For purposes of this report, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, all references herein to APT Systems, APT, the Company, we, us, and our, refer to APT Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation.
Forward-Looking Statements
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements regarding us, our business, prospects and results of operations that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties posed by many factors and events that could cause our actual business, prospects and results of operations to differ materially from those that may be anticipated by such forward-looking statements. Factors that may affect such forward-looking statements include, without limitation: our ability to successfully develop new products and services for new markets; the impact of competition on our revenues, changes in law or regulatory requirements that adversely affect or preclude clients from using us for certain applications; delays our introduction of new products or services; and our failure to keep pace with our competitors.
When used in this discussion, words such as "believes", "anticipates", "expects", "intends" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to revise any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances that may subsequently arise. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business.
PART I
Item 1. Business.
Business Strategy and Products
We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 29, 2010. We are a development stage technology solution provider specializing in the creation of innovative equities trading platform, stock research tools and visualization solutions for the financial markets and have generated minimal revenues to date. Our limited start-up operations have consisted of the formation of the Company, development of our business plan, identification of our target market and the research and development of our product. We have not been subject to any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding.
Our operations are currently being conducted out of office space at 3400 Manulife Place, 10180-101 Street, Edmonton, AB T5J 3S4. We pay $99 per month for the space. We consider our current principal office space arrangement adequate and will reassess our needs based upon the future growth of the Company. Our fiscal year end is January 31 st .
We are a company that specializes in the creation of innovative equities trading platforms. We are focusing on the mobile device market where we intend to develop and publish custom technical analysis indicators and trading systems both in-house and for third parties. In addition, we intend to develop a user friendly charting tool that displays price action and historic pricing for publicly traded companies. This charting tool and the charts that it produces can be configured to the users preferred view such as a line chart or candlestick chart, and the user shall be able to adjust the chart intervals as the user desires. We plan to utilize real time and delayed data networks along with graphic techniques which will provide solutions that can speak to the mobile needs to be demanded by the next generation of traders.
In order to advance during our development stage, we may roll out traditional trading tools and publish charts for the hand held market to test plans and generate cash flow. However, these tools would be refreshed with sophisticated graphics and networking technology to become desirable real-time and interactive trading assistance software.
APT services can extend to include:
·
Mobile Trading App Development
·
Sophisticated Robust Security Solutions
·
Data-driven Applications Technology
·
Financial Software Development
·
Analytical Software Development
·
Algorithmic Applied Technology
·
Trading Platform Refinement and Development
4
The steps remaining for us to begin selling our products listed above are to finalize the programming of the software used in our products, specifically our dimensional charting tools, begin sales and marketing campaigns, contact prospective licensees, and deliver our products, which we expect to complete in less than 180 days after our initial contact with prospective licensees. Our app will be available to users on a subscription fee plan and we plan to grant licenses in our app to financial companies and brokerage firms for use by their employees and clients. The goal is to have our product used by both handheld (tablet and Smartphone application users) and web based clients.
Consequently, with its currently limited financial resources, the Company has only been able to make very limited progress in developing its business activities since inception.
Needs Assessment
Management believes the principal growth area in the personal computer market today is that of smartphones and portable tablet devices. These mobile devices usually allow full time internet connectivity which makes them an ideal stage for a mobile equity-trading platform. Instead of merely porting existing software to allow on-the-go research and trading, we envision for our future products an information-dense and interactive display of the financial markets. At this time, we believe that the future interactive display will include three dimensional imaging that we intend to use to provide financial information in new ways that can better assist novice users learning about publicly traded companies and those users who are trading equities in the public markets.
Distribution methods of the products or services
To facilitate marketing plans, we anticipate making our products and platforms initially available in the App Store managed by Apple Inc. Apple receives approximately thirty percent (30%) of each sale made in the App Store. We created our account on the App Store and sold e-books to users to establish our account. These sales are reflected in our nominal revenue. We do not expect to continue to sell e-books unless required by the App Store to maintain our account. Later, we expect that these same products will be available to audiences that prefer using other smartphones such as Googles Android or RIMs BlackBerry. We may, in our sole discretion, can obtain marketing infrastructure from Apple at an additional cost to help reach our target users in the App Store. These options will be fully explored and implemented as it makes sense to do so.
To further facilitate viral marketing plans, we expect that our products may be available for download at a small fee or in some cases free. As a result, our apps users may only pay a subscription fee for using the app. In connection with our subscription fee, we are investigating a tiered subscription revenue model and revenue for providing licenses to others.
We will identify and address the target market for our services with apps, and demonstrate how we can help users optimize mobile devices for trading of equities in the North American markets.
Organization
We are comprised of one corporation and do not have any subsidiaries. All of our operations are conducted through this corporation.
Competition
The market for financial services software and services is competitive, rapidly evolving and highly sensitive to new product introductions and marketing efforts by industry participants, although high conversion costs can create barriers to adoption of new products or technologies. The market is fragmented and served by both large-scale firms with broad offerings as well as firms that target only local markets or specific types of clients. We also face competition from information systems developed and serviced internally by the IT departments of large financial services firms. We believe that we can compete effectively by providing software contained in a mobile application, which provides buy/sell suggestions, and trading ability, although some of our existing competitors and potential competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, distribution and marketing resources than we have and may offer products with different functions or features that are more attractive to potential customers than our offerings.
Moreover, it is not our intent to compete with larger financial services firms, but rather to facilitate more trades by better informing our clients and providing them with better trading tools. The trading tools such as dimensional charts may be licensed to these same banks and brokers or subscribed to by users, directly. We believe that we can work with the banks and brokerage firms who offer online and smartphone trading access by providing them with a more effective analysis tool for their current and future clients.
5
Intellectual Property Information
Our success and ability to compete will be dependent to a significant degree on our intellectual property, which may include our trade name, trading models, visual charts, and. We intend to develop our technology internally and we will rely primarily on trade secret, trademark, copyright, domain name, patent and contract law to protect our intellectual property. It is our intention to enter into confidentiality, intellectual property invention assignment and/or non-competition and non-solicitation agreements or restrictions with our employees, independent contractors and business partners, and to control access to and distribution of our intellectual property. Currently, we do not have any registered copyrights or patents; however, we may obtain such registrations in the future.
Government Regulation
We do not expect to be subject to material governmental regulation. However, it is our policy to fully comply with all governmental regulation and regulatory authorities.
Research and Development
We have spent $2,928 and $9,731 in the fiscal years ended January 31, 2014 and January 31, 2013, respectively, on research and development of our website and mobile applications. We plan to spend further funds on research and development activities in the future as the development of our software applications continue.
Environmental Compliance
We believe that we are not subject to any material costs for compliance with any environmental laws.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this section.
Item 2. Properties.
Our operations are currently being conducted out of office space at 3400 Manulife Place, 10180-101 Street, Edmonton, AB T5J 3S4. We pay $99 per month for the space arranged through our President. We consider our current principal office space arrangement adequate and will reassess our needs based upon the future growth of the Company
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
We are not a party to any material legal proceedings, nor is our property the subject of any material legal proceeding.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not applicable.
PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrants Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
Holders
As of May 20, 2014, there were 43 record holders of our common stock, and there were 8,830,000 shares of our common stock outstanding.
Market Information
The Companys common stock has been approved for non-priced quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol APTY but is not listed on any national stock exchange.

The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990
The Securities and Exchange Commission has also adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).
A purchaser is purchasing penny stock which limits the ability to sell the stock. The shares offered by this prospectus constitute penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stocks for the foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his/her investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in us will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which:
·
contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
·
contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended;
·
contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask" prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
·
contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
·
defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and
·
contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format) as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation;
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, to the customer:
·
the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
·
the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;
·
the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and
·
monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling their securities.

Equity Compensation Plan Information
2012 Equity Incentive Plan
As of January 31, 2012, the Company adopted the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan) of APT Systems, Inc. as approved by the Companys board of directors and stockholders. The purpose of the Plan is to enable the Company to offer its employees, officers, directors, consultants and others whose past, present and/or potential contributions to the Company have been, are or will be important to the success of the Company, an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company. Stock options granted under the Plan may be of two types: (i) Incentive Stock Options and (ii) Non-Qualified Stock Options. A total of 5,500,000 shares of common stock are eligible for issuance under the Plan, which may consist of authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares. The maximum amount of shares of stock that may be granted as Incentive Stock Options shall be 2,500,000. Currently, no equity compensation has been granted under the Plan to date.
Dividend Policy
We have not previously declared or paid any dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock is within the discretion of our board of directors. We intend to retain any earnings for use in our operations and the expansion of our business. Payment of dividends in the future will depend on our future earnings, future capital needs and our operating and financial condition, among other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. We are not under any contractual restriction as to our present or future ability to pay dividends.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
Common Stock
In January 2014, the Company issued 10,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, to one non-U.S. investor for $2,000 cash or $0.20 per share. These shares were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Regulation S of the Securities Act in that they were issued to a non U.S. person.
Convertible Note
On January 8, 2014 the Company issued a convertible note to one accredited investor (as that term is defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) in the aggregate amount of $50,000. This convertible note accrues interest at the rate of 19% per annum and is convertible only upon the Company issuing its equity securities in exchange for gross proceeds of $1,200,000, at a conversion price equal to 80% of the per share price paid by the purchasers in such transactions. The note was originally due and payable on May 7, 2014; however, the Company secured an extension of the convertible note payable to June 8, 2014. However, the conversion feature of the convertible note payable expired effective May 7, 2014 and was not extended.
This note was issued pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in that they were issued to an accredited investor, the Company did not engage in any general solicitation, the purchaser was the sole offeree and had full access to all information concerning the Company that was requested. No cash commissions were paid in connection with the issuance of the securities.
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers
From February 1, 2013 through and including January 31, 2014, there were no purchases of equity securities by the Company and affiliated purchasers.
Item 6. Selected Financial Data.
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information in this Item.

Results of Operations
From our inception on October 29, 2010 through January 31, 2014, we have generated $50 of revenue. As a result we have very little operating history upon which to evaluate our intended business. In addition, we have a history of losses. We generated revenues of $39 for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014, as compared to $11 for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013, an increase of $28. This increase was primarily attributable to more e-book sales.
As of our fiscal years ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, our accountants have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our history of net losses. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon our ability to successfully develop and market our software and our ability to generate revenues.
Operating expenses, which consisted of accounting, consulting, legal, research and development and general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014, were $75,708, which is an increase of $12,974, or 20.7% as compared to the operating expenses for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013 of $62,745. The increase in our operating expenses was primarily attributable to the payment of compensation to our officers.
As a result of the foregoing, we had a net loss of $77,399 for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014, which was an increase of $13,691, or 21.5% as compared to the net loss for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013 of $63,708.
Our activities have been completely directed at developing our business plan for eventually generating significant revenue. We operated at a loss in all relevant periods.
9
To try to operate at a break-even level based upon our current level of proposed business activity, we believe that we must generate approximately $200,000 in revenue per year; however, we have only generated nominal revenue to date and cannot make any assurance that we will be successful in generating revenue in the future. Each dollar of revenue is not directly tied to increasing costs. We believe that we can become profitable without incurring additional costs under our current operating cost structure. However, if our forecasts are inaccurate, we will need to raise additional funds. In the event that we need additional capital, our directors have orally agreed to loan such funds as may be necessary through January 31, 2015 for working capital purposes, although they have no obligation to do so.
On the other hand, if we decide that we cannot operate at a profit in our current configuration, we may choose to scale back our operations to operate at break-even with a smaller level of business activity, while adjusting our overhead to meet the revenue from current operations. In such event, we will probably not be profitable. In addition, we expect that we will need to raise additional funds if we decide to pursue more rapid expansion, the development of new or enhanced services or products, appropriate responses to competitive pressures, or the acquisition of complementary businesses or technologies, or if we must respond to unanticipated events that require us to make additional investments. We cannot assure that additional financing will be available when needed on favorable terms, or at all.
We expect to incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses and not generating sufficient revenues. We expect approximately $180,000 in operating costs over the next twelve months. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues or other funds in the future to cover these operating costs. Failure to generate sufficient revenues or additional financing when needed could cause us to go out of business.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of January 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $18,830. As of January 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2,428.
Net cash used for operating activities was $57,301 for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014, which increased from $32,975 for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013.
Cash flows used for investing activities were $0 for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014 as compared to net cash used for investing activities of $13,685 for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013. The decrease was related to the lack of investment opportunities during the year ended January 31, 2014.
Cash flows provided by financing activities were $73,703 for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014, which compares to cash flows provided by financing activities of $10,020 for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013. These cash flows were all related to sales of stock, issuance of a short term note payable and loans from shareholders.
Over the next twelve months we do not expect any material capital costs to develop operations. Our operating costs of $180,000 will be used for operations, but none will be used to pay salaries.
We expect our principal source of liquidity will be from our operations; however, to date, we have realized only nominal revenue. As a result, we expect that we may need to engage in the private placement of our debt and equity securities in order to continue to fund operations. We expect variation in revenues to account for the difference between a profit and a loss. Also business activity is closely tied to the stock market and trading industry as a whole. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon our ability to successfully develop our products and our ability to generate revenues.
In any case, we try to operate with minimal overhead. Our primary activity will be to seek to develop clients for our services and, consequently, our sales. If we succeed in developing clients for our services and generating sufficient sales, we will become profitable. We cannot guarantee that this will ever occur. Our plan is to build our company in any manner which will be successful.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements with any party.
10
Plan of Operation
The following milestones are estimates only. The working capital requirements and the projected milestones are approximations only and subject to adjustment based on sales, costs and needs.
Begin Marketing and Sales efforts:
Our marketing efforts will primarily be related to assuring our product is easily found in app stores and create a smooth downloading experience. We believe that there will be sufficient funds available for additional methods of marketing if a suitable opportunity presents itself.
Once the app is live and we have has begun initial Search Engine Optimization (SEO) work and internet marketing, we believe sales will be supported through the app stores and our website. The website will be set up to record all visitors automatically and billing will be handled by Apples extensive billing backend. This system will allow us to minimize staff, maintain efficient delivery of products, and keep records for both accounting and marketing.
Successful implementation of our business strategy depends on factors specific to the internet, regulations regarding equities trading, app development licenses and the hand held device industry and numerous other factors that may be beyond our control. Adverse changes in the following factors could undermine our business strategy and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations and cash flow:
·
the competitive environment in the app sector that may force us to reduce prices below the optimal desired pricing level or increase promotional spending;
·
the ability to anticipate changes in consumer preferences and to meet customers needs for trading products in a timely cost effective manner; and
·
the ability to establish, maintain and eventually grow market share in a competitive environment.
For delivery of our information globally, geopolitical changes, changes in trading regulations, currency fluctuations, natural disasters, pandemics and other factors beyond our control may increase the cost of items we purchase, create communication issues or render product delivery difficult which could have a material adverse effect on our sales and profitability.
Concurrent Developments (0-12 months)
Future Trends use E-Books as a method for Training:
Future product considerations revolve around enhanced or animated e-books. We believe consumers enjoy e-books because of their convenience and accessibility but they are similar in format to the traditional book. As animation is added to traditional images such as charts, this same technology can be applied to e-books to animate the content to better engage the reader. It is hoped the learning experience will be enriched and the lessons learned more thoroughly. It is believed customers will soon demand interactive books that provide a much better, more informed educational experience and replace standard training techniques. New E-books with a view to training support will be made available after the sale of apps has commenced.
Critical Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires that management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Transactions
Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded in the statements of operations as a component of other income (expense).
11
Development Stage Company
The Company complies with Financial Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 915 and Securities and Exchange Commission Act Guide 7 for its characterization of the Company as development stage enterprise.
Software
The Company has software that it uses for the development of certain mobile phone applications. The software and any upgrades are being amortized over useful lives ranging from 3-5 years.
Website
The Company accounts for website development costs in accordance with FASB ASC 350-50, Website Development Costs. Cost incurred to register domain names, integrate databases and add additional functionality or features to the website are capitalized and amortized over 1-3 years. Costs incurred in general maintenance of the website or hosting costs, are expensed as incurred.
Financial Instrument
The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with the requirements of FASB ASC 825 Financial Instruments. The carrying values of accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate fair value are due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
Research and Development Costs
Costs incurred in research and development activities are expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740 Income Taxes. Under FASB ASC 740, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts at each period end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax expense for the period, if any, and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. FASB ASC 740 also provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. Under FASB ASC 740, the impact of an uncertain tax position on the income tax return may only be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. At January 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has no unrecognized tax benefits.
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share" which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options, using the treasury stock method, and convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014, the Company did have a potentially dilutive debt instrument outstanding that has been excluded from the earnings per share calculation; as such an inclusion would have been anti-dilutive due to losses incurred in the period. No potentially dilutive debt or equity instruments were issued and outstanding during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the 2014 presentation..

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
APT Systems, Inc.
Edmonton, AB, Canada
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of APT Systems, Inc. (a development stage company) as of January 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended and the period from October 29, 2010 (inception) to January 31, 2014. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the 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 Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of APT Systems, Inc. as of January 31, 2013 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and the period from October 29, 2010 (inception) to January 31, 2014 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 3 to the financial statements the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the fiscal years ended January 31, 2014 and 2013
and for the period from October 29, 2010 (Inception) through January 31, 2014
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
APT Systems, Inc . (APT Systems, the Company, "We" or "Us") was incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 29, 2010 (Inception) to engage in the creation of innovative stock trading platforms, financial apps and visualization solutions for charting the financial markets. The Company is in the development stage with its Apple developers account and has been concentrating on researching and improving its intellectual property for trading and to facilitate rolling out new trading software. Management will continually test its trading software products and any profits generated from funds used in live trading tests will be to the benefit of the Company.
Going Concern Consideration
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred losses since inception and anticipates future losses in the development of its business raising substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and, or, obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, loans from directors and, or, the of shares of common stock. There is no assurance that these events will be satisfactorily completed.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars. The Companys year-end is January 31.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires that management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Transactions
Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded in the statements of operations as a component of other income (expense).
Development Stage Company
The Company is a development stage company in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 915 " Development Stage Entities ". Among the disclosures required as a development stage company are that our financial statements are identified as those of a development stage company, and that the statements of operations, changes in stockholders' deficit and cash flows disclose activity since the date of our Inception (October 29, 2010) as a development stage company.

The deposits are refundable for non-performance. As of the date of this report, neither the bridge loan nor the private placement had been secured.
Impairment of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets
In the event that facts and circumstances indicated that the cost of long-lived and intangible assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability will be performed. If an evaluation is required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset were compared to the asset's carrying amount to determine if a write-down to market value or discounted cash flow value is required.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the fiscal years ended January 31, 2014 and 2013
and for the period from October 29, 2010 (Inception) through January 31, 2014
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740 Income Taxes . Under FASB ASC 740, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts at each period end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax expense for the period, if any, and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. FASB ASC 740 also provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions. Under FASB ASC 740, the impact of an uncertain tax position on the income tax return may only be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. At January 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has no unrecognized tax benefits.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for employee and non-employee stock awards under ASC 718, whereby equity instruments issued to employees for services are recorded based on the fair value of the instrument issued and those issued to non-employees are recorded based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument, whichever is more reliably measurable. The Company has adopted a stock option plan, as disclosed in Note 7 Stockholders Deficit below. As of the fiscal years ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, no stock options had been issued or were outstanding.
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, " Earnings per Share " which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options, using the treasury stock method, and convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014 the Company did have a potentially dilutive debt instrument outstanding that has been excluded from the earnings per share calculation, as such an inclusion would have been anti-dilutive due to losses incurred in the period. No potentially dilutive debt or equity instruments were issued and outstanding during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the 2014 presentation.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if adopted, will have a material effect on our financial statements.
3. GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY
At January 31, 2014 the Company had cash of $18,830, no profitable business activities, liabilities of $100,006, accumulated losses of $156,574 and a shareholders deficit of $60,074.
In the audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, the Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm includes an explanatory paragraph that describes substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company anticipates future losses in the development of its software raising substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and, or, obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, loans from directors and, or, the sale shares of common stock. There is no assurance that this series of events will be satisfactorily completed.
Financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary if Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The President of the Company provides management and office premises to the Company at a charge of $99 per month.
Effective November 1, 2013, the Company began to accrue a monthly salary of $5,000 per month for the President on an ongoing basis. As of January 31, 2014 accrued officer compensation was $15,000. The accrued compensation will only be paid as and when the directors decide the Company has sufficient liquidity to pay some, or all, of the amounts accrued. The President of the Company can elect at any time to convert some, or all, of her accrued compensation into shares of the Companys common stock at the market price at the date of conversion. Market price will be either the publicly quoted share price, when such a publicly quoted price becomes available, or the last cash price the Company received for the sale of its common shares.
As of January 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company owed the President $1,523 by way of loan. The loan is unsecured, due on demand and interest free.
The Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with Joseph J. Gagnon, the Secretary of the Board of Directors, on February 3, 2012. This agreement was amended jointly by the Board of Directors and Mr. Gagnon. As of June 15, 2012, it was agreed and accepted by all that Mr. Gagnon should discontinue his full-time services for a specified period of time. As of January 31, 2014, Mr. Gagnon is not scheduled to resume his duties unless otherwise agreed to in writing. Mr. Gagnon was paid $1,000 and $10,000 during the years ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. No balance was owed to Mr. Gagnon by the Company as of January 31, 2014.
5. CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE
On January 8, 2014 the Company issued an unsecured convertible note to one accredited investor (as that term is defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) in the aggregate amount of $50,000 This convertible note accrues interest at the rate of 19% per annum and is convertible only when a qualifying financing event takes place. The note is due and payable on May 7, 2014.
The Note, but none of the accrued unpaid interest thereon, may convert into equity securities at the option of the holder if the Company issues equity securities and any other indebtedness in aggregate with gross proceeds of $1,200,000, including conversion of the Note (a Qualified Financing). The conversion price is equal to 80% of the per share price paid by the purchasers of such equity securities in the Qualified Financing. Accrued and unpaid interest will be paid by the Company at time of conversion.
If a Qualified Financing has not occurred and the Company elects to consummate a sale of the company prior to the maturity date of the Note, the Company will give the holder a minimum ten days prior written notice of an anticipated closing date of such sale of the Company in order that the holder may consider a conversion of their Note into equity in advance of a sale transaction.
No value has been assigned to the conversion feature attached to this note payable as the possibility of the Company completing such a Qualifying Financing or completing a sale of the Company before May 7, 2014 was considered to be extremely remote.
At January 31, 2014 and 2013 accrued interest was $625 and $-0-, respectively. Interest expense at January 31, 2014 and 2013 was $625 and $0, respectively

8. INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740. Deferred income taxes reflect the net effect of (a) temporary difference between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes, and (b) net operating loss carry-forwards. No net provision for refundable Federal income tax has been made in the accompanying statement of loss because no recoverable taxes were paid previously. Similarly, no deferred tax asset attributable to the net operating loss carry-forward has been recognized, as it is not deemed likely to be realized.
The provision for federal income tax consists of the following for the periods ending:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the fiscal years ended January 31, 2014 and 2013
and for the period from October 29, 2010 (Inception) through January 31, 2014
In assessing the reliability of the deferred tax assets at January 31, 2014 and 2013 of $53,235 and $26,920, respectively, management considered whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, the projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on managements analysis, the Company concluded not to retain a deferred tax asset since it is uncertain whether the Company can utilize this asset in future periods. Therefore, the Company has established a full reserve against this asset. The valuation allowance was $53,235 and $26,920 as of January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The Companys policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of January 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has no accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. The tax years for 2010 and forward are subject to examination by tax authorities. The Company is not currently under examination by any tax authority.
Management has evaluated tax positions in accordance with FASB ASC 740, and has not identified any tax positions, other than those discussed above, that require disclosure.
9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to January 31, 2014, the Company secured an extension of the convertible note payable from May 7, 2014 to June 8, 2014. However, the conversion feature of the convertible note payable expired effective May 7, 2014 and was not extended.
On February 19, 2014, the Company received notice from FINRA that the trading symbol APTY has been allocated to the Company.
In accordance with ASC 855, Subsequent Events , the Company has evaluated events that occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date through May 29, 2014, the date of available issuance of these audited financial statements. The Company determined that other than as disclosed above, there were no material reportable subsequent events to be disclosed.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was performed under the supervision of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, as of January 31, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms due to material weaknesses in our internal controls described below.
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal control system is intended to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements and that we have controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we will be required to file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely and informed decisions regarding financial disclosure.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2014. Based on this assessment, management believes that as of January 31, 2014, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on those criteria.
Managements assessment identified several material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. These material weaknesses include the following:
·
Lack of appropriate segregation of duties;
·
Limited capability to interpret and apply accounting principles generally accepted in the United States;
·
Lack of formal accounting policies and procedures that include multiple levels of review.
Inherent Limitations Over Internal Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Our control systems are designed to provide such reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
We have made no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm.

Management's report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report on Form 10-K.

Effective November 1, 2013, the Company began to accrue a monthly salary of $5,000 per month for Ms. Dowie on an ongoing basis. As of January 31, 2014, accrued officer compensation was $15,000. The accrued compensation will only be paid as and when the directors decide the Company has sufficient liquidity to pay some, or all, of the amounts accrued. Ms. Dowie can elect at any time to convert some, or all, of her accrued compensation into shares of the Companys common stock at the market price at the date of conversion. Market price will be either the publicly quoted share price, when such a publicly quoted price becomes available, or the last cash price the Company received for the sale of its common shares.
Outstanding Equity Awards at the End of the Fiscal Year
No equity compensation has been paid under the Plan.
Compensation of Directors
Directors are permitted to receive fixed fees and other compensation for their services as directors. The Board of Directors has the authority to fix compensation of directors. No amounts have been paid to, or accrued to, directors in such capacity.

Employment Agreements
Effective November 1, 2013, the Company began to accrue a monthly salary of $5,000 per month for Ms. Glenda Dowie on an ongoing basis. As of January 31, 2014 accrued officer compensation was $15,000. The accrued compensation will only be paid as and when the directors decide the Company has sufficient liquidity to pay some, or all, of the amounts accrued. The President of the Company can elect at any time to convert some, or all, of her accrued compensation into shares of the Companys common stock at the market price at the date of conversion. Market price will be either the publicly quoted share price, when such a publicly quoted price becomes available, or the last cash price the Company received for the sale of its common shares.
As of June 15, 2012, Mr. Gagnon took a leave of absence from his role under the consulting agreement; however, he will continue to serve as an officer and director of the Company during his leave of absence. Mr. Gagnon provides contract services for a fee connected to maintenance on the servers and software on a consultant basis. Mr. Hussey does not receive compensation for his services at this time. Based upon the amount of the proceeds from additional sales of our common stock, other future employees and directors may receive salaries. Once we generate revenue, future salaries will be evaluated at that time. Additional employees may be added in the future to assist in the monitoring and fulfillment of orders.
Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.
The following table sets forth certain information, as of May 20, 2014, with respect to the holdings of (1) each person who is the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock, (2) each of our directors, (3) each executive officer, and (4) all of our current directors and executive officers as a group.
Beneficial ownership of the common stock is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and includes any shares of common stock over which a person exercises sole or shared voting or investment power, or of which a person has a right to acquire ownership at any time within 60 days of May 20, 2014. Except as otherwise indicated, we believe that the persons named in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock held by them. Applicable percentage ownership in the following table is based on 8,830,000 shares of common stock outstanding as of May 20, 2014 plus, for each individual, any securities that individual has the right to acquire within 60 days of May 20, 2014.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Indepedence.
Transactions with Related Persons
Except as set forth below, since February 1, 2013, there has not been, nor is there currently proposed, any transaction or series of similar transactions to which the Company was or will be a party in which the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of the Companys total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years; and in which any director, executive officer, other stockholders of more than 5% of the Companys Common Stock or any member of their immediate family had or will have a direct or indirect material interest:
The President of the Company provides management and office premises to the Company at a charge of $99 per month.
Effective November 1, 2013, the Company began to accrue a monthly salary of $5,000 per month for the President on an ongoing basis. As of January 31, 2014 accrued officer compensation was $15,000. The accrued compensation will only be paid as and when the directors decide the Company has sufficient liquidity to pay some, or all, of the amounts accrued. The President of the Company can elect at any time to convert some, or all, of her accrued compensation into shares of the Companys common stock at the market price at the date of conversion. Market price will be either the publicly quoted share price, when such a publicly quoted price becomes available, or the last cash price the Company received for the sale of its common shares.
As of January 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company owed the President $1,523 by way of loan. The loan is unsecured, due on demand and interest free.
The Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with Joseph J. Gagnon, the Secretary of the Board of Directors, on February 3, 2012. This agreement was amended jointly by the Board of Directors and Mr. Gagnon. As of June 15, 2012, it was agreed and accepted by all that Mr. Gagnon should discontinue his full-time services for a specified period of time. As of January 31, 2014, Mr. Gagnon is not scheduled to resume his duties unless otherwise agreed to in writing. Mr. Gagnon was paid a $1,000 and $10,000 during the years ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. No balance was owed to Mr. Gagnon by the Company as of January 31, 2014.
Director Independence
We do not have any independent directors. Because our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we have used the definition of independence of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an independent director is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Companys Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:
·
the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company;
·
the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);
·
a family member of the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer of the company;
·
the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipients consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exclusions);
·
the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or
·
the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the companys outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the companys outside auditor, and who worked on the companys audit.
19
Ms. Dowie and Messrs. Gagnon and Hussey are not considered independent because they are executive officers of the Company.
We do not currently have a separately designated audit, nominating or compensation committee.
Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
Audit Fees
For the Companys fiscal year ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, we were billed approximately $9,500 and $5,000, respectively for professional services rendered for the audit and reviews of our financial statements.
Audit Related Fees
For the Companys fiscal year ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, we were not billed for professional services related to our audits, other than the fees discussed in Audit Fees above.
Tax Fees
For the Companys fiscal years ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, we were not billed for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning by our auditors.
All Other Fees
The Company did not incur any other fees related to services rendered by our principal accountant for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2014 and 2013.
Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before our auditor is engaged by us to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be:
·
approved by our audit committee; or
·
entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the audit committee, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the audit committee is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the audit committees responsibilities to management.
We do not have an audit committee. Our entire board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. The pre-approval process has just been implemented in response to the new rules. Therefore, our board of directors does not have records of what percentage of the above fees were pre-approved. However, all of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the entire board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.

EXHIBIT 4.2
On January 8, 2014 the Company issued a convertible note, under an oral arrangement, to Donald K Meador PC in the aggregate amount of $50,000. This convertible note accrues interest at the rate of 19% per annum and is convertible only upon the Company issuing its equity securities in exchange for gross proceeds of $1,200,000, at a conversion price equal to 80% of the per share price paid by the purchasers in such transactions. The note was originally due and payable on May 7, 2014; however, the Company secured an extension of the convertible note payable to June 8, 2014. However, the conversion feature of the convertible note payable expired effective May 7, 2014 and was not extended.
