General Overview

 

Our company was incorporated on January 6, 2011 in the State of Nevada. We offer a suite of cloud communications, cloud connectivity, cloud computing, and managed cloud-based applications solutions to small, medium, and large businesses; and offers domestic and international voice services to communications carriers worldwide. It offers a suite of advanced data center and cloud-based services, including fault tolerant, high availability cloud servers, which comprise platform as a service, infrastructure as a service, and a content delivery network; managed network services that converge voice and data applications, structured cabling, wireless, and security services, as well as include Internet access via Ethernet or fiber at speeds ranging from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps; and data center solutions, including cloud services, colocation services, and business continuity services, such as storage and security. www.gawkinc.com.

 

Our Current Business

 

We offer a comprehensive suite of cloud communications, cloud connectivity, cloud computing, and managed cloud-based applications solutions to small, medium and large businesses, and offers domestic and international voice services to communications carriers worldwide. Our advanced, cloud services platforms enable the integration of leading edge solutions in the cloud, increasing customer collaboration and productivity by seamlessly connecting employees, partners, customers and vendors.

 

In the Business Services segment, Gawk is focused on becoming our business customers’ single source for leveraging the increasing power of the cloud, providing a robust package of what we believe to be the essential services that form the foundation for their successful migration to, and efficient use of, the cloud. Our cloud computing and Infrastructure as a Service (“IaaS”) solutions are designed to provide our customers with a platform on which additional cloud services can be layered. Complemented by Software as a Service (“SaaS”) solutions such as storage, security and business continuity, our advanced cloud offerings allow our customers to experience the increased efficiencies and agility delivered by the cloud. Gawk's cloud-based services are flexible, scalable and rapidly deployed, reducing our customers’ cost of ownership while increasing their productivity.

 

As a result of our growth through acquisition strategy, Gawk continues to expand its business customer base, revenue stream and added a significant number of network facilities and points of presence expanding its geographic reach. Through these acquisitions, we acquired advanced systems and infrastructure, augmented our management team and employee base with talented, experienced, well-trained professionals, while continuing to provide a strong platform for further acquisitions.

 

Gawk is pursuing a three-tiered growth strategy: developing specialized solutions for key vertical markets, targeting cloud services companies for acquisition, and accelerating organic growth. Our continuing effort to deliver advanced cloud solutions to companies with more complex requirements is supported by our cloud solutions platform that allows us to rapidly respond to our customers and potential customers’ needs for customized or enhanced solutions. We also intend to continue to develop vertically oriented solutions to expand our revenue opportunities and further differentiate our service suite. We intend to acquire additional cloud services companies that can further expand our customer base, allow us to introduce additional cloud products and services, and gain scale. Our strategy to organically grow our Business Services revenue includes securing large strategic distribution partners, increasing our direct as well as indirect channel sales efforts, upselling solutions to our existing base and leveraging our management, Board of Directors and shareholder relationship network.

 

Business Services

 

Our Cloud-based services are designed to meet the communications, network and computing requirements of growing businesses, while maximizing the price-performance ratio. We believe that giving our customers access to the Cloud provides a more cost-effective, reliable and secure communications and IT experience, and relieves them of the capital and support burdens associated with more traditional services. Additionally, customers can reduce costs while adding features and functionality and improving productivity across the enterprise. Gawk is increasingly focused on providing specialized, market-based solutions to important verticals and larger enterprises, matching our advanced solutions to key industry-specific customer requirements.

 

We offer a suite of advanced data center and cloud-based services, including fault tolerant, high availability cloud servers, which encompasses PaaS (platform as a service), IaaS (infrastructure as a service) and a worldwide CDN (content delivery network). In-building connectivity provides diverse and redundant access to the cloud for our Irvine location customers. The Company’s managed network services converge voice and data applications, structured cabling, wireless, security services, and includes Internet access via Ethernet or Fiber at speeds ranging from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps. Our data center solutions include cloud services, colocation services, and business continuity services such as storage, and security.

Cloud Computing

 

Gawk’s Cloud Computing service centralizes information management, hardware, network and infrastructure in an off-premise location, hosted and managed by Gawk. Offered as private, hybrid or community solutions, Gawk’s secure offerings drive efficiencies in both costs and resources allowing for rapid scalability and deployment of applications. These offerings provide a predictable, utility-based OpEx model, which eliminates significant capital expenditures, removes obsolescence concerns and future-proofs customer investments.

 

Cloud-Based Storage

 

Gawk offers a solution that addresses the explosive growth of data across all industries with a cost-effective and secure storage solution hosted in the cloud. This scalable, fully redundant solution is hosted off-premise, reduces customer data center footprints and resource requirements, and facilitates additional SaaS solutions that can be accommodated on the same cloud platform. Gawk delivers a storage and data back-up assessment service as part of its storage offering, measuring growth and duplication benchmarked against best practices. The solution consolidates requirements across the enterprise, increases efficiency and achieves economies of scale designed to reduce overall customer costs.

 

Service Plans

 

Gawk’s business communications services generally offer several different service packages designed to meet specific customer needs and requirements. Base level plans offer a basic service package for a low monthly recurring charge. Additional charges, such as SIP, PBX, wireless, security or network consulting are charges on an individual case basis. Optional value-added features for basic services are available for an incremental monthly charge appropriate for the service. Cloud connectivity services such as In Building Internet access services and/or private line services are charged on a fixed monthly basis, and are generally based on the bandwidth utilized and the endpoints involved. Cloud computing services are based on a utility pricing model, and charges for managed cloud solutions are generally composed of an upfront charge and a monthly recurring charge. Gawk’s business customer contracts range from one to five years.

 

Network

 

Gawk operates a robust and reliable carrier-grade network and infrastructure that delivers high quality, diverse and secure connections to our Cloud services. Our Managed Network Services, Internet Access, Ethernet, Fiber and Cloud based solutions can be provided either on-net leveraging our own extensive network, or off-net using the networks of our carrier partners, for truly diverse and redundant connections.

 

Our Data Center and Business Services network operations centers are highly automated and monitored 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Our centers employ state-of-the-art monitoring and alert systems that are designed to ensure quality of service and a proactive response to potential customer service issues.

 

The Gawk network is characterized by its low cost of deployment and low recurring costs. It has been constructed to meet actual, rather than speculative, customer demand with on-net and off-net connections to provide ubiquitous access, delivering maximum cost efficiency without sacrificing quality. Our robust network is designed as a fully meshed OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) running BGP with multiple peers. OSPF automatically detects changes in the topology, such as link failures, and selects a new routing structure within seconds.

 

Gawk’s centralized network elements are housed in carrier-grade facilities located in secure carrier buildings that house many other carriers and are interconnected to other major carrier buildings. These locations allow for cost-effective and rapid interconnection and capacity expansion to carrier customers, as well as major enterprise customers. Gawk believes its selected locations and equipment choices provide the platform required to support its envisioned growth and will allow it to quickly embrace emerging technologies as they become commercially available and viable.

Cloud Services Platform

 

Our custom Cloud services platform was designed and developed by our own team of experienced technicians with many years using advanced, yet proven technology. This platform is scalable, flexible and secure, delivering an integrated portfolio of Cloud-based communications services that enable businesses of every size to increase productivity and efficiency while controlling costs. Information management, hardware, network and infrastructure are centralized off-premise, hosted and managed by us, allowing customers to rapidly adjust to fluctuating and unpredictable service demands, drive efficiencies in staff and space, and eliminate the need for costly technology upgrades. The architecture of our platform has been designed to allow for the seamless integration of additional Cloud-based applications, whether or not developed by Gawk. Gawk’s custom platform allows faster, easier, more cost-effective introduction of new, business-critical applications, delivering a unique feature set engineered to quickly respond to customer demands and market requirements. We differentiate ourselves from our competitors by combining our robust carrier-grade network services to enable secure connections to the Cloud, delivering true diversity and a fully integrated solution for maximum efficiency and cost savings.

 

Our custom platform has been engineered using advanced technologies, best of breed equipment and provides for redundancy, fault tolerance and future geographical diversity. The platform has been designed for scalability as well as resiliency, and can be easily expanded to accommodate any required number of connections and customers. Platform solutions are location and device neutral, serving multiple as well as single locations nationwide, connecting users to customers and other employees on desktops, laptops, handsets, tablets and mobile phones, wherever they may be. The platform is currently deployed in our Irvine data center; the platform has a fully functional, redundant system whose services can be replicated at additional locations in a cost effective and timely manner. Thus, should one of the data centers be hit with a catastrophic event, customers should experience no interruption of service. The result is to ensure a proven, reliable and consistent uptime, which is crucial for delivering mission critical solutions.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

We market and sell our business services to small, medium and large customers through distribution partners, direct sales personnel and inside sales representatives. Our independent distribution partners are typically paid commissions based on their sales and, thereafter, the continued use of our services by the customers sold by them. Our sales employees, including direct sales and inside sales, are typically compensated through a combination of base salary and commissions based on their actual sales performance.

 

Our distribution partners generally target smaller- to medium- size businesses, while our direct sales force focuses on the larger enterprise customers in our targeted verticals. We believe that our Cloud platform, infrastructure, systems and connectivity provide a strong competitive advantage in serving these larger enterprise customers, creating real value with specialized solutions that meet their more complex and rigorous requirements. Referrals, strategic relationships and the strength of our corporate relationships are also a key part of our overall sales and marketing plan. We believe that the substantial experience and relationships of our executives and directors will assist us in organically growing our business through the addition of new customers.

 

Strategy

 

Our recent acquisitions and improved financial performance are important milestones in our strategic roadmap as we work to become the industry’s leading and most successful cloud services provider. Our plans for growth are supported by an experienced and tested management team and dedicated staff, our advanced cloud services platforms, and leading edge systems and infrastructure. We believe we are well positioned to continue to execute on our strategy to organically grow our revenue from the Business Services segment, develop vertically oriented solutions and acquire additional cloud services companies.

 

Gawk intends to grow organically through direct as well as indirect channel sales efforts; by securing large strategic distribution partners to extend our geographic and vertical market reach; through the up-sale and cross-sale of services to our existing customer base; and by leveraging management, Board and shareholder relationships to help penetrate larger enterprises.

Table of Contents

 

We intend to increasingly focus our sales and marketing efforts on developing vertically oriented solutions for targeted markets that require the kind of specialized solutions made possible by our state-of-the-art network and advanced services platforms. Our vertically oriented solutions offer a substantial opportunity to gain market share.

 

Competition

 

Each of Gawk’s business segments are highly competitive, rapidly evolving, and subject to constant technological change. In each of our business segments, we compete with companies that are significantly larger and have substantially greater market presence, financial, technical, operational and marketing resources than we do. In the event that such a competitor expends significant sales and marketing resources in one or several markets where we compete with them, we may not be able to compete successfully in those markets. Specialized cloud services providers, who focus on one or more cloud service or application, could adopt aggressive pricing and promotion practices that could impact our ability to compete. We also believe that competition will continue to increase, placing downward pressure on prices. Such pressure could adversely affect our gross margins if we are not able to reduce our costs commensurate with the price reductions of our competitors. Further, the pace of technological change makes it impossible for us to predict whether we will face new competitors using different technologies to provide the same or similar services offered or proposed to be offered by us. If our competitors were to provide better and more cost effective services than ours, we may not be able to increase our revenues or capture any significant market share.

 

Employees

 

As of January 31, 2017, we had 11 full time employees. None of our employees are represented by a labor union or collective bargaining agreement. We consider our employee relations to be good, and, to date, we have not experienced a work stoppage.

The Market and Industry

 

Through Gawk’s recent acquisitions we have focused our efforts within the technology sector specializing in high-demand, high-availability hosting solutions and professional IT services. Gawk provides enterprise-level hosting services to businesses of any size through our carefully-planned architecture and commitment to providing excellent support. Products offered include PaaS (platform as a service), IaaS (infrastructure as service), colocation space, dedicated servers, cloud services, shared hosting, email, spam filtering and network consulting services. Additional infrastructure services at our Irvine location include in-building bandwidth services; in-building structured cabling and managed network services. At various customer sites across Southern California Gawk provides private cloud services, security services and managed network services.

 

Our cloud-based services are designed to meet the communications, network and computing requirements of growing businesses, while maximizing the price-performance ratio. Our experience has demonstrated that giving our customers access to the cloud provides a more cost-effective, reliable and secure IT experience; relieves them of the capital and support burdens associated with traditional services. Additionally, customers can reduce costs while adding features, functionality and improving productivity across the enterprise.

· “Amazon Web Services’ (AWS) continues to hold the lead in market share for cloud infrastructure services despite competition from Microsoft, according to latest figures from Synergy Research. The research, which examines infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), private and hybrid cloud, sees AWS’ overall share at 28%, compared to Microsoft’s 10%, IBM at 7%, Google at 5%, Salesforce 4%, and Rackspace 3%. Year on year growth saw Microsoft (96%) and Google (88%) the biggest climbers, with Amazon (51%) and IBM (48%) holding steady.

 

 

 

 

· Comparative figures from Synergy in previous quarters have shown Microsoft strive to claim second position in the cloud infrastructure market, with AWS way out in front. Many actual or perceived barriers to cloud adoption have now been removed, and the worldwide market is on a strong growth trajectory.” Source: By James Bourne 03 February 2015, Cloudtech, www. cloudcomputing-news.net

 

AWS continues to be the provider of choice for the large enterprise customer however; the cost to scale AWS instances can be prohibitively expensive even in the wake of recent price cuts. Price sensitive customers and knowledgeable IT professions find that the cost to grow infrastructure and the ability to migrate to another platform from AWS is a major concern. The Cloud services we offer are flexible, secure, and highly portable while simultaneously price completive in the market place.

 

Our latest Cloud offering frees us from proprietary third party hardware and the associated cost constraints to our growth. We continue to enjoy our long standing relationships with companies like cPanel, Microsoft, Spam Experts and the Irvine Company. We welcome recent relationships with OnApp, WHMCS and Level3 .

The significant increase in operating expenses was largely due to an increase in general and administrative expense of $1,375,287, legal settlement of $471,000, impairment loss of $3,807,207 and depreciation and amortization expense of $590,751.

 

Impairment loss increased to $4,369,707 from $562,500 for the years ended January 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We recognized $3,729,321 impairment loss of Goodwill and intangible assets of Net D and $77,886 of impairment loss of Goodwill of XTELUS because we determined the implied fair value of goodwill was substantially below the carrying value of the reporting unit's goodwill and intangible assets and $562,500 impairment loss of Deposit – CipherLoc (CLOK) - because the software has not been delivered to us.

Legal settlement expense increased to $525,000 from $54,000 for the years ended January 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Our legal settlement increased from the cost of legal expenses related to the settlement with Stoneridge Capital.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $746,487 from $155,736 for the years ended January 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Our depreciation and amortization expenses increase due to the business combination of Net D and Connexum whereas the assets were placed in service and depreciate over a three (3) year period starting May 1, 2015 and January 18, 2016, respectively.

The change in working capital deficiency during 2016 was primarily from a reduction in current assets by $261,783 or 33% as compared to January 31, 2016, due to a reduction of deposit of $562,500 offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $186,584 and an increase in current liabilities by $1,855,131 as compared to January 31, 2016, due to an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,235,932, increase in derivative liabilities of $1,468,447, offset by a decrease in contingent consideration of $1,000,000.

 

Cash flows from operations. 

 

Our cash used in operating activities were $635,292 and $472,072 for the years ended January 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. During the year ended January 31, 2017, cash used in operating activities of $635,292 was a result of $12,303,664 of net loss, non-cash adjustments to net loss of $9,952,160 and a decrease in the net change in operating assets and liabilities of $1,716,212. During the year ended January 31, 2016, cash used in operating activities of $472,072 was a result of $6,743,113 of net loss, non-cash adjustments to net loss of $5,742,680 and a decrease in the net change in operating assets and liabilities of $528,361.

 

Cash flows from investing activities. Cash provided by investing activities were $401,449 and $(134,531) for the years ended January 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. This generation of cash is majorly due to the sale of asset (Discontinued Operations) for $401,052 during the year ended January 31, 2017.

Contractual Obligations

 

As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations.

 

Going Concern

 

Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate future profitable operations and/or obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. We intend to finance operating costs over the next twelve months through continued financial support from our shareholders and private placements of common stock.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

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

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. The impact on our business operations and any associated risks related to these policies are discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations when such policies affect our reported or expected financial results.

Table of Contents

 

In the ordinary course of business, we have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial condition in the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require our most difficult, subjective, and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

 

The material estimates for our company are that of the valuation of intangibles, goodwill impairment, derivatives, stock-based compensation recorded for options and warrants issued, and the income tax valuation allowance recorded for deferred tax assets. The fair values of options are determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. We have no historical data on the accuracy of these estimates. The estimated sensitivity to change is related to the various variables of the Black-Scholes option pricing model stated below. The specific quantitative variables are included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The estimated fair value of options is recognized as expense on the straight-line basis over the options’ vesting periods. The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the expected life, dividend yield, expected volatility, and risk-free interest rate weighted-average assumptions used for options and warrants granted. Expected volatility for 2017 and 2016 was estimated using the average historical volatility of Gawk’s historical common stock prices. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the grant date. The expected life of options is based on the life of the instrument on grant date.

 

Basis of Accounting and Going Concern

 

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with GAAP. In addition, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We generated accumulated losses of approximately $26 million through January 31, 2017 and have insufficient working capital and cash flows to support operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

 

Marketable securities and other investments

 

We adopted ASC 825, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. Under this statement, an entity may elect to use fair value to measure eligible items. The adoption of this statement did not have an impact on our results of operations or financial condition. We classify these investments as current assets and carry them at fair value. We recognize all unrealized and realized gains and losses on our available-for-sale securities in other income in the accompanying statement of operations.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Our company pursues opportunities to realize revenues from consulting services. It is our company’s policy that revenues and gains will be recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 605-10-25, “Revenue Recognition.” Under ASC Topic 605-10-25, revenue earning activities are recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

Table of Contents

 

Our Business Services revenue includes monthly recurring charges (“MRC”) to customers, for whom charges are contracted over a specified period of time, and variable usage fees charged to customers that purchase our business products and services. Revenue recognition commences after the provisioning, testing and acceptance of the service by the customer. MRC continue until the expiration of the contract, or until cancellation of the service by the customer. To the extent that payments received from a customer are related to a future period, the payment is recorded as deferred revenue until the service is provided or the usage occurs.

 

Our Carrier Services revenue is primarily derived from usage fees charged to other carriers that terminate voice traffic over our network. Variable revenue is earned based on the length of a call, as measured by the number of minutes of duration. It is recognized upon completion of the call, and is adjusted to reflect the allowance for billing adjustments. Revenue for each customer is calculated from information received through our network switches. Our customized software tracks the information from the switches and analyzes the call detail records against stored detailed information about revenue rates. This software provides us with the ability to complete a timely and accurate analysis of revenue earned in a period. We believe that the nature of this process is such that recorded revenues are unlikely to be revised in future periods.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

Our company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of an equity instrument based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Employee awards are accounted for under ASC 718 - where the awards are valued at grant date. Awards given to nonemployees are accounted for under ASC 505 where the awards are valued at earlier of commitment date or completion of services. Compensation cost for employee awards is recognized over the vesting or requisite service period. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model is used to estimate the fair value of options or warrants granted.

 

Convertible Notes

 

Convertible notes are regarded as compound instruments, consisting of a liability component and an equity component. The component parts of compound instruments are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for a similar non-convertible instrument. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortized cost basis until extinguished upon conversion or at the instrument’s maturity date. The equity component is determined by deducting the amount of the liability component from the fair value of the compound instrument as a whole. This is recognized as additional paid-in capital and included in equity, net of income tax effects, and is not subsequently remeasured. After initial measurement, they are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of an embedded conversion option that is convertible into a variable amount of shares and warrants that include price protection reset provision features are deemed to be “down-round protection” and, therefore, do not meet the scope exception for treatment as a derivative under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”, since “down-round protection” is not an input into the calculation of the fair value of the conversion option and warrants and cannot be considered “indexed to our company’s own stock” which is a requirement for the scope exception as outlined under ASC 815.

 

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that our company record the embedded conversion option and warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. Our company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was used to estimate the fair value of the conversion options. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time, of our common stock, equal to the weighted average life of the options.

 

Conversion options are recorded as debt discount and are amortized as interest expense over the life of the underlying debt instrument.

 

Also, refer Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the consolidated financial statements that are included in this Report.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

During the fourth quarter of January 31, 2016, our company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03, "Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs," which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability. This standard requires retrospective application. There were no debt issuance costs in the prior year that required reclassification.

 

For discussion of other recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements, please see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included herein.

GAWK INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2017 AND 2016

 

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Gawk Incorporated (“we”, “our”, the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on January 6, 2011 with principal business address at 5300 Melrose Avenue, Suite 42, Los Angeles, CA. The Company offers a suite of cloud communications, cloud connectivity, cloud computing, and managed cloud-based applications solutions to small, medium, and large businesses; and offers domestic and international voice services to communications carriers worldwide. It offers a suite of advanced data center and cloud-based services, including fault tolerant, high availability cloud servers, which comprise platform as a service, infrastructure as a service, and a content delivery network; managed network services that converge voice and data applications, structured cabling, wireless, and security services, as well as include Internet access via Ethernet or fiber at speeds ranging from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps; and data center solutions, including cloud services, colocation services, and business continuity services, such as storage and security. Our website is located at www.gawkinc.com 

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has an accumulated deficit at January 31, 2017 of $26,361,315, a net loss for the year ended January 31, 2017 of $12,303,664, cash flows used in operating activities of $635,292 and needs additional cash to maintain its operations.

 

These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations, continued contributions from the Company’s executive officers to finance its operations and the ability to obtain additional funding sources to explore potential strategic relationships and to provide capital and other resources for the further development and marketing of the Company’s products and business.

 

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Significant accounting policies are as follows:

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and (iii) the reported amount of net revenues and expenses recognized during the periods presented. Adjustments made with respect to the use of estimates often relate to improved information not previously available. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of financial statements; accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company’s most significant estimates relate to the valuation of its intangible assets, goodwill impairment, derivative liabilities, and the valuation of its common stock.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. We currently have no investments accounted for using the equity or cost methods of accounting.

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At January 31, 2017 and 2016, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash in the bank.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

We account for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350 "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other" ("ASC 350"). ASC 350 requires that goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased below its carrying value. In addition, ASC 350 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests when circumstances indicate that the recoverability of the carrying amount of goodwill may be in doubt. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units; assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value of reporting units include estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions or the occurrence of one or more confirming events in future periods could cause the actual results or outcomes to materially differ from such estimates and could also affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment at future reporting dates.

 

We completed an evaluation of intangible assets and goodwill at January 31, 2017 and 2016, and recognized an impairment loss of $3,807,207 and $1,200,003 during the year ended January 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

The cost of intangible assets with determinable useful lives is amortized to reflect the pattern of economic benefits consumed, either on a straight-line or accelerated basis over the estimated periods benefited. Patents, technology and other intangibles with contractual terms are generally amortized over their respective legal or contractual lives. Customer relationships, brands and other non-contractual intangible assets with determinable lives are amortized over periods 3 years. When certain events or changes in operating conditions occur, an impairment assessment is performed and lives of intangible assets with determinable lives may be adjusted.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the undiscounted future cash flows to the recorded value of the asset. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment, consisting mostly of computer equipment, is recorded at cost reduced by accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is recognized over the assets’ estimated useful lives of three years using the straight-line method. Major additions and improvements are capitalized as additions to the property and equipment accounts, while replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred. Estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed and, when appropriate, changes are made prospectively. When certain events or changes in operating conditions occur, asset lives may be adjusted and an impairment assessment may be performed on the recoverability of the carrying amounts.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts

 

Substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable balance is related to trade receivables. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments for services. Accounts with known financial issues are first reviewed and specific estimates are recorded. The remaining accounts receivable balances are then grouped in categories by the number of days the balance is past due, and the estimated loss is calculated as a percentage of the total category based upon past history. Account balances are charged against the allowance when it is probable that the receivable will not be recovered. As of January 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had a valuation allowance for doubtful accounts of $18,876 and $0, respectively, for the Company’s accounts receivable. During the years ended January 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded bad debt expense for uncollectible amounts of $18,876 and $11,782, respectively.

Marketable securities and other investments

 

We adopted ASC 825, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. Under this statement, an entity may elect to use fair value to measure eligible items. The adoption of this statement did not have an impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

 

We classify these investments as current assets and carry them at fair value. We recognize all unrealized and realized gains and losses on our available-for-sale securities in other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company pursues opportunities to realize revenues from consulting services. It is the company’s policy that revenues and gains will be recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 605-10-25, “Revenue Recognition.” Under ASC Topic 605-10-25, revenue earning activities are recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Our Business Services revenue includes monthly recurring charges (“MRC”) to customers, for whom charges are contracted over a specified period of time, and variable usage fees charged to customers that purchase our business products and services. Revenue recognition commences after the provisioning, testing and acceptance of the service by the customer. MRCs continue until the expiration of the contract, or until cancellation of the service by the customer. To the extent that payments received from a customer are related to a future period, the payment is recorded as deferred revenue until the service is provided or the usage occurs.

 

Our Carrier Services revenue is primarily derived from usage fees charged to other carriers that terminate voice traffic over our network. Variable revenue is earned based on the length of a call, as measured by the number of minutes of duration. It is recognized upon completion of the call, and is adjusted to reflect the allowance for billing adjustments. Revenue for each customer is calculated from information received through our network switches. Our customized software tracks the information from the switches and analyzes the call detail records against stored detailed information about revenue rates. This software provides us with the ability to complete a timely and accurate analysis of revenue earned in a period. We believe that the nature of this process is such that recorded revenues are unlikely to be revised in future periods.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company utilizes the asset and liability method in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards and for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that the value of such assets will be realized.

 

The Company uses the two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not, that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount, which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating the Company's tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments. At January 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not record any liabilities for uncertain tax positions.

Research and Development and Software Development Costs

 

Capitalization of certain software development costs are recorded after the determination of technological feasibility. Based on our product development process, technological feasibility is determined upon the completion of a working model. To date, costs incurred by us from the completion of the working model to the point at which the product is ready for general release have been insignificant. Accordingly, we have charged all such costs to research and development expense in the period incurred. Our research and development costs for the years ended January 31, 2017 and 2016 were $0 and $2,500, respectively.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of an equity instrument based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Employee awards are accounted for under ASC 718 - where the awards are valued at grant date. Awards given to nonemployees are accounted for under ASC 505 where the awards are valued at earlier of commitment date or completion of services. Compensation cost for employee awards is recognized over the vesting or requisite service period. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model is used to estimate the fair value of options or warrants granted.

 

Related Parties

 

The Company follows ASC 850, "Related Party Disclosures," for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. See note 16.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

 

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The weighted average number of shares is calculated by taking the number of shares outstanding and weighting them by the amount of time that they were outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options, warrants, and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company. For the year ended January 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, the following options, warrants, convertible notes and Series A convertible preferred stock were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per shares as the result of the computation was anti-dilutive.

Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share during periods where net losses are incurred since the inclusion of the potential common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive as a result of the net loss.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

All of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are maintained in regional and national financial institutions. The Company has exposure to credit risk to the extent that its cash and cash equivalents exceed amounts covered by the U.S. federal deposit insurance; however, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. In management’s opinion, the capitalization and operating history of the financial institutions are such that the likelihood of material loss is remote.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of an embedded conversion option that is convertible into a variable amount of shares and warrants that include price protection reset provision features are deemed to be “down-round protection” and, therefore, do not meet the scope exception for treatment as a derivative under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”, since “down-round protection” is not an input into the calculation of the fair value of the conversion option and warrants and cannot be considered “indexed to the Company’s own stock” which is a requirement for the scope exception as outlined under ASC 815.

 

 
F-10
 
Table of Contents

 

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the embedded conversion option and warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.

 

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was used to estimate the fair value of the embedded conversion options and warrants. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time, of our common stock, equal to the weighted average life of the options.

 

Conversion options are recorded as debt discount and are amortized as interest expense over the life of the underlying debt instrument.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and debt. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate their respective estimated fair value due to the short-term maturities and approximate market interest rates of these instruments.

 

The Company adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC Topic 820”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard provides a consistent definition of fair value which focuses on an exit price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standard also prioritizes, within the measurement of fair value, the use of market-based information over entity specific information and establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based on the nature of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.

 

The three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements is defined as follows:

 

 

· Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; 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 other than quoted prices, either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active; or directly or indirectly including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active;

 

 

 

 

· Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement

 

The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at January 31, 2017 and January 31, 2016 for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In September 2017, the FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Leases (Topic 840), and Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to the Staff Announcement at the July 20, 2017 EITF Meeting and Rescission of Prior SEC Staff Announcements and Observer Comments.” The amendments in ASU No. 2017-13 amends the early adoption date option for certain companies related to the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 and ASU No. 2016-02. Both of the below entities may still adopt using the public company adoption guidance in the related ASUs, as amended. The effective date is the same as the effective date and transition requirements for the amendments for ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2016-02.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update which modifies the requirements for identifying, allocating, and recognizing revenue related to the achievement of performance conditions under contracts with customers. This update also requires additional disclosure related to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized under contracts with customers. This guidance is effective for fiscal and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and is required to be applied retrospectively to all revenue arrangements. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” These amendments eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. In addition, income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit should be considered when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The amendments also eliminate the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. Effective for public business entities that are a SEC filers for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. ASU 2017-04 should be adopted on a prospective basis.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This new standard clarifies the definition of a business and provides a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This new standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, however, early adoption is permitted with prospective application to any business development transaction.

 

In December 2016, the FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The amendments affect narrow aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2014-09 including Loan Guarantee Fees, Contract Costs, Provisions for Losses on Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, Disclosure of Remaining Performance Obligations, Disclosure of Prior Period Performance Obligations, Contract Modifications, Contract Asset vs. Receivable, Refund Liability, Advertising Costs, Fixed Odds Wagering Contracts in the Casino Industry, and Costs Capitalized for Advisors to Private Funds and Public Funds. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606. Public entities should apply Topic 606 (and related amendments) for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein.

 

The Company is currently evaluating the method of adoption and the potential impact that Topic 606 may have on our financial position and results of operations.

 

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Webrunner, Inc. assets includes IP Address space assigned to it through American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) which consists of a /19, pronounced “Slash Nineteen”, which contains 8192 IP Addresses that are used in conjunction with our services provided to our customers.

 

An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a numerical label assigned to each device (e.g., computer, printer) participating in a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. An IP address serves two principal functions: host or network interface identification and location addressing.

 

The designers of the Internet Protocol defined an IP address as a 32-bit number and this system, known as Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4), is still in use today. However, because of the growth of the Internet and the predicted depletion of available addresses, a new version of IP (IPv6), using 128 bits for the address, was developed in 1995. IPv6 was standardized as RFC 2460 in 1998, and its deployment has been ongoing since the mid-2000s.

 

IP addresses are usually written and displayed in human-readable notations, such as 172.16.254.1 (IPv4), and 2001:db8:0:1234:0:567:8:1 (IPv6).

 

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) manages the IP address space allocations globally and delegates five regional Internet registries (RIRs) to allocate IP address blocks to local Internet registries (Internet service providers) and other entities.

 

The expected of the Equipment, IP Addresses and Customer List is 3 years of which we will be applying both amortization and depreciation on a quarterly basis in a straight line format.

 

The comprehensive agreement call for the implementation of three employment agreement and three management agreements for the members of Webrunner LLC. The Company has not adopted an employee stock option plan which has been approved by the shareholders.

During the year ended January 31, 2017, we determined that the carrying value of Net D and XTELUS, which are separate reporting units, exceeded its fair value at the measurement date, requiring step two in the impairment test process. The fair value of the Net D and XTELUS reporting unit were determined primarily using an income approach based on the present value of discounted cash flows. We determined the implied fair value of intangible asset and goodwill were substantially below the carrying value of the reporting unit. Accordingly, we recognized impairment loss of $180,572 in intangible asset and $3,548,749 in goodwill for Net D and $77,886 in goodwill for XTELUS, which resulted in no intangible asset and goodwill remaining for Net D and XTELUS as of January 31, 2017.

 

During the year ended January 31, 2016, we determined that the carrying value of Webrunner, which is a separate reporting unit, exceeded its fair value at the measurement date, requiring step two in the impairment test process. The fair value of the Webrunner reporting unit was determined primarily using an income approach based on the present value of discounted cash flows. We determined the implied fair value of goodwill was substantially below the carrying value of the reporting unit's goodwill. Accordingly, we recognized a goodwill impairment loss of $1,200,003, which resulted in goodwill of $110,905 remaining for Webrunner as of January 31, 2016.

In connection with the settlement agreement entered into with Doyle Knudson, an investor, in 2014, the Company issued a $1.8 million convertible promissory note with a fixed conversion price of $0.10 per share or 18,000,000 shares of common stock.

NOTE 11 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

The Company analyzed the conversion option for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and hedging, and determined that the instrument should be classified as a liability since the conversion option becomes effective at issuance resulting in there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above conversion options.

 

ASC 815 requires we assess the fair market value of derivative liability at the end of each reporting period and recognize any change in the fair market value as other income or expense item.

 

The Company determined our derivative liabilities to be a Level 3 fair value measurement and used the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value as of January 31, 2017. The Black-Scholes model requires six basic data inputs: the exercise or strike price, time to expiration, the risk-free interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate. Changes to these inputs could produce a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The fair value of each convertible note is estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in the January 31, 2017 and 2016:

The agreement grants to us a non-exclusive encryption license agreement which entitles us to utilize Cloud's encryption software solution within the Customer's business. We purchased a 48 months encryption licensing agreement to incorporate into our existing web based software. The licensing agreement will protect members of our platform from hackers and other privacy intrusion vehicles. CipherLoc has various features that will further protect our members and end users of our web developed platform. As of January 31, 2016, the software has not been delivered to the Company and as such the cash paid for the encryption licensing agreement of $1,125,000 has been accounted as a deposit.

Windstream Holdings, Inc.

 

At the time of acquisition of Connexum, Windstream Holdings, Inc. ("Windstream"), a provider of voice and data network communications, and managed services, to businesses in the United States, claimed that Connexum owed them $600,000, which charges Connexum denies. In 2015, Connexum contracted with Windstream to purchase high cost long distance services. When receiving the initial invoices Connexum noticed the bill was not what was expected and issued a dispute for the incorrect charges and paid the non-disputed amount of just over $20,000. Then, without notice, Windstream turned off services. Shortly thereafter Windstream and Connexum disputed over high cost traffic. Windstream continued to bill Connexum for many months even after disconnecting its service, which ended up totaling nearly $580,000 of disputed fees. At the time of disconnection, there was approximately $20,000 in actual unpaid usage fees. It is unlikely that the Company would pay these fees. Windstream has not threatened litigation at this point and Connexum is actively working to settle the disputed amount.

 

On May 25, 2016, the Company reached a settlement with Windstream for $20,000, which the Company paid during the year ended January 31, 2017.

Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences in the recognition of income and expenses for the financial reporting purposes and for tax purposes. The Company has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $10,507,000 available to offset future taxable income through 2035. For income tax reporting purposes, the Company’s aggregate unused net operating losses are subject to limitations of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the benefits from net operating losses carried forward may be impaired or limited on certain circumstances. Events which may cause limitations in the amount of net operating losses that the Company may utilize in any one year include, but are not limited to, a cumulative ownership change of more than 50% over a three-year period. The consolidation of any limitations that may be imposed for future issuances of equity securities, including issuances with respect to acquisitions have not been determined. The Company has provided a valuation reserve against the full amount of the net operating loss benefit, because in the opinion of management based upon the earning history of the Company; it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized.

 

For the years ended January 31, 2017 and 2016, the difference between the amounts of income tax expense or benefit that would result from applying the statutory rates to pretax income to the reported income tax expense of $0 is the result of the net operating loss carryforward and the related valuation allowance.

 

The Company anticipates it will continue to record a valuation allowance against the losses of certain jurisdictions, primarily federal and state, until such time as it is able to determine it is “more-likely-than-not” the deferred tax asset will be realized. Such position is dependent on whether there will be sufficient future taxable income to realize such deferred tax assets. The Company’s effective tax rate may vary from period to period based on changes in estimated taxable income or loss by jurisdiction, changes to the valuation allowance, changes to federal, state or foreign tax laws, future expansion into areas with varying country, state, and local income tax rates, deductibility of certain costs and expenses by jurisdiction.

 

Tax returns for the years ended 2011 through 2017, are subject to examination.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 

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

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as of January 31, 2017, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure for the reasons noted below.

 

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that;

 

Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company; and

 

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and

 

That our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our company's management and directors; and

 

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 financial statements.

 

As of January 31, 2017, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting for that period was not effective.

 

 
19
 
Table of Contents

 

Management has identified the following material weaknesses and is taking action to remedy and remove the weakness in its internal controls over financial reporting:

 

 

· Lack of an independent board of directors, including an independent financial expert. The current board of directors is evaluating expanding the board of directors to include additional independent directors. The current board is composed of three (3) members and may be expanded to as many as seven members under our company’s Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws.

 

 

 

 

· Lack of segregation of duties and adequate documentation of our internal controls.

 

 

 

 

· The inability of our company to prepare and file its financial statements timely due to its limited financial and personnel resources.

 

 

 

 

· Lack of multiple levels of review in our company’s financial reporting process.

 

Changes in internal control over financial reporting 

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified by management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all 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. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, misstatements, errors, and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been or will be prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management or Board override of the control.

 

The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

This annual report does not include a standard internal control report by our company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to current rules of the SEC that permit our company, as a smaller reporting company, to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Business Experience

 

The following is a brief account of the education and business experience during at least the past five years of each director, executive officer and key employee of our company, indicating the person’s principal occupation during that period, and the name and principal business of the organization in which such occupation and employment were carried out.

 

Scott Kettle – Chief Executive Officer, Chief Information Officer, Chairman, President and Director

 

Mr. Kettle, is the founder of a series of successful family-owned and operated public companies in the telephony and telecommunications industry in the wake of the government-mandated break-up of AT&T’s monopoly some 25 years ago. Beginning with Thrifty-Tel (TTEL) in partnership with his father William Kettle, a steeply discounted provider of long-distance telephone service and pioneer of Flat Rate Communications, Kettle moved on to the wholesale sector serving as CIO for Five Star Telecom from 1994 to 1999. In 1998, Mr. Kettle founded and served as President and CEO of Tele Com Specialists, Inc. a software company. Kettle moved into the emerging DSL area, founding SpeeDsl, Inc.

 

Mr. Kettle’s extensive public company experience and more than twenty-five years of executive management give him the qualifications and skills to serve as a senior executive for the Gawk team

 

Chris Hall – Chief Financial Officer and Director

 

Chris Hall is a noted VoIP Networking Leader. Chris has been designing, deploying and operating VOIP networks since 1998 and has been in telecommunications since his initial four year entry to the industry with AT&T (Pacific Telephone) beginning in 1978. He has been a serial entrepreneur for the last twenty years, starting up or advancing many telecom companies to the point where they could be sold to larger (often public) firms.

 

Global deregulation of telecoms and the development of VOIP technology combined to give Chris the opportunity to apply his USC undergraduate degree in International Relations and his UCLA M.B.A. in Finance to start building wholesale international simple resale (ISR) routes in 1998, he built and operated routes under FCC Section 214 license to every region of the world - a total of 15 countries, including: Costa Rica, Jamaica, Mexico, Vietnam, China, Thailand, Philippines, Japan, India, Bangladesh, Egypt, Ghana, Netherlands, the United Kingdom and most recently Panama, Uruguay and Argentina. In most cases, he visited each of these countries personally (more than once), and became familiar with the local business practices and import/export requirements. He returned with more than just "routes" and extra passport pages as he collected children’s dolls, in native costume, from each country for his youngest daughter - giving her the best doll collection in the neighborhood.

During this time Chris became operationally qualified on Cisco, Excel and Nuera equipment, building on top of his degree in Data Communications Engineering, as well as mastering telecom billing applications software and advanced database programs (like MS Sequel). With a staff of three people, he did most of the operational work, and sub-contracted out as required. Chris also did much of the sales, and is well known amongst the international wholesale community.

 

The proliferation of Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLEC's) made possible by the 1996 Telecom Act, the declining cost of VOIP equipment and the availability of next generation Session Border Controllers (SBC's) like Nextone and Sansay gave Chris a new challenge and opportunity in 2003 - to apply his VOIP expertise to the domestic (USA) market, this time building on his AT&T experience. This meant less travel and more stability. He built a profitable 30 million minute per month carrier with a capital investment of less than $350,000, annualized revenue reached over $3.5M from scratch in a short two year period, while still preserving his operational & sales involvement. Chris is operationally well qualified on OpenSIPS, Nextone and Sansay Session Border Controllers (aka Softswitches) and is well known to most major and minor wholesale carriers in the USA and many abroad.

 

Chris is a recognized VOIP industry leader, he has spoken at several trade shows and conferences such as Comptel, VON and Intelecard, and is a member of several industry associations, including Comptel, the Pacific Telecommunications Council and the West Coast Carrier Forum.

Compliance with Section 16(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of our shares of common stock and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5, respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.

 

To date, our former and current executive officers, directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities have not met the filing requirements applicable to them. Our current management and directors need to file Form 3 and /or Form 5 for the issuance of common shares.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We have not adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller. We only have two officer’s and four directors and do not believe we need a code of ethics at this time.

 

Committees of the Board

 

Our company currently does not have nominating, compensation or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor does our company have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our directors believe that it is not necessary to have such committees, at this time, because the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the board of directors.

 

Our company does not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. The board of directors believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. Our company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the board of directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The board of directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.

 

A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our board of directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to our President at the address appearing on the first page of this annual report.

 

Board and Committee Meetings

 

Our board of directors held no formal meetings during the year ended January 31, 2017. All proceedings of the board of directors were conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by all the directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the directors. Such resolutions consented to in writing by the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the directors are, according to the Nevada General Corporate Law and our Bylaws, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called and held.

 

Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

Currently our audit committee consists of our entire board of directors. We do not currently have a director who is qualified to act as the head of the audit committee.

The Agreement allows for Bonus of the highest bonus incentive program (hereafter “BIP”) set up by the Board. While the specific structure and trigger mechanisms for the BIP are at the sole discretion of the Board, the BIP shall afford Employee the opportunity to earn a minimum of $150,000 per year in cash bonuses through the Employee’s accomplishment of specific pre-identified reasonable milestones in the development of our company’s business, or by exceeding the approved business plan revenue and income levels. Any payments under the BIP shall be paid annually to Employee and shall be paid no later than the end of the first quarter following our company’s fiscal year-end. In addition to the BIP, Employee shall also be entitled to such additional bonus, if any, as may be granted by the Board (with Employee abstaining from any vote thereon) or compensation or similar committee thereof in the Board's (or such committee's) sole discretion based upon employee's performance of his Services under this Agreement.

________

(1) Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on October 20, 2017. As of October 20, 2017 there were 6,342,546,507 shares of our company’s common stock issued and outstanding.

 

 

(2) As at October 20, 2017 there were 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred stock issued and outstanding.

 

 

(3) As at October 20, 2017 there were 68,187,500 shares of Series B Preferred stock issued and outstanding.

 

 

(4) As at October 20, 2017 there were 16 shares of Series C Preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Changes in Control

 

We are unaware of any contract or other arrangement or provisions of our Articles or Bylaws the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change of control of our company. There are not any provisions in our Articles or Bylaws, the operation of which would delay, defer, or prevent a change in control of our company.

 

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

 

Except as disclosed herein, no director, executive officer, shareholder holding at least 5% of shares of our common stock, or any family member thereof, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or proposed transaction since the year ended January 31, 2017, in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at the year-end for the last three completed fiscal years.

 

Director Independence

 

We currently act with four directors, Scott Kettle, Chris Hall, Michael Selsman and Vincent Cuzzo.

 

We have determined that Vincent Cuzzo is an independent director, as that term is used in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Rules of National Association of Securities Dealers.

 

Currently our audit committee consists of Vincent Cuzzo and Scott Kettle who also serve on the board of directors. We currently do not have nominating, compensation committees or committees performing similar functions. There has not been any defined policy or procedure requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nomination for directors.

 

From inception to present date, we believe that the members of our audit committee and the board of directors have been and are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.

Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services

 

The aggregate fees billed for the most recently completed fiscal year ended January 31, 2017 and for fiscal year ended January 31, 2016 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows:

Our board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.

 

Our board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our independent auditors and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining our independent auditors’ independence.
