PART I

 

ITEM 1.    BUSINESS

 

Corporate History

 

Verde Bio Holdings, Inc. (formerly Appiphany Technologies Holdings Corp.) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 24, 2010. On May 1, 2010, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Appiphany Technologies Corporation (“ATC”) to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of ATC in exchange for 1,500,000 common shares of the Company.  As the acquisition involved companies under common control, the acquisition was accounted for in accordance with ASC 805-50, Business Combinations – Related Issues, and the consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of the Company and ATC since inception. On February 19, 2019, Media Convergence Group, a Nevada corporation (“Media Convergence”) entered into a certain Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with TerraQuest Holdings, LLC (“TerraQuest”) for the sale of 500,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Shares”) of the Company.  The purchase of the Shares (“Share Purchase”) was closed on November 22, 2019.

 

Upon the Closing of the Share Purchase, Scott Cox, as the successor in interest to TerraQuest, became the owner of the Shares, and as such gained voting control of the Company by virtue of the 10,000 for 1 voting rights of the Series A Preferred Shares.  

 

In connection with the Closing of the Share Purchase, the Company changed its management and Board. Robert Sargent resigned as the sole member of the Board and Scott Cox was elected as the sole member of the Board and as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.  Mr. Cox brings 25 years of experience in the oil gas industry changed the Company’s business strategy to oil and gas exploration and investment.

 

Nature of Business

 

The Company is a growing U.S. energy company based in Frisco, Texas, engaged in the acquisition and development of high-probability, lower risk onshore oil and gas properties within the major oil and gas plays in the U.S. The Company’s dual-focused growth strategy relies primarily on leveraging management’s expertise to grow through the strategic acquisition of non-operating, working interests and royalty interests with the goal of developing into a major company in the industry. Through this strategy of acquisition of royalty and non-operating properties, the Company has the unique ability to rely on the technical and scientific expertise of the world-class E&P companies operating in the area.

 

Plan of Operations

 

To date, the Company has begun implementing its business plan and is attempting to secure additional funding to continue expansion of our services and products.  The Company has not had any significant revenues generated from its business operations since inception.  Until the Company is able to generate any consistent and significant revenue, it may be required to raise additional funds by way of equity or debt financing.

 

Government Regulation

 

The oil and gas business is subject to extensive governmental regulation under which, among other things, rates of production from our wells may be fixed. Governmental regulation also may limit or otherwise affect the market for wells’ production and the price which may be paid for that production. Governmental regulations relating to environmental matters could also affect our operations. The nature and extent of various regulations, the nature of other political developments and their overall effect upon us are not predictable.

Operating Expenses and Net Loss

 

During the year ended April 30, 2020, the Company recorded operating expenses of $259,217 compared with $37,081 for the year ended April 30, 2019.  The increase in operating expenses of $222,136 reflected an increase in General and administrative expenses of the payment of consulting fees of $100,789, an increase in management fees of $38,030 and an increase in professional fees of $93,505, offset by a bad debt recovery of $1,569 and a decrease in consulting fees of $8,619.   The increase in operating expenses corresponded with the costs and expenses associated with bringing the Company current in its filings and the shift to a new industry focus.

For the year ended April 30, 2020, the Company recorded a loss per share of $1.03 as compared with a loss per share of $0.53 per share for the year ended April 30, 2019.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of April 30, 2020, the Company's total asset balance was $1,631, compared to $23,752 for the year ended April 30, 2019.  The decrease in total assets was due to a decrease in cash of $22,121.  

 

As of April 30, 2020, the Company had total liabilities of $3,136,509 compared with total liabilities of $2,030,459 as at April 30, 2019. The increase in total liabilities was due to an increase in convertible debt in the amount of $131,935, an increase in derivative liability of $524,979, an increase in amounts due to related parties of $19,056, and convertible preferred Series B Stock liability of $583,000, offset by a decrease in notes payable of $990 and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $151,930 as the Company had limited cash flows for day-to-day expenditures.

 

As of April 30, 2020, the Company had a working capital deficit of $3,134,878 compared with $2,006,707 as of April 30, 2019.  The increase in working capital deficit was due to an increase in convertible debt in the amount of $131,935, an increase in derivative liability of $524,979, an increase in amounts due to related parties of $19,056, and convertible preferred Series B Stock liability of $583,000.

The increase was due to an increase in the loss on change in fair value of derivative liability in the amount of $636,273, loss on the settlement of debt of $298,579, preferred shares issued for consulting fees of $33,000 and original issue discount of $21,563 and is offset by a decrease in default and conversion fees of $2,833, interest and penalties accrued on convertible debt payments of $108,824 and amortization of discount on convertible debt of $71,647.

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Going Concern

 

We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive acquisitions and activities. At April 30, 2020, the Company has not recognized significant revenue, has a working capital deficit of $3,134,878, and has an accumulated deficit of $7,521,745. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The audited financial statements included in this Form 10-K does 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive acquisitions and activities. As at April 30, 2020, the Company has not recognized significant revenue, has a working capital deficit of $3,134,878, and has an accumulated deficit of $7,521,745. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The audited financial statements included in this Form 10-K 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.  

 

Future Financings

 

We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund planned acquisitions and exploration activities.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

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

 

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

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

 

Contractual Obligations

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Verde Bio Holdings, Inc.:

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Verde Bio Holdings, Inc. (formerly Appiphany Technologies Holdings Corp) (“the Company”) as of April 30, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended April 30, 2020 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of April 30, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended April 30, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Explanatory Paragraph Regarding Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficit and an accumulated deficit from recurring losses that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits.  We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.  Such procedures included examining on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in US dollars)

 

1.Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business 

Verde Bio Holdings Inc. (formerly Appiphany Technologies Holdings Corp.) (“The Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 24, 2010. On May 1, 2010, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Appiphany Technologies Corporation (“ATC”) to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of ATC in exchange for 1,500,000 common shares of the Company.  As the acquisition involved companies under common control, the acquisition was accounted for in accordance with ASC 805-50, Business Combinations – Related Issues, and the consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of the Company and ATC since inception. On November 18, 2015, ATC was dissolved. Currently, the Company is in the business of oil and gas exploration and investment.

 

Going Concern

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As at April 30, 2020, the Company has not recognized significant revenue, has a working capital deficit of $3,134,878, and has an accumulated deficit of $7,521,745. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its management, and its ability to identify future investment opportunities and obtain the necessary debt or equity financing, and generating profitable operations from the Company’s future operations. The Company will continue to rely on equity sales of its common shares in order to continue to fund business operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the date these financial statements are issued.  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.

 

The recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID-19, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, has led to adverse impacts on the US and global economies, disruptions of financial markets, and created uncertainty regarding potential impacts to the Company’s operations. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to the duration, spread, severity, and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s suppliers and vendors and the remedial actions and stimulus measures adopted by local and federal governments, and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. The management team is closely following the progression of COVID-19 and its potential impact on the Company.  Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, the Company may experience adverse impacts to its business as a result of any economic recession or depression that has occurred or may occur in the future; therefore, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impact at this time on our business, liquidity, capital resources and financial results.

 

 

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

(a)Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The consolidated financial statements are comprised of the records of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, IP Risk Control Inc., a company incorporated in the State of Nevada. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. The Company’s fiscal year end is April 30.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

 

(b)Use of Estimates 

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

(c)Cash and cash equivalents 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As at April 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had no items representing cash equivalents.

(d)Accounts Receivable 

Accounts receivable represents amounts owed from customers for services. Amounts are presented net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, which represents the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the existing accounts receivable balance. The Company determines allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical experience and current economic conditions.  The Company reviews the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis.  

(e)Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share  

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As of April 30, 2020, the Company had 39,994,463 (2019 – 14,502,891) potentially dilutive common shares outstanding.

(f)   Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures and discloses the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy prescribed by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The fair value hierarchy has three levels, which are based on reliable available inputs of observable data. The hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The three-level hierarchy is defined as follows:

Level 1 – quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

(FORMERLY APPIPHANY TECHNOLOGIES HOLDINGS CORP.)

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in US dollars)

 

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

(f) Fair Value Measurements (continued)

Level 2 – quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

Level 3 – fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable, convertible debentures and amounts due to related parties. The fair value of cash is determined based on Level 1 inputs. There were no transfers into or out of “Level 3” during the years ended April 30, 2020, and 2019. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.  

The following table presents assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value as of April 30, 2020 and 2019 on a recurring basis:

(g)Stock-based Compensation 

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation and ASC 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options.  

ASC 718 requires company to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model as its method of determining fair value.  This model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables.  These subjective variables include, but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviours.  The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the statement of operations over the requisite service period.

All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(h)Income Taxes  

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

As of April 30, 2020, and 2019, the Company did not have any amounts recorded pertaining to uncertain tax positions.

The Company files federal and provincial income tax returns in Canada and federal, state and local income tax returns in the U.S., as applicable. The Company may be subject to a reassessment of federal and provincial income taxes by Canadian tax authorities for a period of three years from the date of the original notice of assessment in respect of any particular taxation year. For Canadian and U.S. income tax returns, the open taxation years range from 2016 to 2020. In certain circumstances, the U.S. federal statute of limitations can reach beyond the standard three year period. U.S. state statutes of limitations for income tax assessment vary from state to state. Tax authorities of Canada and U.S. have not examined any of the Company’s, or its subsidiaries’, income tax returns for the open taxation years noted above.

(i)Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

In February 2016, Topic 842, Leases was issued to replace the leases requirements in Topic 840, Leases. The main difference between previous GAAP and Topic 842 is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. A lessee should recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. Topic 842 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be retrospectively applied. Earlier application is permitted. The Company adopted the standard on May 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company´s consolidated financial statements.

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

 

3.Related Party Transactions 

During the year ended April 30, 2020, the Company incurred $33,000 (2019 - $nil) in management fees to the former President and Director of the Company, which was paid in Convertible Preferred Series B shares (see Note 7).

As at April 30, 2020, the Company owed the President and Director of the Company $19,056 (2019 - $nil). The amount is non-interest bearing and due on demand.

4. Notes Payable 

(a) As at April 30, 2020, the Company owed $3,626 (2019 - $4,616) in notes payable to non-related parties. Under the terms of the notes, the amounts are unsecured, bear interest at 6% per annum, and were due on July 31, 2016. The notes bear a default interest rate of 18% per annum.   

(b)As at April 30, 2020, the Company owed $10,000 (2019 – $10,000) in a note payable to a non-related party. Under the terms of the note, the amount is unsecured, bears interest at 5% per annum, and was due on June 6, 2017. The note bears a default interest rate of 12% per annum.  

(c)As at April 30, 2020, the Company owed $2,500 (2019 – $2,500) in a note payable to a non-related party. Under the terms of the note, the amount is unsecured, bears interest at 5% per annum, and was due on February 1, 2018. The note bears a default interest rate of 12% per annum. 

(d)As at April 30, 2020, the Company owed $15,000 (2019 – $15,000) in a note payable to a non-related party. The note payable was issued as a commitment fee and was recorded to additional paid-in capital during the year ended April 30, 2017. Under the terms of the note, the amount is unsecured, bears interest at 8% per annum, and was due on September 15, 2017. The note bears a default interest rate of 20% per annum. 

 

5.Convertible Debentures 

(a)On February 13, 2017, the Company issued a convertible debenture, to a non-related party, for proceeds of $105,000. Pursuant to the agreement, the note was issued with an original issue discount and as such the purchase price was $94,500. Under the terms of the debenture, the amount is unsecured, bears interest at 10% per annum, and was due on November 13, 2017. The debenture is convertible into common shares of the Company at a conversion price equal to 60% of the lowest trading price of the Company’s common stock of the ten prior trading days immediately preceding the issuance of the note. In the event of default, the conversion price decreases to 50% of the lowest trading price of the Company’s common stock of the ten prior trading days immediately preceding the issuance of the note and the interest rate increases to 20%. During the year ended April 30, 2020, the Company incurred $nil (2019 - $1,020) in penalties that were added to the principal balance of the note. 

Due to this provision, the embedded conversion option qualifies for derivative accounting under ASC 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging”. The fair value of the derivative liability resulted in a discount to the note payable of $105,000, of which $20,000 of the discount resulted from debt issuance costs. The carrying value of the convertible note will be accreted over the term of the convertible note up to the face value of $105,000. As at April 30, 2020, the loan was in default, the carrying value of the note was $8,990 (2019 - $8,990), and the unamortized total discount was $nil (2018 - $nil).

(b)On February 24, 2017, the Company issued a convertible debenture, to a non-related party, for proceeds of $33,000. Under the terms of the debenture, the amount is unsecured, bears interest at 12% per annum pre-default and 20% per annum thereafter, and was due on November 30, 2017. The debenture is convertible into common shares of the Company at a conversion price equal to 58% of the average of the lowest two trading prices of the Company’s common stock of the fifteen prior trading days immediately preceding the issuance of the note. During the year ended April 30, 2020, the Company incurred a $nil (2019 - $38,965) default fee on the note. 

Due to this provision, the embedded conversion option qualifies for derivative accounting under ASC 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging. As at April 30, 2020, the loan was in default, the carrying value of the note was $93,965 (2019 - $93,965).

5.Convertible Debentures (continued) 

(c)On May 9, 2017, the Company issued a convertible debenture, to a non-related party, totaling $36,450. Pursuant to the agreement, the note was issued with an original issue discount and as such the purchase price was $30,000. Under the terms of the debenture, the amount is unsecured, bears interest at 10% per annum, and was due on February 9, 2018. The debenture is convertible into common shares of the Company at a conversion price equal to 60% of the lowest trading price of the Company’s common stock of the past ten trading days prior to notice of conversion. In the event of default the conversion price decreases to 50% of the lowest trading price of the Company’s common stock of the ten prior trading days immediately preceding the issuance of the note and the interest rate increases to 20%. During the year ended April 30, 2020, the Company incurred $nil (2019 - $27,902) in penalties that were added to the principal balance of the note. 

Due to this provision, the embedded conversion option qualifies for derivative accounting under ASC 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging”. The fair value of the derivative liability resulted in a discount to the note payable of $36,450, of which $6,450 of the discount resulted from debt issuance costs. The carrying value of the convertible note will be accreted over the term of the convertible note up to the face value of $36,450. As at April 30, 2020, the loan was in default and the carrying value of the note was $64,352 (2019 - $64,352).

(d)On June 28, 2017, the Company issued a convertible debenture, to a non-related party, totaling $57,250. Pursuant to the agreement, the note was issued with an original issue discount and as such the purchase price and proceeds received was $49,500. Under the terms of the debenture, the amount is unsecured, bears interest at 12% per annum, and was due on March 28, 2018. The debenture is convertible into common shares of the Company at a conversion price equal to the lesser of the 50% of the lowest trading price of the Company’s common stock of the past twenty-five trading days prior to notice of conversion or the issuance of the note. In the event of default the interest rate increases to 24%. 

Due to this provision, the embedded conversion option qualifies for derivative accounting under ASC 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging”. The fair value of the derivative liability resulted in a discount to the note payable of $57,250, of which $7,750 of the discount resulted from debt issuance costs. The carrying value of the convertible note will be accreted over the term of the convertible note up to the face value of $57,250. During the year ended April 30, 2020, the Company issued 417,948 shares of common stock for the conversion of $18,044 of accrued interest and $3,000 of conversion fees and finance costs. During the year ended April 30, 2019, the Company issued 167,930 shares of common stock for the conversion of $1,569 of the note and $2,712 of accrued interest and $2,500 of conversion fees and finance costs. As at April 30, 2020, the loan was in default and the carrying value of the note was $55,341 (2019 - $55,341).

(e)On July 19, 2017, the Company issued a convertible debenture, to a non-related party, for proceeds of $33,333. Pursuant to the agreement, the note was issued with an original issue discount and as such the purchase price was $28,000. Under the terms of the debenture, the amount is unsecured, bears interest at 12% per annum, and was due on July 19, 2018. The debenture is convertible into common shares of the Company at a conversion price equal to 50% of the lowest trading price of the Company’s common stock of the past twenty-five trading days prior to notice of conversion or the issuance of the note. In the event of default the interest rate increases to 24%. During the year ended April 30, 2020, the Company incurred $nil (2019 - $854) in penalties that were added to the principal balance of the note.

On May 28, 2020, the Company granted 24,500,000 restricted shares in exchange for services valued at $65,000. The shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed without the prior written consent of the Company. 20,000,000 of the restricted shares were issued to the CEO of the Company and 1,000,000 of the restricted shares were issued to the father of the CEO of the Company.

On May 28, 2020, the Company and an unrelated party entered into equity financing agreement, whereby the investor shall invest up to $5,000,000 over the period of 36 months at par value of $0.001 per share. As part of the agreement, the Company issued a convertible promissory note to the unrelated party to offset transaction costs of $20,000, which was deemed as earned upon the execution of the agreement. The note is convertible into common stock of the Company at a fixed price of $0.01, which equals the lowest traded price for the common stock on the trading day preceding the execution of the note.

Subsequent to the year ended April 30, 2020, the Company issued 1,250,000 common shares for proceeds of $25,000.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2020 Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the reasons discussed below.

 

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

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

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2020 using the criteria established in " Internal Control - Integrated Framework - 2013" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO").  

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2020 the Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.

 

1.     We do not have an Audit Committee – While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is the management's view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an utmost important entity level control over the Company's financial statement. Currently the Board of Directors acts in the capacity of the Audit


16



Committee and does not include a member that is considered to be independent of management to provide the necessary oversight over management's activities.

 

2.     We did not maintain appropriate cash controls – As of April 30, 2020 the Company has not maintained sufficient internal controls over financial reporting for the cash process, including failure to segregate cash handling and accounting functions, and did not require dual signature on the Company's bank accounts.  Alternatively, the effects of poor cash controls were mitigated by the fact that the Company had limited transactions in their bank accounts.

 

3.     We did not implement appropriate information technology controls – As of April 30, 2020 the Company retains copies of all financial data and material agreements; however there is no formal procedure or evidence of normal backup of the Company's data or off-site storage of the data in the event of theft, misplacement, or loss due to unmitigated factors.

 

Accordingly, the Company concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company's internal controls.

 

As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of April 30, 2020 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO. 

  

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation we conducted of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2020 that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Continuing Remediation Efforts to address deficiencies in Company's Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Once the Company is engaged in a business of merit and has sufficient personnel available, then our Board of Directors, in particular and in connection with the aforementioned deficiencies, will establish the following remediation measures:

 

1.  Our Board of Directors will nominate an audit committee or a financial expert on our Board of Directors in the next fiscal year.

 

2.  We will appoint additional personnel to assist with the preparation of the Company's monthly financial reporting, including preparation of the monthly bank reconciliations.

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

The Company does not have an audit committee or an audit committee financial expert (as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K) serving on its Board of Directors. All current members of the Board of Directors lack sufficient financial expertise for overseeing financial reporting responsibilities.  The Company has not yet employed an audit committee financial expert on its Board due to the inability to attract such a person.

 

The Company intends to establish an audit committee of the board of directors, which will consist of independent directors. The audit committee's duties will be to recommend to the Company's board of directors the engagement of an independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company's financial statements and to review the Company's accounting and auditing principles. The audit committee will review the scope, timing and fees for the annual audit and the results of audit examinations performed by the internal auditors and independent registered public accounting firm, including their recommendations to improve the system of accounting and internal controls. The audit committee will at all times be composed exclusively of directors who are, in the opinion of the Company's board of directors, free from any relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment as a committee member and who possess an understanding of financial statements and generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Code of Ethics

 

Our Board of Directors has not adopted a code of ethics due to the fact that we presently only have one director who also serves as the sole executive officer of the Company and the Board of Directors chose not to reduce to writing standards designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct. The Board of Directors believes that the Company's small size and the limited number of personnel who are responsible for its operations make a formal Code of Ethics unnecessary. We anticipate that we will adopt a code of ethics when we increase either the number of our directors and officers or the number of our employees.

 

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of change in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us


20



with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely upon a review of Forms 3 and 4 and amendments thereto furnished to us under Rule 16a-3(e) during the year ended April 30, 2020 and the representations made by the reporting persons to us, we believe that during the year ended April 30, 2020 our executive officers and directors and all persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements.
