DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND HISTORY
The Company was incorporated on October 26, 2009 in the State of Nevada. The Company is an exploration stage corporation and is engaged in the search mineral deposits or reserves which are not in the development or production stage. The Company intends to explore for oil and gas on its mining property.
The Company does not have any revenues and has incurred losses since inception. Currently, the Company has no operations, has been issued a going concern opinion and relies upon the sale of our securities and loans from its sole officer and director to fund operations.
GOING CONCERN - These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies Viva Entertainment Group, Inc. (F/K/A Black River Petroleum Corp.) will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year. Realization value may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and 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 Viva Entertainment Group, Inc. (F/K/A Black River Petroleum Corp.) be unable to continue as a going concern. As at January 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014, Viva Entertainment Group, Inc. (F/K/A Black River Petroleum Corp.) has a working capital deficiency, has an accumulated deficit of $4,538,675 and $4,393,053, respectively. The continuation of Viva Entertainment Group, Inc. (F/K/A Black River Petroleum Corp.) as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of Viva Entertainment Group, Inc. (F/K/A Black River Petroleum Corp.) to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Viva Entertainment Group, Inc. (F/K/A Black River Petroleum Corp.) ability to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim information Regulation S-K. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of a normal and recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended January 31, 2015 may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending October 31, 2015.
USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses in the reporting period. We regularly evaluate our estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe 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 us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between our estimates and the actual results, our future results of operations will be affected.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less when acquired, to be cash equivalents. We had no cash equivalents at January 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued
IMPUTED INTEREST – The Company calculates imputed interest at a rate of 8% per annum. There was $93 imputed interest recorded as donated capital for the three months ended January 31, 2015.
IMPAIRMENT POLICY – In 2013, the Company authorized the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of restricted shares of common stock and paid $10,000 for the mineral property. At October 31, 2013, the Company did an assessment of whether this payment would meet the characteristics required to record it as an asset at year-end and determined that an impairment charge of $2,500,000 should be reflected as of October 31, 2013 because the Company could not substantiate that there would be a future economic benefit arising from this payment. During the year ended October 31, 2014 the Company impaired a $150,000 deposit on a lease.
INCOME TAXES - The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions issued by the FASB which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company computes tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefit of net operating losses has not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.
MINERAL CLAIM EXPENDITURES – The Company capitalizes all direct costs related to the acquisition and exploration of specific mining properties as incurred. These costs will be amortized against the income generated from the property. If the property is abandoned or impaired, an appropriate impairment charge will be made.
LOSS PER COMMON SHARE - The Company reports net loss per share in accordance with provisions of the FASB. The provisions require dual presentation of basic and diluted loss per share. Basic net loss per share excludes the impact of common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share utilizes the average market price per share when applying the treasury stock method in determining common stock equivalents. As of January 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014, there were no common stock equivalents outstanding.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - Pursuant to ASC No. 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments included on its balance sheet as of January 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash. The Company considers the carrying value of such amounts in the financial statements to approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS – In June 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The update gives entities a single comprehensive model to use in reporting information about the amount and timing of revenue resulting from contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The proposed ASU, which would apply to any entity that enters into contracts to provide goods or services, would supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. Additionally, the update would supersede some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition – Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. The update removes inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements and provides a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues and more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements. In addition, the update improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets and simplifies the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. This updated guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued
In June 2014, ASU No. 2014-12, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718); Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period”. The amendments in this ASU apply to all reporting entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718 as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. For all entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The effective date is the same for both public business entities and all other entities.
Entities may apply the amendments in this ASU either (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. If retrospective transition is adopted, the cumulative effect of applying this Update as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements should be recognized as an adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance at that date. Additionally, if retrospective transition is adopted, an entity may use hindsight in measuring and recognizing the compensation cost. This updated guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 on “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) – Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. This Update provides guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. The amendments in this Update are effective for public and nonpublic entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. We are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of ASU No. 2014-15, and we have not yet determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.
In July 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” more closely align the measurement of inventory in GAAP with the measurement of inventory in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The amendments in this ASU do not apply to inventory that is measured using last-in, first-out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method. The amendments apply to all other inventory, which includes inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost. An entity should measure inventory within the scope of this Update at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. For public business entities, this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
In August 2015, FASB issued ASU No.2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date” defers the effective date ASU No. 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. All other entities may apply the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities also may apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning one year after the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
All other newly issued accounting pronouncements but not yet effective have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company adopted ASC No. 820-10 (ASC 820-10), Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820-10 relates to financial assets and financial liabilities.
ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of this standard apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and are to be applied prospectively with limited exceptions.
ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This standard is now the single source in GAAP for the definition of fair value, except for the fair value of leased property as defined in SFAS 13. ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions, about market participant assumptions, that are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820-10 are described below:
• | Level 1 | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. |
• | Level 2 | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
• | Level 3 | Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. These inputs rely on management's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. (The unobservable inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and July include the Company's own data.) |
The following presents the Company's fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of January 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014:
Level 1: None
Level 2: None
Level 3: None
Total Gain (Losses): None

The non-cash loss attributable to the impairment is $2,500,000.
On October 17, 2013, the company entered into an agreement with American Land and Exploration Company (“American Land”) to purchase 100% working interest in the 1,840.69 M/L acres in the oil and gas leases in Henderson, Tennessee. The Company agreed to pay $250,000 as follows:

On April 6, 2016, the Company closed on the $135,000 Acquisition Financing Facility pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, dated April 6, 2016 (the "Essex Securities Purchase Agreement"), with Essex Global Investment Corp, a Nevada corporation ("Essex"), for the sale of a convertible promissory note (the "Essex Note") in the principal amount of $145,000, with an original issue discount of $10,000.
The Essex Note, which is due on March 30, 2017, bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum. All principal and accrued interest on the Note is convertible at any time into shares of the Company's common stock at the election of Essex at a conversion price for each share of Common Stock equal to 55% of the lowest reported trading price of the Company’s common stock for the twenty prior trading days including the day upon which the conversion notice is received by the Company or its transfer agent. The conversion price discount will be decreased to 45% if the Company experiences a DTC "chill" on its shares. If the Company is not current within 90 days from the date of the Note, the conversion discount will increase by 20%, so that the conversion price would be 35% of the trading price as calculated above.
The Company has the right to prepay the Essex Note during the first six months following the date of issuance of the Essex Note with a premium of up to 135% of all amounts owed to Essex, including default interest, depending upon when the prepayment is effectuated. The Essex Note may not be redeemed after 180 days.
The Essex Note contains default events which, if triggered and not timely cured, will result in default interest and penalties.
On April 8, 2016, in connection with the purchase of Viva Entertainment Group, Inc., our Board of Directors authorized the issuance of an aggregate of 37,820,629 shares of common stock, comprised of 22,000,000 issued to our Founder and Chief Executive Officer (5,000,000 of which are registered in name of the wife of the CEO), 13,820,629 as common shares for consulting services to various consultants and 2,000,000 common shares as consideration for an investor entering into a share purchase agreement. An additional 500,000 common shares was issued for general corporate purposes.

Overview
Viva Entertainment Group Inc. (F/K/A Black River Petroleum Corp.) (the “Company”) is a business that develops and markets Viva Entertainment’s over the top (IPTV/OTT) application for connected TV’s, desktop computers, tablets, and smart phones. The Company is based in Briarwood, New York.
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 26, 2009. From inception, we were originally engaged in the development of a website and also the design and development of a catalogue to sell over the counter and prescription medications, and supplements. In 2012, we undertook a change in our focus to the natural resources sector where it was engaged in the acquisition and exploration of base metals and mineral mining properties. After an unsuccessful exploration program on our mineral properties we decided to enter the market for over the top (IPTV/OTT) application for connected TV’s, desktop computers, tablets, and smart phones.
On April 5, 2016, we completed the purchase from EMS Find, Inc. (“EMS”) of Viva Entertainment Group, Inc. (“Viva Entertainment”), a Delaware corporation and a subsidiary of EMS, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement (“Stock Purchase Agreement”), and Viva Entertainment’s Chief Executive Officer, Johnny Falcones, resigned from all positions at EMS and has been elected as our sole director and President and Chief Executive Officer to manage the development and marketing of Viva Entertainment’s over the top (IPTV/OTT) application for connected TV’s, desktop computers, tablets, and smart phones.
This purchase represents a new business and industry which we operate in. Therefore, since the 8-K was recently filed with the SEC and we are now filing this 10-K among other SEC documents to be filed with the SEC subsequent thereto, we accordingly discuss the old and new operations herein as follows. References herein to oil and gas exploration are our older business operations and references to Viva Entertainment represent our new business operations.
Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company and EMS agreed to transfer control of Viva Entertainment to the Company through the purchase from the Seller by the Purchaser of all 800 outstanding shares of stock of Viva Entertainment to the Company in exchange for the issuance to EMS of a 10% promissory note in the principal amount of $100,000, due six months from the Closing (the “EMS Note”), which represents the purchase price paid by us for Viva Entertainment. In connection with the closing, Alexander Stanbury, our former President and Chief Executive Officer, transferred to Johnny Falcones 26,629,371 shares of restricted common stock of the Company from the shares of common stock owned by Mr. Stanbury in exchange for payment of $93,625 from the $135,000 of financing arranged with Essex Global Investment Corp. for the acquisition of the Company (the “Acquisition Financing Facility”).
On April 6, 2016, we closed on the $135,000 Acquisition Financing Facility pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, dated April 6, 2016 (the "Essex Securities Purchase Agreement"), with Essex Global Investment Corp, a Nevada corporation ("Essex"), for the sale of a convertible promissory note (the "Essex Note") in the principal amount of $145,000, with an original issue discount of $10,000.
The Essex Note, which is due on March 30, 2017, bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum. All principal and accrued interest on the Note is convertible at any time into shares of our common stock at the election of Essex at a conversion price for each share of Common Stock equal to 55% of the lowest reported trading price of the Company’s common stock for the twenty prior trading days including the day upon which the conversion notice is received us or our transfer agent. The conversion price discount will be decreased to 45% if the Company experiences a DTC "chill" on its shares. If we are not current within ninety days from the date of the Note, the conversion discount will increase by 20%, so that the conversion price would be 35% of the trading price as calculated above.

We have the right to prepay the Essex Note during the first six months following the date of issuance of the Essex Note with a premium of up to 135% of all amounts owed to Essex, including default interest, depending upon when the prepayment is effectuated. The Essex Note may not be redeemed after 180 days.
The Essex Note contains default events which, if triggered and not timely cured, will result in default interest and penalties.
On April 8, 2016, in connection with the purchase of Viva Entertainment Group, Inc., our Board of Directors authorized the issuance of an aggregate of 37,820,629 shares of common stock, comprised of 22,000,000 issued to our Founder and Chief Executive Officer (5,000,000 of which are registered in name of the wife of the CEO), 13,820,629 as common shares for consulting services to various consultants and 2,000,000 common shares as consideration for an investor entering into a share purchase agreement. An additional 500,000 common shares was issued for general corporate purposes.
Plan of Operation
As at January 31, 2015 we had a working capital deficiency, have not generated revenues and have an accumulated deficit of $4,538,675.
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that our auditors believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated any revenues or profits.
We have only four officers and directors. They are responsible for our managerial and organizational structure which will include preparation of disclosure and accounting controls under the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. When these controls are implemented, they will be responsible for the administration of the controls. Should they not have sufficient experience, they may be incapable of creating and implementing the controls which may cause us to be subject to sanctions and fines by the SEC which ultimately could cause you to lose your investment.
Limited Operating History
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We have not generated any revenues to date. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources.
Results of Operations
Revenues
As of the date of this report, we have yet to generate any revenues from our business operations.
Operating Expenses
For the three months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014
For the three months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, we incurred operating expenses in the amounts of $145,529, and $640,755 respectively. Our operating expenses were comprised of: (i) consulting services expenses of $20,000 and $750 for the quarter ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively (ii) rent expenses of $4,497 and $4,537 for the quarters ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, (iii) legal and accounting expenses of $-0- and $5,821 for the quarters ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, (iv) general and administrative expenses of $8,532 and $17,905 for the quarters ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, (v) geological research expenses of $-0- and $25,000 for the quarters ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and (vi) wage expenses of $112,500 and $570,205 for the quarters ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively;.

Net Loss
Our net loss for the three months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014 was $145,622 and $642,805, respectively. The decrease in net loss was the result of change in compensation in an effort to reduce and control wages.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of January 31, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,293. As of October 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $14,586.
Net cash used in operating activities was $(27,207) for the period ended January 31, 2015, which was comparable to the net cash used in operating activities of $(111,891) for the period ended January 31, 2014. The net cash usages in operations was principally attributable to net losses of $(145,622) and $(642,805) during the periods ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, offset principally by stock based compensation of $112,500 and $525,205 in such same periods, respectively.
Cash flows used for investing activities were $-0- and $-0- for the periods ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Cash flows provided by financing activities were $13,914 for the period ended January 31, 2015, which compares to cash flows provided by financing activities of $213,923 for the period ended January 31, 2014. These cash flows were principally related to borrowings on related party debt of $20,000 and $13,923 during the periods ending January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively less principal payments on related party debt in the amounts of $6,086 and $-0- during the periods ending January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In addition, during the three months ended January 31, 2014 we received $200,000 from the sale of our common stock to investors.
Currently we have no operations and have four salaried employees including Johnny Falcones, our officer and director. We currently require very limited resources but intend to hire employees and consultants in the latter part of 2016 for the Viva Entertainment operations. In due course, should we require capital for these operations, we will need to raise additional capital. There is no guarantee that we will be able to raise further capital. At present, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional capital but are diligently working on this.
If we need additional capital and cannot raise it we will either have to suspend operations until we do raise the capital or cease operations entirely. Other than as described in this paragraph, we have no other financing plans.
As of the date of this report, we have yet to generate any revenues.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The update gives entities a single comprehensive model to use in reporting information about the amount and timing of revenue resulting from contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The proposed ASU, which would apply to any entity that enters into contracts to provide goods or services, would supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. Additionally, the update would supersede some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition – Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. The update removes inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements and provides a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues and more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements. In addition, the update improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets and simplifies the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. This updated guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
(18) |
In June 2014, ASU No. 2014-12, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718); Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period”. The amendments in this ASU apply to all reporting entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718 as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. For all entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The effective date is the same for both public business entities and all other entities.
Entities may apply the amendments in this ASU either (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. If retrospective transition is adopted, the cumulative effect of applying this Update as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements should be recognized as an adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance at that date. Additionally, if retrospective transition is adopted, an entity may use hindsight in measuring and recognizing the compensation cost. This updated guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 on “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) – Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. This Update provides guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. The amendments in this Update are effective for public and nonpublic entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. We are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of ASU No. 2014-15, and we have not yet determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.
In July 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” more closely align the measurement of inventory in GAAP with the measurement of inventory in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The amendments in this ASU do not apply to inventory that is measured using last-in, first-out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method. The amendments apply to all other inventory, which includes inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost. An entity should measure inventory within the scope of this Update at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. For public business entities, this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
In August 2015, FASB issued ASU No.2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date” defers the effective date ASU No. 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. All other entities may apply the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities also may apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 earlier as of an annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning one year after the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
All other newly issued accounting pronouncements but not yet effective have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act (defined below)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting.
In addition, our management with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have determined that no change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during or subsequent to the quarter ended January 31, 2015 that has materially affected, or is (as that term is defined in Rules 13(a)-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
(20) |
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this Item.
