FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.
This annual report contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are projections in respect of future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “intend”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential”, or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, including the risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors” commencing on page 5, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity or performance to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity or performance expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include: a continued downturn in international economic conditions; any adverse occurrence with respect to the development or marketing of our product; any adverse occurrence with respect to any of our licensing agreements; our ability to successfully bring products to market; product development or other initiatives by our competitors; fluctuations in the availability and cost of materials required to produce our products; any adverse occurrence with respect to distribution of our products; potential negative financial impact from claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings or challenges; and other factors beyond our control.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity or performance. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
As used in this annual report, the terms “we”, “us” “our” and “PreAxia” mean PreAxia Health Care Payment Systems Inc. and our wholly- owned subsidiary, PreAxia Health Care Payment System Inc. (formerly H Pay Card Inc.), unless the context clearly requires otherwise. Unless otherwise stated, “$” refers to United States dollars.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Corporate Overview
Preaxia was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 3, 2000. On December 11, 2008, the Nevada Secretary of State effected a name change which had been previously approved by the majority of the stockholders on October 28, 2008.
Our company undertakes all of its operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PreAxia Health Care Payment Systems Inc. (“PreAxia Canada”- formerly H Pay Card Inc). PreAxia Canada, prior to being acquired by PreAxia, was a private corporation incorporated pursuant to the laws of the Province of Alberta on January 28, 2008.

General Overview
PreAxia and PreAxia Canada are both development stage companies. PreAxia Canada is a company which intends to deliver a comprehensive suite of solutions and services directed at the emerging health payment market, specifically the opportunities tied to the growth of health spending accounts (“HSA”). There is a rapid shift in healthcare traditional payment models to consumer-directed healthcare that is creating significant opportunities for financial services and insurance industries to deliver new dynamic products to this emerging market.
Spawned by the need to address escalating health care costs, changes in the regulatory environment and the growing consumer desire for greater participation in the management of their health benefits, the boundaries between health care and the financial services industries are becoming increasingly blurred. With the trend towards self-directed health payment solutions and the growing demand for faster, easier and more convenient benefit services, the insurance and benefits industries are banking on HSA medical payments being their next big growth conduit. Studies suggest that HSAs in the US will grow to over $75 billion in assets and 25 million consumers by 2015. This coupled with the continued growth of the Canadian group insurance industry illustrates the emerging opportunity for innovative health payment services. We intend to initially launch our products in Canada. We believe that Canadian businesses are embracing a new healthcare financing vehicle to control costs, increase profitability and get more return from their investment. We intend to provide them with services to capture this market opportunity.
Description of Health Spending Account (“HSA”)
A HSA can operate like a bank account; plan members start each plan year with a certain number of dollar credits in their HSA; throughout the year, those credits may be used to pay for certain medical, vision and dental expenses. The credits can be used to top up existing group coverage by covering residual amounts on prescription drugs, eyeglasses and hearing aids or to pay for medical, vision and dental expenses that otherwise may not be covered under the group benefit plan. Traditional health plan users pay premiums into a plan but do not see a return on money unless there is an issue with their health. In addition, most plans are established so that monies deposited into a plan by an employee are non-transferable upon the employee’s change of employment.
Services and infrastructure provided by PreAxia will enable insurance companies, governments and corporations to replace cash and cheque payments. Our company plans are to provide instant issuing services that enable corporations to issue and fund Pre-Paid Interac or credit card services to beneficiaries in real time. The beneficiary will select a personal identification number (“PIN”) using a PIN and card activation terminal, thus gaining instant access to funds that can be reloaded.
PreAxia is in the process of developing a platform for processing and managing accounts and payment cards, including cardholder and customer account management, reconciliation and financial settlement, and customer reporting.
PreAxia is in the process of developing software systems for the issuing of health payment cards and financial transaction processing services that will be fully managed by a data center. Products and services are anticipated to include:
- Payment card issuance on behalf of issuing bank partners for customer-branded credit cards and Interac payment cards. The cards are anticipated to be issued with Canadian and United States access through Interac (Canada) and STAR (United States) ATM, as well as inter-bank networks.
- Payment processing and funds allocation on payment accounts through financial electronic data interchange, wire transfers, and the automatic clearing house (“ACH”), with a PreAxia connection to a financial institution payment gateway and the United States ACH network through a United States financial institution.
- Enabling cardholders to select a personal PIN using a PreAxia PIN selection and card activation terminal. These functions enable the end user to be issued a PreAxia generated payment card at a customer’s office which is ready for immediate use.
- Authorizing transactions based upon the business requirements of PreAxia customers.
- Monitoring for unusual transaction activities, fraud and compliance violations.
- Providing management reports to customers and payment beneficiaries.
- Customer support center for reporting lost or stolen cards and for answering cardholder inquiries.

Distribution Methods and Marketing Strategy
PreAxia’s overall strategy is to finalize development of and market its health care payment cards and system. Our company will target enterprise-sized, public and private sector customers at the provincial and national levels. We will seek opportunities with lead customers and alliance partners to establish reference-able, high-profile implementations and market-leading, early-adopter firms for further developing innovative products and services. Our company intends to design solutions targeted towards corporate financial management, financial risk, audit management and cash management and target product/service management as a support to financial management.
We anticipate that prime targets will be organizations that make a significant number of payments to individuals by way of cheques or serve individuals with limited or no access to bank accounts. We anticipate that PreAxia’s products will replace the usage of cheques for people who prefer electronic delivery of funds through a multi-functional Interac or major credit card and generate cost savings benefits and increased efficiencies for its clients.
PreAxia intends to achieve service volume and the associated economies of scale through marketing directly to select target customers that provide the necessary transaction volumes, and through market specific channel partners. The channel strategy is supported in the solution design, as multiple channel partners will require branding and our company’s fee charging/collection capabilities.
It is our company’s intention to sell through multi-tiered, value-added resellers. For example, the Health Card solution may be provided by a subcontract to a leading vendor that rebrands and adds value to the solution. The leading vendor in turn may form part of a larger professional services systems integration engagement with the customer. One example of this approach is that a major bank may lead on selling our company’s solution to medical insurance companies and the health care industry under our product brand.
PreAxia has identified the following “channels” through which it will target prime end market customers:
- Benefits managers/adjudicators, including insurance, health or outsources government benefits processors that manage benefits disbursement
- Issuer banks, including partner banks that enable the issuance of Health Cards
- Application providers, including software manufacturers selling into the target vertical markets
- Professional services, including consulting, development and implementation companies serving the target vertical markets
PreAxia intends to establish several key customer reference accounts, channel marketing partners and technology alliances. These corporate relationships are key to advance our company’s goals in 2014 and 2015 for achieving a prime position in the Canadian public sector and establishing a solid service foundation.
Competitive Business Conditions and our Company’s Competitive Position in the Industry and Methods of Competition
PreAxia intends to offer a combination of products and services in its solution. However, there are other providers of components or versions of the Health Card value proposition in the marketplace. Our company is taking a different approach by providing a high value added and robust capability within specific target markets, rather than the “one size fits all” and mass volume approach of the larger companies in the Canadian and international market. The following are some of the leading providers of products and services that are or may be potential competitors in PreAxia’s target markets:

We anticipate that we will hire additional key staff throughout 2014/15 in areas of administration/accounting, business development, operations, sales/marketing, and research/development.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Risks Related to our Company
We have a limited operating history.
We are in the early stages of development and face risks associated with a new company in a growth industry. We may not successfully address these risks and uncertainties or successfully implement our operating strategies. If we fail to do so, it could materially harm our business to the point of having to cease operations and could impair the value of our common stock to the point investors may lose their entire investment. Even if we accomplish these objectives, we may not generate positive cash flows or the profits we anticipate in the future.
PreAxia has a limited operational history. Our company has never paid dividends and has no present intention to pay dividends. Our company is in the early commercialization stage of its business and therefore will be subject to the risks associated with early stage companies, including uncertainty of revenues, markets and profitability and the need to raise additional funding. PreAxia will be committing, and for the foreseeable future will continue to commit, significant financial resources to marketing, product development and research. PreAxia’s business and prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stage of development. Such risks include the evolving and unpredictable nature of our company’s business, PreAxia��s ability to anticipate and adapt to a developing market, acceptance by consumers of our products and the ability to identify, attract and retain qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that PreAxia will be successful in doing what is necessary to address these risks.
We will need substantial additional financing in the future to continue operations.
Our ability to continue our present operations will be dependent upon our ability to obtain significant external funding. Additional sources of funding have not been established. We are exploring various financing alternatives. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in securing such financing at acceptable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available from the foregoing sources, or if we determine it is to otherwise be in our best interests, we may consider additional strategic financing options, including sales of assets.
5 |
We will require key personnel.
The financial services technology industry involves a high degree of risk, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. The success of PreAxia is dependent on the services of its senior management. The experience of these individuals will be a factor contributing to our company’s continued success and growth. The loss of one or more of its key employees could have a material adverse effect on our operations and business prospects. In addition, PreAxia’s future success will depend in large part on its ability to attract and retain additional highly skilled technical, management, sales and marketing personnel. There can be no assurance that our company will be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our company’s business, operating results and financial condition.
We have additional financing requirements.
In order to accelerate PreAxia’s growth objectives, it will need to raise additional funds from lenders and equity markets in the future. There can be no assurance that our company will be able to raise additional capital on commercially reasonable terms to finance its growth objectives. The ability of our company to arrange such financing in the future will depend in part upon the prevailing capital market conditions as well as the business performance of our company. There can be no assurance that PreAxia will be successful in its efforts to arrange additional financing on terms satisfactory to our company. If additional financing is raised by the issuance of shares of common stock of our company, control of our company may change and stockholders may suffer additional dilution.
We may not be successful in the protection of intellectual property.
There can be no assurance that infringement or invalidity claims (or claims for indemnification resulting from infringement claims) will not be asserted or prosecuted against PreAxia or that any such assertions or prosecutions will not materially adversely affect our company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. Irrespective of the validity or the successful assertion of such claims, our company could incur significant costs and diversion of resources with respect to the defense thereof which could have a material adverse effect on our company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. Our company’s performance and ability to compete are dependent to a significant degree on its proprietary technology. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by our company will prevent misappropriation of its technology or that agreements entered into for that purpose will be enforceable. The laws of other countries may afford our company little or no effective protection of its intellectual property. Our company may in the future also rely on technology licenses from third parties. There can be no assurance that these third party licenses will be, or will continue to be, available to our company on commercially reasonable terms. The loss of, or inability of our company to maintain, any of these technology licenses could result in delays in completing its product enhancements and new developments until equivalent technology could be identified, licensed, or developed and integrated. Any such delays would materially adversely affect PreAxia’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting were not effective, which may cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.
Our management evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of May 31, 2013 and concluded that as of that date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. In addition, our management evaluated our internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2013 and concluded that that there were material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of that date and that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of that date. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
We have not yet remediated this material weakness and we believe that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting continue to be ineffective. Until these issues are corrected, our ability to report financial results or other information required to be disclosed on a timely and accurate basis may be adversely affected and our financial reporting may continue to be unreliable, which could result in additional misinformation being disseminated to the public. Investors relying upon this misinformation may make an uninformed investment decision.

Risks Related to our Business
We face competition and may not be able to compete successfully.
PreAxia may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and the competitive pressures PreAxia faces could harm its business and prospects. Broadly speaking, the market for financial services technology is competitive. There are other providers of components or versions of the Health Card value proposition in the marketplace. Additionally, the level of competition is likely to increase as current competitors improve their product offerings and as new participants enter the market. Many of PreAxia’s current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater name and brand recognition and significantly greater financial, sales, marketing, technical and other resources than PreAxia.
Additionally, these competitors have research and development capabilities that may allow them to develop new or improved products that may compete with products PreAxia markets and distributes. New technologies and the expansion of existing technologies may also increase competitive pressures on PreAxia. Increased competition may result in reduced operating margins as well as loss of market share. This could result in decreased usage of PreAxia’s products and may have a material adverse effect on PreAxia’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may face implementation delays.
Most of PreAxia’s customers will be in a testing or preliminary stage of utilizing PreAxia’s products and may encounter delays or other problems in the introduction of PreAxia’s products. A decision not to do so, or a delay in implementation, could result in a delay or loss of related revenue or could otherwise harm PreAxia’s businesses and prospects. PreAxia will not be able to predict when a customer that is in a testing or a preliminary use phase will adopt a broader use of PreAxia’s products.
We may get limited customer feedback respecting products.
PreAxia’s revenue will depend on the number of customers who use PreAxia’s products. Accordingly, the satisfactory design of PreAxia’s product is critical to PreAxia’s business, and any significant product design limitations or deficiencies could harm PreAxia’s business and market acceptance. This limited feedback may not have resulted in an adequate assessment of customer requirements. Therefore, the currently specified features and functionality of PreAxia’s product may not satisfy current or future customer demands. Furthermore, even if PreAxia identifies the feature set required by customers in PreAxia’s market, it may not be able to design and implement products incorporating features in a timely and efficient manner, if at all.
We may face a slowdown in developing markets.
The market for PreAxia’s product is relatively new and continues to evolve. If the market for PreAxia’s product fails to develop and grow, or if PreAxia’s product does not gain market acceptance, PreAxia’s business and prospects will be harmed.
7 |
Our ability to keep current with technological changes impact on our ongoing business.
The financial services technology industry is susceptible to technological advances and the introduction of new products utilizing new technologies. Further, the financial services technology industry is also subject to customer preferences and to competitive pressures which can, among other things, necessitate revisions in pricing strategies, price reductions and reduced profit margins. The success of PreAxia will depend on its ability to secure technological superiority in its product and maintain such superiority in the face of new products. No assurances can be given that the product of PreAxia will be commercially viable or that further modification or additional products will not be required in order to meet demands or to make changes necessitated by developments made by competitors which might render the product of PreAxia less competitive, less marketable, or even obsolete over time. The future success of PreAxia will be influenced by its ability to continue to develop new competitive products. There can be no assurance that research and development activities with respect to the development of new products and the improvement of its existing product will prove profitable, or that products or improvements resulting therefrom, if any, will be successfully produced and marketed.
The financial services technology industry is characterized by technological change, changes in user and customer requirements, new product introductions, new technologies, and the emergence of new industry standards and practices that could render PreAxia’s technology obsolete or have a negative impact on sales margins PreAxia’s product may command. PreAxia’s performance will depend, in part, on its ability to enhance its existing product, develop new proprietary technology that addresses the sophisticated and varied needs of its prospective customers, and respond to technological advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a timely and cost-effective basis. The development of technology entails significant technical and business risks. There can be no assurance that PreAxia will be successful in using new technologies effectively or adapting its product to customer requirements or emerging industry standards.
We require strategic alliances.
PreAxia’s growth and marketing strategies are based, in part, on seeking out and forming strategic alliances and working relationships, as well as the performance of such strategic alliances and working relationships. General criteria to be used to assess potential alliances include the following: industry expertise, reputation and market position, complementary technologies or products, and nature and adequacy of resources.
We may have problems with our resolution of product deficiencies.
Difficulties in product design, performance and reliability could result in lost revenue, delays in customer acceptance of PreAxias’s products, and/or lawsuits, and would be detrimental, perhaps materially, to PreAxia’s market reputation. Serious defects are frequently found during the period immediately following the introduction of new products or enhancements to existing products. Undetected errors or performance problems may be discovered in the future. Moreover, known errors which PreAxia considers minor may be considered serious by its customers. If PreAxia’s internal quality assurance testing or customer testing reveals performance issues and/or desirable feature enhancements, PreAxia could postpone the development and release of updates or enhancements to its current product or the release of new products. PreAxia may not be able to successfully complete the development of planned or future products in a timely manner, or to adequately address product defects, which could harm PreAxia’s business and prospects. In addition, product defects may expose PreAxia to liability claims, for which PreAxia may not have sufficient liability insurance. A successful suit against PreAxia could harm its business and financial condition.
We may not be able to effectively manage our growth.
PreAxia may be subject to growth-related risks, including capacity constraints and pressure on its internal systems and controls. PreAxia’s ability to manage its growth effectively will require it to continue to implement and improve its operational and financial systems and to expand, train and manage its employee base. The inability of PreAxia to deal with this growth could have a material adverse impact on its business, operations and prospects. PreAxia may experience growth in the number of its employees and the scope of its operating and financial systems, resulting in increased responsibilities for PreAxia’s personnel, the hiring of additional personnel and, in general, higher levels of operating expenses. In order to manage its current operations and any future growth effectively, PreAxia will also need to continue to implement and improve its operational, financial and management information systems and to hire, train, motivate, manage and retain its employees. There can be no assurance that PreAxia will be able to manage such growth effectively, that its management, personnel or systems will be adequate to support PreAxia’s operations or that PreAxia will be able to achieve the increased levels of revenue commensurate with the increased levels of operating expenses associated with this growth.
8 |
We have negative cash flow and absence of profits.
PreAxia has not earned any profits to date and there is no assurance that it will earn any profits in the future, or that profitability, if achieved, will be sustained. A significant portion of PreAxia’s financial resources will continue to be directed to the development of its products and to marketing activities. The success of PreAxia will ultimately depend on its ability to generate revenues from its product sales, such that the business development and marketing activities may be financed by revenues from operations instead of external financing.
There is no assurance that future revenues will be sufficient to generate the required funds to continue such business development and marketing activities.
Our directors and officers may face conflicts of interest.
Certain directors and officers of PreAxia may become associated with other reporting issuers or other corporations which may give rise to conflicts of interest. Directors who have a material interest or any person who is a party to a material contract or a proposed material contract with PreAxia are required, subject to certain exceptions, to disclose that interest and generally abstain from voting on any resolution to approve the contract. In addition, the directors are required to act honestly, and in good faith, with a view to the best interests of PreAxia, as the case may be.
Certain of the directors may have, either other employment, other business, or time restrictions placed on them and accordingly, these directors will only be able to devote part of their time to the affairs of PreAxia.

PreAxia does not currently have key man insurance in place in respect of any of its senior officers or personnel.
Acquisitions, investments and other strategic transactions could result in operating difficulties, dilution to our investors and other negative consequences.
It is our current intention to engage in and evaluate a wide array of potential strategic transactions, including acquisitions of companies, businesses, intellectual properties, and other assets. As of the date of filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have not yet identified any such strategic transactions. Any of these strategic transactions could be material to our financial condition and results of operations. In our search for opportunities to engage in strategic transactions, we may not be successful in identifying suitable opportunities. We may not be able to consummate potential acquisitions or investments, or an acquisition or investment may not enhance our business or may decrease rather than increase our earnings. In addition, the process of integrating an acquired company or business, or successfully exploiting acquired intellectual property or other assets, could divert a significant amount of our management’s time and focus and may create unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures.
Additional risks we may face include:
- The need to implement or remediate controls, procedures and policies appropriate for a public company in an acquired company that, prior to the acquisition, lacked these controls, procedures and policies;
- Cultural challenges associated with integrating employees from an acquired company or business into our organization;
- Retaining key employees from the businesses we acquire, and
- The need to integrate an acquired company’s accounting, management information, human resource and other administrative systems to permit effective management.

Future acquisitions and investments could involve the issuance of our equity securities, potentially diluting our existing stockholders, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities or amortization expenses, write-offs of goodwill, intangibles, or acquired in-process technology, or other increased expenses, any of which could harm our financial condition. Our stockholders may not have the opportunity to review, vote on or evaluate future acquisitions or investments.
Fluctuations in quarterly operating results lead to unpredictability of revenue and earnings.
The timing of the release of health care payments processing products and services can cause material quarterly revenue and earnings fluctuations. A significant portion of revenue in any quarter may be derived from sales of products and services introduced in that quarter or established in the immediately preceding quarter. If we are unable to begin to generate sales of products and services during the scheduled quarter, our revenue and earnings will be negatively affected in that period. Quarterly operating results also may be materially impacted by factors, including the level of market acceptance, or demand for health payment processing products and services and the level of development and/or promotion expenses for health payment processing products and services. Consequently, if net revenue in a period is below expectations, our operating results and financial position in that period are likely to be negatively affected, as has occurred in the past.
Risks Related to our Common Stock
There is currently no trading market for our common stock.
There is currently no trading market for our common stock. Our common stock is not quoted on any exchange or inter-dealer quotation system. There is no trading market for our common stock and our common stock may never be included for trading on any stock exchange or through any quotation system (including, without limitation, the NASDAQ Stock Market and the OTC Bulletin Board). You may not be able to sell your shares due to the absence of a trading market. Any market that develops for our common stock likely will be illiquid and the price of our common stock could be subject to volatility related or unrelated to our operations.
A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital, it may adversely impact our ability to continue operations and we may go out of business.
A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because we may attempt to acquire a significant portion of the funds we need in order to conduct our planned operations through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could be detrimental to our liquidity and our operations because the decline may cause investors to not choose to invest in our stock. If we are unable to raise the funds we require for all our planned operations, we may be forced to reallocate funds from other planned uses and may suffer a significant negative effect on our business plan and operations, including our ability to develop new products and continue our current operations. As a result, our business may suffer, and not be successful and we may go out of business. We also might not be able to meet our financial obligations if we cannot raise enough funds through the sale of our common stock and we may be forced to go out of business.
Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our shares of common stock in the near future, our shareholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.
10 |
We intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the near future. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of the board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors as the board of directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend. Unless we pay dividends, our shareholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.
Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC’s penny stock regulations which may limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
General Overview
Our company undertakes all of its operations through PreAxia Canada, our wholly-owned subsidiary. PreAxia Canada is a company which intends to deliver a comprehensive suite of solutions and services directed at the emerging health payment market, specifically the opportunities tied to the growth of HSAs. There is a rapid shift in healthcare traditional payment models to consumer-directed healthcare that is creating significant
13 |
opportunities for financial services and insurance industries to deliver new dynamic products to this emerging market.
Spawned by the need to address escalating health care costs, changes in the regulatory environment and the growing consumer desire for greater participation in the management of their health benefits, the boundaries between health care and the financial services industries are becoming increasingly blurred. With the trend towards self-directed health payment solutions and the growing demand for faster, easier and more convenient growth conduct, studies suggest that HSA’s in the US will grow to over $75 billion in assets and 25 million consumers by 2015. This coupled with the continued growth of the Canadian group insurance industry illustrates the emerging opportunity for innovative health payment services. We intend to initially launch our products in Canada. We believe that Canadian businesses are embracing a new healthcare financing vehicle to control costs, increase profitability and get more return from their investment. We intend to provide them with services to capture this market opportunity.
Plan of Operation
Over the next twelve months, we plan to:
(a) | Raise additional capital to execute our business plans, and; | |
(b) | To penetrate the health payment processing market in Canada, and worldwide, by continuing to develop innovative health payment processing products and services, and; | |
(c) | Build up a network of strategic alliances with several types of health insurance companies, governments and other alliances in various vertical markets, and; | |
(d) | Fill the positions of senior management sales, administrative and engineering positions. |
Cash Requirements
After a further review of business opportunities with industry consultants, for the next twelve months and given that we meet our forecasted expenses, we plan to spend a total of approximately $1,550,000 in implementing our business plan of developing and marketing of health care processing products and services. We do not expect to generate any revenues during the year. Therefore, we will be required to raise a total of $2,850,000 to complete our business plan and pay our existing outstanding debts of approximately $1,300,000. Our working capital requirements for both our company and PreAxia Canada for the next twelve months are estimated at $1,550,000 distributed as follows:
Estimated Expenses | ||||
General and Administrative | $ | 300,000 | ||
Research and Development | $ | 450,000 | ||
Marketing and Education | $ | 450,000 | ||
Professional Services | $ | 350,000 | ||
Total | $ | 1,550,000 |
14 |
Our estimated expenses over the next twelve months are broken down as follows:
1. | General and AdministrativeWe anticipate spending approximately $300,000 on general and administration costs in the next twelve months, which will include office rent, office supplies, transfer agents, filing fees, bank service charges, salary for our administrator, interest expense and travel, which includes airfare, meals, car rentals and accommodations. | |
2. | Research and DevelopmentWe anticipate that we may spend approximately $450,000 in the next twelve months in the maintenance of our development and additional acquisition of software for our processing services and products. | |
3. | Marketing and EducationWe anticipate spending approximately $450,000 on the costs of staff and personnel marketing and promoting our company, our products and services, and educating the public to attract new accounts, including staff and personnel. | |
4. | Professional ServicesWe anticipate that we may spend up to $350,000 in the next twelve months for professional services, which includes stock-based compensation, consulting fees, accounting, auditing and legal fees. |
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of May 31, 2013, we had a cash balance of $13,251 compared to $8,468, as at May 31, 2012. PreAxia Canada will be required to raise capital to fund our operations. We had a working capital deficit of $1,429,313as of May 31, 2013 compared with a working capital deficit of $1,186,762 as of May 31, 2012.
Our company currently has little cash on hand. Our ability to meet our financial liabilities and commitments is primarily dependent upon the continued issuance of equity to new stockholders, and our ability to achieve and maintain profitable operations. Our company’s cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the next twelve month period. We will not initially have any cash flow from operating activities as we are in the development stage with PreAxia Canada. We project that we will require an estimated additional $2,976,445 over the next twelve month period to fund our operating cash shortfall calculated as $1,429,313 to cover our working capital deficit plus $1,550,000 for our projected cash request for the year ended May 31, 2013. Our company plans to raise the capital required to satisfy our immediate short-term needs and additional capital required to meet our estimated funding requirements for the next twelve months primarily through the private placement of our equity securities or by way of loans or such other means as our company may determine.
There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain funds required for our continued operations. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business.
15 |
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further long-term financing, successful and sufficient market acceptance of our products and achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
Our financial condition as at May 31, 2013 and May 31, 2012 and the changes between those periods for the respective items are summarized as follows:
Working Capital
May 31, 2013 | May 31, 2012 | |||||||
Current Assets | $ | 13,251 | $ | 8,468 | ||||
Current Liabilities | $ | 1,442,564 | $ | 1,195,230 | ||||
Working Capital (deficit) | $ | (1,429,313 | ) | $ | (1,186,762 | ) |
The increase in our working deficit of $242,551 was primarily due to increase in in accounts payables and loans payable.

Cash Provided by Investing Activities
During the year ended May 31, 2013, $102,151 was used to acquire software.
Cash from Financing Activities
We received net cash from financing activities during the year ended May 31, 2013. Net cash generated by financing activities is attributable to cash received from net loan advances payable totalling $26,656, and the sale of common stock of $85,001 for net cash from financing activities totalling $111,657.
Results of Operations
The following summary of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2013, which are included herein. Our operating results for the year ended May 31, 2013 and May 31, 2012 are described below.
16 |
Revenue
We have not earned any revenues since our inception and we do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we have completed the development of our Health Card software and obtained new customers.
Expenses
Our expenses for the 12 months ended May 31, 2013 and May 31, 2012 were as follows:
Year Ended | Year Ended | |||||||||||
May 31, 2013 | May 31, 2012 | % | ||||||||||
Consulting Fees | $ | 139,185 | $ | 120,000 | 15.9 | |||||||
Professional Fees | 16,251 | 36,331 | (55.3 | )% | ||||||||

Rent | 4,392 | 18,541 | (69.7 | % | ||||||||
$ | 225,705 | $ | 569,765 |
Operating expenses for the 12 months ended May 31, 2013 were $225,705 which is a decrease of $339,873 compared to the year ended May 31, 2012. The decrease was due to a decrease in professional fees of $20,080, decrease in office and administration of $50,853, decrease in research and development of $240,596, decrease in wages and benefits of $26,022 and a decrease in rent of $14,149.
Professional Fees
Professional fees decreased by $20,080 in the year ended May 31, 2013 compared to the year ended May 31, 2012, due to an decrease in accounting fees, legal fees, and audit fees.
Office and Administration
Our office and administration expenses decreased by $50,853 in the year ended May 31, 2013 compared to the year ended May 31, 2012, due to a decrease in travel expenses to Bolivia and a decrease in general and administration expenses.
Research and development
Research and Development expenses decreased by $240,596 for the year ended May 31, 2013 compared to the year ended May 31, 2012, as a result of a change in accounting for software acquisition - (capitalized instead of expensed) and due to the completion of major project components.
Wages and benefits
Wages and benefits decreased by $26,022 for the year ended May 31, 2013 compared to the year ended May 31, 2012 due to an employee resigning.
17 |
Rent
Rent expense decreased by $14,149 for the year ended May 31, 2013 compared to the rent for the year ended May 31, 2012, as a result of the Calgary office closing.
We have historically incurred losses and have incurred a loss of $3,049,201 from inception to May 31, 2013. Because of these historical losses, we will require additional working capital to develop our business operations. We intend to raise additional working capital through private placements, public offerings, bank financing and/or advances from related parties or shareholder loans.
The continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing and achieving a break even or profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current or future stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
There are no assurances that we will be able to either (i) achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or (ii) obtain additional financing through either private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support our working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations and any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to us. If adequate working capital is not available, we may cease operations.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures of our company. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions that our company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from such estimates.
Use of Estimates in the preparation of the financial statements

Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Our company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Foreign Currency Translation
18 |
The functional currency of our company is the United States dollar. The functional currency of PreAxia Canada is the Canadian dollar. Assets and liabilities in the accompanying financial statements are translated into United States dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and capital accounts are translated at historical rates. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) account in stockholders’ deficit.
Transactions undertaken in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity are translated using the exchange rate in effect as of the transaction date. Any exchange gains and losses are included in the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Development Stage Company
Our company is a development stage company as defined in FASC 915-10-05 “Development Stage Entity.” Our company is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to establish a new business and none of its planned principal operations have commenced. All losses accumulated since inception has been considered as part of our company’s development stage activities.
Gain (Loss) Per Share

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB established the Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification” or “ASC”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants. Existing GAAP was not intended to be changed as a result of the Codification, and accordingly the change did not impact our financial statements. The ASC does change the way the guidance is organized and presented.
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06,Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820)—Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures(ASU 2010-06), to add additional disclosures about the different classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value, the valuation techniques and inputs used, the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, and the transfers between Levels 1, 2, and 3. We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of this standards update on our consolidated financial statements. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosure are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure requirements related to the purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll-forward activity of Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years ending after December 31, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 had no material impact on our financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-17,Revenue Recognition—Milestone Method (Topic 605)–Revenue Recognition(ASU 2010-17). ASU 2010-17 provides guidance on defining the milestone and determining when the use of the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development transactions is appropriate. It provides criteria for evaluating if the milestone is substantive and clarifies that a vendor can recognize consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a milestone as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved, if the milestone meets all the criteria to be considered substantive. ASU 2010-17 is effective for our company in fiscal 2011 and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2010-17 on our consolidated financial statements.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of PreAxia Healthcare Payment Systems, Inc. as of May 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statement of operations, stockholders’ deficiency, and cash flows from Inception (January 28, 2008) through May 31, 2013 and the years then ended. 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 audit.
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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included 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 the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit 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 PreAxia Healthcare Payment Systems, Inc. as from Inception (January 28, 2008) through May 31, 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has significant net losses and cash flow deficiencies. Those conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2013 and 2012
Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies
This summary of significant accounting policies of PreAxia Health Care Payment Systems Inc. (the “Company”) is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, which are stated in U.S. Dollars.
Organization
PreAxia Health Care Payment Systems Inc. (the “Company” OR “PreAxia”) was incorporated on April 3, 2000 in the State of Nevada. On May 31, 2005 the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Tiempo de Mexico Ltd. (“Tiempo”) in exchange for 5,000,000 shares of the common stock of the Company with a par value of $0.001. The Company had no operations prior to the date of the aforementioned acquisition.
On May 30, 2008, the Company finalized the execution of an acquisition agreement dated April 22, 2008 (the “Acquisition Agreement”) between PreAxia, PreAxia Canada (formerly H Pay Card Inc.), Tiempo, Kimberley Coonfer (“Coonfer”), Caribbean Overseas Investments Ltd. (“Caribbean”) and the stockholders of PreAxia Canada (the “PreAxia Canada Stockholders”). Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, PreAxia acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of PreAxia Canada resulting in PreAxia Canada becoming a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of PreAxia. Upon the acquisition of PreAxia Canada by PreAxia, PreAxia issued the stockholders of PreAxia Canada an aggregate of 12,000,000 shares of the common stock of PreAxia. Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s subsidiary, Tiempo (the “Tiempo Shares”) were transferred to Coonfer and Caribbean in exchange for the return of treasury of a total of 5,000,000 common shares of PreAxia (the “Cancellation Shares”). The Cancellation Shares were exchanged for the Tiempo Shares and $100,000 of the intercompany debt between Tiempo and PreAxia was written off on the books of Tiempo and PreAxia, and Tiempo provided a promissory note for the remaining intercompany debt between Tiempo and PreAxia in the amount of $49,281. As of May 30, 2008, Tiempo is no longer a subsidiary of PreAxia, PreAxia Canada Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PreAxia. PreAxia Canada Inc. Stockholders received an aggregate of 12,000,000 shares of PreAxia’s common stock representing 78.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. Tom Zapatinas, an Officer and Director of PreAxia Health Care Payment Systems Inc., is also an Officer and Director of PreAxia Canada Inc. He disclosed such information and interest in this transaction to the Board of Directors prior to the conclusion of this transaction.
As a result, the consolidated results of operations presented at May 31, 2013 are those of the Company and PreAxia Canada Inc. PreAxia Canada Inc. was incorporated pursuant to the laws of the Province of Alberta on January 28, 2008. Since inception of PreAxia Canada Inc., its business objective has been the development, distribution, marketing and sale of health care payment processing services and products.
Nature and Continuance of Operations
The Company is in the development stage and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2013
Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
Nature and Continuance of Operations (Continued)
The primary operations of the Company will eventually be undertaken by PreAxia Canada. PreAxia Canada is in the process of developing an online access system creating a health savings account that allows card payments and processing services to third-party administrators, insurance companies and others.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At May 31, 2013, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $3,049,201 since inception, has negative working capital of $1,429,313 and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management has no formal plan in place to address this concern but believes the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances, however there is no assurance of additional funding being available.
Use of Estimates in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements
The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company is the United States dollar. The functional currency of PreAxia Canada is the Canadian dollar. Assets and liabilities in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are translated into United States dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date and capital accounts are translated at historical rates. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments arising from the use of differing exchange rates from period to period are included in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) account in stockholders’ deficit.
Transactions undertaken in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity are translated using the exchange rate in effect as of the transaction date. Any exchange gains and losses are included in the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Development Stage Company
The Company is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to establish a new business and none of its planned principal operations have commenced. All losses accumulated since inception has been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.
Gain (Loss) Per Share
Gain (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed in the year in which they are incurred.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassification
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2010 has been reclassified from statements previously presented for comparative purposes. This includes payables – related parties, comprehensive income disclosure of foreign currency and several items in statement of cash flows, which required the removal of the repayment of loan payable – related party, the removal of proceeds from loan payable, an increase to the proceeds from loans payable – related party and an increase of accounts payable – related party.

Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB established the Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification” or “ASC”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants. Existing GAAP was not intended to be changed as a result of the Codification, and accordingly the change did not impact our consolidated financial statements. The ASC does change the way the guidance is organized and presented.
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06,Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820)—Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures(ASU 2010-06), to add additional disclosures about the different classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value, the valuation techniques and inputs used, the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, and the transfers between Levels 1, 2, and 3. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of this standards update on its consolidated financial statements. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosure are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure requirements related to the purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll-forward activity of Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years ending after December 31, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-17,Revenue Recognition—Milestone Method (Topic 605)–Revenue Recognition(ASU 2010-17). ASU 2010-17 provides guidance on defining the milestone and determining when the use of the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development transactions is appropriate. It provides criteria for evaluating if the milestone is substantive and clarifies that a vendor can recognize consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a milestone as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved, if the milestone meets all the criteria to be considered substantive. ASU 2010-17 is effective for the Company in fiscal 2011 and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2010-17 on its consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer concluded that, as of May 31, 2013, the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The ineffectiveness of our company’s disclosure controls and procedures was due to the existence of material weaknesses identified below.
Disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
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 under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 14d-14(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is 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.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial reporting reliability and financial statement preparation and presentation. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our company’s internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2013. In making the assessment, management used the criteria issued by theCommittee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of May 31, 2013, our company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective.
Management has identified the following material weaknesses:
- We do not have accounting staff with sufficient technical accounting knowledge relating to accounting for U.S. income taxes and complex US GAAP matters; and
- We failed to file our corporate tax returns for 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
We intend to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make the necessary improvements to remediate these material weaknesses. In particular, we intend to hire staff with U.S. GAAP expertise if we can obtain additional financing and hire professionals to prepare and complete the filing of our corporate tax returns.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
22 |
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Family Relationships
There are no family relationships between or among our directors or executive officers.
Business Experience
Tom Zapatinas, President, Secretary, Chief Executive Officer and a director
Tom Zapatinas has been a director of our company since January 9, 2007 and the president, secretary and chief executive officer of our company since January 25, 2008. Mr. Zapatinas has been a self-employed business consultant since August, 1997. In June of 1998, Mr. Zapatinas founded Prolific Smart Card Software Systems Inc. which became a reporting issuer on the TSX Venture Exchange in Canada. Mr. Zapatinas resigned from Prolific in May 29, 2001, to go back to his consulting practice. He brings experience in financing, corporate development and mergers and acquisitions.
Mr. Zapatinas is not an officer or director of any other reporting company that files annual, quarterly or periodic reports with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
We believe Mr. Zapatinas is qualified to serve on our board of directors because of his knowledge of our company’s history and current operations, which he gained from working for our company as described above, in addition to his business experiences as described above.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
Our directors or executive officers have not been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:
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 (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences); | |
3. | being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or | |
4. | being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated. | |
5. | being the subject of, or a party to, any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of: (i) any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation; or (ii) any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease- and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order; or (iii) any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or | |
24 |
6. | being the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member. |
Audit Committee
The Board of Directors presently does not have an audit committee. Since there are no independent members of the Board it is not feasible at this time to have an audit committee. The Board of Directors performs the same functions as an audit committee. The Board of Directors in performing its functions as an audit committee has determined that it does not have an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. We believe that the board of directors, in acting as our audit committee, is collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. 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 and the fact that we have generated nominal revenues to date.
Nomination Procedures For Appointment of Directors
We had not effected any material changes to the procedures by which our shareholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors. Our board of directors does not have a policy with regards to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by our shareholders. Our board of directors has determined that it is in the best position to evaluate our company’s requirements as well as the qualifications of each candidate when the board considers a nominee for a position on our board of directors. If shareholders wish to recommend candidates directly to our board, they may do so by sending communications to the president of our company at the address on the cover of this annual report.
Code of Ethics
We have not yet adopted a code of ethics that applies to our company’s president and secretary (being our principal executive officer) and our company’s treasurer (being our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), as well as persons performing similar functions.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide us with copies of those filings. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013 all filing requirements applicable to our executive officers, directors and greater than 10% percent beneficial owners were complied with.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
