VoIP-PAL.COM Inc.
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 1. | Business. |
The Company was incorporated in the state of Nevada in September 1997 as All American Casting International, Inc. and changed its name to VOIP MDU.com in 2004 and subsequently to VoIP-Pal.Com Inc. in 2006. Since March 2004, the Company has been in the development stage of becoming a VoIP re-seller, a provider of a proprietary transactional billing platform tailored to the points and air mile business, and a provider of anti-virus applications for smartphones. In 2013, Voip-Pal acquired Digifonica International (DIL) Limited (“Digifonica”), in order to fund and co-develop Digifonica’s patent suite.
Voip-Pal is a technical leader in the broadband Voice-over-Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) market with the ownership and continuing development of a portfolio of leading-edge VoIP Patents. Voip-Pal’s primary products are VoIP-related patented technology. The Company has spent several years testing and developing this technology. The Company is currently seeking to monetize the patents through a corporate transaction, an asset sale, or licensure of its products.
Voip-Pal’s intellectual property value is derived from ten issued USPTO patents. Voip-Pal inventions described in these patents provide the means to integrate VoIP services with any of the legacy telecommunications systems to create a seamless service using either legacy telephone numbers or IP addresses, and enhance the performance and value of VoIP implementations worldwide.
Voice over IP (Internet Protocol), or VoIP, has been and continues to be a green field for innovation that has spawned numerous inventions, greatly benefitting consumers large and small across the globe. VoIP is used in many places and by every modern telephony system vendor, network supplier, and retail and wholesale carrier.
Digifonica was founded in 2003 with the vision that the internet would be the future of all forms of telecommunications. Digifonica assembled a team of twenty top engineers with expertise in Linux and Internet telephony, who set out to develop solutions for future connectivity using the internet. The team developed and wrote a software suite that would later be patented by the USPTO with applications that provided solutions for five core areas of internet connectivity:
• | Routing, Billing and Rating |
• | Lawful Intercept |
• | Short Number Dialing (Enhanced 911) |
• | Mobile Gateway |
• | Uninterrupted Mobile Prototype |
In order to properly test the applications, Digifonica built and operated three production nodes in Vancouver, Canada (Peer 1), London, UK (Teliasonera), and Denmark. The Company has a pilot system available for test and demonstration as part of its current technology activities.
Upon successfully developing the technology, Digifonica filed for patents with the USPTO. All of Digifonica’s patents have been allowed. Thorough prior art searches have found there to be no existing prior art. On August 27, 2015, the USPTO allowed the last of Digifonica’s ten major patents. Voip-Pal considers patent US 8,542,815 “Producing routing messages for voice over IP communications” and its continuation patent, US 2013-0329722 (Application 13/966096, Notice of Allowance 8/27/2015 ), to be fundamental.
Due to the fundamentality of Digifonica’s Routing, Billing and Rating patent and its messaging continuation patent, usage of the technology may be widespread throughout a variety of telecommunications applications. Accordingly, Voip-Pal and Digifonica consider themselves to have a stake among the vast subscribership which utilizes its routing and call classification technology for all applicable voice, messaging and internet payments employing messaging routing classifications. The Company is currently seeking to monetize the patents through a sale or licensure.
Voip-Pal / Digifonica is represented by two world-renowned intellectual property law firms: Smart & Biggar/Fetherstonhaugh in Canada; and Knobbe Martens Olson & Bear LLP in the United States.
The Issuer’s primary and secondary SIC Codes are 4813 and 4899.
The Issuer’s fiscal year end date is September 30.

Principal Products or Services
Voip-Pal’s intellectual property value is derived from ten issued USPTO patents; including five parent patents, one of which is foundational and the others build upon the former. Voip-Pal inventions described in these patents provide the means to integrate VoIP services with any of the Telco systems to create a seamless service using either Legacy telephone numbers of IP addresses, and enhance the performance and value of VoIP implementations worldwide. Voip-Pal patented technology provides: Universal numbering ubiquity; Network value as defined by Metcalfe; the imperative of interconnect, termination, and recompense for delivery of calls by other networks; Regulatory compliance in regulated markets; Interconnection of VoIP networks to mobile and fixed networks; and Maintenance of uninterrupted VoIP calls across fixed, mobile, and Wi-Fi networks.
Voice over IP (Internet Protocol), or VoIP, has been and continues to be a greenfield for innovation that has spawned numerous inventions, greatly benefitting consumers large and small across the globe. Brands such as Vonage, Skype, and Magic Jack are well-known retail VoIP implementations. However, VoIP is used in many other places that we may not realize and by practically every modern telephony system vendor, network supplier, and retail and wholesale carrier.
Whether a call is placed directly through a VoIP service retailer or a long-distance call is made over a traditional phone system or mobile carrier, it is likely that VoIP is employed somewhere in the stream. In everyday communications VoIP is rapidly expanding towards ubiquity. Wherever a metered VoIP call is routed, it is likely already benefitting from a Voip-Pal invention.
About Voip-Pal’s Patents
Lawful Intercept (LI) : (“Intercepting VoIP communications and other data communications”) US Patent Application, Publication No. 20100150138 , ( Link to Lawful Intercept USPTO filing ): This patent was issued on April 16, 2013 as US Patent No. 8,422,507. Lawful Intercept Continuation patent application was filed with the USPTO. This Continuation leverages patented technology for instant and text messages, and inherits the same Priority date of November 29, 2007. A Response in Europe has also been filed. Lawful Intercept is a revolutionary technology that addresses the national and international demands by governments to enable law agencies the ability to perform scheduled and live intercepts on VoIP telephone conversations. Network Service providers such as Skype may soon want to be in compliance with government regulations regarding Lawful Intercept. The advantage of this patent is that it is truly undetectable by the intercept target; as opposed to many prior art technologies. Various governments are considering legislating Lawful Intercept as a mandatory technology for any VoIP provider.
Routing, Billing and Rating engine (RBR) : (“Producing routing messages for VoIP communications”) US Patent Application, Publication No. 20100150328, ( Link to RBR USPTO filing ): This patent was issued on September 24, 2013, as US Patent No. 8,542,815. A Response to Europe has also been filed. The Company believes that this patent application technology will be the foundation of any modern commercial VoIP system. It is an essential patent to all VoIP communications. RBR has taken millions of investment dollars and several years to develop and solidify into perhaps the most important architectural solution for VoIP.
Mobile Gateway : US Patent Application, Publication No. 20110122827 , ( Link to Mobile Gateway USPTO filing ): This patent was issued on January 14, 2014 as US Patent No. 8,630,234. The Company believes that Mobile Gateway technology can be applied to any modern cell phone allowing Internet calls to be transparent for the users. All current commercial techniques for making cell phone Internet calls require the users to make additional actions, which are not necessary with the Mobile Gateway patent application. Mobile Gateway is a sophisticated application that uses a telephone’s existing mobile network and accesses local reserved phone numbers from the call origination site, thus enabling the user to make a long distance or international call at the local call billing rate.
Enhanced 911 : (“Emergency Assistance calling for VoIP communications”) US Patent Application, Publication No. 20100172345, ( Link to Enhanced 911 USPTO filing ): This patent was issued on September 17, 2013 as US Patent No. 8,537,805. Enhanced 911 technology satisfies the major requirement for the emergency response system which is the ability to call back the person making an emergency call to 9-1-1 in the event of a dropped connection. Currently 70% of all emergency calls to 9-1-1 are made via mobile or VoIP telephones and that number continues to increase. The major challenge for emergency response personnel is the ability to trace the call from a 911 mobile or VoIP caller since wireless telephones are not linked to a fixed location or address
Advanced Interoperability Solutions : (“Uninterrupted Transmission of Internet Protocol Transmissions during Endpoint Changes”) US Patent Application, Publication No. 20120170574, (Link to Advanced Interoperability Solutions USPTO filing ): This patent was issued on March 18, 2014 as US Patent No. 8,675,566. This technology demonstrates the future of Internet voice communication – calls should not be dropped when roaming from one transport provider to another. The Uninterrupted Transmission technology allows for seamless transition from one Internet access point to another providing continuous, uninterrupted connectivity of a mobile device.
Allocating Charges for Communications Services: US Patent Application, Publication No. 20140016764 ( Link to Allocating Charges for Communications Services USPTO filing ): This patent was issued on July 8, 2014 as US Patent No. 8,774,378, as a continuation to US Patent No. 8,542,815 (RBR). The technology protected by this patent strengthens the RBR patent and enhances the billing aspect of the RBR and its implementation.

Overview
VOIP-PAL.com Inc. (“Voip-Pal”, the “Company”, the “Issuer”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada in September 1997 as All American Casting International, Inc. and changed its name to VOIP MDI.com in 2004 and subsequently to Voip-Pal.Com Inc. in 2006. Since March 2004, the Company has been in the development stage of becoming a VoIP re-seller, a provider of a proprietary transactional billing platform tailored to the points and air mile business, and a provider of anti-virus applications for smartphones. All business activities prior to March 2004 have been abandoned and written off to deficit.
In December 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Digifonica (International) Limited, a private company incorporated on September 7, 2004 in Gibraltar.
Voip-Pal is a technical leader in the broadband Voice-over-Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) market with the ownership and continuing development of a portfolio of leading-edge VoIP Patents. Voip-Pal’s primary products are VoIP-related patented technology. The Company has spent several years testing and developing this technology. The Company is currently seeking to monetize the patents through a corporate transaction, an asset sale, or licensure of its products.
Voip-Pal’s intellectual property value is derived from ten issued USPTO patents. Voip-Pal inventions described in these patents provide the means to integrate VoIP services with any of the legacy telecommunications systems to create a seamless service using either legacy telephone numbers or IP addresses, and enhance the performance and value of VoIP implementations worldwide.
Voice over IP (Internet Protocol), or VoIP, has been and continues to be a green field for innovation that has spawned numerous inventions, greatly benefitting consumers large and small across the globe. VoIP is used in many places and by every modern telephony system vendor, network supplier, and retail and wholesale carrier.
Liquidity and capital resources
As of December 31, 2015, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $28,874,214 as compared to an accumulated deficit of $26,683,000 at December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had a working capital surplus of $459,275 as compared to a working capital deficit of $13,737 at December 31, 2014. The increase in the Company’s working capital surplus of $473,012 was primarily due to the sale of common stock during the year ended September 30, 2015 which increased the Company’s cash account as of December 31, 2015.
The Company has been a development stage company which incurred net losses as it has acquired, developed, and tested VoIP-related patented technology. The Company currently holds ten (10) issued USPTO patents. The accumulated deficits also include the acquisition costs of acquiring Digifonica (International) Limited which held several of these patents. The primary operating costs of the Company include legal fees, office and general costs, professional fees and services, and compensation for officers and directors. The write-down of acquisition costs represents the highest contributing cost to the accumulated deficit.
The Company had a working capital surplus as of December 31, 2015 due to the infusion of cash from the sale of common stock in anticipation of expenses related to legal costs associated with the Company’s patent infringement lawsuits filed during the first quarter of 2016 and costs associated with its application and registration to become a public reporting company.
With the acquisition and development of most of the Company’s patents being complete, the Company’s resources are now being focused on the monetization of the Company’s current patents and the generation of revenues through subscription based licensing of its patents to existing businesses that are infringing on the Company’s patents.
Net cash used by operations for the three months ending December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $153,876 and $109,495, respectively. The increase in net cash used for the three months ending December 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ending December 31, 2014 was primarily due to an increase in general and administrative costs.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ending December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $174,222 and $(Nil). The increase in cash used in investing activities of $174,222 was due to increased expenditures on patents in 2015. Net cash provided in financing activities for the three months ending December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $35,814 and $36,815, respectively. The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities of $1,001 was primarily due to a decrease in shares issued for cash during the period ended December 31, 2015.
6 |
Liquidity
The Company has primarily financed its operations from cash received through the sale of common stock and the exercise of convertible loans from investors. It has to date been able to finance its operations without interruption. Due to costs associated with its patent infringement lawsuits and reporting company application and registration, cash flow requirements will increase in the next quarter. The Company believes that its available cash resources are adequate to fund these increased costs and ongoing operating costs for the next twelve months.
The Company has also been able to preserve its cash resources through the payment of stock-based compensation to officers, directors, and other key consultants. The Company believes it will be able to continue to use stock-based compensation to compensate key individuals while preserving its cash resources for other operating costs.
Results of operations
The Company’s operating costs consist of expenses incurred to monetizing, selling and licensing its VoIP patents. Other operating costs include expenses for legal, accounting and other professional fees, financing costs, and other general and administrative expenses.

Director Independence
We are not subject to the listing requirements of any national securities exchange or national securities association and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our Board comprised of a majority of “independent directors.” One of our five directors (see Item 6 above) is independent as defined under the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.
Item 8. | Legal Proceedings. |
The Company is party to the following legal proceedings:
On April 4, 2015, Locksmith Financial Corporation filed A-15-717491-C in Clark County, Nevada District Court against Company and several of its Directors. The suit sought to recover the frozen shares. The Company filed an answer to the complaint and a counter-complaint that demanded the return of the contested shares. On March 24, 2014, the Company resolved to freeze 95,832,000 common shares that were issued to a company controlled by a former director (the “defendant”) in fiscal 2013 and accounted for at a cost of $1,443,000. The Company resolved to freeze the common shares as the Company believes that the shares were issued as settlement of a line of credit that the Company believes to have been legally unsupported. In October 2014, the Company froze over 100 million shares that had been transferred by Richard Kipping, Terry Kwan, Locksmith International and TK Investments to fifteen offshore companies. The company’s actions were based upon the results of an audit by the company that showed that 124,718,000 shares were improperly transferred to Kipping, Kwan, Locksmith, TK Investments and related entities. The shares included 360,000,000 shares that Mr. Kipping and Mr. Kwan had transferred to themselves to settle an alleged loan of $360,000 that had no legal basis. The defendant alleges that the freeze and the Company’s actions constituted fraud and a breach of securities laws. The Company denies any wrongdoing. Currently the State Case is entering the discovery phase of litigation and the outcome is undeterminable. The Company’s counter-complaint survived a motion to dismiss and discovery is ongoing.
On July 2, 2015, the Company filed a suit against Kipping, Kwan, Locksmith, TK Investments in the United States District Court for Nevada case number 2:15-cv-01258-JAD-VCF. The case sought return of the frozen shared based upon the fraud involved in their issuance. The Company alleges that the common shares issued in the State Case and an additional 7,200,000 common shares were fraudulently obtained and that the shares have been unlawfully transferred to other entities. The proceedings in the Federal Case have been stayed pending a final determination of the issues in the State Case. The Company’s complaint survived a motion to dismiss and discovery is ongoing. The outcome of the case is undeterminable.
On February 9, 2016, the Company filed suit against Apple, Inc. (“Apple”), in the United States District Court, District of Nevada case number 2:16-CV-00260; and on February 10, 2016 the Company filed suit against Verizon Wireless Services, LLC, Verizon Communications Inc. (together “Verizon”), AT&T, Inc., and AT&T Corp. (together “AT&T”) in the United States District Court, District of Nevada, case number 2:16-cv-00271. The two complaints allege infringement by Apple, Verizon and AT&T of various claims of the Company’s patents. In the complaints, the Company seeks damages totaling $7,024,377,876. Although the complaints have been filed, the defendants have not yet been served with the complaints. Federal law allows a ninety day period after the filing the complaint for service. The Company is using this period to engage the defendants in discussions that the Company hopes may lead to non-judicial resolutions of the alleged infringement.
Item 9. | Market Price of and Dividends on the Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters. |
Market
Our stock is quoted with the OTC Markets Group, Inc., also known as Pink Sheets. This is not considered a market, and, therefore, there is currently no public market for our Common Stock.
Holders
We had approximately 295 record holders of our common stock as of March 31, 2016 according to the books of our transfer agent. The number of our stockholders of record excludes any estimate by us of the number of beneficial owners of shares held in street name, the accuracy of which cannot be guaranteed.
Dividends
We have not declared a dividend on our common stock, and we do not anticipate the payment of dividends in the near future as we intend to reinvest our profits to grow our business. There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that restrict us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, does prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:
· | we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or |
· | our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities, plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution |

Item 11. | Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered. |
The Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles of Incorporation”) authorize us to issue (a) 1,100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 1,032,898,368 shares are issued and outstanding as of the date of this prospectus, and (b) 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share, none of which are issued or outstanding.
Only the common stock of the Company is being registered in this Form 10. Information on the Company’s preferred stock is also provided below; however, the preferred stock is not being registered.
Common Stock
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. Holders of Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the Board of Directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, subject to the preferences of any shares of Preferred Stock which may then be authorized and outstanding, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the Common Stock.
Holders of Common Stock have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption provisions for the Common Stock. The rights of the holders of Common Stock are subject to any rights that may be fixed for holders of Preferred Stock, when and if any Preferred Stock is authorized and issued. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Preferred Stock
Our articles of incorporation authorized the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series with such designations, voting powers, if any, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and such qualifications, limitations and restrictions, as are determined by resolution of our Board of Directors. Our preferred stock is not being registered.
Dividends
We have not declared dividends since our inception. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available. We presently anticipate that all earnings, if any, will be retained for development of our business. Any future disposition of dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, our future earnings, operating and financial condition, capital requirements, and other factors.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws
We are governed by the Nevada Revised statutes (referred to as the “NRS”). Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not permit cumulative voting in the election of directors. Cumulative voting allows a stockholder to vote a portion or all of the stockholder’s shares for one or more candidates for seats on the board of directors. Without cumulative voting, a minority stockholder may not be able to gain as many seats on our board of directors as the stockholder would be able to gain if cumulative voting were permitted. The absence of cumulative voting makes it more difficult for a minority stockholder to gain a seat on our board of directors to influence our board’s decision regarding a takeover or otherwise.
Nevada Anti-Takeover Statute
We have elected not to be governed by Section 78.378 to 78.3793 of the NRS or Section 78.411 to 78.444 of the NRS which impose additional requirements regarding acquisitions of a controlling interest, mergers and other business combinations.
Limitations of Liability and Indemnification
Our articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers, and other agents, to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS, which prohibits our articles of incorporation from limiting the liability of our directors for the following:
· | any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or to our stockholders; |
· | acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; |
· | unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; and |
· | any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. |
13 |
If Nevada law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director, then the liability of our directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, as so amended. Our articles of incorporation will not eliminate a director’s duty of care and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies, such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief, remain available under Nevada law. This provision also does not affect a director’s responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws or other state or federal laws. Under our bylaws, we will also be empowered to purchase insurance on behalf of any person whom we are required or permitted to indemnify.
In addition to the indemnification required in our articles of incorporation and bylaws, we may enter into indemnification agreements with our current director and executive officer. These agreements may provide for the indemnification of such persons for all reasonable expenses and liabilities, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and settlement amounts, incurred in connection with any action or proceeding brought against them by reason of the fact that they are or were serving in such capacity. We believe that these bylaw provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. We may also maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and our stockholders. A stockholder’s investment may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. There is no pending litigation or proceeding naming any of our directors or officers as to which indemnification is being sought, nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any director or officer.

Although not considered a market, shares of our common stock are quoted on OTC Markets Group, Inc. market under the symbol “VPLM”.

Item 12. | Indemnification of Directors and Officers. |
Subsection 7 of Section 78.138 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “Nevada Law”) provides that, subject to certain very limited statutory exceptions, a director or officer is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer, unless it is proven that the act or failure to act constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer and such breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. The statutory standard of liability established by Section 78.138 controls even if there is a provision in the corporation’s articles of incorporation unless a provision in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation provides for greater individual liability.
Subsection 1 of Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Law empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (any such person, a “Covered Person”), against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the Covered Person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the Covered Person is not liable pursuant to Section 78.138 of the Nevada Law or the Covered Person acted in good faith and in a manner the Covered Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe the Covered Person’s conduct was unlawful.
14 |
Subsection 2 of Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Law empowers a corporation to indemnify any Covered Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person acted in the capacity of a Covered Person against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by the Covered Person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, if the Covered Person is not liable pursuant to Section 78.138 of the Nevada Law or the Covered Person acted in good faith and in a manner the Covered Person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation. However, no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the Covered Person shall have been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction (after exhaustion of all appeals) to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances the Covered Person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Law further provides that to the extent a Covered Person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Subsection 1 or 2, as described above, or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify the Covered Person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the Covered Person in connection with the defense.
Subsection 1 of Section 78.751 of the Nevada Law provides that any discretionary indemnification pursuant to Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Law, unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to Subsection 2 of Section 78.751, may be made by a corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Covered Person is proper in the circumstances. Such determination must be made (a) by the stockholders, (b) by the board of directors of the corporation by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding, (c) if a majority vote of a quorum of such non-party directors so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (d) by independent legal counsel in a written opinion if a quorum of such non-party directors cannot be obtained.
Subsection 2 of Section 78.751 of the Nevada Law provides that a corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation may require the corporation to pay as incurred and in advance of the final disposition of a criminal or civil action, suit or proceeding, the expenses of officers and directors in defending such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of the officer or director to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. Subsection 2 of Section 78.751 further provides that its provisions do not affect any rights to advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than officers and directors may be entitled under contract or otherwise by law.
Subsection 3 of Section 78.751 of the Nevada Law provides that indemnification pursuant to Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Law and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a court pursuant to Section 78.751 does not exclude any other rights to which the Covered Person may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, for either an action in his or her official capacity or in another capacity while holding his or her office. However, indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to Section 78.7502 or for the advancement of expenses under Subsection 2 of Section 78.751 of the Nevada Law, may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer of the corporation if a final adjudication establishes that his or her acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and were material to the cause of action. Additionally, the scope of such indemnification and advancement of expenses shall continue for a Covered Person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators.
Section 78.752 of the Nevada Law empowers a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of a Covered Person for any liability asserted against such person and liabilities and expenses incurred by such person in his or her capacity as a Covered Person or arising out of such person’s status as a Covered Person whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify such person against such liability and expenses.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders of
Voip-Pal.com Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Voip-Pal.com Inc. (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets of Voip-Pal.com Inc. as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficiency), and cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Voip-Pal.com Inc. as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Voip-Pal.com Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Voip-Pal.com Inc. has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency. These matters, along with the other matters set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of material uncertainties that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2015
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
NOTE 1. | NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS |
VOIP PAL.com, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada in September 1997 as All American Casting International, Inc. The Company’s registered office is located at 10900 NE 4 th Street, Suite 2300, Bellevue, Washington in the United States of America.
Since March 2004, the Company has been developing technology and patents related to VoIP related processes. All business activities prior to March 2004 have been abandoned and written off to deficit.
In December 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Digifonica (International) Limited (“Digifonica”), a private company incorporated on September 7, 2004 in Gibraltar.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is in various stages of product development and continues to incur losses and, at September 30, 2015, had an accumulated deficit of $28,162,038 (September 30, 2014 - $26,550,270). The ability of the Company to continue operations as a going concern is dependent upon raising additional working capital, settling outstanding debts and generating profitable operations. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Should the going concern assumption not continue to be appropriate, further adjustments to carrying values of assets and liabilities may be required. There can be no assurance that capital will be available as necessary to meet these continued developments and operating costs or, if the capital is available, that it will be on the terms acceptable to the Company. The issuances of additional stock by the Company may result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of its current shareholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase the Company’s liabilities and future cash commitments. If the Company is unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable, its business and future success may be adversely affected.
NOTE 2. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
NOTE 3. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Principles of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Digifonica. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. As at September 30, 2015, Digifonica had no activities.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements required management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Where estimates have been used financial results as determined by actual events could differ from those estimates.
Cash
Cash consists of cash on hand and monies held in checking and savings accounts. The Company had $773,275 and $82,750 in cash on September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

NOTE 3. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) |
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets, consisting of Intellectual VoIP communication patent properties are recorded at cost and amortized over the assets estimated life on a straight line basis. Management considers factors such as remaining life of the patents, technological usefulness and other factors in estimating the life of the assets.
The carrying value of intangible assets are reviewed for impairment by management of the Company at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event which may indicate that the carrying amount may be less than its fair value. If impaired, the Company will write-down such impairment. In addition, the useful life of the intangible assets will be evaluated by management at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event which may indicate that the useful life may have changed.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity.
The Company classifies financial assets and liabilities as held-for-trading, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables or other financial liabilities depending on their nature. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized at fair value on their initial recognition, except for those arising from certain related party transactions which are accounted for at the transferor’s carrying amount or exchange amount.
Financial assets and liabilities classified as held-for-trading are measured at fair value, with gains and losses recognized in net income. Financial assets classified as held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and financial liabilities other than those classified as held-for-trading are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method of amortization. Financial assets classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses being recognized as other comprehensive income until realized, or if an unrealized loss is considered other than temporary, the unrealized loss is recorded in income.
U.S. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes the following fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices 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.
The fair value of cash is classified as Level 1 at September 30, 2015 and 2014.
The Company classifies its financial instruments as follows: Cash is classified as held for trading, and is measured at fair value. Accounts payable and accrued expenses are classified as other financial liabilities, and have a fair value approximating their carrying value, due to their short-term nature.

NOTE 3. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) |
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes have been provided for temporary differences between financial statement and income tax reporting under the asset and liability method, using expected tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when realization is not considered more likely than not.
The Company’s policy is to classify income tax assessments, if any, for interest expense and for penalties in general and administrative expenses. The Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by the IRS and corresponding states, generally for three years after they are filed.
Loss per Common Share
Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted income per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options and warrants outstanding during each period. To calculate diluted loss per share the Company uses the treasury stock method and the If-converted method.
For the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2015 there were no potentially dilutive securities included in the calculation of weighted-average common shares outstanding.
Derivatives
We account for derivatives pursuant to ASC 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities . All derivative instruments are recognized in the consolidated financial statements and measured at fair value regardless of the purpose or intent for holding them. We record our interest rate and foreign currency swaps at fair value based on discounted cash flow analysis and for warrants and other option type instruments based on option pricing models. The changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded in income or expense.
Stock based compensation
The Company recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payments made to employees, directors and others based on the estimated fair values of its common stock on the date of issuance.
The Company determines the fair value of the share-based compensation payments granted as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. If the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used, it is measured using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of either the date at which a commitment for performance to earn the equity instrument is reached or the date the performance is complete.
The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock awards with service conditions on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is included in operations.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains cash at financial institutions, which at times, may be in excess of insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses to date as a result of this policy and, in assessing its risk, the Companies’ policy is to maintain cash only with reputable financial institutions. One of the operating accounts had a cash value of $773,275 as of September 30, 2015 that was over the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit of $250,000.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update(ASU) No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation”. This ASU does the following, among other things: a) eliminates the requirement to present inception-to-date information on the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholders’ equity, b) eliminates the need to label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, c) eliminates the need to disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and d) amends FASB ASC 275, “Risks and Uncertainties”, to clarify that information on risks and uncertainties for entities that have not commenced planned principal operations is required. The amendments in ASU No. 2014-10 related to the elimination of Topic 915 disclosures and the additional disclosure for Topic 275 are effective for public companies for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated this ASU and adopted beginning with the period ended September 30, 2015.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 “Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern.” The provisions of ASU No.2014-15 require management to assess an entity’s liability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. audit standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require evaluation of every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt in not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this ASU are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU No. 2014-15 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 4. | INVESTMENT IN DIGIFONICA (INTERNATIONAL) LIMITED |

NOTE 12. | CONTINGENT LIABILITIES |
The Company is party to two pending litigation cases as follows:
i) | Locksmith Financial Corporation, Inc. et al. v Voip-Pal.com Inc. (Case No A-15-717491-C) filed in Clark County District Court (the “State Case”) |
On March 24, 2014, the Company resolved to freeze 95,832,000 common shares that were issued to a company controlled by a former director (the “defendant”) in fiscal 2013 and accounted for at a cost of $1,443,000. The Company resolved to freeze the common shares as the Company believes that the shares were issued as settlement of a line of credit that the Company believes to have been legally unsupported. The defendant alleges that the freeze and the Company’s actions constituted fraud and a breach of securities laws. The Company denies any wrongdoing. Currently the State Case is entering the discovery phase of litigation and the outcome is undeterminable.
ii) | Voip-Pal.com Inc. v Richard Kipping, et al. (Case No. 2:15-cv-01258-JAD-VCF) filed in United States District Court (the “Federal Case”) |
On July 2, 2015, the Company filed a case against a former director, a shareholder and the company controlled by a former director. The Company alleges that the common shares issued in the State Case and an additional 7,200,000 common shares were fraudulently obtained and that the shares have been unlawfully transferred to other entities. The proceedings in the Federal Case have been stayed pending a final determination of the issues in the State Case. The outcome of the case is undeterminable.
NOTE 13. | SUBSEQUENT EVENT |
Subsequent to September 30, 2015, the Company issued 10,000,000 common shares at $0.05 per common share in connection with the Anti-dilution Clause and 2,840,000 common shares at $0.05 per common share related to the conversion of convertible debentures.

NOTES TO THE
INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited – prepared by management)
December 31, 2015
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
NOTE 1. | NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS |
VOIP PAL.com, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada in September 1997 as All American Casting International, Inc. The Company’s registered office is located at 10900 NE 4 th Street, Suite 2300, Bellevue, Washington in the United States of America.
Since March 2004, the Company has been developing technology and patents related to VoIP related processes. All business activities prior to March 2004 have been abandoned and written off to deficit.
In December 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Digifonica (International) Limited (“Digifonica”), a private company incorporated on September 7, 2004 in Gibraltar.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is in various stages of product development and continues to incur losses and, at December 31, 2015, had an accumulated deficit of $28,874,214 (September 30, 2015 - $28,162,038). The ability of the Company to continue operations as a going concern is dependent upon raising additional working capital, settling outstanding debts and generating profitable operations. These material uncertainties may cast significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Should the going concern assumption not continue to be appropriate, further adjustments to carrying values of assets and liabilities may be required. There can be no assurance that capital will be available as necessary to meet these continued developments and operating costs or, if the capital is available, that it will be on the terms acceptable to the Company. The issuances of additional stock by the Company may result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of its current shareholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase the Company’s liabilities and future cash commitments. If the Company is unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable, its business and future success may be adversely affected.
NOTE 2. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
NOTE 3. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Principles of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Digifonica. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. As at December 31, 2015, Digifonica had no activities.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements required management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Where estimates have been used financial results as determined by actual events could differ from those estimates.
Cash
Cash consists of cash on hand and monies held in checking and savings accounts. The Company had $480,991 and $773,275 in cash on December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015, respectively.

NOTE 3. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) |
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets, consisting of Intellectual VoIP communication patent properties are recorded at cost and amortized over the assets estimated life on a straight line basis. Management considers factors such as remaining life of the patents, technological usefulness and other factors in estimating the life of the assets.
The carrying value of intangible assets are reviewed for impairment by management of the Company at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event which may indicate that the carrying amount may be less than its fair value. If impaired, the Company will write-down such impairment. In addition, the useful life of the intangible assets will be evaluated by management at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event which may indicate that the useful life may have changed.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity.
The Company classifies financial assets and liabilities as held-for-trading, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables or other financial liabilities depending on their nature. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized at fair value on their initial recognition, except for those arising from certain related party transactions which are accounted for at the transferor’s carrying amount or exchange amount.
Financial assets and liabilities classified as held-for-trading are measured at fair value, with gains and losses recognized in net income. Financial assets classified as held-to-maturity, loans and receivables, and financial liabilities other than those classified as held-for-trading are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method of amortization. Financial assets classified as available-for-sale are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses being recognized as other comprehensive income until realized, or if an unrealized loss is considered other than temporary, the unrealized loss is recorded in income.
U.S. GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes the following fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices 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.
The fair value of cash is classified as Level 1 at December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015.

NOTES TO THE
INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited – prepared by management)
December 31, 2015
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
The Company classifies its financial instruments as follows: Cash is classified as held for trading, and is measured at fair value. Accounts payable and accrued expenses are classified as other financial liabilities, and have a fair value approximating their carrying value, due to their short-term nature.
NOTE 3. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D) |
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes have been provided for temporary differences between financial statement and income tax reporting under the asset and liability method, using expected tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when realization is not considered more likely than not.
The Company’s policy is to classify income tax assessments, if any, for interest expense and for penalties in general and administrative expenses. The Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by the IRS and corresponding states, generally for three years after they are filed.
Loss per Common Share
Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted income per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options and warrants outstanding during each period. To calculate diluted loss per share the Company uses the treasury stock method and the If-converted method.
For the period ended December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2015 there were no potentially dilutive securities included in the calculation of weighted-average common shares outstanding.
Derivatives
We account for derivatives pursuant to ASC 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities . All derivative instruments are recognized in the consolidated financial statements and measured at fair value regardless of the purpose or intent for holding them. We record our interest rate and foreign currency swaps at fair value based on discounted cash flow analysis and for warrants and other option type instruments based on option pricing models. The changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded in income or expense.
Stock based compensation
The Company recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payments made to employees, directors and others based on the estimated fair values of its common stock on the date of issuance.
The Company determines the fair value of the share-based compensation payments granted as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. If the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used, it is measured using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of either the date at which a commitment for performance to earn the equity instrument is reached or the date the performance is complete.
The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock awards with service conditions on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is included in operations.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains cash at financial institutions, which at times, may be in excess of insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses to date as a result of this policy and, in assessing its risk, the Companies’ policy is to maintain cash only with reputable financial institutions. One of the operating accounts had a cash value of $480,991 as of December 31, 2015 that was over the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit of $250,000.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update(ASU) No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation”. This ASU does the following, among other things: a) eliminates the requirement to present inception-to-date information on the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholders’ equity, b) eliminates the need to label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, c) eliminates the need to disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and d) amends FASB ASC 275, “Risks and Uncertainties”, to clarify that information on risks and uncertainties for entities that have not commenced planned principal operations is required. The amendments in ASU No. 2014-10 related to the elimination of Topic 915 disclosures and the additional disclosure for Topic 275 are effective for public companies for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated this ASU
and adopted beginning with the period ended September 30, 2015.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 “Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern.” The provisions of ASU No.2014-15 require management to assess an entity’s liability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. audit standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require evaluation of every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt in not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this ASU are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU No. 2014-15 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements.
