Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

February 28, 2018

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Poverty Dignified, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 27, 2013, and is headquartered in Hurst, Texas. The Company has established itself as a renewable energy company, incubating franchise business concepts designed to affect the individual, community and local economy in rural and peri-urban areas across the globe. My Power Solutions, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Poverty Dignified, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 13, 2014 as a franchise business opportunity with Franchise Disclosure Documents for franchise sales in both the United States and South African markets. Africhise, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Poverty Dignified, Inc. is a Delaware Corporation, and was formed on August 28, 2015 to be the franchise management arm of My Power Solutions, Inc’s franchise operations in Africa. These entities are collectively referred herein to as Poverty Dignified, or the Company.

Going Concern and Management’s Plans

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of February 28, 2018, the Company had cash of $345, a working capital deficit of $2,325,845 and a stockholders’ deficit of $2,273,287. The Company has incurred net losses from start-up costs and minimal operations since inception to February 28, 2018 and continues to expend cash in order to accomplish its business objectives. Based on the Company’s current progress in its business plan, it has not successfully implemented its plan to mitigate the going concern issue. Specifically, the Company has only one operational unit and has not been effective in reducing operating expenses. As a result, as of February 28, 2018, these issues raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company needs revenues or must raise additional capital, reduce expenses and curtail cash outflows in order to be able to accomplish its business plan. In the interim, the Company will accrue for management salaries and defer certain payments and will continue to borrow funds from affiliates and third parties as needed. From the Company’s inception through February 28, 2018, the Company has one operational franchise unit. As such, the Company has recognized franchise revenue of $146,180 and associated franchise expenses and cost of product revenue of $143,844 from inception through February 28, 2018.

Since our original Private Placement Offering was not sufficient to capitalize the Company, Poverty Dignified, Inc. conducted a Private Investment in Public Equity transaction, in which the Company offered 1,000,000 unregistered shares to accredited investors at a discounted price of $0.75 per share to raise an additional $750,000 of growth capital. Under this offering, the Company sold 999,970 shares of common stock for proceeds of $749,977, including 784,302 shares of common stock for proceeds of $588,226 during the year ended August 31, 2017. Poverty Dignified, Inc. is currently doing a Private Placement Memorandum, in which the Company is offering 2,000,000 shares at a price of $1.50 per share to raise an additional $3,000,000 in growth capital. In this Private Placement Memorandum, the Company has the option to sell shares at a price lower than the $1.50 per share. Through August 31, 2017, under this Private Placement Memorandum, the Company issued 144,000 shares of common stock at a discounted price of $0.75 per share for proceeds of $108,000 and issued 49,700 shares of common stock at the offering price of $1.50 per share for proceeds of $74,550. During the six months ended February 28, 2018, the Company issued 10,800 shares at a discounted price of $0.75 per share and 6,000 shares at a price of $1.50 for total proceeds of $17,100.

Table of Contents

During the third or fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018, Poverty Dignified, Inc. plans to ask for approval for a secondary offering. Upon approval, the Company plans to register 1,000,000 shares in an S-1 registration. Once “effective” by the SEC, these shares will be made available to the public market.

The Company has borrowed funds from a related party for working capital purposes and $591,630 remains outstanding under notes payable to this related party at February 28, 2018.

During the year ended August 31, 2017, the Company entered into two separate convertible note payable agreements, which provided net proceeds of $125,075, after payment of debt issuance costs totaling $24,925.

During the six months ended February 28, 2018, the Company entered into four separate convertible note payable agreements for an aggregate principal amount of $199,000. After original issue discounts and debt issuance costs totaling $32,000, net proceeds to the Company were $167,000.

Under the second phase of its expanded franchise capacity, Poverty Dignified, Inc’s wholly-owned subsidiary, My Power Solutions, Inc., is currently in the final stages of completing its involvement in a Public Private Partnership with the Development Bank of South Africa. Should this Public Private Partnership be fully executed, My Power Solutions, Inc. will have the responsibility of placing 240 franchise units in rural communities over the next thirty-six months, beginning later in 2018. It will be working within a consortium, headed by InovaSure, a South African organization created to provide energy security to the people of South Africa, to bring electricity, connectivity and digital education to 240,000 homes. This Public Private Partnership would impact our near-term operational cash flow significantly though upfront development funds, projected to be $150,000 per location, or $36,000,000, over the next thirty-six months. Additionally, MPS would receive ongoing revenues to manage and maintain each of the 240 franchise units over a twenty-five year period.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they may not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations or cash flows. It is management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, for the year ended August 31, 2017. The interim results for the six months ended February 28, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Poverty Dignified, Inc., My Power Solutions, Inc. and Africhise, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Risks and Uncertainties

Poverty Dignified’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure funding to operationalize the franchise business concept.

Table of Contents

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash

The Company maintains funds in various financial institutions that are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). As such, funds are insured based on Federal Reserve limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in the past, and management believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on the current account balances. At times, cash balances may exceed insured limits.

The Company has determined that the functional currency of its foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. At February 28, 2018 and August 31, 2017, the Company had cash in foreign bank accounts of $178 and $5,107, respectively.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist of payments primarily related to a professional fee retainer, payroll advance and short-term deposits.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally between three and five years. As of February 28, 2018 and August 31, 2017, property and equipment consists of computer equipment and solar equipment for containers with a total cost of $61,135 and $55,673, respectively. Accumulated depreciation as of February 28, 2018 and August 31, 2017 is $2,614 and $2,168, respectively. Depreciation expense for the three and six month periods ended February 28, 2018 was $217 and $446, respectively. Depreciation expense for the three and six month periods ended February 28, 2017 was $133 and $265, respectively.

Accrued Expenses

Accrued expenses are recorded when incurred and primarily consist of accrued interest on notes payable and amounts due for supplies and travel. Accrued payroll consists of salary amounts earned but deferred by the Company’s management team.

Derivative Liabilities

The Company has certain financial instruments that contain embedded derivatives. The Company evaluates all its financial instruments to determine if those contracts or any potential embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be accounted for separately. This accounting treatment requires that the carrying amount of any embedded derivatives be recorded at fair value at issuance and marked-to-market at each balance sheet date. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, as is the case with the Company, the change in the fair value during the period is recorded as either income or expense. Upon conversion, exercise or repayment, the respective derivative liability is marked to fair value at the conversion, repayment or exercise date and then the related fair value amount is reclassified to income or expense as part of gain or loss on extinguishment.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue once pervasive evidence that an agreement exists; the product and/or service have been rendered; the fee is fixed and determinable; and collection of the amount due is reasonably assured.

Table of Contents

Franchise Revenue

Our franchise-related revenue is comprised of three separate and distinct earnings processes: area development fees, initial franchise fees, and continuing royalty payments.

Area Development Fees – Our area development fee consists of an initial, non-refundable payment of $15,000 per unit to be developed in consideration for the services we perform in preparation of executing each area development agreement. $5,000 of this initial area development fee relates to services, which include, but are not limited to, conducting market and territory analysis, are completed prior to our execution of the area development agreement and receipt of the corresponding area development fee. As a result, we recognize this portion of the area development fee as revenue upon receipt. The remaining $10,000 is allocated to the opening of the franchise and is recognized in accordance with our revenue recognition policy on initial franchise fee revenue noted below. From inception through February 28, 2018, the Company had not executed any area development agreements.

Initial Franchise Fees – The Company executes franchise agreements that set the terms of its arrangement with each franchisee. The franchise agreements require the franchisee to pay an initial, non-refundable fee of $15,000. Initial franchise fee revenue from the sale of a franchise is recognized when the Company has substantially performed or satisfied all of its material obligations relating to the sale. Substantial performance has occurred when the Company has (a) performed substantially all of its initial services required by the franchise agreement, such as assistance in site selection, personnel training and implementation of an accounting and quality control system; and (b) completed all of its other material pre-opening obligations. Additionally, at the contract signing, the franchisee is required to fund $90,000 for purchases of equipment, inventory, point of sale software and computer hardware, furniture, fixtures and décor and signage and payment of import taxes and freight costs. Revenue for these items is recognized upon delivery of the assets. The Company defers revenue from the initial franchise fee and other amounts due at contract signing until the respective revenue recognition milestones are met. From inception through February 28, 2018, the Company had sold three franchise units. The Company completed the services required to recognize the revenue for one of the franchise units. As such, the Company recognized franchise revenue of $3,613 and associated franchise expenses of $34,903 for the six months ended February 28, 2017. For the six months ended February 28, 2018, the Company recognized no revenue and franchise expenses of $15 on the one franchise unit.

Management decided to repurchase the remaining two franchise units and plans to utilize them for corporate-owned franchise purposes. As such, the respective investments made by the franchisees will be refunded. The total refund amount of $206,999 is classified as other liabilities at February 28, 2018 and August 31, 2017.

Continuing Royalty Payments – On an ongoing basis, royalties of 14% of gross revenues on authorized products and services will be recognized in the period in which they are earned. For the six months ended February 28, 2017, the Company recognized franchise revenue of $2,840 from royalties. There were no revenues from continuing royalty payments for the three and six months ended February 28, 2018.

Product Revenue

Product revenue represents amounts earned for equipment delivered and set up by the Company for digital classroom purposes within schools in its franchise markets, but not included in the franchises themselves. For products that include installation, and if the installation meets the criteria to be considered a separate element, product revenue is recognized upon delivery, and installation revenue is recognized when the installation is complete. For revenue that includes customer-specified acceptance criteria, revenue is recognized after the acceptance criteria have been met. Certain of the Company’s products require specialized installation. Revenue for these products is deferred until installation is completed. There were no revenues from products for the six months ended February 28, 2018. For the six months ended February 28, 2017, the Company recognized product revenue of $15,840, and associated cost of product revenue of $12,956.

The Company is currently dedicating substantial efforts towards the cultivation of a proposed partnership with Inovasure and the Development Bank of South Africa. The Company hopes to participate in a Public Private Partnership with both entities, and once consummated, management will migrate to a joint development and corporate owned franchise model that encompasses development, management and maintenance in its revenue model.

Advertising

Advertising expenditures are charged to expense as incurred and are included in general and administrative expense. Total advertising expense for the three and six month periods ended February 28, 2018 was $-0-. Total advertising expense for the three and six month periods ended February 28, 2017 was $3,083 and $52,086, respectively, and is included in general and administrative expenses.

Research and Development

Research and development expenditures are charged to expense as incurred.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, prepaid expense, deferred financing cost, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accrued expenses, convertible notes and notes payable. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate their respective estimated fair value due to the short-term maturities and approximate market interest rates of these instruments.

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

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

Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; liabilities in active markets;

Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability other than quoted prices, either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active; or directly or indirectly including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active;

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

The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at February 28, 2018 and August 31, 2017, measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

February 28, 2018	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Table of Contents

When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the consolidated financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority.

The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits would be classified as additional income taxes in the consolidated statements of income. No interest or penalties were recognized for the six months ended February 28, 2018 or 2017.

Tax years 2015 and forward remain open to examination under United States statute of limitations. Management is not aware of any material uncertain tax positions and no liability has been recognized at February 28, 2018 or August 31, 2017.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each year, while diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding.

Foreign Currency Translation

For financial reporting purposes, the functional currency of the foreign operations of My Power Solutions, Inc. is the local currency. The assets and liabilities of foreign operations for which the local currency is the functional currency are translated into the U.S. dollar at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, while revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the period. The accumulated foreign currency translation adjustment is presented as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit).

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported stockholders’ deficit or net loss.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, Accounting Standards Updates (ASU) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its financial condition or the results of operations.

NOTE 5 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

On April 13, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement whereas, Peak One Opportunity Fund, L.P. (the “buyer”) wishes to purchase from the Company securities consisting of the Company’s convertible debentures due three years from issuance for an aggregate principal amount of up to $400,000 (which includes an aggregate purchase price of $370,000 and an original issue discount (“OID”) of $30,000) (the “Debentures”). The Debentures are to be issued in three tranches. On April 21, 2017, the Company issued the first (the “Signing Debenture”) of the three Debentures amounting to $100,000 of principal and a $10,000 OID. At closing, the Company paid a commitment fee to the buyer of $2,500 and paid the buyer’s legal costs of $2,500, resulting in net proceeds of $85,000. The debenture was convertible at a conversion price of $1.50 up to 180 days. After 180 days, the conversion price is the lesser of (a) $1.50 or (b) sixty five percent (65%) of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock for the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the date of the date of conversion of the Debentures. As additional consideration, the Company issued 30,000 shares of common stock to Peak One Investments, LLC (the General Partner of the buyer) upon execution of this agreement. In relation to this transaction, the Company also incurred deferred finance costs totaling $2,500 for legal fees and commitment fees and $8,500 for a due diligence fee. Accordingly, the Company recorded debt discount of $41,379 related to the restricted shares issued, based on the relative fair value allocation of the net proceeds between the face value of debentures and the fair value of the restricted shares and deferred finance costs of $11,000. During the six months ended February 28, 2018, the holder’s option to convert became active and the Company recorded a derivative liability of $116,364, in which the fair value of the embedded derivative was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. A portion of the derivative liability was attributed to debt discount, with the remaining amount recorded as a loss on valuation of derivative liabilities. The debt discount is amortized over the term of the note or to the date of conversion, and the derivative liability is revalued at each conversion or reporting date to fair value. Any change in fair value is credited or charged to the statement of operations in the period. During the six months ended February 28, 2018, the holder effected four conversions for a total of 193,668 shares to extinguish a portion of the long-term convertible debenture. As a result, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $71,756.

On April 24, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement whereas, Auctus Fund, LLC (the “buyer”) wishes to purchase from the Company a 10% convertible note for a principal amount of $65,000. On April 24, 2017, the Company issued a convertible promissory note (the “note”) to the buyer for $65,000 in proceeds. The note matures on January 5, 2018. The note is convertible at a conversion price of the lesser of (i) 50% of lowest trading price during the 25 days prior to the date of the note or (ii) 50% of the lowest trading price during the 25 days prior to the conversion date. At the closing, the Company paid legal and compliance fees of $2,750, a management fee to an affiliate of the buyer of $5,500 and a due diligence fee of $5,675 to the group that introduced the Company to the buyer. Accordingly, the Company recorded a debt discount of $65,000, with $51,075 attributable to the allocation to the beneficial conversion feature and $13,925 related to deferred finance costs. During the six months ended February 28, 2018, the holder’s option to convert became active and the Company recorded a derivative liability of $68,506, in which the fair value of the embedded derivative was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. A portion of the derivative liability was attributed to debt discount, with the remaining amount recorded to reclassify the beneficial conversion feature. The debt discount is amortized over the term of the note or to the date of conversion, and the derivative liability is revalued at each conversion or reporting date to fair value. Any change in fair value is credited or charged to the statement of operations in the period. During the six months ended February 28, 2018, the holder effected two conversions for a total of 70,000 shares to extinguish a portion of the convertible note payable. As a result, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $18,335. The convertible note payable to Auctus Fund, LLC matured on January 5, 2018 but was not repaid at that date. Under the terms of the note agreement, the failure to pay the outstanding balance on the note by the maturity date constitutes an event of default. Due to the event of default, the outstanding principal amount increased by $15,000, the interest rate increased to 24% and the unpaid principal and accrued interest increased to 150% of the previous outstanding amount. As such, the Company has recorded a debt default penalty expense of $51,392 for the six months ended February 28, 2018.

On November 15, 2017, the Company issued a convertible note to Power Up Lending Group, LTD. for $48,000. The note bears interest at 12%, matures on August 20, 2018, and is convertible into common stock at 58% of the lowest 3 closing market prices of the previous 20 trading days prior to conversion. The Company also recorded a $3,000 debt discount due to issuance fees. The holder’s conversion option under the note does not become active until 180 days after the issuance date. As such, there is no beneficial conversion or embedded derivative at issuance or at February 28, 2018.

On November 15, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement whereas, Morningview Financial, LLC (the “buyer”) wishes to purchase from the Company a 10% convertible note for a principal amount of $55,000. On November 15, 2017, the Company issued a convertible promissory note (the “note”) to the buyer for $50,000 in proceeds, after a $5,000 original issue discount. The note matures on November 15, 2018. The note is convertible at a conversion price of 50% of the lowest trading price during the 20 days prior to the conversion date. At the closing, the Company paid closing costs and a consulting fee totaling $7,000. Accordingly, the Company recorded a debt discount of $12,000. At issuance, the holder’s option to convert was active and the Company recorded a derivative liability of $63,442, in which the fair value of the embedded derivative was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. A portion of the derivative liability was attributed to debt discount, with the remaining amount recorded to loss on valuation of derivative liabilities. The debt discount is amortized over the term of the note or to the date of conversion, and the derivative liability is revalued at each conversion or reporting date to fair value. Any change in fair value is credited or charged to the statement of operations in the period.

On December 18, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement whereas, EMA Financial, LLC (the “buyer”) wishes to purchase from the Company an 8% convertible note for a principal amount of $56,000.

At the closing, the Company paid closing costs and a consulting fee totaling $8,000. Accordingly, the Company recorded a debt discount of $11,000. At issuance, the holder’s option to convert was active and the Company recorded a derivative liability of $64,948, in which the fair value of the embedded derivative was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

On December 21, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement whereas, Crown Bridge Partners, LLC (the “buyer”) wishes to purchase from the Company securities consisting of the Company’s 8% convertible notes payable for an aggregate principal amount of up to $120,000 (which includes an aggregate purchase price of $106,500 and an original issue discount (“OID”) of $13,500). The convertible notes payable are to be issued in three tranches. On December 21, 2017, the Company issued the first of the three convertible notes payable amounting to $40,000 of principal and a $4,500 OID. At closing, the Company paid the buyer’s legal costs of $1,500, resulting in net proceeds of $34,000. The note is convertible at a conversion price of 55% of the lowest trading price during the 25 days prior to the conversion date. If the determined conversion price is less than $.050, then the conversion price is 40% of the lowest trading price during the 25 days prior to the conversion date. This convertible note payable matures on December 21, 2018. As additional consideration, the Company issued a Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the “warrant”) for 32,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.25 over an exercise period of 5 years. Due to the provisions of the warrant, the warrant was classified as a derivative warrant liability, the fair value of which was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The value of $7,332 at issuance was attributed to debt discount. Additionally, at issuance, the holder’s option to convert was active and the Company recorded a derivative liability of $64,698, in which the fair value of the embedded derivative was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. A portion of the derivative liability was attributed to debt discount, with the remaining amount recorded to loss on valuation of derivative liabilities. The debt discount is amortized over the term of the note or to the date of conversion, and the derivative liabilities are revalued at each conversion or reporting date to fair value. Any change in fair value is credited or charged to the statement of operations in the period.

The following table summarizes the balances of convertible notes payable:

NOTE 6 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

The Company analyzed the warrant and beneficial conversion features (“BCF”) for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and determined that the warrant was a derivative warrant liability and that the conversion options on convertible notes payable become derivatives at the point the holder’s option to convert becomes active and there is active trading of the Company’s stock.

Table of Contents

The Company determined our derivative liabilities to be a Level 3 fair value measurement and used the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value as of February 28, 2018. The Black-Scholes model requires six basic data inputs: the exercise or strike price, time to expiration, the risk free interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate. Changes to these inputs could produce a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The fair value of each convertible note is estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The following weighted-average assumptions were used at February 28, 2018 and August 31, 2017:

	February 28, 2018	August 31, 2017
Expected term	0.00 - 2.15 years		-
Expected average volatility	87% - 128%		-
Expected dividend yield	-		-
Risk-free interest rate	0.00%-2.25%		-

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES

Due to the operating loss and the inability to recognize an income tax benefit, there is no provision for current or deferred federal or state income taxes for the period from inception through February 28, 2018.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amount used for federal and state income tax purposes.

The Company’s total deferred tax asset, calculated using federal and state effective tax rates is as follows:

Deferred tax assets:	February 28, 2018			August 31, 2017
Net operating loss carryforwards	$	1,222,630		$	933,112
Organization costs		90,321			94,116
Accrued payroll		318,823			269,324
Gross deferred tax asset		1,631,774			1,296,552
Valuation allowance		(1,631,774	)		(1,296,552	)
Net deferred tax asset	$	-		$	-

The Company has not recognized a deferred tax asset for its stock compensation expense due to its non-deductibility. The Company has no plans to pursue any tax benefits relative to its recognized stock compensation expense.

The reconciliation of income taxes computed at a rate of 35% to total income taxes for the six months ended February 28, 2018 and 2017 is as follows:

	2018			2017
Income tax computed at the federal statutory rate	$	(335,222	)	$	(228,923	)
State income tax, net of federal tax benefit		-			-
Total		(335,222	)		(228,923	)
Change in valuation allowance		335,222			228,923
Provision for income taxes	$	-		$	-

In addition to federal taxes, the Company is subject to taxes in South Africa through its operating subsidiary there. As a result of the cumulative operating losses in South Africa, the Company has deferred assets relating to net operating losses, as well as other deferred tax assets which have offset by a valuation allowance as of February 28, 2018 and August 31, 2017. Because of the Company’s lack of earnings history, the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance increased by $335,222 and $228,923 during the six months ended February 28, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

As of February 28, 2018, the Company had a federal and state net operating loss carryforward in the amount of $3,493,229. The net operating loss carryforward differs from the accumulated deficit incurred to date primarily due to the non-deductibility of stock compensation and organizational costs capitalized for income tax purposes. Our federal net operating losses will begin to expire in 2034 and our state tax loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2029.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. President signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “2017 Tax Act). Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) requires that the company recognize the effects of changes in tax laws or tax rates in the financial statements for the period in which such changes were enacted. Among other things, changes in tax laws or tax rates can affect the amount of taxes payable for the current period, as well as the amount and timing of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets. The Company is a fiscal year reporting company, because the 2017 Tax Act became law in December 2017, and as such would be required to account for the impacts related to the 2017 Tax Act in the financial statements included in their annual report on Form 10-K for August 31, 2018 due in November 2018. The Company has elected to take advantage of the extended measurement period provided by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, and will report the effect of the changes from the 2017 Tax Act when the calculations are complete, or reasonable estimates can be determined. The Company has begun the process of analysis of the 2017 Tax Act and will recognize the effect of the changes in tax laws or rates in the period that the process has been completed.

Item 2. Management`s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

With the exception of historical matters, the matters discussed herein are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning anticipated trends in revenues and net income, projections concerning operations and available cash flow. Our actual results could differ materially from the results discussed in such forward-looking statements. The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.

Background Overview

Poverty Dignified, Inc. is incorporated in the State of Nevada in September 2013. We were formed to operate as a renewable energy company, incubating franchise business concepts designed to affect the individual, community and local economy in rural and peri-urban areas across the globe. In September 2013, we commenced our planned principal operations. To date, we have invested in developing our business plan, developing relationships with a variety of potential marketplaces, developing our wholly-owned subsidiary, My Power Solutions, Inc, and developing our franchise agreement. On March 30, 2015, we sold our first franchise. As of the date of this filing, we have one operational franchise.

Since our inception on September 27, 2013 to February 28, 2018, we have generated revenues of $146,180 and $143,844 of franchise expenses and cost of product revenue from one franchise and have an accumulated loss of $10,742,626, due in part from recording stock compensation for issuing our stock at par value to certain insiders in exchange for cash and services. Since incorporation, the Company has raised capital through private sales of its common stock. As of February 28, 2018, 6,281,000 of our 8,967,394 outstanding shares of common stock were issued to various stockholders in exchange for services and/or under restricted stock agreements. Relative to those shares, since inception, the Company has recognized total expense of $6,166,157. Although we do not value the services at this price, we value the stock at the per share price under the current Private Placement Memorandum or other equity offerings in effect at the time the services are rendered, which we believe represents the fair value of the stock issued.

Going Concern

In order to continue as a going concern and achieve a profitable level of operations, we will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan to continue as a going concern includes raising investment capital through leveraging equity in the Company, generating revenue through operations and by securing additional debt and/or equity financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that we will be successful in accomplishing any of our plans to raise additional investment capital or generate revenue through operations. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon management’s ability to successfully implement the plans described above. Management cannot provide any assurance that unforeseen circumstances that may occur at any time within the next twelve months, or thereafter, will not increase the need for us to raise additional capital on an immediate basis. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to raise funds in subsequent debt or equity financings, in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations.

The Company’s primary source of operating funds since inception has been equity financings through a private placement. In its private placement memorandum dated January 2014 and closed November 2014, the Company raised $1,182,180 for its operations, research and development, and marketing of its franchise opportunities. Additionally, the Company has borrowed funds from a related party for working capital purposes and $591,630 remains outstanding under notes payable to this related party at February 28, 2018.

Through February 28, 2018, we have one operational franchise. As such, the Company has recognized revenues of $146,180 and associated franchise expenses and cost of product revenue of $143,844 since its inception through February 28, 2018. The Company needs to generate additional revenues or raise additional capital in order to be able to accomplish its business plan. In the interim, the Company will accrue for management salaries and will continue to borrow funds from affiliates as needed.

Since our original Private Placement Offering was not sufficient to capitalize the Company, Poverty Dignified, Inc. conducted a Private Investment in Public Equity transaction, in which the Company offered 1,000,000 unregistered shares to accredited investors at a discounted price of $0.75 per share to raise an additional $750,000 of growth capital. Under this offering, the Company sold 999,970 shares of common stock for proceeds of $749,977, including 784,302 shares of common stock for proceeds of $588,226 during the year ended August 31, 2017. Poverty Dignified, Inc. is currently doing a Private Placement Memorandum, in which the Company is offering 2,000,000 shares at a price of $1.50 per share to raise an additional $3,000,000 in growth capital. In this Private Placement Memorandum, the Company has the option to sell shares at a price lower than the $1.50 per share. Through August 31, 2017, under this Private Placement Memorandum, the Company issued 144,000 shares of common stock at a discounted price of $0.75 per share for proceeds of $108,000 and issued 36,000 shares of common stock at the offering price of $1.50 per share for proceeds of $54,000. During the six months ended February 28, 2018, the Company issued 10,800 shares at a discounted price of $0.75 per share and 6,000 shares at a price of $1.50 for total proceeds of $17,100.

Under the second phase of its expanded franchise capacity, Poverty Dignified, Inc’s wholly-owned subsidiary, My Power Solutions, Inc., is currently in the final stages of completing its involvement in a Public Private Partnership with the Development Bank of South Africa. Should this Public Private Partnership be fully executed, My Power Solutions, Inc. will have the responsibility of placing 240 franchise units in rural communities over the next thirty-six months, beginning in early 2018. It will be working within a consortium, headed by InovaSure, a South African organization created to provide energy security to the people of South Africa, to bring electricity, connectivity and digital education to 240,000 homes. This Public Private Partnership would impact our near-term operational cash flow significantly though upfront development funds, projected to be $150,000 per location, or $36,000,000, over the next thirty-six months. Additionally, MPS would receive ongoing revenues to manage and maintain each of the 240 franchise units over a twenty-five year period.

Poverty Dignified, Inc. is an “Incubation” company. The Company is constantly incubating other business concepts and technologies that will be wholly-owned subsidiaries of Poverty Dignified. These concepts could contribute to the overall profitability of Poverty Dignified, Inc. and allow the necessary funds to be in place to offset any additional costs from the operations of My Power Solutions, Inc.

Results of Operations

For the three and six months ended February 28, 2018

There were no revenues for the three and six months ended February 28, 2018. The current revenue generating status of our operational unit has undergone some regulatory transitional barriers as it relates to revenue generating capacity. The unit has been able to effectively demonstrate its ability to roll out its model in the community and install the digital education infrastructure and the internet and wi-fi infrastructure. To date the unit has installed two e-Learning classrooms and provided internet connectivity to both the school and the community, both of which are currently bringing benefit and value to the community. We feel it is important to note that there has been a delay to the completion of our primary revenue generator, the electricity infrastructure, and feel this has prohibited the unit from reaching its true revenue generation goals, but remain optimistic that it will be able to remedy these regulatory barriers and reach revenue generation by the end of the third quarter. As a result, we had a net loss of $530,660 and $957,779, respectively, for the three and six months ended February 28, 2018.

Our expenses for the six months ended February 28, 2018 were related to franchise expenses of $15, professional fees of $120,057, and general and administrative costs of $448,349. General and administrative costs primarily consisted of payroll expenses of $322,477, non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $85,750 and $18,245 of travel related costs. $141,425 of the payroll expenses related to amounts accrued for, but not paid to, the Company’s management team.

The Company recorded a loss on the changes in fair value of derivative liabilities of $127,169 for the six months ended February 28, 2018. As a result of conversions of convertible debt during the six months ended February 28, 2018, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $90,091. Additionally, due to an event of default on one of its convertible notes payable, the Company recorded debt default penalty expense of $51,392 during the six months ended February 28, 2018.

For the three and six months ended February 28, 2017

We recognized franchise revenue of $2,840 and $6,453, respectively, for the three and six months ended February 28, 2017. The associated franchise expenses were $17,822 and $34,903, respectively. Franchise expenses exceed franchise revenue on the Company’s first operational franchise due to the Company bearing unforeseen, additional set-up costs, which are not expected to recur in future franchises.

During the three and six months ended February 28, 2017, we recognized $15,840 of revenue and $12,956 of cost of revenue associated with product sale and installation of equipment for digital classroom purposes within a school in our initial franchise market, but not included in our initial franchise unit. Except for our currently operational franchise and the two units sold but not yet operational, we expect all future revenues associated with digital classrooms, whether within a school or a franchise unit, to be included within the scope of our franchise revenue structure.

Our expenses for the six months ended February 28, 2017 were related to franchise expenses of $34,903, cost of product revenue of $12,956, research and development of $558, professional fees of $96,872, and general and administrative costs of $522,331. General and administrative costs primarily consisted of payroll expenses of $326,059, $52,086 in advertising and $94,229 of travel related costs. Of the payroll expenses, $163,180 related to amounts accrued for, but not paid to, the Company’s management team.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company currently has one operational franchise in South Africa. From inception to February 28, 2018, we have generated revenues of $146,180 and $143,844 of franchise expenses and cost of product revenue from one franchise and have incurred operating expenses totaling $10,744,962, of which $6,166,157 was non-cash compensation. We do not expect to incur many of these costs on a regular basis as they were for research and development and stock to our founders and consultants. Although we do believe we will continue to need the services of our founders and consultants, we do not believe that we will continue to issue large quantities of stock for those services. Stock to our founders and consultants was tendered at par value and for various services. We also believe that we will not invest as much capital for research and development, and therefore, our expenses will decrease. Furthermore, we issued significant amounts of stock in exchange for services. We do not believe that we will continue this trend in the future. The Company needs to generate revenues or raise additional capital in order to be able to accomplish its business plan. In the interim, the Company will accrue for management salaries and will continue to borrow funds from affiliates as needed.

Poverty Dignified, Inc. is currently doing a Private Placement Memorandum, in which the Company is offering 2,000,000 shares at a price of $1.50 per share to raise an additional $3,000,000 in growth capital. In this Private Placement Memorandum, the Company has the option to sell shares at a price lower than the $1.50 per share. Through August 31, 2017, under this Private Placement Memorandum, the Company issued 144,000 shares of common stock at a discounted price of $0.75 per share for proceeds of $108,000 and issued 36,000 shares of common stock at the offering price of $1.50 per share for proceeds of $54,000. During the six months ended February 28, 2018, the Company issued 10,800 shares at a discounted price of $0.75 per share and 6,000 shares at a price of $1.50 for total proceeds of $17,100.

As of February 28, 2018, we had cash of $345 and have had a net decrease in cash of $6,801 during the six months ended February 28, 2018. We believe in the near future we will generate revenues from operations. We are substantially complete with our research and development activities as it relates to My Power Solutions and our operations in Africa. We do not expect to incur any additional research and development expenses at this time with respect to the aforementioned My Power Solutions business concept. However, if we want to develop and expand our business concept, we will need to reinvest all of our earnings into our operations. Therefore, we do not believe we will have any profits in the near future, nor we will be distributing any dividends.

We do not currently have enough cash on hand to deploy our current business plan in 2018. In order to achieve a profitable level of operations, we will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan to continue as a going concern includes raising investment capital through leveraging equity in the Company, generating revenue through operations and by securing additional debt and/or equity financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that we will be successful in accomplishing any of our plans to raise additional investment capital or generate revenue through operations. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon management’s ability to successfully implement the plans described above. Management cannot provide any assurance that unforeseen circumstances that may occur at any time within the next twelve months, or thereafter, will not increase the need for us to raise additional capital on an immediate basis.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures, our principal executive and financial officer has concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective. The Company’s principal executive and financial officer has determined that there are material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures.

Table of Contents

The material weaknesses in our disclosure control procedures are as follows:

1)	lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board of Directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal control and procedures; and
2)	inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives;

We recognize the importance of the control environment as it sets the overall tone for the organization and is the foundation for all other components of internal control.

As of April 12, 2018, while we have hired a third-party consultant to help us with our public reporting and disclosures we have not taken action to correct the material weaknesses identified above in our internal control over financial reporting. Once the Company has additional sales activities and has sufficient personnel available, then our Board of Directors, in connection with the aforementioned weaknesses, will implement the following remediation measures:

We will hire additional personnel with sufficient qualifications to allow us to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us. We plan to use some of the funds through the private placement offering to allocate to this additional salary cost.

And, we plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds are available to us.

Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board.

If we are able to raise additional capital, we anticipate having sufficient funds to at least partially, if not fully, implement our plans by August 31, 2018. Additionally, we plan to test our updated controls and remediate our deficiencies by August 31, 2018.
