FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are "forward-looking statements" (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) regarding the plans and objectives of management for future operations. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements of the Registrant to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. The Registrant's plans and objectives are based, in part, on assumptions involving the continued expansion of business. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the Registrant. Although the Registrant believes its assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove to be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance the forward-looking statements included in this Report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Registrant or any other person that the objectives and plans of the Registrant will be achieved.
The forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-K and referred to elsewhere are related to future events or our strategies or future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "should," "believe," "anticipate," "future," "potential," "estimate," "encourage," "opportunity," "growth," "leader," "expect," "intend," "plan," "expand," "focus," "through," "strategy," "provide," "offer," "allow, "commitment," "implement," "result," "increase," "establish," "perform," "make," "continue," "can," "ongoing," "include" or the negative of such terms or comparable terminology. All forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-K are based on information available to us as of the filing date of this report, and the Company assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements include those described in Item 1A, "Risk Factors."
Item 1. Business
General
Alternative Investment Corporation (the "Company", “AIKO”, “we”, “us” or “our”) was incorporated in Nevada on March 26, 2007 under the name of China Digital Ventures Corporation (“CDVC”) and was in the web based telecom services business in China. The Company's mission was to acquire, own and manage a portfolio of "technology", "media" and "telecommunication" assets in China.
In July 2009, the Company acquired a 76.8% interest in China Integrated Media Corporation Limited ("CIMC"), a public company in Australia.
In February 2010, the Company decided to divest from its investment in CIMC due to its inability to raise the capital necessary to pursue this investment on a timely manner and concerns on its internal liquidity. On April 30, 2010, the Company disposed of CIMC for $50,000 and realized a gain on the disposal of $92,975. The proceeds from the disposal were used to pay debts of the Company.
On June 20, 2010, the Company disposed of its subsidiary company, Lead Concept Limited, which operated its web based VOIP business as the Company was no longer competitive in this market segment. After the disposal, the Company had no operations.
On July 23, 2010, the Company experienced a change in control. Canton Investments Ltd. (“CIL”) acquired a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company in accordance with stock purchase agreements by and between CIL and Wireless One International Limited (“Wireless One”), Bing HE and Ning HE, the Company’s former directors, and other various shareholders. On the closing date, July 23, 2010, pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, CIL purchased from Wireless One and Bing HE and Ning HE 575,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock for $205,750. Also on July 23, 2010, CIL purchased 122,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock for $36,600 from various shareholders. As a result of the change in control, CIL owned a total of 697,000 shares of the Company’s common stock representing 91.54%.
In accordance with the change in control Mr. Bing HE resigned as the Company's President, CEO, and any other positions held by him on July 23, 2010. The resignation was not the result of any disagreement with the Company or any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices. The same date Mr. Robert M. Price was named as the new Director, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

On May 10, 2012, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation in the State of Nevada to change its name to Paradigm Resource Management Corporation.
On September 10, 2012, CIL contributed 600,000 shares of common stock to the Company’s treasury. The Company immediately retired and canceled these shares. As a result of the contribution of shares, CIL owns a total of 97,000 shares of the Company’s common stock representing 60%.
On July 24, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with AMSA Development Technology Co Ltd (“AMSA”) to acquire 402,300 shares of TOSS Plasma Technologies Ltd. (“TPT”) previously held by AMSA in exchange for 17,933 shares of its common stock. The 402,300 shares of TPT represent 10.1% of TPT’s outstanding common stock. The agreement also provides AMSA an option to acquire an additional 22,417 shares of the Company’s common stock and provides the Company an option to acquire an additional 402,300 shares of TPT common stock from AMSA.
On December 4, 2013, the Company and AMSA entered into an Amendment to the Agreement dated July 24, 2013. Under the terms of the amendment, the Company had the option to acquire up to a total of 3,432,000 shares of TPT from AMSA and AMSA had the option to acquire up to a total of 114,933 shares of common stock of the Company. The options expired on June 2, 2014.
On September 10, 2015, the Company and AMSA entered into a Rescission Agreement to fully rescind the previous acquisition agreement of shares of TPT and returned previously issued shares of each company to each other.
On September 18, 2015, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation in the State of Nevada to change its name to Alternative Investment Corporation.
On April 1, 2016, the Company entered into a Shareholders’ Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Basil and Barns, Inc., a New York corporation incorporated on February 2, 2016, (“B&B Inc.”), Fess Holdings LLC, Basil and Barns LLC and JIF Holdings LLC to acquire 55% of the outstanding common shares of B&B Inc.
On February 27, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with B&B Inc., Fess Holdings LLC, Basil and Barns LLC and JIF Holdings LLC, wherein the Company has been unable to provide funding as per the original April 1, 2016 Agreement, having only provided $360,000 to date, the parties agreed to allow the Company to assign its remaining funding obligations and its ownership shares to a new ownership, in consideration of $50,000 to be paid to the Company and forfeiture of the $360,000 acquisition deposit. As of February 27, 2017, the Company is no longer participating in the original Agreement, directly or through related parties. As of December 31, 2016, the Company recorded a forfeiture of the acquisition deposit of $310,000 in the accompanying statement of operations.
On November 30, 2017, Mr. Daniel Otazo, Director, Chief Executive Officer and interim Chief Financial Officer, resigned. Mr. Otazo’s resignation was not a result of any disagreement with the Company.
On December 1, 2017, the Shareholders of the Corporation voted to elect Mr. Antonio Treminio as Director and CEO of the Company. Mr. Treminio, 46, has over 20 years of experience in the financial markets with special focus on corporate financing for private and public companies.
The Company is focused on new investment opportunities which lie in the real estate sector with primary focus on distressed real estate assets and/or alternative real estate developments as well as other technologies in the biotech sector. On July 17, 2018, Alternative Investments Corporation (AIKO) (the “Company”) entered into a binding Term Sheet (“the Agreement”) with Anew Biotechnology Inc., a private company (“ANEW”) to formulate a merger between the two. Under the terms of the Agreement, the parties shall enter into a merger agreement by way of share exchange or asset purchase whereby ANEW would be merged into a newly-formed subsidiary of the Company. The newly configured entity shall bear the name “Anew Biotechnology Inc.”. Upon execution of a Definitive Agreement, Dr. Joseph Sinkule the CEO of ANEW, shall be appointed as CEO, and ANEW shall appoint all other Directors to the Board.
On November 22, 2018, the Company and ANEW mutually agreed to postpone the execution date of the definitive agreement to occur no later than December 31, 2018. The parties further agreed that the closing of the capital raise simultaneous to the merger was to occur on or before January 17, 2019.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following important factors among others, could cause our actual operating results to differ materially from those indicated or suggested by forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-K or presented elsewhere by management from time to time.
There is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Our auditor's report on our fiscal year 2018 financial statements expresses an opinion that substantial doubt exists as to whether we can continue as a going concern. Because our officers and directors may be unable or unwilling to loan or advance any additional capital to the Company, we may not have the funds necessary to continue our operations. See "September 30, 2018 Audited Financial Statements."
We have a limited operating history; thus, we cannot predict whether we will be successful in meeting our financial obligations.
We were established in March 2007. Although we had begun the sales of telecom services by direct sales with modest revenue generated, we have disposed of those businesses and currently have no revenue stream. We currently have $5,620 in cash and are reliant upon our officers, directors, and shareholders to fund the operating expenses of the Company while we assess and evaluate our next business strategy. There is no guarantee that our officers, directors and shareholders will continue to fund these activities.
If our strategy is unsuccessful, we will not be profitable and our stockholders could lose their investment.
There is no guarantee that our strategy for obtaining or developing assets will be successful or that if successfully developed, will result in the Company becoming profitable. If our strategy is unsuccessful, we may fail to meet our objectives and not realize the revenues or profits from the business we pursue that may cause the value of the Company to decrease, thereby potentially causing our stockholders to lose their investment.
We have not paid any cash dividends in the past and have no plans to issue cash dividends in the future, which could cause the value of our common stock to have a lower value than other similar companies which do pay cash dividends.
We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock to date and do not anticipate any cash dividends being paid to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. While our dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, it is anticipated that any earnings will be retained to finance our future expansion. As we have no plans to issue cash dividends in the future, our common stock could be less desirable to other investors and as a result, the value of our common stock may decline, or fail to reach the valuations of other similarly situated companies who have historically paid cash dividends in the past.
It is more difficult for our shareholders to sell their shares because we may not regain listing on the OTCQB. Also, we may never be, eligible for NASDAQ or any national stock exchange.
We are not presently, nor is it likely that for the foreseeable future we will be, eligible for inclusion in NASDAQ or for listing on any United States national stock exchange. To be eligible to be included in NASDAQ, a company is required to have not less than $4,000,000 in net tangible assets, a public float with a market value of not less than $5,000,000, and a minimum bid price of $4.00 per share. At the present time, we are unable to state when, if ever, we will meet the NASDAQ application standards. Unless we are able to increase our net worth and market valuation substantially, either through the accumulation of surplus out of earned income or successful capital raising financing activities, we will never be able to meet the eligibility requirements of NASDAQ. As a result, it will be more difficult for holders of our common stock to resell their shares to third parties or otherwise, which could have a material adverse effect on the liquidity and market price of our common stock.
Effective August 1, 2018, the Company was downgraded from the OTCQB to the OTC Pink. There is also no assurance as to the depth or liquidity of any such market or the prices at which holders may be able to sell the Shares. An investment in these Shares may be totally illiquid and investors may not be able to liquidate their investment readily or at all when they need or desire to sell.
6
Volatility of stock prices
In the event a public market continues for our Common Stock, market prices will be influenced by many factors, and will be subject to significant fluctuation in response to variations in operating results of the Company and other factors such as investor perceptions of the Company, supply and demand, interest rates, general economic conditions and those specific to the industry, developments with regard to the Company's activities, future financial condition and management.
Canton Investments Ltd. owns indirectly through related parties approximately 60% of our outstanding common stock, and has significant influence over our corporate decisions, and as a result, if you invest in us, your ability to affect corporate decisions will be limited.
Canton Investments Ltd. (“CIL”) holds 97,000 shares of our common stock, representing approximately 60% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Accordingly, CIL will have significant influence in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control even after such conversion and exercise by other investors, as CIL may continue to be our largest shareholder. The interests of CIL may differ from the interests of the other stockholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are adverse to other shareholders. Additionally, potential investors should take into account the fact that any vote of shares purchased will have limited effect on the outcome of corporate decisions.
We may not be able to effectively control and manage our growth, which would negatively impact our operations.
If the Company’s business and markets grow and develop, it will be necessary for us to finance and manage expansion in an orderly fashion. We may face challenges in managing and expanding our business and in integrating any acquired businesses with our own. Such eventualities will increase demands on our existing management, workforce and facilities. Failure to satisfy increased demands could interrupt or adversely affect our operations and cause administrative inefficiencies.
We may be unable to successfully execute any of our identified or other unidentified business opportunities that we determine to pursue.
We currently have a limited operational infrastructure. In order to pursue business opportunities, we will need to build our infrastructure and operational capabilities. Our ability to do any of these successfully could be affected by any one or more of the following factors, among others, our ability to:
—
raise substantial additional capital to fund the implementation of our business plan;
—
execute our business strategy;
—
manage the expansion of our operations and any acquisitions we may make, which could result in increased costs, high employee turnover or damage to customer relationships;
—
attract and retain qualified personnel;
—
manage our third-party relationships effectively; and
—
accurately predict and respond to the rapid technological changes in our industry and the evolving demands of the markets we serve.
The Company’s failure to adequately address any one or more of the above factors could have a significant impact on its ability to implement its business plan and its ability to pursue other opportunities that arise.
Limited liability of Directors and Officers.
The Company has adopted provisions to its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws which limit the liability of its Officers and Directors, and provide for indemnification by the Company of its Officers and Directors to the full extent permitted by Nevada corporate law, which generally provides that its officers and directors shall have no personal liability to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for breaches of their duties of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, acts involving unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or any transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit. Such provisions substantially limit the shareholder's ability to hold officers and directors liable for breaches of fiduciary duty, and may require the Company to indemnify its officers and directors.
7
If the Company decides to operate internationally, there are risks which could adversely affect operating results.
Currently, we have no projects, projections or foreign interest involving international operations. However, the Company may in the future, given the opportunity, decide to pursue projects, business, or otherwise conduct operations internationally. Doing business in foreign countries does subject the Company to additional risks, any of which may adversely impact future operating results, including:
—
international political, economic and legal conditions;
—
our ability to comply with foreign regulations and/or laws affecting operations and projects;
—
difficulties in attracting and retaining staff and business partners to operate internationally;
—
language and cultural barriers;
—
seasonal reductions in business activities and operations in the countries where our international projects are located;
—
integration of foreign operations;
—
potential adverse tax consequences; and
—
potential foreign currency fluctuations.
Factors beyond the control of the Company
Projects for the acquisition and development of the Company’s products are subject to many factors, which are outside our control. These factors include general economic conditions in North America and worldwide (such as recession, inflation, unemployment, and interest rates), competitive products and the regulation by federal and state governmental authorities and regulatory agencies.
Lack of diversification
Because of the limited financial resources that the Company has, we do not currently intend to diversify our operations. Our inability to diversify our activities into more than one area will subject the Company to economic fluctuations and therefore increase the risks associated with the Company’s operations.
If internal control over financial reporting becomes ineffective, our business and future prospects may suffer.
With the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2018 based upon the framework in Internal Control –Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that evaluation, our management has concluded that, as of September 30, 2018, the Company had material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, management identified the following material weaknesses at September 30, 2018.
1.
Lack of oversight by independent directors in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures;
2.
Lack of functioning audit committee, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures;
3.
Insufficient personnel resources within the accounting function to segregate the duties over financial transaction processing and reporting;
4.
Insufficient written policies and procedures over accounting transaction processing and period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.
As a result of the material weakness described above, management has concluded that, as of September 30, 2018, we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, involving the preparation and reporting of our financial statements presented in conformity with GAAP.
8
We understand that remediation of material weaknesses and deficiencies in internal controls is a continuing work in progress due to the issuance of new standards and promulgations. However, remediation of any known deficiency is among our highest priorities. Our management will periodically assess the progress and sufficiency of our ongoing initiatives and make adjustments as and when practical and necessary.
Future changes in financial accounting standards and other applicable regulations by various governmental regulatory agencies may cause lower than expected operating results and affect our reported results of operations.
Changes in accounting standards and their application may have a significant effect on our reported results on a going forward basis and may also affect the recording and disclosure of previously reported transactions. New standards have occurred and will continue to occur in the future.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and various new rules subsequently implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the NASDAQ National Market have imposed additional reporting and corporate governance practices on public companies.
In addition, if we do not adequately continue to comply with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in the future, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent error or fraud, which may result in sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, such as the SEC. Any such action could harm our business, financial results or investors’ confidence in our Company, and could cause our stock price to fall.

Dividend Distributions
We have not historically and do not intend to distribute dividends to stockholders in the foreseeable future.
Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans
The Company does not have any equity compensation plans.
Penny Stock
Our common stock is considered "penny stock" under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market System, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, that:
-
contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of Securities' laws;
-
contains a description of the nature and level of risks in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
10
-
contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
-
contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
-
defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks;
-
and contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation.
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with:
-
bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
-

Plan of Operation
The Company is focused on new investment opportunities which lie in the real estate sector with primary focus on distressed real estate assets and/or alternative real estate developments as well as other technologies in the biotech sector. On July 17, 2018, Alternative Investments Corporation (AIKO) (the “Company”) entered into a binding Term Sheet (“the Agreement”) with Anew Biotechnology Inc., a private company (“ANEW”) to formulate a merger between the two. Under the terms of the Agreement, the parties shall enter into a merger agreement by way of share exchange or asset purchase whereby ANEW would be merged into a newly-formed subsidiary of the Company. The newly configured entity shall bear the name “Anew Biotechnology Inc.”. Upon execution of a Definitive Agreement, Dr. Joseph Sinkule the CEO of ANEW, shall be appointed as CEO, and ANEW shall appoint all other Directors to the Board.
On November 22, 2018, the Company and ANEW mutually agreed to postpone the execution date of the definitive agreement to occur no later than December 31, 2018. The parties further agreed that the closing of the capital raise simultaneous to the merger was to occur on or before January 17, 2019. Both parties continue to work together to close this deal and amend the agreement further to execute the agreement in the Company’s send fiscal quarter of the 2019 fiscal year.
On January 13, 2019, the Company and ANEW mutually agreed to postpone the execution date of the definitive agreement to occur no later than February 28, 2019. The parties further agreed that the closing of the capital raise simultaneous to the merger was to occur on or before March 15, 2019.

Results of Operations
For the Years Ended September 30, 2018 and 2017
Revenues
The Company had no revenue for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.
Operating Expenses
For the year ended September 30, 2018, general and administrative expenses were $386,000 compared to $101,548 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in the current year was due to increased rent of approximately $14,000, stock based compensation of $55,250, increased compensation paid to directors of $54,000, higher legal and accounting fees of approximately $31,600, higher payroll cost of approximately $50,000 offset by lower corporate and compliance cost. Professional fees for the year ended September 30, 2018 were $46,750 and $88,800 for the same period in the prior year. The reduction in fees was due to much lower professional fees paid to consultants in the current year.
Other Income (Expense)
For the year ended September 30, 2018 we incurred $20,050 of interest expense compared to $11,954 for the same period in the prior year. We earned $15,539 of interest income for the year ended September 30, 2018 compared to $18,615 for the same period in the prior year. During the year ended September 30, 2017, recognized a loss of $111,615 due to non-recoverable investments and $310,000 due to a forfeiture of an acquisition deposit. Our net loss to our shareholders for the year ended September 30, 2018 was $452,765 compared to $610,083 for the same period in the prior year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2018, we had cash of $5,620 and a deficit in working capital of $614,216 compared to cash of $10,396 and a working capital deficit of $328,146 at September 30, 2017. We used cash in operating activities of $121,776 and $170,515 for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The principal elements of cash flow used in operations for the year ended September 30, 2018 included a net loss of $452,765, $55,250 of stock-based compensation, a loss due to uncollectability $15,504, increase in accounts payable of $221,631. The principal elements of cash flow used in operations for the year ended September 30, 2017 included a net loss of $610,083, increased by the reduction in prepaids and deposits resulting from the loss in investment in the amount of $310,000, recording of an allowance for doubtful recoverability of an investment, reduction in accrued expenses and payables of $10,120.
For the year ended September 30, 2018, the Company received a repayment of commercial paper in the amount of $100,000. For the year ended September 30, 2017, we had issued an $11,000 loan to an unrelated third party.
Cash generated in our financing activities was $17,000 and $144,483 for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Financing activities for the year ended September 30, 2018 including proceeds of $44,000 in proceeds from notes payable less $27,000 repayments of notes payable. The financing activities for the year ended September 30, 2017 consisted of $145,000 in proceeds for the issuance of notes payable and, offset by $517 in settlement of expenses paid by shareholders.
We do not have sufficient resources to effectuate our business. As of September 30, 2018, we had cash of $5,620.
We will have to raise funds to pay for our expenses. We may have to borrow money from shareholders or issue debt or equity or enter into a strategic arrangement with a third party. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us. We currently have no arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources. Since we have no such arrangements or plans currently in effect, our inability to raise funds for our operations will have a severe negative impact on our ability to remain a viable company.
Going Concern
Our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the accompanying financial statements regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.
12
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred a net loss of $452,765 for the year ended September 30, 2018, had an accumulated deficit of $1,828,065, and has a stockholders’ deficit of $614,216 at September 30, 2018. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The Company is highly dependent on its ability to continue to obtain investment capital and loans from an affiliate and shareholder in order to fund the current and planned operating levels. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to bring in income generating activities and its ability to continue receiving investment capital and loans from an affiliate and shareholder to sustain its current level of operations. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the audited financial statements included elsewhere in this report. The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make significant judgments and estimates. Some accounting policies have a significant impact on amounts reported in these financial statements. Our financial position and results of operations may be materially different when reported under different conditions or when using different assumptions in the application of such policies. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual amounts, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information. Significant accounting policies, including areas of critical management judgments and estimates, include the following:
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets according to the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment”. ASC 360 clarifies the accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of, including the disposal of business segments and major lines of business. Long-lived assets are reviewed when facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. When necessary, impaired assets are written down to estimated fair value based on the best information available. Estimated fair value is generally based on either appraised value or measured by discounting estimated future cash flows. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate discounted future cash flows. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for Stock-Based Compensation under ASC Topic 718-10 (“ASC 718-10”), which addresses the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, with a primary focus on transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. ASC 718-10 is a revision to SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and its related implementation guidance. ASC 718-10 requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). Incremental compensation costs arising from subsequent modifications of awards after the grant date must be recognized. The Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As the Company is a “smaller reporting company,” this item is inapplicable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Alternative Investment Corp
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Alternative Investment Corp as of September 30, 2017, and the related statement of operations, stockholders’ deficiency, and cash flows for the year then ended September 30, 2017. 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 audit 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Alternative Investment Corp as of September 30, 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Alternative Investment Company
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Alternative Investment Company (the Company) as of September 30, 2018, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. 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 audit 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 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 audit, 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 audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Consideration of the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses and has and a stockholders’ deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2018
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS, PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN
Organization
Alternative Investment Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in Nevada on March 26, 2007 under the name of China Digital Ventures Corporation. The principal business of the Company was its web-based telecom and IPTV businesses, both of which were disposed of during the year ended September 30, 2010. As of the date hereof, the Company has no operations.
On July 23, 2010, the Company experienced a change in control. Canton Investments Ltd (“CIL” or “Canton”) acquired a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company in accordance with stock purchase agreements by and between CIL and Wireless One International Limited (“Wireless One”), Bing HE and Ning HE, the Company’s former directors, and other various shareholders. On the closing date, July 23, 2010, pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, CIL purchased from Wireless One and Bing HE and Ning HE 575,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock for $205,750.

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS, PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN (CONTINUED)
Organization (Continued)
On December 1, 2017, the Shareholders of the Corporation voted to elect Mr. Antonio Treminio as Director and CEO of the Company. Mr. Treminio, 46, has over 20 years of experience in the financial markets with special focus on corporate financing for private and public companies.
The Company is focused on new investment opportunities which lie in the real estate sector with primary focus on distressed real estate assets and/or alternative real estate developments as well as other technologies in the biotech sector. On July 17, 2018, Alternative Investments Corporation (AIKO) (the “Company”) entered into a binding Term Sheet (“the Agreement”) with Anew Biotechnology Inc., a private company (“ANEW”) to formulate a merger between the two. Under the terms of the Agreement, the parties shall enter into a merger agreement by way of share exchange or asset purchase whereby ANEW would be merged into a newly-formed subsidiary of the Company. The newly configured entity shall bear the name “Anew Biotechnology Inc.”. Upon execution of a Definitive Agreement, Dr. Joseph Sinkule the CEO of ANEW, shall be appointed as CEO, and ANEW shall appoint all other Directors to the Board.
On November 22, 2018, the Company and ANEW mutually agreed to postpone the execution date of the definitive agreement to occur no later than December 31, 2018. The parties further agreed that the closing of the capital raise simultaneous to the merger was to occur on or before January 17, 2019. Both parties continue to work together to close this deal and amend the agreement further to execute the agreement in the Company’s send fiscal quarter of the 2019 fiscal year.
On January 13, 2019, the Company and ANEW mutually agreed to postpone the execution date of the definitive agreement to occur no later than February 28, 2019. The parties further agreed that the closing of the capital raise simultaneous to the merger was to occur on or before March 15, 2019.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in The United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred net losses of $452,765 and $610,083 for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $1,828,065. The Company had stockholders’ deficit of $614,216 at September 30, 2018. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to develop and sustain a viable business model capable of generating sufficient revenues to support ongoing operations and overhead and to continue to raise investment capital through the sale of Company stock. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include the valuation of share-based payments and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2018
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company had no cash equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC 825 "Financial Instruments" codified Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 107, Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. Unless otherwise indicated, the fair values of all reported assets and liabilities, which represent financial instruments, none of which are held for trading purposes, approximate the carrying values of such amounts. The Company did not have any financial instruments at September 30, 2018 and 2017.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets according to the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360 “Property, Plant and Equipment”. ASC 360 clarifies the accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of, including the disposal of business segments and major lines of business. Long-lived assets are reviewed when facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. When necessary, impaired assets are written down to estimated fair value based on the best information available. Estimated fair value is generally based on either appraised value or measured by discounting estimated future cash flows. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate discounted future cash flows. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.
Accounts payable
The Company accounts for expenses on the accrual basis of accounting under US GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) where expenses are recorded when incurred. Invoices for expense are recorded in the period in which they are incurred and reflected in accounts payable on the balance sheet of the Company. Often expenses should be accounted for prior to an invoice being received. These amounts are reflected in accrued expense in the Company’s financial statements. As of September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company has accrued payables of $195,668 and $49,037, respectively.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for Stock-Based Compensation under ASC Topic 718-10 (“ASC 718-10”), which addresses the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, with a primary focus on transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. ASC 718-10 is a revision to SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and its related implementation guidance. ASC 718-10 requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). Incremental compensation costs arising from subsequent modifications of awards after the grant date must be recognized. The Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.
Issuance of Shares for Services
The Company accounts for the issuance of equity instruments to acquire goods and services based on the fair value of the goods and services or the fair value of the equity instrument at the time of issuance, whichever is more reliably measurable.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2018
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes income (loss) per share in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share", which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares for periods in which the Company incurs losses as their effect is anti-dilutive. As of September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, there were no common share equivalents outstanding which would be deemed as dilutive.
Dividends
The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid during the periods shown.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on the net loss or cash flows of the Company.
Accounting Standards Codification
The FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) became effective on September 15, 2009. At that date, the ASC became the FASB’s officially recognized source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to all public and non-public non-governmental entities, superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”), Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) and related literature. All other accounting literature is considered non-authoritative. The switch to the ASC affects the way companies refer to U.S. GAAP in financial statements and accounting policies. Citing particular content in the ASC involves specifying the unique numeric path to the content through the Topic, Subtopic, Section and Paragraph structure.
NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting” which addresses accounting for issuance of all share-based payments on the same accounting model. Previously, accounting for share-based payments to employees was covered by ASC Topic 718 while accounting for such payments to non-employees was covered by ASC Subtopic 505-50. As it considered recently issued updates to ASC 718, the FASB, as part of its simplification initiatives, decided to replace ASC Subtopic 505-50 with Topic 718 as the guidance for non-employee share-based awards. Under this new guidance, both sets of awards, for employees and non-employees, will essentially follow the same model, with small variations related to determining the term assumption when valuing a non-employee award as well as a different expense attribution model for non-employee awards as opposed to employee awards. The ASU is effective for public business entities beginning in 2019 calendar years and one year later for non-public business entities. The Company is assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on its financial position and results of operations.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases." ASU 2016-02 significantly changes the accounting for leases by requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for leases greater than 12 months on their balance sheet. The lessor model stays substantially the same; however, there were modifications to conform lessor accounting with the lessee model, eliminate real estate specific guidance, further define certain lease and non-lease components, and change the definition of initial direct costs of leases requiring significantly more leasing related costs to be expensed upfront. ASU 2016-02 is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, and we are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on the Company's financial statements. The Company is currently party to a long-term lease that is being considered relative to the adoption of this standard (See NOTE 5).

ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2018
NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The Company has evaluated all other new ASU's issued by FASB, and has concluded that these updates do not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements as of September 30, 2018.
NOTE 4 – LOAN RECEIVABLE
On January 18, 2017, the Company issued a loan to B&B Inc. in the amount of $11,000 at annual rate of eight percent (8%) and was due on July 18, 2018. Accrued interest at September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $1,495 and $615, respectively. As of September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company has fully reserved this loan and accrued interest as doubtful to be collected.
NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTIES
As of September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, $231,973 and $311,973, respectively, was due to Canton. This is an unsecured loan, non-interest bearing and there is no repayment date. Interest has been calculated at an imputed interest rate of 3% and reflected as interest expense and as an increase to additional paid in capital in the amount of $8,158 and $9,304 for the years ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively. On April 1, 2018, Canton elected to convert $80,000 of the amount due into 94,118 common restricted shares of the Company ($0.85 per share). On August 16, 2018, the shares were issued.
On April 1, 2016, the Company issued a loan to Fingi Inc., a company of which Canton may be deemed a controlling person, in the amount of $50,000. The terms include no monthly payments with interest compounding monthly at an annual rate of four percent (4%). The entirety of the accrued interest and principal were originally due on December 31, 2016. Additionally, Fingi Inc. had net related advances to the Company in the amount of $6,509 at September 30, 2018. The note remained in default until November 8, 2017, when the Company entered into an amendment agreement on this note to extend the maturity date to June 30, 2018. At September 30, 2018 and 2017, accrued interest receivable was $5,008 and $3,008, respectively. The Company does not believe that it will be able to recover these amounts due and they have been fully reserved for uncollectability and recorded as a capital distribution.
On February 2, 2016, the Company entered into an expense sharing agreement with Fingi Inc. Under the expense sharing agreement, the Company shares the rent and utility expenses incurred in connection with occupancy of office space that is being leased by Fingi Inc. During the year ended September 30, 2018, amount due for rent was $5,684 per month. For the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 rent and utilities expenses amounted to $72,927 and $54,421, respectively. The rent due under expense sharing agreement for future periods is as follows:

As of September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company had a liability due to its Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, Daniel Otazo in the amount of $6,000. The amount was reflected in accounts payable on the Company’s financial statements. Amounts are due under a compensation for services provided agreement.

As of September 30, 2018, the Company had a liability due to its Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, Daniel Otazo in the amount of $24,051.

NOTE 8 – INVESTMENT IN COMMERCIAL PAPER
On June 8, 2015 and July 3, 2015, respectively, the Company invested into two $100,000 two-year convertible bonds from Bullion Japan Inc. each of those two days for a total investment of $200,000. The bonds matured July 3, 2017 and June 8, 2017, respectively, earning interest at eight percent (8%) per annum paid quarterly, and are convertible into common stock of Bullion Japan Inc. at the Company’s option any time prior to the maturity date at a price of JPY ¥8,035 ($6.46) per share.
On December 15, 2017, the Company entered into a memorandum of agreement to extend maturity date of the July 3, 2015 bond to March 30, 2018. The same terms as the original agreement will prevail and the Company will continue to accrue interest. As of September 30, 2018, the Company has recorded an allowance for the unrecoverability of this investment in the amount of $100,000.
On December 28, 2017, Bullion Japan paid accrued interest through April 2018 in the amount of $33,160. Bullion Japan Inc. further paid the principal of $100,000 relative to the June 8, 2015 note on that same day. Upon payment accrued interest was $28,624. As a result of this payment in excess of accrued interest the Company recorded deferred interest revenue in the amount of $4,356. At September 30, 2018 all deferred revenue was recognized.
NOTE 9 – STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
The Company has authorized 1,600,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value.

NOTE 9 – STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT (CONTINUED)
During the year ended September 30, 2018, the Company received a conversion notice pursuant to a direct payment, non-interest bearing arrangement with no repayment date, recorded in accounts payable on the Company’s balance sheet, whereby the noteholder elected to convert $75,000 of the amount due into 88,235 common shares of the Company’s restricted stock ($0.85 per share).
During the year ended September 30, 2018, the Company entered into or amended compensation agreements with two consultants and one employee to issue 65,000 common restricted shares of Company stock at a value of $55,250 ($0.85 per share).
NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES
No provision was made for income taxes for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 as the Company had incurred net losses for tax purposes of $452,765 and $610,083, respectively.
Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes. The components of the net deferred income tax assets are approximately as follows:
Deferred income tax assets: | September 30, 2018 |
| September 30, 2017 | ||
Net operating loss carry forwards | $ | 361,200 |
| $ | 425,000 |

Valuation allowance |
| (361,200) |
|
| (262,500) |
Net deferred income tax assets | $ | – |
| $ | – |
The Company has established a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax asset because of a lack of sufficient positive evidence to support its realization. The valuation allowance increased by $98,700 and $123,500 for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
At September 30, 2018, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $1,700,000 which will fully expire with the tax year ending September 30, 2037. For tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the carry-back option is no longer available and carry forward provisions are limited to eighty percent of taxable income but do not expire. The potential tax benefit of these losses may be limited due to certain change in ownership provisions under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRS”) and similar state provisions.
On December 22, 2017, Public Law 115-97, informally referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the TCJA”) was enacted into law. The TCJA provides for significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, that impact corporate taxation requirements. Effective January 1, 2018, the federal tax rate for corporations was reduced from 35% to 21% for US taxable income and requires one-time re-measurement of deferred taxes to reflect their value at a lower tax rate of 21%. Also, mandatory repatriation of untaxed foreign earnings and profits will be taxed at 15.5% to the extent the underlying assets are liquid and 8% on the remaining balance. There are other provisions to the TCJA, such as conversion of a worldwide system to a territorial system, limitations on interest expense and domestic production deductions, which will be effective in fiscal year 2019. The Company anticipates its effective tax rate to be 28% to 30%, excluding the one-time impact of the TCJA for fiscal year 2018 primarily due to the reduction in the federal tax rate. The Company’s actual effective tax rate for fiscal year 2018 may differ from management’s estimate due to changes in interpretations and assumptions. Due to the timing of enactment and complexity of the TCJA, the Company is unable to estimate a reasonable range of the one-time impact associated with mandatory repatriation, re-measurement of deferred taxes and other provisions of the TCJA.
IRS Section 382 places limitations (the “Section 382 Limitation”) on the amount of taxable income which can be offset by net operating loss carry forwards after a change in control (generally greater than 50% change in ownership) of a loss corporation. Generally, after a change in control, a loss corporation cannot deduct operating loss carry forwards in excess of the Section 382 Limitation. Due to these “change in ownership” provisions, utilization of the net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards may be subject to an annual limitation regarding their utilization against taxable income in future periods. The Company has not concluded its analysis of Section 382 through September 30, 2018 but believes the provisions will not limit the availability of losses to offset future income.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Securities and Exchange Commission defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” to mean a company's controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its chief executive and chief financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company maintains such a system of controls and procedures in an effort to ensure that all information which it is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the SEC's rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to chief executive and chief financial officers to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of such date.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The management of the Company is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and related financial information appearing in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The financial statements and notes have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The management of the Company is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. A company's internal control over financial reporting is defined 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. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
—
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets;
—
Provide reasonable assurance that our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
—
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company's disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Further, over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
With the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2018 based upon the framework in Internal Control –Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on that evaluation, our management has concluded that, as of September 30, 2018, the Company had material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, management identified the following material weaknesses at September 30, 2018:
1. Lack of oversight by independent directors in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures;
15
2. Lack of functioning audit committee, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures;
3. Insufficient personnel resources within the accounting function to segregate the duties over financial transaction processing and reporting;
4. Insufficient written policies and procedures over accounting transaction processing and period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.
As a result of the material weakness described above, management has concluded that, as of September 30, 2018, we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, involving the preparation and reporting of our financial statements presented in conformity with GAAP.
We understand that remediation of material weaknesses and deficiencies in internal controls is a continuing work in progress due to the issuance of new standards and promulgations. However, remediation of any known deficiency is among our highest priorities. Our management will periodically assess the progress and sufficiency of our ongoing initiatives and make adjustments as and when practical and necessary.
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 the rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than items noted above, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information.
None.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Nevada Corporation Law allows for the indemnification of officers, directors, and any corporate agents in terms sufficiently broad to indemnify such persons under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement for expenses, incurred arising under the 1933 Act. The Bylaws of the Company provide that the Company will indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by law and such right to indemnification will continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Company and will inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and Consultants; provided, however, that, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Company will not be obligated to indemnify any director or officer in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors. The right to indemnification conferred will include the right to be paid by the Company the expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition.
17
The Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Company similar to those conferred to directors and officers of the Company. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses are subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act to the extent applicable.
Furthermore, the Company may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or another company against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Nevada General Corporation Law.

Code of Ethics
We do not currently have a Code of Ethics because we have limited business operations and only two officers/directors on the Board. We believe a code of ethics would have limited utility at this stage. We intend to adopt such code of ethics that would cover our business as soon as possible.
