FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


This annual report contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. These statements often can be identified by the use of terms such as "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "approximate" or "continue," or the negative thereof. We intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors for such statements. We wish to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Any forward-looking statements represent management's best judgment as to what may occur in the future. However, forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and important factors beyond our control that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from historical results of operations and events and those presently anticipated or projected. We disclaim any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statement or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.


GENERAL

Throughout this Form 10-K Annual Report, the terms “We,” “Registrant” and “Company” all refer to Interups Inc.


We, the Companywere incorporated in the state of Nevada on April 11, 2012. Until the change of control which took place as reported in a Form 8-K Report, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 24, 2014, we were in the business of developing an internet based group buying site. As reported in that Form 8-K, the then-principal shareholder, Romanas Bagdonas, sold all of his 4,000,000 shares of our Company, representing 57.97% of our issued and outstanding shares, to Laxmi Prasad, who then became our principal shareholder, and is now the beneficial owner of 1,565,509 shares (22.69%).  As part of that transaction, Mr. Bagdonas resigned as the sole officer and director, and designated Likhitha Palaypu, Laxmi Prasad’s daughter, as the sole officer and director. Also, we sold all of our then-existing assets and business back to Mr. Bagdonas for $1. At that time, we were a “shell,” as that term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.


CURRENT BUSINESS


On April 27, 2016, we filed a Form 8-K with the SEC, disclosing that we have signed agreements to acquire certain assets in India, as more fully disclosed below.  As a result of these agreements, we are no longer a “shell,”


On April 25, 2016, the Registrant became the permitted assignee from SIRI Global Asset Management Corp. (“SIRI”), a private company which is controlled by Laxmi Prasad, of an agreement (the “BSKLS Agreement”) with Birla Shloka Knowledge Schools, Ltd., an Indian corporation based in Mumbai, India (“BSKLS”), and ACE Trustee Services Private Limited, an Indian Corporation based in Mumbai, India (“ACE”). Neither BSKLS nor ACE are affiliates of the Registrant. The BSKLS Agreement provides, in pertinent part, as follows:


SIRI, i.e., the Registrant by permitted assignment, and ACE will form a joint venture (the “BSKLS JV”). The purpose of the BSKLS JV will be to invest in, acquire, own, lease, operate and maintain educational institutions and other education and infrastructure related assets in various cities in India. To pursue the objectives in the foregoing sentence, SIRI (the Registrant by assignment) and ACE will operate the BSKLS JV and intend to organize an Infrastructure Investment Trust (InvIT), the purpose of which will be to acquire one or more public or privately held Educational Institutions and education related infrastructure assets and services management companies (“LESCs”), to source other investments and to have the InvIT acquire related permissible assets.


As noted above, the BSKLS Agreement provides that it includes permitted assigns; and on April 25, 2016, the Registrant accepted SIRI’s assignment of the BSKLS Agreement to the Registrant, with the consent of the other parties. Therefore, the following description of the BSKLS Agreement substitutes the Registrant in place of SIRI:




1



Initially, the Registrant will own 74% of the BSKLS JV, and ACE will own 26%. However, it is the Registrant’s responsibility to raise the capital required by the BSKLS Agreement, described in the next paragraph, from Investors, on or before Oct 31, 2016 (the Agreement initially provided that the deadline date was June 30, 2016; that date has now been extended to October 31, 2016).  Assuming that Registrant raises the required funds within the time limit, as to which there can be no assurance, the relative ownership of the BSKLS JV will be as follows: Investors: 48%, ACE 26% and the Registrant 26%. The Board of Directors of the BSKLS JV is intended to be equally divided between the Registrant’s designees and the ACE designees; and in the event of a tie in voting, the Chairman, who will be designated by the ACE, will have the deciding vote.


The Registrant is responsible to capitalize the BSKLS JV, by providing the following amounts from Investors on or before the extended deadline of October 31, 2016 for the following purposes: (a) INR (Indian Rupees) 18 Crores (see below) to pay a one-time royalty/technical know-how fee to certain LESCs, the first of which is intended to be Birla Edutech Limited, an affiliate/associate company of ACE. [NOTE: A Crore, an Indian monetary term, equals 10,000,000 rupees; a rupee is currently worth approximately $.015. So, the 18 Crores noted above is approximately $2,700,000]; (b) sourcing and arranging 50 Crores (approximately $7,500,000), to buy specified education assets in Lavasa City, India, for which the Registrant is the allowed assignee of a conditional binding agreement with LAVASA Corporation, as described below; (c) sourcing and arranging 18 Crores (approximately $2,700,000) to enable the BSKLS JV to make a bid to acquire, from public shareholders, the majority shareholding in the publicly listed (on the Mumbai Stock Exchange) Education Services Company of the Birla Group; (d) sourcing and arranging $1,500,000 to pay professional advisers; (e) 120 days after the open offer is made to the targeted education services, and assuming that the open offer is accepted after it is made, raising an additional $10,000,000 towards purchasing additional capital in the targeted education services company described in (c) above and (f) organizing the InvIT and initiating the acquisition of the assets described in (b) above. None of the above payments have been made by the Company as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  If the Registrant is unable to raise the funds in (a), (b) and (c) above, totaling $12,900,000, from Investors on or before Oct 31, 2016 (the earlier date prior to extension was June 30, 2016), and if ACE does not grant a further extension, ACE has the right to terminate the BSKLS Agreement, and the Registrant would then have no further rights or liabilities in the BSKLS Agreement.


In the BSKLS Agreement, ACE has agreed to ensure that the first LECS, which is intended to be Birla Edutech Limited, a group company of Birla Shloka Edutech Ltd, (“BSEL”), will provide the following services to the BSKLS JV regarding the LESCs: (a) guidance in obtaining approvals from the education and other Indian State and local authorities to complete the proposed acquisitions; (b) guidance in obtaining authorizations from the relevant Government Boards for education (c) assistance in recruiting well qualified teaching and other staff , and providing training; (d) providing information technology, hardware and other e-learning aids; and (e) assistance in setting up the administrative and other support services at the schools which are set up by the BSKLS JV.


There are provisions in the BSKLS Agreement by which the Registrant and ACE intend to maintain equal ownership (26% each, assuming that investors own 48%); however, there are other provisions by which one party may acquire shares of the other, in certain circumstances. There are also provisions that the parties will cooperate with each other in the event that the BSKLS JV attempts an initial public offering.


As the Registrant’s first proposed acquisition in accordance with the BSKLS Agreement, on April 25, 2016the Registrant became the permitted assignee, from SIRI, of a Conditional Binding Agreement (the “Lavasa Agreement”) between SIRI and Lavasa Corporation Limited (“Lavasa”), located in the city of Lavasa, India. The Lavasa Agreement provides that the Registrant, as assignee, intends to acquire up to100% of the assets (the “DHIL”) Assets”) of Lavasa’s subsidiary Dasve Hospitality Institutes Limited (“DHIL”) (fully operational School building), and other Infrastructure Assets (such as student apartments, staff housing, management villas, etc.) from Lavasa Corporation. These assets were initially valued at a gross value of 1,042 Crores and offered to SIRI (now the Registrant, by assignment) at a 25% discount, for 782 Crores.


The Lavasa Agreement provides that the Registrant, as the permitted assignee, has the right to acquire the DHIL Assets for a 25% discount from the most recent valuation, i.e., for a net purchase price of INR 782 Crores (approximately $117,300,000). The Lavasa Agreement further provides that 252 Crores worth of “Completed Assets” (initially valued at approximately $37,800,000) including the DHIL Assets, are to be acquired by the Registrant investing 28.11 Crores (approximately $4,216,500) before May 5, 2016; an additional 105.87 Crores (approximately $15,880,500) before May 31, 2016, and the balance of 118.02 Crores (approximately $17,703,000) on or before July 7, 2016; these dates has been extended, as described below. Assuming that the Registrant is able to secure the financing of this $37,800,000, as to which there is absolutely no assurance, the Registrant will then have until February 22, 2017 to raise the remaining 530 Crores (approximately $79,500,000).  




2



To purchase the Lavasa DHIL Assets and the supporting Infrastructure Assets and acquire the Education Services Company, the Registrant intends to raise a total of $49,500,000 as soon as practicable, which is to be allocated as follows: (a) the first $37,800,000 to acquire the DHIL Assets from Lavasa; (b) to pay Birla Shloka, $5,700,000, to acquire a 52% equity stake in BSEL; (c) an estimated $5,000,000 for capital expenditures to improve the school to international standards that Ecole Hoteliere, located in Lausanne, Switzerland, which is one of the world’s most respected hotel management schools, expects Lavasa DHIL to maintain under its agreement with DHIL; and (d) $1,000,000 for working capital.


There is absolutely no assurance that the Registrant will be able to raise the capital required to perform as required in accordance with the Lavasa Agreement. The Registrant intends to use its best efforts to raise this capital by a combination of (a) an offering of the Registrant’s securities under Regulation S, primarily to Indian investors under India’s Liberalized Remittance Scheme, as enacted by the Reserve Bank of India, which allows each Indian citizen to invest up to $250,000 per year outside India; (b) a US Regulation D offering, primarily to high net worth US based Indian investors; (c) investments from boutique Private Equity Firms; (d) investment bankers; and (e) through Debt Sources. As of the date of this Report, the Registrant has not retained the services of any investment banker or other similar source of financing, and neither the Regulation S nor the Regulation D offerings have commenced.


In pursuance of this effort with Lavasa, Registrant engaged JLL (Jones Lang LaSalle – a Mumbai-based professional Investment Management Company specializing in Real Estate) to provide an Independent Valuation Report to assess the appropriateness of the pricing of the proposed acquisition.


JLL released their draft valuation report and valued The Lavasa Completed Assets under acquisition consideration at a valuation approximately 20% lower than earlier estimated (after netting 25% discount) by Lavasa; and for that reason the Registrant is engaged in renegotiating the offering price with Lavasa.  The Registrant also advised Lavasa that it intends to have the bank which financed these assets included as part of an amended agreement; i.e., the amended agreement would be a tripartite document, consisting of the Registrant, Lavasa and Lavasa’s creditor bank.


Renegotiation of the price with Lavasa, and Registrant’s request to have Lavasa’s bank as a party to an amended agreement, is consuming time, necessitating the Registrant to seek extension of time until Oct 31, 2016 to complete the first phase of acquisition.


Both the BSKLS Agreement and the Lavasa Agreement provide that SIRI, and the Registrant as the authorized Assignee, will have no liability as a result of its non-performance on or before the stipulated dates. In addition, the BSKLS Agreement and the Lavasa Agreement both provide that they are not “all or nothing” sales of assets, meaning that if the Registrant raises enough capital to acquire some, but not all, of the assets, the Registrant and the investors will own the assets for which it pays.


In addition to the BSKLS Agreement and the Lavasa Agreement, on April 25, 2016 the Registrant became the permitted assignee from its affiliate SIRI of an agreement (the “Windflower Agreement”) with Siddharta Resorts & Foods Pvt. Ltd. (“Siddharta”), a privately-owned company located in Mysore, India, by which SIRI--now the Registrant-- agreed to raise the capital required to acquire interests in certain hotels (the “Windflower Hotels”) in India, described below, in exchange for which SIRI--now the Registrant--will receive the interests in the seven Windflower Hotels, each of which has from 40-100 rooms for guests, described below. The Windflower Agreement calls these assets “slump sale” assets because, under the Income Tax Act of India, a 'slump sale' means the transfer of the whole, or part of a business undertaking that is capable of carrying out operations independently, for a lump sum consideration, without assigning values to individual assets and liabilities.


Siddharta is the owner of the seven Windflower Hotels; further information about the first five Hotels listed below can be found on the Siddharta website,www.thewindflower.com . The sixth and seventh Windflower Hotels listed below have separate websites, as listed below. Because the Registrant has become the assignee from SIRI, the following description of the terms of the Windflower Agreement substitutes the Registrant in place of SIRI, which was the original party to the Windflower Agreement when it was signed on January 28, 2016.


The initial Windflower Agreement gave the Registrant the exclusive right: (a) until July 12, 2016, to raise the first $22,500,000 to pay Siddharta, which will allow the Registrant to place the seven Windflower Hotels—the “Hotel Assets”—into an Indian Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) described below, giving the Registrant a 19% interest in the Hotel Assets; and (b) if the Registrant successfully raises the $22,500,000, an additional 30-45 days from July 12, 2016 to raise an additional $40,500,000, most of which will be paid to HDFC Bank in India, so that the Registrant’s 19% interest—which will then be 18%--will be virtually debt-free.




3



On July 12, 2016, the Registrant and Siddharta signed an Addendum to the original Memorandum of Understanding, which extended the Registrant’s obligation to perform, subject to the following: (1) the Registrant is to complete its due diligence of Siddharta within 45 days from July 12, 2016, provided that Siddharta provides all of the documents and information in a timely manner, and if there is any delay in Siddharta providing the requested information, the 45-day period will not be strictly construed; (2) provided that Siddharta provides the requested documents and information in a timely manner, the Registrant will have 6o days from July 12, 2016 to provide a “commitment” of the Investment Amount (150 Crores, i.e., $22,500,000); (3) evidence of the “commitment” may be shown by opening an escrow account in a reputable bank (in India) and depositing the Investment Amount in escrow; or arranging for commitment letters from investors identified by the Registrant committing to the full Investment Amount, or a statement of account from a bank which confirms the balance of the Investment Amount in that bank, or any other more agreed in writing by the parties.  Closing of the transaction is also subject to the execution of a definitive agreement and the satisfaction of all other closing conditions.


The current Agreement, which is being renegotiated—see below—provides that if the Registrant does not provide the commitment described above within the time periods described above, then the transaction will be terminated, unless the parties mutually agree not to terminate the transaction subject to the Registrant paying $100,000 to Siddharta, which payment may be waived by Siddharta.


On August 1, 2016, JLL released its draft valuation report and valued the SRFL assets under acquisition at a valuation slightly lower than earlier estimated by SRFL under a different method of valuation; and for that reason Registrant renegotiated the offering with SRFL Management. On 13th September 2016, Registrant signed a Third Addendum, with Revised Terms that state that (a) the Agreement date is extended until the end of 31st of October 2016; (b) the initial investment amount remains unchanged at INR 150 Crores (approximately $22,500,000), partially in equity and partially as secured debt; (c) Registrant and its investors would receive 50% Equity of SRFL post-diluted for the portion of the amount out of INR 150 Crores ($22.5 Million) invested as equity; and SRFL would initiate transfer of assets into a separate entity exclusively formed for the purpose either by slump sale or by demerging the assets under acquisition.   


With the revised terms and extension successfully renegotiated, the Registrant intends that the first $22,500,000 will be raised by a combination of private capital pursuant to SEC Regulation D (Rule 506 offering to “Accredited Investors” only), and Regulation S (to non-US persons).  Further, Registrant may raise this money either directly into itself or through a specific Indian or US Entity for management and control purposes.


Thereafter, the Registrant intends to raise the next $40.5 million from non-US sources once the first $22,500,000 is raised. However, no investment commitments have been sourced so far. If and when the required $40,500,000 is raised, that would entitle those investors and the Registrant to their respective ownership interests in the Hotel Assets, set forth below.


The Hotel Assets are the following:


1) The Windflower Coorg

2) The Windflower Tursker Trails Bandipur

3) The Windflower Vythiri

4) The Windflower Pondicherry

5) The Windflower Karsargod—North Kerala

6) The Windflower Karwar (website www.olivegardenresortkarwar.com )

7) The Windflower Alleppey (website www.riverineresortalleppey.com )


IF THE REGISTRANT FAILS TO RAISE THE FIRST $22,500,000 ON OR BEFORE THE DEADLINE IN THE EXTENSION, AND NO FURTHER EXTENSION IS GRANTED, SIDDHARTA HAS THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE THE WINDFLOWER AGREEMENT, THE 19% OF THE HOTEL ASSETS WHICH WAS CONDITIONALLY TRANSFERRED TO THE REGISTRANT ON APRIL 12, 2016 WILL REVERT TO SIDDHARTA, AND THE REGISTRANT WILL OWN NONE OF THE WINDFLOWER ASSETS.

Assuming that the Registrant or a newly-formed subsidiary raises the required funds for any of these proposed Windflower transactions, the Registrant will then have the option to either initially establish a Special Purpose Vehicle for some or all of these Assets and then transfer the SPV’s assets to the REIT, or transfer these Assets directly into the REIT. The decision of whether to establish a SPV first or whether to transfer these assets directly to the REIT will depend on factors mostly involving issues of Indian laws and regulations, including the tax effects, timing, and relative costs. The Registrant has retained the Mumbai office of the Indian law firm Rajani & Associates, to (a) advise the Registrant as to which way to proceed, and (b) provide a legal opinion that the transactions with the Registrant are permissible under Indian law, which opinion is expected to be similar to the opinion which the Registrant received from its Indian legal counsel regarding the BSKLS Agreement and the attorneys are actively progressing in conducting legal due diligence.


The Registrant’s responsibility is to raise the capital required and to eventually become a sponsor and equity-holder of the REIT. With the grant of 19% stock ownership on April 12, 2016 (subject to reversion as noted above), the Registrant initiated steps to appoint the required intermediaries for organizing the REIT for Windflower. Indian law requires the REIT to appoint the following: a Securities & Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”)-regulated and recognized Custodian; Category I Merchant Bankers, an Evaluation Company, and Project Managers to manage the assets owned or operated by the REIT. Accordingly, the Registrant has appointed Rajani & Associates as the attorneys to the REIT; and is in the process of identifying and appointing the other required intermediaries. The Registrant is negotiating with ILFS (a SEBI registered Custodian) and with CIMB Securities, an Indian broker-dealer/merchant bank, regarding appointing them as Custodian and Merchant Bankers to the REIT, respectively. As of the date of the filing of this Form 10-K, neither has been appointed. Windflower’s current management personnel are expected to remain, operate and manage the Hotels under their brand name, or under any chosen Hospitality Brand at their discretion.


If the Registrant raises the required capital within the timeframes below, the Registrant will become the owner of the Hotel Assets forth below:

———————

(1) On April 12, 2016, Siddharta transferred this 19% equity stake to the Registrant; however, it is subject to reversion back to Siddharta if the Registrant fails to raise the required $22,500,000 on or before the deadline, if, as and when extended.

(2) Soon after SRFL transfers assets against Phase I investment of $22.5 Million into a separate entity, which shall be no later than December 31, 2016, that assets’ holding entity with Registrant (and/or its subsidiary) and SRFL (and/or its founders) as equity owners shall sponsor the Hospitality REIT per Indian Laws for absorbing 100% of equity of the assets’ holding entity in exchange for REIT Units.

(3) The Registrant will own an 18.0% equity stake in the Windflower Assets if the Registrant within the timeframes above raises all $63,000,000.

(4) The deadline to pay for initial assets has been extended to October 31, 2016.


Provided that the Registrant raises the required capital, the Windflower Agreement stays in effect for five years from January 28, 2016, during which time the Registrant will have a right of first refusal on any future capital raising transactions involving Siddharta which bear the Windflower brand name.  


In addition to the Registrant’s obligation to raise the required capital, completion of any of the above-described transactions is subject to, among other things, (a) satisfactory due diligence regarding the proposed assets to be acquired, which due diligence has begun and is continuing; and (b) the receipt by the Registrant of audited financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, prepared by an accounting firm that is registered with the SEC’s Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. For that purpose as we reported in the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 8, 2016, the Registrant retained BDO India as its auditors for these transactions, and for the Registrant’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016.  In the event that BDO India cannot provide a satisfactory auditing opinion for the Hotel Assets or the Lavasa Assets, the Registrant will be unable to acquire any assets or businesses which are not audited.


The above descriptions of the terms set forth in these initial Agreements and the Extension from Siddharta are qualified in the entirety by reference to the agreements themselves, which are Exhibits to the Reports on Forms 8-K on April 27, 2016 and July 27, 2016, respectively.

The Registrant has received a legal opinion from Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas & Co, its Indian legal counsel for the Lavasa transaction, to the effect that it is permissible under Indian law for Indian persons or entities to enter into agreements with non-Indians, subject to adherence to the Indian Foreign Direct Guidelines as applicable to the respective asset sector into which the Registrant is investing.

Operating Revenues


During the year ended May 31, 2016 the Company earned $50,000 in consulting revenue and $0.00 for May 31, 2015.


Operating Expenses and Net Loss


During the year ended May 31, 2016, the Company incurred operating expenses in the amount of $ 1,185,619 and had a net loss of $1,141,961 compared with a net loss of $66,347 during the year ended May 31, 2015. The increase in operating expenses and net loss is due to significant increases in legal, accounting, and consulting fees related to the Company’s overall operations.  


For the year ended May 31, 2016, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,141,961 or $ (0.17) loss per share, compared to a net loss of $66,347 and a loss per share of $0.01 for the year ended May 31, 2015.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


As at May 31, 2016, the Company had cash and total assets of $77,995 compared to $-0- as at May 31, 2015. The increase in cash and total assets was due to a temporary surplus of financing over operational activity and certain expenses paid for in advance.  During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016, the Company raised $411,500 in debt financing.


At May 31, 2016, the Company had total liabilities of $1,280,093 compared to liabilities of $60,137 as at May 31, 2015. The significant increase in liabilities was due to accounts payable and accrued liabilities relating to professional services incurred that were not paid due to lack of sufficient cash flow in the Company.


We owe significant amounts of money to our service providers, vendors, consultants, officers, directors and related parties as at the date of May 31, 2016; and our auditor has issued a qualified report expressing significant doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.  While we intend to raise capital to pay off these liabilities, our failure to timely raise adequate capital will severely impact our ability to retain these service facilitators, or to attract new help in running and maintaining our operational activities, or even to survive.


During the years ended May 31, 2016 and May 31, 2015, the Company did not have any equity transactions.




8



Cash Flow from Operating Activities


During the year ended May 31, 2016, the Company used cash of $404,303 for operating activities compared to $1,910 during the year ended May 31, 2015. The significant increase in the use of cash for operating activities was due to an increase in the Company’s operational activity in conducting its business.


Cash Flow from Investing Activities


During the years ended May 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not have any investing activities.


Cash Flow from Financing Activities


During the year ended May 31, 2016, the Company borrowed $411,500 as loans payable.  During the year ended May 31, 2015, the Company did not have any financing activities.


Going Concern


We have not attained profitable operations yet and are substantially dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive acquisitions and activities. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their reports on our audited financial statements, as at and for the years ended May 31, 2016 and 2015, that they have substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing.   


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.


Subsequent Events


1. Temporary Loans. Company borrowed temporarily in the amount of $57,500 as of May 31, 2016 that increased to $125,000 as the end of 8/31/2016 from an unaffiliated individual against promissory note that was to originally mature on the 31st of August 2016 but now got extended until Oct 31, 2016 with no further extensions. If company fails in its efforts to adequately bring in revenue or raise finance it may impact its ability to repay the temporary borrowing and force the company to face consequences of falling out of such delinquency.  

 

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.


We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Our company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and our company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.




9



We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. Registrant however plans raising additional equity and convertible notes and such additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, if any, will result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of any new prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our business operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of lnterups, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of lnterups, Inc. as of May 31, 2016, and the related statement of operation, stockholders' deficit, and cash flow for the years then ended. lnterups, Inc.'s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.



We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 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 lnterups, Inc. as of May 31, 2016, and the results of its operation and its cash flow for the year 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 1 to the financial statements, the Company currently has limited working capital, and has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time as of May 31, 2016 which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

INTERUPS INC

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. Organization and Nature of Operations


Interups Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 11, 2012. Until the change of control which took place as reported in a Form 8-K Report, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 24, 2014, the Company was in the business of developing an internet based group buying site.  As reported in that Form 8-K, the then-principal shareholder, Romanas Bagdonas, sold all of his 4,000,000 shares of the Company, representing 57.97% of our issued and outstanding shares, to Laxmi Prasad, who is now the principal shareholder.  As part of that transaction, Mr. Bagdonas resigned as the sole officer and director, and designated Likhitha Palaypu, Laxmi Prasad’s daughter, as the sole officer and director.  Also, the Company sold all of its then-existing assets and business back to Mr. Bagdonas for $1.  The Company is now in the business of identifying and investing into, and acquiring potential business opportunities or transactions, and conducting and offering turnkey services in India. On April 27, 2016, the Company announced its change in status and ceased to be a “shell,” as that term is defined in Section 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.


Going Concern


These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As at May 31, 2016, the Company has a working capital deficit of $1,202,098 and an accumulated deficit of $1,249,435. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its management, and its ability to identify future investment opportunities and obtain the necessary debt or equity financing, and generating profitable operations from the Company’s future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  


2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


a) Basis of Presentation


The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is May 31.


b) Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.


c) Cash and Cash Equivalents.


The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As of May 31, 2016 and 2015, there were no cash equivalents.





17



INTERUPS INC

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


d) Revenue Recognition


The Company recognizes and accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC 605 as a principal on the services provided. Pursuant to ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the amount is fixed and determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.


e) Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share


The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.


f) Financial Instruments


Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, an entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:


Level 1


Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


Level 2


Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.


Level 3


Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.


The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loans payable, and amounts due to related party. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.


g) Income Taxes


The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

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

 

None.


ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES  


Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The term “disclosure controls and procedures” (defined in SEC Rule 13a-15(e)) refers to the controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time periods. “Disclosure controls and procedures” include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

The Company’s Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on evaluation, the Company’s Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer noted deficiencies in internal controls identified in this Item 9A. Accordingly, the Company’s Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, such disclosure controls are not effective.

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Under the supervision and with the participation of management including its Interim CEO & CFO, company conducted its evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2016, using the criteria established in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework ” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO").  

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The Company is yet to assess and establish effective internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2016, and as such, there might exist control deficiencies that in turn might have constituted and lead to material weaknesses, as exampled below, which list is not exhaustive but is intended to be illustrative to indicate such weaknesses.


1.

 

We do not have an Independent Audit Committee – While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is management’s view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an important committee to exercise control over the Company’s financial statements. Currently, the Audit Committee does not include a member who is considered to be independent of management to provide the necessary oversight over management’s activities. However, the Company is in discussions with an independent search firm to elect independent members to its Board and Audit Committee.

 

2.

 

We did not maintain appropriate cash controls – As of May 31, 2016, we are yet to establish sufficient internal controls over financial reporting for treasury management, including segregation of cash handling at various operational levels, and requiring dual signatures on the Company’s bank accounts over and above certain dollar amounts per transaction. The effects of poor cash controls were somewhat mitigated by the fact that the Company had limited transactions in its bank accounts during that period and the accounting function, including review, preparation and reporting of financial statements per PCAOB norms, was endorsed to third party independent professional accountants.

 



23








3.

 

We did not implement appropriate information technology controls.  As at May 31, 2016, the Company retains copies of all financial data and material agreements; however there is no formal procedure or evidence of normal backup of the Company’s data or off-site storage of data in the event of theft, misplacement, or loss due to unmitigated factors. However, we recently signed up with an online data storage facility and Google Mail to electronically store and back up certain critical documents.

 

Accordingly, management acknowledges that these control deficiencies might impede our ability to prevent or detect a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements on a timely basis, although we have begun the process of mitigating and minimizing these deficiencies..

 

As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2016 based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

As we are yet to evaluate, assess and identify changes required in internal control over financial reporting, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting, as of May 31, 2016, that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter that materially affected, or which was reasonably likely to have materially affected our internal control over financial reporting.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. 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 in this annual report.
