Note 1 – Nature of Business, Presentation and Going Concern

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
March 31, 2017
(unaudited)
Note 1 – Nature of Business, Presentation and Going Concern (Continued)
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statement presentation and in accordance with Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required in annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the condensed financial position and results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position at March 31, 2017 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, have been made.
These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with our 2016 annual financial statements included in our Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on January 13, 2017.
Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 $480,098 for the six months ended March 31, 2017 and has incurred cumulative losses since inception of $1,245,315. The Company has a stockholders’ deficit of $193,478 at March 31, 2017. 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 abilities to generate revenues, to continue to raise investment capital, and develop and implement its business plan. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.
The unaudited condensed 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 – Related Party Transactions
As of March 31, 2017 and September 30, 2016, $311,973 was due to Canton. The loan is unsecured, non-interest bearing and there is no repayment date. Interest has been calculated at imputed interest rate of 3% and amounted to $2,342 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and $4,648 for the six month ended March 31, 2017.
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. The company is currently in negotiations to extend the loan agreement, to be paid within one year, as such an allowance for the $50,000 loan balance has not been recorded and is deemed collectible. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2017, $515 and $1,027, respectively, has been recognized as interest income and included in accompanying condensed statements of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources during the Six Months Ended March 31, 2017 compared to the Six Months ended March 31, 2016
We used cash for operating activities of $206,830 and $97,396 for the six months ended March 31, 2017, and 2016, respectively. The elements of cash flow used in operations for the six months ended March 31, 2017 included a net loss of $480,098, offset by a loss of $310,000 on the acquisition deposit, accretion of interest in amounts due to shareholder of $4,684.

The elements of cash flow used in operations for the six months ended March 31, 2016 included a net loss of $108,069 offset by an increase in net operating assets and liabilities of $10,673.

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
Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2016 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.
Our unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
There is no assurance that our operations will be profitable. Our continued existence and plans for future growth depend on our ability to obtain the additional capital necessary to operate either through the generation of revenue or the issuance of additional debt or equity.
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.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experiences and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, actual results may differ from these estimates under different future conditions.

| (a) | Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures |
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by the Company's management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act")) as of March 31, 2017. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
