PART I
ITEM 1.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
General
Occidental Development Group, Inc. (ODG, the Company, we, us) was incorporated in the State of Nevada in 1998. The Company provides physical plant and equipment, supplies, services and general support to the legal marijuana industry. Historically, the Company operated in the green building sector offering control and automation technology for single and multi unit new construction and existing buildings.
Over several quarters the Company evaluated and pursued opportunities to expand its business activities vertically within the green building, home automation and energy conservation sectors and horizontally within the construction and renovation sectors. Early in the evaluation process it became clear that the Companys financial resources were not sufficient to support available diversification opportunities, that balance sheet and equity restructuring would be required in order to attract equity funding sufficient to grow the business. Management reached this conclusion concurrent with the close of FY 2013.
Beginning in June 2013 the Company commenced restructuring and in June, 2013 Murat Erbatur resigned as director and COO and in June 2013 the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Ian Gilbey director. Mr. Gilbey had previously been a consultant to the Company providing re-structuring and merger acquisition support. In June the Company moved its head office to Beverly Hills California to better focus on the US market. On July 17, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized a merger with the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, Occidental Development Group Inc., and in the merger, the name of the company was changed to Occidental Development Group Inc. At the same time the Board also approved the filing with the Secretary of State of Nevada a Certificate of Change that effected a 1:10 reverse split in our outstanding common stock and a reduction of our authorized common stock in the same 1:10 ratio, from 800,000,000 shares to 80,000,000 shares. Both of these corporate actions were permitted to be taken by the Companys Board of Directors without stockholder approval under Nevada NRS 92A.180 (for the merger with the subsidiary and name change) and NRS 78.207 (for the change in authorized and outstanding stock).
The changes of the Companys name to Occidental Development Group, Inc. and the 1:10 reverse split, with the concurrent reduction of our authorized common stock in the same ratio and the change in the Companys trading symbol to OXDG, were approved by FINRA and became effective for trading purposes on August 19, 2013.
During the quarter ended August 31, 2013 the Company continued to plan for the complete phase out of its activities in the home automation sector and negotiations were initiated for the acquisition of Ball Park Investments LLC ("BallPark"). The Company's board of directors considered the acquisition of Ballpark a key step in establishing strategic relationships with debt and equity providers.
Effective September 1, 2013, the Company disposed of its subsidiary MCM Technologies Inc. by sale to a previous related party for $1. The transaction was accounted for by rolling up assets and liabilities into a one-time adjustment of ($342,880) to additional paid in capital. Early in the second quarter management completed the acquisition of BallPark. The acquisition of BallPark did not incur any expense, contribute any assets or result in any liabilities. On January 16, 2014 the Company's Board of Directors approved a consent motion to seek shareholder approval to increase the Company's authorized common share capital from 80,000,000 shares to 800,000,000 and on the same day received approval from a majority of shareholders. As of June 2017, execution of the consent motion to increase the Companys authorized common share capital remains pending. Effective March 1, 2014, the Company disposed of its remaining Canadian
4
subsidiary by sale to a third party for $1.00. The transaction was accounted for by rolling up assets and liabilities into a one-time adjustment of ($711,990) to additional paid in capital.
On October 1, 2014 the Company executed a binding Letter of Intent with the Eagle Financial Group (Eagle) defining the terms under which Occidental would acquire Eagle. In January 2015, the Company was advised by the principal of Eagle that Eagle no longer wished to pursue the buyout. As a result of the breach of the binding Letter of Intent by Eagle, the Board is considering the option to pursue a claim of damages.
On April 27, 2015 the Company executed a binding Letter of Intent with 420 International Corp. ("420"), a California company active in the legal marijuana sector. The Letter of Intent outlines an all share transaction in which Occidental acquires 100 percent of the outstanding shares of 420. Under terms of the Agreement, the principal shareholders of Occidental transferred a portion of their shareholdings to the seller in exchange for Occidental receiving 100 percent of the outstanding shares of 420. The acquisition of 420 did not incur any expense, contribute any assets or result in any liabilities and did not result in any change to the Companys total issued and outstanding shares. The share transfer was completed in August 2015.
The Company is actively evaluating opportunities for strategic relationships and alliances, for land acquisition, the provision of professional services, hardware development and hardware and equipment supply, and for industry financing - including evaluating opportunities to make direct term loans or to provide revolving lines of credit to businesses involved in the cultivation and sale of cannabis and related products. Target geographical markets include national on-line and the California, Oregon, Nevada and Washington medicinal and recreational marijuana (THC and CBD) markets.
The Company maintains its corporate office in Beverly Hills California. The Companys year-end is May 31.
Employees
As of May 31, 2015, we had a staff of two consisting of the Company President and the Company COO.
ITEM 1A
RISK FACTORS
Readers should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below before deciding whether to invest in shares of our common stock.
Our failure to successfully address the risks and uncertainties described below could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and/or results of operations, and the price of our common stock may decline and investors may lose all or part of their investment. There is no assurance that we will successfully address these risks or other unknown risks that may affect our business.
Risks Relating to our Business and Industry
Market and Regulatory Conditions and Risks
Our target markets are those where states have legalized the production, sale and use of cannabis. Most recently, voters in California, Nevada, Maine and Massachusetts approved ballot measures to legalize cannabis for adult recreational use, bringing the total number of states with legalized recreational cannabis use to eight, in addition to the District of Columbia.
As of May 31, 2017, twenty eight U.S. states, the District of Columbia and the territories of Guam and Puerto Rico have legalized the use of cannabis for medical use in some form, including five states in 2016 alone. It may take multiple years for a state to establish regulations and for cannabis businesses to begin generating revenue from operations, so the impact of new states legalizing the medical use of cannabis may begin to be realized in 2018 and 2019.
5
Continued development of the regulated cannabis industry depends on continued legislative authorization at the state level. Progress, while encouraging, is not assured and any number of factors could slow or halt progress in the cannabis industry.
Cannabis is currently a Schedule I controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) and is, therefore, illegal under federal law. Even in those states in which the use of cannabis has been legalized pursuant to state law, its use, possession or cultivation remains a violation of federal law. A Schedule I controlled substance is defined as one that has no currently accepted medical use in the United States, a lack of safety for use under medical supervision and a high potential for abuse. The U.S. Department of Justice (the DOJ) defines Schedule I controlled substances as the most dangerous drugs of all the drug schedules with potentially severe psychological or physical dependence. If the federal government decides to enforce the CSA in Colorado with respect to cannabis, persons that are charged with distributing, possessing with intent to distribute or growing cannabis could be subject to fines and/or terms of imprisonment, the maximum being life imprisonment and a $50 million fine.
Notwithstanding the CSA, as of the date of this filing, 28 U.S. states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories of Guam and Puerto Rico allow their residents to use medical cannabis. Voters in the states of Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and the District of Columbia have approved ballot measures to legalize cannabis for adult recreational use. Such state and territorial laws are in conflict with the federal CSA, which makes cannabis use and possession illegal at the federal level.
In light of such conflict between federal laws and state laws regarding cannabis, the previous administration under President Obama had effectively stated that it was not an efficient use of resources to direct federal law enforcement agencies to prosecute those lawfully abiding by state-designated laws allowing the use and distribution of medical cannabis. For example, the prior DOJ Deputy Attorney General of the Obama administration, James M. Cole, issued a memorandum (the Cole Memo) to all United States Attorneys providing updated guidance to federal prosecutors concerning cannabis enforcement under the CSA (see The Cole Memo). In addition, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) provided guidelines (the FinCEN Guidelines) on February 14, 2014, regarding how financial institutions can provide services to cannabis-related businesses consistent with their Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) obligations (see FinCEN).
Additional existing and pending legislation provides, or seeks to provide, protection to persons acting in violation of federal law but in compliance with state laws regarding cannabis. The Rohrabacher-Farr Amendment to the Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill, which funds the DOJ, prohibits the DOJ from using funds to prevent states with medical cannabis laws from implementing such laws. The Rohrabacher-Farr Amendment is effective through April 28, 2017, but as an amendment to an appropriations bill, it must be renewed annually. The Compassionate Access Compassionate Access, Research Expansion, and Respect States Act (the CARERS Act) has been introduced in the U.S. Senate, which proposes to reclassify cannabis under the CSA to Schedule II, thereby changing the plant from a federally criminalized substance to one that has recognized medical uses. More recently, the Respect State Marijuana Laws Act of 2017 has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives, which proposes to exclude persons who produce, possess, distribute, dispense, administer or deliver marijuana in compliance with state laws from the regulatory controls and administrative, civil and criminal penalties of the CSA.
However, as of the date of this filing, neither the CARERS Act nor the Respect State Marijuana Laws Act of 2017 has been enacted, the Rohrabacher-Farr Amendment has not yet been renewed beyond April 28, 2017, and the new administration under President Trump has not yet indicated whether it will change the previously stated policy of low-priority enforcement of federal laws related to cannabis set forth in the Cole Memo or the FinCEN Guidelines. The Trump administration could change this policy and decide to strongly enforce the federal laws applicable to cannabis. Any such change in the federal governments enforcement of current federal laws could cause significant financial damage to us. While we do not currently harvest, distribute or sell cannabis, we may be irreparably harmed by a change in enforcement policies of the federal government. However, as of the date of this filing, we have provided products and services to state-approved
6
cannabis cultivators and dispensary facilities. As a result of our providing ancillary products and services to state-approved cannabis cultivators and dispensary facilities, we could be deemed to be aiding and abetting illegal activities, a violation of federal law.
Absent any future changes in cannabis-related policies under the Trump administration, we intend to remain within the guidelines outlined in the Cole Memo (see The Cole Memo) and the FinCEN Guidelines (see FinCEN), where applicable; however, we cannot provide assurance that we are in full compliance with the Cole Memo, the FinCEN Guidelines or any applicable federal laws or regulations.
The Cole Memo
Because of the discrepancy between the laws in some states, which permit the distribution and sale of medical and recreational cannabis, from federal law that prohibits any such activities, DOJ Deputy Attorney General James M. Cole issued the Cole Memo concerning cannabis enforcement under the CSA. The Cole Memo guidance applies to all of the DOJs federal enforcement activity, including civil enforcement and criminal investigations and prosecutions, concerning cannabis in all states.
The Cole Memo reiterates Congresss determination that cannabis is a dangerous drug and that the illegal distribution and sale of cannabis is a serious crime that provides a significant source of revenue to large-scale criminal enterprises, gangs, and cartels. The Cole Memo notes that the DOJ is committed to enforcement of the CSA consistent with those determinations. It also notes that the DOJ is committed to using its investigative and prosecutorial resources to address the most significant threats in the most effective, consistent, and rational way. In furtherance of those objectives, the Cole Memo provides guidance to DOJ attorneys and law enforcement to focus their enforcement resources on persons or organizations whose conduct interferes with any one or more of the following important priorities (the Enforcement Priorities) in preventing:
·
the distribution of cannabis to minors;
·
revenue from the sale of cannabis from going to criminal enterprises, gangs, and cartels;
·
the diversion of cannabis from states where it is legal under state law in some form to other states;
·
state-authorized cannabis activity from being used as a cover or pretext for the trafficking of other illegal drugs or other illegal activity;
·
violence and the use of firearms in the cultivation and distribution of cannabis;
·
drugged driving and the exacerbation of other adverse public health consequences associated with cannabis use;
·
the growing of cannabis on public lands and the attendant public safety and environmental dangers posed by cannabis production on public lands; and
·
cannabis possession or use on federal property.
The current administration is reviewing the Cole Memo and it is unclear what further guidance the DOJ may provide concerning cannabis enforcement under the CSA. Until such time as further guidance is provided the Cole Memo remains in effect. We intend to conduct rigorous due diligence to verify the legality of all activities that we engage in and ensure that our activities do not interfere with any of the Enforcement Priorities set forth in the Cole Memo.
FinCEN
FinCEN provided guidance regarding how financial institutions can provide services to cannabis-related businesses consistent with their BSA obligations. For purposes of the FinCEN guidelines, a financial institution includes any person doing business in one or more of the following capacities:
7
*
bank (except bank credit card systems);
*
broker or dealer in securities;
*
money services business;
*
telegraph company;
*
card club; and
*
a person subject to supervision by any state or federal bank supervisory authority.
In general, the decision to open, close, or refuse any particular account or relationship should be made by each financial institution based on a number of factors specific to that institution. These factors may include its particular business objectives, an evaluation of the risks associated with offering a particular product or service, and its capacity to manage those risks effectively. Thorough customer due diligence is a critical aspect of making this assessment.
In assessing the risk of providing services to a cannabis-related business, a financial institution should conduct customer due diligence that includes: (i) verifying with the appropriate state authorities whether the business is duly licensed and registered; (ii) reviewing the license application (and related documentation) submitted by the business for obtaining a state license to operate its cannabis-related business; (iii) requesting from state licensing and enforcement authorities available information about the business and related parties; (iv) developing an understanding of the normal and expected activity for the business, including the types of products to be sold and the type of customers to be served (e.g., medical versus recreational customers); (v) ongoing monitoring of publicly available sources for adverse information about the business and related parties; (vi) ongoing monitoring for suspicious activity, including for any of the red flags described in this guidance; and (vii) refreshing information obtained as part of customer due diligence on a periodic basis and commensurate with the risk. With respect to information regarding state licensure obtained in connection with such customer due diligence, a financial institution may reasonably rely on the accuracy of information provided by state licensing authorities, where states make such information available.
As part of its customer due diligence, a financial institution should consider whether a cannabis-related business implicates one of the Cole Memo Enforcement Priorities or violates state law. This is a particularly important factor for a financial institution to consider when assessing the risk of providing financial services to a cannabis-related business. Considering this factor also enables the financial institution to provide information in BSA reports pertinent to law enforcements priorities. A financial institution that decides to provide financial services to a cannabis-related business would be required to file suspicious activity reports.
While we believe we do not qualify as a financial institution in the United States, we cannot be certain that we do not fall under the scope of the FinCEN guidelines. We plan to use the FinCEN Guidelines, as may be amended, as a basis for assessing our relationships with potential tenants, clients and customers. As such, as we engage in financing activities, we intend to adhere to the guidance of FinCEN in conducting and monitoring our financial transactions. Because this area of the law is uncertain but expected to evolve rapidly, we believe that FinCENs guidelines will help us best operate in a prudent, reasonable and acceptable manner. There is no assurance, however, that our activities will not violate some aspect of the CSA. If we are found to violate the federal statute or any other in connection with our activities, our company could face serious criminal and civil sanctions.
Moreover, since the use of cannabis is illegal under federal law, we may have difficulty acquiring or maintaining bank accounts and insurance, and our stockholders may find it difficult to deposit their stock with brokerage firms.
Licensing and Local Regulations
Where applicable, we will apply for applicable state and local licenses and permits that are necessary to conduct our business in compliance with local laws.
8
Local laws at the city, county and municipal level add an additional layer of complexity to legalized cannabis. Despite a states adoption of legislation legalizing cannabis, cities, counties and municipalities within the state may have the ability to otherwise restrict cannabis activities, including but not limited to cultivation, retail or consumption.
Zoning sets forth the approved use of land in any given city, county or municipality. Zoning is set by local governments or local voter referendum, and may otherwise be restricted by state laws. For example, under certain state laws a seller of liquor may not be allowed to operate within 1,000 feet of a school. There may be similar restrictions imposed on cannabis operators, which will restrict where cannabis operations may be located and the manner and size to which they can grow and operate. Zoning can be subject to change or withdrawal, and properties can be re-zoned. The zoning of our properties will have a direct impact on our business operations.
There is no guarantee that we will be successful in obtaining the required state, city and local approvals and licenses required to operate.
We have a limited operating history in an evolving industry, which makes it difficult to accurately assess our future growth prospects.
Although we believe our management team has extensive knowledge of the cannabis industry and closely monitors changes in legislation, we also operate in an evolving industry that may not develop as expected. Furthermore, the company continues to evolve under our business plan as we continually assess new strategic opportunities for our business within our industry. Assessing the future prospects of our business is challenging in light of both known and unknown risks and difficulties we may encounter. Growth prospects in our industry can be affected by a wide variety of factors including:
·
Competition from other similar companies;
·
Regulatory limitations on the products we can offer and markets we can serve;
·
Other changes in the regulation of medical and recreational cannabis use;
·
Changes in underlying consumer behavior, which may affect the business of our customers;
·
Our ability to access adequate financing on reasonable terms and our ability to raise additional capital in order to fund our operations;
·
Challenges with new products, services and markets; and
·
Fluctuations in the credit markets and demand for credit.
We may not be able to successfully address these factors, which could negatively impact our growth, harm our business and cause our operating results to be worse than expected.
Our independent auditor has issued an audit opinion which includes a statement describing our going concern status. Our financial status creates a doubt whether we will continue as a going concern.
As described in Note 2 of our accompanying financial statements, our limited revenues and our lack of any guaranteed sources of future capital create substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company had a working capital deficit of ($1,560,135) at May 31, 2015 and a consolidated net loss of $(324,986) for the twelve months then ended. If the Company does not raise a sufficient amount of capital, it may not have the ability to remain in business until such time, if ever, when it becomes profitable.
Although the Company has continued to restructure its balance sheet and operations, the Companys operating income is not yet adequate to offset the Companys aggregate overhead expenses. To rectify this shortfall, on an operating basis the Company needs to find further ways to reduce overhead expenses and increase its operating revenue sufficient to offset the Companys overhead expense. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to do so.
We expect to expend substantial financial and other resources on:
9
·
personnel, including significant increases to the total compensation we pay our employees as we grow our employee headcount;
·
expenses relating to increased marketing efforts;
·
strategic acquisitions of businesses and real estate; and
·
general administration, including legal, accounting and other compliance expenses related to being a public company.
These expenditures are expected to increase and may adversely affect our ability to achieve and sustain profitability as we grow. Our efforts to grow our business may also be more costly than we expect, and we may not be able to increase our revenues enough to offset our higher operating expenses. We may incur losses in the future for a number of reasons, including the other risks described in this Form 10-K, unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications and delays and other unknown events. If we are unable to achieve and sustain profitability, the market price of our common stock may significantly decrease.
Until such time as the Company becomes sustainable profitable it will be necessary to raise additional capital to support operations. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the required capital under terms acceptable to management, or on a schedule and in amounts required to support continued operations if at all. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability could negatively impact the value of our stock.
We have not operated profitably, we may not operate profitably in the future, and we may not survive if we cannot overcome the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered by a company in the early stages of shifting its business activities.
Potential investors must consider our business and prospects in light of the risks and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of shifting activities to include new areas of business. These risks and difficulties include, but are not limited to, lack of sufficient customer base, revenue, cash flow and working capital for marketing, inventory for re-sale, property and equipment for leasing and professional staff for sub-contracting. We cannot be certain that our business strategy will be successful or that we will successfully address these and other risks. Our failure to address and mitigate these risks could harm our ability to operate profitably.
Cannabis remains illegal under federal law, and any change in the enforcement priorities of the federal government could render our current and planned future operations unprofitable or even prohibit such operations.
We operate in the cannabis industry, which is dependent on state laws and regulations pertaining to such industry; however, under federal law, cannabis remains illegal.
The United States federal government regulates drugs through the CSA, which places controlled substances, including cannabis, on one of five schedules. Cannabis is currently classified as a Schedule I controlled substance, which is viewed as having a high potential for abuse and having no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States. No prescriptions may be written for Schedule I substances, and such substances are subject to production quotas imposed by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (the DEA). Because of this, doctors may not prescribe cannabis for medical use under federal law, although they can recommend its use under the First Amendment.
Currently, 28 U.S. states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories of Guam and Puerto Rico allow the use of medical cannabis. Voters in the states of Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, Oregon and Washington have approved ballot measures to legalize cannabis for adult recreational use. Such state and territorial laws are in conflict with the federal CSA, which makes cannabis use and possession illegal at the federal level. Because cannabis is a Schedule I controlled substance, however, the development of a legal cannabis industry under the laws of these states is in conflict with the CSA, which makes cannabis use and possession illegal on a national level. The United States Supreme Court has
10
confirmed that the federal government has the right to regulate and criminalize cannabis, including for medical purposes, and that federal law criminalizing the use of cannabis preempts state laws that legalize its use.
In light of such conflict between federal laws and state laws regarding cannabis, the previous administration under President Obama had effectively stated that it was not an efficient use of resources to direct law federal law enforcement agencies to prosecute those lawfully abiding by state-designated laws allowing the use and distribution of medical cannabis. For example, the prior DOJ Deputy Attorney General of the Obama administration, James M. Cole, issued a memorandum (the Cole Memo) to all United States Attorneys providing updated guidance to federal prosecutors concerning cannabis enforcement under the CSA (see Business Government and Industry Regulation - The Cole Memo). In addition, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) provided guidelines (the FinCEN Guidelines) on February 14, 2014, regarding how financial institutions can provide services to cannabis-related businesses consistent with their Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) obligations (see Business Government and Industry Regulation - FinCEN).
In 2014, the United States House of Representatives passed an amendment (the Rohrabacher-Farr Amendment) to the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill, which funds the United States Department of Justice (the DOJ). The Rohrabacher-Farr Amendment prohibits the DOJ from using funds to prevent states with medical cannabis laws from implementing such laws. In August 2016, a 9 th Circuit federal appeals court ruled in United States v. McIntosh that the Rohrabacher-Farr Amendment bars the DOJ from spending funds on the prosecution of conduct that is allowed by state medical cannabis laws, provided that such conduct is in strict compliance with applicable state law. In March 2015, bipartisan legislation titled the Compassionate Access, Research Expansion, and Respect States Act (the CARERS Act) was introduced, proposing to allow states to regulate the medical use of cannabis by changing applicable federal law, including by reclassifying cannabis under the Controlled Substances Act to a Schedule II controlled substance and thereby changing the plant from a federally-criminalized substance to one that has recognized medical uses. More recently, the Respect State Marijuana Laws Act of 2017 has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives, which proposes to exclude persons who produce, possess, distribute, dispense, administer or deliver marijuana in compliance with state laws from the regulatory controls and administrative, civil and criminal penalties of the CSA.
Although these developments have been met with a certain amount of optimism in the cannabis industry, neither the CARERS Act nor the Respect State Marijuana Laws Act of 2017 have yet been adopted. In addition, the Rohrabacher-Farr Amendment, being an amendment to an appropriations bill that must be renewed annually, has not been renewed beyond April 28, 2017. Furthermore, the ruling in United States v. McIntosh is only applicable in the 9 th Circuit, which does not include Colorado, the state where we currently primarily operate. The new administration under President Trump has not yet indicated whether it will change the previously stated policy of low-priority enforcement of federal laws related to cannabis set forth in the Cole Memo or FinCEN Guidelines. The Trump administration could change this policy and decide to strongly enforce the federal laws applicable to cannabis.
Any such change in the federal governments enforcement of current federal laws could cause significant financial damage to us. While we do not currently harvest, distribute or sell cannabis, we may be irreparably harmed by a change in enforcement policies of the federal government. However, as of the date of this filing, we are beginning to provided products and services to state-approved cannabis cultivators and dispensary facilities. As a result of our providing ancillary products and services to state-approved cannabis cultivators and dispensary facilities, we could be deemed to be aiding and abetting illegal activities, a violation of federal law.
Additionally, as we are always assessing potential strategic acquisitions of new businesses, we may in the future also pursue opportunities that include growing and distributing medical or recreational cannabis, should we determine that such activities are in the best interest of the Company and our stockholders. Any such pursuit would involve additional risks with respect to the regulation of cannabis.
11
Any potential growth in the cannabis industry continues to be subject to new and changing state and local laws and regulations.
Continued development of the cannabis industry is dependent upon continued legislative legalization of cannabis at the state level, and a number of factors could slow or halt progress in this area, even where there is public support for legislative action. Any delay or halt in the passing or implementation of legislation legalizing cannabis use, or its sale and distribution, or the re-criminalization or restriction of cannabis at the state level could negatively impact our business. Additionally, changes in applicable state and local laws or regulations could restrict the products and services we offer or impose additional compliance costs on us or our customers and tenants. Violations of applicable laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our operations. We cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, and it is possible that regulations may be enacted in the future that will be materially adverse to our business.
The cannabis industry faces significant opposition, and any negative trends will adversely affect our business operations.
We are substantially dependent on the continued market acceptance, and the proliferation of consumers, of medical and recreational cannabis. We believe that with further legalization, cannabis will become more accepted, resulting in a growth in consumer demand. However, we cannot predict the future growth rate or future market potential, and any negative outlook on the cannabis industry may adversely affect our business operations.
Large, well-funded business sectors may have strong economic reasons to oppose the development of the cannabis industry. For example, medical cannabis may adversely impact the existing market for the current cannabis pill sold by mainstream pharmaceutical companies. Should cannabis displace other drugs or products, the medical cannabis industry could face a material threat from the pharmaceutical industry, which is well-funded and possesses a strong and experienced lobby. Any inroads the pharmaceutical, or any other potentially displaced, industry or sector could make in halting or impeding the cannabis industry could have a detrimental impact on our business.
We may change our business plan.
Based on the results of our efforts to develop our current operating concept, we are re-evaluating our business plan and our board of directors may determine that it is in the best interests of the shareholders to change our business plan through vertical diversification within the Companys current business sector and/or horizontal diversification into related sectors. Any such expansion of operations will entail risks, and such actions may involve specific operational activities which may negatively affect the profitability of the Company. Consequently, shareholders must assume the risk that (i) such expansion may ultimately involve expenditures of funds beyond the resources available to the Company at that time, and (ii) management of such expanded operations may divert managements attention and resources away from its existing operations, all of which factors may have a material adverse effect on the Companys present and prospective business activities. In addition, we may need to bring in new investors or raise additional capital, all of which could result in dilution of current shareholders. There is no guarantee that our efforts to diversify will be successful.
We require additional funds to achieve our current business strategy and our inability to obtain additional financing would inhibit our ability to expand or even maintain our business operations.
We need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or sale of equity to achieve our current business strategy and capitalize on available opportunities. This financing may not be available when needed. Even if this financing is available, it may be on terms that we deem unacceptable or are materially adverse to shareholder interests with respect to dilution of book value, dividend preferences, liquidation preferences, or other terms. Our inability to obtain financing would inhibit our ability to implement our development strategy, and as a result, could require us or diminish or suspend our development strategy and
12
possibly cease our operations. If we are unable to obtain financing on reasonable terms, we could be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate planned expansion and or introduction of new products and services. In addition, such inability to obtain financing on reasonable terms could have a negative effect on our business, operating results, or financial condition to such extent that we are forced to restructure, file for bankruptcy, sell assets or cease operations.
We currently have outstanding debt that is convertible into shares of our common stock at below market pricing resulting in significant dilution to our current stockholders.
At May 31, 2015 we had a total of $838,957 in debt and accrued interest that is convertible into shares of our common stock at discounts ranging from 0% to 42% of the market price. The conversion of all of this debt could result in significant dilution to our stockholders.
We rely heavily on our management, and the loss of their services could materially and adversely affect our business.
The Companys business is significantly dependent on the Companys management team and Board of Directors. The unscheduled loss of these individuals would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Market events and conditions, could, among other things, impede access to capital or increase the cost of capital, which would have an adverse effect on our ability to fund our working capital and other capital requirements.
Notwithstanding various actions by the U.S. and foreign governments, concerns remain about the general condition of the capital markets. Recent quarters have seen strong improvement in the US economy and increased positive consumer sentiment. However the overall situation with small cap funding remains somewhat fragile and could, among other things, make it difficult for us to obtain working capital, or increase our cost of obtaining capital for our operations. Our access to additional capital and project financing may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all.
The Companys operating results may vary and may not support ongoing development of the business
The Companys operating results may fluctuate significantly from period to period as a result of a variety of factors including but not limited to: purchasing patterns of customers, competitive pricing and margins, debt service and principal reduction payments, and general economic conditions. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in marketing its products and services or that the revenues from the sale of such products and services will be sufficient to offset costs and support ongoing development of the business.
Unanticipated Obstacles to Execution of the Business Plan
The Companys business plans may change significantly. Many of the Companys potential business endeavors are capital intensive and may be subject to statutory or regulatory requirements. Management believes that the Companys goals and strategies are achievable in light of current economic conditions and regulatory environments with the skills, background, and knowledge of the Companys principals and advisors. Management reserves the right to make significant modifications to the Companys stated strategies depending on current and anticipated future events.
Our success in the future may depend on our ability to establish and maintain strategic alliances, and any failure on our part to establish and maintain such relationships would adversely affect our market penetration and revenue growth.
We may be required to establish strategic relationships with third parties in both domestic and international markets. Our ability to establish strategic relationships will depend on a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to establish and maintain strategic relationships in the future.
13
In addition, any strategic relationships that we establish, will subject us to a number of risks, including risks associated with sharing and potentially losing control over committed assets and financial resources, technical information and know-how, loss of control of operations that are material to our business. Moreover, strategic alliances may be expensive to implement and subject us to the risk that the third party will not perform its obligations under the relationship, which may subject us to losses over which we have no control or expensive termination arrangements. As a result, even if our strategic alliances with third parties are successful, our business may be adversely affected by our exposure to a number of factors that are outside of our control.
We face risks associated with strategic acquisitions.
As an important part of our business strategy, we plan to strategically acquire businesses and real property, some of which may be material. These acquisitions may involve a number of financial, accounting, managerial, operational, legal, compliance and other risks and challenges, including the following, any of which could adversely affect our results of operations:
·
The applicable restrictions on cannabis industry and its participants limit the number of available suitable businesses and real properties that we can acquire;
·
Any acquired business or real property could under-perform relative to our expectations and the price that we paid for it, or not perform in accordance with our anticipated timetable;
·
We may incur or assume significant debt in connection with our acquisitions;
·
Acquisitions could cause our results of operations to differ from our own or the investment communitys expectations in any given period, or over the long term; and
·
Acquisitions could create demands on our management that we may be unable to effectively address, or for which we may incur additional costs.
Additionally, following any business acquisition, we could experience difficulty in integrating personnel, operations, financial and other systems, and in retaining key employees and customers.
We may record goodwill and other intangible assets on our consolidated balance sheet in connection with our acquisitions. If we are not able to realize the value of these assets, we may be required to incur charges relating to the impairment of these assets, which could materially impact our results of operations.
Our potential customers, clients and tenants have difficulty accessing the service of banks, which may make it difficult for them to operate.
On February 14, 2014, the U.S. government issued rules allowing banks to legally provide financial services to state-licensed cannabis businesses. A memorandum issued by the Justice Department to federal prosecutors reiterated guidance previously given, this time to the financial industry that banks can do business with legal marijuana businesses and may not be prosecuted. FinCEN issued guidelines to banks noting that it is possible to provide financial services to state-licensed cannabis businesses and still be in compliance with federal anti-money laundering laws. The guidance, however, falls short of the explicit legal authorization that banking industry officials had requested the government provide, and, to date, it is not clear if any banks have relied on the guidance to take on legal cannabis companies as clients. The aforementioned policy can be changed, including in connection with a change in presidential administration, and any policy reversal and or retraction could result in legal cannabis businesses losing access to the banking industry.
Because the use, sale and distribution of cannabis remains illegal under federal law, many banks will not accept deposits from or provide other bank services to businesses involved with cannabis. The inability to open bank accounts with federally regulated banks may make it difficult for our existing and potential customers, clients and tenants to operate and may make it difficult for them to contract with us.

Risks Related to Our Common Shares
Dividend Record
We have no dividend record. We have not paid dividends on our common shares since incorporation and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.
The trading market for our common stock is limited.
We are quoted on the OTC Markets Groups OTCQB Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the trading symbol OXDG. The OTCQB is regarded as a junior trading venue. This may result in limited shareholder interest and hence lower prices for our common stock than might otherwise be obtained.
The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.
The market price of our common shares may fluctuate significantly in response to factors, some of which are beyond our control, such as:
·
the announcement of new products or product enhancements by us or our competitors,
·
developments concerning intellectual property rights and regulatory approvals,
·
quarterly variations in our and our competitors results of operations,
·
changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts,
·
developments in our industry, and
·
general economic and market conditions, and other factors, including factors unrelated to our own operating performance.
Further, the stock market in general has recently experienced price and volume fluctuations. Continued market fluctuations could result in extreme volatility in the price of our common shares, which could cause a decline in the value of our common shares. You should also be aware that price volatility might be worse if the trading volume of our common shares is low.
Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SECs penny stock regulations, which may limit a stockholders ability to buy and sell our stock.
Our stock is a penny stock. Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system), in companies continuously in existence for at least three years with net tangible assets of less than $2,000,000. Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customers account. The broker-dealer must also make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchasers written agreement to the transaction. These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit their market price and liquidity of our securities.
These requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to resell our common stock.
FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholders ability to buy and sell our stock.
15
In addition to the penny stock rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (see above for discussions of penny stock rules), the FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customers financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
Our stockholders may experience significant dilution.
We may have a significant number of warrants and options to purchase our common stock, the exercise of which would be dilutive to stockholders. The exercise prices may be subject to adjustment if we issue or sell shares of our common stock or equity-based instruments at a price per share less than the exercise price then in effect. In such case, both the issuance and the adjustment would be dilutive to stockholders.
We may from time to time finance our future operations or acquisitions through the issuance of equity securities, which securities may also have rights and preferences senior to the rights and preferences of our common stock. We may also grant options to purchase shares of our common stock to our directors, employees and consultants, the exercise of which would also result in dilution to our stockholders.
We may face continuing challenges in complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and any failure to comply or any adverse result from managements evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting may have an adverse effect on our stock price.
As a smaller reporting company as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we are required to evaluate our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (Section 404). Section 404 requires us to include an internal control report with our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The report must include managements assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the fiscal year. This report must also include disclosure of any material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that we have identified.
Failure to comply, or any adverse results from such evaluation, could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and have an adverse effect on the trading price of our equity securities. Management believes that our internal controls and procedures as of May 31, 2015 were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of U.S. GAAP rules. Management realizes there are deficiencies in the design or operation of our internal control that adversely affect our internal controls, and management considers such deficiencies to be material weaknesses. As of the end of our last fiscal year, management had identified the following material weaknesses:
·
we had not performed a risk assessment and mapped our processes to control objectives;
·
we had not implemented comprehensive entity-level internal controls;
·
we had not implemented adequate system and manual controls; and
·
we did not have sufficient segregation of duties.
Achieving continued compliance with Section 404 may require us to incur significant costs and expend significant time and management resources. We cannot assure you that we will be able to fully comply with Section 404 or that we will be able to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective at fiscal year-end. As a result, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have an adverse effect on the trading price of our securities, as well as subject us to civil or criminal investigations and penalties. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm may not agree
16
with our managements assessment or conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is operating effectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Occidental Development Group, Inc. (ODG, the Company, we, us) was incorporated in the State of Nevada in 1998. The Company provides physical plant and equipment, supplies, services and general support to the legal marijuana industry. Historically, the Company operated in the green building sector offering control and automation technology for single and multi unit new construction and existing buildings.
Over several quarters the Company evaluated and pursued opportunities to expand its business activities vertically within the green building, home automation and energy conservation sectors and horizontally within the construction and renovation sectors. Early in the evaluation process it became clear that the Companys financial resources were not sufficient to support available diversification opportunities, that balance sheet and equity restructuring would be required in order to attract equity funding sufficient to grow the business. Management reached this conclusion concurrent with the close of FY 2013.
Beginning in June 2013 the Company commenced restructuring and in June, 2013 Murat Erbatur resigned as director and COO and in June 2013 the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Ian Gilbey director. Mr. Gilbey had previously been a consultant to the Company providing re-structuring and merger acquisition support. In June the Company moved its head office to Beverly Hills California to better focus on the US market. On July 17, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized a merger with the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, Occidental Development Group Inc., and in the merger, the name of the company was changed to Occidental Development Group Inc. At the same time the Board also approved the filing with the Secretary of State of Nevada a Certificate of Change that effected a 1:10 reverse split in our outstanding common stock and a reduction of our authorized common stock in the same 1:10 ratio, from 800,000,000 shares to 80,000,000 shares. Both of these corporate actions were permitted to be taken by the Companys Board of Directors without stockholder approval under Nevada NRS 92A.180 (for the merger with the subsidiary and name change) and NRS 78.207 (for the change in authorized and outstanding stock).
The changes of the Companys name to Occidental Development Group, Inc. and the 1:10 reverse split, with the concurrent reduction of our authorized common stock in the same ratio and the change in the Companys trading symbol to OXDG, were approved by FINRA and became effective for trading purposes on August 19, 2013.
During the quarter ended August 31, 2013 the Company continued to plan for the complete phase out of its activities in the home automation sector and negotiations were initiated for the acquisition of Ball Park Investments LLC ("BallPark"). The Company's board of directors considered the acquisition of Ballpark a key step in establishing strategic relationships with debt and equity providers.
Effective September 1, 2013, the Company disposed of its subsidiary MCM Technologies Inc. by sale to a previous related party for $1. The transaction was accounted for by rolling up assets and liabilities into a one-time adjustment of ($342,880) to additional paid in capital. Early in the second quarter management completed the acquisition of BallPark. The acquisition of BallPark did not incur any expense, contribute any assets or result in any liabilities. On January 16, 2014 the Company's Board of Directors approved a consent motion to seek shareholder approval to increase the Company's authorized common share capital from 80,000,000 shares to 800,000,000 and on the same day received approval from a majority of shareholders. As of June 2017, execution of the consent motion to increase the Companys authorized common share capital remains pending. Effective March 1, 2014, the Company disposed of its remaining Canadian
21
subsidiary by sale to a third party for $1.00. The transaction was accounted for by rolling up assets and liabilities into a one-time adjustment of ($711,990) to additional paid in capital.
On October 1, 2014 the Company executed a binding Letter of Intent with the Eagle Financial Group (Eagle) defining the terms under which Occidental would acquire Eagle. In January 2015, the Company was advised by the principal of Eagle that Eagle no longer wished to pursue the buyout. As a result of the breach of the binding Letter of Intent by Eagle, the Board is considering the option to pursue a claim of damages.
On April 27, 2015 the Company executed a binding Letter of Intent with 420 International Corp. ("420"), a California company active in the legal marijuana sector. The Letter of Intent outlines an all share transaction in which Occidental acquires 100 percent of the outstanding shares of 420. Under terms of the Agreement, the principal shareholders of Occidental transferred a portion of their shareholdings to the seller in exchange for Occidental receiving 100 percent of the outstanding shares of 420. The acquisition of 420 did not incur any expense, contribute any assets or result in any liabilities and did not result in any change to the Companys total issued and outstanding shares. The share transfer was completed in August 2015.
The Company is actively evaluating opportunities for land acquisition, professional services, hardware development and hardware and equipment supply in support of the California, Oregon, Nevada and Washington medicinal and recreational marijuana (THC and CBD) markets.
Results from ongoing operations reported for the years ending May 31, 2015 and 2014 relate to the Company's corporate activities including restructuring, establishing strategic relationships, compliance and reporting. Results from discontinued operations reported for the years ending May 31, 2015 and 2014 relate to sales of home automation and energy efficiency products and services and phase-out and disposal of assets and liabilities associated with these activities.
Foreign currency translation
The Company's former subsidiaries MCM Integrated Technologies, Ltd. and Cardinal Points Trading, Corp. both used the Canadian Dollar as their functional currency. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the entitys functional currency are translated into the entitys functional currency at the exchange rate ruling on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the exchange rate ruling on the balance sheet date. Currency translation differences are recognized in the statement of income for the period.
On consolidation, the results of operations and cash flows whose functional currency is other than the US dollar are translated into US dollars at the average exchange rate for the period and their assets and liabilities are translated into US dollars at the exchange rate ruling on the balance sheet date. Currency translation differences are recognized within other comprehensive income as a separate component of shareholders equity. In the event that such an operation is sold, the cumulative currency translation differences that are attributable to the operation are reclassified to income.
During the period June 1, 2013 through March 1, 2014 (the date of disposal of the Company's last Canadian subsidiary), the US dollar to Canadian Dollar exchange rate has varied from a low of 0.8945 on January 31, 2014 to a high of 0.9835 on June 18, 2013. The closing exchange rate was 0.900 and the average exchange rate over the period ended March 1, 2014 was 0.9487 resulting in a foreign currency translation loss ($1,551) for the period ended May 31, 2014. For the period ended May 31, 2015 all transactions were in US dollars and there was nil foreign currency translation gain or loss.
Comparison of the Years Ended May 31, 2015 and May 31, 2014
During the quarter ended November 30, 2013 the Company disposed of its home automation business and during the quarter ended May 31, 2014 the Company disposed of its remaining Canadian subsidiary. As a result of the dispositions of the Company's Canadian subsidiaries historical revenues and expenses associated with these activities were re-classified to discontinued operations and were reported as such on
22
the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Accordingly, for the reporting periods ended May 31, 2015 and 2014 the Company reported $0 current and comparative historical revenue, cost of revenue and gross profit associated with continuing operations.
Operating expenses associated with ongoing operations for the year ended May 31, 2015, were $286,483 versus $515,676 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in operating expenses reflects decreased consulting and professional fees.
The Company recorded an operating loss from continuing operations of ($286,483) for the year ended May 31, 2015 compared to an operating loss of ($515,676) for the same period in the prior year. This represents a year-on-year 44% decrease in operating loss.
Total other expenses for the year ended May 31, 2015 were $38,503 compared to $96,836 for the comparable period in the prior year. The 60% year-on-year decrease reflects the net of decreased amortization expenses associated with beneficial conversion and fee discounts and decreased interest expense.
The net loss from continuing operations for the year ended May 31, 2014 was ($324,986) compared to a net loss of ($612,512) for the comparable period in the prior year, a 44% decrease in the year-on-year net loss from continuing operations.
During the year ended May 31, 2015 the Company had no discontinued operations and recorded no activity related to discontinued operations compared to a gain from its discontinued operations of $27,762 for the comparable period in the prior year.
The consolidated net loss for the year ended May 31, 2015 was ($324,986) compared to ($584,750) for the comparable period in the prior year. The Company did not record any Other Comprehensive gain or loss for the current year compared to a comprehensive loss of ($693,492) for the prior year due as a result of foreign currency translation and adjustments to paid in capital resulting from disposal activities. The resulting comprehensive loss for the period ending May 31, 2015 was ($324,986) compared to ($1,278,242) for the corresponding period in the prior year, a decrease of 75%.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
As of May 31, 2015, our principal sources of liquidity included cash and cash equivalents, and loans from related parties. At May 31, 2015, cash and cash equivalents totaled $1,719 compared to $1,719 at May 31, 2014.
Our business continues in transition and our liquidity must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in our stage of re-development. The risk factors and other information included in this Annual Report should be carefully considered. However, the risks and uncertainties described in this Annual Report are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations, financial condition, operating results, and cash flows.
Internal and External Sources of Capital
For the year ending May 31, 2015 the Company realized a loss on operations of ($286,483) and a net loss of ($324,986). As of May 31, 2015 the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,560,135 and limited assets to sell in order to create short or long term liquidity. Therefore, we are dependent on external sources for funding until such time as the Company develops positive net cash flow to maintain liquidity. Until such time as we have positive cash flow on a sustained basis, the dependence on external capital will remain. There are no guarantees that we will be able to raise external capital in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us.
23
Investing Activities
For the year ending May 31, 2015 the Company had no investing activity. During the year ending May 31, 2014 the Company disposed of two vehicles. The Company realized a loss of $640 on one vehicle and a gain of $4,416 on the other vehicle for a net gain of $3,776.
Financing Activities
Since inception, we financed operations through proceeds from the issuance of equity and debt securities and loans from shareholders and others. To date, we raised approximately $14.4 million from the sale of common stock and as at May 31, 2015 we have interest bearing and due on demand borrowings of approximately $603,000 from investors and shareholders. Funds from these sources were used as working capital to fund the development of the Company.
The Company executed a securities purchase agreement dated January 31, 2002 (the "Purchase Agreement") with an accredited investors under which we agreed to sell to the investor our convertible Debentures due one year from the final Closing Date under the Purchase Agreement in the aggregate principal amount of $35,000 bearing interest at the rate of 12% per annum and convertible into restricted shares of our Common Stock at a conversion price for each share of Common Stock equal to the closing bid price per share (as reported by Bloomberg, LP) of our Common Stock on the date of conversion.
The Company executed a securities purchase agreement dated as of December 7, 2005 (the "Purchase Agreement") with certain accredited investors under which we agreed to sell to these investors our convertible Debentures due three years from the final Closing Date under the Purchase Agreement in the aggregate principal amount of up to $600,000 bearing interest at the rate of 6% per annum and convertible into restricted shares of our Common Stock at a conversion price for each share of Common Stock equal to 75% of the lowest closing bid price per share (as reported by Bloomberg, LP) of our Common Stock for the fifteen trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion. At any time, the total number of shares held by each debenture holder is not to exceed 4.99% of the issued and outstanding shares. At the close of the offering the company the company completed the sale of an aggregate of $555,000 in Debentures under the Purchase Agreement which resulted in net proceeds of $424,850. In February 2011 the debenture holders extended the maturity date of the debentures to February 28, 2014. In 2006 the Company secured additional debenture financing from an accredited investor in the amount of $50,000 under terms similar to the December 7, 2005 purchase agreement.
The Company executed a securities purchase agreement dated September 4, 2008 (the "Purchase Agreement") with an accredited investors under which we agreed to sell to the investor our convertible Debentures due June 1, 2010 in the aggregate principal amount of $460,000 bearing interest at the rate of 6% per annum and convertible into restricted shares of our Common Stock at a conversion price for each share of Common Stock equal to the lowest closing bid price per share (as reported by Bloomberg, LP) of our Common Stock over the 20 days on which the Company's shares were traded prior to the date of conversion. On May 20, 2011 the debenture holder extended the maturity of the debenture to June 1, 2014.
The Company executed a series of three securities purchase agreements, dated September 6, 2012, December 5, 2012 and April 25, 2013, with a certain accredited investor under which we agreed to sell to the investor convertible Debentures due 8 months from the Closing Dates under the Purchase Agreements in the aggregate principal amount of $117,500, bearing interest at the rate of 8% per annum and convertible into restricted shares of our Common Stock at a conversion price for each share of Common Stock equal to 58% of the lowest closing bid price per share (as reported by Bloomberg, LP) of our Common Stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion. At any time, the total number of shares held by the debenture holder is not to exceed 4.99% of the issued and outstanding shares.
For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015 the year-on-year balance sheet value of the Companys loan and debenture principal, accrued interest and related party accrued liabilities increased by $258,528.
24
FUTURE PLAN OF OPERATIONS
We operate in a rapidly evolving and highly regulated industry that, as has been estimated by some, will exceed $30 billion in U.S. sales by the year 2020. We have been and will continue to be aggressive in identifying opportunities that we believe will benefit us in the long term. We plan to leverage our expertise, industry network connections and resources to deliver a comprehensive, integrated solution to companies in the cannabis industry from operational and compliance consulting to security and marketing to financing needs.
The Companys board of directors believe that the acquisition of 420 International Corp. will overcome limitations the Company has historically faced raising both funds to support growth and the investment required to achieve market potential. The Company is actively evaluating opportunities for strategic relationships and alliances, for land acquisition, the provision of professional services, hardware development and hardware and equipment supply, and for industry financing - including evaluating opportunities to make direct term loans or to provide revolving lines of credit to businesses involved in the cultivation and sale of cannabis and related products. Target geographical markets include national on-line and the California, Oregon, Nevada and Washington medicinal and recreational marijuana (THC and CBD) markets.
Cash flow from ongoing activities and the availability of investment from related and qualified/accredited third parties are estimated to be sufficient to sustain the Companys planned activities through to the end of the 2018 fiscal year.
OFF BALANCE-SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
During the year ended May 31, 2015 the Company did not engage in any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a) of the SEC's Regulation S-K.
ITEM 7A
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
The Company's outstanding loans and debentures are either at zero interest or at fixed interest over the term of the loan or debenture. Accordingly, the Company has no exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risks
The Company has ceased operations in Canada and has no assets or liabilities in Canadian dollars and limited transactions using the Canadian Dollar as a functional currency. Each financial period, all assets, and liabilities recorded in Canadian dollars are translated into U.S. Dollars, our reporting currency, using the closing rate method.
There are principally two types of foreign exchange risk: transaction risks and translation risks. Transaction risks may impact the results of operations and translation risks may impact comprehensive income. These are discussed more fully below.
Transaction risks
Transactions in currencies other than the US dollar (the Company's functional currency) are translated at either an average exchange rate used for the reporting period in which the transaction took place (to approximate to the exchange rate at the date of transactions for that period) or in some cases the rate in effect at the date of the transaction. Differences in exchange rates during the period between the date a transaction denominated in a foreign currency is consummated and the date on which it is settled or translated, are
25
recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as foreign exchange transaction gains and losses. This exposes us to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the Statement of Operations. The change in exposure from period to period is related to the change in the balance of the bank accounts based on timing of event receipts and payments. For the year ended May 31, 2015, the Company did not purchase goods valued in US dollars for sale in Canadian dollars and was not subject to transaction risk.
Translation risks
The financial statements recorded in foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars using the current rate method. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates while revenue, expenses and cash flows are translated at reporting period weighted average exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from these translations are accumulated and reported as the principal component of other comprehensive loss in stockholders equity.
The Company did not record any foreign currency translation activity for the year ended May 31, 2015.

ITEM 8.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the board of directors and shareholders of Occidental Development Group, Inc., and subsidiaries
Beverly Hills, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Occidental Development Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of May 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders' (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 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 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 Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Occidental Development Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of May 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended May 31, 2015 conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of Occidental Development Group, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Companys financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Companys management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Accounting Method
The Companys financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting.
Accounts Receivable
The Company has adopted the policy to record its accounts receivable at net realizable value. Because of the small customer base, direct contact with customers and relatively small number of transactions, the Company has adopted the direct write off method to account for doubtful accounts. The Company estimates bad debt based on managements ongoing review and assessment of accounts and creation of reserves for the full amount of doubtful accounts. At May 31, 2015 and 2014, there were accounts receivable allowances of NIL.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At May 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not have cash equivalents.

OCCIDENTAL DEVELOPMENT GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2015
Commitments and Contingencies
We record estimated commitments for future obligations and estimate contingencies when information is available that indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When no accrual is made for a loss contingency because one or both of these conditions are not met, or if an exposure to loss exists in excess of the amount accrued, we disclose such contingencies when there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss or an additional loss may have been incurred. Determining the likelihood of incurring a liability and estimating the amount of the liability involves significant judgment. If the outcome of the liability is more adverse to us than management currently expects, then we may have to record additional charges in the future. See Note 6 for details on commitments and contingencies.
Comprehensive Income
The Company accounts for Comprehensive Income in accordance with ASC Topic 220. ASC Topic 220 establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. For the year ending May 31, 2014 the Company reported a comprehensive loss of $693,492 resulting from the conversion of Canadian dollar subsidiaries into US dollars. For the year ending May 31, 2015 the Company did not record a comprehensive gain or loss.
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
The Company accounts for exit or disposal activities in accordance with ASC Topic 220, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities ASC 220 establishes standards for the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated with exit and disposal activities, including restructuring activities. There has been no impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations from adopting ASC 220.
Earnings per Share
The Company has adopted ASC 260 Earnings Per Share. Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share, as the inclusion of common stock equivalents would be antidilutive.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
On July 1, 2008, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820). Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:
·
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
·
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
·
Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.

The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Software Development Costs
Software development costs include direct costs incurred for internally developed products classified under Other Assets. We account for software development costs in accordance with ASC 350-40. All capitalized software costs are amortized on a straight line basis over an estimated useful life and are reviewed for impairment annually. As of May 31, 2015, all software costs were fully amortized.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company's former subsidiaries MCM Integrated Technologies, Ltd. and Cardinal Points Trading, Corp. both used the Canadian Dollar as their functional currency. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the entitys functional currency are translated into the entitys functional currency at the exchange rate ruling

on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the exchange rate ruling on the balance sheet date. Currency translation differences are recognized in the statement of income for the period.
On consolidation, the results of operations and cash flows whose functional currency is other than the US dollar are translated into US dollars at the average exchange rate for the period and their assets and liabilities are translated into US dollars at the exchange rate ruling on the balance sheet date. Currency translation differences are recognized within other comprehensive income as a separate component of shareholders equity. In the event that such an operation is sold, the cumulative currency translation differences that are attributable to the operation are reclassified to income.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, at May 31, 2015 the Company has an accumulated deficit of $16,781,830, and current liabilities in excess of current assets by $1,561,854. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
Commencing in September 2013 and continuing through to March 2014 management systematically phased out of all Canadian operations and re-located the Company's offices to Beverly Hills CA. Commencing in Q2 2014 the Company began reporting all home automation activity under the category of discontinued operations. This transition was completed as of May 31, 2014.
Impairment of long-lived assets
We have adopted ASC 350 for the assessment of impairment of goodwill and indefinite life intangibles on an annual basis. The potential impairment of finite life intangibles is assessed whenever events or a change in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors we consider important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:
·
significant underperformance relative to historical or expected projected future operating results;
·
significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business;
·
significant negative industry or economic trends;
·
significant decline in our stock price for a sustained period of time; and
·
our market capitalization relative to net book value.
When we determine that the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite life intangibles may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, we measure any potential impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by our management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in our current business model.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. References herein to the Company include the Company and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to seven years (see note 3).
Provision for Taxes
We account for income taxes in accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which requires that we recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax benefit (expense) results from the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 740-20, Income Taxes Intra-period Tax Allocation, clarifies the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes recognized in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740-20 by prescribing guidance for the recognition, de-recognition and measurement in financial statements of income tax positions taken in previously filed tax returns or tax positions expected to be taken in tax returns, including a decision whether to file or not to file in a particular jurisdiction. FASB ASC Topic 740-20 requires that any liability created for unrecognized tax benefits is disclosed. The application of FASB ASC Topic 740-20 may also affect the tax bases of assets and liabilities and therefore may change or create deferred tax liabilities or assets. We would recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
At May 31, 2015, the Company had net deferred tax asset calculated at an expected rate of 34% of approximately $4,724,000 principally arising from net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes. As management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax asset has been established at May 31, 2015. The significant components of the deferred tax asset at May 31, 2015 and May 31, 2014 were as follows:
|
| May 31, 2015 |

| May 31, 2014 |

At May 31, 2015, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $13,893,000 which expire in the years 2020 through 2033. The change in the allowance account from May 31, 2014 to May 31, 2015 was $88,921.
The components of current income tax expense as of May 31, 2015 and 2014 respectively are as follows:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2015
For the period ended May 31, 2015, other than a reserve of $150,000 for potential federal tax penalties associated with late filing of foreign subsidiary disclosures, the Company did not record any liabilities for uncertain tax positions.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates revenues designing and installing, integrating and servicing automation solutions and energy use monitoring and conservation systems for commercial and residential new construction and renovation projects. The Company generates revenues in three primary ways: first, the Company offers a complete turnkey solution with products and services to contractors and end users; second, the Company sells only products to its contractors and end users; and third, the Company sells only services to its contractors and end users. Revenue on product sales, service agreements and turnkey contracts is recognized using the completed contract method in accordance with ASC Topic 605 Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.
Use of Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
NOTE 3 PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The useful lives of property and equipment for purposes of computing depreciation are three to seven years. The following is a summary of property, equipment, and accumulated depreciation:
Property and Equipment |

For the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014, depreciation expenses were $Nil. The Company evaluates the recoverability of property and equipment when events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. The Company determines impairment by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by these assets to their respective carrying amounts. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Replacements and betterments are capitalized. The cost and related reserves of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in results of operations.

39
OCCIDENTAL DEVELOPMENT GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2015
The First Asher Note, principal amount $42,500, due in June 2013, is convertible into shares of the Companys common stock, at the discretion of the holder, commencing 180 days following the date of the debenture at a conversion price per share equal to a discount of 42% from the average of the lowest three closing prices for the Companys stock during the ten days prior to conversion or $0.00009 per share whichever is greater.
The Company evaluated the First Asher Note and determined that the shares issuable pursuant to the conversion option were determinate due to the Fixed Floor Conversion Price and, as such, does not constitute a derivative liability as the Company has obtained authorization from a majority of shareholders such that should conversion occur at the Fixed Conversion Price the appropriate number of shares will be available or issuable for settlement to occur. The beneficial conversion feature discount resulting from the conversion price of $0.03, below the market price on September 6, 2012 of $0.038, resulted in a discount of $42,500 of which $42,294 was amortized during the 12 months ended May 31, 2013. The balance of $206 was amortized during the 12 months ended May 31, 2014.
The Second Asher Note, due in September 2013, is convertible into shares of the Companys common stock, at the discretion of the holder, commencing 180 days following the date of the debenture at a conversion price per share equal to a discount of 42% from the average of the lowest three closing prices for the Companys stock during the ten days prior to conversion or $0.00009 per share whichever is greater.
The Company evaluated the Second Asher Note and determined that the shares issuable pursuant to the conversion option were determinate due to the Fixed Floor Conversion Price and, as such, does not constitute a derivative liability as the Company has obtained authorization from a majority of shareholders such that should conversion occur at the Fixed Conversion Price the appropriate number of shares will be available or issuable for settlement to occur. The beneficial conversion feature discount resulting from the conversion price of $0.007 below the market price on December 5, 2012 of $0.020 resulted in a discount of $16,226 of which $10,406 was amortized during the 12 months ended May 31, 2013. The balance of $5,820 was amortized during the 12 months ended May 31, 2014.
The Third Asher Note, due in December 2013, is convertible into shares of the Companys common stock, at the discretion of the holder, commencing 180 days following the date of the debenture at a conversion price per share equal to a discount of 42% from the average of the lowest three closing prices for the Companys stock during the ten days prior to conversion or $0.00009 per share whichever is greater.
The Company evaluated the Third Asher Note and determined that the shares issuable pursuant to the conversion option were determinate due to the Fixed Floor Conversion Price and, as such, does not constitute a derivative liability as the Company has obtained authorization from a majority of shareholders such that should conversion occur at the Fixed Conversion Price the appropriate number of shares will be available or issuable for settlement to occur. The beneficial conversion feature discount resulting from the conversion price of $0.004, below the market price on September 6, 2012 of $0.007, resulted in a discount of $27,765 of which $4,080 was amortized during the 12 months ended May 31, 2013. The balance of $23,685 was amortized during the 12 months ended May 31, 2014.
Pursuant to the terms of the Asher debentures, and by agreement with Asher, the Company has instructed its stock transfer agent to reserve an agreed upon number of shares of the Companys common stock to be issued if the debenture is converted. As of May 31, 2015, 3,000,000 shares have been reserved, but are not considered as issued and outstanding.
During the year ended May 31, 2013, the Company converted third party accounts payable of $85,000 and $125,000 to short term non-interest bearing convertible notes due June 2013 and December 31, 2013 respectively. The principal is convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to the lowest closing price per share of the Companys common stock for the 20 days on which the Company's shares traded

immediately preceding the date of conversion or at a price of $0.0005 per share whichever is greater. The Company evaluated the convertible notes and determined that the shares issuable pursuant to the conversion options were determinate due to the Fixed Floor Conversion Price and, as such, do not constitute a derivative liability as the Company has obtained authorization from a majority of shareholders such that should conversion occur at the Fixed Conversion Price the appropriate number of shares will be available or issuable for settlement to occur. The beneficial conversion feature discount associated with the $85,000 note, resulting from the conversion price of $0.001 below the market price on December 31, 2012 of $0.021, resulted in a discount of $4,250 of which $4,222 was amortized during the 5 months ended May 31, 2013. The balance of $28 was amortized during the 12 months ended May 31, 2014. The $125,000 note was evaluated and it was determined that there was no associated beneficial conversion feature discount.
All third party notes and debentures were fully discounted as at May 31, 2014.

NOTE 13 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230). ASU No. 2016-18 requires that restricted cash be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the change in cash flow. This guidance will be effective for the Company for its fiscal year 2017, with early adoption permitted.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. The standard is intended to simplify several areas of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements, including the income tax impact, classification on the statement of cash flows and forfeitures. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt the new guidance in the second quarter of fiscal year 2016 which requires us to reflect any adjustments as of January 1, 2016, the beginning of the annual period that includes the interim period of adoption. The primary impact of adoption was the recognition of additional stock compensation expense and paid-in capital for all periods in fiscal year 2016. Additional amendments to the recognition of excess tax benefits, accounting for income taxes and minimum statutory withholding tax requirements had no impact to retained earnings as of January 1, 2016, where the cumulative effect of these changes are required to be recorded. We have elected to account for forfeitures as they occur to determine the amount of compensation cost to be recognized in each period.
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. Under this guidance, an entity is required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. This guidance offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, and requires a modified retrospective adoption, with

early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments”, which requires the acquirer in a business combination to recognize in the reporting period in which adjustment amounts are determined, any adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. Prior to the issuance of ASU 2015-16, an acquirer was required to restate prior period financial statements as of the acquisition date for adjustments to provisional amounts. ASU 2015-16 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-16 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date”. This amendment defers the effective date of the previously issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), until the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The FASBs ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), was issued in three parts: (a) Section A, Summary and Amendments That Create Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and Other Assets and Deferred Costs-Contracts with Customers (Subtopic 340-40), (b) Section B, Conforming Amendments to Other Topics and Subtopics in the Codification and Status Tables and (c) Section C, Background Information and Basis for Conclusions. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Earlier application is permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company intends to adopt the provisions of ASU 2015-14 for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2015-14 on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015, the FASB, issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”, which requires an entity to measure inventory within the scope of the ASU at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The amendments in ASU 2015-11 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2015-11 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In connection with the preparation of this annual report on Form 10-K, an evaluation was carried out by our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act")) as of May 31, 2015. The evaluation concluded that there was a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2015. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the issuers annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness related to the lack of monitoring or review of work performed by our management and lack of segregation of duties. As of May 31, 2015, in the preparation of audited financial statements, footnotes and financial data, all of our financial reporting was carried out solely by our chief financial and accounting officer and we did not have an audit committee to monitor and review the work performed. The lack of segregation of duties resulted from lack of accounting staff with accounting technical expertise necessary for an effective system of internal control. Based on this evaluation the Chief Executive and Principal Financial Officer has concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the reasons stated below.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. To address the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Companys management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
46
Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the interim or annual consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness in 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.
Management conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2015 based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsor Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
Based upon its evaluation, our management concluded that there was a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2015. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the issuers annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The material weakness related to the lack of monitoring or review of work performed by our management and lack of segregation of duties. As of May 31, 2015, in the preparation of audited financial statements, footnotes and financial data, all of our financial reporting was carried out solely by our chief financial and accounting officer and we did not have an audit committee to monitor and review the work performed. The lack of segregation of duties resulted from lack of accounting staff with accounting technical expertise necessary for an effective system of internal control.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(f) or 15(d)-15(f)) that occurred during fourth quarter of the period covered by this yearly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this annual report.
