(A development stage enterprise)
Three and nine months ended December 31, 2013
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
| (A) | Business Description |
ZD Ventures Corporation, formerly Webtradex International Corporation, (the “Company”), incorporated on February 23, 2005 under the laws of the state of Nevada, is a development stage corporation, and operates from its executive office in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The Company is currently in the development stage as defined under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915-10, “Development Stage Entities". All activities of the Company to date relate to its organization, initial funding and share issuances.
In July 2012, the Company acquired certain intellectual properties related to a social website under development (Note 4).
The Company was unable to complete the development work planned due to insufficient financing. However, subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company has secured the necessary funds and expects to complete the necessary work to launch the website commercially as soon as possible.
| (B) | Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of ZD Ventures Corporation have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in ZD Ventures Corporation’s Form 10-K (as amended) filed with the SEC. The unaudited interim financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2013 have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. These financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) necessary to present fairly the balance sheets, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Operating results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted in accordance with the SEC’s rules and regulations for interim reporting.
| (C) | Use of estimates |
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statement of financial position and revenues and expenses for the year then ended. Actual results may differ significantly from those estimates.
| (D) | Intangible assets |
The Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment annually or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Intangible assets are tested for impairment by first comparing the book value of net assets to the fair value. If the fair value is determined to be less than the book value, a second step is performed to compute the amount of impairment as the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying value. The fair value is estimated using discounted cash flows.

(A development stage enterprise)
Three and nine months ended December 31, 2013
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Intangible assets - continued
Forecasts of future cash flows are based on management’s best estimate of future net sales and operating expenses, based primarily on estimated category expansion, market segment share and general economic conditions.
| (E) | Foreign Currency Translation |
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States Dollar. Assets and liabilities recorded in currencies other than US dollars are translated into USD at the prevailing exchange rates in effect at the end of the reporting period, the historical rate for stockholders’ equity (deficiency) and revenues, expenses, gains and losses shall be translated at the exchange rate on the dates on which these elements are recognized, or if found to be impractical, the average exchange rate for the period may be used to translate these elements. Adjustments that arise from translation into the reporting currency are recorded as an exchange gain or loss and are recognized as a component of other comprehensive income.
| (F) | Income taxes |
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740 which requires use of the liability method. Topic 740 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purpose, referred to as temporary differences. Deferred tax assets and liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the currently enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be settled or realized. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
It is management's opinion that all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods have been made, and all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has an accumulated deficit amount of $130,852.

NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The management has evaluated all recently issued accounting pronouncements through to the filing date of these financial statements and believes that these pronouncements, although for the current filing date, will not have a material effect on the Company’s position and results of operations may have effects in future.
In July 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02 “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (ASU 2012-02), which is included in ASC Topic 350 (Intangibles—Goodwill and Other). ASU 2012-02 gives entities the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If greater than 50 percent likelihood exists that the fair value is less than the carrying amount then a quantitative impairment test as described in Subtopic 350-30 must be performed. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance does not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as of this date.
In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11 “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” (ASU 2013-11), which is included in ASC Topic 740 (Income Taxes). ASU 2013-11 requires an entity to net its liability for unrecognized tax positions against a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward when settlement in this manner is available under the tax law. The provisions of this new guidance are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this guidance does not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as of this date.
NOTE 4 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS (RESTATED)
The following were the movements in the intangible assets:
| December 31, 2013 | March 31, 2013 | |
| Balance, beginning of the period | $ 502,516 | $ - |
| Amounts relating to acquisition during the period | - | 385,500 |
| Development costs incurred during the period | - | 117,016 |
| Balance, end of the period | $ 502,516 | $ 502,516 |
Development costs are comprised of fees paid to various consultants for content development, design and editorial work on the B’Wished website.
The B’Wished website requires certain technical changes and new features. No work was done during the period ended December 31, 2013 since the Company did not have adequate cash resources to implement the required changes. Subsequent to this date however, the Company successfully secured additional funds which management plans to use in updating and completing the website for its commercial launch.
In light of the above, the Company’s management has concluded that the intangible assets have not sustained any permanent impairment as at December 31, 2013.
No amortization is applied to the carrying cost of the intangible assets since they are still under development.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Report on Form 10-Q as well as our other SEC filings.
Overview
We were incorporated on February 23, 2005 under the laws of the state of Nevada. We have had several changes in our officers and directors since inception up to March 9, 2010 when Mr. Kam Shah became our chairman of the board of directors, president, secretary, treasurer and chief executive officer. On June 28, 2013, the Company changed its name from Webtradex International Corporation to ZD Ventures Corporation (“ZDV”, the “Company”).
We do not have any subsidiaries. Our principal office is located at 47 Avenue Road, Suite 200, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5R 2G3. Our telephone number is (416) 929-1806. Our fiscal year end is March 31.
ZDV’s current business strategy involves developing a social website aimed at driving traffic for various sellers of products and services which can generate revenue through commissions from the associated sellers and advertisements, as well as other related sources for the Company. The Company is a developmental stage corporation and has not yet generated or realized significant revenues from business operations.
In July 2012, the Company acquired all intellectual property related to the development of B’Wished, including all related URLs, designs, concepts and software codes which it plans to use in the continuous development of an interactive website - B’Wished - and generate business in the social e-commerce sector.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes of the Company for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2013 and the audited financial statements and notes for the year ended March 31, 2013.
Business Plan and Strategy
The Company’s business strategy involves the commercial launch of the B’Wished website. B´Wished is an interactive, social website dedicated to helping its visitors find the perfect gift for someone on any occasion. By combining social media with e-commerce, B’Wished fills an important gap in the increasingly popular social shopping industry. Through an emphasis on what a person wants instead of what companies offer, B’Wished will enhance the personal satisfaction experienced through giving.
The B’Wished website requires certain technical changes and new features. No work was done during the period ended December 31, 2013 since the Company did not have adequate cash resources to implement the required changes. Subsequent to this date however, the Company successfully secured additional funds which management plans to use in updating and completing the website for its commercial launch.
Results of operations
The Company did not have any operating income since its inception on February 23, 2005 through December 31, 2013. For the period from inception through to the quarter ended December 31, 2013, the Company has recognized a net loss of $130,852.
Operating expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2013 decreased significantly from those for the nine months ended December 31, 2012. This decrease of approximately $12,600 is due mainly to the reduction in travel and promotion charged by consultants during the nine month period ended December 31, 2012 and professional fees paid to the chief operating and investment officer, during the nine month period ended December 31, 2012, which were not charged in the nine month period ended December 31, 2013.
Professional Fees
Professional fees for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2013 include the quarterly fees charged by the independent accountant. Professional fees decreased from $9,473 to $7,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Professional fees were comprised of fees charged by the independent accountant and, for the period ended December 2012, include the gain on the disposition of debt from the absolved promissory note, which was due to the Company’s former CEO.
The company’s CEO currently does not charge any fees.
Consulting Fees
During the three months ended December 31, 2013, $1,500 was charged to the Company for consulting services by Mr. Jeffrey Robinson, a shareholder of the company. For the nine months ended December 31, 2012, $11,000 was charged by two independent consultants for services including logistics consulting.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the nine month period ended December 31, 2013 was nil. For the nine month period ended December 31, 2012 the total interest of $7,435 was accrued in connection with the $325,000 note payable.
No interest was accrued after July 17, 2013, due to the negotiated five year extension of the note payable without any further interest to be charged. BSC will be entitled to receive 5% of the gross revenue earned by ZD Ventures until the full settlement of the note.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company has not generated cash flow from operations. Consequently, the Company has been dependent upon its shareholders and associates to fund its cash requirements.
Our present material commitments are professional and administrative fees and expenses associated with the preparation of our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and other regulatory requirements and the debt associated with the acquisition of B’Wished.
As of December 31, 2013, the Company had cash of $2,427. The Company's total assets decreased from $506,173 as of March 31, 2013 to $504,943 as at December 31, 2013. Total liabilities increased from $528,301 as of March 31, 2013 to $544,096 as of December 31, 2013. These increases are attributable to additional borrowing to pay operating expenses.
The Company continues to seek advances from its shareholders and also looks for opportunities to raise money through private equity. There is however no guarantee that the Company will be successful in these efforts. In the event that the Company is unable to raise the required funding, it may have to abandon its project.
Intangible Assets
On July 17, 2012, the Company acquired from Birthday Slam Corporation (BSC), an Ontario, Canada incorporated Private Corporation, which is owned by Mr. John Robinson, a shareholder of the Company, assets comprising of a website and related applications for commercial use under development at a total purchase price of $385,500. The acquisition was accounted for as assets acquisition since it did not fully meet the criteria for a business acquisition set out in FASB ASC 805-10-20 The purchase price was allocated to the intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair value on the acquisition date.. The fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired has been determined primarily by using the income and cost approach. Purchased identified intangible assets which comprise a website and related applications under development of B’Wished, are included as intangible assets and will be amortized on a straight line basis over their useful life, considered to be five years upon commencement of their commercial usage.
The purchase price includes a $325,000 note payable, bearing a 5% interest rate and assumed four BSC loans totaling $60,500 from non-related parties to be settled by the issuance of 400,000 restricted common shares of the Company. As of July 17, 2013, the note payable matured and its terms were re-negotiated between the Company and the note holder. The note was extended for five-years, with a maturity date of July 17, 2018, without any further interest to be charged. BSC will be entitled to receive 5% of the gross revenue earned by ZD Ventures until the full settlement of the note.
The Company has entered into agreements with various affiliate partners whose products and services will be promoted to the visitors of the B’Wished website. The affiliation does not involve any commitments on either party except that when a sale is generated through the B’Wished website with any of the affiliated partners, the Company will be entitled to a commission fixed as a percentage of the value of the sales.
Currently, the new innovation and design team of the B’Wished project is working on the completion of wire-framing the new user experience. Upon completion of this step, the project will be handed off to the front end designer for graphics and CSS for the coding team. Our touch point for B’Wished will be mobile focused, but we will maintain our web based presence. We have added one very important feature to be developed and implement prior to the full launch – the B’Wished API, allowing suppliers to upload products and merchandise.
Since the acquisition, direct development costs incurred total $117,016, which have been capitalized up to and including December 31, 2013. These costs were comprised of fees paid to various consultants for content development, design and editorial work on the B’Wished website.
The B’Wished website requires certain technical changes and new features. No work was done during the period ended December 31, 2013 since the Company did not have adequate cash resources to implement the required changes. Subsequent to this date however, the Company successfully secured additional funds which management plans to use in updating and completing the website for its commercial launch.
In light of the above, the Company’s management has concluded that the intangible assets have not sustained any permanent impairment as at December 31, 2013.
No amortization is applied to the carrying cost of the intangible assets since they are still under development.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. We have a deficit accumulated during our development stage of $130,852 and a working capital deficiency of $216,669 at December 31, 2013, and net losses from operations of $17,202 and $29,853, respectively, for the nine month period ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect or change on the Company’s financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.
Item 4T - Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief executive officer who is also our financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the chief executive and financial officer concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive and financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including chief executive and financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, management’s evaluation of controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within ZD Ventures Corporation have been detected.
