On August 3, 2016, we acquired from Apcentive, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Apcentive”), all of Apcentive’s right, title and interest in and to U.S. Patent No. 6,285,878 B1 and all related support materials, continuations, amendments, updates, and contemplated updates and amendments (collectively, the “Patent”). The Patent relates to a new use for already existing fleets of commercial aircraft to replace low-earth orbit communication satellites.
On August 3, 2016, we acquired from Apcentive the trademark “Infinitus Super Highway” (the “Trademark”).
The consideration for the Patent and the Trademark is (i) 40,000,000 shares of our common stock and (ii) a royalty in the amount of 1.5% of the net cash we received from the promotion, marketing, sale, licensing, distribution, and other exploitation of the Patent. A copy of the agreement pursuant to which we acquired the Patent and the Trademark is attached as an exhibit to that Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed on October 21, 2016, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
As of August 7, 2016, we entered into a written consulting agreement with C. Neal Monte, pursuant to which Mr. Monte will serve as our FAA Designated Engineering Representative. In that capacity, Mr. Monte will consult with us regarding the development of data and analysis to support FAA Civil Certification of our fully-meshed airborne wireless communication network. A copy of that agreement is attached as an exhibit to that Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 16, 2016.
On August 8, 2016, we entered into a written Memorandum of Understanding with Concept Development, Inc., a leading aerospace engineering and design firm, pursuant to which Concept Development Inc. will provide us technical expertise regarding the preparation of systems drawings, designing, and manufacturing the onboard hardware and components, and providing software development support for our fully-meshed airborne wireless communication network.

We are a developmental stage company with a principal business of developing, marketing and licensing a wholesale fully meshed high speed broadband airborne wireless network by linking commercial aircraft in flight, which will be the first and only fully-meshed true airborne broadband system, and which is known as the (“Infinitus”). Infinitus will use commercial aircrafts as hubs or “mini-satellites,” rather than traditional satellites or terrestrial systems. We believe that Infinitus will become the future of airborne communications network.
The Company has not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings since its incorporation nor has it been involved in any reclassification, merger or consolidation.
Plan of Operations
Our business plan contemplates the development, promotion and licensing of Infinitus, a wholesale fully-meshed broadband digital carrier network, which is the first and only true airborne broadband network providing connectivity for worldwide broadband carrier services using commercial aircraft, which is an effort to reduce significantly internet problems associated with traditional air-to-ground and satellite based airborne communications providers. Infinitus is the first broadband fully meshed network using high level patented technology to bring speed and reliability in the air.
We intend to become a significant global wholesale communication carrier. We intend to sell wholesale bandwidth to the world’s top telecom and internet services providers using Infinitus, which will enable participating aircraft to act as airborne repeaters or routers, sending and receiving broadband signals from one aircraft to the next, which will create a digital superhighway in the sky. We do not intend to become a service provider to individual airline passengers.
Our operations to date have been devoted primarily to start-up business development activities. Our president has performed activities such as:
· | Negotiating a relationship with a leading aerospace engineering design and manufacturing firm, which contemplates that firm will provide to the Company technical expertise regarding the preparation of systems drawings, designing and manufacturing the onboard hardware and components, and providing software development support. | |
|
|
|
· | Negotiating a relationship with an appropriate aircraft firm, which contemplates that firm will provide us with the use of 2 aircraft, for the purpose of enabling us to complete the FAA certification process. | |
|
|
|
· | Negotiating with various persons an employment and consulting relationships, with appropriate management and technical personnel. | |
|
|
|
· | Negotiating the acquisition from Apcentive, Inc., a California corporation (“Apcentive”), of certain intellectual property, which consists of a patent and a trademark, which are essential for our operations. | |
|
|
|
· | Negotiating a relationship with a certification and engineering firm pursuant to which that firm shall support the Company in the development of data and analysis to support FAA Civil Certification of Infinitus. |
We have no plans to change our plan of operations.

The Company has not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings since its incorporation nor has it been involved in any reclassification, merger or consolidation.
We anticipate that our revenues would come from “facilitating global high-speed data communications” using Infinitus. We anticipate that our primary customers will be global communication, wholesalers, data wholesalers, VOIP carriers, and government agencies (FAA, DOD, TSA, etc.). As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have not licensed Infinitus.
It is anticipated that with Infinitus, key markets which are currently underserved, such as maritime, rural and remote locations, will now have the ability to connect reliably on a global scale. Reaching previously unserved and inaccessible rural markets is a positive off shoot of Infinitus.
Much of the air traveling public is familiar with traditional airborne services as many airlines offer “Wi-Fi” services. The integrity of those services depends on a single link, either accessing a cellular-tower, or a satellite. This limits customer usage to non-real time services. There simply is not enough bandwidth. Accordingly, service is often interrupted and slow, due to an infrastructure not designed to handle the demand for data traffic. The reason for slow data-rates is that data is “stored and forwarded,” meaning the onboard host holds the data until the next link is available. With Infinitus, “real connectivity” is expected almost 100% of the time, as there are multiple simultaneous data-connections (as with a spider’s web), so the system does not rely on a single link.
By commercializing Infinitus, the Company anticipates that it would enable its future wholesale customers to minimize their infrastructure development time and costs, minimize their land purchase requirements and right of way negotiations and associated costs, and help these clients increase their systems reliability (no more stolen or damaged transport-cabling, fewer weather-related outages, etc.)
Because Infinitus is typically used at mid-level altitudes (20,000 to 40,000 feet), it has many inherent advantages over satellites. Those altitudes provide us with the primary advantage of being able to reuse operating spectrum. Nature limits the range of signals based upon the curvature of the earth, allowing the same frequencies to be reused beyond the horizon.
Our ability to assign operating frequencies dynamically and the ease and cost effective ways in which we can service and/or upgrade our equipment, unlike high altitude solutions, should provide us a steady leading role in the ever expanding broadband industry.
As the proliferation of mobile devices has grown, so too has the dependency on these and the need, or rather demand, for more bandwidth. Regardless of application; airborne, maritime or remote, with current technology, there simply is not enough available bandwidth to adequately support that growth. Once fully commissioned, our wholesale carriers should be able to provide this “demanded-connectivity” worldwide.
Limited satellite bandwidth, combined with the inherent air-to-ground connectivity challenges of current solutions, underscores the challenges to meet current expectations. Add the significant limitations of current technology, especially when it involves trans-oceanic journeys, we believe that the desire for new, comprehensive solutions is very clear.
With the exception of outages due to heavy rainstorms, current infrastructure is perfectly capable to support “one-way-broadcasts (transmissions)” of TV signals and movies. Also, it can support duplex (two-way) Internet connectivity on a very limited basis. In spite of these severe limitations, there has been a growing demand for Internet connectivity and “slow connections” as well as “waiting to connect” are commonplace today, and acceptance of these problematic systems has become the norm, rather than the exception.

Finding cost effective solutions for reaching the maritime, rural and airborne customers remains one of the primary challenges of VOIP/data-wholesalers today. The cost to build cellular networks across sparsely populated areas remains out of reach when considering the “Average Revenue Per User” for these desolate populations.
If we are unable to complete any aspect of our development or marketing efforts because we don’t have enough money, we will cease our development and/or marketing operations until we raise money. Attempting to raise capital after failing in any phase of our business plan would be difficult. As such, if we cannot secure additional proceeds we will have to cease operations and our shareholders may lose their entire investments.
We anticipate that we will need approximately $10,500,000 to fund our operations for the next 12 months. We anticipate that we will obtain that amount from sales of shares of our common stock; provided, however, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to sell a sufficient number of shares of our common stock to raise that amount, or any amount whatsoever. In the event we do not receive cash sufficient to fund our operations, our operations may be reduced or eliminated completely.
We anticipate requiring approximately $5,000,000 for leasing of plane assets, hanger space, equipment purchases, and hardware costs for the development of prototypes and for testing of equipment during the next 12 months. Of this $5,000,000, we anticipate $1,600,000 for the purchase of equipment and 1,400,000 for other prototype development hardware for research and development.
Products and Services
Infinitus is for use for already existing fleets of commercial airline aircraft to replace low-earth orbit communication satellites. Infinitus will provide low-cost, broadband wireless communication infrastructure among points-to-points accomplished by using and modifying existing, small, lightweight low power, low cost microwave relay station equipment onboard the commercial airline aircraft. Each equipped aircraft would have a broadband wireless communication link (within line-of-sight coverage ranges) to one or more neighboring aircraft or ground stations and form a chain of seamless airborne repeaters providing broadband wireless communication gateways along the entire flight path. Those broadband wireless communication services also provide for customer onboard in-flight as well as customers overboard, along the line-of-sight ranges of flight path from the commercial airline aircraft.
Nearly 100% real-time (not store and forward) traditional technologies suffer from “single points of failure.” With Infinitus, if a link is interrupted the signal is redirected to the next participating aircraft, ship or earth station in the chain. Infinitus is designed with the security of meshed, redundant data-paths.
Infinitus is expected to be extremely robust, as it is a “fully-meshed” network, which utilizes commercial aircraft as its hubs. It also uses a proportionally smaller number of “earth-stations” as its “up/down-links.”
As new software becomes available, Infinitus can be easily updated. When new and more efficient data-transmission technologies emerge, upgrading Infinitus can be as easy as replacing a single module, and the system is ready for “the future.” Infinitus is never obsolete. Satellite technology, on the other hand, in most cases, has already been surpassed by the time a satellite is launched. These cannot be upgraded or serviced once launched.

It is anticipated that Infinitus would be the first and only airborne broadband fully meshed digital network, using patented technology, to bring speed and reliability to the far corners of the earth.
As many as 27,000 airborne aircraft could be circling the earth, each of which could be considered a “flying cell tower.” Each cell-tower (airplane) is wirelessly linked to the next one (meshed). Only a few aircraft in the mesh would be connected to the ground. This would create one of the largest wholesale carrier network pipelines in the world.
Because Infinitus is typically used at mid-level altitudes (20,000 to 40,000 feet), it has many inherent advantages over satellites. Those altitudes provide us with the primary advantage of being able to reuse operating spectrum. Nature limits the range of signals based upon the curvature of the earth, allowing the same frequencies to be reused beyond the horizon.
Our ability to assign operating frequencies dynamically and the ease and cost effective ways in which we can service and/or upgrade our equipment, unlike high altitude solutions, should provide us a steady leading role in the ever expanding broadband industry.
Market
We believe that the market for Infinitus is worldwide and has the potential of growing almost exponentially, as our relationships with synergetic companies around the world increase. Each additional aircraft coming “on-line” increases the coverage-area and data-throughput of Infinitus. We intend to develop relationships rural and maritime markets, as well. Additionally, the growth of the drone industry and the FAA’s need to offer control these “beyond the horizon” (which is currently unavailable), could provide us a marketing opportunity, as we would be able to supply the required IP and location-based support, and monitor and facilitate growth. Traditional cell and satellite services cannot adequately reach and fully support this growing industry and its ever expanding demands.
We plan to engage commercial airlines, including passenger and freight operators, as connected partners. The key to our success will be our ability to engage those airlines as connected partners.
We have identified a number of strategic customers that would be instrumental to our success. By reaching out to the customers we have begun our marketing efforts. Additionally, our certification work with the FAA, also, provides us with access to other government agencies with respect to services which we could provide.
Customers
We believe that we will not depend on one or a few major customers.
As it is a “wholesale-pipeline” and not a “consumer product,” our customers are expected to be larger communications and Internet Service Providers. Our potential customers are a known and finite group, with the exception of the drone marketplace. There is a potential in the drone industry as we would work closely with the FAA to develop the standards for “safe” drone control.
Below are some of our anticipated customers:
· | Wholesale Airline Network Access | |
· | Rural Network Access | |
· | Maritime AccessDrone Network Access/Safe Drone control beyond the horizon |

· | Comprehensive Airline Monitoring Access (far beyond the capabilities of Next-Gen) | |
· | Business Jet Communications/Internet Service Providers | |
· | Disaster Aid Providers | |
· | Oil Drilling Platforms |
Marketing
Our core marketing strategy involves establishing a number of close partnerships with businesses that are well-known multinationals, in order to minimize our “time to market.” Several of those relationships are expected to be with our primary wholesale customers, delivering their services over our network, Initial discussions have demonstrated tremendous interest in Infinitus and a strong desire to participate from airlines, aircraft owners (leasing and refurbishing companies) to equipment providers.
From our establishment of strategic suppliers to the alignment with jetliner owners/participants for our testing and prototyping, each relationship could provide opportunities for marketing our services.
Competition
The proprietary nature of Infinitus allows us to create a unique broadband network, which currently is not available in the market-place.
There are a number of “possibly competing systems,” which rely on launching large numbers (thousands) of small satellites. However, commercializing these may not be economically or environmentally feasible, as most of these would increase the already damaging amounts of space-junk, which in turn could jeopardize the very future they envision.
Most of the potential “competitors” may more likely become partners, rather than adversaries, as we can offer what no other company can.
“Potential competitors” are:
· | Inmarsat satellites | |
· | Traditional communications and broadcast satellites | |
· | Facebook, using drones (which may be infringe on our patent) | |
· | Google, using drones or balloons (which may infringe on our patent) |
In a pre- Infinitus environment, satellites (despite their many disadvantages and huge environmental impact), are the only solution to solving the world’s ever growing need for communications and connectivity.
Inmarsat is a leader in the providing of satellite based communication services to the maritime industry, but it
suffers from inadequate bandwidth and needs many more satellites to resolve this issue.
Facebook is attempting to create a network in the sky utilizing drones with wingspans the size of 737/757 aircraft. As of yet, it has not passed its beginning testing, and indications by regulatory agencies are that (and probably infringe on our patent) these cannot be certified for use inside of the United States.

Table of Contents |
Google is attempting to create a network in the sky utilizing balloons and drones. It has had a number of technological setbacks and is likely infringing on our patented technology.
While in theory, each of these could be considered a competitor, we believe that, due to the benefits of Infinitus, these “competitors” would quickly realize that utilizing Infinitus’ network would be a win/win for all.
We believe that the closest approach to Infinitus is Facebook's proposed use of drones to provide network coverage. This approach resembles Infinitus, with two major differences. First, the use of large, unmanned drones (with wingspans the size of a 737/757 aircraft) flying overhead, solely depending on solar power, seem not to be the safest method (especially, as similar government and military drones have unexplainably crashed). Second, we have a U.S. patent, which is recognized by most of the world’s nations, and protects Infinitus; our competitors do not own a similar patent, nor do they have a license to use our patent, and, therefore, their use of technology similar to Infinitus would likely infringe on our intellectual property.
Employees
As of August 31, 2016, we had 2 employees. Our officers, director and employees are responsible for all planning, development and operational duties and will continue to do so throughout the early stages of our growth. Additionally, we utilize the services of consultants to assist with the development of our business. Human resource planning will be a part of an ongoing process that will include regular evaluation of our operations. We intend to hire additional employees at such time as we determine it is appropriate. We can provide no assurance or guarantee on the date on which we will hire additional employees.
Employment Agreements
On August 19, 2016, we entered into with Marius D. de Mos a written employment agreement pursuant to the provisions of which Mr. de Mos shall serve as our Vice President of Technical Affairs and Development. A copy of that agreement is attached as an exhibit to that Current Report on this Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 26, 2016.
As of August 7, 2016, we entered into with C. Neal Monte a written Consulting Agreement pursuant to which Mr. Monte shall serve as FAA Designated Engineering Representative. A copy of that agreement is attached to that Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 16, 2016.
Other than as specified above, as of August 31, 2016, we are not party to written or verbal employment or consulting agreements.
Intellectual Property and other Proprietary Rights
Our intellectual property consists of (i) U.S. patent No. 6,285,878 B1, which is for a new use for the already existing fleets of commercial aircraft to replace low orbit communication satellites, and (ii) the trademark “Infinitus Super Highway.” The expiration date for that patent is September 4, 2018, and the expiration date of that trademark is June 11, 2025.
To ensure our intellectual property remains under tight control, we have partnered with California-based Concept Development, Inc., an aerospace manufacturing and development firm, for our airborne equipment needs. We are developing our own custom airborne antennas with Tyco Electronics (TE Aerospace Defense and Marine), and all equipment designs will remain our exclusive property. All of our proprietary software development will be done under the strict guidance of our chief software engineer. Although we intend to use several well-qualified consultants, no single outside person will be allowed to have access to our core software.

Effect of Government Regulations
We require FAA supplemental certification for mounting Infinitus on aircraft. We are in the process of obtaining that certification. In that regard, we are utilizing our FAA certification plan to install Infinitus on Boeing 757-200 test aircraft, and we expect completion of this certification to be obtained within 6 to 9 months. After we receive that certification, additionally, similar certificates will be added to each aircraft type, a simple process after initial approval is obtained.
In additions to that certificate, we intend to obtain from the FAA approval for us to become an improved manufacturer of our system, which includes the entire component supply chain, including outside vendors under the control of an FAA authorized company controlled and maintained quality system.
Additional, we are seeking from FAA certification regarding non-interference of Infinitus with onboard critical aircraft operating components. The FAA has established a standard certification process by which, if followed, project certification is all but guaranteed. Next, we shall seek approval from the FAA as an essential aircraft system for flight operations. FAA approval will allow us to move into the cockpit and provide critical Air Traffic Control and airline aircraft flight operation services.
We are subject to FCC approval of our operating frequency, to ensure we do not interfere with existing satellite and ground based communications.
Research and Development Activities
Other than time spent researching our proposed business, we have not spend any funds on research and development activities to date.
Compliance with Environmental Laws
Currently, we believe that we will incur no costs related to compliance with environmental laws, as we expect our operations will have no effect on the environment.
Change in Control of Our Company
We do not know of any arrangements that might result in a change in control of the Company.
Registered Agent
We are required by Section 78.090 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”) to maintain a registered agent in the State of Nevada. Our registered agent for this purpose is State Agent and Transfer Syndicate, Inc., 112 N. Curry Street, Carson City, Nevada 89703.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
On or about August 4, 2016, we issued to Apcentive 40,000,000 shares of our common stock as consideration and in exchange for the Patent and the Trademark. Those shares were issued in a transaction not involving a public offering of securities and, therefore, exempt from the prospectus and registration delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to that exemption specified by the provisions of Section 4(a)(2) of that act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D.
Holders
As of December 6, 2016, we had 31 shareholders.
Common Stock
As the date of this Form 10-K, the outstanding number of shares of our common stock was 74,097,796. All our outstanding common shares are fully paid and non-assessable.
Our shareholders are entitled to one vote for each share of our common stock owned on any and all matter brought forth at a shareholders’ meeting. There are no cumulative voting rights, which mean that the shareholder or shareholders owning 50% of the issued and outstanding shares in our capital stock can elect the entire board of directors. Therefore, any shareholder or shareholders, cumulatively, with less than 50% cannot elect any director to the board of directors on their won. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 78.320 if the Nevada Revised Statues (the “NRS”) at least one percent of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote must be present, in person or by proxy, at any meeting in favor of the action exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the action, provided, however, that directors are elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present at the meeting and entitled to vote. Certain fundamental corporate changes such as the liquidation of all our assets, mergers or amendments to our Articles of Incorporation require the approval of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.
Holders of our common stock have no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and no subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock.
Preferred Stock
At present, we have no preferred stock authorized.

Rule 144 Share Restrictions
Under Rule 144, an individual who is not an affiliate of our Company and has not been an affiliate at any time during the 3 months preceding a contemplated sale and has been the beneficial owner of our shares for at least 6 months would be entitled to sell them without restriction. This is subject to the continued availability of current public information about us for the first year that can be eliminated after a one-year hold period.
Whereas an individual who is deemed to be our affiliate and has beneficially owned our common shares for at least 6 months can sell his or her shares in a given 3 month period as follows:
|
1. |
One percent of the number of shares of our common stock then outstanding, or |
|
2. |
The average weekly trading volume of our common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to such sale. |
As of the date of this Form 10-K, we are a shell company. Rule 144 is not available for securities initially issued by a shell company, whether reporting or non-reporting, or a company that was at any time previously a shell company, unless that company:
has ceased to be a shell company; |
||
|
||
is subject to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) reporting obligations; |
||
|
||
has filed all required Exchange Act reports during the preceding 12 months; and |
||
at least one year has elapsed from the time that company filed with the SEC current Form 10 type information specifying its status as an entity that is not a shell company. |
As a result, any person initially issued shares of our common stock, excluding those shares registered in our effective registration statement, may not be entitled to sell such shares until the above conditions have been satisfied. Upon satisfaction of these conditions, such sales by our affiliates would be limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and the availability of current public information, about us as set forth above.
Cash Dividends
The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends on a pro rata based on the number of shares held, when and if declared by our Board of Directors, from funds legally available for that purpose. Section 78.288 of Chapter 78 of the NRS prohibits 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 normal course of business; or except as may be allowed by our Articles of Incorporation, our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if we were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of stockholders who may have preferential rights and whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution. We do not, however, intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future and currently intend to retain all future earnings to finance our business.
Our shareholders are not entitled to preference as to dividends or interest; preemptive rights to purchase in new issues of shares; preference upon liquidation; or any other special rights or preferences.
There are no restrictions on dividends under any loan or other financing arrangements.

On or about August 19, 2016, we issued to Marius de Mos our Vice President of Technical Affairs and Development, (i) an option to purchase 1,500,000 shares of our common stock at a per share price of $0.75, which option will vest on August 19, 2017, and terminate 5 years after the vesting date and is subject to termination as specified in his employment agreement; (ii) an option to purchase 1,500,000 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $1.25, which option will vest on August 19, 2018, and terminate 5 years after the vesting date and is subject to termination as specified in his employment agreement; and (iii) an option to purchase 1,500,000 shares of our common stock at a per share price of $2.00, which option will vest on August 19, 2019, and terminate 5 years after the vesting date and is subject to termination as specified in his employment agreement.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report.

Table of Contents |
This annual report contains forward looking statements relating to our Company's future economic performance, plans and objectives of management for future operations, projections of revenue mix and other financial items that are based on the beliefs of, as well as assumptions made by and information currently known to, our management. The words "expects”, “intends”, “believes”, “anticipates”, “may”, “could”, “should" and similar expressions and variations thereof are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The cautionary statements set forth in this section are intended to emphasize that actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward looking statement.
Our auditor’s report on our August 31, 2016, financial statements expresses an opinion that substantial doubt exists as to whether we can continue as an ongoing business. Since our officers and director may be unwilling or unable to lend or advance us additional capital, we believe that if we do not raise additional capital over the next 12 months, we may be required to suspend or cease the implementation of our business plans.
The Company has no current plans, preliminary or otherwise, to merge with any other entity.

Our operating results for the year ended August 31, 2016 and 2015, and the changes between those periods for the respective items are summarized as follows:

We have not earned any revenues from our incorporation on January 5, 2011 to August 31, 2016.
Net loss was $168,323 for year ended August 31, 2016, and $164 for the year ended August 31, 2015. The increase in operating expenses during the year ended August 31, 2016, was primarily due to increase in accounting, audit, legal and professional fees for SEC filings and stock based compensation from stock options granted to employees. Other income for the year ended August 31, 2015, is related to gain on debt extinguishment of $17,288.

|
Table of Contents |
We incurred $168,323 and $17,452 in operating expenses for the year ended August 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Our operating expenses are primarily for professional fees to maintain our reporting status with the Securities and Exchange Commission and stock based compensation from stock options granted to the employees. We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing and have historically relied on loans from related parties. For these reasons our auditors believe that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

As at August 31, 2016, our current assets were $9,976 and our current liabilities were $100,640, which resulted in a working capital deficiency of $90,664. As at August 31, 2016, current assets were comprised of $809 in cash and $9,167 in prepaid expenses, compared to $5,427 in cash at August 31, 2015. As at August 31, 2016, current liabilities were comprised of $1,985 in bank indebtedness, $53,290 in accounts payable, and $45,365 in due to related parties, compared to $33,782 in accounts payable and $6,352 in due to related parties at August 31, 2015.
As of the year ended August 31, 2016, we were indebted to our bank for $1,985. Our current cash will not satisfy our liquidity requirements, and we will require additional financing to pursue business activities. We intend to seek equity and/or debt financing to fund our operations over the next 12 months. However, additional equity or debt financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all and, thus, we could fail to satisfy our future cash requirements. In that regard, we have raised $1,708,000, from the issuance of 2,135,000 shares of our common stock through December 6, 2016 (see Item 9B in this Annual Report on Form 10-K).
There is substantial doubt if we can fully develop our business plan and continue as an on-going business for the next 12 months, unless we obtain additional cash. Our only source for cash to be used to implement our business plan at this time is investments or loans by others. We must raise cash to implement our strategy.
If we cannot raise additional proceeds by private placements of our common stock or debt financing, we could be required to cease business operations. As a result, investors would lose all of their investments.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. For the year ended August 31, 2016, net cash flows used in operating activities was $49,906, consisting of a net loss of $168,323 and was offset by stock based compensation of $72,309, an increase in prepaid expenses of $9,167, an increase in accounts payable of $53,290, and an increase in bank indebtedness of $1,985. For the year ended August 31, 2015, net cash flows used in operating activities was $4,145, consisting of a net loss of $164 and was offset by gain on extinguishment of debt of $17,288, and an increase in accounts payable of $13,307.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities
For the years ended August 31, 2016, and 2015, we received $45,288 and $4,145, respectively, as loans from related parties for paying operation expenses on our behalf.
Anticipated Cash Requirements
We estimate that our expenses to fully develop of plan of operations over the next 12 months, will be approximately $10,500,000 as described in the table below. These estimates may change significantly depending on the nature of our future business activities and our ability to raise capital from shareholders or other sources.

We intend to meet our cash requirements for the next 12 months through the use of the cash we have on hand and through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. We currently do not have any other arrangements in place to complete any private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any such financings on terms that will be acceptable to us. We anticipate SEC compliance costs for accounting, legal, and other miscellaneous fees, to be approximately $200,000 for the next 12 months.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. The impact on our business operations and any associated risks related to these policies are discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations when such policies affect our reported or expected financial results.
In the ordinary course of business, we have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial condition in the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require our most difficult, subjective, and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
18 |
|
Table of Contents |
The material estimates for our company are that of the stock-based compensation recorded for options granted and the valuation for the common stock issued for intellectual property, and the income tax valuation allowance recorded for deferred tax assets. The fair values of options are determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. We have no historical data on the accuracy of these estimates. The estimated sensitivity to change is related to the various variables of the Black-Scholes option pricing model stated below. The specific quantitative variables are included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The estimated fair value of options is recognized as expense on the straight-line basis over the options’ vesting periods. The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the expected life, dividend yield, expected volatility, and risk-free interest rate weighted-average assumptions used for options and warrants granted. Expected volatility for 2016 and 2015 was estimated using the average historical volatility of three public companies offering services in the same industry classification. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the grant date. The expected life of options is based on the life of the instrument on grant date.
Basis of Accounting and Going Concern
Our financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with GAAP. In addition, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We generated accumulated losses of approximately $215,870 through August 31, 2016 and have insufficient working capital and cash flows to support operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.
Recent accounting pronouncements
For discussion of recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements, please see Note 2 to the financial statements included herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Airborne Wireless Network
4115 Guardian Street, Suite C,
Simi Valley, California 93063
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Airborne Wireless Network as of August 31, 2016 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Airborne Wireless Network as of August 31, 2016 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered continuing losses and has not yet established a reliable, consistent and proven source of revenue to meet its operating costs on an ongoing basis and currently does not have sufficient available funding to fully implement its business plan. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
August 31, 2016 and 2015
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Airborne Wireless Network (the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation incorporated on January 5, 2011 under the name Ample-Tee. On September 31, 2011, we changed our name to Ample-Tee, Inc. Effective on May 19, 2016, the Company’s corporate name was changed to Airborne Wireless Network. It is based in Simi Valley, California, USA. The Company’s fiscal year end is August 31.
Our business plan contemplates the development, promotion and licensing of a wholesale fully-meshed broadband digital carrier network, which is the first and only true airborne broadband network providing connectivity for worldwide broadband carrier services using commercial aircraft, which is expected to be free of the Internet problems associated with traditional air-to-ground and satellite based airborne communications providers.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Going concern
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern. This contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Currently, the Company has does not have material assets, nor does it have operations or a source of revenue sufficient to cover its operation costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $215,870. The Company will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital through placement of our common stock in order to implement its business plan, or merge with an operating company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in either situation in order to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the company cannot continue in existence. Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The officers and directors have committed to advancing certain operating costs of the Company, including compliance costs for being a public company.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) of the United States.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 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 those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As of August 31, 2016 and 2015 the Company had $809 and $5,427 cash and cash equivalents, respectively. As of August 31, 2016, the Company had a bank account that was overdrawn by $1,985, and not disclosed as part of cash as it is with another financial institution.

Table of Contents |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”), fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and debt. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate their respective estimated fair value due to the short-term maturities and approximate market interest rates of these instruments.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was used to estimate the fair value of common stock options granted to employees. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time, of other comparative securities, equal to the weighted average life of the options (see Note 4).
Concentrations of Credit Risks
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. The Company’s management plans to assess the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds, and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited.
Related Parties
The Company follows ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures,” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions (see Note 5).
Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Each impairment test is based on a comparison of the undiscounted future cash flows to the recorded value of the asset. If impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value.
Intangible Assets
We account for intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350 "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other.” The cost of intangible assets with determinable useful lives is amortized to reflect the pattern of economic benefits consumed, either on a straight-line or accelerated basis over the estimated periods benefited. Patents, technology and other intangibles with contractual terms are generally amortized over their respective legal or contractual lives. Customer relationships, brands and other non-contractual intangible assets with determinable lives are amortized over 3 years. When certain events or changes in operating conditions occur, an impairment assessment is performed and lives of intangible assets with determinable lives may be adjusted.
The Company issued 40 million shares of common stock for the acquisition of certain intellectual property. Due to the lack of readily available market information and that the shares represented approximately 54% of the outstanding common stock on issuance, the Company hired an independent third party firm to perform a valuation on the acquired intangible assets. It was determined that the fair value of the intangible assets using various inputs and because future economic benefit could not be determined, the intellectual property had no value.

Share-Based Expense
ASC 718, "Compensation – Stock Compensation," prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, "Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees." Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
Share-based expense totaled $72,309 and $0 for the years ending August 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
The Company computes loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. For the year ended August 31, 2016 stock options of 50,000 were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share as the result of the computation was anti-dilutive. During the year ended August 31, 2015, the Company had no potential dilutive instruments and accordingly basic loss and diluted loss per share are the same.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) intended to improve financial reporting around leasing transactions. The ASU affects all companies and other organizations that lease assets such as real estate, airplanes, and manufacturing equipment. The ASU will require organizations that lease assets - referred to as "lessees"- to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. For public companies, the standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods therein. Earlier adoption is permitted for any annual or interim period for which consolidated financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 may have on its financial statements.
In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (Topic 606)." The amendments in this ASU defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09. Public business entities should apply the guidance in ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. We are still evaluating the effect of the adoption of ASU 2014-09.

The Company has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on our financial statements.

Aggregate intrinsic value is the sum of the amounts by which the quoted market price of the Company's stock exceeded the exercise price of the stock options at August 31, 2016 for those stock options for which the quoted market price was in excess of the exercise price ("in-the-money options"). As of August 31, 2015, the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding was $nil, as there are no stock options outstanding. As of August 31, 2016, 50,000 options to purchase shares of common stock were exercisable and the intrinsic value of these options is $21,000. As of August 31, 2016, the intrinsic value of 4,500,000 outstanding options is $nil, as they are not exercisable until August 19, 2017.
The fair value of each option on the date of grant is estimated using the Black Scholes option valuation model. The following weighted-average assumptions were used for options granted during the years ended August 31, 2016 and 2015:

As of August 31, 2016, the weighted average remaining contractual life of the 50,000 options outstanding are indefinite as they do not expire. These outstanding stock options are exercisable on the grant date Aug 7, 2016. As of August 31, 2016, the weighted average remaining contractual life of the 4,500,000 options outstanding is 6.97 years.
NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES
We did not provide any current or deferred U.S. federal income tax provision or benefit for any of the periods presented because we have experienced operating losses since inception. Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes when it is more likely than not that a tax asset cannot be realized through future income the Company must allow for this future tax benefit.
We provided a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset, consisting of net operating loss carry forwards, because management has determined that it is more likely than not that we will not earn income sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets during the carry forward period.

ITEM 9. CHANGES AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On April 5, 2016, Kyle Tingle, CPA, LLC, resigned as our independent registered public accounting firm. The reports as Mr. Tingle regarding our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2015 and August 31, 2014, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and/or not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During those fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through November 30, 2015, there were no disagreements with Mr. Tingle regarding any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope and procedure.
On April 11, 2016, we engaged Pritchett, Siler & Hardy, P.C. (“Pritchett”) as our new independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016.
During our fiscal years ended August 31, 2015, and August 31, 2014, and the subsequent interim period from September 1, 2015, through November 30, 2015, we have not consulted with Pritchett regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered regarding our financial statements, and Pritchett did not provide either a written report or oral advice to us that was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) the subject of any disagreement, as defined in Item 304(a)(i)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions, or a reportable event within the meaning set forth in Item 304(a)(i)(v) of Regulation S-K.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company’s management evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive and financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures are defined as those controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports it files or submits under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that Evaluation he concluded that the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective in gathering, analyzing and disclosing information needed to satisfy the registrant’s disclosure obligations under the Exchange Act. Based upon an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures, our Company’s principal executive and principal financial officer has concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are not effective because of the material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures. which is identified below. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.”

Table of Contents |
The material weaknesses in our disclosure control procedures are as follows:
1. Lack of formal policies and procedures necessary to adequately review significant accounting transactions. The Company utilizes a third party independent contractor for the preparation of its financial statements. Although the financial statements and footnotes are reviewed by our management, we do not have a formal policy to review significant accounting transactions and the accounting treatment of such transactions. The third party independent contractor is not involved in the day to day operations of the Company and may not be provided information from management on a timely basis to allow for adequate reporting/consideration of certain transactions.
2. Audit Committee and Financial Expert . The Company does not have a formal audit committee with a financial expert, and thus the Company lacks the board oversight role within the financial reporting process.
We intend to initiate measures to remediate the identified material weaknesses including, but not necessarily limited to, the following:
|
· |
Establishing a formal review process of significant accounting transactions that includes participation of our Principal Executive Officer, the Principal Financial Officer and our auditor. |
|
|
|
|
· |
Form an audit committee that will establish policies and procedures that will provide our board of directors a formal review process that will among other things, assure that management controls and procedures are in place and being maintained consistently. |
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the company (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes maintain records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of company assets are made in accordance with management authorization; and providing reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition , use or disposition of company assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or detected.
As of August 31, 2016, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on this evaluation under the COSO Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting are not effective as of August 31, 2016. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, as of August 31, 2016, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of U.S. GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.

Table of Contents |
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that the Company’s management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company's board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of U.S. GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (4) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by the Company's Chief Financial Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of August 31, 2016, and communicated to our management.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2), (3) and (4) above did not have an effect on the Company's financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company's board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures can result in the Company's determination to its financial statements for the future years.
We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, we will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to the Company: i) appointing one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to the audit committee of the Company resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; and ii) preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists which will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of U.S. GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.
Management believes that the appointment of more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company's board of directors. In addition, management believes that preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists will remedy the following material weaknesses (i) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of U.S. GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (ii) ineffective controls over period end financial close and reporting processes. Further, management believes that the hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge will result proper segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the department. Additional personnel will also provide the cross training needed to support the Company if personnel turn over issues within the department occur. This coupled with the appointment of additional outside directors will greatly decrease any control and procedure issues the company may encounter in the future.
We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended August 31, 2016, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Code of Ethics
We have not adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.
Board and Committee Meetings
Our board of directors held no formal meetings during the year ended August 31, 2016. All proceedings of the board of directors were conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by all the directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the directors. Such resolutions consented to in writing by the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the directors are, according to the Nevada General Corporate Law and our Bylaws, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called and held.
Nomination Process
As of August 31, 2016, we did not effect any material changes to the procedures by which our shareholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors. Our board of directors does not have a policy with regards to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by our shareholders. Our board of directors has determined that it is in the best position to evaluate our company’s requirements as well as the qualifications of each candidate when the board considers a nominee for a position on our board of directors. If shareholders wish to recommend candidates directly to our board, they may do so by sending communications to the president of our company at the address on the cover of this annual report.
Audit Committee
Currently our audit committee consists of our entire board of directors. We do not have a standing audit committee as we currently have limited working capital and no revenues. Should we be able to raise sufficient funding to execute our business plan, we will form an audit, compensation committee and other applicable committees utilizing our directors’ expertise.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
Currently our audit committee consists of our entire board of directors. We do not currently have a director who is qualified to act as the head of the audit committee.

10. Submission to Arbitration
10.1 IN CONSIDERATION FOR AND AS A MATERIAL CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY, EMPLOYEE AGREES THAT FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION UNDER THE THEN APPLICABLE RULES AND PROCEDURES OF JAMS/ENDISPUTE SHALL BE THE EXCLUSIVE MEANS FOR RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE WHICH ARISES UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (EXCEPT THOSE LISTED IN SECTION 10.4 ).

10.2 Employee or the Company shall begin the arbitration process by delivering a written request for arbitration to the other party within the time limits that would apply to the filing of a civil court action. Failure to deliver a timely written request for arbitration shall preclude the aggrieved party from instituting any legal, arbitration or other proceeding and shall constitute a complete waiver of all such claims. Statutory claims can be raised within the limitations period provided by the applicable statute.

10.3 Claims covered by this provision include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) alleged violations of federal, state and/or local constitutions, statutes, regulations or ordinances, including, but not limited to, laws dealing with unlawful discrimination and harassment; (b) claims based on any purported breach of contractual obligation, including but not limited to breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, wrongful termination or constructive discharge; (c) violations of public policy; (d) claims relating to a transfer, reassignment, denial of promotion, demotion, reduction in pay, or any other term or condition of employment; (e) claims based on contract or tort; and (f) any and all other claims arising out of Employee’s employment with or termination by the Company. This includes, but is not limited to, claims brought under Title VII of the Civil Rights act of 1964; California Government Code Section 12960 et seq .; and any other federal, state or local anti-discrimination laws relating to discrimination, including, but not limited to, those based on the following protected categories: genetic information or characteristics; sex and gender; race; religion; national origin; mental or physical disability (including claims under the Americans With Disabilities Act); medical condition; veteran or military status; marital status; sexual orientation or preference; age; pregnancy; and retaliation or wrongful termination in violation of public policy for alleging or filing or participating in any grievance or otherwise complaining of any wrong relating to the aforementioned categories or any public policy.
10.4 The following claims are expressly excluded and not covered by this Agreement for final and binding arbitration: (a) claims related to Workers’ Compensation and Unemployment Insurance; (b) administrative filings with governmental agencies such as the California Department of Fair Employment & Housing, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the U.S. Department of Labor or the National Labor Relations Board; (c) claims that are expressly excluded by statute or are expressly required to be arbitrated under a different procedure pursuant to the terms of an employee benefit plan; and (d) claims within the jurisdictional limits of small claims court.

10.5 Any claim arising between Employee and the Company covered by the arbitration provisions of this Agreement shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration in the rules and procedures of JAMS/Endispute, or any successor entity thereto, in effect upon the date the claim is submitted in writing to the Company, to which rules and procedures the parties hereby expressly agree. The Rules allow for discovery by each party as ordered by the arbitrator. The arbitrator must allow discovery adequate to arbitrate all claims, including access to essential documents and witnesses. In making his or her award, the Arbitrator shall have the authority to make any finding and provide any remedy.
10.6 The Arbitrator must issue a written award. The Arbitrator shall, in the award or separately, make specific findings of fact, and set forth such facts in support of his or her decision, as well as the reasons and basis for his or her opinion. Should the Arbitrator exceed the jurisdiction or authority here conferred, any party aggrieved thereby may file a petition to vacate, amend or correct the Arbitrator’s award in a court of competent jurisdiction, pursuant to applicable law.

|
10.7 The Company shall pay the arbitrator’s fees and other administrative costs of arbitration, and other reasonable costs as specified by the arbitrator under applicable law so that Employee does not have to bear any cost which he would not have to bear in court beyond any amount which would have to be paid as a filing fee in a municipal or superior court. The arbitrator shall at his or her discretion award attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party; provided, however, that each party shall be responsible for the payment of its own attorneys’ fees; and provided further, that if the claim of one party against the other is monetary, prior to the commencement of the arbitration each party shall submit to the other party and to the arbitrator a written settlement offer ( i.e. the amount the claimant would be willing to accept to resolve the claim and the amount the party against whom the claim has been made (the "defendant") would be willing to pay to resolve the claim), and if the arbitration award is less than or equal to the amount that is the midpoint between the two such amounts, the defendant shall be deemed to be the prevailing party in the arbitration and if the arbitration award is greater than the midpoint between the two such amounts, the claimant shall be deemed to be the prevailing party.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been made and entered into as of the date and year first above written.
