About our Claims
The Company no longer has any mining Assets. All mining claims and assets were disposed of and or transferred in exchange of the cancellation of Convertible Notes held by various Note Holders.
About our Online Social Gaming Technology
GMGI has changed the direction of the Company business to focus on software technology.
Whilst there are a number of companies that provide similar products for social online gaming operators, the Company has unique IP and is focused on the Asian market. The unique technology, Company’s location, focused resources and experience in this market provide the Company with a distinct advantage over other companies located in other parts of the world and having limited experience in Asia.
Competition
Our primary competition is expected from overseas based online gaming technology companies. With few exceptions, significant listed gaming companies (many of which are listed on the London Stock Exchange) operate using their own software. As an independent online gaming technology provider, we believe that we retain the ability to utilize the most profitable platform available and are not restricted to a single platform. Additionally, by ensuring that we operate in compliance with U.S. laws, we believe that in the event of legalized gaming in the U.S., we would not be precluded from taking advantage of U.S.-based gaming.
Employees
As of the date of this report, we have no employees other than our directors. We currently conduct our business using the services of consultants and outside contractors. We do not intend to have any material change in the number of employees over the next 12 months. Where possible, we intend to conduct our business largely through consultants on a contract and fee for service basis.
Available Information
All reports of the Company filed with the SEC are available free of charge through the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the public may read and copy materials filed by the Company at the SEC’s Public Reference Room located at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549.

During Financial year 2018, the Company recognized the value of stock options granted to consultants in terms of the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan as cost of goods sold. This recognition was based on the fact that the Stock Options directly contributed to the revenue generated by the Company’s GM2 asset.

During the six months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, amortization expenses were $392,101 and $114,180, respectively. The increased amortization expense was due to stock options granted to Anthony Brian Goodman and Weiting Feng on September 16, 2019 in terms of the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan.

The Company had a net working capital (difference between current assets and current liabilities) of $2,473,198 as of January 31, 2020, compared to a net working capital of $1,178,328 as of July 31, 2019.
Cash provided by operating activities was $986,723, $1,451,934 and $302,716 for the six months ended January 31, 2020, and the years ended July 31, 2019 and 2018. The increase in cash provided in operations was primarily attributable to the revenues generated and collected from our customers.
Cash used in financing activities was $861,313 and $167,420 for the six months ended January 31, 2020 and year ended July 31, 2019, and cash provided by financing activities was $118,698 for the year ended July 31, 2018. The cash outflow from financing activities was mainly used to settle loans owed to Luxor and LG Capital Funding.
There were no investing activities for the six months ended January 31, 2020 and years ended July 31, 2019 and 2018.
Our primary uses of cash have been for fees paid to third parties for professional services, advertising expense, general and administrative expenses and loan repayment. We have received funds from licensing revenues and from various financing activities such as from the sale of our common shares and from debt financings.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect our liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Golden Matrix Group, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Golden Matrix Group, Inc. (the Company) as of January 31, 2020 and July 31, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the six-months ended January 31, 2020 and the years ended July 31, 2019 and 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 January 31, 2020 and July 31, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the six-months ended January 31, 2020 and the years ended July 31, 2019 and 2018, 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 audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continues as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered significant net losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are discussed in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
M&K CPAS, PLLC.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2017.

GOLDEN MATRIX GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Golden Matrix Group, Inc. (“GMGI” or “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 4, 2008, under the name Ibex Resources Corp. The Company business at the time was mining and exploration of mineral properties. On August 31, 2009, the Company changed its name to Source Gold Corp. in order to reflect the focus of the Company. In April 2016, the Company changed its name to Golden Matrix Group, Inc., reflected the changing direction of the Company business to software technology. GMGI has a global presence with offices in Las Vegas Nevada and Sydney Australia. GMGI’s sophisticated social gaming software supports multiple languages including English and Chinese.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of GMGI have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of GMGI 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 suffered significant net losses from operations in prior periods and had an accumulated deficit of $25,470,961 as of January 31, 2020. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. During the six months, the Company has generated a net profit of $966,774. The management plans to expand the customer base globally and to integrate additional operators, launch additional synergistic products and appoint more distributors to keep the growth of revenues. As such, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF 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 at the date of the balance sheet. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include contingent liability, stock-based compensation, warrant valuation and collectability of accounts receivable. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Allowance for doubtful accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects our best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. The Company determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence. As of January 31, 2020 and July 31, 2019, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $179,396 and $168,557, respectively. As of January 31, 2020, the Company had a gross accounts receivable from a related party, Globaltech Software Services LLC, in the amount of $10,839. This amount was due over one year and the Company has recorded an allowance for doubtful debt for the total account of $10,839. As of July 31 2019, the Company had a gross accounts receivable of $433,115 for Red Label Technology Pty Ltd. Whilst management is confident that Red Label Technology will settle the debt, the Company has recorded an allowance for doubtful debt in the amount of $168,557.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Derivative Instruments
We review the terms of the note we issue to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options, which are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments. In circumstances where the host instrument contains embedded derivative instrument, including the conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated. The bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.
Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or expense. The fair value of the derivative liability was calculated using Black-Sholes Model.
Contingent Liabilities
We record contingent liabilities when we believe that it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. We review these provisions quarterly and adjust these provisions accordingly to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information.
Debt Discount
Debt discount is amortized over the term of the related debt using the effective interest rate method.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-tier fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
| · | Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; |
|
|
|
| · | Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and |
|
|
|
| · | Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
Our financial instruments include cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable, convertible notes payable, advances from shareholder, and derivative liabilities. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. The derivative liabilities are stated at their fair value as a level 3 measurement. The Company used a Black-Scholes model to determine the fair values of these derivative liabilities.

Share-Based Compensation
The Stock-based compensation expense is recorded as a result of stock options granted in return for services rendered. Previously, the share-based payment arrangements with employees were accounted for under ASC 718, while nonemployee share-based payments issued for goods and services are accounted for under ASC 505-50. ASC 505-50 differs significantly from ASC 718. On June 20, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under the ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees. The Company has adopted the new standard and has made some adjustment with regard to the share-based compensation costs. Under the ASU 2018-07, the measurement of equity-classified nonemployee share-based payments is generally fixed on the grant date. And the options are no longer revalued on each reporting date. The expenses related to the share-based compensation are recognized on each reporting date. The amount is calculated as the difference between total expenses incurred and the total expenses already recognized.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carry-forwards 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. The effect of a change in tax rules on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in operations in the year of change. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely-than-not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic net earnings (loss) per common share are computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings (loss) per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of outstanding convertible securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the if-converted method.

Revenues Recognition
Effective August 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company recognizes revenue from licensing agreements by applying the following steps:
1. Step 1: Identify the contract with a customer.
2. Step 2: Identify the separate performance obligations in the contract.
3. Step 3: Determine the transaction price.
4. Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations in the contract.
5. Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
For the comparative periods, revenue has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 – Revenue Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable.
There was no impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of adopting Topic 606 for the six months ended January 31, 2020.
Subsequent Events
GMGI evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued for disclosure purposes.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) on the balance sheet as a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee¹s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted. The new standard is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is effectively now evaluating the impact of the new pronouncement on its financial statements.
23 |
Table of Contents |
On June 20, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. Under the ASU, most of the guidance on such payments to nonemployees would be aligned with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees.
For public business entities (PBEs), the amendments in ASU 2018-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted if financial statements have not yet been issued (for PBEs), but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of ASC 606. If early adoption is elected, all amendments in the ASU that apply must be adopted in the same period. In addition, if early adoption is elected in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period.
The Company has adopted the ASU 2018-07 and has adjusted the share-based compensation costs. The management believes the new standard can best represent the company’s operating results.
The Company does not believe that any other recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
NOTE 4- ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE –RELATED PARTY
Accounts receivable-related party are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. Trade accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. The Company has accounts receivable from two related parties: Articulate Pty Ltd and Globaltech Software Services LLC. As of January 31, 2020, the Company has $1,058,874 gross receivable from Articulate and $10,839 gross receivable from Globaltech. The accounts receivable from Globaltech Software Services LLC was due over one year, so the Company recorded an allowance for the total amount of $10,839. In total, the Company has account receivable net of allowance from related parties of $1,058,874 and $1,009,397 as of January 31, 2020 and July 31, 2019, respectively.

On March 19, 2012, the Company received $30,000 cash from the issuance of a convertible promissory note in the amount of $30,000. The promissory note is unsecured, interest free and repayable upon demand.
The note may be converted at the option of the holder into Common stock of the Company. The fixed conversion price is $0.01 per share. Accordingly the note may be converted into 3,000,000 common shares of the Company.
24 |
Table of Contents |
The Company determined that this Promissory note should be accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC 470-20 which addresses “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features”. The beneficial conversion feature is calculated at its intrinsic value (that is, the difference between the conversion price $0.01 and the fair value of the common stock into which the debt is convertible at the commitment date (per share being $0.08), multiplied by the number of shares into which the debt is convertible. The valuation of the beneficial conversion feature recorded cannot be greater than the face value of the note issued. As of January 31, 2020, debt discount balance $0 was recorded.
On August 1, 2019, the Company, Pursuant to Chapter 104 - Uniform Commercial Code—Original Articles, NRS 104.3603 - Tender of payment. NV Rev Stat § 104.3603 (2013) and other applicable law, issued a Notice of Tender to Greenshoe by a registered letter. The Company is tendering payment in full of the currently outstanding balance of the Note, in the amount of $30,000. Such tender of payment by the Company to Greenshoe is in full discharge of the Company’s obligations under the Note #2. The registered letter has been returned to us as the registered address they provided is not available. The Company is now seeking legal opinions to address the liability.
As of January 31, 2020, principal of this note was $30,000 with no interests accrued.
Convertible Note #59
On July 31, 2015 the Company entered into a Convertible Promissory Note with Direct Capital Group, Inc. in the sum of $240,000. The promissory note is unsecured, bears interest at 8% per annum, and matures on January 31, 2016. Any principal amount not paid by the maturity date bears interest at 22% per annum.
On April 26, 2016, $50,000 was reassigned to Blackbridge Capital, LLC (“Blackbridge”). Blackbridge failed to meet terms of the Assignment and Assumption and were therefore in default of their obligations. The Company took legal advice regarding the breach of Blackbridge Capital LLC’s obligations. On the June 2, 2016, the Company’s legal counsel, wrote to Blackbridge Capital advising them of the breach and also that the Company had cancelled the remaining balance on the note. The Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt $47,151.
On July 21, 2016, $25,000 was reassigned to Istvan Elek. At any time the note may be converted at the option of the holder into Common stock of the Company. The conversion price is 50% of the market price, where market price is defined as “the lowest closing price on any day with a fifteen day look back”.
On September 22, 2016, the Company entered into a Cancellation and Release Agreement with Direct Capital Group, Inc. (“Direct”). In terms of Cancellation and Release Agreement, Direct agreed to cancel the convertible promissory note with the Company totaling $183,157. In consideration for the cancellation of the convertible promissory notes and in terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement dated February 22, 2016, the Company has agreed to transfer ownership of mining claims held in the Company’s name. It was also agreed by both the Company and Direct that Direct shall release all future claims to subsequent conversions of the Notes and the Company will have no further obligation to Direct under those Convertible Notes and Direct shall be forever barred from seeking further conversions or claiming obligations of the Company under the Convertible Notes. The Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $165,000 related to the agreement.
On August 1, 2019, the Company, Pursuant to Chapter 104 - Uniform Commercial Code—Original Articles, NRS 104.3603 - Tender of payment. NV Rev Stat § 104.3603 (2013) and other applicable law, issued a Notice of Tender to Istvan Elek by a registered letter. The Company is tendering payment in full of the currently outstanding balance of the Note, in the amount of $12,424. Such tender of payment by the Company to Istvan Elek is in full discharge of the Company’s obligations under the Note #59. The registered letter has been received by the counter party but the Company has not received any responses from Istvan Elek. The Company is now seeking legal opinions to address the liability.

Loans from Shareholders
During the year ended July 31, 2016 and, the Company received a loan of $1,000 from its officer to open a new bank account. As of January 31, 2020, the balance of the loan was $1,000. The loan from the officer is due on demand, unsecured with no interest.
Settlement Payable – Related Party
On March 1, 2016 the Company entered into a convertible promissory note with Luxor Capital, LLC in the amount of $2,374,712. The promissory note is unsecured, bears interest at 6% per annum, and matures on March 1, 2017.
Upon the holder’s option to convert becoming active the Company recorded a debt discount and derivative liability of $1,662,243 being the fair value of the conversion feature which was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model based on the stock price of $0.2985, exercise price of $0.4264, time to maturity of 1 year and expected volatility of 1557%. The debt discount is accreted to the statement of operations using the effective interest rate method over the term of the note or to the date of conversion, and the derivative liability is revalued at each reporting date to fair value.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
There have been no changes in or disagreements with our accountants on accounting and financial disclosure during the two fiscal years through to the date of this Report.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the year ended July 31, 2019 covered by this Form 10-K. Based upon such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as required under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The management of the Company is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and related financial information appearing in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; |
| ▪ | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and |
| ▪ | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the 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 January 31, 2020 based upon the framework in Internal Control –Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO 2013). Based on that evaluation, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of January 31, 2020. The Company had material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, management identified the following material weaknesses at January 31, 2020 :
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 and to allow for proper monitoring controls over accounting; |
4. | Insufficient written policies and procedures over accounting transaction processing and period end financial disclosure and reporting processes: |
5. | The company did not establish a formal written policy for the approval, identification and authorization of related party transactions. |
36 |
Table of Contents |
To remediate our internal control weaknesses, management intends to implement the following measures:
| ▪ | The Company will add sufficient number of independent directors to the board and appoint an audit committee. |
| ▪ | The Company will add sufficient knowledgeable accounting personnel to properly segregate duties and to effect a timely, accurate preparation of the financial statements. |
| ▪ | Upon the hiring of additional accounting personnel, the Company will develop and maintain adequate written accounting policies and procedures. |
We understand that remediation of material weaknesses and deficiencies in internal controls are 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 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 rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report. On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Included in the Act is a provision that permanently exempts smaller public companies that qualify as either a Non-Accelerated Filer or Smaller Reporting Company from the auditor attestation requirement of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no 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.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
The Company’s management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of the control system must reflect that there are resource constraints and that the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
As of January 31, 2020, the Company did not establish a formal written policy for the approval, identification and authorization of related party transactions
None.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Delaware 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.
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 Delaware General Corporation Law.
Significant Employees and Consultants
We have no employees other than our executive officer. We do not intend any material change in the number of employees over the next 12 month. We are conducting and intend to conduct our business largely through professionals and consultants on an as needed contract basis.
Conflicts of Interest
Although Mr. Goodman and Ms. Feng work with other technology companies, and we do not have written procedures in place to address conflicts of interest that may arise between our business and the future business activities of Messrs. Goodman and Miss Feng, we do adhere to requirements that any deemed conflict is discussed at Board of Director meetings and with the Companies Legal Council and any such discussions will be reflected in the Board of Directors minutes.
Committees of the Board of Directors
We do not have any separately constituted committees.
Audit & Risk Management Committee
We do not have a separately constituted Audit & Risk management Committee. The Board has determined that because of the small size of the Board, Directors would comprise the Audit and Risk Management Committee.
