PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

 

Overview

 

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 26, 2009. The Company 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. 

 

Description of Business and History

We were incorporated on October 26, 2009 in the State of Nevada. We originally were 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 focus to the natural resources sector where we engaged in the acquisition and exploration of base metals and mineral mining properties.

 

On April 5, 2016, we completed the purchase of Viva Entertainment Group, Inc. (“Viva Entertainment”), a Delaware corporation, from EMS Find, Inc. (“EMS”) pursuant to a stock purchase agreement. Viva Entertainment’s Chief Executive Officer, Johnny Falcones, was appointed as our sole director, 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.

 

Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement, we and EMS agreed to transfer control of Viva Entertainment to us through the purchase of all outstanding shares of stock of Viva Entertainment by us 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”), and the issuance of 22,000,000 shares of common stock to Johnny Falcones. For accounting purposes, the transaction was treated as a reverse merger since the acquired entity now forms the basis for operations and the transaction resulted in a change in control, with the acquired company electing to become the successor issuer for reporting purposes. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared to reflect the assets, liabilities and operations of Viva Entertainment Group, Inc. exclusive of Black River Petroleum since all predecessor operations were discontinued. As part of the transaction, stock payable and amounts due to former officers were forgiven, with the balances recorded under additional paid in capital. For equity purposes, additional paid-in capital and retained deficit shown are those of Viva, exclusive of Black River Petroleum. Viva had no operations prior to the quarter ended April 30, 2016.

 

Viva Entertainment Group Inc. (F/K/A Black River Petroleum Corp.) (the “Company”) develops and markets Viva Entertainment’s over the top (IPTV/OTT) application for connected TV’s, desktop computers, tablets, and smart phones. We are based in Briarwood, New York.

Strategy

 

We develop and market Viva Entertainment’s over the top (IPTV/OTT) application for connected TV’s, desktop computers, tablets, and smart phones.

 

Competition

 

Our products and industry as a whole are subject to extreme competition.  There is no guarantee that we can develop or sustain a market position or expand our business.  We anticipate that the intensity of competition in the future will increase.

We compete with a number of entities in providing products to our customers.  Such competitor entities include: Chromecast, Apple TV, and Roku. Many of our current and potential competitors are well established and have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial and operational resources, and name recognition than we have.  As a result, these competitors may have greater credibility with both existing and potential customers.  They also may be able to offer more products and more aggressively promote and sell their products.  Our competitors may also be able to support more aggressive pricing than we will be able to, which could adversely affect sales, cause us to decrease our prices to remain competitive, or otherwise reduce the overall gross profit earned on our products.

We believe that our key competitive advantages are:

(1) Our ability to produce high quality yet low cost content on a high volume basis

(2) Ongoing industry relations with key companies and their respective executives to facilitate increase of affiliate relations

(3) Tenure in the marketplace with key advertising clients

(4) Certification as a minority-majority owned media company through our OI2 Venture

(5) Upgrading our technology at all times 

 

Government Regulations

 

The sale of software products is taxed at the federal, state and local levels, as well as at the international levels.  Our operations may be subject to more restrictive regulations and increased taxation by international, federal, state and local governmental agencies than are those of hardware and software related businesses. In such event, we have to raise prices on our products in order to maintain profit margins. The effect of such an increase could negatively impact our sales or profitability.

 

Research and Development 

 

We have not incurred any research and development expenditures over the past two fiscal years.

 

Employees

 

We currently have four employees consisting of Johnny Falcones, our officer and director, Edwin Batiz, our Urban Marketing President, Alberto Gomez, our Viva Entertainment President, and John Sepulveda, our Latin American President. Over the next 12 months, we intend to engage consultants to consult with us on specific corporate affairs or to perform specific tasks in connection with our Viva Entertainment operations. 

 

Intellectual Property

 

We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patents or trademarks.

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of 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.

Market Information.

 

Public Market for Common Stock 

 

Our common stock, par value $.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), is currently quoted on the OTCBB under the symbol “OTTV”. The OTCBB is a quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last-sale prices, and volume information in over-the-counter, or the OTC, equity securities. An OTCBB equity security generally is any equity that is not listed or traded on a national securities exchange. The following table shows, for the periods indicated, the high and low bid prices per share of our common stock as reported by the OTCBB quotation service. These bid prices represent prices quoted by broker-dealers on the OTCBB quotation service. The quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commissions, and may not represent actual transactions.

 

Price range of common stock

 

   High Close  Low Close
             
 Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2015

 2nd Quarter   $.1   $.1 
 3rd Quarter   $.07   $.07 
 4th Quarter   $.0084   $.0042 

 

The market price of our common stock will be subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in our quarterly operating results, general trends in the market, and other factors, over many of which we have little or no control. In addition, broad market fluctuations, as well as general economic, business and political conditions, may adversely affect the market for our common stock, regardless of our actual or projected performance. 

 

Holders of Common Stock

 

We have 60 record holders of our common stock as of February 17, 2017.

 

Dividends

 

We have never paid any cash dividends on our common shares, and we do not anticipate that we will pay any dividends with respect to those securities in the foreseeable future. Our current business plan is to retain any future earnings to finance the expansion and development of our business.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans.

 

We have no stock option plan or any equity compensation plans.

 

Registration Rights

 

We have not granted registration rights to any shareholders or to any other persons.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.

 

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION.

 

The following provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read along with our financial statements and notes thereto. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results, expectations and plans discussed in these forward-looking statements.  See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements.”

 

Overview

 

We have not yet generated or realized any revenues. In 2016, we purchased a business and now we develop and market Viva Entertainment’s over the top (IPTV/OTT) application for connected TV’s, desktop computers, tablets, and smart phones.

 

Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that our auditors believe there is a 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 for the year ended October 31, 2016.

 

We have four officers and four 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.

Revenues

 

As of the date of this report, we have yet to generate any revenues from our business operations.

 

Operating Expenses

 

For the years ended October 31, 2016 and 2015 we incurred operating expenses in the amount of $3,915,509 and $0, respectively. The increase in expenses was the result of an increase in general and administrative expenses for the year ended October 31, 2016 of $375,906 attributable to start up operations of our new business activities as a result of the above mentioned acquisition. Also, in the year ended October 31, 2016 we increased wages by approximately $525,480 for the same reason. Professional fees were incurred in areas principally including legal and accounting in the amount of $120,358. Content increased by $150,000 in the year ending October 31, 2016 as a result of building our business related activities with the intent to commence revenues. We issued 33,085,629 of our common shares to various individuals for services rendered valued at $2,743,585, using the closing stock price on the service agreement date, during the year ending October 31, 2016, thus the major reason for the increase in consulting services. It should be noted that 150,000 common shares previously issued for consulting services were cancelled during this same period.

 

Other expense increased during the year ended October 31, 2016 as a result of $43,426 in interest expense on our debt and related derivative activities less a gain on the change in derivative liabilities of $482,737. Other expense also increased during the year ended October 31, 2016 as a result of derivative issuance expense of $901,326 and amortization expense of $374,454 on the debt discount and software amortization.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of October 31, 2016, we had cash of $385. As of October 31, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $-0-.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $620,211 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, which was comparable to the net cash used in operating activities of $-0- for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015. The net cash usages in operations was principally attributable to the net loss of $4,751,978 during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, offset by of $901,326 and $482,737 of derivative expense, $374,454 of amortization on debt discount and software, $2,743,585 in common stock issued for services, $156,758 in accrued expense, $183,934 in accounts payable, $68,553 in other assets, in such same year. There were no operations during the year ended October 31, 2015 since, for accounting purposes, the aforementioned merger transaction was treated as a reverse merger since the acquired entity now forms the basis for operations and the transaction resulted in a change in control, with the acquired company electing to become the successor issuer for reporting purposes. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared to reflect the assets, liabilities and operations of Viva Entertainment Group, Inc. exclusive of Black River Petroleum since all predecessor operations were discontinued, thus no income statement related operations are present in the prior year herein. We also had a $323,000 during the year ending October 31, 2016 for debt issued for consulting services.

 

Cash flows used for investing activities were $171,504 and $-0- for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Cash flows used for investing activities were in conjunction of the effect of the reverse merger activity.

 

Cash flows provided by financing activities were $792,100 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, which compares to cash flows provided by financing activities of $-0- for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015. These cash flows were principally related to the issuance of notes payable and of convertible notes in the amounts of $100,000 and $652,100, and related party borrowings of $40,000 during the fiscal year ending October 31, 2016.

 

Currently we have no revenue 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 2017 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.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

We have reviewed accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the corporation’s reported financial position or operations in the near term.  The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration.  Those standards have been addressed in the notes to the audited financial statement and in this, our Annual Report, filed on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2016.

 

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. 

 

Subsequent Events

 

Subsequent to October 31, 2016, we issued a total of 65,894,047 shares of our restricted common stock to several individuals for services rendered and on the conversion of notes payable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors

Viva Entertainment Group Inc. (f/k/a Black River Petroleum Corp.)

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Viva Entertainment Group Inc. (f/k/a Black River Petroleum Corp.) as of October 31, 2016 and 2015 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these condensed financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Viva Entertainment Group Inc. as of October 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the periods then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 8 to the condensed financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 8. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

VIVA ENTERTAINMENT GROUP INC.

(F/K/A BLACK RIVER PETROLEUM CORP.)

Notes to Financial Statements

For the Years Ended October 31, 2016 and 2015

 

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Description of Business and History

 

The Company was incorporated on October 26, 2009 in the State of Nevada. The Company 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, the Company undertook a change in focus to the natural resources sector where it was engaged in the acquisition and exploration of base metals and mineral mining properties.

 

On April 5, 2016, the Company completed the purchase of Viva Entertainment Group, Inc. (“Viva Entertainment”), a Delaware corporation, from EMS Find, Inc. (“EMS”) pursuant to a stock purchase agreement. Viva Entertainment’s Chief Executive Officer, Johnny Falcones, was appointed as the Company’s sole director, 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.

 

Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement, the Company and EMS agreed to transfer control of Viva Entertainment to the Company through the purchase of all outstanding shares of stock of Viva Entertainment by 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”), and the issuance of 22,000,000 shares of common stock to Johnny Falcones. For accounting purposes, the transaction was treated as a reverse merger since the acquired entity now forms the basis for operations and the transaction resulted in a change in control, with the acquired company electing to become the successor issuer for reporting purposes. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared to reflect the assets, liabilities and operations of Viva Entertainment Group, Inc. exclusive of Black River Petroleum since all predecessor operations were discontinued. As part of the transaction, stock payable and amounts due to former officers were forgiven, with the balances recorded as Contributed Capital. For equity purposes, additional paid-in capital and retained deficit shown are those of Viva, exclusive of Black River Petroleum.

 

In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the presented periods have been made.  All adjustments made were of a normal recurring nature.

 

Viva Entertainment Group Inc. (F/K/A Black River Petroleum Corp.) (the “Company”) 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.

 

The company chose October 31st as its fiscal year end.

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. 

 

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. As of October 31, 2016 and October 31, 2015, the company had no cash equivalents.  

 

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.

 

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 October 31, 2016 and 2015, there were no dilutive 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 October 31, 2016 and 2015. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and derivative liabilities.  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.

 

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 October 31, 2016 and 2015:

    Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Multinomial Lattice model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.

 

Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Multinomial Lattice model.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

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 -INCOME TAXES

 

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions.

 

The Company currently has net operating loss carryforwards aggregating $2,116,676 (2015: $0), which expire through 2031. The deferred tax asset related to the carryforwards has been fully reserved. 

 

The Company has deferred income tax assets, which have been fully reserved, as follows as of October 31, 2016 and 2015:  

    2016   2015
Deferred tax assets   $ 740,837     $ —    
Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets     (740,837 )     —  
Net deferred tax assets   $ —       $ —    

 

 

NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

In connection with the acquisition of Viva Entertainment and the resignation of our former officers and directors, the Company received forgiveness of stock payable of $3,390,000 and amounts due to former CEO of $132,854. These amounts were written off prior to closing and have therefore not been included in the Statement of Equity. However, the former CEO funded additional $30,000 to the Company for working capital during the year ended October 31, 2016.

 

The detail composition of the $148,242 in accrued wages with related parties as of October 31, 2016 is as follows: Johnny Falcones $50,681, Alberto Gomez $63,781 and John Sepulveda $33,780. This accrual covered services rendered by the employees for the period from April, 2016 through October 31, 2016 less payments made to such employees during the period.

 

We issued to Edwin Batiz 2,500,000 restricted common shares, upon the execution of this agreement, as fully paid and non-assessable shares restricted common stock for services rendered to us under this agreement.

The detail composition of the $512,400 in stock payable with related parties as of October 31, 2016 is as follows: Johnny Falcones $487,200, Alberto Gomez $16,800 and John Sepulveda $8,400. This stock payable is due to unissued shares earned on the employment agreements during the year ended October 31, 2016. 

In addition, John Sepulveda funded $10,000 to the Company for working capital during the year ended October 31, 2016.

 

The $1,500 of donated capital was a pre-reverse merger item from the company’s CEO for services and payment of incorporation fees.  

NOTE 5 – SOFTWARE  

In accordance with FASB ASC 210-10-05-3, the Company has established a technological feasibility date, the software development costs have been analyzed and it has been determined that all software development costs were incurred subsequent to the feasibility date. The useful life of capitalized software costs has been assumed to be 3 years. Total software development costs were $68,553 and the appropriate amortization has been taken, also in accordance with FASB ASC 210-10-05-3.

 

Capitalized Software was comprised of the following amounts as of October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

    October 31, 2016    October 31, 2015 
Software costs   $68, 553   $—   
Accumulate amortization   (7,131)   —   
           
Total software Costs, net accumulated amortization  $61,422   $—   

 

The above mentioned software was purchased during the year ending October 31, 2016 by way of a series of payments made to a software developer called Axor. The beta stage software is for development of over the top technology, abbreviated as OTT in the industry, to air wireless live television, movies, on demand content and radio. Revenues will start immediately after finishing the transfer of movies and networks to the system which is expected in the upcoming quarter. No impairment was recorded during the year ended October 31, 2016 as the product has been completed but has not yet launched to the customer as of October 31, 2016.

 

The Company has an arrangement with Axor for $4,000 in monthly payments. At October 31, 2016, $17,075 is due to Axor. No future monthly commitments exist under the month-to-month arrangement.

April 30, 2016  $975,100   $(607,777)   43,426   $367,323 

 

The Company evaluated the terms of the conversion features of its convertible debentures in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815 - 40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Stock and determined they are indexed to the Company's common stock and the conversion features meet the definition of a liability, and therefore bifurcated the conversion features and accounted for them as a separate derivative liability. 

 

Between April 6, 2016 and October 31, 2016, the Company issued convertible promissory notes totaling $975,100. The notes bear interest at rates between 0-12% per annum and become due and payable one year from the date of issuance. The Company received cash proceeds of $652,100, net of original issuance discounts of $44,500 which included payments to various vendors. The debt discount was recorded as a reduction (contra-liability) of the convertible debenture and amortized over the life of the convertible debenture. All principal and accrued interest on the Notes is convertible at any time into shares of the Company's common stock at the election of the holder at a conversion price for each share of Common Stock between 50-55% 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 Company has the right to prepay the Notes during the first six months following the date of issuance with premium between 135-150% of all amounts owed, including default interest, depending upon when the prepayment is effectuated. The Notes may not be redeemed after 180 days. Accrued interest and interest expense is $37,727 and $0 as of October 31, 2016 and October 31, 2015, respectively.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

 

There were no disagreements related to accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, internal controls or auditing scope or procedure during the two fiscal years and interim periods, including the interim periods up through the date the relationship ended.

 

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed and submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Under the supervision of and with the participation of its executive officer, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on that evaluation, the sole executive officer of the Company has concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this Annual Report, these disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer (our president) and our principal accounting and financial officer (our chief financial officer and treasurer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluation the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and fraud.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, but no absolute, assurance that the objectives of a control system are met.  Further, any control system reflects limitations on resources and benefits of a control system must be considered relative to its costs.  These limitations also include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of a control.  A design of a control system is also based upon certain assumptions about potential future condition; over time controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

 

As of October 31, 2016, the year-end period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.  Based on the foregoing, our president and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.

 

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, and assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2016.  In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.  A material weakness is a deficiency or a 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. We have identified the following material weaknesses:

 

 

1.   As of October 31, 2016, our controls over the control environment were not effective.  Specifically, we have not developed and effectively communicated to our employees our accounting policies and procedure.  This has resulted in inconsistent practices.  Further, the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.

 

2.   As of October 31, 2016, our controls over financial statement disclosure were not effective.  Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements. Accordingly, management has determined that this deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

 

Because of these material weaknesses, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2016, based on the criteria established in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by COSO.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s 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. 

 

Management has conducted an assessment, including testing of the effectiveness, of our internal control over financial reporting as of Evaluation Date. Management's assessment of internal control over financial reporting was conducted using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013 Framework).

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016 that have affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Audit Committee Financial Expert 

The functions of the Audit Committee are currently carried out by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has determined that we do not have an audit committee financial expert on our Board of Directors carrying out the duties of the Audit Committee. The Board of Directors has determined that the cost of hiring a financial expert to act as a director and to be a member of the Audit Committee or otherwise perform Audit Committee functions outweighs the benefits of having a financial expert on the Audit Committee. Our Board of Directors has three members.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We have not adopted a code of ethics that applies to our President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, Treasurer, Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, because of the small number of persons involved in the management of the Company.

 

Compliance with Section 16 (a) of the Exchange Act 

 

Under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, requires that our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our Common Stock (referred to herein as the “Reporting Persons”) file with the SEC various reports as to their ownership of and activities relating to our Common Stock.

Indemnification

Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Nevada law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

 

On December 1, 2013, we entered into an employment agreement with Alexander Stanbury, our former President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, Treasurer, Chief Financial Officer and sole member of the Board of Directors (the “Employment Agreement”).

 

Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Stanbury will receive annual base compensation of $120,000, which may be increased but not decreased from time to time as determined by our Board of Directors. Mr. Stanbury is entitled to receive 3,000,000 shares (the “Employment Shares”) of our common stock, 1,000,000 to vest on the date of the Employment Agreement, 1,000,000 to vest on the first anniversary of the Employment Agreement, and 1,000,000 to vest on the second anniversary of the Employment Agreement. The Employment Agreement also provides for bonus awards, as well as a benefit package, including medical, disability, and other equity programs. The term of the Employment Agreement is three (3) years and shall automatically be renewed for successive one (1) year terms thereafter, unless otherwise notified in writing three (3) months prior to the termination of the agreement. As of October 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014, 2,915,068 and 1,915,068 common shares have been vested and compensation expense of $450,000 and $860,856, respectively, was recorded based on the closing price of the shares on the date of grant.

 

The Employment Agreement may be terminated by us and by Mr. Stanbury. Should the Employment Agreement be terminated by us without cause, by Mr. Stanbury for good reason, or pursuant to a change of control, Mr. Stanbury is entitled to receive one times his base salary and other benefits at the time of termination (including any bonus); any earned but unpaid base salary, and accrued but unpaid vacation time.  Should the Employment Agreement be terminated by us for cause or by Mr. Stanbury other than for good reason, Mr. Stanbury is entitled to receive any earned but unpaid base salary, including any bonus and accrued but unpaid vacation time.  

 

On December 11, 2013, we issued 367,489 shares of our common stock, pursuant to a debt settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Mr. Stanbury, our sole officer and director, in exchange for a settlement of $148,833 owed to Mr. Stanbury. The common stock issued had a fair value of $165,370, which resulted in a loss of $16,537.

 

During the year ended October 31, 2015 our President and Director advanced us a total of $110,000 to fund operations and repaid a total of $7,146. As of October 31, 2015, we owe him a total of $102,854. During the year ending October 31, 2014, we forwarded $63,883 and repaid $63,883 to our President and Director leaving a balance of $0 at October 31, 2014.

 

In connection with the acquisition of Viva Entertainment and the resignation of our former officers and directors, we received forgiveness of stock payable of $3,390,000 and amounts due to directors of $132,854.
