(a) Business Development
GLOBAL BIOTECH CORP. ("Global"), formerly (Sword Comp-Soft Corp.) was organized on November 2, 1998. Its goal was to bring interactive healthcare information services utilizing the Internet to the consumer, the end user, to access what they, as individuals, need.
As of March 5, 2003 this business was sold along with the assumption of a note payable in the amount of $700,000 to Millenia Hope Inc., its former parent corporation. Global’s vehicle tracking system was supposed to seamlessly tie together wireless communications and the Internet. As of February 24, 2005,Global concluded that this venture was unsuccessful. On August 15, 2007 Global acquired from Advanced Fluid Technologies Inc. a Delaware corporation, assets pursuant to entering the bottled water, more specifically the oxygenated bottled water, market. The corporation has not abandoned this business segment, but is now concentrating its efforts on its current acquisition.
On September 10, 2013, Global acquired from Purthanol International Ltd. their know-how and all technical aspects of the Purthanol extraction process, the two (2) purchase orders on hand (for forward delivery of Athanol, Purthanol’s ethanol product, within the next 12 months, or later if agreed to by both parties). The consideration for all the above was 70 million newly issued common shares of Global valued at $700,000. A part of said agreement is a non-compete clause with Global.
(b) Business of Issuer
Global’s primary mission is to use the Purthonal process methodology, acquired in September 2013, to produce an ethanol fuel alternative, our product named Athanol, in order to fulfill 2 orders on hand totaling $28.5 million USD. These orders are not contractual obligations, in any form. Should the Company not fulfill these orders, there are no penalties attached or other non-performance compensation due. These orders are due for delivery within 12 months and we may not be able to fully satisfy them and the customers may not agree to extend the deliver time. Nonetheless, at the least the customer will compensate us for whatever is delivered to that date. Further, based on informal discussions with the customers they have indicated that they are very eager to get deliveries of the product and expect that extending the orders should not be a problem. While the Company believes this to be the case, there is no certainty that it will transpire this way.
Ethanol Product Environmental Benefits
Ethanol is one of the best tools we have to fight air pollution from vehicles. And there is no fuel available at scale today that matches ethanol's ability to improve overall environmental quality compared to gasoline. From its biodegradable nature to reductions in greenhouse gas and tailpipe emissions, ethanol provides a tool to address environmental concerns. Ethanol contains 35% oxygen. Adding oxygen to fuel results in a more complete fuel combustion, reducing harmful tailpipe emissions and helps to displace the use of toxic gasoline components such as benzene, a carcinogen. Ethanol is a renewable fuel produced from plants, unlike petroleum-based fossil fuels that have a limited supply and are the major contributor of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, a greenhouse gas (GHG). Independent analyses comparing ethanol and gasoline show ethanol reduces GHG emissions from 30-50%. A study published by Yale University's Journal of Industrial Ecology found that GHG emissions from ethanol produced at modern dry-mill facilities are "... equivalent to a 48 percent to 59 percent reduction compared to gasoline, a twofold to threefold greater reduction than reported in previous studies. In 2012, the 13.2 billion gallons of ethanol produced reduced greenhouse gas emissions from on-road vehicles by 33.4 million tons. That's equivalent to removing 5.2 million vehicles from the road for one year. According to a University of California-Berkeley study, "Ethanol Can Contribute to Energy and Environmental Goals," the production of ethanol reduces petroleum use 95% as compared to gasoline refining.
Using ethanol helps lower gasoline prices by expanding gasoline supplies and reducing the need for importing expensive, high-octane, petroleum-based gasoline components or more crude oil. Adding some 13 billion gallons to the nation's motor fuel pool - and blending it with gasoline in E10 - has a similar effect to the U.S. oil industry finding a way to extract 10% more gasoline from a barrel of oil. Since the supply of motor fuel is increased, there is a downward pressure on prices. A study by Iowa State University and the University of Wisconsin found that in 2010, domestic ethanol production helped keep gasoline prices $0.89 lower per gallon than they otherwise would have been. For the first decade of the 2000’s, the researchers found ethanol’s price-lowering impact averages $0.25 per gallon. Source: “The Impact of Ethanol Production on US and Regional Gasoline Markets: An Update to May 2009,” Xiaodong Du and Dermot J. Hayes, April 2011. A May 2010 report found that the average American household is saving approximately $200-400 per year on gasoline because of ethanol's inclusion in the U.S. fuel supply.
MARKET
Today, ethanol is blended in nearly every gallon of unleaded gasoline sold in the U.S.

PURTHANOL’S ETHANOL PRODUCT-ATHANOL
Athanol, unlike most ethanol products produced from corn, is produced from sweet sorghum, historically cultivated as a source of sugar. In 1853, the crop was introduced to North American from Tropical Africa. Owing to its origins, the species is a hardy crop, capable of growing in harsh environments, such as hot and dry regions of the world. Thus, sweet sorghum is better suited than corn as a source of renewal fuel in regions where corn is poorly adapted.
The United States produces and consumes more ethanol fuel than any other country in the world. The production of fuel ethanol from corn in the United States is controversial for a few reasons. Production of ethanol from corn is 5 to 6 times less efficient than producing it from sugarcane. Ethanol production from corn is highly dependent upon subsidies and it consumes a food crop to produce fuel. A much more efficient way of ethanol production has been suggested to use sugar beets or sweet sorghum which make about the same amount of ethanol as corn without using the corn food crop especially since they can both grow in less tropical conditions than sugar cane.The crops of corn, sugarcane and grain sorghum have enjoyed extensive research and development, including improved genetics and refined agronomic practices, such as fertilizer materials, rates and application timing.
ATHANOL ORDERS ON HAND
Purthanol has 2 orders on hand, from 2 energy corporations, one in Brazil for $25 million USD and the other Mexico for $3.5 million USD. Since 2009 the Brazilian ethanol industry has experienced financial stress due to the credit crunch caused by the economic crisis of 2008, poor sugarcane harvests due to unfavorable weather; high sugar prices in the world markets that made it more attractive to produce sugar rather than ethanol; and other domestic factors that resulted in a decline of its annual production despite a growing demand in the local market. Brazilian ethanol fuel production in 2011 was 21.1 billion liters (5.6 billion U.S. liquid gallons), down from 26.2 million liters (6.9 billion gallons) in 2010. A supply shortage took place for several months during 2010 and 2011 and prices climbed to the point that ethanol fuel was no longer attractive for owners of flex-fuel vehicles; the government reduced the minimum ethanol blend in gasoline to reduce demand and keep ethanol fuel prices from rising further; and for the first time since the 1990s, ethanol fuel was imported from the United States. Fulfilling the purchase orders on hand should ensure that we will be called upon to deliver more ethanol fuel products, such as our Athanol, for the foreseeable future.
These orders are due for delivery within 12 months and we may not be able to fully satisfy them and the customers may not agree to extend the deliver time. Nonetheless, at the least the customer will compensate us for whatever is delivered to that date. Further, based on informal discussions with the customers they have indicated that they are very eager to get deliveries of the product and expect that extending the orders should not be a problem. While the Company believes this to be the case, there is no certainty that it will transpire this way.
AQUABOOST
Once funding is in place to produce the ethanol orders on hand, Global will look to position AquaBoost (TM), its bottled oxygenated water, as an energizing alternative to soft drinks and as a beverage with more health benefits than ordinary water. To date, the aforementioned product has had minimal sales and the Company will endeavor, but can offer no guarantees, to raise its sales level.
OXYGENATED WATER, THE PRODUCT
Oxygen enriched water is water that is treated, combined or infused with oxygen. Most oxygen enriched water companies claim that their water contains around seven times the oxygen of natural, mineral, tap or spring water. For many of the available brands the oxygen content is acknowledged to decrease over time (giving products a shorter shelf life) and also decreases when the oxygen-enriched water bottle is opened, as the oxygen slowly dissipates. Oxygenated water is a convenient source of additional oxygen for the body. The benefits of additional oxygen, according to the studies run and research done, include increased cardiovascular and muscular endurance. Oxygenated water raises the body's energy levels, improves concentration, calms the nervous system, and helps to remove toxins (See Tests and Studies sections of 10-K November 30, 2012).
BOTTLED WATER MARKET
Worldwide sales in the fast-growing bottled water industry have risen annually, over the past decade, surpassing $60 billion US in 2011. The United States market, the leading consumer of bottled water was $11.1 billion. Bottled water sales grew at a 16% non-compounded annual rate between 2002-2011 to reach 280 billion litres. Oxygenated bottled water is a sub-category, one of the groups of specialty beverages, of the broader bottled water market. Zenith International, a British food industry consultant, stated, in its January 2005 report, that the worldwide sales of bottled oxygenated water in 2004 reached 110 million litres, a growth of 30% from previous year and 65% during the past 2 years. The 2004 sales figures for oxygenated bottled water were 32 million litres for the United States and 40 million litres for Europe, respectively. As per the previously mentioned Zenith report, oxygenated water sales should have doubled between 2004 and the year 2008, yielding an annual growth rate of 20%.
AQUABOOST(TM)
AquaBoost(TM) is "oxygenated" water: it has been treated to retain oxygen in concentrations far higher than those found in nature. For example, water can retain 9 parts per million (ppm) of oxygen at 20(degree) under a pressure of one atmosphere. Studies conducted by the Quebec government have confirmed that our water contained at least 20 ppm - the highest concentration detectable by the government lab's measurement instruments. Our own tests established that AquaBoost(TM) contained in excess of 80 ppm and even exceeded 100 ppm, even six months after bottling (See Tests and Studies section 10-K November 30, 2012).
POTENTIAL CONSUMERS
AquaBoost(TM) offers important benefits to consumers. In raising their oxygen levels, people not only feel better and have increased energy levels, they also think more clearly and function at peak performance for longer periods of time, improving their work and leisure time productivity.
An in house survey of potential AquaBoost(TM) customers and the 2005 report of Zenith International tell us that they are health-conscious, men and women who will benefit from the additional oxygen in their bodies. They lead active lifestyles, engage in sports and other physical activities and are looking for healthy, nourishing alternatives to soft drinks and other traditional beverages.A secondary group that we have identified, through the same research, are the elderly, who may encounter oxygen deprivation through illness and physical trauma. Oxygen reduces the effectiveness of pathogenic bacteria and viruses. As a simple source of oxygen. AquaBoost(TM) can offer these consumers better health.
As with many scientific claims, there are detractors from the benefit of ingesting oxygen enriched water. The tests and studies we have quoted in our 10-K- November 30, 2012 are the validation for our beliefs in the benefit of oxygenated water.
Business Objectives and Milestones
Global’s primary mission is to use the Purthonal process methodology to produce an ethanol fuel alternative in order to fulfill 2 orders on hand totaling $28.5 million USD. . These orders are not contractual obligations, in any form. Should the Corporation not fulfill these orders, there are no penalties attached or other non-performance compensation due. These orders are due for delivery within 12 months and we may not be able to fully satisfy them and the customers may not agree to extend the deliver time. Nonetheless, at the least the customer will compensate us for whatever is delivered to that date. Further, based on informal discussions with the customers they have indicated that they are very eager to get deliveries of the product and expect that extending the orders should not be a problem. While the Company believes this to be the case, there is no certainty that it will transpire this way.
October 2013-acquisition of Purthonal process methodology to produce an ethanol fuel alternative finalized- cost 70 million treasury shares of Global Biotech (now renamed Purthanol Resources Limited)
Q2 -2014 secure funding for the micro-distilleries (production equipment that turns raw material-specifically sweet sorghum into ethanol) that will be capable of producing the $22 million of ethanol needed to fulfill our purchase orders. $1 million is needed to fund an insurance bond that will secure a lease to purchase contract for $10 million worth of equipment.
Q2 -2014 secure funding for the raw material necessary to commence production of the aforesaid ethanol product- $1 million to cover material costs and labor to harvest the plant material, and another $500,000 to cover all initial start-up and ancillary costs.
By end of Q3-2014 –Commence production of ethanol and deliver first shipments to clients, use cash flow to continue production of Athanol (our ethanol product name) until the orders are completed, expected to be in Q2 2015.
Funding for the $2.5 million needed to commence the project, until sales cash flow comes on line, is expected either from parties looking to acquire an exclusive territory (country or continental region) license for the Purthanol process, from investors interested either in a profit sharing arrangement or purchase of Purthanol shares as an equity stake or a combination of the above. Talks are ongoing with several parties, who have expressed an interest in the various above scenarios.
In order to carry out our business plan and fulfill our orders on hand we would need
- $2.5 million. Please see the above section, Business Objectives and Milestones, which clearly delineates the funds needed and the sources of those that are availa
- To strengthen its investor relations program, to increase shareholder value and increase public investors’ interest in the Company; and
- To complete development of additional oxygenated and non-oxygenated drinks with nutraceutical values, which can be added to the Company’s product offering, distributed by others, or licensed to others.

Global’s primary mission is to use the Purthonal process methodology, acquired in September 2013, to produce an ethanol fuel alternative, our product named Athanol, in order to fulfill 2 orders on hand totaling $28.5 million USD. These orders are not contractual obligations, in any form. Should the Company not fulfill these orders, there are no penalties attached or other non-performance compensation due. These orders are due for delivery within 12 months and we may not be able to fully satisfy them and the customers may not agree to extend the deliver time. Nonetheless, at the least the customer will compensate us for whatever is delivered to that date. Further, based on informal discussions with the customers they have indicated that they are very eager to get deliveries of the product and expect that extending the orders should not be a problem. While the Company believes this to be the case, there is no certainty that it will transpire this way.
Business Objectives and Milestones
Q2 -2014 secure funding for the micro-distilleries (production equipment that turns raw material-specifically sweet sorghum into ethanol) that will be capable of producing the $22 million of ethanol needed to fulfill our purchase orders. $1 million is needed to fund an insurance bond that will secure a lease to purchase contract for $10 million worth of equipment.
Q2 -2014 secure funding for the raw material necessary to commence production of the aforesaid ethanol product- $1 million to cover material costs and labor to harvest the plant material, and another $500,000 to cover all initial start-up and ancillary costs.
By end of Q3-2014 –Commence production of ethanol and deliver first shipments to clients, use cash flow to continue production of Athanol (our ethanol product name) until the orders are completed, expected to be in Q2 2015.
Funding for the $2.5 million needed to commence the project, until sales cash flow comes on line, is expected either from parties looking to acquire an exclusive territory (country or continental region) license for the Purthanol process, from investors interested either in a profit sharing arrangement or purchase of Purthanol shares as an equity stake or a combination of the above. Talks are ongoing with several parties, who have expressed an interest in the various above scenarios.

Further, they also acquired all purchase orders on hand (for forward delivery of purthanol within the next 12 months, or later if agreed to by both parties).

On December 16, 2013, finalized an agreement with the owner of Biocardel Quebec, a privately held company, to acquire 100% of all outstanding shares of that corporation for $5 million, payable $100,000 at signing of the Agreement, $2,400,000 in 9 months, as a balance of sale and $2,500,000 in preferred convertible shares of Global. These shares are convertible at a 25% discount to the 90 trading -day average sales price of the common shares, whenever Global chooses to exercise the conversion rights. Biocardel owns a production facility in Richmond, Quebec, that turns biologic oil waste products and byproducts into biodiesel fuel, a commodity in demand in both North America and Europe.

In order to carry out our business plan and fulfill our orders on hand we would need $2.5 million. Please see the above section, Business Objectives and Milestones, which clearly delineates the funds needed and the sources of those that are available to us.
At November 30, 2013 the company had negative working capital of $1,986,567. Management did not generate revenue through sales during the fiscal year.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the last quarter of fiscal 2013 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures 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 Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive & Financial Officer and, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The management of is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Global Biotech’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
1. | pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of Global Biotech; |
2. | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of Global Biotech are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of Global Biotech; and |
3. | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Global Biotech’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
We have assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2013. In making this assessment, we used the framework set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on that assessment, we believe that as of November 30, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting is effective.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our report on internal control was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for non-accelerated filers that permits us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

In the event the public company does not have an audit committee, the Board of Directors becomes charged with the duties of the audit committee. Since the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 which was signed into law by President Bush in July 2002, the Company's directors have without success, attempted to obtain independent directors to serve on the Board of Directors and on a newly formed audit committee. In the event the Company is successful in the future in obtaining independent directors to serve on the Board of Directors and on a newly formed audit committee, of which there can be no assurances given, the Board of Directors would first adopt a written charter. Such charter would be expected to include, among other things:
- | annually reviewing and reassessing the adequacy of the committees formal charter; |
- | reviewing the annual audited financial statements with the adequacy of its internal accounting controls; |
- | reviewing analyses prepared by the Company's management and independent auditors concerning significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of its financial statements; |
- | being directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the independent auditor, which shall report directly to the Audit Committee, including resolution of disagreements between management and the auditors regarding financial reporting for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work; | |
- | reviewing the independence of the independent auditors; |
- | reviewing the Company's auditing and accounting principles and practices with the independent auditors and reviewing major changes to its auditing and accounting principles and practices as suggested by the independent auditor or its management; |
- | reviewing all related party transactions on an ongoing basis for potential conflict of interest situations; and |
- | all responsibilities given to the Audit Committee by virtue of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which was signed into law by President George W. Bush on July 30, 2002. |
Code of Ethics
Effective March 3, 2003, the Securities & Exchange Commission requires
registrants like the Company to either adopt a code of ethics that applies to the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer or explain why the Company has not adopted such a code of ethics for purposes of item 406 of Regulations S-K, the term "code of ethics" means written standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrong doing and to promote:
- | Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships: |
- | Full, flair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the company files with, or submits to, the Securities & Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by the Company; |
- | Compliance with applicable governmental law, rules and regulations; |
- | The prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the code; and | |
- | Accountability for adherence to the code. |

f) Section 16 (a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities ("ten-percent shareholders") to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and ten-percent shareholders also are required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms furnished to us, and written representations that no other reports were required, we believe that during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2013, all of our officers, directors and ten-percent shareholders complied with the Section 16(a) reporting requirements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Purthanol Resources Limited
(Formerly Global Biotech Corp.)
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Purthanol Resources Limited (Global Biotech Corp.) (the “Company”) as of November 30, 2013 and 2012 and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from November 2, 1998 (inception) through November 30, 2013. 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 audit 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 audit provides 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 Purthanol Resources Limited as of November 30, 2013 and 2012, and the result of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from November 2, 1998 (inception) through November 30, 2013 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company’s losses from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

PURTHANOL RESOURCES LIMITED
(formerly GLOBAL BIOTECH CORP.)
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
As of November 30, 2013
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
PURTHANOL RESOURCES LIMITED (formerly GLOBAL BIOTECH CORP.) (the ``Company``) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on November 2, 1998 to be an Application Service provider in the E-Health sector. On March 5, 2003 this business was sold, market, unsuccessfully. On February 25, 2005 it discontinued its vehicle tracking business. On August 15, 2007 the Company entered the oxygenated beverage market. Global’s current mission is to use the Purthonal process methodology, acquired in October 2013, to produce an ethanol fuel alternative. The Company changed name form Global Biotech Corp. to Purthanol Resources Limited on September 30, 2013
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Accounting Method
The Company's policy is to use the accrual method of accounting to prepare and present financial statements, which conforms to US generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP'). The company has elected a November 30 year- end.
b. Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank indebtedness to be cash and cash equivalents. Highly liquid investments are valued at quoted market prices.
c. Estimates and Adjustments
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates made by management are, among others, realizability of long-lived assets, and deferred taxes. Management reviews its estimates on a quarterly basis and, where necessary, makes adjustments prospectively.
d. Basis of Presentation and Considerations Related to Continued Existence (going concern)
The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company's management intends to raise additional operating funds through operations, and debt or equity offerings. Management has yet to decide what type of offering the Company will use or how much capital the Company will raise. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise any capital through any type of offerings.
e. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
Fair Value Hierarchy
ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 applies to assets and liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market and do not entail a significant degree of judgment.
Level 2 applies to assets and liabilities for which there are other than Level 1 observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 2 instruments require more management judgment and subjectivity as compared to Level 1 instruments. For instance:
• Determining which instruments are most similar to the instrument being priced requires management to identify a sample of similar securities based on the coupon rates, maturity, issuer, credit rating and instrument type, and subjectively select an individual security or multiple securities that are deemed most similar to the security being priced; and
• Determining whether a market is considered active requires management judgment.
Level 3 applies to assets and liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of
The Company believes the fair value of its financial instruments consisting of cash, short term investment, and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments.
f. Property & Equipment
Property is stated at cost. Additions, renovations, and improvements are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs, which do not extend asset lives, are expensed as incurred.
g. Depreciation
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives, 5 years for tenant improvements, and 5 - 7 years for equipment.
h. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the estimated undiscounted cash flows, expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of such assets..
i. Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue
The Company's revenues recognized from inception to November 30, 2013 were software consultation. Revenue, in respect of all services described, is recognized on completion of services, when collectability is reasonably assured.
j. Foreign Currency Exchange
We record our transactions in US dollars.
Foreign currency accounts have been translated as follows:
• | Monetary items - at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date | |
• | Non-monetary item - at exchange rates in effect of the dates of transactions | |
• | Revenue and expenses - at average exchange rate prevailing during the year. |
Gains and losses arising from foreign currency translation are included in income.
k. Earning (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings (loss) per share for entities with publicly held common stock. The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 260 effective November 2, 1998 (inception).
Basic net earnings (loss) per share amounts are computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are the same as basic earnings (loss) per share due to the lack of dilutive items in the Company.
l. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.
m. Convertible Debt
In accordance with Codifications topic 470 ”Debt with conversion and Other Options” the Company evaluates debt securities (“Debt”) for beneficial conversion features. A beneficial conversion feature is present when the conversion price per share is less than the market value of the common stock at the commitment date. The intrinsic value of the feature is then measured as the difference between the conversion price and the market value (the “Spread”) multiplied by the number of shares into which the Debt is convertible and is recorded as debt discount with an offsetting amount increasing additional paid-in-capital. The debt discount is accreted to interest expense over the term of the Debt with any unamortized discount recognized as interest expense upon conversion of the Debt. If a debt security contains terms that change upon the occurrence of a future event the incremental intrinsic value is measured as the additional number of issuable shares multiplied by the commitment date market value and is recognized as additional debt discount with an offsetting amount increasing additional paid-in-capital upon the future event occurrence. The total intrinsic value of the feature is limited to the proceeds allocated to the Debt instrument.
n. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company generated net losses of $535,686 for the year ended November 30, 2013 and a net loss of $4,098,564 during the period from November 2, 1998 (inception) through November 30, 2013. At November 30, 2013 the Company had negative working capital of $1,986,567 and stockholders’ deficit of $1,286,567. This condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to meet its obligations, to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The officers and directors are committed to help in raising funds to fill any operating cash flow shortages during the next fiscal year until the organization can generate sufficient funds from operations to meet current operating expenses and overhead, although there are no guarantees that this commitment will be met.
NOTE 4. SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS

The Company recognized $312,200 as revenue.
NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are provided in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The net operating loss expires twenty years from the date the loss was incurred. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
No portion of the valuation allowance will be allocated to reduce goodwill or other non-current intangible asset of an acquired entity. There are no temporary differences or carry-forward tax effects that would significantly effect the Companies deferred tax asset.
Utilization of the net operating losses and credit carry-forwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the "change in ownership" provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses and credits before utilization. At November 30, 2013 the Company had net operating losses carry-forward of $4,098,564. The tax benefits resulting for these losses have been estimated as follows:
