GAWK INCORPORATED
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
October 31, 2017
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Gawk Incorporated (“we”, “our”, the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on January 6, 2011 with principal business address at 5300 Melrose Avenue, Suite 42, Los Angeles, CA. The Company offers a suite of cloud communications, cloud connectivity, cloud computing, and managed cloud-based applications solutions to small, medium, and large businesses; and offers domestic and international voice services to communications carriers worldwide. It offers a suite of advanced data center and cloud-based services managed network services that converge voice and data applications.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has a deficiency in equity of $26,025,164, a working capital deficit of $10,040,325, and an accumulated deficit of $30,351,938.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations, continued contributions from the Company’s executive officers to finance its operations and the ability to obtain additional funding sources to explore potential strategic relationships and to provide capital and other resources for the further development and marketing of the Company’s products and business.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation of Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended October 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending January 31, 2018. Notes to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2017 have been omitted. This report should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2017 included in the Company’s Form 10-K/A as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 24, 2017.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and (iii) the reported amount of net revenues and expenses recognized during the periods presented. Adjustments made with respect to the use of estimates often relate to improved information not previously available. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of financial statements; accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. We currently have no investments accounted for using the equity or cost methods of accounting.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
Revenue Recognition
The Company pursues opportunities to realize revenues from consulting services. It is the company’s policy that revenues and gains will be recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 605-10-25, “Revenue Recognition.” Under ASC Topic 605-10-25, revenue earning activities are recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
Our Business Services revenue includes monthly recurring charges (“MRC”) to customers, for whom charges are contracted over a specified period of time, and variable usage fees charged to customers that purchase our business products and services. Revenue recognition commences after the provisioning, testing and acceptance of the service by the customer. MRCs continue until the expiration of the contract, or until cancellation of the service by the customer. To the extent that payments received from a customer are related to a future period, the payment is recorded as deferred revenue until the service is provided or the usage occurs.
Our Carrier Services revenue is primarily derived from usage fees charged to other carriers that terminate voice traffic over our network. Variable revenue is earned based on the length of a call, as measured by the number of minutes of duration. It is recognized upon completion of the call, and is adjusted to reflect the allowance for billing adjustments. Revenue for each customer is calculated from information received through our network switches. Our customized software tracks the information from the switches and analyzes the call detail records against stored detailed information about revenue rates. This software provides us with the ability to complete a timely and accurate analysis of revenue earned in a period. We believe that the nature of this process is such that recorded revenues are unlikely to be revised in future periods.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The fair value of an embedded conversion option that is convertible into a variable amount of shares and warrants that include price protection reset provision features are deemed to be “down-round protection” and, therefore, do not meet the scope exception for treatment as a derivative under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”, since “down-round protection” is not an input into the calculation of the fair value of the conversion option and warrants and cannot be considered “indexed to the Company’s own stock” which is a requirement for the scope exception as outlined under ASC 815.
The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the embedded conversion option and warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was used to estimate the fair value of the embedded conversion options and warrants. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time, of our common stock, equal to the weighted average life of the options.
Conversion options are recorded as debt discount and are amortized as interest expense over the life of the underlying debt instrument.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and debt. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate their respective estimated fair value due to the short-term maturities and approximate market interest rates of these instruments.
The Company adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC Topic 820”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard provides a consistent definition of fair value which focuses on an exit price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standard also prioritizes, within the measurement of fair value, the use of market-based information over entity specific information and establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based on the nature of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.
The three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements is defined as follows:
| · | Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; liabilities in active markets; |
| · | Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability other than quoted prices, either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active; or directly or indirectly including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active; |
| · | Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement |
The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at October 31, 2017 and January 31, 2017 for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”). Topic 606 removes inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements, provides a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets, provides more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements and simplifies the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. The guidance in this update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. In August 2015, ASU 2015-14 was issued which delayed the effective date for public entities to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this new standard.

Table of Contents |
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which clarifies the guidance in the new revenue standard on assessing whether an entity is a principal or an agent in a revenue transaction. This conclusion impacts whether an entity reports revenue on a gross or net basis. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which clarifies the guidance in the new revenue standard regarding an entity’s identification of its performance obligations in a contract, as well as an entity’s evaluation of the nature of its promise to grant a license of intellectual property and whether or not that revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow- Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients which amends the guidance in the new revenue standard on collectability, noncash consideration, presentation of sales tax, and transition. The amendments are intended to address implementation issues and provide additional practical expedients to reduce the cost and complexity of applying the new revenue standard. These amendments have the same effective date as the new revenue standard. While we are currently evaluating the method of adoption and the impact of the new revenue standard, as amended, on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures, we believe the adoption of the new standard may have a significant impact on the accounting for certain transactions with multiple elements or “bundled” arrangements because the requirement to have VSOE for undelivered elements under current accounting standards is eliminated under the new standard. Accordingly, we may be required to recognize as revenue a portion of the sales price upon delivery of the software, as compared to the current requirement of recognizing the entire sales price ratably over an estimated offering period. We continue to evaluate the impact of the new revenue standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which amends the guidance on measuring credit losses on financial assets held at amortized cost. The amendment is intended to address the issue that the previous “incurred loss” methodology was restrictive for Company’s ability to record credit losses based on not yet meeting the “probable” threshold. The new language will require these assets to be valued at amortized cost presented at the net amount expected to be collected will a valuation provision. The amendments will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We are evaluating the impact of this amendment on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The guidance would require lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as lease liabilities with corresponding right –of-use assets. The guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements

Notes in Default
Certain convertible notes held by the company are in default. During the three month period ended July 31, 2017, the Company did not maintain the covenant requiring the Company to be current with all financial filings. As a result of the breach, the convertible debentures are due on demand. No demand for payment has been made as at October 31, 2017. The terms of default for notes are as follows:
| · | Default interest rates ranging from 20% to 24 % |
| · | The Conversion Price discount for certain notes shall be permanently increased by 10% |
| · | The Company shall pay an amount equal to the greater of |
|
|
|
| o | (i) 150% times the sum of the outstanding principal amount of certain Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Notes to the date of payment (the “Mandatory Prepayment Date”) plus Default Interest. |
| o | (ii) the “parity value” of the Default Sum to be prepaid, where parity value means (a) the highest number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to such Default Sum treating the Trading Day immediately preceding the Mandatory Prepayment Date as the “Conversion Date” for purposes of determining the lowest applicable Conversion Price, unless the Default Event arises as a result of a breach in respect of a specific Conversion Date in which case such Conversion Date shall be the Conversion Date, multiplied by (b) the highest Closing Price for the Common Stock during the period beginning on the date of first occurrence of the Event of Default and ending one day prior to the Mandatory Prepayment Date |
During the three and nine months ended October 31, 2017, the Company recorded default penalty interest of $15,050 and $348,879 (2016: $nil).
The unamortized debt discount has been accelerated and recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and loss. The Company recognized amortization expense related to the debt discount and deferred financing fees of $1,155,612 and $835,664 for the nine months ended October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Promissory Note - August 22, 2014
In connection with the settlement agreement entered into with Doyle Knudson, an investor, in 2014, the Company issued a $1.8 million convertible promissory note with a fixed conversion price of $0.10 per share or 18,000,000 shares of common stock. The note is subject to annual interest of 10%, matured in August 2015 and is currently past due. In May and December 2015, a total of $100,000 note principal was transferred to another lender.
The Company initially recorded a discount on the convertible note due to a beneficial conversion feature of $358,200 and fully amortized for the year ended January 31, 2016. Due to the variable conversion rates in the other convertible notes (see below), the $1,700,000 balance of the note became tainted and the embedded fixed conversion option was bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative liability.

As a result of replacement of notes during the nine months ended October 31, 2017, the Company recognized gain on settlement of debt of $166,975.
NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
The Company analyzed the conversion option for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and hedging, and determined that the instrument should be classified as a liability since the conversion option becomes effective at issuance resulting in there being no explicit limit to the number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above conversion options.
ASC 815 requires we assess the fair market value of derivative liability at the end of each reporting period and recognize any change in the fair market value as other income or expense item.
The Company determined our derivative liabilities to be a Level 3 fair value measurement and used the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value as of October 31, 2017. The Black-Scholes model requires six basic data inputs: the exercise or strike price, time to expiration, the risk-free interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate. Changes to these inputs could produce a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The fair value of each convertible note is estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in the October 31, 2017 and January 31, 2017:

Cost of revenue decreased by $36,887 or 1% for the nine months ended October 31, 2017, from $3,210,305 for the nine months ended October 31, 2016.
General and administrative expenses decreased by $94,635 or 5% for the nine months ended October 31, 2017, from $1,917,697 for the nine months ended October 31, 2016. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily related staff reduction associated with the completion of new product software development.

Depreciation and amortization expenses were $451,521 from $559,866 for the nine months ended October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased in 2017, due to the impairment of customer list in Net D.
Net loss
For the nine months ended October 31, 2017, the Company had a net loss of $3,990,623, as compared to a net loss for the nine months ended October 31, 2016 of $2,539,909. The increase in net loss is primarily due to increase in interest expense and loss of change in fair value of derivative liabilities.

As of October 31, 2017 and January 31, 2017 our cash was $61,302 and $133,249, respectively. The Company does not believe its existing balances of cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to satisfy its working capital needs, capital asset purchases, outstanding commitments and other liquidity requirements associated with its existing operations over the 12 months.
As of October 31, 2017, we experienced a decrease in working capital of $2,781,697 or 38%, as compared to January 31, 2017. The decrease in working capital during October 31, 2017 was primarily from increased in convertible notes, notes payable, derivative liabilities and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Current assets decreased primarily due to reduced cash and marketable securities as of October 31, 2017. The increase in current liabilities by $2,641,864 was primarily due to an increase in convertible notes, notes payable, derivative liabilities and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Cash flows used in operating activities. The increase in cash flows used in operating activities was primarily attributable to non-cash adjustments, primarily from an amortization of debt discount, change in derivative liability and default penalty.
Cash flows from investing activities. Cash provided by investing activities were $73,728 from sales of intangible assets for the nine months ended October 31, 2017. Cash provided by investing activities were $397 from an acquisition of XTELUS for the nine months ended October 31, 2016.
Cash flows from financing activities. Cash provided by financing activities were $194,693 and $333,845 for the nine months ended October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We received cash from convertible notes of $144,500, note payable of $1,064,514, contribution of $1,600, and repaid notes payable of $819,441, notes payable – related party of $196,417 and convertible notes of $63 for the nine months ended October 31, 2017. We received cash from convertible notes of $691,733, note payable of $147,050, note payable – related party of $25,000 and issuance of Series B Preferred stock of $20,000 and paid note payable of $11,161, notes payable – related party of $505,444 and convertible note of $33,333 for the nine months ended October 31, 2016.
We expect to incur substantial expenses and generate significant operating losses as we continue to grow our operations, as well as incur expenses related to operating as a public company and compliance with regulatory requirements.
The independent auditor’s report on our financial statements, for the year ended January 31, 2017, contains explanatory language that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have an accumulated deficit at October 31, 2017 of $30,351,938 and need additional cash flows to maintain our operations. We depend on the continued need to raise financing to finance our operations and need to obtain additional funding sources to explore potential strategic relationships and to provide capital and other resources for the further development and marketing of our products and business. We expect our cash needs for the next 12 months to be $750,000 to fund our operations. The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on the successful execution of management’s plans, which include expectations of raiding debt or equity based capital until such time that funds from operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The Company may need to incur additional liabilities with related parties to sustain the Company’s existence. There is no assurance that such funding, if required will be available to us or, if available, will be available upon terms favorable to us.
These factors raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations, continued contributions from the Company’s executive officers to finance its operations and the ability to obtain additional funding sources to explore potential strategic relationships and to provide capital and other resources for the further development and marketing of the Company’s products and business.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Critical Accounting Policies
Substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable balance is related to trade receivables. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company will maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments for services. Accounts with known financial issues are first reviewed and specific estimates are recorded. The remaining accounts receivable balances are then grouped in categories by the number of days the balance is past due, and the estimated loss is calculated as a percentage of the total category based upon past history. Account balances are charged against the allowance when it is probable the receivable will not be recovered.
Revenue Recognition
The Company pursues opportunities to realize revenues from consulting services. It is the company’s policy that revenues and gains will be recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 605-10-25, ”Revenue Recognition.” Under ASC Topic 605-10-25, revenue earning activities are recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
Our Business Services revenue includes monthly recurring charges (“MRC”) to customers, for whom charges are contracted over a specified period of time, and variable usage fees charged to customers that purchase our business products and services. Revenue recognition commences after the provisioning, testing and acceptance of the service by the customer. MRCs continue until the expiration of the contract, or until cancellation of the service by the customer. To the extent that payments received from a customer are related to a future period, the payment is recorded as deferred revenue until the service is provided or the usage occurs.
Our Carrier Services revenue is primarily derived from usage fees charged to other carriers that terminate voice traffic over our network. Variable revenue is earned based on the length of a call, as measured by the number of minutes of duration. It is recognized upon completion of the call, and is adjusted to reflect the allowance for billing adjustments. Revenue for each customer is calculated from information received through our network switches. Our customized software tracks the information from the switches and analyzes the call detail records against stored detailed information about revenue rates. This software provides us with the ability to complete a timely and accurate analysis of revenue earned in a period. We believe that the nature of this process is such that recorded revenues are unlikely to be revised in future periods.
Long-lived Assets
The Company reviews its fixed assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted operating cash flow expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
We account for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”). ASC 350 requires that goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased below its carrying value. In addition, ASC 350 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests when circumstances indicate that the recoverability of the carrying amount of goodwill may be in doubt. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units; assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value. Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value of reporting units include estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions or the occurrence of one or more confirming events in future periods could cause the actual results or outcomes to materially differ from such estimates and could also affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment at future reporting dates.

The cost of intangible assets with determinable useful lives is amortized to reflect the pattern of economic benefits consumed, either on a straight-line or accelerated basis over the estimated periods benefited. Patents, technology and other intangibles with contractual terms are generally amortized over their respective legal or contractual lives. Customer relationships, brands and other non-contractual intangible assets with determinable lives are amortized over periods 3 years. When certain events or changes in operating conditions occur, an impairment assessment is performed and lives of intangible assets with determinable lives may be adjusted.
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect the liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The fair value of an embedded conversion option that is convertible into a variable amount of shares and warrants that include price protection reset provision features are deemed to be “down-round protection” and, therefore, do not meet the scope exception for treatment as a derivative under ASC 815 ”Derivatives and Hedging,” since “down-round protection” is not an input into the calculation of the fair value of the conversion option and warrants and cannot be considered “indexed to the Company’s own stock” which is a requirement for the scope exception as outlined under ASC 815.
The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the embedded conversion option and warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was used to estimate the fair value of the embedded conversion options and warrants. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time, of our common stock, equal to the weighted average life of the options.
Conversion options are recorded as debt discount and are amortized as interest expense over the life of the underlying debt instrument.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports 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 our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures would meet their objectives. As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control — Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Management has used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control-Integrated Framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, known as COSO, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this assessment, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of October 31, 2017. There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Our company’s material weaknesses in financial reporting were:
| a. | Lack of an independent board of directors, including an independent financial expert; and |
|
|
|
| b. | Lack of segregation of duties and adequate documentation of our internal controls. |
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
