Other income (expense) consisted of the change of fair value of derivative instruments and interest. Other income (expense) during the three months ended May 31, 2019 and May 31, 2018, was $1,019,660 and $15,966,954, respectively. The $14,947,294 decrease in other income was primarily attributable to the change in the fair value of derivatives, interest expense, including interest expense related to derivative liability in excess of the face value of debt) and loss on settlement of debt. Fair value of derivatives was largely affected by the decrease in the market price of the Company’s common stock during the current period.
We had net income of $690,606 for the three months ended May 31, 2019, compared to net income of $14,877,911 for the three months ended May 31, 2018. The change is primarily the result of the change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities and other items discussed above.
Management believes that we will continue to incur losses for the immediate future. Therefore, we will need additional equity or debt financing until we can achieve profitability and positive cash flows from operating activities, if ever. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include and adjustments relating to the recovery of assets or the classification of liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. For the three months ended May 31, 2019, we have generated revenue and are trying to achieve positive cash flows from operations.
As of May 31, 2019, we had a cash balance of $21,333, accounts receivable of $48,987 and $14,057,239 in current liabilities. At the current cash consumption rate, we will need to consider additional funding sources going forward. We are taking proactive measures to reduce operating expenses and drive growth in revenue.
The successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and there is no assurance that, if achieved, we will have sufficient funds to execute our intended business plan or generate positive operating results.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of May 31, 2019. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of May 31, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
| | |
| 1. | As of May 31, 2019, we did not maintain effective controls over our control environment. Specifically, we have not developed and effectively communicated to our employees our accounting policies and procedures. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness. |
| | |
| 2. | As of May 31, 2019, we did not maintain effective controls over financial statement disclosure. Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness. |
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, who is the same person, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to 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, have been detected.
Change in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
