives, time and money are the most important factors to consider.

The market for sunless tanning products is highly competitive with respect to performance, quality and price. We anticipate that we will directly compete with those competitors whom we identified above, as well as with other local and regional manufacturers. We may also compete with artificial sunbed tanning establishments and manufacturers and suppliers of similar products and services; however, we do not consider these direct competitors because their processes involve exposing the skin to harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.

In the future, we also may face further competition from new market entrants and possible alliances between existing competitors. Some of our competitors have, or may have, greater financial, marketing and other resources. As a result, competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging trends and changes in technology, benefit from greater purchasing economies, offer more aggressive pricing to customers or devote greater resources to the promotion of their products than we are capable of accomplishing. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully compete in the future with such competitors, and the failure to successfully compete could have an adverse effect on our operating results.

Marketing Plan

As described above, we currently compete with several companies offering a number of different sunless tanning products. We believe the opportunity exists for us to take advantage of the very broad sunless tanning market by emphasizing the benefits of our home mist tanning system in relation to the products offered by our competitors. In this respect, we plan to focus our marketing efforts on the following competitive advantages:

We have not yet begun to fully implement our marketing plan. However, we have completed two phases of test marketing: one in Canada and another in the United States. These are the countries in which we expect to concentrate our operations, and both phases involved the production and airing of a basic infomercial and a coordinated introductory social media campaign. We decided to undertake these initiatives for the primary purpose of collecting data about our target markets in preparation for launching the more extensive marketing strategy described below. In furtherance of this objective, we also retained the services of two public relations consultants to assist us with promoting our brand name and reaching media sources such as print magazines and television talk shows.

We have decided to adopt a three-phase strategy in order to successfully market our home mist tanning system and products under the Tropic Spa brand name. This strategy consists of a branding phase, an infomercial phase and a retail phase, all of which will be accompanied by continuous efforts to increase sales of our products.

Despite the fact we have not yet started to pursue the first phase of our strategy to any significant extent, our home mist tanning system has already been the subject of a number of articles in specialty newspapers and on fashion magazine blogs and Twitter accounts. These include Westside Today (Los Angeles), The Green Connoisseur and Wire LA.

We expect to spend approximately $600,000 to pursue our marketing plan over the next 12 months, the bulk of which we expect to allocate to producing and airing a new infomercial. We do not currently have sufficient funds to carry out all three phases of our strategy, so as described elsewhere in this Report, we intend to meet the balance of our cash requirements for the next 12 months through a combination of debt financing and equity financing through private placements. Currently we are active in contacting broker/dealers in Canada and elsewhere regarding possible financing arrangements; however, we do not currently have any arrangements in place to complete any private placement financings and there is no guarantee that we will be successful in completing any such financings. If we are unsuccessful in obtaining sufficient funds through our capital raising efforts, we may review other financing options, although we cannot provide any assurance that any such options will be available to us or on terms reasonably acceptable to us. If we are not able to obtain additional financing, we may be required to scale back our marketing plans or eliminate them altogether.

Suppliers

In addition to the supplier of our lithium ion batteries described in the “Products” section, above, we have developed relationships with two other companies that manufacture the plastic components of our application units and our proprietary tanning solution, respectively. Both of these manufacturers are located in the metropolitan area around Toronto, Ontario, Canada and, although we do not have formal supply agreements in place with them, we are able to purchase sufficient component quantities from them to fulfill demand for our products on an as-needed basis using conventional purchase orders.

Intellectual Property

Our home mist tanning system is currently protected by U.S. Patent No. 7,594,593, which is entitled “Apparatus for Spray Application of a Sunless Tanning Product”. We have also filed patents in Canada, Australia, China and Europe to protect our product. A summary of those patents and patent applications is provided below.

Our United States Patent is a “utility patent”, which in general terms protects the way an article is used and works. A “design patent”, on the other hand, protects the way an article looks. Other primary distinguishing features between the two types of patents are as follows: the term of a “utility patent” is 20 years measured from the filing date, whereas the term of a “design patent” is 14 years measured from the grant date; the holder of a “utility patent” are required to pay maintenance fees whereas the holder of a “design patent” is not; and the holder of a “utility patent” is able to file an international application naming various countries under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), whereas the holder of a “design patent” is not.

We also own the copyright in the contents of our website, the rights to the www.tropicspatan.com Internet domain name, and we guard the composition of our proprietary tanning solution as a trade secret. Other than that, we do not own any intellectual property and we have not filed for any protection of our trademark.

Employees

As of November 30, 2015, we did not have any full time or part time employees. We currently rely on the efforts of our John Marmora, our principal executive officer and sole director, and Azmatali Mehrali, our new principal financial officer, to manage our operations. However, we may hire workers on a contract basis from time to time as the need arises.

Government Regulations

Recent legislation regarding sunless tanning in both the United States and Canada has consistently focused on the harm posed to consumers, and minors in particular, as a result of exposure to UV rays at indoor tanning facilities. Research indicates that high risk exposure happens more commonly in teens and that blistering sunburns and overexposure during childhood greatly increase the chances of developing skin cancer later in life. Because sun (and UV) exposure in childhood and the teenage years can be so damaging, policymakers in some states have decided to regulate minors’ use of tanning devices (like tanning beds, booths and sunlamps). Currently California and Vermont ban the use of tanning beds for all minors under 18, and at least 33 states regulate the use of tanning facilities by minors. Some counties and cities also regulate the use of tanning devices.

Legislators in various states and provinces are also currently debating bills that propose to ban indoor tanning for youth under the age of 18, and in some cases 14. Others have enacted laws that require in-person parental or guardian permission in order for a minor to use such facilities. Finally, most states and provinces at least require operators of indoor tanning facilities to implement time limitations on tanning beds to the manufacturer’s maximum exposure recommendation and to provide eye protection to customers.

The consequence of these regulations is that consumers are effectively being legislated away from using sunless tanning products or services that involve UV light exposure, leaving a gap in the market that we are aiming to fill. The amount of negative publicity surrounding the new laws has also contributed to a search by consumers for healthy tanning alternatives that provide consistent results, and we believe we are therefore well-positioned to capture a sizeable share of the rapidly-evolving sunless tanning market.

We are also required to comply with environmental laws regarding the manufacturing of our proprietary tanning solution and the recycling of the aerosol cans that contain the solution. However, we do not anticipate incurring any costs or effects relating to either since the manufacturing process required to produce our tanning solution results in no chemical by-products and minimal waste and our customers are responsible for recycling the aerosol cans through their local household recycling program.

In addition, since our proprietary tanning solution contains DHA, it is subject to the United States Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the “FD&C Act”) and the purview of the FDA. Section 721 of the FD&C Act authorizes the regulation of color additives, including their uses and restrictions, and DHA is listed in the regulations as a color additive for use in imparting color to the human body. However, its usage is restricted to external application, as is its use by the FDA, since the FDA has not received safety data that would allow it to consider approving DHA for use on other exposure routes such as the lips, the area of the eye or any body surface covered by a mucous membrane. This includes the use of DHA through misting tanning devices. Since it may be difficult for consumers to avoid exposure to DHA in a manner for which the chemical is not approved, we may receive requests by our customers to provide protection for their eyes and mucous membranes as part of any home mist tanning package, and we will consider such requests as the need arises.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

Not applicable.

Item 2. Properties

Our executive office is located at 1057 Parkinson Road, Unit #9, Woodstock, Ontario, Canada N4S 7W3. We have leased this space at a cost of $1,100 per month since December 2, 2011, and we also use it to meet our assembly, warehouse and distribution needs. We believe that this property is generally suitable to meet our needs for the foreseeable future; however, we will continue to seek additional space as needed to satisfy our growth.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of our executive officers or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting us, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or our officers or directors of those of our subsidiaries’ in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

General

As of November 30, 2015, we had 12,264,146 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, 7,331,380 of which were restricted under the under the Securities Act. None of these restricted shares are eligible for resale absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act; however, as of November 30, 2015, the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act was available for these shares.

Also as of November 30, 2015, Subco had 78,030,877 preferred shares issued and outstanding, each of which is exchangeable into one share of our common stock in accordance with the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to such preferred shares, and we did not have any outstanding options, warrants or other securities convertible into shares of our common stock.

Market Information

Our common stock is not traded on any exchange; however, it is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and OTCQB under the symbol “TRPO”. OTC Bulletin Board and OTCQB securities are not listed and traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTC Bulletin Board and OTCQB securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers. OTC Bulletin Board and OTCQB issuers are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.

Trading in stocks quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and OTCQB is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may have little to do with a company’s operations or business prospects. There is no assurance that there will be a market for our common stock in the future.

Our common stock became eligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board on June 18, 2014 and the OTCQB on September 3, 2014. The following quotations reflect the high and low bids for our common stock based on inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission, and may not represent actual transactions. The high and low bid quotations of our common stock for the periods indicated below are as follows:

Holders

As of November 30, 2015, there were approximately 41 holders of record of our common stock.

Dividends

The Exchangeable Share Provisions require Subco to pay dividends on the Exchangeable Shares that are equivalent to any dividends that we pay on shares of our common stock. The Support Agreement provides commercial certainty for the holders of Exchangeable Shares in this regard since it creates enforceable contractual rights of Subco against us so that in all relevant circumstances Subco is in a position to acquire the necessary shares of our common stock, and finance any dividend payments equivalent to dividends we decide to pay on shares of our common stock, in order to satisfy Subco’s obligations under the Exchangeable Share Provisions. The Support Agreement therefore includes, among other things, a covenant made by us that we will not declare or pay a dividend on shares of our common stock unless Subco can simultaneously pay the same dividend on the Exchangeable Shares.

We have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock and, despite the language in the Exchangeable Share Provisions and the Support Agreement, we do not expect to declare or pay any such dividends for the foreseeable future. Any future decisions regarding dividends will be made by our Board of Directors. We currently intend to retain and use any future earnings for the development and expansion of our business. Our Board of Directors has complete discretion regarding the payment of dividends, and even if our Board of Directors decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend on our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant.

Penny Stock

Our common stock is subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act and Rule 15g-9 thereunder, commonly referred to as the “penny stock rule”. Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stock, and Rule 15g-9(d) incorporates the definition of “penny stock” that is found in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. The SEC generally defines a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than US$5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. We are subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules.

Since our common stock is deemed to be penny stock, trading in the shares of our common stock is subject to additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stock to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. “Accredited investors” are generally persons with assets in excess of US$1,000,000 or annual income exceeding US$200,000 or US$300,000 together with their spouse. For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of securities and must have the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction, of a risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for penny stocks held in an account and information to the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, these rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealer to trade and/or maintain a market in our common stock and may affect the ability of our stockholders to sell their shares.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

As of November 30, 2015, we did not have any compensation plans under which our equity securities are authorized for issuance, and we do not currently have any such plans. We intend to adopt an equity compensation plan in which our directors, officers, employees and consultants will be eligible to participate. However, no formal steps have been taken as of the date of this Report to adopt such a plan.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

Other than as disclosed in previous quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K, we did not issue any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and “Affiliated Purchasers”

We did not purchase any shares of our common stock or other securities during the year ended August 31, 2015.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

Not required.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto that appear elsewhere in this Report, as well as Item 1 and the “Presentation of Information” section that appears at the beginning of this Report.

Overview

We are a development stage company in the business of developing and commercializing an innovative home mist tanning system. Our goal is to market a unique system for convenient home use that delivers a full-body application and eliminates the harmful health effects associated with traditional tanning beds. To date, we have finalized the design of our product, applied for and acquired a United States Patent for it entitled “Apparatus for Spray Application of a Sunless Tanning Product” and have patents pending which are in the process of being completed for Australia, Canada, China and the European Union. We have also prepared our product for market and completed two phases of test marketing initiatives, and we are currently preparing to launch a comprehensive three-phase marketing strategy.

Our home mist tanning system delivers a full-body application in 12 seconds resulting in a tan that develops gradually over a period of five to eight hours and lasts from between five and eight days. The packages we market contain everything an individual needs to complete 10 full-body tans in the comfort of their own home. It consists of an application unit, a tanning kit and a pre-tan kit.

On the Closing Date, we completed the Share Exchange whereby we acquired approximately 78% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Tropic Spa in exchange for 78,030,877 preferred shares of Subco, our wholly owned subsidiary. As a result of the Share Exchange, Tropic Spa became our majority-owned subsidiary, we assumed the business and operations of Tropic Spa and we changed our business address from Toronto, Ontario to Woodstock, Ontario. In order to more accurately reflect our new business operations, on December 6, 2013, we changed our name from “Rockford Minerals Inc.” to “Tropic International Inc.” as a result of a merger with Tropic International Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary that was incorporated solely to effect the name change.

Tropic Spa was incorporated under the laws of the Province Ontario on September 17, 2007. Its operations to date have consisted of business formation, strategic development, test marketing, technology development and capital raising activities. The majority of Tropic Spa’s marketing efforts since its inception have focused on acquiring as much data as possible from its anticipated target markets in order to prepare for the launch of its three-phase marketing strategy described elsewhere in this Report.

Results of Operations

Revenue

During the year ended August 31, 2015, we generated $4,514 in revenue, all of which was in the form of sales revenue. During the year ended August 31, 2014, we generated $15,759 in revenue, including $3,259 in sales revenue and $12,500 in revenue from flyer distribution. The revenue we generated from sales during both periods was due to sales of our home mist tanning units, whereas the revenue we generated from flyer distribution during the former period was attributable to an arrangement pursuant to which we agreed to insert a brochure advertising a fitness company’s locations in Canada and related information into every home mist tanning unit package we ship in Canada for a period of two years beginning on March 1, 2012.

Production Costs

During the year ended August 31, 2015, we incurred production costs of $438,823, which, when subtracted from the revenue we generated during that period, resulted in a gross loss of $434,309. During the year ended August 31, 2014, we incurred production costs of $444,509 and a gross loss of $428,750. Our production costs during both years were attributable to a combination of amortization of the Patent ($373,075 in both the current year and the prior year), production-related consulting fees ($31,200 in both the current year and the prior year), depreciation ($13,358 in the current year vs. $16,698 in the prior year), materials and supplies ($14,981 in the current year vs. $9,423 in the prior year) and a writedown of inventory ($6,209 in the current year vs. $14,113 in the prior year). Our production costs were therefore relatively consistent from year-to-year.

Expenses

During the year ended August 31, 2015, we incurred $340,317 in total expenses, compared to $397,616 in total expenses during the year ended August 31, 2014. All the expenses incurred during both fiscal years were general and administrative in nature.

Our expenses during the year ended August 31, 2015, consisted of $185,056 in management-related consulting fees, $54,295 in professional fees, $22,427 in office and miscellaneous expenses, $16,789 in marketing expenses, $16,177 in trust and filing fees, $13,200 in rent, $11,637 in interest on advances from shareholders, $10,803 in travel and entertainment expenses, $5,774 in depreciation and $4,159 foreign exchange loss. During the prior year, our expenses included $184,850 in management-related consulting fees, $126,449 in professional fees, $26,951 in office and miscellaneous expenses, $16,347 in marketing expenses, $13,200 in rent, $3,538 in interest on advances from shareholders, $20,705 in travel and entertainment expenses and $5,775 in depreciation, as offset by a foreign exchange gain of $199. Apart from the $72,154 decrease in our professional fees between the two years, which was primarily attributable to an increase in the breadth and complexity of our SEC filings during the prior fiscal year, and the $16,177 in trust and filing fees that we incurred in the most recent fiscal year, which includes amounts paid to maintain our OTCQB quotation, our expenses were relatively consistent from year-to-year.

The significant management-related consulting fees we incurred over both years were paid to several parties, including John Marmora, our principal executive officer and sole director and the sole officer and director of Tropic Spa, and a number of consultants who provided management-related services to Tropic Spa.

Net Loss

During the year ended August 31, 2015, we incurred a net loss and comprehensive loss of $774,626 and a net loss per share of $0.06. During the prior year, we experienced a net loss and comprehensive loss of $826,366 and a net loss per share of $0.07.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of August 31, 2015, we had $8,336 in cash, $146,019 in current assets, $4,321,224 in total assets, $717,565 in total and current liabilities and a working capital deficiency of $571,546. As of that date, we also had an accumulated deficit of $4,870,681.

During the year ended August 31, 2015, we spent $136,144 in cash on operating activities, compared to $389,274 in cash spending on operating activities during the prior year. The 65% decrease in our cash spending on operating activities during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2015 was primarily attributable to certain changes in our assets and liabilities during our most recently completed fiscal year, the most significant of which by far was the $186,754 increase in our accounts payable and accrued liabilities from year-to-year.

We spent $6,038 and $11,904 in cash on investing activities during the years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, all of which was attributable to patent costs.

During the year ended August 31, 2015, we received $132,500 in cash from financing activities, including $102,500 in advances from shareholders and $30,000 in stock subscriptions, compared to $307,500 in cash receipts from financing activities during the prior year, all of which was in the form of advances from shareholders,.

During the year ended August 31, 2015, our cash decreased by $9,682 due to a combination of our operating, investing and financing activities.

Plan of Operations

Our plan of operations over the next 12 months is to carry out our three-phase marketing strategy and continue to develop our business, and we anticipate that we will require a minimum of $1,629,200 to pursue those plans, as follows:

We intend to allocate the bulk of our proposed marketing expenses to producing and airing a new infomercial, and we expect interest in our home mist tanning system to increase as a result. Such an increase will likely be accompanied by an increase in sales, which will require us to manufacture additional units and incur substantial production costs. The other expenses we anticipate occurring over the next 12 months are reasonably consistent with those from prior periods, as adjusted to reflect the expected increase in our operations and the costs of maintaining our status as a public company.

We do not currently have sufficient funds to carry out our entire plan of operations, so we intend to meet the balance of our cash requirements for the next 12 months through a combination of debt financing and equity financing through private placements. Currently we are active in contacting broker/dealers in Canada and elsewhere regarding possible financing arrangements; however, we do not currently have any arrangements in place to complete any private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any such financings. If we are unsuccessful in obtaining sufficient funds through our capital raising efforts, we may review other financing options, although we cannot provide any assurance that any such options will be available to us or on terms reasonably acceptable to us. Further, if we are unable to secure any additional financing then we plan to reduce the amount that we spend on our operations, including our management-related consulting fees and other general expenses, so as not to exceed the capital resources available to us. Regardless, our current cash reserves and working capital may not be sufficient to enable us to sustain our business for the next 12 months, even if we do decide to scale back our operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost, computed using the first-in, first-out method, or market. If the cost of inventory exceeds its market value, a provision is made currently for the difference between the cost and market value. Our inventory consists of finished goods, components and supplies.

Equipment, Net

Equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset. Mould equipment is depreciated at 20% on a declining-balance basis. The website is depreciated on a straight-line basis over five years. One-half of these rates are used in the year of acquisition. Replacements and major improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations.

Intangible Assets

The Patent is recorded at the value attributed to the shares issued to the Originating Companies and shareholders of TGSI less accumulated amortization. The Patent was issued on September 29, 2009 and is effective until September 29, 2026. Upon expiration, the Patent can be extended subject to certain changes required to secure the extension. Although the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors (such as stability of the industry, technological advances and legislative action that results in an uncertain or changing regulatory environment) can have an adverse effect on the industry and our product, management is not currently aware of any known adverse factors that will affect us in the future.

Costs incurred for patents which are in the process of being completed will be amortized over the life of the patent when the patent is issued.

We do not believe that there are any limits to how long our Home Mist Tanning units can sell in the market place. While we expect to be able to secure an extension to the Patent in 2026, this cannot be predicted with certainty at this time. Accordingly, management has determined that the best estimate of the useful life of the Patent is 17 years. At this time, we do not believe that the Patent will have a residual value at the end of its useful life.

Definite-lived intangible assets are required to be amortized using a method that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the patents are consumed or utilized. At this time, management is not able to determine with any amount of certainty the number of Home Mist Tanning units that will be sold over the useful life of the Patent. Accordingly, the Patent is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of its useful life.

Intangible assets subject to amortization are required to be reviewed for impairment. An impairment loss must be recognized if the intangible asset’s carrying amount is not recoverable and the carrying amount exceeds fair value. We apply the following three-step process to identify, recognize and measure impairment of the Patent:

Because of the unique nature of a patent, an income-producing definite-lived intangible asset, the calculation of cash flows can be very difficult to estimate. In this case, the estimated cash flows reflect the direct revenue expected to be generated by the Patent as well as an allocation of expenses.

Sales, Other Revenue and Deferred Revenue

We sell Home Mist Tanning units and related supplies primarily on line via our website. We recognize revenue when the units and supplies have been shipped to the customer, the amount to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue is recorded net of applicable sales taxes.

In February 2012, we entered into an agreement with a fitness company to insert into every Home Mist Tanning unit package shipped in Canada a brochure advertising their store locations in Canada along with other related information about their fitness stores. Pursuant to this two-year agreement, commencing March 1, 2012 and ending February 28, 2014, we have received $50,000 for this service. Revenue was recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement.

Warranty

We are committed to supplying products of superior quality and design. Because of this commitment, we provide a limited one year warranty effective from the date of purchase. We warranty our Home Mist Tanning units to be free of defects. If a unit stops operating due to defects in materials or workmanship, we either repair or replace it for free.

Foreign Currency

Our functional currency and the functional currency of our subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. Our consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items or on settlement of monetary items are recognized in the loss in the period in which they arise.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Consolidated Financial Statements

Year Ended August 31, 2015

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Tropic International Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tropic International Inc. (a Development Stage Enterprise) (the “Company”) as of August 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended August 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial 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 Tropic International Inc. as of August 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended August 31, 2015 and the cumulative period from September 17, 2007 (Inception) to August 31, 2015, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is in the development stage, has a net loss of $4,870,681 since inception and has used cash from operations of $2,347,689 from inception. The Company has a working capital deficiency of $571,546 and stockholders’ equity of $3,603,659 as of August 31, 2015. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. Company Overview and Basis of Presentation

Nature and History of Operations

Tropic International Inc. (formerly Rockford Minerals, Inc.) (a development stage company) (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on October 29, 2007. The Company was a natural resource exploration company with an objective of acquiring, exploring and, if warranted and feasible, developing natural resource properties. Activities during the exploration stage included developing the business plan and raising capital.

On June 28, 2013, the Company completed a reverse takeover transaction (see Note 2) with Tropic Spa Inc. (“TSI”), a company that manufactures and sells Home Mist Tanning units that deliver a full-body application. As a result of this transaction, the Company became a holding company operating through TSI. Upon the closing of the share exchange agreement described below, the Company changed its fiscal year end from October 31 to August 31 to coincide with the fiscal year end of TSI.

On December 6, 2013, the Company changed its name to Tropic International Inc. as a result of a merger with Tropic International Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary incorporated solely to effect the name change. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of TSI and the Company for the years ended August 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.

On September 3, 2014, the Company’s shares became eligible for quotation on the OTCQB under the symbol TRPO.

On November 19, 2007, TSI entered into Share Subscription Agreements (the “Agreements”) with MCM Consulting Ltd., Nandoor Enterprises Ltd., Sierra Tan Ltd., Sunshower Incorporated, Sunshower International Corporation and Tropic Spa Group Inc. (the “Originating Companies”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreements, the Originating Companies subscribed for, in aggregate, 18,202,503 common shares of TSI valued at $3,657,175. This assigned value was the cost to the Originating Companies, as of that date, of developing a Home Mist Tanning system and the application for and acquisition of a United States Patent “Apparatus for Spray Application of a Sunless Tanning Product” (the “Patent”). The Agreements included a triggering event (a “Triggering Event”) which was defined to mean the occurrence of any of the following events:

The Originating Companies entered into agreements with their shareholders allowing the shareholders, upon the Triggering Event, to exchange their class A shares in the Originating Companies, by exercising the option under their common share exchange warrant, for common shares in TSI.

On April 9, 2009, the Board of Directors of TSI (the “Board”) resolved that the Triggering Event had occurred and approved and issued a Notification of Triggering Event to the shareholders of the Originating Companies. The decision to exercise the Triggering Event was driven by three factors:

1. Company Overview and Basis of Presentation (cont’d)

After November 19, 2007, and subsequent to the execution of the Agreements, Tropic Spa Group Inc. (“TSGI”) incurred an additional $2,685,104 on the continued development of the Home Mist Tanning system and the application for and acquisition of the Patent. On March 11, 2013, TSI executed a second Share Subscription Agreement (the “Second Agreement”) with TSGI to cover the common shares of TSI issued to the shareholders of TSGI in respect of the additional costs incurred. Pursuant to the terms of the Second Agreement, TSGI subscribed for 26,034,520 common shares valued at $3,155,462 covering the period from November 20, 2007 to June 2010. Of these amounts, 3,880,745 common shares are for $470,358 received directly by TSI. The value assigned to the carrying value of the Patent, during the year ended August 31, 2010, was $2,685,104 ($3,155,462 less $470,358). The total value assigned to the carrying value of the Patent pursuant to the Agreements and the Second Agreement, collectively, was $6,342,279.

The Company, through TSI, has patents pending which are in the process of being completed for Australia, Canada, China and the European Union. Costs incurred are recorded as intangible assets (see Note 7).

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company is in the development stage, has a net loss of $4,870,681 (August 31, 2014 - $4,096,055) since inception and has used cash in operations of $2,347,689 from inception. The Company has a working capital deficiency of $571,546 (August 31, 2014 - $213,089) and stockholders’ equity of $3,603,659 (August 31, 2014 - $4,348,285). This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital and to implement its business plan. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

2. Reverse Takeover

On June 28, 2013 (the “Closing Date”), the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary 1894632 Ontario Inc. (“Subco”) and TSI entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with certain of the shareholders of TSI (the “Selling Shareholders”) pursuant to which the Company acquired 78,030,877 common shares, or approximately 78% of the issued and outstanding shares, of TSI in exchange for the issuance of 78,030,877 preferred shares of Subco to the Selling Shareholders on a one-for-one basis. Each one preferred share of Subco is exchangeable into one share of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holder subject to the following restrictions:

2. Reverse Takeover (cont’d)

Upon completion of the Exchange Agreement, the sole officer and director of TSI became the sole officer and a director of the Company and the Company adopted the business plan of TSI.

As a result of the share exchange, the former shareholders of TSI control approximately 87% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. The Exchange Agreement is a reverse takeover and therefore has been accounted for under the acquisition method with TSI as the accounting acquirer and continuing entity for accounting and financial reporting purposes and the Company as the legal parent being the acquiree. The business is in the development stage and there was no active market to reliably determine fair value of the consideration other than the value of the identifiable assets acquired.

Therefore, the purchase price allocation of the acquisition was based on the fair value of the net liabilities acquired which was charged to additional paid-in-capital.

The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are as follows:

On February 17, 2015, the Company, Subco, TSI and the Selling Shareholders entered into an amendment to the Exchange Agreement in order to correct certain administrative errors in the Exchange Agreement and provide for the post-closing execution of the Exchange Agreement by those shareholders of TSI who were not original signatories thereto. In addition, the Selling Shareholders approved certain changes to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to the preferred shares of Subco by consent in writing. This included extending the automatic expiration date in respect of the preferred shares of Subco from June 30, 2015 to June 30, 2017.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, TSI, Subco and 1894631 Ontario Inc., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires the Company 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 reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to equipment, fair values of intangible assets, and useful lives of intangible assets and the likelihood of realization of its deferred tax assets. The Company bases its estimates on assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

Concentration of Risk

The financial instrument which potentially subjects the Company to a concentration of credit risk is cash. The Company places its cash in an account with a high credit quality financial institution.

Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies that are disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto during the year ended August 31, 2015.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost, computed using the first-in, first-out method, or market. If the cost of inventory exceeds its market value, a provision is made currently for the difference between the cost and market value. The Company’s inventory consists of finished goods, components and supplies.

Equipment, Net

Equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset. Mould equipment is depreciated at 20% on a declining-balance basis. The website is depreciated on a straight-line basis over five years. One-half of these rates are used in the year of acquisition. Replacements and major improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations.

Intangible Assets

The Patent is recorded at the value attributed to the shares issued to the Originating Companies and shareholders of TGSI less accumulated amortization. The Patent was issued on September 29, 2009 and is effective until September 29, 2026. Upon expiration, the Patent can be extended subject to certain changes required to secure the extension. Although the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors (such as stability of the industry, technological advances and legislative action that results in an uncertain or changing regulatory environment) can have an adverse effect on the industry and the Company’s product, management is not currently aware of any known adverse factors that will affect the Company in the future.

Costs incurred for patents which are in the process of being completed will be amortized over the life of the patent when the patent is issued.

The Company does not believe that there are any limits to how long its Home Mist Tanning units can sell in the market place. While it expects to be able to secure an extension to the Patent in 2026, this cannot be predicted with certainty at this time. Accordingly, management has determined that the best estimate of the useful life of the Patent is 17 years. At this time, the Company does not believe that the Patent will have a residual value at the end of its useful life.

Definite-lived intangible assets are required to be amortized using a method that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the patents are consumed or utilized. At this time, management is not able to determine with any amount of certainty the number of Home Mist Tanning units that will be sold over the useful life of the Patent. Accordingly, the Patent is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of its useful life.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

Intangible assets subject to amortization are required to be reviewed for impairment. An impairment loss must be recognized if the intangible asset’s carrying amount is not recoverable and the carrying amount exceeds fair value. The Company applies the following three-step process to identify, recognize and measure impairment of the Patent:

Because of the unique nature of a patent, an income-producing definite-lived intangible asset, the calculation of cash flows can be very difficult to estimate. In this case, the estimated cash flows reflect the direct revenue expected to be generated by the Patent as well as an allocation of expenses.

Leases

The Company currently rents premises pursuant to an operating lease.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount should be evaluated. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by it. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.

Sales, Other Revenue and Deferred Revenue

The Company sells Home Mist Tanning units and related supplies primarily on line via its website. The Company recognizes revenue when the units and supplies have been shipped to the customer, the amount to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue is recorded net of applicable sales taxes.

In February 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with a fitness company to insert into every Home Mist Tanning unit package shipped in Canada a brochure advertising their store locations in Canada along with other related information about their fitness stores. Pursuant to this two-year agreement, commencing March 1, 2012 and ending February 28, 2014, the Company has received $50,000 for this service. Revenue was recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement.

Warranty

The Company is committed to supplying products of superior quality and design. Because of this commitment, it provides a limited one year warranty effective from the date of purchase. The Company warranties its Home Mist Tanning units to be free of defects. If a unit stops operating due to defects in materials or workmanship, the Company either repairs or replaces it for free.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

Production Costs

Production costs consist of patent amortization, production consulting fees, equipment depreciation, materials and supplies.

Advertising Costs

The Company charges all advertising and marketing costs to expense in the period incurred.

Income Taxes

Deferred income tax is accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences in recognizing certain income and expense items for financial reporting purposes and tax reporting purposes. Such deferred income taxes primarily relate to the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to the future years in which deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be settled or realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. At this time, the Company is not able to project future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible and, accordingly, management is not able to determine if it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company does not have any derivative financial assets or liabilities.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair values of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and advances from shareholders approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. Amounts receivable consists primarily of Harmonized Sales Tax (“HST”) receivable from the Government of Canada. HST is not a financial instrument.

Foreign Currency

The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items or on settlement of monetary items are recognized in the loss in the period in which they arise.

4. Loss Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of loss per share:

5. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. There is a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices 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; and

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, which require management judgment or estimation.

The Company measures its financial instruments at fair value.

The carrying value of cash deposits is a reasonable estimate of its fair value due to the short maturity of the financial instrument.

The Company does not have assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

6. Equipment, Net

Equipment, at cost, consisted of:

Depreciation was $19,132, $22,473, and $23,760 for the years ended August 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

During the year ended August 31, 2015, management identified the following indicators of impairment indicating that the Patent’s carrying amount might not be recoverable:

Management performed a recoverability test and determined that the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are greater than the Patent’s carrying amount and, accordingly, there is no impairment.

As of August 31, 2015, amortization expense on intangible assets for the next five years was expected to be as follows:

As a result of the Exchange Agreement, TSI became the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary. Each preferred share of Subco is exchangeable into one share of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holder subject to certain restrictions. As at August 31, 2015, none of the preferred shares had been exchanged. Accordingly, the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding at August 31, 2015 is equal to the number of shares outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Exchange Agreement.

12. Stockholders’ Equity (cont’d)

As a condition of the closing of the Exchange Agreement, the Company also entered into a Support Agreement and a Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement on the closing date. The Support Agreement ensures that the obligations of Subco remain effective until all of the preferred shares have been exchanged. The Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement provides and establishes a procedure whereby the voting rights attached to shares of the Company’s common stock are exercisable by the registered holders (the Selling Shareholders) of the preferred shares. The Trustee holds legal title to a Special Voting Share to which voting rights are attached for the benefit of the Selling Shareholders. The Trustee holds the Special Voting Share solely for the use and benefit of the Selling Shareholders.

13. Taxes (cont’d)

Deferred Taxes

Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:

Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, if any, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. A valuation allowance was established based upon management’s inability to determine whether sufficient future profits will be generated.

The Company has approximately $3,223,000 of United States and Canadian net operating loss carryforwards expiring from 2024 to 2035.

14. Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect its future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to: current economic conditions, uncertainty in the potential markets for its Home Mist Tanning units, increasing competition, and dependence on its existing management and key personnel.

15. Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-15 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10, which amended Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915 Development Stage Entities. The amendment eliminates certain financial reporting requirements surrounding development stage entities, including an amendment to the variable interest entities guidance in ASC Topic 810, Consolidation. The amendment removes the definition of a development stage entity from the ASC, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other entities from U.S. GAAP. Consequently, the amendment eliminates the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows and shareholder equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein.

15. Accounting Pronouncements (cont’d)

Early application of each of the amendments is permitted for any annual reporting period or interim period for which the entity’s financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company is currently assessing the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-10 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

16. Contingent Liability

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, as amended, the Company may be required to acquire up to 21,969,123 common shares of TSI, being those TSI shares still outstanding, in exchange for 21,969,123 preferred shares of Subco on a one-for-one basis. Such preferred shares would then be exchangeable on the same basis as the approximately 78 million Subco preferred shares currently outstanding (see Notes 2 and 12).

Subsequent to August 31, 2015, the following events occurred:

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this Report, management, with the participation of our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon this evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to certain deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management’s Annual 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) of the Exchange Act). Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2014 using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that a reasonable possibility exists that a material misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The deficiencies described below constitute, both individually and in the aggregate, a material weakness given their potential impact on our financial reporting and internal control over financial reporting.

In its assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2015, management determined that there were deficiencies that constitute, both individually and in the aggregate, a material weakness. These deficiencies include the fact that we have no audit committee, traditionally have had no independent directors, and do not have a system in place to review and monitor internal control over financial reporting.

Management is currently evaluating remediation plans for the deficiencies and will implement changes as time and financial resources allow.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Mr. Marmora has served as the President, Secretary, Treasurer and sole director of Tropic Spa since its inception on September 17, 2007, and also acted as our Chief Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer from the Closing Date until November 16, 2015.

Mr. Marmora has more than three decades of operational and management experience in a wide variety of industries. In 2003, he founded MCM Consulting Ltd., a company that manufactured and marketed a sunless tanning system, and since that time, he has been involved in the development, manufacturing and marketing of the patented sunless tanning system currently owned by Tropic Spa. It was primarily his experience in this industry that led us to conclude that he should serve as one of our directors in light of our new business and structure.

From 1977 to 1983, Mr. Marmora served as the President of Celmar Productions Inc., an award-winning company in the business of writing and producing jingles for commercial radio and television.

During this period, Mr. Marmora engaged in the negotiation of multimillion dollar contracts on behalf of the company’s clients with record labels such as Universal Music and Arista Records (a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment). Over the course of his music career, he earned several notable awards for work on various recordings, including the 2002 SOCAN Songwriter of the Year Award (Pop Music) and a 2004 Juno for Instrumental Album of the Year.

Corporate Governance

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board of Directors, which currently consists of Mr. Marmora.

Term of Office

Our directors are elected to serve until our next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors have been elected and qualified. Our officers are appointed to serve until the meeting of our Board of Directors following the next annual meeting of our stockholders and until their successors have been elected and qualified.

Board Committees

We do not have an audit, nominating or compensation committee. We intend, however, to establish an audit committee and a compensation committee of our Board of Directors in the future. We envision that the audit committee will be primarily responsible for reviewing the services performed by our independent auditor and evaluating our accounting policies and our system of internal controls. The compensation committee will be primarily responsible for reviewing and approving our salary and benefits policies (including stock options) and other compensation of our executive officers.

Significant Employees

Other than our executive officers, we do not expect any other individuals to make a significant contribution to our business.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among our executive officers or sole director or persons nominated or chosen by us to become directors or executive officers.

Legal Proceedings

Except as set forth in our discussion below in “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,” none of our directors or executive officers has been involved in any transactions with us or any of our directors, executive officers, affiliates or associates which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Code of Ethics

We have not yet adopted a code of ethics because we have not yet finalized the content of such a code.

Management Agreements

We do not yet have a formal management or consulting agreement in place with John Marmora, our principal executive officer. Regardless, we expect Mr. Marmora to allocate 100% of his working time to our business.

On November 16, 2015, we entered into a consulting agreement with a corporation controlled by Azmatali Mehrali, our Chief Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, pursuant to which, among other things, we agreed to cause Subco to issue an aggregate of 3,000,000 exchangeable preferred shares to Mr. Mehrali’s corporation over two years, all of which may be rescinded in certain limited circumstances. In addition, the consulting agreement provides that we will pay Mr. Mehrali’s corporation fees of $100,000 per year plus HST upon raising an aggregate of $500,000 in gross proceeds from the sale of debt or equity securities, and grant that corporation a bonus tied to our earnings per share results in any fiscal year during the term of the agreement.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Compliance Reporting

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires a company’s directors and officers, and persons who own more than 10% of any class of a company’s equity securities which are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, to file with the SEC reports of ownership on Form 3 and reports of changes in ownership on Forms 4 and 5. Such officers, directors and 10% stockholders are also required to furnish the company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us and on written representations from certain reporting persons as August 31, 2015, we believe that all Section 16(a) reports applicable to our officers, directors and 10% stockholders with respect to our fiscal year ended August 31, 2015 have been filed.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

The following table sets forth certain information regarding our common stock beneficially owned as of November 30, 2015 for (i) each stockholder known to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of our outstanding shares of common stock, (ii) each of our officers and directors and (iii) our officers and directors as a group. A person is considered to beneficially own any shares over which such person, directly or indirectly, exercises sole or shared voting or investment power, or over which such person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time within 60 days through an exercise of stock options or warrants or otherwise. Unless otherwise indicated, voting and investment power relating to the shares shown in the table for our officers and directors is exercised solely by the beneficial owner thereof.

For the purposes of this table, a person or group of persons is deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of any shares of our common stock that such person has the right to acquire within 60 days. For the purposes of computing the percentage of outstanding shares of our common stock held by each person or group of persons named above, any shares that such person or persons has the right to acquire within 60 days is deemed to be outstanding, but is not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The inclusion herein of any shares listed as beneficially owned does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership.

Trust Agreement

As described in the “Business” section of this Report, the Trust Agreement provides and establishes a procedure whereby the voting rights attached to shares of our common stock are exercisable by the registered holders (the “Beneficiaries”) of the preferred shares of Subco (the “Exchangeable Shares”), other than those Exchangeable Shares held by us or our affiliates, through the trustee, John Marmora, who is also our principal executive officer and sole director (the “Trustee”). The Trustee’s address is included in the table above, and he holds legal title to a special voting share (the “Special Voting Share”) to which voting rights are attached for the benefit of the Beneficiaries.

The Special Voting Share confers on the Trustee the number of votes equal to the number of outstanding Exchangeable Shares, other than Exchangeable Shares held by us or our affiliates, on all matters on which the holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to vote. Under the Trust Agreement, the Trustee is required to hold the Special Voting Share as trustee solely for the use and benefit of the Beneficiaries and has no power or authority to sell, transfer, vote or otherwise deal with the Special Voting Share.

The Trust Agreement provides a mechanism under which a Beneficiary may instruct the Trustee regarding how to vote the votes conferred by the Special Voting Share relating to such Beneficiary’s Exchangeable Shares. This mechanism ensures that Beneficiaries have a complete bundle of rights that collectively is equivalent to the rights each Beneficiary would have if it owned shares of our common stock directly, and is exercised by Beneficiaries providing written instructions to the Trustee following the mailing of any communications by us to the holders of our common stock as well as the holders of Exchangeable Shares.

For commercial reasons, it is in the interests of a holder of Exchangeable Shares to obtain additional protection with respect to its ability to exercise retraction or exchange rights in the event of the liquidation or insolvency of us or Subco. As a result, the Trust Agreement also grants such holders “insolvency put rights”, including the right to automatically exchange their Exchangeable Shares for shares of our common stock upon the occurrence of certain events.

The right of a Beneficiary to exercise any voting rights in respect of the Exchangeable Shares held by such Beneficiary will cease immediately upon the exercise of any exchange right, automatic exchange, retraction or redemption of Exchangeable Shares for shares of our common stock, or the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Subco.

The foregoing description of the Trust Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Trust Agreement include as Appendix 3 to the Exchange Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to our current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 3, 2013.

Changes in Control

As of November 30, 2015, we were not aware of any arrangements, including any pledge by any person of our securities, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in our control.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

The following includes a summary of transactions since September 1, 2013, or any currently proposed transaction, in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeded or exceeds US$120,000 and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. We believe the terms obtained or consideration that we paid or received, as applicable, in connection with the transactions described below were comparable to terms available or the amounts that would be paid or received, as applicable, in arm’s-length transactions.

Other than as described above, we have not entered into any transactions with our officers, directors, persons nominated for these positions, beneficial owners of 5% or more of our common stock, or family members of those persons wherein the amount involved in the transaction or a series of similar transactions exceeded the lesser of US$120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets for the last two fiscal years.

Director Independence

Because our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we currently use the definition in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) for determining director independence, which provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an executive officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the company’s Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:

We have determined that our sole director does not meet this definition of independence due to the fact that he is also our principal executive officer.

We do not currently have a separately designated audit, nominating or compensation committee.

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

Audit and Non-Audit Fees

The following table sets forth the fees for professional audit services and the fees billed for other services rendered by our auditors, DeVisser Gray LLP, in connection with the audit of our financial statements for the years ended August 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, as well as reviews of our interim financial statements, services provided in connection with our statutory and regulatory filings or engagements, and any other fees billed for services rendered by our auditors during these periods.
