Item 1. Description of Business

 

General

 

Allied (or “Allied” or “the Company”) is a public Nevada corporation focused on bringing to market medical cannabis in Canada initially, via our wholly-owned subsidiary AM (Advanced Micro) Biosciences, Inc. that has end stage national license applications.

 

References in this section to “Allied” or the “Company” also include references to the operations of our subsidiary AM (Advanced Micro) Biosciences, Inc. which occurred prior to closing of the reorganization agreement.

 

Allied has plans for international expansion into South America via acquisitions of national license holders. As a research and development company, Allied’s focus is on creating and providing targeted cannabinoid health solutions for today’s medical issues. One of our top R&D priorities is developing effective Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)/Post Traumatic Stress Injury (PTSI) solutions.

 

Led by a team of experienced Industry experts, Allied will use that valuable data to properly select and secure the appropriate products and business activities to ensure the company’s success.

 

The Company’s vertically integrated approach focuses on sufferers of PTSD. This market includes:

 

 

· Canadian Veterans, with initially an approximate 6,000 veterans available for first contact and onboarding, and a veteran base of approximately 650,000 in Canada from the War Service and Canadian Armed Forces

 

 

 

 

· An additional 2,000,000+ Canadian veterans who also suffer in certain numbers from PTSD, including estimates of:

 

 

 

 

· 740,000 RCMP/Police Officers

 

 

 

 

· 925,000 Correctional Services Canada/Canadian Border Services Agency/Canadian Peace Officers

 

 

 

 

· 280,000 Firefighters (not including volunteers)

 

 

 

 

· 75,000 Paramedics

 

 

 

 

· Potential South American market

 

 

 

 

· Potential United States market: approximately 15 million veterans.

 

The Company’s additional focus is on neutraceutical products for veterans and general public through bringing hemp derived nano-technology products to market in the United States. Differentiators from our competitors potentially include the low cost, high margin production that Allied has available via Colombian Production.

 

Recent Developments

 

During the period May 7, 2019 through June 15, 2019, a total of $1,325,000 in proceeds was raised in a private placement to 11 accredited investors at a price of $0.50 per share. In connection with the offering, the Company issued 2,650,000 shares of common stock.

Table of Contents

 

During July 2019, a total of $3,000,000 in proceeds was raised in a private placement to one accredited investor at a price of $0.75 per share. In connection with the offering, the Company issued 4,000,000 shares of common stock.

 

Since receiving the funds from the private placements, the Company’s management team has utilized these funds to expedite several key corporate milestones.

 

On July 25, 2019, as amended effective August 27, 2019, the Company entered into a Reorganization and Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Reorganization Agreement”) to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding equity of AM (Advanced Micro) Biosciences, Inc (“AM Biosciences”). Effective September 10, 2019, the parties closed the Reorganization Agreement. As part of the transaction, the majority shareholder of the Company (the “Allied Shareholder”) delivered 55,700,714 of common stock, representing approximately 73.2% of the outstanding equity of the Company to SECFAC Exchange Corp. on behalf of the prior shareholders of AM Biosciences and certain other designees of AM Biosciences. Further, as part of the transaction, the Allied Shareholder submitted for cancellation and return to treasury 10,459,317 shares of common stock. As a consequence, immediately subsequent to the close of the Reorganization Agreement, the Company had 76,046,680 shares of common stock outstanding.

 

Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, effective on September 10, 2019, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity of AM Biosciences. As consideration for the equity of AM Biosciences, the Allied Shareholder issued and delivered 55,700,014 shares of common stock, representing approximately 73.2% of the outstanding equity of the Company to SECFAC Exchange Corp. on behalf of the previous shareholders of AM Biosciences and other designees of AM Biosciences. 

 

MediColombias Acquisition (Colombia Licensed Producer)

 

In May 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a company called Medi Colombias SAS. This company is based in Colombia with a full set of licenses and a lease agreement in place to begin production on a 5 hectare parcel of land. We have the ability to scale production to over hundreds of hectares. This is located in the area of Bucamaranga, Colombia.

 

This acquisition includes a high level scientific team of experts and significant capital expenditures spent on an irrigation holding pond, security towers, fencing, etc. to meet the Colombia minister of justice and minister of agriculture requirements.

 

The total acquisition price is $5,200,000. That price is payable (a) $185,000 USD within 5 days of signing the acquisition (this has been completed from the private placement funds); (b) $200,000 USD within 30 days of signing the acquisition (this has also been completed from private placement funds); (c) $315,000 USD within three months of signing the acquisition and (d) 4,500,000 shares of common stock valued at $1.00 USD per share.

 

An additional $700,000 USD will be paid to MediColombias in the form of Advanced Micro or Allied shares at a 30 day moving average market share price, once the terms noted in the following table are achieved. All of these performance-based production volumes are based upon product produced from MediColombias.

 

Colombian National Ministry of Agriculture approval for seed evaluation

 

In May 2019, we received notice from the National Ministry of Agriculture (ICA) that our seeds are successfully registered and we can begin what they call the “seed evaluation” process of production. This involves planting 60 plants of each strain. We have plants going into the ground during the third and/or fourth quarters of 2019.

 

After the harvesting of these plants, ICA will conduct an on-site inspection and may authorize the large scale initiation of production. The approval for “seed evaluation” came 6 months ahead of our anticipated timeline. We are consequently on pace for first harvest during first two quarters of 2020. We had originally anticipated this within third and fourth quarters of 2020.

 

In addition to this, to adhere to strict production regulations around seed approval and strain-acclimatization, in Canada we have created research and development environments (under personal production licenses approved by the Canada Regulators) that mimic the micro-climates in Suesca, Ibague and Bucamaranaga. Our strains have performed very well in all three of these micro-climates. We have stressed the strains with very high temperatures and humidity levels to mimic the natural weather patterns in the areas in which we will be cultivating. This is designed to mitigate the acclimatization risk that many peer companies are experiencing in Colombia.

 

Falcon Ridge Acquisition (Canadian end-stage Licensed Producer applicant).

 

In May 2019, the Company closed a share purchase agreement and made the first installment payments for the acquisition of late stage Canadian Licensed Producer applicant: Falcon Ridge (the “Falcon Ridge Acquisition”).

The purchase is for a total of $2,150,000. Consideration for this purchase was as follows: (a) $250,000 CDN paid May 31, 2019 (this has been paid out of the proceeds of the $0.50 cent private placement); (b) $250,000 CDN due on or before July 01, 2019 (this has also been paid out of the proceeds of the $0.50 cent private placement); (c) $700,000 CDN due within five days of receiving full license (which we anticipate in the first quarter of 2020); and (d) 950,000 shares in AM Biosciences with as assigned valued at $1.00 CDN per share.

 

We were given the approval from Health Canada as “Confirmation of Readiness” for this application.

 

Assumption of contract of purchase and sale of 8999 Jim Bailey Rd.

 

In May 2019, AM Biosciences assumed the contract of purchase and sale of real property located at 8999 Jim Bailey Rd. This is for the purchase of two real lots of approximately 1.1 acres each. This contract of purchase and sale is set to close in the first quarter of 2020. This land will be where the Canadian Licensed Producer and product processing and extraction facility will be located. Land preparation is well underway and is expected to be ready for when the modular building arrives in the first quarter of 2020.

 

Natural Health Products Acquisition

 

In May 2019, as a part of the Falcon Ridge Acquisition, the management team of AM Biosciences were able to negotiate the inclusion of a natural health products catalogue of products. This includes 50 products in the natural health vertical market. Three of these products are of particular interest as they have Natural Health Products registration numbers with Health Canada. AM Biosciences can add these to the product offerings both in Canada and the United States.

 

Allied Foundation Healing Retreats

 

In May 2019, AM Biosciences hosted the first inaugural healing retreat for veterans and first responders. A total of 29 people attended this retreat. This involved offering the participants healing activities such as education of the nature of PTSD, how to process through an event that is triggering to the individual, and activities to reset the nervous system. A full evaluation was done and planning has been initiated to host ongoing quarterly retreats into 2020.

 

Natural health vertical run of first product: “Tactical Relief ™ “

 

In June 2019, AM Biosciences was able to source, negotiate and execute and agreement to do the first packaging run of the “Tactical Relief” product that is targeted at veterans in the United States. This product is not based on THC, but rather a Hemp-derived CBD product that is targeted at the veteran community. We anticipate selling through a small 500 product launch in the fourth quarter of 2019. We have been able to secure distribution in Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee and Illinois. The management and sales of this product is handled through a licensing deal with a company called Savage Consulting, LLC. Due to the national legislation in the United Sates, Allied has licensed the management of the hemp derived CBD product, Tactical Relief™ to Savage Consulting, LLC.

 

Xtreme Cubes construction has begun

 

In June 2019, AM Biosciences signed the production and manufacturing contract to begin the manufacturing of the full building for the Canada extraction and production facility. This building will be a fully scalable, modular building. This building is expected to come off of the production line in Nevada sometime in the third quarter of 2019. We anticipate being able to extract and produce additional strain development in this building beginning fourth quarter 2019. The Company made an upfront payment of $230,000 USD in June 2019 and an additional payment of $903,385 in August 2019.

Development Timeline

 

Through its operating subsidiary, the principals of Allied (the “Principals”) commenced development of the Company and its products in 2002 through development of regulatory knowledge, development and collection of over 200 proprietary strains of cannabis targeted at specific diseases and in 2005 obtained production experienced under approved personal production Canadian legislation. Beginning in 2012, the Company’s principals were involved in over 48 Health Canada applications for licensing and were working with Health Canada to inform national cannabis policy. The Company began seeking strategic partners to help veterans, police, fire and ambulance specifically with PTSD issues. During 2014 through 2017, The Company worked with several licensed producers in Canada and development strategic connections, supply and distribution companies into Europe. The Principals also continued to develop novel strains of cannabis for PTSD.

 

In 2018 the Company acquired its development site for cannabis production and completed an approximate $800,000 round of initial seed funding via AM Advanced Biosciences. The Company set up strategic partnerships in South America for production and in the United States for sales and distribution of hemp derived CBD products. In 2019, the Company is working towards expansion into Colombia and has signed a letter of intent to acquire land in Colombia as well as additional facilities in Canada. The Company will begin distribution of hemp derived CBD products for veterans and first responders into the United States.

 

The Allied Charitable Foundation

 

Affiliated with the Company is the Allied Charitable Foundation. The Allied Charitable Foundation has been created in accordance with Allied’s overall mission to help promote healing for as many Veterans and first responders as possible. It is Allied’s vision to create a legacy that will perpetuate the opportunities for those suffering from Post Traumatic Stress to embark on their own healing journey. Allied has a dedicated team working with the Allied Foundation to ensure a broad range of holistic healing modalities are introduced to those in suffering. Through the Foundation, assistance may also be provided to those who truly need help but may not have all the means to achieve it. The powerful legacy created by the Allied Charitable Foundation will ensure that those suffering from Post Traumatic Stress will receive assistance for years and years to come.

Legal Status of Cannabis in Canada in 2019

 

Marijuana was banned in Canada back in 1923, and it took almost 80 years before it became legal to use it for medicinal purposes. Canada finally legalized medicinal cannabis in 2001. Public opinion helped shape the next stage of marijuana law in Canada. In late November 2017, the Cannabis Act, Bill C-45, was passed by the House of Commons. In March 2018, it passed second reading in the Senate and on June 18, 2018, the House passed the bill.

 

It was passed with almost all of the Senate’s amendments, and the Senate accepted the new version of the bill on June 19, 2018. On October 17, 2018 marijuana in Canada became federally legal around the country.

 

For medical cannabis use, which is Allied’s target market, those with a prescription are authorized to have up to a five day amount of their prescription. Some patients have 10 grams per day prescriptions. Some patients have 150 grams per days prescriptions.

According to the law, adults are legally permitted to purchase, use, possess, and grow recreational cannabis in Canada. We do not intend to target recreational use. The legal age and cultivation laws vary depending on the province. The minimum legal age is 19 all over Canada except in Alberta and Quebec where it is 18.

 

The maximum amount one is allowed to possess from a recreational source which we do not intend to target, is 30 grams in all Canadian provinces, but in most locations, one is allowed to have larger amounts at home. In British Columbia for example, a person may possess up to 1,000 grams of marijuana at home. There is no limit to home possession in Manitoba.

 

Legality of CBD based products in the United States.

 

In general CBD is legal in the United States, but under very specific conditions.

 

While the legal status of CBD has become more defined with recent reforms, some laws are still unclear and others may still be needed. Combined with misinformation, many may have a very skewed understanding of what’s legal versus what is not.

 

The legality of CBD can vary from state to state and federally, but in general, one of the determining factors is whether the CBD is derived from hemp or marijuana. The Company intends to source its CBD cigarettes from hemp. While the two plants are very close relatives, they are classified very differently under the law and understanding the difference is crucial to legally use CBD. Hemp and marijuana are both classifications of plants in the Cannabis genus, and both can produce an abundance of CBD. As members of the same family, hemp and marijuana share many visual similarities, but at a chemical level, the two plants have vastly different amounts of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the intoxicating compound found in Cannabis.

 

While hemp is characterized by producing a nearly non-existent amount of THC (less than 0.3%), marijuana can produce an abundance of THC (up to 30%). Because of its high THC-content, marijuana may induce severe mind-altering effects when consumed and is federally illegal in the United States and many other countries.

 

Hemp-derived CBD is legal as long as it is produced within the regulations defined by the law.

 

In 2018, President Trump passed the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 (also known as the 2018 Farm Bill), which removed hemp as a Schedule I substance and reclassified it as an “agricultural commodity.” A common misconception about the 2018 Farm Bill is that it legalized CBD regardless of if it was derived from hemp or marijuana. This is not true. Based on the guidance of the DEA, CBD is a Schedule I substance and is illegal. If, however, the CBD is derived from hemp and adheres to the following regulations set forth in the new farm bill, it is removed as a Schedule I substance and is legal:

 

The hemp must contain less than 0.3% THC

 

The hemp must adhere to the shared state-federal regulations

 

The hemp must be grown by a properly licensed grower

 

In addition, the 2018 Farm Bill also removed restrictions on the sale, transportation, and possession of hemp-derived CBD products and allowed for the transportation of hemp-derived CBD products across state lines as long as the products follow regulations defined above.

Table of Contents

 

While hemp-derived CBD is federally legal as long as it adheres to the law, marijuana-derived CBD is more complicated because it is derived from a plant that is illegal. In some states, such as California and Colorado, marijuana is legal for recreational usage, and naturally so is marijuana-derived CBD. Others allow marijuana-derived CBD usage under certain conditions, such as a specific medical condition, and some states strictly prohibit it. As of 2019, there are 10 States where Cannabis, including both marijuana and hemp, are completely legal for recreational and medicinal use. These states are Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington. In addition, as of 2019, there are a total of 47 states (including the 8 states mentioned above) where marijuana-derived CBD is legal for medicinal usage. The specific regulations for such use vary from state to state with a majority of states allowing medicinal use for a broad range of conditions, while others set specific requirements for approved use (ie, the CBD must contain less than a certain percentage of THC or the patient suffers from a specific condition).

 

States with regulations that permit the use of marijuana-derived CBD for a broad range of conditions include Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington and West Virginia.

 

States with regulations that permit the use of marijuana-derived CBD under certain circumstances include Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

 

Both hemp-derived and marijuana-derived CBD are legal at varying levels in a majority of the United States; however, there are certain states where marijuana-derived CBD is strictly prohibited and even hemp-derived CBD is a bit of a gray area. There are currently three (3) states that have taken a strong stance against CBD in the US: Idaho, Nebraska, and South Dakota.

 

The Allied Business Model

 

The Company’s focus will be on the lowest cost of production with high quality. This is intended to produce the highest margins possible. Given the average cost of production in Canada being approximately $1.52CDN per gram, the Allied anticipated $0.09-0.15 cents per gram will provide a serious competitive advantage.

 

Products and Services

 

The company has acquired a catalogue of CBD (Cannabidiol) based products that include a heal-all cream, SPF 30 sun screen, anti-aging cream. Additional products using nano-technology will be produced for the medical and over the counter use.

 

 

· We plan on bringing to market a catalogue of nano-encapsulated cannabinoid products. In addition to this, we plan to offer balms, edibles, tinctures and many other products intended to help veterans and first responders

 

· A mechanical nano-emulsification process is applied to encapsulate the cannabinoids with a nano “micelle”. This molecule is rendered water soluble. This eliminates the need to combust (or smoke) the product, which is the least healthy way of administration

 

· Patients and customers can enjoy the therapeutic benefits without needing to smoke any plant material

 

· The onset/offset of therapeutic benefit occurs within a much more predictable timeline:

 

· 3 minute therapeutic titration point

 

· 15 minute maximum effect

 

· 3 hour off set time

In addition to this, the Company plans to continue to develop solid partnerships for sales and distribution into South America.

 

Through Allied’s products and supply chain, clients will be able to access superior cannabis-related products with a greater level of confidence regarding quality control. The rapid growth of the cannabis sector requires companies to have sophisticated production and customer support systems in order to remain competitive and scalable. Allied is fortunate to have assembled a team of industry veterans and management professionals with the background and experience to enable the Company to build, manage and grow such systems.

 

Colombia Production

 

The Company’s Colombia facility is intended to provide the following benefits. Essentially, the site is situated in ideal equatorial climate conditions for growing:

 

 

· 12 hours of consistent natural sun all year round

 

· Massive land mass potential for expedient scale

 

· Steady temperatures with low variance during the year

 

· Rich fertile soils and plentiful water supply

 

· Multiple harvests per year of premium quality product

 

· Large cohort available of economical, experienced farming workforce

 

· Local farming skills honed over generations

 

· Sustainable labor costs

 

· Clear recognition of tax, job and industry benefits

 

· Environmentally and socially sustainable production

 

· Natural sunlight minimizes energy usage and carbon footprint

Competition

 

We face significant competition in the Cannabis and CBD industry. We compete for business primarily on the basis of size and coverage, location, price, quality, and brand recognition. We may also face competition from new entrants into the cannabis service business.

 

Significant competition could reduce our operating margins and profitability and lead to a loss of market share. Some of our existing and potential competitors may have competitive advantages such as significantly greater brand recognition, a longer history in development of cannabis products, CBD manufacture and distribution, marketing or other resources, and may be able to mimic and adopt our business model. In addition, several of our competitors have significantly larger networks than we do, which gives them an ability to reach a larger number of overall potential consumers and which may make them less susceptible than we are to downturns. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully compete against new or existing competitors, and failure to compete may reduce for existing market share and profits.

 

Some of our major competitors in the Canadian cannabis production realm include Canopy Growth Corporation, Aurora Cannabis, Inc., Aphria, Inc., MedReleaf Corp., CannTrust Holdings, Inc., The Supreme Cannabis Company, Inc. OrganGram Holdings, Inc., The Hydropothecary Corporation, Mariacann Group, Inc., and Emblem Corp.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

The Company plans to undertake a multi-prong approach to marketing, which will include:

 

 

· Approaching key Canadian Forces Bases (10 Army, 2 Navy, 11 Air Force) and stations

 

· Working with Legions Canada and their 1,400 locations across the country

 

· Working with Veterans Affairs

 

· Creating a sales force of retired service members

 

· Utilizing Social Media platforms

 

In Canada, South America, Europe and Israel we have several partnerships developing that will mobilize the Allied research and development, sales and marketing approach.

 

With the legalization of cannabis in Canada, the market share taken up by the illicit market will progressively decline while the adult use market and medical market will progressively expand.

The following discussion relates to the historical operations and financial statements of Allied Corp. for the transition period from April 1, 2019 through and including August 31, 2019.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report. The Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. When used, the words “believe,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “target,” “estimate,” “expect,” and the like, and/or future-tense or conditional constructions (“will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” etc.), or similar expressions, identify certain of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this Annual Report. Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

We do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Annual Report.

 

As a result of the Reorganization Agreement and the change in business and operations of the Company, a discussion of the past financial results of the Company, formally known as Cosmo Ventures, Inc., is not pertinent, and, under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States the historical financial results of AM Biosciences, the acquirer for accounting purposes, prior to the Reorganization Agreement are considered the historical financial results of the Company.

 

The following discussion highlights the Company’s results of operations and the principal factors that have affected its consolidated financial condition as well as its liquidity and capital resources for the periods described, and provides information that management believes is relevant for an assessment and understanding of the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations presented herein. The following discussion and analysis are based Allied Corp’s audited and unaudited financial statements contained in this Current Report, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. You should read the discussion and analysis together with such financial statements and the related notes thereto.

 

Overview

 

Allied (or “Allied” or “the Company”) is a public Nevada corporation focused on bringing to market medical cannabis in Canada initially, via our wholly-owned subsidiary AM (Advanced Micro) Biosciences, Inc. that has end stage national license applications.

 

Allied has plans for further international expansion into South America via acquisitions of national license holders. As a research and development company, Allied’s focus is on creating and providing targeted cannabinoid health solutions for today’s medical issues. One of our top R&D priorities is developing effective Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)/Post Traumatic Stress Injury (PTSI) solutions.

 

Led by a team of experienced Industry experts, Allied will use that valuable data to properly select and secure the appropriate products and business activities to ensure the company’s success.

Table of Contents

 

The Company’s vertically integrated approach focuses on sufferers of PTSD. This market includes:

 

 

· Canadian Veterans, with initially an approximate 6,000 veterans available for first contact and onboarding, and a veteran base of approximately 650,000 in Canada from the War Service and Canadian Armed Forces

 

· An additional 2,000,000+ Canadian veterans who also suffer in certain numbers from PTSD, including estimates of:

 

· 740,000 RCMP/Police Officers

 

· 925,000 Correctional Services Canada/Canadian Border Services Agency/Canadian Peace Officers

 

· 280,000 Firefighters (not including volunteers)

 

· 75,000 Paramedics

 

· Potential South American market

 

· Potential United States market: approximately 15 million veterans.

 

The Company’s additional focus is on neutraceutical products for veterans and general public through bringing hemp derived nano-technology products to market in the United States. Differentiators from our competitors potentially include the low cost, high margin production that Allied has available via Colombian Production.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements and related notes are presented in the United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

Preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain 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. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers highly liquid financial instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

 
16
 
Table of Contents

 

Loss per Common Share

 

The basic loss per common share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. The diluted loss per common share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Diluted loss per common share are the same as basic loss per common share due to the lack of dilutive items in the Company. As of August 31, 2019, March 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no common stock equivalents outstanding.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax balances and tax loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company estimates the fair value of each stock-based compensation award at the grant date by using Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value determined represents the cost of the award and is recognized over the vesting period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. As stock-based compensation expense is recognized based on awards ultimately expected to vest. Excess tax benefits, if any, are recognized as additional paid in capital.

 

Change in Fiscal Year End

 

Effective November 12, 2019 our Board of Directors determined to change the Company’s fiscal year end from March 31 to August 31 for each year. This Transition Report on Form 10-K reflects the interim period from the Company’s most recently filed Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 through the new year end of August 31, 2019.

 

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

We have incurred recurring losses to date. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation.

 

We expect we will require additional capital to meet our long term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through, among other things, the sale of equity or debt securities.

Results of Operations

 

Transition Period from April 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019

 

Net Revenues

 

For the transition period from April 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019 (the Company’s new fiscal year end), the Company had no revenues and expenses of $211,869. These expenses consisted principally of consulting fees in the development of the Company’s cannabis business, general office expenses, professional fees and rent.

 

Net Income (Loss)

 

For the transition period April 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019 (the Company’s fiscal year end), the Company had a net operating loss of $211,869.

 

Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2019 compared to March 31, 2018

 

We did not earn any revenues for the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

Expenses for the year ended March 31, 2019 totaled $23,108 general and administrative, comprised of $18,703 in professional fees, filing fees of $3,823 and office expenses of $582, resulting in a net loss of $23,108.

 

Expenses for the year ended March 31, 2018 totaled $19,253 general and administrative, comprised of $13,150 in professional fees, filing fees of $5,851 and office expenses of $252, resulting in a net loss of $19,253. The increase in expenses from fiscal 2019 to fiscal 2018 was primarily due to the increase in professional fees.

Capital Expenditures

 

For the transition period from April 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019 we had $Nil capital expenditures. Subsequent to August 31, 2019, through our transaction with AM (Advanced Micro) Biosciences, we have significant and material commitments for capital expenditures as of the date of this Report.

 

MediColombias Acquisition (Colombia Licensed Producer)

 

In May 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a company called Medi Colombias SAS. This company is based in Colombia with a full set of licenses and a lease agreement in place to begin production on a 5 hectare parcel of land. We have the ability to scale production to over hundreds of hectares. This is located in the area of Bucamaranga, Colombia.

 

This acquisition includes a high level scientific team of experts and significant capital expenditures spent on an irrigation holding pond, security towers, fencing, etc. to meet the Colombia minister of justice and minister of agriculture requirements.

 

The total acquisition price is $5,200,000. That price is payable (a) $185,000 USD within 5 days of signing the acquisition (this has been completed from the private placement funds); (b) $200,000 USD within 30 days of signing the acquisition (this has also been completed from private placement funds); (c) $315,000 USD within three months of signing the acquisition and (d) 4,500,000 shares of common stock valued at $1.00 USD per share.

 

An additional $700,000 USD will be paid to MediColombias in the form of Advanced Micro or Allied shares at a 30 day moving average market share price, once the terms noted in the following table are achieved. All of these performance-based production volumes are based upon product produced from MediColombias.

 

Falcon Ridge Acquisition (Canadian end-stage Licensed Producer applicant).

 

In May 2019, AM Biosciences closed a share purchase agreement and made the first installment payments for the acquisition of late stage Canadian Licensed Producer applicant: Falcon Ridge (the “Falcon Ridge Acquisition”).

 

The purchase is for a total of $2,150,000. This payment will be paid (a) $250,000 CDN due May 31, 2019 (this has been paid out of the proceeds of the $0.50 cent private placement); (b) $250,000 CDN due on or before July 01, 2019 (this has also been paid out of the proceeds of the $0.50 cent private placement); (c) $700,000 CDN due within five days of receiving full license (which we anticipate in the fourth quarter of 2019); and (d) 950,000 shares in AM Biosciences valued at $1.00 CDN per share.

 

We were given the approval from Health Canada as “Confirmation of Readiness” for this application.

 

Assumption of contract of purchase and sale of 8999 Jim Bailey Rd.

 

In May 2019, AM Biosciences assumed the contract of purchase and sale of real property located at 8999 Jim Bailey Rd. This is for the purchase of two real lots of approximately 1.1 acres each. This contract of purchase and sale is set to close in the third quarter of 2019. This land will be where the Canadian Licensed Producer and product processing and extraction facility will be located. Land preparation is well underway and is expected to be ready for when the building arrives in the third quarter of 2019.

 

Natural Health Products Acquisition

 

In May 2019, as a part of the Falcon Ridge Acquisition, the management team of AM Biosciences were able to negotiate the inclusion of a natural health products catalogue of products. This includes 50 products in the natural health vertical market. Three of these products are of particular interest as they have Natural Health Products registration numbers with Health Canada. AM Biosciences can add these to the product offerings both in Canada and the United States.

Natural health vertical run of first product: “Tactical Relief ™ “

 

In June 2019, AM Biosciences was able to source, negotiate and execute and agreement to do the first packaging run of the “Tactical Relief” product that is targeted at veterans in the United States. This product is not based on THC, but rather a Hemp-derived CBD product that is targeted at the veteran community. We anticipate selling through a small 500 product launch in the second quarter of 2019. We have been able to secure distribution in Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee and Illinois. The management and sales of this product is handled through a licensing deal with a company called Savage Consulting, LLC. Due to the national legislation in the United Sates, Allied has licensed the management of the hemp derived CBD product, Tactical Relief™ to Savage Consulting, LLC.

 

Xtreme Cubes construction has begun

 

In June 2019, AM Biosciences signed the production and manufacturing contract to begin the manufacturing of the full building for the Canada extraction and production facility. This building will be a fully scalable, modular building. This building is expected to come off of the production line in Nevada sometime in the third quarter of 2019. We anticipate being able to extract and produce additional strain development in this building beginning fourth quarter 2019. The Company made an upfront payment of $230,000 USD in June 2019 and an additional payment of $903,385 in August 2019.

 

Commitments and Contractual Obligations

 

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide this information.

 

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Going Concern

 

The independent auditors’ report accompanying our August 31, 2019 financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $296,668 at August 31, 2019 and net loss from operations of $211,869.

 

The Company does not yet have a history of financial stability. Historically, the principal source of liquidity has been the issuance of equity securities. In addition, the Company is in the development stage and has generated no revenues since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The ability of the Company to continue operations is dependent on the success of Management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through the issuance of equity securities, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.

 

The Company will require additional funding to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives. The Company believes its current available cash will be sufficient to meet its cash needs for the near future. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the stockholders and the board of directors of

Allied Corp. (formerly Cosmo Ventures Inc.)

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Allied Corp. (formerly Cosmo Ventures Inc.) (the “Company”) as of August 31, 2019, the related statement of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the period from April 1, 2019 to August 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of August 31, 2019, March 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from April 1, 2019 to August 31, 2019, and years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1, the Company, has incurred a loss from operations and has not yet generated any revenue from operations since inception. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting 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.

 

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Other Matter

 

The financial statements of Allied Corp. (formerly Cosmo Ventures Inc.) for the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified option on those financial statements on June 28, 2019 and June 27, 2018 respectively.

 

Manning Elliott LLP

 

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2019.

ALLIED CORP.

(Formerly Cosmo Ventures Inc.)

Notes to Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Company

 

Allied Corp. (the “Company”) (formerly named Cosmo Ventures Inc.) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 3, 2013. On July 1, 2019, the Company changed its name to “Allied Corp.” On November 12, 2019, our Board of Directors approved a change in our fiscal year-end from March 31 to August 31. As a result of this change, our fiscal year is a 5 month transition period beginning April 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019. In these statements, including the notes thereto, financial results for fiscal 2019 are for a 5 month period. Corresponding results for the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 are both for 12 month periods. During the periods presented the Company’s business plan is to purchase overstocked inventory items from manufacturers and retailers and offer them to the public at discounted prices via a web-based on-line store.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements and related notes are presented in the United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

Preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain 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. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers highly liquid financial instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Loss per Common Share

 

The basic loss per common share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. The diluted loss per common share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Diluted loss per common share are the same as basic loss per common share due to the lack of dilutive items in the Company. As of August 31, 2019, March 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no common stock equivalents outstanding.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax balances and tax loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company estimates the fair value of each stock-based compensation award at the grant date by using Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value determined represents the cost of the award and is recognized over the vesting period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. As stock-based compensation expense is recognized based on awards ultimately expected to vest. Excess tax benefits, if any, are recognized as additional paid in capital.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company does not expect the adoption of any recent accounting pronouncements to have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued for disclosure and consideration.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

As at August 31, 2019 the Company has generated no revenues from its business operations and has incurred operating losses of $365,834 since inception. The Company requires additional funding to meet its ongoing obligations and to fund anticipated operating losses. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising capital to fund its initial business plan and ultimately to attain profitable operations. Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company intends to continue to fund its business by way of private placements and advances from related parties as may be required. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

 

NOTE 3 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

During the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company’s former CEO loaned the Company $20,528. As of August 31, 2019, March 31, 2019 and 2018 the Company owed $31,569 to the former CEO. The balance due is unsecured and non-interest-bearing with no set terms of repayment.

 

During the period ended August 31, 2019, the Company’s CEO loaned the Company $6,902. During the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company’s CEO loaned the Company $11,983. As of August 31, 2019, March 31, 2019 and 2018 the Company owed $20,015, $13,113 and $1,130, respectively, to the CEO. The balance due is unsecured and non-interest-bearing with no set terms of repayment.

  

NOTE 4 – EQUITY

 

On July 10, 2019, at a Special Meeting of the Shareholders of the Company and the Board of Directors approved the of Amendment to Our Articles of Incorporation (i) changing the name of the Corporation to Allied Corp. and (ii) increasing the authorized capital stock of the Corporation from 75,000,000 to 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share; and the approval of a 6.666 shares for each one share stock dividend on the Corporation’s common stock which became effective August 7, 2019 when it was accepted by FINRA. The effects of the stock split have been reflected in the financial statements.

 

On July 1, 2019, the Company amended the articles of incorporation to change the par value of the authorized common stock and preferred stock from $0.001 to $0.0001.

 

Effective July 1, 2019 the Company was assigned proceeds from a private placement at $0.50 per share completed during May and June 2019 for a total raise of $1,325,000. In August 2019 the Company issued 2,650,000 shares of restricted common stock to such investors.

 

From August 1, 2019 through August 13, 2019, the Company completed a private placement at $0.75 per share to an accredited investor for a total raise of $3,000,000. In August 2019 the Company issued 4,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to such investor.

NOTE 5 – COMMITMENT

 

On July 25, 2019, as amended effective August 27, 2019, the Company entered into a Reorganization and Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Reorganization Agreement”) to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding equity of AM (Advanced Micro) Biosciences, Inc (“AM Biosciences”). Effective September 10, 2019, the parties closed the Reorganization Agreement. As part of the transaction, the majority shareholder of the Company (the “Allied Shareholder”) delivered 55,700,714 of common stock, representing approximately 73.2% of the outstanding equity of the Company to SECFAC Exchange Corp. on behalf of the prior shareholders of AM Biosciences and certain other designees of AM Biosciences. Further, as part of the transaction, the Allied Shareholder submitted for cancellation and return to treasury 10,459,317 shares of common stock. As a consequence, immediately subsequent to the close of the Reorganization Agreement, the Company had 76,046,680 shares of common stock outstanding.

 

Pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement, effective on September 10, 2019, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity of AM Biosciences. As consideration for the equity of AM Biosciences, the Allied Shareholder issued and delivered 55,700,014 shares of common stock, representing approximately 73.2% of the outstanding equity of the Company to SECFAC Exchange Corp. on behalf of the previous shareholders of AM Biosciences and other designees of AM Biosciences.

 

The Reorganization Agreement constitutes a reverse merger, such that AM Biosciences acquired control of Allied Corp. At the time of the Reorganization Agreement the operations of both Allied Corp. and AM Biosciences did not constitute businesses under ASC 805 “Business Combinations” and accordingly the transaction is considered an asset acquisition.

 

Prior to August 31, 2019, the Company had advanced AM Biosciences $4,084,599 which has been recorded as a related party advance at August 31, 2019. AM Biosciences is a corporation with directors in common with the Company. The amount is unsecured, non-interest bearing and are due on demand.

 

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES

 

At August 31, 2019, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $257,000. The significant components of deferred income tax assets at August 31, 2019, March 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

The amount taken into income as deferred income tax assets must reflect that portion of the income tax loss carry forwards that is more likely-than-not to be realized from future operations. The Company has chosen to provide a full valuation allowance against all available income tax loss carry forwards. The Company has recognized a valuation allowance for the deferred income tax asset since the Company cannot be assured that it is more likely than not that such benefit will be utilized in future years. The valuation allowance is reviewed annually. When circumstances change and which cause a change in management’s judgment about the realizability of deferred income tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is generally reflected in current income.

 

As of August 31, 2019, March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company has no recognized income tax benefits. The Company’s policy for classifying interest and penalties associated with unrecognized income tax benefits is to include such items as tax expense. No interest or penalties have been recorded during the five months ended August 31, 2019 or the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. No interest or penalties have been accrued as of August 31, 2019, March 31, 2019 and 2018. As of August 31, 2019, March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any amounts recorded pertaining to uncertain tax positions.

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES – CONTINUED

 

A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes at the United States federal statutory rate of 21% for the five months ended August 31, 2019 and for the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

As of August 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $257,000 of federal net operating losses that may be available to offset future taxable income. The net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2034 unless utilized. In accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, deductibility of the Company’s U.S. net operating carryovers may be subject to an annual limitation in the event of a change of control as defined the regulations. A Section 382 analysis has not been prepared and the Company’s NOLs could be subject to limitation.

 

The Company assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be realized. To the extent that realization is not likely, a valuation allowance is established. Based upon the Company’s losses since inception, management believes that it is more likely than not that the future benefits of its deferred tax assets will not be realized and has therefore established a full valuation allowance.

  

NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Subsequent to August 31, 2019, the transaction and acquisition of AM Biosciences described in Note 5 was completed.

Item 9. Change in and Disagreement with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 

At inception the Company engaged Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), to audit its financial statements for the period of inception to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.

 

Effective November 12, 2019, we determined to change our auditors to the firm who had audited our operating subsidiary and consequently terminated Marcum LLP as our independent accountant. Marcum’s report on our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2019 and 2018 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended, did not contain an adverse opinion, and was not modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The decision to change our independent accountant was made and approved by the entire Board of Directors.

 

During our most recent fiscal years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, through the subsequent interim periods ended June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019, and further through November 15, 2019, there have been no disagreements with Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its report.

 

During our most recent fiscal years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, through the subsequent transition period ended August 31, 2019, Marcum did not advise us on any matter set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v)(A) through (D) of Regulation S-K.

 

Effective November 12, 2019, we engaged Manning Elliott, LLP (“Manning Elliott”) to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for our transition period from March 31, 2019 through August 31, 2019, and for our fiscal year ending August 31, 2020. During our most recent fiscal years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and through the subsequent interim transition period ended August 31, 2019, up until their date of engagement, we did not consult with Manning Elliott regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or contemplated, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to us that was an important factor to be considered by us in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

 

The report of Manning Elliott regarding the Company’s financial statements for the transition period April 1, 2019 through the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

Management’s 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 Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

 

Our management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2019. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that, as of August 31, 2019, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permits us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the transition period from April 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transaction, and Director Independence

 

In the normal course of operations, the Company may transact with companies or person related to Allied’s directors or officers. All amounts payable and receivable are non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on demand.

 

As of the date of this Transition Report, other than as disclosed below and in this Current report, none of our directors, officers or principal stockholders, nor any associate or affiliate of the foregoing, have any interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction or in any proposed transactions, which has materially affected or will materially affect us.

 

In May 2019, AM (Advanced Micro) Biosciences Inc, “AM” assumed the contract of purchase and sale of real property located at 8999 Jim Bailey Rd. This is for the purchase of two real lots of approximately 1.1 acres each. This contract of purchase and sale is set to close in the first quarter of 2020. This land will be where the Canadian Licensed Producer and product processing and extraction facility will be located and is considered material to the Company’s future processing and extraction activities in Canada. Land preparation will begin following City of Kelowna approvals and is expected to be ready for when the modular building arrives in the first quarter of 2020. In November 2019, the Company concluded that it would not close on lot two as it will not be required for future operations. This change will not affect the Company’s intended operations.

 

The initial purchase contract for the land was made between 4224973 Canada Inc. and 1185710 B.C. Ltd in November 2018. At that time the Company’s CEO, Calum Hughes, held a 50% interest in 1185710 B.C. Ltd. The real property was purchased to be used for “AM” future processing and extraction activities however “AM” did not have the financial or borrowing capacity to acquire the property at that time. To secure the real property acquisition, the purchase contract was made by 1185710 B.C. Ltd. Subsequent to the initial execution of the purchase contract, Mr. Hughes divested in his interest in 1185710 B.C. Ltd. to mitigate potential future conflicts with assigning the purchase contract to “AM”. Mr. Hughes currently has no interests in 1185710 B.C. Ltd.

 

In May 2019, the residual shareholder of 1185710 B.C. Ltd. was granted a consulting contract to assist AM with new business opportunities, build alliances with partnerships with other organizations, consult on real property and leases, and to assist and advise on general business matters relating to real estate. The consulting agreement provided the consultant with the following compensation:

 

 

· CAD $210,000 cash payment for past services

 

· CAD $30,000 monthly payments applicable from July 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019

 

· 215,000 Class “B” Voting shares of “AM” with a deemed value of CAD $1.00 per share

  

The consulting agreement was reduced by approximately 50% in November 2019 when the Company determined that it would not close on lot two and therefore required a reduction in the consulting services required. The Company does not intend to renew this agreement.

 

Director Independence

 

The Company is not listed on any national exchange, or quoted on any inter-dealer quotation service, that imposes independence requirements on any committee of the Company’s directors, such as an audit, nominating or compensation committee. The Company currently has no independent directors on its Board.

CERTIFICATION

 

I, Calum Hughes, certify that:

 

1. I have reviewed this transition report on Form 10-K of Allied Corp. (the "Registrant");

 

 

2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

 

 

3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this transition report;

 

 

4. The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:

 

 

a. Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this annual report is being prepared;

 

 

 

 

b. Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

 

 

 

 

c. Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

 

 

 

 

d. Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal control over financial reporting; and

 

5. The registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

 

 

a. All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial; and

 

 

 

 

b. Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
