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
4
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-border 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)
5
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.
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
6
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.

During the years ended April 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded revenues of $50,304 and $2,725, respectively.
Operating Expenses and Net Loss
During the year ended April 30, 2017, the Company recorded operating expenses of $484,314 compared with $197,211 for the year ended April 30, 2016. The increase in operating expenses of $287,103 was attributed to an increase of $222,246 for consulting fees, $61,914 in general and administrative expense, and $171,336 in professional fees due to an increase in the overall operating activity of the Company during the fiscal year offset by a decrease in management fees of $87,904.
Net loss for the year ended April 30, 2017 was $2,292,458 compared with $125,638 during the year ended April 30, 2016. In addition to the increase in operating expenses, the Company recorded a $1,549,642 loss on the change in fair value of derivative liability and interest and accretion expense of $181,681 related to the outstanding convertible notes payable, and loss on settlement of debt of $105,009 related to the conversion of the convertible notes payable. During the year ended April 30, 2016, the Company recorded a $90,324 gain on the change in fair value of derivative liability, and $19,655 of interest and accretion expense. The increase in interest and accretion expense is due to the fact that there were more convertible notes issued in fiscal 2017 resulting in higher accretion and interest costs in fiscal 2017. The increase in the loss on change in the fair value of derivate liabilities is due to the fact that the Company's share price had a higher volatility in fiscal 2017 resulting in a higher overall change in derivative liability.
For the year ended April 30, 2017, the Company recorded a loss per share of $0.03 per share compared with a loss per share of $0.01 per share for the year ended April 30, 2016.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of April 30, 2017, the Company's total asset balance was $57,391, compared to $1,327 for the year ended April 30, 2016. The increase in total assets is largely due to an overall increase in cash from proceeds received from convertible notes payable and in prepaid expense for services prepaid.
11
As of April 30, 2017, the Company had total liabilities of $1,776,376 compared with total liabilities of $477,202 as at April 30, 2016. The increase in total liabilities was attributed to an increase of $1,111,554 in derivative liabilities, $150,500 in convertible notes payable, $72,106 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and $27,500 in notes payable, which was offset by a decrease of $62,486 in amounts due to related parties.
As of April 30, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,718,985 compared with $475,875 as of April 30, 2016. The increase in working capital deficit was largely attributed to an increase in the derivative liabilities relating to the fair value of the conversion features of the convertible debentures, convertible debentures and notes payable due to additional financing obtained to sustain the operating activities, and accounts payable due to the limited cash available within the Company to repay outstanding obligations as they became due, offset by repayment of amounts due to related parties.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
During the year ended April 30, 2017, the Company used $265,683 of cash for operating activities compared with $9,377 of cash for operating activities during the year ended April 30, 2016. The increase in cash used for operating activities was based on the fact that the Company had more cash flows from financing activities during the year.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
During the years ended April 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not have any investing activities.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
During the year ended April 30, 2017, the Company received $282,514 of cash from financing activities, which was comprised of the issuance of $332,500 of convertible debenture and $12,500 of notes payable, offset by repayment of $62,486 to related parties. During the year ended April 30, 2016, the Company received $9,700 in proceeds from financing activities comprised of $15,084 received from related parties and the issuance of $4,616 of notes payable, offset by repayment of $10,000 to 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.
12
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.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
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.

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. (“the Company”) as of April 30, 2017 and 2016, 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, 2017. These 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, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended April 30, 2017, 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 not recognized sufficient revenue, has a working capital deficient and has accumulated a significant deficit. 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.

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. Currently, the Company is in the business of online fraud protection services.
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, 2017, the Company has not recognized significant revenue, has a working capital deficit of $1,718,985, and has an accumulated deficit of $4,083,949. 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. The Company will continue to rely on equity sales of its common shares in order to continue to fund business operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date these financial statements are issued. 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.
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 up through November 18, 2015, when it was dissolved. 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.
F-7
2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(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, 2017 and 2016, the Company had no items representing cash equivalents.
(d) Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable represents amounts owed from customers for services. Amounts are presented net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, which represents the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the existing accounts receivable balance. The Company determines allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical experience and current economic conditions. The Company reviews the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis. As of April 30, 2017, the Company had $9,893 (2016 - $nil) in allowances for doubtful accounts.
(e)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, 2017, the Company had 569,159,167 (2016 – 20,292,620) potentially dilutive common shares outstanding.
(f) 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:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
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
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.
F-8
2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(f) Financial Instruments (continued)
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.
(g)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, 2017 and 2016, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.
(h)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 reasonably assured. The Company is not exposed to any credit risks as amounts are prepaid prior to performance of services.
Commencing May 1, 2016, the Company changed its accounting policy with respect to revenue recognition to record revenue on a gross basis as compared to a net basis as the Company reassessed the application of Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and determined that they did not meet the conditions for an agency relationship.

(i)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.

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, 2017. 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, 2017 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, 2017, 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
14
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, 2017, 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, 2017, 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, 2017 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
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, 2017, that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
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.

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.

During the past ten years no director, executive officer, promoter or control person of the Company has been involved in the following:
16
(1)A petition under the Federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency law which was filed by or against, or a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer was appointed by a court for the business or property of such person, or any partnership in which he was a general partner at or within two years before the time of such filing, or any corporation or business association of which he was an executive officer at or within two years before the time of such filing;

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, 2017, Forms 5 and any amendments thereto furnished to us with respect to the year ended April 30, 2017 and the representations made by the reporting persons to us, we believe that during the year ended April 30, 2017, 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.
