General Overview
We were incorporated as a Delaware Company on June 4, 2001 under the name Sound Revolution Inc. On July 2, 2009 we changed our name to On4 Communications, Inc. Our address is 1704-1188 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6E 0A2. Our telephone number is (604) 620-6879. We have not entered into any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding.
Our common stock is quoted on the Pink Sheets Quotation system under the symbol “ONCI.PK” and on the Berlin Stock Exchange under the symbol O4C:GR.
On June 10, 2008, our company effected a 1 for 42 reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of common stock our company and also increased the number of authorized share capital of our company from 100,000,000 to 110,000,000 shares. 100,000,000 shares out the total authorized capital shall be common stock and 10,000,000 shall be preferred stock. On June 26, 2008, the reverse stock split and the increase in our company’s authorized capital came into effect. As a result of the reverse split, the number of the outstanding shares of common stock of our company was decreased from 10,854,629 shares to 258,444 shares of common stock.
On March 13, 2012, we received written consent from the board of directors and the holders of 52.40% of our company’s voting securities to amend the Articles of Incorporation to increase our authorized capital.
On April 19, 2012, the Delaware Secretary of State accepted for filing of a Certificate of Amendment, wherein, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of our common stock from 100,000,000 to 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.0001 per share, effective April 20, 2012.

Corporate History
On March 12, 2009, we entered into a merger agreement with On4 Communications, Inc., a private Arizona company incorporated on June 5, 2006 (“On4”). We subsequently amended this agreement on April 7, 2009, and on May 1, 2009 we completed the merger with On4, with us as the surviving entity. Upon the completion of the merger, we had three wholly-owned subsidiaries: (i) Charity Tunes Inc., a Delaware company incorporated on June 27, 2005 for the purpose of operating a website for the distribution of music online; (ii) Sound Revolution Recordings Inc., a British Columbia, Canada company incorporated on June 20, 2001 for the purpose of carrying on music marketing services in British Columbia; and (iii) PetsMobility Inc., a Delaware company incorporated on March 23, 2006 for the purpose of operating the website www.petsmo.com and related business.
On April 29, 2010, we sold our interest in PetsMobility, excluding certain specific assets, to On4 Communications Inc., a private Canadian company and our shareholder (“On4 Canada”) pursuant to an asset purchase agreement in exchange for On4 Canada returning 2,000,000 shares of our common stock to our treasury for cancellation. On October 29, 2010 we amended the asset purchase agreement to clarify certain terms of the purchase and sale.
On March 16, 2011, we sold our interest in Charity Tunes and Sound Revolution to Empire Success, LLC, a private Nevada limited liability company, in exchange for $15,000 and 6,300 shares of Empire’s common stock. As a result, we currently have no subsidiaries.
On November 3, 2011, we entered into a binding letter of intent (“LOI”) to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of NetCents Systems Ltd. (“NetCents”), a private Alberta corporation engaged in the development and implementation of a unique and secure electronic payment system for online merchants and consumers. The LOI provides for a period of due diligence which will lead to a formal agreement whereby we will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding capital of NetCents. Clayton Moore, an officer and director of our Company, and Ryan Madson, an officer of our Company, are shareholders of NetCents and Mr. Moore is the president and director of Net Cents.
On November 4, 2011, Clayton Moore was appointed as a director, president and chief executive officer of our Company, Steven Allmen was appointed a director, Ryan Madson was appointed chief operating officer, Tom Locke was appointed as a director, chief financial officer, secretary and treasurer, and John Kaczmarowski was appointed chief technical officer. Effective July 23, 2012, Tom Locke resigned as chief financial officer, secretary, treasurer and as a director of our Company. His resignation was not the result of any disagreements with our Company regarding its operations, policies, practices or otherwise.
On December 15, 2011, we entered into a share exchange agreement with NetCents and the selling shareholders of NetCents (“Share Exchange Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, our Company and NetCents agreed to engage in a share exchange which, if completed, would result in NetCents becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of our Company. The share exchange has not been completed as of the date of this Annual Report and is subject to completion of due diligence by the parties, and to the following material terms and conditions:
| 1. | We will issue 2 shares of our common stock from treasury for every 1 share of NetCents stock issued and outstanding on the date of closing; |
| 2. | NetCents will have no more than 16,245,421 shares of its common stock issued and outstanding on the closing date of the Share Exchange Agreement. Additional issuances must be authorized by our company; |
| 3. | NetCents will have delivered to our company audited financial statements for its last two fiscal years and any applicable interim period ended no more than 35 days before the closing of the share exchange agreement, prepared in accordance with United States GAAP and audited by an independent auditor registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in the United States; and |
| 4. | NetCents will file all required documentation with the Province of Alberta to effect the share exchange. |
Also on December 15, 2011, NetCents received the approval for the share exchange agreement and the share exchange transaction from holders of approximately 76% of its voting securities through written resolution in lieu of holding a meeting. However, as reported above, as of the date of this annnual report, the share exchange has yet to be completed.
Our Current Business
We are a development stage company, and currently focus on providing wireless communications services to telecommunication companies, consumers and businesses. Our platform comprises global positioning system (“GPS”) device management, location-based services (“LBS”) capabilities, and the broadcasting of proprietary and non-proprietary content. LBS is a term used to describe the delivery of information and entertainment content to consumers with mobile devices based on the geographical position of the mobile device. We intend to deliver LBS via two-way communication tracking devices with applications that are able to track people, pets, assets and inventory. Our solution platform integrates various location-aware devises, such as GPS receivers, and transmits data to a range of devices, including Web browsers, instant messengers, short message service/mail, and mobile phones. However, we anticipate that our business focus will change upon completion of the share exchange with NetCents contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement.
Our Business Upon Consummation of the Share Exchange
Upon the consummation of the acquisition of NetCents contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, we anticipate that our business will be that of an enhanced electronic Payment Service Provider (or “PSP”) that offers new, unique features to benefit both merchants and consumers for a better way to buy and sell online. It is anticipated that the Company will be able to provide a seamless, transparent enabling technology adopted by financial institutions to allow their clientele the option of conducting financial transactions on the web in a secure fashion without the use of credit card information. Triggered by a valid email address, the Company will be able to deliver a 100% secure, self-administered and anonymous payment system for the purpose of making safe online purchases and transferring of funds. The Company will be able to enable a simple yet innovative, swift, two-way flow of funds when paying for goods and services over the Internet. The Company will be able to provide the merchant with the means to connect with all consumers whether or not they hold direct access to a credit card. It also allows new entrants under the age of 18 to shop online. This payment option for the consumers and merchants will provide peace-of-mind with no fear of identity theft or credit card fraud.
The Company intends to brand and grow its services quickly by developing the NetCents payment system, which will:
| · | Provide peace-of-mind with no fear of identity theft and/or credit card fraud |
| · | Cater to those who wish to protect personal information |
| · | Offer a way to buy/sell without a credit card due to poor credit ratings and with no risk to the merchant |
| · | Offer new entrants under the age of 18 a way to shop online even without access to credit cards |
| · | Open access to online shopping without attached privacy and security concerns |
How the NetCents System Works
Note: Once the registration in Steps 1 through 3 is complete, the NetCents User will begin at Step 4 or 5 for all future transactions.
The Market
In 2009, there were over 1.7 billion online Internet users worldwide. The growth of the Internet has far exceeded the growth of any other communications medium in the 20th century. In just under 4 years, the Internet reached penetration rates that took television 13 years to reach and radio over 30 years to reach. For the five-year period from 2009 to 2014, it is estimated that revenues generated by the US online payment market will increase to approximately $248.7 billion, representing a compound annual growth rate of approximately 15%.
The global payment service market has experienced exponential growth. The development of the global online payment market to date has been led by companies in the United States with the global market estimate for generated revenue at approximately $670 billion for 2009. NetCents is well positioned to capture a portion of this global market via its “Secure Payment Service.”
Marketing
The Company’s objectives will be:
| · | To initiate an advertising and promotion strategy to garner awareness and trust of consumers and merchants |
| · | To develop an advertising and promotion strategy consistent with the Company’s vision of being a world leader in providing merchants and consumers a better and secure way to buy and sell online |
| · | To develop marketing materials to be used by the Company in its corporate and public endeavors |
Associations
NetCents has completed integration with the The Royal Bank of Canada. NetCents is currently integrating software with contracted merchants including Swimco, The Alberta Diamond Exchange, Global Storm IT Corporation and the Western Arctic Conservative Association and is also under contract and integrating with the following major charities: the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation, The Canadian Cancer Society, Mental Health, Canadian National Institute for the Blind, the Sick Kids Foundation, the Heart & Stoke Foundation, Southern Alberta Brain Injuries, The Mustard Seed, Habitat for Humanity and Special Olympics Calgary. Together they account for hundreds of thousands of active customers and donors that would be integrated with the NetCents Payment System for payment and donations.
Competition
Seventy-four percent of online shoppers who have seen or heard of alternative online payment services report having used methods such as:
PayPal laid the groundwork by familiarizing many online consumers, primarily eBay buyers and sellers, with alternative payment methods. Other payment providers soon followed.
NetCents, by providing an alternative that does not involve credit cards, appeals to both consumers and merchants who are concerned with online identity theft. NetCents is also attractive to new customers who are non-credit cardholders.
Competitive Advantages
Key Competitive Advantages of the NetCents System include:
| o | Payment solutions that do not require disclosure of any personal or financial information |
| o | Fast, efficient and viable method of completing online transactions |
| o | Access to a new market segment of online shoppers |
| o | Guaranteed payments to merchants |

As of October 31, 2013, we had $Nil in cash, $121,868 in total assets, $1,977,748 in total liabilities and a working capital deficit of $1,856,658. As of October 31, 2012, we had working capital deficit of $1,738,670.
During the year ended October 31, 2013, we spent $103,454 on operating activities, compared to spending of $119,790 on operating activities during the same period in fiscal 2012. The decrease in our expenditures on operating activities during the year ended October 31, 2013 was largely due to decreases in stock based compensation and amounts due to related parties. From our inception on June 5, 2006 to October 31, 2013, we spent $2,899,578 on operating activities.
During the year ended October 31, 2013, we spent $42,888 on investing activities, whereas we spent $78,202 on investing activities during the same period in fiscal 2012. From our inception on June 5, 2006 to October 31, 2013, we spent $1,434,289 on investing activities, the bulk of which was in the form of advances for notes receivable of $1,114,182, loan receivables of $121,090 and the acquisition of intangible assets of $182,687.
During the year ended October 31, 2013, we received $147,022 from financing activities, of which $152,500 was in the form of proceeds from notes payable offset by $6,500 in payment of deferred financing costs, whereas we received $198,500 from financing activities during the same period in fiscal 2012 related primarily to proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes payable. From our inception on June 5, 2006 to October 31, 2013, we received $4,281,716 from financing activities, primarily in the form of proceeds from the issuance of our common stock and preferred stock and proceeds from notes payable and convertible notes payable.
For the next 12 months (beginning October 2013), we estimate our planned expenses to be approximately $1,400,000, as summarized in the table below:
Description | | Potential | | | Estimated | |
| | Completion | | | Expenses | |
| | Date | | | ($) | |
General and administrative expenses | | | 12 months | | | | 250,000 | |
Professional fees | | | 12 months | | | | 150,000 | |
Unallocated working capital | | | 12 months | | | | 100,000 | |
Debt repayment | | | 12 months | | | | 900,000 | |
Total | | | | | | | 1,400,000 | |
Based on our planned expenditures, we require additional funds of approximately $1,400,000 to proceed with our business plan over the next 12 months (beginning October 2013). If we are not able to obtain additional financing on a timely basis, we will be unable to conduct our operations as planned, and we will not be able to meet our obligations as they become due. In such event, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.
Future Financings
We have not generated significant revenues since inception and are unlikely to generate significant revenues or earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. We rely upon the sale of our securities and proceeds from related parties to fund our operations. We anticipate that we will incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future, and we are dependent upon obtaining outside financing to carry out our operations.
We will require approximately $1,400,000 over the next 12 months (beginning October 2013) to enable us to proceed with our plan of operations, including paying our ongoing expenses. These cash requirements are in excess of our current cash and working capital resources. Accordingly, we intend to raise funds from private placements, loans or possibly a registered public offering (either self-underwritten or through a broker-dealer). At this time we do not have a commitment from any broker-dealer to provide us with financing, and there is no guarantee that any financing will be available to us or if available, on terms that will be acceptable to us.
If we are unable to obtain the necessary additional financing, then we plan to reduce the amounts that we spend on our operations, our professional fees and our general and administrative expenses so as not to exceed the amount of capital resources that are available to us. If we do not secure additional financing our current cash reserves and working capital will be not be sufficient to enable us to sustain our operations for the next 12 months, even if we do decide to scale them down.
Going Concern
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive activities. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements that they have substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our stockholders.
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.
Inflation
The amounts presented in our financial statements do not provide for the effect of inflation on our operations or financial position. The net operating losses shown would be greater than reported if the effects of inflation were reflected either by charging operations with amounts that represent replacement costs or by using other inflation adjustments.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements are affected by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. A complete summary of these policies is included in Note 2 of the notes to our financial statements for the three and twelve months ended October 31, 2013. We have identified below the accounting policies that are of particular importance in the presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows, and which require the application of significant judgment by management.
Comprehensive Loss
ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. As at October 31, 2013 and 2012, our company had no items that represent comprehensive income or loss.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Our company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
On4 Communications Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of On4 Communications Inc. (A Development Stage Company) (the “Company”) as of October 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended and accumulated from June 5, 2006 (date of inception) to October 31, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of October 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and accumulated from June 5, 2006 (date of inception) to October 31, 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has not generated significant revenue, has a working capital deficit, and has incurred operating losses since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
October 31, 2013
(Expressed in US dollars)
| 1. | Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business |
Sound Revolution Inc. (the "Company"), was incorporated on June 4, 2001 under the laws of the State of Delaware and on October 2, 2009 changed its name to On4 Communications, Inc. On May 1, 2009, the Company merged with On4 Communications, Inc. (“On4”), an Arizona corporation incorporated on June 5, 2006. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, the Company acquired all assets and liabilities of On4 by issuing new shares to all former shareholders of On4 on a 1-to-1 basis. The Company issued 62,122 common shares to the former shareholders of On4 and the merger was accounted for as a “reverse merger” using the purchase method of accounting, with the former shareholders of On4 controlling 68% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company after the closing of the transaction. Accordingly, On4 was deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes and the financial statements are presented as a continuation of On4 and include the results of operations of On4 since incorporation on June 5, 2006, and the results of operations of the Company since the date of acquisition on May 1, 2009. Refer to Note 13(b) for details of the share exchange agreement with NetCents Systems Ltd. (“NetCents”). On May 3, 2012, the Company’s shareholders approved a name change to NetCents Systems International Ltd., however, this has not been declared effective as of the date of issuance of these financial statements.
On4 is in the business of manufacturing two-way communication and location devices with applications that include tracking people, pets, assets, and inventory, among others.. The Company is a Development Stage Company, as defined byFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915,Development Stage Entities, and has not yet generated significant revenues from their intended business activities.
Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Companywill continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated significant revenues since inception and is unlikely to generate significant revenue or earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. As at October 31, 2013, the Company has not generated any revenues since inception, has a working capital deficiency of $1,856,658, and has an accumulateddeficit of $15,307,910since inception.The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations,and the attainment of profitable operations.These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 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 Company will need additional working capital to continue or to be successful in any future business activities. Therefore, continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining the additional working capital necessary to accomplish its objective. Management plans to seek debt or equity financing, or a combination of both, to raise the necessary working capital.

Basis of Presentation
These financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are presented in US dollars, unless otherwise noted. The Company’s fiscal year end is October 31.

Notes to the Financial Statements
October 31, 2013
(Expressed in US dollars)
| 1. | Summary of Significant Accounting Principles (continued) |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles 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 useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, fair value of convertible notes payable, stock-based compensation, derivative liabilities, 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity dates of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment consists of office equipment, is stated at cost and is amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the related assets of five years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360,Property, Plant, and Equipment, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718,Compensation – Stock Based Compensationand ASC 505-50 -Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. 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.
Reclassification
Certain financial statement items have been reclassified from the prior year in order to conform to presentation standards for the current year.

| 2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Principles (continued) |
Loss Per Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260,Earnings per Share,which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the statements of operations. 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.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional currency and its reporting currency is the United States dollar and foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. Monetary balance sheet items expressed in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the period, except for amortization, which is translated on the same basis as the related asset. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.
Comprehensive Income/Loss
ASC 220,Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at October 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had no items representing comprehensive income or loss.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred 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 carry-forwards. Deferred 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 tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
The Company files federal income tax returns in the United States. The Company may be subject to a reassessment of federal taxes by tax authorities for a period of three years from the date of the original notice of assessment in respect of any particular taxation year. In certain circumstances, the federal statute of limitations can reach beyond the standard three year period. The statute of limitations in the United States for income tax assessment varies from state to state. Tax authorities have not audited any of the Company’s income tax returns.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in tax expense. During the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no charges for interest or penalties.
Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures
ASC 825, Financial Instruments, defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

| 2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Principles (continued) |
Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures (continued)
ASC 825 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 825 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.
Level 1 applies to assets and liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market and do not entail a significant degree of judgment.
Level 2 applies to assets and liabilities for which there are other than Level 1 observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. Level 2 instruments require more management judgment and subjectivity as compared to Level 1 instruments. For instance: determining which instruments are most similar to the instrument being priced requires management to identify a sample of similar securities based on the coupon rates, maturity, issuer, credit rating and instrument type, and subjectively select an individual security or multiple securities that are deemed most similar to the security being priced; and determining whether a market is considered active requires management judgment.
Level 3 applies to assets and liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The determination of fair value for Level 3 instruments requires the most management judgment and subjectivity.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company’s balance sheet as at October 31, 2013 as follows:
| Fair Value Measurements Using | |
| Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments (Level 1) $ | Significant other observable inputs (Level 2) $ | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) $ | Balance, October 31, 2013 $ |

Derivative liabilities | – | 121,632 | – | 121,632 |
| | | | |
| 1,022 | 121,632 | – | 122,654 |
The fair values of other financial instruments, which includeloan receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accrued interest payable, amounts due to related parties, notes payable, and convertible notes payable approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial statements.
On December 15, 2011, the Company entered into the share exchange agreement with NetCents Systems Ltd. (“NetCents”), as described in Note 13(b).At October 31, 2013, the Company was owed $121,090 (2012 - $78,202) for expenses paid on behalf of NetCents. The amount is unsecured, non-interest bearing, and due on demand.

ITEM 9. | CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE |
There were no disagreements related to accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, internal controls or auditing scope or procedure during the two fiscal years and interim periods.
ITEM 9A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 , as amended, 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 president (who is acting as our principal executive officer and as our principal financial officer and principle accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure
As of October 31, 2013, the end of our fiscal year covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our president (also our principal executive officer and our principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our president (also our principal executive officer and our principal financial and accounting officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2013, we determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below:
| 1. | We did not maintain appropriate financial reporting controls – As of October 31, 2013, our company has not maintained sufficient internal controls over financial reporting for the financial reporting process. As at October 31, 2013, our company did not have sufficient financial reporting controls with respect to timely financial reporting and the ability to process complex accounting issues. |
Accordingly, our 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 our company’s internal controls.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of control procedures. The objectives of internal control include providing management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2013. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Our management has concluded that, as of October 31, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting is effective. Our management reviewed the results of their assessment with our Board of Directors.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of Saturna Group Chartered Accountants LLP, our company’s registered public accounting firm, regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit our company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations which include but is not limited to the use of independent professionals for advice and guidance, interpretation of existing and/or changing rules and principles, segregation of management duties, scale of organization, and personnel factors. Internal control over financial reporting is a process which involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis, however these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. 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.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended October 31, 2013 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

He spent the next 5 years creating and funding the development of his first company, The Cybux Cash Card Company Ltd. Cybux was tested in the British Columbia school systems and was eventually sold to a third party which led to the creation of the next generation, a payment system designed with total anonymity and security for buying goods and services over the internet known as NetCents. Mr. Moore has been president of NetCents since its incorporation in 2006.
Steven Allmen –Director
Steven Allmen has over twenty years of experience working with leading companies in the loyalty, retail, telecom, financial services and marketing sectors.

Mr. Allmen has practical business experience across multiple industries having held senior positions at Aeroplan Canada (current), The Hudson’s Bay Company, Air Miles and Compusearch Micromarketing. By combining his years of experience and comprehensive understanding of market trends, Mr. Allmen can effectively advise our company on business development strategies, new product development and partnership programs that yield immediate results. Mr. Allmen is currently the vice-president, New Partner Development, Aeroplan Canada at Groupe Aeroplan and is responsible for new partner development, securing strategic alliances and negotiating new contracts for Aeroplan, Canada’s premier coalition loyalty program.

As chief executive officer of Cybux, Mr. Madson, working with parents, teachers and school boards, created and developed a successful rollout of a school cash card program that was integrated into six school districts with a total of 20 schools.

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 shall 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
We have not yet adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions because we have not yet finalized the content of such a code. 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 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 October 31, 2013, Forms 5 and any amendments thereto furnished to us with respect to the year ended October 31, 2013, and the representations made by the reporting persons to us, we believe that during the year ended October 31, 2013, our executive officers and directors have not complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements. As of the date of this report, our executive officers and directors are working to complete the required filings to comply with Section 16(a).

There are no arrangements or plans in which we provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors or executive officers. Our directors and executive officers may receive share options at the discretion of our board of directors in the future. We do not have any material bonus or profit sharing plans pursuant to which cash or non-cash compensation is or may be paid to our directors or executive officers, except that share options may be granted at the discretion of our board of directors.
Stock Option Plan
On September 18, 2006, our directors approved the adoption of our 2006 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (amended on October 10, 2006) which permits our company to grant up to 1,500,000 options to acquire shares of common stock, to directors, officers, employees and consultants of our company.

We do not have any agreements for compensating our directors for their services in their capacity as directors, although such directors are expected in the future to receive stock options to purchase shares of our common stock as awarded by our board of directors.
We have determined that none of our directors are independent directors, as that term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under theSecurities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined by Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules.

None of our directors or executive officers or any associate or affiliate of our company during the last two fiscal years, is or has been indebted to our company by way of guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or other similar agreement or understanding currently outstanding.
ITEM 12. | SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS |
The following table sets forth certain information concerning the number of shares of our common stock owned beneficially as of the date of this Report by: (i) each of our directors; (ii) each of our executive officers; and (iii) each person or group known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Unless otherwise indicated, the shareholders listed below possess sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares they own.
As of March 13, 2014, there were 2,146,728 common shares issued and outstanding, 0 shares issuable upon the exercise of stock purchase options within 60 days, and 0 shares issuable upon the exercise of stock purchase warrants within 60 days.
Name and Address of Beneficial Owner | Title of Class | Amount and Nature of Beneficial Ownership | Percentage of Class (1) |
Clayton Moore (2) President, Chief Executive Officer, Director 1188 West Pender Street Vancouver, British Columbia Canada | Common | Nil | Nil |
Steven Allmen (3) Director 14 Bernice Avenue Toronto, Ontario Canada | Common | Nil | Nil |
Ryan Madson (4) Chief Operating Officer, Chief Marketing Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and Director 6654 Jenkins Road Nanaimo, British Columbia Canada | Common | Nil | Nil |
Directors and Officers as a group | Common | Nil | Nil |
5% or More Beneficial Owners | Common | Nil | Nil |
| (1) | Based on 2,146,728 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of March 13, 2014. Except as otherwise indicated, we believe that the beneficial owners of the common shares listed above, based on information furnished by such owners, have sole investment and voting power with respect to such shares, subject to community property laws where applicable. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock subject to options or warrants currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days, are deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding such option or warrants, but are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. |
| (2) | Mr. Moore was has served as President, CEO and Director of the Company since November 4, 2011. |
| (3) | Mr. Allmen has served as Director of the Company since November 4, 2011. |
| (4) | Mr. Madson has served as chief operating officer from November 4, 2011 and as chief marketing officer, secretary, treasurer and as a director since June 23, 2012. |
Changes in Control
On December 15, 2011, we entered into a share exchange agreement with NetCents and the selling shareholders of NetCents. Pursuant to the terms of the share exchange agreement, our company and NetCents agreed to engage in a share exchange which, if completed, would result in NetCents becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of our company. The share exchange has not been completed as of the date of this Annual Report and is subject to completion of due diligence by the parties.
Also on December 15, 2011, NetCents received the approval for the share exchange agreement and the share exchange transaction from holders of approximately 76% of its voting securities through written resolution in lieu of holding a meeting.
Consummation of the above referenced transaction would result in a change of control of our company. Other than the aforementioned share exchange agreement, we are unaware of any contract or other arrangement or provisions of our Articles or Bylaws the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change of control of our company. There are not any provisions in our Articles or Bylaws, the operation of which would delay, defer, or prevent a change in control of our company.
ITEM 13. | CERTAIN RELATIONSHPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE |
Director Independence
For purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the definitions set out in NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2). The OTCBB on which shares of common stock are quoted does not have any director independence requirements. The NASDAQ definition of “Independent Director” means a person other than an Executive Officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company's Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
According to the NASDAQ definition, neither Clayton Moore nor Ryan Madson are independent directors, as defined in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15), because they are also executive officers of the Company. Steven Allmen is an independent director of the Company as defined in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15).
We do not have a standing audit, compensation or nominating committee, but our entire board of directors acts in such capacities. We believe that our members of our board of directors are capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. The board of directors of our company does not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because we believe that the functions of an audit committee can be adequately performed by the board of directors. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development.
Related Party Transactions
As at October 31, 2013, the Company owed $2,085 (2012 - $2,329) to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The amounts owing are unsecured, non-interest bearing, and due on demand.
As at October 31, 2013, the Company owed $2,773 (2012 - $Nil) to the Chief Operating Officer of the Company. The amounts owing are unsecured, non-interest bearing, and due on demand.
Other than the foregoing, none of the directors or executive officers of the Company, nor any person who owned of record or was known to own beneficially more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding shares of its Common Stock, nor any associate or affiliate of such persons or companies, has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction that has occurred during the past fiscal year, or in any proposed transaction, which has materially affected or will affect the Company.
With regard to any future related party transaction, we plan to fully disclose any and all related party transactions in the following manner:
| · | Disclosing such transactions in reports where required; |
| · | Disclosing in any and all filings with the SEC, where required; |
| · | Obtaining disinterested directors consent; and |
| · | Obtaining shareholder consent where required. |
Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons
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.
