Forward-Looking Statements
This annual report contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “could”, "may", "will", "should", "expect", "plan", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "predict", "potential" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable laws, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements so as to conform these statements to actual results.
As used in this annual report, the terms "we", "us", "our", “the Company”, mean Plyzer Technologies Inc., unless otherwise indicated.
All dollar amounts in this annual report refer to US dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Overview
The Company was incorporated on February 23, 2005 under the laws of the state of Nevada. Effective July 15, 2015, Mr. Terence Robinson was appointed as the Chairman of the Board of directors and is also the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
On March 31, 2017, the Company changed its name from ZD Ventures Corporation to Plyzer Technologies Inc. (“PLYZER”, the “Company”).
The Company has three subsidiaries, Plyzer Corporation, incorporated in the State of Delaware on December 9, 2016, Plyzer Technologies (Canada) Inc., incorporated in the Province of Ontario, Canada on April 11, 2017 and Plyzer BlockChain Technologies Inc., incorporated in Ontario, Canada on November 3, 2017.
Our principal office is located at 47 Avenue Road, Suite 200, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5R 2G3. Our telephone number is (416) 860-0211. Our fiscal year end is March 31. Our Canadian subsidiaries signed an assignment of lease on January 1, 2018 for premises at 67 Portland St., Toronto, Ontario M5V 2M9, Canada which will expire on December 30, 2018.
PLYZER’s business strategy until March 2015 involved developing a social website, B’ Wished, acquired in July 2012 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. However, at the end of March 31, 2015, the Management concluded that this was not a commercially viable business and decided to expense all the costs related to this project. During the fiscal year 2016, the Company also wrote off small investments it had in a couple of emerging technology companies in Spain due to unavailability of adequate information from these entities to support any valuation of these investments.
On November 21, 2016, The Company signed a consulting agreement with an independent Spanish Corporation, Lupama Producciones, S.L. (“Lupama”). Lupama’s key owner, Luis Pallares became the CEO of Plyzer Technologies (Canada) Inc. Lupama is creating an artificial intelligence driven engine for price comparison for the Company, known as “Plyzer”. Further details on Plyzer can be found in item 7 under “Business Plan and Strategy” section of this report.

Employees
As of March 31, 2018, the Company employed no full- time and no- part time employees. Hiring employees over the next twelve months will depend on the continued implementation of the current business strategy and if the required funds are raised. It is likely that for now, the Company will resort to hiring consultants as and when needed rather than employ people on a full-time basis to keep its operational costs at a minimum. All the development is outsourced to Lupama and other independent consultants.
Patents and Trademarks
We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patents or trademarks.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Discussion and Analysis
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company and the accompanying notes appearing subsequently under the caption "Financial Statements."
This report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements and from historical results of operations. Among the risks and uncertainties which could cause such a difference are those relating to our dependence upon certain key personnel, our ability to manage our growth, our success in implementing the business strategy, our success in arranging financing where required, and the risk of economic and market factors affecting us or our customers. Many of such risk factors are beyond the control of the Company and its management.

Business Plan and Strategy
Lupama is creating an artificial intelligence driven engine for price comparison for the Company, known as “Plyzer”. The focus is on the development of the backend and front end for “customer use”. While the Company has so far produced a fairly stable beta site, it needs more testing work. In addition to the testing, we also need to finish the composition of some back and front-end details and the configuration of some events. After this soft launch, we will review and update any issues that may arise at this stage and build new features to integrate during the public launch expected to be early next year. We are currently using development environments and testing production environments.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2018 AND 2017
Results of operations
Revenues
There were no revenue for the twelve months ended March 31, 2018, and 2017 respectively.
Development costs
Development costs related to fees paid to Lupama and other consultants in connection with the development of the PLYZER portal. Significant work was completed on the portal. Details of various tasks completed are provided under “Business plan and strategy” section above.
During the fiscal year 2017, the Company launched a new project - creating an artificial intelligence driven engine for price comparison, known as “Plyzer”.
Professional Fees
Professional fees for the fiscal year 2018 comprise audit and review fees of $7,400 charged by the independent accountant and legal fees of $105,420. Legal fees related mainly to processing and due diligence costs incurred in connection with debt financing of approximately $770,000 raised through convertible notes.
Professional fees for fiscal 2017 primarily comprised auditor’s fees of $6,300 for quarterly reviews and annual audit. There were no legal fees during the year.
Consulting Fees
Consulting fees for the fiscal year 2018 included fees of $36,000 charged by the CEO and $24,000 charged by the former CFO for providing accounting services. The balance of the fees of $5,510 were paid to other independent consultants.
Consulting fees for the fiscal year 2017 included fees of $25,000 charged by the CEO, $7,000 fees charged by a shareholder holding approximately 4.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company for consulting services, which was settled by issuance of restricted shares of the Company and $5,000 fees paid to the former CFO for providing accounting services. Fees of $36,000 charged previously by another shareholder was cancelled, thus reducing the overall fees to $1,000. Amounts charged by Lupama for development work has been reflected as development costs.
11
General and administrative Expenses
General and administrative costs for the fiscal year 2018 included rent and utilities of the Toronto office of approximately $25,000 and transfer agent fee and regulatory fees of $7,745 and $3,765 respectively. The increased fees were mainly due to the Toronto office, CUSIP change following a name change and processing fees related to convertible loans charged by the transfer agent.
General and administrative costs for the fiscal year 2017 included regulatory filing fees of $2,300 and $1,300 and other corporate costs comprising mainly Nevada State licence fees of $3,400.
Travel, meals and promotion
Travel, meals and promotion costs for the fiscal year 2018 were incurred mainly by the CEO in travels between Europe and North America in connection with fund raising and promotional activities.
There were no travel, meals or promotion costs during the fiscal year 2017.
Interest Expense
Interest costs related to 18 convertible loans raised during the fiscal year 2018 and included debt discount of $334,915 on conversion of some loans, interest of $12,229 settled by issuance of shares and Interest of $13,413 accrued and payable as at March 31, 2018.
Total interest for the year ended March 31, 2017 was $1,447. However, due to reversal of excess interest accrual of $1,178 relating to the prior year, net interest charge for the fiscal year 2017 was $268.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
For the fiscal year 2018, the Company generated a negative cash flow from operations of $913,924 (2017: negative cash flow of $84,079), which was met primarily from proceeds of shares issues and convertible loans.
In absence of any potential revenue in the near future, the Company will continue to be dependent upon debt and equity financing and borrowings from director and shareholder.
Our present material commitments are continuing development costs of Plyzer and 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.
The Company is seeking to raise capital to implement the Company's business strategy. In the event additional capital is not raised or alternatively debt financing is not available from our shareholders, the Company may seek a merger or outright sale.
Investing activities
During the fiscal year 2018, the Company spent $7,843 on furniture and equipment for the Toronto office of Plyzer Technologies (Canada) Inc. there was no such expenditure during the fiscal year 2017.
Financing activities
The Company raised total of $1.2 million through equity financing, shareholder advances and debt financing during the fiscal year 2018. Details of the financing are provided in Notes 5 and 7 of the audited consolidated financials for the year ended March 31, 2018.
12
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. We have an accumulated deficit of approximately $5.1 million as at March 31, 2018 ($3.3 million as at March 31, 2017). The Company realized a net loss of approximately $1.8 million and $70,000, respectively, for the years ended March 31, 2018and 2017. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company continued to secure additional funds through equity and convertible loans and raised approximately $1 million since April 1, 2017 and is currently negotiating with others to raise further funding needed. However, there is no guarantee that such negotiations will succeed or result in the availability of the required funding. Particularly, if the Company is unable to negotiate a viable business, it may fail to attract further funding. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies
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.
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.
Commitments
Under the terms of the consulting agreement with Lupama, Lupama shall be entitled to receive an additional 25 million restricted common shares as follows:
On Plyzer becoming a fully functional commercial site for consumers | 10 million |
On Plyzer becoming a fully functional commercial site for companies | 5 million |
On enrolment of first 100,000 users/month | 5 Million |
On achievement of first $50,000 in revenue | 5 Million |
Exact dates on which the above milestones would be achieved, and potential cost of this commitment was not known as at March 31, 2018. However, we are currently negotiating new terms with Lupama which will result in replacement of all the proposed shares with warrants, terms of which are not yet finalised. See Note 12 to the consolidated financials statements.
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, result of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Plyzer Technologies Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Plyzer Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2018 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has not established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating expenses. This factor, among others, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s 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.

(B)
Basis of Presentation
The audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2018 include the accounts of Plyzer Technologies Inc. and following wholly owned subsidiaries and are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in U.S. dollars:
a.

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 to be included as other comprehensive gain or loss. For the fiscal year 2018, the average exchange rate for the year and exchange rate as at March 31, 2018 was CDN$1 = US$0.78.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
In accordance with ASC Topic 280 - "Earnings Per Share", the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock had been issued and if the additional shares of common stock were dilutive.
Potential common stock consists of the incremental common stock issuable upon the exercise of common stock warrants (using the if-converted method). The computation of basic loss per share for the year ended March 31, 2018 excludes potentially dilutive securities of 8,045,573 shares underlying share purchase warrants and convertible notes, because their inclusion would be antidilutive. As a result, the computations of net loss per share for each period presented is the same for both basic and fully diluted.
Potentially dilutive securities outlined in the table below have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
| March 31, 2018 | March31, 2017 |

|
Stock purchase warrants | 5,900,000 | -- |
Convertible notes | 2,145,573 | -- |
| 8,045,573 | -- |
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2018, and 2017 the Company had no cash equivalents.
Furniture and equipment
Furniture and equipment items are stated at cost and depreciated to their estimated residual value over their estimated useful lives, which are presently considered to be three years. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the assets and related accumulated depreciation are relieved from the accounts and the resulting gains or losses are included in the Statements of Operations. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method.

Convertible debts and Derivative liability
Convertible loan notes issued by the Company have embedded conversion feature where principal liability and accrued interest are convertible, at the option of the loan holder, into common shares of the Company, at a price, based on the quoted market price of the Company’s common shares on the date of conversion discounted at an agreed percentage. The derivative liability is segregated and initially carried at fair value and subsequently remeasured on each reporting date at their fair value. The difference is taken to income as derivative gains or losses.
The debt discount is amortized over the period of the loan and charged to interest expense. Loans are stated at amortized discount amount.
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 basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, 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.
Share-Based Compensation
FASB ASC 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation” prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based payments awarded to employees, including employee stock option, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights, that may be classified as either equity or liabilities. The Company determines if a present obligation to settle the share-based payment transaction in cash or other assets exists. A present obligation to settle in cash or other assets exists if: (A) the option to settle by issuing equity instruments lacks commercial substance or (B) the present obligation is implied because of an entity’s past practice or stated policies. If a present obligation exists, the transaction should be recognized as a liability; otherwise, the transaction should be recognized as equity.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.
FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) topic, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements is defined as follows:

Significant accounting policies - Continued
Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable of the asset or liability other than quoted prices, either directly or indirectly including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active;
Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

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 this raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability 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. While the Company has so far been successful in raising the required capital through debt and equity financing, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will continue to be able to raise the funding required to complete its development work and commercial launch of the portal successfully in future.
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 March 31, 2018, the Company has an accumulated deficit amount of approximately $5.1 million.

NOTE 3 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial assets and liabilities. This ASU will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The Company is evaluating the effects of the adoption of this ASU to its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. Under this guidance, an entity is required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. This guidance offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, and requires a modified retrospective adoption, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial instruments." The amendments in this update change how companies measure and recognize credit impairment for many financial assets. The new expected credit loss model will require companies to immediately recognize an estimate of credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of the financial assets (including trade receivables) that are in the scope of the update. The update also made amendments to the current impairment model for held-to-maturity and available-for-sale debt securities and certain guarantees. The guidance will become effective for us on January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. We are evaluating the effect of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). ASU 2018-02 addresses the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate on items within accumulated other comprehensive income or loss due to the enactment of the Tax Act on December 22, 2017. The new standard is effective for annual periods, and for interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We do not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, and ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles- Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU No. 2017-01 clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. ASU No. 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test and requires a goodwill impairment to be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of its goodwill. The ASU is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We do not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Since the convertible loan notes issued during the year have a beneficial conversion feature which is contingent upon future market prices, they did not meet the conditions necessary for equity classification and as a result, the imbedded conversion feature is considered a derivative liability. The fair value of the derivative relating to the convertible loans notes outstanding at March 31, 2018 was estimated on the issue date and subsequently remeasured on March 31, 2018 using the Black-Scholes valuation technique, using the following assumptions
| Issue date | March 31, 2018 |
Expected dividend | nil | nil |
Risk free interest rate | 1% | 1% |
Expected volatility | 105.17% - 234.52% | 214.19% |
Expected term | 283 days – 638 days | 142 days -587 days |
NOTE 7 - COMMON STOCK
On May 2, 2017, the Company initiated a private placement of up to 10 million Units at a price of $0.05 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of one common share and one warrant. The warrant is convertible into one share at an exercise price of $0.20 per share and is valid for two years.
During the year to March 31, 2018, the Company issued 5.9 million Units for net proceeds of $295,000.
During the year to March 31, 2018, six convertible notes plus accrued interest were converted into 2,666,795 shares for a total value of $229,136.
The Company issued on December 21, 2016, 5 million restricted common shares to Lupama as a joining bonus as per the terms of the consulting agreement signed with Lupama. These shares were valued at $350,000, based on the quoted market price of $0.07 per common share on the date of issuance. As per the terms of the consulting agreement, these shares will vest only after 12 months and are subject to the consultant not resigning or the consulting agreement not terminating prior to the vesting date. The Company and Lupama agreed that the conditions necessary to vest these shares were not met as at March 31, 2018. As a result, the value of the shares will be accounted only on their vesting unconditionally. However, on May 15, 2018, these shares were returned to treasury and were cancelled. (Note 12)
At March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had 200,000,000 common shares of par value $0.001 common stock authorized.

NOTE 8 - WARRANTS
As explained in Note 7, the Company issued 5.9 million warrants in connection with the private placement. The relative fair value of the 5.9 million warrants issued was estimated at $145,782 using the Black-Scholes valuation technique, using the following assumptions:
Expected dividend | nil |
Risk free interest rate | 1% |
Expected volatility | 72.695 to 78.97% |

The value of warrants has been included in the paid in capital.
At March 31, 2018 and 2017, the following share purchase warrants were outstanding:

NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740-10, which provides for an asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences, using currently enacted tax laws, attributed to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts calculated for income tax purposes.
Effective December 22, 2017 a new tax bill was signed into law that reduced the federal income tax rate for corporations from 35% to 21%. The SEC has issued guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 that allows for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the 2017 Tax Reform to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. The Company currently anticipates finalizing and recording any resulting adjustments by the end of fiscal year 2019.
For the years ended March 31, 2018, and 2017, respectively, the Company produced net operating losses before provision for income taxes of $980,170 and $69,857 respectively; accordingly, a provision for income taxes of $0 was recorded during the year ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
The components of the Company’s deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:
| 2018 | 2017 | ||
Net operating loss carryover | $ | (708,000) | $ | (502,000) |

As at the year-end the Company had an approximate net tax loss carried forward of $2.4 million (2017: $1.4 million). Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carry-forwards. These losses expire between 2028 and 2038. There is a three-year limitation on IRS audit since filing of a tax return. The Company has yet to file its tax returns since the fiscal year 2012. Penalties and interest if any charged are included in general and administrative expenses. No penalty or interest was charged or included during the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
The Company’s subsidiary in Canada is subject to Canadian Federal and Provincial taxes. There is however no tax liability due to losses. At the year end, the Company had approximately net tax losses carried forward of $27,800 (2017: $nil), which has been fully offset by valuation allowance of the same amount, as their realization is determined not likely to occur.
NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
Five million shares issued to Lupama but not yet vested were returned to treasury and canceled on May 15, 2018. Further, the Company is in negotiation with Lupama to replace the remaining 25 million shares issuable on achievement of the agreed milestones as explained in Note 9 with 30 million warrants, terms of which have not yet been agreed.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
We have had no disagreements on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures with our accountants for the year ended March 31, 2018 or any interim period.
We have not had any other changes in nor have we had any disagreements, whether or not resolved, with our accountants on accounting and financial disclosures during our two recent fiscal years or any later interim period.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management which comprises our Chief executive officer who is also our Chief 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 not 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 Plyzer have been detected.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Those rules define internal control over financial reporting as 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 and includes those policies and procedures that: 1.Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; 2. Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that out receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and 3. Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2018. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO - 2013"). Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of March 31, 2018, our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures was not effective based on those criteria and appointing full-time staff to enforce such controls is not presently considered cost effective.
15
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no major changes in internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal year 2018. The Company’s Plyzer project development work was carried out by Lupama in Spain but is expected in future to be managed in Toronto, Ontario, Canada for which the Company is considering recruiting certain staff including an accountant, provided the Company could generate enough financial resources to support these costs. In the event of such recruitments, more effective internal controls will be introduced and followed.

| Chief Executive Officer and director. |
Business Experience
Terence Robinson was appointed on September 30, 2014 as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Robinson is responsible for the internal control, financial records, shareholders’ relations, arranging the required financing, reviewing investment opportunities and overall operating strategies for the Company. He has over 25 years of experience as a merchant banker and venture capitalist and has successfully secured financing for a number of start-up and small cap companies.
During the past five years, to the best of our knowledge, none of the directors has been the subject of the following events:
1. Any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time.
2. Any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding.
3. An order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, or any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting such person’s involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities.
4. Found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Future Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.
16
Committees of the Board of Directors
As we only have one Board member and given our limited operations, we do not have separate or independent audit or compensation committees. In addition, we have not adopted any procedures by which our stockholders may recommend nominees to our Board.
Compensation of Directors
Our directors receive no cash compensation as directors. However, Mr. Robinson charged fees of $36,000 for the fiscal year 2018 for his services as CEO.
Terms of Office
Our directors are appointed for one-year terms to hold office until the next annual general meeting of the holders of our Common Stock or until removed from office in accordance with our by-laws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by our board of directors.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
For companies registered pursuant to section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of reports furnished to us and written representations that no other reports were required, Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with on a timely basis for the period to which this report relates.
Code of Ethics
We have not adopted a Code of Ethics given our limited operations and lack of employees.
Conflicts of Interest
None of our officers will devote more than a portion of his time to our affairs. There will be occasions when the time requirements of our business conflict with the demands of the officers’ other business activities. Such conflicts may require that we attempt to employ additional personnel. There is no assurance that the services of such persons will be available or that they can be obtained upon terms favourable to us and within the resources available to us.
Our officers, directors and principal shareholders may actively negotiate for the purchase of a portion of their common stock as a condition to, or in connection with, a proposed merger or acquisition transaction, if any. In the event that such a transaction occurs, it is anticipated that a substantial premium may be paid by the purchaser in conjunction with any sale of shares by our officers, directors and principal shareholders made as a condition to, or in connection with, a proposed merger or acquisition transaction. The fact that a substantial premium may be paid to members of our management to acquire their shares creates a conflict of interest for them and may compromise their state law fiduciary duties to our other shareholders. In making any such sale, members of Company management may consider their own personal pecuniary benefit rather than the best interests of the Company and the Company's other shareholders, and the other shareholders are not expected to be afforded the opportunity to approve or consent to any particular buy-out transaction involving shares held by members of Company management.
It is not currently anticipated that any salary, consulting fee, or finder’s fee shall be paid to any of our directors or executive officers, or to any other affiliate of us except as described under Executive Compensation below.

Although management has no current plans to cause us to do so, it is possible that we may enter into an agreement with an acquisition candidate requiring the sale of all or a portion of the Common Stock held by our current stockholders to the acquisition candidate or principals thereof, or to other individuals or business entities, or requiring some other form of payment to our current stockholders, or requiring the future employment of specified officers and payment of salaries to them. It is more likely than not that any sale of securities by our current stockholders to an acquisition candidate would be at a price substantially higher than that originally paid by such stockholders. Any payment to current stockholders in the context of an acquisition involving us would be determined entirely by the largely unforeseeable terms of a future agreement with an unidentified business entity.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Mr. Terence Robinson who acts as both the CEO and CFO charged $36,000 for the fiscal year 2018.
Compensation of Directors
Directors received no compensation to act as directors during the fiscal years 2018 and 2017.
Bonuses and Deferred Compensation
We do not have any bonus, deferred compensation or retirement plan.
Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Rights
We do not currently have a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Rights Plan. No stock options or stock appreciation rights were awarded during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, or the period ending on the date of this Report.
Termination of Employment and Change of Control Arrangement
There are no compensatory plans or arrangements, including payments to be received from us, with respect to any person named in cash compensation set out above which would in any way result in payments to any such person because of his resignation, retirement, or other termination of such person's employment with us, or any change in control of us, or a change in the person's responsibilities following a changing in control.
ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth, as of March 31, 2018, information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock by (i) persons known by us to beneficially own more than five percent of the outstanding shares, (ii) each director, (iii) each executive officer and (iv) all directors and executive officers as a group.
Name and Address | Title of Class | Number | Percent (1) |
Terence Robinson | Common | 18,595,452 | 43.06% |
68 Admiral Road, Toronto, ON M5R 2L5 |
|
|
|
|
| 20,495,452 | 43.06% |
(1) Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person's actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on March 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2018, there were 43,183,271 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
We currently do not have any equity compensation plans.
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
None of the following persons has any direct or indirect material interest in any transaction to which we were or are a party during the past two years, or in any proposed transaction to which we propose to be a party:
(a) any director or officer;
(b) any person proposed to be a nominee for election as a director;
(c) any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 5% of the voting rights attached to our common stock; or
(d) any immediate family member, including any spouse, child, parent, step-child, step-parent, sibling or in-law, of any of the foregoing.
Director Independence
There is presently no public market for our common stock. As a result, for purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the definitions set out in NASDAQ Rule 4200(a) (15). Under NASDAQ Rule 4200(a) (15), a director is not considered to be independent if he or she is also an executive officer or employee of the corporation. Mr. Terence Robinson, is a director who acts as CEO and CFO. As such, we do not have any independent directors.
ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES
The aggregate fees billed for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of the Corporation's financial statements in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and review of the financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows:
