ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Business Development
On February 24, 2015, we filed a Form 8-A Registration Statement with the SEC, and we are now required to file reports under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act); and our directors, officers, 10% and 5% shareholders are required to file beneficial ownership reports with the SEC on applicable Forms.
Introduction
Past Plan of Operations
On June 13, 2012, we were formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Geo Point Technologies, Inc., a Utah corporation (Geo Point Utah), and into which Geo Point Utah simultaneously authorized the conveyance of the segment of its business comprising all of its Environmental and Engineering Divisions assets, business, operations, rights or otherwise, along with its Hydrocarbon Identification Technology (HI Technology) License Agreement dated January 31, 2008 (the License Agreement), subject to the assumption by us of all related liabilities and the indemnification of Geo Point Utah by us from any liabilities relating to these assets and operations. Also on June 13, 2012, the Board of Directors of Geo Point Utah approved a stock dividend that resulted in a spin-off of all of our shares of common stock to the Geo Point Utah stockholders, pro rata, on a one share for one share basis, on the record date (the Spin-Off). The Spin-Off had a record date of January 17, 2013; and ex-dividend date of January 15, 2013; and a Spin-Off payment date of April 22, 2013. On the effective date of the Spin-Off, there were approximately 1,002,167 outstanding shares of our co mmon stock. For additional information about the Spin-Off, see our Prospectus dated January 7, 2013, and filed with the SEC on January 8, 2013; and our 8-K Current Report dated April 22, 2013, and filed with the SEC on such date. See Part IV, Item 15.
The Environmental and Engineering Divisions comprised the initial operations of Geo Point Utah at its inception and were commenced as a DBA in 1997, by Geo Point Utahs founder, William C. Lachmar, who then served as our President and sole director, in the State of California. The Company operated this business until February 2018 when Mr. Lachmar died. The Company has no plans to continue this business following Mr. Lachmars death.

Acquisition of TORtec Group
On November 22, 2017, (the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the Agreement) with TORtec Group, a Wyoming corporation (TORtec Group) and all of the shareholders of TORtec Group, pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of TORtec Group. The acquisition of TORtec Group by the Company was successfully consummated on December 4, 2017.
Under the terms of the Agreement, a total of 90,000,000 shares of the Companys restricted common stock were issued to the seventeen TORtec Group shareholders as consideration in exchange for all 10,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of TORtec Group common stock being transferred to the Company, making TORtec Group a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result, the TORtec Group shareholders collectively own ninety percent (90.0%) of our issued and outstanding shares of our common stock immediately following the acquisition. New directors and officers of the Company were appointed in connection with the acquisition.
Stephen Smoot was a former officer of Capital Vario CR S.A. (Capital Vario), which was the controlling shareholder of the Company prior to the acquisition, but resigned from his affiliation with Capital Vario prior to a $500,000 debt-to-equity conversion by Capital Vario with the Company. Smoot became the President/CEO and Director of TORtec Group on September 8, 2017.
As part of the closing of the acquisition, the Companys then sole director (William C. Lachmar) elected Franc Smidt, Alex Schmidt, Maksim Goncharenko, Jeffrey R. Brimhall, Stephen H. Smoot, and Irina Kochetkova to the Companys Board of Directors before resigning as an officer and director of the Company. The following persons were then elected as officers of the Company: Franc Smidt Chairman of the Board of Directors, Stephen H. Smoot - President and CEO, Alex Schmidt Vice President, and Irina Kochetkova Secretary and Treasurer. Jeffrey R. Brimhall resigned as an officer of the Company but has been appointing to serve as a director. Maksim Goncharenko subsequently resigned as a director on July 3, 2018.
For additional information concerning the acquisition of TORtec Group, see the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 4, 2017 and filed with the SEC on December 8, 2017, as amended in a Form 8-K/ Amendment dated June 22, 2018 and filed with the SEC on June 22, 2018.
Future Plan of Operations
Now that the acquisition of TORtec Group is complete, we will become engaged, through our subsidiary TORtec Group, in the business of harnessing the natural implosion forces of a vortex (tornado), employing resonating frequencies, to disintegrate soft to ultra-hard materials into micron or nano-sized particles.
On September 9, 2017, TORtec Group entered into General Agreement No. US-17 with Scientific Research Institute of Technological Progress, Limited, a limited company organized under the laws of Cyprus (SRITP) for the cooperation and joint activities on commercialization of TOR-technologies, introduction of new productions, products and services in the markets of North, Central and South America (the Exclusive License Agreement) with the parties that invented the TOR-technology. The Exclusive License Agreement grants to TORtec Group an exclusive license to utilize the technology for certain purposes throughout North, Central and South America. The TOR-technology equipment is best described as a cascaded adiabatic resonance vortex mill utilizing compressed air as the energy in the system. This proprietary technology includes the ability to size and classify material processed by elemental composition and specific gravity. A more detailed description of the acquisition is included in the Companys two Current Reports on Form 8-K: (a) dated November 22, 2017 and filed with the SEC on November 29, 2017; and (b) dated December 4, 2017 and filed with the SEC on December 8, 2017, as amended in a Form 8-K/ Amendment dated June 22, 2018 and filed with the SEC on June 22, 2018; both of which are incorporated herein by this reference.
On June 18, 2018, TORtec Group entered into License Agreement No. W-1/18 with Forschunginstitut GmbH a limited liability company registered in Switzerland, the successor-in-interest to SRITP , pursuant to which it was granted a license to use the TOR technology and the utility model Tornado documentation for certain purposes, for which TORtec Group shall pay an initial royalty of 30,000 Euros, and an annual royalty equal to 10% of any

after tax profit received by TORtec Group (and any subsidiaries) by the years result. A copy of this License Agreement is attached to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 as Exhibit 10.1.
On September 9, 2017, TORtec Group entered into an agreement with MTM Center GmbH, then a shareholder of TORtec, for the construction of a mobile machine that utilizes the TOR-technology, referred to as the Tornado M. The total purchase price is 394,000 Euros ($474,159 as of September 9, 2017 date of the agreement). On March 3, 2018 the agreement was amended to the amount of 305,535 Euros or $367,696 representing the original amount of 394,000 Euros or $474,159 less the amount of 88,465 Euros or $106,463 originally allocated to the Kaeser screw-compressor, plus the additional amount of 48,040 Euros or $57,814 in the form of prepayment for transportation and expenses of technical personnel to come to the USA to commission the mobile TORNADO M unit and payment in advance for an additional vortex chamber with resonating frequency rings for additional applications for the mobile TORNADO M unit, including transportation & insurance to Idaho.
On February 19, 2019, TORtec Group entered into an agreement with TORtec Forschungsinstitut GmbH, the successor-in-interest to SRITP. This license enlarged the original license with TORtec Forschungsinstitut GmbH and SRITP and granted exclusive worldwide rights to use the TOR-technology in the following applications:

Business
The TORtec Technology Business
As described above, the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, TORtec Group, entered into two (2) Exclusive License Agreements on cooperation and joint activities for the commercialization of TOR-technologies, introduction of new productions, products and services throughout the world with the parties that invented the TOR-technology. The Exclusive License Agreements grant to TORtec Group an exclusive license to utilize the technology for certain purposes worldwide. The TOR-technology equipment is best described as a cascaded adiabatic resonance vortex mill utilizing compressed air as the energy in the system. This proprietary technology includes the ability to size and classify material processed by elemental composition and specific gravity.
The TOR-technology
A new technology is being used inside the resonance Tornado mills, a noncontact material grinding, where the grinding processes are performed by means of an air vortex, artificially produced in an enclosed space within the processing chamber.
As an energy carrier (fuel), the following may be used:
pressurized air (compressor or a turbine);
any inert gas supplied under pressure
high-pressure steam (superheated steam);
the medium in the supercritical state (fluids), such as (CO2);
cooling agents
The resonant vortex TORNADO installation is a gas-dynamic mill in which the technology of cascaded adiabatic resonance impact grinding is implemented, impact velocities of which are close to a breakdown threshold. The installation is designed in a way so that any particle of the input material gets literally torn by the repeated crossing of the differential pressure zones in the inter-vortex vacuum chamber, which produces ultrahigh gradient (pressure drops) at the interface (up to hundreds of thousands atmospheres).
When the material is injected into such area of pressure differential, a rupture of the materials structure and clusters occurs. Such mechanism can be compared to the mechanism of materials sample destruction, which is done in order to determine its strength characteristics at tensile test plants. That is, the grinding occurs not due to the friction or any other mechanic force, but by air and resonances, which provide a high and efficient performance, great flow rate of raw material as well as inexpensive exploitation (no rubbing parts) with low power consumption.
The TOR technology can be used for: (1) micropulverization; (2) blending of materials; and (3) concentrating of materials.

Principal Products or Services and their Markets
The Company has no present contracts to provide any products or services. The Company has been in contact with companies that sell zeolites about the possibility of using the TOR technology to break down or reduce the size of zeolites to approximately 3 to 5 microns in size, which can then be used for different commercial purposes. The Company tested the Tornado M machine on zeolites. The technology was successful in pulverizing the Zeolite, however, it was determined that the cyclone and air filtration systems were inadequate to handle the amount of air introduced into the vortex mill. Without the properly sized air filtration system, the Company will not be able to process material and comply with air quality industry standards. After the purchase and installation of additional air handling and filtration equipment, the Company may pursue a contract with third parties to generate revenues.
According to Explainthatstuff.com, zeolites are hydrated aluminosilicate minerals made from interlinked tetrahedra of alumina (AlO4) and silica (SiO4). In simpler words, they're solids with a relatively open, three-dimensional crystal structure built from the elements aluminum, oxygen, and silicon, with alkali or alkaline-Earth metals (such as sodium, potassium, and magnesium) plus water molecules trapped in the gaps between them. Zeolites form with many different crystalline structures, which have large open pores (sometimes referred to as cavities) in a very regular arrangement and roughly the same size as small molecules. There are about 40 naturally occurring zeolites, forming in both volcanic and sedimentary rocks; according to the US Geological Survey, the most commonly mined forms include chabazite, clinoptilolite, and mordenite. Dozens more artificial, synthetic zeolites (around 150) have been designed for specific purposes, the best known of which are zeolite A (commonly used as a laundry detergent), zeolites X and Y (two different types of faujasites, used for catalytic cracking), and the petroleum catalyst ZSM-5 (a branded name for pentasil-zeolite).
Distribution Methods of the Products or Services
We have not yet commenced active operations with our TOR technologies business. We do not advertise our services in any publications. We may choose to seek customers through advertising in the future, or we may use cold calling, or possibly demonstrate our services at trade shows. We hope to obtain customers through referrals once we commence active operations.
Status of any Publicly Announced New Product or Service
In a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on May 29, 2019 and amended on May 31, 2019, the Company announced that on May 22, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with TORtec Central Asia, a Wyoming corporation, and the sole shareholder of TORtec Central Asia pursuant to which the Company has agreed to acquire 100% ownership of the outstanding shares of TORtec Central Asia stock in exchange for issuing 2,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock to the sole shareholder of TORtec Central Asia, Mr. Merdan Atayev. Mr. Atayev is the President, sole director and sole shareholder of TORtec Central Asia, a newly formed Wyoming corporation. The Share Exchange Agreement is subject to certain terms and conditions, including the transfer of: (a) a 99 year Lease Agreement to a new office, warehouse facility and land in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan (Target Land); and (b) any furniture, tools, machinery and equipment for maintenance and lifting located at the facility (Target Assets). TORtec Central Asia must first have acquired leasehold ownership to the Target Land based on a ninety-nine year lease from the government of Turkmenistan, free and clear from all mortgages, trust deeds, liens or other encumbrances, and TORtec Central Asia shall have acquired undisputed ownership of the Target Assets free and clear from all security interests, liens or other encumbrances. The Share Exchange Agreement also provides that the Company will elect Merdan Atayev as a Vice President of the Company as a condition to the Closing of the proposed acquisition.
The property to which the Lease Agreement pertains includes an industrial building and office of approximately 7,300 square meters including a warehouse and plant facility of 1,535.55 square meters and an office building of approximately 1,205 square meters which is located in the Ak-bugday District industrial free zone. The lease payments total approximately USD$500 per year. The Company intends to use the property for the following purposes: Collect and prepare bio material, including plants, herbs and minerals for shipment to the Companys facilities in Murg, Germany for further processing into valuable products with the Companys TOR-technologies. Later, the Company plans to process soil substrates for sale in Central Asia and the Middle East.

The conditions to the closing of the acquisition of TORtec Central Asia have not yet been satisfied, so the
Closing has not yet occurred.
Competitive Business Conditions and Smaller Reporting
Companys Competitive Position in the Industry and Methods of Competition
We are not aware of any companies that have access to the TOR technology in our licensed territory. However, there are companies that have other technologies that can be used for (1) micropulverization; (2) blending of materials; and (3) concentrating of materials. These competitors use planetary jet mills that can reduce the size of materials. These competitors include mostly large and well-funded entities whose businesses and subsidiaries focus on the industries in which we intend to operate. In this respect, we are at a distinct disadvantage to these competitors. We believe our competitive position in this industry as a whole is not presently significant.
However, we believe that the other existing technologies are more expensive to operate than the projected costs of using the TOR technology. If we are correct in our assessment, and if the TOR technology proves to work well commercially in the business areas that we intend to target, we believe that we may have a competitive advantage based on reduced cost.
Seasonal Nature of Our Business
Our business is not a seasonal business since we can process material which is mined and delivered year-round.
Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers
As of the present time, we have no customers. Once we commence active operations, we will target our first customer, and hope to grow from there. We expect that in the first year or two of our active operations, we will likely rely on a few customers for the success of our business, and that the loss of any customer may have a material adverse effect on our business.
Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions,
Royalty Agreements or Labor Contracts, including Duration
On June 5, 2018 the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued TORtec Group, the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, the Trademark TORtec as Registration Number 5,484,711 under International Class 7 (Crushing machines for industrial purposes; Machines, namely, crushers, impact mills, breakers, pulverizers, mixers and blenders and parts therefor, for industrial and commercial applications).
We do not hold any patents; however, through our TORtec Group subsidiary, we have a Exclusive License Agreements with TORtec Forschungsinstitut GmbH,, TOR Biologos GmbH, and Vortex Technologies Ltd. (related parties that invented the TOR-technology collectively referred to as Party 1). The Exclusive License Agreements granted to TORtec Group exclusive licenses to utilize the technology for certain purposes worldwide.
The material terms of the Exclusive License Agreements are as follows:
-
Party 1 will ensure the joint activity under the Agreements through exclusive, general, irrevocable and perpetual, worldwide licenses for applications in the mining industry, the enrichment of rocks, the processing of mineral raw materials and technogenic accumulations; exploitation of processing powder metals in the materials science industry and production of micro- and nano-structured micropowders for laser (3d-printing, AM-technology) and powder and plasma metallurgy;
-
Party 1 guarantees the effectiveness of the technology and the production of an assortment of products and services in the areas of application of TOR-technologies and useful models of "Tornado" and projects identified in the Exclusive License Agreements;
-
The parties jointly determine the strategy of development and the selection of priorities for the implementation of projects;
8
-
The parties agree that the dividend policy, program of action and budget of the Company will be approved by a separate document;
Need for any Governmental Approval of Principal Products or Services
We are not aware of any governmental approval of our licensed TOR technology or our services, other than obtaining a standard business license in each jurisdiction where we will operate.
Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on the Business
We are not aware of any existing or probable governmental regulation of our business that is unique to our industry.
Estimate of the Amount Spent during each of the last two Fiscal Years (or since Inception if shorter)
Until January 2019, we had not spent any funds on research and development since TORtec Groups inception.
Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws
At this time, we do not anticipate having to spend funds on compliance with environmental laws in the industries that we intend to operate.
Number of Total Employees and Number of Full-Time Employees
At this time, we do not have any employees. Our officers and directors intend to provide services on an as needed basis until such time as the Company hires employees.
Our Former Environmental Remediation Business
As described above, the Company operated this business until February 2018 when Mr. Lachmar died. The Company has no plans to continue this business following Mr. Lachmars death.
Our former environmental remediation business was primarily comprised of services related to identifying any recognized environmental condition (REC) or the lack thereof as provided by the federal, state or local governmental agencies in any real property of any owner, potential owner or lender, governmental agency or other person that may have a concern or may have or be seeking an interest in the subject property. Once our services were engaged, we contracted with a drilling company to drill into the ground locations selected by us to collect a physical soil sample; if the project was small and could be handled by our smaller drilling equipment, this service is not contracted out. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, the field technician that was trained by Mr. Lachmar and who was subcontracted to be onsite during our drilling operations, left the Company, and Mr. Lachmar was required to resume those duties, which he had been responsible for in earlier fiscal years. During the first part of fiscal 2017, Mr. Lachmar determined to move the Company from conducting the physical operations that had been previously conducted by it to a company focused strictly on the professional management the REC services and the leasing of environmental equipment for REC services rather than a contracting company for these services. The Company acquired and obtained access to some limited drilling and environmental remediation equipment as part of this change in course and pursued this new course of business through February 2018. This change in the scope of our business operations limited the services available for bid by the Company. Mr. Lachmar would review the Scope of Work for particular proposals that came within the Companys business focus, and if a particular proposal was one that required the physical efforts of Mr. Lachmar onsite, he would not bid on the project, but would refer the proposed project to another party for contracting, with the understanding that such party would lease the equipment of the Company for any such project to the extent that the Company had the equipment necessary to perform the required field work on the project. Once the soil sample was obtained, it was submitted to a State of California certified laboratory for analysis of the existence of hazardous materials. Based upon the laboratorys analysis, William C. Lachmar prepared a written report that was sanctioned by the particular laboratory that conducted the analysis. Mr. Lachmars licensing as a Professional Geologist was a requirement to prepare any such report. If an REC was identified to exist, then we would provide project management and engineering conclusions and recommendations necessary to remediate the property and bring it back into regulatory compliance
9
based upon the California tables of acceptable levels of product contamination. Acceptable levels were further qualified based upon residential, commercial and industrial zoned properties, with the residential levels being the most stringent. Examples of contaminations that result in concern included those that were inadvertently or otherwise inoculated into the shallow subsurface soils or groundwater, like gasoline, diesel fuel, dry cleaning fluid, rocket fuel, arsenic, mercury, lead and other toxic substances. These services were basically the same in each project: examine the property; drill or have it drilled for soil samples; submit the soil samples to a State of California certified laboratory; prepare a report on the soil samples; and if an REC was found to exist, provide the described services, directly or through subcontractors, by or under the supervision of Mr. Lachmar. Sometimes, we merely assessed the environmental impact of any hazardous materials found and prepared the requested report.
We also provided consulting and compliance services for new utility installation and general site erosion control for housing tracts and updating service station underground storage tanks and fuel dispensing systems to comply with continually changing California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulations.
Principal Products or Services and their Markets
Our environmental remediation services generally included:
·
Construction and Emergency Response;
·
Demolition, Remediation and Restoration;
·
Subsurface Investigation;
·
Water and Wastewater Treatment;
·
Engineering and Environmental Consulting;
·
Environmental Permitting and Compliance; and
·
Litigation Support.
Distribution Methods of the Products or Services
We did not advertise our services in any publications, and we relied primarily on past customers for repeat business, including large property management companies, wholesale fuel distributors and automobile dealers, among others, for referrals. Most of our referrals came from two long standing clients; or three major commercial real estate management companies in California; or two health specialists to whom we paid commissions for referrals.
All chemicals required for our services were supplied by subcontractors and were readily available. We did not store any regulated chemicals or waste at our facilities; nor did we manufacture any such products.
We had no real suppliers of products other than some environmental hand held equipment that was competitively marketed by numerous distributors, and there was little chance that any equipment that was necessary to conduct our environmental services would not be available to rent or purchase.
Status of any Publicly Announced New Product or Service
We have not had any recent public announcement of any new product or service.
Competitive Business Conditions and Smaller Reporting
Companys Competitive Position in the Industry and Methods of Competition
Our competitors in the environmental remediation business included mostly large and well-funded entities whose businesses and subsidiaries focused solely on the industries in which we operated. In this respect, we were at a distinct disadvantage to those competitors. Our services were limited to smaller projects by reason of our limited financial resources and staff. We believe our competitive position in this industry as a whole was not significant.
Our principal competitors included AECOM Technology Corporation, URS, Kleinfelter, Levine Fricke, CH2M Hill Companies, Ltd., The Reynolds Group and Geosyntec, most all of which were larger, well financed multinational publicly-held companies or divisions or subsidiaries of large, well financed multinational companies.

Seasonal Nature of Our Business
The second quarter of our fiscal year (July 1 to September 30) was typically our strongest quarter in the environmental remediation business. The U.S. federal government has historically authorized more work during the period preceding the end of its fiscal year, September 30. In addition, many U.S. state governments with fiscal years ending on June 30 have historically accelerated spending during the fiscal first quarter when new funding budgets become available.
Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, services provided to two customers accounted for 66.3% (related party) and 28.4% of total revenues. One of these customers, which represented 66.3%, is a related party (see Note 7 of our audited financial statements that accompany this Annual Report for additional information, in Part II, Item 8, below). Management believed the loss of these customers would have a material adverse impact on the Company
Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions,
Royalty Agreements or Labor Contracts, including Duration
We do not hold any patents; however, we have proprietary technology applications related to our hydrocarbon- indicating methods and technology (the HI Technology), which was developed and licensed by Mr. Lachmar to our predecessor parent, Geo Point Utah, and assigned to us on our formation on June 13, 2012.
The material terms of the License Agreement are as follows:
Mr. Lachmar granted to us an exclusive, world-wide license to use the HI Technology for commercial exploitation, including subleasing the HI Technology to other parties.
The intellectual property associated with the HI Technology, as well as any additional related intellectual property developed by Mr. Lachmar, is included within the scope of the license. Currently, the intellectual property is maintained as trade secrets and protected by the confidentiality provisions of the License Agreement; however, any patents, trademarks or copyrights or applications therefore, related to the HI Technology, will also be included within the scope of the License Agreement.
Upon execution of the License Agreement, Geo Point Utah, the original licensee under the License Agreement, paid Mr. Lachmar a one-time license fee of $125,000. Except as otherwise provided therein and as discussed below, the License Agreement is irrevocable.
Mr. Lachmar retained the right to exploit the Hi Technology and processes.
The License Agreement may be terminated by either party, subject to a 60-day notice period, upon a breach of the License Agreement that remains uncured during the notice period.
The License Agreement may be terminated by Mr. Lachmar in the event we become insolvent or unable to pay our debts as they come due, become the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding (voluntary or involuntary), other than a reorganization, or enter into a general assignment for the benefit of our creditors.
The HI Technology underlying the License Agreement, which is related to petroleum geology, has not been promoted to customers and requires substantial research and development of hydrocarbon-indicating methods and technology. No funds were expended for research and development of the HI Technology during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2019, and 2018.
Need for any Governmental Approval of Principal Products or Services
We have the necessary licenses and qualifications, singly or through our subcontractors, to conduct our business operations, without government approval, except to the extent of compliance with applicable governmental
11
regulations related to our business, which are summarized below under the heading Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on Our Business, below.
Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on the Business
Federal and State Law
We are regulated in a number of fields in which we operate. In the United States, we deal with numerous U.S. and California state governmental agencies and entities, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Carpenter-Presley-Tanner Hazardous Substance Account Act (the California Superfund Act), the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act (the California Water Control Act) and CARB. When working with these governmental agencies and entities, we must comply with laws and regulations relating to the formation, administration and performance of our contracts.
Risk assessment practices under these acts include the most current sound scientific methods for data evaluation, exposure assessment, toxicity assessment and risk characterization, documentation of all assumptions, methods, models and calculations used in the assessment including any health risk assessment. These assessments generally include:
·
Evaluation of risks posed by acutely toxic hazardous substances based on levels at which no known or anticipated adverse effects on health will occur, with an adequate margin of safety.
·
Evaluation of risks posed by carcinogens or other hazardous substances that may cause chronic disease based on a level that does not pose any significant risk to health.
·
Consideration of possible synergistic effects resulting from exposure to, or interaction with, two or more hazardous substances.
·
Consideration of the effect of hazardous substances upon subgroups that comprise a meaningful portion of the general population, including, but not limited to, infants, children, pregnant women, the elderly, individuals with a history of serious illness, or other subpopulations, that are identifiable as being at greater risk of adverse health effects due to exposure to hazardous substances than the general population.
·
Consideration of exposure and body burden level that alter physiological function or structure in a manner that may significantly increase the risk of illness and of exposure to hazardous substances in all media, including, but not limited to, exposures in drinking water, food, ambient and indoor air, and soil.
·
If currently available scientific data is insufficient to determine the level of a hazardous substance at which no known or anticipated adverse effects on health will occur, with an adequate margin of safety, or the level that poses no significant risk to public health, the risk assessment prepared in conjunction with a response action taken or approved shall be based on the level that is protective of public health, with an adequate margin of safety. This level shall be based exclusively on public health considerations; shall, to the extent scientific data are available, take into account the factors set forth; and shall be based on the most current principles, practices and methods used by public health professionals who are experienced practitioners in the fields of epidemiology, risk assessment, fate and transport analysis, and toxicology.
Compliance with federal, state and local laws enacted for the protection of the environment has to date had no significant effect on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. These costs are an integral part of the services that we provide. In the future, compliance with environmental laws could materially adversely affect us. We will continue to monitor the impact of such laws on our business and will develop appropriate compliance programs.
Emerging Growth Company
We are an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or JOBS Act. As long as we remain an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not an emerging growth
12
company, like those applicable to a smaller reporting company, including, but not limited to, a scaled down description of our business in SEC filings; no requirements to include risk factors in the Exchange Act filings; no requirement to include certain selected financial data and supplementary financial information in SEC filings; not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements that we file under the Exchange Act; no requirement for Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404(b) auditor attestations of internal control over financial reporting; and exemptions from the requirements of holding an annual nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and seeking nonbinding shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We are also only required to file audited financial statements for the previous two fiscal years when filing registration statements, together with reviewed financial statements of any applicable subsequent quarter.
We may take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We can remain an emerging growth company for up to five years. We would cease to be an emerging growth company prior to such time if we have total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more and when we become a larger accelerated filer, have a public float of $700 million or more or we issue more than $1 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.
Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
Smaller Reporting Company
We became subject to the reporting requirements of Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, subject to the disclosure requirements of Regulation S-K of the SEC, as a smaller reporting company, on the effective date of our Registration Statement. The designation of being a smaller reporting company relieves us of some of the more detailed informational requirements of Regulation S-K. See the heading Emerging Growth Company directly above for a brief summary of some of the principal reduced requirements available to a smaller reporting company.
Sarbanes/Oxley Act
We are subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Sarbanes/Oxley Act created a strong and independent accounting oversight board to oversee the conduct of auditors of public companies and strengthens auditor independence. It also requires steps to enhance the direct responsibility of senior members of management for financial reporting and for the quality of financial disclosures made by public companies; establishes clear statutory rules to limit, and to expose to public view, possible conflicts of interest affecting securities analysts; creates guidelines for audit committee members appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of public companies auditors; management assessment of our internal controls; prohibits certain insider trading during pension fund blackout periods; requires companies and auditors to evaluate internal controls and procedures; and establishes a federal crime of securities fraud, among other provisions. Compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes/Oxley Act will substantially increase our legal and accounting costs.
Exchange Act Reporting Requirements
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act requires all companies that have filed a registration statement under the Securities Act to file annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q with the SEC for a period of one year from the effective date of the Registration Statement, and we will be required to timely disclose certain material events (e.g., changes in corporate control; acquisitions or dispositions of a significant amount of assets other than in the ordinary course of business; and bankruptcy) in a Current Report on Form 8-K.
13
Research and Development Costs during the Last Two Fiscal Years
We had no research and development costs during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. During our fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, we incurred cost related to the improvement of our Tornado C.
Cost and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws
We do not maintain any hazardous chemicals on-site, and those chemicals we utilized in our remediation services were shipped directly to the impacted site from the supplier of chemicals, with all the proper manifests by a certified Hazardous Materials transporter. These chemicals are available from a wide array of suppliers.
We neither store nor manufacture any materials that require us to maintain any federal, state or local permits. Accordingly, the cost and effects of compliance with environmental laws on our business is negligible.
Number of Total Employees and Number of Full-Time Employees
We had only one employee, Mr. Lachmar, our former President; who died in February 2018.
Additional Information
You may read and copy any materials that we file with the SEC at the SECs Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. You may also find all of the reports or registration statements that we have filed electronically with the SEC at its Internet site at www.sec.gov. Please call the SEC at 1-202-551-8090 for further information on this or other Public Reference Rooms. Our SEC reports and registration statements are also available from commercial document retrieval services, such as CCH Washington Service Bureau, whose telephone number is 1-800-344-3734.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide risk factors.
ITEM 2: PROPERTIES
Our facilities were located at 1421 East Pomona Street, Santa Ana, California 92705 until February 2018. Since then we have used the address of TORtec Groups Wyoming registered agents virtual office service at 30 N. Gould Street, Suite 2849, Sheridan, Wyoming 82801 to receive mail and phone calls. Our CEO, Stephen H. Smoot, also maintains an office in his home in Ammon, Idaho. Our telephone number is (307) 248-9177. The Company pays a monthly rent of $30 for the use of these Wyoming office facilities.
ITEM 3: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding. To the knowledge of management, no federal, state or local governmental agency is presently contemplating any proceeding against us. No director, executive officer or affiliate of ours or owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of our common stock is a party adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to us in any 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
Market Information
Commencing on or about April 8, 2013, our shares of common stock began being quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA); our current trading symbol is GCNG, which was effective on June 19, 2013. No assurance can be given that any market for our common stock will develop or be maintained. If an established trading market ever develops in the future, the sale of shares of our common stock that are deemed to be restricted securities or control securities pursuant to Rule 144 of the SEC by members of management or others may have a substantial adverse impact on any such market. Since shares issued to our stockholders in the Spin-Off from Geo Point Utah were registered with the SEC, they are not considered to be restricted securities under SEC Rule 144; therefore, all of our shares of common stock may be publicly traded under Rule 144, subject to the resale limitations outlined below under the heading Rule 144 respecting affiliates.
Set forth below are the high and low closing bid prices for our common stock for each quarter of fiscal years ended March 31, 2019, and 2018. These bid prices were obtained from OTC Markets. All prices listed herein reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commissions and may not represent actual transactions.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
There were no sales of unregistered securities made by us during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, the following sales of the Companys common stock were made without registration:
(a)
As reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 24, 2017, and filed with the SEC on August 24, 2017, effective August 24, 2017, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the SPA) whereby Capital Vario CR, S.A., a corporation organized under the laws of Costa Rica (Capital Vario), acquired 8,647,796 shares of our common stock comprised of restricted securities as defined in SEC Rule 144, in consideration of the cancelation of debt owed by the Company under a Commercial Credit Line Agreement with Capital Vario dated January 1, 2013, and as extended on January 1, 2014. The Purchase Price, as defined in the SPA, was $500,000 ($302,398.53 of principal and $197,601.47 of accrued interest). A copy of the SPA is attached to that Current Report as an Exhibit, and incorporated herein by reference. We also issued an additional aggregate total of 350,000 shares of our common stock comprised of restricted securities for services rendered to our legal counsel and our accountant, 250,000 shares and 100,000 shares, respectively. We relied on the exemptions from registration with the SEC under the Securities Act contained in Regulation S of the SEC and Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and SEC Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder for the offer and sale of shares of our common stock to Capital Vario; and Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and SEC Rule 506(b) for the issuance of the additional 350,000 shares of our common stock. There were no underwriters involved in the issuance of the shares, and there were no underwriting discounts or commissions paid in connection with the issuance of the shares.
(b)
As reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 7, 2017, and filed with the SEC on December 8, 2017, the Company acquired all 10,000,000 of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of TORtec Group, a Wyoming corporation, pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement dated November 22, 2017 (the Agreement) making TORtec Group a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As consideration for the acquisition, the 17 holders of the issued and outstanding common stock of TORtec each received nine (9) shares of our common stock for each one (1) share of TORtec common stock issued and outstanding and held by them. This resulted in an aggregate of 90,000,000 shares of our common stock being issued to the holders of TORtec common stock on the December 4, 2017 closing date, in exchange for which the holders of TORtec common stock transferred ownership of all 10,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of TORtec common stock to the Company. The names of the shareholders and share amounts issued to each are described in the Agreement, a copy of which is attached to a Current Report on Form 8-K (as Exhibit 2.1) filed by the Company on November 29, 2017, and incorporated herein by this reference. The 90,000,000 shares of our common stock issued to the shareholders of TORtec were issued in reliance on one or more exemptions from securities registration. Each shareholder to whom shares were issued represented to the Company that the shares of the Company being acquired were being acquired for its own account and for investment purposes and not with a view to the public resale or distribution of such shares and each stockholder has further acknowledged that the shares issued were not registered under the Securities Act and are "restricted securities" as that term is defined in SEC Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The shares were issued in reliance on the exemption provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, SEC Rule 506 or SEC Regulation S, and any stock certificates representing those shares of the Company contain an appropriate restricted legend. There were no underwriters involved in the issuance of the shares, and there were no underwriting discounts or commissions paid in connection with the issuance of the shares.
There were no sales of unregistered securities made by us during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2017.
Use of Proceeds of Registered Securities
There were no proceeds received by us during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2019, or 2018, from the sale of registered securities.
17
Purchases of Equity Securities by Us and Affiliated Purchasers
There were no purchases of our equity securities by us during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2019, or 2018.

Persons reviewing this Annual Report are cautioned that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties and actual results may differ materially from those included within the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.

Many of the factors that will determine these results and values are beyond our ability to control or predict. We may be required to update these forward-looking statements from time to time as circumstances change; however, we undertake no duty to do so.
Plan of Operation
We discontinued our business operations comprising the Engineering and Environmental Divisions operations in February 2018 when our former CEO died.
We now intend to focus our efforts on the TOR-technology business described in ITEM 1. BUSINESS above.
Results of Operations
Year Ended March 31, 2019, Compared to Year Ended March 31, 2018
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, we terminated our environmental remediation business and commenced our TORtec technology business. As a result we had a loss from discontinued operations of $82,580 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 for which there was none in the current fiscal year. Because of the discontinued operations, we reported no sales in either fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 or 2018.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, we incurred $60,332 in research and development costs related to the development of our Tornado C. No amounts were incurred during fiscal 2018 as the machinery for which such research was for hadnt been received.
General and administrative expenses during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, were $137,224, compared to $114,328, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, an increase of $22,896. The increase in general and administrative expenses was related to an increase in professional fees related to filing requirements in connection with the acquisition of TORtec Group.
We incurred an expense of $4,689,275 associated with the fair value of shares issued in connection with TORtec Group assets in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, and no similar expense in the current fiscal year.
We had a gain on extinguishment of liabilities of $16,070 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, and no similar gain in the current fiscal year. We had a gain on collection of reserved note receivable of $20,000 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, and no similar gain in the current fiscal year.
18
We had other expenses, which primarily consisted of interest expense of $120 in fiscal 2019 and $26,682 in fiscal 2018, a decrease of $26,562, primarily related to the decrease in the balance owed to a related entity due to the amounts being converted into common stock in fiscal 2018.
In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 we experienced a net loss of $197,676, or approximately $0.00 per share, compared to a net loss of $4,876,795, or approximately $0.07 per share, in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The decrease in net loss in the later period is largely due to the expense associated with the fair value of shares issued in connection with TORtec Group assets and also the loss associated with the discontinued operations in fiscal 2018.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Current assets at March 31, 2019, included $4,477 in cash, a decrease of $25,907 from total current assets of $31,684 at March 31, 2018.
At March 31, 2019, we had a negative working capital of $364,211, as compared to negative working capital of $28,759 at March 31, 2018.
Capital Resources
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, operating activities used cash of $173,422, as compared to $157,164 in net cash used for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, investing activities used cash of $137,775, as compared to $93,910 cash provided by investing activities during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. In 2019, the amount used was related to additional capital assets purchased for the development of our Tornado. In 2018, we received cash from reserved note receivable of $20,000 and $72,910 cash received in the TORtec acquisition. We also received $1,000 in other assets.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, financing activities provided cash of $283,990, as compared to $55,639 in cash provided for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. In fiscal year 2019, we received $283,990 from a related entity for which the proceeds were used for the purchase of additional equipment and for operations. Financing activities consisted of $21,000 in proceeds from short term advances related parties and $34,639 in an increase in the line of credit in fiscal year 2018.
We intend to fund future operations for the next 12 months through cash flows generated from operations, current cash on hand and the proceeds from advances from a related entity. If these cash flows are not sufficient to fund operations, we may be required to raise capital through either a debt or equity financing. These contributions are expected to satisfy amounts in accounts payable and potentially be used for operations. Currently, we cannot provide assurance that such financing will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. If, after utilizing the existing sources of capital available to us, further capital needs are identified and if we are not successful in obtaining the required financing, we may be forced to curtail our existing or planned future operations. We believe our plans will enable us to continue our current operations for a period in excess of one year from the date of our most recent balance sheet.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had no off-balance sheet arrangements for the two fiscal years ended March 31, 2019, and 2018.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the shareholders and the board of directors of TORtec Group Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TORtec Group Corporation (the Company) as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, 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 March 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Substantial Doubt about the Companys Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors 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 2. 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 audits. 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 audits 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 audits 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 Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits 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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

TORTEC GROUP CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2019 and 2018
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
On June 13, 2012, the Board of Directors of Geo Point Technologies, Inc., a Utah corporation (Geo Point Utah), approved a stock dividend that resulted in a spin-off (Spin-Off) of TORtec Group Corporation (formerly Geo Point Resources, Inc.) (the "Company") common stock to the Geo Point Utah stockholders, pro rata, on the record date (the Record Date). Prior to the Spin-Off, the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Geo Point Utah. The Company was incorporated on June 13, 2012, comprising all of Geo Point Utahs Environmental and Engineering Divisions assets, business, operations, rights or otherwise, along with its Hydrocarbon Identification Technology License Agreement with William C. Lachmar dated January 31, 2008. The Spin-Off had a Record Date of January 17, 2013; an ex-dividend date of January 15, 2013; and a Spin-Off payment date of April 22, 2013.
On November 22, 2017, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the Agreement). The transaction closed on December 4, 2017, with TORtec Group, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (TORtec) and all of the shareholders of TORtec, pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of TORtec. Under the terms of the Agreement, a total of 90,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock were issued to the TORtec shareholders as consideration in exchange for all 10,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of TORtec common stock being transferred to the Company, making TORtec a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result, the TORtec shareholders collectively own ninety percent (90.0%) of our issued and outstanding shares of our common stock immediately following the acquisition. Effective November 16, 2018, the Company changed its name from Geo Point Resources, Inc. to TORtec Group Corporation.
Stephen Smoot was a former consultant and officer of Capital Vario CR S.A. ("Capital Vario"), which was the controlling shareholder of the Company prior to the acquisition, but resigned from his affiliation with Capital Vario prior to a $500,000 debt-to-equity conversion by Capital Vario with the Company. Stephen Smoot became the President/CEO and Director of TORtec Group on September 8, 2017. At the date of acquisition, TORtec's assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair market value, which was consistent with the carrying value of those assets. The consideration in excess of the net assets was expensed as an additional cost of the acquisition. At the time of acquisition, TORtec had recently been incorporated and didn't have significant operations for which would constitute a business. Thus, the Company treated the transaction similar to an asset purchase with no goodwill being recorded in connection with the transaction. In addition, the historical financials will represent those of the Company's and the operations of TORtec will be included from December 4, 2017 forward. No goodwill was recorded in connection with the transactions. In addition, pro-forma consolidated financial statements haven't been provided due to the limited operations of TORtec. The Company acquired TORtec to expand its operations and felt it was a good compliment to the entering services currently provided.
In connection with the transaction, the Company valued the 90,000,000 shares of common stock provided to the TORTec shareholders at $5,203,643. This value was based upon the conversion rate of $0.0578 which was used to convert the Capital Vario line of credit into shares of the Company's common stock. In addition, $25,000 was provided to the Company prior to the date of acquisition. The transaction was a recapitalization of the Company through a share exchange for which the consideration provided was recorded at fair market value. The following is a summary of the carrying value of TORtec's asset and liabilities as of December 4, 2017 and the additional amount of consideration recorded:

TORtec Group, Inc.
On September 9, 2017, TORtec entered into General Agreement No. US-17 on cooperation and joint activities on commercialization of TOR-technologies, introduction of new productions, products and services in the markets of North, Central and South America (the Exclusive License Agreement) with the parties that invented the TOR-technology. The Exclusive License Agreement grants to TORtec an exclusive license to utilize the technology for certain purposes throughout North, Central and South America.
The TOR-technology equipment is best described as a cascaded adiabatic resonance vortex mill utilizing compressed air as the energy in the system. This proprietary technology includes the ability to size and classify material processed by elemental composition and specific gravity.
In some cases, the quality and composition of the materials and liquids processed are new. This TOR-technology has the potential to influence the efficiency and quality of the micro-pulverization industry for re-mineralizing soil, conserve energy, cleanup and extract value from mining waste piles and to create new bio-products and metal-ceramic composites.
On June 18, 2018, TORtec Group entered into License Agreement No. W-1/18 with Forschunginstitut GmbH pursuant to which it was granted a license to use the TOR technology and the utility model Tornado documentation for certain purposes, for which TORtec Group shall pay an initial royalty of 30,000 Euros, and an annual royalty equal to 10% of any after tax profit received by TORtec Group (and any subsidiaries) by the years result.
Discontinued Operations
In February 2018, due to the untimely death of Bill Lachmar, Geo Point Resources, Inc.'s president, the Company ceased the operations of the Environmental and Engineering Divisions. The Company has reflected these operations as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The following is a summary of discontinued operations included within the consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2019 and 2018.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As reflected in the financial statements, the Company has incurred significant current period losses, negative cash flows from operating activities, has negative working capital and an accumulated deficit. The Company has relied upon advances from related parties and other loans to fund its operations. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans regarding these matters, if needed, include raising additional debt or equity financing. The terms of which might not be acceptable to the Company. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary TORtec Group. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. TORtec's operations have been included from its date of acquisition, see Note 1 for additional information.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes to financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management include allowance for doubtful accounts and the useful life of property and equipment.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company complies with the accounting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820-10, Fair Value Measurements, as well as certain related FASB staff positions. This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to
29
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact business and considers assumptions that marketplace participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance.
The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy for measurements of fair value as follows:
·
Level 1 - quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
·
Level 2 - inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
·
Level 3 - unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have Level 1, 2, or 3 financial assets or liabilities. Financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, payables, and a line of credit. The fair value of financial instruments approximated their carrying values as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, due to the short-term nature of these items.
Concentration of Credit Risks and Customer Concentrations
During the year ended March 31, 2018, services provided to two customers, accounted for 66.3% (related party) and 28.4% of total revenues, respectively. One of these customers is considered a related party; see Note 8. In addition, as discussed in Note 1, the Company discontinued the operations of Geo Point Resources, Inc. Management believes the loss of these customers had a material impact on the Company.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash and cash equivalents. At March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any cash deposits in excess of FDIC limits.
Allowances for Doubtful Accounts
The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Companys customers to make required payments. The Company considers the following factors when determining if collection of a fee is reasonably assured: customer creditworthiness and past transaction history with the customer. If the Company has no previous experience with the customer, the Company typically requests retainers or obtains financial information sufficient to extend the credit. If these factors do not indicate collection is reasonably assured, revenue is deferred until collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of cash. If the financial condition of the Companys customers deteriorates, additional allowances are made.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Major additions and improvements are capitalized, while minor equipment as well as repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Computers, other office equipment, and furniture are depreciated over a period of three years. Vehicles are depreciated over five years.
On retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations.
30
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amount of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any asset may not be fully recoverable. If circumstances require that a long-lived asset be tested for possible impairment, the Company compares the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds its fair value based on a discounted cash flow analysis. As of March 31, 2019, and 2018, impairments are not present. See Note 3, for discussion of loss on disposal of property and equipment.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when the earnings process is complete. This generally occurs as services are performed, see below for a description of former services. On April 1, 2018, the Company determined that the adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) had no material impact to the Companys consolidated financial statements.
The Companys primary source of revenue had been in its environmental division, providing historical site data searches, preliminary investigation and drilling, site characterization modeling, regulatory agency liaison, and full environmental clean-ups using such methods as vapor extraction, air sparging, bio-remediation, ORC (Oxygen Release Compound) and HRC (Hydrogen Release Compound) injection treatment, air stripping, and ionic exchange. Revenues from these services were recognized after services have been performed. See Note 1 for discussion regarding the discontinuance of the Company's Environmental and Engineering Divisions.
Cost of Sales
Included within cost of sales are materials and costs of services directly related to revenues generated.
Research and Development
Research and development is primarily related to developing and improving the Companys Tornado C product. Research and development expenses are expensed when incurred.
Income Taxes
The asset and liability approach is used to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Tax law and rate changes are reflected in income in the period such changes are enacted. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company includes interest and penalties related to income taxes, including unrecognized tax benefits, within the provision for income taxes. The Company believes it has appropriate support for the income tax positions taken and to be taken on future income tax returns.
Basic and Diluted (Income) Loss per Common Share
Basic income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per common share reflects the potential dilution to basic earnings per share that could occur upon conversion or exercise of securities, options, or other such items to common shares using the treasury stock method, based upon the weighted average fair value of the Companys common shares during the period. As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any dilutive securities.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which does not change the core principles of ASU No. 2014-09 discussed below, but rather clarifies the implementation guidance in order to eliminate the potential for diversity in practice arising from inconsistent application of the principal versus agent guidance. Under the new guidance, when an entity determines it is a principal in a transaction, the entity recognizes revenue in the gross amount of consideration; however, in transactions where an entity determines it is an agent, the entity recognizes revenue in the amount of any fee or commission to which it expects to be entitled. The standard is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted the new standard effective April 1, 2018 for which the adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows as there are currently no revenue generating activities.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 840), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments in this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, for a public entity. Early adoption of the amendments in this standard is permitted for all entities and the Company must recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company does not expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures due to the absence of qualifying leases.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, CompensationStock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The guidance expands the scope of the topic to include share-based payments granted to non-employees in exchange for goods or services. Upon adoption, the fair value of awards granted to non-employees will be determined as of the grant date, which will be recognized over the service period. Previous guidance required the awards to be remeasured at fair value periodically when determining the related expense. ASU 2018-07 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entitys adoption date of Topic 606. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Updates (ASUs) to amend the authoritative literature in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). There have been a number of ASUs to date that amend the original text of ASC. The Company believes those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to the Company or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's operations.

Property and equipment consists of the Company's Tornado M which was received during the nine months ended December 31, 2018. The Company is currently making additional expenditures in order for the Tornado M to be put into production. Thus, as of March 31, 2019, the Tornado M is considered construction in progress for which depreciation hasn't commenced. The Company expects to depreciate costs related to the Tornado M over the period of ten years. See Note 1 for additional information.
Depreciation expense for the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, was $0 and $11,527, respectively. The Company recorded a loss of $51,102 in connection with disposing of equipment related to the operations of the Environmental and Engineering Divisions as discussed in Note 1.
NOTE 4 LINE OF CREDIT AND SHORT TERM ADVANCES
On January 1, 2013, the Company entered into a $100,000 revolving line of credit with an unrelated third party. Under the terms of the agreement the outstanding principal incurs interest at 24% per annum with principal and interest due nine months from the date of the agreement or July 1, 2013. The revolving line of credit is unsecured and currently in default; however, no demands for repayment have been made. Subsequent to the agreement date, the third party has continued to advance additional funds as needed under the same terms of the initial revolving line of credit. Proceeds from the revolving line of credit were used for operations. On August 24, 2017, the Company and the holder of the revolving line of credit agreed to convert the outstanding principal of $302,399 and accrued interest of $197,601 into 8,647,796 shares of common stock. The Company determined that the per share amount of $0.0578 was most representative of the fair market value. This determination was based upon the fact that although the Companys common stock is publically traded there has not been an active public trade of the Companys common stock in a significant period of time, indicating no market for the Companys common stock. In addition, the number of shares issued was negotiated between the Company and the third party.
During the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company received short term advances of $21,000 from two shareholders of the Company. The advances do not incur interest and are due on demand.
During the year ended March 31, 2017, two individuals advanced the Company a total of $40,000. The advances do not incur interest and are due on demand. The proceeds were used to purchase drilling equipment, which was used on one of the Companys projects. in November 2017, both advances were forgiven and are no longer due. One of the individuals, had recently become a shareholder of TORtec through services provided to that entity. Thus, the $20,000 advance forgiven by this individual was treated as a capital contribution and recorded within additional paid-in capital. The other individual is a vendor of the Company and was recorded within gain on extinguishment.
In addition, the Company assumed a $20,000 advance from Capital Vario, a shareholder of the Company, in connection with the acquisition of TORtec, see Note 1. During the year ended March 31, 2019, Capital Vario has advanced the Company an additional $283,990 for a total of $324,990 due at March 31, 2019. The advances do not incur interest and are due on demand. The advances have been reflected as "short term advances - related parties" on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Included in these advances was the repayment of a $50,000 short
33
term advance from a relative of the Company's CEO which was received and repaid during the three months ended December 31, 2018. The advance was due on demand and incurred 10% interest per annum. Subsequent to March 31, 2019, Capital Vario has advanced an additional $66,100.
NOTE 5 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company does not have any pending or threatened litigation.
NOTE 6 - SHAREHOLDERS DEFICIT
Preferred Stock
Under the Companys articles of incorporation, the board of directors is authorized, without stockholder action, to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the number of shares and rights, preferences, and limitations of each series. Among the specific matters that may be determined by the board of directors are the dividend rate, the redemption price, if any, conversion rights, if any, the amount payable in the event of any voluntary liquidation or dissolution, and voting rights, if any. If the Company offers preferred stock, the specific designations and rights will be described in amended articles of incorporation.
Common Stock
On August 24, 2017, the Company issued 250,000 shares to a third party for legal services rendered. The Company valued the shares at $14,455, based upon the conversion rate of the line of credit discussed above. The fair value was immediately expensed to general and administrative expense as the performance commitment was complete.
On August 24, 2017, the Company also issued 100,000 shares of common stock to a third party in settlement of $21,852 in amounts due in connection with accounting services. The Company valued these shares at $5,782, based upon the conversion rate of the line of credit discussed above. The difference between the fair market value of the shares and the amount forgiven of $16,070 was recorded as a gain on extinguishment of liabilities on the accompanying statement of operations.
Effective November 14, 2018, the Company increased its authorized common shares to 200,000,000.
See Note 1 for disclosure of additional shares and Note 4 for an additional equity transaction.
NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES
For the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company has incurred net losses before and, therefore, has no tax liability. The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carry-forward has been fully reserved. The cumulative net operating loss carry-forward is approximately $734,000 and $536,000 at March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and will expire beginning in the year 2034. The primary difference between the Companys statutory and effective tax rate relates to non-deductible stock based compensation charges and a full valuation allowance being recorded.
Deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2019 and 2018 consisted of tax effected net operating losses of $219,074 and $160,087, respectively. During the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the valuation allowance increased by $58,987 and $8,358, respectively. The approximate reduction of the tax effected net operating losses due to the change in the corporate income tax rates was approximately $22,000 during the year ended March 31, 2018.
The Company has identified the United States Federal tax returns as its major tax jurisdiction. The United States Federal return years 2014 through 2018 are still subject to tax examination by the United States Internal Revenue Service; however, we do not currently have any ongoing tax examinations. The Company is subject to examination by the California Franchise Tax Board for the years ended 2015 through 2018 and currently does not have any ongoing tax examinations.
On December 22, 2017, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Tax Act) was enacted into law and the new legislation contains several key tax provisions that affected us, including a one-time mandatory transition tax on accumulated
34
foreign earnings and a reduction of the corporate income tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018, among others. We are required to recognize the effect of the tax law changes in the period of enactment, such as determining the transition tax, remeasuring our U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities as well as reassessing the net realizability of our deferred tax assets and liabilities. In December 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (SAB 118), which allows us to record provisional amounts during a measurement period not to extend beyond one year of the enactment date. Since the Tax Act was passed late in the fourth quarter of 2017, and ongoing guidance and accounting interpretation are expected over the next 12 months, we consider the accounting of the transition tax, deferred tax re-measurements, and other items to be incomplete due to the forthcoming guidance and our ongoing analysis of final year-end data and tax positions. We expect to complete our analysis within the measurement period in accordance with SAB 118.
NOTE 8 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded revenues of $43,510 for services performed for two entities partially owned by the Companys former Chief Executive Officer. The Company performed engineering services for the related entities and billed its services based upon time and expenses incurred. The Companys management maintained that the fees charged to the related party are no less favorable than would be charged to unrelated parties for similar services. In addition, during the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company paid $9,600 to one of these related entities in connection with testing services. The revenues and expense are included within discontinued operations.
On September 9, 2017 TORtec entered into an agreement with MTM Center GmbH, a former shareholder of TORtec, a member of the board of directors and a significant shareholder of the Company, for the construction of equipment utilizing the TORtec technology, referred to as the Tornado M. The total purchase price is 394,000 Euros for which the Company has paid in full at $474,978. The Company received the equipment in second quarter of fiscal 2019. The Tornado M will be used in the Company's operations.

NOTE 9 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On May 22, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with TORtec Central Asia, a Wyoming corporation, and the sole shareholder of TORtec Central Asia pursuant to which the Company has agreed to acquire 100% ownership of the outstanding shares of TORtec Central Asia stock in exchange for issuing 2,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock to Merdan Atayev who is the sole shareholder of TORtec Central Asia.

ITEM 9: CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
None.
ITEM 9A: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and our CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the Annual Report were not effective and that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and our CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
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 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 in accordance with 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, with the participation of our CEO and our CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2019. In making this assessment, 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, with the participation of the CEO and CFO, concluded that, as of March 31, 2019, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective.
During the year ended March 31, 2019, the CEO determined that Management's assessment of the effectiveness of the registrant's internal control over financial reporting is as of the year ended March 31, 2019. The Company believes that internal control over financial reporting is not effective. We have identified the following current material weakness considering the nature and extent of our current operations and any risks or errors in financial reporting under current operations:
·
Lack of Management review as the Company has one employee that enters into, reviews, and controls all transactions. The individual is also responsible for financial and regulatory reporting.
We cannot remedy the weakness until additional employee(s) and/or consultants can be retained to adequately segregate duties. Until such time, Management is maintaining adequate records to substantiate transactions.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding our internal controls over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only managements report in this Annual Report.
36
No Attestation Report by Independent Registered Accountant
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2019 has not been audited by our independent registered public accounting firm by virtue of our exemption from such requirement as a smaller reporting company.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting except as noted.

ITEM 13: CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTORS INDEPENDENCE
Transactions with Related Persons
Except as described below, there were no material transactions, or series of similar transactions, during our last two fiscal years, or any currently proposed transactions, or series of similar transactions, to which we or any of our subsidiaries was or is to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeded the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years and in which any director, executive officer or any security holder who is known to us to own of record or beneficially more than 5% of any class of our common stock, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, had an interest.
During the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded revenues of $43,510 for services performed for two entities partially owned by the Companys former Chief Executive Officer, respectively. The Company performed engineering services for the related entities and billed its services based upon time and expenses incurred. The Companys management maintained that the fees charged to the related party are no less favorable than would be charged to unrelated parties for similar services. In addition, during the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company paid $9,600 to one of these related entities in connection with testing services. The revenues and expense are included within discontinued operations.
On September 9, 2017 TORtec entered into an agreement with MTM Center GmbH, a former shareholder of TORtec, a member of the board of directors and a significant shareholder of the Company, for the construction of equipment utilizing the TORtec technology, referred to as the Tornado M. The total purchase price is 394,000 Euros for which the Company has paid in full at $474,978. The Company received the equipment in second quarter of fiscal 2019. The Tornado M will be used in the Company's operations.
During the year ended March 31, 2017, two individuals advanced the Company a total of $40,000. The advances do not incur interest and are due on demand. The proceeds were used to purchase drilling equipment, which was used on one of the Companys projects. In November 2017, both advances were forgiven and are no longer due. One of the individuals, had recently become a shareholder of TORtec through services provided to that entity. Thus, the $20,000 advance forgiven by this individual was treated as a capital contribution and recorded within additional paid-in capital. The other individual is a vendor of the Company and was recorded within gain on extinguishment.
During the year ended March 31, 2018, the Company received short term advances of $21,000 from two shareholders of the Company. The advances do not incur interest and are due on demand. In addition, the Company assumed a $20,000 advance from Capital Vario, a shareholder of the Company, in connection with the acquisition of TORtec. During the year ended March 31, 2019, Capital Vario has advanced the Company an additional $283,990 for a total of $324,990 due at March 31, 2019. The advances do not incur interest and are due on demand. The advances have been reflected as "short term advances - related parties" on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet Included in these advances was the repayment of a $50,000 short term advance from a relative of the Company's CEO which was received and repaid during the three months ended December 31, 2018. The advance was due on demand and incurred 10% interest per annum. Subsequent to March 31, 2019, Capital Vario has advanced an additional $66,100.
On November 22, 2017, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the Agreement), which closed on December 4, 2017, with TORtec Group, a Wyoming corporation (TORtec) and all of the shareholders of TORtec, pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of TORtec. Under the terms of the Agreement, a total of 90,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock were issued to the TORtec shareholders as consideration in exchange for all 10,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of TORtec common stock being transferred to the Company, making TORtec a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result, the TORtec shareholders collectively owned ninety percent (90.0%) of our issued and outstanding shares of our common stock immediately following the acquisition.
Stephen Smoot was a former consultant and officer of Capital Vario CR S.A. ("Capital Vario"), which was the controlling shareholder of the Company prior to the acquisition, but resigned from his affiliation with Capital Vario prior to a $500,000 debt-to-equity conversion by Capital Vario with the Company. Stephen Smoot became the
46
President/CEO and Director of TORtec Group on September 8, 2017. Jeffrey R. Brimhall, son-in-law of Stephen H. Smoot, served as the Companys Secretary until the closing of the TORtec Group acquisition on December 4, 2017, at which time he resigned the Secretary position and was appointed to the Companys Board of Directors.
On September 9, 2017, TORtec Group entered into General Agreement No. US-17 on cooperation and joint activities on commercialization of TOR-technologies, introduction of new productions, products and services in the markets of North, Central and South America (the Exclusive License Agreement) with the parties that invented the TOR-technology. The Exclusive License Agreement grants to TORtec an exclusive license to utilize the technology for certain purposes throughout North, Central and South America.
On May 22, 2019, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with TORtec Central Asia, a Wyoming corporation, and the sole shareholder of TORtec Central Asia pursuant to which the Company has agreed to acquire 100% ownership of the outstanding shares of TORtec Central Asia stock in exchange for issuing 2,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock to the sole shareholder of TORtec Central Asia, Mr. Merdan Atayev. Mr. Atayev is the President, sole director and sole shareholder of TORtec Central Asia, a newly formed Wyoming corporation. The Share Exchange Agreement is subject to certain terms and conditions, including the transfer of: (a) a 99 year Lease Agreement to a new office and warehouse facility in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan (Target Land); and (b) any furniture, tools, machinery and equipment for maintenance and lifting located at the facility (Target Assets). TORtec Central Asia must first have acquired leasehold ownership to the Target Land based on a ninety-nine year lease from the government of Turkmenistan, free and clear from all mortgages, trust deeds, liens or other encumbrances, and TORtec Central Asia shall have acquired undisputed ownership of the Target Assets free and clear from all security interests, liens or other encumbrances. Although the Share Exchange Agreement was not a related party transaction at the time it was entered into, Merdan Atayev has since been appointed as a Vice President of the Company which is a condition to the Closing of the proposed acquisition. The transaction has not yet closed.
