We have not authorized any person to give you any supplemental information or to make any representations for us. You should not rely upon any information about our company that is not contained in this prospectus. Information contained in this prospectus may become stale. You should not assume that the information contained in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement is accurate as of any date other than their respective dates, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or of any sale of the shares. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates. The selling stockholders are offering to sell, and seeking offers to buy, shares of our common stock only in jurisdictions where offers and sales are permitted.
In this prospectus, “DNA Testing” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to DNA Testing Centers, Corp., a Florida corporation.
PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in our securities. You should read the entire prospectus, including “Risk Factors” and the consolidated financial statements and the related notes before making an investment decision.
You should carefully read all information in the prospectus, including the financial statements and their explanatory notes, under the Financial Statements prior to making an investment decision.
The “Company”, “us”, “we” and “our” refer to DNA Testing Centers, Corp., a Florida corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, DNA Testing Centers of Canada, Ltd., a company formed pursuant to the laws of Alberta, Canada.
Company Organization
We are a development-stage company, incorporated in the State of Florida on July 3, 2014, to acquire our wholly owned subsidiary DNA Centers of Canada, Ltd, a Canadian corporation formed on April 6, 2009, to distribute DNA diagnostic testing kits to consumers and medical practitioners in Canada.
On July 3, 2014 we issued an aggregate of 19,999,998 or 6,666,666 common shares to each (i) 7612176 Canada Inc., a Canadian corporation, controlled by Dr. Barjinder Sohal, our chief executive officer, president and director, (ii) 7322640 Canada Inc. a Canadian corporation controlled by Dr. Nitan Arora, our vice president and director and (iii) 7322747 Canada Inc. a Canadian corporation controlled by Navjot Nanda our secretary, treasurer and director, in exchange for 100% of the outstanding shares of DNA Testing Centers of Canada, Ltd., which became our wholly-owned subsidiary. At the time of the acquisition, 7612176 Canada Inc., 7322640 Canada Inc. and 7322747 Canada Inc. each held 33.33% of DNA Centers of Canada, Ltd. representing 100% of its outstanding securities.
Our principal executive office is located at 2378 Parkhaven Boulevard, Oakville, Ontario, L6H 0E7, Canada. Our telephone number is 1-866-863-5139. Our website is www.dnatestingcanada.com and is not part of this prospectus.
Our auditor has issued a “going concern” notation about our company, meaning that we face uncertainties that our business will not succeed or be viable. Additionally, it is likely that we will need additional capital or additional financing in the future, and if such financing is not available to us on acceptable terms our business may suffer or fail as a result.
Business
Our operations to date and those of our wholly owned subsidiary, DNA Testing Centers of Canada, Ltd., include: (i) development of our business plan; (ii) research and development of DNA testing methods and technologies; (iii) locating suppliers for DNA testing kits; (iv) locating and reviewing potential labs to interpret our DNA testing kits; (v) creating our marketing strategy; (vi) developing content for our website that describes DNA technology, the DNA testing process and the DNA test kits we sell; and (v) selling our DNA testing kits to medical practitioners and directly to consumers. DNA Testing Centers of Canada, Ltd., commenced sales of its products in April of 2010.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, and 2014, we have a net income (loss) of $443 and $(61, 264) respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, we had revenues of $23,099 and $27,115.
In September and October of 2014, we sold 584,597 common shares at a price of $0.15 per share for aggregate proceeds of approximately $87,690. $11,000 of the proceeds were received in October 2014 and therefore, was recorded as a receivable as of September 30, 2014.
As of April 14, 2015, we had cash on hand of $27, 102 for our operational needs. Currently, our operating expenses are approximately $3,500 per month. After this registration statement is declared effective, our operating expenses will be approximately $8,500 per month. If we fail to generate sufficient revenues or raise additional funds to meet our monthly operating costs we will not have available cash for our operating needs after approximately 3 months.
Our officers and directors devote limited time to our business, which may negatively impact upon our plan of operations, implementation of our business plan and our potential profitability. Dr. Barjinder Sohal, our chief executive officer and director dedicates approximately 140 hours, Dr. Nitan Arora, our vice president and director dedicates approximately 140 hours and Navjot Nanda spends approximately 140 hours each month to our business.
Risk Factors
Our ability to successfully operate our business and achieve our goals and strategies is subject to numerous risks including:
·There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our limited operating history and financial resources.
·If we are unable to generate significant revenue or secure financing we may be required to cease or curtail our operations.
·We are an early stage company with little or no historical performance for you to base an investment decision upon and we may never become profitable.
·We are dependent on sales of our securities to fund our operations.
·We may be subject to significant regulations in the future and may not be able to obtain necessary regulatory clearances to sell our products.
·Expenses required to operate as a public company will reduce funds available to develop our business.
·Third parties can purchase the same products we sell which may negatively affect our revenues.
·If we fail to develop the DNA Testing Centers brand cost-effectively, our business may be adversely affected.
·We may be subject to product liability claims and we do not have insurance coverage for such claims.
·Our officers and directors have other business interests and we may compete with these interests for management time.
·Our officers and directors have no experience managing a public company which is required to establish and maintain disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting.
·The offering price of the common shares being registered on behalf of the Selling Shareholders has been arbitrarily determined by us and bears no relationship to any criteria of value.
·Our common stock is not currently quoted or listed and may never be quoted or listed by the OTC Bulletin Board or any other listing or quotation service and if listed, no market may ever develop for our common stock, or if developed, may not be sustained in the future.
6
Emerging Growth Company
We are an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act. We shall continue to be deemed an emerging growth company until the earliest of:
·The last day of our fiscal year during which we have had total annual gross revenues of $1,000,000,000 (as such amount is indexed for inflation every 5 years by the Commission to reflect the change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, setting the threshold to the nearest 1,000,000) or more;
·The last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common equity securities pursuant to an effective IPO registration statement.
·The date on which we have, during the previous 3-year period, issued more than $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt; or
·The date on which we are deemed to be a ‘large accelerated filer’, as defined in section 240.12b-2 of title 17, Code of Federal Regulations, or any successor thereto.
As an emerging growth company we are exempt from Section 404(b) of Sarbanes Oxley. Section 404(a) requires issuers to publish information in their annual reports concerning the scope and adequacy of the internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting. This statement shall also assess the effectiveness of such internal controls and procedures. Section 404(b) requires that the registered accounting firm shall, in the same report, attest to and report on the assessment and the effectiveness of the internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting.
As an emerging growth company we are also exempt from Section 14A (a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which requires the shareholder approval of executive compensation and golden parachutes. These exemptions are also available to us as a Smaller Reporting Company.
We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(2) of the JOBS Act, that allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
The Offering
As of the date of this prospectus, we had 20,784,595 shares of common stock outstanding.
Selling shareholders are offering up to 438,948 shares of common stock which we sold in a private placement during September of 2014. Of the 438,948 shares being registered, 358,948 were sold in a private placement at the price of $0.15 per share and 80,000 shares were issued for services, which we valued at $0.15 per share or an aggregate of $12,000.
The selling shareholders will offer their shares at $0.25 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices.
We will pay all expenses of registering the securities, estimated at approximately $35,000. We will not receive any proceeds of the sale of these securities.
To be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, a market maker must file an application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. The current absence of a public market for our common stock may make it more difficult for you to sell shares of our common stock that you own.

Financial Summary
The tables and information below are derived from our audited financial statements for the period from DNA Testing Centers of Canada’s inception on April 6, 2009 to December 31, 2013, and 2014. Our working capital as of December 31, 2013, and 2014, was $443 and $47,939 respectively. Once this registration statement is declared effective, our operating expenses will be approximately $8,500 per month. As the date of April 14, 2015, we had cash on hand of approximately $27,102 which is sufficient to pay our operating expenses for approximately 3 months. We plan to spend $48,400 to implement our plan of operations as described under the heading “MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION” on page 33 of this prospectus. We do not presently have sufficient funds available to complete our plan of operations and there is no assurance we will have sufficient funds available to implement our plan of operations which could cause you to lose your investment.

RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this prospectus before making an investment decision with regard to our securities. The statements contained in or incorporated herein that are not historic facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Financial Condition
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our limited operating history and financial resources, and if we are unable to generate significant revenue or secure financing we may be required to cease or curtail our operations.
We incurred net losses of $443 and ($64,754), for the year ended December 31, 2013, and 2014, respectively. As a result, our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph in its audit opinion that we may be unable to continue as a going concern. Our limited operating history and financial resources raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and our financial statements contain a going concern qualification. Our financial statements do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty and if we are unable to generate significant revenue or secure financing we may be required to cease or curtail our operations.
9
We are an early stage company with little or no historical performance for you to base an investment decision upon, and we may never become profitable.
We are a recently formed company. For the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, we had revenues of $23,099 and $27,115 respectively.For the year ended December 31, 2013, and 2014, we have a net income (loss) of $443 and $(61, 264) respectively. Accordingly, we have limited historical performance upon which you may evaluate our prospects for achieving our business objectives and becoming profitable in light of the risks, difficulties and uncertainties frequently encountered by early stage companies such as us. Accordingly, before investing in our common stock, you should consider the challenges, expenses and difficulties that we will face as an early stage company, and whether we will ever become profitable.
We are dependent on the sale of our securities to fund our operations.
We received proceeds of $87,690 from the sale of 584,597 shares of our common stock in September and October of 2014, which funds our current operations. We are dependent on the sale of our securities to fund our operations, and will remain so until we generate sufficient revenues to pay for our operating costs. Our officers and directors have made no written commitments with respect to providing a source of liquidity in the form of cash advances, loans and/or financial guarantees.
If we are unable to generate sufficient revenues for our operating expenses we will need financing, which we may be unable to obtain; should we fail to obtain sufficient financing, our revenues will be negatively impacted.
For the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, we had revenues of $23,099 and $27,115 respectively from the sale of our DNA testing kits. For the year ended December 31, 2013, and 2014, we have a net income (loss) of $443 and $(61, 264) respectively. Because we have limited revenues and lack historical financial data, including revenue data, our future revenues are unpredictable. Our operating expenses are presently approximately $3,500 per month or $42,000 annually. After this registration statement is declared effective our operating expenses will increase by approximately $5,000 per month and be approximately $8,500 per month or $102,000 annually. We will require $8,500 per month or $102,000 over the next twelve months to meet our existing operational costs, which consist of rent, advertising, salaries and other general, administrative expenses to comply with the costs of being an SEC reporting company.
As the date of April 14, 2015, we had cash on hand of approximately $27,102 which is sufficient to pay our operating expenses for approximately 3 months. We plan spend $48,400 to implement our plan of operations as described under the heading “MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION” on page 33 of this prospectus. There is no assurance we will have sufficient funds available to implement our plan of operations which could cause you to lose your investment.
Until we generate material operating revenues, we require additional debt or equity funding to continue our operations and implement our plan of operations. We intend to raise additional funds from an offering of our stock in the future; however, this offering may never occur, or if it occurs, we may be unable to raise the required funding. We do not have any plans or specific agreements for new sources of funding and we have no agreements for financing in place.
Our revenues are highly concentrated in two customers, which represented 30.44% of our revenues during the year ended December 31, 2014; our revenues could be significantly reduced if these two customers reduce their orders from us or they cease purchasing DNA test kits from us.
In the year ended December 31, 2014, two customers accounted for 30.44% of our revenues. The two customers represented 15.41% and 15.03% of our revenues such period. As a result, a material portion of our revenues are concentrated in a few customers. Should either of these two customers decrease or cease ordering DNA test kits from us, our revenues and results of operations will be negatively affected.
10
Expenses required to operate as a public company will reduce funds available to develop our business and could negatively affect our stock price and adversely affect our results of operations, cash flow and financial condition.
Operating as a public company is more expensive than operating as a private company, including additional funds required to obtain outside assistance from legal, accounting, investor relations, or other professionals that could be more costly than planned. We may also be required to hire additional staff to comply with additional SEC reporting requirements. We anticipate that the cost of SEC reporting will be approximately $60,000 annually. Our failure to comply with reporting requirements and other provisions of securities laws could negatively affect our stock price and adversely affect our results of operations, cash flow and financial condition. If we fail to meet these requirements, we will be unable to secure a qualification for quotation of our securities on the OTC Bulletin Board, or, if we have secured a qualification, we may lose the qualification and our securities would no longer trade on the OTC Bulletin Board. Further, if we fail to meet these obligations and consequently fail to satisfy our SEC reporting obligations, investors will then own stock in a company that does not provide the disclosure available in quarterly, annual reports and other required SEC reports that would be otherwise publicly available leading to increased difficulty in selling their stock due to our becoming a non-reporting issuer.
Risks Related to Our Business
We may be subject to significant regulations in the future and may not be able to obtain necessary regulatory clearances to sell our products.
We presently sell and ship our DNA testing kits only in Canada. Canada does not presently regulate the sale of over the counter DNA testing kits. Countries such as the United States limit the types of DNA testing kits that can be sold directly to consumers specifically related to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and certain medical conditions. Should Canada adopt future regulations limiting the sale of our DNA testing kits directly to consumers our revenues will likely decrease. If we expand our business to the U.S. or other countries, we will likely become subject to regulation by the FDA or other comparable agencies of other countries, which may require us to obtain regulatory approval or clearance before we can market those products.
These regulatory approval processes may be expensive, time-consuming and uncertain, and our failure to obtain or comply with these approvals or clearances could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.
We must be able to adapt to rapidly changing technology trends and evolving industry standards or we risk our products becoming obsolete.
The DNA testing market in which we compete is characterized by intensive development efforts and rapidly advancing technology. Our future success will depend, in large part, upon our ability to anticipate and keep pace with advancing technology and competing innovations. We may not be successful in identifying, developing and marketing new products or enhancing our existing products. We believe that a number of large companies, with significantly greater financial, manufacturing, marketing, distribution and technical resources and experience than ours, are focusing on the development of visualization products for minimally invasive surgery.
Adverse publicity of our DNA testing products and any similar products distributed by others could harm our reputation and adversely affect our revenues.
We believe we are highly dependent upon positive consumer perceptions of the reliability of our DNA testing kits as well as similar products distributed by other DNA product and testing companies. Consumer perception of the reliability of DNA testing can be substantially influenced by scientific research or findings, national media attention and other publicity about the use of DNA technologies. Adverse publicity from these sources regarding the reliability, quality or efficacy of our products could harm our reputation and results of operations. The mere publication of news articles or reports asserting that over the counter DNA testing kits are not reliable for the purposes intended particularly where such kits are used to determine genetic predisposition to certain diseases or conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, regardless of whether such news articles or reports are scientifically supported.
11
We may be subject to intellectual property rights claims, which are costly to defend, could require us to pay damages and could limit our ability to sell some of our products.
We have no secured intellectual property protection of the DNA Testing Centers name. Our industry is characterized by vigorous pursuit and protection of intellectual property rights, which has resulted in protracted and expensive litigation for several companies. Third parties may assert claims of misappropriation of trade secrets or infringement of intellectual property rights against us for which we may be liable.
If our business expands, the number of products and competitors in our markets increases and product overlaps occur, infringement claims may increase in number and significance. Intellectual property lawsuits are subject to inherent uncertainties due to the complexity of the technical issues involved, and we cannot be certain that we would be successful in defending ourselves against intellectual property claims. Further, many potential litigants have the capability to dedicate substantially greater resources than we can to enforce their intellectual property rights and to defend claims that may be brought against them. Furthermore, a successful claimant could secure a judgment that requires us to pay substantial damages or prevents us from distributing our products.
Third parties can purchase the same products we sell which may negatively affect our revenues.
We purchase our test components from Pro Printing and Mailing Services Inc. and finished test kits previously from Pathway Genomics Lab, both of which sell products to other companies. As such, third parties can purchase the same products as us which puts us at a competitive disadvantage and may have a negative impact on our revenues.
If we fail to develop the DNA Testing Centers brand cost-effectively, our business may be adversely affected.
The success of our products marketed under the DNA Testing Centers brand will depend upon the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. Brand promotion activities may not yield increased revenue, and even if they do, any increased revenue may not offset the expenses incurred in building the brands. If we fail to successfully promote and maintain our brands, or incur substantial expenses in an unsuccessful attempt to promote and maintain our brands, we may fail to attract enough new customers or retain our existing customers to the extent necessary to realize a sufficient return on our brand-building efforts, and our business and results of operations could suffer.
The DNA testing industry is highly competitive, and our failure to compete effectively could adversely affect our market share, financial condition and future growth.
The DNA testing industry is highly competitive with respect to price, brand and product recognition and new product introductions. Many of our competitors are larger, more established and possess greater financial, personnel, distribution and other resources than we have. As such, the growth of product sales is highly competitive and uncertain. If we cannot compete effectively, we may not be profitable.
The purchase of many of our products is discretionary, and may be negatively impacted by adverse trends in the general economy and make it more difficult for us to generate revenues.
Our business is affected by general economic conditions since our products are discretionary and we depend, to a significant extent, upon a number of factors relating to discretionary consumer spending. These factors include economic conditions and perceptions of such conditions by consumers, employment rates, the level of consumers' disposable income, business conditions, interest rates, consumer debt levels and availability of credit. Consumer spending on our DNA testing products may be adversely affected by changes in general economic conditions.
12
The success of our business depends on our ability to market and advertise the products we sell effectively.
Our ability to establish effective marketing and advertising campaigns is the key to our success. Our advertisements promote our corporate image, our DNA testing products and the pricing of such products. If we are unable to increase awareness of our products, we may not be able to attract new customers. Our marketing activities may not be successful in promoting the DNA testing products we sell or pricing strategies or in retaining and increasing our customer base. We cannot assure you that our marketing programs will be adequate to support our future growth, which may result in a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Our lack of registered trademarks and trade names could potentially harm our business.
Trademarks and trade names distinguish the various companies from each other. If potential distributors and customers are unable to distinguish our products from those of other companies, we could lose sales to our competitors. We do not have any registered trademarks and trade names, so we only has common law rights with respect to infractions or infringements on its products. Many subtleties exist in product descriptions, offering and names that can easily confuse distributors and customers. The name of our principal products may be found in numerous variations of the name and descriptions in various media and product labels. This presents a risk of losing potential customers looking for our products and buying someone else’s because they cannot differentiate between them.
We may be subject to product liability claims and we do not have insurance coverage for such claims which could negatively impact our financial condition.
By selling DNA test kits, we will face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that the use of our products results in personal injury or death. Also, in the event that any of our testing kits is defective, we may be required to recall or replace such products. We do not maintain product liability insurance coverage to protect us from such claims. A successful product liability claim or series of claims brought against us would negatively impact our business.
Risks Related To Our Management
Should we lose the services of our management, our financial condition and proposed expansion may be negatively impacted.
Our future depends on the continued contributions ofDr. Barjinder Sohal, our chief executive officer, president and director, Dr. Nitan Arora, our vice president and director and Navjot Nanda, our secretary, treasurer and director, who would each be difficult to replace. Their servicesarecritical to the management of our business and operations. We do not maintain key man life insurance on any of our officers or directors. Should we lose the services of any of our officers and directors, we may be unable to replace their services with equally competent and experienced personnel, our operational goals and strategies may be adversely affected, which will negatively affect our potential revenues.
Our officers and directors have other business interests and conflict of interests which may not be resolved in our favor.
Dr. Barjinder Sohal, our chief executive officer, president and director, Dr. Nitan Arora, our vice president and director and Navjot Nanda, our secretary and treasurer, each own 33.3% of Healthmedica, which is a walk in health clinic located in Oakville, Canada. Dr. Sohal owns 100% of and is and a physician at Barjinder Singh Sohal Medicine Professional Corp., located in Toronto, Canada, where he is a physician. Additionally, Dr. Arora and Navjot Nanda each hold 50% of Canadian Decompression and Pain Centers (“CDPC”), a Canadian company that provides chiropractic services. Dr. Arora also serves as a clinic operator at Viva Medical Clinic, which is a walk in medical clinic located in Winnipeg, Canada.
13
None of the foregoing entities provides DNA Testing or other services that compete with the products and services we offer. We may compete with these entities for our management’s time in the future. Accordingly, the personal interests of our officers and directors may come into conflict with our interests and those of our minority stockholders. We may present our officers and directors with business opportunities, which are mutually desired. Additionally, in the future, we may compete with these entities for investment capital, technical resources, key personnel and other opportunities, goods, services, etc. You should carefully consider these potential conflicts of interest before deciding whether to invest in shares of our common stock. We have not yet adopted a policy for resolving such conflicts of interest.
Our officers and directors devote limited time to our business, which may negatively impact upon our plan of operations, implementation of our business plan and our potential profitability.
Dr. Barjinder Sohal, our chief executive officer and director dedicates approximately 140 hours, Dr. Nitan Arora, our vice president and director dedicates approximately 140 hours and Navjot Nanda spends approximately 140 hours each month to our business. The limited amount of time our management devotes to our business activities in the future may be inadequate to implement our plan of operations and develop a profitable business.
Our officers and directors have no experience managing a public company which is required to establish and maintain disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting.
We have never operated as a public company and our management has no experience managing a public company which is required to establish and maintain disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. As a result, we may not be able to operate successfully as a public company, even if our operations are successful. We plan to comply with all of the various rules and regulations, which are required for a public company that is reporting company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, if we cannot operate successfully as a public company, your investment may be materially adversely affected.
We will incur additional costs and management time related expenses pertaining to SEC reporting obligations and SEC compliance matter and our management has no experience in such matters.
Dr. Barjinder Sohal, our chief executive officer and president, Dr. Nitan Arora, our vice-president, and Ms. Navjot Nanda, our secretary, treasurer, and director, are responsible for managing us, including compliance with SEC reporting obligations and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. These public reporting requirements and controls are new to these individuals and at times will require us to obtain outside assistance from legal, accounting or other professionals that will increase our costs of doing business. Should we fail to comply with SEC reporting and internal controls and procedures, we may be subject to securities law violations that may result in additional compliance costs or costs associated with SEC judgments or fines, each of which would increase our costs and negatively affect our potential profitability and our ability to conduct our business.
You may have difficulty in enforcing any judgment against our officers and directors who are residents of Canada and not of the U.S., and are located outside the U.S.
All of our officers and directors are located outside the U.S. and reside in Canada. As a result, it could be difficult for investors to effect service of process of them in the U.S., or to enforce a judgment obtained against them in the U.S.
14
Because we do not have an audit or compensation committee, shareholders will be required to rely on the members of our board of directors, who are not independent, to perform these functions.
We do not have an audit or compensation committee or board of directors as a whole that is composed of independent directors. Because our directors are also our officers and controlling shareholders, they are not independent. There is a potential conflict between their or our interests and our shareholders’ interests, since our directors are also our officers who will participate in discussions concerning management compensation and audit issues that may affect management decisions. Until we have an audit committee or independent directors, there may be less oversight of management decisions and activities and little ability for minority shareholders to challenge or reverse those activities and decisions, even if they are not in the best interests of minority shareholders.
We are an "emerging growth company," and we cannot be certain if the reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the JOBS Act. For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although we could lose that status sooner if our revenues exceed $1,000,000,000, if we issue more than $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt in a three year period, or if the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $100,000,000 as of any April 30 before that time, in which case we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the following April 30. We cannot predict whether investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(2) of the JOBS Act, that allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
The offering price of the common shares being registered on behalf of the Selling Shareholders has been arbitrarily determined by us and bears no relationship to any criteria of value; as such, investors should not consider the offering price or value to be an indication of the value of the shares being registered.
Currently, there is no public market for our common stock. The offering price for the common shares being registered on behalf of the selling shareholders named in this registration statement has been arbitrarily determined by us and is not based on assets, operations, book or other established criteria of value. Thus, investors should be aware that the offering price does not reflect the market price or value of our common shares.
15
Our officers and directors have voting control over all matters submitted to a vote of our common stockholders, which will prevent our minority shareholders from having the ability to control any of our corporate actions.
As of the date of this prospectus, we had 20,784,595 shares of common stock outstanding, each entitled to one vote per common share. Our chief executive officer, president and director, Dr. Barjinder Sohal, controls 6,666,666 shares, our vice-president and director, Dr. Nitan Arora, controls 6,666,666 shares and our secretary, treasurer and director, Ms. Navjot Nanda, controls 6,666,666 shares. As such, the aggregate number of common shares controlled by our management effectively entitles them to vote approximately 96% of our outstanding common shares on all matters submitted to a vote of our common stockholders. As a result, our management has the ability to determine the outcome of all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors. Our management’s control of our voting securities may make it impossible to complete some corporate transactions without its support and may prevent a change in our control. In addition, this ownership could discourage the acquisition of our common stock by potential investors and could have an anti-takeover effect, possibly depressing the trading price of our common stock.
Our common stock is not currently quoted or listed and may never be quoted or listed by the OTC Bulletin Board or any other listing or quotation service and if listed, no market may ever develop for our common stock, or if developed, may not be sustained in the future. Investors may have difficulty in reselling their shares due to the lack of market or state Blue Sky laws.
Our common stock is currently not quoted on any market. No market may ever develop for our common stock, or if developed, may not be sustained in the future. The holders of our shares of common stock and persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future should be aware that there might be significant state law restrictions upon the ability of investors to resell our shares. Accordingly, even if we are successful in having the shares available for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, investors should consider any secondary market for our common shares to be a limited one. We intend to seek coverage and publication of information regarding the company in an accepted publication, which permits a "manual exemption." This manual exemption permits a security to be distributed in a particular state without being registered if the company issuing the security has a listing for that security in a securities manual recognized by the state. However, it is not enough for the security to be listed in a recognized manual. The listing entry must contain (1) the names of issuers, officers, and directors, (2) an issuer's balance sheet, and (3) a profit and loss statement for either the fiscal year preceding the balance sheet or for the most recent fiscal year of operations. We may not be able to secure a listing containing all of this information. Furthermore, the manual exemption is a non-issuer exemption restricted to secondary trading transactions, making it unavailable for issuers selling newly issued securities. Most of the accepted manuals are those published in Standard and Poor's, Moody's Investor Service, Fitch's Investment Service, and Best's Insurance Reports, and many states expressly recognize these manuals. A smaller number of states declare that they “recognize securities manuals” but do not specify the recognized manuals. The following states do not have any provisions and therefore do not expressly recognize the manual exemption: Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Montana, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont and Wisconsin.
Accordingly, our common shares should be considered totally illiquid, which inhibits investors’ ability to resell their shares.
We will be subject to penny stock regulations and restrictions and you may have difficulty selling shares of our common stock.
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define so-called “penny stocks” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. We anticipate that our common stock will be a “penny stock”, and we will become subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, or the “Penny Stock Rule”. This rule imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell such securities to persons other than established customers. For transactions covered by Rule 15g-9, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale. As a result, this rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common shares and may affect the ability of purchasers to sell any of our common shares in the secondary market.
16
For any transaction (other than an exempt transaction) involving a penny stock, the rules require delivery, prior to such transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made regarding sales commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stock.
We do not anticipate that our common stock will qualify for exemption from the Penny Stock Rule. In any event, even if our common stock is exempt from the Penny Stock Rule, we would remain subject to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act, which gives the SEC the authority to restrict any person from participating in a distribution of penny stock, if the SEC finds that such a restriction would be in the public interest.
Sales of our common stock under Rule 144 could reduce the price of our stock.
None of the 20,784,595 common shares outstanding are currently eligible for resale under Rule 144. In general, persons holding restricted securities in a SEC reporting company, including affiliates, must hold their shares for a period of at least six months, may not sell more than one percent of the total issued and outstanding shares in any 90-day period, and must resell the shares in an unsolicited brokerage transaction at the market price. If substantial amounts of our common stock become available for resale under Rule 144, prevailing market prices for our common stock will be reduced.
Our common stock is not currently quoted or listed and may never be quoted or listed by the OTC Bulletin Board or any other listing or quotation service. If we are not required to continue filing reports under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in the future, for example because we have less than three hundred shareholders of record at the end of the first fiscal year in which this registration statement is declared effective, and we do not file a Registration Statement on Form 8-A, our common shares (if listed or quoted) would no longer be eligible for quotation, which could reduce the value of your investment.
As a result of this offering as required under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we will file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission as required under Section 15(d). However, if in the future we are not required to continue filing reports under Section 15(d), for example because we have less than three hundred shareholders of record at the end of the first fiscal year in which this registration statement is declared effective, and we do not file a Registration Statement on Form 8-A upon the occurrence of such an event, our common stock can no longer be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, which could reduce the value of your investment. Of course, there is no guarantee that we will be able to meet the requirements to be able to cease filing reports under Section 15(d), in which case we will continue filing those reports in the years after the fiscal year in which this registration statement is declared effective. Filing a registration statement on Form 8-A will require us to continue to file quarterly and annual reports with the SEC and will also subject us to the proxy rules of the SEC. In addition, our officers, directors and 10% stockholders will be required to submit reports to the SEC on their stock ownership and stock trading activity. Thus the filing of a Form 8-A in such event makes our common shares continued to be able to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.
We may, in the future, issue additional securities, which would reduce investors’ percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize us to issue 490,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock. As of the date of this prospectus, we had 20,784,595 shares of common stock and no preferred shares outstanding. Accordingly, we may issue up to an additional 469,215,405 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock. The future issuance of common stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing shareholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis including for services or acquisitions or other corporate actions that may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our stockholders, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock. Our board of directors may designate the rights, terms and preferences of our authorized but unissued preferred shares at its discretion including conversion and voting preferences without notice to our shareholders.
17
We will be subject to the 15(d) reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, upon effectiveness of this registration statement which does not require a company to file all the same reports and information as a fully reporting company.
Upon effectiveness of this registration statement, we will be subject to the 15(d) reporting requirements according to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We are required to file the necessary reports in the fiscal year that the registration statement is declared effective. After that fiscal year and provided that we have less than 300 shareholders, we are not required to file these reports. If the reports are not filed, the investors will have reduced information about us including about our business, plan of operations and financial condition. In addition, as a filer subject to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, we are not required to prepare proxy or information statements; our common stock will not be subject to the protection of the going private regulations; we will be subject to only limited portions of the tender offer rules; our officers, directors, and more than ten percent (10%) shareholders are not required to file beneficial ownership reports about their holdings of our common shares; that these persons will not be subject to the short-swing profit recovery provisions of the Exchange Act; and that more than five percent (5%) holders of classes of your equity securities will not be required to report information about their ownership positions in the securities.
There is no assurance of a public market or that our common stock will ever trade on a recognized stock exchange. Therefore, you may be unable to liquidate your investment in our stock.
There is no established public trading market for our common stock. Our shares have not been listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, which operates the OTC Bulletin Board, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved or that a regular trading market will develop or that if developed, will be sustained. In the absence of a trading market, an investor may be unable to liquidate their investment.
Because we do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our payment of any future dividends will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors after considering whether we have generated sufficient revenues, our financial condition, operating results, cash needs, growth plans and other factors. Accordingly, investors that are seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock.
As an issuer of “penny stock” the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward looking statements does not apply to us.
Although the federal securities law provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, if we are a penny stock we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any claim that the material provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading.
18
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of the statements in this prospectus are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements involve certain known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others, the factors set forth above under “Risk Factors”. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update and revise any forward-looking statements or to publicly announce the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements in this document to reflect any future or developments. However, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 is not available to us as a non-reporting issuer. Further, Section 27A(b)(2)(D) of the Securities Act and Section 21E(b)(2)(D) of the Securities Exchange Act expressly state that the safe harbor for forward looking statements does not apply to statements made in connection with an initial public offering.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive proceeds from the sale of the shares by selling shareholders.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
In September and October of 2014, we sold 584,597 shares of our common stock at the price of $0.15 per share, or an aggregate of $87,690, and issued 200,000 shares for services rendered, which we valued at the price of $0.15 per share, to selling shareholders named in this registration statement. We are registering 358,948 shares sold for cash consideration and 80,000 common shares issued for services rendered.
Our management has determined the offering price for the common shares being registered in this offering on behalf of the selling shareholders. The offering price of the shares has been determined arbitrarily by us. It is not based upon an independent assessment of the value of our shares and should not be considered as such. The price of the shares the selling shareholders are offering was arbitrarily determined. The offering price bears no relationship whatsoever to our assets, earnings, book value or other criteria of value. The factors considered were:
·Our limited revenues;
·Our growth potential; and
·The price we believe a purchaser is willing to pay for our stock.
The offering price of the shares by the selling shareholders does not bear any relationship to our assets, results of operations, or book value, or to any other generally accepted criteria of valuation. Prior to this offering, there has been no market for our securities. Accordingly, the offering price should not be considered an indication of the actual value of the securities.
DILUTION
Not applicable. We are not offering any shares in this registration statement. All shares are being registered on behalf of our selling shareholders.
19
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The selling shareholders named below are selling the securities described below. The table assumes that all of the securities will be sold in this offering. However, any or all of the securities listed below may be retained by any of the selling security holders, and therefore, no accurate forecast can be made as to the number of securities that will be held by the selling security holders upon termination of this offering.
We believe that the selling shareholders listed in the table have sole voting and investment powers with respect to the securities indicated. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the securities by the selling security holders. None of our selling shareholders is or is affiliated with a broker-dealer. All selling shareholders may be deemed underwriters. The percentages below are based upon 20,784,595 common shares outstanding.
Our selling shareholders hold an aggregate of 784,597 common shares as reflected in the chart below from our inception to present, we sold 584,597 common shares to 20 persons for aggregate cash consideration of $87,690 or $0.15 per share, and issued 200,000 common shares for services to the two selling shareholders. We are registering 358,948 common shares sold for cash consideration and 80,000 common shares issued for services. We are not registering common shares held directly or indirectly by our officers or directors.
We relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended for the offer and sale of the securities in the chart below. We believe that Section 4(2) was available because:
·Each investor had a pre-existing relationship with one or more of: (i) our chief executive officer, president and director, Dr. Barjinder Sohal, (ii) our vice president and director, Dr. Nitan Arora, and (iii) our treasurer, secretary and director, Ms. Navjot Nanda, at the time of the offer and sale;
·None of these issuances involved underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions;
·Restrictive legends were and will be placed on all certificates issued as described above; and
·The offer and sale of the securities did not involve general solicitation or advertising.
In connection with the foregoing transactions, we provided the following to all investors.
·Access to all of our books and records.
·Access to all material contracts and documents relating to our operations.
·The opportunity to obtain any additional information, to the extent we possessed such information, necessary to verify the accuracy of the information to which the investors were given access.

Prospective investors were invited to review at our offices, at any reasonable hour, after reasonable advance notice, any materials available to us concerning our business.
The holders of our shares of common stock and persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future should be aware that there may be significant state law restrictions upon the ability of investors to resell our shares. Accordingly, even if we are successful in having the shares available for trading on the OTCBB, investors should consider any secondary market for the Company's securities to be a limited one. We intend to seek coverage and publication of information regarding the Company in an accepted publication which permits a "manual exemption”. This manual exemption permits a security to be distributed in a particular state without being registered if the company issuing the security has a listing for that security in a securities manual recognized by the state. However, it is not enough for the security to be listed in a recognized manual. The listing entry must contain following: (1) the names of issuers, officers, and directors, (2) an issuer's balance sheet, and (3) a profit and loss statement for either the fiscal year preceding the balance sheet or for the most recent fiscal year of operations. We may not be able to secure a listing containing all of this information. Furthermore, the manual exemption is a non-issuer exemption restricted to secondary trading transactions, making it unavailable for issuers selling newly issued securities. Most of the accepted manuals published that many states expressly recognize are Standard and Poor's, Moody's Investor Service, Fitch's Investment Service, and Best's Insurance Reports. A smaller number of states declare that they “recognize securities manuals” but do not specify the recognized manuals. The following states do not have any provisions and therefore do not expressly recognize the manual exemption: Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Montana, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont and Wisconsin.
We currently do not intend to and may not be able to qualify securities for resale in other states which require shares to be qualified before they can be resold by our shareholders.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The following description is a summary of the material terms of the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
We are authorized to issue 490,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock. As of the date of this prospectus there are 20,784,595 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding held by 25 stockholders of record, and no shares of our preferred stock outstanding.
Common Stock
Each share of our common stock entitles the holder to one (1) vote, either in person or by proxy, at meetings of shareholders. The shareholders are not permitted to vote their shares cumulatively. Accordingly, the holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting rights on matters presented to our common stockholders can elect all of our directors and, in such event, the holders of the remaining minority shares will not be able to elect any such directors. The vote of the holders of a majority of the holders entitled to vote on matters submitted to our common stockholders including of our preferred stock described below is sufficient to authorize, affirm, ratify, or consent to such act or action, except as otherwise provided by law.
To date, we have paid no cash dividends on our shares of common stock. Any future payment of dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other things, our future earnings, operating and financial condition, capital requirements, and other factors. We have no present plans for future cash or stock dividends. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to provide funds for operation of our business.
Holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights.
Upon our liquidation or dissolution, the assets legally available for distribution to holders of shares of the common stock, after payment of all of our obligations, are distributable ratably among the holders of the then outstanding common stock.
22
Preferred Stock
We are authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $.0001 per share. Our board of directors can designate the rights, terms, designations and preferences without notice to or a vote of our stockholders.
Florida Anti-Takeover Laws
As a Florida corporation, we are subject to certain anti-takeover provisions that apply to public corporations under Florida law. Pursuant to Section 607.0901 of the Florida Business Corporation Act, or the Florida Act, a publicly held Florida corporation may not engage in a broad range of business combinations or other extraordinary corporate transactions with an interested shareholder without the approval of the holders of two-thirds of the voting shares of the corporation (excluding shares held by the interested shareholder), unless:
·The transaction is approved by a majority of disinterested directors before the shareholder becomes an interested shareholder;
·The interested shareholder has owned at least 80% of the corporation’s outstanding voting shares for at least five years preceding the announcement date of any such business combination;
·The interested shareholder is the beneficial owner of at least 90% of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, exclusive of shares acquired directly from the corporation in a transaction not approved by a majority of the disinterested directors; or
·The consideration paid to the holders of the corporation’s voting stock is at least equal to certain fair price criteria.
An interested shareholder is defined as a person who, together with affiliates and associates, beneficially owns more than 10% of a corporation’s outstanding voting shares. We have not made an election in our amended Articles of Incorporation to opt out of Section 607.0901.
In addition, we are subject to Section 607.0902 of the Florida Act which prohibits the voting of shares in a publicly held Florida corporation that are acquired in a control share acquisition unless (i) our board of directors approved such acquisition prior to its consummation or (ii) after such acquisition, in lieu of prior approval by our board of directors, the holders of a majority of the corporation’s voting shares, exclusive of shares owned by officers of the corporation, employee directors or the acquiring party, approve the granting of voting rights as to the shares acquired in the control share acquisition. A control share acquisition is defined as an acquisition that immediately thereafter entitles the acquiring party to 20% or more of the total voting power in an election of directors.
MARKET FOR OUR SECURITIES AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS
There is presently no established public trading market for our shares of common stock. We anticipate on applying for trading of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms apart. However, we can provide no assurance that our shares of common stock will be traded on the Bulletin Board or, if traded, that a public market will materialize.
Holders
As of the date of this registration statement, we had 25 shareholders of our common stock.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
Island Stock Transfer is currently the transfer agent and registrar for our common stock. Island Stock Transfer’s address is 15500 Roosevelt Boulevard, Suite 301 Clearwater, FL 33760. Its phone number is 727-289-0010. Its email is info@islandstocktransfer.com.
23
Dividends
Since inception we have not paid any dividends on our common stock. We currently do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future on our common stock. Although we intend to retain our earnings, if any, to finance the exploration and growth of our business, our Board of Directors will have the discretion to declare and pay dividends in the future. Payment of dividends in the future will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements, and other factors, which our Board of Directors may deem relevant.
Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
We presently do not have any equity based or other long-term incentive programs. In the future, we may adopt and establish an equity-based or other long-term incentive plan if it is in the best interest of the Company and our shareholders to do so.
Penny Stock Considerations
Our shares will be "penny stocks", as that term is generally defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to mean equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. Thus, our shares will be subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock.
Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer must make a special suitability determination regarding the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt.
In addition, under the penny stock regulations, the broker-dealer is required to:
·Deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt;
·Disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and our registered representatives and current bid and offer quotations for the securities;
·Send monthly statements disclosing recent price information pertaining to the penny stock held in a customer's account, the account's value, and information regarding the limited market in penny stocks; and
·Make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction, prior to conducting any penny stock transaction in the customer's account.
Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling shareholders or other holders to sell their shares in the secondary market, and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities, if our securities become publicly traded. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may be decreased, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Our shares in all probability will be subject to such penny stock rules and our shareholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their securities.
OTC Bulletin Board Qualification for Quotation
To have our shares of common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, a market maker must file an application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. We have engaged in preliminary discussions with a FINRA Market Maker to file our application on Form 211 with FINRA, but as of the date of this Prospectus, no filing has been made. Based upon our counsel's prior experience, we anticipate that after this registration statement is declared effective, it will take approximately 2 - 8 weeks for FINRA to issue a trading symbol and allow sales of our common stock under Rule 144.
24
Sales of our common stock under Rule 144
We presently have 20,784,595 common shares outstanding. Of these shares 784,597 common shares are held by non-affiliates and 19,999,998 common shares are held by affiliates, which Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 defines as restricted securities. None of our outstanding shares are eligible for resale under Rule 144.
438,948 shares of our common shares held by non-affiliates and no shares held by affiliates are being registered in this offering. The remaining non-affiliate shares as well as all of the remaining affiliates’ shares will still be subject to the resale restrictions of Rule 144. In general, persons holding restricted securities, including affiliates, must hold their shares for a period of at least six months, may not sell more than one percent of the total issued and outstanding shares in any 90-day period, and must resell the shares in an unsolicited brokerage transaction at the market price. The availability for sale of substantial amounts of common stock under Rule 144 could reduce prevailing market prices for our securities.
Reports to Shareholders
As a result of this offering and assuming the registration statement is declared effective before December 31, 2015, as required under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we will file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission through December 31, 2015, including a Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, assuming this registration statement is declared effective before that date. At or prior to December 31, 2015, we intend voluntarily to file a registration statement on Form 8-A which will subject us to all of the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act. This will require us to file quarterly and annual reports with the SEC and will also subject us to the proxy rules of the SEC. In addition, our officers, directors and 10% stockholders will be required to submit reports to the SEC on their stock ownership and stock trading activity. We are not required under Section 12(g) or otherwise to become a mandatory 1934 Act filer unless we have more than 500 shareholders and total assets of more than $10 million on December 31, 2015. If we do not file a registration statement on Form 8-A at or prior to December 31, 2015, we will continue as a voluntary reporting company and will not be subject to the proxy statement or other information requirements of the 1934 Act, our securities can no longer be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and our officers, directors and 10% stockholders will not be required to submit reports to the SEC on their stock ownership and stock trading activity. We will deliver an annual report to our security holders that will include audited financial statements regardless of whether we are obligated to do so.
Where You Can Find Additional Information
We have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form S-1. For further information about us and the shares of common stock to be sold in the offering, please refer to the registration statement and the exhibits and schedules thereto. The registration statement and exhibits and any materials we file with the Commission may be read and copied, at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F St., N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549, on official business days during the hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the Commission and state the address of that site (http://www.sec.gov). Our registration statement and other information we file with the SEC is available at the web site maintained by the SEC at http://www.sec.gov.

DNA Testing Technologies
DNA testing generates genetic profile information by analyzing an organism’s unique genetic identity. The process of identifying unique variations in a genome is referred to as DNA testing. DNA testing is the standard method used for forensic identification, ancestry tracing and to confirm paternity and other family relationships.
We provide two types of DNA testing.
The first is composed of ancestral testing (both paternal and maternal), paternity testing (informational and legal), prenatal gender testing, and twin diagnostic testing.
The second tests for disease predisposition. These tests can identify a person’s genetic risk for cancer, heart conditions, inherited conditions, nutrition, fitness response, and drug response to medication.
A DNA profile can be determined from any type of biological specimen containing nuclear DNA, including blood or a tissue sample, such as a cheek swab or saliva.
DNA testing currently used for identity purposes examines specific sequences of DNA that exhibit variability between different individuals. Our tests use SNP genotyping, DNA sequencing and STR markers.
SNP Genotyping
A SNP is a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism. These are single base pairs in a genome that exhibit variation across the human population. There are two applications a SNP can be used for, one is whole genome association studies and the other is point mutation. In whole genome association studies, large amounts of data in the form of SNPs are gathered from a sample of people. Depending on what the target of the study is, associations can be made based on a person’s SNP profile. Here is a fictitious example: a person with an “A” base at position 765,659 on chromosome 11 has a 100 times higher likelihood of developing a rare form of cancer than a person with a “T” base. This is not a definitive diagnosis but can definitely be helpful information for the patient in terms of preventative care.
27
A SNP marker can also detect a genetic disease like cystic fibrosis. In this case the SNP (or 3 base pairs in the case of cystic fibrosis) will show definitively if a person has the disease or not. The association is 100%.
DNA Sequencing
In DNA sequencing, 300-500 base pair stretches of DNA are elucidated to show a more complete picture. DNA sequencing is helpful in determining genetic disorders that SNP analysis alone cannot do. DNA sequencing is also critical in the development of SNP assays.
STR Markers
A short tandem repeat (“STR”) is a portion of DNA in which small sequences are repeated a variable number of times. Typically, there are 10 to 25 possible variations of a given human STR marker, with each person having just one or two variations. By looking at a moderate number of STRs, a DNA profile is determined that is virtually unique for each individual. STRs are the most common genetic markers used in the industry to determine identity in forensic, paternity and security applications.
Our Products
We sell the following types of DNA test kits to medical practitioners and directly to consumers located in Canada:
Prenatal Gender Test
The Prenatal Gender Test determines gender after 7 weeks of gestation. This test works by looking for a Y chromosome within the mother’s blood.
Paternity Test – Informational
The Paternity Test uses a cheek swab collected from both the child and the alleged father to determine parentage. DNA Testing Centers uses a 15 genetic marker analysis.
Paternity Test - Legal
The Paternity Test uses a cheek swab collected from both the child and the alleged father to determine parentage. DNA Testing Centers uses a 15 genetic marker analysis. This test must be performed at a medical clinic and is designed to be used in legal proceedings to establish paternity.
Kinship Testing
A DNA kinship test determines the relationship between two or more individuals to assess an alleged relationship such as full or half siblings, grandparents and aunts or uncles
Ancestral Origins Testing
The Ancestry test provides an estimated percentage of ancestry from four different population groups: Indigenous American, European, East Asian and Sub-Saharan African.
Genetic Predisposition
Genetic predisposition testing can identify a person’s predisposition for over 70 health conditions based upon their DNA.
Carrier Test Identification
Carrier test identification can identify individuals who carry a genetic disorder.
28
Drug Response Testing
Drug response testing identifies uses a person’s DNA to identify metabolism enzymes and transporters that have been linked to harmful reactions with common medical prescriptions.
The Testing Process
Our DNA test kits include swabs to collect a saliva sample, detailed instructions and pre-labeled packaging to send the sample to us. Upon receipt of the sample, it is registered in our database and sent to a third party laboratory to be interpreted. All tests are interpreted by either US laboratories accredited by CLIA and CAP or Canadian laboratories accredited by the Standard Council of Canada and CAP. After interpretation, the laboratory delivers the test results to us by email. Upon receipt, we enter the results in our customer database and deliver the results to the consumer by email.
The results for paternity tests and Y-chromosome relationship tests and grandparent or uncle or aunt tests, are interpreted within 4 to 5 business days of the lab’s receipt of the test. Ancestry origin tests are interpreted within 21 to 28 days of receipt. Genetic predisposition test including diet and fitness testing are interpreted within 28-42 days of receipt. We typically deliver the test results to the customer by email within 1 to 4 days after our receipt.
Revenues
To date, all of our revenues have been generated from the sale of our test kits. We sell our DNA test kits directly to consumers and medical professionals in Canada. During the year ending December 31, 2014, and 2013, we sold 166 and 129 total test kits as follows:

Dependence on a Few Customers
In the year ended December 31, 2014, two customers accounted for 30.44% of our revenues. The two customers represented 15.41% and 15.03% of our revenues such period. As a result, a material portion of our revenues are concentrated in a few customers. Should either of these two customers decrease or cease ordering products from us, our revenues and results of operations will be negatively affected.
Suppliers
We purchase our DNA test components from Pro Printing and Mailing Services Inc. located at 1235 Trafalgar Road, Oakville, Ontario, L6H 3P1 and assemble the products at our facilities, or we purchase finished kits previously from Pathway Genomics Lab, 4045 Sorrento Valley Boulevard, San Diego, CA 92121.
Marketing Strategy
Our first product sale was in April of 2010. We have not yet implemented a marketing strategy and all sales to date have been generated by our website or related parties. Sales generated from our website are placed by phone order. We presently offer our paternity testing kits for purchase on our website. We plan to offer an online shopping cart featuring all of our products by May 30, 2015.
Our core marketing strategy is to brand our “DNA For Family” slogan for those seeking information that can be determined by DNA testing such as kinships and ancestry and our “DNA For Health” slogan for those seeking to improve their health by DNA testing to determine disease predisposition, nutrition and fitness testing.
We plan to begin implementing our marketing plan in April of 2015.
·In April of 2015, we plan to begin creating email materials for our marketing campaign for physicians, medical practitioners and fitness centers in Canada;
·In April of 2015, we plan to begin social media campaigns on Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin and other websites to market our products;
·In May of 2015, we plan to establish Google AdWords and search engine optimization campaigns targeting consumers in Canada;
·In May of 2015, we plan to start advertising our products in medical journals and fitness magazines;
·In June of 2015, we plan to offer incentives for medical practitioners, medical facilities and fitness centers that purchase our products on a repeat basis; and
·In September of 2015, we plan to offer event promotions to medical offices, clinics and fitness centers in Canada to demonstrate our products.
We also plan to attract medical practitioners and their customers through the existing relationships of our chief executive officer, president and director, Dr. Barjinder Sohal, a licensed physician, and Dr. Nitan Arora, our vice president and director, a chiropractic physician.
We believe that a marketing mix of social media, email advertising, print advertising in medical journals and health/ fitness publications, internet advertising and medical office and fitness center event promotions providing information and sample test kits is an optimal strategy to increase sales.
30
Raw Materials
Raw materials used by us in our DNA test kits are available from a variety of suppliers. We maintain a good relationship with our suppliers and do not anticipate that any of our suppliers will terminate their relationship with us in the near term. In the event, we are unable to obtain any of our raw materials from our suppliers, we believe that we could obtain alternative sources of any raw materials from other suppliers. We do not have contracts with our suppliers and we order our raw materials on an as-needed basis. We have not experienced any material adverse effect on our business as a result of shortages of raw materials. An unexpected interruption or a shortage in supply of raw materials could adversely affect our business derived from these products.
Research and Development
All of our research to date has been done by Dr. Barjinder Sohal, our chief executive officer, president and director who is a licensed physician in Canada and Dr. Nitan Arora, our vice president and director, who is a licensed chiropractic physician in Canada. We have not spent any amounts on research and development in the prior two years.
Government Regulation
There are no regulations in Canada governing our sale of DNA testing kits directly to consumers or medical practitioners.
Employees
As of the date of this registration statement, we have 5 employees, as follows:
·3 are our officers and/or directors, of which 2 are doctors
·1 clerical employee who distributes tests, and handles calls, and emails
·1 administrative employee who handles office management and oversees development of content for our website
None of our employees are represented by a collective bargaining agreement, nor have we experienced any work stoppages. We believe that we maintain good relationships with our employees.
Competition
We compete with other companies offering DNA testing products in Canada that are similar to or substantially the same as the products offered by us. This may put us at a competitive disadvantage since our tests are not unique. Our competitors include www.thednalab.com, www.dnacanada.com, and www.easyDNA.ca. Competitors for our over-the-counter ancestry testing kits include dna.ancestry.com, www.accu-metrics.com and www.medcan.com.
To compete, we plan to:
·develop a user friendly appealing website to sell our DNA testing kits directly to consumers and medical practitioners in Canada;
·develop our slogans “DNA For Family” and “DNA For Health”;
·attract medical practitioners and their customers through the existing relationships of our chief executive officer, president and director, Dr. Barjinder Sohal, a licensed physician, and Dr. Nitan Arora, our vice president and director, a chiropractic physician; and
·implement our marketing plan that includes incentives for medical practitioners, medical facilities and fitness centers that purchase our products on a repeat basis.
31
The DNA testing and product market is highly competitive and rapidly changing. Our ability to compete depends upon many factors within and outside our control, including the performance and reliability of our test kits, customer service, marketing efforts and development of our logs and brand name. Due to the relatively low barriers to entry in the DNA testing products market in Canada we expect additional competition from other emerging companies. Many of our existing and potential competitors are substantially larger than us and have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources. As a result, they may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies for DNA testing products. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors or that competitive pressure will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
Property
We rent our office space at 2378 Parkhaven Boulevard, Oakville, Ontario, L6H 0E7, Canada from Navjot Nanda.

Seasonality
Our business is not affected by seasonal factors.
Intellectual Property
We have no registered or patented intellectual property. Trademarks and trade names distinguish the various companies from each other. If customers are unable to distinguish our products from those of other companies, we could lose sales to our competitors. We do not have any registered trademarks and trade names, so we only have common law rights with respect to infractions or infringements on its products. Many subtleties exist in product descriptions, offering and names that can easily confuse customers. The name of our principal products may be found in numerous variations of the name and descriptions in various media and product labels. This presents a risk of losing potential customers looking for our products and buying someone else’s because they cannot differentiate between them.

As of April 14, 2015, we had cash on hand of $27,102 for our operational needs. Meeting the milestones above is dependent upon us having sufficient capital. We do not presently have sufficient funds available to complete our plan of operations and there is no assurance we will have sufficient funds available to implement our plan of operations which could cause you to lose your investment.
Currently, our operating expenses are approximately $3,500 per month. After this registration statement is declared effective, our operating expenses will be approximately $8,500 per month. If we fail to generate sufficient revenues or raise additional funds to meet our monthly operating costs of $8,500, we will not have available cash for our operating needs after approximately 3 months.

During September and October of 2014, we raised $87,690 from the sale of our common shares to investors for cash consideration. $11,000 of the proceeds were received in October 2014 and, therefore, was recorded as a note receivable as of September 30, 2014.
For the year ending December 31, 2013 and 2014, we incurred operating expenses of $22, 656 and $88, 379 respectively. As of December 31, 2014 we had current liabilities of $17,328.
For the years ending December 31, 2013 and 2014, we had net income of $443 and a net loss of $61,264 respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014 we had net cash provided by operations of $443 and net cash used in operations of $14,120 respectively, and shareholders’ equity of $53,379. In the year ended December 31, 2014, two customers accounted for 30.44% of our revenues. The two customers represented 15.41% and 15.03% of our revenues such period. As a result, a material portion of our revenues are concentrated in a few customers. Should either of these two customers decrease or cease ordering products from us, our revenues and results of operations will be negatively affected.
35
We currently have no external sources of liquidity, such as arrangements with credit institutions or off-balance sheet arrangements that will have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or immediate access to capital.
We are dependent on the sale of our securities to fund our operations, and will remain so until we generate sufficient revenues to pay for our operating costs. Our officers and directors have made no written commitments with respect to providing a source of liquidity in the form of cash advances, loans and/or financial guarantees.
If we are unable to raise the funds required to fund our operations, we will seek alternative financing through other means, such as borrowings from institutions or private individuals. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the capital we need for our operations from the sale of our securities. We have not located any sources for these funds and may not be able to do so in the future. We expect that we will seek additional financing in the future. However, we may not be able to obtain additional capital or generate sufficient revenues to fund our operations. If we are unsuccessful at raising sufficient funds, for whatever reason, to fund our operations, we may be forced to cease operations. If we fail to raise funds, we expect that we will be required to seek protection from creditors under applicable bankruptcy laws.
Significant Accounting Policies
We report revenues and expenses using the accrual method of accounting for financial and tax reporting purposes.
Cash and cash equivalents – Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Revenue recognition – The Company’s financial statements are prepared under the accrual method of accounting. Revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. This occurs only when the services are rendered.
Financial instruments – The carrying amount of our financial instruments, consisting of cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts and notes payable, short-term borrowings and certain other liabilities, approximate their fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The carrying amount of our long-term debt approximates fair value since the stated rate of interest approximates a market rate of interest.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements – We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
Emerging Growth Company
We are an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act. We shall continue to be deemed an emerging growth company until the earliest of:
·The last day of our fiscal year during which we have had total annual gross revenues of $1,000,000,000 (as such amount is indexed for inflation every 5 years by the Commission to reflect the change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, setting the threshold to the nearest 1,000,000) or more;
·The last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common equity securities pursuant to an effective IPO registration statement.
·The date on which we have, during the previous 3-year period, issued more than $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt; or
·The date on which we are deemed to be a‘large accelerated filer’, as defined in section 240.12b-2 of title 17, Code of Federal Regulations, or any successor thereto.
36
As an emerging growth company we are exempt from Section 404(b) of Sarbanes Oxley. Section 404(a) requires issuers to publish information in their annual reports concerning the scope and adequacy of the internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting. This statement shall also assess the effectiveness of such internal controls and procedures. Section 404(b) requires that the registered accounting firm shall, in the same report, attest to and report on the assessment and the effectiveness of the internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting.
As an emerging growth company we are also exempt from Section 14A (a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which requires the shareholder approval of executive compensation and golden parachutes. These exemptions are also available to us as a Smaller Reporting Company.
We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(2) of the JOBS Act, that allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Our common stock is currently not quoted on any market. No market may ever develop for our common stock, or if developed, may not be sustained in the future. Accordingly, our shares should be considered totally illiquid, which inhibits investors’ ability to resell their shares.
Selling shareholders are offering up to 438,948 shares of common stock. The selling shareholders will offer their shares at $0.25 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. We will not receive proceeds from the sale of shares from the selling shareholders.
The securities offered by this prospectus will be sold by the selling shareholders. Selling shareholders in this offering may be considered underwriters. We are not aware of any underwriting arrangements that have been entered into by the selling shareholders. The distribution of the securities by the selling shareholders may be effected in one or more transactions that may take place in the over-the-counter market, including broker's transactions or privately negotiated transactions.
42
The selling shareholders may pledge all or a portion of the securities owned as collateral for margin accounts or in loan transactions, and the securities may be resold pursuant to the terms of such pledges, margin accounts or loan transactions. Upon default by such selling shareholders, the pledge in such loan transaction would have the same rights of sale as the selling shareholders under this prospectus. The selling shareholders may also enter into exchange traded listed option transactions, which require the delivery of the securities listed under this prospectus. After our securities are qualified for quotation on the over the counter bulletin board, the selling shareholders may also transfer securities owned in other ways not involving market makers or established trading markets, including directly by gift, distribution, or other transfer without consideration, and upon any such transfer the transferee would have the same rights of sale as such selling shareholders under this prospectus.
In addition to the above, each of the selling shareholders will be affected by the applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including, without limitation, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the securities by the selling shareholders or any such other person. We have instructed our selling shareholders that they may not purchase any of our securities while they are selling shares under this registration statement.
Upon this registration statement being declared effective, the selling shareholders may offer and sell their shares from time to time until all of the shares registered are sold; however, this offering may not extend beyond two years from the initial effective date of this registration statement.
There can be no assurances that the selling shareholders will sell any or all of the securities. In various states, the securities may not be sold unless these securities have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of our securities. Pursuant to oral promises we made to the selling shareholders, we will pay all the fees and expenses incident to the registration of the securities.
Should any substantial change occur regarding the status or other matters concerning the selling shareholders or us, we will file a post-effective amendment to this registration statement disclosing such matters.
OTC Bulletin Board Considerations
To be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, a market maker must file an application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. We anticipate that after this registration statement is declared effective, market makers will enter “piggyback” quotes and our securities will thereafter trade on the OTC Bulletin Board.
The OTC Bulletin Board is separate and distinct from the NASDAQ stock market. NASDAQ has no business relationship with issuers of securities quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. The SEC’s order handling rules, which apply to NASDAQ-listed securities, do not apply to securities quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.
Although the NASDAQ stock market has rigorous listing standards to ensure the high quality of its issuers, and can delist issuers for not meeting those standards, the OTC Bulletin Board has no listing standards. Rather, it is the market maker who chooses to quote a security on the system, files the application, and is obligated to comply with keeping information about the issuer in its files. FINRA cannot deny an application by a market maker to quote the stock of a company. The only requirement for inclusion in the bulletin board is that the issuer be current in its reporting requirements with the SEC.
Although we anticipate listing on the OTC Bulletin Board will increase liquidity for our stock, investors may have greater difficulty in getting orders filled because it is anticipated that if our stock trades on a public market, it initially will trade on the OTC Bulletin Board rather than on NASDAQ. Investors’ orders may be filled at a price much different than expected when an order is placed. Trading activity in general is not conducted as efficiently and effectively as with NASDAQ-listed securities.
Investors must contact a broker-dealer to trade OTC Bulletin Board securities. Investors do not have direct access to the bulletin board service. For bulletin board securities, there only has to be one market maker.
43
Bulletin board transactions are conducted almost entirely manually. Because there are no automated systems for negotiating trades on the bulletin board, they are conducted via telephone. In times of heavy market volume, the limitations of this process may result in a significant increase in the time it takes to execute investor orders. Therefore, when investors place market orders - an order to buy or sell a specific number of shares at the current market price - it is possible for the price of a stock to go up or down significantly during the lapse of time between placing a market order and getting execution.
Because bulletin board stocks are usually not followed by analysts, there may be lower trading volume than for NASDAQ-listed securities.
We are not aware of any pending or threatened legal proceedings in which we are involved.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES LIABILITIES
Our Bylaws, subject to the provisions of Florida Law, contain provisions which allow the corporation to indemnify any person against liabilities and other expenses incurred as the result of defending or administering any pending or anticipated legal issue in connection with service to us if it is determined that person acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed was in the best interest of the corporation. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
DNA Testing Centers, Corp.
2378 Pakhaven Blvd.
Oakville, ON L6H 0E7
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DNA Testing Centers, Corp.
and its subsidiary (collectively the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DNA Testing Centers, Corp. and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has accumulated deficit and negative cash flows from operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

DNA Testing Centers, Corp.
Notes to Financial Statements
Years Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of Business
DNA Testing Centers, Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Florida on July 3, 2014. On July 3, 2014, the company acquired DNA Testing Centers of Canada Ltd. DNA Testing Centers of Canada Ltd. performs testing related to analyzing and monitoring an individual’s genetic makeup. The acquisition will be treated consolidated as an entity under common control.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of DNA Testing Centers Corp (the “Company,” “we” or “our”) 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, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto of the Company contained elsewhere herein the Company’s Form S-1.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented have been reflected herein.
Consolidation of Subsidiaries
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DNA Testing Centers of Canada Ltd., our wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States necessarily requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. We regularly evaluate estimates and judgment based on historical experience and other relevant facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents -Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Revenue recognition -Revenue are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. This occurs only when the services are rendered.
Income taxes -Deferred tax asset and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. These assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reserve.
We have net operating loss carry-forwards available to reduce future taxable income. Future tax benefits for these operating loss carry-forwards are recognized to the extent that realization of these benefits is considered more likely than not. To the extent that we will not realize a future tax benefit, a valuation allowance is established.
Financial instrument -The carrying amount of our financial instruments, consisting of cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts and notes payable, short-term borrowings and certain other liabilities, approximates fair value since the stated rate of interest approximates a market rate of interest.
50
Foreign currency translation -Assets and liabilities of Canadian operations are translated into United States dollar equivalents using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates during each period. Adjustments resulting from the process of translating foreign functional currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in common shareholders' equity. Foreign currency transaction gain and losses are included in the current earnings and totaled $3,490 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Going concern - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has accumulated deficit of $60,921 as of December 31, 2014, and realized negative cash flows from operations totaling $14,120 for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company currently has limited liquidity, and has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time.
Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund operating expenses. The Company intends to position itself so that it may be able to raise additional funds through the capital markets. In light of management’s efforts, there are no assurances that the Company will be successful in this or any of its endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern.
Property and equipment - Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Major additions and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation of property and equipment is determined using the straight-line method over the useful life, which is estimated at ten years. Gains or losses on the sale or disposal of property and equipment are included in the statements of operations. Maintenance and repairs that do not extend the useful life of the assets are expensed as incurred.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets– Long-lived assets, including property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The evaluation of recoverability is performed using undiscounted estimated net cash flows generated by the related asset. If an asset is deemed to be impaired, the amount of impairment is determined as the amount by which the net carrying value exceeds discounted estimated cash flows.
Reclassification–Certain reclassifications may have been made to our prior year’s consolidated financial statements to conform to our current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on our previously reported results of operations or accumulated deficit.One of our major customers for 2013 and 2014 was previously perceived as a related party. Upon further review this customer has never met the definition of a related party and therefore we are reclassifying sales that were previously presented as related parties.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements – We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES
The Company uses the liability method, where deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting purposes. In 2014 the Company incurred a net loss in the amount of $ 61, 264 which is to be carried forward and will be applied to future taxable income.
51
The Company had deferred income tax assets as of December 31, 2014, and 2013 as follows:

NOTE 4 - ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
The Company operates as a full-time business and has one full time employee, office rent and other ongoing obligations. It shares the expenses with several sister companies, all with common ownership. Such expenses are allocated to the company based on the share of use.
NOTE 5 – MAJOR CUSTOMERS
In 2014, the main revenues were from testing performed related to analyzing and monitoring an individual’s genetic makeup and sale of DNA testing kits.In 2014, revenues were from two different customers for DNA tests who accounted for 30.44% of the revenues, one at 15.41% and one at 15.03%.

Florida law permits, under certain circumstances, the indemnification of any person with respect to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to which such person was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party, by reason of his or her being an officer, director, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against liability incurred in connection with such proceeding, including appeals thereof; provided, however, that the officer, director, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any such third-party action by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction or upon a plea ofnolo contendere or its equivalent does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person (i) did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation or (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. In the case of proceedings by or in the right of the corporation, Florida law permits indemnification of any person by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against liability incurred in connection with such proceeding, including appeals thereof; provided, however, that the officer, director, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification is made where such person is adjudged liable, unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.
To the extent that such person is successful on the merits or otherwise in defending against any such proceeding, Florida law provides that he or she shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.
Also, under Florida law, expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil or criminal proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if he or she is ultimately found not to be entitled to indemnification by the corporation pursuant to this section. Expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be paid in advance upon such terms or conditions that the board of directors deems appropriate.
Our Bylaws provides that we shall indemnify our officers, directors, and employees, and agents unless specifically approved in writing by the board of directors, to the fullest extent authorized by Section 607.0850 of the Florida Business Corporation Act, or the FBCA, as it existed when the Bylaws were adopted or as it may hereafter be amended, but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits us to provide broader indemnification rights than were permitted prior to such amendment. Such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent;provided, however, that we shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnity in connection with an action, suit, or proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such action, suit, or proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the our board of directors.
The Bylaws also provide that such rights of indemnification shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by us for all reasonable expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of final disposition;provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to us of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under the Bylaws or otherwise.
54
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, as amended, may be permitted to our directors and officers, or to persons controlling us, pursuant to our Bylaws or Florida law, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
In addition to the authority granted to us by Florida law to indemnify our directors, certain other provisions of the Florida Act have the effect of further limiting the personal liability of our directors. Pursuant to Florida law, a director of a Florida corporation cannot be held personally liable for monetary damages to the corporation or any other person for any act or failure to act regarding corporate management or policy except in the case of certain qualifying breaches of the director’s duties.
Item 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
The two years prior to this Offering, we offered and sold securities below. None of the issuances involved underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions. We relied upon Sections 4(2) of the Securities Act, and Rule 506 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended for the offer and sale of the securities. We believed these exemptions were available because:
·We are not a blank check company;
·We filed a Form D, Notice of Sales, with the SEC;
·Sales were not made by general solicitation or advertising;
·All certificates had restrictive legends; and
·Sales were made to persons with a pre-existing relationship to members of our management.
In connection with the above transactions, although some of the investors may have also been accredited, we provided the following to all investors:
·Access to all our books and records.
·Access to all material contracts and documents relating to our operations.
·The opportunity to obtain any additional information, to the extent we possessed such information, necessary to verify the accuracy of the information to which the investors were given access.

Item 17. UNDERTAKINGS
*Previously included in our Form S-1 Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 24, 2014.
** Previously included in Amendment 1 to our Form S-1 Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 28, 2015.
***Filed herewith.
All other Exhibits called for by Rule 601 of Regulation SK are not applicable to this filing.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
i. To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
ii. To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
iii. To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
57
(5). Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(6). That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
i. Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
ii. Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
iii. The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
iv. Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
58
