We may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time by filing amendments or supplements as required. You should read the entire prospectus and any amendments or supplements carefully before you make your investment decision.

The following summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. It may not contain all the information that may be important to you. You should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and our historical financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus or any accompanying prospectus supplement before making an investment decision.

General Information about Our Company
The Company was incorporated on October 26, 2009 in the State of Nevada. The Company originally engaged in the development of a website and also the design and development of a catalogue to sell over the counter and prescription medications, and supplements. In 2012, the Company undertook a change in focus to the natural resources sector where it was engaged in the acquisition and exploration of base metals and mineral mining properties.
On April 5, 2016, the Company completed the purchase of Viva Entertainment Group, Inc. (“Viva Entertainment”), a Delaware corporation, from EMS Find, Inc. (“EMS”) pursuant to a stock purchase agreement. Viva Entertainment’s Chief Executive Officer, Johnny Falcones, was appointed as the Company’s sole director, President and Chief Executive Officer to manage the development and marketing of Viva Entertainment’s over the top (IPTV/OTT) application for connected TV’s, desktop computers, tablets, and smart phones.
Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement, the Company and EMS agreed to transfer control of Viva Entertainment to the Company through the purchase of all outstanding shares of stock of Viva Entertainment by the Company in exchange for the issuance to EMS of a 10% promissory note in the principal amount of $100,000, due six months from the Closing (the “EMS Note”), and the issuance of 22,000,000 shares of common stock to Johnny Falcones. For accounting purposes, the transaction was treated as a reverse merger since the acquired entity now forms the basis for operations and the transaction resulted in a change in control, with the acquired company electing to become the successor issuer for reporting purposes. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared to reflect the assets, liabilities and operations of Viva Entertainment Group, Inc. exclusive of Black River Petroleum since all predecessor operations were discontinued. As part of the transaction, stock payable and amounts due to former officers were forgiven, with the balances recorded as Contributed Capital. For equity purposes, additional paid-in capital and retained deficit shown are those of Viva, exclusive of Black River Petroleum. Viva had no operations prior to the quarter ended April 30, 2016.
In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the presented periods have been made. All adjustments made were of a normal recurring nature.
Viva Entertainment Group Inc. (the “Company”) develops and markets Viva Entertainment’s over the top (IPTV/OTT) application for connected TV’s, desktop computers, tablets, and smart phones. The Company is based in Briarwood, New York.

Potential investors are urged to carefully consider such factors. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements and the “Risk Factors” described herein.
| (4) |
An investment in these securities involves an exceptionally high degree of risk and is extremely speculative in nature. You should carefully consider the risk factors listed below, together with the information contained in this prospectus, any reports we file with the SEC and the documents referred to herein. Following are what is believed are all of the material risks involved if one decides to purchase shares in this offering.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMPANY:
Our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our net loss for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017 was $4,822,960 and $15,448,897, respectively, compared to net losses of $1,993,665 and $3,127,542 for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2016.. Because we are yet to attain profitable operations, in their report on our financial statements for the period ended July 31, 2017, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding their substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We will continue to experience net operating losses in the foreseeable future. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to generate a profit and/or obtain necessary funding from outside sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities, increasing sales or obtaining loan from various financial institutions where possible. Our continued net operating losses increase the difficulty in meeting such goals and there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the management’s assessment of our ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company cannot guarantee that it will continue to generate revenues which could result in a total loss of your investment if it is unsuccessful in its business plans.
While the Company has generated revenues during its history, which are reported in the financial statements included in this Prospectus, there can be no assurance that it will continue to generate revenues or that revenues will be sufficient to maintain its business. As a result, one could lose all of one’s investment if the Company is not successful in its proposed business plans.
Since the Company has shown a net loss since inception, an investment in the shares offered herein is highly risky and could result in a complete loss of your investment if the company is unsuccessful in its business plans.
Based upon current plans, the Company expects to incur operating losses in future periods as it incurs significant expenses associated with the growth of its business and the research and development of its photo and video subscriptions. Further, there is no guarantee that it will be successful in realizing future revenues or in achieving or sustaining positive cash flow at any time in the future. Any such failure could result in the possible closure of its business or force the company to seek additional capital through loans or additional sales of its equity securities to continue business operations, which would dilute the value of any shares you purchase in this offering.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer/Director will continue to exercise significant control over our operations, which means as a minority stockholder, you would have no control over certain matters requiring stockholder approval that could affect your ability to ever resell any shares you purchase in this offering. If you are not able to resell any shares that you purchase in this offering, it may result in the loss of your investment.
Prior to this offering, our Chief Executive Officer/Director owns 101,629,371 shares of common stock, 2% of the outstanding shares. Additionally, Mr. Falcones owns 75 million shares of preferred stock with a special or super voting right where Mr. Falcones’ one share of preferred stock, that cannot be converted into common stock, vote equals 100 shares voting rights of common stock, equal to voting majority control of 92% of all equity outstanding . In addition, our Chief Executive Officer will continue to hold a controlling ownership interest even if all of the offering shares are sold. Moreover, if all of the shares are sold, and all of the shares underlying the promissory notes are issued, our Chief Executive Officer/Director will continue to hold a controlling interest. Accordingly, our director will continue to have a majority voting control in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions, including the election of directors, approval of significant corporate transactions, changes in control of the Company or other matters that could affect your ability to ever resell your Shares.
Growth and development of operations will depend on the acceptance of the Company’s proposed business. If the Company’s subscriptions are not deemed desirable and suitable for purchase and it cannot establish a customer base, it may not be able to generate future revenues, which would result in a failure of the business and a loss of any investment one makes in the shares.
The acceptance of the Company’s subscriptions by its customers is critically important to its success. The Company cannot be certain that the subscriptionssubscription that it offers will be appealing and as a result there may not be any demand for these subscriptionssubscription and its sales could be limited and it may never realize significant revenues. At this time, we are attempting to sell our subscriptions subscriptionto private subscribers and other general customers. There is no guarantee that interest in our subscription software and services in these industries will develop and this could adversely affect our business and revenues.
| (5) |
If demand for the subscriptions the Company plans to offer slows, then its business would be materially affected, which could result in the loss of your entire investment.
Demand for subscriptions which it intends to sell depends on many factors, including:
| • | the number of customers the Company is able to attract and retain over time. |
| • | the economy, and in periods of rapidly declining economic conditions, customers may defer subscriptions such as ours in order to pay secured debts or debts that must be paid in order to remain solvent. |
| • | the ability to anticipate changes in user preferences and to meet customers’ needs in a timely cost effective manner. |
All of these factors could result in immediate and longer term declines in the demand for the subscriptions it plans to offer, which could adversely affect its sales, cash flows and overall financial condition. An investor could lose his or her entire investment as a result.
Limited management resources; the Company will be dependent on key executives; the loss of the services of the current officers and directors could severely impact the Company business operations and future development, which could result in an inability to generate revenues and one’s ability to ever sell any Shares one purchases in this Offering.
The Company is currently relying on a key individual to implement its business and operations and, in particular, the professional expertise and services of Mr. Johnny Falcones, its Chief Executive Officer and director. The Company may not have sufficient managerial resources to successfully manage the increased business activity envisioned by its business strategy. In addition, the Company’s future success depends in large part on the continued service of Mr. Falcones. If Mr. Falcones chose not to serve or if he is unable to perform his duties, and the Company is unable to retain a replacement qualified individual or individuals, this could have an adverse effect on Company business operations, financial condition and operating results if it is unable to replace him with other individuals qualified to develop and market its business. The loss of the services of Mr. Falcones, if the Company is unable to retain a replacement qualified individual or individuals, could result in an inability to generate revenues, which could result in a reduction of the value of any Shares you purchase in this Offering as well as the complete loss of your investment.
The Company’s industry requires attracting and retaining talented employees, and the inability to retain such talented employees could result in the loss of your investment.
Success in the OTT video industry does and will continue to require the acquisition and retention of highly talented and experienced individuals. Due to the growth in the market segment targeted, such individuals and the talent and experience they possess is in high demand. There is no guarantee that we will be able to attract and maintain access to such individuals. If we fail to attract, train, motivate and retain talented personnel, our business, financial condition, and operating results may be materially and adversely impacted, which could result in the loss of your entire investment.
Speculative nature of our business could result in unpredictable results and a loss of your investment.
The OTT Video industry is extremely competitive and the commercial success of any subscription is often dependent on factors beyond our control, including but not limited to market acceptance and the quality of the subscriptions we plan to sell. We may experience substantial cost overruns in obtaining and marketing our subscriptions, and may not have sufficient capital to successfully develop a competitive market share. We may also incur uninsured losses for liabilities which arise in the ordinary course of business, or which are unforeseen, including but not limited to trademark infringement, subscription liability for ineffective or defective subscriptions, and employment liability.
| (6) |
Competition that the Company faces is varied and strong.
The Company’s subscriptions and industry as a whole are subject to extreme competition. There is no guarantee that we can develop or sustain a market position or expand our business. We anticipate that the intensity of competition in the future will increase.
We compete with a number of entities in providing subscriptions to our customers. Such competitor entities include: Chromecast, Apple TV, and Roku. Many of our current and potential competitors are well established and have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial and operational resources, and name recognition than we have. As a result, these competitors may have greater credibility with both existing and potential customers. They also may be able to offer more subscriptions and more aggressively promote and sell their subscriptions. Our competitors may also be able to support more aggressive pricing than we will be able to, which could adversely affect sales, cause us to decrease our prices to remain competitive, or otherwise reduce the overall gross profit earned on our subscriptions.
Dependence on general economic conditions.
The success of the Company depends, to a large extent, on certain economic factors that are beyond its control. Factors such as general economic conditions, levels of unemployment, interest rates, tax rates at all levels of government, competition, funding for police, fire departments and medical facilities that may purchase our subscriptions, the housing market and the success of the real estate industry, and other factors beyond the Company’s control may have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to sell its subscriptions and to collect sums due and owing to it.
Changes in user preferences and discretionary spending may have a material adverse effect on our revenue, results of operations and financial condition.
Our success depends, in part, upon the popularity of our subscriptions and our ability to develop our subscriptions in a way that appeal to users. Shifts in user preferences away from our subscriptions, our inability to develop effective photo and video hardware and software subscriptions that appeal to users, or changes in our subscriptions that eliminate items popular with some users could harm our business. Also, our success depends to a significant extent on discretionary user spending, which is influenced by general economic conditions and the availability of discretionary income. Accordingly, we may experience an inability to generate revenue during economic downturns or during periods of uncertainty, where users may decide to purchase OTT video subscriptions that are cheaper or to forego purchasing any type of OTT video subscriptions, due to a lack of available capital. Any material decline in the amount of discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on our sales, results of operations, business and financial condition.
The Company may not be able to successfully implement its business strategy, which could adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. If the Company cannot successfully implement its business strategy, it could result in the loss of your investment.
Successful implementation of its business strategy depends on factors specific to the OTT Video industry, and the state of the financial industry and numerous other factors that may be beyond its control. Adverse changes in the following factors could undermine our business strategy and have a material adverse effect on its business, its financial condition, and results of operations and cash flow:
| • | The competitive environment in the OTT Video industry may force us to reduce prices below the optimal pricing level; |
| • | Its ability to anticipate changes in user preferences and to meet customers’ needs for our subscriptions in a timely cost-effective manner; and |
| • | Its ability to establish, maintain and eventually grow market share in a competitive environment. |
Failure of third-party distributors upon which we rely could adversely affect our business and result in the loss of your investment.
The Company relies heavily on third party distributors for the sale of our subscriptions to retailers, both nationally and internationally. The loss of a significant distributor could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company’s distributors may also provide distribution services to competing brands, as well as larger, national or international brands, and may be to varying degrees influenced by their continued business relationships with other software companies. The Company’s independent distributors may be influenced by a large competitor if they rely on that competitor for a significant portion of their sales. While we believe that the relationships between the Company and its distributors are generally good, many of these relationships are relatively new and untested and there can be no assurance that the Company’s distributors will continue to effectively market and distribute the Company’s subscriptions. The loss of any distributor or the inability to replace a poorly performing distributor in a timely fashion could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company. Furthermore, no assurance can be given that the Company will successfully attract new distributors as they increase their presence in their existing markets or expand into new markets.
| (7) |
We lack sales and marketing capabilities and depend on third parties to market our subscriptions.
We currently have 7 individuals, including our officers and directors, dedicated to sales and marketing of our subscriptions and therefore we may be forced to rely heavily upon a third party sales force to market and sell our subscriptions. These third parties may not be able to market our subscriptions successfully or may not devote the time and resources to marketing our subscriptions that we require. If we choose to develop our own sales and marketing capabilities, we will need to build a marketing and sales force with technical expertise related to OTT, which will require a substantial amount of management and financial resources that may not be available. If we or a third party are not able to adequately sell our planned subscriptions, our business will be materially harmed.
National and International Taxation.
The sale of software subscriptions is taxed at the federal, state and local levels, as well as at the international level. The Company’s operations may be subject to more restrictive regulations and increased taxation by international, federal, state and local governmental agencies than are those of hardware and software related businesses. In such event, we have to raise prices on our subscriptions in order to maintain profit margins. The effect of such an increase could negatively impact our sales or profitability.
Litigation and publicity concerning subscription quality, health and other issues, which can result in liabilities and also cause customers to avoid our subscriptions, could adversely affect our results of operations, business and financial condition.
The OTT Video businesses can be adversely affected by litigation and complaints from customers or government authorities resulting from subscription defects. Adverse publicity about these allegations may negatively affect us, regardless of whether the allegations are true, by discouraging customers from buying our subscriptions. We could also incur significant liabilities, if a lawsuit or claim results in a decision against us, or litigation costs, regardless of the result. Further, any litigation may cause our key employees to expend resources and time normally devoted to the operations of our business.
The market price of our common stock may decline due to the Investment Agreement.
An unknown number of shares of common stock, which may be sold by means of this prospectus, are issuable under an Investment Agreement to Ignition Capital, LLC of Tampa, Florida. As we sell shares of our common stock to Ignition under the Investment Agreement, and Ignition sells the common stock to third parties, the price of our common stock may decrease due to the additional shares in the market. The more shares that are issued under the Investment Agreement, the more our then outstanding shares will be diluted and the more our stock price may decrease. Any decline in the price of our common stock may encourage short sales, which could place further downward pressure on the price of our common stock. Short selling is a practice of selling shares which are not owned by a seller with the expectation that the market price of the shares will decline in value after the sale. See “Investment Agreement” for more information concerning the Investment Agreement.
The price of the common stock is based on trading prices, so there is no guarantee that the price at which you have purchased your shares will remain the same. A significant decrease in the price of our shares could result in the loss of your investment.
The offering price of the company shares has been determined by the Company, is based on the average closing price for the common stock during the previous five trading days prior to the sale, and bears no relationship to the Company’s assets, book value, potential earnings or any other recognized criteria of value.
The trading in the Company shares will be regulated by Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15g-9 which established the definition of a “penny stock.” The effective result is that fewer purchasers are qualified by their brokers to purchase its shares, and therefore a less liquid market for the investors to sell their shares. Therefore, you may have a difficult time selling your shares, or you may not be able to sell your shares at all, which could result in the loss of your investment.
The shares being offered are defined as a penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and rules of the Commission. The Exchange Act and such penny stock rules generally impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than certain accredited investors who are, generally, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with spouse), or in transactions not recommended by the broker-dealer. For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, a broker-dealer must make a suitability determination for each purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement prior to the sale. In addition, the broker-dealer must make certain mandated disclosures in penny stock transactions, including the actual sale or purchase price and actual bid and offer quotations, the compensation to be received by the broker-dealer and certain associated persons, and deliver certain disclosures required by the Commission. Consequently, the penny stock rules may make it difficult or impossible for you to resell any shares you may purchase.
| (8) |
You will incur immediate and substantial dilution of the price you pay for your shares, which could affect the overall monetary value of your shares. If the value of your shares significantly decreases, you could lose your investment.
Any investment you make in these shares may result in the immediate and substantial dilution of the net tangible book value of those shares from the price you pay for them, based upon the net tangible book value of the shares as it relates to the closing price for the five trading days prior to your purchase.
We may never pay dividends to shareholders, which could reduce the monetary gain you may realize on your investment.
We have not declared or paid any cash dividends or distributions on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to support operations and to finance expansion and therefore we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of the board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors as the board of directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and, if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend. If the Company does not pay dividends, the Company’s common stock may be less valuable because a return on an investor’s investment will only occur if the Company’s stock price appreciates.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK:
The public trading market for our common stock is volatile and may result in higher spreads in stock prices, which may limit the ability of our investors to sell their shares of our common stock at a profit, if at all.
Our common stock trades in the over-the-counter market and is quoted on the OTC Pink tier of the OTC Markets Group, Inc. The over- the-counter market for securities has historically experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations during certain periods. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and result in substantial losses to our investors. In addition, the spreads on stock traded through the over-the-counter market are generally unregulated and higher than on national stock exchanges, which means that the difference between the price at which shares could be purchased by investors in the over-the-counter market compared to the price at which they could be subsequently sold would be greater than on these exchanges. Significant spreads between the bid and asked prices of the stock could continue during any period in which a sufficient volume of trading is unavailable or if the stock is quoted by an insignificant number of market makers. Historically, our trading volume has been insufficient to significantly reduce this spread and we have had a limited number of market makers insufficient to affect this spread. These higher spreads could adversely affect investors who purchase the shares at the higher price at which the shares are sold, but subsequently sell the shares at the lower bid prices quoted by the brokers. Unless the bid price for the stock exceeds the price paid for the shares by the investor, plus brokerage commissions or charges, the investor could lose money on the sale. For higher spreads such as those on over-the-counter stocks, this is likely a much greater percentage of the price of the stock than for exchange listed stocks. There is no assurance that at the time an investor in our common stock wishes to sell the shares, the bid price will have sufficiently increased to create a profit on the sale.
We do not know whether a market for our common stock will be sustained or what the market price of our common stock will be and as a result it may be difficult for you to sell your shares of our common stock.
Although our common stock now trades on the OTC Pink Tier of the OTC Markets Group, Inc. an active trading market for our shares may not be sustained. It may be difficult for our stockholders to sell their shares without depressing the market price for our shares or at all. As a result of these and other factors, our stockholders may not be able to sell their shares. Further, an inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares of our common stock and may impair our ability to enter into strategic partnerships or acquire companies or subscriptions by using our shares of common stock as consideration. If an active market for our common stock does not develop or is not sustained, it may be difficult for our stockholders to sell shares of our common stock.
The market price for our common stock may fluctuate significantly, which could result in substantial losses by our investors.
The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control, such as:
● the outcomes of potential future patent litigation;
● our ability to monetize our future patents;
● changes in our industry;
● announcements of technological innovations, new subscriptions or subscription enhancements by us or others;
● announcements by us of significant strategic partnerships, out-licensing, in-licensing, joint ventures, acquisitions or capital commitments;
● changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by security analysts, if our common stock is covered by analysts;
● investors’ general perception of us;
● future issuances of common stock;
● the addition or departure of key personnel;
● general market conditions, including the volatility of market prices for shares o technology companies, generally, and other factors, including factors unrelated to our operating performance; and
● the other factors described in this “Risk Factors” section.
| (9) |
These factors and any corresponding price fluctuations may materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock and result in substantial losses by our investors.
Further, the stock market in general, and the market for technology companies in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations in the past. Continued market fluctuations could result in extreme volatility in the price of our common stock, which could cause a decline in the value of our common stock.
Price volatility of our common stock might be worse if the trading volume of our common stock is low. In the past, following periods of market volatility, stockholders have often instituted securities class action litigation. If we were involved in securities litigation, it could have a substantial cost and divert resources and attention of management from our business, even if we are successful. Future sales of our common stock could also reduce the market price of such stock.
Moreover, the liquidity of our common stock is limited, not only in terms of the number of shares that can be bought and sold at a given price, but by delays in the timing of transactions and reduction in security analysts’ and the media’s coverage of us, if any. These factors may result in lower prices for our common stock than might otherwise be obtained and could also result in a larger spread between the bid and ask prices for our common stock. In addition, without a large float, our common stock is less liquid than the stock of companies with broader public ownership and, as a result, the trading prices of our common stock may be more volatile. In the absence of an active public trading market, an investor may be unable to liquidate its investment in our common stock. Trading of a relatively small volume of our common stock may have a greater impact on the trading price of our stock than would be the case if our public float were larger. We cannot predict the prices at which our common stock will trade in the future.
Our common stock is a “penny stock,” which makes it more difficult for our investors to sell their shares.
Our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The penny stock rules generally apply to companies whose common stock is not listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market or other national securities exchange and trades at less than $5.00 per share, other than companies that have had average revenue of at least $6,000,000 for the last three years or that have tangible net worth of at least $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If we remain subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for our securities. If our securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our securities.
Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.
If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang,” in anticipation of which the market price of our common stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make more difficult our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.
The interests of our controlling stockholders may not coincide with yours and such controlling stockholder may make decisions with which you may disagree.
As of December 21, 2017, Mr. Falcones owns 101,629,371 registered shares of common stock. At present, Mr. Falcones is the highest owner of registered common stock. Mr. Falcones owns 2% of the Company’s registered common stock and currently maintains voting control of the Company. Additionally, Mr. Falcones owns 75 million preferred shares that have special or super voting rights where one preferred share vote is equal to 100 common stock vote as well as the authority to appoint directors and Company officers without shareholder approval. Mr. Falcones’ shares of preferred stock cannot be converted into common stock. As a result, our controlling stockholder control substantially all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, this concentration of ownership may delay or prevent a change in control of our company and make some future transactions more difficult or impossible without the support of Mr. Falcones. Mr. Falcones’ interest may not coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. We do not currently have research coverage by securities and industry analysts and you should not invest in our common stock in anticipation that we will obtain such coverage. If we obtain securities or industry analyst coverage and if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which could cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.
We are subject to financial reporting and other requirements that place significant demands on our resources.
We are subject to reporting and other obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 requires us to conduct an annual management assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. These reporting and other obligations place significant demands on our management, administrative, operational, internal audit and accounting resources. Any failure to maintain effective internal controls could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and stock price. Moreover, effective internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed.

Penny Stock Rules
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally 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, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).
A purchaser is purchasing penny stock which limits the ability to sell the stock. The shares offered by this prospectus constitute penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stocks for the foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his/her investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in us will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document, which:
| a. | contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stock in both public offerings and secondary trading; |
| b. | contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended; |
| c. | contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including “bid” and “ask” price for the penny stock and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; |
| d. | contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; |
| e. | defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and |
| f. | contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format) as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation; |
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, to the customer:
| a. | the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; |
| b. | the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; |
| c. | the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and |
| d. | monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. |
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling their securities.
Reports
The Company is currently subject to certain reporting requirements and will file with the SEC annual reports including annual financial statements, certified by the Company’s independent accountants, and un-audited quarterly financial statements in its quarterly reports filed electronically with the SEC. All reports and information filed by the Company can be found at the SEC website, www.sec.gov.
Stock Transfer Agent
Worldwide Stock Transfer, LLC. located at One University Plaza, Suite 505, Hackensack, NJ 07601 Phone: (201) 820-2008, has been appointed as the Company’s stock transfer agent.

Overview
Viva Entertainment Group Inc. (the “Company”) is a business that develops and markets Viva Entertainment’s over the top (IPTV/OTT) application for connected TV’s, desktop computers, tablets, and smart phones. The Company is based in Briarwood, New York.
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 26, 2009. From inception, we were originally engaged in the development of a website and also the design and development of a catalogue to sell over the counter and prescription medications, and supplements. In 2012, we undertook a change in our focus to the natural resources sector where it was engaged in the acquisition and exploration of base metals and mineral mining properties. After an unsuccessful exploration program on our mineral properties we decided to enter the market for over the top (IPTV/OTT) application for connected TV’s, desktop computers, tablets, and smart phones.
On April 5, 2016, we completed the purchase from EMS Find, Inc. (“EMS”) of Viva Entertainment Group, Inc. (“Viva Entertainment”), a Delaware corporation and a subsidiary of EMS, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement (“Stock Purchase Agreement”), and Viva Entertainment’s Chief Executive Officer, Johnny Falcones, resigned from all positions at EMS and has been elected as our sole director and President and Chief Executive Officer to manage the development and marketing of Viva Entertainment’s over the top (IPTV/OTT) application for connected TV’s, desktop computers, tablets, and smart phones.
This purchase represents a new business and industry which we operate in. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company and EMS agreed to transfer control of Viva Entertainment to the Company through the purchase from the Seller by the Purchaser of all 800 outstanding shares of stock of Viva Entertainment to the Company in exchange for the issuance to EMS of a 10% promissory note in the principal amount of $100,000, due six months from the Closing (the “EMS Note”), which represents the purchase price paid by us for Viva Entertainment. In connection with the closing, Alexander Stanbury, our former President and Chief Executive Officer, transferred to Johnny Falcones 26,629,371 shares of restricted common stock of the Company from the shares of common stock owned by Mr. Stanbury in exchange for payment of $93,625 from the $135,000 of financing arranged with Essex Global Investment Corp. for the acquisition of the Company (the “Acquisition Financing Facility”).
On April 6, 2016, we closed on the $135,000 Acquisition Financing Facility pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, dated April 6, 2016 (the "Essex Securities Purchase Agreement"), with Essex Global Investment Corp, a Nevada corporation ("Essex"), for the sale of a convertible promissory note (the "Essex Note") in the principal amount of $145,000, with an original issue discount of $10,000.
The Essex Note, which is due on March 30, 2017, bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum. All principal and accrued interest on the Note was convertible at any time into shares of our common stock at the election of Essex at a conversion price for each share of Common Stock equal to 55% of the lowest reported trading price of the Company’s common stock for the twenty prior trading days including the day upon which the conversion notice is received us or our transfer agent. The conversion price discount will be decreased to 45% if the Company experiences a DTC "chill" on its shares. If we are not current within ninety days from the date of the Note, the conversion discount will increase by 20%, so that the conversion price would be 35% of the trading price as calculated above.
We have the right to prepay the Essex Note during the first six months following the date of issuance of the Essex Note with a premium of up to 135% of all amounts owed to Essex, including default interest, depending upon when the prepayment is effectuated. The Essex Note may not be redeemed after 180 days.
The Essex Note contains default events which, if triggered and not timely cured, will result in default interest and penalties. As of July 31, 2017, the Essex Note was paid in full.
On April 8, 2016, in connection with the purchase of Viva Entertainment Group, Inc., our Board of Directors authorized the issuance of an aggregate of 37,170,629 shares of common stock, comprised of 22,000,000 issued to our Founder and Chief Executive Officer (5,000,000 of which are registered in name of the wife of the CEO), 13,170,629 as common shares for consulting services to various consultants and 2,000,000 common shares as consideration for an investor entering into a share purchase agreement. An additional 500,000 common shares was issued for general corporate purposes.

Plan of Operation
As of July 31,2017 we had a working capital deficiency of $2,604,275, had small revenues from subscription in amount of $3,000, and have an accumulated deficit of $20,127,709.
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that our auditors believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated any material revenues or profits.
We have only four officers and directors. They are responsible for our managerial and organizational structure which will include preparation of disclosure and accounting controls under the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. When these controls are implemented, they will be responsible for the administration of the controls. Should they not have sufficient experience, they may be incapable of creating and implementing the controls which may cause us to be subject to sanctions and fines by the SEC which ultimately could cause you to lose your investment.
Limited Operating History
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We have not generated any revenues to date. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources.
Results of Operations

The increase in net loss was the result of the increase in compensation and above mentioned costs. During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017, we also incurred losses of $855,689 and $1,106,617, respectively, on changes of the derivative liability, compared to gain of $72,940 on changes of the derivative liability during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2016. In addition, we had interest expenses of $196,155 and $1,083,053 during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017, compared to interest expenses of $693,366 and $706,224 during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2016.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of July 31, 2017, we had cash of $40,615. As of October 31, 2016, we had cash of $385.
Net cash used in operating activities was $395,100 and $577,559 for the nine months ended July 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The net cash used in operations was principally attributable to net losses of $15,374,230 and $3,127,542 during the nine months ended July 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, offset principally by amortization of debt discount of $1,052,477 and $95,728, amortization expense of $5,172 and $3,349, common shares issued for services of $12,279,796 and $1,916,161, increase in accounts payable by $197,618 and $39,116, and increase in accrued expenses by $205,029 and $45,189 in such same periods, respectively. Loss of settlement of debt of $289,313 and -0-, in such same periods, respectively.
Cash flows used for investing activities were $-0- during the nine months ended July 31, 2017, compared to net cash of $171,504 used in investing activities during the nine months ended July 31, 2016, which was solely as a result of the effects of the reverse merger.
Cash flows provided by financing activities were $435,330 and $763,430 for nine months ended July 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Positive cash flows from financing activities during the nine months ended July 31, 2017 were due primarily to proceeds from related party payable of $102,070, proceeds from sales of common stock and convertible notes in amount of $12,000 and $321,260, respectively. Positive cash flows from financing activities during the nine months ended July 31, 2016 were solely due to proceeds from convertible notes in amount of $763,430.
We have small revenues from subscription in amount of $3,000 for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017, and have four salaried employees including Johnny Falcones, our officer and director. We currently require very limited resources but intend to hire employees and consultants in the latter part of 2017 for the Viva Entertainment operations. In due course, should we require capital for these operations, we will need to raise additional capital. There is no guarantee that we will be able to raise further capital. At present, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional capital but are diligently working on this.
If we need additional capital and cannot raise it we will either have to suspend operations until we do raise the capital or cease operations entirely. Other than as described in this paragraph, we have no other financing plans.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Stock Compensation, which is intended to simplify the accounting for share-based payment award transactions. The new standard will modify several aspects of the accounting and reporting for employee share-based payments and related tax accounting impacts, including the presentation in the statements of operations and cash flows of certain tax benefits or deficiencies and employee tax withholdings, as well as the accounting for award forfeitures over the vesting period. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that year, and will be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The Company anticipates the new standard will result in an increase in the number of shares used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share and will add volatility to the Company’s effective tax rate and income tax expense.
Subsequent Events
none
Stock Incentive Plan
On December 17, 2017, the Company filed an S-8 registration for an employee stock option plan. At present, the registration is active once filed and is currently in use by the Company as an incentive to issue common stock upon exercise of options to employees, directors, officers, consultants, advisors and other persons associated with the Company pursuant to the Stock Plan. Moreover, according to the Stock Plan, common stock may be issued and the beneficiary will have the ability to use his or her shares immediately, without the usual 6-month restriction. The plan was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and is intended to provide a method whereby the Company may be stimulated by the personal involvement of its employees, directors, officers, consultants, advisors and other persons in the Company’s business and future prosperity, thereby advancing the Company’s interests and all of its shareholders. A copy of the Stock Plan has been filed with the SEC.

How We Generate Revenue
We expect to recognize revenues in accordance with the guidelines of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104 “Revenue Recognition”.
Under SAB 104, four conditions must be met before revenue can be recognized: (i) there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or service has been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collection is reasonably assured.
General and administrative expenses consisted of finance costs, payroll expense, subscription development expense, professional fees, software fees and support, travel, and other general and administrative overhead costs. Expenses are recognized when incurred.
Depending on the extent of our future growth, we may experience significant strain on our management, personnel, and information systems. We will need to implement and improve operational, financial, and management information systems. In addition, we are implementing new information systems that will provide better record-keeping, customer service and billing. However, there can be no assurance that our management resources or information systems will be sufficient to manage any future growth in our business, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Capital Expenditures
Other Capital Expenditures
We expect to incur research and development costs, as well as marketing expenses in connection with the expansion of our business.
Fiscal year end
Our fiscal year end is October 31.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Commission has defined a company’s critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and which require us to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, we have identified the critical accounting policies and judgments addressed below. We also have other key accounting policies that are significant to understanding our results.
The following are deemed to be the most significant accounting policies affecting us.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses in the reporting period. We regularly evaluate our estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between our estimates and the actual results, our future results of operations will be affected.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions issued by the FASB which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company computes tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefit of net operating losses has not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method following the guidance set forth in section 718-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosure about Stock-Based Compensation. This section requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award- the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.”

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Pursuant to ASC No. 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments included on its balance sheet as of July 31, 2017 and October 31, 2016. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and derivative liabilities. The Company considers the carrying value of such amounts in the financial statements to approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
The Company adopted ASC No. 820-10 (ASC 820-10), Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820-10 relates to financial assets and financial liabilities. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of this standard apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and are to be applied prospectively with limited exceptions.
ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This standard is now the single source in GAAP for the definition of fair value, except for the fair value of leased property as defined in SFAS 13. ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions, about market participant assumptions, that are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820-10 are described below:
| • | Level 1 | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. | |
| • | Level 2 | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. | |
| • | Level 3 | Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. These inputs rely on management's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. (The unobservable inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and July include the Company's own data.) |
The following presents the Company's fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of July 31, 2017 and October 31, 2016:
July 31, 2017:
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |||||||||||||
| Convertible Notes Payable, net | $ | 515,359 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 316,072 | ||||||||
| Derivative Liability | 1,393,168 | 1,444,670 | ||||||||||||||
| Total | $ | 1,908,527 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 1,760,742 | ||||||||

Derivative Financial Instruments
Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.
Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
Future Contractual Obligations and Commitment
We incur contractual obligations and financial commitments in the normal course of our operations and financing activities. Contractual obligations include future cash payments required under existing contracts, such as debt and lease agreements. These obligations may result from both general financing activities and from commercial arrangements that are directly supported by related operating activities.
As of the date of this prospectus, we have no future contractual obligations or commitments.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of the date of this prospectus, we have not entered into any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement with an entity unconsolidated under which it has:
| • | a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to the unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit; |
| • | liquidity or market risk support to such entity for such assets; |
| • | an obligation, including a contingent obligation, under a contract that would be accounted for as a derivative instrument; or |
| • | an obligation, including a contingent obligation, arising out of a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that is held by, and material to us, where such entity provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to or engages in leasing, hedging, or research and development services with us. |
Inflation
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our results of operations.

The Board of Directors has determined that the cost of hiring a financial expert to act as a director and to be a member of the Audit Committee or otherwise perform Audit Committee functions outweighs the benefits of having a financial expert on the Audit Committee. Our Board of Directors has three members, two of whom are independent directors.

We have not adopted a code of ethics that applies to our President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, Treasurer, Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, because of the small number of persons involved in the management of the Company.
Compliance with Section 16 (a) of the Exchange Act
Under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, requires that our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our Common Stock (referred to herein as the “Reporting Persons”) file with the SEC various reports as to their ownership of and activities relating to our Common Stock. Such Reporting Persons are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely upon our review of the copies of the forms we have received and representations that no other reports were required, we believe that all Reporting Persons complied on a timely basis with all filing requirements applicable to them with respect to transactions during fiscal year ended October 31, 2016.
Conflicts of Interest
None.

Preferred Stock
As noted Supra, the Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 75,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The voting powers and preferences, the relative rights of each such series and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of each series has been established by the Board of Directors. Our directors may issue preferred stock with multiple votes per share and dividend rights which would have priority over any dividends paid with respect to the holders of our common stock. The issuance of the preferred stock with these rights may make the removal of management difficult even if the removal would be considered beneficial to shareholders generally, and will have the effect of limiting shareholder participation in transactions such as mergers or tender offers if these transactions are not favored by our management. As of the date of this prospectus, we have issued 75,000,000 shares of preferred stock that remain in the custody and control of Mr. Falcones. Those shares of preferred stock allow Mr. Falcones to have special or super voting rights where 1 share of preferred stock is equal to 100 votes of common stock shares. Moreover, the preferred shares allow Mr. Falcones to appoint officers and directors without shareholder approval. The preferred shares cannot be converted into common stock.
Future Sales by Principal Stockholders
A total of 47,629,371 Common shares have been issued to the company’s officer and director and are restricted securities, as that term is defined in Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Act. Under Rule 144, such shares can be publicly sold, subject to volume restrictions and certain restrictions on the manner of sale, commencing six months after their acquisition, so long as the company is a reporting entity under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and pursuant to the restrictions and requirements listed in Rule 144. Any sale of these shares (after applicable restrictions expire) may have a depressive effect on the price of our common stock in any market that may develop, of which there can be no assurance. The principal stockholders do not have any plans to sell their shares at any time after this offering is complete.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS,
PROMOTERS AND CERTAIN CONTROL PERSONS
In connection with the acquisition of Viva Entertainment and the resignation of our former officers and directors, the Company received forgiveness of stock payable of $3,390,000 and amounts due to former CEO of $132,854. These amounts were written off prior to closing and have therefore not been included in Equity. However, the former CEO funded an additional $30,000 to the Company for working capital during the year ended October 31, 2016.
The detail composition of $384,936 in accrued wages with related parties as of July 31, 2017 is as follows: Johnny Falcones $126,840, and John Sepulveda $105,548. This accrual covered services rendered by the employees for the period from April, 2016 through July 31, 2017 less payments made to such employees during the period.
In addition, John Sepulveda funded $10,000 to the Company for working capital during the year ended October 31, 2016 which remains outstanding together with advances, net of $102,070 from the spouse of the company’s Chief Executive Officer as of July 31, 2017.
Under our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a lawsuit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We do not currently maintain Director's and Officer's insurance, but may do so in the future. We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney's fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.
Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Nevada law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
The Company has filed a registration statement on Form S-1, of which this prospectus is a part, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). We are currently subject to the informational requirements of the Exchange Act and, in accordance therewith, will continue to file all requisite reports, such as Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, proxy statements, under Sec.14 of the Exchange Act, and other information as required. Such reports, proxy statements, this registration statement and other information, may be inspected and copied at the public reference facilities maintained by the SEC at 100 F Street NE, Washington, D.C. 20549. Copies of all materials may be obtained from the Public Reference Section of the SEC’s Washington, D.C. office at prescribed rates. You may obtain information regarding the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC also maintains an internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding registrants that file electronically with the SEC at http://www.sec.gov. The Company will voluntarily provide electronic or paper copies of its filings with the SEC free of charge upon request.

VIVA ENTERTAINMENT GROUP INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Description of Business and History
The Company was incorporated on October 26, 2009 in the State of Nevada. The Company originally engaged in the development of a website and also the design and development of a catalogue to sell over the counter and prescription medications, and supplements. In 2012, the Company undertook a change in focus to the natural resources sector where it was engaged in the acquisition and exploration of base metals and mineral mining properties.
On April 5, 2016, the Company completed the purchase of Viva Entertainment Group, Inc. (“Viva Entertainment”), a Delaware corporation, from EMS Find, Inc. (“EMS”) pursuant to a stock purchase agreement. Viva Entertainment’s Chief Executive Officer, Johnny Falcones, was appointed as the Company’s sole director, President and Chief Executive Officer to manage the development and marketing of Viva Entertainment’s over the top (IPTV/OTT) application for connected TV’s, desktop computers, tablets, and smart phones.
Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement, the Company and EMS agreed to transfer control of Viva Entertainment to the Company through the purchase of all outstanding shares of stock of Viva Entertainment by the Company in exchange for the issuance to EMS of a 10% promissory note in the principal amount of $100,000, due six months from the Closing (the “EMS Note”), and the issuance of 22,000,000 shares of common stock to Johnny Falcones. For accounting purposes, the transaction was treated as a reverse merger since the acquired entity now forms the basis for operations and the transaction resulted in a change in control, with the acquired company electing to become the successor issuer for reporting purposes. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared to reflect the assets, liabilities and operations of Viva Entertainment Group, Inc. exclusive of Black River Petroleum since all predecessor operations were discontinued. As part of the transaction, stock payable and amounts due to former officers were forgiven, with the balances recorded as Contributed Capital. For equity purposes, additional paid-in capital and retained deficit shown are those of Viva, exclusive of Black River Petroleum. Viva had no operations prior to the quarter ended April 30, 2016.
In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the presented periods have been made. All adjustments made were of a normal recurring nature.
Viva Entertainment Group Inc. (the “Company”) develops and markets Viva Entertainment’s over the top (IPTV/OTT) application for connected TV’s, desktop computers, tablets, and smart phones. The Company is based in Briarwood, New York.
Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year. Realization value may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. As of July 31, 2017, the Company has a working capital deficiency and has an accumulated deficit of $20,202,376. The continuation of Viva Entertainment Group as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
| (33) |
NOTE 2 – RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company has restated its un-audited financial statement for the period ended July 31, 2017 to account for a correction to convertible notes previously issued and outstanding but underreported in the previously filed financial statements. The table below highlights the material changes to the financial statements:

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim information Regulation S-K. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of a normal and recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with out audited financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2016.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses in the reporting period. We regularly evaluate our estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by us may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between our estimates and the actual results, our future results of operations will be affected.
Loss Per Common Share
The Company reports net loss per share in accordance with provisions of the FASB. The provisions require dual presentation of basic and diluted loss per share. Basic net loss per share excludes the impact of common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share utilizes the average market price per share when applying the treasury stock method in determining common stock equivalents. During a period of net loss, all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive. Accordingly, for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017 and 2016, potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computations since they would be anti-dilutive. However, these dilutive securities could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Pursuant to ASC No. 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments included on its balance sheet as of July 31, 2017 and October 31, 2016. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and derivative liabilities. The Company considers the carrying value of such amounts in the financial statements to approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
The Company adopted ASC No. 820-10 (ASC 820-10), Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820-10 relates to financial assets and financial liabilities. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of this standard apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and are to be applied prospectively with limited exceptions.
ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This standard is now the single source in GAAP for the definition of fair value, except for the fair value of leased property as defined in SFAS 13. ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions, about market participant assumptions, that are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820-10 are described below:
| • | Level 1 | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. |
| • | Level 2 | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
| • | Level 3 | Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. These inputs rely on management's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. (The unobservable inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and July include the Company's own data.) |
The following presents the Company's fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of July 31, 2017 and October 31, 2016:

Derivative Financial Instruments
Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.
Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Condensed Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of July 31, 2017 and October 31, 2016, the Company had no cash equivalents.

NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In connection with the acquisition of Viva Entertainment and the resignation of our former officers and directors, the Company received forgiveness of stock payable of $3,390,000 and amounts due to former CEO of $132,854. These amounts were written off prior to closing and have therefore not been included in Equity. However, the former CEO funded an additional $30,000 to the Company for working capital during the year ended October 31, 2016.
The detail composition of $384,936 in accrued wages with related parties as of July 31, 2017 is as follows: Johnny Falcones $126,840, Alberto Gomez $152,548 and John Sepulveda $105,548. This accrual covered services rendered by the employees for the period from April, 2016 through July 31, 2017 less payments made to such employees during the period.
Stock payable includes $1,929,200 to officers and directors of the company due to unissued shares earned on employment agreements.
In addition, John Sepulveda funded $10,000 to the Company for working capital during the year ended October 31, 2016 which remains outstanding together with advances, net of $102,070 from the spouse of the company’s Chief Executive Officer as of July 31, 2017.

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

Overview
Viva Entertainment Group Inc. (the “Company”) is a business that develops and markets Viva Entertainment’s over the top (IPTV/OTT) application for connected TV’s, desktop computers, tablets, and smart phones. The Company is based in Briarwood, New York.
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 26, 2009. From inception, we were originally engaged in the development of a website and also the design and development of a catalogue to sell over the counter and prescription medications, and supplements. In 2012, we undertook a change in our focus to the natural resources sector where it was engaged in the acquisition and exploration of base metals and mineral mining properties. After an unsuccessful exploration program on our mineral properties we decided to enter the market for over the top (IPTV/OTT) application for connected TV’s, desktop computers, tablets, and smart phones.

On April 5, 2016, we completed the purchase from EMS Find, Inc. (“EMS”) of Viva Entertainment Group, Inc. (“Viva Entertainment”), a Delaware corporation and a subsidiary of EMS, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement (“Stock Purchase Agreement”), and Viva Entertainment’s Chief Executive Officer, Johnny Falcones, resigned from all positions at EMS and has been elected as our sole director and President and Chief Executive Officer to manage the development and marketing of Viva Entertainment’s over the top (IPTV/OTT) application for connected TV’s, desktop computers, tablets, and smart phones.
This purchase represents a new business and industry which we operate in. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company and EMS agreed to transfer control of Viva Entertainment to the Company through the purchase from the Seller by the Purchaser of all 800 outstanding shares of stock of Viva Entertainment to the Company in exchange for the issuance to EMS of a 10% promissory note in the principal amount of $100,000, due six months from the Closing (the “EMS Note”), which represents the purchase price paid by us for Viva Entertainment. In connection with the closing, Alexander Stanbury, our former President and Chief Executive Officer, transferred to Johnny Falcones 26,629,371 shares of restricted common stock of the Company from the shares of common stock owned by Mr. Stanbury in exchange for payment of $93,625 from the $135,000 of financing arranged with Essex Global Investment Corp. for the acquisition of the Company (the “Acquisition Financing Facility”).
On April 6, 2016, we closed on the $135,000 Acquisition Financing Facility pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, dated April 6, 2016 (the "Essex Securities Purchase Agreement"), with Essex Global Investment Corp, a Nevada corporation ("Essex"), for the sale of a convertible promissory note (the "Essex Note") in the principal amount of $145,000, with an original issue discount of $10,000.
The Essex Note, which is due on March 30, 2017, bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum. All principal and accrued interest on the Note was convertible at any time into shares of our common stock at the election of Essex at a conversion price for each share of Common Stock equal to 55% of the lowest reported trading price of the Company’s common stock for the twenty prior trading days including the day upon which the conversion notice is received us or our transfer agent. The conversion price discount will be decreased to 45% if the Company experiences a DTC "chill" on its shares. If we are not current within ninety days from the date of the Note, the conversion discount will increase by 20%, so that the conversion price would be 35% of the trading price as calculated above.
We have the right to prepay the Essex Note during the first six months following the date of issuance of the Essex Note with a premium of up to 135% of all amounts owed to Essex, including default interest, depending upon when the prepayment is effectuated. The Essex Note may not be redeemed after 180 days.
The Essex Note contains default events which, if triggered and not timely cured, will result in default interest and penalties. As of July 31, 2017, the Essex Note was paid in full.
On April 8, 2016, in connection with the purchase of Viva Entertainment Group, Inc., our Board of Directors authorized the issuance of an aggregate of 37,170,629 shares of common stock, comprised of 22,000,000 issued to our Founder and Chief Executive Officer (5,000,000 of which are registered in name of the wife of the CEO), 13,170,629 as common shares for consulting services to various consultants and 2,000,000 common shares as consideration for an investor entering into a share purchase agreement. An additional 500,000 common shares was issued for general corporate purposes.

Plan of Operation
As of July 31, 2017 we had a working capital deficiency of $2,622,692, had small revenues from subscription in amount of $3,000, and have an accumulated deficit of $20,202,376.
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that our auditors believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated any material revenues or profits.
We have only four officers and directors. They are responsible for our managerial and organizational structure which will include preparation of disclosure and accounting controls under the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. When these controls are implemented, they will be responsible for the administration of the controls. Should they not have sufficient experience, they may be incapable of creating and implementing the controls which may cause us to be subject to sanctions and fines by the SEC which ultimately could cause you to lose your investment.
Limited Operating History
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We have not generated any revenues to date. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources.
Results of Operations
Revenues
We had revenues from subscription in amount of $3,000 for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017, compared to zero revenues during the comparative periods in 2016.
Operating Expenses
For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017, we incurred operating expenses in the amounts of $3,399,126 and $12,898,247, respectively. We incurred operating expenses in the amounts of $1,373,239 and $2,494,258, respectively during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2016.

Net Loss
Our net loss for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017 was $4,822,960 and $15,448,897, respectively, compared to net losses of $1,993,665 and $3,127,542 for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2016. The increase in net loss was the result of the increase in compensation and above mentioned costs. During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017, we also incurred losses of $894,165 and $1,145,093, respectively, on changes of the derivative liability, compared to gain of $72,940 on changes of the derivative liability during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2016. In addition, we had interest expenses of $232,346 and $1,119,244 during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017, compared to interest expenses of $693,366 and $706,224 during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2016.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of July 31, 2017, we had cash of $40,615. As of October 31, 2016, we had cash of $385.
Net cash used in operating activities was $395,100 and $577,559 for the nine months ended July 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The net cash used in operations was principally attributable to net losses of $15,448,897 and $3,127,542 during the nine months ended July 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, offset principally by amortization of debt discount of $1,052,784 and $95,728, amortization expense of $5,172 and $3,349, common shares issued for services of $12,279,796 and $1,916,161, increase in accounts payable by $197,618 and $39,116, and increase in accrued expenses by $204,873 and $45,189 in such same periods, respectively. Loss of settlement of debt of $289,313 and -0-, in such same periods, respectively.
Cash flows used for investing activities were $-0- during the nine months ended July 31, 2017, compared to net cash of $171,504 used in investing activities during the nine months ended July 31, 2016, which was solely as a result of the effects of the reverse merger.
Cash flows provided by financing activities were $435,330 and $763,430 for nine months ended July 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Positive cash flows from financing activities during the nine months ended July 31, 2017 were due primarily to proceeds from related party payable of $102,070, proceeds from sales of common stock and convertible notes in amount of $12,000 and $321,260, respectively. Positive cash flows from financing activities during the nine months ended July 31, 2016 were solely due to proceeds from convertible notes in amount of $763,430.
We have small revenues from subscription in amount of $3,000 for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017, and have four salaried employees including Johnny Falcones, our officer and director. We currently require very limited resources but intend to hire employees and consultants in the latter part of 2017 for the Viva Entertainment operations. In due course, should we require capital for these operations, we will need to raise additional capital. There is no guarantee that we will be able to raise further capital. At present, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional capital but are diligently working on this.
If we need additional capital and cannot raise it we will either have to suspend operations until we do raise the capital or cease operations entirely. Other than as described in this paragraph, we have no other financing plans.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Stock Compensation, which is intended to simplify the accounting for share-based payment award transactions. The new standard will modify several aspects of the accounting and reporting for employee share-based payments and related tax accounting impacts, including the presentation in the statements of operations and cash flows of certain tax benefits or deficiencies and employee tax withholdings, as well as the accounting for award forfeitures over the vesting period. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that year, and will be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The Company anticipates the new standard will result in an increase in the number of shares used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share and will add volatility to the Company’s effective tax rate and income tax expense.
Subsequent Events
In October 2017, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with Williams Holding Corp. pursuant to which 60,000,000 shares of common stock were issued in exchange for the cancellation of a $25,000 note payable previously issued to Robert Rico on August 1, 2016 for services and later assigned to Williams Holding.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 8 of Regulation S-X, we are not required to provide information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act (defined below)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting.
In addition, our management with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have determined that no change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during or subsequent to the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017 that has materially affected, or is (as that term is defined in Rules 13(a)-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
