Forward Looking Statements
This Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements including statements regarding our expectations of our future operations. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Form 10-K that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, words such as may, will, expect, believe, anticipate, estimate, or continue or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, many of which are not within our control.
These risks and uncertainties include demand for our products and services, governmental regulation of the cannabis industry, our ability to maintain customer and strategic business relationships, the impact of competitive products and pricing, growth in targeted markets, the adequacy of our liquidity and financial strength to support our growth, general economic and market conditions; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth, our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions, new product development and introduction, existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations, adverse publicity, difficulty in forecasting operating results, change in business strategy or development plans, business disruptions, and the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. Although the forward-looking statements in this report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. In light of these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to announce publicly revisions we make to these forward-looking statements to reflect the effect of events or circumstances that may arise after the date of this report. All written and oral forward-looking statements made subsequent to the date of this report and attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this section.
Overview
We were incorporated in Nevada on September 10, 2013, as Betafox Corp., for the purpose of engaging in the business of manufacturing and selling candles. On May 11 2015, our principal stockholder at that time sold six million shares of our common stock, constituting approximately 73.8% of our issued and outstanding common shares at such time, to Future Continental Limited. In October 2015, Future Continental Limited sold those shares to Mr. Lei Pei, an affiliate of Future Continental Limited, in consideration of Mr. Peis agreement to serve as our director and CEO. On January 8, 2018, we changed our name to Wewards, Inc. Our corporate office is located in Las Vegas, Nevada.
We have developed and are the owner of a web-based platform accessible by mobile apps (the Platform) that will enable consumers to purchase goods from merchants and earn rebates payable in the form of Bitcoin. The Platform provides an innovative Bitcoin rewards ecosystem. It is designed to transform traditional concepts of commerce into a cooperative society where both merchants and consumers are collaborating, utilizing Bitcoin to reward consumers. The ecosystem provides consumers with rewards each time they complete a challenge defined by a merchant. This is intended to make the ecommerce process beneficial to all market participants, and to help distribute commercial wealth among and between the merchants and consumers.
We intend to generate revenue by licensing white-label versions of the Platform to third parties. However, to date, no such license agreement has been entered into, and we have not generated any revenues from the Platform.
On April 2, 2020, we purchased intellectual property rights (IP) from United Power, a Nevada corporation under common ownership with Lei Pei, our sole officer and director and majority shareholder, for cash consideration of $179,300, based on a price determined by an independent valuation.
The IP consists of technology and related rights associated with the game Megopoly, an MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online Game). Megopoly is an MMO board game where players are able to earn fractions of Bitcoins (satoshi) through buying, selling, and managing virtual real estate properties using in-game currency (Megopoly Coins). The game is similar in some respects to Monopoly.
The game allows players around the world to interact with each other online. Players travel (move) through different parts of a city, earning profit by investing in properties, charging rent, acquiring bonus assets, and selling their properties to other players for in-game currency. A player is able to progress to higher levels of cities at any time.
1
The players goal in Megopoly is to earn Megopoly Coins by investing in properties and collecting rent from other players. Players can keep playing the game using their Megopoly Coins for the opportunity to earn more coins, or they can exchange those coins for Bitcoins based on real-time market exchange rates.
Megopoly is playable at any time through a web browser on a PC, tablet or smart phone, in both Chinese and English. The game has been designed for players of all skill levels.
We began generating revenues in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended May 31, 2020 from licensing Megopoly and related IP to Sandbx Corp., a separate company owned by the Chief Operating Officer of United Power and FL Galaxy.
Employees
We currently have no full-time employees, other than our sole officer and director Mr. Lei Pei, who receives no salary.
Research and Development Expenditures
We intend to continue to make investments in research and development and product development in seeking to sustain and improve our competitive position and meet our customers needs.
Government Regulation
Because of the current regulatory uncertainties surrounding the Platform, we do not intend to operate the Platform in the United States unless and until we are satisfied that our operations will not be in violation of any statutes or regulations. At this time, we are unable to determine what governmental agencies, if any, will have jurisdiction over the Platform, or what effect, if any, those government regulations will have on the Platform. Currently, all of our operations consist of outsourced licensing arrangements.
Patents and Trademarks
We do not own any patents or trademarks.
Corporate Information
Our principal executive offices are located at 2960 West Sahara Avenue, Las Vegas, Nevada 89102. Our telephone number is (702) 944-5599, and our website is http://www.wewards.io.

Our principal executive offices consist of 8,015 square feet of office space located at 2960 West Sahara Avenue, Las Vegas, NV 89102. The owner of the building is Future Property Limited, which leases the building to United Power, Inc. (United Power), and United Power is owned by our CEO and principal stockholder, Lei Pei. We sublease these offices from United Power.
The term of our sublease expires on March 8, 2023, and provides for a base monthly rent of $15,000, with increases of up to 3% each year based on increases, if any, of the Consumer Price Index. We have been informed by an independent real estate broker that the rent being charged by United is consistent with rents being charged by other landlords for commercial space in the area where the building is located.
Our anticipated future lease commitments on a fiscal year basis are as follows:

We believe that our current facilities are adequate for our current needs. We intend to secure new facilities or expand existing facilities as necessary to support future growth. We believe that suitable additional space will be available on commercially reasonable terms as needed to accommodate our operations.
There are no material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or to which any of our property is subject, nor are there any such proceedings known to be contemplated by governmental authorities. None of our directors, officers or affiliates is involved in a proceeding adverse to our business or has a material interest adverse to our business.

As of August 27, 2020, there were approximately 75 shareholders of record of our common stock. Such number does not include any shareholders holding shares in nominee or street name. As of August 27, 2020, there were 107,483,450 shares of common stock outstanding on record.
Dividends
We have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock since our inception and do not anticipate paying dividends for the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends is subject to the discretion of our board of directors and depends, among other things, upon our earnings, our capital requirements, our financial condition, and other relevant factors. We intend to reinvest any earnings in the development and expansion of our business. Any cash dividends in the future to common shareholders will be payable when, as and if declared by our board of directors, based upon the boards assessment of our financial condition and performance, earnings, need for funds, capital requirements, prior claims of preferred stock to the extent issued and outstanding, and other factors, including income tax consequences, restrictions and applicable laws. There can be no assurance, therefore, that any dividends on our common stock will ever be paid.
Equity Compensation Plan Information
We currently do not have any equity compensation plans.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the operating results, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2020 and 2019. The discussion and analysis that follows should be read together with the section entitled Forward Looking Statements and our consolidated financial statements and the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K.
Except for historical information, the matters discussed in this section are forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and are based upon judgments concerning various factors that are beyond the Companys control. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report.
Overview
Wewards, Inc. (Wewards or the Company) was incorporated in Nevada on September 10, 2013, as Betafox Corp. On January 8, 2018, we changed our name to Wewards, Inc.
We have developed and are the owner of a web-based platform accessible by mobile apps (the Platform) that will enable consumers to purchase goods from merchants and earn rebates payable in the form of Bitcoin. The Platform provides an innovative Bitcoin rewards ecosystem. It is designed to transform traditional concepts of commerce into a cooperative society where both merchants and consumers are collaborating, utilizing Bitcoin to reward consumers. The ecosystem provides consumers with rewards each time they complete a challenge defined by a merchant. This is intended to make the ecommerce process beneficial to all market participants, and to help distribute commercial wealth among and between the merchants and consumers. We intend to generate revenue by licensing white-label versions of the Platform to third parties. However, to date, no such license agreement has been entered into, and we have not generated any revenues from the Platform.
On April 2, 2020, we purchased intellectual property rights (IP) from United Power, a Nevada corporation under common ownership with Lei Pei, our sole officer and director and majority shareholder, for cash consideration of $179,300, based on a price determined by an independent valuation.

We began generating revenues in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended May 31, 2020 from licensing Megopoly and related IP to Sandbx Corp., a separate company owned by the Chief Operating Officer of United Power and FL Galaxy. Pursuant to our license agreement with Sandbx Corp., we are entitled to a $50,000 initial setup fee, payable in five equal monthly installments from May 1, 2020 through September 1, 2020, and a monthly royalty of 10% of net revenues from the sale of in-game assets by the licensee, or $5,000, whichever is greater, commencing upon completion of the initial setup, but no later than January 31, 2021. The initial term of the licensing agreement is through April 19, 2021, with automatic monthly renewals, unless terminated by either party via sixty (60) days written notice of non-renewal.

Critical Accounting Policies
The establishment and consistent application of accounting policies is a vital component of accurately and fairly presenting our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), as well as ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations governing financial reporting. While there are rarely alternative methods or rules from which to select in establishing accounting and financial reporting policies, proper application often involves significant judgment regarding a given set of facts and circumstances and a complex series of decisions.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000 under current regulations. The Company had approximately $3,768,042 and $4,258,497 in excess of FDIC insured limits at May 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Reclassifications
In the current period, the Company separately classified professional fees from general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Statement of Operations. For comparative purposes, amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations.
Revenue Recognition
Effective June 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the licensing of our software by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. For the comparative periods, revenue has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 Revenue Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue was recognized when the following criteria had been met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the collectability of the fee is reasonably assured.
There was no impact on the Companys financial statements from the adoption of ASC 606 for the years ended May 31, 2020 or 2019.
We derive revenue principally from licensing our intellectual property, including our game, and related extra content and services that can be utilized by players of our game. Our product and service offerings include, but are not limited to, licensing to third parties (software license) to distribute and host our games and content (Online-Hosted Service Games).
We evaluate and recognize revenue by:
·
identifying the contract(s) with the customer;
·
identifying the performance obligations in the contract;
·
determining the transaction price;
·
allocating the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
·
recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied through the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer (i.e., transfer of control).
Online-Hosted Service Games. Sales of our Online-Hosted Service Games are determined to have one distinct performance obligation: the online hosting. We recognize revenue from these arrangements as the service is provided through our licensing agreement(s).
6
Licensing Revenue
We utilize third-party licensees to distribute and host our games and content in accordance with license agreements, for which the licensees typically pay us a fixed minimum guarantee and/or sales-based royalties. These arrangements typically include multiple performance obligations, such as a time-based license of software and future update rights. We recognize as revenue a portion of the minimum guarantee when we transfer control of the license of software (generally upon commercial launch) and the remaining portion ratably over the contractual term in which we provide the licensee with future update rights. Any sales-based royalties are generally recognized as the related sales occur by the licensee.
Significant Judgments around Revenue Arrangements
Identifying performance obligations. Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods and services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, (i.e., the customer can benefit from the goods or services either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available), and are distinct in the context of the contract (i.e., it is separately identifiable from other goods or services in the contract). To the extent a contract includes multiple promises, we must apply judgment to determine whether those promises are separate and distinct performance obligations. If these criteria are not met, the promises are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.
Determining the transaction price. The transaction price is determined based on the consideration that we will be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring our goods and services to the customer. Determining the transaction price often requires judgment, based on an assessment of contractual terms and business practices. It further includes review of variable consideration such as discounts, sales returns, price protection, and rebates, which is estimated at the time of the transaction. In addition, the transaction price does not include an estimate of the variable consideration related to sales-based royalties. Sales-based royalties are recognized as the sales occur.
Allocating the transaction price. Allocating the transaction price requires that we determine an estimate of the relative stand-alone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. Determining the relative stand-alone selling price is inherently subjective, especially in situations where we do not sell the performance obligation on a stand-alone basis (which occurs in the majority of our transactions). In those situations, we determine the relative stand-alone selling price based on various observable inputs using all information that is reasonably available. Examples of observable inputs and information include: historical internal pricing data, cost plus margin analyses, third-party external pricing of similar or same products and services such as software licenses and maintenance support within the enterprise software industry. The results of our analysis resulted in a specific percentage of the transaction price being allocated to each performance obligation.
Determining the Estimated Offering Period. The offering period is the period in which we offer to provide the future update rights and/or online hosting for the game. Because the offering period is not an explicitly defined period, we must make an estimate of the offering period for the service-related performance obligations (i.e., future update rights and online hosting). Determining the Estimated Offering Period is inherently subjective and is subject to regular revision. Generally, we consider the specified contract period of our software licenses and therefore, the offering period is estimated to be over the term of the license. We recognize revenue for future update rights and online hosting performance obligations ratably on a straight-line basis over this period as there is a consistent pattern of delivery for these performance obligations.
Software Development Costs
The Company expenses software development costs, including costs to develop software products or the software component of products to be sold, leased, or marketed to external users, before technological feasibility is reached. Technological feasibility is typically reached shortly before the release of such products. Software development costs also include costs to develop software to be used solely to meet internal needs and cloud-based applications used to deliver our services. The Company capitalizes development costs related to these software applications once the preliminary project stage is complete and it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the function intended. Capitalization ends, and amortization begins when the product is available for general release to customers.

Related party rent expense for the year ended May 31, 2020 was $180,000, compared to $180,000 during the year ended May 31, 2019. Related party rent expense consists of office space that is subleased from a company owned by Mr. Lei.
Professional Fees
Professional fees for the year ended May 31, 2020 were $245,666, compared to $392,930 during the year ended May 31, 2019, a decrease of $147,264, or 37%. Professional fees decreased primarily due to cost savings related to transitioning to new compliance professionals and reductions in fees paid to software developers during the current period.
Impairment Loss, Software Development Costs
During the year ended May 31, 2019, we incurred $374,125 of impairment charges on our previously capitalized software development costs.
Research and Development
We had no research and development expenses in the year ended May 31, 2020, compared to expenses of $447,418 during the year ended May 31, 2019 related to the development and administration of the websites to support our mobile app. This expense was not necessary in the current year as the majority of the development of our websites and platforms were completed in the prior year.
8
Operating Loss
Our operating loss for the year ended May 31, 2020 was $427,875, compared to $1,903,089 during the year ended May 31, 2019, a decrease of $1,475,214, or 78%. Our operating loss decreased primarily due to the reduction in fees paid to software developers and research and development during the current period as the development of our software platform neared completion in the prior year.
Other Income (Expense)
Other expense, on a net basis, for the year ended May 31, 2020 was $469,506, compared to other expense, on a net basis, of $481,128 during the year ended May 31, 2019, a decrease of $11,622, or 2%. Other expense consisted of $539,556 of interest expense on related party loans, as offset by $70,050 of interest income for the year ended May 31, 2020. Other expense consisted of $557,742 of interest expense on related party loans, as offset by $76,614 of interest income for the year ended May 31, 2019. Other expense, on a net basis, decreased due to decreased interest expense on related party loans in excess of the diminished interest income on slightly lower cash balances.
Net Loss
Net loss for the year ended May 31, 2020 was $897,381, compared to $2,384,217 during the year ended May 31, 2019, a decrease of $1,486,836, or 62%. The decreased net loss was primarily due to cost savings related to reductions in business development fees, reductions in fees paid to software developers and reductions in research and development during the current period as the development of our software platform neared completion in the prior year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of May 31, 2020, the Company had current assets of $4,017,107, comprising entirely of cash.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. During the year ended May 31, 2020, net cash flows used in operating activities was $311,990. For the year ended May 31, 2019, net cash flows used in operating activities was $1,320,901. The decrease in cash used in operating activities is primarily attributable to our decreased net loss.
9
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
During the year ended May 31, 2020, net cash flows used in investing activities was $179,300. During the year ended May 31, 2019, we did not use any cash in investing activities. The increase is attributable to the purchase of software developed by a related party in the current year.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
During the year ended May 31, 2020, we did not use any cash in financing activities. During the year ended May 31, 2019, net cash used in financing activities was $4,965,000, which reflected the repayment of $5,000,000 of related party loans, offset by a loan of $35,000 from our sole officer, director and principal shareholder.
Satisfaction of our Cash Obligations for the Next 12 Months
As of May 31, 2020, our balance of cash on hand was $4,017,107. We currently have sufficient funds to fund our operations at their current levels for the next twelve months. Since he acquired control over the Company in May 2015, we have been wholly dependent upon our CEO and majority shareholder, Mr. Pei, and his affiliated companies, to provide financing to us when needed, generally in the form of convertible loans. There can be no assurance that Mr. Pei will continue to make additional financing available to us when needed.
We will need additional funds to repay our related party debts should they not be converted to equity. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us. Even if we are able to obtain additional financing (whether from our affiliates or third parties), the terms of such financing may contain undue restrictions on our operations and result in substantial dilution for our stockholders. We cannot guarantee that we will ever become profitable. Even if we achieve profitability, given the competitive and evolving nature of the industry in which we operate, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability, and our failure to do so would adversely affect our business, including our ability to raise additional funds.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no outstanding off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. We do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Wewards, Inc.,
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Wewards, Inc. (the Company) as of May 31, 2020, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended May 31, 2020, 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 May 31, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended May 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial statements of Wewards, Inc., as of May 31, 2019, were audited by other auditors whose report dated September 19, 2019 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Wewards, Inc.,
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Wewards, Inc. (the Company) as of May 31, 2019, and the related statement of operation, stockholders deficit, and cash flows for the year ended May 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of May 31, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended May 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
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, although the Company had $4,508,397 of cash as of May 31, 2019, it also had total liabilities of $12,178,158 and had not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs over an extended period of time. The Company has had no revenues since inception and has an accumulated deficit of $12,295,159 as of May 31, 2019. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt regarding the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements. The accompanying 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 Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
Wewards, Inc. (Wewards or the Company) was incorporated in Nevada on September 10, 2013, as Betafox Corp. On January 8, 2018, we changed our name to Wewards, Inc.
We have developed and are the owner of a web-based platform accessible by mobile apps (the Platform) that will enable consumers to purchase goods from merchants and earn rebates payable in the form of Bitcoin. The Platform provides an innovative Bitcoin rewards ecosystem. It is designed to transform traditional concepts of commerce into a cooperative society where both merchants and consumers are collaborating, utilizing Bitcoin to reward consumers. The ecosystem provides consumers with rewards each time they complete a challenge defined by a merchant. This is intended to make the ecommerce process beneficial to all market participants, and to help distribute commercial wealth among and between the merchants and consumers. We intend to generate revenue by licensing white-label versions of the Platform to third parties. However, to date, no such license agreement has been entered into, and we have not generated any revenues from the Platform.
On April 2, 2020, we purchased intellectual property rights (IP) from United Power, a Nevada corporation under common ownership with Lei Pei, our sole officer and director and majority shareholder, for cash consideration of $179,300, based on a price determined by an independent valuation.
The IP consists of technology and related rights associated with the game Megopoly, an MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online Game). Megopoly is an MMO board game where players are able to earn fractions of Bitcoins (satoshi) through buying, selling, and managing virtual real estate properties using in-game currency (Megopoly Coins). The game is similar in some respects to Monopoly.
The game allows players around the world to interact with each other online. Players travel (move) through different parts of a city, earning profit by investing in properties, charging rent, acquiring bonus assets, and selling their properties to other players for in-game currency. A player is able to progress to higher levels of cities at any time.
The players goal in Megopoly is to earn Megopoly Coins by investing in properties and collecting rent from other players. Players can keep playing the game using their Megopoly Coins for the opportunity to earn more coins, or they can exchange those coins for Bitcoins based on real-time market exchange rates.
Megopoly is playable at any time through a web browser on a PC, tablet or smart phone, in both Chinese and English. The game has been designed for players of all skill levels.
We began generating revenues in the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended May 31, 2020 from licensing Megopoly and related IP to Sandbx Corp., a separate company owned by the Chief Operating Officer of United Power and FL Galaxy. Pursuant to our license agreement with Sandbx Corp., we are entitled to a $50,000 initial setup fee, payable in five equal monthly installments from May 1, 2020 through September 1, 2020, and a monthly royalty of 10% of net revenues from the sale of in-game assets by the licensee, or $5,000, whichever is greater, commencing upon completion of the initial setup, but no later than January 31, 2021. The initial term of the licensing agreement is through April 19, 2021, with automatic monthly renewals, unless terminated by either party via sixty (60) days written notice of non-renewal.
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). All references to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) are in accordance with The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
Reclassifications
In the current period, the Company separately classified professional fees from general and administrative expenses in the Statement of Operations. For comparative purposes, amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations.
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 may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
F-7
WEWARDS, INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000 under current regulations. The Company had approximately $3,768,042 and $4,258,497 in excess of FDIC insured limits at May 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:
|
- |
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
|
- |
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. |
|
- |
Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement. |
The carrying value of cash, accounts payables and accrued expenses are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short-term nature of the instruments.
Software Development Costs
The Company expenses software development costs, including costs to develop software products or the software component of products to be sold, leased, or marketed to external users, before technological feasibility is reached. Technological feasibility is typically reached shortly before the release of such products. Software development costs also include costs to develop software to be used solely to meet internal needs and cloud-based applications used to deliver our services. The Company capitalizes development costs related to these software applications once the preliminary project stage is complete and it is probable that the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the function intended. Capitalization ends, and amortization begins when the product is available for general release to customers.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or is impaired. Recoverability is assessed using undiscounted cash flows based upon historical results and current projections of earnings before interest and taxes. Impairment is measured using discounted cash flows of future operating results based upon a rate that corresponds to the cost of capital. Impairments are recognized in operating results to the extent that carrying value exceeds discounted cash flows of future operations.
Convertible Instruments
The Company evaluates its convertible instruments, options, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income (expense). Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. We analyzed the derivative financial instruments (the Convertible Notes), in accordance with ASC 815. The objective is to provide guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument is indexed to an entitys own stock. This determination is needed for a scope exception which would enable a derivative instrument to be accounted for under the accrual method. The classification of a non-derivative instrument that falls within the scope of ASC 815-40-05 Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Companys Own Stock also hinges on whether the instrument is indexed to an entitys own stock. A non-derivative instrument that is not indexed to an entitys own stock cannot be classified as equity and must be accounted for as a liability. There is a two-step approach in determining whether an instrument or embedded feature is indexed to an entitys own stock. First, the instrument's contingent exercise provisions, if any, must be evaluated, followed by an evaluation of the instrument's settlement provisions. The Company utilized multinomial lattice models that value the derivative liability within the notes based on a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. The Company utilized the fair value standard set forth by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, defined as the amount at which the assets (or liability) could be bought (or incurred) or sold (or settled) in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

WEWARDS, INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Revenue Recognition
Effective June 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the licensing of our software by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. For the comparative periods, revenue has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 Revenue Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue was recognized when the following criteria had been met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the collectability of the fee is reasonably assured.
There was no impact on the Companys financial statements from the adoption of ASC 606 for the years ended May 31, 2020 or 2019.
We derive revenue principally from licensing our intellectual property, including our game, and related extra content and services that can be utilized by players of our game. Our product and service offerings include, but are not limited to, licensing to third parties (software license) to distribute and host our games and content (Online-Hosted Service Games).
We evaluate and recognize revenue by:
·
identifying the contract(s) with the customer;
·
identifying the performance obligations in the contract;
·
determining the transaction price;
·
allocating the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
·
recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied through the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer (i.e., transfer of control).
Online-Hosted Service Games. Sales of our Online-Hosted Service Games are determined to have one distinct performance obligation: the online hosting. We recognize revenue from these arrangements as the service is provided through our licensing agreement(s).
Licensing Revenue
We utilize third-party licensees to distribute and host our games and content in accordance with license agreements, for which the licensees typically pay us a fixed minimum guarantee and/or sales-based royalties. These arrangements typically include multiple performance obligations, such as a time-based license of software and future update rights. We recognize as revenue a portion of the minimum guarantee when we transfer control of the license of software (generally upon commercial launch) and the remaining portion ratably over the contractual term in which we provide the licensee with future update rights. Any sales-based royalties are generally recognized as the related sales occur by the licensee.
Significant Judgments around Revenue Arrangements
Identifying performance obligations. Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods and services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, (i.e., the customer can benefit from the goods or services either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available), and are distinct in the context of the contract (i.e., it is separately identifiable from other goods or services in the contract). To the extent a contract includes multiple promises, we must apply judgment to determine whether those promises are separate and distinct performance obligations. If these criteria are not met, the promises are accounted for as a combined performance obligation.
Determining the transaction price. The transaction price is determined based on the consideration that we will be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring our goods and services to the customer. Determining the transaction price often requires judgment, based on an assessment of contractual terms and business practices. It further includes review of variable consideration such as discounts, sales returns, price protection, and rebates, which is estimated at the time of the transaction. In addition, the transaction price does not include an estimate of the variable consideration related to sales-based royalties. Sales-based royalties are recognized as the sales occur.
F-9
WEWARDS, INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Allocating the transaction price. Allocating the transaction price requires that we determine an estimate of the relative stand-alone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. Determining the relative stand-alone selling price is inherently subjective, especially in situations where we do not sell the performance obligation on a stand-alone basis (which occurs in the majority of our transactions). In those situations, we determine the relative stand-alone selling price based on various observable inputs using all information that is reasonably available. Examples of observable inputs and information include: historical internal pricing data, cost plus margin analyses, third-party external pricing of similar or same products and services such as software licenses and maintenance support within the enterprise software industry. The results of our analysis resulted in a specific percentage of the transaction price being allocated to each performance obligation.
Determining the Estimated Offering Period. The offering period is the period in which we offer to provide the future update rights and/or online hosting for the game. Because the offering period is not an explicitly defined period, we must make an estimate of the offering period for the service-related performance obligations (i.e., future update rights and online hosting). Determining the Estimated Offering Period is inherently subjective and is subject to regular revision. Generally, we consider the specified contract period of our software licenses and therefore, the offering period is estimated to be over the term of the license. We recognize revenue for future update rights and online hosting performance obligations ratably on a straight-line basis over this period as there is a consistent pattern of delivery for these performance obligations.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 Stock Compensation (ASC 718) and Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees pursuant to ASC 505-50 (ASC 505-50). All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the counterparty's performance is complete or the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached because of sufficiently large disincentives for nonperformance.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
Basic earnings per share (EPS) are computed by dividing net income (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period (the denominator). Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares outstanding (if dilutive) during each period. Potential common shares include stock options, warrants and restricted stock. The number of potential common shares outstanding relating to stock options, warrants and restricted stock is computed using the treasury stock method. For the periods presented, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided for significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not, that such asset will not be recovered through future operations.
Uncertain Tax Positions
In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740), the Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be capable of withstanding examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. These standards prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. These standards also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
F-10
WEWARDS, INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Various taxing authorities may periodically audit the Companys income tax returns. These audits include questions regarding the Companys tax filing positions, including the timing and amount of deductions and the allocation of income to various tax jurisdictions. In evaluating the exposures connected with various tax filing positions, including state and local taxes, the Company records allowances for probable exposures. A number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which an allowance has been established, is audited and fully resolved. The Company has not yet undergone an examination by any taxing authorities.
The assessment of the Companys tax position relies on the judgment of management to estimate the exposures associated with the Companys various filing positions.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for most leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public entity financial statements for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. ASU 2016-02 was further clarified and amended within ASU 2018-01, ASU 2018-10, ASU 2018-11 and ASU 2018-20 which included provisions that would provide us with the option to adopt the provisions of the new guidance using a modified retrospective transition approach, without adjusting the comparative periods presented. We adopted the new standard on May 31, 2019 and used the effective date as our date of initial application under the modified retrospective approach. We elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all of our leases that qualify. This means, for those leases we will not recognize right-of-use (RoU) assets or lease liabilities. The implementation of this new standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements, other than the presentation of a right of use asset and an operating lease obligation liability on the balance sheet in an equal amount.
There are no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that the Company has yet to adopt that are expected to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
NOTE 2 GOING CONCERN FOR THE YEAR ENDED MAY 31, 2019
The financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2019 were prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Although the Company currently had $4,508,397 of cash as of May 31, 2019, it also had total liabilities of $12,178,158 and had not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs over an extended period of time. The Company had no revenues since inception and had an accumulated deficit of $12,295,159 as of May 31, 2019. These conditions, among others, rose substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Management has since alleviated the going concern uncertainty by extending the maturity of its convertible notes beyond the next twelve months, carrying $4,017,107 in cash on hand as of May 31, 2020, and commencing revenue generating operations. These factors cause management to believe the Company no longer has substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Accounts Payable, Related Party
The Company owed United Power, Inc. (United Power) $15,006 for unpaid rent and utilities as of May 31, 2020. As disclosed in Note 8, below, the Company subleases office space from United Power, an affiliate of the Company by reason of common ownership with Lei Pei, the Companys sole officer and director and majority shareholder, at a base monthly rent of $15,000. The building is owned by Future Property Limited (Future).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 4 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Under FASB ASC 820-10-5, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.
The Company has certain financial instruments that must be measured under the new fair value standard. The Companys financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The following schedule summarizes the valuation of financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets as of May 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively:

NOTE 5 INTANGIBLE ASSETS
On April 2, 2020, the Company purchased intellectual property rights (IP) from United Power, a Nevada Corporation under common ownership with Lei Pei, the Companys sole officer and director and majority shareholder, for cash consideration of $179,300, based on a price determined by an independent valuation. The IP consists of technology and related rights associated with the game Megopoly, an MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online Game).
Due to the common control nature of the asset purchase, the $179,300 purchase price did not result in a stepped-up basis, and was recognized as equity during the year ended May 31, 2020. During the year ended May 31, 2019, the Company impaired its previously capitalized software costs of $374,125.

If Sky Rover converts the remaining $10,500,000 of principal on the Convertible Notes at the present conversion price of $0.08 per share into 131,250,000 shares, then those shares, plus the 101,353,450 shares Mr. Pei currently owns, would give him beneficial ownership of 232,603,450 shares of the Companys 238,733,450 then-issued and outstanding shares (assuming that no other shares are issued prior to conversion), which would approximate 97.4% of the then-outstanding shares.

The voting powers, conversion features, if any, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and other rights of each series of preferred stock shall be prescribed by resolution of the Board of Directors at the time a specific series of preferred stock is designated.

NOTE 10 - INCOME TAX
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740-10, which requires use of the liability method. FASB ASC 740-10-25 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences.
For the years ended May 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred a net operating loss and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets. At May 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $5,826,000 of federal net operating losses. The net operating loss carry forwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2034.
The effective income tax rate for the years ended May 31, 2020 and 2019 consisted of the following:

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, who is one and the same, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of May 31, 2020 (the Evaluation Date). The term disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who is one and the same, have concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of the identified material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, the nature of which is summarized below.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. 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 in accordance with GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management has conducted, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Accounting Officer, who is one and the same, an assessment, including testing of the effectiveness, of our internal control over financial reporting as of Evaluation Date. Management's assessment of internal control over financial reporting was conducted using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control Integrated Framework (2013 Framework).
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In connection with management's assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we have determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below:
1.
We do not have an Audit Committee While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is management s view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an important entity level control over the Companys financial statements. Currently the single-member Board of Directors acts in the capacity of the Audit Committee, and does not include a member that is considered to be independent of management to provide the necessary oversight over managements activities.
2.
We did not maintain appropriate cash controls As of May 31, 2020, the Company has not maintained sufficient internal controls over financial reporting for the cash process, including failure to segregate cash handling and accounting functions, and did not require dual signature on the Company s bank accounts.
11
3.
Lack of segregation of duties We have no employees other than our CEO and CFO, who are one and the same person. Therefore, all accounting information is currently reviewed only by one person.
4.
Related parties The Company has no formal process related to the identification and approval of related party transactions.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) or in other factors that occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
None.

Exhibit: A
United Power, Inc. Assets
UPI currently owns IP rights to A MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing Game) game called Megopoly. It is the first MMOEPG 3-D board game in the world, where players may earn Bitcoins through buying, selling, and managing real estate properties in the forms of tokens, pawns and props in different virtual cities. Each token or pawn or prop is given certain value or Megopoly Coins that is equivalent to certain quantity of Satoshi, then equivalent to certain quantity of value of Bitcoin in real-time marketplace.
The game allows thousands of players from different corners of the world interact with each other in real-time. Players travel (move) through different parts of a city, earning profit by investing in properties, charging rent, acquiring rare bonus assets, and selling off their investments to other players. When a player earns enough credits and passes the level-change threshold, the game will propel the player into higher levels of cities where the player will experience more sophisticated, surprising, shocking and unexpected audio-visual effects with more rewards all in real-time.
The goal of Megopoly is to earn Megopoly Coins by investing in properties and collecting rent from other players. Players can keep playing the game using their Megopoly Coins for the opportunity to earn more coins, or they can exchange those coins for Bitcoins based on real-time market exchange rates.
The Game can be played 24/7 through a web browser on a PC, laptop, tablet or cellphone. It is supported by both English and Chinese languages. It is a free-to-play game for fun and entertainment. The Games features and mechanisms are designed for players of both entry-level and pro-level. Entry-level players can immediately enjoy the game, while pros can earn considerable rewards and exchange those rewards for Bitcoins. One of the concepts that UPI designers incorporated into the Game is, The Skys The Limit, which means a player may earn Bitcoins to an unpredictable level.
An independent valuation from Scalar that was used as a basis for the purchase price is hereby attached.
