We were incorporated in the state of Nevada on December 12, 2006 as Printing Components Inc. and then changed our name to Diamond Technologies Inc. and then to our current name of Kallo Inc. On December 11, 2009, we merged with Kallo Technologies Inc. (formerly known as Rophe Medical Technologies Inc.), an Ontario corporation and its shareholders (collectively "Rophe"“Rophe”) wherein we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Rophe in exchange for 3,000,000 common shares and $1,200,000.
Upon acquiring Rophe, the focus of our business was to develop medical information technology software. It has since expanded to the delivery and support of an end to endend-to-end healthcare solution for developing countries and rural communities with the focus on improving all aspects of health care delivery.
Business Overview
We are a small company with limited financial resources and we offer what we believe may be an end-to-end health care solution that is called the Kallo Integrated Delivery System (KIDS) and. Our KIDS product currently consists of the following 3three (3) components:
1. | Care Platforms |
a. | These include the care facility platforms – MobileCareTM and RuralCareTM described in more detail in the MD&A section, Dialysis care and brick and mortar hospitals as well as the emergency medical services care both land and air transportation. |
2. | Digital Technology |
a. | This component of the business includes the Electronic Medical Records (EMR), Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), eLearning system, eGovernance solutions as well as our Tele-health solution that supports the Global and Regional response centers for real time support of medical emergencies. |
3. | Education & Training |
a. | This component includes the education and training for all aspects of healthcare management – clinical including clinical informatics, engineering including bio-medical, information and communications technology and health administration. |
Each of these components are currently included in the full KIDS solution but can also be used as individual components to enhance an existing health care infrastructure.

Our Products in Development
Our product portfolio includes three earlier stage products listed below, all of which highlight the broad applicability of our proprietary technologies to a diverse range ofwhat we believe may offer us potential future products. Weproduct opportunities if market conditions allow and in that event we plan to evaluate partnership opportunities for further development and commercialization of these products.

Our target markets are Health Organizations and Ministries of Health, hospitals and Center for Disease Control (CDC) & the World Health Organization (WHO) members around the globe.

And in that context, we believe that Kallo Inc. has the rights to the products referred in this section, of which items B, C, and D (listed below) are under development and we anticipate that they will likely require further development work.

6. | KIDS (Kallo Integrated Delivery System) Global Tele-Health Ecosystems. The Tele-health Program encompasses the broad variety of Technologies and administrative processes needed to deliver virtual medical care, health promotion/prevention and other patient education to KIDS patients. Overall, we have conducted only a limited amount of internal evaluation of our technology and our planned business operations. That is, we have not engaged or secured any independent third-party evaluation of our technology, our copyright claims, and our planned business operations and even our business model. In that respect there is a clear risk that we may later discover that our limited internal management assessments are materially inaccurate and in one or more respects we have made inaccurate assumptions regarding the willingness of the marketplace to adopt, accept or utilize all of our technology and/or the business model that we have adopted. We may also discover that our copyright claims are invalid and conflict with superior claims asserted by other persons with the result we are exposed to conflicting claims with resulting liability thereby. To the extent that our assumptions and/or our business model is materially inaccurate or fails to address the needs of the healthcare marketplace, we will likely incur significant and protracted financial losses thereby. |

Target Market
Based on our current internal management assessments undertaken without the benefit of any independent third-party review or evaluation, we believe that our primary target market for the Kallo Integrated Delivery System is global with the current focus(KIDS) may be one or more selected markets in certain developing countries where health care services are limited. Welimited and where we may be able to enter into what we hope may be commercially feasible contractual arrangements without undue and unacceptable risks and challenges. To that end and in anticipation that we may be successful in these efforts, we have established several sales and marketing partnership agreements under "Business Associate"“Business Associate” section either representing Kallo independently or as an organization. WeWhile we are currently in various stages of our sales cycle with more than 10 countries.
Additionally, with the components of our KIDS solution, we are targeting markets where, if our financial resources and market conditions allow, we can providebelieve we may be able to offer complimentary services to existing health care infrastructures. These markets currently include the following:
· | Communicable & Infectious disease Information Management System – supporting World Health Organization (WHO) and Center for Disease Control (CDC); $200B market |
· | Electronic Medical Records integration engine for Health Information Access Layer – focused on clinics, hospitals, IDC & IHC; $100B market |
· | Clinical Care Globalization – focused on medical tourism; $40B market |
· | Mobile Medical Clinics – focused on disaster recovery management and rural community health services for wide range of services, HIV monitoring, chemotherapy, acute care, dialysis, etc; $30B market. However, we are acutely aware that market conditions are ever-changing and we can not assure you that we can undertake these efforts, or if we do, that we can do so without incurring significant and protracted losses and negative cash flow. |
Intellectual Property and Research and Development
If market conditions and our financial resources allow, we anticipate that we likely will continue our efforts in research and development through collaborations with medical faculties in Canada and the United States on an ongoing basis where our company stands to benefit from the technology ownership of the treatment or diagnostic systems developed for commercial use.
Since 2016, we decreased our expenses relating to research and development but plan towe anticipate that we will, if market conditions and our financial resources allow, continue our research and development work on the Mobile Clinic and Telehealth system, which we believeanticipate will may1 be in demand in the future.
Competition
We are a small company with limited financial resources. We compete with many larger, well-established entities in various sectors; mobile clinic and temporary medical facility manufacturers, health care equipment resellers, EMR developers, health care education providers, EMS contracted services, etc. Our competitors tend to be focused on a component of our health care solution, but do have established histories in their particular area of expertise affording them a resource advantage. We are effectively in the start-up phase of operations and as a result, we have little or no impact upon our competition. Our differentiating factor however isWe believe that, if market conditions and our financial resources allow, we may be able to offer a fully integrated solution. In the opportunities that we have been engaged in, we have not encountered a competitor that offers the full end to end solution that we are proposing to our customers.

Management’s View of the Market Trend
We are a small company with limited financial resources. We compete with many larger, well-established entities in various sectors; mobile clinic and temporary medical facility manufacturers, health care equipment resellers, EMR developers, health care education providers, EMS contracted services, etc. Our management believescompetitors tend to be focused on a component of our health care solution, but do have established histories in their particular area of expertise affording them a resource advantage. We are effectively in the start-up phase of operations and as a result, we have little or no impact upon our competition. We believe that, if market conditions and our financial resources allow, we may be able to offer a fully integrated solution. In the opportunities that we have been engaged in, we have not encountered a competitor that offers the full end to end solution that we are well positionedproposing to assist in the global focus on improving health care delivery through our solution platforms. Global spending on health care in 2013 totaled $7.2 trillion or 10.6% of global gross domestic product. Health spending is expected to rise an average of 5.2% a year in 2014 – 2018 to $9.3 trillion. A number of the driving factors of the increase, emerging market expansion, infrastructure improvements and treatment and technology advances, fall into our portfolio of products and services. customers.
Other factors include the health needs of an aging and growing population as well as the rising prevalence of chronic diseases. The most rapid growth is expected to be in the Middle East and Africa due, in part, to population growth and efforts to expand access to care. All figures shown above are quoted from "World“World Industry Outlook: Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals, The Economist Intelligence Unit, May 2104"2104”.
In addition, of the eight Millennium Development Goals detailed by the United Nations, three of the initiatives are related to improvements in healthcare delivery. They include Goal 4: Reduce Child Mortality, Goal 5: Improve Maternal Health, and Goal 6: Combat HIV/Aids, Malaria and Other Diseases. These remain focus areas for global improvement.
The challenges that we have seen in the market are primarily due to the lengthy sales cycle involved in the healthcare sector. Kallo hasWe have developed a detailed sales process which allows us to fully understand the customer needs prior to quoting a solution. OnceIf we are selected for the project, we intend to work through the formal approval process of multiple government ministries. This process of coordination of approvals, financing complexities and the possibility of electoral and cabinet changes creates significant forecasting challenges.
Government Regulation and Compliance
The healthcare regulations and standards vary widely in the geographic areas that we are focused in, with the primary concerns around patient health, safety, and privacy. With rapid advances in clinical and technology changes, the increased scrutiny by governments, the media and consumers has created continual monitoring and increased regulation on drug and patient safety specifically.
Within the global market that we serve, North America has some of the most stringent regulations and standards for medical technology and pharmaceutical approvals. As such, we have partnered with a number of major biomedical suppliers to ensure the highest standards of equipment. WeIf we are successful, we intend to utilize only the highest standards of product regardless of the market that we are serving.

Our Common Stock is subject to a number of substantial risks, including those described below. No attempt has been made to rank these risks in the order of their likelihood or potential harm. In addition to those general risks enumerated elsewhere in the document, any purchaser of the Company’s common stock should also consider the following risk factors:
Risks Related to the Ownership of the Company’s Stock
1. No Revenues from Operations & Continuing Losses; Risk of Loss & Insolvency. During the past two fiscal years we have not generated and revenues and there can be no assurances that we will be successful in generating revenues in the future. In that respect we face all of the risks inherent in an early-stage business. We have incurred losses and there can be no assurance that we will ever achieve profitability and positive cash flow. While we believe that our business strategies are sound, there can be no assurance that our business will generate profits and positive cash flow or if we generate profits and positive cash flow, that it can be sustained. Investors should be aware that they may lose all or substantially all of their investment. We are also insolvent since our Total Liabilities exceed our Total Assets.
2. Limited Corporate Officers & Employees. We have only three corporate officers, one of which is part-time and an aggregate of four employees, including our three officers.
3. Auditor's Opinion: Going Concern & Insolvency. Our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a smaller reportinggoing concern since: (a) our Total Current Liabilities exceed our Total Current Assets; (b) our Total Liabilities exceed our Total Assets; and (c) we are an early-stage company and there exists only a limited history of operations. Since our Total Liabilities exceed our Total Assets, we are insolvent and anyone who acquires our Common Stock should be prepared to lose their entire investment.
-6-
4. Limited Financial Resources; Need for Additional Financing. Our financial resources are minimal and we are insolvent. We need to obtain additional financing from the sale of our Common Stock, Debt, or some combination thereof in order to undertake further business plans. Our ability to operate as defineda going concern is contingent upon our receipt of additional financing through private placements or by loans. We anticipate that we will require significant additional funds in the future if we are successful in marketing our products and services. There can be no assurance that if additional funds are required they will be available, or, if available, that they can be obtained on terms satisfactory to our Board of Directors. In the event the Company elects to issue stock to raise additional capital, any rights or privileges attached to such stock may either (i) dilute the percentage of ownership of the already issued common shares or (ii) dilute the value of such shares; or (iii) both. No rights or privileges have been assigned to the stock and any such rights and privileges will be at the total discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company. There can be no guarantee that we will be able to obtain additional financing, or if we are successful, that we will be able to do so on terms that are reasonable in light of current market conditions. Further, we have not received any commitment from any person to provide any additional financing and we cannot assure that any such commitment is forthcoming.
5. Limited and Sporadic Trading Market for Common Stock. Our Common Stock trades on the OTC Market on a limited and sporadic basis and there can be no assurance that a liquid trading market for our Common Stock will develop and, if it does develop, that it can be sustained.
6. Lack of Revenues and Development Stage Company. We face all of the risks inherent in a new business. There is no information at this time upon which to base an assumption that our plans will either materialize or prove successful. Our present business plans and strategies have been developed by our corporate officers and they have been evaluated by any independent third party. plans have not been determined. There can be no assurance that any of our business plans and strategies will generate sales revenues that will result in any profits or positive cash flow. Investors should be aware that they may lose all or substantially all of their investment.
7. Lack of Dividends & No Likelihood of Dividends. We have not paid dividends and do not contemplate paying dividends in the foreseeable future.
8. Competition. We are an insignificant participant among firms which offer health care products and services. There are many well-established health care product and service companies which have significantly greater financial and managerial resources, technical expertise and experience than the Company. In view of our limited financial and managerial resources, we will likely be at a significant competitive disadvantage vis-a-vis our competitors.
9. No Ability to Control. Any person who acquires our Common Stock will have no real ability to influence or control the Company or otherwise have any ability to elect any person to our Board of Directors. Our officers, directors, and certain other persons currently control the Company and there is no likelihood that any person who acquires our Common Stock will have any real ability to influence or control the Company in any meaningful way.
10. Negative Equity. Our Total Liabilities exceed our Total Assets. As a result, we are insolvent and we cannot assure you that we will be able to become solvent at any time in the future.
11. Possible Rule 144 Stock Sales. Many of our shares of our outstanding Common Stock are "restricted securities" and may be sold only in compliance with Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or other applicable exemptions from registration. Any person who acquires our common stock in any private placement should carefully review Rule 144 since any potential public resale may be limited and current broker-dealer and clearing firm requirements may make any re-sale of our common stock difficult at best.
12. Absence of Underwriter Commitment. Based on our current plans, we anticipate that we will likely need to raise significant additional capital to meet our current and anticipated financial needs, we have not received any commitment from any registered broker-dealer or underwriter to assist us in raising needed capital. As a result, we face a clear risk that we will not have sufficient cash resources to meet our current financial obligations and otherwise implement our business plans. In that event, we may not be able to implement our plans and we will not be able to achieve profitability and positive cash flow or, if we do, that we can sustain either or both of them for any period of time.
-7-
13. Risks of Low-Priced Stocks. Currently, our common stock is not trading in any market and there is no certain prospect that the Company’s common stock will regain any trading in any organized market. In the past, the Company’s common stock had only limited and sporadic trading in the so-called "pink sheets," and before that, on the "Electronic Bulletin Board." As a result and due to the absence of a market, a shareholder may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of, the Company's securities. In the absence of a security being quoted on NASDAQ, or the Company having $2,000,000 in net tangible assets, trading in the Common Stock is covered by Rule 12b-23a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for non-NASDAQ and non-exchange listed securities. Under such rule, broker/dealers who recommend such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse) must make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to a transaction prior to sale.
In general, securities are also exempt from this rule if the market price is at least $5.00 per share, or for warrants, if the warrants have an exercise price of at least $5.00 per share. The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires additional disclosure related to the market for penny stocks and for trades in any stock defined as a penny stock. The Commission has recently adopted regulations under such Act which define a penny stock to be any NASDAQ or non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price or exercise price of less than $5.00 per share and allow for the enforcement against violators of the Exchange Actproposed rules.
In addition, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission explaining important concepts involving the penny stock market, the nature of such market, terms used in such market, the broker/dealer's duties to the customer, a toll-free telephone number for inquiries about the broker/dealer's disciplinary history, and the customer's rights and remedies in case of fraud or abuse in the sale.
Disclosure also must be made about commissions payable to both the broker/dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities, and if the broker/dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker/dealer must disclose this fact and its control over the market.
Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. While many NASDAQ stocks are covered by the proposed definition of penny stock, transactions in NASDAQ stock are exempt from all but the sole market-maker provision for (i) issuers who have $2,000,000 in tangible assets ($5,000,000 if the issuer has not been in continuous operation for three years), (ii) transactions in which the customer is an institutional accredited investor and (iii) transactions that are not requiredrecommended by the broker/dealer. In addition, transactions in a NASDAQ security directly with the NASDAQ market-maker for such securities, are subject only to provide the information under this item.sole market-maker disclosure, and the disclosure with regard to commissions to be paid to the broker/dealer and the registered representatives.
Finally, all NASDAQ securities are exempt if NASDAQ raised its requirements for continued listing so that any issuer with less than $2,000,000 in net tangible assets or stockholder's equity would be subject to delisting. These criteria are more stringent than the proposed increased in NASDAQ's maintenance requirements.
Our securities are subject to the above rules on penny stocks and the market liquidity for our securities could be severely affected by limiting the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities.

ITEM 6. | SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA. |
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
ITEM 7. |
Our management believes that, if market conditions and our financial resources allow, we may be well-positioned to assist in the global focus on improving health care delivery through our solution platforms. Global spending on health care in 2013 totaled $7.2 trillion or 10.6% of the report includesglobal gross domestic product. Health spending is expected to increase an average of 5.2% a year in 2014 – 2018 to $9.3 trillion. A number of forward-looking statementsthese factors drive the increase that includes emerging market expansion, infrastructure improvements and treatment and technology advances. Overall, we believe that if these market trends and our financial resources allow, may offer us opportunities to provide our products and services. Our assessments and our plans are based solely upon the determinations made by our internal management without the benefit of any independent third party review or evaluation. In that respect there is a clear risk that our plans do not accurately reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You shoulddo not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. These forward-looking statements are subject to certainaccurately incorporate market trends, inherent risks and uncertaintiesother known and unknown factors that could cause actual results to differresult in protracted and significant losses and further negative cash flow with the result that our financial condition could materially from historical results or our predictions. All funds are reflected in United States dollars unless otherwise indicated.
There is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have generated no revenues from our operations during the last eight years. We have been able to remain in business as a result of investments, in debt or equity securities, by our officers and directors and by other unrelated parties. We expect to incur operating losses in the foreseeable future and our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional money through investments by others and achieve profitable operations. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise additional money or that additional money or that additional financing will be available to us on satisfactory terms or that we will be able to achieve profitable operations. The consolidated statements were prepared under the assumption that the Companywe will continue as a going concern, however, there can be no assurance that such financial support shall be ongoing or available on terms or conditions acceptable to the Company. This raises substantial doubt about the Company'sour ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

For the last sixeight fiscal years, starting January 2010, our management and board of directors have raised funds through a personal and professional network of investors. This has enabled product and business development, continued operations, and generation of customer interest. In order to continue operations, management has contemplated several options to raise capital and sustain operations in the next 12 months. These options include, but are not limited to, debt and equity offers to existing shareholders, debt and equity offers to independent investment professionals and through various other financing alternatives. Management's opinion isWe currently believe that the combination of the three options along with the forecasted closing ofif we can secure sufficient additional capital on reasonable terms and on a timely basis and if we are successful in securing at least one project that likely will enable continuedus to continue operations for the next 12 months. There iscan be no assuranceguarantee that we will receive sufficient additional moneycapital on a timely basis in sufficient amounts and on reasonable terms that will allow is to continue to remain in business. Currently we have not received any commitment from these options and our existing shareholders are under no legal dutyany third party to provide the additional capital that we believe we will require to sustain our company as a corporate entity or otherwise allow us with additional financing nor haveto meet our shareholders committed to provide us with additional financing.
On April 8, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with FE Pharmacy Inc. whereby in consideration for the issuance of 475,000,000 post reverse stockpost-reverse split shares of our common stock, of Kallo, FE Pharmacy Inc. assumed and will assume and pay all of the Company'sCompany’s outstanding indebtedness as at April 7, 2017. Management believes that with this agreement in place, it can concentrate on bringing the potential projects as detailed below to fruition
In 2017 the signingGovernment of a US$200,000,925 (Two Hundred million nine hundred and twenty-five US dollars) Supply ContractGhana initiated several discussions withus, to revisit how the Ministry of Defense – Military Hospital requirements, the Ministry of Health healthcare infrastructure requirements and Public Hygienethe Ministry of Education Teaching Hospital infrastructure requirements can be met using the Republic Of Guinea. On April 14, 2015, the MinisterKallo Integrated Delivery Model. The success of Health and Public Hygiene, in a letterthese discussions confirmed the selection of Kallo Inc., as supplier pursuant to the MobilCareTM Supply Contract, to design and build specialized hospitalsGhana’s continued belief in the regionsKallo Integrated Delivery System, as the best solution for the nation’s healthcare infrastructure development, which is very encouraging for our continued business in Ghana.
On June 20, 2017, our branch office was legally registered in Ghana. A valid tax identification number was issued and this number is to be used by us in all of Conakry, Kindia, Labe, Kankanour anticipated business that we hope to conduct within Ghana. We have incorporated four SPVs (Special Purpose Vehicles / Companies) to oversee the various projects we seek to undertake in Ghana. The SPVs are all incorporated under the laws of Ghana as private companies. Based on our internal management assessments conducted without the benefit of any independent third-party review or evaluation, we believe that our business plans involving Ghana are sound and Nzerekore,may offer us significant business opportunities. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain sufficient financing on reasonable terms and asked Kalloon a timely basis that will allow us to mobilize its technical teams for site visits to engagepursue these opportunities.

We have entered into four major concession agreements with four key governmental institutions in preliminary studiesGhana. We have also through our SPVs has entered into the following concession arrangements for the construction and operation of these hospitals. No equipmentvarious hospital facilities in Ghana:

The financing has been sold under the terms of this supply contract, nornot closed yet and there is there any assurance any equipmentno guarantee that financial close will be sold thereunder.
Plan of Operation
The following plan of operation contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth elsewhere in this document. Because of the speculative nature of our operations and the nature of the African countries we are attempting to do business with, there is no assurance that any of the planned operations will occur.
To the extent that we are financially able and if market conditions are favorable, we plan to continue to develop components of Kallo Integrated Delivery System:
Kallo Integrated Delivery System (KIDS)
· | MobileCareTM – a mobile trailer that opens into a state of the art clinical setup in a vehicle equipped with the latest technology in healthcare. More than just a facility, MobileCare TM can instantly connect the onboard physician with specialists for on-demand consultation via satellite through its Telehealth system. This is truly a holistic approach to delivering healthcare to the remotely located. For many rural communities, the nearest hospital, doctor or nurse may be hundreds of kilometers away. In many cases, this gap can be bridged using Telehealth technology that allows patients, nurses and doctors to talk as if they were in the same room. |
· | RuralCareTM – prefabricated modular healthcare units focused in rural areas where no roads infrastructure is available. They are equipped to provide primary healthcare including X-Ray, ultrasound, surgery, pharmacy and lab services. Ranging from 1,200 to 3,800 square feet, these clinics can be up and running in disaster zones or rural areas in as little as one week. Similar to the MobileCare TM product, RuralCare TM also utilizes satellite communications to access the Telehealth system. |
-13-
Our overall healthcare mission is to "reach the unreached". TheBased on our own internal assessments conducted by our officers and without the benefit of any independent third party evaluation, we believe that may be able to offer end-to-end solution includesthat may include the following:
· | Global response center – located in the Kallo headquarters in Canada, this is the escalation point for the coordination of delivery of Telehealth and eHealth support. It consists of both the Clinical Command Center and the Administrative Command Center |
· | Regional response centers, Clinical and Administrative Command centers – located in the urban area hospitals and connected with satellite communications, these centers coordinate all aspects of the healthcare delivery solution with the Mobile clinics and Rural clinics including clinical services, Telehealth services, pharmacy and medical consumable coordination as well as escalations to the Global response center |
· | Kallo University – provides education, training and development of local resources for all aspects of the healthcare delivery which includes clinical, engineering and administration |
· | Emergency Medical Services – provides ground and air ambulance vehicles for emergency patient transport |
Based solely on our internal management assessments conducted without the Kallo headquarters in Canada, this is the escalation point for the coordinationbenefit of delivery of Telehealth and eHealth support. It consists of both the Clinical Command Center and the Administrative Command Center
Sales Go-To-Market Strategy
Our Sales Go-To-Market Strategy is segmented and we believe that, based on our own limited internal management review conducted without the benefit of any independent third party review or evaluation, it is based on the varying needs of our customers in the following three categories:
Full solution
with Kallo Integrated Delivery System (KIDS) – typically longer sales cycle and includes the end to end solution of Mobile Clinics, Rural Poly Clinics, Global and Regional response centers, Clinical and Administrative command centers, telehealth support, Kallo University training, pharmacy and medical consumable support and Emergency services with ground and air ambulance vehicles. This solution is focused on the end to end healthcare needs of developing countries.Component Solutions
– typically mid-term sales cycle and includes any of the components of the KIDS implementation without the full support structure. This strategy is focused on augmenting healthcare support where needed, such as, disaster management, North American First Nations, medical equipment supply, installation and testing.Technology Solutions
– typically short-term sales cycle and includes elements of the KIDS program that can enhance existing healthcare solutions. These would include our Hospital Management System, Consulting services, Bio Medical support, Mobile or Fixed Clinic manufacturing, etc. This strategy is focused on enhancing existing healthcare environmentsWe face a certain risk that our strategies and plans will not be favorably received by the market and in that event we may incur significant and protracted losses thereby that may significantly and adversely impact our financial condition thereby.
-14-
Over the next twelve to eighteen months and if market conditions are favorable and if we have sufficient financial resources, we are hopeful that we may be able to pursue the following objectives:
1. | We intend to follow-up completion of the financing process with financiers and the respective governments. |
2. | We intend to pursue working capital raise with financial institutions and private placements. |
3. | We intend to complete our organization restructuring and continue to build our infrastructure and resources for operations and management. |
There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising the additional capital needed to implement any one or more of the above business objectives. And in the event that we are successful in raising additional capital, there can be no assurance that any capital that is raised will be on reasonable terms, in sufficient amounts and received by us on a timely basis. We have had some preliminary discussions with potential sources who may provide us with additional capital but we are not able to give any assurances that we will obtain the necessary additional capital in sufficient amounts, on reasonable terms and on a timely basis that will allow us to achieve any one or more of these objectives. Any person who acquires our Common Stock should be prepared to lose their entire investment.
Need for additional capital
We have incurred significant and protracted operating losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit at December 31, 2018. We expect to incur additional losses as it executes its go to market strategy. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a business enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible cost overruns due to price increases in services and products.
To become profitable and competitive, we anticipate that we will have to sell our products and services.
There is no guaranty that we will obtain sufficient additional financing on acceptablea timely basis and on reasonable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop, or expand our operations. EquityAny equity financing couldwill likely result in additionalimmediate and substantial dilution toof existing shareholders.

However, we can assure you that we will be successful in any of these matters or, if we achieve any success, that it will allow to achieve and sustain positive cash flow and profitability.

(Amounts expressed in US dollars)
NOTE 1 - BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN
Organization
Kallo Inc. ("Kallo"(“Kallo” or the "Company"“Company”) develops customized health care solutions designed to improve or enhance the delivery of care in the countries and regions we serve.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements do not purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The Company has incurred operating losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit at December 31, 2016.2018. The Company is expected to incur additional losses as it executes its go to market strategy. This raises substantial doubt about the Company'sCompany’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company has met its historical working capital requirements from the sale of common shares and related party loans. In order to not burden the Company, certain officers/stockholders have agreed to provide funding to the Company to pay its annual audit fees, filing costs and legal fees as long as the board of directors deems it necessary. However, there can be no assurance that such financial support shall be ongoing or available on terms or conditions acceptable to the Company. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OPERATIONS
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"(“GAAP”) and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-K related to smaller reporting companies as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kallo and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Rophe Medical Technologies Inc. Significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.
Cash
Cash includes cash on hand and highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at acquisition.

(Amounts expressed in US dollars)
NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OPERATIONS (continued)
Earnings Per Share
The Company computes basic net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in earnings of an entity. In a loss year, dilutive common equivalent shares are excluded from the loss per share calculation as the effect would be anti-dilutive. For the years ended December 31, 20162018 and 2015,2017, basic and diluted losses per share are the same for both years.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Key estimates include the fair value of common stock issued for services received by the Company, valuation of financial instruments, useful life of equipment, impairment of long lived assets, measurement of non-monetary transactions and provision for penalties and interest on estimated payroll tax liabilities.
Software Development Costs
Software development costs are accounted for in accordance with ASC 985-20, Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed. Software development costs incurred internally in creating computer software products are expensed until technological feasibility has been established upon completion of a detailed program design. Based on the Company'sCompany’s product development process, technological feasibility is established upon completion of a working model. The determination of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of these costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors including anticipated future gross product revenues, estimated economic life and changes in hardware and software technology.
Thereafter, all software development costs incurred through the software'ssoftware’s general release date are capitalized and subsequently reported at the lower of amortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalized costs are amortized based on current and expected future revenue for each software solution with minimum annual amortization equal to the straight-line amortization over the estimated economic life of the solution. No costs have been capitalized to date as the Company has not completed a working model as of yet.
Related party transactions
FASB ASC 850, "Related Party Disclosures" requires companies to include in their financial statements disclosures of material related party transactions. The Company discloses all material related party transactions. Related parties are defined to include any principal owner, director or executive officer of the Company and any immediate family members of a principal owner, director or executive officer.

Notes to evaluate a long-lived asset for recoverability when there is an event or circumstance that indicates the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company follows the guidance of ASU 2012-02 and first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable (when carrying amount exceeds the gross, undiscounted cash flows from use and disposition) and is measured as the excess of the carrying amount over the asset's (or asset group's) fair value. Management evaluated whether there are any adverse qualitative factors in respect to equipment indicating that they might be impaired. Since there were indicators of impairment, Management reviewed its long-lived intangible assets and has determined that the Clinical Command Center and Infrastructure fixed assets were impaired on Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 20152018 and all other equipment on December 31, 2016.
(Amounts expressed in US dollars)
NOTE 2 – ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OPERATIONS (continued)
Research and Development
The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with ASC 730-10, Research and Development. Accordingly, all research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred as software development costs.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company'sCompany’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Transaction may occur in Canadian dollars which are accounted for under ASC 830,Foreign Currency Matters. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Average monthly rates are used to translate revenues and expenses. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the Statements of Operations. The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. 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 the statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized.
The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which a change in judgement occurs, as a result of information that arises or when a tax position is effectively settled. Interest and penalties related to income tax matters are recognized in general and administrative expense.
In accordance with the statute of limitations for federal tax returns, the Company's federal tax returns for the years 2011 through 20152018 are subject to examination.

NOTE 2 – ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OPERATIONS (continued)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company used a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in valuation techniques for determining fair value of investments and liabilities. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1
– Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the company has the ability to access at the measurement date (examples include active exchange-traded equity securities, listed derivatives and most United States Government and agency securities).Level 2
– Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets where trading occurs infrequently or whose values are based on quoted prices of instruments with similar attributes in active markets. Level 2 inputs include the following:• | Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets (examples include corporate and municipal bonds which trade infrequently); | |
• | Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (examples include interest rate and currency swaps); and | |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Adopted
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. ASU 2017-09 clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. ASU 2017-09 was applied prospectively to awards modified on or after the adoption date of January 1, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU related to the accounting for leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use ("ROU"(“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. This pronouncement is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that the new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvement to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative to maintain or improve the usefulness of the information provided to the users of financial statements while reducing cost and complexity in financial reporting. This update provides consistency in the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees with that of employees. The Company has adopted ASU 2018-07 in the first quarter of 2019. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

The companyCompany analyzed the conversion option for derivative accounting consideration under ASC Topic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging – Contract in Entity's Own Stock and concluded that the conversion option does not meet the criteria for classification in stockholders' equity. Therefore, derivative accounting is applicable for the conversion option. Under the terms of conversion of the convertible promissory notes,
During the year ended December 31, 2015, at the commitment dates, the initial fair values of the embedded conversion feature for the new convertible promissory notes were estimated at $1,034,346 and recorded as derivative liabilities, resulting in a Day 1 loss of $426,836. During the year, there were conversions and mark to market adjustments as summarized in the table below. The original issue discount for the new convertible promissory notes was $53,536 and $607,510 was allocated to the embedded derivative liabilities. The debt discounts are amortized over the terms of the respective Notes. The fair value of the embedded conversion feature is estimated at the end of each quarterly reporting period using the Multinomial lattice model, which uses a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. The Model requires assumptions related to the interest rate, stock price and conversion price that would be in effect in different scenarios, for which cash flow projections and probabilities are made. A discounted weighted average cash flow over the various scenarios was completed, and compared to the discounted cash flow of the note without the embedded features, to arrive at the derivative liability.
The key assumptions for the valuation of the derivative liability areduring the year were as follows:

MaloneBailey has served as our principal independent accountant for the prior fiscal years since 2014.

We are able to report that during the years ended December 31, 2015, December 31, 2016 and December 2017 through May 7, 2019 there were no disagreements with MaloneBailey, our former principal independent accountant, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to MaloneBailey's satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its reports on our consolidated financial statements for such periods. During the period of engagement there were no reportable events as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K except MaloneBailey having advised us that it identified certain deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that constitute material weaknesses as described in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain "disclosure“disclosure controls and procedures,"” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"“Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission 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.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a -15(f). The Company'sCompany’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 generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of the inherent limitations due to, for example, the potential for human error or circumvention of controls, 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 policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework inInternal Control – Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company'sCompany’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2016.2018. Material weakness identified included:
* | Lack of segregation of duties |
* | Insufficient controls over the financial close process and preparation of the financial statements identified by the auditors during the audit of the company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. |
We will begin to take steps to remedy the foregoing material weaknesses, including hiring a VP of Finance to oversee the accounting and financial reporting process, after the Company is up to date on all its filings.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 20162018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
