Notes to the Financial Statements
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND HISTORY
Vortex Blockchain Technologies Inc., formerly UA Granite Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated on February 14, 2013 in the State of Nevada.
The Company does not have any revenues and has incurred losses since inception. Currently, the Company has no operations, has been issued a going concern opinion, and relies upon the sale of our securities and loans from its sole officer and director to fund operations.
GOING CONCERN
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next fiscal year. Realization value may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. As of June 30, 2018, the Company has a working capital deficiency, has not generated revenues and has accumulated losses since inception. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company's fiscal year-end is March 31.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses in the reporting period. We regularly evaluate our estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by us differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between our estimates and the actual results, our future results of operations will be affected.
RECLASSIFICATION
The 2018 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2019 presentation.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less when acquired, to be cash equivalents. We had no cash equivalents at June 30, 2018 or March 31, 2018.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions issued by the FASB which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company computes tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefit of net operating losses has not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.
LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
The Company reports net loss per share in accordance with provisions of the FASB. The provisions require dual presentation of basic and diluted loss per share. Basic net loss per share excludes the impact of common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share utilizes the average market price per share when applying the treasury stock method in determining common stock equivalents. As of June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, there were no common stock equivalents outstanding.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Pursuant to ASC No. 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures", the Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments included on its balance sheets as of June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018. The Company's financial instruments consist of cash. The Company considers the carrying value of such amounts in the financial statements to approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
a) | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards |
In June 2014, ASU guidance was issued to resolve the diversity of practice relating to the accounting for stock based performance awards that the performance target could be achieved after the employee completes the required service period. The update is effective prospectively or retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015.
The adoption of the pronouncement did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. The amendments in this Update remove the definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of the Accounting Standards Codification, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities. In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. This ASU was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. Accordingly, we have elected to adopt ASU No. 2014-10 on April 1, 2015.
b) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In May 2014, ASU guidance was issued related to revenue from contracts with customers. The new standard provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and also requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods and is to be retrospectively applied. Early application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2015, an ASU was issued to simplify the income statement presentation requirements in Subtopic 225-20 by eliminating the concept of extraordinary items. Extraordinary items are events and transactions that are distinguished by their unusual nature and by the infrequency of their occurrence. Eliminating the extraordinary classification simplifies income statement presentation by altogether removing the concept of extraordinary items from consideration. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those annual periods. An entity may apply this ASU prospectively or retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the amendments in this ASU to have any impact on its financial statements.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Continued
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS – Continued
In November 2015, an ASU was issued to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes. The amendments in this ASU require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as non-current in a classified balance sheet as compared to the current requirements to separate deferred tax liabilities and assets into current and non-current amounts. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted. This ASU may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on its financial statements.
In February 2016, Topic 842, Leases was issued to replace the leases requirements in Topic 840, Leases. The main difference between previous GAAP and Topic 842 is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. A lessee should recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. Topic 842 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be retrospectively applied. Earlier application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on its financial statements.
In March 2016, an ASU was issued to reduce complexity in the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions. One of the simplifications relates to forfeitures of awards. Under current GAAP, an entity estimates the number of awards for which the requisite service period is expected to be rendered and base the accruals of compensation cost on the estimated number of awards that will vest. This ASU permits an entity to make an entity-wide accounting policy election either to estimate the number of forfeitures expected to occur or to account for forfeitures in compensation cost when they occur. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact it will have on its financial statements.

NOTE 3 -INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The company does not have any uncertain tax positions.
The Company currently has net operating loss carry forwards aggregating $586,274 (March 31, 2018: $351,260), which expire through 2030. The deferred tax asset related to the carry forwards has been fully reserved.
The Company has deferred income tax assets, which have been fully reserved, as follows as of June 30, 2018:
June 30, 2018 | March 31, 2018 | |||||||

NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company adopted ASC No. 820-10 (ASC 820-10), Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820-10 relates to financial assets and financial liabilities.
ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of this standard apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and are to be applied prospectively with limited exceptions.
ASC 820-10 defines fair value 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. This standard is now the single source in GAAP for the definition of fair value, except for the fair value of leased property as defined in SFAS 13. ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity's own assumptions, about market participant assumptions, that are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820-10 are described below:
• | Level 1 | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. |
• | Level 2 | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
• | Level 3 | Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. These inputs rely on management's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. (The unobservable inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and include the Company's own data.) |
The following presents the Company's fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018:
Level 1: None
Level 2: None
Level 3: None
Total Gain (Losses): None

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
A director has advanced funds to us for our legal, audit, filing fees, general office administration and cash needs. As of June 30, 2018, the director has advanced a total of $76,043 (March 31, 2018: $71,173). $4,870 of total advanced funds were made by current director, Angel Luis Reynoso Vasquez, during the current fiscal quarter as of June 30, 2018. The remaining advanced funds of $71,173 from prior reporting periods were made from former director, Myroslav Tsapaliuk. The advances are without specific terms of repayment. Imputed interest of $1,500 and $294 was charged to additional paid in capital during the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively.
A related entity has advanced funds to us for our legal, audit, filing fees, general office administration and cash needs. As of June 30, 2018, the related entity has advanced a total of $37,970 (March 31, 2018: $37,970). The advances are without specific terms of repayment. Imputed interest of $749 and $749 was charged to additional paid in capital during the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively.
NOTE 6 - COMMON STOCK
On February 14, 2013, the Company issued 5,000,000 common shares to Myroslav Tsapaliuk, the founder of the Company.
On December 12, 2013, the Company issued 650,000 common shares in a registered offering to subscribers for total proceeds of $26,001.
On March 2, 2018, the Company cancelled 5,000,000 common shares issued to Myroslav Tsapaliuk, former director of the company. The shares, originally issued to Mr. Tsapaliuk at the time of the Company's incorporation, were valued at par value, or $0.00001 per share.
On March 7, 2018, the Company issued 750,000 common shares to Angel Luis Reynoso Vasquez, the President, CEO, Secretary and CFO of the Company. The shares were valued at $0.25 per share. The per share value is derived from the company's November 9, 2013 private placement, which is the last time the company sold shares for cash to an independant third party.
On March 27, 2018, the Company entered into subscription agreements with accredited investors for the issuance of 50,001 shares for gross proceeds of $750,000, and the proceeds were sent diretly to Vortex Network, LLC, an Iowa limited liability company. The shares have not been issued as of June 30, 2018. The 50,001 shares are to be issued at later periods. As such, $750,000 are classified as stock receivable and stock to be issued as seperate accounts under shareholder's equity thereby netting to zero.
On April 27, 2018, the Board of Directors and stockholders holding at least a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, approved the amendment and restatement of the Company's Articles of Incorporation to change the Company's name to "Vortex Blockchain Technologies Inc." and increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from seventy-five million (75,000,000) shares to two hundred million (200,000,000) shares. The increase in authorized shares became effective as of May 15, 2018.
On April 27, 2018, the Company's Board of Directors and majority stockholders approved a 15-for-1 forward stock split of all of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the "Stock Split"). The Stock Split increased the number of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock from 1,400,000 to 21,000,000. The Stock Split and the Company's name change became effective on May 31, 2018.
As of June 30, 2018, the Company has issued 21,000,000 common shares.

NOTE 7 – LETTER OF INTENT AND PROMISSORY NOTE
On March 7, 2018, the Company entered into a Binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") with Vortex Network, LLC, an Iowa limited liability company ("Vortex"), in connection with a proposed share exchange transaction between the Company and Vortex, whereby the Company will issue 65,000,000 shares of common stock to the existing members of Vortex in exchange for all the outstanding membership interests of Vortex.
Pursuant to the LOI, the Company advanced $750,000 to Vortex pursuant to the terms of a secured promissory note and security agreement dated March 7, 2018. The principal amount of the promissory note, together with accrued interest at the rate of 8.25% per annum, shall become due and payable upon maturity, which is defined as the first to occur of (a) an event of default, including, without limitation, the failure of the parties to close the share exchange 90 days from June 8, 2018, in which case the Company may declare the note due and payable, (b) the closing of the share exchange, in which case the promissory note will be cancelled as an intercompany loan, or (c) six (6) months following the date of termination of the LOI by the Company. As of June 30, 2018, the net impact to the financial statements is zero.

We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements.
Overview
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada under the name "UA Granite Corporation" on February 14, 2013. Our Articles of Incorporation initially authorized us to issue up to 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share. On April 30, 2018, upon approval by our Board of Directors and majority stockholders on April 27, 2018, we filed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State, with a delayed effective date of May 15, 2018, increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock from 75,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares. In connection with the amendment and restatement of our Articles of Incorporation, our Board of Directors and majority stockholders also approved and adopted the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company on April 27, 2018. Effective May 31, 2018, pursuant to our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and upon completion of processing by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), we changed the name of our Company from "UA Granite Corporation" to "Vortex Blockchain Technologies Inc." in anticipation of a change of our business plan and direction. Also effective May 31, 2018, we effected a 15-for-1 forward stock split of all our issued and outstanding common stock, which increased the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock from 1,400,000 to 21,000,000.
We are a development-stage company with no revenues and no assets, and we have incurred losses since inception. Our limited start-up operations have consisted of the formation of our Company, development of our business plan, efforts to raise capital and maintaining our public company reporting requirements. We originally intended to operate in the business of marketing and distributing finished granite products, but have since discontinued our efforts related to granite products due to economic and political difficulties. We are in the process of seeking out other business opportunities and pursuing additional financing in order to maintain operations while we evaluate potential business opportunities.
On March 7, 2018, we entered into a Binding Letter of Intent (the "LOI") with Vortex Network, LLC, an Iowa limited liability company ("Vortex"), in connection with a proposed share exchange transaction between the Company and Vortex, whereby the Company will issue 65,000,000 shares of common stock to the existing members of Vortex in exchange for all the outstanding membership interests of Vortex (the "Share Exchange"). Effective March 30, 2018, the Company and Vortex entered into an amendment to clarify and amend certain terms set forth in the LOI and to extend the term of the LOI for a period of 90 days. Pursuant to the terms of the proposed Share Exchange, we will acquire all of the outstanding membership interests of Vortex in exchange for the issuance of 65,000,000 shares of common stock to the existing members of Vortex, and Vortex will become our wholly-owned subsidiary. Following the closing of the Share Exchange, the Company will be managed by Vortex's current management team, and our existing directors and officers will resign. If we are successful in closing the proposed Share Exchange, the business of Vortex will become our primary business. Vortex operates as a cryptocurrency holding company engaged in the business of mining crypto assets. If we are unable to close the proposed Share Exchange, we will need to consider other strategic alternatives for our Company.
Pursuant to the LOI, we made an initial LOI Advance in the amount of $750,000 to Vortex pursuant to the terms of a secured promissory note and security agreement dated March 7, 2018. The principal amount of the promissory note, together with accrued interest at the rate of 8.25% per annum, shall become due and payable upon maturity, which is defined as the first to occur of (a) an event of default, including, without limitation, the failure of the parties to close the Share Exchange on or before June 8, 2018, in which case the Company may declare the note due and payable, (b) the closing of the Share Exchange, in which case the promissory note will be cancelled as an intercompany loan, or (c) six (6) months following the date of termination of the LOI by the Company. The LOI contemplates an additional LOI Advance in the amount of $750,000 upon the completion by Vortex or the Company's waiver of certain conditions.
The Share Exchange is expected to be completed after the closing conditions set forth in a definitive agreement between the Company, Vortex and the members of Vortex have either been satisfied or waived by the appropriate party or parties thereto. The LOI contemplates that the definitive agreement will contain certain closing conditions typically found in an agreement of such nature, and the closing of the Share Exchange will be conditioned upon the approval by the members of Vortex. If we are able to close the Share Exchange as contemplated by the LOI, Vortex will become our wholly-owned subsidiary.
Our plan of operations over the next twelve months is to carry out a suitable business opportunity, with a primary focus on entering into a definitive agreement and completing the proposed Share Exchange with Vortex. We believe we will require a minimum of $1,800,000 in funding over the next twelve months to maintain current operations and pursue suitable business opportunities, including the proposed Share Exchange with Vortex.

Results of Operations
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, we focused on carrying out the Share Exchange with Vortex and satisfying our ongoing obligations as a public reporting company.
From February 14, 2013 (the date of our inception) to June 30, 2018, we have not earned any revenues. We expect to continue to incur losses over the next twelve months, or until we are able to identify, develop and carry out a new business opportunity that enables us to generate revenues.
Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017
Our operations for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 can be summarized as follows:
Three Month Period Ended June 30, 2018 | Three Month Period Ended June 30, 2017 | |||||||
Operating Expenses | ||||||||
Legal and accounting | $ | 162,559 | $ | 1,658 | ||||
General and administrative | 2,895 | 3,000 | ||||||
Total Operating Expenses | 165,454 | 4,658 | ||||||
Other Expense | ||||||||
Imputed interest expense | 2,249 | 1,043 | ||||||
Net Loss | $ | (167,703 | ) | $ | (5,701 | ) |
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, we incurred $165,454 in operating expenses, compared to $4,658 in operating expenses during the three-month period ended June 30, 2017. The increase in operating expenses can be attributed to an increase in legal and accounting expenses related to our recent name change, stock split, and the proposed Share Exchange with Vortex.
We incurred a net loss of $167,703 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, compared to a net loss of $5,701 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017. The increase in net loss over the comparable three-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 can be attributed to an increase in operating expenses without generating any revenues to offset those expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Balance Sheets
As of June 30, 2018, we had $0 in cash and total assets of $0. As of March 31, 2018, we had $0 in cash and total assets of $1,387, which was attributable to a prepaid expense.
As of June 30, 2018, we had total liabilities in the amount of $362,288, compared to total liabilities in the amount of $198,221 as of March 31, 2018. The increase in our total liabilities and working capital deficit is due to an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and amounts due to our director, as we had limited cash flows to repay outstanding obligations as they became due.
As of June 30, 2018, our accumulated deficit was $588,523, compared to an accumulated deficit of $420,820 as of March 31, 2018.

Cash Flows
Cash Used in Operating Activities
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, we used $4,870 in cash for operating activities, compared to $1,750 in cash used for operating activities during the three-month period ended June 30, 2017. The increase in the amount of cash used for operating activities relates primarily to an increase in the amount advanced by our sole executive officer and director during the period for operations.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
During the period from February 14, 2013 (inception) to March 31, 2018, the Company has not engaged in any investing activities. We expect to use cash for investing activities in future periods, when available. However, until we are able to conclude the acquisition or development of a suitable business opportunity, we do not anticipate using cash flows in investing activities.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, we received $4,870 in cash from financing activities, compared to $1,750 in cash received from financing activities during the three-month period ended June 30, 2017. The proceeds received from financing activities during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 were advances provided by management (our sole director and executive officer) to support our day-to-day activities.
Recent Developments and Future Financing Activities
In order to execute on our business strategy, we will require additional working capital. We anticipate that we will require a minimum of approximately $1,800,000 in debt and/or equity financing to proceed with our plan of operations over the next twelve months. As we had cash and working capital in the amount of $0 as of June 30, 2018, we do not have sufficient working capital to enable us to carry out our operations for the next twelve months.
We expect to use debt and/or equity financing to fund operations for the foreseeable future, including, without limitation, the sale of up to $2,500,000 of our capital stock pursuant to a private placement for the purpose of financing the contemplated ongoing operations of the Company and Vortex, as previously disclosed on our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 2, 2018.
Any future sale of additional equity and/or debt securities will result in dilution to current stockholders. We may also seek additional loans where the incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our stockholders and investors.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements are affected by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. A complete listing of these policies is included in Note 2 of the notes to our financial statements for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018. We believe the accounting policies utilized in preparing our financial statements conform to the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("US GAAP").
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. By their nature, these estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty, and actual results could differ from such estimates. The actual results experienced by our Company may differ materially and adversely from our Company's estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

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
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (who is our Principal Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (who is our Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation and under the supervision of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2018. Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2018 in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. This conclusion is based on findings that constituted material weaknesses. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
In performing the above-referenced evaluation, our management identified the following material weaknesses:
· | Lack of Appropriate Independent Oversight and Audit Committee. We do not have a formal audit committee with a financial expert, and therefore lacks the board oversight role within the financial reporting process. |
· | Failure to Segregate Duties. We rely on one individual, our sole executive officer, to fill the role of Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer), rather than segregating duties among two or more members of management. This results in our sole executive officer being responsible for a broad range of duties that cannot be properly reconciled under a one-person management structure. |
· | Insufficient Accounting Resources and Lack of Formal Policies and Procedures Necessary to Adequately Review Significant Accounting Transactions. Our Company has insufficient internal accounting resources and personnel with sufficient knowledge of US GAAP rules and procedures to oversee our financial reporting and procedures. We utilize a third party independent contractor for the preparation of our financial statements. Although the financial statements and footnotes prepared by such third party independent contractor are reviewed by our management, we do not have a formal policy to review significant accounting transactions and the accounting treatment of such transactions. The third party independent contractor is not involved in the day-to-day operations of our Company, and may not be provided information from management on a timely basis to allow for adequate reporting and consideration of certain accounting transactions. |
· | Related Party Transactions. Our Company has no formal process related to the identification and approval of related party transactions. |
Our management team will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis, and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds permit, such as (i) forming an audit committee made up of non-managerial directors, and (ii) segregating managerial duties by engaging an individual to serve as Chief Financial Officer (Principal Accounting Officer) who has a working knowledge of GAAP accounting.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ending June 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
