Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2019
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND ORGANIZATION
The Company was incorporated in the State of Washington on March 29, 2017 for the purpose of developing, designing, manufacturing and distributing hand tools. Upon incorporation, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Tribus Innovations, LLC (“Tribus Innovations”) and acquired all of the outstanding ownership interests of Tribus Innovations. Tribus Innovations was formed on December 1, 2015. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger and these financial statements present the historical financial information of Tribus Innovations from its inception and include the financial information of the Company from the completion of the share exchange agreement on March 29, 2017. The Company has not yet realized revenues from its planned business activities.
NOTE 2 – UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLDIATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 2019 and for all periods presented herein, have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s March 31, 2019 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Tribus Innovations LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated on consolidation.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company’s system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that (1) recorded transactions are valid; (2) all valid transactions are recorded and (3) transactions are recorded in the period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the company for the respective periods being presented.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company does not have significant cash or other current assets, nor does it have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs which raises substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Under the going concern assumption, an entity is ordinarily viewed as continuing in business for the foreseeable future with neither the intention nor the necessity of liquidation, ceasing trading, or seeking protection from creditors pursuant to laws or regulations. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are recorded on the basis that the entity will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
June 30, 2019
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN (CONTINUED)
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully execute its plans and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. During the next year, the Company’s foreseeable cash requirements will relate to continual development of the operations of its business, maintaining its good standing and making the requisite filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the payment of expenses associated with research and development. The Company may experience a cash shortfall and be required to raise additional capital. Historically, it has mostly relied upon internally generated funds and funds from the sale of shares of stock to finance its operations and growth. Management may raise additional capital through future public or private offerings of the Company’s stock or through loans from private investors, although there can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain such financing. The Company’s failure to do so could have a material and adverse effect upon it and its shareholders.
NOTE 4 – CURRENT DEPOSITS
During the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company made total advances to a third-party manufacturer of $402,000 in exchange for a discount from the negotiated purchase price of future inventory units. The deposits allowed the Company to receive a discount of approximately $2.46 per unit from the originally agreed upon purchase price on the first 163,415 individual units of inventory manufactured when purchases begin.
During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company entered into a legal dispute with the third-party manufacturer. Among other claims, the Company is seeking a return of the deposits made totaling $402,000. While the dispute is unresolved as of the date the financial statements were issued, the Company, through discussions with outside counsel, believes the deposits totaling $402,000 are likely to be returned to the Company. As such, no reserve against the deposits has been recorded as of June 30, 2019 or March 31, 2019.
NOTE 5 – CAPITAL STOCK

On April 1, 2019, the Company recorded a right of use asset and operating lease liability totaling $207,359 using an imputed interest rate of 25% on its operating leases, equal to the approximate weighted average interest rate imputed on the Company’s existing capital leases. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company made total principal payments on operating leases of $9,447. There was a total operating lease liability of $197,912 as of June 30, 2019 of which $55,933 was current and $141,979 was long term.
The leases require future minimum payments as shown below:

On November 5, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to sublet a portion of its office space on a month to month basis. The sublease will continue on a month to month basis until the sublessor provides notice to execute a long term lease or will have the option to assume the Company’s lease. The sublease requires monthly rental payments of $5,700 with the first month being prorated accordingly. The Company records sublease payments received as other income in the statement of operations resulting in other income of $9,000 being recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2019.
NOTE 7 – LOANS PAYABLE
During the prior fiscal year, the Company entered into a loan in order to acquire a vehicle. The loan is repayable over five years at $541 per month, is secured by the vehicle and bears interest at 0%. Management determined that the fair value of the loan was not significantly different from its face value and therefore no discount has been recorded. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company sold the vehicle for the remaining balance on the loan resulting in a balance due of $0 as of June 30, 2019.
On July 27, 2018, the Company entered into a loan agreement to borrow $100,000. The loan carries an interest rate of 24.37%, is payable over twelve months and due on July 27, 2019. There was $40,594 and $65,464 of principal due as of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively.
During the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company entered into a loan in order to acquire equipment. The loan is repayable over twelve months at $954 per month, is secured by the equipment and bears interest at 0%. Management determined that the fair value of the loan was not significantly different from its face value and therefore no discount has been recorded. There was $8,588 and $10,497 due as of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, all of which was current.
On various dates during the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company entered into three separate verbal loan agreements to purchase equipment totaling $301,651, each with no stated interest rate. The Company recorded the loans using an imputed interest rate of 6.59% per annum, equal to the interest rate associated with other recent borrowings on assets. The first of three loans was for equipment valued at $270,604 and required $27,990 down with six monthly payments of $5,000 and a balloon payment of $221,910 unless otherwise negotiated prior to maturity. The second of three loans was for equipment valued at $24,163 and required $2,500 down with six monthly payments of $1,000 and a balloon payment of $16,395 unless otherwise negotiated prior to maturity.

All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q which address activities, events or developments which the Company expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including such things as future capital expenditures (including the amount and nature thereof); finding suitable merger or acquisition candidates; expansion and growth of the Company's business and operations; and other such matters are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors it believes are appropriate under the circumstances. However, whether actual results or developments will conform with the Company's expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including general economic, market and business conditions; the business opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to and pursued by. the Company; changes in laws or regulation; and other factors, most of which are beyond the control of the Company.
These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of predictive, future-tense or forward-looking terminology, such as "believes," "anticipates," "expects," "estimates," "plans," "may," "will," or similar terms.

Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve significant risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Such factors that could adversely affect actual results and performance include, but are not limited to, the Company's limited operating history, potential fluctuations in quarterly operating results and expenses, government regulation, technological change and competition.
Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by the Company will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequence to or effects on the Company or its business or operations.

General Business Development
The Company was formed on March 29, 2017 in the State of Washington.
Business Strategy
Upon incorporation, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Tribus Innovations, LLC (“Tribus Innovations”) and acquired all of the outstanding ownership interests of Tribus Innovations. Tribus Innovations was formed on December 1, 2015. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger and these financial statements present the historical financial information of Tribus Innovations from its inception and include the financial information of the Company from the completion of the share exchange agreement on March 29, 2017. The Company has not yet realized revenues from its planned business activities. The membership interests of Tribus Innovations, LLC were all held by the officers and directors of Tribus Enterprises, Inc. The Company acquired 100% of the membership interests of Tribus Innovations, LLC in exchange for 2,600,000 of our common shares and 19,999,998 of our shares of Class A preferred stock. Tribus Innovations is currently a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company.
Tribus LLC was formed in December 2015 to develop, manufacture, and market a compelling product line of innovative ratcheting flare nut wrenches which have a Patent Pending since April of 2016, application number: 15/092,056 Duration of Patent should be a standard of 20 years once the patent is granted by the USPTO. Their initial product line uses traditional manufacturing methods of metal forging, subtractive manufacturing (CNC milling), additive manufacturing (3D printing), and plastic injection molding.
Tribus has produced several wrenches already and is setting up the production line for full production this year.
Products
Tribus LLC’s ratcheting flare nut wrench addresses the market in a way that has never been done before; reducing the time it takes to turn inline fasteners.
• Ease of Use – There are no buttons or switches. In order to reverse the tightening direction, simply remove the tool and rotate it 180°.
• Learning Curve – This works the same as a standard open ended wrench but it has the ability to ratchet, saving valuable time. There will be a very short and slight learning curve as the users will simply need to remove the tool off the fastener and line up the open slots to remove the tool completely off the line.
• Heavy Torque application – Due to the design of the pawls that engage into the ratchet, it has at least 4x more contact surfaces than standard ratcheting wrenches. This will translate to much more application of torque.
• Convenience in tight spaces – Pawls have been designed along with corresponding grooves in the ratchet so users can maximize ratchet pitch. It will only take 2°- 4° to get the ratchet to click. This is crucial in tight spaces where there is very little room to swing the ratchet.
Tribus Innovations’ ratcheting flare nut wrench will be produced for sale in the hand tool industry. Historically there have been limited designs in the ratcheting flare nut wrench sales market such as; Gear Wrench part number 89100 (UPC 099575891007) and the traditional non-ratcheting flare nut wrench. These designs do not allow for small incremental movement in confined spaces, whereas Tribus Innovations’ version of the ratcheting flare nut wrench breaks new ground in this market.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In Financial Reporting release No. 60, “CAUTIONARY ADVICE REGARDING DISCLOSURE ABOUT CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES” (“FRR 60”), the Securities and Exchange Commission suggested that companies provide additional disclosure and commentary on their most critical accounting policies. In FRR 60, the SEC defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company's financial condition and operating results, and require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, our most critical accounting policies include: going concern, prepaid inventory and capital leases payable.. The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying these most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”), as of June 30, 2019, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer), who concluded, that because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2019.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the current quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are currently two lawsuits pending in Montgomery County, Ohio involving Tribus. The first is Tribus Enterprises, Inc. v. Dynamic Machine Works, LLC, et al., Montgomery County common Pleas Case No. CV 1393 (“Tribus Lawsuit”). The second is Dynamic Machine Works, LLC v Clark Trost, et al., Montgomery County Common Please Case No. 2019 CV 1753 (“Trost Lawsuit”). There has also been additional litigation threatened by Dynamic Machine Works, LLC (“DMV”)
A. Tribus Lawsuit
Tribus filed the Tribus Lawsuit against DMW on April 1, 2019 and filed an amended complaint against DMW and one of its owners, Nathan Hake, on May 15, 2019. Those complaints assert numerous claims against DMW and Hake arising from their manufacturing relationship. Tribus’s claims against DMW are for breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and promissory estoppel. Tribus’s claims against Hake are for unjust enrichment, fraud, promissory estoppel, conversion, and tortious interference.
Tribus’s claims in the Tribus Lawsuit allege that Hake and DMW misrepresented their expertise and ability in order to obtain the contract to manufacture Tribus’s wrenches. DMW then received $402,000 from Tribus as part of that contract, and ultimately failed to produce any functional wrenches. Tribus’s claims seek the return of the $402,000 paid to DMW, together with any equipment and tooling purchased by Tribus or with Tribus’s funds that continues to be held by DMW or Hake.
DMV has filed counterclaims against Tribus in the Tribus Lawsuit. DMW has sued Tribus for breach of contract, promissory estoppel/detrimental reliance, breach of ND/NCA, theft of trade secrets, tortious interference with prospective and actual business relationships, unjust enrichment, conversion, breach of duty of loyalty or fiduciary duty, unfair competition, deceptive trade practices, and breach of lease agreement.
DMW’s claims against Tribus primarily assert that Tribus stole DMW’s confidential information and trade secrets. Namely, the programming and manufacturing process for the wrenches. DMW also asserts that it was Tribus who breached the contract with DMW. DMW’s counterclaims against Tribus center on Tribus’s decision to terminate its relationship with DMW and enter into an agreement with Clark Trost for the manufacture of the wrenches instead. Trost had been an independent contractor hired by DMW to help DMW manufacture Tribus’s wrenches. DMW’s counterclaims request judgement in excess of $2millon.
To date, the Tribus Lawsuit has seen considerable activity for its nascent stage. It was filed primarily to compel the return of nearly $1.2 million in manufacturing equipment purchased or leased by Tribus and being held at DMW’s facility in Englewood, Ohio. That objective was largely accomplished with the return of the vast majority of the equipment on April 24th, 2019, following a motion for temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction filed on Tribus’s behalf. Certain miscellaneous pieces of equipment remain to be returned however. Those pieces (or their value), and the monetary portion of Tribus’s claims remain to litigated, as do DMW’s counterclaims against Tribus.
Tribus has vigorously prosecuted its claims and defended against DMW’s counterclaims to date. The Compny believes there is a good chance that Tribus will prevail on its claims against DMW, and that DMW will not be successfully on its claims against Tribus will prevail on its claims against DMW, and that DMW will not be successful on its claims against Tribus. Given the range and variety of claims against Tribus by DMW however, it is impossible to provide a range of potential loss with any specificity.
There are additional considerations involving the Tribus Lawsuit. First, DMW has filed a motion with the court to stay that lawsuit and compel arbitration. Tribus has opposed that motion and we are awaiting a decision from the court. Second, Hake has filed bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Ohio, which will necessitate the dismissal of Tribus’s claims against Hake personally. Tribus does not intend to pursue a judgement or claim against Hake in the bankruptcy matter, given the low likelihood of collection and the cost of such pursuit.
None of the above actions name the officers or directors individually.
B. Trost Lawsuit
In addition to its counterclaims against Tribus, DMW filed a separate lawsuit against Clark Trost and two companies he owns, Troust Technologies, Inc. and CNC Holster, LLC (collectively “Trost”). Tribus has signed and engagement letter with McNamee & McNamee, PLL agreeing to be responsible for the attorneys’ fees and costs of representing Trost in the Trost Lawsuit as well.
DMW’s claims against Trost are for breach of ND/NCA, theft of trade secrets, tortious interference with prospective and actual business relations, unjust enrichment, conversion, breach of duty of loyalty or fiduciary duty, unfair competition, deceptive trade practices, and breach of oral sub-lease agreement. DMW’s complaint in the Trost Lawsuit seeks damages in excess of $2 million.
The crux of DMW’s claims in the Trost Lawsuit mirror its counterclaims in the Tribus Lawsuit. In essence, DMW maintains that Tribus and Trost conspired to steal the programming and manufacturing information for Tribus’s wrenches----which DMW claims to be its confidential information and trade secrets----to terminate their relationships with DMW and enter into business together to manufacture the wrenches without DMW.
The Trost Lawsuit has seen considerable activity to date as well. In addition to substantial motion practice, DMW has filed a motion for temporary restraining order and preliminary injuction, seeking to prevent Trost from doing any business with Tribus. A hearing on that motion began on May 13th, 2019, and is scheduled to be concluded on June 26th, 2019.
Here too, I believe there is a good chance that DMW will not be successful on its claims against Trost, nor on its motion for preliminary injunction. I am confident that, ultimately, it will be determined that the manufacturing and programming information that form the core of DMW’s claims against both Tribus and Trost is not in fact confidential information or trade secrets belonging to DMW.
C. Threatened Litigation
DMW has threatened to initiate arbitration proceedings for all claims and counterclaims involved in the Tribus Lawsuit. The basis for this is an arbitration provision in the contract between the parties. As mentioned previously, DMW has in fact filed a motion with the court in the Tribus Lawsuit to compel arbitration, with Tribus has opposed. That motion is awaiting a decision by the court.
