PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Corporate History
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 24, 2010, under the name Appiphany Technologies Holdings Corp. On May 1, 2010, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "SEA") with Appiphany Technologies Corp. ("ATC"), a company incorporated in British Columbia, Canada in June 2009, pursuant to which we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of ATC in exchange for 1,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock. On January 14, 2016, we acquired certain assets and accounts from Media Convergence Group, LLC in exchange for 20,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
Our Business
ATC commenced operations as a diversified technology company in June of 2009. Our business model has refocused to a global brand protection company. This business model will encompass all areas of protecting "Intellectual Property" of global brand owners through Risk Management, Technology Innovation and Strategic Supply Chain Strategies. With our combined expertise we will manage and deliver cost-effective, collaborative and creative strategies to protect the assets of global brands. We will also ensure client ROI through protection of markets, prevention of brand erosion and lost sales resulting in enhanced returns to the bottom line. Specifically, our core focus is online brand protection or internet monitoring. Our web-based platform allows us and our clients to search, identify and take action against illicit, counterfeit, and diverted sales of products purporting to be their product online. This ability to monitor dozens of auction sites worldwide and do product queries in real time is a very significant competitive advantage in the online brand protection market. Our other offerings include Risk Management Services, Custom App Software Development (Serialization / T & T) and Print Technology services (Forensics, labels and hangtags).
Our Clientele
Our current clientele is highly focused on the luxury goods industry as well as the footwear and apparel market. We have a background in the sport apparel market in North America and have created vertical-specific referral partners to expand this market rapidly. As well immediate plans are to focus on the health and beauty (cosmetics) industry, and electronics and imaging supplies companies.

The Global Landscape in Counterfeiting and Piracy
Counterfeit, diverted and gray-market products are flooding the marketplace due to globalization, brand promotion and the increased use of product licensing. It is estimated to be 1.7 Trillion Dollars in cross boarder trade according to the International Anti-Counterfeiting Coalition. This is the case with virtually any high-demand and highly-recognized product that is distributed beyond its primary market without a unified, global pricing structure.
Product diversion not only affects profitability in primary markets based on pricing, but it also erodes brand identity and value. When luxury goods turn up at unauthorized discounters or flea markets, and pharmaceuticals are being offered through the Internet, the perception of the value of the product is diminished in the consumers' eyes.
Global organizations in specific industries specialize in diverting products from emerging markets to primary markets. These "brokers" employ various means to obtain product including front companies, corruption or deception of internal sales staff and legitimate customers, and even theft. Since criminal remedies do not typically apply to diversion cases, it is critical to identify the "originating source" of products and shut them down. This usually involves complex investigative techniques designed to identify the wrongdoers by working both internally and externally in the client's operations, examining potential sources such as manufacturers, licensees, sales staff and accounts
Market Opportunity
We have created a business model that assembles companies that has a proven track record (performance, longevity and revenues) in their specific silo or portfolio. We have a well-designed integrated platform. It will maximize revenues in each separate portfolio, and create several new high-income streams that are only possible with globally positioned, full service Brand Management portfolio integration. The opportunity for an immediate and significant market share of this Brand Management/Brand Protection (BM/BP) sector is viable and highly profitable.
Cyber Security (Internet Monitoring)
Another critical component of our Company is Internet Monitoring. Through the use of our technology, companies will have the ability to monitor globally across the Internet – at both the brand and individual product level. They will have advanced monitoring capabilities, sophisticated protocols for processing the collected data. They will have dedicated data analyst support for each client implementation to provide the best solutions available for online brand protection. We have three primary monitoring platforms as follows:
Watchdogä Protect
(Full internet monitoring and auction removal platform)
Watchdog Protect online monitoring solution provides enhanced B2B and B2C auction site monitoring for the purpose of identifying and removing counterfeit, stolen or gray market goods and intellectual property infringements damaging to a company's brand. Integral to this platform is our "dynamic filtering system". This feature enables companies to refine their search results by geography, website, price, etc, in "real-time-and the "removals" section which intelligently automates the bulk of the removals process and correspondence with sellers. Companies can remove items infringing their intellectual property with a "click of a button". This fully integrated reporting feature allows complete oversight of monitoring and removals "activity''. "Dynamic filter" database results in real-time can be also graded by relevance. This also allows you to delve deeper into seller profiles and items, as well as expedite the removals process.
Watchdogä Locate
(Loss Prevention platform)
We have extracted local analysis functionality from our enterprise product, and now available as Watchdog "Locate". This service addresses demand in the retail and manufacturing sectors for loss prevention solutions, to automate detection of suspicious items online. This "intelligent" monitoring tool automates the identification of potentially stolen and fraudulently obtained items being listed by employees, vendors and contractors on online auction sties. This solution has the ability to automatically cross-reference sales of companies' products with staff postal code and address details.
5
Watchdog Webä
(Extends monitoring to multiple social media platforms)
Watchdog web takes the auction site monitoring capability of Watchdog Protect and applies it to the wider web. It will Identify and remove threats to organization and personnel online. Central to this solution, is our "webpage proximity scoring" feature which allows companies to grade web pages by unique combinations such as prevalence of a particular currency symbol, combination of words and serial numbers or IP registrant. Social media, blog and forum monitoring allows companies to target consumer and employee sentiment. This also allows them to detect phishing and affiliate scams, driving web traffic "away" from their site and potentially damaging their reputation.
Risk Management
This portfolio will be a crucial Portfolio to bring most elements of Risk Management and Brand Protection together to positively impact the collateral revenue opportunities. This critical pillar will be able to expand its product offerings and client base by delivering specialty niche services that complex international companies demand. This includes brand protection programs, Cyber Intelligence and due diligence in emerging markets. It will also offer unique approaches such as deployment of undercover operatives in corporate or industrial facilities or on the street, anywhere in the world, to acquire information not available by conventional means. We will employ industry "best practices", that are in use today and in development for tomorrow. We will have a complete line of consulting services, including on site security surveys, internal and external theft-prevention programs, threat analysis and protection of proprietary property.
Custom App Software Development
(Serialization / T & T)
Being the supplier to a company's supply chain allows us to create cradle to grave solutions, child to parent packaging controls and deal with Operations, Analytics, Finance and Marketing. This is critical to create major "prospect entry point" opportunities for supply chain product penetration. With a unique scalable product line, we will have the ability to react quickly to client needs and maximize available revenues.
Print Tech Services – Forensics, Labels & Hangtags
Our proprietary forensic products under Trade Secret, makes use of emerging technology to create and detect specific detailed signatures invisible to the eye. This is our "Digital Forensic Marker™" for "tagging" product. Tagging typically occurs by incorporating particles containing a "signature" into a target substrate or product. The process for doing this will vary from material to material. Location, detection, and signature match times can all be tailored to fit the application. We offer a unique and varied blend of forensic code applications to fit our clients‟ needs for encoding and detecting.
Advertising and Marketing
Our marketing strategy will begin with word of mouth, which will always be our most important means of promotion. We will rely on the quality of our products and services that we have completed for our existing customers to create positive customer feedback, which could resonate to potential clients. If we generate sufficient revenues, we intend to implement an advertising and marketing campaign to increase awareness of the Company and to acquire new customers through multiple channels, including traditional and online advertising. We believe that the use of multiple marketing channels reduces reliance on any one source of customers, maximizes brand awareness and promotes customer acquisition.
Plan of Operations
To date, the Company has begun implementing its business plan and is attempting to secure additional funding to continue expansion of our services and products. The Company has not had any significant revenues generated from its business operations since inception. Until the Company is able to generate any consistent and significant revenue, it may be required to raise additional funds by way of equity or debt financing.
Government Regulation
Our operations are subject to government regulation in many areas, including user privacy, telecommunications, and data protection. The application of these laws and regulations to our business is often unclear and sometimes may conflict. It may take years to determine whether and how existing laws such as those governing intellectual property, privacy, advertising, etc. will apply. Nonetheless, laws and regulations directly applicable to communications and intellectual property are becoming more prevalent. Due to the increasing popularity and use of communications technology, it is possible that laws and regulations may be adopted covering issues such as user privacy, content, and much more. Compliance with these regulations may involve significant costs or require changes in business practices that could result in reduced revenue. Noncompliance could result in penalties being imposed on us or orders that we stop the alleged noncompliant activity. At this time, however, we do not believe that compliance with these rules and regulations will have a material impact upon our business.

Operating Revenues
During the years ended April 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded revenues of $904 and $258, respectively.
Operating Expenses and Net Loss
During the year ended April 30, 2016, the Company recorded operating expenses of $197,211 compared with $233,774 for the year ended April 30, 2015. The decrease in operating expenses of $36,563 was attributed to a decrease of $24,565 for management fees, and $39,838 in general and administrative expense due to a decrease in the overall operating activity of the Company during the fiscal year offset by increases in professional fees of $27,840 for legal fees incurred for SEC filing services.
Net loss for the year ended April 30, 2016 was $125,638 compared with $797,865 during the year ended April 30, 2015. In addition to the decrease in operating expenses, the Company recorded a $90,324 gain on the change in fair value of derivative liability, and interest and accretion expense of $19,655 related to the outstanding convertible notes payable. During the year ended April 30, 2015, the Company recorded a $431,203 loss on the change in fair value of derivative liability, and $133,146 of interest and accretion expense. The decrease in interest and accretion expense is due to the fact that a significant amount of convertible notes were fully accreted in fiscal 2015 resulting in lower accretion costs in fiscal 2016. The decrease in the change in the fair value of derivate liabilities is due to the fact that the Company's share price had a lower volatility in fiscal 2016 resulting in a lower overall change in derivative liability.
9
For the year ended April 30, 2016, the Company recorded a loss per share of $0.01 per share compared with a loss per share of $1.00 per share for the year ended April 30, 2015.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of April 30, 2016, the Company's total asset balance was $1,327, compared to $126 for the year ended April 30, 2015. The increase in total assets is largely due to an overall increase in accounts receivable for amounts receivable from clients for operating activities.
As of April 30, 2016, the Company had total liabilities of $477,202 compared with total liabilities of $586,807 as at April 30, 2015. The decrease in total liabilities was attributed to a decrease of $217,789 in derivative liability, which was offset by an increase of $71,344 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, $34,202 in amounts due to related parties, and $4,616 in notes payable.
As of April 30, 2016, the Company had a working capital deficit of $475,875 compared with $586,681 as of April 30, 2015. The decrease in working capital deficit was largely attributed to a decrease in the derivative liability relating to the fair value of the conversion feature of the convertible debenture which was offset by an increase in accounts payable due to the limited cash available within the Company to repay outstanding obligations as they became due.
Cashflows from Operating Activities
During the year ended April 30, 2016, the Company used $9,377 of cash for operating activities compared with $61,645 of cash for operating activities during the year ended April 30, 2015. The decrease in cash used for operating activities was based on the fact that the Company only had limited cash flows from financing activities during the year and had only commenced operating activity on its Watchdog license near the end of fiscal 2016.
Cashflows from Investing Activities
During the years ended April 30, 2016 and 2016, the Company did not have any investing activities.
Cashflows from Financing Activities
During the year ended April 30, 2016, the Company received $9,700 of cash from financing activities, which was comprised of $5,084 received from related parties and the issuance of $4,616 of notes payable. During the year ended April 30, 2015, the Company received $56,443 in proceeds from financing activities comprised of $77,500 from the issuance of convertible debentures offset by repayment of $29,850 to related parties, and additional proceeds of $8,793 from related parties.
Going Concern
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive acquisitions and activities. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements that they have substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant 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 are material to stockholders.
Future Financings
We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund planned acquisitions and exploration activities.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Appiphany Technologies Holdings Corp.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Appiphany Technologies Holdings Corp. as of April 30, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended April 30, 2016. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Appiphany Technologies Holdings Corp. as of April 30, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended April 30, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
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 consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered net losses since inception and has accumulated an accumulated deficit of $1,791,491 as of April 30, 2016. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

APPIPHANY TECHNOLOGIES HOLDINGS CORP.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1. Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business
Appiphany Technologies Holdings Corp. ("The Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 24, 2010. On May 1, 2010, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Appiphany Technologies Corporation ("ATC") to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of ATC in exchange for 1,500,000 common shares of the Company. As the acquisition involved companies under common control, the acquisition was accounted for in accordance with ASC 805-50, Business Combinations – Related Issues, and the consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of the Company and ATC since inception. On November 18, 2015, ATC was dissolved.
Going Concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As at April 30, 2016, the Company has not recognized significant revenue, has a working capital deficit of $475,875, and has an accumulated deficit of $1,791,491. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its management, and its ability to identify future investment opportunities and obtain the necessary debt or equity financing, and generating profitable operations from the Company's future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a) Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP") and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The consolidated financial statements are comprised of the records of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Appiphany Technologies Corp., a company incorporated in British Columbia, Canada. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. The Company's fiscal year end is April 30.
b) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the fair value and estimated useful life of long-lived assets, fair value of convertible debentures, derivative liabilities, stock-based compensation, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company's estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
c) Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As at April 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company had no items representing cash equivalents.
d) Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive. As of April 30, 2016, the Company had 20,292,620 (2015 – 8,713,784) potentially dilutive common shares outstanding.
e) Financial Instruments
Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, an entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure 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 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
F-7
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability 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 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company's financial instruments consist principally of cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accrued compensation, and amounts due to related parties. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of our cash is determined based on "Level 1" inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The fair value of our derivative liability is determined to be a "Level 2" input. We believe that the recorded values of all of our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
f) Comprehensive Loss
ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at April 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.
g) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from online fraud protection services. Revenue will be recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service has been provided, and collectability is assured. The Company is not exposed to any credit risks as amounts are prepaid prior to performance of services.
Revenue is recorded on an agency basis in accordance with Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company acts as an agent for the principal on the basis that the Company does not provide direct service to its customers, has no authority to determine the price of the products or services provided, and is not responsible for inventory risk.
h) Stock-based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation and ASC 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options.
ASC 718 requires company to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model as its method of determining fair value. This model is affected by the Company's stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to the Company's expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviours. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the statement of operations over the requisite service period.
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.
i) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has limited operations and is considered to be in the development stage. For the year ended April 30, 2016, the Company has elected to early adopt Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. The adoption of this ASU allows the Company to remove the inception to date information and all references to exploration stage.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company 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. Acquisition of License Agreements
a) On January 14, 2016, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with a company controlled by the President and Director of the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to purchase two licenses including the accounts receivable generated by the two licenses, in exchange for 20,000,000 common shares of the Company.
F-8
In accordance with ASC 805-50, "Business Combinations: Related Issues", the purchase agreement was deemed an acquisition of assets between entities under common control for accounting purposes as the transaction was non arms-length. The licenses and accounts receivable acquired were recorded at their carrying value of $nil.
b) On January 18, 2016, the Company entered into a license agreement (the "Agreement") with Comsec Solutions Limited ("Comsec") where the Company acquired the right to market and distribute Watchdog, a market leading web-monitoring tool owned by Comsec, in North and South America. In exchange for the rights, the Company agreed to pay a monthly base fee of up to £4,750, depending on the service provided, and 15% commission fee for all revenues including a minimum revenue base of £140,000 in the first year and £100,000 in subsequent years.
NOTE 4. Related Party Transactions
a) During the year ended April 31, 2016, the Company incurred $nil (2015 - $27,065) of management fees to the former President and Director of the Company. During the year ended April 30, 2015, the amount owing of $78,835 owing for accrued management fees and financing of day-to-day expenditures incurred on behalf of the Company was forgiven and included in additional paid-in capital.
b) During the year ended April 30, 2016, the Company issued 10,000,000 (2015 – 375,000) common shares with a fair value of $100,000 (2015 - $97,500) to the President and Director of the Company.
c) As at April 30, 2016, the Company owed $nil (2014 - $499) of professional fees paid on its behalf by the former Secretary and Treasurer of the Company, which is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
d) As at April 30, 2016, the Company owed $41,197 (2015 - $19,155) and $21,289 (Cdn$ - $26,715) (2015 - $8,769; Cdn$10,625) to the President and Director of the Company for financing of day-to-day expenditures incurred on behalf of the Company.

NOTE 5. Convertible Debentures
a) On December 17, 2013, the Company issued a convertible debenture to a non-related party for proceeds of $32,500. Under the terms of the debenture, the amount is unsecured, bears interest at 8% per annum, and is due on September 19, 2014. Interest on overdue principal after default accrues at an annual rate of 22%. After 180 days or June 15, 2014, the debenture is convertible into common shares of the Company at a conversion price equal to 51% of the lowest two trading prices of the Company's common shares for the past 30 trading days prior to notice of conversion. On September 19, 2014, as the amount of the convertible debenture had not been repaid or converted by maturity, the Company incurred a penalty of 50% of the principal balance owing resulting in the Company recording $16,250 which had been included in interest expense.
Due to this provision, the embedded conversion option qualifies for derivative accounting under ASC 815-15 "Derivatives and Hedging". The fair value of the derivative liability resulted in a full discount to the note payable of $32,500. The carrying value of the convertible note will be accreted over the term of the convertible note up to the face value of $32,500. During the year ended April 30, 2015, the Company issued 595,667 shares of common stock for the conversion of $39,130. As at April 30, 2016, the carrying value of the note was $9,620 (2015 - $9,620).

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated 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 Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2016. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2016 using the criteria established in " Internal Control - Integrated Framework " issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO").
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2016, the Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.
|
1.
|
We do not have an Audit Committee – While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is the management's view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an utmost important entity level control over the Company's financial statement. Currently the Board of Directors acts in the capacity of the Audit Committee, and does not include a member that is considered to be independent of management to provide the necessary oversight over management's activities.
|
|
2.
|
We did not maintain appropriate cash controls – As of April 30, 2016, the Company has not maintained sufficient internal controls over financial reporting for the cash process, including failure to segregate cash handling and accounting functions, and did not require dual signature on the Company's bank accounts. Alternatively, the effects of poor cash controls were mitigated by the fact that the Company had limited transactions in their bank accounts.
|
|
3.
|
We did not implement appropriate information technology controls – As at April 30, 2016, the Company retains copies of all financial data and material agreements; however there is no formal procedure or evidence of normal backup of the Company's data or off-site storage of the data in the event of theft, misplacement, or loss due to unmitigated factors.
|
Accordingly, the Company concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company's internal controls.
As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of April 30, 2016 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
12
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation we conducted of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2016, that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.
Continuing Remediation Efforts to address deficiencies in Company's Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Once the Company is engaged in a business of merit and has sufficient personnel available, then our Board of Directors, in particular and in connection with the aforementioned deficiencies, will establish the following remediation measures:
1. Our Board of Directors will nominate an audit committee or a financial expert on our Board of Directors in the next fiscal year.
2. We will appoint additional personnel to assist with the preparation of the Company's monthly financial reporting, including preparation of the monthly bank reconciliations.

As such developers are hired on an "as-needed" basis, we do not have agreements in place with the developers, nor do we plan on entering into agreements with the developers. In the future, we intend on having a team of in-house developers who are employees of the Company.
Family Relationship
We currently do not have any officers or directors of our Company who are related to each other.

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
The Company does not have an audit committee or an audit committee financial expert (as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K) serving on its Board of Directors. All current members of the Board of Directors lack sufficient financial expertise for overseeing financial reporting responsibilities. The Company has not yet employed an audit committee financial expert on its Board due to the inability to attract such a person.
The Company intends to establish an audit committee of the board of directors, which will consist of independent directors. The audit committee's duties will be to recommend to the Company's board of directors the engagement of an independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company's financial statements and to review the Company's accounting and auditing principles. The audit committee will review the scope, timing and fees for the annual audit and the results of audit examinations performed by the internal auditors and independent registered public accounting firm, including their recommendations to improve the system of accounting and internal controls. The audit committee will at all times be composed exclusively of directors who are, in the opinion of the Company's board of directors, free from any relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment as a committee member and who possess an understanding of financial statements and generally accepted accounting principles.
Code of Ethics
Our Board of Directors has not adopted a code of ethics due to the fact that we presently only have one director who also serves as the sole executive officer of the Company and the Board of Directors chose not to reduce to writing standards designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct. The Board of Directors believes that the Company's small size and the limited number of personnel who are responsible for its operations make a formal Code of Ethics unnecessary. We anticipate that we will adopt a code of ethics when we increase either the number of our directors and officers or the number of our employees.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of change in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely upon a review of Forms 3 and 4 and amendments thereto furnished to us under Rule 16a-3(e) during the year ended April 30, 2016, Forms 5 and any amendments thereto furnished to us with respect to the year ended April 30, 2016 and the representations made by the reporting persons to us, we believe that during the year ended April 30, 2016, our executive officers and directors and all persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements.
