PART I

 

Item 1. Business

 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements based on expectations, estimates, and projections as of the date of this filing. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. See Item 1A of Part I—“Risk Factors.”

 

Odyssey Group International, Inc. was formed as a Nevada corporation in March 2014. Our principal executive offices are located at 2372 Morse Ave., Irvine, CA 92614. The registration statement effectuating our initial public offering became effective in July 2015.

 

Currently our shares of common stock are listed on the Over the Counter (OTC) exchange and there is currently very little public market for our common stock. We are in the process of applying for quotation on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board, known as the OTCQB.

 

As used herein, when we refer to “Odyssey”, “ODYY,” the “company,” “our company,” “we,” “us” and “our,” we mean Odyssey Group International, Inc., a Nevada corporation, unless the context indicates otherwise.

 

JOBS Act

 

Recently the United States Congress passed the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), which provides for certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to public companies that are reporting companies and are “emerging growth companies.” We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 3(a) of the Exchange Act (as amended by the JOBS Act, enacted on April 5, 2012), and we will continue to qualify as an “emerging growth company” until the earliest to occur of: (a) the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of $1,000,000,000 (as such amount is indexed for inflation every five years by the SEC) or more; (b) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; (c) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt; or (d) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer,” as defined in Exchange Act Rule 12b–2. Therefore, we expect to continue to be an emerging growth company for the foreseeable future.

 

Generally, a registrant that registers any class of its securities under Section 12 of the Exchange Act is required to include in the second and all subsequent annual reports filed by it under the Exchange Act a management report on internal control over financial reporting and, subject to an exemption available to registrants that meet the definition of a “smaller reporting company” in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2, an auditor attestation report on management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting. However, for so long as we continue to qualify as an emerging growth company, we will be exempt from the requirement to include an auditor attestation report in our annual reports filed under the Exchange Act, even if we do not qualify as a “smaller reporting company”. In addition, as an emerging growth company, we are able to avail ourselves to the reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and not to present to our stockholders a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation, obtain approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved or present the relationship between executive compensation actually paid and our financial performance. We have irrevocably elected to comply with new or revised accounting standards even though we are an emerging growth company.

 

General

 

Odyssey Group International, Inc. (“Odyssey” or “the Company”), was formed as a publicly held holding company with an emphasis on the development and acquisition of medical products and health related technologies. The Company is focused on building and acquiring assets in areas that have an identified technological advantage and a substantial market opportunity within significant target markets across the globe.

 

The corporate mission is to create or acquire distinct assets, intellectual property, and technologies with an emphasis on acquisition targets that will generate positive cash flow. Our strategic mission is to deliver financial results, which yield high rates of returns for our shareholders and partners. The Company’s leadership team has significant experience and capabilities to further refine the technologies and submit to the appropriate regulatory agencies for marketing approval. We engaged The Center for Valuation Studies (“CFVS”) to assist in estimating the fair market value of the assets of the Company for general corporate purposes. To derive an estimate of fair market value of the assets, CFVS relied on the information provided by management.

 

 

 

  1  

 

 

Our business model is to develop or acquire medical related products, engage third parties to manufacture such products and then distribute the products through various distribution channels, including third parties. The Company has significant assets in three different life saving technologies; the CardioMap® heart monitoring and screening device, the Save A Life choking rescue device and a unique neurosteroid drug compound intended to treat rare brain disorders.

 

We intend to acquire other technologies and assets and plan to be a trans-disciplinary product development company involved in the discovery, development and commercialization of products and technologies that may be applied over various medical markets.

   

We intend to license, improve and/or develop our products and identify and select distribution channels. We intend to establish agreements with distributors to get products to market quickly as well as to undertake and engage in our own direct marketing efforts. We will determine the most effective method of distribution for each unique product that we include in our portfolio.

 

We intend to engage third party research and development firms who specialize in the creation of medical products to assist us in the development. We intend to apply for trademarks and patents as we develop proprietary products.

 

Financial Information about Industry Segments

 

We do not report our revenues or expenses by segment. See financial statements.

  

Our Growth Strategy

 

Once the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) clears us to market the CardioMap® and Save a Life products, we intend to enter into agreements with qualified distributors throughout the United States and world, including: Europe, South America, Africa, India and China. We intend to require such distributors to pay to our company an initial license fee as well as royalties based on gross sales. Retaining exclusivity, we will bill based on a mutually agreeable semi-annual or quarterly sales minimum. We have determined to focus on international growth because generally such international license agreements provide a stronger path to revenue and earnings than purely domestic products.

 

Our objective is to grow revenue through marketing and sales of each of our current products, CardioMap® and Save a Life. Although no assurances can be given, management anticipates company growth from the following areas:

 

  1) Distribution or License Agreements. In most cases, we will enter into distribution agreements with companies who already have sales professionals that already have experience selling through a variety of sales methods. These distribution agreements will allow us to more quickly achieve sales and revenue in the health products industries.
     
  2) Generate revenues from sales of CardioMap® and Save a Life.  We intend to market CardioMap® and Save a Life through third party distributors and through our own efforts.  
     
  3) Identify and develop CardioMap® for additional proprietary uses of the product. We intend to identify and find new areas of the human body to map utilizing CardioMap® technology such as the brain, liver and kidney.  
     
  4) The development and acquisition of new products. We intend to market any new products that may be developed or acquired. We intend to, as capital resources permit, develop such opportunities if and when they present themselves.

 

About CardioMap®

 

The CardioMap® System will be an internet service based on the new development of Dispersion Mapping Method in ECG analysis for the early, non-invasive testing of coronary heart disease (CHD). The heart monitoring system is in a prototype stage and will provide high quality 3-D visualization and diagnosis of the heart using advanced signal analysis.

 

 

 

  2  

 

 

The Company owns technology and the marketing and distribution rights related to CardioMap®. CardioMap® measures disease or stress levels, along with current heart conditions as a 3D image supplementing the line drawing electrocardiogram (ECG), but with device sensitivity that surpasses standard ECG analyzers. It is highly portable and provides a rapid analysis in 30 or 60 seconds. The device is connected through the Internet to the central server that converts the electric conductivity of the cardiac tissue into a three-dimensional, color-coded and easy-to-interpret visual portrait. The CardioMap® is in advanced prototype stages of development and is not yet cleared by the FDA.

 

Once FDA cleared, CardioMap® could provide a better level of diagnosis with its improved sensitivity levels that can detect early warning signs that would normally be invisible with standard ECG devices. The system can dramatically cut the costs associated with the detection of ischemic heart disease and could prove to be an invaluable testing device for cardiologists, physicians, clinics, hospitals, the fitness industry, sports teams, emergency facilities and general public. CardioMap® was developed by VE Science Technology LLC, from whom we have purchased the product rights.

 

About Save a Life Choking Rescue Device

 

On June 27, 2019, Odyssey entered into a Definitive Agreement with Dr. James De Luca (“De Luca”), inventor and Murdock Capital Partners (“MCP”), advisors to De Luca, to acquire the intellectual property, know-how and patents for a life-saving medical device currently in development. The Company acquired intellectual property rights, namely, United States Letters Patent No. 7,559,921, entitled “Device for Removing a Lodged Mass” which issued on July 14, 2009 and which was reissued on June 2, 2015 and received U.S. Reissue Patent No. Re 45,535 and United States Patent Number 8,454,624 also entitled “Device for Removing a Lodged Mass” which was issued on June 4, 2013.

 

As consideration for the patent and intellectual property, the Company granted stock options totaling 600,000 shares of the Company’s stock, vesting on certain milestones. The options will be split between De Luca and MCP. The Company also granted Dr. De Luca, 20,000 common shares of stock. Upon commercial sales of the product, the Company will also pay a three percent (3%) royalty on the net profit of each device sold, once it is approved by all necessary regulatory bodies.

 

The Save a Life (“SAL”) Choking Rescue Device will be the only FDA cleared device that uses a patented “Negative Pressure” design to dislodge objects from the throat. It is an instantaneous, one step action that anyone can operate. A working prototype has been tested successfully in the lab. A development program for further refining the design and submitting for FDA clearance has been created. In June 2019, the Company acquired the issued patents number RE45, 535 E and patent number 8,454,624 B2 for the choking rescue device.

 

The Company believes its choking rescue device will quickly become the “accepted” standard and leader in the treatment of choking incidents globally. The Company’s device is designed to quickly, safely and economically address a medical situation that occurs often, is indiscriminate of time and place, is complex, time-sensitive, and if treated incorrectly can cause unintended or unexpected injury and even death.

 

The Save a Life choking rescue device is a patented, safe, and easy to use for removing a lodged mass or bolus from the throat of a choking victim. The device includes a pump for creating a vacuum chamber which is connected seamlessly with a replaceable/disposable mouthpiece. In an emergency the SAL may be easily inserted into the victim’s mouth which depresses the tongue providing a clear, trauma-free application. By pressing a button on the device, the device will deliver the appropriate amount of instantaneous vacuum to dislodge the mass or bolus in the throat without harm or damage to the victim. The application is instantly effective as the device is operational and effective in a matter of seconds.

 

 

 

  3  

 

 

The Save a Life has a number of advantages and features. The highlights are:

 

- Easy to Use – The product is designed to be used by adults and children. The tongue depressor vacuum tube is inserted versus trying to place and keep a mask on a traumatized patient. Management also believes the product can be self-administered.

 

- Smart Patented Design - The product is designed specifically to immobilize the palate from reflex spasm and open the air passage using a replaceable tongue depressor vacuum tube. A controlled vacuum action (manual or CO2 powered), with specific negative pressure, has been carefully calculated enabling the lifting of a lodged mass from the throat, so it may be ejected by reflexive coughing. This device utilizes a negative pressure to gently uplift the object from the larynx, at which point it will be coughed upward and outward reflexively.

 

- Used on Anyone – The SAL can be used on infants (20 months plus) to elderly adults. Also, it can be use on pregnant women and others who the Heimlich maneuver cannot help.

 

About Orphan Drugs for Niemann Picks and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (“ALS”)

 

On June 27, 2019, Odyssey entered into a Definitive Agreement with Prevacus, Inc. (“Prevacus”), a biotechnology company, to form a Joint Venture (“JV”) relating to the development of a neurosteroid for treating two orphan disorders, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (“ALS”) and Niemann Picks disease. Prevacus will contribute to the JV, the chemical compound and Odyssey will be responsible for funding the JV through Phase One clinical trials. The JV company will own the patents. Each party will own the JV company equally. In addition to the JV, the two companies have entered into a share exchange agreement whereby Prevacus will receive three million shares of Odyssey common stock and Odyssey will receive one million shares of Prevacus stock. The chemical compound for the neurosteroid being developed has issued patents, and as consideration for the patented compound, Odyssey will issue Prevacus two million shares of its common stock.

 

Prevacus, a leading biotech company in the area of neurological disorders and brain trauma has a neurosteroid compound intended to treat rare brain disorders, such as ALS, Niemann Pick’s disease, Krabbe’s Disease, Metachromatic Leukodystrophy and other leukodystrophies. These rare diseases are considered to have orphan drug status by the FDA. Orphan drug status is granted by the FDA and is intended to give companies that are researching cures for rare diseases that affect a small percentage of the population, a seven-year exclusive right to develop a cure and favorable tax considerations. The FDA Office of Orphan Products Development determines if a drug qualifies as an orphan product and drug status can be granted for new drugs, already approved drugs, or drugs that are already on the market.

 

The Prevacus and Odyssey joint venture will seek a solution to improve function and lifespan in pediatric disorders where de-myelination and cell death is widespread in the cortex and cerebellum regions of the brain. The new chemical entity is designed to work through gene amplification to simultaneously remove intra-neuronal debris while promoting antioxidant capacity and myelin repair/cell proliferation. Disorders like Niemann Pick Type C disease are multi-faceted in their pathology and require a treatment that can work at many levels to stop progression. The chemical compound for the neurosteroid being developed has issued patents. Toxicology studies have been performed and show a 380-fold safety margin. Preclinical efficacy studies show improvements in cognitive function and neuromotor performance.

 

Competition

 

We believe that the primary competition for our services is from existing companies offering EKG equipment and anti-choking devices, as well as other pharmaceutical companies engaged in the development of Orphan drugs.

Governmental Regulation

 

Product Regulation

 

Domestic. The processing, formulation, safety, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, advertising and distribution of our products may be subject to certain regulation by one or more federal agencies, including the FDA, Housing and Human Services (the “HHS”), the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), the Consumer Product Safety Commission (the “CPSC”), the United States Department of Agriculture (the “USDA”) and the Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”), and by various agencies of the states and localities in which our products are sold.

 

In order to sell, market and distribute the CardioMap®, the Save a Life or the drug compound products, clearance or approval from the FDA is required. Such clearance or approval has not been obtained at this time and our products are not currently available for commercial sale.

 

Foreign. Any products we eventually sell in foreign countries are also subject to regulation under various national, local and international laws that include provisions governing, among other things, the formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, advertising and distribution of drugs and medical products. Government regulations in foreign countries may prevent or delay the introduction, or require the reformulation, of some of our products.

 

Employees

 

At the date hereof, we have three employees (one full-time and two part-time) and intend to hire additional employees in the foreseeable future.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

An investment in our common stock is highly speculative, involves a high degree of risk and should be made only by investors who can afford a complete loss. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with the other information in this report, including our financial statements and the related notes, before you decide to buy our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occurs, then our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the trading of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment therein.

 

Risks Relating to our Business

 

Our success depends on the viability of our business model, which is unproven and may be unfeasible.

 

Our revenue and income potential are unproven, and the business model of Odyssey is new. Our new business model is based on a variety of assumptions based on a growing trend in the Health Care Systems in the United States and many other countries, where we are seeing a movement towards preventative medicine that is directly decreasing general health care costs. The CardioMap®, through its screening and predictive values, is a tool that might be implemented in this preventative approach. Considering heart disease-caused deaths are still the number one cause of death and one of the most important health care costs factors, the CardioMap® device has potential value in any medical practice. Once cleared, it could be an ideal device allowing insurance companies to cut costs through early diagnostic and preventative care. These assumptions may not reflect the business and market conditions we actually face. As a result, our operating results could differ materially from those projected under our business model, and our business model may prove to be unprofitable.

 

 

 

  5  

 

 

The Save a Life choking rescue device is in the early prototype stage and is un-proven for commercial use. Further development is required, and the final product will require FDA clearance.

 

The drug compound being developed by Prevacus under the joint venture with the Company is in its early stage. The drug will require extensive testing and clinical trials before it is commercialized. There is no guarantee that the drug will be approved for commercial use.

 

Our limited operating history creates substantial uncertainty about future results.

 

We have limited operating history and operations on which to base expectations regarding our future results and performance. To succeed, we must do most, if not all, of the following:

 

  · raise corporate equity to support our operating costs and to have sufficient funds to develop, market and sell our products;
  · locate strategic licensing and commercialization partners;
  · obtain proper regulatory clearances domestically and abroad;
  · attract, integrate, retain and motivate qualified management and sales personnel;
  · successfully execute our business strategies;
  · respond appropriately and timely to competitive developments; and
  · develop, enhance, promote and carefully manage our corporate identity.

 

Our business will suffer if we are unable to accomplish these and other important business objectives. We are uncertain as to when, or whether, we will fully implement our contemplated business plan and strategy or become profitable. See Note 10 of the Notes to the Financial Statements.

 

We may have difficulty raising additional capital, which could deprive us of the resources necessary to implement our business plan, which would adversely affect our business, results of operation and financial condition.

 

We expect to continue devoting significant capital resources to fund research and development and marketing. In order to support the initiatives envisioned in our business plan, we will need to raise additional funds through the sale of assets, public or private debt or equity financing, collaborative relationships or other arrangements. If our operations expand faster or at a higher rate than currently anticipated, we may require additional capital sooner than we expect. We are unable to provide any assurance or guarantee that additional capital will be available when needed by our company or that such capital will be available under terms acceptable to our company or on a timely basis.

 

Our ability to raise additional financing depends on many factors beyond our control, including the state of capital markets, the market price of our common stock and the development or prospects for development of competitive products by others. Because our common stock is not listed on a major stock market, many investors may not be willing or allowed to purchase it or may demand steep discounts. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity, convertible debt or similar securities of our company, the percentage of ownership of our company by our company’s stockholders will be reduced, our company’s stockholders may experience additional dilution upon conversion, and such securities may have rights or preferences senior to those of our common stock. The preferential rights granted to the providers of such additional financing may include preferential rights to payments of dividends, super voting rights, a liquidation preference, protective provisions preventing certain corporate actions without the consent of the fund providers, or a combination thereof. We are unable to provide any assurance that additional financing will be available on terms favorable to us or at all.

 

 

 

  6  

 

 

If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund our expansion, take advantage of potential opportunities, would be limited significantly. We will also scale back or delay implementation of research and development of new products. Thus, the unavailability of capital could harm substantially our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

The capital requirements necessary to implement our business plan initiatives could pose additional risks to our business and stockholders.

 

We require additional debt or equity financing to implement our business plan and marketing strategy. Since the terms and availability of such financing depend to a large degree on general economic conditions and third parties over which we have no control, we can give no assurance that we will obtain the needed financing or that we will obtain such financing on attractive terms. In addition, our ability to obtain financing depends on a number of other factors, many of which also are beyond our control, such as interest rates and national and local economic conditions. If the cost of obtaining needed financing is too high or the terms of such financing otherwise are unacceptable in relation to the strategic opportunity we are presented with, then we may decide to forego that opportunity. Additional indebtedness could increase our leverage and make us more vulnerable to economic downturns and may limit our ability to withstand competitive pressures. Additional equity financing could result in dilution to our stockholders.

 

Failure to implement our business strategy could adversely affect our operations.

 

Our financial position, liquidity and results of operations depend on our management’s ability to execute our business strategy. Key factors involved in the execution of the business strategy include:

 

· obtaining the required regulatory clearances from the FDA;
· successful sales through indirect sales distribution;
· achieving the desired cost of goods on inventory;
· continued investment in technology to support operating efficiency; and
· continued access to significant funding and liquidity sources.

 

Our failure or inability to execute any element of our business strategy could materially adversely affect our financial position, liquidity and results of operations.

 

Our inability to attract, train and retain additional qualified personnel may harm our business and impede the implementation of our business strategy.

 

We need to attract, integrate, motivate and retain a significant number of additional personnel in 2019 and beyond. Competition for these individuals in our industry and geographic region is intense, and we may be unable to attract, assimilate or retain such highly qualified personnel in the future. Our business cannot continue to grow if we are unable to attract such qualified personnel. Our failure to attract and retain highly trained personnel that are essential to our business may limit our growth rate, which would harm our business and impede the implementation of our business strategy.

 

 

 

  7  

 

 

Our failure to defend the Company from infringement litigation.

 

The Company could be subject to potential infringement actions. The Company's business is "Patent intensive", requiring the Company to constantly search for patented technologies that are not already used by competitors. Any claims for infringement, with or without merit and whether based on allegations that its technology or its intellectual property claims infringe upon the rights of others, could subject the Company to costly litigation and the diversion of financial and human resources, regardless of the ultimate resolution of the claim. If these claims are successful, the Company may be required to modify its products or services and pay financial damages or to attempt to negotiate with third parties for licensing.

 

Our inability to maintain sufficient product liability insurance.

 

The Company may incur product liability for products sold through its distribution chain. Consumers may sue if products sold through its distribution chain or are purchased through the Company-operated websites are defective or injure the user. This type of claim could require the Company to spend significant time and money in litigation or to pay significant damages. At this time the Company carries no product liability insurance. As a result, any legal claims, whether or not successful, could seriously damage its reputation and business.

 

Our products are subject to substantial federal and state regulations.

 

The Company's research and development activities and the manufacturing and marketing of the Company's products are subject to the laws, regulations, and guidelines and, in some cases, regulatory approvals of governmental authorities in the United States and other countries in which the products are or will be marketed. Specifically, in the United States, the FDA regulates, among other areas, new medical device approvals, prescription drugs and clinical trials of new products and to establish the proper labeling, safety and efficacy of these products and the accuracy of certain marketing claims.

 

We anticipate significant growth in our business, and any inability to manage such growth could harm our business.

 

Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to manage effectively our growth and expansion. We plan to expand our business significantly. Any growth in or expansion of our business is likely to continue to place a significant strain on our management and administrative resources, infrastructure and systems. In order to succeed, we will need to continue to implement management information systems and improve our operating, administrative, financial and accounting systems and controls. We also will need to train new employees and maintain close coordination among our executive, accounting, finance and operations organizations. These processes are time consuming and expensive, will increase management responsibilities and will divert management attention. Our inability or failure to manage our growth and expansion effectively could harm substantially our business and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

 

Our inability to retain and properly insure against the loss of the services of our executive officers and other key personnel may harm our business and impede the implementation of our business strategy.

 

Our future success depends significantly on the skills and efforts of Joseph Michael Redmond, President, CEO and Director and possibly other key personnel. The loss of the services of any of these individuals could harm our business and operations. In addition, we have not obtained key person life insurance on any of our key employees. If any of our executive officers or key employees left or was seriously injured and unable to work and we were unable to find a qualified replacement and/or to obtain adequate compensation for such loss, we may be unable to manage our business, which could harm our operating results and financial condition.

 

 

 

  8  

 

 

Our inability to attract, train and retain additional qualified personnel may harm our business and impede the implementation of our business strategy.

 

Once our business begins to grow, we will need to attract, integrate, motivate and retain a significant number of additional administrative and sales personnel. Competition for these individuals in our industry and geographic region is intense, and we may be unable to attract, assimilate or retain such highly qualified personnel in the future. Our business cannot continue to grow if we are unable to attract such qualified personnel. Our failure to attract and retain highly trained personnel that are essential to our business may limit our growth rate, which would harm our business and impede the implementation of our business strategy.

 

We may indemnify our directors and officers against liability to us and our stockholders, and such indemnification could increase our operating costs.

 

Our bylaws allow us to indemnify our directors and officers against claims associated with carrying out the duties of their offices. Our bylaws also allow us to reimburse them for the costs of certain legal defenses. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers or control persons, we have been advised by the SEC that such indemnification is against public policy and is therefore unenforceable.

 

Since our directors and officers are aware that they may be indemnified for carrying out the duties of their offices, they may be less motivated to meet the standards required by law to properly carry out such duties, which could increase our operating costs. Further, if our directors and officers file a claim against us for indemnification, the associated expenses also could increase our operating costs.

 

There are substantial inherent risks in attempting to commercialize newly developed products, and, as a result, we may not be able to successfully develop new products.

 

The Company plans to conduct research and development of products in the health and wellness field. However, commercial feasibility and acceptance of such product candidates are unknown. Scientific research and development requires significant amounts of capital and takes an extremely long time to reach commercial viability, if at all. During the research and development process, we may experience technological barriers that we may be unable to overcome. Because of these uncertainties, it is possible that some of our future product candidates never will be successfully developed. If we are unable to successfully develop new products, we may be unable to generate new revenue sources or build a sustainable or profitable business.

 

We will need to achieve commercial acceptance of our products to generate revenues and achieve profitability.

 

Superior competitive products may be introduced, or customer needs may change, which would diminish or extinguish the uses for our products. We cannot predict when significant commercial market acceptance for our products will develop, if at all, and we cannot reliably estimate the projected size of any such potential market. If markets fail to accept our products, then we may not be able to generate revenues from them. Our revenue growth and achievement of profitability will depend substantially on our ability to introduce new products accepted by customers. If we are unable to cost-effectively achieve acceptance of our products by customers, or if our products do not achieve wide market acceptance, then our business will be materially and adversely affected.

We expect to rely on third parties for the worldwide marketing and distribution of our product candidates, who may not be successful in selling our products.

 

We currently do not have adequate resources to market and distribute any of our products worldwide and expect to engage third party marketing and distribution companies to perform these tasks. While we believe that distribution partners will be available, we cannot assure you that the distribution partners, if any, will succeed in marketing our products on a global basis. We may not be able to maintain satisfactory arrangements with our marketing and distribution partners, who may not devote adequate resources to selling our products. If this happens, we may not be able to successfully market our products, which would decrease or eliminate our ability to generate revenues.

   

Our products may be displaced by superior products developed by third parties.

 

The health and wellness industry is constantly undergoing rapid and significant change. Third parties may succeed in developing or marketing products that are more effective than those developed or marketed by us or that would make our products obsolete or non-competitive. Additionally, researchers could develop new procedures and medications that replace or reduce the use of our products. Accordingly, our success will depend, in part, on our ability to respond quickly to medical and technological changes through the development and introduction of new products. We may not have the resources to do this. If our products become obsolete and our efforts to develop new products do not result in commercially successful products, then our sales and revenues will decline.

 

We may incur material product liability claims, which could increase our costs and harm our financial condition and operating results.

 

Our products consist of a device to diagnose heart ailments. Our products could malfunction . As a marketer of a medical device used on the human body, we may be subjected to various product liability claims, including that the products contain defective parts, the products include inadequate instructions as to their uses or the products include inadequate warnings concerning side effects and interactions with other substances. It is possible that widespread product liability claims could increase our costs and adversely affect our revenues and operating income. Moreover, liability claims arising from a serious adverse event may increase our costs through higher insurance premiums and deductibles and may make it more difficult to secure adequate insurance coverage in the future. In addition, our product liability insurance may fail to cover future product liability claims, thereby requiring us to pay substantial monetary damages and adversely affecting our business.

 

Risks Relating to Investors

 

Our management has broad discretion regarding the use proceeds.

 

We intend to use the proceeds from any offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, product enhancements, product development and regulatory filings to the FDA and to begin initial marketing efforts. In any case, we will have broad discretion over how we use these proceeds.

 

Investors may experience dilution in the value of the shares of common stock.

 

We anticipate offering common stock or preferred stock in offerings which could cause further dilution.

 

 

 

  10  

 

 

If our business is unsuccessful, our stockholders may lose their entire investment.

 

Although our stockholders will not be bound by or be personally liable for our expenses, liabilities or obligations beyond their total original investments in our common stock, if we suffer a deficiency in funds with which to satisfy our obligations, our stockholders as a whole may lose their entire investment in our company.

 

Your ownership will be diluted by future issuances of capital stock.

 

Our business strategy requires us to raise additional equity capital through the sale of common stock or preferred stock. Your percentage of ownership will become diluted as we issue new shares of stock. Stockholders have no rights to buy additional shares of stock in the event we issue new shares of stock, known as preemptive rights. We may issue common stock, convertible debt or common stock pursuant to a public offering or a private placement, upon exercise of warrants or options, or to sellers of properties we directly or indirectly acquire instead of, or in addition to, cash consideration. Investors purchasing common stock in the Offering who do not participate in any future stock issues will experience dilution in the percentage of the issued and outstanding stock they own.

 

Our common stock is deemed to be a “penny stock,” which may make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares due to suitability requirements.

 

Our common stock is deemed to be a "penny stock" as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the 1934 Act, as amended.  This classification reduces the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors.  This would be detrimental to the development of active trading in our stock and make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them.  This could also cause our stock price to decline or impede any increase in price. Penny stocks are stocks:

 

· with a price of less than $5.00 per share;

· that are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange; or

· in issuers with net tangible assets less than $2 million (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $10 million (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6 million for the last three years.

 

A limited number of stockholders collectively own a significant portion of our common shares and may act, or prevent corporate actions, to the detriment of other stockholders.

 

A limited number of stockholders, including our founders and members of the Board of Directors and our management, currently own a significant portion of our outstanding common shares. Accordingly, these stockholders may, if they act together, exercise significant influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of a majority of our directors and the determination of significant corporate actions. This concentration could also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control that could otherwise be beneficial to our stockholders.

 

 

 

  11  

 

 

The sale of shares of our common stock could cause the price of our common stock to decline.

 

Depending on market liquidity at the time, a sale of shares covered by such registration statement at any given time could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline. The sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock under such registration statement, or the anticipation of such a sale, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we otherwise might desire to affect such sales.

 

A low market price would severely limit the potential market for our common stock.

 

Our common stock may trade at a price below $5.00 per share, subjecting trading in the stock to certain SEC rules requiring additional disclosures by broker-dealers. These rules generally apply to any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price share of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions (a “penny stock”). Such rules require the delivery, before any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith and impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and institutional or wealthy investors. For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction before the sale. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to the broker-dealer, current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Such information must be provided to the customer orally or in writing before or with the written confirmation of trade sent to the customer. Monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. The additional burdens imposed on broker-dealers by such requirements could discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock.

 

If applicable, FINRA sales practice requirements could limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

In addition to the penny stock rules promulgated by the SEC, which are discussed in the immediately preceding risk factor, FINRA rules (which would apply to our common stock in the event that our common stock ultimately becomes traded over the counter via the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board) require that, in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Under these FINRA rules, before recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. If these FINRA rules were to apply to our common stock, such application would make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which could limit the ability to buy and sell our common stock and have an adverse effect on the market value for our shares of common stock.

 

An investor’s ability to trade our common stock may be limited by trading volume.

 

A consistently active trading market for our common stock may not occur on a national stock exchange or an automated quotation system. A limited trading volume may prevent our stockholders from selling shares at such times or in such amounts as they otherwise may desire.

  

Our company has a concentration of stock ownership and control, which may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change of control.

 

Our common stock ownership is highly concentrated. Through ownership of shares of our common stock, nine stockholders collectively own beneficially more than 81% of our total outstanding shares of common stock. As a result of this concentrated ownership of our common stock, our nine stockholders may be able to exert significant control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of mergers and other significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of our company. It also could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our company, and it may affect the market price of our common stock.

We have not voluntarily implemented various corporate governance measures, in the absence of which, stockholders may have more limited protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.

 

Federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements. Others have been adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities exchanges, on which their securities are listed. Among the corporate governance measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges and NASDAQ are those that address board of directors’ independence, audit committee oversight and the adoption of a code of ethics. While our board of directors has adopted a Code of Ethics and an Audit Committee Charter, we have not yet adopted any of the other corporate governance measures, and, since our securities are not currently listed on a national securities exchange or NASDAQ, we are not currently required to do so. In the event that our common stock becomes listed, we will be required to adopt these other corporate governance measures, and we intend to do so. It is possible that if we were to adopt some or all of these corporate governance measures, stockholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurances that internal corporate decisions were being made by disinterested directors and that policies had been implemented to define responsible conduct. For example, in the absence of audit, nominating and compensation committees comprised of at least a majority of independent directors, decisions concerning matters such as compensation packages to our senior officers and recommendations for director nominees may be made by a majority of directors who have an interest in the outcome of the matters being decided. Prospective investors should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation provide that certain proceedings may only be instituted in the District Courts of Nevada, which may prevent or delay such proceedings and will increase the costs to enforce shareholder rights.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation provide that the following actions and proceedings may only be brought in the courts located in the State of Nevada: (i) derivative actions brought on behalf of the company, (ii) any action asserting breach of fiduciary duty by the directors or officers, (iii) any action brought under the Business Associations, Securities and Commodities statutes of the State of Nevada, and (iv) actions asserting a claim under the internal affairs doctrine. No court has determined that such provisions are enforceable in Nevada, and we may be forced to defend proceedings brought in other states if such provision is ruled unenforceable. If enforceable, claims covered by this provision may be maintained in the courts of the State of Nevada only if such courts have personal jurisdiction over the defendants. If the State of Nevada does not have personal jurisdiction over any named defendant, this provision may have the effect of preventing the prosecution of any claim. Additionally, because shareholders may initiate such actions only in the State of Nevada, shareholders will be required to incur additional costs and expense such as engaging legal counsel authorized to practice in Nevada. Moreover, the laws of the State of Nevada may be more favorable to us or our management than the laws of the state in which any shareholder resides.

 

Because we will not pay dividends in the foreseeable future, stockholders will only benefit from owning common stock if it appreciates.

 

We have never paid dividends on our common stock, and we do not intend to do so in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain any future earnings to finance our growth. Accordingly, any potential investor who anticipates the need for current dividends from his investment should not purchase our common stock.

Dividends

 

We have never paid dividends with respect to our common stock and cannot provide any assurance that we will declare or pay cash dividends on our common stock. Any future determination to declare cash dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors, subject to applicable laws, and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. Our board of directors expects to retain future earnings (if any) to finance our growth. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

 

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

 

We have not adopted any equity compensation plans. We have entered into an individual compensation plan for Mr. Redmond, for which Mr. Redmond has been granted stock options of 15 million shares at $0.25 per share. The options vest upon achieving the following milestones: 5 million options vest upon each milestone, when the Company obtains revenue of $5 million, $10 million and $15 million. Mr. Redmond cannot sell any of the above stock options for two years from the effective date of the employment agreement or until the Company reaches $10 million in annual revenue, whichever occurs first. The stock option vesting accelerates and becomes immediately exercisable upon the sale, merger or any transaction resulting in the majority (more than 50%) of the Company stock being obtained. The Company has not recorded any expense, as we have not determined that it is probable that the milestones will be achieved.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this report regarding our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenues, projected costs, prospects and plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “projects,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.

 

We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. Although we believe that the expectations underlying our forward-looking statements are reasonable, these expectations may prove to be incorrect, and all of these statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. We have included important risks and uncertainties in the cautionary statements included in this report, particularly the section titled “Risk Factors” incorporated by reference herein. We believe these risks and uncertainties could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions, projections or expectations prove incorrect, actual results, performance or financial condition may vary materially and adversely from those anticipated, estimated or expected. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments that we may make. We do not assume any obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In the light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this report may not occur, and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

 

Overview

 

We have a deficit of $1,521,302 as of July 31, 2019. For the foreseeable future, we expect to experience continuing operating losses and negative cash flows from operations as our management executes our current business plan. The cash of $167,095 available at July 31, 2019, may not provide enough working capital to meet our current operating expenses through October 23, 2020, as we continue to accrue overhead expenses. We will need to raise additional capital through a debt financing or equity offering to meet our operating and capital needs. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be successful in our fundraising efforts or that additional funds will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

 

If we are unable to raise additional capital by October 23, 2020, we will adjust our current business plan. Due to our lack of additional committed capital, recurring losses, negative cash flow and accumulated deficit, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Going Concern

 

Substantial doubt exists as to our ability to continue as a going concern based on the fact that we do not have adequate working capital to finance our day-to-day operations. The Company has not realized any revenues for the year ended July 31, 2019. The Company has an operating deficit of $1,521,302 as of July 31, 2019. The operating deficit indicates substantial uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans include engaging in further research and development and raising additional capital in the short term to fund such activities through sales of its common stock. Management’s ability to implement its plans and continue as a going concern may be dependent upon raising additional capital. Our continued existence depends on the success of our efforts to raise additional capital necessary to meet our obligations as they come due and to obtain sufficient capital to execute our business plan. We may obtain capital primarily through issuances of debt or equity or entering into collaborative arrangements with corporate partners. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in completing additional financing or collaboration transactions or, if financing is available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we may be required to further scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. Our financial statements do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

There are no critical accounting policies or estimates reflected in the accompanying financial statements. Reference is made to the Company’s significant (but not critical) accounting policies set forth in Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements.

 

Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”), to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs.

 

The FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260) effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The amendments update the change in the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. This new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt the standard as of August 1, 2019 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

 

The FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements. The ASU amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements, provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting. The new guidance will allow companies to make certain changes to awards without accounting for them as modifications. It does not change the accounting for modifications. The new guidance will be applied prospectively to awards modified on or after the adoption date. This new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company will adopt the standard as of August 1, 2019 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

 

The FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements.  The guidance requires lessees and lessors to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt the standard as of August 1, 2019 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

 

Results of Operations

 

Revenue

 

The Company does not currently sell or market any products. The Company will commence actively marketing products after the products and drugs in development have been FDA cleared or approved, but there can be no assurance, however, that we will be successful in obtaining FDA clearance or approval for our products.

 

 

 

  18  

 

 

For the years ended July 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have sales. We are not currently selling or marketing any products, as our products are in late stage development and FDA clearance or approval to market the product will be required in order to sell in the United States.

 

Costs of Goods Sold

 

Our cost of goods sold consists primarily of the amounts paid to a third-party manufacturer for the product we purchased for resale.

 

The Company did not have sales for the years ended July 31, 2019 and 2018, and accordingly, there were no cost of goods sold for the respective periods.

 

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

 

For the years ended July 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no gross profit or gross margin.

  

Operating Expenses

 

Our operating expenses consist primarily of general and administrative expenses, which include salaries, stock-based compensation expense and legal and professional fees associated with the costs for services or employees in finance, accounting, sales, administrative activities and the formation and compliance of a public company. 

 

Overall operating expenses decreased by $42,299 or 10.6% from the year ended July 31, 2018 to year ended July 31, 2019. The decrease in operating expenses is mainly due to the non-recurring impairment allowance against a loan receivable of $131,447, consulting and marketing expenses incurred in regards to the automotive joint venture of $107,804 and purchase of the Company’s interest for the year ended July 31, 2018, offset by an increase in payroll expense of $84,366, stock option expense of $25,833, amortization expense related to acquisition of patents of $30,830 and $31,591 in general and administrative expense for the year ended July 31, 2019.

 

Net Loss from Operations

 

Loss from operations decreased $34,690, or 7.1%, from a loss of $483,115 for the year ended July 31, 2018 to a loss of $448,425 for the year ended July 31, 2019. The decrease in loss is primarily due to the Company’s non-recurring impairment allowance and consulting and marketing expenses incurred with regards to the automotive joint venture for the year ended July 31, 2018, offset by increased payroll, stock, travel, amortization and general and administrative expense for the year ended July 31, 2019.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense was $70,282 for the year ended July 31, 2019 compared to interest expense of $62,673 for the year ended July 31, 2018. The increase in interest expense for the year ended July 31, 2019, is attributed to the increased balance of notes payable due.

 

 

 

  19  

 

 

Cash Flows

 

The following table sets forth the primary sources and uses of cash and cash equivalents for the years ended July 31, 2019 and 2018 as presented below:

 

    Year Ended     Year Ended  
    2019     2018  
Net cash used in operating activities   $ (104,837 )   $ (146,062 )
Net cash provided by financing activities     271,542       133,026  

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

To date we have financed our operations primarily through debt financing and limited sales of our common stock. In 2018 and 2019, we increased our borrowings on notes payable to fund operations. As of July 31, 2019, and July 31, 2018, the note has a balance of $747,608 and $631,645. As of July 31, 2019, we had cash of $167,095. We do not believe that such cash is sufficient to sustain operations through the next 12 months. Therefore, we anticipate that we will need to raise additional capital through debt or equity financings.

 

On January 4, 2017, we entered into a “Master Revolving Note” (the “Note”) to Vivakor, Inc. (“Vivakor”), for the principal plus simple interest of 12.5% per annum. The Note entitles Vivakor to a payment of 2% of all gross sales until repayment or conversion (until the total sum of all payments made to the Holder equals two times the original principal amount of the Note). The Note was secured by a pledge of our equipment, general intangibles and intellectual property. This Note was amended on February 1, 2018, where the debt holder agreed to convert portions of its loan pari passu with any new investment raise of $500,000 or more. On February 1, 2018, the debt holder gave notice to convert $15,000 into 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock. On January 9, 2019, Vivakor gave written notice to the Company effecting a conversion of $25,314 of convertible debt into 2,531,400 shares of Common Stock of the Company, issued to Vivakor pursuant to the Master Revolving Note, dated as of January 4, 2017 and amended as of February 1, 2018 by and between the Company and Vivakor. As of July 31, 2019, the note has a balance of $747,608.

 

As of July 31, 2019, the Company has three additional convertible debt notes outstanding. The notes bear interest at 7.0% annually and the entire outstanding principal amount, together with accrued interest shall become due and payable on the date that is one (1) year from the date of issuance, unless before such date, is converted into shares of capital stock of the Company. At the option of the holder, the principal amount of the notes and any accrued interest may be converted into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share or at a 10% discount to the closing price on the day of conversion, but not lower than $0.50 cents per share. At maturity, and subject to a trickle out agreement, the Company shall have the right to either pay off the loan and any interest accrued or convert the loan amount and any interest into shares of common stock. The debt holders were issued a common stock warrant equal to 10% of the notes with a price of $1.50 per share and a term for one year from the investment date. At July 31, 2019, the notes have a balance of $37,305. Because the conversion feature met the criteria for characterization as a beneficial conversion feature, a portion of the proceeds, including warrants, of $213,650 from the issuance of the notes are accounted for as attributable to the conversion feature.

 

Our ability to continue to access capital could be affected adversely by various factors, including general market and other economic conditions, interest rates, the perception of our potential future earnings and cash distributions, any unwillingness on the part of lenders to make loans to us and any deterioration in the financial position of lenders that might make them unable to meet their obligations to us. If these conditions continue and we cannot raise funds through a public or private debt financing, or an equity offering, our ability to grow our business may be negatively affected. In such case, our Company may need to suspend the creation of new products until market conditions improve.

 

Inflation

 

Inflation generally will cause suppliers to increase their rates. In connection with such rate increases, we may or may not be able to increase our pricing to consumers. Inflation could cause both our investment and cost of goods sold to increase, thereby lowering our return on investment and depressing our gross margins.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements. We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of the Odyssey Group International, Inc. (the Company) as of July 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficiency) and cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended July 31, 2019, and the notes to the financial statements (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended July 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S.).

 

Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 10 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses since inception and is currently dependent on the stockholders and lenders to fund its contemplated operational and marketing activities that 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 10. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

 

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

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

1. Nature of Operations

 

The corporate mission is to create or acquire distinct assets, intellectual property, and technologies with an emphasis on acquisition targets that generate positive cash flow. Our business model is to develop or acquire medical related products, engage third parties to manufacture such products and then distribute the products through various distribution channels, including third parties. The Company has significant assets in three different life saving technologies; the CardioMap® heart monitoring and screening device, the Save a Life choking rescue device and a unique neurosteroid drug compound intended to treat rare brain disorders. We intend to acquire other technologies and assets and plan to be a trans-disciplinary product development company involved in the discovery, development and commercialization of products and technologies that may be applied over various medical markets. We intend to license, improve and/or develop our products and identify and select distribution channels. We intend to establish agreements with distributors to get products to market quickly as well as to undertake and engage in our own direct marketing efforts. We will determine the most effective method of distribution for each unique product that we include in our portfolio. We intend to engage third party research and development firms who specialize in the creation of our products to assist us in the development of our own products We intend to apply for trademarks and patents once we have developed proprietary products.

 

We are not currently selling or marketing any products, as our product is in late stage development and Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") clearance or approval to market the product will be required in order to sell in the United States.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) generally requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Basis of accounting

The Company has not elected to adopt the option available under GAAP to measure any of its eligible financial instruments or other items at fair value. Accordingly, the Company measures all of its assets and liabilities on the historical cost basis of accounting unless otherwise required by GAAP.

 

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimated allowance for doubtful accounts, if deemed necessary by management. An allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts, if any, by identifying troubled accounts and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts.

 

Property and equipment, net

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. For the year ended July 31, 2019 and 2018 the Company recognized depreciation expense of $552.

 

 

 

  F-6  

 

 

Beneficial Conversion Feature of convertible notes payable

The Beneficial Conversion Feature ("BCF") of a convertible note is normally characterized as the convertible portion or feature of certain notes payable that provide a rate of conversion that is below market value or in-the-money when issued. The Company records a BCF related to the issuance of a convertible note when issued and also records the estimated fair value of any warrants issued with those convertible notes. Beneficial conversion features that are contingent upon the occurrence of a future event are recorded upon the occurrence of the event.

 

The BCF of a convertible note is measured by allocating a portion of the note's proceeds to the warrants, if applicable, and as a reduction of the carrying amount of the convertible note equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion feature, both of which are credited to additional paid-in-capital. The value of the proceeds received from a convertible note is then allocated between the conversion features and warrants on an allocated fair value basis. The allocated fair value is recorded in the financial statements as a debt discount (premium) from the face amount of the note and such discount is amortized over the expected term of the convertible note (or to the conversion date of the note, if sooner) and is charged to interest expense.

 

Net loss per share

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. No fully diluted loss per share is presented, because it would be anti-dilutive.

 

Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when control is transferred to the customer. For products sold through direct sales representatives, control is transferred upon shipment or upon delivery, based on the contract terms and legal requirements. Payment terms vary depending on the country of sale, type of customer, and type of product. If a contract contains more than one performance obligation, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on relative standalone selling price. Shipping and handling is treated as a fulfillment activity rather than a promised service, and therefore, is not considered a performance obligation. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on, and concurrent with, a specific revenue producing transaction and collected by the Company from customers (for example, sales, use, value added, and some excise taxes) are not included in revenue. For contracts that have an original duration of one year or less, the Company uses the practical expedient applicable to such contracts and does not adjust the transaction price for the time value of money. We are not currently selling or marketing any products, as our product is in late stage development and FDA clearance to market the product will be required in order to sell in the United States.

 

3. Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”), to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs.

 

 

 

  F-7  

 

 

The FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260) effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The amendments update the change in the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments also clarify existing disclosure requirements for equity-classified instruments. This new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt the standard as of August 1, 2019 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

 

The FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements. The ASU amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements, provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting. The new guidance will allow companies to make certain changes to awards without accounting for them as modifications. It does not change the accounting for modifications. The new guidance will be applied prospectively to awards modified on or after the adoption date. This new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company will adopt the standard as of August 1, 2019 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

 

The FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements.  The guidance requires lessees and lessors to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt the standard as of August 1, 2019 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures.

 

4. Intangible Assets – Patent and Distribution Rights

 

FASB ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures", establishes a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC 820 are described as follows:

 

Level 1 – Observable inputs, such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets, for substantially identical assets and liabilities.

 

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 for similar assets and liabilities. These include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.  If the asset or liability has a specified or contractual term, the input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, generally requiring a significant amount of judgment by management.  The assets or liabilities fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level.

 

 

 

  F-8  

 

 

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Further, although the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

 

The Company purchased distribution rights to sell and distribute a new technology, CardioMap®, which is an advanced technology for early non-invasive testing for heart disease. The product distribution rights are amortized over the life of the underlying patent. The acquisition cost of $18.75 million (Level 2) is valued at the fair market value of $1.25 per share for the stock granted on the date of acquisition.

 

The Company acquired the intellectual property, know-how and patents for an anti-choking, life-saving medical device from Dr. James De Luca (“De Luca”), inventor and Murdock Capital Partners (“MCP”). The asset is valued at $675,400 (Level 2), which includes the fair market value of $1.25 per share for the stock granted on the date of acquisition, as well as stock options granted valued at $0.84 per share based upon the Black-Scholes valuation model and a onetime cash payment totaling $250,000 that will be paid upon FDA clearance of the product. The payment is recorded as a contingent liability and, based upon an independent valuation of the patents (Level 3), at July 31, 2019, the payment has a fair market value of $144,000. The intellectual property, know-how and patents are being amortized over the life of the patents.

 

The Company acquired the patented chemical compound for a neurosteroid as part of the joint venture agreement with Prevacus, Inc. The acquisition cost of $3.73 million (Level 2) is being amortized over the life of the patent. The asset is valued at the fair market value of $1.25 per share for the stock granted on the date of acquisition. The patents are being amortized over the life of the patents.

 

For the year ended July 31, 2019 the gross carrying amount of the intangible assets totaled $23,205,400 and accumulated amortization totaled $65,830 for a net amount of $23,139,570. Amortization expense recognized for the year ended July 31, 2019 and 2019 is $40,830 and $10,000, respectively. Patents are amortized over their useful lives with the weighted average years remaining of 10.73 with no residual value. Amortization is as follows over the next five years and thereafter:

 

Year Ending July 31,     Patents  
Year 1     $ 2,039,003  
Year 2       2,034,003  
Year 3       2,029,003  
Year 4       2,029,003  
Year 5       2,029,003  
Thereafter       12,979,557  

 

5. Notes Payable

 

As of July 31, 2019, the Company has a note payable that is subject to periodic payments that come due based on sales. The note fully matures in January 2020, bears interest at 12.5% annually, and the remaining unpaid balance is convertible upon maturity at the holder’s option into shares of common stock at a conversion price fixed at $0.01 per share. As of July 31, 2019, the note has a balance of $747,608. Because the conversion feature does not meet the criteria for characterization as a beneficial conversion feature, no portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the note was accounted for as attributable to the conversion feature. This note was amended on February 1, 2018, where the debt holder agreed to convert portions of its loan pari passu with any new investment raise of $500,000 or more. Furthermore, the debt holder was issued a common stock warrant for 4 million shares at $0.25 per share with an expiration date of 90 days after the issuance, as consideration to the debt holder to agree to begin to convert portions of its loan to common stock pari passu with a new offering raise of investment at a minimum of $500,000. As of July 31, 2019, these warrants expired.

 

 

 

  F-9  

 

 

 

As of July 31, 2019, the Company has three additional convertible debt notes outstanding. The notes bear interest at 7.0% annually and the entire outstanding principal amount, together with accrued interest shall become due and payable on the date that is one (1) year from the date of issuance, unless before such date, is converted into shares of capital stock of the Company. At the option of the holder, the principal amount of the notes and any accrued interest may be converted into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share or at a 10% discount to the closing price on the day of conversion, but not lower than $0.50 per share. At maturity, and subject to a trickle out agreement, the Company shall have the right to either pay off the loan and any interest accrued or convert the loan amount and any interest into shares of common stock. The debt holders were issued a common stock warrant equal to 10% of the note with a price of $1.50 per share and a term for one year from the investment date. At July 31, 2019, the notes have a balance of $37,305. Because the conversion feature met the criteria for characterization as a beneficial conversion feature, a portion of the proceeds, including warrants, of $213,650 from the issuance of the notes are accounted for as attributable to the conversion feature.

 

6. Fair Value Measurements

 

The carrying values of cash, the note receivable, and notes payable approximate their estimated fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

7. Common Stock

 

For the year ended July 31, 2018, the Company’s Board approved the return of 60 million shares from the founding common stockholders.

On June 27, 2019, Odyssey entered into a Definitive Agreement with Prevacus to form a Joint Venture relating to the development of a neurosteroid for treating two orphan disorders, ALS and Niemann Picks disease. Prevacus contributed to the JV, the chemical compound and Odyssey is be responsible for funding the JV through Phase One clinical trials. The JV company will own the patents. Each party will own the JV company equally. In addition to the JV, the two companies have entered into a share exchange agreement whereby Prevacus will receive three million shares of Odyssey common stock and Odyssey will receive one million shares of Prevacus stock. The chemical compound for the neurosteroid being developed has issued patents, and as consideration for the patented compound, Odyssey issued Prevacus two million shares of its common stock. As part of the Agreement, Dr. Jacob Vanlandingham Ph.D., CEO of Prevacus, was issued one million shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company allocated 984,000 shares to the acquisition of the patent and 20,000 shares were allocated to Dr. Vanlandingham as a Director of the Company.

 

On June 27, 2019, Odyssey entered into a Definitive Agreement with Dr. James De Luca, inventor and Murdock Capital Partners, advisors to De Luca, to acquire the intellectual property, know-how and patents for a life-saving medical device currently in development. The Company acquired intellectual property rights, namely, United States Letters Patent No. 7,559,921, entitled “Device for Removing a Lodged Mass” which issued on July 14, 2009 and which was reissued on June 2, 2015 and received U.S. Reissue Patent No. Re 45,535 and United States Patent Number 8,454,624 also entitled “Device for Removing a Lodged Mass” which was issued on June 4, 2013.

A onetime cash payment totaling $250,000 will be paid to Deluca and MCP upon FDA clearance of the product. The payment is recorded as a contingent liability and, based upon an independent valuation of the patents, at July 31, 2019, the payment has a fair market value of $144,000.

 

8. Stock Based Compensation

 

We have not adopted any equity compensation plans. We have entered into an individual compensation plan for Mr. Redmond, for which Mr. Redmond has been granted stock options of 15 million shares at $0.25 per share. The options vest upon achieving the following milestones: 5 million options vest upon each milestone, when the Company obtains revenue of $5 million, $10 million and $15 million. Mr. Redmond cannot sell any of the above stock options for two years from the effective date of the employment agreement or until the Company reaches $10 million in annual revenue, whichever occurs first. The stock option vesting accelerates and becomes immediately exercisable upon the sale, merger or any transaction resulting in the majority (more than 50%) of the Company stock being obtained. The Company has not recorded any expense, as we have not determined that it is probable that the milestones will be achieved.

 

9. Income Taxes

 

We expect to file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions in which we operate and are currently not under examination. As of July 31, 2019, and 2018, the Company had net deferred tax assets of $260,247 and $309,859 consisting of net operating loss carryforwards that expire in 2035 net of an effective offsetting valuation allowance of 100%. Our effective tax rate for 2019 and 2018 is 21%. The Company has established the valuation allowance because due to substantial uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern (Note 10), it is more likely than not at this time that the deferred tax assets will not be realized within the carryforward period.

 

10. Going Concern

 

We have a deficit of $1,521,302 as of July 31, 2019. For the foreseeable future, we expect to experience continuing operating losses and negative cash flows from operations as our management executes our current business plan. The cash available at July 31, 2019, may not provide enough working capital to meet our current operating expenses through October 23, 2020, as we continue to accrue overhead expenses. We will need to raise additional capital through a debt financing or equity offering to meet our operating and capital needs. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be successful in our fundraising efforts or that additional funds will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

 

If we are unable to raise additional capital by October 23, 2020, we will adjust our current business plan. Due to our lack of additional committed capital, recurring losses, negative cash flow and accumulated deficit, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms relating to our company, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared.

 

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

In light of the material weakness described below, as of July 31, 2019, prior to the filing of this Form 10-K for the period ended July 31, 2019, management determined that key controls were performed timely and additional procedures were performed, including validating the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used to support the amounts reported in the financial statements. These control activities and additional procedures have allowed us to conclude that, notwithstanding the material weaknesses, the financial statements in this Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, statement of shareholder equity and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with United States GAAP.

 

        We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act.

 

Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of its management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect material misstatements. In addition, effective internal control at a point in time may become ineffective in future periods because of changes in conditions or due to deterioration in the degree of compliance with our established policies and procedures. 

 

A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in there being a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

 

 

 

  22  

 

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our president, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as of July 31, 2019, based on the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 2013. Based on our evaluation under this framework, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the evaluation date due to the factors stated below.

 

Insufficient Resources: We have an inadequate number of personnel with requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting.

 

Inadequate Segregation of Duties: We have an inadequate number of personnel to properly implement control procedures.

 

Lack of Audit Committee: We did not have a functioning audit committee during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2019, resulting in lack of independent oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.

 

We are committed to improving the internal controls and will (1) continue to use third party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist the Company with accounting and finance responsibilities, (2) increase the frequency of independent reconciliations of significant accounts, which will mitigate the lack of segregation of duties until there are sufficient personnel, and (3) may consider appointing additional outside directors and audit committee members in the future.

 

We have discussed the material weakness noted above with our independent registered public accounting firm. Due to the nature of this material weakness, there is a more than remote likelihood that misstatements, which could be material to the annual or interim financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only our report in this annual report.

 

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Board of Directors

 

Our board of directors currently consists of five members. Our bylaws permit our board of directors to establish by resolution the authorized number of directors, and three independent directors are currently authorized.

Director Independence

 

Under the rules of the national securities exchanges, a majority of a listed company’s board of directors must be comprised of independent directors, and each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation, and nominating and corporate governance committees must be independent as well. Under the same rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if that company’s board of directors affirmatively determines that such director has no material relationship with that company, either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with that company.

 

In addition, following the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this report is a part, the members of our audit committee must satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Rule 10A-3. In order to be considered to be independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3, no member of the audit committee may, other than in his capacity as a member of the audit committee, the board of directors or any other board committee: (1) accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from the company or any of its subsidiaries or (2) be an affiliated person of the company or any of its subsidiaries.

 

Committees of our Board of Directors

 

On October 17, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company established audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance, committees. Our Board of Directors currently consists of five members, four of whom are considered independent.

 

Audit Committee. We established an audit committee, which consists of three independent directors. The audit committee's duties are to recommend to the Company's board of directors, the engagement of independent auditors to audit our financial statements and to review its accounting and auditing principles. The audit committee reviews the scope, timing and fees for the annual audit and the results of audit examinations performed by the internal auditors and independent public accountants, including their recommendations to improve the system of accounting and internal controls. The audit committee is composed exclusively of directors who are, in the opinion of our Board of Directors, free from any relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment as a committee member and who possess an understanding of financial statements and generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Compensation Committee. We established a compensation committee, which consists of three independent directors. The compensation committee responsible for determining executive and director compensation. In considering and determining executive and director compensation, our compensation committee will be responsible for reviewing compensation that is paid by other similar public companies to its officers and will take that into consideration in determining the compensation to be paid to the Company’s officers. The compensation committee determines and approves any non-cash compensation to any employee. We have not and do not intend to engage consultants in determining or recommending the compensation to our officers or employees.

 

Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. We established a corporate governance and nominating committee, which consists of three independent directors. The nominating committee is a committee of the Company established to support the board of directors in fulfilling its fiduciary duties to appoint the best-qualified candidates for the board of directors, board president-elect and CEO positions.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Sections 78.7502 and 78.751 of the Nevada Revised Statutes provides that directors and officers of Nevada corporations may, under certain circumstances, be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and other liabilities actually and reasonably incurred by them as a result of any suit brought against them in their capacity as a director or officer, if they acted in good faith and in a manner that they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes also provides that directors and officers of Nevada corporations also may be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with a derivative suit if they acted in good faith and in a manner that they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made without court approval if such person was adjudged liable to the corporation.

 

Article VIII of our articles of incorporation provides that we shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada, indemnify our directors, officers and certain other persons. Article V, Section 1 of our bylaws provides that our directors, officers and certain other persons shall be indemnified and held harmless by us to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.

 

Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Nevada State Law

 

We may be or in the future we may become subject to Nevada's control share law. A corporation is subject to Nevada's control share law if it has more than 200 stockholders, at least 100 of whom are stockholders of record and residents of Nevada, and if the corporation does business in Nevada or through an affiliated corporation.

 

The law focuses on the acquisition of a “controlling interest,” which means the ownership of outstanding voting shares is sufficient, but for the control share law to enable the acquiring person to exercise the following proportions of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors: (1) one-fifth or more but less than one-third, (2) one-third or more but less than a majority, or (3) a majority or more. The ability to exercise such voting power may be direct or indirect, as well as individual or in association with others.

 

The effect of the control share law is that the acquiring person, and those acting in association with that person, obtain only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders of the corporation, approved at a special or annual meeting of stockholders. The control share law contemplates that voting rights will be considered only once by the other stockholders. Thus, there is no authority to take away voting rights from the control shares of an acquiring person once those rights have been approved. If the stockholders do not grant voting rights to the control shares acquired by an acquiring person, those shares do not become permanent non-voting shares. The acquiring person is free to sell its shares to others. If the buyers of those shares themselves do not acquire a controlling interest, their shares do not become governed by the control share law.

 

If control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired control shares with a majority or more of the voting power, any stockholder of record, other than an acquiring person, who has not voted in favor of approval of voting rights, is entitled to demand fair value for such stockholder's shares.

 

Nevada's control share law may have the effect of discouraging corporate takeovers.

 

 

 

  27  

 

 

In addition to the control share law, Nevada has a business combination law, which prohibits certain business combinations between Nevada corporations and "interested stockholders" for three years after the "interested stockholder" first becomes an "interested stockholder" unless the corporation's board of directors approves the combination in advance. For purposes of Nevada law, an "interested stockholder" is any person who is (1) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, or (2) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and at any time within the three previous years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of the corporation. The definition of the term "business combination" is sufficiently broad to cover virtually any kind of transaction that would allow a potential acquirer to use the corporation's assets to finance the acquisition or otherwise to benefit its own interests rather than the interests of the corporation and its other stockholders.

 

The effect of Nevada's business combination law is to potentially discourage parties interested in taking control of the company from doing so if it cannot obtain the approval of our Board of Directors.

 

Family Relationships

 

There are no family relationships among the directors and executive officers of our company.

 

Conflicts of Interest

 

There are no conflicts of interest with any officers, directors or executive staff.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

To the best of our knowledge, during the past five years, none of the following occurred with respect to a present or former director or executive officer of the company: (1) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) being subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of any competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and (4) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange Commission or the commodities futures trading commission to have violated a Federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.

The Board of Directors has reviewed and discussed with the Company's management and independent registered public accounting firm the audited financial statements of the Company contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Company's 2019 fiscal year. The Board has also discussed with the auditors the matters required to be discussed pursuant to SAS No. 61 (Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards, AU Section 380), which includes, among other items, matters related to the conduct of the audit of the Company's financial statements.

 

The Board has received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees) and has discussed with its auditors its independence from the Company. The Board has considered whether the provision of services other than audit services is compatible with maintaining auditor independence.

The Board's policy is now to pre-approve all audit services and all permitted non-audit services (including the fees and terms thereof) to be provided by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm; provided, however, pre-approval requirements for non-audit services are not required if all such services (1) do not aggregate to more than five percent of total revenues paid by the Company to its accountant in the fiscal year when services are provided; (2) were not recognized as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and (3) are promptly brought to the attention of the Board and approved prior to the completion of the audit.

Exhibit 14

 

 

ODYSSEY GROUP INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

 

This Code of Business Conduct and Ethics covers basic principles to guide all Odyssey officers, directors, and employees, as well as representatives, consultants and agents in their dealings with or on behalf of Odyssey. If you violate the standards in this Code, you will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.

 

If you or someone you know are in a situation which you believe may violate or lead to a violation of this Code, please follow the guidelines described in Article VII.

 

ARTICLE I
HONESTY, ACCURACY, AND FAIR DEALING

 

You should act in good faith, responsibly, with due care, competence and diligence, without misrepresentation. Odyssey’s books, records, accounts and financial statements must accurately reflect transactions and relevant matters, and must conform both to legal requirements and to Odyssey’s system of internal controls.

 

You should deal fairly and honestly with Odyssey’s customers, suppliers, competitors and other team members. You should not steal proprietary information, possess trade secret information that was obtained without the owner’s consent, or induce disclosures of such information from past or present employees of other companies, nor should you take unfair advantage of anyone through misrepresentation, fraud, abuse of privileged information or any other unfair dealing practice.

 

ARTICLE II
COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS

 

You must respect and obey the local, state, and national laws of the localities in which we operate. We encourage you to consult regularly with your supervisor regarding your compliance with laws, rules and regulations.

 

The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act prohibits giving anything of value, directly or indirectly, to officials of foreign governments or foreign political candidates in order to obtain or retain business. It is prohibited to make illegal payments to government officials of any country.

 

As an Odyssey team member, you may have access to confidential information about Odyssey or companies with which we do business.  You are not permitted to use or share that information for stock trading purposes or for any other purpose except the conduct of our business. To use confidential information for personal benefit or to “tip” others who might use the information for personal benefit or to make an investment decision is not only unethical but also illegal.  It is important to avoid even the appearance of impropriety.

  

 

 

  1  

 

 

ARTICLE III
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST, CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES, AND GIFTS

 

A “conflict of interest” exists when a person’s private interest interferes with the interests of Odyssey. Conflicts of interest may also arise when you or members of your family receive improper personal benefits as a result of your position with Odyssey. Loans to, or guarantees of obligations of, you or your family members may create conflicts of interest. Conflicts of interest may not always be clear-cut, so if you have a question, you should follow the guidelines described in Article VII.

 

You must not take for yourself an opportunity discovered through the use of Odyssey property, information or position. You may not use Odyssey property, information or position for improper personal gain, nor may you compete with Odyssey directly or indirectly. You owe a duty to Odyssey to advance its legitimate interests when the opportunity arises.

 

Although Odyssey generally relies on your good judgment when it comes to gifts, you are specifically prohibited from (a) accepting gifts for relatives, friends or other associates, or (b) accepting a cash gift at any time. If you receive a non-cash gift with a value in excess of two hundred fifty U.S. dollars ($250.00), or if you are in doubt about the value of a gift, you should report it to Odyssey’s Finance Department. Non-cash gifts may include benefits that you do not routinely think of as a “gift,” such as trips, concert or other event tickets, or social outings.  You may be required to turn over any such gifts to Odyssey.

 

ARTICLE IV
PROTECTION AND PROPER USE OF ODYSSEY RESOURCES

 

You are responsible for protecting Odyssey’s assets. Any suspected fraud, theft or misuse of Odyssey assets should be immediately reported to Odyssey in accordance with the guidelines described in Article VII. Your obligation to protect Odyssey’s assets extends to Odyssey’s property, products, and intellectual property including trademarks, trade secrets, patents, and copyrights, as well as business, marketing and service plans, manufacturing ideas, designs, records, and any unpublished data and reports.

 

Unless disclosure is authorized by Odyssey or required by law or regulation, you must hold and maintain confidential information in trust and confidence for the benefit of Odyssey and take reasonable security precautions and other actions necessary to ensure that there is no use or disclosure of confidential information in violation of these obligations. Confidential information includes all information relating to Odyssey that is not publicly available or that is treated by Odyssey as confidential, as well as all information provided to Odyssey by a customer or other third party with an expectation of confidentiality.

  

ARTICLE V
PUBLIC DISCLOSURES

 

As a publicly traded company, Odyssey is subject to laws and regulations that govern how and when we disclose information. Only Odyssey’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and a person authorized by one of them, is permitted to speak with investors or investment analysts about Odyssey, or to speak with the media about matters involving Odyssey’s financial condition, results of operations, future business prospects, or similar topics. General media relations should be coordinated by Odyssey’s Investor Relations Department. You should always refer news reporters, stock analysts or others seeking information about Odyssey to one of the individuals listed above or to Odyssey’s Investor Relations Department.

 

 

 

  2  

 

 

Disclosures in securities filings and public communications should be complete, fair, accurate, timely and understandable. If you become aware of any information concerning (a) material defects in the disclosures made by Odyssey in its public filings; (b) significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls; (c) any violation of this Code that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Odyssey’s financial reporting, disclosures or internal controls; or (d) any material violation of the law or this Code, you should follow the guidelines described in Article VII.

 

ARTICLE VI
EMPLOYEE RELATIONS

 

Our goal is to make Odyssey an exciting and dynamic place to work, where all employees are given the opportunity to achieve their potential.  A crucial factor in reaching this goal is ensuring that Odyssey’s work environment is one that is safe and free of illegal discrimination or harassment of any kind. You should become familiar with Odyssey’s employment policies.

 

ARTICLE VII
COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES

 

If you have questions about this Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, or if you have concerns about conduct that you believe violates or may lead to a violation of this Code, it is important that you raise them through one of the channels described below. Please be assured that Odyssey does not allow retaliation against employees for good faith reports of misconduct.

 

·                  You are always encouraged to bring questions or concerns to your supervisor.  Management can only make appropriate decisions if fully informed; it will be helpful if you present as complete a picture as possible to your supervisor.  It is the responsibility of every supervisor to assist in resolving these questions or concerns.

 

·                  If you are more comfortable bringing your question or concern to a member of management who is not your supervisor, you are encouraged to contact any other member of management.

 

All employees are required to cooperate fully with any internal investigations of misconduct.

 

ARTICLE VIII
ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT

 

The Board of Directors is responsible for the administration and enforcement of this Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, but may delegate its responsibility to a committee of the Board. The Board shall take reasonable steps to monitor and audit compliance with the Code and to ensure that the Code continues to comply with all applicable rules and regulations.

 

Any waiver of this Code for an executive officer or director must be approved by the Board of Directors and will be promptly disclosed as required by law or regulation. Any waiver for any other employee, representative, consultant or agent must be approved by the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, or the Chief Financial Officer.

 

This Code of Business Conduct and Ethics was adopted by the Board of Directors on October 17, 2019. Amendments or changes to this Code may only be made by the Board.
